“You two must be Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, correct? I am Yan Wushuang, a Supreme Elder of Hidden Sword Palace, just like Senior Brother Earth Walker,” said the spirited woman, introducing herself to Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan before Earth Walker could speak.
“I have long heard of your feats, particularly how you, as Golden Core cultivators, defeated the Level 5 Black Wind Demon Emperor. It’s truly an honor to meet you both in person,” she said with genuine admiration and courtesy, displaying none of the arrogance one might expect from a top Nascent Soul force’s Supreme Elder.
Her straightforward and unpretentious demeanor quickly endeared her to Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, who hurriedly returned her formal greetings.
Earth Walker chimed in, “Fellow Daoist Jiang, Fellow Daoist Shen, Junior Sister Yan had planned to join me in congratulating you at your state-establishing ceremony.
Unfortunately, she was tied up with a Nascent Soul demonic cultivator appearing in the state of Yu at the time and missed the event.
Hearing that you’ve come to Hidden Sword Palace for the Trade Fair, she insisted on meeting you both first.”
After some polite exchanges, Earth Walker and Yan Wushuang led Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan to the location of the Trade Fair.
Arriving at the venue, they found it already bustling with numerous Nascent Soul cultivators, easily more than a dozen.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan did not recognize most of them, which wasn’t surprising considering their recent advancement to Nascent Soul.
Before this, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators they had come into contact with could be counted on one hand.
Some of them were even their enemies.
For example, the Nascent Souls of the Cao and Lu families.
However, the Nascent Souls of these two families did not seem to be present today.
Of course, it was also possible that they had not arrived yet.
“Let me introduce you to some of the cultivators present,” Earth Walker and Yan Wushuang communicated with Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan through voice transmission.
The couple naturally did not refuse.
Earth Walker mentioned the cultivators around him: “To your far left is Perfected Lord Star Sea from the Astral Sect of the state of Kang, an expert in the art of star movement.
To your right is Daoist Mystic River, an independent cultivator adept in water-element divine powers and spells.
And directly in front of you is Perfected Lord Flowing Snow from the Snow Sect of the state of Lan, known as the White-Haired Fairy.”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan glanced around and saw the mentioned cultivators.
Indeed.
Perfected Lord Flowing Snow, with her striking white hair, appeared ethereally beautiful yet unapproachable cold.
At this moment.
Under the guidance of Earth Walker and Yan Wushuang, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan took their seats.
Since Earth Walker and Yan Wushuang had other matters to attend to, they left after advising them on some aspects of the trade fair.
Suddenly, Perfected Lord Star Sea approached them. Wearing a star-patterned robe, he exuded an air of refined elegance.
“I am Daoist Star Sea, from the Astral Sect in the state of Kang. I believe this is your first time at Hidden Sword Palace’s trade fair. May I know how to address you both?” he said, introducing himself with a smile.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, appreciating Perfected Lord Star Sea’s initiative, introduced themselves. He responded with a nod, “Ah, friends from the state of Jiang, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”
As they conversed, the couple learned that this was Perfected Lord Star Sea’s fourth time attending the trade fair held by Hidden Sword Palace.
He had always managed to exchange for items he needed, which raised the couple’s expectations for the event.
At that moment, another cultivator in blue garments entered.
Exuding the spiritual pressure of a mid-stage Nascent Soul Perfected Lord, he caught everyone’s attention.
Perfected Lord Star Sea informed them, “That’s Pei Daoqi, a Supreme Elder of Mingzhen Sect in the state of Yu. He’s reportedly seeking a spiritual item to break through to the late-stage Nascent Soul.”
“Mingzhen Sect’s Supreme Elder?” Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan took a closer look at him.
They recalled encountering two Golden Core Elders, Daoist Guang Xuan and Shao Liang, from Mingzhen Sect at a certain ruin in the past.
Noticing their gaze, Pei Daoqi looked over, instantly exerting an invisible pressure on the couple
