625: Chapter 625 Taoist Companion

The only problem was, faced with such massive profits, how greedy would Daoist Yin-Yang be, and how much blood would she want to suck from it?

Liu Xuan passed through numerous small islands, wandering toward the central Yin-Yang Island. He did not continue to bring out the great sun flying boat for auction; business matters would be handled by specialized personnel from the Merchant Alliance, and it was enough for him to have a general understanding.

Adjusting his mindset to that of a tourist, Liu Xuan strolled along, buying various novelties he had never seen before. Before he even reached the main Yin-Yang Island, the 190,000 Spirit Stones he had earned from the auction were already spent.

"The Joyous Union Sect truly deserves its reputation as a top-tier Sect passed down from ancient times. The grand Formation here is at least Low Grade Tier 5; even I cannot see through it!"

As a top-tier Tier 4 Formation Great Master, Liu Xuan could naturally see that the layout of the entire Yin-Yang Archipelago was not simple.

The grand Formation here was the highest-level one he had encountered so far, so advanced that it exceeded his range of understanding. The more he looked, the more profound and mysterious he found it.

"An ancient great Sect, even if it has declined today, possesses a foundation that cannot be compared to newly ascended Daoist Lords like Daoist Lord Lihuo or Yao Race members like Demon Saint Xuanyu!"

With Daoist Yin-Yang at the Middle Stage of Soul Transformation, coupled with the support of such a grand Formation, unless a region-wide war were triggered, even a Great Cultivator at the Late Stage of Soul Transformation could do nothing to her.

"Lizhi and Xiaowan did not lie; this Joyous Union Sect is indeed somewhat Yin-dominant and Yang-deficient!"

The closer he got to the main Yin-Yang Island, the higher the overall cultivation level of the Cultivators on the surrounding small islands, and the number of female Cultivators also increased.

Not only were there many female Cultivators, but their overall appearance was exceptionally high. Perhaps due to the nourishment of the water-type Spiritual Vein, they were all fair, tender, and very alluring.

Liu Xuan was handsome and refined, with an extraordinary bearing. Although his cultivation aura was restrained, one could tell at a glance that he was not an ordinary bottom-tier Cultivator.

Along the way, he attracted the attention of countless female Cultivators. While on the outer islands, everyone was afraid to approach due to the disparity in status, but after nearing the main Yin-Yang Island, many female Cultivators who considered themselves to have extraordinary backgrounds gathered their courage to come forward and harass him.

"Young Master, where are you from? Why haven't I seen you before? Would you like to come to my place to play?"

"Young Master, may I ask if you are also a Disciple of the Yin-Yang Branch of the Joyous Union Sect?"

"Young Master, may I ask if you have a Dao Companion?"

"Young Master..."

At first, Liu Xuan was in high spirits. Seeing that the young ladies were also quite pretty, he chatted with them, treating it as experiencing the local customs.

But as more and more people crowded around, Liu Xuan gradually became annoyed and had to ask Jiang Yan to turn them away.

Having passed through a hundred flowers, Liu Xuan's standards were now exaggeratedly high. He could not tolerate even the slightest flaw on a young lady. Even if her appearance and figure were top-tier, if there was anything about her speech or personality that he disliked, he would immediately eliminate her.

"Perhaps this is the price of growth!"

Human greed has no upper limit. Once you get something good, you want something better, and once you get something better, you want something even better. There is never an upper limit.

Therefore, if you want to live comfortably, you must be content... Content my ass!

"The greatest pleasure in this world is that there is no upper limit. Continuously satisfying one's greed is the greatest enjoyment and the meaning of life!"

Just as Jiang Yan was about to be unable to withstand the enthusiasm of countless female Cultivators toward Liu Xuan, Yin Lizhi finally returned.

"Husband, Revered Master has agreed to see you."

Liu Xuan nodded slightly and followed Yin Lizhi as they flew toward the central palace of the main Yin-Yang Island.

Halfway there, Liu Xuan asked Yin Lizhi via voice transmission: "You told Revered Master the general situation, right? How was her attitude?"

"This concubine does not know!" Yin Lizhi said, frowning. "Revered Master had no expression after hearing it, nor did she give any instructions. I couldn't tell anything."

Daoist Yin-Yang had always been indifferent and preferred quiet. Although Yin Lizhi was her Disciple, they did not have much intimate contact.

"Fine!"

Liu Xuan was not particularly worried; the worst-case result would just be the loss of one body, which was not a big problem!

Before long, Yin Lizhi led Liu Xuan to the base of a huge black tall building.

The entire tall building was pitch black, surrounded by water mist and Spiritual Qi. One could not see the details inside, only vaguely see two large seal-script characters on the plaque—Xuanyin.

Yin Lizhi waited with Liu Xuan downstairs for a while, then said to Liu Xuan: "Revered Master just sent a voice transmission instructing you to go in alone."

"Go in alone?"

Liu Xuan did not understand what Daoist Yin-Yang meant, but he was highly skilled and bold, so he nodded slightly and then flew toward the roof of the building.

Passing through the water mist barrier, his vision suddenly became clear. Unlike ordinary tall buildings, the roof was a platform engraved with complex Formation patterns. There was no dome above, only a layer of transparent barrier.

At the edge of the high platform, Liu Xuan only saw the back of a woman facing away from him.

She had a slender figure and wore a long, ink-colored dress that trailed on the ground, as if draped in the deepest night sky. Fine silver patterns flowed and flickered, appearing and disappearing like the shifting of stars and time.

Just by looking at her back, Liu Xuan was somewhat dazed. A quiet, mysterious, and special temperament fascinated him.

Secretly swallowing, Liu Xuan's eyes instantly regained clarity. He cupped his hands in a salute toward the figure and said loudly: "Disciple Liu Xuan, pays respects to Revered Master!"

Didn't Yin Lizhi say that Daoist Yin-Yang called him the Saint of the Joyous Union Sect? Since that was the case, why not skip the apprenticeship and just acknowledge his identity?

Upon hearing this, the woman slowly turned around, revealing a peerless face that resembled the moon in the sky.

Her skin was as white and lustrous as jade, exquisite and peerless, without a trace of worldly vulgarity. Her eyes were bright and profound, as if they contained an eternal night sky.

Cold, mysterious, supreme... Her beauty transcended the scope of ordinary language, reaching a profound Realm that could only be understood, not described.

"Fellow Daoist, you are joking!" Daoist Yin-Yang smiled slightly. "My real name is Jiang Xingwan; you may call me Xingwan."

The beauty smiled, like clouds parting to reveal the moon. Even though Liu Xuan had extraordinary composure, he was almost bewitched by her.

"I dare not!" Liu Xuan cupped his hands and said solemnly: "You are the noble Daoist Yin-Yang; how would this Junior dare to address you by your name directly?"

"Since you do not acknowledge me as your Disciple, I shall still address you as Daoist Yin-Yang!"

Jiang Xingwan slowly paced to a chair nearby and leaned back. Her tone was gentle with a hint of laziness. "Daoist Yin-Yang is just an honorific used by my Disciples; Fellow Daoists in the outside world all call me Xuanyin."

"The situation in the Southern Border and the purpose of your trip, Lizhi has already explained clearly to me. I wonder if there is anything else to add?"

Daoist Lord Xuanyin's attitude was excessively good. Not only was Liu Xuan not happy, but his vigilance was greatly heightened.

After pondering for a moment, he summoned his courage and explained the whole matter of wanting to form an alliance with the Joyous Union Sect.

"Senior Daoist Yin-Yang, I currently have a background with the Beast Taming Sect in the Southern Border, have the assistance of Peach Blossom Demon Lord, and also have connections with the Ghost King Lian Yue Ghost King of the Black Death Marsh. Our alliance would definitely be mutually beneficial, with immense advantages!"

Jiang Xingwan patiently listened to Liu Xuan explain the various pros and cons, not speaking a word throughout. After Liu Xuan finished, she smiled and said:

"An alliance is no problem, and I agree to the profit sharing you mentioned, but I have one condition."

"What condition? Please tell me!"

Jiang Xingwan stared intently at Liu Xuan's eyes, her voice as crisp as colliding glass.

"I want you to be my Dao Companion!"
