"It's okay," Wang Xiaoqiang said, looking unfazed. "By the way, True Person, you should just stay with the Yans Family and cultivate. Haven't you noticed? The Spiritual Energy here in the Immortal Realm is incredibly dense, probably ten times that of Earth. I think you could reach the Immortal Realm within your lifetime, snatch life from the heavens, and become a true Immortal..."

True Person of Taiyi laughed happily upon hearing this, "Ha-ha, I hope it's just as you say, being able to obtain the body of a True Immortal. But still, Little Qiang, do we really have to go our separate ways... Little Qiang, can you truly not stay with the Yans Family? This world is perilous, and it will be very dangerous for you out there," True Person of Taiyi said worriedly.

"No worries, I want to take a gamble. Don't forget, I still have a ten-year pledge with Yans Ruohong. When the time comes, I intend to marry Yans Biluo openly and aboveboard, uh, no... I mean, take her as a concubine..."

"What..." True Person of Taiyi's face showed a bitter smile, "Yans Ruohong would agree to give his daughter to you as a concubine...?"

"That's up to him. If he loses the bet, he has to accept the outcome. If I win, Yans Biluo will be mine. I can do as I please with her. Frankly speaking, giving her the status of a concubine is already giving the Yans Family a lot of face..."

"Stop talking, this is the Yans Family after all. It wouldn't be good if someone overheard you…" True Person of Taiyi whispered, providing a reminder.

The next day.

Yans Ruohong called Wang Xiaoqiang over. As Wang Xiaoqiang stepped into the Yans Family's main hall and saw Yans Ruohong's resentful gaze fixed on him, he immediately knew his unauthorized visit to the Biluo Courtyard had been discovered.

Without saying much, Yans Ruohong coldly handed Wang Xiaoqiang a letter, telling him, "Here is a personal letter from me. Take this letter, leave the city, and head west. About ten miles away, you will see a large sect—that will be the Five Spirit Sect. Give my letter to the sect's Administrator, and they will accept you into the sect..."

Wang Xiaoqiang took the letter and casually stuffed it into his chest, saying, "Thank you."

Hmph, I hope that you can still stand before me in ten years..." Yans Ruohong's mouth curved into a cold smile. There was a saying in the Immortal Realm, 'Once you enter a sect, it's as deep as the sea; being alive is already good enough, but to make a name for yourself? Unless you have a dual-element Spirit Root, it's hard to get ahead in the Five Spirit Sect.'

"Don't worry, it won't take ten years, at most five, and I'll be back here again. Oh, and Third Miss Yans Biluo is indeed a beauty. I'll take back what I said yesterday. If I can become the Supreme of the Immortal Realm, I hope you'll keep your word and marry her to me..."

Wang Xiaoqiang finished speaking, let out a cold laugh, and strode away.

"You..." Yans Ruohong pointed at Wang Xiaoqiang, his eyes reddening with rage, his body trembling uncontrollably, yet he was helpless to do anything because he had indeed made the promise himself.

Wang Xiaoqiang left the Yans Family and entered the lively street where he discovered that everyone around had some level of cultivation. Even the street peddlers were at the Foundation Establishment Cultivation level, and a child who looked no more than seven or eight years old had already reached the Qi Cultivation Seven Layers; an old man mending shoes with white hair was even at the Late Golden Core Stage.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaoqiang marveled secretly. It really was a world of Immortal Cultivation, completely different from Earth.

After leaving the city and heading west, Wang Xiaoqiang walked on foot, wanting to experience the customs and scenery of the Immortal Realm, which is why he chose not to use Skyflight.

He currently still had 1500 Spiritual Springs released, so he appeared to only have Transformation Cultivation.

About half an hour later, Wang Xiaoqiang arrived at a mountain gate. Before him lay a range of mountains stretching for a thousand miles, and in front of the mountains stood a large sect, spanning thousands of acres, quite enormous. Although the sect's walls were not as high as city walls, an imposing Sealed Sect Great Formation was set up above the sect, making it not just a place anyone could casually enter.

At the front of the sect, the name "Five Spirit Sect" was written in characters as if carved by dragon flying and phoenix dancing.

As he looked at these three characters, Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly remembered that Li Jianyi, whom he had slain, had said before dying that he was a member of the Five Spirit Sect. Pondering this, Wang Xiaoqiang's heart skipped a beat, and he hesitated.

If Li Jianyi really was from the Five Spirit Sect, would they know he was killed by me, Wang Xiaoqiang? And if they knew, would they hold me responsible?

Wang Xiaoqiang was caught in hesitation when he saw two girls, around fifteen or sixteen years old, walking out from the Five Spirit Sect.

With his Divine Sense, Wang Xiaoqiang found out that despite their young age, they were both in the Divinity Transformation Realm. Seeing the sweet smiles on the faces of the two girls, Wang Xiaoqiang's heart stirred, and he stepped forward, cupping his fist in greeting and saying with a smile, "The two young ladies are very gracious... "

When the two girls saw Wang Xiaoqiang offering his respects, they both stopped and stared at him. Noticing that he was also in the Transformation Realm and not bad-looking, they both gave a slight smile and looked down at Wang Xiaoqiang with a condescending gaze, asking, "Are you from the Five Spirit Sect?"

"Ah, no, I'm not from the Five Spirit Sect. I wanted to ask you about someone?" Wang Xiaoqiang said.

Noticing that Wang Xiaoqiang was not from their Sect, the expressions of the two girls grew colder as they asked, "Who do you want to ask about?"

"Have the two of you ever heard of Li Jianyi?"

"Li Jianyi... I don't know him. What's his cultivation base?" Both girls shook their heads.

"Ah, they say he's very talented, and he reached the Transformation Cultivation in his twenties..."

"What? Haha, you're so funny, haha, only reaching Transformation Cultivation in his twenties and he's considered talented... haha..."

"Haha, exactly, I'm dying of laughter, hey, do you really admire Li Jianyi that much? Haha..."

As if they heard the funniest joke in the world, the two girls laughed uproariously, shaking with laughter; they couldn't contain themselves. Eventually, they laughed so hard that tears came out.

Wang Xiaoqiang couldn't help but blush slightly and said, "This is what Li Jianyi himself claimed publicly. He said he was the pride of the Five Spirit Sect..."

"What? The pride of the Sect, oh my goodness, that's too funny! To dare call himself a genius with just a Transformation Cultivation? Then the Five Spirit Sect has no mediocre disciples left, everyone is a genius... haha,"

"Haha, this Li Jianyi really knows how to boast, ah, right, he must have been boasting like this on a lower plane, right?..."

"Ah, he was saying this on Earth," Wang Xiaoqiang said.

"Haha, I guessed it! Indeed, being in one's twenties on Earth might make one a genius, but in the Immortal Realm, that's nothing more than an utterly ordinary talent..."

"Ah, so that's how it is..." Wang Xiaoqiang now felt embarrassed on behalf of Li Jianyi.

"The two young ladies, how should I go about finding Li Jianyi? Oh right, does your Sect Leader perhaps know Li Jianyi?"

"What? Haha..." The two girls laughed again. "You couldn't be Li Jianyi's little brother, could you? Why aren't you using your brain when you speak? How could our Sect Leader possibly know a Divinity Transformation disciple? He's probably an Outer Sect Disciple..."

"Alright, this young lady will tell you – disciples in the Transformation Realm can't enter the Inner Sect, so I think the Li Jianyi you're looking for is likely in the Outer Sect. So if you're looking for Li Jianyi, go to the Outer Sect..." (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote and give monthly passes at Qidian (qidian.com).
