I Have an Omen System

'It's a shame. Old Ruan has probably been reincarnated by now.'

Finally, Qin Xuan's gaze fell upon a Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Talisman whose Spiritual Qi had already grown slightly dim.

After infusing it with his Divine Sense, Ye Qingxuan's cool and pleasant voice slowly flowed into Qin Xuan's ears.

"Miss Xuan'Er, it has been two years since we parted. How have you been? Ever since we left You Province, I often think of the days we fought side by side..."

"I have good news. My master has agreed to officially transfer the trial spot for the Little Cloud Peak Celestial Realm, which was originally meant for Du Leishi, to you."

"The Celestial Realm will open soon. I hope you can arrive early. I'll be waiting. Qingxuan."

At the end of the message, the words "I'll be waiting" seemed especially soft, carrying a hint of something left unsaid.

Qin Xuan was quite surprised.

He hadn't expected that Ye Qingxuan's Sound Transmission Talisman could actually penetrate the multiple blockades and fly all the way from the Cyan Cloud Sect to the Holy Sect.

'This is outrageous. It can't be the Venerable fishing for me again, can it?!'

Qin Xuan immediately burned the Magic Talisman, pretending he had never seen it.

...

Meanwhile, at the Cyan Cloud Sect's Liuyun Peak.

The sea of clouds was ethereal, and the cries of Immortal Cranes echoed clearly.

Dressed in white, Ye Qingxuan stood leaning against a railing, caressing a cyan Jade Talisman in her hand—one identical to Qin Xuan's.

She gazed at the distant horizon, her eyes vacant and her mind lost in thought.

"Senior Sister Qingxuan!"

A young girl in a daffodil-yellow dress came bouncing to her side.

The girl in the yellow dress wore her hair in double spiral buns. Her eyes were lively, and her face was pretty and bright.

She was Xiao Min'Er, Princess Yunjiang, daughter of Daqian's Prince Li, Xiao Dinghai.

Seeing Ye Qingxuan in such a state, Xiao Min'Er pouted and said in exasperation,

"Senior Sister, why are you spacing out here again? Fiddling with that Jade Talisman in your hand... you're thinking about that Loose Cultivator, what's-her-name, Qin Xuan'Er, again, aren't you?"

Ye Qingxuan snapped back to her senses, hurriedly putting away the Jade Talisman. She avoided Xiao Min'Er's gaze and said,

"Don't be ridiculous. I was just contemplating a cultivation matter."

"Liar!" Xiao Min'Er leaned closer, her big eyes blinking brightly.

"I heard everything. For that Qin Xuan'Er, you took the spot from the Du Family, and you even sent a Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Talisman a year ago."

"It's been so long, and she hasn't even replied! If you ask me, a Loose Cultivator with a background like that probably ran into some trouble and is long dead by now!"

"Why do you have to be so distraught over her all day?"

"Min'Er!"

Ye Qingxuan's brow furrowed, and she said with rare anger, "Miss Xuan'Er saved my life! How can you make such wild guesses? She's probably just been held up by something."

Seeing Ye Qingxuan defend Xuan'Er so fiercely, Xiao Min'Er's expression shifted, and she puffed out her cheeks in displeasure.

"Fine, fine, I won't say any more. Anyway, Senior Sister, you're just too kind-hearted and easily fooled."

"The way I see it, she's just after our Cyan Cloud Sect's resources and is taking advantage of your kindness..."

"Enough."

Ye Qingxuan cut her off sharply. She turned to gaze into the depths of the sea of clouds, her face clouding over with worry as Xiao Min'Er's words sent ripples through her heart.

'A year... with no reply...'

'Miss Xuan'Er, where in the world are you?'

'Are you safe?'

...

Meanwhile, in the Blood Demon Sword Sect's Huai Heavy Industry Company.

Qin Xuan had just finished dealing with a backlog of work when Zhu Cangzhen showed up again!

Perhaps because he had successfully refined the Hundred-Patch Blood Robe, Zhu Cangzhen was beaming and full of vigor. Even his aura was considerably stronger than it had been a year ago.

The moment he saw Zhu Cangzhen, Qin Xuan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

'This old coot... he's stuck to me like glue, a ghost that just won't leave!'

On the surface, however, Qin Xuan still showed a modicum of respect. The man was, after all, an Early-stage Golden Core True Monarch.

"Master Chu, we meet again. What a coincidence. I just came out of seclusion and you've already come to find me. Is there another Magical Treasure to be refined?"

"You jest, Your Highness. I came to express my thanks."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Zhu Cangzhen gave an awkward smile, then cupped his hands and took a delicate jade bottle from his sleeve.

"Thanks to the help of the men Your Highness sent, I was fortunate enough to end up with some extra medicinal essence while refining the Blood Robe. So, I went ahead and refined a batch of Blood Marrow Life Pills as a small token of my gratitude. Please, Director, do not refuse."

Upon seeing the pills inside the jade bottle, Qin Xuan's eyelids twitched violently, and his breathing grew heavy.

Even from a distance, he could feel the immense Blood Qi and Vitality they contained.

It was a Tier Four Low-Grade Spirit Medicine, the Blood Marrow Life Pill!

This pill was a sacred healing remedy and incredibly valuable.

It even had a decent nourishing effect on certain hidden injuries to the very foundation of a Golden Core True Monarch's Flesh Body.

However, the refining method was extremely complicated, and most importantly, it required a Purple Mansion Peak cultivator as one of the major medicinal materials.

'That's right! This is the Ninth-Grade Opportunity that Lao Ruan was turned into!'

"Master Chu, you're too kind. I couldn't possibly accept this..."

Despite his words, Qin Xuan hastily took the jade bottle, a grin stretching from ear to ear.

"If you ever need anything, Master Chu, don't hesitate to ask. The Huai Heavy Industry Company will do everything in its power to assist you."

Zhu Cangzhen stroked his beard and chuckled. "You speak too gravely, Director. The value of our friendship is in our mutual understanding. If I obtain more fine materials in the future, I will certainly fire up the furnace for you again."

After delivering the pills, Zhu Cangzhen actually left.

Qin Xuan clicked his tongue in amazement.

He checked the pills repeatedly, confirming there were no hidden marks or traps inside, which only made him more astonished.

'What in the world is this Zhu Cangzhen planning?'
