Chapter 511 Gui Ying Immortal Venerable: Junior Brother, Her Majesty The Queen Has Been Waiting For
Chapter 511: Qinying Immortal Venerable
"Junior Martial Brother, Her Majesty the Empress has been waiting for you for a while!"
Yun Qingzhi has always been resolute and decisive in character. Since she has made up her mind, she intends to take immediate action.
Qinying Immortal Venerable hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not stop her. She also wanted to quickly find out whether the guests in that private room had any connection to Qin Muling. If it was true, it would be a pleasant surprise.
Once they made a move, Qin Muling naturally became aware of it and felt somewhat conflicted. If she left immediately, not only would she not have enough time, but she would also miss out on some good things that have yet to appear in this auction.
"...Junior Martial Brother, what's wrong?"
Zi Shiyun keenly sensed something and quietly asked through their spiritual connection.
"They...have already gathered outside the door."
Qin Muling sighed and responded somewhat helplessly. It seems that she underestimated Qinying Immortal Venerable and the others' obsession with her. Now that they have doubts, they can't wait to come and verify the truth.
Yu Xingning's expression changed slightly, and she instinctively wanted to get up, but she held back and looked at Purple Orchid Empress.
The head of the Chamber of Commerce still hadn't understood what was going on. She only saw a guard elder enter the private room, holding a letter of introduction, and after bowing, he reported:
"Princess Yun Qingzhi of the Luojia Divine Dynasty, Venerable Qinying of the Xiao Clan, and the personal disciple of the current Grand Tutor, Xiao Yuhuan, have come to visit Junior Martial Brother Qin. May I..."
"Junior Martial Brother Qin?"
Purple Orchid Empress was obviously a little confused. She glanced at the group of stunningly beautiful women outside the private room and didn't know what to say.
Linghu Xuelan's eyebrows slightly furrowed as she stood up and said, "Let the three of them in, but others can be exempted!"
The guard elder left to carry out the order, accompanied by the pleasant sound of jingling bells. Qinying Immortal Venerable, along with Yun Qingzhi and Xiao Yuhuan, entered the private room and appeared in the sight of the senior martial sisters.
"Junior Martial Brother Qin, it's really you? We do have some fate!"
Wearing a pure white palace dress, Qinying Immortal Venerable, noble and enchanting, immediately looked at Qin Muling with a pleasantly surprised expression.
As for Qin Muling's current appearance and attire, she didn't pay much attention to it. The Luojia Divine Dynasty is a force composed entirely of female cultivators, and in this Great World, female cultivators are revered. Even male cultivators from outside have to follow the rules here, so it's normal for them to dress as women.
Qin Muling nodded, "Indeed, we have quite a connection. This time, when I came to Luojia Great World with my senior martial sisters, I wanted to purchase some useful resources. After all, the number of my dao companions at home is too many to support!"
"???"
Yun Qingzhi was speechless. Elegant and dignified, Xiao Yuhuan pursed her lips and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Junior Martial Brother Qin, how many dao companions do you actually have?"
After seriously thinking for a moment, Qin Muling replied, "Probably several hundred thousand, I can't remember the exact number. And those old fogies at home still think it's not enough and want me to continue marrying!"
Yun Qingzhi couldn't help but be speechless. This Junior Martial Brother Qin is indeed popular, but considering his special identity, it seems to be within reason?
Purple Orchid Empress gracefully stood up, first greeted Yun Qingzhi and Qinying Immortal Venerable, and then smiled and said:
"It turns out that Fellow Daoist Qin and the Twelve Princesses know each other. I have been ignorant."
Qin Muling nodded slightly, "Senior Sister Qinying, please have a seat. I came here in a hurry this time and didn't have time to contact you. I hope you don't mind."
"It's alright, as long as Junior Brother Qin is here!"
Immortal Venerable Qinying, Yun Qingzhi, and Xiao Yuhuan gracefully took their seats and smiled, "Since Junior Brother Qin wants to buy something, why didn't you tell us? As long as you are willing to speak up, we can provide you with any resources we have here, and it's all free!"
Qin Muling shook his head, "There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If I accept your things, I will have to stay in the Luojia Divine Dynasty forever and serve you. That's not what I want!"
Yun Qingzhi looked at Purple Orchid Empress who was accompanying them and said softly, "We want to talk to Junior Brother Qin about something. Sister Zilan, can you step aside for a moment?"
Purple Orchid Empress nodded slightly and excused herself. After all, she was in charge of the Dragon Abyss Pavilion and only had a business relationship with the Luojia Divine Dynasty. It was not convenient for her to know certain things.
After all the maids and servants had left, Linghu Xuelan smiled and said, "Actually, I think if Sister wants to talk about something, it's better to wait for Junior Brother Qin to finish collecting the things from this auction first."
Immortal Venerable Qinying's eyes flickered, "That's not a problem. Luojia Divine Dynasty will bear all the expenses of this auction!"
Qin Muling looked at her, "There's no need for that. I don't lack these benefits. But I already know your intentions. And I'm sorry, I can't give you the answer you want!"
"Luojia Divine Dynasty has never allowed male cultivators to enter the high ranks of the Divine Dynasty. It's impossible for me to make an exception for me. So let's forget about this matter, shall we? Besides, you don't want the Divine Dynasty to go to war with the Great World behind me, do you?"
Immortal Venerable Qinying's expression slightly changed as she asked in a low voice, "Can Junior Brother Qin reveal which Great World you come from?"
"I'm sorry... I can't disclose that."
Qin Muling shook his head lightly. He couldn't reveal the Extreme Void Starry Sky. But if he made up a fake origin, considering Immortal Venerable Qinying's attention to him, she might send someone to secretly investigate and verify it. It would be exposed sooner or later.
Yun Qingzhi carefully observed Qin Muling for a while and said, "Even if you can't stay, can you help us with something? We won't let you work for nothing. We will give you generous rewards!"
Qin Muling smiled, "Princess's idea is more practical. I can help, but let's talk in detail after the auction."
Immortal Venerable Qinying breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Junior Brother Qin didn't leave immediately, there was still room for negotiation.
Outside the private room, a large group of women with cold expressions, wearing golden armor and embroidered robes, silently gathered, sealing off the surrounding space and preventing outsiders from approaching. Some sharp-eyed cultivators recognized them as the palace guards of the Luojia Divine Dynasty, who usually only obeyed the orders of the Empress.
Not long after, a dignified and serious court lady entered the private room where Qin Muling was and handed a palm-sized exquisite jade talisman and a small golden seal to Immortal Venerable Qinying.
"Alright, I have obtained the authorization from the Empress. Everything that has not been sold in this auction belongs to Junior Brother Qin!"
Immortal Venerable Qinying said with a smile, as long as she could please Qin Muling, even if she emptied the entire treasury of the Dragon Abyss Pavilion, it wouldn't matter.
Qin Muling put down the wine cup in his hand and asked thoughtfully, "It seems that I want to search the treasury of the Divine Dynasty. Your Empress won't refuse, right?"
Qin Muling, Immortal Venerable Qinying, covered his mouth and chuckled, "Of course, as long as Junior Brother Qin is willing to stay and become the husband of the Luojia Divine Dynasty, what does this matter mean?"
"Forget it, pretend I didn't say that!"
Qin Muling shook his head and stopped discussing the topic.
Yu Xingning and Linghu Xuelan exchanged glances, already prepared to take action. Besides the twenty or so senior sisters by Qin Muling's side, there were also hundreds of high-level female immortals from the Immortal Dynasty Heavenly Court hidden in his spatial realm. They could be released to join the battle when needed. Moreover, there was the Twelve Heavenly Capital Divine Wraith Great Formation, a killer move that they didn't need to worry about the other side turning hostile.
As expected, until several hours later when the auction ended, the cultivators in the venue had gained nothing. Even the two Innate Primordial Supreme Treasures, a sword technique from an Earth Level Great World, twelve Immortal Grade spirit pills, and a alchemy manual from a certain relic secret palace, all ended up in the hands of Immortal Venerable Qinying.
Some hot-tempered cultivators in the venue wanted to make a scene, but after learning that it was someone important from the Luojia Divine Dynasty who made the move, they all chose to remain silent.
Before long, Purple Orchid Empress led hundreds of high-level female immortals into the venue. In their hands were trays of rare treasures.
"...Alright, I'll accept these things!"
Qin Muling said, waving his hand gently. Soft and clear radiance swept through, collecting all these treasures and hundreds of high-level female cultivators into his spatial realm.
Immortal Venerable Qinying smiled as he watched him take away all the treasures, then said, "Please follow me, our Empress has been waiting for you for a long time!"
"Alright, lead the way!"
Qin Muling wasn't surprised. Since the high-level members of the Luojia Divine Dynasty knew about his arrival, they would definitely treat him with the highest standards.
However, before leaving, Qin Muling had his senior sisters enter his spatial realm to take shelter, including Yu Xingning and Linghu Xuelan.
This was easy to understand. If the negotiation were to break down later, Qin Muling wasn't afraid of his senior sisters causing trouble. But if they went crazy and managed to capture a few senior sisters to blackmail him, things would be more difficult to handle.
If there was only Qin Muling himself at the scene, he could run away at any time and no one could stop him.
Seeing Qin Muling's actions, Immortal Venerable Qinying understood what was going on. He didn't expose it and simply accompanied him, along with Yun Qingzhi and Xiao Yuhuan, as they left the private room. They walked out of the trading hall under the farewell of Purple Orchid Empress.
Outside on the street, millions of palace female guards had already sealed off the surrounding space. A magnificent palace, covering an area of over a thousand acres, stood in the air, radiating golden brilliance and surrounded by a terrifying pressure.
That was the residence of the current Empress of the Luojia Divine Dynasty.
Immortal Venerable Qinying held Qin Muling's arm and soared into the sky. After a few breaths, they entered the interior of the palace.
Everywhere Qin Muling looked, there were high-level female immortals with beautiful appearances. It wasn't rare to see powerful cultivators who had reached the Three Corpse Unified Harmony realm.
Moreover, deep within the palace, there was an exceptionally majestic and unfathomable aura lurking.
At this moment, Qin Muling suddenly remembered that in the Luojia Great World, there should be special existences at the level of quasi-saints. That aura was probably one of them.
Immortal Venerable Qinying led him through layers of strict security lines and, after a while, entered a luxurious chamber filled with a warm and sweet fragrance.
On a large beautiful jade bed, a woman with a stunning appearance, exquisite beauty, and dressed in a black flame palace gown sat quietly. Her curvaceous figure was domineering and her aura was warm and powerful. Her radiant eyes, like stars, looked with interest at the purple-clad handsome youth who had just entered.
Beside this stunning woman, there were more than ten beautiful ladies, all of them stunning in appearance, demeanor, and temperament.
"Are you... the little junior brother that they often mention?" the Empress tilted her head slightly, looking Qin Muling up and down, her beautiful face filled with a smile.
"I am truly fortunate to have the opportunity to see the legendary Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus in human form in my lifetime. It seems that the divine will is truly favoring our Luojia Divine Dynasty," the Empress said with a smile.
Qin Muling's gaze remained calm. "Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand. I did not agree to stay in the Luojia Divine Dynasty."
The atmosphere suddenly quieted down, and the expressions of the noble ladies around them turned slightly cold.
Immortal Venerable Qinying's expression changed slightly, and she quickly reminded in a low voice, "Junior brother, you must not be disrespectful to Her Majesty."
The Empress smiled, "It's alright, Qin Muling, right? As long as you don't mind, you can call me senior sister from now on."
Qin Muling: "..."
Yun Qingzhi: "..."
Immortal Venerable Qinying didn't know what to say. It seemed that even the Empress herself was willing to personally intervene to get closer to Qin Muling. But considering Qin Muling's identity and background, it seemed only natural. The Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus was crucial to their own lives, paths, and even the possibility of achieving saintliness in the future.
After thinking for a moment, Immortal Venerable Qinying communicated with the Empress through divine sense.
The Empress's eyes flickered, and she continued to smile, "So that's how it is. I wonder how long Qin junior brother can stay here?"
Qin Muling remained calm, "At most twenty days, and then I have to leave. I have to go to the Mong Family for our appointment in half a year. I need to go in time to receive the new batch of resources and handle various matters in the Extreme Void Starry Sky. I also need to accompany my senior sisters."
The Empress furrowed her brows lightly, "Twenty days is a bit short. Can't you stay a little longer? Several princesses have not returned yet, and they all want to see you!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Qingzhi's expression subtly changed. Obviously, her mother's arrangement made her feel a certain sense of crisis.
Qin Muling remained unmoved, "That's your business, senior sister. I won't accommodate them. Twenty days is enough time to do many things. Besides, except for asking me to stay as a husband, everything else can be considered."
The noble ladies around the Empress seemed to want to say something, but they were stopped by her gaze.
In a situation where they were not sure if they could keep Qin Muling, it was best not to think about certain words or things. Otherwise, once they angered him, all the previous goodwill would be lost.
The Empress pondered for a moment, "Since that's the case, please help us treat a group of senior elders who are in a deep sleep due to severe injuries. As for the reward... what kind of resources do you want? Luojia Divine Dynasty's treasury is quite abundant, so we won't treat you unfairly."
Qin Muling nodded, "That shouldn't be difficult. How many people does Your Majesty plan to send over?"
"I have a treasure called the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore, which has the effect of accelerating time by ten thousand times. As long as it's not more than one million people, it should be manageable."
Actually, it could handle more, even ten times that amount, but from Qin Muling's perspective, he definitely wouldn't reveal his full strength.
A hint of surprise appeared in the Empress's beautiful eyes, "You have one million people? That's quite a lot. Then let's settle it like this!"
