Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 364 Xuantian Alliance
Yunze Island, in a quiet room.

Chen Mu waved his hand lightly, and several bottles of Shan Ruo Dan appeared in front of him, emitting bursts of medicinal fragrance, fresh and natural.

As he relaxed, a hint of fatigue appeared on his face, but the smile in his eyes could not be concealed.

His realm has now reached the bottleneck of the middle stage. He roughly estimated it just now. If he can continue to swallow pills and practice step by step, he should be able to break through to the late stage in another three to four years.

Such a speed, not to mention the others were surprised, even Chen Mu himself was a little bit unimaginable and couldn't believe it...

In fact, the reason why it went so smoothly was because of the fourth-grade top-grade spiritual medicine Lycoris radiata. Although Chen Mu only took a few petals, a spiritual medicine of this grade was enough to save him most of the effort.

"This feeling is truly intoxicating..."

Chen Mu pursed his lips and smiled, then he gathered his energy and luck, swallowed a pill, and began to practice.

He has always been like this. As long as he has enough resources, the motivation to practice can erase everything.

……

Seven days later.

"Haw..."

In spring, Yunze Island is filled with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. In the gentle breeze, a graceful figure in a white dress can be vaguely seen.

"Ok?"

Chen Mu opened his eyes, stood up without hesitation and went out to greet him.

"Why is Senior Sister Gao here?"

The person who came was Gao Xiaoqing, who had just become my disciple.

Looking at the tall figure in front of him, like a green pine or cypress, Gao Xiaoqing's eyes averted and he said softly, "Senior Xu... Oh, no, Senior Brother Chen..."

After subconsciously calling out "Senior Xu", he suddenly realized and quickly changed his words.

Chen Mu smiled slightly and said, "Is the apprenticeship ceremony for Junior Sister Gao completed?"

Gao Xiaoqing nodded slightly with her gentle face and said, "Master has helped me choose the technique and explained it clearly."

However, he knew Chen Mu's real name, but for some reason he didn't mention it.

Since she didn't mention it, Chen Mu didn't explain further. He nodded and instructed, "Since you have accepted Master as your disciple, you must practice diligently... However, Master's realm is unfathomable, and he has been in seclusion for many years. I'm afraid he won't be able to teach you often."

Gao Xiaoqing's bright eyes lit up slightly beneath her delicate eyebrows as she asked, "I wonder if Senior Brother has any free time?"

But he wanted to ask Chen Mu for advice.

This is also reasonable, it is taught on behalf of the teacher.

It’s a pity that Zhuang Yan wants to go into seclusion to practice, and Chen Mu has the same idea.

"Hmm... I'm afraid I don't have much time. Junior Sister, why not go find Uncle Su? He and Master have always been good friends, so he will definitely be willing to teach you!"

"In that case, Junior Sister knows..."

Gao Xiaoqing's eyes flickered, and he lowered his head and responded.

In fact, Zhuang Yan had already told her about this arrangement, but she just wanted to give it a try to see if she could spend more time with Chen Mu...

Chen Mu nodded and smiled, and was about to lead her to sit in the pavilion, when he suddenly noticed that there was another light escaping from the island and gradually stopped.

The clouds and mist disappeared quietly, and the sound of laughter came rolling in.

"Junior Brother Chen, it's been a long time since we last met. I miss you so much!"

A flash of light disappeared in a flash and slowly stopped beside the two of them.

The moment the laughter sounded, Chen Mu recognized the identity of this person. He smiled and said, "I was wondering who it was. It turned out to be Senior Brother Xu. You finally came out of seclusion!"

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao's disciples arrived.

Xu Jingyang looked very excited, he must have just come out of retreat, and he was very happy to see his old friend: "I can't compare to you, it took me a lot of hard work!" He and Chen Mu were in retreat at the same time to practice Guishui Yinlei. Chen Mu reached perfection early and removed the restraint of the flower spirit of Manjushage, but it took him several years to finally succeed.

"Who is this?"

While sighing, he asked Gao Xiaoqing who was standing beside him.

Chen Mu smiled and introduced, "Master's new disciple, Gao Xiaoqing."

"It turned out to be Senior Sister Gao..."

Xu Jingyang's eyes lit up, and he quickly stood firm and regained some of his demeanor.

Gao Xiaoqing was slightly stunned and bowed under Chen Mu's guidance.

"So Senior Brother Chen... used this person's name."

She muttered to herself, glancing at Chen Mu with her beautiful eyes.

But Chen Mu coughed lightly and pretended to be calm...

Seeing this, she pursed her lips and chuckled, finding her senior brother even more interesting.

The three of them sat together, drinking spiritual tea and chatting for a while. Then Xu Jingyang changed his tone and whispered, "Junior Brother Chen, do you know about the Xuantian Alliance?"

"Xuantian Alliance?"

"Yes, the Xuantian Alliance of the Jiazi cycle!"

Hearing the unfamiliar words, Chen Mu frowned slightly and shook his head: "What is this?"

Xu Jingyang smiled complacently upon hearing this and slowly explained, "The Xuantian Alliance is actually a rule established by the Xuantian Mansion, the largest sect in Beiyuan."

Chen Mu frowned slightly, somewhat confused as to why Xu Jingyang suddenly brought up this matter.

Seeing this, Xu Jingyang didn't keep the secret and said immediately, "Xuantian Mansion has a secret place, which is an ancient battlefield in this world. There are countless inheritances, treasures, and spiritual materials in it!"

"And the Xuantian Alliance is a pact between the Xuantian Prefecture and their Beiyuan compatriots to explore the secret land together..."

Chen Mu's frown remained unchanged upon hearing this, and he became interested and asked, "If that's what you said, why didn't Xuantian Mansion keep the Mysterious Land to itself, but instead invited everyone to visit?"

"Junior brother, you may not know this, but the ancient battlefield at Xuantian Mansion... is extremely sinister! I suspect Xuantian Mansion invited all the cultivators to explore the path for them, in order to mitigate the losses of their own disciples."

"How come?"

"Needless to say? Although there are many treasures in the ancient battlefield, few people can bring them out safely. Most of them are seriously injured, or their blood and energy are greatly reduced, and they are missing limbs."

Speaking of this, Xu Jingyang sighed repeatedly and touched his arms and thighs.

Chen Mu didn't realize anything and said, "Exploring secret places is always a blessing and a curse. How can you call it evil?"

Xu Jingyang waved his hand without further explanation, and said, "Not long ago, Xuantian Mansion reopened its secret place, and the invitation to fellow Beiyuan Daoists to explore it has been distributed to all the sects in Beiyuan."

"I, Fushan Changhe, am no exception. From what my master said, I seem to have been chosen..."

Chen Mu's heart moved, and he congratulated him, "This is good news. In the secret realm, opportunities are everywhere. Maybe Senior Brother's golden elixir opportunity is among them!"

Xu Jingyang chuckled when he heard that, but before he could even laugh twice, he shook his head and sighed.

"If only it were that simple... The rumors keep mentioning strange things, and I'm a little scared."

Chen Mu shook his head and smiled. This was the first time he saw Xu Jingyang feeling fear.

"Brother, there's no need to worry. Since others can get over it, I believe it won't be too difficult for you!"

He soothed, picking up his teacup and taking a sip.

"I hope so!" Xu Jingyang paused for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Chen Mu: "Why don't you come with me, Junior Brother? This way we can take care of each other. Maybe we can take this opportunity to greatly improve our cultivation!"

Chen Mu was stunned. No wonder he said so much out of the blue. It turned out that he was trying to trick him into going with him...
