71: Chapter 71: Fairy of the Rainbow Robes VS Nangong Wan!
Yanyue Sect, Nangong Wan's Immortal Cave
Having just passed her Reincarnation cycle and successfully advanced, Nangong Wan hadn't even had much time to celebrate before she heard the news brought by Fairy Nishang.
"Junior Sister, are you saying that the Disciple from Yellow Maple Valley with the Heavenly Spiritual Root has already formed his Golden Core and become a Core Formation Stage Cultivator like us? But as far as I know, he hasn't even been cultivating for thirty years."
Upon Nangong Wan's stunningly beautiful and flawless face, shock could not be hidden as she spoke.
This was something unbelievable for any Cultivator.
"What Senior Sister says is correct; that Fellow Daoist Changsheng has indeed been cultivating for less than thirty years. Looking at the entire Tiannan Cultivation World, those who successfully achieve Core Formation in less than thirty years are few and far between, if not non-existent. The Grand Elder even said that if it were the ancient era ten thousand years ago, that Fellow Daoist Changsheng from Yellow Maple Valley would surely have a chance to advance to the Soul Transformation Stage. Therefore, the Grand Elder wants the Core Formation Stage female Cultivators of our Sect to become his Dao Companion."
At this point, Fairy Nishang's cheeks heated up slightly, and a faint, heart-stirring blush surfaced.
Seeing this change in Fairy Nishang's expression, the shock on Nangong Wan's face immediately diminished by half, replaced by a trace of oddity.
"Junior Sister Nishang, you wouldn't be thinking of becoming his Dao Companion, would you?"
Before she could finish, Fairy Nishang impatiently nodded her head, the blush on her cheeks deepening even further.
"Exactly! I have also just achieved Core Formation not long ago, and compared to him, my age isn't too great. Among the Core Formation women of the Seven Sects, I am one of the most suitable candidates. Moreover, Fellow Daoist Changsheng has infinite potential; if I become his Dao Companion, I might even have a chance to advance to the Nascent Soul Stage in the future. Furthermore, this would be a good thing for our Sect. What do you think, Senior Sister?"
Fairy Nishang admitted it quite quickly and explained her reasoning.
Simply put, she valued Zhao Changsheng's potential.
After all, looking at the entire Tiannan Cultivation World, no one could compare to Zhao Changsheng.
Under these circumstances, if one didn't seize the opportunity, he would easily be snatched away by others.
Fairy Nishang was also very clear about her own cultivation Aptitude.
Perhaps there was hope for the Middle Core Formation Stage or Late Core Formation Stage, but the hope of advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage was slim.
The only way was to rely on external help.
And such external help was not so easy to come by.
Among the Core Formation Stage men of the Yanyue Sect, it wasn't that Fairy Nishang looked down on every single one, but it was close.
As for the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, they all already had Dao Companions and would never choose her.
As for Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators from other Schools, it was even more impossible.
And she was unwilling to be someone else's concubine. In this situation, the only person she could choose was Zhao Changsheng, and he was the best candidate.
It could be said that in the entire Tiannan Cultivation World, there was no candidate more suitable for her than Zhao Changsheng.
Whether it was cultivation Aptitude, cultivation speed, or any other aspect, Fairy Nishang was quite satisfied.
The reason she was in such a hurry to find Nangong Wan and admit it to her face despite her maidenly bashfulness was for fear that Nangong Wan would compete with her.
Because Fairy Nishang knew very well that Nangong Wan surpassed her in every aspect. In such a case, if Nangong Wan competed with her, she would basically have no chance of winning.
That was why she was so anxious to admit it, just to prevent Nangong Wan from snatching Zhao Changsheng away.
"What you say is true. If he continues at his current cultivation speed, he might really have a chance to step into the rank of a Late Nascent Soul Great Cultivator in the future. In that case, it's only natural for Revered Master to have the women of our Sect become his Dao Companion and form an alliance with Yellow Maple Valley. Since you have this intention, Junior Sister, you might as well tell Revered Master directly and let her go to Yellow Maple Valley to explain the matter."
Nangong Wan was naturally neither blind nor foolish; she could clearly see why Fairy Nishang was so eager to tell her this and declare her feelings.
Because of the events in the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land, she had no good feelings toward Zhao Changsheng, let alone becoming his Dao Companion.
Forget Fairy Nishang; even if her Revered Master came to speak of this, it would be impossible.
After all, she had also successfully formed her Golden Core before the age of a hundred, and her chances of advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage in the future were very high. She didn't need to rely on others like Fairy Nishang.
"Then I thank you, Senior Sister."
Hearing Nangong Wan's words, Fairy Nishang breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
Because Nangong Wan's words indicated she promised not to compete with her and would even support her.
Under these circumstances, she was naturally grateful to Nangong Wan and quickly thanked her.
"There's no need for that, Junior Sister. If you truly become his Dao Companion, you will have a chance to successfully condense a Nascent Soul in the future. I should congratulate you in advance then."
Nangong Wan smiled beautifully and offered her congratulations.
"Senior Sister, please don't tease me. If it weren't a last resort, I wouldn't do this. Besides, if it turns out to be just my wishful thinking, it would be quite embarrassing."
Fairy Nishang suddenly thought of something and gave a self-deprecating laugh.
"How could that be? With your beauty and grace, Junior Sister, that Fellow Daoist Changsheng from Yellow Maple Valley will certainly not refuse once he knows. He will surely come in person to propose marriage. How could he possibly refuse you?"
Nangong Wan began to offer words of comfort.
"I hope so. However, the other Sects will probably also choose suitable Core Formation Stage women. Senior Sister, who do you think is most likely?"
Fairy Nishang chose to discuss the potential love rivals she might soon face with Nangong Wan.
After all, this time, there would surely be many who want to become Zhao Changsheng's Dao Companion.
"I'm afraid it's not just the other Sects; even the cultivation Schools of the neighboring countries will choose to form alliances with Yellow Maple Valley. Because as long as one isn't stupid, anyone can see Fellow Daoist Changsheng's potential. In this case, the best way is to form a marriage alliance and deliver a suitable Dao Companion to his door to help him Cultivate. One day in the future, when he can advance to become a Late Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, it will be a monumental blessing for the entire Sect. Who could possibly pass up such an opportunity?"
"Similarly, those Sects that are enemies of Yellow Maple Valley will not easily let him go, so there is also risk involved in this matter. You must be prepared, Junior Sister."
Nangong Wan's face turned solemn as she spoke to remind her.
"I have naturally considered this, but compared to Fellow Daoist Changsheng's potential, this bit of danger is nothing. Moreover, Yellow Maple Valley isn't stupid; they won't just stand by and watch Fellow Daoist Changsheng fall into danger. They will surely do their utmost to protect him properly and basically won't allow him to leave the Sect, at least for the time being."
