The Immortal Clan's Scions
"I'm Ximen Laijun. You must be Fellow Daoist Shi Yue!" Ximen Laijun's gaze settled on Shi Yue as he asked with a smile.
His mind was full of questions. When the Immortal Herb Palace had first been established, Shi Yue had been only at the Nascent Soul Realm. Later, when Immortal Grass Market Town was founded, Shi Yue had advanced to the Spirit Transmutation Realm. It had been only a few decades since then, yet Shi Yue had already reached the Void Refining Stage. Even in their Lineage, such a rate of cultivation was second to none—not even he could match it.
Taking into account the various rumors surrounding the Immortal Herb Palace, Ximen Laijun suspected that Shi Yue might be a mighty cultivator who had been reborn through Body Seizure. Otherwise, with Shi Yue's aptitude, his cultivation couldn't have advanced so quickly.
Perhaps he had simply relied on Spirit Herb pills to force his cultivation higher, but people who did that looked unsteady at a glance. Shi Yue showed no such signs at all.
"That's right. Fellow Daoist Ximen, I've heard your name for a long time, though today is the first time we've met." Shi Yue smiled, a hint of amusement on his face.
He suspected that Ximen Laijun was the one behind Lin Zhenshan. The Rare Spirit Herbs Lin Zhenshan had traded with him were beyond the means of an ordinary power. It was obvious that the Ximen Immortal Clan stood behind Lin Zhenshan. And since Shi Yue had ruled out the possibility that Lin Zhenshan was one of Ximen Guangyi's people, he could only be working for Ximen Laijun.
"What? Where did you hear of Fellow Daoist Ximen?" Situ Wu asked curiously.
Ximen Laijun had only started handling affairs in recent years.
