Cultivation: I Signed in with the Talent of an Immortal at the Start

Chapter 798: Bottom Line, Nine Profound Palace

Han Xuanji felt the solid sensation beneath his feet and felt much more at ease.

He thought to himself that he certainly wouldn’t be truly unscrupulous.

He had always acted with discretion; “If others do not offend me, I will not offend them” was his bottom line.

However, with those words from Leng Qianshuang, he at least didn’t need to be too concerned, and his confidence was undoubtedly much greater.

This sense of confidence was indeed comforting in a place where the weak were prey to the strong.

Hearing Leng Qianshuang’s words, both Hun Qianling and Li Tiantong felt a stir in their hearts.

Good heavens.

Is this the prestige of a Saint’s disciple?

It would seem so.

If it were back in Qianhun City, although the Hun Family was nominally the hegemon, it had declined significantly and had no substantial difference from other forces.

They still had to be wary and could not act recklessly.

But the Nine Profound Saint Lord was not only powerful enough to suppress a province, but his status was also extremely noble and his background immense. Becoming his disciple meant that one could basically do whatever one wanted within Jiuxuan City.

At this moment, the elite armored guards on both sides of the city gate stood solemnly, their long halberds gleaming with a cold light, their gazes scanning every person entering or leaving the city gate like hawks.

But as soon as they saw Leng Qianshuang, they immediately straightened their posture, bowed respectfully, and said in unison:

“Greetings, Saint Tianshuang!”

Leng Qianshuang nodded and said to Han Xuanji beside her:

“I also manage the three major legions of Jiuxuan City, which can be considered as helping Master share some burdens.”

This really wasn’t because she coveted power, managing the three major legions alone; rather, it was because the Nine Profound Saint Lord acted as a hands-off boss, and many key matters could not be carelessly handed to outsiders, so he had Leng Qianshuang manage more affairs.

“When you reach the level of an Eternal Saint, would you be interested in managing these?”

“No, no.”

Han Xuanji shook his head hurriedly; he didn’t want to manage these things at all.

“Oh.”

Leng Qianshuang felt a little disappointed, but at the same time, she understood Han Xuanji a bit better.

Han Xuanji’s first reaction was to shake his head, which didn’t look like an act at all.

Could it be that he was just like his Master?

With Leng Qianshuang there, naturally no one dared to inspect them, and there was no need to queue.

“This Dao of Time and Space is truly profound. With my current ability, even teleporting a few dozen meters requires external assistance.”

Han Xuanji sighed with emotion.

Eternal Dao Lord Cultivators could almost never perform spatial displacement on their own and all had to rely on divine weapons or Dharma Treasures.

And long-distance transportation like this was very convenient; only Saint-level Cultivators of the Dao of Time and Space could achieve it. Cultivators of this level could also create life-saving items, which were priced extremely high and were in short supply.

“Junior Brother seems to also cultivate the Dao of Time and Space. If you have any confusion in this regard, you can seek me out…”

Leng Qianshuang was also happy to guide Han Xuanji; after all, he was her only Junior Brother.

The two chatted about this and that for a while, while the other two were feeling excited.

And the arrival of the group quickly attracted the attention of all parties.

Leng Qianshuang did not deliberately restrain her aura, nor did she hide her tracks.

She had always been direct in her actions; in Jiuxuan City, no one could make her take a detour.

She led Han Xuanji and the other two towards the city gate at a leisurely pace, her steps calm, as if she had just returned from a long journey.

Many well-informed Cultivators noticed these figures almost immediately, and the sound of discussion rose like a tide.

“Look! Saint Tianshuang is back!”

“Who are those people with her? I have never seen that young man in the green shirt before.”

“Saint Tianshuang deliberately slowed her pace, and looking at her expression… she is actually smiling?”

“Have you ever seen Saint Tianshuang smile? I have lived in Jiuxuan City for three thousand years and have seen her a few times, but I have never seen her be so amiable to anyone!”

“What is the background of that young man? How could he have Saint Tianshuang accompany him personally?”

Amidst the discussion, someone with sharp eyes saw Han Xuanji’s face clearly, suddenly slapped their thigh, and exclaimed involuntarily:

“That is Han Xuanji! The dark horse from Qianhun City who defeated Ling Cang and Song Tiancheng!”

Once these words were spoken, the crowd immediately erupted.

The names of Ling Cang and Song Tiancheng carried great weight among the younger generation of Jiuxuan City; one was the number one person in the Dao of the Sword, and the other was a Genius with an unparalleled Dao Foundation.

Being able to defeat both of these people had already spread among the various forces in Jiuxuan City.

Now that Han Xuanji appeared in Jiuxuan City with Leng Qianshuang by his side, one hardly needed to think about what this meant.

“Saint Tianshuang is the eldest disciple of the Nine Profound Saint Lord… She went to pick someone up personally, could it be…”

“Is he that new disciple the Nine Profound Saint Lord just accepted?!”

“My God… His luck is too good!”

The crowd’s gazes fell squarely on Han Xuanji, filled with surprise, curiosity, and a touch of disbelief.

Because the Nine Profound Saint Lord had always had extremely high standards, and since becoming famous, he had never shown much enthusiasm for taking on disciples.

Although Han Xuanji won against Ling Cang and Song Tiancheng, in the long river of history, such Geniuses had appeared in Jiuxuan City before.

In their view, winning just one Law Conference did not seem enough to make the Nine Profound Saint Lord go to such great lengths.

One had to know that, not to mention her deep background, Leng Qianshuang was already one of the top three existences on the Holy Court Prodigy list when she was young, sweeping across countless Prodigies in several domains without an opponent. The achievements and prestige she attained were among the very best throughout the entire Southern Domain.

Han Xuanji, at best, had only defeated Prodigies from a few provinces, which seemed much inferior by comparison.

But the facts were right before their eyes.

Leng Qianshuang walked side by side with Han Xuanji, deliberately slowing her pace to let Han Xuanji walk shoulder to shoulder with her, rather than walking in front as she would with an ordinary attendant.

This posture was clearly declaring something to everyone in Jiuxuan City.

Some older Cultivators watched this scene silently, already calculating in their hearts whether they should send people to inquire about this young man’s preferences and temperament.

They knew better than those younger disciples that someone who could make the Nine Profound Saint Lord accept a disciple with such fanfare was definitely no ordinary person.

Above a tall building, a blue-haired man watched the movement below, was silent for a moment, and then suddenly smiled:

“The person Saint Tianshuang went to pick up personally, it seems the Ancestor is truly serious this time.”

The tall man beside him did not reply, just stared at the figure in the green shirt below the city gate, his eyes complex and unreadable.

…

Han Xuanji walked on the road outside the city gate, facing those gazes, his pace did not slow down, his expression did not change, he just walked his own path calmly.

He glanced at Leng Qianshuang from the corner of his eye and saw a faint smile on her lips; she was clearly not surprised by this commotion, and it could even be said that it was intentional.

However, Leng Qianshuang also did not like being watched by people all the time, so she snapped her fingers.

The figures of the group instantly arrived at the Nine Profound Palace in Jiuxuan City.
