Chapter 426 The Sloppy Old Man
The three Nascent Soul cultivators who witnessed the entire process gained a certain understanding of Yunxi's strength.

Hao Yan then cupped her hands to the white-robed, white-bearded cultivator beside her and said:
"Fellow Daoist Huabai, I'm sorry. A minor conflict between the sect's disciples has disturbed you. I apologize on their behalf."

Hua Bai glanced at Hao Yan and Xiang Si Zi, who was watching the commotion from the side, before speaking:

"Fortunately, nothing too serious has happened. With the Five Regions Grand Competition just around the corner, you'd better keep your disciples in check. It would be bad if evil cultivators took the opportunity to cause trouble."

“Fellow Daoist Huabai is right.”

Hao Yan immediately agreed, saying that what the other person said was right and that she should listen to what was right.

Hua Bai saw that Hao Yan's attitude was good and he didn't press the matter further. After all, it was a minor conflict within the Hao Ran Sect and hadn't caused any substantial harm, so he stopped there.

After Hua Bai's figure disappeared, Hao Yan bowed to Xiang Si Zi and thanked her.

"Many thanks to Fellow Daoist Xiangsizi for your help, otherwise it would have been really difficult to deal with Fellow Daoist Huabai."

Xiangsizi waved her hand and said:
"I didn't make a move; I was just here to watch the show and have some fun."

Hao Yan raised her phoenix eyes slightly and said:
“With Xiangsizi standing beside me, I have the confidence to fight for the Western Regions.”

Hao Yan's words were not an exaggeration at all; Xiang Si Zi was a rare poison cultivator in the Wei Yu Realm.

In the Central Region, there was once a third-rate sect leader who took a liking to Xiang Si Zi, who had just condensed her Nascent Soul. He wanted to recruit her into the sect as a guest elder, which was actually a way of controlling her and making her handle some dirty business for the sect. The other party didn't take Xiang Si Zi, a rogue cultivator, seriously at all.

The other party assumed that since they were from a sect in the Central Region, Xiang Si Zi wouldn't refuse their invitation. As a result, Xiang Si Zi decisively refused, as she hated the sect leader's arrogant attitude.

On the surface, the sect leader expressed regret and politely saw Xiangsi Zi off, but secretly sent a Nascent Soul True Monarch from the sect to kill Xiangsi Zi.

Xiang Si Zi was no pushover. She poisoned two Nascent Soul cultivators in succession, then threw their heads in front of the third-rate sect's gate and spread the word about the sect's actions, making it a laughingstock in the entire Central Region and causing it to lose face.

The sect leader felt that his dignity had been trampled underfoot by Xiangsi Zi, so he disregarded everything and directly ordered the sect's cultivators to besiege Xiangsi Zi, vowing to kill him to avenge the two Nascent Soul cultivators.

There were quite a few cultivators watching at the time, and they were all worried for Xiang Si Zi. Although the other side was a third-rate sect, it was still a sect in the Central Region. They all thought that Xiang Si Zi might not be able to return this time.

Xiang Si Zi also went all out, using all her skills to drag that third-rate sect into the poisonous miasma she had created. She then faced off against the Nascent Soul sect leader alone, fighting him for three days and three nights. In the end, the sect leader died with his body completely rotting, his soul trapped inside his body until his death.

The Nascent Soul cultivator from this third-rate sect died silently; no one knows when he died or who killed him.

In the end, Xiang Si Zi was seriously injured, but she destroyed this third-rate sect. At that time, some sect leaders felt that Xiang Si Zi's methods were too ruthless, so they wanted to keep her in the Central Region. However, with Hao Yi's help, Xiang Si Zi managed to escape and stayed in the Western Region to cultivate.

Xiangsi Zi became famous overnight because of this battle. After she became a deity and became the ruler of the Western Regions Loose Cultivator Alliance, no one dared to come to her door to cause trouble.

This is why the cultivators of the Central Region are somewhat wary of Xiangsi Zi. Unless they can join forces to kill Xiangsi Zi in one blow, no cultivator is willing to confront the Poison Cultivator head-on.

Therefore, Xiangsi Zi standing beside Haoyan is a form of indirect support.

Hao Yan smiled and said:
"Let's go back and continue drinking."

Xiangsizi did not refuse, and the two figures disappeared in mid-air.

After the two disappeared, Yunxi looked up at the sky. When she opened her "Snowstorm Domain", she felt three auras of Nascent Soul stage cultivators locking onto her. However, two of them were familiar, and only one was unfamiliar. She could roughly guess what was going on, so she quickly finished the battle without disturbing the surrounding crowd.

The falling snowflakes were merely a distraction, but the true big shots knew exactly what had happened. With Wei Yunqing back at the Immortal Transformation Sect, Yunxi, no longer hesitant, acquired several seemingly ordinary yet highly valuable items with the help of Dian Dian's tips, successfully snaging bargains before leisurely strolling out of the street.

Just as she was about to return to the Immortal Transformation Sect, a very disheveled old man blocked Yunxi's way.

"I observe that the fairy's face is unusual, as if dark clouds are covering her head. This is a very ominous sign. If it is not averted, her life may be in danger!"

After speaking, he stroked the few sparse, flowery hairs on his chin, looking inscrutable.

The words "con artist" immediately popped into Yunxi's mind, and she felt that the other party was taking advantage of her.

However, when Yunxi scanned the scene with her divine sense, she discovered that the disheveled old man in front of her had a black compass-shaped jade pendant hanging from his waist. She had seen the same thing on Su Qingzhuo, the young master of the Su family in Qianling City.

She immediately guessed who the old man was and frowned as she asked:
"You old man, how rude of you! How dare you say I am doomed right from the start?"

The sloppy old man shook his head and said:
"I am a successor of the Heavenly Fortune Sect. I only cast one divination a day. Today's divination has come true for you, fellow Daoist. That's why I said a few more words. Believe it or not is up to you."

Yunxi looked the old man up and down, then said:

"Then please, Fellow Daoist Fengfen, cast a divination for me!"

The old man wasn't surprised that his identity was revealed. He made a gesture of invitation and entered a restaurant with Yunxi.

Given their strength, they were immediately invited to a private room on the third floor. Feng Fen rubbed his hands together and began reciting the menu to the Foundation Establishment stage waiter, showing a clear intention to eat Yun Xi out of house and home.

Yunxi wasn't angry; she still had enough spirit stones to treat the old man to a spiritual meal.

After the spiritual meal was served, Feng Fen ate with relish, taking bites of food and sips of wine. Yun Xi, on the other hand, had little appetite, only savoring the restaurant's specialty spiritual wine and occasionally glancing at messages sent through the communication jade slip.

The jade slip kept vibrating. Several of her friends of similar strength had arrived at the Immortal Transformation Sect and wanted to get together before the competition began. Yunxi replied to each of them.

After finishing his meal and drinks, Feng Fen picked his teeth and said:
"True Lady Ranxi has such a magnanimous demeanor; she truly deserves to be called the 'Chosen One'."

Upon hearing this, Yunxi looked up at the disheveled old man, Feng Fen, and said with a faint smile:

"I don't like the term 'chosen one'; I prefer the word 'variable'."

Feng Fen could no longer pretend to be profound. He put down the jade slip in his hand and stared with his cloudy eyes, asking:

"Do you know your own destiny?"

Yunxi shook her head:

"I don't know, but I know how to survive."

Feng Fen also put away his lazy expression, sat up straight, and said:

"The ancestor's divination has finally come true. The old man has waited for far too long, almost thinking he would never see you again, which is why he accepted a disciple."

Yun Xi raised her eyebrows and said:
"I knew you were just flattering Su Qingzhuo when you praised him for his extraordinary talent."

 See you tomorrow~
