Nationwide Development: Spend Billions in Advance to Bind the Empress

Chapter 425 The renowned Pavilion Master Shen!

"I think it would be better to wait for the Pavilion Master to return," Tu Tian suggested.

The news of the discovery of an imperial artifact here must have spread throughout the world, and who knows, some unscrupulous people might covet this place.

They can leave early, but staying here might earn them a favor.

Since Master Shen dared to leave alone, he must have had ways to prevent others from stealing it!

The favors left behind may have limited value, but at least they can earn some goodwill, right?

"Fellow Daoist Tianyuan is absolutely right." Immortal Venerable Tianqu and the others nodded silently. Since they had nothing to do in their respective Daoist temples anyway, they might as well spend some money to stay and comprehend the flame of destiny on the quasi-immortal emperor artifacts.

Glancing at the lively discussion inside and outside the shop, the seven Immortal Venerables turned and entered the fifth floor: 'Someone like Pavilion Master Shen, even if we can't become close friends with him, we can't afford to offend him...'

Such anomalies, whose depths are unknown, are the most feared!

Fortunately, the Masters of the Dojos had already sent messages to their various subordinate forces as quickly as possible, so even though Shen Yun was away, no one was foolish enough to provoke him...

……

Ice Flame Volcano is a training ground in Tianfang Prefecture.

The local specialty, Iceflame Grass and Iceflame Fire Lizard, are highly sought-after resources in the market and are favored by cultivators from the surrounding area.

However, the quality of resources here is low, with the best being only at the Xuanxian level, so the cultivators who come here are not of high cultivation level.

But for someone like Ding Qianqian, who wasn't even a rogue cultivator, the aura of a passing cultivator was enough to make her heart pound with fear and feel extremely oppressed!

'Sister You Ran, are these immortals? They all look so powerful!' Ding Qianqian muttered to herself.

'So the seniors of the Underworld were taking care of us newcomers, without releasing their aura outwards.'

Back in the underworld, even the ghost soldiers didn't reveal any aura and looked quite ordinary.

When she came to the outside world, she realized that it was just people taking care of them.

"They're just minor cultivators. Once you reach their level, you won't think that way anymore," Li Youran said casually, but he was actually staring intently at the screen, scrutinizing the cultivators projected on the screen.

It was also her first time seeing an immortal, so she was naturally curious.

However, they seem to be similar to the cultivators in the Xuan Tian Realm.

'A junior cultivator?' Ding Qianqian asked curiously.

'Sister You Ran and the Ancestor are friends. The Ancestor has just arrived in the Immortal Realm, so he's probably a rogue cultivator, right? If Sister You Ran says this, doesn't that mean he's even more powerful than the Ancestor?'

"Oops, I over-bragged!" Li Youran's expression froze, and she realized that she had said the wrong thing!

Mainly because she usually uses her relationship with Boss Shen to brag to Ding Qianqian, her favorability rating has skyrocketed to over 90!

So I just blurted it out.

But this is the Celestial Realm, not Xuan Tian or Blue Star.

Shen Yun's ascension to immortality naturally had to start from the level of a wandering immortal.

After his ascension, the Blue Star cultivation rankings remained at the level of the Great Emperor of the Dao, without any updates.

'Hmm…' Quickly changing her mind, Li Youran made up an excuse, keeping her tone as mysterious as possible:

You've only seen the surface; you'll understand later.

'Appearance? Could it be that the Ancestor is not a rogue cultivator?' Unable to figure it out, Ding Qianqian could only suppress her curiosity and stand by the roadside to wait for the Ancestor.

The ancestor has already sent her a message, telling her to come directly to the Ice Flame Volcano and activate the token sensor of the Ancient Cloud Palace. She should arrive soon.

Looking around, she discovered that any cultivator who wanted to enter the mountain for training needed to be questioned by three cultivators at the foot of the mountain.

In addition, each person has to receive a piece of paper.

Unfortunately, the distance was too great, and with her cultivation level suppressed by the laws of the immortal realm, she couldn't even hear what the other person was saying.

Forget about speaking, she felt like she couldn't even fly.

'Cultivation truly is endless…' Ding Qianqian thought to herself, when she suddenly heard a familiar, soft laugh coming from the side.

"Ding Qianqian?"

Ding Qianqian turned around with a face full of surprise, and her eyes lit up when she saw who it was!

"Old man!" She was about to call out, but then realized her voice might disturb those around her, so she quickly ran over excitedly, bowed respectfully, and whispered:

"Disciple Ding Qianqian greets Ancestor!"

"GOOD! Boss Shen has become even more handsome!!" Li Youran, who was watching the screen, was also very excited.

This was the first time she had seen Shen Yun since his ascension.

It must be said that Shen Yun at this time is much better than he was on Blue Star, in terms of both his energy and appearance.

Coupled with this spotless white coat and light blue long robe, in her words, she was simply so handsome it was outrageous and unreasonable!

"Tsk tsk, even the cultivators around who are planning to enter the mountain are looking at Boss Shen, amazing!" Li Youran was extremely proud as he looked at the curious gazes of the cultivators!

This is a cultivator from their Blue Star, someone even cultivators from the Immortal Realm would look at with disdain, which shows just how good Shen Yun's demeanor is.

After her initial excitement subsided, Ding Qianqian also noticed that the ancestor seemed even more charming than before. After bowing and standing up, she felt rather awkward and unsure of what to say.

Not only that, her heart was also racing with nervousness.

"No need to be shy, let's go into the mountains. Just go directly to your mission coordinates." Shen Yun smiled calmly, already looking forward to what items he could get from the 5 million treasure chest.

After this wave of spending, he only needs 4000 million more to upgrade his VIP level to 10!

"Yes, yes! Thank you for your trouble, Ancestor!" The Ancestor was a head taller than her, so she had to look up to observe.

Seeing the old ancestor smile and shake his head to indicate that nothing was wrong, Ding Qianqian felt as if a spring breeze was blowing on her face, and her tense heart relaxed.

She already held the ancestor in high regard, and now her admiration for him only intensified. Mustering her courage, she voiced her thoughts:

"By the way, Ancestor, how are you doing in the Immortal Realm? The Palace Master and the others are very concerned about you."

"It's alright," Shen Yun said with a smile. "I'm eating and drinking leisurely every day. When I go back, I'll tell them not to worry. Everything is fine with me here."

"That's good." Ding Qianqian smiled and then began to talk about the recent situation of Guxia Palace.

The young girl was probably excited because it was her first time visiting the Immortal Realm, and she talked a lot. Shen Yun didn't mind and just listened as an observer.

The two chatted idly all the way to the foot of the Ice Flame Volcano.

"Gentlemen, you need to collect a scroll before entering the mountain." The cultivator holding the scroll glanced at Shen Yun and his companion and handed over the scroll.

He's been posting since morning, and his movements and words have become somewhat numb, after all, countless cultivators come to Iceflame Volcano every day.

'So it's just to pick up a painting scroll, it's nothing serious...' Ding Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped forward to take the scroll.

She had initially thought something major had happened in the area.

Because no matter where the cultivators came from, they all showed extreme respect to the three cultivators who were distributing the scrolls, indicating that these three were extraordinary individuals!

But as soon as she took the painting and glanced at it, she was stunned!

Li Youran, who was staring at the projection, had the same expression.

Because the person depicted in the painting looks exactly like Shen Yun?!

"Remember! You must not offend the people in this painting..." the cultivator who gave them the painting instructed the two.

But before he could finish speaking, the man's face seemed increasingly familiar, and he suddenly gasped in shock:

"hiss!!!"

Isn't that Master Shen from the portrait?!
