Ascended Without Me: Cultivating with a Genius Son | Chapter 107 | The Wanderer Appears | Novela.app

The Immortal Tea House was an asset of the Yuxuan Sect, and its staff were naturally quite discerning. One look at the waist tokens of Li Xue and Li Lin told the attendant they were Guest Elders. Since Chi Ze and Hei Yan were also Core Formation cultivators, he did not dare neglect a single one of them. This flagship tea house was indeed extraordinary. It offered various spiritual teas and wines, as well as an assortment of exquisite and delicious spiritual snacks. While Li Lin was indifferent—food being a mere luxury to him—Li Xue, Chi Ze, and Hei Yan ate with great delight. "Xiao Ze, you still have some of that Golden Ape King’s spiritual wine, don't you? You're being quite stingy not bringing it out for me to taste again!" Yu Nanshan complained to Chi Ze. Chi Ze immediately clutched his storage belt tightly, saying warily, "I say, Senior Brother, how many times have you asked for it? Didn't I already give you half a gourd? You drank it too fast; I only have a tiny bit left!" "Xiao Ze, just bring out a little bit. I’ll only have one small cup, alright?" Yu Nanshan was a true drunkard; no amount of spiritual wine was ever enough for him. Chi Ze refused to budge, and as the two of them haggled, Li Xue and the others stifled their laughter. This scene had played out countless times. Yu Nanshan thought about that wine every single day; everyone suspected that the main reason he stuck so close to Chi Ze was largely due to the spiritual wine. *Crash!* A heavy impact suddenly resounded from downstairs. A powerful and terrifying pressure erupted, causing everyone to cough up several mouthfuls of blood. Fortunately, they all managed to circulate their spiritual power in time to protect their minds. Did someone actually dare to cause trouble on Yuxuan Sect territory? Suddenly, a sharp whistle echoed in the sky above the market. The terrifying pressure eased slightly before gradually dissipating. The cultivators within the Immortal Tea House finally breathed a sigh of relief, though they remained on high alert, not daring to breathe too loudly. "What business brings Fellow Daoist to the Yuxuan Market?" A gentle-looking young cultivator appeared in the lobby of the tea house. "Grandmaster Cang Yu!" Yu Nanshan stood up excitedly and hurried to the window of the private room to look down into the lobby. Li Xue and the others also rushed over, wanting to see exactly who dared to stir up trouble for the Yuxuan Sect. Chi Ze sent a divine sense transmission to Li Xue and the rest: "God-Monarch Cang Yu is currently guarding the market. The one looking for trouble must also be a Spirit Severing God-Monarch!" The moment Li Xue saw the Spirit Severing cultivator in the lobby, her temper flared. A middle-aged man with white hair and red robes—wasn't that the unethical cultivator who had messed with the teleportation array? He was the one who had sent the three of them to Mount Beimeng, where Li Lin and Hei Yan had nearly become food for a Rank 5 demon beast. How did this scoundrel dare to show his face here and cause trouble for the Yuxuan Sect! Yu Nanshan noticed Li Xue, Li Lin, and Hei Yan all glaring at the outsider with eyes that looked ready to devour him. Feeling strange, he asked via transmission, "Do you know that evil cultivator from beyond the domain?" "An evil cultivator from beyond the domain?" Li Lin asked in surprise. "Yes. He is a late-stage Spirit Severing cultivator from outside our domain. News from abroad says his surname is Yuan and his title is Bugui. He calls himself the Wanderer Bugui. He has traveled through many star domains just to find certain materials!" Yu Nanshan explained. At this, a sharp light flashed simultaneously in the eyes of Li Xue and Li Lin. From Yu Nanshan’s words, it was clear that traveling beyond the domain was extremely dangerous without sufficient strength; encountering such an evil cultivator could easily cost one's life. Furthermore, the fact that the Yuxuan Sect could receive news from beyond the domain suggested they maintained contact with the outside world. "So he's just a spineless turtle-bastard. No wonder he has no ethics!" Li Xue said hatefully. "Pfft!" Hei Yan laughed crudely, while Li Lin offered a faint smile. By now, Yu Nanshan had heard from Chi Ze about their encounter at the teleportation array and sighed in sympathy. Down in the lobby, Yuan Bugui had completely retracted his Spirit Severing pressure. He spoke to God-Monarch Cang Yu, "Fellow Daoist Cang Yu, I came here firstly for this lad." He pointed to a male cultivator in green robes held in his grasp. The man was at the late stage of Core Formation, but his face was currently as pale as paper and his entire body was trembling. Yuan Bugui continued, "And secondly, I am here to find materials!" God-Monarch Cang Yu glanced at the green-robed cultivator and said, "If I am not mistaken, this person belongs to the Tie family. I wonder how he has offended you, Fellow Daoist?" Since a member of the Tie family had been seized within the Yuxuan Market, he had to ask for clarification regardless, or it would be difficult to give the Tie family an explanation. "Humph, this brat deceived me and tried to slip away on his own. It won't be that easy. I will settle this matter with the Tie family myself; it has nothing to do with your sect!" Yuan Bugui replied. Even he did not quite dare to offend the Yuxuan Sect on their own home turf. "In that case, it is not convenient for me to interfere. However, as for the materials you seek, I fear the Yuxuan Market may not necessarily have them." God-Monarch Cang Yu thought to himself that the materials this Yuan Bugui was searching for must be incredibly precious and rare. It would be best if they weren't anywhere within the Yuxuan Sect's influence, just to avoid trouble. Ignoring Cang Yu’s dismissal, Yuan Bugui said to himself, "The material I am looking for was called Heaven-Extinguishing Wood in ancient times. It has many names today. How will I know if it's here if I don't look?" His voice rang clearly throughout the entire Immortal Tea House. Li Xue’s heart tightened. She quickly took off her two earrings and shoved them into her storage ring. What a joke—if this evil cultivator found out she had Heaven-Extinguishing Wood, he would surely snatch it. Internally, Li Xue was sneering. *Go ahead, look all you want. I’d rather let the Heaven-Extinguishing Wood rot in my storage ring than give it to a turtle-bastard like you. That's what you get for having no ethics!* She even felt the urge to step forward and slap him back to the outer domains. Suddenly, the Wanderer Bugui’s gaze swept toward the private rooms. When he saw Li Xue and the others, he let out a soft "Eh?" in surprise. He remembered those two youngsters—weren't they the ones from the teleportation array that day? So they were people of the Yuxuan Sect. That day, he had teleported into the array just as he saw the coordinates for Planet Jinxing and activated the transfer immediately. He hadn't realized he had missed the mark, sending them to the northern region. With his temperament, he naturally hadn't cared about the fate of two children and had long since put the matter out of his mind. When two Spirit Severing cultivators negotiated, their divine sense was constantly monitoring every movement in the vicinity. How could Li Xue’s small movement just now escape the divine sense of a Spirit Severing cultivator? The Wanderer Bugui’s interest was piqued. Grinning, he asked, "Little girl, what did you just hide? Bring it out for this old man to see." Li Xue’s heart sank with regret. He was a Spirit Severing cultivator; how could she have been so careless? However, she tried her best to maintain a calm expression. God-Monarch Cang Yu frowned slightly. He was also aware of Li Xue’s movement, but surely it couldn't be such a coincidence that she was hiding Heaven-Extinguishing Wood? He looked at her waist token again—a Guest Elder. Since she was a member of the Yuxuan Sect, he could not allow her to be looked down upon. "Fellow Daoist Bugui, the Yuxuan Sect welcomes those from beyond the domain. However, this junior is a Guest Elder of our sect. If you have no further business, please suit yourself!" God-Monarch Cang Yu had already begun to see the man out.
