Chapter 997: Finally Verified
Xu Xingwan has her own principles, so she didn't accept the offer, only saying, "I'll collect the agency fee after I've helped you."
It seems I'm preparing to act as an intermediary in this task.
Xiao Han knew the importance of asking for favors, so she quickly added, "If we can find a guiding priest, I'm willing to pay with divine stones so that he won't work for nothing."
She actually quite likes this transparent pricing style of doing things. Sometimes, it's also a hassle to have money but not be able to find the right person to help you.
Xu Xingwan said, "I'll ask tonight and get back to you tomorrow."
Xiao Han readily agreed and quickly thanked him.
Then he realized that he didn't have a communication magic item, so he bought one from her for 300 divine stones.
Back then, she couldn't even afford the cheapest communication artifact that cost fifty divine stones. Now, with two hundred thousand divine stones in her pocket, she's more generous with her money and doesn't want anything too cheap.
There's a reason why you get what you pay for.
When you have money, you inevitably want to buy things.
Xiao Han bought two more jade slips related to the Dao of Talismans, spending a thousand divine stones.
Having always been frugal, she had only earned 200,000 divine stones in the past hundred years. After spending 1,300 divine stones, she dared not buy anything else.
After exchanging contact information with Xu Xingwan, he turned around and went back to his cave.
He released the Linglong Immortal Abode and told Xie Yi about his plans.
Xie Yi naturally had no objections.
The Linglong Immortal Abode has many rooms. Xiao Han had him stay in a side hall while he began to study the knowledge of talismans.
After the seal on the jade slip was broken, a ball of light flew out.
Xiao Han guided it, drawing it into her sea of consciousness.
Immediately, she closed her eyes to study and comprehend.
It must be said that although this form of book is a bit cumbersome for cultivators who create jade slips, it eliminates the risk of piracy.
Based on her current level of talisman mastery, she hasn't even reached the level of a talisman master in the Immortal Realm, and the gap between her and a professional talisman master in the God Realm will only be greater.
Xiao Han wanted to learn as much as she could within her capabilities.
You need to have at least one skill that you can be proud of.
Time flies by as one learns and comprehends the Dao of Talismans.
By the time she finally understood, a new day had begun.
Although the realm of gods has day and night, it lacks the scorching sun and the star-studded night sky.
During the day, the weather is mostly cloudy with no wind or rain, and neither too hot nor too cold. At night, however, fierce winds rage.
She wants to keep saving money so she can go live in the Second Heaven as soon as possible.
Xiao Han even suspected that the God Realm was divided into three levels because they were worried that the cultivators who ascended to the top would think they had long lifespans and would give up on cultivation. So they used harsh environments to force them to climb up.
Just as Xiao Han's thoughts were wandering, news came from Xu Xingwan.
A divine official from a shrine was willing to take her to the South Heavenly Gate, on the condition of five hundred divine stones.
Xiao Han immediately agreed.
If Xie Yi could get the seal of a divine cultivator from the Southern Heavenly Gate, this amount of divine stones would be nothing.
After greeting Xie Yi, Xiao Han put away the Linglong Immortal Abode and returned to the market.
Before the cultivators from the Divine Palace arrived, Xiao Han waited at Xu Xingwan's shop and gave her a brokerage fee of one hundred divine stones.
Xu Xingwan didn't refuse. This was part of her business, so she naturally accepted it without hesitation.
Not long after, an ordinary-looking young cultivator arrived. This man was one of the guiding priests who would be going to Tiannan Gate to register and take tests later.
Actually, they're pretty much the same as the junior disciples in lower-level sects.
This man, named Xu Jie, accepted three hundred divine stones from Xiao Han and then made Xiao Han follow him.
On the way, Xu Jie instructed, "When we encounter other cultivators in the Divine Palace later, I will tell them that you and I intend to become Daoist partners, so you can come with me over there for a while."
Xiao Han understood. This meant she was to pretend to be his girlfriend. The two were deeply in love, which was why she had to accompany him even when he was on missions.
Why does this routine seem so familiar?
Xiao Han suddenly remembered that in the small world of Crescent City, she had impersonated Huang Shi's girlfriend, a disciple of the Gathering Immortals Sect, in order to practice her combat skills.
Suddenly, I felt a bit dumbfounded. It was the same old trick, which had been used from the spirit world to the divine world.
Since ancient times, deep affection cannot be retained, but tricks can win people's hearts!
Taking the opportunity, Xiao Han asked, "If I were to go and take a look at the Endless Void Sea outside the South Heavenly Gate, would that be alright?"
Xu Jie glanced at her. "When you ascended, didn't you take a look around? It was just a vast sea of clouds, nothing at all. There are restrictions outside the Ascension Platform; you can't get out."
Xiao Han smiled and said, "I won't go outside. I'll just leave a special mark on the ascension platform."
Xu Jie said nothing more and led Xiao Han to a floating island that looked boundless.
He had Xiao Han stay close to him, used his identity token to break the barrier and enter the floating island, and then took her flying towards the South Heavenly Gate.
After going around in a big circle, we finally arrived at the white jade bridge on the way to the Southern Heavenly Gate and the Divine Palace.
A male priest who had accompanied him on the mission asked in surprise when he saw Xu Jie bringing Xiao Han over, "Why is there an extra person today?"
Xu Jie smiled and said, "This is my future Daoist partner. She is very attached to me and wants to stay by my side, so I brought her here."
The male cultivator glanced at Xiao Han and teased, "You two have been unmoved for millennia, but once you fall in love, it's earth-shattering. As they say, 'The old house catches fire,' haha."
Xiao Han then displayed a shy expression.
Fortunately, everyone looked young, not wrinkled and gray-haired, otherwise Xiao Han felt that it would be too funny if she acted shy.
The male cultivator took out a mission jade token, enveloped the three of them, and then walked across the white jade bridge together.
The three arrived at the square. The male cultivator went into the room where identity jade tokens were issued, while Xu Jie registered the identity information of the ascended cultivators outside.
No ascended cultivators came up at this time. Xu Jie was only responsible for bringing Xiao Han here. As for how Xiao Han left a message for her friend, he naturally wouldn't inquire about it.
He only had a year to complete the mission of guiding the priest, and he might not even meet Xiao Han's friends.
Xiao Han walked out of the massive gatehouse of Nantianmen with trepidation.
Fortunately, the kind of soul-penetrating scan that happened last time did not occur, and no beam of light enveloped her.
Standing on the ascension platform, he released the Linglong Immortal Abode and said to Xie Yi, "As soon as you come out, run to the gate of the South Heavenly Gate and see if you can impersonate an ascended cultivator to pass the divine realm's certification."
Xie Yi responded and, after leaving the immortal residence, glanced at the huge gate tower in front of him. Fearing that he would be struck by lightning again, he ran directly to the foot of the gate tower.
Xiao Han followed behind him, about ten feet apart.
When the beam of light enveloped them and no lightning struck, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
However, given Xie Yi's pseudo-god level cultivation, it's uncertain whether there will be any unexpected events when he goes to process his identity jade token later.
Not to mention that Xiao Han was here to legitimize Xie Yi's identity.
Inside an ancient stone hall in the Third Heaven, the Azure Cloud God Venerable looked at more than ten mission jade tokens that needed to be re-refined and picked up one of them.
After sensing it, I exclaimed in surprise.
He then summoned a priest in charge of running errands and said, "Bring the cultivator who made this jade token to me."
