Su Yin smiled awkwardly, "Of course, it's alright if you don't want to cultivate right now. My Qingquan Sect will never force you. You can come anytime you want to join the sect."
"Thank you, senior. I will consider it carefully," Fu Yunchen replied.
"well."
Su Yin and Fu Yunchen sat down in a private room at the inn.
"I heard you're looking for someone. If you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask."
"To be honest, I'm really a bit lost. Could you please point me in the right direction, senior?"
"Don't mention it. Do you have a friend you're looking for? What is their birth date and time? Even a jade pendant they carry might be helpful. When searching for someone, you always need something to rely on."
"No, nothing at all, I only know her name—Mu Run." Fu Yunchen dipped his teacup into the table and wrote Mu Run's name.
Looking at Fu Yunchen's powerful and elegant handwriting, Su Yin glanced up at him before carefully examining the name.
“You must tell us the truth about the relationship between this person and you, young friend,” Su Yin said seriously.
Fu Yunchen replied, "She and I are married."
"fiancée?"
Fu Yunchen did not deny it, "Can you tell where she is?"
Su Yin thought for a moment and said, "If she is your betrothed wife, that would be easy to handle. There is a marriage mirror in my sect. You can see your destined partner through the mirror."
"The Marriage Mirror!" Fu Yunchen suddenly stood up from his chair. "May I borrow it for a moment?"
Seeing his expression, Su Yin had a thought, "But only disciples of our sect can use it, after all..."
"I'll join the Qingquan Sect!" Fu Yunchen interrupted him.
"Alright! Young friend, would you like to return to Qingquan Sect with me immediately?" It was truly effortless; the most useless spiritual artifact in the sect had unexpectedly rendered a great service.
Fu Yunchen was even more anxious than him, "Let's go now, but how long will it take to get to Qingquan Sect?"
"There's a teleportation array inside the imperial city; we can reach Qingquan Gate in no time." Let's hurry and get going, lest something unexpected happens.
"Please, senior."
Fu Yunchen followed Su Yin out of the inn.
Lu Ziyao was carrying several paper packages of various sizes when he arrived at the entrance of the inn.
Seeing Fu Yunchen and Su Yin leave the inn together, she said, "Young Master, I went to buy your favorite imperial snacks. What brings you here?"
"I'm going to Qingquan Sect. You stay here." After all, Yun Chen was not engaged and had no one in his heart, which Lu Ziyao knew all too well.
Lu Ziyao quickly said, "I'll go with you."
Although he lacked spiritual roots, he felt extremely honored and excited to visit the number one sect on the continent.
Fu Yunchen did not agree. "His Highness Prince Shang might come looking for me. You wait at the inn."
“…Alright.” Lu Ziyao had no choice but to agree. The Prince of Shang had been very friendly to his young master the whole way, and if he left without saying goodbye, he might offend him. He could stay and explain things to him.
Fu Yunchen followed Su Yin away.
People from other sects rushed over when they learned that Fu Yunchen had settled in Anyuan Inn, but they were still a step too late.
...
The Marriage Mirror requires spiritual power to operate, and it must be activated by the cultivator who wants to determine their marriage fate using their own spiritual power!
Fu Yunchen immediately decided to cultivate, even if it was just a little bit of spiritual energy.
However, because he possesses the five elements of spiritual roots, he needs to open his spiritual meridians five times. Opening spiritual meridians cannot be rushed; even the fastest process takes at least seven days. Moreover, since he has the five elements of spiritual roots, opening his spiritual meridians alone will take more than a month.
However, for spiritual practitioners, a little over a month is really nothing.
But for Fu Yunchen, let alone more than a month, even seven days would be too long.
“No, I need to cultivate spiritual power within three days,” Fu Yunchen said to Su Yin.
Su Yin didn't understand why he was in such a hurry. Cultivation requires a gradual approach and should never be rushed.
"No, in three days, we can't even open a single spiritual vein, let alone cultivate."
Su Qing, the sect leader of Qingquan Sect, was in seclusion when she heard that a disciple with five elemental spiritual roots had come to the sect. She immediately broke out of seclusion and came to Fengyin Spiritual Mansion where Su Yin was located.
Su Qing, dressed in a snow-white Taoist robe, with white hair and a youthful face, and eyes as deep as a deep abyss, looked at Fu Yunchen.
Leaving aside his aptitude, his appearance alone is extraordinary. Su Qing nodded, then ordered someone to fetch the testing spirit stone and retested Fu Yunchen's spiritual root.
After confirming that it was a top-grade Five Elements Spiritual Root, Su Qing stroked her snow-white beard and said to Fu Yunchen, "I can use the method of opening up your Five Elements Spiritual Meridians with spiritual power to open them up within a day. Then I will teach you to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and cultivate spiritual power. You can activate the Marriage Mirror with just a trace of it."
Upon hearing this, Su Yin looked at Su Qing in surprise, "Senior Brother, opening the meridians with spiritual energy is too dangerous! Not only Yun Chen, but Senior Brother may also suffer from qi deviation."
Su Qing waved her hand, "It's alright, we can give it a try. Besides, do you think he can wait?"
Fu Yunchen immediately knelt on the ground and bowed deeply to Su Qing, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, senior."
"If you're willing, become my last disciple," Su Qing said to Fu Yunchen.
Fu Yunchen performed the traditional master-disciple kowtow again, saying, "Master, please accept my bow."
"Alright, alright! Get up quickly." Su Qing smiled and helped him up.
...
After leaving the palace, Feng Que led Xiao Gong straight to An Yuan Inn to find Fu Yunchen. She wanted to tell him the news that she had been granted the title of Princess.
However, he learned from Lu Ziyao that Fu Yunchen had already left with Elder Suyin.
Suddenly, I felt a little empty inside.
Xiao Gong said to Feng Que, "In a few days, we will also go to Qingquan Gate, and we will be able to see Young Master Yun soon."
"Yes, not only will I get to see Brother Yun, but we'll also be fellow disciples." Thinking of this, Feng Que became happy again.
Xiao Gong was also very happy. Although she was an outer disciple, it was good that she could cultivate.
When the King of Shang learned of this news, he was quite disappointed.
He had already informed his elder brother that a peerless genius with five elemental spiritual roots had emerged in his fiefdom, and his elder brother wanted to meet him. He also planned to ask his elder brother to bestow a marriage upon Feng Que and Yun Chen.
Since they didn't have any of the five elements' spiritual roots, having a water spiritual root would be good too. So, having failed to seize Fu Yunchen's sect, they began to persuade the Prince of Shang to take Fengque into their sect.
The Prince Shang's mansion was bustling with activity, filled with renowned cultivators from various sects.
Feng Que originally thought he would be able to go to Qingquan Gate soon, but not only was he unable to leave, he was even unsure if he could go at all.
...
Qingquan Gate.
The spiritual energy meridian opening went smoothly, and Fu Yunchen's five elemental spiritual meridians were opened in less than a day.
The surging energy from heaven and earth rushed into his body, and Su Qing had to intervene to suppress it so as not to burst Fu Yunchen's still immature Five Elements Spiritual Meridians.
Fu Yunchen sat cross-legged in his room, and after circulating his spiritual energy through his body for a small cycle, strands of spiritual power began to flow within him.
Beside him was a mirror about the same size as the woman's hand mirror.
This mirror is the Mirror of Fate, which Su Qing gave to him to play with, so he doesn't have to return it to the sect.
