Inside the cave dwelling, Li Yan met a handsome young Daoist who looked only twenty-one or twenty-two. His cultivation was quite respectable as well, already at the late Nascent Soul stage.
After the visitor identified himself, Li Yan learned that this young Daoist was actually Chongyangzi's youngest disciple.
Li Yan had heard a little about Chongyangzi's disciples. Chongyangzi had three disciples in total.
Chongyangzi himself had only entered the Void Refinement realm around a hundred years ago, so among his disciples, only the eldest had reached the early Spirit Transformation stage. The other two were both at the late Nascent Soul stage.
However, they were core disciples of the Pure Yang Hall. Naturally, they could not be mentioned in the same breath as Nascent Soul cultivators from third-rate sects.
After identifying himself, the young Daoist handed Li Yan a jade slip and told him that if he had any questions about its contents, he could explain them in detail.
Only then did Li Yan understand. Chongyangzi had not merely sent word; he had sent a disciple along with it, clearly with deeper intentions. It seemed some matters could not be written within the jade slip.
Yet the matters Li Yan had asked the other party to help with were the same as those he had asked Jia Fugui and the others about—only those two matters. There should have been no need for such complications.
When Li Yan heard that Chongyangzi had sent someone, he had guessed it was related to the matter he had entrusted to him. But after the young Daoist gave that reminder, Li Yan felt that perhaps his guess was wrong after all.

As Li Yan took the jade slip, he could not help thinking so, but his Divine Sense quickly sank
