Chapter 2464: Chapter 2484: Ladies and Gentlemen, My Young Master Invites You!

Qingye City was bustling with activity, home to a market specifically for cultivators, where all the items required by cultivators were for sale.

Lin Chen and his group walked through the market, browsing, buying, and eating along the way, everyone gaining a full harvest.

Chu Jiaxue surveyed the surrounding marketplace, her eyes filled with nostalgia, "It’s been a long time since I’ve gone shopping like this..."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Even though cultivation is important, you can’t just cultivate all the time. When it’s time to go out and take a walk, do so. With a comfortable heart and no worries, cultivation becomes easier to advance, and it’s less likely for mishaps to occur."

Yao Xuanji nodded in agreement, "Indeed, if one only engages in closed-door cultivation all the time, they’ll feel irritable and weary. However, if you go out for a walk and cultivate with a contented heart and mind, you truly do get twice the result with half the effort."

"Hey, speaking of which, my talent is far worse than Jia Xue’s. I’ve had the guidance of seniors, whereas Jia Xue relies solely on herself to comprehend and cultivate. We were promoted to Daluo at the same time, and now she’s left me far behind."

Chu Jia Xue laughed and consoled, "The nature of the cultivation techniques differ. Senior Lu’s technique is unique. With every promotion, you must refine all aspects to be utterly perfect before advancing, naturally taking up more time."

"Though the Only I am Supreme Ten Thousand Emperors Method is very domineering and allows for quick promotion, it also has its drawbacks. If Senior Lu’s technique reaches the later stages and is perfected, it may not be inferior to the Only I am Supreme Ten Thousand Emperors Method at all."

"What’s more, Qin Zheng’s relics contained a large number of special cultivation resources that complement the Only I am Supreme Ten Thousand Emperors Method, all of which he prepared for himself to recover his strength after rebirth. Now, they’re all mine, which is why I have been able to promote so quickly."

Yao Xuanji extended his hand to hook around Chu Jiaxue’s arm, laughing, "Jiaxue, you aim high, strive to be stronger than Lin Chen. If Lin Chen ever bullies us, you help us beat him up."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "There are so many of you, and each of you is not much weaker than I am, some even stronger. How could I bully you? Besides, would I have the heart to do so?"

While everyone was jesting, a gaze from the second floor of a nearby winehouse landed on them.

The owner of the gaze was a black-robed young man with a handsome face that was slightly pale, seemingly possessing a bit of the sickly young master’s temperament, yet his eyes emitted a cold, sinister energy.

"One man and six women, several of them outstanding in appearance. Who could this man be?"

A middle-aged man standing behind him scanned the group briefly and said calmly, "They bear no insignia on their clothes, so they’re definitely not disciples of the Blue God Sect. Recently, Lan Xinyu was promoted to Daluo Initial Immortal and is hosting a banquet. Many have come to congratulate. Perhaps they are loose cultivators from nearby... Does the young master have any thoughts?"

The black-robed young man’s gaze fell upon Chu Jiaxue’s face, then quickly retracted as he picked up the wine glass in front of him and sipped lightly, "Do we know who’s attending the event?"

The middle-aged man replied, "They’re mostly from neighboring sects around, along with some of their friends. Their strengths are not bad, but they’re not too formidable either; most are Daluo Ultimate Immortals, and if there are any Daluo Initial Immortals, they’re probably only low-grade."

The black-robed young man coldly stated, "They’re hosting a banquet to increase the influence of their sect, so why would they invite guests more powerful than the Blue God Sect? That would overshadow their own prestige, wouldn’t it?"

The black-robed young man downed the wine in one swig, set down the glass, and with a mocking look said, "Well, that’s good. It prevents any disruptions. This time, we will make the Blue God Sect lose all face!"

"There are a few days left before the banquet. Staying put would be boring. Let’s have some fun. Go find out about that group’s background. If they’re nobodies, then capture them all."

The middle-aged man hesitated slightly, "We’re quite close to the Blue God Sect here. Could we potentially disturb the snake by hitting the grass?"

The black-robed young man sneered, "A few loose cultivators disappearing won’t raise any alarms. Who would care? Just keep things quiet, and it’ll be fine, won’t it?"

"Yes!"

The middle-aged man answered respectfully, "I shall take care of it right away!"

...

"It’s getting dark; let’s head back."

"All right!"

Lin Chen and the women left Qingye City, preparing to return to the Blue God Sect. However, not far beyond a few hundred miles, they were stopped by someone.

The blocking middle-aged man spoke calmly, "My young master has extended an invitation to you all."

Lin Chen remained composed, "And who might your young master be?"

The middle-aged man coldly stated, "You’ll know when you get there."

Lin Chen frowned, "What if we choose not to go?"

The middle-aged man scoffed, "Either walk there willingly or I will capture you and take you there."

Lin Chen spoke calmly, showing no signs of intimidation, "Where is your young master then?"

"Not far from Qingye City."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen quickly understood, "You fixed your sights on us while we were strolling through Qingye City, right? That man who chatted with me earlier, he was also one of your people, wasn’t he? Trying to feel me out?"

Previously at the market, a man very enthusiastically struck up a conversation with Lin Chen at a stall; the whole interaction seemed somewhat abrupt.

Lin Chen was already a bit suspicious, and now, seeing someone stopping them without any restraint, everything clicked into place.

The middle-aged man sneered, "You’re quite astute..."
