Chapter 1070 - 730: Unexpected Calamity

Chapter 1070: Chapter 730: Unexpected Calamity

What Shen Xuan wants is a mountain-like sea of quantity, to let even Low Tier Cultivators possess means to contend against the High Tier.

Shen Xuan stows away the Thunder Peng Puppet and turns to walk towards the Cave Mansion.

In the distance, the morning sun emerges from the mountains, releasing myriad golden arrows.

...

Jingjian Island

Two months later.

Shen Xuan’s skill in crafting the Longevity Pill is becoming increasingly adept. ℴℴ𝘮

On this day, the furnace opens and the pill is successfully made.

Two Seven-striped Longevity Pills, faintly glowing.

Immortal Jing Lian carefully takes the elixir, unable to hide her delight, and bids a hasty farewell.

After sending off Immortal Jing Lian, Shen Xuan stands on the rocks at the front of the island, gazing at the escaping light, feeling complete tranquility within.

The sea breeze is gently soothing.

Just as Shen Xuan is about to turn back to the mansion, a Sound Transmission Talisman comes soaring through the air, hovering in front of him.

Spiritual Light flows on the talisman, with an aura that feels somewhat familiar.

A gentle touch on the fingertips, and a soft female voice fills his ears.

"I am an Outer Elder of the Myriad Phenomena Daoist Palace, by the name of True Master Illusion Flower, seeking an audience with Pill Master Shen Xingchen."

His fingers pause slightly.

True Master Illusion Flower!

Ripples gently spread in his heart.

How coincidental?

The front foot of Immortal Jing Lian just left, and she arrives on the following foot.

Shen Xuan looks towards the depths of the clouds and fog outside the island, remaining silent for a long time.

After all, he retrieves a Sound Transmission Talisman.

"Shen is undergoing critical seclusion and inconvenient for receiving guests, please forgive him, Fellow Daoist True Master Illusion Flower."

The talisman’s light flies away, vanishing into the mist.

Naturally, the voice is disguised to be utterly different from Shen Fei’s of old.

Another two months pass.

The same scene.

Pills completed, people gone, the island silent.

The lingering fragrance of Immortal Jing Lian hasn’t yet dissipated, and another Sound Transmission Talisman arrives.

Once again hovering in the same location, its Spiritual Light soft.

The voice of True Master Illusion Flower rings out again, imbued with persistence.

"I am Illusion Flower, indeed with an important matter to discuss, concerning Pill Master Shen’s future cultivation path, requesting to meet."

Shen Xuan gazes at the slightly trembling Sound Transmission Talisman, sighs lightly.

It seems True Master Illusion Flower is determined to see him.

Visiting openly in the name of an Outer Elder of the Myriad Phenomena Daoist Palace.

Very well then.

Since this is destiny’s arrangement, the ties are hard to sever, he shall meet her.

He raises his hand with a wave, the outer cloud and mist layers gently parting, revealing a path.

"Fellow Daoist Illusion Flower, please enter the island for a talk."

The voice is calm, passing through the array, transmitted towards the long-waiting figure outside.

The Restriction light screen ripples like water, a graceful shadow gradually approaching.

...

In the Cave Mansion’s living room.

When True Master Illusion Flower steps inside, her footsteps are light.

She slightly bows, her voice warm and gentle, her demeanor exceedingly humble.

"I am Illusion Flower, an Elder of the Lu Country branch of Myriad Phenomena Sect, paying respects to Pill Master Shen."

Shen Xuan lifts his eyes to look at her.

Still donned in elegant palace attire, with hair meticulously styled, her figure just as graceful as before.

It’s just that the agility and vivacity in her eyebrows are replaced with maturity carved by time.

Though they are equals, True Master Illusion Flower uses the word "pay respects."

Shen Xuan raises a hand to invite her to sit: "Fellow Daoist, too polite, please have a seat."

True Master Illusion Flower settles opposite him, with just a momentary pause in breath as she lifts her gaze.

The Pill Master in a blue robe before her...

Gentle and composed, there’s a subtle hint of familiar resemblance between the brows.

Had she not received definitive confirmation beforehand, she would find it hard to believe.

That the person in front of her is a Tier Three Upper Grade Pill Master capable of crafting Longevity Pills.

"Please have some tea, Fellow Daoist."

Shen Xuan pours her a cup.

The tea is jade green, its chill permeating, it’s top-grade Flowing Frost Cold Soul Tea.

Past events are like smoke.

Back then, it was just a fleeting romance, coming and going at will.

They were somewhat congenial while together, and he provided ample compensation upon parting.

No debts owed, each pursuing their own path.

Thinking back now, that was more than a hundred years ago.

Years ago, Shen Xuan saw True Master Illusion Flower once amidst the crowd in Myriad Phenomena Immortal City.

At that time, True Master Illusion Flower and Fairy Miaolian were seated together in a jeweled carriage.

Now, True Master Illusion Flower sits across, eyes as clear as autumn waters, yet she does not recognize him.

Which is just as well.

Shen Xuan sets down the teapot, his voice indifferent: "Fellow Daoist has come from afar, may speak directly of the important matter."

True Master Illusion Flower lifts the tea cup, her fingertips slightly tense.

Yet she does not drink.

She raises her gaze directly at Shen Xuan, pondering briefly, finally speaking earnestly: "Pill Master Shen, not to deceive you. I have obtained credible information that you are already ensnared in a deadly calamity. With slight negligence, your life will be extinguished, your path ended, never to recover!"
