Chapter 878: Chapter 423: Supplementary Update in Progress...

"Hm?"

Tianfu froze for a moment, then suddenly understood.

He remembered that today he had to follow this uncle to the inner sect to meet that aunt.

"Uncle, I got so busy I forgot."

Celestial Soul was helpless. He swept a glance over the Spirit Field in front of him and said, "Watering counts as busy?"

As soon as the words fell, Celestial Soul suddenly stiffened, his brows lifting slightly. "No, wait... brat, what’s that stuff in your bucket? There’s a very pure, and especially dense blood qi, and it’s carrying a... scorching heat!"

"Spirit Water I mixed myself, for cultivating heavenly materials and earthly treasures." Tianfu hurriedly lifted the bucket back toward the cave dwelling, lest this uncle get curious and come closer.

After putting the bucket back in the cave dwelling, Tianfu quickly said, "Uncle, let’s go!"

"You brat, won’t even let me take a look? That’s really stingy... Fine, let’s go." Celestial Soul didn’t insist on digging to the bottom. He took out a Flying Spiritual Artifact, and a small boat carried Tianfu toward the inner sect.

All the way, Celestial Soul didn’t say much, only gave Tianfu some inside information and explained the purpose of this trip.

"This time, I plan to have you stay in the inner sect from now on, far away from the Chen Family’s disputes. Chen Chengzhi is dead, but the Chen Family still exists. And even if there were no Chen Family, there would be some Yang Family, Li Family."

"Isn’t the inner sect only for Foundation Establishment Cultivators?" Tianfu asked quickly.

Celestial Soul replied, "In principle, yes, but the inner sect can’t have Foundation Establishment Cultivators doing everything, so there are also many Qi Refining Cultivators in the inner sect. It’s just that more or less they’re all connected to Foundation Establishment Cultivators; ordinary Qi Refining Cultivators don’t have the fortune to enter the inner sect."

"So that’s how it is." Tianfu understood.

Celestial Soul’s tone suddenly slowed a bit. "Once your matter is settled, this old man can finally go home with an easy mind."

With that said, he let out a long breath.

Tianfu saw this but didn’t say much. After all, this is life, always accompanied by all sorts of regrets.

As for directly saying that he could cultivate, or obtain, three hundred-year-old Earth Yellow Essence to give this uncle some hope—

After thinking it over repeatedly, Tianfu decided not to do that. Because if he said he could obtain it, this uncle certainly wouldn’t have it. If he said he could cultivate it, that would undoubtedly be bringing trouble onto himself, and he was someone who very much disliked trouble.

Otherwise he wouldn’t have secretly gone to kill Chen Chengzhi immediately after his Realm Breakthrough.

Three hours later, they finally reached the inner sect.

Tianfu’s first impression was: in terms of terrain, the outer and inner sects weren’t much different, but the Spiritual Qi in the inner sect was extremely dense; even at the edge, the Spiritual Qi concentration was several times that of the outer sect’s peak.

His second impression was: the inner sect’s population was extremely sparse; you could walk for a quarter of an hour before encountering someone. Yet whenever you did meet someone, they were almost all at the Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer or above, even those Servants who were only sweeping fallen leaves.

Every now and then, Foundation Establishment Cultivators would sweep past overhead, mostly Early Stage of Foundation Establishment, with the occasional Middle Stage and Late Stage cultivator.

After maintaining low-altitude swift travel for an hour, Celestial Soul suddenly stopped.

Obviously, they had reached their destination.

Just as they landed, a young Female Cultivator at Qi Cultivation Great Perfection hurried over, as if she had already noticed their arrival.

"Uncle Tian."

Celestial Soul replied with a smile, "So it’s Qinghuan. Didn’t expect that after three years you’ve not only become more pretty, but also stepped into Qi Cultivation Great Perfection."

The Female Cultivator smiled and said, "Uncle Tian, you flatter me."

Then she set her gaze on Tianfu. "And this is?"

"This is Tianfu, whom your master mentioned before. He joined Wuji Sect just over two months ago, and he also has an Earth Spirit Root." Celestial Soul shot Tianfu a look. "Hurry up and salute; Qinghuan is your aunt’s Disciple."

Tianfu quickly spoke up, "Sister Qinghuan."

Qinghuan smiled and nodded. "Earth Spirit Root, not bad, not bad... Once Master comes out of seclusion and learns of this, she’ll definitely be very happy."

"Seclusion?" Celestial Soul’s expression tightened.

Qinghuan hurriedly said, "Early this morning, Master suddenly went into seclusion. It seems she suffered quite a serious injury on this mission, but since she made it back, it counts as a blessing in misfortune."

"This..." Celestial Soul was stunned. "This old man had been thinking of sending this boy Tianfu to cultivate by her side."

Qinghuan smiled and said, "Uncle Tian, you needn’t worry about that. Even if Master isn’t here, I can use her name to arrange for Tianfu to enter the inner sect. Master had planned things for Tianfu a long time ago."

"That’s excellent!" Getting this answer, Celestial Soul’s smile returned. "By the way, your master’s injuries aren’t too serious, are they?"

"Uncle Tian, there’s no need to worry too much, it’s nothing major." As she spoke, Qinghuan took out an Inner Sect Token from her storage pouch, with the three characters "Cyan Bamboo Peak" inscribed on it. "Tianfu, take this Token. With it, you can freely enter and exit the inner sect and Cyan Bamboo Peak."

After receiving the Token, Tianfu quickly expressed his thanks. "Thank you, Sister Qinghuan."

Seeing this, Celestial Soul seemed disinclined to linger. "Qinghuan, I’ll leave this brat Tianfu in your care then. We’ll meet again another day!"

"Uncle Tian, until we meet again." After Qinghuan finished speaking, and Celestial Soul patted Tianfu’s shoulder and turned to leave, her gaze fell on Tianfu, her eyes showing a satisfied look. "So young, yet quite daring—you actually dared to refuse Senior Yue Haiden. Do you know that although Senior Yue Haiden’s strength is not equal to your aunt’s, his master is a legendary Golden Core Zhenren!"

"He mentioned that at the time," Tianfu replied.

Qinghuan turned her head back to look at Tianfu in great surprise. "He said that, and you still refused? Do you know what sort of figure a Golden Core Zhenren is?"

"I know."

"You brat... you’re something! You haven’t even entered the inner sect yet, and you’ve already offended a Foundation Establishment Cultivator." Qinghuan sighed. Clearly, from their brief conversation just now, she had already begun to ’look at Tianfu in a new light.’
