Chapter 1999  Long Lived Desire

Lin Mu also got a sense of how long lived the Saintess was upon hearing the Ever Spring Mistress' words.

'If they have known each other for a Hundred and Fifty Thousand years, then how long has the Saintess lived?' Lin Mu didn't know what the answer was, but knew it wasn't a small number.

A hundred and fifty thousand years was also a lifespan that most immortals would have never seen. Forget that, they might not even live for fifty thousand years in the first place.

Only Transcendent Immortals might have the chance of living for a hundred thousand years or it would be those cultivators who have a dual cultivated body and Qi. But such cultivators were rarer than Transcendent Immortals too. Not many could survive for that long after all.

Even for Transcendent Immortals, it meant surviving multiple Transcendent Tribulations. The more of them they underwent, the harder it was for them to survive. As such, the longer an immortal lived, the more they had suffered and the greater power they held.

And Immortal living for a hundred and fifty thousand years was already a miracle. Or perhaps even a curse.

Most wouldn't want to be an immortal for that long as they would much rather become celestials. If one was an immortal after all that time, it either meant they had some fortune, but it wasn't enough for them to become a celestial.

Being an immortal for that long would be no less than torture. They would have to constantly live under the fear of the next tribulation and also frantically search for a method to become a celestial.

Only those with great mental strength would be able to endure all that.

And yet, there were these two celestials who could casually talk about a time that long as if they were two old friends meeting after a few years.

"I normally wouldn't contact you, but I have something for you." The Saintess spoke. "Something you've been looking for." She added.

"Oh?" The Saintess' words were enough to arouse the interest of the Ever Spring Mistress, as her light pink brows rose. Her cherry like lips curled into a brighter smile as she got closer to the mirror.

"Don't tell me yet. Let me guess first…" The Ever Spring Mistress said while placing a finger under her lips. "Hmm… Is it the Dark Cinnabar Rouge? Or the Refreshing Six Remake Carmelia Wine? No wait! Is it the Great Plume Peacock fan?!" Her tone got excited the more she spoke.

The Saintess' expression became a bit stiff under the veil, hidden from everyone.

Lin Mu, on the other hand tried to figure out what all these things were. 'Dark Cinnabar Rogue? As in makeup? And then wine of some kind and… a fan? Maybe a Celestial Treasure or some kind?' Lin Mu did his best to guess, but that was all he could do.

None of these names were something he had heard before. And the Ever Spring Mistress didn't stop just there. She spouted off several more items and words, none of which Lin Mu understood. But before he could continue guessing, the Saintess decided to put a stop to the rambling of the pink haired girl.

"Enough… It is something greater than all of those things." The Saintess said, causing an expression of shock to appear on the Ever Spring Mistress' face.

"Is… is it…" The Ever Spring Mistress stammered, unable to have coherence in her speech.

"Yes… a suitable disciple." The Saintess confirmed, making the Ever Spring Mistress gasp.

"REALLY!?" The Ever Spring Mistress exclaimed.

"Indeed. It's a young girl with the Plum Heaven Bloodline." The Saintess replied. "You've been looking for someone with an inherent affinity to the Spring Dao to inherit your techniques, haven't you?" She asked.

"OF COURSE!" The Ever Spring Mistress shouted. "WHERE IS SHE!?" She seemed unable to wait.

"She's here with me at Rust Sky World in the Western Immortal Realm." The Saintess answered.

"I'm coming." The Ever Spring Mistress said with impatience. "Don't barge in, the court won't like it… plus I'm not here 'officially'." The Saintess warned.

"Don't worry, I still have two uses of the 'pass' left." The Ever Spring Mistress chuckled. "Your vacation will be safe." She said before disappearing.

The hexagonal mirror went dark again and the runes on it dimmed down as well. It then shrank back to its original size and became a transparent mirror.

~shua~

The Saintess stored it away and turned around to see Lin Mu with a complex expression.

"Will this be fine Saintess?" Lin Mu said, showing some doubt on his face.

The doubt was a bit surprising to the Saintess, as she could somewhat tell it was due to their talk earlier.

"What do you mean?" The Saintess questioned.

"You asking the Ever Spring Mistress to come over? I don't know how things work between Celestials, but asking them to come down to an Immortal world must not be easy, right?" Lin Mu replied. "Will it cost you anything? I don't want you to lose out because of a matter that I interfered in." He added.

'You foolish boy…' The Saintess chuckled in her mind. "It won't cost me anything." She shook her head.

"It won't?" Lin Mu raised his brows.

"No… on the contrary, it is actually beneficial." The Saintess said, surprising Lin Mu. "The Ever Spring Mistress has been looking for a disciple for a long time now. She had searched many worlds and even held great meets to recruit cultivators. And yet, none of them suited her needs." She explained.

"And now that there is Meihua with us, that means…" Lin Mu started to understand.

"It now means the Ever Spring Mistress owes me a favor. Finding a suitable heir for her is a great debt, that she'll owe for a long time." The Saintess said, a slight smile appearing under her veil.

It now occurred to Lin Mu, that the Saintess was a celestial too, a sly one. There was no way she would be losing out on a deal like this.
