Am I the only good person in this cultivation world?

As he looked up at the sky, a dark golden light flew from afar, heading towards the western side of Feixia Island, the very place where Xu Wen and Jiang Fanyu's cave dwelling was located.

The color of this light was very different from Jiang Fanyu's; it seemed to be Senior Brother Xu, whom he had never met before.

After a moment's thought, Yao Han summoned his Water Pattern Sword and flew toward the streak of light.

The Cold River Trailing Light consumes too much of your magic power, so it's impossible to use it normally. You still need to use the Water Pattern Sword or the Impermanent Boat for transportation.

Although Foundation Establishment cultivators can use the Lightness Technique to move quickly and float in the air, they can only levitate briefly, just like when they were in the Qi Refining stage. For daily travel, they still need to rely on flying artifacts.

Only when one reaches the Core Formation stage can one soar through the air and transform into spiritual light; only then will one gradually give up the use of flying artifacts.

Upon seeing Yao Han's escape light, the somewhat dim spiritual light stopped, revealing a lean young cultivator.

He looked to be about the same age as Jiang Fanyu, with a darker complexion and a calm demeanor. He was like a sword hidden in its sheath, waiting to be unleashed.

He was just a little shorter, about half a head shorter than Yao Han.

Seeing Yao Han stop in front of him, he also stood still, stepping on an ancient bronze halberd, and looked over calmly.

Upon seeing this, Yao Han first bowed to him:

"Junior Brother Yao Han, is this Senior Brother Xu Wen in person?"

Xu Wen looked him up and down a few times with a blank expression:

"Yes."

"Greetings, Senior Brother Xu. I have long admired your reputation and have wanted to pay you a visit, but I have been busy with my secluded cultivation and have not had the opportunity until now. I hope you will not take offense."

"It's nothing. Cultivators are not bound by worldly formalities. Congratulations on your advancement to Foundation Establishment, Junior Brother."

"It was just luck; I can't compare to my senior brother."

Xu Wen's cultivation level is at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

"I simply started learning earlier. If you have no other important matters to attend to, junior brother, I shall take my leave now."

"Alright, since you have something to attend to, please go ahead and do your work."

Xu Wen nodded to him, then mounted his halberd and flew towards his own cave.

Watching his disappearing light, Yao Han couldn't help but chuckle:

Su Yao's four disciples are indeed all unique and have very different personalities.

This Senior Brother Xu Wen seems to be like He Muran, a person who is devoted to cultivation and not good at socializing. He only said three sentences.

If it were Fang Tingyu or Jiang Fanyu, they wouldn't be able to stop after three sentences; they'd probably be chatting from morning till midnight.

His chance encounter with Xu Wen was just a minor incident; his destination today was Jiang Fanyu's cave.

With a flash of light, Yao Han landed lightly outside the door.

Jiang Fanyu's island was different from others. There were no defensive formations outside, and many lush green bamboos grew near the gate, forming a continuous expanse around the stream. The bamboo leaves swayed and rustled in the wind, which was quite a beautiful sight.

I wonder if his sweet bamboo wine is brewed using these bamboos as ingredients.

After looking around, Yao Han sent a communication talisman into the mansion. A moment later, a muffled sound came from the stone gate, and the gate opened wide, revealing a familiar figure walking towards him.

"Haha, Junior Brother Yao, I knew you'd come. What do you mean? Have you already made up your mind?"

Looking at his signature hearty smile, Yao Han smiled slightly and gave a brief fist salute:

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Senior Brother. I wanted to come earlier, but I didn't expect it to take me a little longer to consolidate my cultivation."

"Junior brother, there's no need to stand on ceremony with me. Since you've come all this way, you must have already made up your mind. I don't have any other urgent matters to attend to right now, so why don't we set off immediately?"

"That's exactly what I was thinking. However, I plan to purchase some elixirs and magical artifacts on this trip. If we pass through any immortal cities or markets along the way, I hope we can stop there for a while."

"No problem. The cave isn't going to disappear on its own anyway, so it doesn't matter if it's a day earlier or later. Junior Brother, please wait here for a moment. I'll go back to my residence to tidy up a bit and come out right away!"

"it is good."

After about half an incense stick's time, two beams of light leaped up from the island and flew south.

"Junior Brother Yao, why are you still using the Water Pattern Sword issued by the sect? It's far too slow. Come, hop on my Frost Snow Leaf Sword, I'll give you a ride!"

Jiang Fanyu pointed a finger at the flying leaf beneath his feet, and the frosty white leaf more than doubled in size. Yao Han smiled slightly, sheathed his Water Pattern Sword, and leaped onto it.

Although he had the Impermanent Boat for transportation, its dark escape light was rather conspicuous, and Yao Han did not want to use it within the sect. Since Jiang Fanyu had taken the initiative to invite him, he could save some of his magical power.

"However, Junior Brother is indeed a wealthy man. The day Senior Sister He came out of seclusion, I was really shocked. You know, there are only a handful of inner disciples in the sect who possess top-grade magic weapons. Apart from Senior Sister He, who is a direct disciple, only the rich young men from the Hidden Star and Shen Lu lineages can produce a few."

"Before joining the sect, I spent some time in the market and made a little money, but I can't compare to the wealthy families in the sect."

Yao Han repeated the same explanation she had given to Su Yao to Jiang Fanyu.

The latter looked as if he had just realized something:

"No wonder! I didn't expect that Feixia would have such a shrewd businessman. It seems I'll have to ask my junior brother for guidance in the future."

"Senior brother, you flatter me too much. If I truly possessed such great abilities, why would I need to seek refuge with the Water Moon Palace..."

Like Fang Tingyu, Jiang Fanyu couldn't keep her mouth shut. The two chatted idly along the way, and soon they left the sect's territory and arrived in the pine forest shrouded in thick fog.

Yao Han stood on the falling leaves, gazing into the distance, a glint of light flashing in his eyes:

"Judging by the direction, we're flying southwest? Are we heading to Jiuyinfang Market?"

"That's right. The Juyi Gang's stronghold is located in Jiuyin Market. Let's go find my friend first, and he can lead the way so we can set off together."

Yao Han nodded slightly, her eyes seemingly glancing casually behind her, before suddenly changing the subject:

"Senior Brother Jiang, shouldn't it just be the two of us on this trip? Did you find other helpers within the sect?"

Jiang Fanyu was taken aback, and the frost-covered leaves beneath her feet slowed down by half a beat:

"What do you mean by that, Junior Brother? An opportunity like the Core Formation Relic Mansion is naturally something we shouldn't let go of to outsiders. I don't trust the people from other island lineages either..."

Jiang Fanyu stopped halfway through his sentence. He was not stupid and had already noticed something amiss from Yao Han's expression.

He immediately stopped the flying leaf in mid-air, turned around and looked back, put two fingers together in front of his chest, his eyes flashing with a watery blue spiritual light, and cast his divine sense toward the two people behind him.

After scanning the forest below for a while, Jiang Fanyu scratched his head, somewhat puzzled:

"Junior Brother Yao, I didn't notice anything. Are you just overthinking it?"

Yao Han remained silent, only looking up at the sky, waving his hand to his lips, and sending a distant whisper:

"Fellow Daoists, daring to follow us here, aren't you afraid of incurring the wrath of the Water Moon Palace? Since you're here, why not show yourself and have a chat?"

As soon as they finished speaking, four blurry figures suddenly appeared in the sky behind them and descended in their direction.

Jiang Fanyu's face froze.
