I Have Countless Past-life Identities-Chapter 97 - 68: Song Brahman Mirror: So All This Time, He Was Working So Hard... (Part 2)

"Just like the girl from Song Brahman Mirror, why did she descend the mountain and show compassion to a Half-Demon? She has slain countless demons in her life, which by logic, is an unusual thing."

"But that young man is indeed exceptional, saving him wasn't in vain, although..."

The Sword Observation Elder was about to say more, but hesitated.

However, in a moment, he swallowed the thoughts in his heart and only said:

"Old Man Pu, you manage mundane affairs, these things are your responsibility. Who do you think should be dispatched from the 'Carefree Realm' to descend the mountain and handle the matters of establishing the faction at a pavilion?"

Pu Zhengquan stroked his beard:

"I think... since Song Chai Xin is still within the Yunluan Mountain gate, and also has the connection with Song Brahman Mirror, the bonds will naturally not fade in the future."

"Cui Chan from the Demon-locking Forest has had some previous conflicts with him, as the saying goes, 'once the tribulations are over, brothers remain, a meeting with a smile can settle grudges.' It would be perfect for him to go."

"It's merely a youthful dispute. If Cui Chan can see Song Chai Xin at his current position as Guardian and still harbors no resentment towards Yunluan Mountain, it would be a reconciliation."

"Perhaps it might even mend fences at worst."

Acknowledging the speech, Pu Zhengquan stood up and wrote a letter, handing it over to a disciple to deliver it to the Demon-locking Forest, to the Law Enforcement Elder.

The Communication Jade Talisman, once established with a medium, can transmit messages over a thousand miles unless severed by some means.

It is said to have been spread from 'Grotto Heaven' and beyond, a 'miracle of the immortals', with scarce raw materials sourced from 'Spiritual Ore'. Besides 'gold and silver', it is true hard currency for the Great Innate Empress.

However, reaching the third step is not feasible yet; because it is just within the confines of a mountain, such extravagant means are unnecessary, naturally dispatching a messenger is more convenient and economical.

As for Ruan Xiuxiu, the Jade Talismans were given by her master, not money she earned herself, she doesn't hesitate to sell land and trees, so she naturally doesn't care.

...

Demon-locking Forest.

It's a mountain cave filled with cages holding demons, even at the third step some are imprisoned within, refined blood and extracted tendons serve the practice of disciples from the Yunluan Mountain, presided over by one of the mountain's most powerful Three Elders, the Law Enforcement Elder.

When he received Pu Zhengquan's letter, he couldn't help but squeeze the letter harder.

"Is it that young man?" he murmured under low eyebrows.

His past evaluation of Song Chai Xin was that burning dragon blood, the four great realms of Martial Gate Foundation Establishment, could not hold him back for long.

But the Law Enforcement Elder never anticipated that he walked this path.

Despite his lack of favor for Song Chai Xin's origin, he couldn't help but give him a second look.

After all,

A person with potential can only be admired.

But a person with strength...

Will be valued wherever he goes.

"Master, did you call for me?"

Having just honed his Divine Soul and stored away the 'Visualization Image' left by the Law Enforcement Elder, the energetic Cui Chan hurriedly arrives:

"What's the matter?"

Looking at the vibrant disciple standing with a sword, the Law Enforcement Elder 'hmm'ed with a thoughtful expression:

"Have you recently visited your Senior Sister?"

Cui Chan exclaimed softly, scratching his head:

"Uh... I did go, hoping to learn from the experiences of Senior Sister in solidifying a 'middle-grade' Alchemy Dao, which could result in possessing middle-grade resources if nurturing a Primordial Pill in the future, which makes the fourth step promising!"

The Law Enforcement Elder smirked:

"Is that so?"

"But Song Brahman Mirror hasn't seen you, right."

Cui Chan's expression stiffened:

"Though Senior Sister has solidified the Pill, but the most important part of nourishing the Pill is combining 'Essence, Qi, and Spirit', currently the Divine Soul is not yet merging with the Pill in a 'dragon and tiger converge', just missing a tiny piece."

"Not seeing me as she's whole-heartedly cultivating, is appropriate."

The Law Enforcement Elder glanced at the ashamed-looking disciple but didn't pursue the matter, instead he said:

"Yunluan Mountain is planning to branch out in a major city, this is a good training opportunity, would you go?"

Cui Chan's spirit was lifted:

"To become the head of a branch? That's doable, but..."

He hesitated slightly:

"But in two months is the 'Solidifying Pill Ceremony' of my Senior Sister, won't I miss it?"

The Law Enforcement Elder snorted:

"Don't worry, you'll definitely make it."

"Because the Guardian of that city will certainly return for the ceremony, and it's a personal invitation from Song Brahman Mirror."

"Follow him back at that time, won't you?"

Hearing this, Cui Chan felt assured, but curiosity arose:

"It's good to get back in time, but..."

"Who exactly is so esteemed to warrant a personal invitation from Senior Sister?"

"Since he is the Seventh-Grade Official Mansion Guardian of a renowned city, he must be a well-known Carefree Expert, perhaps I've heard of his name." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

The Law Enforcement Elder held an odd expression: "Surely you've heard his name."

Cui Chan took interest: "Oh? Who might it be?"

"The Miscellaneous Affairs Department outer disciple of Yunluan Mountain, Song Chai Xin." The Law Enforcement Elder flicked the appointment letter from Pu Zhengquan with his finger, sending it into the hands of Cui Chan, who from an energised spirit turned into a blank expression.

Then with his hands folded behind, he entered the Demon-locking Forest.

Leaving only the chief disciple frozen, seemingly yet to fully comprehend what had transpired.

...

Yunluan Mountain, the highest peak!

Cloud Peak Celestial Pool.

A glow of mist akin to treasured light, resplendent and dazzling.

"Splash."

Within a nine-zhang span, entirely sculpted from Profound Cyan Jade into the Moonlight Pool.

A lady, with jade hairpin securing her dark locks, immersed in the pool like the lunar night spring, only her delicate pale shoulders exposed in the air filled with overflowing Essence.
