Su Xiaomo left with Xia Shuiyun.

Eternal Sect disciples continued cultivating, doing missions, and exploring various secret realms. Their days passed plain, simple, and monotonous.

Jun Changxiao wasn’t idle either, piloting the Eternal to cruise through the Cangyun System.

Whenever passing a plane, he would definitely go in to look around—not to show off, but to buy medicinal materials.

The greening of the Eternal Realm was still continuing and required large batches of medicinal materials to keep up. At the same time, medicinal materials for refining Six-Flavor Earth Origin Pills also needed to be purchased.

The pill formula required materials of too high a level. Ordinary planes naturally had difficulty selling them, which made Jun Changxiao very irritated.

During this period.

He also browsed the shop.

Unfortunately his luck was too terrible—used up all his chances with nothing to show for it.

“How can you expect me to trust you if this continues?” Jun Changxiao complained.

The system said: “As the saying goes, sincerity leads to success. The host lacks sincerity.”

“…”

Jun Changxiao rolled his eyes.

“Today is the Ten Thousand Flower Festival at Tianyun Realm. Want to go take a look?” Hua Meigui said.

The plane they were in was called Tianyun Realm—ordinary and unremarkable. However, every year there was a large-scale flower festival, and they’d arrived at this place just in time for it.

“Alright.”

Jun Changxiao said: “Idle anyway.”

The two walked out from their room, then left the inn, heading straight for the area within the city where the flower festival was being held.

The streets were decorated with lanterns and colored streamers, bustling with activity.

Whether men, women, old or young, all wore bright clothing and flower crowns on their heads, faces full of happiness.

“Pretty big sister.”

A young girl selling flower crowns ran over, looking up with a smile: “Want a flower crown?”

After inheriting the Rainbow Soul created by Hua Qianxing, Hua Meigui’s appearance combined the enchanting allure of the Soul Clan with nobility, so children easily thought of her as a fairy descended from heaven.

“Yes.”

Jun Changxiao said.

“Handsome big brother, do you want one too?” the young girl asked.

This “handsome big brother” pleased Dog Leftover greatly. He delivered a head pat, smiling: “Give us two.”

Men and women participating in the flower festival all had to wear flower crowns, symbolizing happiness and well-being. Since they were going to observe, they naturally had to follow local customs.

“I wish fairy sister and immortal brother to grow old together and never part!” the young girl said sweetly.

“Wait.”

Just then, a young man called out to her, bought two flower crowns, and said: “Xiaolou, let me help you put it on.”

“Mm.”

The accompanying young woman shyly lowered her head.

This scene was seen by Hua Meigui. She turned around: “Will you help me put it on?”

“…”

Fine, fine, I’ll satisfy this request of hers.

“Lower your head.”

“Slap!”

Jun Changxiao made a big motion of plopping the flower crown on Hua Meigui’s head. Fortunately her strength was formidable—if it were a girl without cultivation, her neck would probably have snapped on the spot.

…

The Ten Thousand Flower Festival naturally featured flowers.

In the city’s central area, various potted plants and flowers gathered together, competing in splendor.

However.

When Jun Changxiao brought Hua Meigui in, when that peerless beauty walked among them, even wearing the plainest clothing, she still made all the flowers bow their heads in shame.

“A fairy descended from heaven!”

Passersby all exclaimed in admiration, scholars and literati furrowing their brows even more.

They were considering what poetry and prose to use to describe this beauty, ultimately concluding that any flowery language was inadequate for comparison.

“As expected.”

Jun Changxiao shook his head: “Beautiful women, no matter where they go, are always a beautiful scenic line.”

“Praising me?”

“Uh…”

The two toured the Ten Thousand Flower Festival for an hour, then went to a nearby food street and shopping street, looking exactly like a couple out on a date.

As for what they ate, bought, played with, and what romantic scenes occurred—these won’t be described, to avoid hurting single readers.

Returning to the Eternal Realm, Jun Changxiao said: “This counts as traveling.”

“Just once?”

“How many more times do you want?”

“At least like Xiaomo, going out to travel for a few months.”

“Please! I’m a sect master!”

Yuan Gongzi happened to be in the great hall. Seizing the opportunity, he said: “Sect matters can be left to me.”

“Bang—”

At Spirit Beast Peak, Ah Zi, who had just put on a brand new school uniform, swaggered out of his room. Suddenly hearing a “boom,” he hurriedly turned to look and saw a person’s head embedded in the wall, body in a natural downward hanging state.

“It’s Yuan Gongzi!” Old Niu said.

Ah Zi also judged from the clothing, especially remembering being fined ten thousand beast pills because of Li Qingyang’s breakthrough. He immediately couldn’t control his emotions and looked up at the sky, bursting into laughter.

“Hahaha!”

“Hahahaha!”

“Riiip!”

Because he laughed so happily, because he laughed so uninhibitedly, the brand new school uniform he’d just put on was immediately torn apart by expansion, causing Ah Zi’s smile to freeze and his expression to gradually collapse.

…

The Eternal continued sailing through the Cangyun System. Because there was no rush to reach the Star Spirit Realm, there was no target or destination.

Hard work pays off.

After Jun Changxiao passed another large plane, he obtained news about medicinal materials from passersby.

Holy Medicine Realm.

Medicine fields everywhere.

Rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures everywhere.

“Very good.”

Jun Changxiao’s gaze grew fervent as he ordered Shangguan Xinyao and the others to find this so-called Holy Medicine Realm that people spoke of as quickly as possible within the Cangyun System.

Of course.

Whenever passing planes, he would also go in to inquire.

“Young friend seeks the Holy Medicine Realm?” One day while inquiring in a main city, an old man approached.

“Indeed.”

The old man’s eyes flashed with excitement, though he controlled it well, lowering his voice: “This old one knows the way, but…”

“But what?”

“I lack a flying vessel to leave the plane.”

“I have one.”

Jun Changxiao said: “You just need to guide the way.”

With that, one hand gripped the old man’s shoulder, bringing him flying toward the firmament, flying out of the plane, merging into the Eternal.

The entire process was like riding a roller coaster. When he stood in the cockpit, his already sparse white hair was standing completely upright.

“Young friend!”

The old man hurriedly cupped his fists: “You are no ordinary person!”

To easily bring him through the plane barrier—this person’s strength was definitely formidable!

“Guide the way.”

Jun Changxiao didn’t want to waste time.

The old man looked at the outside universe where starlight occasionally flickered, working hard to recall memories from his youth, pointing eastward: “Go in that direction!”

The Cangyun System was far larger than the Canghai System, with nearly ninety percent of its area unexplored. If he relied on himself to search, who knows when that would be. So Jun Changxiao could only rely on him to try his luck.

“Whoosh—”

The Eternal changed direction, flying into the dark region.

“Young friend.”

Along the way, the old man marveled at the battleship’s flight speed while saying gravely: “Though the Holy Medicine Realm contains countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures, it’s equally fraught with danger. Even approaching it requires experiencing various ordeals.”

“What ordeals?”

“Sect Master!”

Just then, Shangguan Xinyao said joyfully: “We’ve discovered a plane. From detection signals, it’s filled with powerful life force. It might be the Holy Medicine Realm.”

Having said this, she silently pressed the deceleration button. The Eternal gradually stopped, because in their field of vision, a light point seemingly wrapped in green light appeared, with cloud-mist-like attributes gathering along its path. Just looking with the naked eye gave an eerie and sinister feeling.

“That’s right.”

The old man said gravely: “That is the Holy Medicine Realm!”

“However…” He paused, pain flashing in his eyes: “To approach it, one must pass through the Nine Thunder Cloud Layers surrounding the vicinity.”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

Just then, dozens of thick lightning bolts erupted from the rolling cloud layers ahead, not only dispelling the darkness but leaving extremely obvious scorch marks in the void.

The old man stumbled back two steps in fright.

From that undisguised fearful gaze, one could guess he’d probably experienced this before and formed psychological trauma.

“Just this?”

Jun Changxiao’s face showed disdain.
