My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 810 Worry
"Miss, Miss! Have you heard? It's widely rumored that Immortal Master Shen has accepted the challenge to a duel with that prodigy from the Immortal Sect, Immortal Master Xuan Tianxing!"

Inside the Wanbao Pavilion,

the third floor,
Zhou Cuirong, who had come to hand over her work, spoke to Ziyan, who was leaning lazily against the chair behind the rosewood table.

"Oh?"

Ziyan, who had been resting with her eyes closed, slowly opened her naturally alluring phoenix eyes.

A hint of amusement flashed across his eyes as he moved.
She squinted slightly, her voice carrying a hint of languidness from just waking up and an almost imperceptible interest.

"You mean Shen Changchuan?"

"Yes, yes, it's Immortal Master Shen Changchuan who came to our Wanbaoge to buy the Pure Yuan Mingdao Pill!"

Zhou Cuirong nodded repeatedly.

"Speaking of which, it is said that Xuan Tianxing is a top genius among the inner disciples of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, an unimaginably important figure!"

"I also heard that this duel was initiated by Xuan Tianxing. I don't know why, isn't this just bullying?"

Zhou Cuirong's voice also carried a hint of worry, and a subtle sense of indignation on Shen Changchuan's behalf.

She was still very grateful to Shen Changchuan.

It was precisely because Shen Changchuan spent a large sum of spirit stones to purchase the Pure Yuan Bright Dao Pill that she not only received a substantial spirit stone reward,

Furthermore, it was because of this transaction that he caught the eye of the Pavilion Master and was quickly promoted to become one of the Pavilion Master's close associates.

It's like rising to the top in one step!
While it's true that her diligent introductions were partly responsible for securing Shen Changchuan as a major client, which led to the current change in the situation,
But this did not change Zhou Cuirong's gratitude towards Shen Changchuan.

after all,

Since joining Wanbaoge, she has always been dedicated to every customer, but she has never experienced such a positive change.

Therefore, Zhou Cuirong knew very well that Shen Changchuan was her benefactor!

Also because of this,

After hearing the news that Shen Changchuan had been challenged to a fight, I couldn't help but feel a little worried for him.

"Alas, I wonder how Immortal Master Shen is doing. Facing such a great figure, I hope Immortal Master Shen can win!"

Zhou Cuirong sighed, feeling that Shen Changchuan was a good person and must have been suppressed.

no way,
Ultimately, her level was still too low.

Despite being a new employee of Wanbaoge,
As a mere fifth-level Qi Refining cultivator, Zhou Cuirong's understanding of the cultivation world was limited to the Qi Refining realm.
Perhaps one could learn about the immortals at the Out-of-Body Realm through some guests, but these would mostly be fragmentary glimpses, and the information would naturally be limited.

Therefore, within her social stratum, the understanding of the inner sect of the Immortal Sect was mostly limited to widely circulated information. She had only heard of the prominent figures who stood at the pinnacle of the inner sect, such as the Daoist disciples Xuan Daoji, Su Lengyue, Lin Wushuang, and Xuan Tianxing.

Those beings were all powerful figures who could only be looked up to by someone as lowly as her Qi Refining Realm cultivator.

And among these,

Despite being an outsider, Shen Changchuan won first place in the Immortal Sect's inner sect competition.

However, he was ultimately an outsider, making it difficult for him to gain the respect of the many inner disciples of the Immortal Sect, and also difficult to earn the heartfelt admiration of other young talents outside the Immortal Sect.

Therefore, unless someone specifically asks about Shen Changchuan's first place, basically no other Nascent Soul Realm prodigy of his generation would actively promote his fame.

therefore,

Shen Changchuan's name is well-known among the inner disciples of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect and among the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators in the Southern Region.

However, in the vast lower strata of the cultivation world below the Nascent Soul realm...
However, not many people knew that he had won first place in the competition.

As a mere Qi Refining Realm cultivator, Zhou Cuirong naturally had no idea about Shen Changchuan's level or achievements, nor did she know about the grudges between him and Xuan Tianxing, a top figure in the inner sect of the Immortal Sect.

This is why she didn't recognize Shen Changchuan when she received him.

Therefore, upon suddenly learning this news,

They instinctively felt that Xuan Tianxing was bullying them. After all,

Xuan Tianxing, an inner disciple of the Immortal Sect, was already renowned throughout the land and was a prominent figure.
Shen Changchuan, however, was an unknown figure.
"Are you worried about that kid? If you are, go and see him."

"You can come back and tell me how the battle went."

Zi Yan's lips curled into a slight, intrigued smile.

While talking,
She casually removed the crystal chain that shimmered with a soft purple light from her wrist.

She casually handed him the amethyst necklace:

"Bring this with you, and you'll be able to enter and leave the Jade Purity Immortal Sect. The power contained within will also grant you temporary access to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, making you qualified to watch their battles."

"Keep up the good work, Xiao Rong!"

Zi Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, a mischievous smile playing on her lips, her voice rising lazily at the end:

"Maybe if we put in the effort, we might actually find a perfect match with an immortal."

"I think that kid is pretty good. Whether he will be qualified to explore the Profound Core Realm in the future is still unknown, but entering the Divine Travel Realm should be no problem."

"From now on, our little Rong will rise to the top and become the First Lady of the Divine Realm!"

Ziyan leaned forward slightly, her tone intimate yet teasing.

"Miss, I wouldn't dare to even dream of that!"

Zhou Cuirong's face flushed red, and she quickly shook her head, her head bobbing rapidly.

Although she would occasionally read those fantasy novels about talented scholars and beautiful women at night when she was tired from work, and dream of one day being married by a peerless hero riding on auspicious clouds.

But that was just a self-satisfying daydream during her rest; she never took it seriously.

Zhou Cuirong was fully aware of this.

Don't say anything else,

Even that Immortal Master Shen, though still an "unknown figure," had already achieved the peak of the Nascent Soul realm at a young age, with the prospect of divine travel within reach.

Countless beautiful, talented, and noble daughters of immortal cultivation families coveted her, so how could she possibly look down on someone of ordinary birth and low cultivation?
and,

She truly never harbored any special feelings for Shen Changchuan from the very beginning.
The reason for caring about the other person is
She was simply worried because she felt that Master Shen was a good person and a benefactor to her.

There were no other ulterior motives involved.

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."

Seeing that Zhou Cuirong was so anxious that she was almost crying, Ziyan couldn't help but quickly try to comfort her.

"Go ahead, I'll wait for you to bring back good news."

after a little while,
Zhou Cuirong took her leave.

Ziyan slowly relaxed her body and leaned back lazily in the wide chair.

"Shen Changchuan, huh?"

Her eyes were deep and thoughtful.

But in the end,
Still shook his head.

As the head of the Wanbaoge Pavilion, and with her cultivation at the peak of the Divine Travel Realm, she had access to far more information than Zhou Cuirong.

Her understanding of Shen Changchuan and Xuan Tianxing was naturally far superior to that of the other party.

After only a moment's thought,

Ziyan ultimately didn't take the challenge to heart.
