East Sea.
In an ordinary sea region stood a nameless little island, desolate and barren, with nothing but jagged, grotesque rocks.
Several Gu Immortals drifted down from the high sky.
They were Fang Yuan, Flower Butterfly Immortal Maiden, Bee General, and the others.
"I never expected a trade fair like this to be held on such a deserted little island." Fang Yuan stepped onto the island, feeling rather moved.
"Brother Chu, you may not know this, but major trade fairs have always been like this. The location is decided only a few days beforehand, to prevent anyone from harboring ill intentions," a Gu Immortal beside Fang Yuan answered.
This male Gu Immortal was neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin. His appearance was above average, his facial features quite ordinary, save for his broad nostrils, which left a deep impression.
He was Miao Ming Shen, the famous Rank 7 Space Path Gu Immortal expert of the East Sea.
Judging by appearance alone, he was utterly unremarkable. But after Fang Yuan had interacted with him, though they had not spoken for long, he had sensed Miao Ming Shen's many exceptional qualities. He could not be underestimated.
After Fang Yuan, using Chu Ying's identity, rescued Flower Butterfly Immortal Maiden and Bee General, he learned of the trade fair.
Afterward, Fang Yuan followed Flower Butterfly Immortal Maiden and Bee General to meet Miao Ming Shen.
Without the slightest hesitation, Miao Ming Shen agreed to Fang Yuan's request to attend the trade fair. "Immortal friend, you saved me twice and showed Xiao Die and Xiao Feng life-saving grace. How could I refuse you over a mere trade fair? Please honor us with your presence!"
He was a Rank 7 Gu Immortal expert, while Chu Ying was a hidden cultivator with no notable reputation.
