After Qin Yuehan left.

Lv Zhengying shook his head and said, "Shen Xuan, you're really pushing Lady Qin to the edge!"

Shen Xuan was a bit puzzled.

"Please enlighten me, Elder Lv!"

"Sect rules are on the surface; there are exceptions to all things!"

Lv Zhengying pondered and said, "If True Master Yang is willing to exert effort, then it's no problem."

"The question is, why would True Master Yang step forward for you, a mere loose cultivator?"

Shen Xuan understood.

Being neither kin nor acquaintance, when asking for help, an equivalent exchange is necessary.

Even if True Master Yang helps due to Qin Yuehan's request.

Qin Yuehan would still have to repay the favor.

"The matter is as it is, just wait for news!"

Lv Zhengying took his leave and returned.

In Cold Moon Pavilion, only Shen Xuan was left.

"If I can obtain the inheritance of the Divine Hidden Sea Technique, paying some price is worth it."

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

All of his talent and techniques are water attributes.

Highly compatible with the Divine Hidden Sea Technique.

If he were to change his cultivation technique.

It's not that he lacks other good inherited techniques.

Even if he had them.

He doesn't have the time and energy to switch.

He's already eighty-five years old.

He can't afford to waste any more time!

As for whether he can join Cyan Cloud Sect.

If he can obtain the inheritance of the Divine Hidden Sea Technique, it won't be that important.

With his current strength and skills, he can survive anywhere.

And he would be much better off than an ordinary Foundation Establishment loose cultivator.

The reason is simple.

His strength surpasses most in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

Even when facing the late stage of Foundation Establishment, he has the power to fight.

Strength is the fundamental factor that determines a cultivator's treatment.

Many Foundation Establishment loose cultivators settle in Immortal Cities, making a living with various cultivation techniques, staying relatively independent, and free from major influences.

However, this independence is conditional.

First, you must at least have one impressive cultivation skill, to earn spirit stones for living and cultivation.

Second, so-called independence still requires watching the expressions of major influences, maneuvering with anyone around, daring not to offend anyone.

Finally, you ultimately need a backing.

Without support, without backing, there's no confidence.

When conflicts arise, without cultivation influences backing, it's easy to be bullied or even forcibly plundered.

But for Shen Xuan, none of this is a problem.

He's alone, outstanding in strength, able to live anywhere without having to mind others.

If he can't join Cyan Cloud Sect, Shen Xuan plans to live in a Grand Immortal City by the sea, continuing his life and cultivation as a Talisman Master.

"I can plunder demon beast bloodline talents and only get stronger with enough resources!"

All major sects and cultivation clans monopolize spirit land technique inheritances and various cultivation spiritual objects.

But in the East Sea, countless sea demons provide cultivation resources for Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan made up his mind.

To either join Cyan Cloud Sect.

Or live in seclusion in East Sea Immortal City as a loose cultivator.

Joining cultivation clans as a tributor is not within his considerations.

...

The next day.

Qin Yuehan returned to Cold Moon Pavilion.

Compared to the previous solemnity, Qin Yuehan was now quite joyful.

"Shen Xuan, my master is willing to meet you!"

"You must seize the opportunity and perform well!"

"Whether you can join Cyan Cloud Sect depends on your performance!"

Qin Yuehan's words carried a hint of anticipation.

Then Qin Yuehan introduced the situation about her master, True Master Yang.

Qin Yuehan feared Shen Xuan didn't understand sect rules and might say something wrong, wasting the hard-earned opportunity she got for him.

She hoped Shen Xuan would join Cyan Cloud Sect.

After all these years, Shen Xuan maintained a refined and gentlemanly image.

Each glance evoked a bizarre sense of melancholy.

Even being eighty-five years old.

After establishing his Foundation, Shen Xuan seemed to defy aging even more.

Becoming more like the person she imagined and embellished in her mind.

"Lady Qin, thank you!"

"Is there a need for thanks between us?"

"Forgive me for being formal!"

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

Great grace and virtue are unrepayable.

In the future, if given the chance, repay her with his life?

Shen Xuan chuckled self-mockingly.

At this moment, he understood.

In the cultivation realm, high-level female cultivators are rare.

Like Qin Yuehan, with middle grade Dao Foundation, her status is quite high in the sect.

She can find a dual cultivation partner across one or two minor realms easily.

Even crossing a great realm is not uncommon.

For someone like Shen Xuan, a Foundation Establishment loose cultivator.

The difference in status between him and Qin Yuehan is vast.

"She doesn't even fancy direct disciples of Golden Core True Masters or Thunder Cultivators!"

Qin Yuehan was still in an excited state.

Unaware of Shen Xuan's thoughts.

"Shen Xuan, did you listen clearly to what Yuehan just said?"

"I heard clearly!"

"That's good then!"

Qin Yuehan's emotions finally calmed slightly.

"Lady Qin. Now, that I am at Foundation Establishment. Can you call me Fellow Daoist Shen?"

Qin Yuehan was slightly taken aback.

Quickly, she understood Shen Xuan's intention.

He was afraid of jealousy causing trouble.

"Alright!"

"Thank you, Lady Qin!"

Looking at the graceful Shen Xuan before her, Qin Yuehan suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity.

...

A few days later.

Shen Xuan went with Qin Yuehan to meet True Master Yang.

Qin Yuehan waved up the cloud scarf, carrying herself and Shen Xuan, flying towards the peak of Little Gu Feng.

The fierce wind was icy to the bone.

Shen Xuan operated the Divine Hidden Sea Technique to resist the cold wind atop the mountain.

Ahead.

Qin Yuehan's graceful and light figure displayed the beauty of elegant curves in the blowing wind.

The cloud scarf flew higher and higher.

Looking down at Cyan Cloud Sect, hundreds of towering buildings, ancient and charming, all came into view.

The place with the densest Spiritual Qi in the sect.

These high towering peaks housing the various Core Formation True Masters of Cyan Cloud Sect.

Also, the best grotto heaven blessed lands in Cyan Cloud Sect.

An orb of red sunlight shone on the peak of Little Gu Feng.

"Is this the Tier Three grotto heaven blessed land?"

Shen Xuan's eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment.

The richness of the Spiritual Qi here was a hundred times that of his original place!

Shen Xuan stood outside the cave mansion, took a deep breath.

The Five Elements Spiritual Qi playfully danced and surged around the cave mansion.

At any moment, it felt as though he could soar.

A cold and majestic female voice came from the grotto heaven blessed land, penetrating everything.

Before, the playfully surging Spiritual Light gems in the cave were now dazzling.

A lady dressed in a Seven-Colored Phoenix Tail Immortal Skirt appeared, gracefully lifting her voice, revealing an elegant presence.

She was radiating a brilliant aura of seven colors, even the surrounding air shimmered in colored lights.

It was as if she could see through everything.

"Yuehan, your arrival is noted!"

A cold and authoritative female voice came from within the grotto heaven blessed land, as if able to pierce through all things.

Originally swirling and surging playful air now lit up with radiant lights through the Spiritual Light Gems.

A young woman in a Seven-Colored Phoenix Tail Immortal Skirt emerged in the brightest glow, her whole being shimmering with colorful divine brilliance, even casting the surrounding air into a spectrum of light.

As if she could read Shen Xuan's mind.

"I am Yang Caiyi."

Shen Xuan's expression changed.

He dared not express any further wild thoughts.

He obediently knelt and kowtowed.

"Loose Cultivator Shen Xuan greets True Master Yang!"

"Shen Xuan, Yuehan states your conduct is virtuous, you possess both moral integrity and talent, with a gentleman's demeanor."

"Let me ask you, is what she says true or not?"
