“Are you the General of the Imperial Palace, Zhang?”

“Are you the present envoy of the Body-incorporating Sect?”

Zhang Konghu and Li Nian’er were surprised by each other’s identities, displaying mutual respect towards each other’s powers.

However, Li Nian’er’s surprise was greater. The Imperial Palace and the Body-incorporating Sect had always had a good relationship, and Zhang Konghu was her senior.

“Owner, give me a ground-level room.” Zhang Konghu slapped a Spirit Stone onto the table, with a domineering air, but the Spirit Stone he gave was just enough for one night’s stay, neither more nor less.

“Listen to you, how dare I take your money?” The innkeeper smiled with a rubbing hand gesture, “Would you like to stay in the Sky-level room? I can clear it for you right away.”

The innkeeper knew that a commander from the Imperial Palace was least likely to be a Body Integration Realm cultivator, and he, being a small Qi Cultivation Stage figure, could only admire from afar.

This inn had once housed a God-transformation stage cultivator. He did his best to serve the guest with the best room and manner, but just because he didn’t actively refuse to take money, the guest became slightly displeased, punished him lightly, and left him bedridden for three months.

This time he learned his lesson, he first refused to take money, to avoid angering the big shots again.

“How can you not take money? Running a business is not charity.” Zhang Konghu frowned, forcing the Spirit Stone into the innkeeper’s hands, “And isn’t the Sky-level room already occupied?”

“There is, will be very soon!” After seeing Jiang Li, who was standing at the door eating candied haw, the innkeeper walked over to him, hoping that Jiang Li would switch to a ground-level room.

Actually, if Zhang Konghu and Li Nian’er had not intervened, scaring away the servant from some unknown family, the innkeeper would have asked Jiang Li to give up his room as well.

Jiang Li changed his appearance, Zhang Konghu didn’t recognize him, but he stopped the innkeeper from going to Jiang Li: “We should have the first come first served policy, our Imperial Palace is regarded as what in your eyes? A domineering force that bullies others with power?”

“If you continue like this, I will stay somewhere else.”

Jiang Li, while eating candied haw, walked in: “It’s not that our Imperial Palace is perceived badly in others’ eyes, it’s just that the innkeeper is scared of being bullied by high-level cultivators.”

“Don’t change your place, just stay here.” Jiang Li took out some Spirit Stones,

“Owner, two ground-level rooms, these two are on me.”

Hearing the manner of the conversation, Zhang Konghu realized that the one eating candied haw was Brother Jiang.

“Kong Hu, Niece Li, come on up.”

Li Nian’er didn’t know that this was Jiang Li, but she was still led by Zhang Konghu to the newly opened room.

“Are you Li Er’s daughter?”

“Yes, my father is the head of the Body-incorporating Sect, Li Er.” Li Nian’er faced Jiang Li and felt an inexplicable pressure which was even greater than the pressure she felt in front of her father.

Li Er, it’s not a derogatory term or nickname, the head of Body-incorporating Sect is named Li Er.

‘When did Li Er start a family?” Zhang Konghu also knew Li Er, but had never heard of him having a family.

“Maybe he felt embarrassed.” Jiang Li also learned about Li Er’s marriage just today, upon seeing Li Nian’er.

“There are no outsiders here, you should know me. My name is Jiang Li.” Jiang Li revealed his true face, causing Li Nian’er’s beautiful eyes to widen slightly.

“Jiang, Jiang the Human Emperor.”

Li Nian’er took off her protective jade pendant and dispelled the illusion technique on her body.

The girl who looked alright in appearance transformed into an incredibly beautiful woman with a captivating demeanor, golden hair, green eyes, and a shapely, curvaceous, petite figure – but what drew most attention was a pair of small dragon horns on her head.

Dragon Maiden.

“I was saying why Li Er didn’t tell us…” Zhang Konghu was about to speak when he was stared at by Jiang Li, stopping him from saying the next line “He actually married a real dragon.”

He instantly realized his mistake, using such words to tease Li Er was acceptable, but it was not appropriate to say them in front of Li Er’s daughter.

The union of humans and monsters in the Nine Provinces was not a novelty, but many people still felt uncomfortable, or rather, not used to it, like Zhang Konghu’s reaction. It was not with scorn, but he would still use it to tease the people involved.

If people considered it as common, they would not tease, instead they would simply nod, thinking this was nothing unusual.

“Was the jade pendant given to you by your mother?”

“Yes.” Li Nian’er nodded, she rarely revealed her true face in front of strangers and was a bit uncomfortable.

No wonder I didn’t notice the illusion technique, Zhang Konghu thought, a jade pendant with illusion technique made for a daughter by a real dragon—Zhang Konghu, who was a Body Cultivator, failed to notice at first glance.

Jiang Li happened to know that there was a real dragon who was very good at illusion techniques, she was the younger sister of the Western Sea Dragon King.

“Kong Hu, have you found a place that meets the conditions?”

“I found quite a few.” Zhang Konghu projected a holographic map. Several red dots marked on it were places where the tombs of God-transformation stage cultivators were located at the bottom of cliffs.

Jiang Li really wanted to say, why do you God-transformation stage cultivators like to bury yourselves at the bottom of cliffs? Is the feng Shui particularly good there?

This was only found by one general. Other generals found places where the quantity was only more and not less than what Zhang Konghu found.

Fortunately, the Nine Provinces were vast with many cliffs. Otherwise, Jiang Li really worried about where the future God-transformation stage cultivators would be buried.

Jiang Li was already picturing how future God-transformation stage cultivators would find their grave sites.

Brother Dao, your grave location is not bad, the bottom of the cliff, quiet and secluded. May I build one next to you? You won’t mind, right? If you don’t say anything, I’ll take it as agreement.

“Hey, I was just going to this location.” Li Nian’er pointed at a red dot, it was just over 200 miles away from their present location.

Zhang Konghu just returned from there: “There is only one tomb of a

God-transformation stage cultivator, why are you going there?”

For average cultivators, the tomb of a God-transformation stage cultivator represents endless danger and opportunity, but for the Body-incorporating Sect’s envoy like Li Nian’er, such a tomb was as tasteful as chicken ribs.

“Hehe, you are unaware of this, Senior Zhang. That God-transformation cultivator was from the Beast-controlling Sect, he carried an ‘Immortal Beast Catalogue’. By perusing the catalogue, we can perceive the form and majesty of the Immortal Beasts. This is not much use to other sects, but it’s a great thing for our Body-incorporating Sect.” “I also found out about this recently.”

“I see.”

Zhang Konghu understood. The disciples of the Body-incorporating Sect practiced in a way different from ordinary cultivators. They targeted the creation or divine Docnes ror tnelr practice. For tms reason, tney 0Dservea all things, learned from their strengths, combined it with their personal characteristics, and created a divine body unique to themselves.

But one cannot contemplate something too distant from oneself; Li Er often contemplated Jiang Li, hoping to create a divine body as powerful as Jiang Li. So far, the Jiang Li image contemplated by Li Er still bore little resemblance to a “human”.

The image of the Immortal Beasts in the Immortal Beast Catalogue does not even make up one ten-thousandth of the power of the Immortal Beasts, which was perfect for contemplation.

The Body-incorporating Sect also had a ‘Beast Catalogue’ similar to the

‘Immortal Beast Catalogue’, but had not included all the Immortal Beasts. Li Nian’er wanted to visit the tomb of that God-transformation stage cultivator to see if she could fill in the blank..
