A pot of tea later, Shen Long appeared at the entrance of a nine-story golden pavilion, the signboard bearing the name “Rain Listening Pavilion” in three golden characters.

It was a tea house where many Qi Refining Cultivators enjoyed drinking tea, making friends, and incidentally gathering information.

Shen Long entered the Rain Listening Pavilion and made his way to the fifth floor, which was fully occupied.

Just as he was about to head upstairs, a hearty male voice called out, “Taoist Friend Li, are you looking for someone?”

Following the source of the voice, Shen Long saw a tall and thin young man in a silver robe, with a well-structured face, fair skin, holding a cyan-colored folding fan—a picture of grace and elegance.

“No, I came by myself.

Are you waiting for someone, Taoist Friend Wei?”

Shen Long said with a smile.

The young man in a silver robe was named Wei Tianbao, born into a cultivator family affiliated to Badao Villa.

Accompanied by his clan elder, Wei Tianbao had come to Cloud Dream Mountain intending to participate in the Ascendant Immortal Conference and become a disciple of Badao Villa.

“I’m waiting for two friends.

If Taoist Friend Li doesn’t mind, please join my table.

I’ve just acquired a can of fine tea leaves.”

Wei Tianbao said enthusiastically.

“Won’t I be interrupting?”

Shen Long asked politely.

“Not at all, I’ve mentioned you to them, and they also want to meet you.

Sit down, let’s drink and wait together!”

Wei Tianbao invited Shen Long to sit down and picked up the teapot to pour him a cup of Spiritual Tea.

The tea was golden in color, emitting a special, pleasant fragrance.

Shen Long took a sip and could clearly feel his Divine Sense strengthen a bit.

Even such a slight improvement was rather good.

“What kind of Spiritual Tea is this?”

Shen Long asked curiously, finishing the cup in one gulp.

“Soul Nourishing Tea!

I exchanged it with Taoist Friend Jiang.

It is said to be harvested only once every hundred years; a tea tree yields no more than about ten kilograms of tea leaves.

It’s reserved for Foundation Establishment Cultivators to drink.

It can enhance Divine Sense, and for us Qi Refining Cultivators, the effects are even better.”

Wei Tianbao explained with a smile, picking up the teapot to pour another cup for Shen Long.

“You really have a wide network of acquaintances, Taoist Friend Wei.

Only you could get your hands on such fine Spiritual Tea.”

Shen Long complimented him, taking another sip from his cup.

Wei Tianbao was skilled at making friends and knew many Qi Refining Cultivators who were eager to establish friendships.

“You flatter me, Taoist Friend Li.

It’s only because of Taoist Friend Jiang’s good graces that I could so easily exchange for a can of Soul Nourishing Tea!”

Wei Tianbao replied modestly, his expression showing pride.

“Taoist Friend Wei is really capable.

When I visited the Jiang Family last time, I had a hard time trying to exchange for two ounces of Soul Nourishing Tea with Taoist Friend Jiang, yet he directly gave you a whole can.”

A bell-like female voice chimed in.

As the voice faded, a wave of fragrance wafted by, and two young women walked over—a purple-dressed girl in her early twenties and a blue-dressed girl with some baby fat on her face.

The girl in purple had a melon-seed shaped face, cherry lips, a jade-like nose, skin whiter than snow, and eyes full of life, while the girl in blue had a round face, large eyes, and was remarkably busty with a slender waist that could be encircled with a handful. freewebnσvel.cøm

“Taoist Friend Li, let me introduce you.

These two are Fairies Zhang.”

Wei Tianbao rose to his feet and began the introductions.

Shen Long quickly stood and greeted them with clasped hands, “I am Li Xiao, and it’s an honor to meet both Fairies.”

“I am the younger sister, Zhang Yuyan, and it’s a pleasure to meet you, Taoist Friend Li.”

The girl in purple introduced herself.

“I’ve heard a lot about Taoist Friend Li from Wei Tianbao.

My name is Zhang Yuruo.

How about we find a place to spar?

Just with spells.”

The girl in blue’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

“Ah…

Some other day!”

Shen Long smiled sheepishly and tactfully declined.

“Taoist Friend Li, no offense intended.

My sister has cultivated the four first-level spells to Great Perfection, and I heard you have done the same, hence she wanted to compare notes with you on spellcasting.”

Zhang Yuyan explained.

Realizing the situation, Shen Long nodded to show his understanding.

Wei Tianbao invited them to sit down to enjoy some tea and chat leisurely.

“By the way, Taoist Friend Li, which sect are you thinking of joining?

Are you interested in joining the Qixia Sect?”

Zhang Yuyan asked casually.

The Zhang Family was a cultivation family affiliated with the Qixia Sect, and they especially came to the Ascension Conference to follow their elder’s orders to woo outstanding Qi Refining Cultivators to join the Qixia Sect.

“It’s not for me to decide, let’s try them one by one!”

Shen Long answered vaguely.

Qi Refining Cultivators from the affiliated cultivation families of Qixia Sect, Badao Villa, Zixiao Sect, and others tried to convince Shen Long to join their sect with them, explaining that their families had some influence within the sect so that if he joined with them, they could offer him some help.

This was not to say that Shen Long was particularly exceptional; it was just polite talk, similar to what they had said to many other Qi Refining Cultivators.

“Xuanyang Sect’s assessment is quite difficult to pass, Zixiao Sect prefers to recruit Talisman Makers, Badao Villa is known for its saber techniques, and most of its disciples cultivate saber arts.

The Spirit Control Sect specializes in Insect Repelling and Controlling Beast Taming, but the Qixia Sect is different.

It has high-ranking Talisman Makers, seniors who are adept at saber arts, and disciples skilled in Insect Repelling and Controlling Beast Taming.”

Zhang Yuyan said slowly.

“Hmph, Qixia Sect’s heritage is far inferior to our Spirit Control Sect, let alone Badao Villa.

Don’t you find it laughable, Fairy Zhang, to boast about Qixia Sect so much?”

A mocking male voice sounded.

No sooner had the voice faded than a bulky man in golden attire approached, his waist adorned with three Spirit Beast pouches, and his sleeves embroidered with patterns of birds, beasts, fish, and insects—the emblem of the Spirit Control Sect.

Zhang Yuyan smiled awkwardly and hurriedly explained, “Each sect has its own characteristics, I didn’t mean to belittle the Spirit Control Sect.”

“The fairy has not belittled our Spirit Control Sect indeed, but you oversold the Qixia Sect, making it sound like Qixia is the number one sect in the Qin Country to the uninformed!”

The man in golden attire scoffed.

“Our Qixia Sect is indeed not the number one sect in Qin Country, and neither is your Spirit Control Sect.

Fairy Zhang was just praising Qixia Sect a few words.

Taoist Friend Xu keeps giving us a hard time.

Are you looking down on our Qixia Sect?”

A cold female voice retorted.

As the words fell, a gold-garbed young woman in her twenties approached, her black hair cascading like a waterfall, her eyes as clear as water, her brows like distant mountains, and her slightly upturned nose giving her a noble air.

Her sleeves bore the emblem of a seven-colored rainbow, the symbol of the Qixia Sect.

“I certainly did not mean that.

I was merely pointing out that Fairy Zhang blew Qixia Sect’s trumpet a bit too loudly and was asserting a few fair points.

Our Spirit Control Sect might not match Xuanyang Sect, but it definitely surpasses your Qixia Sect,” he said with a proud face.

“Hmph, anyone can talk.

If you have the guts, let’s go to the Martial Training Ground and sort it out there.

Let’s see who’s better by showing real skill,” the golden-garbed young woman suggested.

“Let’s go.

I’m not afraid of you,” the man in golden attire readily agreed.

Shen Long and his group looked at each other; they had not expected such an incident to arise.

Both the gold-garbed young woman and the man in golden attire greatly defended their sect’s honor, showing a competitive spirit.

Turning to Shen Long and his companions, the man in golden attire said, “You all should come along too!

Let’s show you which is the mightier sect, Spirit Control Sect or Qixia Sect.”

Naturally, Shen Long and his friends raised no objections and followed them to a vast Azure Stone Plaza, where several tall azure stone platforms stood.
