Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

The people of Taiyi Sect were unfamiliar with Jiuqu City, so they did not refuse the kind offer from Gu Yue Family and readily used the provided guides. The guides sent by Gu Yue Family were very qualified, not prying into the personal matters of the Taiyi Sect cultivators, nor being gossipy. They simply focused on doing their job and dutifully led the way. Whenever the Taiyi Sect cultivators inquired about something, they always provided satisfactory answers.

The grand ceremony was still more than ten days away, so the Taiyi Sect cultivators had plenty of time to explore the city. They participated in numerous trading events and hardly missed any of the high-profile auctions hosted by the Four Seas Commercial Firm.

Taiyi Sect was now a member of the Jiuqu League, and the cultivators were often accompanied by their peers from Great Wind City. Not to mention that Jin Li, the True Monarch, was also taking care of them. In the Jiuqu League, Taiyi Sect was receiving decent treatment.

Many places that were not open to the public opened their doors to the Taiyi Sect cultivators. They began to gain access to various new trading channels and made significant gains in each transaction.

Meng Zhang even managed to spend a lot of effort at one of the Four Seas Commercial Firm auctions and successfully acquired a precious spiritual item called "Gold Core Jade." This item could help the Extreme Sword Spirit General recover its Cultivation Base, and Taiyi Sect had previously searched for it tirelessly but in vain. Jiuqu City indeed was a place abundant with valuable resources.

During the auction, there were no dramatic incidents. Meng Zhang simply took out a large amount of spiritual stones and effortlessly forced several competitors to retreat. Gold Core Jade was relatively obscure, and though it had a high grade, its applications were limited. Only a few specialized uses were known in the Cultivation World.

With the introduction from Gu Yue Huaidie, Meng Zhang and other Taiyi Sect cultivators also made significant gains in some private trading events. Being a Gold Core Daoist Master and a lord of a sect, Meng Zhang had some status and was well received in these gatherings.

Meanwhile, Jin Li, the True Monarch, went alone to meet True Monarch Azure Mist as arranged. Jin Qiao'er followed Meng Zhang and also enjoyed her time exploring Jiuqu City. Apart from attending various trading events, she seized the opportunity to have some fun.

Qiaoshou Sect obtained the place called Dustfall Mound as its new base. In recent years, following closely behind Taiyi Sect, Qiaoshou Sect had gained many benefits, and their income had significantly increased. Supporting a Gold Core Daoist Master was not easy, but they managed to do it, even if it required some effort.

Jin Qiao'er was well aware of the situation within her sect, so she did not take advantage of it excessively. She only accepted a small portion of the sect's offerings, primarily relying on her own ventures outside and the rewards bestowed by Jin Li, the True Monarch.

Jin Li, the True Monarch, was very fond of her only disciple and was especially generous to Jin Qiao'er after she formed her core. She had become Jin Li's true successor.

Jin Li, the True Monarch, was quite generous with Jin Qiao'er and readily invested resources in her. Jin Qiao'er lived a comfortable life, not only meeting her own cultivation needs but also having the ability to take care of the younger generation in Qiaoshou Sect.

This rare visit to Jiuqu City allowed Jin Qiao'er to let loose and indulge in shopping, buying all the way without restraint.

While Meng Zhang and the others were busy participating in trading, Jin Li, the True Monarch, was taken to the residence of the Azure Origin Sect and had a lengthy conversation with True Monarch Azure Mist. During their last encounter in the Endless Sea of Sand, when True Monarch Azure Mist mediated the grievances among three Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, Jin Li, the True Monarch, expressed her willingness to join the Jiuqu League. With True Monarch Azure Mist's identity, he accepted Jin Li, the True Monarch, into the league, making her a member of the Jiuqu League.

However, many details had not been thoroughly discussed by both parties. Even within the Jiuqu League, there were factions, and the same applied to the Azure Origin Sect.

Since True Monarch Azure Mist actively recruited Jin Li, the True Monarch, he naturally hoped she would become a member of his faction. Now that Jin Li, the True Monarch, had arrived at the Jiuqu League, her joining should be straightforward. True Monarch Azure Mist could now freely discuss and consult with her on various details.

It was unclear whether it was due to the urgent need for enhanced top-tier combat power within the Jiuqu League or if True Monarch Azure Mist wanted to strengthen his own faction. He was eager to win over Jin Li, the True Monarch, almost without any disguise.

Originally, Jin Li, the True Monarch, had some intentions of bargaining, but since no other forces approached her, and True Monarch Azure Mist was so sincere, her inclination naturally leaned toward him. True Monarch Azure Mist was well aware of the mindset of loose cultivators, or one could say it was a common trait among the majority of cultivators in the Cultivation World. He generously offered generous conditions to win over Jin Li, the True Monarch.

Although Jin Li, the True Monarch, was already very tempted, she did not immediately accept but rather tactfully postponed her response. True Monarch Azure Mist, though eager, maintained the demeanor of a cultivator from a major sect and did not press Jin Li, the True Monarch, to decide immediately.

The atmosphere between the two was harmonious, and their conversation was very pleasant. True Monarch Azure Mist did not continue to dwell on the previous topic but instead shared the details of the grand ceremony and provided instructions on various matters.

After leaving the residence of the Azure Origin Sect, Jin Li, the True Monarch, spent the next few days enjoying herself in Jiuqu City. During this time, she imagined that various forces would be trying to win her over, but that scene did not appear. Especially Jade Sword Sect, which had been in conflict with the Azure Origin Sect recently, completely ignored Jin Li, the True Monarch, without even a courteous greeting.

As a newly joined Primordial Spirit True Monarch within the alliance, and with Jade Sword Sect being one of the two giants of the Jiuqu League, they should have sent someone to greet her out of courtesy. But Jade Sword Sect adopted an indifferent attitude, which surprised Jin Li, the True Monarch.

After several days of consideration and careful consideration, during which Jin Li, the True Monarch, also discussed with Meng Zhang and listened to the opinions of the Taiyi Sect members, she finally accepted the invitation from True Monarch Azure Mist before the grand ceremony. She became a member of the faction where True Monarch Azure Mist belonged.

True Monarch Azure Mist needed a Primordial Spirit combatant like Jin Li, the True Monarch, and Jin Li, the True Monarch, who had no backing, also required a strong support. With the favorable conditions offered by True Monarch Azure Mist, they naturally reached an agreement.

Both parties achieved what they wanted, and it was a win-win situation.

During this time, besides attending various trading events, Meng Zhang also received an unexpected invitation. It came from the Saintess of the Yellow Lotus Sect, who conveyed her desire to meet Taiyi Sect's Sect Master, Meng Zhang, in private through Gu Yue Family's people. Since Gu Yue Family vouched for them, and this was Jiuqu City, Meng Zhang readily accepted the invitation and agreed to the meeting.
