"So what does this Chang Li have to do with my strength?" Lin Xuankong asked in confusion.

Li Xiaohu showed a strange expression and said, "This Chang Li has recently become famous in Spiritual Crane Immortal City. His every move is naturally watched by countless people! I just went to gather information and found out that the only reason Chang Li came to this Fuyuan Immortal Inn is because of a woman staying here!"

Lin Xuankong frowned. "Is it because of Xiaoo Ying'Er?"

Li Xiaohu nodded. "It is said that Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er possesses the Profound Phoenix Strange Vein, allowing for rapid progress in her Cultivation. She has also mastered the Blood Bath Divine Skill, a technique exclusive to those with the Profound Phoenix Strange Vein. Consequently, she is a prominent candidate for the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's disciple recruitment ceremony, ranked eighteenth after comprehensive evaluations!

"Because of this, Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er is now very famous in Spiritual Crane Immortal City. Recently, countless young talents have flocked to the Fuyuan Immortal Inn, hoping to see her. However, all have been turned away by Profound Phoenix Celestial Sect Leader Hua and the female owner of the Fuyuan Immortal Inn!

"This Chang Li also wanted to meet Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er but, unfortunately, she refused to see him as well. Ever since Chang Li began his daily visits, his formidable reputation has deterred other pursuers of the Third Princess. They lost face and no longer dared to seek an audience with her!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaohu laughed. "What these people don't know is that Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er of the Great Xia Dynasty has long been infatuated with my foster father! The very Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er they desperately wish to see personally washes and feeds fruit to my foster father every day. Even this Chang Li is just deluding himself... This fact alone shows how amazing my foster father is!"

Han Lu and the others couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.

Lin Xuankong lightly tapped Little Hu's head. "You're always up to something strange!"

After saying that, he led the group towards the exquisitely decorated Fuyuan Inn.

Watching the youth in the distance, Lin Xuankong shook his head slightly. He initially thought this young Chang Li had a grudge against the Fuyuan Immortal Inn and was here to cause trouble... Who would have thought he was just a love-struck fool!

A moment later, the group stood before the tall entrance of the Fuyuan Immortal Inn.

By this time, the surrounding Cultivators, who were watching, naturally noticed this group. Instantly, many people began to murmur in low voices.

"Ha, the charm of Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er is indeed extraordinary; is this another one of her suitors?"

"Chang Li is here, and someone else dares to come over? Isn't he just asking to be humiliated? Xiaoo Ying'Er didn't even see Chang Li and gave him the cold shoulder; how could she give this person a second thought?"

"This guy looks unfamiliar; he must not be one of the recently famous young talents aiming for the disciple recruitment ceremony!"

"He looks quite handsome, but alas, with Xiaoo Ying'Er's high standards, she wouldn't be swayed by mere looks!"

"I heard that a few days ago, two First-Grade Earth Immortals invited Xiaoo Ying'Er to a banquet, and they were both rejected! This Xiaoo Ying'Er has such high standards that she doesn't even care for First-Grade Earth Immortals. How could she possibly care for ordinary people?"

"Indeed! Crossing the Immortal Tribulation is difficult. Even someone as talented as Chang Li cannot guarantee passing it to become an Earth Immortal. Yet, Xiaoo Ying'Er dares to turn down even a First-Grade Earth Immortal. Who knows why the Profound Phoenix Strange Vein is so highly sought after!"

Amidst the countless discussions of the Cultivators, Chang Li, standing on the head of the Earth Dragon, also noticed Lin Xuankong and his group.

However, he merely glanced at them before withdrawing his gaze. Then, he instructed his attendants to deliver some gifts to the Fuyuan Immortal Inn's gatekeeper, explaining his wish to invite Xiaoo Ying'Er to his birthday banquet. After this, he stood silently on the dragon's head, waiting quietly.

Upon seeing the gifts Chang Li had sent, the countless Cultivators around were instantly astounded, then started discussing once more.

"Three hundred Profound Truth Jades? Chang Li sent three hundred Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jades just to invite Xiaoo Ying'Er to his birthday banquet? Did I see that right? Is it really three hundred Profound Truth Jades? Chang Li is so extravagant!"

"It's more than just three hundred Profound Truth Jades; the most precious among those gifts is that Gathering Essence Grass seed!"

"Gathering Essence Grass seed? Are you sure that's a Gathering Essence Grass seed?"

"There's no mistake because I was fortunate enough to see a drawing of it in my master's notes! It is said that Gathering Essence Grass can gather the energy of the earth's veins, forming Geng Metal and Thick Earth Spirit Veins. If this Gathering Essence Grass seed is planted in a Secret Realm, it can form Thick Earth and Geng Metal Spirit Veins in five hundred years. With this Gathering Essence Grass seed and a Celestial Demon Bone, one can have an unending supply of spiritual objects, enough to support several thousand elite Disciples of a Sect!"

"The Gathering Essence Grass seed has been auctioned at the Spiritual Crane Immortal City Auction House for as much as two thousand Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jades! Just to invite a beautiful woman to his birthday banquet, he sent such a precious gift? He truly lives up to being the most talented Prince of the Xianluo Dynasty!"

"It seems that this time, Xiaoo Ying'Er will be moved no matter what!"

Listening to the murmurs of the surrounding Cultivators, a cold smile appeared on Chang Li's lips, standing on the head of the Earth Dragon.

The Gathering Essence Grass seed is indeed extremely precious, as each plant can only produce a single seed. By giving away this seed, it's akin to gifting Xiaoo Ying'Er a Thick Earth and Geng Metal Spirit Vein, and all he asked in return was for her to attend his birthday banquet three days later! With such an extravagant gift, Xiaoo Ying'Er should not refuse! As for people thinking he is just after Xiaoo Ying'Er's beauty and Talent, they truly underestimate him! They have no idea about the real wonders of Xiaoo Ying'Er's Profound Phoenix Strange Vein! It was only through ancient secret texts, preserved by his family for hundreds of thousands of years, that he learned of the Profound Phoenix Strange Vein's astonishing ability to help Cultivators break through Realms! The Earth Immortals of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect probably don't know this secret. Otherwise, the opportunity to pursue Xiaoo Ying'Er would not have fallen to him; a powerful Earth Immortal would likely have already taken her away!

While Chang Li was silently contemplating, Lin Xuankong was also surprised to see him presenting such a precious gift.

Lin Xuankong had amassed a fortune equivalent to a nation's wealth through the Heavy Water Spiritual Objects from the Ba Mountain Secret Realm, acquiring numerous Demon Flesh and resources. He knew the value of Five Elements Spiritual Objects better than many. If the Gathering Essence Grass seed genuinely had the effects those Cultivators mentioned, it would indeed be worth a thousand Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jades, and its value would far exceed that! If this Gathering Essence Grass seed were planted in his Secret Realm, coupled with the incredibly marvelous Plant Spirit Liquid from the Plant Spirit Bottle, wouldn't it form Mineral Spiritual Veins in just five years? It was clear that this seed's value in his hands would be immeasurable! Such a valuable gift would indeed touch anyone's heart! One could not help but wonder if Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er would be moved? After all, although Chang Li came under the guise of pursuing Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er, he did not make any demands; he merely wished for the Third Princess to attend his birthday banquet!

With this thought, Lin Xuankong was in no hurry to take out his Communication Jade, nor was he in a rush to contact Lii Xiaolan and Xiaoo Ying'Er. He quietly stood to the side of the Fuyuan Immortal Inn, looking towards its grand entrance.
