"It is said that in the Flowerfruit Sect, those who reach the Foundation Establishment Realm before the age of fifty are only outer sect disciples. Only those who reach the Foundation Establishment Realm before the age of thirty are considered inner sect disciples."
"As for those who reach the Foundation Establishment Realm before the age of twenty, they are qualified to become core or even true disciples!"
"Not only that, but it's also said that Holy Son Gu Chi of the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land has already reached the Nascent Soul Realm under the master's guidance. He's quite powerful, and he has surpassed many Nascent Soul Realm cultivators already."
The fat and skinny cultivators were still talking to each other.
Murong Zhenyang felt his head buzzing, and his mind was a mess.
What was Ning Caichen capable of to make the Flowerfruit Sect so grand?
Next, Murong Zhenyang followed the two of them to a market. They saw all kinds of rare treasures, and there were all kinds of pills of all grades.
Moreover, these pills were of the highest quality!
"My goodness, in the past, any one of these pills would have been priceless. Even some aristocratic families and nobles would not have the fortune to enjoy them! But over here, they're in abundance, and they're so cheap as well!"
Murong Zhenyang had to admit that he was envious. If he had so many pills to support him, his cultivation would have already advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm or even higher.
"I must join the Flowerfruit Sect!"
Murong Zhenyang lowered his head and asked, "May I ask what I should do to join the Flowerfruit Sect?"
"It's very simple. You only need to go to the outer sect of the Flowerfruit Sect to participate in the entrance assessment. If your aptitude is strong, you may even enter the inner sect directly!"
Murong Zhenyang's lips twitched when he heard this.
What a joke!
He was now at the peak of the Golden Core Realm and was less than two hundred years old. He had to at least become a core disciple and even surpass Gu Chi to become the chief disciple of the Flowerfruit Sect!
"Alright, I won't trouble you two anymore. I'll take my leave first!"
He left in a hurry, wanting to join the Flowerfruit Sect as soon as possible.
What Murong Zhenyang did not know was that not long after he left, the fat and skinny cultivators paused for a moment before quickly returning to their true forms. It was actually Gu Chi and Sha Luo.
"He has fallen into a trap. That's Murong Zhenyang, a descendant of the Murong royal family and one of the masters of the General's Tomb. He is an extraordinary figure. If we can let him join the Flowerfruit Sect, it will be of great benefit to the master's strength!" Gu Chi said slowly. He was now a genuine Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, so he naturally did not see Murong Zhenyang as an equal.
Sha Luo nodded in agreement. "Master has thought of this possibility and has been arranging people to monitor all movements in the General's Tomb. Otherwise, when Murong Zhenyang walked out of the General's Tomb, we would have had no idea that this was him!"
"He thinks that he's tricked us, but he doesn't know that he's the one who's been tricked!"
"Master is so wise. How can a bunch of rascals defeat him!"
The two of them laughed at each other as if Murong Zhenyang and the others were a joke.
Very quickly, the two of them disappeared. They were going to return to the Flowerfruit Sect to assume other identities and fool Murong Zhenyang again.
After all, the mission that Ning Caichen gave them was…
"Make Murong Zhenyang forget his responsibilities and become a genuine member of the Flowerfruit Sect, and completely ruin Murong Beiyan's plans of revival!"
* * *
Jiang Ming soon received a reply, and he could not help but smile.
"As you expected, Murong Beiyan has indeed made his move. I have to thank you for this. Without you, we wouldn't have been able to trap Murong Zhenyang."
He looked at the middle-aged man opposite him with a playful expression and a smile.
The middle-aged man was silent for a long time. He was a member of the Gongye Saint Sect. He had come here to cooperate, but he was forced by the other party to foresee the General's Tomb's movements.
This was a huge task!
This big shot from the Gongye Saint Sect had almost died to foresee that Northern Yan's Murong Beiyan had regained his glory despite having a Soul Formation Realm cultivation base.
Logically speaking, he should have left, but Wu Ming's pressure behind him was so strong that he did not dare to move.
"I can't believe I have been reduced to this. It's all because of Master Jiu!"
Gongye Long smiled bitterly but did not dare to blame Gongye Jiu.
He knew very well that although Gongye Jiu was scheming against him and the Gongye Saint Sect, he was mostly thinking of the Gongye Saint Sect's long-term benefits.
"Master Jiu has always believed that you are the person who will resolve the crisis of the Feather Kingdom and that you are the person who will determine its future. Therefore, I am willing to read your fortune. However, you have to keep your promise and allow the Gongye Saint Sect to merge with the Flowerfruit Sect and form a faction of its own!"
Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows slightly.
If it was just joining the Flowerfruit Sect, he would not have said anything. However, if they wanted to join and form their own sect, they had to pay a price.
"Alright, but you still owe me nine trigrams… Don't worry, I will help you reach the Deity Transformation Realm and ensure that you can live longer. After all, if you die, I won't have a reliable expert in clairvoyance by my side. You are an important figure in the Flowerfruit Sect, so I naturally won't treat you badly," Jiang Ming said calmly. His words made the other party tremble.
"Master Ning, why do you insist on becoming enemies with Northern Yan's Murong Family? They won't be able to hold on for long and are destined to be annihilated by the Mo family, the royal family of the Feather Kingdom, and the other countries. If you have so much time to spare, why don't you consider how to deal with the Immortal Feather Grotto-Heaven, the Mo family, and the royal family of the Feather Kingdom… Besides, you must have other responsibilities on your shoulders."
Gongye Long stared at Jiang Ming. "Outside the city, a grotto-heaven will be born around South Moon City. It is the place that Master Jiu foresaw. It's also an important strategic location that I hope that you can take down, but Master Ning, you don't seem to care!"
Gongye Long's words made Wu Ming frown slightly. He immediately took a step forward.
"Wu Ming."
Jiang Ming called for Wu Ming and turned his gaze to Gongye Long.
"Chief Long, don't worry. I'll definitely make a trip to the South Moon Grotto-heaven, but not now. If I'm not wrong, all the forces, especially the Immortal Feather Grotto-Heaven, are making a move. Logically speaking, the three grotto-heavens and the six blessed lands will not participate in this matter, but Mo Lingche will not let go of this opportunity. After all, it is an opportunity to control me. Secondly, we have to further consolidate the foundation of the Flowerfruit Sect and not let our influence expand further."
