Chapter 2205: Chapter 728: True Spirit 9 Transformations, Meeting the Great Palace Master! (Part 3)
Today, she was not wearing a light veil hat, her dark and beautiful hair was gently tied up, and her exquisite cheeks were flawless, just the right amount of softness, captivating in beauty.
“Greetings, Third Palace Master.”
Lu Changsheng gazed at Shen Yiren in front of him, not hiding the amazement in his eyes, and even deliberately showing a bit of it, then bowed with cupped hands.
After all, he wished to become a perfect match with this Third Palace Master, and naturally needed to send out some signals.
“Daoist Xuanmu.”
Shen Yiren gracefully returned the salute to Lu Changsheng, her voice gentle and fitting.
“Third Palace Master, is there any news of my disciple?”
After inviting Shen Yiren into the small courtyard, Lu Changsheng asked eagerly, filled with anticipation.
“Daoist Xuanmu, according to our Goddess Palace’s search, there is currently no whereabouts of your disciple, though we have obtained some information.”
Shen Yiren said somewhat apologetically, then reached out her white hand and handed a jade slip to Lu Changsheng.
“Thank you, Third Palace Master!”
Lu Changsheng had anticipated this, was mentally prepared, but still took the jade slip to view it.
The information inside was not much.
It only mentioned situations of his son Lu Quanzhen staying temporarily on several islands in the Starry Sky Sea years ago.
“Daoist Xuanmu suspects that your disciple entered the Kunpeng Nest Secret Realm. My second sister had previously entered this realm, so when she returns, I will inquire on your behalf.”
Seeing Lu Changsheng’s earlier anticipation, joy, and eagerness, Shen Yiren understood the anxiety and discomfort of having an apprentice wander away with whereabouts unknown, and comforted him softly.
“Thank you, Third Palace Master, for troubling you so much. I really feel uneasy, so here are some talismans I personally drew, please accept them, Third Palace Master.”
Lu Changsheng took out a talisman box he had prepared from his storage ring and handed it to Shen Yiren.
The talismans inside were meticulously drawn by him. Although they were only of the Third Rank Superior Grade, they were not only rare in effect but also premium talismans, suitable for talisman masters to copy, showcasing his talisman-making skill.
According to his analysis, Shen Yiren was definitely someone who didn’t take advantage, and would choose to reciprocate, building a mutual exchange over time.
“Daoist Xuanmu is too kind. You have already assisted our Goddess Palace, and one of them is even my master-niece. Such kindness cannot be repaid with gifts.”
Shen Yiren spoke with sincerity immediately.
“These are just a token from me, otherwise I’d remain uneasy.”
Lu Changsheng also showed a sincere expression, as if he were someone who never wanted to take undue advantage.
“Since that’s the case, I will accept it.”
Seeing Lu Changsheng’s genuine sincerity, Shen Yiren knew that if she didn’t accept it, he might always remember it in his heart and intended to reciprocate the gesture later with a gift of her own.
“Daoist Xuanmu, I came here also for something else. A few days ago, my elder sister happened to come out of seclusion. I told her about you, and she intends to have a face-to-face conversation with you. Are you available now?”
Shen Yiren continued to say to Lu Changsheng, her voice warm and gentle, very pleasant to the ear.
“A conversation?”
Lu Changsheng paused for a moment, knowing that entering the major force of the Fourth Rank Spirit Vein required passing the test of a Nascent Soul True Lord.
Though he hadn’t planned to rent the Fourth Rank Spiritual Land of the Goddess Palace, becoming an Honored Guest at the palace would bring many conveniences.
It was highly likely that the sister Shen Yiren mentioned was the palace master of the Goddess Palace, Great Palace Master Shen Jianjia.
As one of the top cultivators of the Starry Sky Sea, Lu Changsheng didn’t know if his disguise could fool her.
“Is the Third Palace Master referring to the Great Palace Master?”
Lu Changsheng asked with a tone of respect.
“Mm, it’s my elder sister.”
Shen Yiren replied softly.
“When meeting the Great Palace Master later, are there any things I should take special note of?”
Lu Changsheng could guess that this kind of interview mainly concerned questions about his identity, intentions, and any potential ulterior motives.
But chatting more with this Third Palace Master now could help strengthen their relationship.
“Rest assured, I have already informed my sister about you, it’s just inquiring about your identity.”
Shen Yiren had a good impression of Lu Changsheng, especially with his elegant and amiable demeanor, and was happy to converse with him.
Moreover, to her, Lu Changsheng was already half a Honored Guest of the Goddess Palace and worth attracting.
“Alright, I’m always available, primarily depending on when the Great Palace Master has time.”
Lu Changsheng said with a smile.
“My elder sister will be around in the coming days. If it’s convenient for you, why don’t we head over now?”
Shen Yiren knew her elder sister didn’t have a lot of time, and apologetically said in a gentle voice.
“Please wait a moment, Third Palace Master, I will tidy up a bit.”
Lu Changsheng immediately went to the practice room, using the Nine Treasures Ruyi Bone to stabilize his qi and blood magical power, then placed Qian Zhuyan into the Spiritual Pet Bag.
As for disguising, it was done using the Fourth Rank Physique and the Thousand Illusions Mask of the Azure Phoenix True Monarch.
After finishing, Lu Changsheng left with Shen Yiren, continuing to chat with her, “Is the Third Palace Master also practicing nourishing life techniques?”
“Mm.”
Shen Yiren replied softly, indicating that she didn’t like fighting and therefore practiced nourishing life techniques.
Lu Changsheng also took the opportunity to talk about medical principles.
After all, cultivators practicing nourishing life techniques generally dabble in medicine.
The two enjoyed conversing, especially since Lu Changsheng had flipped through the “Public Administration Medical Skills” given by Shen Yiren several times. Though he hadn’t fully grasped it, he mastered most of it.
During the process, they discussed medical principles and nourishing life techniques, and Lu Changsheng noticed that this Third Palace Master seemed to have some knowledge of alchemy, so he showed some of his own alchemy knowledge.
Shen Yiren usually didn’t lack people to discuss and exchange ideas with.
But she had never met someone like Lu Changsheng, a confidant.
Not only did he practice the same nourishing life techniques, but he also understood medicine, alchemy, divination, etc., having many shared topics.
The more they talked, the more they hit it off, and during the conversation, this Third Palace Master was occasionally amused by Lu Ancestor’s humorous remarks, a subtle dimple appearing on her elegant and soft cheeks, gradually acquiring a more lively expression.
Just like that, the two chatted and laughed as they arrived at the Goddess Palace.
“Daoist Xuanmu, let’s chat later. Please wait here for a moment, and I’ll notify my sister.”
Bringing Lu Changsheng to a Guest Hall, Shen Yiren said with a slight smile, having unknowingly become a bit more naturally familiar with Lu Changsheng.
