I Have A Qi Fortune Altar.
Chapter 299 - 299 278 Seeing Su Ziyue Again

Chapter 299: Chapter 278: Seeing Su Ziyue Again Chapter 299: Chapter 278: Seeing Su Ziyue Again “Wu Gang stays, the rest of you leave!”

Upon hearing these words, Yue Shan and the others blinked dazedly, seemingly not finding anything amiss with the name ‘Wu Gang’ as they hastily left the room.

On the other side, the old procuress also said with a light smile, “Miss Wu, be sure to take good care of Lord Chen.”

After giving her instructions, she called Chun Mei and Qiu Mei and the other girls to leave, so as not to disturb Chen Yuan’s good fortune.

In an instant, the room was left with only Chen Yuan and the woman claiming to be ‘Wu Gang.’

After a moment of silence, Chen Yuan’s expression turned solemn, and he said faintly,

“Miss Su’s method of disguise is really… monotonous.”

It was similar to the last time they met; she had taken on the identity of a courtesan. However, this time she played a little joke by using a man’s name.

Moreover, her methods were extremely peculiar, seemingly influencing Yue Shan and the others subconsciously, causing them not to notice anything unusual. This was just the flaw she had deliberately revealed.

If Yue Shan and the others had been properly disguised, even Chen Yuan would not have been able to detect any anomalies.

The lady who called herself ‘Wu Gang’ chuckled lightly, her laughter rippling like a reflection in water, and she revealed a face that was both familiar and stunning to Chen Yuan,

It was indeed Su Ziyue!

Yet, compared to before, she was more enchanting and more alluring.

Every frown and smile was filled with charm; in his eyes, one moment she was a fairy descending from above the Nine Heavens, another moment the girl next door from his childhood, then she turned into a cold and noble princess, and upon another glance, she became a widow filled with myriad emotions.

“Lord Chen, it’s been a while.”

Su Ziyue, twisting her graceful figure, slowly approached Chen Yuan, blinked at him, and sat down across from him.

“Miss Su, perhaps you should conceal your divine skills first.”

Compared to their first meeting, Chen Yuan’s manner was no longer as nervous as before; over half a year, his demeanor had also become more refined.

At least, in front of Su Ziyue, a formidable person, he could maintain some composure.

Indeed, a formidable person.

Whether before or now, Su Ziyue’s aura in front of Chen Yuan was like the deep sea, profound and unfathomable.…, according to the requirements for official members of the Taoist Divine Palace she mentioned before.

At the very least, she was a powerhouse at the Heavenly Core Condensing Realm and likely not an ordinary existence even within the Core Realm.

“How dull.”

Su Ziyue gave Chen Yuan a glance, concealing and suppressing the charming power inherent in the Six Desires Immortal Scripture cultivation technique.

Compared to others, Su Ziyue was quite willing to tease this rather mature and calm young man, Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan smiled without saying much.

Su Ziyue poured herself a cup of tea, brought it to her lips, and while sipping, she sized up Chen Yuan with a look of surprise, making him feel somewhat uneasy.

Originally, Su Ziyue was willing to introduce Chen Yuan into the Taoist Divine Palace because of the guidance from the Heavenly Mechanism Plate, and she thought he was somewhat interesting.

Otherwise, with the strict and powerful standards of the Taoist Divine Palace, they would not typically admit a mere Martial Artist with Foundation Establishment Cultivation into their ranks.

At that time, Su Ziyue recognized that Chen Yuan had some talent, but it was just some talent, and with his Qi Fortune, he might achieve some success, but actually, she did not take it too seriously.

Such beings, there were quite a few among the reserve members of the Divine Palace.

It was merely a casual move.

Unexpectedly, the next news she heard about Chen Yuan was his entry into the Hidden Dragon List, an event Su Ziyue was somewhat prepared for, but she did not expect that afterwards, in a short period of time, Chen Yuan would breakthrough several realms, directly entering the top one hundred of the Hidden Dragon List.

At that point, Su Ziyue started to value Chen Yuan a bit more, and she mentioned his information to other official members of the Divine Palace, preparing to pay close attention to him.

However, she had been tied up recently, so she had not come to meet Chen Yuan.

By the time she finished her ongoing tasks, Chen Yuan had already made remarkable progress, placing in the top fifty of the Hidden Dragon List, his fame spreading throughout Qingzhou. Subsequently, the detailed news about Chen Yuan started appearing in her hands.

After discussing with several other members of the Divine Palace, she decided to meet Chen Yuan in person once more, lest other forces entice him away.

A talent in the top fifty of the Hidden Dragon List is valuable in any force.

Moreover, the emergence of Chen Yuan was rapid, and it seemed his talents had not yet been fully revealed, leading Su Ziyue to believe that he still had great potential for growth.

Worthy of being nurtured by the Divine Palace, and worth protecting his path.

Among all the reserve members of the Divine Palace, currently, only Chen Yuan was given such top-level importance.

But…

Their mutual involvement was too scarce; Su Ziyue had only helped him once and gifted him a bottle of Snow Jade Ointment, but hadn’t thoroughly investigated his recent history.

She didn’t know his loyalty to the Divine Palace and his character.

Now, it was time to deepen their cultivation…

Reach Profound Realm, plus being in the Qingzhou region, it’s not too late.

“Miss Su, what are you looking at?”

Chen Yuan took a covert sip of his tea, his expression undisturbed.

“Looking at you.”

Su Ziyue’s straightforwardness made Chen Yuan struggle to maintain his composed expression, as he responded faintly with an “Mm.”

Then, she continued:

“Who would have thought that a mere constable, in just over half a year, would reach this level, capable of rivaling any genius in the world?”

“Miss Su flatters me.”

“There’s no need for modesty. You are a clever person, and you must have guessed the purpose of my visit. Indeed, the talent and strength you have now demonstrated are worthy of the Taoist Divine Palace investing in your training, which is why I have taken time out of my busy schedule to meet with you here in Nanling Prefecture.”

Su Ziyue gently parted her lips, speaking softly.

Chen Yuan glanced at Su Ziyue. Ever since he had identified her, he had been aware of her purpose and had been waiting for this.

Initially, the Divine Palace had only paid him slight attention, but at that time, he was merely an arrest officer with Bone Refining Cultivation, which was perfectly normal.

Now, however, Chen Yuan had broken through to the Reach Profound realm, ranked among the top fifty on the Hidden Dragon List, and his fame shook Nanling. He was significant enough to be valued by any power.

His only slight worry was not knowing about the actual strength of the Divine Palace and what they intended by secretly expanding their power.

Was it a bluff?

If Su Ziyue were the only powerful member of the whole Divine Palace, wouldn’t he have been deceived?

Since stepping into the Gang Condensation Realm, he had been secretly investigating the Divine Palace but found no trace of such a force in the world, which greatly increased his concerns.

“How does the Divine Palace plan to train me?” Although he was far from having the status to speak as an equal, he had earned a degree of autonomy in discourse. He was entitled to ask this question.

Seeing Chen Yuan’s serious demeanor, Su Ziyue suddenly laughed:

“As I mentioned before, members of the Divine Palace are all equals. You won’t be given many Cultivation Resources, and if you want resources, you must trade something of your own in exchange.

We won’t expect anything in return in the future.

As for training, until you reach the Core Realm, formal members of the Divine Palace will help you fend off others twice for free, but as compensation, you will have to return the favor later.”

“In addition, the Divine Palace will also tilt some resources your way, which is one of the reasons for my visit.”

Chen Yuan tapped his fingers lightly on the table. It had to be said, the conditions offered by Su Ziyue weren’t high, especially compared to those of the Seven Killings Hall,

which had promised to find a Core Realm expert to guide his Cultivation.

But this arrangement gave him freedom, the most important freedom.

Nothing in the world comes for free, the supposed “free” had its price marked in secret. The more resources Chen Yuan received, the more he would have to repay manyfold in the future.

Thus, he outright rejected the Seven Killings Hall.

Thus, he was also reluctant to join the Zhang Xi.

Because he still had the option of the Divine Palace.

“Miss Su once mentioned that to become a formal member of the Divine Palace, one must contribute to the Palace and achieve a breakthrough to the Core Realm. May I know what kind of contribution is needed?” Chen Yuan changed the topic and asked.

Su Ziyue narrowed her eyes, seemingly hesitant, and did not immediately reply.

Chen Yuan was not in a hurry, quietly sipping his tea, waiting for Su Ziyue to be frank.

After a moment of silence, Su Ziyue asked in a serious tone:

“Have you heard of the Immortal Battle?”

Stirred inside, Chen Yuan’s eyebrows twitched imperceptibly and he said:

“I have heard a bit about it.”

“It must have been the master of the Ascending Immortal Tower in Nanling Prefecture who told you,” she said, asking yet sounding very certain.

Chen Yuan nodded, not denying it.

“Considering the talent and strength you have displayed… Several formal members of the Divine Palace, including myself, have decided to set the Ascending Immortal Fruit as your contribution test for joining the Divine Palace,

as long as you obtain the Ascending Immortal Fruit, even if you do not breakthrough to the Core Realm, we will still accept you into the Divine Palace. Of course, as compensation, someone will offer you something equivalent to the top-tier Spiritual Objects like the Ascending Immortal Fruit to exchange, which is definitely one of the top treasures in this world.”

Su Ziyue added one last sentence.

“Is Miss Su joking?” Chen Yuan couldn’t help but ask.

Previously, Ye Chenbai had made it very clear that throughout history, only the final victor could obtain the Ascending Immortal Fruit, meaning, he would need to surpass all the strongest below the Core Realm.

While Chen Yuan was confident in his abilities, he was not arrogant enough to think all the other heroes in the world were worthless.

The methods of those top Sect disciples, one could guess, were not somewhat simple.

“Do you think I am joking?” Su Ziyue laughed lightly and said:

“The contributions of other people before they became formal members of the Divine Palace were no smaller than this.”

Her implication was that everything was equal, even she had done the same initially.

“If I fail to obtain the Ascending Immortal Fruit, does that mean I cannot become a formal member?”

“This is just a test. If you fail it, there will be other tests. Not to hide from you, the last official member of the Divine Palace also faced the test of obtaining the Ascending Immortal Fruit,

but he ultimately fell short. After that, another test was sought for him…”
