Chapter 2: Fleeting Mist Sect
"The prince has a small sword on his waist, as expected he's cultivating the Heartless Sword Mantra created by Sword Empress Xi."
"I'm more interested in who the father is? Who could make spring arrive for the Heartless Sword Xi?"
"Shhhhh! Do you not want your life anymore, daring to gossip about the Grand Elder?"
"He's like a jade doll, I just want him to just bring him home with me!"
"Junior sister, be careful of what you say. But...ah, I totally understand that feeling!"
"But it's best to strike first while the young prince is still young!"
"But, but...we're still just outer disciples, can he even put us in his eyes now? The prince is already in the Foundation Establishment realm."
"Psh...we can just be his mistress. Even then we would receive a lot of resources!"
Xi Tianyi ignored all the gossiping voices and kept a serious face as he walked through the sect ground leading to the main gates leading to the sect, the Mortal Severance Gate.
"Tianyi, you've arrived." Elder Shan looked at the adolescent who only wore his robes and a sword at his waist. He laughed as Tianyi's coronet shimmered under the sun. "It seems you didn't bring any bags with you. Is that fine?"
Tianyi showed his left hand which had a gold ring with three jewels encrusted onto it on his middle finger. "I put everything in my spatial ring."
The amiable expression on Elder Shan's face disappeared and he showed a serious expression instead. "Little Tianyi, although you can use the spatial ring once you entered the Foundation Establishment Realm, it doesn't mean you should. Don't use it out in the open where others can see. Even if you are Elder Xi's son there are many willing to risk offend Elder Xi to attain a spatial ring, especially yours. Use your spatial pouch for most matters. Although a spatial pouch is rare, it isn't as valuable as that spatial ring."CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m
Tianyi nodded. "I understand Elder Shan. I'll just say it was you then, whenever I need to bring something out."
Elder Shan's face twitched as he rubbed his own spatial ring on his right thumb. "Little brat."
"So this is your mount?" Tianyi looked behind Elder Shan to see a large eagle with red wings sitting obediently. "Why are the wings red?"
Elder Shan smiled proudly. "The Crimson Winged Eagle has the bloodline of the Vermillion Bird and is naturally attuned to fire. Had it not been for me using a Nascent Soul ranked fire to hatch it from the egg, it wouldn't easily be tamed."
"Where did you find such an egg?" Tianyi asked.
"What, you want one too?" Elder Shan asked curiously.
Tianyi shook his head. "No, just curious. I heard that Vermillion Birds are rare to find in the modern world and have been sequestered in their own little realms for thousands of years now."
"You even know this secret?" Elder Shan said surprised. "Mmmm, since we humans have won the war against the divine beasts they no longer dare to openly show themselves in the Huang Realm."
"But rather than a bird, I'd rather have a dragon as a mount. They are much more dignified." Tianyi commented.
Once again Elder Shan's lips twitched. "Not even your mother has a divine beast as a mount, don't even dream about it. We should get going before it's late." Saying so he jumped onto the Crimson Winged Eagle. Tianyi naturally also joined Elder Shan.
Elder Shan felt his lips twitch at Sect Master Yun's action. He looked at the jade fan in Tianyi's hand before looking at Pan Lanyue's empty hands. Forcefully suppressing the twitch on his face, Elder Shan pulled out a scarf from his spatial ring. It was a clear milky white and seemingly had been woven from the air. "This is my greeting gift for you, the Fleeting Wind Scarf. It seems to have karmic fate with little friend Pan. It can block any attacks under the Core Formation realm and might even slow down Core Formation expert's attack."
Lanyue accepted the gift with glowing eyes of awe as she felt the smooth sensation of the thin scarf.
"Alright, why don't you show little friend Tianyi around?" Sect Master Yun immediately suggested afterward. "Old men like us will only bore little juniors like you."
"As you command, master." Lanyue bowed before pulling Tianyi's hand with her. Tianyi saw the glance Elder Shan offered and did not resist as he allowed himself to be guided away.
Once they were far enough away from the main hall Lanyue turned around to observe the disciple of the mythical Buzhou Immortal Sect. As a princess of the Pan Kingdom, she had seen her royal brothers and her royal father, but compared to the child before her, they looked inferior.
Especially his beguiling phoenix eyes. "Little brother Tianyi, what do you want to see? Big sister will take you."
Tianyi held his chin in his hand for a moment. "Where do the disciples of your sect cultivate?"
Lanyue led Tianyi towards the back of the mountain where the mist was most heavy. "Here, take this, little brother." Lanyue handed Tianyi a jade badge with the word Mist on it. "If you don't have this, you'll get lost."
As they reached a mountain gate where two Foundation Establishment realm cultivators stood guard. "Master-uncles." Lanyue handed her identity token to them. So it's junior niece Pan. What business do you have here? I recall you recently broke through to the tenth level of Qi Gathering realm." One guard, a fierce-looking bald cultivator, asked.
Lanyue took back the token before smiling. "Sect Master told me to show little brother around. Little brother Tianyi is a disciple of the Buzhou Immortal Sect."
The two guards shared a look before smiling. "So it's an esteemed guest from the Buzhou Immortal Sect. Come in, however, be wary of the Lightning Sea."
"Lightning Sea?" Tianyi asked as they passed through the gate.
Lanyue nodded. "It's the source of the Pure Mist that we absorb. Part of the reason our sect is so powerful is because of the Pure Mist that allows us to cultivate twice as fast with half effort."
Tianyi felt the qi in the air grow purer and purer, but still far from his Jade Lotus Clear Pond. "Hmmm, the spiritual qi here is leaning more towards yin and water. So the ones who would benefit the most are water and earth vein cultivators."
"Little brother is knowledgeable." Lanyue said. "Indeed, the strongest cultivators in my sect are mostly Earth Spirit Vein cultivators."
"What about the Lightning Sea?" Tianyi asked.
Lanyue shook her head. "It is too dangerous. It has been here for thousands of years, although the elders can venture deep into the Lightning Sea they cannot absorb the qi there. It's too tyrannical. Unless you have the legendary Lightning Spirit Vein, it is useless."
Tianyi smiled. "I just so happen to possess the Lightning Spiritual Vein."
"Wow, little brother is very impressive. I heard that all Lightning Spiritual Veins are able to become a genius!" Lanyue said.
Soon they reached a platform that had been engraved in a formation where numerous disciples in the Qi Gathering stage were sitting down and absorbing the mist. From where he stood Tianyi could see the continuous lightning strikes in the distance like a heavy downpour of rain, everlasting.
"Big sister, I only see Qi Gathering realm cultivators here. Where do you the Foundation Establishment realm cultivators cultivate?" Tianyi asked, curious.
"The Foundation Establishment realm and above seniors have their own platforms with a stronger formation," Lanyue explained.
"Big sister, I'm going to check the Lightning Sea." Tianyi suddenly said as he jumped towards the lightning.
"Huh? Wait!" Ignoring the disciples whose attraction she held, Lanyue ran forward to stop Tianyu, but she was too slow despite her "higher" cultivation level.
Lanyue sighed in relief when she saw that the lightning had no effect on Tianyi when struck as he entered. But still, she felt endlessly helpless, not daring to enter herself. "What should I do? Should I ask for master, or should I look for a senior brother?"
