Chapter 733 - 110: Just a Passerby

Xiaoqiao’s identity as an Earth Spirit Master is her greatest secret.

Aside from her former Uncle Li and her current younger brother Ping’an, no one else knows.

And over the years, she has long understood the reason Uncle Li insisted she keep this secret.

The Earth Spirit Master is the darling of this land, not only able to communicate with earth veins and explore spirit treasures, but also to harness the power of the earth and channel the earth spirit charm to nourish spirit plants, a miracle many treasure-seeking cultivators dream of, and a tool for cultivating spiritual materials and immortal herbs.

Once discovered by others, one would inevitably become a tool confined by those in higher positions, losing all freedom.

Even the Nascent Soul forces of the Central Ten Domains would take action.

For so many years, she has lived peacefully in the Celestial Cyan Domain, without anyone discerning this secret, but she dares not be careless.

As for the meaning behind that old man’s actions, she still cannot determine, but this place is not like the Celestial Cyan Domain, where there are many extraordinary people; anything is possible.

"Daoist Friend Qiao, what do you mean by that?" Qin Chuan looked at Xiaoqiao with some surprise.

"Aunt Qiao, do you mean the other party is deliberately provoking us?" Zhang Zhiwei also asked with confusion.

Given the other party’s cultivation and status, if they wanted to treat them as mere passersby and humiliate them casually, it would make sense, but if they had ulterior motives, it would indeed be somewhat unfathomable.

The gap is too large!

Xiaoqiao pondered slightly, not knowing how to explain, she could only sigh and say, "It’s just my intuition. I hope my instincts are wrong."

Qin Chuan and Zhang Zhiwei heard this, nodded with an awkward smile.

However, after Xiaoqiao’s nervous interjection, their sense of being humiliated eased somewhat.

"Enough, enough, since our cultivation is not as good as others, we should be prepared to be humiliated. Let’s go, find another place to rest, and when the ceremony is over, we should hurry back to our Cangyun State. This is not the place for us," Qin Chuan said with a self-deprecating smile.

"Uncle Chuan, all the inns and taverns are full, I’m afraid we won’t find a vacancy," Zhang Zhiwei said with some dejection.

In the Odd Stone Forest, his talent was superior, and with Li Ping’an’s connection, after his Earth Grade Spirit Root assessment, he acknowledged Sect Leader Qiao as his aunt, becoming second to none.

Even in all of Cangyun State, from the top sect of Biyun Sect, with Uncle Ping’an’s connection, Elder Xiao of the Supreme even cared considerably for him.

Not to mention the longstanding close relationship with the Purple Bamboo Forest’s Qin Family in Odd Stone Forest.

However, arriving here, he felt like he was just passing by, weak and helpless, trembling with fear.

This disparity genuinely left him deeply affected.

And made him realize the vast differences between cultivation domains.

"If it’s really not possible, let’s find a vacant spot outside the city to rest tonight," Qin Chuan responded helplessly.

The three then continued to search for a place to stay in the Immortal City.

"Aunt Qiao, do you think Uncle Ping’an will come for such a big event by the Business Alliance?" Half an hour later, after not finding an empty room after three streets, Zhang Zhiwei suddenly thought of Li Ji’an, whom he hadn’t seen in over thirty years.

Hearing this, Xiaoqiao slightly shook her head, "Your Uncle Ping’an should have gone to Yellow Heaven Domain after leaving Biyun Sect, I don’t know what’s the current situation in Yellow Heaven Domain, and whether the Business Alliance has invited cultivators from there..."

"Don’t think about it. If Uncle Ping’an hadn’t left the Upper Sect back then, it would have been fine. But once he left the Upper Sect and went to such a chaotic place like Yellow Heaven Domain, without foundations, without resources, merely with his Core Formation Early Period cultivation, I’m afraid it’s hard for him to make a name. Even if the Business Alliance broadly invites various forces in Yellow Heaven Domain, he probably wouldn’t have the chance to come," Qin Chuan asserted.

What he said was actually quite tactful.

However, this still made Zhang Zhiwei quite unwilling to accept.

"Uncle Chuan, how do you know Uncle Ping’an can’t make a mark in Yellow Heaven Domain? After all, Uncle Ping’an once escaped on his own and could form a True Pill and return. Who’s to say he isn’t thriving well in Yellow Heaven Domain now, and maybe next time he returns to the Celestial Cyan Domain, he might already be a high-status Core Formation Ascendant," Zhang Zhiwei had great confidence in Uncle Ping’an.

"Zhiwei, I also have a good relationship with your Uncle Ping’an. Naturally, I hope he can prosper on the immortal path, and I hope he can truly return to the Celestial Cyan Domain with the status of an Ascendant. By then, our Qin Family would also have something to be proud of.

Unfortunately, the immortal path is merciless, not everything happens as we wish.

When he could forge a True Pill while escaping back then, it was all because of the abundant spiritual resources of the Upper Sect providing a backing.

But this time, when he left the Upper Sect, he had no spiritual resources as foundation.

Yellow Heaven Domain, although more prosperous than the Celestial Cyan Domain, does not mean there are more opportunities.

Your Uncle Ping’an is all alone, without support, merely Core Formation Early Period cultivation, at most he can become an Honored Guest Elder.

And to my knowledge, even among the largest forces in Yellow Heaven Domain, the resources for Honored Guest Elders are very limited, and at his realm, it’s unlikely he would be fully accepted by various great forces.

So..." Qin Chuan said earnestly.

Zhang Zhiwei’s expression turned despondent. All along, Li Ping’an had been his pride and role model.

After all, his Uncle Ping’an was a premier figure in Cangyun State.

However, now, after witnessing the abundant Core Formation True Men in Feihong Immortal City, Uncle Ping’an’s Core Formation Early Period cultivation seemed to have become ordinary.

After hearing Qin Chuan’s objective analysis, he felt even worse.

Xiaoqiao, on the other hand, quietly shook her head.

Because she knew her little martial brother was not simple.

Not only did he condense a Golden Core himself, but he also helped Gugu form a Golden Core.

Moreover, when he first achieved Golden Core, he already joined forces with her to ambush and kill the Nascent Soul of the True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws, and even obtained the True Monarch’s legacy.
