The Ghost Servant Sect Master Ling Yingzi learned that a mysterious Profound Void Immortal Venerable from Great Yan Kingdom thwarted the Seven Great Immortal Sects' plans. She vows to find this individual and, if the Blood Cloud Sect and Ancestral Soul Sect don't cooperate, she will lead an army of ghost servants to destroy them. Ten days later, Qingyuan City has become a prosperous hub, attracting powerful figures.

The third Miss of the Miao family, Miao Wan’er, knows one thing that others do not!

That is, all the citizens of Qingyuan City believe that many prestigious guests and wealthy people came to Qingyuan City to observe the artworks at the Profound Immortal Tavern. Even the county magistrate and deputy county magistrate of Qingyuan City think so. However, Miao Wan’er knows that those prestigious guests and wealthy people came to Qingyuan City not just to observe the artworks at the Profound Immortal Tavern!

Those top-tier prestigious guests and wealthy people came to Qingyuan City because of one message: the Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable, who made the Seven Kingdoms Alliance Army and demons quite fearful, had said that after a period of time, he would return to Qingyuan City!

With this message, those top-tier prestigious guests and wealthy people all rushed to Qingyuan City several days ago. Their purpose, of course, is to meet that Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable, and if possible, to forge some connections. For these top-tier guests and wealthy people, this is their real goal. As for coming to observe the artworks of the Profound Immortal Tavern or to support Ninth Young Master Huang’s new business venture, those are just things said to outsiders!

Thinking of this, Miao Wan’er frowned suddenly and thought of someone — Lin Qiang!

That Lin Qiang hasn’t appeared for many days, and his disappearance was sudden...

The strangest thing is that the time of Lin Qiang’s disappearance coincides with the time of that Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable’s appearance at Chaokou Pass, which is quite mysterious! However, I have known Lin Qiang since childhood, and never heard of him having any extraordinary encounters or knowing any Immortals. It is absolutely impossible for that Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable to be Lin Qiang... Moreover, if Lin Qiang were that Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable, possessing such powerful strength and methods, how could he possibly hide in our modest Miao family!

As Miao Wan’er was lost in thought, she suddenly heard Li Changming’s voice, "Wan’er, these past few days, how’s the progress with the cultivation technique I taught you?"

Hearing her master’s question, Miao Wan’er immediately composed herself, clasped her hands and said, "Master, Wan’er’s aptitude is not high. After cultivating for these ten days, I’m only able to, within half an hour, extract all the blood and life force from a ferocious dog. It greatly differs from master, who can drain a ferocious dog’s blood and life force in mere minutes during cultivation! Additionally, I have only increased my True Qi by seventy-two strands through the cultivation technique, still thirty-six shy of the foundation!"

Li Changming nodded slightly, "That’s quite impressive! Among all the disciples I have taught over the years, even those with the best talent required about ten days to reach your realm!"

What Miao Wan’er referred to as the foundation of the cultivation technique is naturally what Lin Xuankong described as the entry level of a cultivation technique. As a promising candidate suitable for cultivating the Blood Spirit Technique, Miao Wan’er indeed has exceptional talent, and her cultivation speed is just a fraction behind Li Changming! Li Changming is truly a Celestial Immortal descended to earth, and he has cultivated to the Initial Tier Perfection. His skill and talent in cultivation far surpass ordinary prodigies. For Miao Wan’er to have only a slight difference in cultivation speed compared to Li Changming indicates this girl’s talent is extremely suited for the Blood Spirit Technique!

Of course, it depends on who she is compared to and in what aspect! Miao Wan’er’s talent in cultivating demon techniques might be comparable to Li Changming, but if it were other Immortal Techniques, Immortal Skills, or Immortal Techniques, she would be far behind Li Changming. Compared to Lin Xuankong, that would already be a discrepancy of ten thousand times in cultivation speed!

Hearing Li Changming’s praise, Miao Wan’er couldn’t help but feel some happiness in her heart and respectfully said, "If not for master’s guidance and teaching, how could someone as ordinary as Wan’er step onto the path of cultivation? I really don’t know how to repay master’s great kindness. In the future, no matter what command master has, even if it’s to enter fire pits and climb knife mountains, Wan’er will not frown!"

Li Changming waved his hand gently, "You don’t need to go through any fire pits or knife mountains, just ensure your cultivation progresses well and help me with some tasks in the future!"

With that, he turned his head to continue gazing towards the Profound Saint Residence beside the Profound Immortal Tavern, whispering:

"In recent days, it’s not just the prestigious guests and wealthy people from various places arriving at Qingyuan City; the Ancestral Soul Sect and Blood Cloud Sect from the Great Yan Kingdom, as well as cultivators from Immortal Sects of several other kingdoms, have also arrived! Qingyuan City perhaps hasn’t been this lively for thousands of years! When the Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable returns, who knows what surprises he will bring to these prestigious guests and cultivators from all over!"

Upon hearing this, Miao Wan’er dared not interrupt, especially as they were discussing the Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable!

...

In a spacious guest room facing the street on the second floor of the Profound Saint Residence.

Thirteen men in suits were seated around a long table, looking towards a man standing beside the table.

If Lin Xuankong or Ding Ye were present, they would surely recognize this man standing beside the table as Liang Butong, who once battled Demon Dongtan Twelve of the Ai Clan’s Invincible Corps at Chaokou Pass.

At this moment, Liang Butong respectfully gestured towards the thirteen seated men in suits, speaking respectfully:

"Sect Leader Liang, Elders, that Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable once disciplined He Wu right beside the Profound Immortal Tavern! If the Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable is to return to Qingyuan City, it is very likely he will come to the Profound Immortal Tavern! Additionally, I have placed our Blood Cloud Sect’s outer disciples around Huang Jiu and Ding Ye so that if there’s any news about the Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable, they’ll notify me immediately! However... however, the Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable only mentioned he intends to visit Qingyuan City sometime in the future. When exactly will he return remains uncertain. Do the Sect Leader and Elders truly wish to wait here indefinitely for the Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable?"
