Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant-Chapter 1369 - 34 Yuanci Palace
"Why are there Divinity Transformation cultivators here!?"
The dark depths of the ocean.
Sensing the intensity of the aura from the white-haired cultivator not far away.
Xiang Sirui, Rui Chunqiu, and Qin Lingxiao, who had just exited the underwater tunnel, all underwent a drastic change in expression.
Especially Xiang Sirui.
He had boasted exceedingly just a short while ago, but now he suddenly saw a Divinity Transformation cultivator, feeling nervous and involuntarily turning red-faced with embarrassment.
None of them dared to speak or act rashly, for now, the distinction between friend and foe was unclear, and any action would lead to misunderstandings; instinctively, they looked towards Daoist Yuanci.
And the gaze of Daoist Yuanci was also unusually solemn at this moment.
Quietly circulating his mana while swiftly observing the other party.
"The clothes and decorations seem somewhat similar to Yuchen’s, only they appear more complex and mature."
"I’m not sure if it’s the standard attire of the sect Yuchen belongs to, or a style common in Zhongsheng Continent."
"Cultivation Base... this person seems to also have cultivated the Yuanci Path... Could it be?"
He frowned inwardly.
The information Yuchen had provided before the Truth Membrane Eye beneath the Eightfold Sea was too brief.

Apart from knowing about Yuanci Palace and his wife Li Yuehua, there was almost no other useful information.
The only certainty was that Yuanci Palace should also be considered a major Sect in Zhongsheng Continent and wouldn’t be easily destroyed; otherwise, Yuchen wouldn’t have mentioned just a name without leaving any specific instructions.
But facing this suddenly appeared Divinity Transformation cultivator, Daoist Yuanci would not rashly reveal his purpose.
After all, he was also unclear about the relationship between this person and Yuanci Palace; if they were close, it would be fine, but if they were hostile, that would be a huge problem.
At that moment, thoughts raced through his mind, and he cupped his hands in salute towards the white-haired cultivator who was looking down at them from not far away, his eyes full of scrutiny, yet he remained silent:
"I am a cultivator from Jin in Fenglin Continent, traveling through Little Cang World with friends for many years. We have come here inadvertently and did not mean to intrude. If we offended you, please speak your mind, and we will leave immediately."
Hearing Daoist Yuanci mention coming from Fenglin Continent, the white-haired cultivator slightly furrowed his brows, his eyes showing some concern. After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke:
"You... which Sect from Jin do you belong to? Are the Three Sects and One Clan still in existence?"
His pronunciation was slightly unusual, seemingly with a local accent from Zhongsheng Continent, and he stuttered a bit, making it initially unclear.
However, the four were already listening intently, so they naturally heard him clearly. Hearing the white-haired cultivator’s words, all four exchanged glances, seeing a gleam of joy in each other’s eyes.
They hadn’t expected that the reputation of the Three Sects and One Clan, even far in the overseas Zhongsheng Continent, was known to a Divinity Transformation cultivator, and it seemed that the other party was rather amiable.
Immediately, Xiang Sirui courteously replied with a smile:
"Respected senior, the Three Sects and One Clan indeed exist. The few of us come from there. Does senior perhaps have old ties with any cultivators from Jin?"
Rui Chunqiu also quickly nodded his head with a smile, showing goodwill towards the white-haired cultivator.
The white-haired cultivator remained expressionless:
"I have no old ties. Ten thousand years ago, my ancestors wanted to migrate to Fenglin Continent... but they were driven back by your Three Sects and One Clan."
The smiles froze on both Xiang Sirui’s and Rui Chunqiu’s faces.
Both of them inwardly groaned in frustration.
There was actually such a history; why was it never recorded in our Sect!
Both Daoist Yuanci and Qin Lingxiao also felt their hearts sink.
Before either could react, the white-haired cultivator spoke again calmly:
"However, this is all past history, which I did not experience, and need not discuss further... However, this place does not welcome strangers. If you have no other business, you should leave."
The white-haired cultivator’s speech became even more fluent, with just this short conversation, his accent was already somewhat similar to Daoist Yuanci’s.
Hearing the white-haired cultivator’s words, the four of them felt a moment of relief, but then their expressions grew serious again.
After exchanging glances,
Daoist Yuanci then apologetically said:
"Please forgive us, senior. Earlier, I was not aware of the situation and therefore concealed some facts. We come because of the Yuanci Membrane Eye forming in the sea, which is a great peril. We heard Zhongsheng Continent possesses ’Heavenly Cyan Jade,’ which can neutralize the disaster of Yuanci, so we specifically came to request it. May the senior allow us to travel across the continent to obtain this item?"
The white-haired cultivator, upon hearing this, revealed a light, unsurprised smile:
"I knew you had another purpose, but you can go back now."
Daoist Yuanci and the others were startled upon hearing this, with Rui Chunqiu stepping forward and solemnly reminding:
"Senior, the Yuanci Membrane Eye is not a Void Eye but a True Membrane Eye."
The white-haired cultivator became slightly impatient, but seemingly wary of the reputation of the great Jin Sect behind the four, he held back his impatience and said in a deep voice:
"I do not know how you came to know that the continent produces Heavenly Cyan Jade, but you have come too late. The Heavenly Cyan Jade was mined to exhaustion over a thousand years ago. The families in Zhongsheng Continent still have some reserves, but even we don’t have enough for ourselves. You need not hold any more thoughts; just go back."
"But, senior, you must also be aware of the harm of the True Membrane Eye. Once allowed to expand, I fear that in a few hundred years, the entire Little Cang World will become a wasteland."
Xiang Sirui couldn’t help stepping forward and saying.
The white-haired cultivator grew even more impatient, his tone also growing colder:
"So what? Hundreds of years from now, whether I am in this world is yet unknown... Enough! I am giving face to your Sect by not taking this too far, but if you continue to push your limits, don’t blame me for not giving face to your Sect!"
