Beautiful piano music drifted from the piano room of the C City Conservatory of Music.

"Xiaoxue! Xiaoxue!"

Zhang Xiaoxiao called out several times before Li Xue, who was playing the piano, finally came to her senses and looked at her with a confused expression: "Huh? What's wrong?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao looked at her with concern: "You've been acting strange these past two days. Has something happened?"

Li Xue gently shook her head without saying a word, then couldn't help but look up at the bright moon outside the window, and that night came to mind.

The moonlight was so bright that night, and he stood there quietly, as if he were one with the whole world.

She knew they lived in different worlds and might never cross paths. Why add to their troubles?

"Xiaoxiao, let's go back!"

Li Xue regained her composure, looked at Zhang Xiaoxiao's worried face, smiled and patted her shoulder to say that she was fine.

He's just a passerby! What could he possibly want?

Suddenly, a crisp and melodious cell phone ringtone broke the silence; it was Li Xue's cell phone ringing.

The ringtone sounded very familiar. Upon closer listening, it turned out to be the song "Big Fish" that she and Mingze had sung when they went to the Traditional Chinese Medicine College to perform that day.

Li Xue skillfully took out her phone from her handbag, glanced at the screen casually, and then showed a hint of surprise.

It turned out that the person who called was her class teacher.

Without hesitation, Li Xue pressed the answer button naturally, brought the phone to her ear, and whispered, "Hello!"

Immediately afterward, the class teacher's calm and kind voice came through: "Xiaoxue, I have good news for you. The school just received a letter of recommendation from the Xiaoyao Sect. They invite you to report to the Xiaoyao Sect within two days to participate in their entrance examination!"

Li Xue was astonished upon hearing this; she had never imagined she could gain the favor of the Free and Unfettered Sect. She was well aware of the Free and Unfettered Sect's status in China, and this was an opportunity that countless people dreamed of.

However, Li Xue was filled with inner turmoil. Could she pass the test? After all, she had tried practicing the Divine Dragon Scripture before, but it only improved her physique, which clearly showed that she had no talent for cultivation.

Zhang Xiaoxiao noticed her hesitation and encouraged her, "Xiaoxue, haven't you always been interested in cultivation? This is a rare opportunity!"

After a moment's thought, Li Xue finally decided to accept the challenge. Perhaps there was another possibility?

The main hall of the Xiaoyao Sect was solemn and dignified. Jiang Wanwan and the sect elders sat together, discussing the recruitment of students for the day.

Jiang Wanwan asked softly, "Elders, were there any exceptionally talented disciples identified today?"

Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they had not found any particularly outstanding talents.

At this moment, Mo Yan, the temporary head of Jianfeng, suddenly spoke up: "Today we have two promising talents. One of them is named Qiao Yi, who has a top-grade lightning spirit root and extremely high aptitude."

He paused, then continued, "The other one is named Zhixiu, who has a top-grade ice spirit root and is equally outstanding. Moreover, both of them have chosen to join our Sword Peak."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanwan's heart skipped a beat, and she blurted out, "Oh?"

She silently murmured the two people's names, and a familiar face appeared in her mind—Huang Sicong's former online friend from abroad.

Could it really be her? A strange curiosity welled up in Jiang Wanwan's heart.

The Southern Wilderness of the Nine Heavens Continent.

Deep in this wilderness, a brand-new teleportation array suddenly appeared in what was once an ordinary cave. This array seemed to have fallen from the sky, and even the disciples responsible for guarding the southern wilderness were unaware of its arrival.

Ouyang Feng circled the cave with curiosity in his eyes.

He clicked his tongue in amazement and said, "Our disciples have been guarding this place day and night, yet they didn't discover such a large formation!"

At this moment, a faint blue light emanated from the cave entrance, like a mysterious glow flickering. And in front of the cave, a virtual panel floated, displaying the six large characters "Dimensional Trading Mall."

"This should be the interdimensional trading mall that Bai Luo mentioned in his letter. I heard that it allows us to trade with the ancient Blue Star."

With his hands behind his back and eyes full of amazement, Lan Jingxing continued, "Brother Ou, would you like to give it a try?"

Ouyang Feng was slightly taken aback, then laughed: "Haha, in that case, let me give it a try first!"

After saying that, he strode towards the virtual panel that was glowing blue.

As soon as I got close, the screen flashed and changed to a different interface, then started broadcasting a voice message.

"Welcome to the Surface Trading Mall! I'm Huazai, and I'm here to serve you!"

Ouyang Feng was startled. Suddenly, something resembling a bee jumped out of the virtual panel, waving its wings, accompanied by text descriptions.

"It's really strange that this thing doesn't have any spiritual power at all!"

Ouyang Feng curiously poked the bee's head, sighing as he spoke.

"Please do not assault the sales clerk!"

Suddenly, a crying emoji appeared on the panel, accompanied by a sobbing sound.

"Haha! That's funny!"

Lan Jingxing, who was watching from the side, laughed heartily and was even more curious about the virtual panel that was glowing with blue light.

Ouyang Feng awkwardly withdrew his hand and said, "Your name is Hua Zai, right? Tell me quickly how the transactions work in this mall?"

Hua Zai said in a soft voice, "Esteemed guest, we offer points for things like spirit stones, cultivation techniques, or magic treasures. You can then use those points to redeem the items you want. If you have anything you'd like to sell or buy, feel free to let me know."

Ouyang Feng and Lan Jingxing exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of excitement in each other's eyes.

They couldn't wait to find out what treasures were in this amazing mall.

"Then let us see what good stuff you have here," Ouyang Feng said.

Andy Lau immediately began his introduction: "We have all kinds of rare medicinal herbs, ancient pill formulas that have been lost for a long time, mysterious martial arts techniques... whatever you can think of, we may be able to find it here."

Ouyang Feng stared at the spiritual herbs and medicines that had disappeared from the Nine Heavens Continent, as well as the various types of magical treasures with different functions, and the musical instruments and music in the cultural and entertainment section that was crucial to their Tianyin Sect, and couldn't help but marvel at them.

Hua Zai hovered around the screen and said, "Guest, what are you waiting for? You can redeem points first, and then place an order in the store. The items you need will be delivered to you as quickly as possible!"

Ouyang Feng stared intently at the music section of the entertainment panel on the screen, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

He quickly reached into his robes, pulled out a low-grade spirit stone from his storage bag, and put it into the item's storage opening.

Just then, a familiar voice rang out: "Guest, you have deposited a low-grade spirit stone, which can be exchanged for 1 point. Would you like to exchange it?"
