Chapter 1387 Someone Not Suspicious
"A competition for Blacksmithing and Alchemy? How interesting..."
Sitting down inside a small pavilion, an older woman who had just recently arrived inside the Falling Star City swallowed her cup of tea in a single gulp as she muttered this to herself while looking towards a group of elders from the Star Shattering Sect sitting a short distance away from her enjoying themselves while also chatting with each other about the upcoming competition for the sect's alchemist and blacksmithing elders.
The old woman didn't intend on listening in on their conversation and had just happened to overhear what they were talking about due to her rather impressive cultivation base that had reached the later stages of the Domain Lord Realm.
Even if she didn't intend on listening to this group of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, there wasn't really any way for her to avoid what they were saying, as the group wasn't really trying to hide what they were saying in the first place.
Of course, the fact that the subject of their conversation was something that interested her only made her far more interested, as she began listening in on more details regarding this competition...
"Transcendent Grade Spiritual Herbs or Metals? Guidance of a Grandmaster Realm Alchemist? Wha-what in the world!?"
And in the end, her mild interest in the Star Shattering Sect's competition soon turned into shock as she continued listening to the group of elders talking about the different prizes that had been announced for the competition.
However, out of everything, the most shocking thing she heard about was not the Transcendent Grade rewards, but instead the fact that there seemed to be a Grandmaster Realm Alchemist in the Star Shattering Sect.
Even if she did manage to sneak past these people, she doubted that a powerful sect like the Star Shattering Sect didn't have some kind of guardian formation in place to protect the sect. Especially considering that the rumored strongest experts in the Star Shattering Sect had reached the Soul Ascension Realm.
No matter how brave she might be, there was no way she felt confident in facing off against someone in the Soul Ascension Ream.
She knew full well from having seen Soul Ascension Realm cultivators fighting in the past, that she was nowhere near them in terms of strength.
On the other hand, her presence so close to the main entrance of the Star Shattering Sect might have already drawn the attention of the Soul Ascension Ream cultivator or cultivators inside the Star Shattering Sect.
Sneaking into the sect was not an option, so, if she wanted to learn more about the Star Shattering Sect, there was only one option left-
"Hello, I'm a wandering cultivator and I was wondering if it would be fine for me to get a chance to look around- Ah! Of course, I'm not suspicious or anything! I just wanted to see your sect because it's by far the strongest one I encountered so far considering that most of the powerful forces on the continent are kingdoms or empires. Finding a powerful sect like the Star Shattering Sect is near impossible!"
And that was to go right up to the two Nascent Soul Realm elders and the single Domain Lord Realm elder guarding the path into the sect and asking if she could take a look around, while doing her absolute best to not sound like someone suspicious.
"""..."""
Unfortunately for her, she didn't really succeed in not sounding suspicious, as all three of them looked over at her filled with suspicion.
"This... I mean, I just wanted to see what your sect looks like, its fine if I can't!" Feeling the suspicious gazes of the three elders of the Star Shattering Sect, the old wandering cultivator quickly did her best to defend herself. Feeling like she might get attacked if she didn't do so...
