Lan Wanyu set off first for Tongling, while the others from Qingjing Peak followed closely behind, boarding the flying boat together.
Yu Miaoyin stood with her hands on her hips, feeling a mix of anger and disbelief. "She really went alone? Didn’t she just say she would take two of us? How can she be so petty and hold a grudge? Senior Sister, why don’t you say something to her?"
Su Lingyue turned around and snapped, "Enough!" If she had dreamed about this a few days earlier, she would never have allowed Yu Miaoyin to blame Lan Wanyu for Ye Xiuyuan's departure.
While Lan Wanyu distanced herself from them, the true culprit, Ye Xiuyuan, remained hidden in the background, and Yu Miaoyin was completely oblivious.
Su Lingyue criticized her without holding back. "You are also at fault here. If you hadn’t been so determined to find Fourth Junior Sister and create trouble, would things have turned out this way? How can you still complain about others’ tempers?"
Without hesitation, Su Lingyue gave her a light smack on the head. Yu Miaoyin rubbed her head, feeling somewhat wronged.
"This matter must not be discussed again in the future, especially by you. If I hear you speak ill of Fourth Junior Sister again, just wait until we return to Pingxie Peak for punishment!"
As soon as she heard about the punishment from Pingxie Peak, Yu Miaoyin immediately pouted and fell silent.
Su Lingyue softened her tone. "Fourth Junior Sister has important matters to attend to as well. The Alchemy Conference will be held in Tongling soon. Even the disciples from Miaochun Valley preparing for the Sect Competition will take time to participate. It wouldn’t be convenient for us to join them."
The group was headed to Floating Island, a mysterious island that had descended from the heavens long ago, said to contain countless opportunities. However, despite many comings and goings over time, no cultivator had emerged from it to ascend in one leap.
As time passed, the once enigmatic allure faded, and those in the cultivation world began to regard it as merely an ordinary place for trials.
Nevertheless, Floating Island was indeed richer in resources compared to other locations. Consequently, the beasts within were more intelligent and powerful than those found elsewhere.
Moreover, just west of this place lay Qianyuan Sect, with the headquarters of Linlang Pavilion situated nearby—prosperous and orderly.
Compared to typical trial grounds, Floating Island posed less risk of robbery or murder, making it a favored destination among cultivators.
Whether they were sect disciples, scions of noble families, or lone cultivators, many came to Floating Island for trials.
After flying for ten full days, they finally arrived at Pingjin City outside Floating Island. The group changed into ordinary attire resembling that of casual cultivators before paying their entrance fee.
Su Lingyue entered a relatively clean and tidy inn and dropped a bag of spirit stones on the counter. "Young man, do you know if there’s anything exciting happening around here lately?"
As Su Lingyue entered the city, she quickly noticed the abundance of cultivators bustling about, their attire varied and many appearing to have hurriedly arrived from distant places.
She pulled out two glowing mid-grade spirit stones from her pouch and pushed them towards the waiter, who eagerly accepted them with a beaming smile. Little did the fairy know, the floating island had become quite lively recently!
Half a month ago, something extraordinary had occurred on this floating island—a beam of light shot into the sky, illuminating the heavens in shades of red, orange, and yellow, reminiscent of dusk. This strange phenomenon had persisted until now!
Everyone was saying that a treasure was about to emerge from the floating island, and sure enough, both wandering cultivators and disciples from various sects had come flocking here. Fortunately, they had arrived early; if they had delayed for a few more days, they might not have even secured a room.
With so many people gathered on the floating island, did anyone know what exactly was happening there? The unusual signs had lasted for half a month; surely someone must have gone to investigate during that time.
The waiter shook his head, suggesting that it was likely no one knew. When spiritual treasures emerged, they were usually accompanied by barriers and guardian beasts. Since the barrier remained intact and no beasts had appeared, it indicated that the treasure was not yet ready to be revealed.
If one were to rashly enter, they might ruin a chance at fortune—such a loss would be regrettable. Most cultivators had merely come to the island to take a distant glance before returning to their inns to wait.
Su Lingyue raised an eyebrow; with so many people around, no one had seen anything? The waiter sighed and explained that the beam of light was enormous—fifty yards away, it was bright enough to blind one’s eyes. Who would dare approach for a closer look? Even if someone did get closer, they probably wouldn’t be able to see clearly.
Even Linlang Pavilion had sent people up to investigate but returned with no news. He lowered his voice and added that Linlang Pavilion was well-established and often dealt in rare treasures; perhaps they had obtained some clues but chose not to disclose them. If the fairy was curious, she could spend some spirit stones at Linlang Pavilion to inquire further.
“Thank you!”
The food served at these inns was mostly prepared for cultivators; eating it not only posed no harm but could also slightly enhance one’s cultivation. A single meal didn’t come cheap.
Feng Hongying let out a satisfied burp while holding her stomach and asked, “Sister, what should we do next?”
“You all should return to your rooms and rest. I’ll go check out Linlang Pavilion.”
Song Xiaoling wanted to accompany her, while Yu Miaoyin preferred to head back and relax.
Feng Hongying only knew to leave these matters to her senior sister, without a single thought of concern for herself.
As she saw Su Lingyue and Song Xiaoling preparing to leave, Ye Xiuyuan hurriedly spoke up. "Sisters, I want to go with you."
Su Lingyue hesitated for a moment but ultimately chose to agree. Keeping Ye Xiuyuan close made her feel more at ease.
The three of them arrived at the Linglang Pavilion, where rare treasures were displayed in abundance, shining brilliantly. Many items that smaller sects would keep hidden in their vaults were openly showcased here.
Even though the three had seen many grand occasions, they couldn't help but be stunned by the extravagance of Linglang Pavilion.
Nearby, a beautiful female cultivator covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes. She stepped forward and asked sweetly, "May I ask what you esteemed guests wish to purchase?"
"You sell everything?"
"As long as the esteemed guests can afford it, we sell anything that Linglang Pavilion has."
Su Lingyue lowered her voice, "Do you also sell information about Floating Islands?"
The female cultivator's eyes flickered with interest as she quickly assessed the three of them. Noticing their composed demeanor and extraordinary presence, she realized that even if they weren't from prominent sects, they must be from notable families.
She smiled and gestured for them to follow her. "Please, right this way."
Meanwhile, Lu Mingyuan searched for Qi Xiao for quite some time before discovering that he was being punished in the Scripture Pavilion. He initially intended to bring someone along but was stopped by Elder Qi.
Upon learning that this was a trial specifically arranged by the Sect Master for Qi Xiao, requiring him to stay there for a full month, he sighed softly and left a note.
"If Qi Xiao comes out, please trouble Elder to pass this on to him. It's just a small matter."
Elder Qi paid no mind to it, but Lu Mingyuan took out two jars of wine brewed from spiritual herbs from his bag, instantly causing Elder Qi's eyes to widen in delight.
"Ah, too kind! Too kind!"
