(Payment for ten months. Monthly pass of three thousand five hundred plus updates.)
The Sorcerer had shown him the staff in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea. In addition, it appeared after the tribute. Who else could it be other than the Sorcerer?
From a certain perspective, Miao Yi didn't expect the Sorcerer to fulfill his promise at all. The only bit of confidence he had was based on the fact that the Sorcerer was elusive in the cultivation realm and would never make enemies with anyone. According to that logic, the Sorcerer shouldn't have lied to him.
Also, there was the Sorcerer's prophecy of being in the same boat.
Miao Yi took the staff and left the silent quarters in a flash. Once he was out of the door, he took to the skies and landed outside the mountain gate. The two cultivators guarding the gate quickly greeted him.
Miao Yi casually waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be overly courteous. His gaze was fixed on an old man with a bamboo hat on his back, looking like an old farmer. He didn't know him. He hadn't seen him before. He wasn't the Sorcerer!
Miao Yi walked over and raised the staff in his hand, asking suspiciously, "You want to see me? Is this yours? "
The old man shook his head, "Not so! Someone asked me to invite you to see him. Please follow me. "He turned and flew away.
Miao Yi couldn't wait to see the Sorcerer and immediately chased after him.
The two of them flew deep into the mountains and landed on a mountain peak. The old man stood with his back facing Miao Yi.
Miao Yi looked around and didn't see the Sorcerer. He couldn't help but ask, "Where is he?"
The old man slowly turned around with a smile on his face.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew. The wild grass swayed and the trees swayed. The dust on the old man's body was suddenly blown away by the wind.
Amidst the flying dust, the old man looked as if he was buried in the dust. The wind gradually blew away his true appearance, blowing away his disguise. A familiar face and a familiar outfit appeared in front of Miao Yi. Who else could it be other than the Sorcerer?
Miao Yi was a little dumbfounded. He looked at the dust being blown away by the wind. This was the first time he saw such a miraculous disguise technique.
The Sorcerer suddenly raised his hand and spread his fingers. Miao Yi couldn't hold the staff in his hand any longer and it flew out. It flew into the Sorcerer's hand.
As the Sorcerer's staff fell to the ground, the bamboo hat on his back floated up and covered his bald head. He returned to the appearance Miao Yi had when they first met. He held the staff in one hand. "Benefactor, we meet again."
"Greetings, Master!" Miao Yi cupped his fists and clicked his tongue in amazement. "Grandmaster's disguise technique is truly marvelous. It is simply breathtaking!"
The Wizard smiled faintly and said, "I learned this technique from a Buddhist friend."
Miao Yi carefully looked around. He then asked, "Grandmaster, I saw you in danger on the Netherdragon Ship. May I know how you managed to escape?"
The Wizard said, "Since I dared to board the ship, I naturally have a way to avoid the disaster."
Miao Yi was taken aback, but when he thought about it, it made sense. This Walker knew how to calculate. If he wasn't confident, he wouldn't have dared to board the ship. Miao Yi had been worried for nothing.
"What happened after the Grandmaster boarded the ship?" This was the question Miao Yi was most concerned about.
The Wizard raised his head and looked at the sky, "This old monk has just returned from the great world!"
"What?" Miao Yi cried out involuntarily. It could be said that his blood was boiling in an instant. Is this for real? This old fellow just came back from the outside world. Don't try to fool me! That was a place that even the Six Sages dreamed of going to! Legend had it that there were limitless cultivation resources there. It was a place that every cultivator dreamed of going.
The Wizard smiled and said, "If it weren't for the promise I made with Benefactor earlier, I'm afraid I wouldn't have returned so soon."
Miao Yi raised his hand and asked anxiously, "So Grandmaster has already discovered the secret of the Netherdragon Ship, and is able to freely travel between the great world and the small world?"
The Wizard nodded. "I've learned a little."
Miao Yi asked again, "Is Grandmaster willing to bring this junior to the great world to broaden his horizons?"
The Wizard nodded. "This old monk has said that we are fated to be on the same ship. If I wasn't willing, why would I come looking for you?"
Excitement. Miao Yi clapped his fists together and said, "Good, good, good!"
However, after his excitement subsided, he raised his eyebrows and calmed down. He realized that something was wrong. He tried asking, "There are many cultivators in this world who wish to go to the great world. Let's not talk about the others, just the Six Sages alone. If Grandmaster is willing to bring them there, I'm afraid there will be endless benefits. Thus, this junior is a little curious. Why is Grandmaster willing to bring this junior there? "
"Fate!" The Wizard gave these two words as his reason. He then said, "If Benefactor is unwilling to go, this old monk will not force you. However, some things are destined to happen. Even if this old monk does not bring Benefactor, you will still beg me to bring you there. Otherwise, this old monk would not have coincidentally met Benefactor at that time."
Miao Yi was speechless and conflicted. The Wizard was right. The Wizard wanted to bring him there, yet he was being overly suspicious. If the Wizard did not bring him there, he would probably beg him to bring him there. Could this really be fate?
However, when he thought about it, if the Wizard really wanted some benefits, he could easily bring the Six Sages there. The benefits he would gain would be far greater than what he could gain from himself.
"Benefactor, if you have not made up your mind, why don't you go back and think about it? This old monk will first travel around the great world." The Wizard flipped his hand and took out a bronze bell. He handed it over and said, "This is the 'Star Bell' that this old monk obtained from the Netherdragon Ship. Inside is a strand of transcendence energy that this old monk left behind. When Benefactor has thought it through, you can invoke your arts and shake the bell. This old monk will naturally be able to sense it, and will come back to receive Benefactor at that time."
Miao Yi received the bell and shook it in his hand. The sound was clear and melodious.
"Sigh!" The Wizard sighed from the side. "Benefactor, please don't shake it anymore. This old monk will be by your side."
"Uh …" Miao Yi was taken aback. He awkwardly said, "This junior did not mean that. I just wanted to ask. I am in the small world, and Grandmaster is in the great world. Could it be that Grandmaster will be able to sense me when I invoke my arts and shake this bell in the small world?"
"Yes!" The Wizard nodded.
Miao Yi suddenly wanted to say something, but he hesitated. In the end, he thickened his skin and asked, "Grandmaster is merciful. I wonder if Grandmaster has any extra bells on you? Could you give me a few more? If anything happens here, this junior will be able to know in time. If it is convenient, this junior will be able to rush back in time."
"Almsgiver, are you prepared to follow this old monk?" The Wizard smiled.
Miao Yi rubbed his face, then nodded heavily and said, "I will! This is a rare opportunity. I will go take a look! "
The Wizard shook his head and smiled, then took out two more Star Bells and gave them to Miao Yi.
After receiving the Star Bells, Miao Yi asked for the method to use them. Then, he made a request, "Grandmaster, could you give this junior another three days? I still have some arrangements to make when I return."
The Wizard was easy to talk to. "No matter! This old monk will wait for you here for three days. "
Miao Yi then took his leave and quickly returned to the palace. He first summoned Yang Qing and told him that he would be going on a long journey, and that his return date was uncertain!
Naturally, Yang Qing couldn't help but ask, "May I know where Milord is going?"
"I am acting on orders from above. It is not convenient for me to divulge anything. Head Steward, please do not ask." Miao Yi casually brushed him off, then reminded him, "Regarding the matters of the two Halls and Flowing Clouds Dune Sea, Head Steward Yang must take care of them properly. I have already reported this matter to the Overlord. The Overlord does not wish to be involved openly, but he has already tacitly agreed to it. If there is any news from Flowing Clouds Dune Sea, you can pass it on to Qian'Er and Xue'Er. They will report it to the Overlord."
Letting Yang Qing know that this matter was related to the Overlord was to reassure him.
When Yang Qing heard this, he felt much more at ease. As long as he handled things properly, even if the Overlord did not openly support him, he would definitely turn a blind eye to it and support him in another way. He cupped his fists and replied, "Your subordinate understands."
After Yang Qing left, Miao Yi immediately turned around and told Qian'Er and Xue'Er what they could report to the Overlord, and what they couldn't. In the end, he took out two Star Bells and taught them how to use them. He also gave one to them for them to keep safe.
In the end, he instructed them, "If I don't make it back, don't stay here any longer. Immediately go look for your foster father and have him bring you and Yan Xiu to Flowing Clouds Dune Sea's Tempest Tavern. Go look for the Lady Boss there. She will take you in. You two can stay here as waiters. The Lady Boss won't reject you out of respect for me. At the very least, you two can stay at Tempest Tavern to ensure your safety. As for the future, you will have to make your own decisions based on the circumstances! Keep this jade disk well. If one day you two really make it to Tempest Tavern, you can pass this jade disk to the Lady Boss! "Miao Yi casually passed a jade disk to the two of them.
Inside was a code that only he and the Lady Boss could understand.
When the two ladies heard this, they immediately panicked. He was clearly entrusting them with his funeral arrangements!
Qian'Er immediately asked, "Milord, where are you going? Is it very dangerous? "
Xue'Er asked, "Are you going to encounter some powerful enemies?"
Miao Yi consoled them, "It's not what you think. I'm just making preparations in advance. Don't ask about anything else. If you know too much, you will inevitably reveal your emotions and give yourself away. It won't do you any good at all. All you need to do is remember my words. Before anything unexpected happens, do not tell anyone about this, not even your foster father. Do you understand? "
"We will," the two ladies replied. Qian'Er then asked, "If something happens, should I inform Lord Yan and the others?"
Miao Yi replied, "Big Brother Yan and the others have their own identities, so they can handle themselves. As for the others, I won't be able to take care of them if something happens to them. So, you don't have to worry about them. You two, on the other hand, will be the first to face danger if something happens to me. Remember my words."
"Understood!" The two ladies replied with reddened eyes.
After that, he gave them a few more detailed instructions before flying straight to the Wood Traversing Palace. He wanted to test out the effects of the Star Bell while he was at it.
Inside the Wood Traversing Palace's harem, Cheng Aofang was surprised to see Miao Yi. "Deacon Miao, did the sun rise from the west today?"
