Chapter 1053: 962 free agent

Chu Rong walked to the ground, Shen Long and Chu Buyu also descended.

She recalled the red giant lion and bowed deeply toward Jinyan Hall, saying, "Disciple Chu Rong has urgent matters to request an audience with Master Uncle Chen."

"Speak your business!"

A gentle male voice emanated from Jinyan Hall, and a terrifying divine sense swept past Shen Long and Chu Buyu.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu were startled in their hearts and promptly stood straight.

"There are two Ascenders who landed on the Flying Immortal Platform of Golden Swallow Island, who wish to choose to be free, intending to venture out and forge their own path; disciple has brought them here to report."

Chu Rong said.

"Since they’ve chosen to be free, then follow the rules accordingly! Send them off the island, and how much they can achieve in the world will be up to their own abilities."

The man’s voice was calm.

"We may regret this decision after a while and wish to join the Tianyue Sect, so we ask that Senior Chen be accommodating at that time and allow us to join."

Shen Long bowed deeply, speaking politely.

"Hmph, what do you think our Tianyue Sect is? A place you can join whenever you wish? You’ve been granted the opportunity, if you don’t cherish it, so be it. Alright, Master Nephew Chu, arrange for someone to escort them off the island!"

The man’s voice was indifferent.

"Yes, Master Uncle Chen."

Chu Rong readily agreed.

She took out a palm-sized golden conch, which shimmered with spiritual light—a Top Grade Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasure.

She injected a spell into it, and a silver bell-like female voice rang out: "Senior Sister Chu, I plan to go to the marketplace to purchase some resources. Do you need anything? I can buy it for you."

"Fairy Ye, are you setting out now?"

Chu Rong asked.

"Yes! What’s the matter?"

The woman asked.

"It’s nothing, I’ll talk to you at your place!"

Chu Rong said, putting away the golden conch, then she unleashed the red giant lion and climbed aboard, followed closely by Shen Long and Chu Buyu.

The red giant lion soared into the sky, flying toward the southern part of the island.

Before long, the red giant lion stopped above a high peak with steep mountain terrain. At the base of the mountain stood a hundred-foot-tall green stone stele, on which the three golden characters "Qingdie Peak" were written.

The upper half of the mountain was enveloped in a veil of green fog, obscuring the view within. Chu Rong dispatched a Sound Transmission Talisman.

Soon after, a beautiful girl in green clothing, who possessed the cultivation of the True Immortal Middle Stage, flew out from within.

"Senior Sister Chu, who might these two be?"

The green-clad girl was slightly taken aback, her gaze landing on Shen Long and Chu Buyu.

"They are Ascenders, who have chosen to be free. Master Uncle Chen has instructed me to send them off the island. Fairy Ye, since you are heading to the marketplace, could you take them with you on your way? There’s no need to look after them once you’re at the marketplace."

Chu Rong spoke.

"I am Shen Long, and this is my wife Chu Buyu. We are in Fairy Ye’s debt, and here is a small token of our appreciation; we hope Fairy Ye will not disdain it."

Shen Long took out a yellow storage bracelet and handed it to the green-clad girl with both hands.

They were very weak now, and could only try to get in the good graces of other cultivators.

"I am Ye Qingyu, and I happened to be heading to the marketplace on an errand; I will take you there!"

The green-clad girl stated her name and accepted the yellow storage bracelet.

With a flick of her wrist, a beam of green light flew out from the Spirit Beast Bracelet, transforming into a giant green phoenix.

"True Spirit Green Phoenix! Fairy Ye, you are truly skilled."

Shen Long praised, his face revealing an envious expression.

"It’s a Green Phoenix; it hasn’t cultivated into a True Spirit yet, but it’s still very convenient for travel,"

Ye Qingyu introduced as she walked onto the back of the Green Phoenix.

"Madame Chu, we shall part ways here."

Shen Long said with a fist salute, joining Chu Buyu on the back of the Green Phoenix.

The Green Phoenix let out a clear and loud bird cry, its wings lightly fluttered, stirring up a gale, soaring into the high skies.

Before long, the Green Phoenix had left Golden Swallow Island.

"Taoist Friend Shen, Fairy Chu, do you have any plans for the future? I have quite a few acquaintances in the marketplace, and I can introduce some jobs to you."

Ye Qingyu offered enthusiastically.

"Jobs? Fairy Ye, what kind of jobs?"

Shen Long was slightly taken aback.

"There are many types, such as escorting, demon hunting, plant cultivation, alchemy, artifact refining, talisman crafting, and so on. Taoist Friend Shen, you are an alchemist, I can help you find a job in alchemy. You could refine some Eighth Rank Elixirs to earn resources,"

Ye Qingyu said.

"How did Fairy Ye know I’m an alchemist? Can refining Eighth Rank Elixirs really earn Immortal Yuan Stones? What is your relationship with the shopkeeper of the Elixir Shop, Fairy Ye?"

Shen Long asked curiously.

"There’s a fragrance of herbs about you, my sister has it too; it’s a scent unique to alchemists, lingering for a long time. While refining Eighth Rank Elixirs won’t earn Immortal Yuan Stones, it can broaden your social network, and you can get to know more fellow cultivators. You haven’t yet grasped any laws, so you need to spend time on cultivation, start with getting a foothold into Law Cultivation. That Elixir Shop is run by our Ye Family,"

Ye Qingyu explained slowly. Her tone changed as she seemed to think of something, and said, "If you find yourselves struggling on your own, I can recommend that you join the Tianyue Sect. Our Sect does value Ascenders highly, and just between us, the ancestors of our Ye Family were also Ascenders from The Lower Realm."

"We have also had such thoughts. If Fairy Ye doesn’t mind, I can help your family’s Elixir Shop with alchemy."

Shen Long said sincerely.

He wanted to leverage the power of the Ye Family to expand his social network, meet more True Immortals, and gather more information, as well as to better integrate into the Glazed Sea Domain.

"Don’t worry about it. Here, these two vials of Soul Cleansing Pills are for you. You must take them to wash away the aura of The Lower Realm, or the minor tribulations will come prematurely,"

Ye Qingyu took out two green porcelain vials and handed them to Shen Long.

Life as a Loose Immortal is tough; she hoped to win over Shen Long and Chu Buyu.

Ascenders are proud at heart, and many choose to be free spirits. After enduring hardship for a while, those who wish to rejoin the Tianyue Sect just need to pass the assessment, and the Sect would admit them again.

So she placed Shen Long in her family’s Elixir Shop to facilitate winning over Shen Long and Chu Buyu.

"Thank you, Fairy Ye."

Shen Long expressed his gratitude and accepted the two porcelain vials.

They inquired about various situations in the Glazed Sea Domain, and Ye Qingyu answered everything she knew generously.

These matters weren’t secrets; sooner or later, Shen Long and Chu Buyu would come to know of them, so there was no need for Ye Qingyu to hide anything.

"Your strengths are too weak, and unless necessary, I advise you not to leave the marketplace. The Cultivation Realm is not very peaceful; even Golden Immortals can be attacked when they go out, and countless True Immortals have gone missing,"

Ye Qingyu warned them.

The more chaotic the outside world is, the rarer the resources become, and the higher the chance that Shen Long and Chu Buyu would join the Tianyue Sect.

"Thank you for the reminder, Fairy Ye."

Shen Long thanked her again. He remembered something and asked, "Fairy Ye, with your strength, it wouldn’t be difficult to cultivate the Green Phoenix into a True Spirit, right? We hardly get to see True Spirits in The Lower Realm; there should be more in the Immortal Realm, correct?"

"There are indeed more True Spirits in the Immortal Realm, but it’s still not easy to cultivate one. The Green Phoenix has taken eight types of Miracle Elixirs to assist in its cultivation into a True Spirit, but it has yet to succeed in becoming one. With its realm increasing, the difficulty of becoming a True Spirit grows even more,"

Ye Qingyu sighed, her face filled with concern.
