224: Chapter 224 Goodbye Jacaranda

Inside the majestic and grand golden holy temple.

Numerous Shuiyue Holy Land Cultivators prostrated themselves on the ground; Nan Yin, Sword Venerable Kaiyang, and other Elders and Old Ancestors also bowed respectfully.

The Holy Lord of Water Moon Holy Land was entirely shrouded in brilliant immortal light, her peerless, world-toppling beauty faintly visible as her deep, boundless gaze quietly fixed upon Ji Taichang.

Ji Taichang tensed up, his heart pounding, feeling an immense pressure!

Fortunately, the Holy Lord of Water Moon Holy Land soon retracted her gaze and spoke in a gentle, soft voice: "A fine sprout. Little Nan Yin, you have good luck; this boy has the potential for Immortal Ascension."

"Take this; it is my meeting gift to you."

The Holy Lord of Water Moon Holy Land raised her hand, and a silver precious sword appeared before Ji Taichang, its cold glint piercing and its powerful aura circulating.

This was unexpectedly a High Grade Magic Treasure!!

[Ding! Ling Qinghan's favorability has increased by 5 points]

[Ling Qinghan's favorability: 5 (There will be a surprise when favorability reaches 100!)]

"Thank you, Holy Lord, for the treasure!"

Ji Taichang showed a look of joy and respectfully accepted the precious sword.

He had thought Ling Qinghan would make things difficult for him, but he hadn't expected her to praise him in public and even bestow a High Grade Magic Treasure sword!

How is this a final boss? She's clearly a kind and understanding big sister...

"Wh-what? Potential for Immortal Ascension?!"

"Who?? Him?"

Ling Qinghan's words left the many Cultivators present stunned, their faces filled with disbelief as their gazes all snapped toward Ji Taichang!

One must know that Ling Qinghan was the most brilliant and talented Mahayana Stage powerhouse of the Shuiyue Holy Land, with the deepest cultivation and strength!

Even for the current generation's Saint and Saintess of the Shuiyue Holy Land, Ling Qinghan had never offered a single word of praise, merely saying they were average!

Yet, upon seeing Ji Taichang for the first time, she actually said he had the potential for Immortal Ascension!

This was the highest praise in the world of Cultivation!!

Immortal Ascension was the ultimate goal that countless Cultivators yearned for but could never attain!

Ji Taichang was just a Disciple taken in by Nan Yin; aside from being somewhat strikingly handsome, he didn't look like anything special. How could he deserve such praise from Ling Qinghan??

Even Nan Yin was slightly taken aback and said, "The Holy Lord overpraises him. His Aptitude is indeed decent, but it's not yet enough to speak of a potential for Immortal Ascension."

Ling Qinghan only gave a light chuckle and didn't explain anything; her figure simply flickered as she left the place, coming and going like the wind.

The group of Shuiyue Holy Land Old Ancestors, Elders, and Disciples looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Hahaha, congratulations, little friend! To receive the praise and bounty of the Holy Lord is truly something even this old man envies!"

"Little friend Ji clearly shows extraordinary talent and divine valor... I wonder, where does little friend hail from?"

"Is little friend married? Ahem, I have a few Disciples in the prime of their youth, eighteen years of age..."

With a sudden rush, Ji Taichang was quickly surrounded by numerous Cultivators.

Everyone had warm smiles on their faces, pulling Ji Taichang into pleasantries, with many using a tone that was clearly meant to curry favor!

Even though they didn't know what specific talents Ji Taichang possessed.

But Ji Taichang was the only Personal Disciple of Nan Yin, a Body Integration Stage Old Ancestor, and had received Ling Qinghan's praise and reward; his future achievements would be limitless!

For such a Prodigy, they naturally wanted to win him over.

"Everyone overpraises me..."

Ji Taichang also showed a hearty smile, turning no one away and warmly chatting with these core Cultivators of the Shuiyue Holy Land; at the very least, he could become a familiar face.

After all, the Jianghu isn't just about fighting and killing; it's about worldly wisdom!

Having more friends is always a good thing.

A long time later.

The many enthusiastic Cultivators finally began to disperse.

Ji Taichang followed Nan Yin to her residence, a beautiful mountain peak located deep within the Shuiyue Holy Land, which was Nan Yin's exclusive Dao Field.

Nan Yin only had Ji Taichang as her sole Disciple, so Ji Taichang could freely choose a place to build an Immortal Cave to live in.

The result went without saying; Ji Taichang built his Immortal Cave directly next to Nan Yin's!

Ji Taichang had originally wanted to chat with Nan Yin to get closer to her.

But Nan Yin had a cold personality; seeing that Ji Taichang wasn't asking about matters of Cultivation but was instead chatting about everything under the sun, she went directly back to her Immortal Cave to enter secluded Cultivation.

Ji Taichang rubbed his chin and soon thought of a person.

"Where did that girl Lan Huaying go?"

Ji Taichang was still thinking about that tall and curvaceous beauty!

After asking around, Ji Taichang quickly found Lan Huaying's Immortal Cave.

It turned out that Lan Huaying had recently been in seclusion to comprehend a Cultivation Technique, not stepping out of her doors.

However, Lan Huaying's Revered Master, the Eighteenth Elder of the Shuiyue Holy Land, upon learning that Ji Taichang was looking for Lan Huaying, immediately helped enthusiastically, sending a message directly to Lan Huaying to wake her up.

With a "rumbling" sound, the heavy stone door of the Immortal Cave slowly opened.

Lan Huaying was not wearing her signature Black Profound Armor, but was instead dressed in a simple black dress; though the dress was somewhat loose, it could hardly hide those proud curves, stretching the collar until it was somewhat deformed.

Her face was free of makeup, yet it was still exceedingly beautiful.

Perhaps because she had been an Empress Dowager for twenty years, she carried a dignified and elegant noble temperament, like a mother of the world.

"Eh?"

"Fellow Daoist Ji? You... how could you be here?"

Upon seeing Ji Taichang, a look of surprise and joy immediately appeared on Lan Huaying's face.

Ji Taichang said with a beaming smile, "I missed you, so I made a special trip to see you."

As soon as these words were spoken.

The Eighteenth Elder on the side had his eyes light up suddenly, looking somewhat pleasantly surprised!

Ji Taichang was a peerless Prodigy who had received the Holy Lord's praise and bounty; could he actually be involved with his own Disciple??

This was a good thing!

[Ding! Lan Huaying's favorability has increased by 2 points]

[Lan Huaying's favorability: 54 (A surprise will occur when favorability reaches 100!)]

"Is that so?"

"For Fellow Daoist Ji to take time out of his busy schedule to see me, I am truly overwhelmed by the favor."

Although Lan Huaying's tone was calm, the slight upward curve of her lips showed that her mood was quite good.

Seeing that Lan Huaying's reaction was somewhat plain, the Eighteenth Elder at the side hurriedly said, "Huahua, you don't know, Little Friend Ji has already joined the sect under Old Ancestor Nan Yin. Not only has he become Old Ancestor Nan Yin's sole Personal Disciple, but he also received the Holy Lord's praise and bounty..."

The Eighteenth Elder detailed everything that had happened in the holy temple.

After Lan Huaying finished listening, her eyes widened quite a bit, and she felt her head buzzing, no different from the reaction of the other Shuiyue Holy Land Cultivators at the time.

Although she had long known that Fellow Daoist Ji's Aptitude was extraordinary, having sensed Ji Taichang's fearsomeness when she fought alongside him before.

But when Lan Huaying learned that Ji Taichang had been praised by that legendary Holy Lord as having the "potential for Immortal Ascension," her heart couldn't help but be shaken.

The way she looked at Ji Taichang became somewhat different.

People are naturally drawn to the strong, and she was no exception!
