Xiao Fei’s Black Dog cultivation technique was not convenient for him to practice. Among his acquaintances, only Patriarch Howling Moon was suitable for cultivating it, so he casually gave him a copy.
He never expected that this would lead Patriarch Howling Moon to mistake him for an immortal from the upper realm.
“Senior! A while ago, an immortal descended from the upper realm. They should still be a guest on the Tianyuan Continent, perhaps someone you knew in the upper realm.”
“Oh! Is that so?”
Xiao Fei did not expect to gain unexpected information when he came to see Patriarch Howling Moon.
“Tell me about it!”
“It’s like this, three years ago, this senior suddenly appeared, seemingly searching for some treasure…”
Patriarch Howling Moon then recounted the entire incident to Xiao Fei in detail.
It turned out that on a certain day three years ago, a human expert suddenly fell from the sky.
He landed with a splat, face first, looking utterly miserable. His features were distorted, and even his own mother likely wouldn’t recognize him.
No one knew his identity, but he looked quite pathetic.
In the cultivation world, such a state rarely garnered sympathy; instead, one would be seen as easy prey. Several people had intended to take advantage of his vulnerability.
However, they did not expect that the seemingly half-dead individual was actually a peerless master. He killed a Nascent Soul stage cultivator with a single palm strike.
The cultivation world has a tradition of the younger generation’s troubles attracting their elders. The Void Refinement stage elder from the Nascent Soul cultivator’s family sought revenge.
Unexpectedly, the Void Refinement stage cultivator also couldn’t withstand a single move from him and was killed with a palm strike.
Then, an Integration stage cultivator went to seek revenge, and was also killed with a palm strike.
Only then did everyone realize that this was a master, and a peerless one at that!
Faced with an expert of this caliber, the cultivators of the entire Tianyuan Realm could no longer maintain their aloofness and flocked to pay homage!
Patriarch Howling Moon was no exception. He had also visited this legendary expert.
But that senior was not as approachable as Xiao Fei, who mingled with the masses. He appeared extremely aloof.
When Patriarch Howling Moon personally visited with gifts, wagging his tail, the senior merely grunted at him and left him aside, with no further interaction.
Thinking back, the current esteemed figure was much better. He possessed both strength and no airs, always so approachable.
Especially since this esteemed figure before him not only had high cultivation but also excellent judgment, having looked upon him with favor from their first meeting.
He was unaware of how nervous Xiao Fei had been when he impersonated an expert before him, constantly worried about being exposed and killed with a single palm strike.
To maintain that facade was the limit of his ability; anything beyond that entered his cognitive blind spot, making further pretense impossible.
Having not received recognition from that esteemed expert, Patriarch Howling Moon returned to the Southern Wilderness Continent to live his quiet life.
However, he had also learned through other channels that the expert was an immortal who had descended from the heavens.
It was just that his descent posture was a bit peculiar, likely a matter of personal preference.
This expert seemed to be searching for some treasure and had mobilized many human experts to scour the land.
Patriarch Howling Moon inwardly felt smug, thinking that the expert’s search for items and missing him would be his greatest loss.
“Little doggy! I have some matters that require your assistance. Are you willing?”
“This junior is honored to serve you, Senior. Please instruct me!”
Upon hearing that Xiao Fei had a task for him, Patriarch Howling Moon’s spirits immediately soared.
A sense of pride, of being valued by a senior expert, welled up within him.
“Good! Good! I truly did not misjudge you!”
Xiao Fei patted Patriarch Howling Moon’s shoulder, displaying a comforting expression befitting a superior.
“Go to Tianyuan City and find Huang Feifei. Give her this jade slip.”
As Xiao Fei spoke, he produced a jade slip and placed it into Patriarch Howling Moon’s dog paw.
“Do not reveal my identity to anyone on this trip. Continue to treat me as an ordinary cultivator, as you did before.”
“Understood, Junior. Senior prefers to keep a low profile, unlike some immortals who flaunt themselves everywhere.”
Patriarch Howling Moon immediately conjured many reasons for Xiao Fei, causing Xiao Fei to merely nod with feigned profundity.
Xiao Fei was naturally not a person who kept a low profile; he was simply guilty.
Especially after learning that the immortal who descended from the heavens was also seeking items, he immediately thought of the black dog and his own jade disc.
“In addition, I have some treasures here. Help me process them on the Tianyuan Continent or other continents and convert them all into spirit stones.”
As Xiao Fei spoke, he took out several storage bags and handed them all to Patriarch Howling Moon.
Patriarch Howling Moon’s spiritual sense swept over them, and he gasped in shock dozens of times.
He nearly fainted.
In his entire life, he had never seen so many treasures.
Within these bags alone were hundreds of ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, along with various top-grade and mid-grade elixirs.
Each item within was a rare treasure sufficient to cause people to fight to the death.
Yet, in these storage bags, these rare treasures were discarded as if they were mere trash.
“Senior, rest assured, this junior will handle everything perfectly for you.”
Patriarch Howling Moon bowed to Xiao Fei and patted his chest, guaranteeing his commitment.
After bidding farewell to Xiao Fei, he immediately flew towards the Tianyuan Continent.
Following Xiao Fei’s instructions, he first found Huang Feifei and handed her the jade slip.
After delivering the message, Patriarch Howling Moon began selling the treasures Xiao Fei had entrusted to him.
Inside the jade slip given to Huang Feifei was a message from Xiao Fei, stating that it was inconvenient for him to travel to the Tianyuan Continent at the moment and hoping she could go to the Southern Wilderness Continent to meet him.
Huang Feifei had not heard from Xiao Fei in a long time. Upon receiving the jade slip, she was excited all day.
As for the specifics of what Xiao Fei had said in the jade slip, those details were no longer important.
Then, she went to find Xiao Lan and informed her of Xiao Fei’s return, inviting Xiao Lan to accompany her to the Southern Wilderness Continent to see Xiao Fei.
Xiao Lan readily agreed.
Over the years, since Xiao Fei’s sudden departure, she had been searching for his whereabouts but had not even found a trace of him.
