Chapter 1109 - 369: Choice

Jing Xinyue resided in a great hall at the very center of the city.

This great hall was the core of all the array restrictions, guarded by powerful array formations, without any cultivators standing watch.

As Lin Zheyu approached the hall, the ancient door, carved with a blazing Vermilion Bird, suddenly swung open.

A scorching aura surged from within the hall.

Lin Zheyu took a deep breath, confirming once more that the Heavenly Deceit Skill and Concealing Breath Skill were functioning properly, before stepping inside.

The hall’s decor was ancient yet grand.

Upon entering, Lin Zheyu’s eyes were immediately drawn to the enormous Vermilion Bird statue deep within the hall.

With his perception, he could discern that this massive statue was the core of the city’s entire array.

Jing Xinyue, meanwhile, sat calmly below the statue, cross-legged with her eyes closed, cultivating.

Her aura was intertwined with the Vermilion Bird statue, giving her an appearance like a Vermilion Bird herself, radiating a terrifyingly scorching presence.

"Junior Xiao Yu greets the senior."

Lin Zheyu entered the hall and respectfully saluted Jing Xinyue without showing fear or arrogance.

"No need for formalities."

Jing Xinyue slowly opened her eyes, the flames in her gaze flickering away.

She quietly observed Lin Zheyu, her profoundly deep eyes seemingly able to penetrate everything, making Lin Zheyu somewhat uncomfortable.

"I wonder what urgent matter the senior has with this junior?"

Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Lin Zheyu asked in a composed voice.

He usually gave others the feeling of being starkly exposed, but now with circumstances reversed, he felt very uneasy.

"No need to be formal, I just need your assistance with something."

Jing Xinyue smiled faintly, her stunning beauty momentarily stupefying Lin Zheyu.

He quickly calmed his mind, suppressing his curiosity, and cupped his hands, saying, "Please instruct me, senior. As long as it’s within my ability, I will do my utmost."

"Don’t worry, it’s nothing dangerous."

"I’ve heard you’ve unlocked the three divine treasures, awakening the spiritual divine technique. Is this technique one related to perception?"

Jing Xinyue asked with a smile.

Although it was a question, her tone was full of certainty.

A little Martial Dao guy in the Shackled Realm able to perceive her divine soul; if it wasn’t for awakening a perception-type spiritual technique, there was no other explanation.

"Yes, senior."

Lin Zheyu replied.

His spiritual divine technique wasn’t merely about perception, but saying it was a perception-type divine technique wasn’t entirely inaccurate.

"Hmm."

"Try seeing if you can walk to here, if you can, this Blood Dragon Ginseng will be yours."

Jing Xinyue said lightly.

With a flick of her right hand, a jade box containing a fiery red Blood Dragon Ginseng landed about a yard in front of her.

Blood Dragon Ginseng, a powerful heavenly and earthly treasure from the Vermilion Bird Realm, was of great value to Body Refining cultivators and Martial Artists.

It was a treasure for tempering the body and strengthening the physique.

"Yes, senior."

Lin Zheyu replied.

He understood this was Jing Xinyue testing his divine technique ability.

Jing Xinyue wanted to see if Lin Zheyu’s spiritual divine technique was strong enough, strong enough to assist her in that place.

Taking a deep breath.

The Celestial Eye in his sea of consciousness suddenly opened.

Dense patterns of rules appeared in Lin Zheyu’s path, an extremely powerful Illusionary Array.

If one’s perception wasn’t strong enough, they would become trapped within, unable to escape.

However.

This posed no challenge for Lin Zheyu.

He narrowed his eyes, observed for a moment, and then stepped forward lightly, as if walking on a regular path, encountering no obstacles.

He even appeared somewhat relaxed and at ease.

Jing Xinyue watched Lin Zheyu stroll up to the jade box effortlessly, picked it up, a hint of satisfaction in her gaze.

"Thank you, senior, for the Blood Dragon Ginseng."

Lin Zheyu, holding the jade box containing the Blood Dragon Ginseng, thanked her with cupped hands.

He sensed the age of the Blood Dragon Ginseng inside the jade box, surprisingly discovering it to be a thousand-year-old Blood Dragon Ginseng.

If such an item were sold in the market, it could fetch at least twenty or thirty top-grade Spirit Stones.

"Not bad, very strong perception."

"Take this token, with it you can contact me."

"This token represents me, and other factions in Great Wei will give me some face upon seeing this token."

"For example, the Si Family."

Jing Xinyue said lightly.

Evidently, she was aware of the enmity between the Martial Alliance and the Si Family, and perhaps had noticed Si Tianyun and others secretly monitoring Lin Zheyu.

A flash of fiery red light, and a warm token landed in Lin Zheyu’s hand.

"Refine the Blood Dragon Ginseng swiftly, break through the third shackle, and when you do, I need your help with something."

"No matter the outcome, I will reward you satisfactorily." Jing Xinyue said lightly.

"Yes, senior!"

Lin Zheyu replied.

The moment he finished speaking, a soft power enveloped him, his vision blurred momentarily, and he found himself outside the great hall.

Standing outside the hall.

His expression was somewhat dazed, a mix of surprise and a predictable feeling in his eyes.

Indeed, the incomplete Heaven-Deceiving Array could not conceal his strength before a Divinity Transformation expert.

"Did this master discover my hidden strength?"

"How much did she discover?"

Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

Whoosh~~

Taking a deep breath, suppressing the worries in his heart, Lin Zheyu cupped his hands towards the hall and turned to leave.

Inside the hall.

Aware of Lin Zheyu’s departure, Jing Xinyue revealed an intriguing smile.
