Chapter 699: Chapter 381: Journey to the Immortal Cloud Together

"Can you find it?"

Chu Qing looked at Ji Yexue with some surprise but upon reflection, he realized that the person before him, despite appearing young, was in fact an elderly person over seventy years old.

Most of his life was spent in seclusion, but with his age, he was bound to know some secrets unknown to others.

Ji Yexue did not beat around the bush and spoke directly:

"You can find the Celestial Buddha Temple through the Treasures Tower."

Chu Qing looked into Ji Yexue’s eyes to confirm that he wasn’t being played with.

He then said helplessly:

"Treasures Tower is indeed reputed to be able to buy anything if you have money.

"But the problem is, the Treasures Tower is even more elusive..."

The mystery of the Celestial Buddha Temple is rooted in its legend in the martial world, but no one has ever seen it.

Or rather, those who have seen it have never appeared in the martial world again.

And how many would reveal themselves to search for such a place?

But the Treasures Tower is different...

How many people chase after the Treasures Tower?

Though the martial world isn’t lacking in people with chivalrous hearts, most still seek nothing but fame and fortune.

The Treasures Tower can make a person as rich as a nation overnight or provide earth-shattering secret martial arts techniques.

It is truly the ultimate place of opportunity under the heavens.

Thus there are many who pursue it... but very few who truly have the chance to step into the Treasures Tower.

Looking at the number of people, finding the Treasures Tower is even harder than finding the Celestial Buddha Temple.

Ji Yexue did not speak, and simply walked silently to the side, opened a box, and took out a plaque to give to Chu Qing.

Chu Qing took it and glanced at it. The plaque was actually made of pure gold and had only one character on it: ’Prosperity’!

"This is the Treasures Tower’s ’Prosperity Order.’

"Years ago, when I was traveling the martial world, I happened to form a bond with someone, who had intricate connections with the Treasures Tower.

"He gave this order to me, along with a message.

"This order is both a guide and a token.

"With this order, one can go to any Wanbao Money Shop in the world, and obtain the location of the Treasures Tower’s next appearance.

"As for the specific function of the token... I do not understand it."

Chu Qing was a bit surprised:

"So, there really is a connection between Wanbao Money Shop and Treasures Tower?"

Chu Qing was actually quite curious about this vast money shop that travels the world, but it was just a curiosity.

He never thought to make more inquiries.

Ji Yexue’s reply remained indifferent, provoking the urge to hit her:

"I don’t know."

"Then why didn’t you go?"

"Afterward, I returned to the mountain, received the position of Sect Leader, and began practicing the White Jade Scripture of Eternal Life.

"Once I achieved some results, I gradually became indifferent to external things, and many matters were let go."

After hearing this, Chu Qing was thoughtful:

"So, this plaque has been with you for... over fifty years?"

Ji Yexue nodded and then added:

"The Treasures Tower’s promise is worth a thousand gold and has remained unchanged for ten thousand years.

"This order must be useful."

"Alright."

Chu Qing put away the ’Prosperity Order’:

"Consider it a favor I owe you."

"No need."

Ji Yexue said softly:

"Just as agreed before, protect the legacy of Yao Tai Sect, so that the foundation we’ve built for centuries does not vanish in this storm."

There was nothing more to say with Ji Yexue after that.

But recalling the White Jade Scripture of Eternal Life, he couldn’t help feeling hesitant.

Gentle by nature is emotionally indifferent, which might be advantageous for practicing this method.

If she were to practice it, she might achieve great success.

But by doing so, her emotional indifference would only grow.

And whether this is the fundamental reason why the Celestial Fragrance Body doesn’t live past twenty-five years, Chu Qing was unsure.

Thus, if one were to use this technique, two points must be understood.

This is not a method to compensate emotional desires, and the age limit of twenty-five might not be broken because of it.

Chu Qing contemplated for a while and decided to put it aside for now. If he cannot find the Earth Scroll, then he might consider having her practice this technique.

After bidding farewell to Ji Yexue and asking her to attend the meeting as scheduled, Chu Qing left the Gu Feng and returned to the Jade Universe Pavilion.

Wu Qianhuan, Gentle, and Wenren Qianluo were all drinking tea, having almost rested enough.

At this time, Su Ningzhen came in from outside and said to Chu Qing:

"Young Master, Su Ningzhen is here to take my leave."

Chu Qing nodded:

"What are your plans after this?"

She smiled lightly:

"I plan to first return to Xiangshan Sea to pay respects to my mentor and fellow disciples.

"After which, I will live in seclusion in Xiangshan Sea... to mourn for my mentor.

"As for other things... for now, I do not plan to."

Chu Qing glanced at her and said softly:

"Alright, take care."

Wu Qianhuan and the others also stood up to bid their farewells with cupped hands.

Su Ningzhen cupped her fists and gave a deep bow to everyone present:

"Thank you all for your protection along the way. I shall remember this great favor for eternity and never forget it.

"I hope you all achieve victory in this battle and that your wishes come true.

"Farewell."

After saying that, she turned and left without lingering.

Wu Qianhuan watched her back, then looked at Chu Qing:

"I suddenly feel a bit worried. You think she won’t do something desperate, right?"

Chu Qing thought for a moment, then shook his head:

"The human heart is unpredictable, who can truly see?

"Her life is hers to control...

"We should be going too."

Among these words, he glanced at Wenren Qianluo.

Originally, at this point in the journey, he had planned to hold Wu Qianhuan in one hand and Gentle in the other, using his Lightweight Technique to quickly reach Immortal Cloud Mountain.

But because of Wenren Qianluo’s appearance, and having captured an assassin from Mirror of Sin alive, it was no longer convenient to do so.

Fortunately, after a period of recuperation, Wenren Qianluo’s injuries had significantly recovered.

Riding a horse by herself was no longer a problem.
