"I didn't expect that, just after moving to this side of Canglong Immortal City, I would encounter such a grand event! I wonder who exactly we are welcoming this time, to actually cause such a big commotion that even the Nascent Soul official of the Commercial House is making such a fuss!"

In the crowd, Xie Shao'an, who occupied a small hill due to his identity advantage, was full of curiosity and anticipation in his words and expressions.

Indeed, whether mortal or cultivator, they couldn't escape their nature of being interested in gossip.

Especially...

This kind of event that caused turmoil in the entire continent.

"You are now a formal guest of the Commercial House, don't you know what exactly happened?" Chen Shu, who was holding a child in her arms beside him, also spoke with some surprise.

Xie Shao'an couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

"I am just a middle-grade guest of the Yellow Stage. If it were in the branch, I would still have some say, but on this side of the division... my status and position are probably not even as good as an ordinary shopkeeper."

"What about Uncle?"

Chen Shu continued unwillingly, still not giving up.

"He is already a lower-grade guest of the Profound Stage now, even if it's in the branch, he should have some status, right? Don't tell me he doesn't know either?"

"I really don't know."

Xie Shao'an shook his head slightly.

"He is a guest of the Profound Stage, a Gold Core cultivator! A Gold Core cultivator!"

Chen Shu opened her mouth in disbelief, obviously... this had exceeded her understanding.

"So what if he's a Gold Core cultivator?"

Xie Shao'an sighed lightly.

"To put it bluntly, in Canglong Immortal City, people like you and me, as long as we have some savings and enough time, we can also achieve Gold Core."

"Here, even Gold Core cultivators are just passersby."

"I guess if you want to know the inside story of this matter, you need at least a Nascent Soul true lord!"

Nascent Soul true lord!

Upon hearing these four words, Chen Shu's face changed slightly.

But soon it returned to normal.

If it were before, these four words might have overwhelmed her.

As for now...

Although these four words were still out of reach, the Gold Core cultivators below them might be able to make an impact!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Xie Shao'an more.

Fortunately, she made the right choice between the two of them.

Otherwise...

Not to mention crossing the threshold of Foundation Building, it would be uncertain whether they could escape from Fulong City.

"Hmm? Isn't that... Brother Ji's wife?"

Just as Chen Shu's thoughts were wandering, Xie Shao'an suddenly spoke.

He saw a middle-aged cultivator not far behind, accompanied by two stunning female cultivators, walking towards them.

After looking at them several times to confirm that he hadn't mistaken the person, Xie Shao'an smiled and greeted them.

"Shao'an greets Sister-in-law!"

...

Today, Xiao Ninger and Ye Qingqing were preparing to practice as usual, and then prepare a table of food in the evening and wait for Ji Boying to return.

However...

Before it was even evening, someone knocked on the door of their small courtyard.

Immediately after, they saw Yun Qianshan, full of joy, saying that Ji Boying would return today, asking them to tidy up a bit and prepare to go out of the city to welcome him.

In the past, the two of them would obey Ji Boying's instructions and never step out of the branch, only welcoming him in the courtyard.

But...

Yun Qianshan kept inviting them, saying that there would be a surprise over there.

Out of trust, the two of them finally agreed.

After all, before Ji Boying left, he said that if there were any difficulties, they could ask Yun Qian for help.

Like this, the two of them left the residence with Yun Qianshan.

As a result, when they arrived outside the city, they found a sea of people gathered here, with countless cultivators.

Even... Gold Core cultivators could be seen everywhere.

Just as the two of them were curious about what had happened...

Xiao Ninger heard a familiar voice from the side.

Turning her head, she saw her husband's good friend whom she had met before.

"It turns out to be Young Master Xie and Miss Chen!"

Xiao Ning'er bowed in greeting.

"I never expected to see Sister-in-law in Canglong Immortal City. It's truly a strange coincidence! By the way... where is Brother Ji?"

Xie Shao'an smiled, clearly delighted to meet Xiao Ning'er.

Chen Shu, who was standing beside them, also showed a hint of surprise in her eyes upon seeing Xiao Ning'er.

She never expected the other party to appear in Canglong Immortal City!

Could it be... that person also stumbled upon some incredible opportunity?

It seems that their good fortune runs deep.

However, compared to Xie Shao'an, they are still lacking.

No matter how great the opportunity, it is difficult for low-level cultivators to change their fate.

Unlike Xie Shao'an, who is now a middle-grade guest official of the Wan Dao Trading Company and has an uncle who is a lower-grade guest official.

Their future prospects are limitless!

Buzz!

Just as her thoughts were wandering, a roar of a flying boat suddenly came from a distance.

Immediately, Wu Yuanyu, Yang Qingshan, and other Nascent Soul stage figures at the front of the group took to the air.

As the flying boat approached their location, a resounding voice echoed through the sky.

"The branch headquarters of the Wan Dao Trading Company in Dongcang Xuanzhou welcomes the return of Mr. Ji, accompanied by all the elders, guest officials, shopkeepers, and stewards of the company...!"

As the voice fell, the elders, guest officials, shopkeepers, and stewards at the front, including Xie Shao'an, began to bow in respect.

"We respectfully welcome Mr. Ji!"

On the flying boat, Ji Boying had just stopped the boat when he heard this earth-shattering voice.

He slowly walked to the edge of the deck and, with just a slight lift of his eyes, saw Wu Yuanyu and the others not far away.

However...

When his gaze looked down, he froze on the spot.

On the open space outside the main city, it was as if sesame seeds were spread densely, with countless people moving about!

Not only that... at the forefront of the crowd, thousands of elders, guest officials, shopkeepers, and stewards were bowing in respect, displaying sincere and humble attitudes!

Su Ling, who had also come to the edge of the deck, saw this scene and jokingly said with a touch of sarcasm,

"Mr. Ji, you really have a lot of face."

"Unlike me, although we are both members of the Wan Dao Pavilion and I am also a special envoy of the headquarters, there was only one person to welcome me."

"Fellow Daoist Su is joking."

Ji Boying felt embarrassed.

He looked at the people present and quickly enveloped his voice with his blood and qi, saying loudly,

"Thank you all for your grand welcome. If you have urgent matters, you may leave first."

Then, he looked at Wu Yuanyu and the others not far away and smiled,

"I am truly flattered by the grand reception from all the elders. Mr. Ji... is overwhelmed!"

"Mr. Ji is too polite."

"Mr. Ji is now a core member of the Wan Dao Pavilion, and his status and position have greatly changed. Such etiquette and ceremony are only natural!"

Wu Yuanyu, who stood at the strongest side, answered with great respect.

Although he had a close relationship with Ji Boying, the latter was now a member of the Wan Dao Pavilion, so basic etiquette and respect were still necessary.

"Oh, right!"

Wu Yuanyu seemed to remember something and smiled,

"I informed Manager Yun and asked him to bring the two ladies with him to join us."

"Just now, I took a look, and the three of them are here at the scene."

Ji Boying's expression changed slightly.

His gaze quickly swept through the crowd of the trading company in front, and in the blink of an eye, he found Xiao Ning'er, Ye Qingqing, and Yun Qianshan among the sea of people.

In addition to them... he also saw an old friend from the past standing beside the three.
