Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 61: Entering
"So, the other party wants to join forces with us and enter that mansion?"

Liu Xiaowen had explained the whole story clearly, which made Xu Xuan ponder and feel a little doubtful.

"This jade pendant is connected to the immortal stele, so don't miss it."

When Liu Xiaowen first saw the jade pendant, Xu Xuan felt it in his heart, and the image of the jade pendant appeared in his mind. The clear energy flowed in his qi sea, and a door opened on the white jade palace.

Tiantuo informed him of this change at the first opportunity, but Xu Xuan's consciousness entered the sea of qi, and he could not get close to the heavenly palace no matter what. He was always some distance away and could only look at it from afar.

"Perhaps it's the jade pendant that's missing."

Xu Xuan was determined to get this thing, and now it was just a matter of how to act, whether to exchange it or fight for it directly.

According to Xiao Wen's information, the precious elixirs in the mansion are also precious. They can increase cultivation and speed up foundation building. I am afraid that they will attract many people.

"We still don't know Fan Huayan's background, so we can't act rashly. We need to wait until we enter the mansion and see if there's a chance we can succeed."

"According to what they said, you have been cleansed by the Fuquan. Perhaps this is your chance."

With Xu Xuan's order, the matter was finalized.

"You should start by working on breaking through to the second level of Qi Refining. Leave the magical tools to your Senior Brother Qiyun. Prepare them early. As he said, we will meet in a month."

Liu Xiaowen agreed to this matter and temporarily withdrew.

"This matter involves a great deal of consequences. I'm afraid everyone will get the news soon and rush to grab it like a swarm of bees."

The jade pendant is valuable, but Xu Xuan is also very concerned about the precious elixir in the mansion. If he can shorten the time of hard training and build the foundation early, he will be able to truly protect himself.

"I need to discuss this matter with my senior brothers and junior sisters. I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to go alone."

Now that there is news about the gift of Shangling Pill, this precious pill that can speed up the building of the foundation, the original noble families will definitely come to fight for it. I wonder how many people will flock to the mansion by then.

If it was just to take the elixir, Xu Xuan would still be somewhat confident, but designing the jade pendant and having to guard against Fan Huayan's master was a bit too much.

"Now that I have mastered the fourth-grade secret technique of [Heavenly Drum] and have even achieved a small degree of mastery in [Falling Dragon Technique], I am naturally not afraid of fighting."

As for the problem of being exposed, Xu Xuan had considered that if he used these secret techniques with his current identity, he could only ask Tiantuo to help cover it up and change his form.

On the other hand, the "Zelei Lulong Sutra" has been lost for a long time. Even Huo Ya does not know the secret techniques contained in it, let alone families like Chi Yunnan.

He has now sent two secret letters, one to the Liu family and one to the Kongjian Sect, in order to inquire about the truth of this matter and see if he can get more information.

a few days later.

Xu Xuan's secret letter received a response, but both families are in some difficulties now and it may be difficult for them to travel together.

The Liu family received a reply letter from Liu Qiuci, who first talked about this matter and said that he had received news, but had some unspeakable secrets and was afraid that he could not go with them, so he could only take care of them.

Qi Wen replied to the Kongjian Sect, saying that he intended to go, but his master was in seclusion, and several elders had their own thoughts. Someone from another immortal sect had also approached him early, wanting to go together.

"I'm afraid that people like Liu Baiyuan and Qi Wen, who have been tempered by the Fuquan, are now in great demand, and many immortals are looking for them."

Xu Xuan didn't want to make things difficult for others, he just wanted to ask in passing, mainly to verify the authenticity of the news.

Senior Brother Xi Wei came out of retreat and returned to Dangxia. Xu Xuan called Wen Sian, and the three of them gathered in Tianqing. He explained the whole story in detail, but he concealed the part about the jade pendant.

After hearing what Xu Xuan said, the two people sitting next to him changed their expressions and started to have some thoughts.

Wang Xiwei broke through the sixth level of Qi Refining and was full of vigor. He spoke first:

"This is an important matter. If this elixir can speed up the process of building a foundation, I must fight for it."

Wen Sian looked at Xu Xuan with some worry in his eyes and sighed:

"Foundation building is a matter of utmost importance. All sects and schools must be paying close attention to it and will definitely be vying for it. Not to mention that some independent cultivators may have gotten the news and are taking advantage of the situation."

"Brother, you still need to find someone to support you before you can attack with confidence. I just happened to have mastered that secret technique, so we can go together."

Xu Xuan pondered for a moment and continued:

"That's exactly what I was thinking. Counting Xiao Wen, he's about to break through to the second level of Qi Refining. Then the three of us will have the confidence to attack."

Wang Xiwei on the side wanted to say something, but Xu Xuan smiled and said:
"Brother, you should just focus on refining your weapons and looking after the mountain gate. There is no need to engage in a battle."

Seeing this, Wang Xiwei said no more. After all, fighting was not his strong point.

"Speaking of which, how is the progress of the Woniuye town construction?"

It was a rare occasion for the three of them to get together, so Xu Xuan asked about the matters in the sect. Building a town was a big deal, which concerned the livelihood of the mortals under his rule. Many outer disciples were born as local mortals, and they were paying close attention to this matter.

"It's still being planned. I've already taken some of my disciples to look at it and roughly mark out the area. I'm going to assign people, build roads, and set up formations."

Xu Xuan heard this and said softly:

"Although Woniuye is spacious, it can accommodate quite a few people. The situation in Dongmi is not peaceful, and many people have left their homes. We need to settle them down properly and avoid any trouble."

"They are just minor matters. I have asked Chi Yu to look after them. Nothing will go wrong."

Wang Xiwei spoke of this senior disciple with a certain amount of pride, and laughed. After a while, Wen Si'an excused himself, saying he wanted to continue his retreat, consolidating his cultivation in preparation for the battle.

Only Wang Xiwei and Xu Xuan were left on the peak, and a gentle breeze blew past them.

Seeing this, Xu Xuan remembered something, took out a tin ball, and gently activated it, causing it to transform into a small sky-blue sword, which was the magic weapon he had obtained from Kong Kong'er last time.

"Brother, can you take a look at this magical instrument? I got it by chance. I wonder what magic it holds?"

Xu Xuan looked at Wang Xiwei. His senior brother had been refining weapons for many years, so perhaps he could see some clues.

He originally wanted to give this magic sword to his disciple, but since there was no suitable person, it remained idle.

He tried to refine it, but it always felt sluggish when used, not as dexterous as in Kong Kong'er's hands.

When Wang Xiwei saw his junior brother take out a new magical weapon, he immediately became interested. He took the sword ball and observed it carefully.

After watching for a long time, Wang Xiwei gently activated his magic power, and the small sky-blue sword retracted again, turning into a tin ball with flashing array patterns on it.

Wang Xiwei saw something mysterious and explained:

"I don't know what material this magical weapon is made of, but it seems to be quite spiritual, suitable for controlling with spiritual consciousness to break through the air and injure people, but it is not easy to wield it personally and perform sword moves.

"How should I use it? I've been refining it according to the previous method, but it always feels a bit sluggish."

Xu Xuan expressed his doubts. Wang Xiwei pondered for a moment and replied:

"This magical weapon probably needs to be controlled more by spiritual consciousness, supplemented by mana. Junior brother probably thought of refining it with mana, which would easily deplete the spiritual power of the magical weapon itself."

"It can be nurtured in the sea of qi, wrapped in spiritual consciousness, immersed in it day and night, and cultivated spirituality, and then it can be used."

Hearing this, Xu Xuan thought of the [Art of Raising Spirits and Gathering Weapons]. This secret art was used to nourish the spirituality of magical weapons, which was just right.

Wang Xiwei chatted with Xu Xuan for a while and then took his leave. He had just made a breakthrough and his cultivation still needed to be consolidated.

Xu Xuan returned to the hall and began to refine the sword pill.

The name of this flying sword is unknown. When Xu Xuan saw the words "Youquan" on it when it turned into a tin ball, he called it the Youquan Sword.

"In one month, I'll see if I can refine this flying sword. It will be a great way to do it."

Xu Xuan calmed down and waited quietly for the agreed time.
-
In Duwang City, the lantern festival has ended these days, and most of the wandering cultivators and mortals have left.

A carriage drove out of the city. It was a luxurious BMW, looking quite luxurious.

The coachman was none other than Fan Huayan's maid, Xianghe. She looked a little nervous at the moment, with a look of "keep away from strangers" on her pretty face.

Inside the car, the two sat opposite each other, looking at each other in silence.

Fan Huayan had changed into a goose yellow silk dress and looked worried.

In front of her sat a beautiful woman with skin as white as cream. She was wearing a emerald green gown and a plain gauze. She had a smile on her face and asked:

"Hua Yan has confirmed Liu Xiaowen's identity. The head of the Dachi Temple seems to have quite a good cultivation base. We might gain something from this."

Fan Huayan looked at his master, feeling a little uneasy, and sighed:
"Although I made a vow with Liu Xiaowen, who knows his character? I don't know if other problems will arise."

The woman also had some doubts, and said quietly:

"What can we do now? You and I are both refugees. Now that you have learned the news, you must not let it go easily."

"I see that there are no powerful figures in the sects of this realm. I heard that there are only two people who have established their foundation, one is old and the other is self-proclaimed. I am not afraid."

Fan Huayan lifted the curtain and looked outside the carriage. Seeing the tourists laughing, she felt a little sad and whispered:

“I don’t know when I can return to my hometown and rebuild Changyun Gate.”

The woman beside him just sighed:

"How could it be easy? Our sect happened to be on the border of the Li Kingdom. Ten years ago, it fell into the hands of the Northern Liao. Lingshan was occupied by someone, and almost all of our sect members died, so only you and I escaped."

Fan Huayan spoke bitterly, saying:

"Why didn't the emperor just raise an army instead of letting Northern Liao invade? If the Emperor family was willing to issue a decree and order some immortals to come to help, how could this happen?"

The woman saw that the disciple was a little agitated and comforted him:
"Why bother saying this? The immortals from all over the world don't recognize the imperial court and have no concept of home and country. Sacrificing a few small sects to avoid fighting with Northern Liao is naturally a good deal."

"The Song family of Dali is a royal family, with a cave in heaven, so they have a way out. Even if the immortals don't contribute, they can't rely on the imperial court. Even if some mortals and minor cultivators suffer, they will be reduced to pariah status if they fall into the Liao Kingdom. Even if they are lucky enough to survive."

The light in Fan Huayan's eyes had faded again, becoming as deep as an ancient well, as if he had lost his soul. He muttered softly:
"I think the fate of the Li Kingdom is about to end. The Emperor of Northern Liao is very skillful, and all immortal cultivators obey his orders. The Great Li Kingdom of ancient Dian is flourishing, and a True Lord has attained enlightenment. The borders of the Li Kingdom are shrinking again and again. I'm afraid that a chaotic era is approaching."

The woman opposite held Fan Huayan's hand and looked straight at her, a little dazed, and said:
"These matters are not for you and me to consider. It doesn't matter who is in charge. Only when your cultivation is high will others value you."

The carriage and horses sped away into the distance.

　The progress will be accelerated later on, and the protagonist will quickly reach the ninth level of Qi Refining and then build the foundation.
