Shu Jianyue stayed in the valley villa for several days, exploring the entire valley, before deciding to go out and take a look.
The main purpose was to see what the sect, which was almost finished, would look like.
As soon as they stepped out of the valley, people from the temple arrived, presenting them with an invitation with utmost respect.
Shu Jianyue opened the invitation and saw that it really was a welcome dinner for them.
He smiled at the newcomer and said, "The temple is very thoughtful to hold a welcome banquet for people like us who are unknown."
The visitor was Fu Bai, the left attendant of the temple's chief deity.
Fu Bai chuckled and said, "Miss Shu is too kind. We have long heard of your immortal reputation, and now that we have met you, it is truly well-deserved."
"Our God intended to do this when you first arrived at the Holy Spirit Temple, but considering that you have just arrived and need to familiarize yourselves with the environment, we have changed it to tomorrow."
Shu Jianyue looked at Chong Jiu, signaling him to speak. When they were in Sihai, he basically didn't get involved, but now that they were in the Holy Spirit area, she planned to let him take charge instead.
Chong Jiu squeezed her hand and looked at Fu Bai expressionlessly, saying, "Tell your god that we will arrive as scheduled."
Fu Bai felt a little intimidated when he saw him, so when he heard him say this, he immediately nodded and replied, "Of course, of course. Then I will take my leave first and wait for you all at the temple."
Fu Bai even took two steps back respectfully before turning to leave, as if he had met a king.
Shu Jianyue shook her head and looked at Chong Jiu, asking, "Do you think anyone will participate?"
After all, they had just arrived at Holy Spirit Temple; who would attend a banquet of a newly established sect?
If there aren't enough people, it won't look good.
“It won’t be less. Even if they don’t know us or give us face, they will give face to the temple.” Chong Jiu pulled her and continued walking outside.
After taking only a few steps, Yan Xi ran out and said, "Father, Mother, I want to go with you."
Shu Jianyue waved to her, "Then come on."
Yan Xi stepped forward and took Shu Jianyue's arm, holding the little white tiger in one arm.
Shu Jianyue glanced at the little white tiger and smiled, "Since you like him so much, why don't you sign a contract with him?"
Yan Xi looked down at the little white tiger, and the little white tiger also looked up at her, letting out a soft cry.
Thinking of the Black Phoenix that Yan Xi had signed before, Chong Jiu shook his head and said, "It is incompatible with the Black Phoenix, so it won't have any impact on Xi Xi, but it will be very noisy."
Shu Jianyue's brows twitched. "Just like Wu Huang and Dou Dou did before?"
Back then, Wu Huang and Dou Dou would argue every time they met.
He nodded repeatedly during the moxibustion treatment.
That really won't work. DouDou is with YuChuan. As long as they don't appear together, they might quarrel occasionally, but putting two incompatible people together would mean there's no peace.
Shu Jianyue looked at Yan Xi.
Yan Xi shook her head and said, "It's okay, just don't let them come out together."
Shu Jianyue gently removed Zhong Jiu's hand and smoothed a stray strand of Yan Xi's hair, saying, "If you really like it, it's fine to sign it. At most, you can just discipline them when they make a fuss."
When the hand he wanted to hold was gone, Chong Jiu instead put his arm around her waist.
At the beginning, Shu Jianyue would definitely have pushed his hand away, but now she has gradually gotten used to it and is not so ticklish anymore.
The Valley Villa is located on the edge of the mountain range where the new sect is located, so it is more convenient to get there by spirit boat.
Shu Jianyue released the spirit ship for Chong Jiu to control, and then pulled Yan Xi into the cabin, where she made her sign a contract with the little white tiger.
Chong Jiu stood on the deck and shook his head, looking at the increasingly bright sunlight through the clouds, his brows furrowing slightly.
Chong Jiu controlled the spirit ship very fast, and arrived at the destination in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
The hearse was moored in the newly cleared square.
Zi Yu and Liu Juefeng immediately came over, but were about to bow when Chong Jiu stopped them with a look in his eyes.
A bright array pattern flashed around the spirit ship, and Yan Xi and the little white tiger successfully formed a contract.
Upon seeing this, Zi Yu's eyes flashed, and his brows furrowed slightly, but then relaxed.
Shu Jianyue stepped out of the cabin, saw Ziyu, smiled, and said, "Ziyu, not bad, you've already reached the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage."
Zi Yu immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Excellency, Venerable Chongjiu, and Young Master Yanxi."
"I owe my current cultivation level to Your Excellency's guidance."
Shu Jianyue stood on the spirit ship and waved her hand, looking at the magnificent building in front of her. It was indeed very similar to the Supreme Temple of the Four Seas, but there were also differences.
The Supreme Temple of the Four Seas is built on a mountain peak, with five peaks connected together.
But here, it is surrounded by mountains.
Although the style is the same, the different terrains result in different styles.
"How much longer will it take to finish?" Shu Jianyue asked, looking at the people carrying materials around. "Did you hire them from outside?"
Liu Juefeng shook his head and said, "They were all brought by Venerable Honglang, and they are all trustworthy people."
"We've calculated that it will take about another two weeks to complete the entire process."
Shu Jianyue nodded and disembarked from the spirit ship. She and Chong Jiu looked around and asked, "Why didn't I see Yi Dexi?"
Liu Juefeng said, "He left before you arrived, saying he was going to see his daughter."
Shu Jianyue raised an eyebrow, hoping that Yi Qiushi could handle it.
That girl is clearly a college student, but she still has the personality of a junior high school student.
After checking and finding nothing wrong, Shu Jianyue decided to go back.
She had only taken a few steps after turning around when her mental energy detected that someone was actually stealing materials!
This material has no other use besides building houses, so what did he steal it for?
Shu Jianyue immediately turned and walked in that direction.
Chong Jiu was already holding her hand, so when she left, she naturally took him with her.
Liu Juefeng, who had been following her, didn't know what she was going there for, but he followed her nonetheless.
Shu Jianyue stopped behind a rock, pointed to a young man who looked to be in his early twenties, and asked, "Liu Juefeng, was that person also sent by Hong Lang?"
Liu Juefeng looked over and shook his head, saying, "That's not him. He's someone I rescued in the mountains who was seriously injured."
“When he was first rescued, he was not very conscious. After he regained consciousness, he did not remember his name or where he came from.”
"Judging from his high level of cultivation, I'll have him come here to help once he's almost fully recovered."
"What's wrong, Your Excellency? Is there something wrong with him?"
Shu Jianyue scratched her chin. "Even cultivators can lose their memories?"
“He’s dishonest; I just saw him put a piece of white jade into his storage ring.”
"Huh?" Liu Juefeng looked at the man, who looked like he was doing his job seriously and didn't seem like someone who would steal.
But His Majesty wouldn't speak carelessly.
"I'll go take a look." After Shu Jianyue nodded, Liu Juefeng walked towards the person.
"Xiao Yi, how are you feeling today? Did anything come to mind?"
Xiao Yi was the nickname he gave him, since he didn't know his real name, so he could only use a nickname for now.
Xiao Yi shook her head with a pained expression, "I can't remember anything."
