The little girl who had been standing alone on the fringes of the trading conference suddenly became a grand cultivator at the Fangying stage!
And judging from this immense pressure, she was actually a late-stage core formation cultivator!
A kindly-looking old lady led the still dazed Xie Yujia into the heart of the trading conference.
Everyone in the trading conference who had even a modicum of ability could tell that this core formation female cultivator's disciple was merely an ordinary girl at the first layer of the Qi Condensation stage!
What kind of fortune and luck did it take to be taken on as a disciple by a core formation cultivator, especially one in the late-stage Moreover, her talent seemed rather unremarkable.
The plethora of items dazzled Xie Yujia.
The gazes of those around her were filled with envy, confusion, and amazement.
Whizz...
Near the trading conference, four streaks of light flew over.
Sensing that there had been two core formation cultivators nearby who had released their pressure, the four core formation cultivators stationed in the fifth layer of the sky all set out to check on the situation at the trading conference.
However, they could no longer sense those two core formation cultivators and instead detected another grand core formation cultivator's overwhelming spiritual energy!
The trading conference mainly for Foundation Establishment stage cultivators had actually attracted three core formation cultivators in succession—this was too abnormal!
When they arrived above the trading conference, upon sensing with their divine sense that this core formation grand cultivator was at the late-stage and remained suspended in mid-air, they looked at each other blankly.
Their cultivation had merely reached the Initial Stage of Core Formation, whereas a cultivator at the Late Stage of Core Formation was so powerful that even if all four of them were to appear simultaneously, they still would not be a match for this single cultivator!
A cultivator reaching the Late Stage of Core Formation could attempt to break through to the Soul Formation Stage. However, most cultivators at the Core Formation stage could only remain stuck at the Initial Stage for their entire lives! Advancing from the Core Formation stage was harder than advancing from all previous stages combined!
They were unaware that the cultivator reaching the Late Stage of Core Formation this time not only had the opportunity to break through to the Soul Formation stage, but was actually already a Soul Formation-stage cultivator.
The old woman merely wanted to avoid attracting unnecessary attention and did not want troublemakers getting in her way. Therefore, she revealed herself as being at the Late Stage of Core Formation.
The four cultivators at the Initial Stage of Core Formation exchanged glances before flying back to their respective cultivation sites very quickly. If a cultivator from the Initial Stage had come, they might have stepped forward to greet them and claim the territory verbally, but this time it was a cultivator in the Late Stage. Nobody knew what kind of temperamental old monster could be lurking here; it would be better not to rashly conflict with him.
The kindly-looking old woman led Xie Yujia around, but no one thought that an elderly woman like her was someone to be trifled with!
Wherever the old woman and Xie Yujia went, people automatically made way for them.
"Yujia, if you see anything you fancy, just pick it out," said the old woman kindly as she turned toward Xie Yujia.
Xie Yujia gazed at the dazzling items on the stalls before her and hesitated slightly. She then picked up a delicately crafted jade bracelet, "Granny, I'll take this one. But don't you worry about paying for it, I can do that myself!"
The old woman smiled warmly, "Little Yujia, these items here aren’t purchased with money."
She took out a mid-grade spirit stone and tossed it into the hand of the young cultivator manning the stall. "This should be enough, right"
The young cultivator caught the spirit stone and was awestruck, "Grandmaster, you don’t need to pay for this jade bracelet! You can take it as a gift!"
With her cultivation at the Late Stage of Core Formation, even if she were to take everything from the entire trading conference, nobody would dare make an issue out of it! Soul Formation-stage cultivators who had reached the Late Stage of Core Formation were all over five hundred years old.
These Foundation Establishment cultivators, even if they brought their Core Formation period masters along, would still not be a match for the few Late Conception Realms elders in these layers of heaven!
The only thing puzzling them was why a mighty Late Conception Realm elder would take a female disciple who is merely at the first layer of Breath Condensation as his personal disciple.
They should know that cultivators in the Spirit Embryos period are treated like ancestors by their sects. How could they even take disciples themselves
Xie Yujia was delighted when she received this beautiful jade bracelet and put it on her fair wrist, where it shone brilliantly under the glow of the surrounding stone pillars.
"Thank you, Granny!" She turned around to say to the old woman.
The old woman laughed so heartily that wrinkles formed all over her face. "Haha, I'm glad you like it. Go and check out some other goods."
Xie Yujia quickly supported the quivering old woman as they went to look around elsewhere.
The surrounding people felt envious; how blessed was she to have such a powerful Spirit Embryos Realm elder protecting her And judging from her mere first-layer Breath Condensation realm, it was clear that this Spirit Embryos cultivator only took her on as his disciple at the spur of the moment!
The hustle and bustle here rivaled those of terrestrial night markets. As she supported the old woman and wandered around, she suddenly saw a familiar figure.
A familiar silhouette and posture.
And next to this man were two extraordinarily beautiful twin sisters!
Hao Ren, who was picking out some small red flowers, felt an overwhelming pressure approach him. He turned around with the red flower in hand, only to see Xie Yujia and that old woman from last time here as well!
Hao Ren's brain immediately froze! How could Xie Yujia be here!
He would have already left with Lu Linlin and Lu Lili had he not remembered Su Han mentioning those small red flowers, which made him come back to take a look.
But it's just that on his return, he ran into Xie Yujia!
Xie Yujia was also looking at him. Her expression first showed shock, then confusion, and finally silence.
"Yujia," you "how could you be here" Hao Ren felt his head spinning as he walked over to ask.
He even rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was seeing things! Or if he had entered a dream world!
But the little white dog was circling around his feet and running affectionately towards Xie Yujia. This proved that the person in front of him wasn't someone else; it really was Xie Yujia!
Xie Yujia, wearing a long white robe, was serene and elegant like a lighthouse in the dark night.
And beside her old lady was expressionless but exuded an overwhelming spiritual energy that made people dare not look directly at it! Such spiritual pressure was almost as strong as Zhao Kuo’s power!
"Hao Ren," Xie Yujia softly called Hao Ren's name with a gloomy expression. Suddenly, she stepped forward and crashed into Hao Ren's embrace.
Before Hao Ren could react, tears from Xie Yujia's big eyes began to flow down her cheeks!
"Idiot! You stupid idiot!" While hugging Hao Ren, Xie Yujia pounded on his chest with her hands.
She tiptoed and then wrapped both arms around Hao Ren’s neck, squeezing him tightly. Her face was buried in the back of Hao Ren's neck as she cried harder.
"I waited for nothing! I really did wait for nothing!" Tears flowed from her jawline down to Hao Ren’s back; they were scalding hot!
It was regret, helplessness, and heartbreak!nside her.Little White walked in front of them, sometimes running ahead several meters and then stopping to wait for a few seconds. It was quite mischievous; its four golden legs seemed like small gol...
