Is Yang Lingxi willing? Of course she is! After all, the person coming is said to be a Tier Five Sorcerer. It feels like a drowning person grabbing onto a lifebuoy.

How could such a good thing fall into her lap? Although Yu Shangzhen explained a bit, Yang Lingxi had her doubts, but no matter what, this opportunity cannot be missed...

He Kao didn't know about this interruption.

Huang Xiaopang was very excited. Saying a few rushed words during the day felt quite unsatisfying; at night, he wanted to drag him for beer and chat, sharing recent cultivation insights with Director Meng.

He Kao felt a bit embarrassed because many colleagues in the department were still working overtime, and Manager Gao hadn't left. Although their group's task had been completed, they should at least put up an appearance and linger for a bit.

Going for a beer at five-thirty and saying it so loudly? Where to go, anyway? Let's go to the pedestrian street near Sesame Apartment. That place is suitable for drinking and bullshitting.

He hadn't walked far from the office building when he suddenly saw a graceful silhouette ahead, and He Kao tentatively shouted: "Wei Luo!"

The person turned around, and sure enough, it was the girl he had encountered twice. He was preparing to take the time to find her now that she was back from abroad. Last time, he saw her badge, indicating she worked at a company nearby.

Wei Luo asked, somewhat puzzled: "Do you know me?"

Well then, she even pretended not to know.

The second meeting was on the street opposite the company, where He Kao was disguised, so naturally, she wouldn't recognize him.

But the first meeting was when He Kao sent a classmate to the high-speed rail station, where he appeared as his real self, not even wearing a mask. However, considering that Tier Five Wanderers often have a special condition, sometimes not knowing the way, let alone people.

He Kao introduced himself: "I'm He Kao, once..."

Before he could finish, Wei Luo softly exclaimed: "Oh, you're He Kao? I've already heard about you. After coming to Qi Yuan, I thought about finding you someday."

He Kao was stunned: "You're looking for me?"

Wei Luo smiled somewhat awkwardly: "Someone told me that if I come to Qi Yuan, finding you can take care of food and accommodation. But I don't need to bother anyone, and I've found a job, so I wasn't in a hurry."

Huang Xiaopang, watching with wide eyes, waved a hand and said: "What are you two talking about? Did you not see someone here… Xiao Kao, who's this beauty?"

He Kao quickly introduced: "This is my colleague Huang Si, nicknamed Xiaopang... This young lady is a child of an elder, recently working in Qi Yuan, and the elder asked me to take care of her if we met; didn't expect to see her today."

Wei Luo spoke quite directly, asking: "I heard you'll treat me to dinner, is that true?"

He Kao laughed: "Of course, anytime... Why not today?"

Wei Luo nodded happily: "Sure!"

He Kao turned his head: "Xiaopang, I have something on suddenly. Next time for drinks."

Xiaopang leaned toward He Kao's ear and said: "You're ditching friends for a girl!"

He Kao whispered back: "Aren't you talking about yourself?"

Xiaopang turned away quickly, and He Kao reminded from behind: "You're not going for dinner yourself?"

Xiaopang waved his hand: "I'm full, heading back to work!"

He Kao got rid of Xiaopang mainly because what they wanted to discuss with Wei Luo wasn't suitable for Xiaopang to overhear. Also, mentioning ditching friends, Xiaopang himself was more typical, not being seen in the mornings recently.

Turning back, He Kao tried to appear as the friendly big brother, smiling and asking: "Xiaowei, what would you like to eat?"

Wei Luo replied: "I'm not Xiaowei; back home, they called me Xiaoluo."

He Kao: "Then, Xiaoluo, what would you like to eat?"

If Xiaopang were still here, he would feel this scene was like the Big Bad Wolf tricking Little Red Riding Hood. But He Kao himself wouldn't dare think that way; Wei Luo was a Tier Five Wanderer among Lingxi People, who would dare treat her like a regular girl.

Wei Luo: "We can go somewhere with lots of restaurants and pick one we like."

He Kao: "Sure, I know a nearby pedestrian street full of various restaurants." Then, seemingly remembering something, he corrected, "If you prefer a specific dish, I can also recommend a better place."

Wei Luo: "A pedestrian street full of restaurants? Sounds good, let's go there."

The pedestrian street's characteristic is a variety of offerings, from all over the place, but generally not high-end with reasonable prices.

So, He Kao initially proposed the pedestrian street, then suggested another place, meaning a high-end restaurant, but unexpectedly, Wei Luo was interested in the pedestrian street.

He Kao eventually ended up at the pedestrian street near Sesame Apartment, just with Wei Luo instead of Xiaopang. Wei Luo appeared a bit dazed and cute, with curious big eyes, wanting to look at everything.

This girl was interesting; she encountered He Kao on the street, acted like she didn't know him, but followed when he introduced himself.

The person leading her was a grown guy; what if he fooled her?

Accompanying her half the street, He Kao finally asked: "Xiaoluo, anything catching your interest?"

Wei Luo stopped right in front of a snack shop, pointed casually, and said: "How about this place?"

Lifting his eyes, he saw they sold spicy hot soup, not a local specialty but a northern neighboring province's specialty snack, usually breakfast, but on the pedestrian street, as long as there are customers, it's open at night too.

He Kao was initially prepared for a big spend, but Wei Luo chose the pedestrian street, saving him money, but didn't expect it to be so thrifty.

Just this? Splurging wouldn't cost more than a hundred here!

He Kao: "This is merely a snack, usually breakfast; are you sure? Ahead, there's a specialty teppanyaki place; it's pretty good." That's the most expensive restaurant on the street he recommended.

Wei Luo: "Yes, this one; I've smelled it already; it seems tasty."

Then just go with her choice. They entered the spicy hot soup shop and ordered a spicy hot soup with signature scallion pancakes and six beef pan-fried dumplings, totaling only forty-one yuan via QR code.

After sitting down, He Kao finally talked business, stirring the spicy hot soup with a spoon while asking: "Xiaoluo, how did you know my name?"

Wei Luo curiously looked at him: "You didn't know yourself? You've become the most famous Guest of Fate among today's Magic Sects, even I've heard about you back home."

He Kao: "Where's your home?"

Wei Luo: "Zhouyuan Province, Han Ning City, Shanping County."

He Kao was startled and quickly asked, "Phoenix Tail Town?"

Wei Luo nodded and said, "Exactly Phoenix Tail Town."

He Kao: "Which village are you from?"

Wei Luo: "I'm from Phoenix Tail Town, the township government is there, it's a large village... By the way, I heard you know my mentor, have you seen him recently?"

He Kao: "I saw him some time ago, but he said he had to leave for something. Before he left, he asked me to tell you, if I see you in Qi Yuan, there's no need to look for him, just train in the area.

He also asked me to look out for you if you need anything."

Wei Luo smiled and said, "Thank you! Actually, I've known all along that my mentor wants me to train here. Did you invite me to a meal because of his request?"

He Kao: "Once we've met we're friends, buying you a meal is nothing."

Wei Luo playfully said, "My mentor said you would cover meals and accommodation."

He Kao pondered for half a second and replied with certainty, "That would be no problem either."

Wei Luo: "Did you receive some benefits from him?"

He Kao: "He has always taken care of me since I was young, and recently he gave me a lot of good things, like ninety-nine Jade Phoenix Tree Seeds of twenty-three years old.

Even without these, you are his disciple, it is only right to look out for you."

Wei Luo laughed happily, "He was just joking, you don't have to take it seriously... oh, this spicy soup is delicious, and the scallion pancake too."

He Kao also laughed, "So you like these kinds of food? That's easy to provide for!"

Wei Luo shyly said, "I just feel that many things in the mortal world have special flavors. This bowl of spicy soup, for example, gives a taste of many places, environments, and different people's thoughts and intentions."

Fortunately, Old Man Jiang had given He Kao the complete Seven Great Magic Sects' teachings, so this statement he barely understood.

Wei Luo meant, roughly, where the various ingredients of the spicy soup come from, how they grew and the environment, and what thoughts and considerations people had while processing them, what intentions they put.....

Amazing!

But He Kao had another focus, and he asked somewhat puzzled, "Mortal world? Are you a fairy descended from heaven?"

Wei Luo shook her head and said, "Of course not! Most of my years have been spent cultivating in the Flower Shocking Grotto Heaven, where there aren't many things as tasty, nor do the flowers and plants have such rich flavors."

He Kao: "I've only seen Floral Shocking Platform on the map, it's a village, what kind of place is Flower Shocking Grotto Heaven?"

Wei Luo: "Don't you know? Beyond Phoenix Tail Town into the mountains, there are seven villages, known anciently as the Seven Phoenix Tails. Each of the Seven Great Magic Sects has a Blessed Land Grotto Heaven, and the Ancestral Hall is inside them.

Our Lingxi Sect's Ancestral Hall is in the Floral Shocking Platform's Flower Shocking Grotto Heaven. Flower Shocking Grotto Heaven is huge, larger than all Phoenix Tail Town but not many people are there, it's quite dull..."

These secrets, Old Man Jiang hadn't told He Kao. But with just a bowl of spicy soup, he'd learned from Wei Luo that the Seven Great Magic Sects each have a Blessed Land Grotto Heaven, which are—

Lingxi Sect's Flower Shocking Grotto Heaven

Observing Body Sect's Pijing Grotto Heaven

Micro Realm Sect's Book Observation Grotto Heaven

Heart Plate Sect's Feather Realm Grotto Heaven

Alchemy Sect's Immortal Pot Grotto Heaven

Qi Observation Sect's Cloud Ascension Grotto Heaven

Xingshen Sect's Fengyu Grotto Heaven

He Kao, at least a new youth in the information age, had not read numerous Xianxia novels in vain, so he could grasp the concept of Blessed Land Grotto Heaven. He didn't expect there really were such places in the world.

He Kao couldn't help but be interested and found out more from Wei Luo.

For example, in a few days, Qian Guran is going to the Sect Ancestral Hall, where he first has to reach Cai Ping Village to register in the Ancestral Hall, climb over mountains to reach Cloud Ascension Plateau, and then enter Cloud Ascension Grotto Heaven...

Currently, there is a shortcut, simply taking a car through Cai Ping Village to Phoenix Tail Town, then east from Phoenix Tail Town through four tunnels to reach Cloud Ascension Plateau Village.

But according to the Magic Sect tradition, the first time going to the Ancestral Hall, Qian Guran must take the ancient mountain path that generations of predecessors walked.

He Kao asked the most pressing question: "I recently heard that twelve hundred years ago, there was also a Hidden Moth Lineage in the Magic Sect, does the Hidden Moth Sect have a Blessed Land Grotto Heaven?"

Wei Luo, tearing a scallion pancake by hand, looked at him and said: "I heard your father was also a Hidden Moth twenty years ago, no wonder you're interested in this.

Coincidentally, I once asked my mentor, and he said it's a Magic Sect mystery."

He Kao: "A mystery?"

Wei Luo: "Yes, a mystery, because nobody knows the answer. It stands to reason that if all the Seven Great Magic Sects have one, Hidden Moth Sect should as well, but there's no record of Hidden Moth Sect holding a Grotto Heaven, no clues can be found.

Even with the chaos of Yin Niang and the Woodcutter, some information should have been passed down, but likely there really isn't one. Otherwise, so many predecessors over the years would've found some hints.

Additionally, the title Seven Phoenix Tails was around before the chaos of Yin Niang, why not call it Eight Phoenix Tails? They could've included Floating Colors Platform, making it eight!

It might be that the Hidden Moth Sect does not have a Grotto Heaven, and Seven Phoenix Tails refers to the seven Grotto Heavens.

My mentor speculated that while the Seven Great Magic Sects each have a Grotto Heaven, the Hidden Moth Sect possesses the Hidden Moth object. What exactly is going on, only the true Hidden Moth would know."

The true Hidden Moth would know? He Kao is the first "True Moth" in twelve hundred years, but he can swear he truly knows nothing! So, the Magic Sect has such secrets, no wonder some people keep their eyes on the Hidden Moth.
