30: Chapter 30 A Fluttering of the Cultivation Technique?

The scale of this market was countless times larger than the White Bird Market!

Ye Changge had a clear goal and first visited several large shops selling Materials.

He carefully searched for the items he needed.

His luck was good, and because the Lingxiao Sect had a deep foundation and many Cultivators came and went, he actually managed to gather most of them.

Several items that were rarely seen in the White Bird Market were also purchased here.

After some purchasing, he had spent over two thousand three hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

"Fortunately, there were five thousand Spirit Stones generously sponsored by a kind soul, otherwise, it would have really hurt my wallet."

Ye Changge weighed his slightly lighter Storage Pouch, but he didn't mind too much.

After carefully putting the items away, Ye Changge was in a good mood. With his hands behind his back, he strolled leisurely along the bluestone path of the market's main street, intending to wander around a bit more to see if there were any other unexpected gains.

Just then, a woman walked toward him.

Although she used a sheer veil Magical Artifact to cover her face, making her features unclear,

her exquisite figure and the aura naturally radiating from her entire being

still drew the sidelong glances of many passersby.

It was the cold and aloof woman who had just descended the mountain.

At this moment, she was immersed in her comprehension of the "Ice Heart Sentiment Forgetting Art".

'The Mortal World is chaotic, with seven emotions and six desires... what exactly is sentiment? What is thought? And how does one forget?'

She pondered in her heart.

Her long, slender eyelashes trembled slightly beneath the veil.

Suddenly.

The Qi of the "Ice Heart Sentiment Forgetting Art" slowly circulating within her body palpitated without warning!

"Hmm?" Xia Qingyue's footsteps paused slightly.

The Cultivation Technique palpitating on its own?

This had never happened since she began to Cultivate.

Subconsciously, she followed the vague direction of the palpitation coming from the Cultivation Technique and looked up.

Her gaze passed through the bustling crowd.

It landed on a young man in green robes who was strolling casually not far away.

That person had an ordinary appearance, and his aura was restrained.

At first glance, there was nothing special about him.

At the same time.

Ye Changge, who was about to walk into a nearby ancient book shop to take a look, also felt a stir in his heart.

Within his Sea of Consciousness, that pale pink peach blossom luck gu worm, which had been quietly dormant, actually began to tremble gently.

"Hmm? The gu worm is reacting?"

Ye Changge was surprised.

"Does this mean there is high-quality 'peach blossom luck' nearby? It's rare to be able to induce this treasure to give an active prompt."

He immediately stopped and looked around.

He soon saw the conspicuous, cold, and aloof figure in the crowd.

Almost instinctively, his gaze narrowed slightly.

【Ding~ Detected target Spiritual Root: Fourth-Grade Ice Spiritual Root! Taiyin Spiritual Body (Advanced Spiritual Body)!】

Fourth-Grade Spiritual Root! Advanced Spiritual Body!

Ye Changge's heart shook violently.

A Fourth-Grade Spiritual Root, only one grade away from a superior Spiritual Root!

This was definitely the woman with the best Innate Aptitude he had encountered since obtaining the System!

Not to mention the Medium Grade Spiritual Body that sounded very powerful!

Shock was shock.

But a woman with such Aptitude often had complex forces involved behind her.

Although peach blossom luck is good, one must have the life to enjoy it.

He suppressed the emotions in his heart.

He quickly averted his gaze, pretended nothing had happened, and continued walking forward.

He hadn't walked a few steps.

"Fellow Daoist, please stay your steps!"

Ye Changge felt a chill run down his spine for no reason.

This sentence was not exactly an auspicious opening line in the Cultivation World...

He turned around and cupped his hands.

"Young lady, are you calling me? Is there something you need?"

The woman looked quietly at the ordinary-looking young man before her through the veil.

The palpitation from the Cultivation Technique seemed to become a bit clearer.

Her doubts deepened.

Yet she really couldn't see anything special about him.

After a moment of hesitation, she finally chose to speak directly.

After all, the Cultivation Technique's palpitation was unprecedented; perhaps it was an Opportunity for a Breakthrough.

"Oh? You say your Cultivation Technique produced a palpitation toward me?"

Ye Changge asked in confusion.

Thoughts raced through his mind.

'Could it be... the reason for the peach blossom luck gu worm?'

"I don't know much about Cultivation Technique sensing. However, since you have sensed something, I wonder how I can help?"

The woman shook her head slightly, her veil moving slightly.

"I don't know either."

She paused, appearing somewhat embarrassed, but still said.

"I wonder... could I ask you, Fellow Daoist, to allow me to follow you for a period of time? I only need to follow nearby and will absolutely not disturb your affairs."

Upon hearing this, Ye Changge's hesitation deepened.

Although he coveted her Spiritual Root.

But a female Cultivator with a Fourth-Grade Spiritual Root asking to stay by his side?

The Karma involved behind this could be huge!

"Young lady, this... I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate. I am alone and used to being on my own..."

Xia Qingyue saw his hesitation.

With a flip of her slender hand, a token appeared in her palm.

"Fellow Daoist, please rest assured,"

She showed the token to Ye Changge.

"I am a True Disciple of the Lingxiao Sect. This trip is only to seek an Opportunity for a Breakthrough in my Cultivation Technique; I have absolutely no ill intent."

"Whether it succeeds or not, there will definitely be a generous reward afterward."

A True Disciple of the Lingxiao Sect!

Ye Changge's pupils constricted slightly.

This background was indeed not small.

However, the fact that she revealed her identity actually made him feel a bit more at ease.

True Disciples of large Sects usually pay more attention to their reputation.

And their actions have a bottom line.

He pondered for a moment.

In the end, he couldn't resist the temptation of a high Spiritual Root.

"Alright, I agree to this matter. May I ask the Fairy's name?"

Seeing him agree, the woman relaxed slightly and said softly.

"Xia Qingyue."

"So it is Fairy Xia. I am Li Feiyu."

Ye Changge said without a racing heart or blushing face.

"Li Feiyu..."

Xia Qingyue murmured slightly from beneath the veil.

Ye Changge continued to ask.

"I wonder how Fairy Xia intends to 'follow'? I still need to wait here for the results of my son's participation in your Sect's selection. I may need to linger here for a few more days."

"No matter, I will just follow Fellow Daoist and move around this market and its vicinity."

"In that case... that is fine." Ye Changge nodded.

"Then... I will have to trouble Fairy Xia."

Just like that, there was an extra woman by Ye Changge's side.

Xia Qingyue followed silently by Ye Changge's side, not saying much, just following quietly at a distance of two or three steps.

Ye Changge was not quite used to it at first.

There was an extra person by his side, a cold and aloof female Cultivator with an exquisite figure.

Everywhere they went, it drew the quiet scrutiny of passersby.

He tried to find topics, asking her about the customs of the Lingxiao Sect and the features of the market.

Xia Qingyue mostly only replied with one or two words.

"Hmm."

"Yes."

"I don't know."

It wasn't that she was intentionally cold; it was just that she had cultivated the "Ice Heart Sentiment Forgetting Art" since she was young, and her personality was naturally like this.

In her daily life, apart from talking with her Revered Master, she almost never interacted deeply with others, let alone matters of romance between men and women.

Ye Changge asked a few questions and saw that the other party's response was so concise.

He had to touch his nose and give up, muttering to himself:

"Why is this young lady so cold and aloof?"

It left him, an expert who had mastered countless women, feeling a bit at a loss for how to proceed.

The two walked one after the other, silently along the bustling market street, the atmosphere truly a bit awkward.

While walking, Ye Changge caught a glimpse of a small shop selling Spirit Fruits by the side of the road.

At the entrance of the shop stood a thick straw target, filled with skewers of crystal-clear "Glazed Candies".

Ye Changge's eyes lit up.

He had many children at home, and every time he went out and returned, he always had to bring some small snacks.

These Glazed Candies looked beautiful and delicious, and the children would surely like them.
