Chapter 230
"Oh, I didn’t expect that Brother Shi would also have . . . " The two people took their respective seats . After that, Zhong Xiu sensed that the aura around Shi Mu’s body had changed . And, she couldn’t help but reveal an expression of surprise as a result .
"I came across a few fortuitous encounters en route from the Wasteland to the west . So, I turned out lucky in coagulating my Qi . By the way Lady Zhong, it seems like you have also broken the bottleneck quite smoothly," Shi Mu smiled .
"I would like to thank Brother Shi for presenting me the Green Frost fruit . Oh… by the way, why did Brother Shi come to the Heavenly Yu City? The Black Demon Sect is the branch of Heavenly Demon Sect as far as I know . I admit that Brother Shi is strong now . But, you shouldn’t be able to attend the Ascension to Immortality Ceremony, right?" Zhong Xiu nodded at first . But, something crossed her mind and she asked again .
"I have come here to find a certain someone," Shi Mu replied after a momentary hesitation .
The glittering smile on Zhong Xiu’s face froze slightly . She was also a quick-witted and clear-sighted person after all…
"That’s right… Brother Shi has reached the consummation stage of the agreement . So, you must be looking for Tian Yin Sect’s Ximen Xue, right?" she asked .
Shi Mu hesitated for a moment . Then, he gave her a nod .
"Senior Sister Ximen Xue and I don’t belong to the same Sect . But, you may call it a propitious encounter that I got to see her once… roughly seven or eight days back . " Zhong Xiu took a deep breath . Then, she looked into Shi Mu's eyes and said .
"Really?! Where is she now?" Shi Mu was startled . He stood up and asked while involuntarily holding Zhong Xiu's hands .
Zhong Xiu’s cheeks turned red as soon as her hands were held by him .
But, she didn’t care about it the least . And, she simply looked at him without speaking anything .
"Ah, I'm sorry… I got a little excited," Shi Mu immediately regained his calm and loosened his grip from Zhong Xiu’s hands .
"It’s all right," Zhong Xiu lowered her head and replied in a murmuring tone .
"I have seen Senior Sister Ximen Xue just once that particular day . She’s very different from me . She seems to have received great importance from the people of Transcending Heaven Immortal Cult . She might have been selected for seclusion training in the Seclusion Branch of the Transcending Heaven Immortal Cult that was set-up in the Heavenly Yu City . It is said that they’ve set high standards for the selection of deserving candidates this time," She stopped for a moment . Then, she continued .
Shi Mu’s facial expression looked somewhat dejected as he heard these words .
He had arrived in the Heavenly Yu City only a few days ago . But, he had more-or-less figured the situation that prevailed here .
The Heavenly Yu City was the capital of the Lu Shan Kingdom . However, not every branch of the Transcending Heaven Immortal Cult was set-up here . In fact, there was only one in this city . And, the Ascension to Immortality Ceremony was conducted in this branch .
The time of the Grand Ceremony was approaching . So, many great personalities of the Immortal Cult had begun to arrive in the city… including its leader . And, those disciples who were called by the Seclusion Branch for Seclusion practice were greatly valued by the Immortal Cult .
Ximen Xue possessed extraordinary innate talent . So, it seemed that Zhong Xiu’s said words were perhaps right .
Shi Mu shook his head . But, his facial expression looked even more firm .
He wanted to see Ximen Xue once before the Grand Ceremony would start .
And, things would become much easier since he was aware of Ximen Xue’s location now .
"Lady Zhong, thank you for telling me about this matter," Shi Mu said .
"Is Brother Shi is thinking of going to that Seclusion Branch to find her? Please forgive me for being blunt… but, I’m afraid that it won’t be possible," Zhong Xiu spoke while shaking her head .
"Why is it so?" Shi Mu asked .
"The Welcome Ceremony for the Immortals is scheduled to be held after three days . So, the Seclusion Branch would be under tight security . Outsiders can’t get close to it . I am afraid that you will have to wait until the completion of this Welcome Ceremony if you want to see Senior Sister Ximen Xue," Zhong Xiu explained .
"Welcome Ceremony for the Immortals?" Shi Mu was dumbfounded .
"Brother Shi hasn’t heard about it? Two immortals of the Transcending Heaven Immortal Cult are supposed to arrive after three days . They’ve already ascended to the realm of the Immortals . So, Transcending Heaven Immortal Cult is specially holding this Welcome Ceremony in order to welcome these two Immortals," Zhong Xiu explained further .
"Immortals are arriving?!" Shi Mu was left startled as he heard these words .
The rumors about the World of the Immortals had always been vague and illusory . It was said that the previous outstanding disciples who had been elected by the successive Ascension to Immortality Ceremony had already soared to the Immortal Realm . However, no one had witnessed them before . So, Shi Mu had never thought that he would get to see Immortals descend to this world .
"Brother Shi’s appearance makes it seem that he must be interested in this Welcome Ceremony, right? Wouldn’t it be good if you tag along with me to visit this Ceremony? It is said that the Immortals are arriving for the first time after many years . Most of the dignitaries of the city receive an invitation to participate in this conference . But, they can only stay in the periphery to observe and emulate . Moreover, a person is also needed to pay a considerable quantity of spirit stones to enter . But, the disciples who are attending the Ascension to Immortality Ceremony can enter the inner area to watch," Zhong Xiu said in an inviting manner .
"Great! I would like to put you in trouble in that case, Lady Zhong," Shi Mu considered for a moment . Then, he agreed .
Zhong Xiu smiled in a sweet manner on hearing his reply . Her unparalleled mesmerizing appearance made Shi Mu’s heart unable to bear but skip a beat .
"Oh… by the way, thank you so much for sending me the meteoric iron," Shi Mu coughed and hastily shifted the thread of discussion .
"I had randomly won that piece of strange metal in my Sect . But, it was futile to keep it idle with me . Then, I vaguely remembered that the material of your black blade was apparently similar to this metal; I had noticed this thing that very day you came looking for me . Therefore, I sent someone to deliver you this thing . You liked it, right?" Zhong Xiu’s long eyelashes moved as she said .
