Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 828: Chapter 828: Shrine of Chinese Jade in the Western Regions (3rd Update) Chapter 828: Chapter 828: Shrine of Chinese Jade in the Western Regions (3rd Update) The red-clad woman’s heart trembled, and she couldn’t help but ask, “May I know where the bracelet you are wearing on your wrist comes from, miss?”

An Yan was slightly startled, raised her hand to look, and couldn’t help laughing, “Are you talking about this? It was a gift from a friend.”

The red-clad woman took a deep breath, “May I dare to ask if this friend’s surname is Bai?”

An Yan nodded, “Yes! Is there a problem?”

Upon confirmation, the red-clad woman’s heart quivered, and she secretly rejoiced.

It was indeed so.

Lucky for her to have paid close attention, or else it could have been troublesome.

This red-clad woman was named Gan Jing, and the purple-clad young girl was her junior sect sister, named Shui Min; both were from Guiyi in the Western Regions, belonging to the Hua Yu Sect.

And the place where the auction guild was most powerful happened to be in Guiyi of the Western Regions as well.

If that were all, it wouldn’t be enough to make Gan Jing take such notice.

But their sect was different from the other sects.

The reason they were called Hua Yu Sect was that their Sect was known for producing Jade Seals and Jade Slips.

For a cultivator who specializes in talismans, a good Jade Seal could enhance their abilities significantly.

And the use of Jade Slips was even greater.

The transfer of Cultivation Techniques between sects and the recording of various deeds all required Jade Slips to complete.

It was because of this that Hua Yu Sect was so wealthy.

But also because of this, the auction guild was extremely important to Hua Yu Sect.

Because at least eighty percent of the Jade Seals and Jade Slips produced by Hua Yu Sect each year were bought by the auction guild.

It could be said that without the auction guild, the sect’s economy of Hua Yu Sect would collapse instantly.

Therefore, when Gan Jing heard An Yan say that she was friends with Bai Qing’er, her attitude changed dramatically in an instant.

“So you’re a friend of Bai from the auction guild. We have been quite impolite just now; I am truly, deeply sorry!”

As she spoke, Gan Jing pulled her junior Shui Min along to bow and apologize to Xue An and the others.

This attitude left Mu Ya with nothing to say.

An Yan blinked, somewhat baffled, but after all, she came from a noble family and could handle such small scenes with ease.

“Alright, stand up! Just be careful in the future.”

Gan Jing then straightened up.

At this moment, An Yan turned to leave.

Gan Jing hurriedly called after her, “Miss, please wait!”

“Hmm? Is there anything else?” An Yan asked indifferently.

Gan Jing’s face was full of sincerity as she said, “Since you are a friend of someone from the auction guild, you are also a distinguished guest of our Hua Yu Sect. If you don’t mind, please come aboard for a chat to express our apologies.”

An Yan frowned slightly; she didn’t know these people and naturally didn’t want to go.

“I don’t think that’s necessary,” she said.

“Miss, if the guild knew that we let a friend of theirs go just like that, they would definitely blame us. So please come aboard, even if just to have a cup of tea!”

An Yan looked uncertainly at Xue An.

Xue An nodded slightly.

An Yan then reluctantly agreed, “Alright then!”

And so they all boarded the grand ship of the Hua Yu Sect.

Only after boarding the ship could they appreciate the ship’s luxury and vastness.

The two young girls were looking around curiously, deeply interested in everything.

Meanwhile, Gan Jing ushered An Yan into the cabin.

And someone was ready to serve them fine tea.

But all of Gan Jing’s attentiveness and enthusiasm were directed at An Yan.

In her view, An Yan was clearly the core of the entire team.

As for Xue An and that Mu Ya.

They were nothing more than a lackey and a little maid, that’s all.

Therefore, the atmosphere had become somewhat awkward.

At least An Yan felt as if she were sitting on pins and needles.

But after a round of enthusiastic hospitality,

The grand ship of the Hua Yu Temple actually did not leave, but instead followed right behind the crane carriage toward Blood Web Mountain.

Moreover, along the way, Gan Jing would occasionally invite An Yan over for a sit-down.

As the saying goes, “one does not slap the hand extended in friendly gesture,” and after a couple of exchanges, their relationship gradually warmed up.

However, from start to finish, whether it was Gan Jing or her junior sister Shui Min, they both ignored Xue An as if he were invisible.

Especially Shui Min, who occasionally looked towards Xue An with a somewhat contemptuous expression.

Because in her view,

This “good-for-nothing” man was probably a freeloader.

Xue An, however, just smiled at this and couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to such a pair of sycophantic sisters.

And he even intentionally told An Yan not to reveal the truth to these two sisters.

Soon,

They had already crossed through most of the Central Region, where mountains increasingly clustered, and the terrain rose gradually. After advancing a bit further, they suddenly came across a high plateau, which soared up into the clouds yet was immensely vast.

At this moment, they were all aboard the grand ship of the Hua Yu Temple.

Upon entering the high plateau, small carriages like the crane carriage could no longer withstand the strong fluctuations of Spiritual Energy, so Xue An and the others boarded the grand ship.

“After passing through this cloud mist, it’s considered entering the control area of Blood Web Mountain, though people are accustomed to calling this place the Origin Domain,” Mu Ya explained.

Xue An was noncommittal, standing at the bow of the ship, his gaze seemingly piercing through the layers of mist, as if he glimpsed everything within.

Suddenly,

The mist before his eyes dispersed, and everything became crystal clear.

They saw before them an endless highland.

On this highland, there were rare flowers and herbs, ancient woods, and even scattered mountains with Spirit Waterfalls cascading down from their peaks. The mist of Spiritual Energy droplets, splashed by the waterfalls and lit by the sunlight, formed rainbows, a sight too marvelous for words.

And the abundance of Spiritual Energy in this world was several levels higher than that of the outside world.

Even without deliberately breathing it in, the Spiritual Energy would compete to enter through your pores, making one feel refreshed and comfortably invigorated.

Such a blessed land inspired even Xue An to nod slightly in approval.

For only such a place could nurture powerful Sects.

And at this time, in the sky above the Origin Domain, lights crisscrossed as Flying Boats covered the heavens, and countless Cultivators arriving made the area even more lively.

At that moment, a voice resonated with a slight chill echoed through heaven and earth.

“All Cultivators who have come to attend the Grand Celebration of Inquisition, please proceed to the Ancient Immortal Stage!”

The statement lacked excessive authority, yet it sounded in every Cultivator’s ears and resonated in their hearts.

The natural dominance that emanated from it shook many Cultivators.

“It must be the Lady Xuan Yue!”

“Right, only Xuan Yue, who ranks fourth on the List of True Inquiry, would possess such formidable strength!”

“Indeed worthy of the grand Sect Yuan, just this display of power from Lady Xuan Yue is enough to show their might.”

The Cultivators exclaimed in admiration and then collectively headed towards the Ancient Immortal Stage.

This Ancient Immortal Stage was located in the middle of the Origin Domain.

It is said that in ancient times, an extraordinary powerhouse had pondered the Dao here, eventually touching upon Great Luo and achieving the status of an immortal sovereign, hence the name.

Past Grand Celebrations of Inquisition and various other grand events were also held here.

As numerous Cultivators arrived, the expanse of the Ancient Immortal Stage became apparent.
