Chapter 106 The Cat Arrives at Yantian Sect
Yantian Sect, a sect with an extraordinary status in the world of immortal cultivation and a bit of mystery.
The disciples of the sect mainly study divination, formations and talismans, and try to understand the secrets of heaven and predict disasters and blessings.
However, before the disciple has achieved the state of Dan, he lacks the ability to protect himself, just like a child with gold in his arms, and can easily become a tonic coveted by evil cultivators and demons.
In order to protect his disciples, the first leader of Yantian Sect used an ancient forbidden method that had long been lost, and uprooted the entire sect's location, hanging it thousands of feet in the sky, forming the now famous floating fairy island.
Amidst the clouds and mist, the fairy island appears and disappears, making it difficult for ordinary cultivators to reach it.
To enter the floating island, one must pass through the floating city below it.
There is a large teleportation array in the city, which is the only regular way to reach the island.
Only those holding the special token of Yantian Sect can initiate the transmission.
These tokens are also divided into different levels. Those with high star power can even fly directly into the floating island without being affected by the no-fly restrictions around it, but that is the treatment for high-level people.
Bai Qingchen and Mo Li traveled all the way and finally arrived at this long-famous floating city.
The city is built against the mountain and has a unique style. Most of the people coming and going in the city are cultivators seeking divination or asking for favors from the Yantian Sect. There are also many low-level disciples of the Yantian Sect walking around.
The two followed the instructions and came to the teleportation array in the city center square.
A long queue had already formed in front of the formation, all in an orderly manner, waiting to be transferred one by one.
While we were queuing, there was a sudden commotion from the back.
I saw a group of five or six people, dressed in bright clothes and with arrogant looks, walking straight past the team and trying to get to the front.
"Hey! Why are you cutting in line?"
"Go line up at the back!"
Immediately, dissatisfied murmurs arose among the people in the queue.
The leader was a young man in fancy clothes with a slightly pale face. Instead of being embarrassed or annoyed by the accusations made by the crowd, he snorted coldly, took off a token from his waist, and deliberately held it high for everyone to see.
The token looked like jade but was not jade, and had five shining star patterns clearly drawn on it.
"Five-star token!"
"It's the token for the inner disciples of the Yantian Sect!"
A few exclamations were heard from the crowd, and the previous dissatisfied discussions instantly died down. Many people even subconsciously shrank their necks, not daring to look the young man in the eye again.
Holding a five-star token meant that this person had a high status in the Yantian Sect and was definitely not someone that ordinary visitors or low-level cultivators like them could offend.
The young man in fancy clothes enjoyed the awe-filled and fearful looks from the crowd. He raised his chin proudly and stepped forward to continue pushing forward.
Glancing ahead, he happened to see a young man in white standing in front of him, looking down curiously at a token he had just taken out of his hand, and he seemed to be counting something.
The young man in fancy clothes sneered, his tone full of disdain: "What are you looking at? A mere low-star token is worth studying. Why don't you get out of my way!"
He naturally assumed that the other party's token level was far lower than his own.
Mo Li, who was standing next to Bai Qingchen, turned cold when he heard the words. The hand holding the hilt of the sword tightened instantly, and an invisible chill seemed to spread from him.
Bai Qingchen seemed not to hear the provocative words. He just gently pressed Mo Li's wrist and shook his head slightly, signaling him not to be impulsive.
This was actually his first time using this teleportation array. In his previous life, he had always flown directly to the floating island on his sword and had never queued.
Just now, when he heard people discussing the level of tokens, he remembered that Zhou Yan had given him one, so he took it out to have a look.
If you count carefully, there seem to be nine tiny stars engraved on it, surrounding a mysterious rune in the center.
The young man in the gorgeous clothes saw that Bai Qingchen did not answer, but just held down his companion. He thought that Bai Qingchen was afraid that he would become more arrogant, so he snorted coldly and strode past Bai Qingchen.
However, Bai Qingchen took a step forward and stood right in front of him.
The young man in fancy clothes paused, his expression suddenly darkening: "What do you mean?"
Bai Qingchen's face was calm, and his tone was indifferent. "My fellow Daoist, everything has a first come, first served order. The teleportation array will be activated soon. Please observe the order and wait at the end of the line."
His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard throughout the surrounding area.
The crowd in the queue suddenly quieted down, and everyone looked at Bai Qingchen in disbelief, as if they were looking at a bold and reckless person.
How dare someone refute an inner disciple of Yantian Sect who holds a five-star token in person?
The young man in fancy clothes obviously didn't expect someone to dare to contradict him like that. He was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage: "Who the hell are you? How dare you block my way!"
Several monks who looked like his followers immediately surrounded him and stared at Bai Qingchen with unfriendly expressions. The atmosphere instantly became tense.
Bai Qingchen raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not back down. He would not take the initiative to cause trouble, but if trouble came to him, he would never let anyone bully him.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate and on the verge of a fight, a clear and gentle voice came from outside the crowd, breaking the stagnant atmosphere.
"Junior Brother Bai?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man dressed in the attire of a core disciple of Yantian Sect, with a gentle temperament like jade, walking quickly towards them with a hint of surprise and a smile on his face.
The arrogant young man in fancy clothes suddenly changed his expression when he saw the newcomer. His anger instantly subsided and he became respectful, even a little flattering, and bowed hurriedly, "Brother Zhou!"
Bai Qingchen was also a little surprised. He didn't expect to meet Zhou Yan here, but then he thought, this is the territory of Yantian Sect, so it is normal to meet him.
However, Zhou Yan seemed not to have noticed the young man in gorgeous clothes at all. His eyes passed over him and fell on Bai Qingchen, and his smile became much more sincere.
"It's you, Junior Brother Bai. Master predicted earlier that an old friend would be visiting today, so he sent me to greet him. I didn't expect you to be here."
The crowd around was in an uproar again.
Zhou Yan, the direct disciple of the Yantian Sect's Grand Elder, is one of the most popular and talented divination experts among the younger generation.
He actually came to greet this young man in white in person! Who was this young man in white?
The young man in fancy clothes turned even paler, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. He knew that he had hit a wall this time and wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
Bai Qingchen smiled and raised the token in his hand: "Brother Zhou, you are too polite. I have the token. Just line up according to the rules."
When the token was fully revealed to everyone, there was an uncontrollable gasp from all around.
“Nine…Nine stars!”
"Core Elder's Order!"
"He actually has a Nine-Star Token! Then why is he still queuing?"
Those who hold the Nine-Star Token have the highest level of guest authority in Yantian Sect. They can completely ignore the no-fly restrictions and fly directly into the core area of the floating island on their swords.
It's incredible that such people are queuing here peacefully.
The young man in gorgeous clothes looked at the nine-star token, his face turned red and white, and he almost fainted from shame and anger.
Zhou Yan also smiled. "It takes too much time to queue up. Master is still waiting. I'll take you up directly."
Bai Qingchen no longer refused and nodded: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Brother Zhou."
He called out to Mo Li who was standing beside him, "Mo Li, come here."
Zhou Yan's gaze finally fell on Mo Li, who had been standing silently behind Bai Qingchen, and he asked gently, "Junior Brother Bai, who is this?"
"Mo Li, my friend."
Bai Qingchen briefly introduced himself and said to Mo Li, "This is Senior Brother Zhou Yan from Yantian Sect."
Mo Li nodded slightly at Zhou Yan as a greeting, his expression calm and not showing much emotion.
Zhou Yan also smiled and nodded in response without asking any further questions.
Zhou Yan led the two of them, and in the midst of a crowd of people who were either awed or curious, he flew directly onto his sword, ignoring the people still queuing below, and flew straight to the floating island deep in the clouds.
