Floating Celestial Island

“How so?” asked Mu Yu.

“I suggest you don’t ask about that. Though he’s always kept a low profile, I do know where you can find him. He received an invitation to Floating Celestial Island on 8th August just as I have. You’ll find him there if you’re lucky.”

Ximen Buxing put away his pink handbook and drifted over to sit in the seat opposite Mu Yu’s.

“Floating Celestial Island?” repeated Mu Yu, assuming everyone knew what it was based on Ximen Buxing’s tone.

“Surely you know of it. Anyway, Future Brother-in-law, remember to put in a good word for me as remuneration for the information.”

Ximen Buxing helped himself to a cup of wine, gave Mu Yu and smile and then leapt out of the window.

Mu Yu shut the window. “I need to close my window when I sleep in the future. I never want to deal with another joke in my bed again.”

Mu Yu went straight to Cai Lie’s room first thing the next morning to ask about Floating Celestial Island. In a bleary state, Cai Lie asked, “You don’t know what Floating Celestial Island is?”

“No,” replied Mu Yu, finally understanding how Tian Ran felt when she first arrived at Moyun Mountains and was lost.

“For starters, it’s not somewhere you can go just because you want to. Every youth who goes there is famous and respected. You need to be, at least, at Primordial Infant Realm to enter. Golden Core Realm cultivators are just errand boys on the island. Keep in mind all the accomplished young prodigies are proud. The only person who can invite all of them to do something is Huai Baiwan.

“Huai Baiwan is a businessman who does business specifically for cultivators. The popular saying is, ‘Huai Baiwan has whatever it is you want to buy.’ You have to admit he knows what he’s doing. You can find a branch of his company anywhere you go in the world of cultivation. Their stores are called Myriad Company. Whatever it is you want, just drop into one of their branches. If they don’t have stock in store, they’ll give you a time frame, and they absolutely will stock it within the promised time frame. I shouldn’t have to say this, but the more valuable an item is, the more spirit stones you have to cough up. We shop at their place when we’re short on things for alchemy.”

“Sheesh. What about if someone ask for True God’s Celestial Sword?”

Mu Yu inquired, “How far are we from Floating Celestial Island?”

“Not really. It’s approximately two hundred and fifty kilometres north of the city. Are you planning to go?”

Floating Celestial Island was closer than Twenty-Five Kilometres South Garden, so Mu Yu planned to go to Floating Celestial Island.

“Yeah, you have any ideas for me to sneak in?”

“I suggest you quit while you’re ahead. It’s tough to stay if you’re not a Primordial Infant Realm cultivator. Those prodigies will get physical the moment you step on their toes.”

Mu Yu wasn’t intending to go picking fights. He responded, “You make it sound as if you’re not part of the young generation.”

A smile came to Cai Lie’s lips. “Honestly, I want to go. They can flaunt their genius all they want. At the end of the day, though, they have to respect alchemists. I want to go there to peddle pills. They have deep pockets, so I don’t need to feel sorry for them.”

Alchemist Yao was busy sorting out the aftermath of the elemental demons’ invasion and sending search teams to every house. He had to write a mountain of reports to Third Heaven Palace, explaining what happened. There were still no clues how they entered the city via the teleportation formation. The home the elemental demons based the formation in was an abandoned home. When he finally met up with Cai Lie, he was just back to pack his gear and rush back to Pill Cauldron Sect.

Tian Ran wanted to go with Mu Yu. Regrettably, she had no say in the matter. Plus, she had to deliver Feng Haochen’s letter to her mother.

“Tian Ran, you should report back to put your sect at ease. If you miss me, you know where to find me, don’t you?” suggested Mu Yu, giving Tian Ran a head pat.

With a palm-fist salute, Alchemist Yao conveyed, “Mu Yu, we will meet again.”

Mu Yu helped Alchemist Yao extract some more wood residue before the elder left. After he sent the group off, he prepared to head to Floating Celestial Island.

“Where are you off to?”

Mu Yu bumped into Tian Yun as soon as he hit the streets. However, the real surprise was Rou Anna was next to Tian Yun and bowing down!
