Junior sister, I really need to control you.
Chapter 298 The Invitation of the Deputy Island Master
Inside the palace.
"Young Master of Polaris Island, Tantai Jing, greets Young Master Li." The star-crowned beauty bowed.
"Greetings, Fairy Tantai. I am Li Yinsheng, a guest elder of the Yunmeng Chamber of Commerce," Li Yinsheng said, bowing.
The Ten Thousand Mountains and the Taihao Immortal Sect are probably not well-known in the East Sea, so he simply used the guest elder of the Yunmeng Chamber of Commerce, which was the most presentable identity for him.
Upon hearing Li Yinsheng's words, a hint of joy flashed across Tantai Jing's eyes.
A guest elder of the Yunmeng Chamber of Commerce? Doesn't that mean he has no power at all?
Since he has no power, it will be much easier to invite him to join Polaris Island!
Tantai Jing subconsciously raised her hand to tuck a strand of silver hair behind her ear, then gave Li Yinsheng a subtle smile.
The maid Qing'er, standing to the side, suppressed the urge to roll her eyes and remained expressionless.
This was the first time she had ever seen her young mistress with such a face.
Although the young lady was not averse to finding a cultivation partner, she had extremely high standards. In the past, whether it was the island lord or anyone else, she would always look down on male cultivators of similar age.
Therefore, she has never truly taken a liking to anyone. Even when the island lord mentioned Young Master Li, who had refined the Nebula Pill, she only acknowledged his alchemy skills but still said she needed to examine other aspects further.
"It seems there's no need for further investigation now," the maid thought to herself.
At the same time, looking at the beautiful woman with the star-studded crown smiling in front of him, Li Yinsheng couldn't help but sigh.
Although this person seemed somewhat narcissistic, her appearance was indeed almost flawlessly beautiful.
Even the celestial maiden in the Earthly Immortal Small World back then was inferior to her.
If we don't take into account the Xuanmian Empress, who is suspected to be his junior sister's past life and whom he has only seen in a phantom form.
This fellow Daoist Tantai was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
However, if judged by his personal aesthetic standards, then Fellow Daoist Tantai is not a level above the Heavenly Maiden; they are merely equal.
After all, Fellow Daoist Tantai is living a very peaceful life.
……
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Li Yinsheng was about to find a pretext to ask Tantai Jing about the Four Islands Prodigies Association and the Skyfire.
She abruptly changed the subject, her beautiful silver-gray eyes fixed on Li Yinsheng, and said, "As I see it, although Young Master Li's realm is only at the Dharma Aspect stage, his aura is so profound and majestic that even among Human Immortals, he would be at the third or fourth level. Normal cultivation would never produce such a situation."
"Could it be that Young Master Li's cultivation method incorporates elements of ancient cultivation techniques?"
Although it was a question, her tone and expression were remarkably certain when she said it.
This is the second time someone has pointed out that he has ancient cultivation roots, and the last time it was said that it was by an Earth Immortal.
Li Yinsheng nodded: "Fairy Tantai has keen insight and broad knowledge. I admire her."
"Young master, you are too kind. It is not that I, Tantai, am very knowledgeable, but rather that I have a few fellow Daoists on Polar Star Island who cultivate ancient methods, which is why I have some understanding of them," Tantai Jing said modestly, covering her face with her fan.
The maid stood to the side pouring tea for Baohua, barely able to suppress the urge to roll her eyes.
If she hadn't known that the young lady was faking it, she would have suspected that someone was incredibly audacious enough to try and possess the young master of Polaris Island.
"So that's how it is. I didn't expect there to be real ancient cultivators in the East Sea..." Li Yinsheng said with some surprise.
Although he had heard that there were a very few cultivators in the world who specialized in ancient methods, he had never actually heard of anyone practicing this path.
"Moreover, because our ancestor on the island was extremely interested in the ancient cultivation path, there are many ancient cultivation traditions on the island, all of which were collected by our ancestor personally."

"In addition, the patriarch also has a close relationship with a reclusive force that mainly consists of ancient cultivators, and can also introduce you to the young master."
"Ancestor? Could it be that Polar Star Ancestor who is only half a step away from becoming a Celestial Immortal?!" Fairy Baohua exclaimed in surprise.
Tantai Jing looked at Baohua expressionlessly, nodded casually, and said indifferently, "Not bad."
Fairy Baohua was not surprised by her change—she had met this Fairy Tantai several times before, and she had always been like this.
"The ancient cultivation method, then thank you very much, Fairy Tantai..." Li Yinsheng said calmly.
He wasn't particularly interested in the ancient cultivation system itself; the ancient methods, in general, were not as advanced as the modern methods, only their limits were roughly the same.
It's just that the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Shen Jue he cultivated was too profound; it doesn't mean that other ancient techniques were also very powerful.
Seeing that Li Yinsheng didn't seem very interested, Tantai Jing was taken aback and somewhat surprised.
In her understanding, most cultivators who specialize in ancient methods have a great desire for cultivation techniques and methods because their own systems are too narrow.
But judging from Li Yinsheng's appearance, it seems that he mainly follows the modern method?
But if the current Dharma is the primary method, why would someone whose realm is still a Dharma form yet whose aura surpasses that of many human immortals? Just as she was puzzled, Li Yinsheng asked.
"Speaking of which, I heard the other day that the gathering of geniuses from the four sacred islands is just around the corner?"
Tantai Jing's heart stirred slightly, and she nodded: "It will be in five years. Is Young Master Li perhaps interested?"
"Yes, I am indeed very interested in the aerial fire that is one of the rewards," Li Yinsheng frankly admitted.
"After all, I have now gathered the fire in the wood and the fire in the stone. I only need the fire in the air to cultivate the Samadhi Fire Divine Power."
A look of realization flashed across Tantai Jing's eyes.
"The Samadhi Fire is indeed an extremely powerful supernatural ability, and since Young Master Li is an alchemist, it will be even more useful to you."
"However, let me remind you, cultivating the three types of sub-fire does not equate to mastering the Samadhi Fire."
"The most dangerous and difficult step is to completely fuse the three sub-fires together, making them indistinguishable from one another."
"To achieve this, one must first fuse one's own essence, energy, and spirit with the three Dao Fire origins, and then use oneself as a furnace to fuse them together."
"Without sufficient preparation and the protection of a powerful earth immortal, it would be a nine-out-of-ten chance of death."
Seeing Tantai Jing's serious expression, Li Yinsheng nodded: "Thank you for the reminder, Fairy Tantai." Tantai Jing remained silent for a few moments.
Didn't you understand what I meant? I said that if you want to fuse with the Samadhi Fire, you need the protection of an Earth Immortal!
Our Polaris Island has several Earth Immortal Ancestors!
"However, integration is a matter for later. The main problem I'm facing now is that cultivators from the non-four islands cannot participate in the Heavenly Pride Gathering," Li Yinsheng said.
Tantai Jing's eyes lit up: "Then Fellow Daoist Li should come to Polaris Island! With Fellow Daoist Li's alchemy skills, he could easily become a deputy island lord on my Polaris Island!"
Deputy Island Master?!
Baohua, who was sipping tea with her head down, suddenly looked up, not even caring that there was still tea on her lips.
Li Yinsheng was also completely taken aback.
He had thought that at most Polaris Island would invite him to be an elder, but now he's offered to be the deputy island master.
Although even the island lord is not the one with the highest cultivation or the most prestigious position, apart from a few Earth Immortals, the deputy island lord can truly be described as second only to the emperor and above all others.
Seeing Li Yinsheng finally show a look of astonishment, Tantai Jing couldn't help but curl up her lips.
But she soon saw Li Yinsheng shake his head. "I am used to a life of leisure, and to be honest, I am not from the East Sea, so I will not stay long."
Li Yinsheng said, "If your island doesn't mind, I'm willing to take on a sinecure."
"But I'm afraid he's not up to the task of being the deputy island lord."
"A sinecure?! Young master, you wouldn't be referring to a guest minister or a courtier, would you?" Tantai Jing's voice rose in pitch.
Li Yinsheng nodded.
"Young master, please don't take offense at my bluntness. Those who serve as guest advisors and retainers, though nominally sharing in the glory, are ultimately still outsiders and cannot truly obtain core resources," Tantai Jing said.
Fairy Baohua's face darkened, but she didn't say anything.
"Who said that? I think I'm quite a core member of the Shangguan family, aren't I?" Li Yinsheng thought to himself.
"Our Polaris Island sincerely desires your services, young master. If you are willing to join us, you will not only become the deputy island lord, but also... and also..."
She pursed her lips before saying, "Tantai also wishes to marry you, young master, and together pursue the Great Dao. In this way, the entire Polaris Island will be your family..."
Fairy Baohua's beautiful eyes widened, and she almost crushed the teacup in her hand.
Although he knew that the young island lord had come here with the intention of recruiting him, the conditions he offered were a bit too much! Faced with these conditions, and the seemingly shy and aloof beauty in front of him, Li Yinsheng blinked and almost blurted out that he didn't like Ping.
But when the words were about to come out, he still changed them with high emotional intelligence.
"Thank you for your kind words, Fairy Tantai, but I already have a Daoist partner, so I'm afraid we are not a suitable match."
Tantai Jing's fingertips twitched, and her breath suddenly surged up, only to be forcibly suppressed by her.
"I see. That makes sense. With such a talented young man as Young Master Li, it's not surprising that a female cultivator admires you and they've become your Daoist partner ahead of time..."
She spoke in a very calm tone, and her fingertips were no longer trembling.
"That female cultivator is truly lucky to have won Young Master Li's favor..."
"I apologize for my presumption, young master, please don't take offense..."
"Heh... Young master, there's no need to apologize. Tantai will naturally not hold it against you..."
"Besides, Tantai isn't in a hurry to find a good match. It's just that you are both talented and handsome, so I was only asking casually. You don't need to take it to heart..."
"By the way, young master, please have some tea!"
"Uh, Young Master Li, please don't misunderstand. Tantai really doesn't care; I was just asking casually." "Besides, compared to pursuing the Great Dao, matters of Dao companionship are merely insignificant minor matters..."
"Young master, would you like some tea?"
