The Arrogant Immortal
Chapter 316 - 315 Unexpected

Chapter 316: Chapter 315 Unexpected

Lord Guangcheng knew some things and had a faint suspicion in his heart.

For example, the sea beast meat that old man Yan had given him last time.

Divinity Transformation sea beasts were not common in the Cultivation World.

Not long ago, turmoil erupted in the Southeast Sea, allegedly caused by three Divinity Transformation beings attacking the Ao Family’s island. Coincidentally, old man Yan and his two companions had disappeared for a while, and when they returned, they were suddenly flush with wealth...

The fall of a Divinity Transformation being was quite shocking.

These consecutive falls of Divinity Transformation beings, occurring in such short intervals, made perceptive individuals vaguely aware that something big seemed to be about to happen in the Cultivation World.

There was an overwhelming sense of a storm approaching.

Meanwhile, Xie Jiuniang stepped onto the Broken Sword, flying away from Lord Guangcheng’s peak at a leisurely pace.

When she next appeared before others, her Golden Core fifth level cultivation was on bright display.

She had initially intended to conceal it, but since she had broken through right under everyone’s noses, there was no need to hide it anymore.

She had originally hidden her cultivation because she was afraid of exposing her identity as the Child of Destiny.

Now, it was no longer a secret.

Those who should know already did, and the original purpose of hiding it was no longer necessary.

Perhaps the current situation was exactly the opposite of what it had been initially.

Being low-key could no longer solve the dangers associated with her, while her fast cultivation pace and the display of her astounding talent and methods made others wary of her.

Moreover, she had too many desirable things about her, which attracted undue attention.

The reason she was still safe might be because she was in the Sect.

Therefore, Xie Jiuniang left in a carefree manner.

Everyone guarding outside saw her!

A flurry of Sound Transmission Talismans flew around in chaos.

"My god, is this the fifth level of Golden Core? How long has it been, I’ve never seen anyone cultivate this fast."

"An epiphany that led to three levels rising?!"

"Why couldn’t it be me, I’m so envious."

"People should not compare themselves to others, the more you compare, the more you feel like a waste."

"..."

Jian Lingyan picked out some of these discussions to tell Xie Jiuniang, the person involved.

Xie Jiuniang looked up at the sky with a small sad face and said, "These people are exaggerating; I didn’t rise three levels."

"That’s right, it was only a promotion of two levels."

Jian Lingyan immediately agreed.

This was leading the dog-owner’s life, leaving her no path to tread.

Back at Zhengyang Peak.

Xuanyuan You was as much at home here as in his own place, and the first thing he did was to run to the orchard to find Dashan, successfully buying five jars of Monkey Wine in the name of Xie Jiuniang.

All were suitable for him to drink.

Compared to cultivating with Spiritual Liquid, Xuanyuan You preferred drinking Monkey Wine, which was not less effective than the liquid.

The Sword Spirit ratted him out, "Master, Xuanyuan You is buying wine using your name."

"It’s a trivial matter."

"Aren’t you angry?"

"Is this also worth getting angry about?"

"Alright then, I’m going too." In the next moment, the Broken Sword whooshed away.

When it came back, it wobbled on its sword body and was carrying a large jar of wine, which it placed in a corner of the cave abode.

Xie Jiuniang wondered what this guy needed the wine for.

A Broken Sword could not drink.

Soon enough, she discovered what the Broken Sword intended to do.

It actually opened a jar of Monkey Wine and poured it into the corner’s Spiritual Jade Pot. Then, the Broken Sword began to soak in the wine, leisurely and comfortably enjoying itself.

"This wine is still too little; I’ll go get another jar."

With that, the Broken Sword left with a swoosh.

Upon return, two urns were mounted on the sword body, sequentially pouring wine into the Spiritual Jade Pot.

The wine in the Spiritual Jade Pot filled it up to eight parts full, just right.

This Spiritual Jade Pot was initially brought out by Xie Jiuniang to plant the Enlightenment Tea Tree. Later, realizing it was too small, she temporarily switched to using Spirit Stones. Thus, the pot was tossed into a corner.

It just so happened to be used by Broken Sword as a bath basin.

Xie Jiuniang couldn’t help but mock in a sardonic tone after watching Broken Sword’s extravagant operation, "Little Jianjian, you’re living large now, using Monkey Wine for your bath."

"Not at all, just basking in the owner’s generosity."

Jian Lingyan swayed leisurely in the wine, thoroughly enjoying himself.

Xie Jiuniang felt a surge in her heart.

At this moment, Xuanyuan You stepped in cheerfully. Sniffing the rich aroma of wine in the cavern, he soon discovered the Broken Sword in the Spiritual Jade Pot, "Wow, wow, wow, Little Profiteer is so rich, using Monkey Wine to clean a sword."

Xie Jiuniang, "..."

God damn it, cleaning a sword, what does that have to do with her?

Xuanyuan You yearned openly, "Twenty-one thousand Spirit Stones for one sword wash. When can I, like Little Profiteer, use Monkey Wine to wash my little hammer?"

"Let’s be clear here."

It didn’t take long for Xie Jiuniang to understand the whole story.

The damn thing had used her name to keep tabs at Dashan, and it was also recorded under her name.

Getting a bit too bold, aren’t you?

Jian Lingyan had been soaking in high spirits, loving the scent of the wine far more than water, but suddenly he sensed a dangerous gaze. The sword trembled involuntarily.

It finally caught the sinister look in its owner’s eyes.

With a whoosh, Broken Sword flew out of the bath basin!

Just as Broken Sword attempted to exit the cavern.

Suddenly, a wooden stick came crashing down!

Smack!

The sword body was struck squarely.

Then, Broken Sword crashed onto the stone slabs, motionless. It thought smugly: Better to lie flat and take the mockery than to fly up and be beaten—after all, I’ve already reaped the benefits.

Xuanyuan You’s mouth twitched, "What’s with this sword?"

"Playing dead, being a rascal," Xie Jiuniang responded irritably. "If you don’t watch it for a moment, it’ll make trouble, and never the same way twice."

Truly a troublemaker.

Even more so than her, its master.

Xuanyuan You found it amusing and squatted in front of Broken Sword. Then, communicating through the contract’s Artifact Spirit in his little hammer, he conversed with Broken Sword without any barriers.

Xie Jiuniang didn’t feel like dealing with them.

She took out a Sound Transmission Talisman and contacted Bai Mudan.

Bai Mudan promptly arrived upon receiving Xie Jiuniang’s message. Initially wanting to say something, she saw Xuanyuan You was present and restrained herself, simply handing a Jade Slip to Xie Jiuniang.

Then, Bai Mudan made her exit.

Xie Jiuniang inspected the Jade Slip with her Divine Sense.

It contained information about Yunmu City.

About the marriage proposal, just as Xuanyuan You had mentioned earlier, the Xie Family didn’t accept the Lin Family’s proposal.

The message on the Jade Slip was more detailed than what Xuanyuan You had conveyed. It came from Old He, who hadn’t seen it himself but described the abnormalities at the City Lord Residence in Yunmu City on that day.

The patriarch of the Lin Family came to propose that day.

The details were unclear, but there was a powerful Divinity Transformation aura emanating from the City Lord Residence. Later, another surge of Divinity Transformation pressure appeared as if two Divinity Transformations were contending against each other.

Old He suggested that the first wave of Divinity Transformation pressure belonged to the Lin Family patriarch, and the subsequent one likely came from the Xie Family, as it clearly aided the Xie Family.

This incident caused an uproar in Yunmu City that day.

It wasn’t just because the Xie Family rejected the proposal but also because it turned out the Xie Family actually had a Divinity Transformation, to the shock of many. Everyone had always thought that the Xie Family was without a Divinity Transformation.

Xie Jiuniang hadn’t witnessed it personally.

However, she could imagine the scene that day from the inscriptions between the lines.
