Shangguan glared at Xie Yishang and said in a deep voice, "Fairy Xie, what urgent matter do you have to discuss?"
Xie Yishang sighed softly, "Boss Shangguan, there's something very wrong with that Chu Tianyao who recently ascended to the Immortal Realm."
"Who is Chu Tianyao?" Shangguan Nu frowned; he had never heard of this person.
"Chu Tianyao ascended to the Immortal Realm a month ago..." A hint of hatred flashed in Xie Yishang's eyes. "This person is very problematic."
Shangguan Nu frowned. "What is his cultivation level?"
Xie Yishang slowly said, "First level of the Half-Immortal Realm!"
Shangguan Nu's face darkened. "Fairy Xie, are you saying that this Chu Tianyao is only at the first level of the Half-Immortal Realm?!"
"You had Wang Shuang inform me that you had something important to discuss... and it turns out, you were only doing this for Chu Tianyao?!"
"You think you, Fairy Xie, can't easily manipulate a mere newly promoted immortal at the first level of the Half-Immortal Realm?"
"Any one of your lackeys who'd fawn over you could handle this Chu Tianyao?!"
"Xie Yishang, when did you start to have the illusion that you could waste my time?"
Seeing that Shangguan was about to lose his temper, Xie Yishang quickly said, "Boss Shangguan, please calm down. I've been tricked by this person..."
"That day, I invited Chu Tianyao to the cabin for joint cultivation... but he actually tried to drain my energy in reverse!"
"This directly caused me to fall from my cultivation level!"
Shangguan Nu then raised an eyebrow. "You mean, your love spell was broken by this person?"
"Hmm... Even if your Hehuan Technique is at the late stage of the Half-Immortal Realm, it might still be bewitching. This Chu Tianyao is only at the first level of the Half-Immortal Realm, yet he is not bewitched by you. He is indeed a person with a firm Dao heart."
Xie Yishang shook her head slightly. "If that were all, I wouldn't have come here to find Boss Shangguan."
"Later, I summoned several of my admirers to investigate Chu Tianyao's whereabouts..."
"The result was unexpected; Chu Tianyao actually chose to enter the immortal cave immediately."
Shangguan Nu frowned. "Hmm? A celestial abode... that place requires a high amount of celestial crystals. Even if he can hide there for a while, he can't stay hidden for more than a few days. Once he runs out of celestial crystals, he'll have to come out."
Xie Yishang sighed, "But Chu Tianyao has been in the immortal cave for a month now, and there's still no sign of him coming out."
A hint of surprise flashed in Shangguan's angry eyes. "Hmm...where did he get so many immortal crystals? Could it be that he sold the immortal artifacts in your storage bag?"
"No... Before I came here, I went to the Immortal Artifact Shop to inquire, and Chu Tianyao has never consigned any Immortal Artifacts."
"And I only have a little over seventy immortal crystals in my storage bag! Including the ten crystals that Chu Tianyao received, the total amount of immortal crystals I have is no more than ninety."
"With only ninety immortal crystals, what makes Chu Tianyao think he can stay in a celestial abode for a month without coming out?"
Shangguan Nu said in a deep voice, "Could this person have robbed other immortals?!"
Xie Yishang shook her head. "According to our investigation, Chu Tianyao has not had any conflicts with other immortals."
"After leaving my wooden hut, he went straight to the immortal's cave..."
Shangguan glared at Xie Yishang and said, enunciating each word clearly, "Is this really true?!"
"There is multiple corroborating evidence for this matter. On that day, many immortals at the half-immortal realm regarded Chu Tianyao as a fat sheep and followed him."
"His travel itinerary is completely transparent!"
"How is this possible!" Shangguan Nu finally exclaimed in shock. "Where would a cultivator who has just ascended to the Immortal Realm get more Immortal Crystals?!"
"We all ascended to the Immortal Realm from the Upper Realm, and the currencies of the Cultivation Realm and the Immortal Realm are completely different!"
"Spirit stones from the cultivation world are like scrap metal in the immortal realm, utterly worthless! How on earth did Chu Tianyao acquire so many immortal crystals?!"
Xie Yishang said in a deep voice, "So, Chu Tianyao has a big secret! Boss Shangguan, the reason I came to you is that I hope you can help me nip this Chu Tianyao in the bud!"
"If Chu Tianyao had an endless supply of immortal crystals, he could stay in the immortal cave forever, and that would be fine."
"As long as he comes out of the immortal cave, we can kill him in one fell swoop and then divide up his opportunity."
Shangguan Nu's expression changed several times. "Since Fairy Xie believes that Chu Tianyao possesses a great opportunity, why did you inform me instead of keeping it to yourself?"
"After all, you have immortals at the seventh level of the Half-Immortal Realm under your command. Even if Chu Tianyao has some trump cards, he is still inferior in realm. Why invite me to join you in this battle?"
Xie Yishang shook her head. "Even an eagle uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit! Besides, Chu Tianyao is no rabbit to be slaughtered."
"Boss Shangguan, we all ascended to the Immortal Realm from the Upper Realm. Back in the cultivation world, which immortal here wasn't a peerless genius, a protagonist who swept through everything in his path?"
"But after ascending to the Immortal Realm, apart from Chu Tianyao... has anyone else experienced this situation?"
"He possesses celestial crystals of unknown origin; such an incredible opportunity also carries enormous risks!"
"I dare not keep this to myself, so I ask Boss Shangguan to join me in this effort."
Shangguan Nu's expression changed several times before he finally nodded. "I will arrange for people to keep an eye on the immortal's cave."
"Once Chu Tianyao emerges from the immortal cave, I will capture him!"
Xie Yishang clasped her hands in a fist salute to Shangguan Nu, "Boss Shangguan, it's a deal! After the matter is settled, you can choose the opportunities that Chu Tianyao has first."
After saying that, Xie Yishang turned and left.
Shangguan Nu stared at Xie Yishang's retreating figure, his eyes flashing... as if he were assessing something.
Thirty-two days passed quickly.
Sixty-two days have passed since Chu Tianyao entered the immortal cave!
Inside the celestial cave...
Chu Tianyao was calmly meditating and cultivating!
Suddenly, the system's voice rang out.
"Ding! It has been detected that the host has accumulated 62 days of cultivation within the immortal cave, gaining 6200 immortal essence points!"
"Ding! You currently have 7000 Immortal Essence points remaining!"
"The host's current cultivation level is the second level of the Half-Immortal Realm!"
"The current 7000 Immortal Essence Points are enough to advance your cultivation level... (Each advancement in the Half-Immortal Realm requires 1000 Immortal Essence Points.)"
"Ding! 7000 Immortal Essence Points have been automatically converted into cultivation level..."
"Current cultivation level is the ninth level of the Half-Immortal Realm! Remaining Immortal Yuan Points: 0."
Almost instantly!
Chu Tianyao felt that his soul and immortal body had undergone a qualitative leap!
His body began to emanate a faint ethereal light...
This means that Chu Tianyao's immortal body is undergoing changes!
The flawed immortal body is undergoing self-refinement and is getting infinitely closer to a flawless immortal body.
Chu Tianyao let out a long sigh of relief, "Within this Fallen Immortal Forest, I am invincible!"
