Volume 1, Chapter 53: The Five-Flavor Shop

The parade of the Flower Goddess had drawn to a close, but the day was still young. Shen Qingdai changed her clothes in the side room of the Flower Goddess Shrine and stood by the doorway, waiting for Xiao Yuanshang. In her heart, she still lingered on the message Xiao Yuanshang had sent via Hongying to remind her.

Her long hair was left hanging down the back, though the crown section was braided more tightly, coiled up into a lightweight and comfortable bun atop her head. A single tassel hairpin was thrust through it, and tucked behind her right ear were two flowers—one red, one yellow—adding a lively touch to her appearance.

Knowing he was out of favor with his superiors, Yang Xu simply chose to remain at the very rear of the procession, trailing far behind in a carriage.

A long while passed, and still no sound issued from within. Lady Han noticed that Duan Kui's brows were furrowed tighter and tighter, his fingers fidgeting restlessly.

That being said, if the Gold Poison could be frozen completely solid just like that by this bizarre white light, what on earth should be done next?

She was not old at all, just right at the prime age of eighteen or nineteen; how could she possibly have been outshone by a mere Beauty Yao? The more she thought about it, the more anxious and exasperated she grew, and the force with which she massaged her temples increased accordingly.

Thus, simultaneously, Solan—having finally set her mind at ease—found a legitimate excuse to shift her attention away from her.

While a sense of puzzlement stirred within Li Ke's mind, he split off a wisp from his own soul to continue invading Xiao Yifei's body and suppress his resistance.

This topic was indeed enough to make Arya lose her composure. She straightened and twisted her waist, flipping down from the structure. Only then did Solan notice that some mud was clinging to her leather boots, especially along the instep, which was dusted with gray.

Yin Feng wore a shy expression; perhaps because these spiritual herbs had not been obtained with too much hardship, he did not feel any particular heartache over them.

Therefore, the Realm-Fugitive currently at the very front would still require some time before reaching the fork in the road of the All-Cultivation Gate.

In truth, bound by the unwritten conventions of the cultivation world, practically no one would ever dare to arbitrarily disrupt a duel currently underway in the arena.

Divine Marquis Guli possessed extremely keen perception. The moment Jiang Yuan extracted a wisp of his aura, he sensed the action, though for a brief moment he could not fathom what Jiang Yuan was trying to achieve.

One day, news of the commencement of the Spirit Awakening spread throughout the inner circle of the Immortal Alliance. Ten days later, the entire cultivation world knew that the Kunlun Immortal Alliance was about to open the origin of the Heavenly Dao's spirits.

The opportunity for which they had waited countless years had finally arrived. Right here in the Immortal Ascension Valley, he would accomplish the grand undertaking of spirit awakening for the cultivation world.

The Vajra Subjugating Demon Circle was ranked seventh among the top ten must-acquire magical treasures of the Lanyun Sect. Whoever obtained this treasure would undoubtedly be valued by the sect and admitted as an inner disciple. Although Yumei cared little for the title of a newly initiated disciple, she desperately wanted this treasure to exchange for something held by the Sect Master.

The sight of Confucius coughing up blood filled countless Confucian disciples with expressions of deep worry, terrified that something might happen to their Master. Yet, the various sages and countless supreme experts watching the battle, upon witnessing 'Confucius coughing up blood,' did not show a single trace of mockery or ridicule; instead, every one of their faces turned exceptionally grave.

"Such a figure—how could he ever be appraised by conventional logic? Judging by the heaven-defying strength he possessed at his age a century ago, it is hard to imagine what kind of realm he might have attained by now," Long Tiangang remarked.

Although the commotion inside was deafening, Sun Xi and the others standing outside could not hear a single sound. It appeared that Changshan had installed plenty of high-quality soundproofing materials during the initial renovation; otherwise, it would never have been this quiet.

The problem was that there were simply too many people assisting the Human Sovereign, and once the store of merit was divided among them, there was not enough left for Xuanyuan to achieve enlightenment. This situation instantly turned Xuanyuan's complexion extremely unsightly.

"If it cannot be done, then it cannot be done." Leng Xuan let out a sigh. "It is true that I want the manual, but I am not someone who breaks his word." With that, he suddenly took a step back and slammed the iron door shut with a loud bang.
