Chapter 107 is particularly sincere
Zhu Kuang immediately replied, and soon many lines of text reappeared in the communication jade.

Shen Suiren saw her sigh softly: "Grandmaster, what's going on?"

"When Que woke up, she wouldn't say a word. Seeing that they couldn't get anything out of her, they searched Shen Manqi's soul." Zhu Kuang pressed his temples and showed her the communication jade.

Shen Suiren quickly glanced through the information and learned that Shen Manqi was captured by Hongluo while hunting demons at Shaowu Mountain.

Afterwards, she and several other female cultivators were imprisoned and forced to cultivate. Those people died one after another due to excessive pills, but she successfully formed her core and escaped, only to be captured again. She had no memory of what happened after that.

As Que Yi saw Shen Manqi being turned into an idiot by soul-searching, she loudly mocked a group of cultivators, at which point her own soul shattered and vanished.

However, because they were worried that she had used some kind of secret technique, Shen Manqi was still kept in the Spirit-Sealing Cage.

"Shen Manqi, sigh..." Shen Suiren felt that he was not worthy to say things like how innocent she was, and that it was impossible to let her go at this time.

The Nascent Soul cultivators who are chosen for soul-searching cannot damage a person's soul; they must have been affected by some of Que Yi's techniques.

However, judging from the results of the soul search, Shen Manqi had never been to the Valley of the Lost Butterflies and may never have even met her master.

Who impersonated her as a disciple of the Taiyi Sect? And how could they do it in a way that wouldn't arouse suspicion?

The answer was obvious, and Shen Suiren chose Lianqiao as his first choice. "I'll ask my senior uncle if Lianqiao was present at the time."

Zhu Kuang Zhenjun waved his hand: "No need to ask, those who have reached the Core Formation stage cannot participate."

Moreover, the Dragon King exposed her collusion with Que Yi to plot against Ao Jian in front of everyone, and the Nascent Soul cultivators have already decided that her mother is not allowed to have any contact with Que Yi.

Before setting off, I informed Sect Master Fujiang that the Dragon King had suggested searching for the soul of Forsythia; whether or not to do it was up to him.

"Will he?" Shen Suiren asked curiously.

"It's hard to say, but he will definitely restrict Lianqiao's movements."

"Notify King Chongming that the calamity is imminent. Even a Spirit Treasure-level Mirror of Truth cannot detect any issues with the person's soul."

Based solely on a conversation that was not recorded, Zhu Kuang could not possibly have seized Lian Qiao to search her soul.

Fu Jiang probably didn't want to cause conflict between sects during this sensitive period.

"I'll notify them immediately." Shen Suiren had exchanged communication talismans with Chongming before, so he could send it to it right away, while he retreated to the side of the Little Fox King and the others.

Ao Jian extended an invitation: "Haha, Sui Chu, Tu Shan Luan, have a Thunder Spirit Fruit, and I'll take you to play in the Tribulation Clouds."

Shen Suiren shook his head like a rattle-drum, retreating alongside the Little Fox King as they watched him soar into the sky.

A moment later, the demon king Chongming flew out of his cave under the watchful eyes of all the demons, and Zhu Kuang tossed him a number of pill bottles.

Lightning began to flash in the sky, and she took the Nalei Box and flew to the edge of the lightning strike to collect the lightning.

The first bolt of lightning struck the tribulation array, with only a small amount entering the demon's body within the array. The majority was taken down and tempered by the little dragon king who flew into the clouds.

Then two, three, four, and five bolts of lightning struck down without fail, and the little dragon king fluttered about happily.

Suddenly, Shen Suiren's telepathic message interrupted his joy: "Get out of the way quickly, the calamity clouds are thinning."

Elder Eagle also advised it: "Little Dragon King, come back quickly. If you block the last few, it will affect Chongming's transformation."

"Nine paths too?" The Little Dragon King reluctantly landed, and True Lord Zhu Kuang timely intervened, damaging a corner of the formation: "King Chongming, you must personally endure the last three paths."

If there are still nine more after that, I will reactivate the formation.

But when Chongming swallowed the pill and flew up, gritting his teeth to meet the last three bolts of lightning, the tribulation lightning decisively withdrew its power and disappeared, much like oxen and horses being herded home from work.

As the spiritual energy of heaven and earth rushed towards them, the demons couldn't help but ask, "In the future, when we transform into human form, will we only have to endure nine tribulations of lightning?"

Elder Eagle couldn't answer, and True Lord Zhu Kuang also said he didn't know.

The little fox king, clutching the black tortoise, whimpered and jumped around, saying, "Only nine paths, that's great!"

Just as Shen Suiren was about to suggest finding a demon to transform into, his master shook his head and transmitted a message to him: "Let them suggest it themselves."

She kept her mouth shut and transmitted her voice: "Grandmaster, how old will Prince Chongming look?"

Zhu Kuang carefully taught her: "It is related to her mindset. Like the Little Fox King, she will not be able to take human form beyond the age of ten."

Pick out two beautiful sets of robes and give them to the Demon King Chongming later.

Shen Suiren nodded. She had thought she would have to wait a long time, just like when she was waiting for the Little Dragon King. But just as she picked out the robe, Chongming's spiritual energy was completely absorbed.

A beautiful girl dressed in colorful clothes, about the same age as him, waved to the little fox king and his friends.

"Wow, Chongming is so beautiful." As the little fox kings and the others ran off, Ao Jian scurried back into Zhu Kuang's spatial hut and slapped Cheng Zhishun awake with a paw. "Why does she have clothes?"

"It hurts a lot. What clothes are you wearing?" Cheng Zhishun hadn't had enough sleep yet. Seeing the torn robe by the bed, he took out another set from his storage ring. "Transform back and put it on."

You'll need to learn how to transform your skin and scales into clothing.

"I exhausted my spiritual energy to help you, so don't bother me anymore, or we'll break off our friendship."

"Hmph! So delicate." The Little Dragon King transformed back into human form, put on his robes, and went out to complain to Zhu Kuang: "Junior Sister, Cheng Zhishun bullied me."

Shen Suiren was instantly stunned: "How did my grandmaster become your junior sister?"

"Will Ao Jian join the Immortal Travel Sect as an elder?" Several elders of the Demon Court asked at the same time.

Ao Jian met Zhu Kuang Zhenjun's calm smile and said, "I am of a higher generation than Cheng Zhishun. He calls Sui Chu 'Junior Sister,' while Sui Chu calls you 'Grandmaster.'"

He will definitely have to call you Grandmaster, and since you're my junior sister, he'll have to call me Grandmaster too.

Such powerful logic! Shen Suiren was impressed.

But I admire my master more for saying, "That makes sense. You can call me senior sister from now on, so that I can have some face in front of others."

In this way, all the junior disciples of the Immortal Wandering Sect will have to call you Junior Grandmaster Uncle.

"Who is Cheng Zhishun?" Elder Ying had just opened his mouth when Ao Jian and Zhu Kuang nodded in agreement: "That's good. Senior Sister, you should teach Cheng the Three-Year-Old a lesson for me."

"I'll give him a good scolding when we get back." Zhu Kuang Zhenjun, having successfully recruited a ninth-rank junior elder, smiled even more broadly.

Elder Eagle and the others could only sigh helplessly; it was a case of one party willing to hit and the other willing to be hit, and they couldn't interfere.

Hearing the conversation, the Little Fox King said, "Chongming, it feels a bit strange that I have to call the Little Dragon King 'Grandmaster Uncle' like Sui Chu does."

At 9 AM, he rolled his eyes at her and said, "You've automatically lowered your seniority, haven't you?"

Wuwu Huohuo couldn't agree more: "Stop calling me Suichu."

"It doesn't matter, you call yours and she calls hers."

"Let's go, I'll go with you to the Immortal Travel Sect." After hearing about the recent changes from Si Shi, Chongming decided to move to the human realm, believing that the Demon Court would not object.

Shen Suiren and Zhu Kuang Zhenjun were extremely welcoming, but when they took away the seventh or eighth step and boarded the underwater teleportation array, her stiff smile immediately fell.

"Grandmaster, did I really go to the Demon Court?"

I didn't even get a good look at what it looked like. "Indeed, the Demon Court covers a vast area, and outside the city walls, there are caves of all sizes scattered throughout."

After all, the demons live outside the city, so there's no need to fear their attacks.

Shen Suiren only went from the city gate to Chongming Cave, received the lesser demons in the cave, and then quickly left.

Zhu Kuang then said, "Once you reach the Nascent Soul stage, you can fly around here at will and see things clearly."

The little fox king lay on the small space hut and said, "Besides the liveliness inside the city, there's not much to see outside."

"Grandmaster, this spatial cabin is more comfortable than the spirit beast bracelet. When I expand it outside, it's practically a house. Could you give me one?" "Sure, after we return to the sect, I'll have Sui Chu take you to the storeroom to choose one."

"Chongming, you all come together too. Aren't you going to give yourselves a name?" This time, Zhu Kuang Zhenjun borrowed the space room from Lei Dun and the others.

It was designed to prevent the eighth-tier child demons from taking human form from crowding into the spirit beast bracelet to fight and bully the seventh-tier demons, so they were deliberately separated.

The five Little Fox Kings occupied a separate space and hung on Shen Suiren.

Chongming was looking at the sect manual given to him by Shen Suiren so that he could quickly find out where he would be staying: "Thank you very much, Elder Zhukuang. We will accept it without hesitation."

As for my name, I'm already used to everyone calling me Chongming.

She paused for a moment, then asked, "What are your plans regarding the secret realm?"

"Let's not move for now." There's no time for the disciples to venture into the secret realm right now.

Chongming then asked, "May I ask you some questions about cultivation?"

"I would be more than happy to." Zhu Kuang was befriending them with the utmost sincerity, in order to leave a legacy for his disciples.

Seeing that her grandmaster and she were having a deep conversation, Shen Suiren gave up after listening for a while and started chatting with the little fox king and a few others.

After the topic of sects came up, Wuwu suddenly said, "At the beginning of the year, tell us if there are any people you have offended, so that we can be on guard if we encounter them."

For some reason, the faces of the fourth elder of the Tengluo Society and Lian Qiao flashed before Shen Suiren's eyes.

……

At the same time, Lian Qiao in the Lü Lü Pavilion was comforting True Lord Xian Si, saying, "Father, the soul lamp is fine, nothing will happen."

I see you're worried about wrinkles. Here, have some of this freshly made beauty soup.

"Lianqiao, your father has just been transported to the outside world, and they have already taken away the spiritual herbs you collected and suspected that you are related to some Queyi."

What is that Sparrow? A thousand-year-old, remnant soul? Is it because she took the initiative to approach you?
They even said that the Dragon King accused you of plotting against the Little Dragon King. That's utter nonsense. How could my son do such a thing?

"Mother is upset because of this." True Lord Xiansi had no result in reasoning with the sect leader, and he was burning with anger.

Lian Qiao laughed and said, "It's just a few spiritual herbs. Compared to my arm, it's nothing but an external thing."

The only thing I'll miss is the Moon Goddess Flower I picked; it can help you and Father nourish your souls.

The stronger a Nascent Soul cultivator's soul, the greater their chance of advancing to the Divine Transformation stage. Furthermore, historical records indicate that those with stronger soul power have a higher chance of advancing.

Otherwise, the Cleansing Soul Pill, used by Nascent Soul cultivators to strengthen their souls, wouldn't be so sought after, costing 10,000 spirit stones per pill.

Xian Si took the medicine and drank it all in one gulp. "I'll go find Xi Yu and buy back the Moon Goddess Flower with spirit stones."

But as soon as she stepped out of the guest courtyard, she discovered that someone was monitoring her daughter's yard.

Unable to contain her anger any longer, she stormed into the council hall and, in front of a group of cultivators studying the map and setting up defensive zones, launched an attack on Sect Master Fujiang, creating a rather unsightly scene.

Lian Qiao was filled with regret. Why did she have to mention the Moon Goddess Flower? She should have kept a low profile and felt wronged at this moment.

……

Meanwhile, after Shen Suiren and his group finished their teleportation, they emerged from the seabed and, in a short while, boarded the Cloud-Breaking Boat and arrived at Yuelu Island.

It was already late at night, and it was not appropriate to go into the Lülü Pavilion. Zhu Kuang said, "Let's find an inn in the market to stay in."

"Find the one we were responsible for building." Although Shen Suiren's neighborhood wall wasn't finished at the time, she was involved in building half of the street.

The market was brightly lit by fluorescent lights at night, and there were few cultivators around. They soon arrived at the inn opposite the teleportation hall.

As soon as Shen Suiren stepped onto the steps, she saw her grandmaster staring into the distance, and she couldn't help but release her divine sense as well.

Then, Xi Yuxian and Si, two Nascent Soul True Monarchs, arrived with Lian Qiao, who had shrunk the earth to an inch.

The other party was quite surprised to see them.

Master Xiansi held Lianqiao's hand, his expression not exactly pleasant, and he only nodded slightly to Zhukuang.

Xi Yu Zhenjun greeted them, saying, "You're back so quickly. The Demon Court is quite fast this time."

"There are only a few dozen minor demons, who were selected early on, and I only need to accept one of them."

"Are you going back to your sect?" Zhu Kuang could tell that Xi Yu was suppressing her anger.

"Lianqiao and I are going back. You two chat. We'll have to excuse ourselves." True Monarch Xiansi said first, then pulled his daughter and turned into the teleportation hall.

Shen Suiren keenly sensed that Lian Qiao's gaze swept over her with a hint of coldness.

Thinking of the Chongming Divine Bird's talent for seeing through all illusions, she quickly transmitted her voice: "King Chongming, could you please check if there is anything unusual about the Core Formation female cultivator without disturbing her?"

“Okay, go catch up with her.” Chongming’s eyes flashed instantly.

Just then, True Monarch Xi Yu hurried after them, saying, "Senior Sister, you're really leaving?"

Shen Suiren pointed to the small space and said, "Grandmaster, shall we go take a look? Just in case something happens."

Zhu Kuang understood immediately, and the two quickly entered the newly built teleportation hall, where they saw Xi Yu Zhenjun pressing down on the spirit stones on the table and still trying to persuade someone through telepathy.

Upon seeing the two of them, Lianqiao quickly gave Zhukuang Zhenjun an embarrassed smile.

Shen Suiren then sent a telepathic message to Chongming asking if the distance was acceptable, but received no reply. She then probed the space with her divine sense.

Chongming's eyes gleamed with spiritual light as he stared intently at Lianqiao, who initially seemed oblivious.

But after only a dozen breaths, she quietly moved to the side of True Monarch Xiansi and said, “Mother, I feel unwell. Perhaps we should ask Uncle Xiyu to return to the sect together.”

"Where do you feel unwell? Has someone examined your soul?" While tense, True Monarch Xiansi glared fiercely at True Monarch Xiyu.
“If anything happens to my son, I will fight those people to the death.”

Without even listening to Xi Yu Zhenjun's explanation, he glared at Shen Suiren and the others: "Zhu Kuang, did you come here to spy on my son?"

“Fellow Daoist, why do you say that? I was just watching the show because I had nothing better to do than watch your argument, which seemed to ignore everyone else.” True Lord Zhu Kuang was particularly sincere.

Shen Suiren was stunned. His grandmaster was so powerful.

Xi Yu was both amused and exasperated; such a blunt and blunt situation was not something everyone could handle.

As expected, Master Xiansi was immediately speechless, all the words he wanted to say stuck in his throat, and he didn't know how to open his mouth.

It was only after Lian Qiao shook her, slightly surprised, that she came to her senses and glanced at the several cultivators who wished they could hide their heads under the table, "Hurry up and get your teleportation tokens."

The Core Formation cultivator guarding the teleportation spoke under pressure: "True Lord Xi Yu, shall we take your teleportation token?"

"Take it." Xi Yu sighed inwardly, handed over her share of spirit stones, and transmitted her voice to Zhu Kuang Zhenjun: "I have accepted the guarding task."

Next time we have time, let's have a proper drink.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them boarded the teleportation array and left.

Shen Suiren couldn't wait to look at the small space, only to see Chongming sitting in meditation with his eyes closed, covered in sweat. She immediately brought him several bottles of top-grade Divine Harmony Pills.

When the medicine was being fed at 9:00 AM, the person complained, "There's only one pill in a bottle. Don't you guys think it's a waste of the bottle?"

"The price of one pill rose from 500 low-grade spirit stones to 1500 spirit stones, and it is said that it has now risen to 2000 spirit stones per pill."

"If I don't pack them separately, I certainly can't afford them." Shen Suiren regretted not buying more when she had five hundred spirit stones.

Chongming opened his eyes shortly after taking the medicine: "The effect is very good, it's worth the price."

Shen Suiren quickly asked, "Have you noticed anything wrong with her?"
