Immortal Only Accepts Female Disciples

Chen Wentian arrived at the fourth floor of the Golden Basin Auction House. There was nobody around to tell him where to go but a strand of profound spiritual energy soon arrived. It pulled him forward, across the velvety carpet made of exquisite beast furs, past sculpted lanterns, engraved wood-paneled walls, and arrived at a set of golden double doors.

The doors swung ajar before he could knock. He stepped inside into a small sitting room that was occupied by two particular people. He recognized them both and he wasn’t surprised in the slightest.

One of them was Immortal Golden Basin Hu Bao, the master of this auction house. His eyes were closed. His horsetail whisk waved about gently with the swaying of his body. Up close, he seemed ten times older.

The other was none other than Immortal Soaring Mist Xu Kaicheng. He had abandoned his flamboyant golden robes for a set of simple white robes with silver embroidery. It was probably no less expensive but stood out less.

Chen Wentian had accepted Xu Kaicheng’s offer of assistance. He found no other way of fighting back against the Seven Potentates of Jiannan. He had also solicited the Golden Basin for this exact reason so there was no reason not to.

The three immortals studied each other briefly before Chen Wentian bowed respectfully, mostly due to the presence of a Spirit Emperor, “Chen Wentian, greets Golden Emperor Hu.”

Hu Bao’s spiritual sense once again swept over Chen Wentian but receded after a moment. The old man’s eyes cracked open and his lips stretched into a grin, “So this is the friend that Kaikai made recently? Mmm, not bad, not bad. You are far younger than I expected, almost impossibly so. Yet your cultivation is already so deep. A true talent! Good!”

Xu Kaicheng let out a laugh, “See, Grandpa! Didn’t I tell you not to worry? A friend of Xu Kaicheng won’t be a useless person!”

Hu Bao snorted, “You rascal, you can still talk? You let yourself be ambushed by a bunch of bandits. You even got fooled by such an asinine multiplication Dao. Your uselessness almost cost us an unfathomable amount.”

“…” Xu Kaicheng looked around awkwardly before giving Chen Wentian a grin, “Brother Chen, the things you wanted me to do, I’ve taken care of it all for you.”

He flicked his wrist and a spatial bag in the form of a bracelet landed in Chen Wentian’s hand. Inside were a number of expensive items, all ones Chen Wentian had been interested in during the auction.

“Hahaha, I thought Brother Chen wanted help with a great task but this was too easy. Procuring treasures is what we do. I was hoping for more of a challenge!”

“Mmm. Everything looks good.” Chen Wentian replied, “Though I still haven’t paid for the items I bought during the auction.”

Xu Kaicheng waved his hand, “What do you take me for? I haven’t even fully paid back my debt to you, how can I take your money?”

The two shared a laugh.

“If Brother Xu says so, how can I not accept. Golden Emperor Hu, please excuse my behavior.” Chen Wentian said.

Hu Bao stroked his beard with a smile, “Young man, you don’t have to be so courteous. Kaikai spoke well of you but just by his words alone, I would have not agreed to help you. But after I looked into your background, I was even more impressed. Heh, Immortal Blue Dragon Chen Wentian, Ten Thousand Flower Valley, these names have shaken the whole of the Eastern Sanmu Subcontinent in just a couple of years. It is a feat rarely accomplished and each time, it signals the rise of a great power. It’s not just you but your disciples as well. Long Yifei, in particular, has shaken up the upper echelons of the Virtuous Order in ways I have not seen in many years.”

“Golden Emperor Hu has heard of my disciple? I am greatly honored.” Chen Wentian replied.

“Hehe, just a few tidbits here and there. It seems many people have high hopes for her. Such a talented Sacred Daughter is a priceless treasure and also a dangerous hazard. If you are not strong enough to hold onto her, you might lose not just her but your life.”

“Another person has also said the same to me.” Chen Wentian said.

“A wise person! They speak the truth. The Seven Potentates have already set their eyes on Long Yifei. You will only face more challenges from now on but you mustn’t fall. They cannot be allowed to have her no matter what. Thus, I could only help you…” Hu Bao stood up with a grunt and walked up to Chen Wentian and tapped his chest with the whisk, “But remember this, these gifts for your Sacred Daughter are simply that, they are just gifts at the end of the day. Sacred Daughters that grow to become prioresses and abbotesses are all talented but they can’t do it alone. Their acolyte must be even stronger or else they won’t be able to support her. Therefore, you must still strive to improve your strength as quickly as possible.”

Chen Wentian replied seriously, “I understand.”

“Good, good. I have a suggestion for you. You cultivate flame arts. Kaikai tells me that it is good but a bit lacking. I happen to have a nice opportunity for you to experience some flame Dao of a much higher order. I was wondering if you would like to accompany me sometime in the future to visit a friend of mine?” Hu Bao asked, his eyes twinkling.

“Would this friend be Immortal Frostfire Hurricane Mao Tongxiao of the Frostfire Nation? Does she know that I had a hand in procuring the Frostfire Flower she was so interested in?” Chen Wentian asked.

Hu Bao chuckled and Xu Kaicheng also laughed. Between the two, Chen Wentian wasn’t sure if he should be grateful or worried. While visiting a powerhouse sect of the Martial Brilliance Continent was intriguing by itself, that sect was a member of the Seven Potentates, his enemy. Hu Bao’s request also didn’t sound as simple as an ordinary visit. There was potential to be roped into all kinds of situations that were dangerous for a little Spirit Lord like him.

Chen Wentian shook his head and bowed, “I apologize deeply, Emperor Hu. After the Gift Giving Ceremony of the Virtuous Order, I have to return to the Eastern Sanmu Subcontinent. I have other disciples that I have neglected for too long. I cannot stay.”

Hu Bao’s smile still remained despite the rejection, “No worries. Take care of your business first. My invitation doesn’t have a time limit the same way my visit to the Frostfire Nation also does not have a specific time limit.”

Chen Wentian smiled and nodded although inwardly, he was regretting the situation already. Asking such a powerful faction as the Golden Basin Auction House for help was never a simple affair, especially since he was so powerless in comparison. Two parties of equal might were able to conduct business openly and fairly. A person in his situation could only let the other party dictate all the conditions without much opportunity to fight back.

However, since Hu Bao did not pressure him on the matter, it wasn’t a complete disaster. It gave him enough time to consider the matter and prepare accordingly. With proper preparation, his chances of coming out with great benefits would increase greatly.

“Alright then, young friend, come find me if you are curious about the Frostfire Nation but don’t delay too long.” Hu Bao said dismissively.

“Thank you, Emperor Hu for your assistance today!” Chen Wentian replied with another bow.

By the time he raised his head, the Spirit Emperor had already disappeared.
