Chapter 1189: 1193 Qingxuan Immortal Lord

Shen Long and Chu Buyu left their residence and arrived at the entrance of a three-story red pavilion, with a plaque reading "Profound Moon Pavilion".

Shen Long sent a Sound Transmission Talisman, and not long after, the door of the Profound Moon Pavilion opened, and Gongsun Ying emerged.

"Taoist Friend Qian, I heard from my brother that you are also at the Jiuyan marketplace. We were just about to contact you; we didn’t expect you to come over."

Gongsun Ying said politely, her gaze landing on Chu Buyu.

"Fairy Gongsun, this is my wife Chu Yun."

Shen Long introduced.

"So it’s Madam Chu. Please, both of you, come in and let’s chat inside."

Gongsun Ying said enthusiastically, inviting them into the Profound Moon Pavilion and closing the door.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu sat on chairs, with Gongsun Ying sitting in the main seat. She clapped her hands.

A young girl in a green dress with delicate features came out holding a tray, which held a green tea can and a set of exquisite tea utensils.

The girl in the green dress brewed tea in front of them, and quickly a pot of steaming Immortal Tea was ready.

She lifted the teapot and poured a cup for each of the three.

The tea was golden in color, exuding a strong floral fragrance.

Shen Long picked up his teacup, took a sip, and felt as if he had drunk a sip of nectar.

He could clearly feel a faint stream of soul power flowing into his Sea of Souls, enhancing his Divine Soul.

"Not bad, great tea!"

Shen Long praised.

"Fairy Gongsun, this Immortal Puppet of yours is quite good, though the joint at the calf is a bit unnatural, it doesn’t affect the puppet’s function."

Chu Buyu commented.

Surprise flashed in Gongsun Ying’s beautiful eyes as she said, "Madam Chu is also an Immortal Puppeteer?"

The Immortal Puppet is a special type of puppet that looks much like a cultivator, making it hard to distinguish as a puppet, and possesses the strength of an Immortal.

Chu Buyu nodded: "I have some knowledge of puppetry and could exchange ideas with Fairy Gongsun."

Gongsun Ying spoke about the technique of puppetry, discussing everything from choosing puppet materials to the refining process, and Chu Buyu was able to build on these ideas.

Shen Long did not interject, quietly savoring the tea.

After more than an hour, admiration emerged on Gongsun Ying’s face, and she said: "I didn’t expect Madam Chu to have such high accomplishments in puppetry, I’ve learned a lot."

"Fairy Gongsun over-praises me, it was just an exchange. Many of your ideas were new to me and very enlightening."

Chu Buyu smiled.

She was speaking from the heart; Gongsun Ying was proficient in the art of puppetry with many creative ideas, greatly benefiting Chu Buyu.

"It was just an exchange."

Gongsun Ying shifted her tone, her gaze falling onto Shen Long and asked: "Taoist Friend Qian, sorry for getting too carried away with your wife in the conversation."

"It’s alright, my wife rarely finds others she can talk with so delightfully. Fairy Gongsun, I wish to inquire about something. Do you have any information about the Essence Blood and True Spirit Core of a Golden Immortal Realm True Spirit Devouring Immortal Cicada?"

Shen Long brought up the main topic.

"No, but I do possess a True Spirit Core of a Golden Immortal Realm Gold Devouring Bug."

Gongsun Ying took out an exquisite golden jade box, opened it, and a golden Crystal Core the size of a fist came into view.

"A True Spirit Core of a Gold Devouring Bug? What does Fairy Gongsun wish to exchange it for?"

Shen Long asked.

He wasn’t genuinely interested but pretended as if he were.

"If Taoist Friend Qian likes it, I’ll give it to you! If it weren’t for you, the thief might have disrupted my minor celestial tribulation, which would have been quite troublesome."

Gongsun Ying said with a smile, handing the golden jade box to Shen Long.

Shen Long did not refuse and accepted the True Spirit Core.

Gongsun Ying began chatting with Shen Long and learned that he was a Dao Pill Alchemist, so she asked: "Taoist Friend Qian, can you refine Fourth Grade Dao Pills?"

The lowest Dao Pills taken by Golden Immortal cultivators are also of Fourth Grade, as Dao Pills below Fourth Grade are ineffective.

"Not yet. Fairy Gongsun should be aware that the higher the grade of a Dao Pill, the more challenging it is to refine."

Shen Long shook his head.

"That’s true, but I’ve heard that possessing a Second Rank Immortal Flame increases the likelihood of successfully refining Dao Pills."

Gongsun Ying remarked.

"Second Rank Immortal Flames are extremely rare, even on the Skyfire Continent."

Shen Long smiled indifferently.

"That’s true, but if you can enlist Celestial Lord Qingxuan to divinate an opportunity for you, and if there’s a great fortune, a Second Rank Immortal Flame might be attainable. I know a Taoist friend who obtained a Second Rank Immortal Flame in this manner."

Gongsun Ying explained.

"Celestial Lord Qingxuan? What is this person’s background?"

Shen Long asked with full curiosity.

"Celestial Lord Qingxuan is a Taiyi Golden Immortal, proficient in divination, but he is from another celestial domain, just passing through the Skyfire Continent. It’s not surprising that Taoist Friend Qian hasn’t heard of him. However, to request divination from Celestial Lord Qingxuan, one must possess the Qingxuan Order, a special token issued by Celestial Lord Qingxuan."

Gongsun Ying explained slowly.

Shen Long suddenly realized, and after they chatted for over an hour, they took their leave.

Back at their residence, Shen Long flipped his right hand, and a square-shaped green token appeared in his hand.

The token had the characters "Qingxuan" engraved on the front and floral patterns on the back.

He had obtained this Qingxuan Order long ago and was unsure of its origin.

"Could this Qingxuan Order really be issued by Celestial Lord Qingxuan?"

Chu Buyu exclaimed in surprise.

"Not sure, better to have someone check it out. Hopefully, this is indeed the Qingxuan Order issued by Celestial Lord Qingxuan."

Shen Long showed an expectant look on his face.

······

A tranquil manor with a plaque reading "Qingxuan Garden".

A tall and thin elder in a green robe and a well-rounded lady in a purple dress sat in a green stone pavilion, sipping tea and chatting.

"Madam Han, this journey is quite dangerous, be extra cautious."

The elder in the green robe advised.

Celestial Lord Qingxuan, Taiyi Golden Immortal Early Stage.

"Thank you for the warning, Taoist Friend Xu. I will be extra careful; I won’t disturb you any further. I’ll take my leave now."

The lady in the purple dress made a slight bow and got up to leave.

A young girl in a green dress with a delicate face entered and reported: "Master, Senior Wang wishes to see you."

"Is there no progress on that matter?"

Celestial Lord Qingxuan asked with a frown.

"Not yet, but as soon as there is any progress, I will immediately inform Master."

The girl in the green dress replied respectfully.

"Jiang Qing, postpone the meeting with Taoist Friend Wang! I won’t see any guests these days; I’m really not in the mood."

Celestial Lord Qingxuan instructed.

"Understood, Master. I will immediately send a message to Senior Wang to postpone the meeting by half a month."

Jiang Qing suggested.

Celestial Lord Qingxuan nodded and instructed: "Your senior brother is out gathering information; you shouldn’t be idle, keep an eye out and hope we don’t get preempted."

"Yes, disciple will follow orders."

Jiang Qing agreed wholeheartedly and retreated.

······

Seven days passed quickly, and Shen Long and Chu Buyu were strolling leisurely through the streets.

As they passed by an intersection, Situ Lei approached from the opposite direction.

"Taoist Friend Qian, who is this?"

Situ Lei smiled slightly, his gaze falling on Chu Buyu.

"I am Chu Yun, my husband has mentioned Taoist Friend Situ to me."

Chu Buyu gracefully curtsied and introduced herself.
