Old Reverend Beiyuan and Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing started to lift off the ground and they had lifted Ji Yuan and Xu Yifei too with their profound force as they sped away quickly like a shooting meteor.
Ji Yuan muttered, "This is truly flying fast…"
Then he asked Old Reverend Beiyuan, "Erm master, do you happen to have a Divine Philosopher Stone?"
Old Reverend Beiyuan frowned, "Of course I do have one."
All of a sudden, an idea struck Ji Yuan and he grinned. "I've changed my mind about seeing the Great Beyond Goddess. Why don't you give me your Divine Philosopher Stone and I will get out of this place? Isn't this a win-win situation for both of us? In this way, you won't get punished because of me and I won't get punished as well. Hahaha…"
Old Reverend Beiyuan said coldly, "I will get a heavier punishment if I go against the wishes of my great mistress. So you can forget about this. You have only yourself to blame for being too stupid to come to the Great Beyond."
Ji Yuan: …
Xu Yifei: …
Anyang, Aura, Little Yui: …
Aura was crying in Ji Yuan's soul sea; Aura doesn't want to die, Huhuhu… Aura doesn't want to die, Huhuhu…
Anyang sighed heavily: My lord, you shouldn't have picked that spirit flower…
Ji Yuan: …
Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing said to Ji Yuan, "Our great mistress has never seen you before. Therefore, she must be curious to see what you are like. I must remind you to be totally humble and respectful in front of our great mistress. And don't you dare to be angry in front of our great mistress."
Ji Yuan muttered bitterly, "Even if I have ten lives, I won't dare to get angry with the Great Beyond Goddess…"
Old Reverend Beiyuan interrupted him, "You've better! Also, don't get us into trouble and tank the troubles all by yourself."
Ji Yuan: …
Very soon, they had landed between the several snowy mountains and within the mountains, there was a huge field of blue flowers and a small white pavilion.
Old Reverend Beiyuan said to Ji Yuan and Xu Yifei, "We are here."
Old Reverend Beiyuan and Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing took care to descend slowly as not to disturb the field of blue spirit flowers that were in this place as these spirit blue flowers were the Great Beyond Goddess' favorites.
Ji Yuan could see that there was a beautiful looking veiled maiden in long blue hair that was sitting in the pavilion.
Although he could not see her face clearly as there was a shroud of light that was masking her features but he had caught a glimpse of Dream Mist before and he knows that the Great Beyond Goddess was really a very beautiful and alluring maiden.
Cultivation heroes in cultivation stories never kneel and always have backbones that can defy all laws and protocols; they won't kneel even if they see someone powerful and somehow they won't get punished for not kneeling.
When Ji Yuan saw the Great Beyond Goddess, he did the unthinkable and he was hastily kneeling instantly when he had landed. "Grand Great Mistress! Your humble grand protégé Ji Yuan is here to pay my respectful to you!"
He was thinking about bootlicking the Great Beyond Goddess so that he could have an easier time to obtain the Divine Philosopher Stone.
Bootlicking was a strategy that never fails to work, right?
When Xu Yifei saw that Ji Yuan had kneeled down, she followed suit and said respectfully, "Your protégé Xu Yifei is here to pay my respects to great mistress."
The veiled maiden with long blue hair and blue robe said tenderly, "In this place, you don't have to kneel in front of me."
Then she pointed at the seats at the pavilion, "Please be seated first."
Ji Yuan could not see her expressions so he did not know whether his bootlicking was successful or not.
Soon, Ji Yuan, Xu Yifei, Old Reverend Beiyuan and Grand Holy Saintess Qi Yuexing were all seated in a circular position around the Great Beyond Goddess.
The Great Beyond Goddess took a meaningful look at Ji Yuan as she said tenderly, "So, you are Ji Yuan and you want to obtain the Divine Philosopher Stone from me?"
Ji Yuan awkwardly said, "That is my original intention."
The Great Beyond Goddess asked him slowly, "Your original intention?"
Ji Yuan laughed weakly, "You see. I've changed my mind about it. I didn't know that my master has one too. So I thought of asking him for it instead. Hahaha…"
Old Reverend Beiyuan quickly said with a look of panic, "I didn't say that I want to give him one."
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
The Great Beyond Goddess seemingly smiled, "So you are not here to obtain the Divine Philosopher Stone from me then. You may leave now."
Ji Yuan: …
He quickly said weakly, "Erm, I am actually here to obtain the Divine Philosopher Stone from you, Hahaha…"
The Great Beyond Goddess looked intently at Ji Yuan before saying, "Is that so? I can't give it to you for free and there must be an equivalent exchange for that."
Ji Yuan weakly said, "Of course, of course. I can do anything for you if you are to give me the Divine Philosopher Stone."
He was thinking: You know, I don't mind giving my body to you if you think it is valuable enough…
Anyang, Aura: …
Anyang reminded Ji Yuan: You've better keep this dirty thought in your heart or else you will be dead in the next instant.
Ji Yuan: …
He murmured: Then I trade you away with the Great Beyond Goddess for the Divine Philosopher Stone.
Anyang: …
The Great Beyond Goddess answered Ji Yuan, "Is that so? You are willing to make an equivalent exchange for it? What if I ask you to forget about Xia Jiajia forever? Will you then still be willing to make such an exchange with me?"
