Chapter 858: Encounter

In the Wood Origin Immortal Realm, within the Yun Qiu Immortal Domain,

Wang Xiangchi wandered through the fairy city, utterly bewildered.

He couldn’t fathom why the Cross-Boundary Teleportation had deposited him here of all places.

He stumbled into a tea house and chose a secluded corner to sit.

"Honored guest, what tea would you like?" inquired a waiter at the Core Formation stage.

Wang Xiangchi scrutinized the waiter briefly before replying, "I’ll have a cup of your house’s specialty Immortal tea and a plate of snacks, please."

"Certainly, that will be two Immortal Jade," the waiter stated.

Though taken aback by the cost, Wang Xiangchi handed over two Immortal Jade.

Once the spirit tea and snacks were served, Wang Xiangchi sipped his tea, eavesdropping on the chatter around him.

Just then, a burly man, whose cultivation level Wang Xiangchi couldn’t discern, took a seat opposite him.

"Looking for information, are you? Skip the hassle—ask me directly. Five Immortal Jade, and I’ll tell you all you need to know," the man offered with a grin.

Without hesitation, Wang Xiangchi placed five Immortal Jade on the table.

"Where am I?"

"You’re in Yun Qiu Immortal Domain, Mu Ling City," the man answered. Wang Xiangchi deduced from his demeanor that he was a cultivator who had illicitly ascended from the lower realms.

"And what realm is this?"

"This is the Wood Origin Immortal Realm."

"Who holds the most power here, and what’s the highest cultivation level?"

"The dominant force here is the Mu Ling Celestial Palace, led by Saint Mu Lei, a Great Luo powerful being," the man explained, proceeding to detail other major forces and notable figures in the vicinity.

Among these, the name Mu Dai caught Wang Xiangchi’s attention, stirring a deep sense of yearning.

"Mu Dai, Saint Mu Lei’s daughter, is at the peak of the true immortal stage, just a step away from the Golden Immortal realm."

"She’s the cherished daughter of Saint Mu Lei, adored by all, but vanished thousands of years ago without a trace," the man elaborated, noticing Wang Xiangchi’s keen interest in Mu Dai.

As Wang Xiangchi was about to inquire further, the man gestured to his empty tea cup, signaling that their session had concluded and further questions would require additional payment.

"I’ve got the information I needed; thank you, senior," Wang Xiangchi said.

The man gave Wang Xiangchi a penetrating look before departing.

Wang Xiangchi quietly continued his tea, then pulled out a space jade plate.

It was an enhanced version of the Hidden Spirit Sect’s sect manual for external excursions.

He navigated through it, found the section on unexpected arrivals in foreign domains, and selected the Immortal Realm option.

"100 Ways to Survive Discreetly in the Immortal Realm"

"How to Navigate the Initial Stage in the Immortal Realm"

"Enhancing Your Quality of Life in an Ordered Immortal Realm"

"Strategies for Earning Immortal Jade Without Investment in the Immortal Realm"

"How to Survive in the Immortal Realm When Penniless"

Wang Xiangchi spent a long time searching before he finally found the information he was looking for.

"How to Establish Contact with a Sect in the Immortal Realm"

Wang Xiangchi opened it and found two reliable methods of contact.

"Spring Blossom Merchant Association and Cycle of Rebirth," Wang Xiangchi murmured to himself.

After reading this, Wang Xiangchi called over the waiter.

"Is there a Spring Blossom Merchant Association in the Yun Qiu Immortal Domain?" Wang Xiangchi asked.

"Yes, there’s a Spring Blossom Merchant Association in Yunque City. You can get there directly through the city’s teleportation formation," the waiter replied.

Wang Xiangchi handed the waiter an Immortal Jade as a tip, learned the location of the teleportation formation, and left.

The burly man who had been talking to Wang Xiangchi earlier followed him, a glint of greed in his eyes.

"A little Small Fry sneaking into the Immortal Realm will only end up being devoured."

Meanwhile, in Yunque City, Mu Dai was ecstatic, wandering around as if she had just been set free.

She bought everything that caught her eye.

"This is for me, and this is for my husband," Mu Dai said with a sweet smile.

Then her expression turned worried.

"My mother is easy to handle, but my father…"

Just then, Mu Dai happened to arrive at the teleportation formation in Yunque City.

At the same moment, Wang Xiangchi stepped out.

Their eyes met as if they had a telepathic connection.

It felt like a reunion after three lifetimes.

Memories from their dreams surfaced in their hearts.

"Husband~" Mu Dai walked over to Wang Xiangchi and said softly.

"Wife~" Wang Xiangchi gently took Mu Dai’s hand.

Their terms of endearment felt sweet and natural.

Mu Dai tightly wrapped her arm around Wang Xiangchi’s.

"Husband, how did you find me?" Mu Dai asked excitedly.

"I was planning to relax in another middle thousand world, but my apprentice’s Affinity Pearls were so powerful that they brought me straight here," Wang Xiangchi said, showing Mu Dai the three Affinity Pearls.

"These are the top-tier Affinity Pearls!" Mu Dai exclaimed in surprise.

While not expensive for him, they were extremely rare.

Once revealed, these pearls would be snatched up by powerful beings.

"You, at the Great Ascension stage, actually have an apprentice?" Mu Dai said, then suddenly remembered. "Oh right, I forgot you’re from a middle thousand world."

There was a hint of apology in her tone.

"It’s fine," Wang Xiangchi replied, not minding.

"Wife, let’s go! To celebrate our reunion, I want to give you a gift," Mu Dai said as she pulled Wang Xiangchi toward a large merchant association.

"Husband, who was the one who saved me back then?" Mu Dai asked.

"Who else could it be but my master?"

"Didn’t I tell you? My master is incredible; he will definitely save you," Wang Xiangchi said with a smile.

"Husband, what level is your master? Golden Immortal?" Mu Dai asked curiously.

"In the middle thousand world, my master can’t be a Golden Immortal, though I feel he is stronger than most Golden Immortals."

"My master is at the supreme Great Ascension stage."

"Although the supreme realm is impressive, it can’t be enough to rescue me from the Inner Realm of Reincarnation," Mu Dai said, somewhat incredulously.

"My master can’t be measured by typical levels; you’ll understand once you meet him," Wang Xiangchi said with a laugh.

After they entered the merchant association, Mu Dai was eager to shop wildly, wanting to buy anything that Wang Xiangchi could use.

"Wife, you don’t need to spend so much; I already have all these things," Wang Xiangchi said.

"Since you have them, let’s get even better ones!" After so many years of not being able to shop, Mu Dai felt like she wanted to buy something.

"Wife, there’s no need to go through all that trouble. My celestial tools were forged by my master and perfectly suit my own techniques and methods."

"Besides, I’m not used to other celestial tools," Wang Xiangchi said.

Now he suddenly understood the feeling of having a true brother.

After looking around, Mu Dai found that her husband really didn’t need to buy anything at all.

"Husband, what do you want to do now?" Mu Dai asked.

She felt meeting Wang Xiangchi was a reward from the heavens.

She was determined not to leave her husband again this time.

"I just want to quietly be with you," Wang Xiangchi said, his eyes sparkling with affection.

"Then let’s go home!"
