Daoist Baichuan and Fairy Shuyu quickly returned to Yushu Pavilion.

When Baichuan Daoren saw Li Chen sitting upright in front of the tea table, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

What an exceptionally handsome young man! His demeanor was so impressive that even the sect leader, who was used to seeing geniuses, was awestruck.

Daoist Baichuan's disciple is Jun Zhantian, who is incredibly handsome, extremely talented, and powerful. Daoist Baichuan always takes Jun Zhantian out because he feels that Jun Zhantian can bring him honor.

In his opinion, no one in the younger generation in the world can compare to Jun Zhantian, whether in terms of looks or strength.

But when he saw Li Chen, he realized what it meant to be outmatched and to be constantly challenged.

"This is..." Daoist Baichuan looked at Fairy Shuyu meaningfully and mouthed, "Junior Sister, are you an old cow eating young grass?"

At first glance, Daoist Baichuan thought that Li Chen should be a junior of Fairy Shuyu.

But seeing that their eyes looked strange, he said this.

Fairy Shuyu stamped her foot in embarrassment and annoyance: "Senior Brother!"

Daoist Baichuan sized up Li Chen, becoming more and more satisfied with his appearance. "Junior Sister said you wanted to borrow the Immortal's Token?"

Li Chen said frankly, "That's right, I want to open the ancient ruins of the Fallen Immortal Mountain Range."

Daoist Baichuan pondered for a moment: "The Immortal Token is a treasure of our sect, and it should not be lent out."

He glanced at his nervous junior sister, then suddenly changed the subject, "But since it was my junior sister who asked, I will naturally give her face."

Fairy Shuyu was both shy and happy.

Daoist Baichuan suddenly became serious: "However, Young Master Cheng must grant me one request."

Li Chen: "Sect Master, please speak."

"Bringing three disciples from my Guixu Wuya Sect into the ruins together is a rare opportunity for them," Daoist Baichuan explained.

Being able to enter the immortal ruins is of great help to young cultivators. They might even obtain some fortuitous opportunity and be able to defy fate.

Li Chen readily agreed: "Of course."

And so, with the help of Fairy Shuyu, Li Chen successfully obtained his first Immortal Token.

It was practically effortless. As soon as Daoist Baichuan handed over the Immortal Token, Fairy Shuyu 'chased him away.' Otherwise, if he had stayed, who knows what astonishing things he might have said.

Fairy Shuyu is already thin-skinned; if he teases her like that, she'll be in deep trouble!
The four immortal sects that hold the Immortal Token are: Guixu Wuyai Sect in the east, Bamen Qingtian Palace in the south, Shiyou Xuanming Palace in the west, and Xumi Lingxiao Pavilion in the north.

Now that he had the first piece, Li Chen began to inquire about the whereabouts of the other three.

Fairy Shuyu took out a yellowed map and gently tapped it with her slender fingers: "These reclusive sects are all hidden in secret realms, and outsiders can't find the entrance at all. However, our four great immortal sects occasionally have exchanges with each other."

She explained in detail: "The entrance to the Eight Gates Heaven-Shattering Palace is on an unnamed island in the southern sea, and it only appears on the night of a full moon; the Ten Netherworld Palace is hidden deep in the Death Sands of the Western Regions; as for the Sumeru Sky-Piercing Pavilion..."

She paused, as if recalling something: "I've never been to this place. I remember an elder once told me that it's said to be near the Ten Thousand Trees Mountain Range of the Sumeru Lingxiao Pavilion in the north."

This Wanshu Mountain Range not only has 10,000 trees, but is also a grove of towering 'divine trees'.

That place is known as an extremely dangerous burial ground, where monsters roam freely.

Li Chen nodded thoughtfully: "Since these places are in the secret realm, they definitely cannot be found under normal circumstances. Does the fairy have a good plan?"

Fairy Shuyu said softly, "To find their disciples who are traveling in the mortal world, each sect will send disciples into the world to gain experience. As long as you find them, you can obtain the conditions to enter the sect."

As she spoke, she took out a jade slip and handed it to Li Chen: "This contains the methods for identifying disciples of various sects."

Li Chen took the jade slip, and his fingertips inadvertently touched Fairy Shuyu's hand, causing both of them to be startled.

Li Chen took her soft hand in his grasp: "Why don't you accompany me, Fairy?" Fairy Shuyu's heart suddenly raced, and a blush rose to her cheeks.

She desperately wanted to agree immediately, but thinking of the unfinished pills in the alchemy room, she could only shake her head regretfully: "I...I have official business to attend to."

She quickly added, "But when you go to the Fallen Immortal Mountain Range, I will definitely keep our appointment on time!"

A hint of a smile flashed in Li Chen's eyes, then he smiled broadly and said, "Then it's settled."

The two seemed to have endless things to talk about, from interesting stories about their sect to their cultivation experiences, and before they knew it, the moon was high in the sky.

They reluctantly ended their conversation only when Fairy Yunya yawned and reminded them.

Fairy Yunya was assigned to the room next to Fairy Shuyu's, while Li Chen was assigned to another room.

She was just about to change and rest when the door was suddenly pushed open, and Li Chen walked in silently.

Fairy Yunya raised an eyebrow: "Oh~ I thought you weren't coming back. Didn't Shuyu let you stay in her room overnight?"

Li Chen chuckled: "You know she's conservative by nature, she hasn't reached that point yet."

"So that means I'm dissolute?" Fairy Yunya pretended to be angry, but deliberately pulled down her collar, revealing a patch of snow-white skin that was mesmerizing.

Even though I've eaten a lot of food, I still crave it when I see it.

Li Chen's eyes darkened, and he strode forward, pinning her against the wall: "Isn't that right?"

His breath was scorching. "Back in the capital, who was it that begged for mercy every night?"

Fairy Yunya was so aroused by his teasing that her body went weak, but she still stubbornly insisted, "That's because Your Majesty is too..."

Before she could finish speaking, her lips were sealed.

That night, there was hardly any noise in the guest room. Fairy Yunya kept quiet so that her best friend wouldn't know what was going on.

But that's precisely why the thrill of stealing made her even more excited.

This is my best friend's future boyfriend. My best friend didn't even get to enjoy it, but I got to enjoy it first.

In her joyful moments, Fairy Yunya even forgot that she had once had a Daoist partner. Perhaps as long as she was by Li Chen's side, she would forget about it.

The next morning, Li Chen and Fairy Yunya each found an excuse to take their leave.

One said he was going to find a hidden sect, and the other said he was going to visit an old friend.

You can't exactly say that they're going together.

Although Fairy Shuyu was reluctant, she didn't think much of it.

Before parting, Fairy Shuyu secretly slipped Li Chen a sachet: "There is a talisman I made specially inside."

Li Chen accepted it with great care: "See you at the Fallen Immortal Mountain Range."

After leaving the Guixu Wuyai Sect, Li Chen immediately took action.

Based on the clues provided by Fairy Shuyu, he first went to the South China Sea to find the disciples of the Eight Gates Heaven-Shattering Palace.

Meanwhile, in the Empire of Eternal Day, Charles received a summons from the Papacy.

The mysterious cardinal secretly sent a message: the Pope wants to discuss the matter of missionary work and conversion with his Tian Ce Dynasty!

Charles laughed and said, "Isn't this just what I wanted? Li Chen, let's see how you handle this!"

You're all messing with me, aren't you? I'm not sure I can't mess with you all!
