NOVPUB"You’re looking for the Eternal Flower?"
The hunchbacked old man’s expression suddenly became one of shocked suspicion, clearly aware of the rarity of the Eternal Flower.
"The Eternal Flower is exceedingly rare and grows in an unpredictable environment without any regular pattern, making it extremely difficult to find. Often it blooms and withers silently in places untouched by man..."
"Although I have some experience in searching for various Heavenly Treasures Materials, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to find the Eternal Flower for you."
The hunchbacked old man stated the truth, not daring to make such a promise offhandedly.
Yet his words instilled more confidence instead, showing that he took promises seriously.
"No matter, you just do your best to look for it."
Qinchuan spoke up.
He was of course aware that the Eternal Flower was difficult to find.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked the other party to find the Eternal Flower for him.
This was like casting a wider net, whether there would be a catch was all up to the will of heaven.
The hunchbacked old man pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, I can promise you, I will do my best to seek out the Eternal Flower for you."
Qinchuan nodded and said, "Before you look for the Eternal Flower, you’ll first need to find the whereabouts of the Gongshan Clan."
"As for the formula of the Emperor Breakthrough Pill, I will give it to you once you have found the whereabouts of the Gongshan Clan."

Having said that, Qinchuan waved his hand and left the residence of the hunchbacked old man.
He stepped out of the secret realm and returned to Tianqing City.
"Master, you just gave him the first of the Ancient Named Techniques so easily. What if he doesn’t diligently seek the Gongshan Family, or if he cannot find the whereabouts of the Gongshan Family?"
Zhou Xi couldn’t help but ask.
Qinchuan however was unconcerned and said, "It’s best if he finds the Gongshan Family within the agreed time frame, otherwise, the end awaiting him won’t be very pleasant."
Zhou Xi and Ye Xuanji both felt a chill in their hearts from the calm words of Qinchuan, sensing an inexplicable coldness.
The time Qinchuan and the hunchbacked old man had agreed upon was seven days.
The three of them found a fine inn in Tianqing City to stay temporarily.
"The Evil Warding Sword Technique emphasizes an invincible advance and even contains an air of sweeping away all evil spirits of the Three Realms with one sword. To comprehend this method, one must be broad-minded, maintain a spirit of uprightness and righteousness, and harbor a will to annihilate evil, only then can one grasp the true essence of the Evil Warding Sword Technique."
In the past few days, Qinchuan occasionally provided guidance on Zhou Xi’s cultivation.
As his maid, Zhou Xi’s cultivation level was indeed lower compared to others who had followed Qinchuan before.
Fortunately, her aptitude was fairly decent and her Dao Heart quite firm, making her somewhat worthy of cultivation.
Under Qinchuan’s guidance, Zhou Xi’s growth was quite swift, and she finally broke through the threshold of the Evil Warding Sword Technique, achieving proficiency.
"Zzzap!"
In a secluded courtyard, sharp sword light shot forth, imbued with powerful will. That one slash seemed as if it could shatter the demons and heretics of the Three Realms and Six Paths.
"Not bad for your practice, but you’re still some distance away from comprehending the Sword Intent. You must constantly communicate with the Evil Warding Divine Sword, which will aid in your understanding of the Evil Warding Sword Intent."
Qinchuan casually commented before leisurely sipping his tea and suddenly raising his eyebrows in realization, looking into the distance. He then stood up and walked outside.
Zhou Xi and Ye Xuanji followed Qinchuan as they saw him rise.
"It seems the one with the Innate Taoist Body from the Ancient Kingdom of Great Yan has arrived, truly a destiny like a raging torrent. This Bai Xianzi is not simple," Qinchuan remarked, glancing towards the city gates of Tianqing City, lost in thought.
Ye Xuanji, with his Heavenly Mystery Divine Pupil, also began to feel some subtle sensations at this moment, his eyes filled with surprised speculation as he gazed towards the direction of the city gates.
"You felt it too?"
Qinchuan gave Ye Xuanji a glance and said with a light laugh, "The Heavenly Mystery Divine Pupil is truly sharp when observing Destiny. Just this ability alone is enough to let you thrive anywhere."
"You flatter me, my lord. Compared to you, I am but a slow learner,"
Ye Xuanji responded with a bitter smile and a shake of his head.
He had taken notice when Qinchuan looked toward the city gate with an unusual expression and only then did he look over in that direction, which led him to some awareness.
In comparison to Qinchuan’s instinctive reaction, he was clearly a step behind.
"My lord, what exactly are you talking about?"
Upon hearing their conversation, Zhou Xi was completely bewildered, not understanding at all what the two were discussing.
Qinchuan, however, paid her no heed and instead stared toward the city gate, murmuring in a low voice, "Such dense Destiny, indeed worthy of an Innate Taoist Body. But even for an Innate Taoist Body, this intensity of Destiny seems a bit excessive."
"This is the Destiny only one who bears Heavenly Mandate should possess!"
Qinchuan’s gaze shifted slightly.
Zhou Xi finally understood.
They were talking about the Innate Taoist Body from the eastern neighboring country.
Reflecting on Qinchuan’s murmured words, both Zhou Xi and Ye Xuanji’s expressions changed drastically, shocked, "Destiny of bearing a Heavenly Mandate? My lord, are you suggesting that the Innate Taoist Body from the eastern neighboring country possesses the fate of a Great Emperor and might potentially bear the Heavenly Mandate in the future?!"
Had anyone else made such a statement,
they would not have taken it seriously, perhaps even scoffing at it as nonsensical.
But since it was Qinchuan who spoke, the two who had been following him for some time and had witnessed his extraordinary capabilities couldn’t entertain thoughts of denial. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖕𝖚𝖇.𝖈𝔬𝔪
"Judging by Destiny, this Innate Taoist Body indeed has the fate of a Great Emperor, but this is only a prospect of becoming an emperor, not a certainty that they will indeed become one."
"One’s fate is predetermined at birth, yet the trajectory of one’s Destiny is not immutable,"
"A decision made today, a person met, an action taken, or even inaction, any of these can potentially alter the trajectory of your Destiny, where various causes lead to various effects."
Qinchuan let out a light chuckle and said, "But that being said, those who possess the fate of a Great Emperor certainly have a greater hope of becoming an emperor compared to others, that much is undeniable."
Zhou Xi and Ye Xuanji nodded upon hearing his words.
"My lord, can you tell me what my fate is?"
Zhou Xi asked curiously, batting her beautiful big eyes.
"You?"
Qinchuan glanced at her and replied offhandedly, "Maid’s fate."
"..."
Zhou Xi was so angered upon hearing this that she nearly passed out; she really shouldn’t have asked this guy that question!
"Don’t be angry. Being a maid for this young master is your good fortune. Even that Innate Taoist Body from the eastern country, despite having the fate of a Great Emperor, wouldn’t necessarily be accepted by me as a maid."
"With this in mind, your fate is much stronger than hers," Qinchuan said indifferently, glancing at the sullen Zhou Xi.
Zhou Xi immediately rolled her eyes upon hearing this – as if someone of Great Emperor’s fate would ever want to be his maid!
"The Immortal Lady Bai has entered the city!"
Just then, there was a sudden commotion in the street; someone shouted out loud, and instantly countless gazes were drawn there.
Afterward, the crowd surged, and everyone rushed toward the city gate.
