One person established a clan

Chapter 13 Guidance from Both Sides
"It's getting late, I'll take my leave now."

Su Cheng took the brocade bundle, and felt the coolness of the spiritual material in his palm.

After systematic inspection, the quality of Qingling Fruit and Shuixinsha are both good. Now only the last spiritual medicine is missing, and then we can try to refine Diqingdan.

"Though the copper-skinned dates are not expensive, they are still hard to find in the countryside."

The girl put her hands behind her back and jumped on the reflection of the cold moon, her tasseled skirt sweeping across the mossy stone steps.

Facing Su Cheng's gaze, she raised a sly smile and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will help you find out."

"Thanks."

"We're working together, so why be so formal?" The girl joked, glancing at Shi Xuan behind her.

After holding back for a long time, she finally couldn't resist her curiosity: "Sister, why are you so quiet?"

"She's not good with people."

Su Cheng said something casually and pulled Shi Xuan out of the courtyard.

Under the dim light of the lantern, the young girl followed him out and said suddenly, "I don't know where you learned your skills, but it's extremely rare to have such a kind heart."

Su Cheng paused slightly and chuckled, "Is this considered 'kindness'?"

"In today's world, ordinary creatures are no different from pigs and dogs. It's so rare to find someone who can speak up for livestock."

The girl narrowed her eyes slightly, and a hint of solemnity appeared in her delicate voice. "Young Master, you must be more careful on your path of cultivation and do not lose your original intention."

Su Cheng looked at her deeply, clasped his fists and said, "Take care."

The girl burst out laughing: "Young Master, you are so serious, it's quite interesting~"

Su Cheng: “.”

This woman's frivolous personality is a bit difficult to deal with.

Seeing Su Cheng turn around and leave, the girl cried out "Ouch" and hurriedly took two steps after him: "Don't be angry, sir. My name is Wen Qimeng, please remember it well!"

She gradually slowed down her pace, watching the two figures disappear into the night, a thoughtful look on her face.

The old woman arrived just in time, lantern in hand, her smile kind. "Are you done talking?"

"He was in a hurry to leave, and I couldn't stop him."

Wen Qimeng played with her hair and said meaningfully, "Besides, the woman next to this man is too mysterious. I can't see through her details at all."

"I remember that besides this young man, there was also a young knight at that time."

"A set of ordinary martial arts is too weak."

Wen Qimeng spread her hands and said, "That official position is really dispensable."

The old woman shook her head and sighed, "I don't understand the rules of you strange monks."

"Grandma, don't worry about it."

Wen Qimeng smiled sweetly, put her hands on the old woman's shoulders and went back to the courtyard. "Why don't you go to bed early? I want to eat the baked buns you made tomorrow morning~"

"Oh, I wish I had a little granddaughter like you"

"Wait until your children return, and you will naturally have it in the future~"

The night was as dark as ink, and the sound of the copper bells outside the inn was frozen in the wind.

Su Cheng went back to the house and washed up casually, then placed the wet cloth on the edge of the basin.

Niulanshan

He unfolded the map by candlelight, and the ink-painted mountain textures flickered in the halo of light.

The fingertips hovered over the dark area, where the shape of the mountain was steep and precipitous - it was exactly the location of the spiritual vein that Wen Qimeng had mentioned.

However, due to the poor soil quality and difficulty in cultivation, no one built a village here, and it has been deserted for many years.

This is a good deal for me, as I don't have to worry about anything when absorbing spiritual veins.

"Tomorrow morning, you can buy a fast horse and go there to try."

Su Cheng was making plans when he caught a glimpse of Shi Xuan beside the bed and a flash of inspiration appeared on his head.

He thought the remnant soul was about to appear again, but a spirit butterfly fluttered quietly and flew up, shaking off bits of snow.

"."

Can this jade hairpin really turn into a butterfly?

Su Cheng was quite surprised to see the spirit butterfly flapping its wings and landing next to his hand, gleaming vividly.

"I already know what happened today."

Shi Xuan's cold voice pierced his mind. "The Heart-Rotting Grass is both a poison and a medicine, and the Huanxing Sect has a large supply. The fact that they could commit such a despicable act proves what you said before was true."

Su Cheng rubbed his brows and asked: "You are in the jade hairpin, and you can also know everything that happens outside?"

"This Spirit Butterfly Hairpin is quite mysterious and can help me observe the outside world." Shi Xuan murmured, "If you want to destroy the Huanxing Sect, I can help you."

Su Cheng couldn't help but raise his eyelids: "This is your sect, you..."

"I'm just a figurehead after all, and I don't have much affection for this sect." Shi Xuan said in a slightly colder tone, "Besides, based on what those people did, they deserved to die."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "Why did you inquire about the location of the spiritual vein tonight?"

"I have my own uses."

"Let me remind you first, the Huanxing Sect has been entrenched here for many years. The reason they haven't explored that spiritual vein is because it contains an evil poison that ordinary cultivators shouldn't easily get involved with."

There was a hint of warning in Shi Xuan's cold words.

Su Cheng understood and chuckled, "Thank you for the reminder. I will be more careful."

Seeing that he didn't care at all, Shi Xuan wanted to persuade him again, but when he thought about what he saw and heard today, he couldn't help but fall silent.

——This person is so strange that I have never seen him before.

He was clearly just entering the Xuan realm last night, but in the morning his aura suddenly soared, and the shackles of his realm were broken, and he became the middle stage of entering the Xuan realm.

Moreover, the richness of spiritual energy and the solid foundation were impeccable, which made her feel astonished.

What's more, there is the wonderful mysterious technique that he suddenly figured out, which can be said to be simple and powerful.

Thinking carefully, this person has a strange look about him, and he doesn't look like someone from Jingyang Town.
"correct."

Su Cheng suddenly spoke, giving her a subtle look. "Since you know what's going on outside, then when I help you change your clothes..."

The jade butterfly trembled suddenly, flapped its wings violently and flew up, hitting his face hard several times.

"You frivolous little thief, how dare you bring this up!"

Listening to Shi Xuan's angry growl in his mind, Su Cheng could only laugh dryly.

Fortunately, I was not clumsy, otherwise the situation would have been even more embarrassing.

After a moment of commotion, Shi Xuan landed back on the table in a rage: "In short, the principle of not touching men and women—"

"How should I change clothes from now on?"

"."

"Your body is quite impressive, untainted by dust and stains, but these mortal clothes don't have that ability."

As Su Chengzhen began to reason, Shi Xuan felt even more grief-stricken and angry. He had been a transcendent and noble being not long ago, but in the blink of an eye, he had ended up like this. It was truly embarrassing.

But thinking about the several elixirs that the other party had been searching for today, all of which were ingredients for the Diqing Dan, she fell silent again.

Besides, I have seen it this morning and even last night.
Shi Xuan hesitated for a long time, but finally softened his heart and managed to utter a barely audible sentence: "You can change clothes, but you are not allowed to touch me."

"Okay." Su Cheng agreed generously and put the map away. "Next, do you want to talk to me about your business?"

Shi Xuan was silent for a moment, then shook Yudie's body: "I'm sorry to tell you, we are now..."

"I understand. I won't ask any more questions for now." Su Cheng had no intention of delving into the matter.

This woman's origins were mysterious, and the circumstances behind her were likely extremely thorny. Given the shallow nature of their relationship, there was no need to delve into her details and cause trouble.

"Then tell me how many masters there are in the Huanxing Sect and what their strengths are, so I can prepare."

Shi Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "The Huanxing Sect is now led by the Acting Sect Master, who has reached the Intermediate Level of Heart Profound Cultivation. The remaining five elders are all at the Elementary Level of Heart Profound Cultivation, and the difference between them is only a hair's breadth."

"What's the difference between the so-called Heart Mysterious Realm and the Entering Mysterious Realm?"

"The difference is huge." Shi Xuan's tone became serious: "Entering the Xuan realm is still a mortal foundation. Even if the Qi flows through the meridians, it is ultimately trapped in the cage of flesh and blood.

Xin Xuan has transcended the ordinary realm, condensing his spiritual energy into a core within his heart, and his spiritual blood is flowing like a torrent, a true transformation."

"understood."

Su Cheng seemed to be thinking about something. He immediately took off his outer robe, shoes and socks, turned off the lights and went to bed.

Shi Xuan felt a little strange when he saw him fall asleep, but he didn't say much. He just thought that he understood the gap between them, and flew back to the hairpin to nourish his remaining soul.

[Practice room open]

When the room was quiet, Su Cheng closed his eyes and concentrated, and his mind suddenly became clear.

"."

He stepped on the ripples in the cloud mirror and silently watched the ripples appearing in the void.

Six feet away, spiritual energy quickly condensed into a human form, and surging pressure instantly rushed towards him.

"Elder Liu, I'm sorry to bother you to stay up all night with me."

Su Cheng's eyes were cold and focused, and he formed a seal with his fingers. A silver-white cyclone wrapped around his knuckles and extended to his elbows, like a dragon hovering in the air.

"Let's see how many tricks you have at your Xinxuan realm."
