In the secret realm, Lu Lingxiao and Lu Wangshu led cultivators from Great Dream Marsh to confront and slay a formidable Third Rank Demon King, claiming its materials as compensation. With his essence at its peak after the battle and Nirvana's enhancements, Lu Lingxiao seized the moment to attempt Core Formation atop a Third Rank Spirit Vein, triggering a rare Heavenly Dao breakthrough amid gathering spiritual energy and watchful eyes. Meanwhile, in Penglai Immortal City, Lu Changsheng, posing as the Xuanmu Taoist, built his reputation by selling superior Third Rank Talismans, rejecting recruitment from various powers while awaiting contact from the Goddess Palace, which finally arrived after persistent efforts.

Upon learning of the Goddess Palace's arrival, Lu Changsheng left his modest courtyard to welcome the visitors.

At the entrance waited a lady with a lithe and poised build, attired in a plain yet refined azure robe. A light veil hid her appearance.

Even though her visage remained concealed, the unpretentious sophistication of her attire, paired with her statuesque form and the dignified, peaceful presence, led Lu Changsheng to understand that this lady possessed not just stunning looks but also a remarkable standing.

After all, a common lady wouldn't carry such refined and aristocratic poise!

"What occasion brings the Fairy to my lowly dwelling?"

Though Lu Changsheng had foreseen the Goddess Palace's coming to offer thanks, he avoided displaying any haste. With a slight bow and a warm smile, he appeared mild and inviting, radiating a jade-like gentleness that effortlessly attracted people.

"I am Shen Yiren, coming to express thanks to Daoist Xuanmu for aiding our Goddess Palace."

Shen Yiren elegantly lifted her hand to lift the sheer veil, letting several locks of dark hair cascade over her exquisitely lovely face. She offered a polite curtsy, emanating a composed, serene vibe and the polished grace of aristocracy.

"Shen Yiren?"

Lu Changsheng paused in surprise for a moment, gazing at the stunning lady in front of him, featuring fine brows, a captivating countenance, and lips tender like rosebuds, resembling a portrait amid gentle drizzle.

He hadn't anticipated that the Third Palace Master of the Goddess Palace, Shen Yiren in person, would make the journey.

During his earlier rescue, he figured the fainted lady would connect him with the Third Palace Master of the Goddess Palace, yet she appeared personally.

"It seems the Divination Art truly proves valuable."

Lu Changsheng reflected inwardly, deeming it worthwhile to dedicate time each day to divination and computation.

At the very least, decisions guided by divinatory signs tend to proceed more smoothly.

He refrained from dwelling on it, quickly offering a bow and salute, "It's a great honor for the Third Palace Master to visit. This simple home feels truly blessed."

Aware of the lady's status, Lu Changsheng naturally shifted his attitude.

Indeed, the person standing there was far from ordinary.

Serving as the Third Palace Master of the Goddess Palace, she had two sisters who were Nascent Soul True Lords and a brother-in-law also at Nascent Soul stage.

Such a lineage outshone over ninety-nine percent of all cultivators.

And he, posing as "Xuanmu Taoist," a wandering cultivator, ought to exhibit some caution, feeling unexpectedly privileged.

"Daoist Xuanmu, your humility is excessive. Apart from holding Core Formation cultivation and being a Third Rank Superior Grade Talisman Master, your aid to our palace alone fills even this humble one with gratitude."

"Had it not been for certain holdups, I would have come to see Daoist much sooner."

Regardless of her impressive heritage, the Third Palace Master showed no arrogance, her tone mild and soothing, reminiscent of willows swaying over a stream or a soft wind against the skin, fostering instant goodwill.

Her speech, along with a subtle smile that showed her dimples, conveyed an authentic youthful charm, devoid of any seduction, inspiring a wish to safeguard and care for this Third Palace Master.

With his vast experiences and as a father to numerous offspring, Lu Changsheng could tell right away that this Third Palace Master embodied the ideal of a devoted spouse and nurturing parent, suited perfectly to bear children!

"The Third Palace Master flatters me too much; please, enter the courtyard!"

Lu Changsheng warmly ushered her into the small courtyard.

Shen Yiren gave a gentle nod and faint smile, tucked away her veil into a storage ring, and with a flowing, supple stride like swaying willows, trailed Lu Changsheng into the primary chamber, exuding tranquil sophistication.

After seating themselves, Lu Changsheng gracefully brewed tea and served it with smooth gestures; then Shen Yiren delicately produced a white token etched with gold patterns and a verdant jade slip, murmuring softly, "These modest offerings symbolize the Goddess Palace's appreciation for Daoist Xuanmu. Kindly accept them."

"This emblem from the ’Penglai Chamber of Commerce’ grants reductions and access to rare items at our affiliated shops."

"Since Daoist practices a Nourishing Life Technique, you may have some knowledge in healing arts. This ’Public Administration Medical Skills’ contains the healing wisdom of a Nascent Soul True Lord, which might provide aid upon study."

Each action of the Third Palace Master carried a peaceful, artistic essence, and her tender, mellow voice brimmed with captivating refinement.

"Healing wisdom?"

Spotting the verdant jade slip, Lu Changsheng quickly realized that his use of Yin Yang Magic Power to mimic the ’Cauldron Medical King’s Scripture’ during the rescue had caused others to view him as a healer.

"The Third Palace Master needn't have gone to such lengths."

Lu Changsheng received the presents, inwardly sighing that mere thanks wouldn't easily forge ties.

"I understand Daoist Xuanmu seeks to rent a Fourth Rank Spirit Vein Cave Mansion?"

Shen Yiren cradled a teacup in her slender, pale fingers, sipping delicately, her bright eyes observing Lu Changsheng as she inquired.

Lu Changsheng, too, developed a positive feeling toward this Third Palace Master upon their encounter.

She likewise regarded Lu Changsheng, with his refined and erudite looks, as quite likable.

Although this attraction arose from the Peach Blossom Gu and Chaos Body, Shen Yiren naturally attributed it to his Nourishing Life Technique.

Practitioners of Nourishing Life Techniques typically exhibit amiable and approachable traits.

As she too cultivated such a technique, the pair instinctively sensed a harmonious bond, finding ease and rapport from the initial meeting.

"To speak frankly with the Third Palace Master, I am presently pursuing a chance for Nascent Soul, so I plan to rent a Fourth Rank Spirit Vein to aid my breakthrough to Nascent Soul."

Lu Changsheng replied earnestly without delay.

For cultivators aiming to progress from Qi Refinement to Foundation Establishment, from Foundation Establishment to Core Formation, or from Core Formation to Nascent Soul, preparations often begin in the later phases of the existing realm.

Thus, pondering Nascent Soul prospects at his present level remains wholly fitting.

Shen Yiren smiled softly, her bearing elegant and otherworldly, and stated, "Daoist Xuanmu has aided our Goddess Palace greatly. Should you desire a Fourth Rank Spirit Vein for your Nascent Soul advancement, I can confer with my sisters about it."
