Chapter 1423: Chapter 1035: Such a Huge Gossip!

Yan Xuan smiled and said, "You finally figured it out. My master’s little courtyard is a rare feng shui treasure on earth. Being able to cultivate here gives hope for future ascension."

Lan Shanying was mentally prepared, yet never expected Mr. Jiang’s "little courtyard" to be akin to the Celestial Palace!

Upon hearing that the Divine Beast who had already ascended as the Black Tortoise still called him master, he was secretly amazed and hurried forward to introduce himself, sincerely expressing his desire to become a guest.

"If the two of you are willing, how could I refuse?" Jiang Yuan was full of curiosity towards Demon Lord Yun Li, smoothly replying, "Today we’ve been feasting firstly to celebrate Yan Xuan’s ascension; secondly, to welcome the Ancient Nine Major Sects joining the courtyard. Now let us add another joy—congratulations to Daoist friends Du and Lan for moving into the courtyard!"

Receiving two requests for relationship binding, he clicked confirm for each. Two beams of light then enveloped the counterparts; in the interpersonal system, there were two more powerful generals among the guests.

Everyone congratulated collectively, pushing the banquet to a new climax.

"City Lord Yuan, please wait." As the sky lightened and the grand banquet ended with guests all joyous, seeing Yuan Man about to leave with Rabbit Demon Feng Ling, Jiang Yuan quickly called out.

Having repaired the Heart Mirror last time, the side quest from the Daughter of Fortune required giving her 200 points of Life Origin.

Presumably, filling the deficit would restore Yuan Man to her former glory.

Previously, everyone was too busy to complete the task, so he had to seize the time after the brief leisure to fulfill it.

"Does sir have any instructions?" Yuan Man paused and smiled, "I’ve negotiated with the Haoyue Sect’s sect leader. Once I find a suitable place for migration in the New World, we will gradually move, freeing up houses for Haoyue Sect’s use.

After all, the residents of my Cloud City are simple-natured, and managing them is easier with the Heart Mirror. Human Cultivators and Demon Cultivators will first try to coexist in one city.

In the future, we will gradually withdraw while Haoyue Sect takes over bit by bit. But the Underground City’s transition will take longer; I must fulfill my agreement with Elder Xuanyuan, as extensive Spirit Plant cultivation and management require cultivating Earth Attribute cultivators to take over. In the short term, Haoyue Sect doesn’t have enough manpower."

They reached an agreement so quickly, Jiang Yuan was delighted, waved with a smile, "Your proposal is excellent, we can try it slowly. However, I asked you to stop not to discuss migration matters. With the right timing, it’s time to supplement you with the needed Life Origin."

With that, he entered 200 points into the popped-up interface and clicked confirm.

"Hoo~"

Without warning, wind arose beneath their feet, enveloping them entirely with sparkling light points and a strong vitality!

Members of the courtyard were accustomed to such grand spectacle, but the newly joined Du Li and Lan Shanying were startled, even the Iron-Headed Lion poked its head out from the Aerial Pavilion’s courtyard to observe.

"Is this... the scent of Life Origin?" Lan Shanying, being experienced, paused before reacting, then looked at Du Li, "You designed to steal Yuan Man’s fortune back then, causing her to lose some Life Origin. Is Mr. Jiang making her whole again?"

Having already learned details from former avatar Qu Luming, Du Li nodded and smiled ruefully, "That’s right, which is part of why I insisted on dragging you to the courtyard.

Qu Luming found time to explain: he made a private deal with Mr. Jiang and Yuan Man. You know, that guy excels at resource exchange across allies, and part of the deal includes supplementing Yuan Man’s lost Life Origin."

Lan Shanying slightly raised his eyebrows, looking at the below completion ceremony filled with passionate amazement, feeling once more a shock beyond description.

A Human Race Cultivator who nurtured the Four Symbols Divine Beast, simultaneously wielding mysterious and powerful Life Origin, able to effortlessly replenish others’ deficits. Mr. Jiang in the Celestial Realm is probably not an ordinary Immortal!

Should I truthfully inform about the collaboration with Demon Lord Yun Li?

He hesitated slightly, though it appeared Mr. Jiang’s goal was to return the Wilderness World to humans. Yet, the migration measures were too mild; even with a Black Tortoise Divine Beast ascended, the Wilderness may still not be able to wait!

In the meantime, recent contact with Yun Li has been impossible. Should he wait patiently and then negotiate with him, or follow the original plan, accelerating the migration for Demon Cultivators and Demon Beasts?

"The power of Life Origin is truly miraculous; Qu Luming received Mr. Jiang’s blessing, transforming from my avatar into a genuine Ghost Cultivator, with an independent soul." Du Li was still marveling, whispering, "Today I saw Bai Yunqi, who successfully transformed, when he first followed Mr. Jiang he was merely a Snake Demon avatar.

His former body was Huo Jun, who is said to be cultivating in the Extreme East Secret Realm now, and may ascend as the Divine Beast Azure Dragon among the Four Symbols in the future. By the way, why didn’t you choose to transform into a Flood Dragon or a Dragon?"

Lan Shanying’s true form is the Rainbow-scaled Snake Demon; logically, snakes usually dream of transforming into a Flood Dragon or a Dragon.

Having cultivated to the Mahayana Realm yet remaining in snake demon form doesn’t match his character.

"When you and I got acquainted, I was already a Demon Cultivator in the Wisdom Realm, not so desperate for a turnaround. I never mentioned past experiences so you weren’t aware." Lan Shanying heard and sighed softly, staring blankly towards the distant mountains, explained, "I wasn’t born as a Demon Cultivator above the Wilderness.

My birthplace collapsed while I was young.

At the time I was over two hundred years old, which, according to the natural lifespan of the Rainbow-scaled Snake clan, was merely a lad. I disliked cultivation, idly wasted my days, receiving constant nagging from parents and elders of the clan. Alas!"
