Chapter 107 Old Xu Next Door
Inside the room, a young man, his body emptied, knelt before Wei Yuan, pouring out his heart. Another person sat cross-legged on the bed, his back to Wei Yuan, behind him a barrier of Dao energy separating the inside from the outside.

"My name is Xu Wenwu, and I come from another world. After graduating from university, I couldn't find a job, so I've been staying at home ever since... Oh, and the university was pretty much like the academy here..."

...That night, I was watching something suggestive when everything suddenly went black, and when I woke up, I was here...

...After coming into this world, I searched and searched, but I have never found a wise master...

...My lord! I am very useful and knowledgeable; I will definitely be of help to you! With my assistance, we will surely make the whole world grovel at our feet. From now on, you are the boss, and I am the second-in-command! ...

...Brother, rest assured, I will surely achieve great merit and be crowned emperor in the future...

Wei Yuan sealed his mouth with his strength, otherwise who knows how long this guy would have kept rambling on.

Xu Wenwu's words were startling, but it wasn't uncommon for extraterrestrial visitors to appear among the human race in the past. However, those individuals all achieved great things; for example, the one who proposed the Immortal Sect's unified examination had already reached the pinnacle when his extraterrestrial identity was revealed. Now that they have entered the Immortal Sect, their identity and origins are no longer important.

But the man in front of Wei Yuan didn't have the air of an alien visitor at all. As soon as Wei Yuan put him down, he knelt down and started talking back and forth. He was basically looking forward to the wonderful future after he dominated the world, such as filling all the females into his harem. He would also occasionally throw in some off-the-beaten-path thoughts.

Although Wei Yuan didn't know why the people of that world liked to wipe the edges of tables and chairs, he knew from the fact that this person couldn't even say a word about how to dominate that world that he was a complete fool.

Wei Yuan suddenly remembered the first-level Dao Foundation he had seen in the Hall of Ten Thousand Images. If everyone in that world was like Xu Wenwu, this Dao Foundation would be invincible.

Moreover, Xu Wenwu is physically weak, and his physical body is practically nonexistent. If he were left in the northern frontier, he wouldn't be able to defeat even a single Liao horse, let alone the Liao cavalry. How could he possibly want to dominate the world?
This guy has been in this world for more than half a month, but he still doesn't know much about the situation here. After arriving at the Lying Flat Inn, he was like a mouse that had fallen into a pile of rice. He read novels for more than ten days in a row, day and night. The innkeeper's collection of books was almost full.

Fortunately, he was somewhat pragmatic and wanted to attach himself to Wei Yuan to seize world domination instead of going it alone. However, Wei Yuan felt that world domination wasn't urgent; he should pay off his debts first. Besides, there were many respectable immortals in this world, and it would probably take thousands of years of cultivation to achieve true domination.

Even now, Wei Yuan still couldn't understand why this guy had the virtue or ability to expend his entire life force to suppress it. If he had stayed up a few more nights reading novels, he might have gone back.

Wei Yuan temporarily set Xu Wenwu aside, removed the barrier of Dao power, and asked the person on the bed, "And you, who are you?"

The person on the bed turned over, and was no longer the appearance of an ordinary young person. Instead, she revealed a pure and serene face, as delicate and clean as a sheet of jade, completely out of place in Quliu Town. When she looked at Wei Yuan, her face was full of sorrow.

She got out of bed, bowed gracefully to Wei Yuan, and said, "I am Xu Wan'er, and I greet you, my senior brother. My father, Xu Zhijie, once served as the prefect of Ningxi County."

This one really has a remarkable background.

Wei Yuan recalled the records. The 6,000-mile-long Shattered Domain was originally divided into four prefectures. Ningxi Prefecture was the largest and also the westernmost, covering an area of ​​2,500 miles. The Xu family's grotto-heaven and Lan Shen Palace were originally located in Ningxi Prefecture. The prefect, Xu Zhijie, was also from the Xu family, but a year before the great war, he was arrested for embezzling military funds and colluding with foreign tribes, and was soon beheaded. This matter was even recorded in the local chronicles, leaving him infamous for eternity.

Upon seeing Xu Wan'er, Xu Wenwu's eyes widened, as if he wanted to say something. Wei Yuan pointed a finger and stuck him to the wall again, this time facing inwards. Wei Yuan remained calm and asked, "Why did you kill Wang Lang and throw his body into my yard?"

Xu Wan'er subconsciously said, "It wasn't me..."

But when she saw Wei Yuan's eyes, she trembled and said, "Senior Brother, your eyes are sharp. It was indeed me. I originally disguised myself as a female cultivator with only rudimentary cultivation, pretending to be captured by Wang Lang. Then I mingled with his group and headed west to avoid their interception and search. But after we reached the outskirts of the town, Wang Lang somehow tried to take advantage of me. It just so happened that Sister Yun noticed that you cared a lot about Wang Lang, so I killed him. I also wanted to test whether you were the person Sister Yun was looking for."

"Which Sister Yun?"

“Yun Feifei. Sister Yun was originally the Holy Maiden of Lan Shen Palace. I have known her for a long time. Later, when my father had an accident, she rescued me and then helped me escape from those people’s pursuit. After Lan Shen Palace was destroyed, she was also hunted down, so we had to separate and go into hiding.”

"What if I'm not the person you're looking for?" Wei Yuan asked.

“Anyway, Wang Lang is going to be killed, so if he's not, he's not. I was the one who put the bounty on him; even if I don't do it, someone else will.” After explaining, Xu Wan'er said softly, “I have a favor to ask, Senior Brother…”

Wei Yuan interrupted her: "Since it's an unreasonable request, then there's no need to say it. Where is Yun Feifei?"

Xu Wan'er gave Wei Yuan another mournful look and said, "Sister Yun is not here, but I have a way to contact her. However, the magic tool for contacting her is currently in my senior brother's hands."

With a wave of his hand, Wei Yuan conjured a pile of magical artifacts and various items he had searched, including several personal belongings. Xu Wan'er blushed crimson, lowering her head and avoiding Wei Yuan's gaze. She hurriedly pulled out a jade pendant and handed it to Wei Yuan, without touching anything else.

Wei Yuan used his divine sense to probe and immediately understood that this was a highly sophisticated communication artifact. Inputting the message would cause it to appear on another identical jade pendant. These kinds of artifacts have varying ranges; for example, Wei Yuan possessed a jade tablet bestowed by a Celestial Lord that could transmit messages within a hundred thousand miles. Xu Wan'er's pendant could probably transmit within a thousand miles.

"Ask her where she is and how to meet her?"

Xu Wan'er channeled her Dao power into the jade pendant in front of Wei Yuan, transmitting the message. After a moment, the jade pendant flickered, revealing a short text: "Meet at the old site of Lan Shen Palace. Fragments of a grotto-heaven have fallen there, which can be used to avoid powerful enemies."

After this message appeared, the jade pendant lost its luster, having exhausted its magical power.

Wei Yuan scrutinized Xu Wan'er and asked, "Why do you assume I'm the person you're looking for? Don't you even want to verify it?"

"I have never seen anyone with such a distinguished air as my senior brother in the Xu family's ancestral home. It seems that only the Taichu Palace could have produced someone like him. Besides, my senior brother is not only distinguished, but also very capable. I hid myself so well, but he caught me in no time."
