The Profound Senior is Truly Unfathomable

"You already know?" Xia Huang's expression was astonished. How did Xia Yan know all of this?

"Ning Jie came to see me..."

"What!" Xia Huang was greatly surprised. Ning Jie had actually come to see Xia Yan?

"Yes, he came to see me, and then he was scared away..."

"Scared away?" Xia Huang's face looked odd. What was Xia Yan talking about? As a senior disciple of the Seven Stars Sect, Ning Jie was scared away?

"Yes, Father Emperor," Xia Yan nodded and recounted Ning Jie's visit.

"Is it true?" Xia Huang couldn't help but ask. There was such an unimaginable senior expert in Qing Shan City?

"Father Emperor, I'll take you to meet this senior expert, and then you'll know," Xia Yan smiled. No matter how much she said, it wouldn't compare to Xia Huang seeing it with his own eyes.

"Alright, if there is indeed such a senior expert, I'll be completely reassured," Xia Huang nodded and followed Xia Yan out of Tai Hua Sect.

"The Profound Abyss Realm!?" After leaving Tai Hua Sect, Xia Yan flew through the air with Xia Huang. When Xia Huang felt the fluctuations in Xia Yan's aura, he was instantly filled with shock.

The Profound Abyss Realm, the pinnacle of power in the Eastern Region. He was only in the Life Wheel Realm, which was a difference of two major realms from the Profound Abyss Realm. Xia Yan had entered the Profound Abyss Realm at such an early stage?

"Thanks to that senior expert, Yan'er was able to reach the Profound Abyss Realm so early," Xia Yan said with a smile.

Xia Huang's expression was peculiar. Was there really such an unimaginable senior expert in Qing Shan City? He remembered clearly that before Xia Yan came to Tai Hua Sect, she was only in the Forge Spirit Realm. Now she was in the Profound Abyss Realm. The senior expert must be incredibly powerful.

In a short time, they arrived at Qing Shan City, descended from the sky, and walked into the city.

This was Xia Yan's respect for Li Jiudao.

"Father Emperor, we're here. Take a look at this 'Dao' character," Xia Yan said, pointing to the signboard of Li Jiudao's shop with the character '道' (Dao).

Xia Huang followed Xia Yan's finger and was instantly astonished. The Dao essence contained within the character '道' was like an endless ocean. He felt tiny in comparison, and the Dao he cultivated was insignificant, like a speck of dust.

Xia Yan led Xia Huang into the shop, and a overwhelming sense of Dao essence rushed over them. Xia Huang felt like he had entered a celestial paradise, completely overwhelmed by the experience.

"Xia Yan is here, perfect! Join me for a game of chess," Li Jiudao said when he heard movement in the shop. Besides Xia Yan, no one else visited his shop so early in the morning.

"Sure!" Xia Yan cheerfully walked into the courtyard with Xia Huang.

Is this the senior expert everyone is talking about? Xia Huang looked at Li Jiudao, his expression strange. Apart from his handsome appearance, Li Jiudao seemed quite ordinary, without a trace of spiritual energy.

"Today, you've brought someone along, I see?" Li Jiudao put down the chessboard and saw another person beside Xia Yan.

"This is my Father Emperor."

"I see, it's Uncle then. No wonder you two look somewhat alike," Li Jiudao said with a smile. "I've heard from the little lady here that Uncle is a great talent, so I hope Uncle forgives my impromptu visit."

Xia Huang respected Li Jiudao very much and replied, "Although I can't see anything unusual about Senior, I dare not be impolite. Please don't call me 'senior'; 'Jiudao' will do."

"Hehe, listen to what Senior said," Xia Yan giggled and said to Xia Huang, "Listen to Senior."

She became less reserved after spending more time with Li Jiudao. If it were in the past, she would never dare to let Xia Huang address him as 'Jiudao,' as it would be a great disrespect to such a senior expert.

"Alright," Xia Huang nodded. He had been unsure about how to proceed, but hearing Xia Yan's words put his mind at ease.

"Oh, Senior, have you neglected your flowers for a long time? The leaves on these plants are all drooping," Xia Yan remarked as she noticed the flowers and plants on both sides of the courtyard.

"It's been a while since I tended to them..." Li Jiudao glanced at the flowers and plants on the sides. They did appear wilted, with dry soil indicating they lacked water. These were recently transplanted from the mountains, and he hadn't taken good care of them. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been in such a state. His expertise in horticulture was extraordinary; he could even revive withered plants. Such wilting shouldn't have happened.

"Ah, blame it on Yan'er, always dragging me into the Qing Shan hunting trips. I forgot all about these flowers in the courtyard," Li Jiudao thought to himself.

Fortunately, he had noticed it now. If it had been any later, he wouldn't have known how to salvage the newly transplanted flowers, as they couldn't afford to lack water.

"Let's go check on the potted plants in the house later. They are my carefully crafted pieces, and nothing can happen to them," Li Jiudao remembered the potted plants inside.

He used to cultivate potted plants and never bothered planting anything in the courtyard. However, after encountering some beautiful flowers in the mountains and running out of flowerpots at home, he decided to transplant these flowers into the courtyard.

"I'll go fetch water to water the flowers, Senior," Xia Yan said eagerly.

"No need to trouble yourself. That old man, Weng, who came with you earlier, gave me something called 'Taiyi True Water.' It's perfect for watering the plants," Li Jiudao recalled the little pool Weng Wuyou had given him, claiming it contained Taiyi True Water, and even a drop of it could compare to a lake.

Weng Wuyou had emphasized how incredible Taiyi True Water was, but Li Jiudao hadn't paid much attention at the time. He only remembered that it was excellent for watering the plants. It didn't seem useful to him as an ordinary person.

"Oh, it's useless to me, but it might be useful to Xia Yan. Should I give it to her?" Li Jiudao thought to himself. This was something meant for cultivators, and Xia Yan was one, so perhaps it would be useful to her.

"Never mind, I probably shouldn't give it to her. It's likely not a valuable item. Why else would it be given to me, an ordinary person? I better not give it to her and save myself from embarrassment," Li Jiudao thought again.

He recalled how Weng Wuyou had praised the water for watering plants, and he considered that, being an ordinary person, it was unlikely that Weng Wuyou would give him something valuable. He believed that Taiyi True Water wasn't particularly precious for cultivators.

Taiyi True Water... for watering plants!?

Xia Huang was truly shocked. The senior expert in front of him was truly unfathomable!
