214: An Yunxi visits again

An Yunxi still ignored Liu Xuan; she took a rhombus-shaped token from her body and showed it to Zi Lan.

"This is the token of my Beast Taming Sect Southern Branch. You Red... Red Pine Sect Golden Core True Person should recognize it. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask."

The status of the Beast Taming Sect Southern Branch is equal to that of the Heavenly Sword Sect; to her, a Golden Core vassal Sect like the Red Pine Sect is just a remote, backwater place.

"Forget it! Why am I telling you this? Let's talk about business; sell me some black crystal honey."

Hearing her say this, Liu Xuan actually believed her a little, but why did she run so far to come here?

It wasn't convenient to ask about these things for now, so Liu Xuan set aside his doubts, took a box of black crystal honey from his Storage Pouch, and handed it over.

The honey was only First Grade High Grade, exactly one jin, worth between one thousand and two thousand Spirit Stones.

Although the Black Crystal Bee Queen had achieved a Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage and could produce Second Grade black crystal honey, the yield was too low, and Liu Xuan had no intention of selling it.

Not only was the Second Grade black crystal honey not for sale, but Liu Xuan would not sell the lower-grade black crystal honey either.

Over the years, the scale of the bee colony devouring monster beast flesh and blood had expanded countless times, but monster beast flesh and blood could not be used to make honey, and White Crane Lake had fewer spirit plants and spirit flowers than the Sect, so the honey yield had actually decreased a bit.

Such good stuff wasn't enough for his own family to eat, and the Merchant Alliance would purchase it from outside, so of course, he wouldn't take it out to sell.

"The yield of black crystal honey is low; I don't have much here either. Just give me one thousand Spirit Stones; consider it making a friend."

An Yunxi looked at Zi Lan, then looked at Liu Xuan, then put away the honey and took out ten High-Grade Spirit Stones and threw them to Liu Xuan.

"Many thanks!"

She kicked the big bear, which was still sleeping soundly, "Dashan, it's time for us to go!"

The big bear opened its eyes, sniffed with its nose, and looked at the honey box in An Yunxi's hand.

"Here you go!"

The big bear took the box and opened it carefully, licking it in small bites while following behind An Yunxi as they walked out.

After the person and the bear left, Zi Lan asked, "Husband, do you think what she said is true or false?"

Liu Xuan shook his head, got up, and walked out, "Let's go back first!"

After returning to White Crane Lake, Liu Xuan immediately found Bai Shan and asked her to use the Lingshu Pavilion to investigate the information on a young girl and a big bear.

Subsequently, he sent someone to deliver a letter to Peng Jiayu in the county town, asking if she knew about the situation of the Beast Taming Sect Southern Branch.

Finally, he sent secret letters to Xu Bin of the Nether Fire Sect and Gong Wang of the Bone Fiend Sect, ordering them to investigate recent news regarding a Late Foundation Establishment Stage battle, involving a young girl and a big bear Yao Beast.

Regardless of whether what An Yunxi said was true or false, this matter was likely related to the abnormality of the Peach Blossom Sect two years ago, so it was best to figure it out.

The Peach Blossom Sect, the Heavenly Sword Sect, and now even the Beast Taming Sect, which was who knows how far away, were all involved; Liu Xuan felt that he was being swept up by a massive trend.

'It's best to figure out the situation first; once things go wrong, it's better to escape in advance.'

Yes, escape!

Whatever the grand trend, whatever the Opportunity, for Liu Xuan, who possessed the System, none of it was important; as long as the danger level was too high, the best way to deal with it was to leave immediately.

'I just want to live quietly; I hope you don't force me!'

...

On the other side.

An Yunxi and Dashan did not leave the marketplace but found an inn to stay in, and then also started to inquire about the situation of the Liu Family on Lake Heart Island and Liu Xuan.

Everything here was too strange! Foundation Establishment Stage Black Crystal Bees, developed commerce, Foundation Establishment Cultivators acting as Concubines for Qi Refining Cultivators... every single thing made her feel that something was wrong.

She was sent by the Sect to gather all kinds of intelligence, which included not only intelligence on the Peach Blossom Sect but also intelligence on the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Soon, she was shocked by the information she learned; the Zi Lan she had seen earlier was truly Liu Xuan's Concubine, and she had only achieved her Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment a little over a year ago.

There was very little news about Zi Lan; it was only known that she was a Disciple of the Nether Fire Sect, and after becoming Liu Xuan's Concubine, she announced her withdrawal from the Sect, working only for the Liu Family.

The focus was on Liu Xuan; in the eyes of the Cultivators in the marketplace, he was the master of White Crane Lake, and even the entire Yongning; his legendary experiences were countless.

An Yunxi didn't need to spend effort inquiring; she just said she was from out of town and brought up the topic of Liu Xuan, and some Cultivators began to talk endlessly.

From a local farm boy in Yongning to becoming the master of Yongning in over ten years, it was a legend in itself.

Coupled with the fact that Liu Xuan had many fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law, most Cultivators in the entire Yongning could be related to him.

Some events, after being artistically processed by gossip lovers, spread even further.

As an excellent intelligence operative, An Yunxi quickly sorted out Liu Xuan's identity and experiences from various versions of the rumors.

'This person should indeed possess a special spirit body; he is a talent!'

'Cultivating to the Eighth Layer of Qi Refining in his early thirties, even in my Beast Taming Sect Southern Branch, he counts as a level within the Inner Sect Disciple.'

"No, that's not right!"

"According to what they said, the Black Crystal Bees are also Liu Xuan's spirit pets; controlling Foundation Establishment Black Crystal Bees with Qi Refining cultivation, this is top-tier beast taming talent!"

Top-tier talent wasn't even enough to describe it; perhaps only the Main Mountain of the Beast Taming Sect would have such a beast taming Genius!

"No!"

"I must confirm again; perhaps I can introduce a super Genius to my Southern Branch!"

Unlike the enfeoffment System similar to the Azure Profound Sect, the Beast Taming Sect had extremely strong control over its branches, and the competition between branches was intense; a Genius could bring great benefits to a branch, so they valued Geniuses even more.

Three days after their last meeting, An Yunxi found Wang Yuwan again and proposed that she wanted to go to Lake Heart Island to pay a visit.

Jingxin Courtyard.

When Liu Xuan received Wang Yuwan's report, the intelligence he had ordered to be investigated had also basically been sent back.

According to Peng Jiayu, the Azure Profound Sect was indeed very close to the Beast Taming Sect, and there was indeed a Southern Branch bordering the Azure Profound Sect.

Although he didn't know what the Sect sent her to do, it was definitely to prepare for some major event.

Since it was a major event, it was normal for the Beast Taming Sect to be involved; perhaps the higher-ups had already discussed it long ago.

There was no useful information from Xu Bin's side, but the information sent back by Gong Wang was very likely related to An Yunxi.

A month ago, the Peach Blossom Sect issued a wanted notice, which included a young girl and a big bear.

The reason for the wanted notice was that they had stolen confidential intelligence and were identified as enemies of the Peach Blossom Sect.

The specific identity was unknown; the Peach Blossom Sect did not have any information about them beforehand.

Combining various news and intelligence, Liu Xuan was seventy percent sure that An Yunxi had not lied; even if she was not a Disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, she had come from an outside Sect.

"Coming to the island to visit me?"

Liu Xuan pondered for a moment and instructed Wang Yuwan: "Invite her to the Fledgling Eagle Courtyard; I will wait for her there."

A Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, a Peak Foundation Establishment Yao Beast, and still in an injured state—Liu Xuan was skilled and bold; inviting them in was no problem.

If he did not hide his cultivation, Liu Xuan could defeat both of them alone, and there was also the Circumference of Heaven Stars Grand Array on the island; if they really started fighting, neither of them would be able to escape.
