Flying through the air is a symbol of a Golden Core Cultivator while hovering above a certain Spiritual Mountain is akin to standing outside someone else’s door, peering in.
With utmost politeness, Gu Wen returned the bow and said, "I am seeking a particular Qinghua Cake. I learned that only the Qinghua here can be used to make the cakes that date back eight hundred years."
The Golden Core Cultivator said, "I am but three hundred years old and have never heard of Qinghua Cake. This place is private territory, so I cannot allow fellow Daoists to explore at will. Please forgive me."
"What’s with all the dilly-dallying? Move aside and let me handle this. Who acts so courteous toward their juniors like some old ancestor?"
Chi Yu Zi pushed past Gu Wen and flung a token into the air, resplendent with gold and red; its fiery red characters gleamed.
The Golden Core Cultivator’s face turned to one of astonishment. He looked at the token and then back at the short-haired girl barely taller than five and a half feet, his eyes flickering with disbelief, suspicion, and panic.
He then took out a black iron token from his chest, sending a beam of spirit light from it into Chi Yu Zi’s token.
In an instant, the Golden Core Cultivator respectfully bowed, saying, "Yun Cui, a true disciple of the Cui Temple, a branch of the Yuqing Sect, pays respects to Chi Venerable. Your esteemed presence caught me unaware; forgive my ignorance and alarm."
In his voice, you could not suppress the excitement.
