Mortal: Starting in a chaotic starry sea, I can upgrade everything.

Jiang Yu accepted the token made of white jade.

Although the cave's protective barriers could defend against and isolate divine sense probing, he was still uneasy.

Who knows if the Star Palace has any means of spying?

Jiang Yu patted the storage bag at his waist and took out two sets of array plates.

Under the questioning gazes of the two women, two sets of formations were set up, and the restrictions enveloped the entire cave.

"Young master, what's wrong?"

Yanli opened her cherry-like, luscious red lips.

Jiang Yu smiled and explained, "These are the Concealing Spirit Array and the Four Symbols Illusion Annihilation Array, which can conceal our aura and protect our cave."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao, who was standing to the side, seemed to be deep in thought.

Yanli didn't seem to think anything of it, but said sweetly, "Young Master, isn't there already a restrictive formation?"

"This is Tianxing City, who dares to act recklessly here?"

"Remember this: in the cultivation world, don't trust anyone too easily. Be careful in everything you do, you can't go wrong, understand?"

Jiang Yu suddenly looked slightly serious.

He remembered that in the original story, Yanli suffered a terrible injury because of her carelessness and poor judgment of people.

This can't go on.

It seems I need to spend more time disciplining this maid and teaching her the wickedness of human nature.

"Oh, I understand."

Perhaps realizing she had said the wrong thing, Yanli quickly lowered her head.

Seeing this, Jiang Yu nodded slightly.

We've given her the stick, but we can't skimp on the sweet dates either, otherwise it would hurt her self-esteem.

Then, he reached out and gently stroked the red-clad maid's delicate head and face, speaking in a gentle tone:

"Xiao Yan, the young master is just concerned about you. After all, it's hard to find a beautiful and well-behaved maid like you in the Chaotic Star Sea."

"Alright, let's go inside the new cave and take a look."

Hmm... Young Master said that I am also caring for him. It turns out that I am so important to him.

Yanli's thoughts subtly shifted, her cheeks flushed instantly, and she murmured softly, "Mmm..."

Afterwards, Jiang Yu entered the cave with two beautiful maids, and thus, he successfully settled down in Tianxing City.

.........

After arranging everything in an orderly and efficient manner, three days had passed.

On this day, Jiang Yu left his two beautiful maids behind and went out of his cave alone, heading straight for the bustling Tianxing City market.

Before long, Jiang Yu arrived at the front of a shop and murmured to himself as he looked at the antique-style plaque.

"The Myriad Sounds Gate, this is it."

Then he stepped straight in.

As soon as Jiang Yu entered the door, the surroundings changed dramatically. The environment became quiet, and the pavilions were hidden among the bamboo shadows.

It turned out to be a completely different world.

A breeze rustles through the treetops, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere.

Immediately, a faint melody of a zither lingered in my ears, carrying a touch of sorrow and desolation.

Jiang Yu frowned slightly, realizing that something was wrong with the music.

The name "妙音妙音" (Miaoyin Miaoyin) implies that it should be a sound of enjoyment and happiness, so how could it be a sound of sorrow?

No, this is an illusion!

Jiang Yu snapped out of his daze, focused his mind, and his vision blurred as he returned to reality.

So that's how it is. There's no bamboo grove, pavilion, or beautiful scenery here.

There were only counters like those in ordinary shops, with a few women in purple behind them.

Jiang Yu was deeply impressed; he hadn't expected... that the Miaoyin Sect had some tricks up its sleeve.

"Sir, what would you like to do for me?"

A female disciple of the Miaoyin Sect on duty saw Jiang Yu at the entrance and asked him a question.

Jiang Yu stepped forward and explained his purpose: he wanted to sell a batch of monster materials.

He then took out all sorts of low-level demon beast materials, the quantity and quality of which shocked the disciples present.

That female disciple was just a lowly Qi Refining disciple; she had never seen so many things before.

Knowing that this was not something she could handle on her own, and not daring to make a decision on her own, she apologized and hurriedly went to ask the person in charge.

Before long, a young woman in green walked slowly towards them. She had a cool and aloof appearance, an otherworldly air, and a hint of detachment in her eyes.

Jiang Yu scanned the woman with his divine sense and found that her cultivation was at the peak of Qi Refining.

The woman's gaze fell on Jiang Yu, and her aloofness vanished, replaced by humility and gentleness. She stepped forward and curtsied.

"My name is Zhuo Ruting. May I ask your honorable name, fellow Daoist?"

"My surname is Jiang, my given name is Yu, and my courtesy name is Hengyu."

"So it's Fellow Daoist Jiang. Please come inside to discuss this matter."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu's expression darkened slightly.

He thought to himself, "It's just selling some materials, why do we have to hide it?"

He paused for a moment and then said, "Okay."

Jiang Yu retrieved the materials from the counter and followed Zhuo Ruting into the back mansion. They passed through two corridors and entered a spacious building.

Inside the pavilion, a subtle fragrance wafted in the air.

An ancient zither lay across the table, which reminded him of the zither music in his dream.

Looking up, one could see a graceful and mature woman in purple sitting behind the zither, with an exquisite face and charming demeanor.

The stunningly beautiful woman possessed a gentle and refined beauty, along with an air of dignified elegance and poise.

His body exuded a restrained and subtle spiritual energy, yet it possessed a profound and steady aura of power.

Upon seeing this beautiful woman, Jiang Yu couldn't help but recall a saying from his past life: purple is the most...

"Master, the person has been brought."

As soon as Zhuo Ruting finished speaking, she stood respectfully behind the beautiful woman in purple.

Upon hearing the word "Master," Jiang Yu's pupils constricted slightly.

Instantly, he learned the woman's identity: the sect leader of the Miaoyin Sect, and the mother of the future famous Purple Spirit Fairy.

That shouldn't be the case. It was just selling monster materials; how could it have alarmed this person?

Just as he was pondering, the beautiful woman in the purple dress smiled faintly, rose, bowed respectfully, and then said:

"This must be Fellow Daoist Jiang. I am Zhou Yuan, and I greet you. I'm sure you have many questions, so please take a seat and let's discuss them in detail."

The woman in purple exuded gentleness in every word and action, making her very pleasant to behold.

A look of astonishment flashed across Jiang Yu's face for a moment, and he immediately returned the greeting: "Jiang Yu greets Sect Leader Zhou."

He wasn't just confused, he was absolutely shocked.

A Core Formation cultivator actually took the initiative to bow to him, a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Even though his strength is already such that he is no longer afraid of ordinary Core Formation cultivators.

If word gets out, he'll probably be viewed with newfound respect and gossip.

Sit quietly for a moment.

Two beautiful female disciples then stepped forward to pour tea, which was fragrant and flavorful.

Jiang Yu was unsure of the woman's intentions and said, "I am merely a Foundation Establishment cultivator and do not deserve such a grand gesture from Sect Master Zhou."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "My attitude here is naturally an acknowledgment of Fellow Daoist Jiang's strength, since Foundation Establishment cultivators cannot see through my Mystic Sound Illusion."

"The Enchanted Sound Illusion, so that's what it was like when I first entered."

Jiang Yu muttered to himself.

His ability to see through illusions is simply due to his spiritual sense being slightly stronger than others of the same level.

"In addition, we must thank you for sending a large amount of demon beast materials, which has relieved our sect's immediate crisis."

As she spoke, Zhou Yuan's expression carried a hint of relief.

Jiang Yu didn't reply, but instead tossed two storage bags onto the wooden table.

"Sect Leader Zhou, let's name a price for these monster materials first."

Zhou Yuan was somewhat surprised by his reaction, then her expression turned serious as she took the storage bag.

After a moment, Zhou Yuan, her expression slightly agitated, said in a trembling voice, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, our sect can afford these materials for 100,000 spirit stones, but could the spirit stones be delivered later...?"

"I'm sorry, I don't have the habit of letting people buy on credit."

Jiang Yu sneered inwardly. Did they think they could get something for nothing?
