"Looking for that little monk?"
Hearing Yang Zhen's words, the Shameless Cat was taken aback, then said gloatingly, "Kid, don't blame me for not warning you, that little monk looks young, but he's actually more than ten years older than you, and his cultivation level is even higher than yours."
Yang Zhen said nonchalantly, "Cultivation levels are something that Buddhist and Devil Cultivator in the Western Region generally have higher cultivation levels than cultivators from other places. It's not a big deal. You just need to come with me."
The Shameless Cat exclaimed, "You know that?"
Yang Zhen said Sage of Saunter, "Otherwise, what do you think I've been doing in the teahouse all this time? Just idly working as a teahouse waiter?"
"Weren't you contemplating life?" the Shameless Cat asked, looking on in surprise.
Yang Zhen chuckled and said, "Understanding life is secondary. Let me teach you a lesson: where do you think is the best place to gather information?"
"Of course it's the Thousand Seekings Sect. They... they're just digging for grass. Why would I even think of the Thousand Seekings Sect?"
What exactly is the Thousand Seekings Sect?
Now it was Yang Zhen's turn to be puzzled. He hadn't expected that such a thing existed in the Cultivation World. Judging from the name, it was an organization similar to the "All-Knowing Scholar of the Martial World."
The Shameless Cat shook its head and said, "Never mind, pretend I didn't say anything. The Thousand Seekings Sect is indeed as you think, an all-knowing sect. If you want to find out information, as long as you pay a price, there's almost no information you can't get."
"There's such an organization?" Yang Zhen was taken aback and asked with a surprised expression.
"That's ancient history. We don't even know if the Thousand Seekings Sect still has any descendants. Let's not talk about that. You just asked where's the best place to gather information?"
Yang Zhen put aside his doubts, pointed around, and said, "Of course, this is it. If you want to gather information, come to a place like this. You'll definitely hear whatever you want to hear. Alright, let's not delay, let's set off quickly. Something big is about to happen in North Isle."
"Something big is about to happen?" The Shameless Cat, always eager for chaos, loved hearing such talk. Hearing this, he asked with great interest, "Is something about to happen?"
As Yang Zhen walked, he said to the Shameless Cat in a serious tone, "This time we're just here to watch the fun, not to cause trouble. Remember, don't cause trouble."
"I don't believe you for a second!" The Shameless Cat curled its lip, then asked excitedly, "What's going to happen? You're making such a big deal out of it. Let me make it clear beforehand, I don't bother with small commotion!"
Yang Zhen glanced sideways at the Shameless Cat and said, "Have you ever heard of the Third Holy Maiden of Jade Pool in the Western Region?"
"Huh? What did you say?" The Shameless Cat jumped three feet high, looking at Yang Zhen with disbelief, and asked, "You just mentioned Jade Pool? The Third Holy Maiden?"
Yang Zhen didn't expect the Shameless Cat to react so strongly. In fact, the information he had heard was only fragmented. He knew about the Third Holy Maiden, the Jade Pool of the Western Region, and that no force in the entire North Isle or even the entire Western Region dared to easily provoke this existence. However, he had no idea how much influence the so-called Third Holy Maiden of the Jade Pool actually had.
Seeing the Shameless Cat's reaction, Yang Zhen's heart stirred, and he asked in surprise, "Have you heard of the Third Holy Maiden of Jade Pool in the Western Region?"
"Damn it, I've not only heard of him, but why did you provoke that guy?" the Shameless Cat asked, sounding like he'd been badly hurt by the Third Holy Maiden of Jade Pool in the Western Region.
Under Yang Zhen's repeated questioning, the Shameless Cat finally told the truth. It didn't know what was going on, but after hearing the words "Third Holy Maiden of Jade Pool in the Western Region," it suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of urgency, a feeling it had never had before.
Yang Zhen laughed heartily, looking at the Shameless Cat whose face had turned green, and said with a look of disdain, "Didn't find it, huh? I didn't expect that you Shameless Cat, would have someone you're so wary of."
Upon hearing this, the Shameless Cat flew into a rage, glaring at Yang Zhen and saying, "Fear? What a joke! There's no one in this world I fear. I simply don't want to provoke that crazy woman, the Third Holy Maiden Jade Pool. No, the current Third Holy Maiden Third Holy Maiden of Jade Pool shouldn't be the same as the former. But women from that godforsaken place, Jade Pool, are all incredibly strange. Why are you bringing them up? Could this commotion in North Isle be related to that woman?"
Yang Zhen nodded and said, "It's related, very related. The Third Holy Maiden of Jade Pool have widely distributed invitations, seeking several talented young people favored by Heaven. Although I don't know the reason, the entire North Isle is bustling with Sage of Saunter. If I'm not mistaken, that young monk should be Yun La, and he's here representing Jade Pool."
"A monk representing Jade Pool?" The Shameless Cat's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, muttering to himself in utter bewilderment, "This is insane! This whole world has gone mad! Even a sacred place like Jade Pool is getting involved in worldly affairs."
Yang Zhen chuckled and said, "What do you care about sacred grounds? Since we are born into this world, we must be involved in worldly affairs. How can we achieve transcendence through a few words from a few people?"
The Shameless Cat cackled, looking at Yang Zhen with a mocking expression, and said, "Kid, you actually dare to say such enlightened things, but do you know what will happen to you if the people of Jade Pool hear these words?"
Yang Zhen scoffed, "What could possibly happen to him?"
The Shameless Cat clicked its tongue in amazement and said seriously, "Kid, if you offend the Five Clans of North Isle, you might be able to find a job as a waiter in a teahouse for a few days. But if you offend the people of Jade Pool, there won't be a place in the entire Cultivation World where you can live in peace."
"Damn, that's amazing!" Yang Zhen was genuinely startled.
The Shameless Cat hesitated for a moment, then suddenly asked, "After saying so much, you still haven't told me what you're going to do at Jade Pool?"
Since the Third Holy Maiden of Jade Pool are looking for a few talented individuals favored by Heaven, and Yang Zhen certainly isn't going there for this honor, then he must be interested in Jade Pool.
The Shameless Cat looked at Yang Zhen with a puzzled expression, its face showing a mixture of surprise and curiosity.
Yang Zhen sighed and said, "Damn it, do you think this Sage of Saunter doesn't know that places like Jade Pool aren't places you can just enter and exit at will? It's just that this Sage of Saunter has found out that the Land of Seven Yin and Seven Yang is located in Jade Pool. If you want to revive Flirtatious Chicken, you have to enter Jade Pool. Tell me... if this Sage of Saunter doesn't take advantage of this opportunity, do you think I can just force my way in?"
The Shameless Cat was startled and said, "Kid, don't be reckless. Jade Pool is a place that these so-called Ancient Clan of North Isle can't compare to. All the inheritances of these Ancient Clan combined are not even a fraction of Jade Pool's. You should weigh their power yourself."
"So, to revive Flirtatious Chicken, you must enter Jade Pool; to enter Jade Pool, you must become Heaven-Favored Person'; and to become Heaven-Favored Person, you must meet Yun La. Do you understand now?"
The Shameless Cat nodded, climbed onto Yang Zhen's shoulder, patted Yang Zhen on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Kid, you need to work hard!"
Yang Zhen glared at the Shameless Cat and said, "If someone as talented as this 'Sage of Saunter' isn't considered Heaven-Favored Person, then you find Heaven-Favored Person Sage of Saunter for me to see?"
The Shameless Cat glanced at Yang Zhen and said, "Kid, it's not hard to find Heaven-Favored Person. That Yun La is one, and you... barely qualify as half."
Yang Zhen was taken aback and asked in surprise, "I'm only half Sage of Saunter? Damn, what kind of Heaven-Favored Person is this, so Niu Bi? By the way, does the little girl count?"
The Shameless Cat shook its head and said, "Whether it's the young girl or the Little Dao Addict, neither of them can be considered Heaven-Favored Person. It's just that they have a karmic relationship with you, and their fates have already been altered. Who can clearly see the various destinies of life?"
Yang Zhen was taken aback, genuinely surprised. He looked at the Shameless Cat with a strange expression, but his mind was filled with the image of Yun La, who smiled like a wise monk.
Are these Heaven-Favored Person really that Niu Bi?
