Chu Lian's eyes lit up, unable to hide her delight, “Is Immortal really telling the truth?”
“Of course, it's true.”
Lin Qingluo smiled gently, with an undeniable charisma.
“I'm willing.”
Chu Lian was overjoyed, her eyes sparkling.
“Since you agree, it's settled.”
Lin Qingluo's smile was warm, “You go and tell the steward elder, and once I have the identity token prepared, we'll leave.”
“Alright, I'll go tell them right away.”
Chu Lian happily skipped away, taking small quick steps, disappearing like a wisp of smoke.
“Hehe.”
Little Kingfisher stood on the roof and listened to the conversation, amused, teasing, “This girl has such a joyful character, it's quite pleasing to see.”
“Mmm.”
Lin Qingluo agreed in her heart, “It won't be lonely with her as a companion on the road.”

Not long after Chu Lian left, the attendant in charge of handling the identity tokens, holding a thick notebook, appeared out of nowhere.
Perhaps because he had witnessed the Lightning Tribulation, the attendant's attitude was very respectful, and he carefully registered Lin Qingluo's background.
With a spell, her appearance and name were imprinted onto a dark black token.
Lin Qingluo looked at the token floating between them, her gaze momentarily dazed, as if she had returned to that moment five thousand years ago when she had first ascended to the Spirit Realm in her past life.
Back then, she had spent a thousand years of bitter cultivation in the Human Realm before breaking through the barrier and ascending to the Spirit Realm.
On the night she received her Spirit Realm identity token, she was filled with anticipation for the future, nerves, and various emotions, unable to sleep a wink.
“Immortal, your token is ready.”
The attendant's clear voice pulled her thoughts back, “With this token, you can enter any sect for cultivation, purchase land, shops, and mansions, and travel unhindered across the various continents of the Spirit Realm.”
“Thank you.”
Lin Qingluo took the token, thanked the attendant politely, and stowed it away safely.
“There's no need for thanks, Immortal, this is what we should do.”
The attendant's face was full of smiles, and after exchanging a few polite words, he disappeared into thin air.

Chu Lian's leave of absence went smoothly. The steward elder was an amiable old man who didn't interfere and calculated her half-month's salary before happily letting her go.
An hour later, she returned her servant's attire, changed back into her own clothes, pocketed the 250 spirit stones, and happily ran outside.
“Are you ready to go?”
Lin Qingluo waited for her outside the Reception Hall, deliberately asking, “Don't you need to say goodbye to your family?”
“No need.”
Chu Lian looked slightly awkward, playing with her hair and explaining with a sheepish smile, “I ran away from home. My parents despised my impure Spirit Roots and said I have no future, so they wanted me to marry an old man as his concubine.”
“I didn't agree, so I took all the two hundred spirit stones I had and ran away. I traveled a long way alone before reaching the Immortal Ascension Platform.”
“Your parents are so cruel?”
Lin Qingluo couldn't believe it, “Marrying an old man as a concubine? How is that different from selling your daughter?”
“This kind of thing happens all the time in the Spirit Realm.”
There was a brief moment of darkness in Chu Lian's eyes before she smiled self-mockingly, “Those old monsters that have been cultivating for many years, they love to marry young girls like me, with low mana, to bear them children.”
“That's because powerful female cultivators have difficulty getting pregnant, and those in the Soul-Wandering Stage or above have almost no chance of conceiving.”
“Cough cough.”
Lin Qingluo listened to her straightforward words and coughed awkwardly, her ears reddening slightly.
“Oh my, Immortal, please don't be offended.”
Chu Lian heard the cough and suddenly realized, slapping her own mouth in annoyance and pleading with a bitter face, “I forgot that you're also in the Soul-Wandering Stage, I wasn't deliberately targeting you.”
