Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 254 It doesn't cost any money, so just trust me

"In that case, I will respectfully obey your orders."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen did not refuse, but sat down across the square table with confidence.

His quick movements surprised Master Canye a little.

Facing the unfamiliar Yuanying Zhenjun with neither arrogance nor servility and with a calm demeanor is in itself not an easy task.

Many cultivators would feel nervous involuntarily even when seeing their own ancestors, let alone facing outsiders.

Therefore, Master Canye became more and more certain that Xiao Chen's background was not simple, which gave him the confidence to be so calm.

He reached out and picked up the teapot, pouring a cup directly: "My friend, you came at the perfect time. The tea has just been brewed."

"Try it while it's still warm. It won't taste good if it gets cold."

Xiao Chen's eyes swept across the light white buds floating in the cup, and a rich fragrance mixed with heat waves hit him in the face.

It doesn't matter, he is not afraid of the heat.

"Thank you, Master, for the tea!"

After saying a polite word, Xiao Chen picked up the white porcelain teacup and drank it all in one gulp. He immediately felt a stream of clear air rising from his abdomen and heading straight to his sea of ​​consciousness.

However, when passing the Shenting acupoint, the dormant star core in it trembled slightly.

He immediately absorbed the fresh air and expanded slightly.

Ok?
Xiao Chen was a little surprised. Since this was his first time tasting high-level spiritual tea, he should have gained some benefits.

But it was intercepted by the star core. What's going on?
Fortunately, he soon felt that familiar feeling of spiritual refinement again.

Under normal circumstances, the spiritual awareness detection range of an ordinary late Jindan cultivator is about ninety miles.

However, thanks to the baptism of starlight on Tianxing Island, two months ago, half a year after Xiao Chen obtained the star core.

The range of his spiritual awareness has increased from the original sixty miles to eighty miles.

After breaking through to the late Jindan stage last month, the total range of his spiritual awareness increased directly to a full one hundred miles.

Although it seems that the original gain of 20 miles has been reduced to 10 miles.

But you must know that the larger the range of spiritual awareness, the more difficult it is to grow.

Originally, after tempering the spiritual consciousness, the power in the star core had been exhausted and fell into dormancy two months ago.

I didn't expect that after absorbing that fresh energy, I seemed to be replenished again.

He began to temper Xiao Chen's spiritual consciousness again, and once again pushed his spiritual consciousness strength to grow slowly.

I really didn't expect that the star core could be recharged and used.

But if you think about it, it is normal. After all, back then, only the elites who were selected through layers of selection were qualified to be baptized by the starlight.

However, such an important matter was not mentioned in the inheritance jade slip by Tianxing Sect.

Xiao Chen was right this time, this was indeed an oversight.

Mainly for the disciples of Tianxing Sect, since they joined the inner sect, they have heard about the wonderful uses of star cores from other people many times, so there is no need to say more.

Even the Tianxing Sect's former enemies knew all about these things.

It is estimated that the person who left the inheritance jade slip on the spot did not expect that such common sense known to everyone would become an ancient secret today, a million years later.

Fortunately, Xiao Chen was lucky and discovered this by accident.

In this case, he also needs to consider collecting some spiritual objects in this area to continue to help charge the star core.

Of course, the importance of this must be ranked behind the formation of the baby.

I can only say that when you are collecting spiritual objects for forming infants, you can pay attention to it.

"My dear friend, do you like this tea?"

Master Canye asked gently, while carefully observing Xiao Chen's reaction.

If a Jindan cultivator drinks the fourth-level spiritual tea for the first time, he can gain certain benefits.

Specifically speaking of Yunya Qingye, since its function is to strengthen spiritual consciousness, generally Jindan cultivators need some time to adapt to the growth of spiritual consciousness after drinking it.

It would take an ordinary cultivator at least a quarter of an hour to recover.

Only cultivators with already very strong spiritual awareness, or those geniuses with extremely high qualifications, will have their recovery speed shortened.

Therefore, this can also serve as a way to test the situation.

And because such a temptation is also a benefit, it will not cause any resentment from the other party.

"The tea is rich in aroma and sweet in taste. It is indeed the best spiritual tea!"

Xiao Chen first praised the whole thing, and then went on to say in detail: "Especially after taking it in, there is a refreshing energy that nourishes the mind, and this junior has benefited a lot."

Pointing out specific advantages makes the exaggeration sound well-founded and convincing.

Upon hearing this, Master Canye's pupils shrank slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Especially when he noticed that Xiao Chen had a clear expression, and his words and actions were natural, and he didn't seem to be affected by the effect of the spiritual tea at all, he was even more surprised.

But how could it be that there is absolutely no impact?

After a moment's thought, Master Canye thought of two possibilities.

The first possibility is that Xiao Chen had already drunk Yunya Qingye before today.

And I drank it more than once.

Therefore, the effect of tea has been weakened to the point where it can be basically ignored for him, so he is not affected.

But the problem is that he invited everyone today on a whim.

The other party certainly didn't know that what he was preparing was Yunya Qingye, so he couldn't prepare in advance.

This only shows that the power behind Xiao Chen is very powerful.

He was usually supplied with countless kinds of fourth-grade spiritual tea, including Yunya Qingye.

Although such an approach is extremely extravagant, forces like the Feiye Chamber of Commerce cannot afford it.

Even Master Canye couldn't help but smack his lips in amazement just thinking about it.

But think about the auction just now, Xiao Chen spent money like water and didn't treat the spirit stones as money at all.

It seems that this possibility is not impossible.

Zhenjun Canye had heard before that due to the sparse population, the hidden Taoist sects took the high-investment elite route when training successors.

The second possibility is that Xiao Chen is actually a talented cultivator with extremely strong spiritual awareness.

That's why he was able to withstand the buff effect of Yunya Qingye and quickly regain his clarity of mind.

However, according to Master Canye's observation, Xiao Chen seemed to have returned to normal in less than a breath of time.

If this is true, it only means that the strength of his spiritual consciousness has reached an astonishing level.

Not only is he far superior to cultivators of the same level, he can even be compared to an early Nascent Soul cultivator who has just broken through.

Hiss~, thinking of this possibility, Master Canye was even more shocked.
This is fucking scary!

Wow, this wave of exploration seems to have uncovered something incredible.

Well, don't jump to conclusions yet.

Master Canye thought about it for a moment. Although the probability was not high, what if it was just some kind of misunderstanding?
He decided to temporarily change his conversation plan and add an extra test session.

With a turn of his eyes, he thought of a good idea.
.
"You may not know this, but I don't have any other hobbies except collecting ancient artifacts."

As Master Canye spoke, he reached out and took out a box from under the table.

Xiao Chen took a closer look and found that it was the Zichen Starlight Box that he had auctioned off before.

Great, your Chamber of Commerce has indeed arranged a shill!
He clearly remembered that at the auction, the Zichen Starlight Box was bought by a casual cultivator.

But now they reappeared here, which means they must be in the same group.

"Well, before you came, I had already carefully watched it."

True Lord Canye didn't know that Xiao Chen was already thinking about asking for help, so he said to himself, "Based on my inspection, this box seems to be a complete set?"

"Alas, seeing the prey makes me excited, so I want to find an answer."

"If you know anything, please help me solve this puzzle."

Of course, although he was asking about the box, the focus was actually on the origin of the box.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen immediately understood.

It turned out that he was the person who knew what the goods were that Kuang Ruihong mentioned, and he called himself up just for this box.

what!
You two are in the same group. The old man told me that the box is only worth 50,000 spirit stones. Is that a lie?

He glanced suspiciously at Master Canye who was drinking tea out of the corner of his eye.

However, in fact, True Lord Canye was also secretly paying attention to Xiao Chen, so he immediately caught this look.

He was originally conducting a test, and when he noticed the suspicion in Xiao Chen's eyes, he suddenly felt serious, thinking that his idea had been seen through.

Hiss~, are young people nowadays so powerful?

He had disguised himself so well, but he was still seen through by the other party on the spot?
"This box is indeed a set of twelve, corresponding to the twelve signs of the zodiac."

Xiao Chen carefully responded, "But I'm not usually very concerned about this aspect, so I don't know more about the situation."

He really didn't understand much about this, and he didn't know how to say more even if he wanted to.

But when these words fell into the ears of Master Canye, they had a lot of hidden meanings.

From his perspective, Xiao Chen first pointed out the number and symbolism of the boxes, explaining that he actually understood these things.

Then he deliberately said that he didn't care about these little things, saying that there were many such things at home and he didn't need to care about their origins.

Saying I don’t know at the end is actually a small counterattack.

The key point is the word "就" in front of this.

What I mean is that I can see that you are testing me.

I originally knew more about the situation, but because you were testing me, I didn't know anymore.

In addition, Master Canye also noticed that Xiao Chen maintained a neither humble nor arrogant attitude from beginning to end.

This shows that he is very confident, and it also indirectly reflects that he does have an extraordinary background and is not afraid of himself at all.

Actually, this is Su Li's fault.

Xiao Chen was originally in awe of Yuanying Zhenjun in his heart, but after spending a few months with Su Li, he was completely intimidated by her.

After all, Su Li doesn't have the airs of a True Lord at all in his daily life.

So before he knew it, he no longer had the same awe for the other Yuanying True Lords as he did at the beginning.

In addition, Xiao Chen also has the Night Blade as his life-saving trump card, so he naturally has the confidence when speaking.

The worst outcome is just running away.

As the saying goes, the first time is new, the second time is familiar. After coming to the Eastern Region, Xiao Chen has accumulated a lot of experience in running away.

"It's a complete set indeed. It seems my taste is pretty good, haha."

True Lord Canye laughed twice and changed the subject: "Since you have told me this news, I will also give you some news."

In fact, he now has two choices.

The two purposes were to give Xiao Chen a warning, make him realize his identity as Yuanying Zhenjun, and then call the people behind him to come out for negotiations.

Or, as they said at the beginning, they wouldn't discuss their identities. They could actively offer Xiao Chen some benefits, so that they would have a little more affection for each other in the future.

After thinking it over carefully, Master Canye decided to ease the relationship.

After all, according to his speculation, Xiao Chen's inheritance should be a family-style inheritance, not a sect-style tradition.

Therefore, it is not polite to criticize the other party's direct descendants, and it is easy to leave a bad impression on both parties.

Then, True Lord Canye smiled and said, "Someone discovered the disaster of Yin spirits at sea a few days ago."

"After investigation, it turns out that it's a sign that a new relic is about to be opened outside the Demon Subduing Sea in the southeast."

"It will probably be in five months, which doesn't conflict with the Cang Ran Secret Realm in two months."

"If you're interested, you can go and join in the fun."

Oh?
Xiao Chen was a little surprised. I just came here to have a cup of tea and could get free information?

Something is wrong, very wrong.

Why would Master Canye be so nice to me for no reason?

First he poured spiritual tea, then he delivered information, and his tone seemed to contain encouragement.

He was a little confused, but he still bowed and thanked her: "Thank you for your advice, Master."

True Lord Canye smiled and picked up the kettle to pour another cup of spiritual tea: "You are welcome, my friend. Have another sip of tea to moisten your throat."

"I had a great time chatting with you today. If you have other collections in the future, please bring them to me."

In fact, he originally wanted to ask more questions, but since he had been exposed halfway, it was not appropriate to continue today.

Otherwise it will appear too deliberate and easily arouse suspicion.

Especially when dealing with smart people, you must not act too hastily.

Xiao Chen understood the meaning of seeing him off, so he bowed and said goodbye: "I am very happy to be entertained by the True Lord today."

"If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely come to visit you again."

As he said this, he stood up and said goodbye, not forgetting to close the door of the compartment.

After coming out of Jubao Tower, Xiao Chen went straight back to the inn.

However, after taking a few steps, he saw many monks gathered together in front.

When he walked over and took a look, he found that it was a brand new notice, and it came from Chongzhen Temple.

The content was also very simple. It was the news that True Lord Zi Yang had been promoted to Nascent Soul and was preparing to hold the Nascent Soul Ceremony in Nan Ze Sea.

Interestingly, this notice refers to the promotion method of previous auctions.

The upper part introduces the time and place, while the lower part draws a simple map.

Judging from the map, the venue for this Nascent Soul Ceremony was not chosen at the mountain gate of Chongzhen Temple.

Instead, they chose Honghua Island on the border of Tingtao Sea and Nanze Sea, which is only about 100,000 miles away from Tinglang Island.

The time is also very close, just three days later.

Xiao Chen had learned about this Nascent Soul Ceremony in advance from the confiscated invitation letter, and was curious why the time was set so tight.

Now seeing this scene, I suddenly understand that this was done on purpose.

This large-scale auction was prepared for three years and attracted countless monks from the surrounding area.

In particular, independent cultivators from many places came here from far away.

By scheduling the Nascent Soul Ceremony at this time, Chongzhen Temple can easily attract these cultivators and indirectly increase its popularity.
.
Of course, if you need to give gifts to attend a ceremony, no one will rush to go.

Therefore, the notice specifically stated that guests were not required to bring any gifts.

Not only do you not need to bring gifts, there is also a free banquet.

At the end of the ceremony, there will be a segment where the True Lord preaches.

At that time, the newly promoted True Lord Zi Yang will personally share his cultivation process, as well as some of his insights into forming the elixir and the infant.

All casual cultivators are welcome to attend and listen, and other True Lords are also welcome to come and discuss the Dao together.

The reason why so many casual cultivators gathered here was because everyone was attracted by the final segment of the True Lord's sermon.

Which casual cultivator doesn’t want to hear the preaching of Yuanying Zhenjun?

Not only independent cultivators, but even disciples of sects cannot often see their own supreme elders, let alone share their cultivation insights.

Normally, there would be no such good things in dreams.

Although Xiao Chen heard it, many people still had doubts.

"If you ask me, Chongzhen Temple is definitely just a name, and they won't really share anything useful."

"Needless to say, there's no such thing as pie in the sky."

"All crows are black. If there is anything good, they will definitely hide it and won't tell us."

"That's right. It would probably be a wasted trip if we went there."

……

But no matter what everyone said, their feet seemed to have taken root, standing there looking at the notice, reluctant to leave.

Many people were still muttering.

"Since Chongzhen Temple has said so, it shouldn't damage its reputation."

"I think so too. Since so many of my fellow Taoists have seen this, could Chongzhen Temple really still be playing tricks on everyone?"

"That's Yuanying Zhenjun. Even if he says something trivial, it will be of great benefit to us."

"If what they say is true, it will be too late to regret if you miss it."

……

These words seemed to have magic power, going straight into everyone's ears.

Even Xiao Chen was somewhat tempted. If True Lord Zi Yang was really willing to share some insights into forming a baby, he also wanted to go to the scene to listen clearly.

No matter how much others say, or whether they are holding back, what if it is useful?
Besides, they don’t need to give gifts.

How does the saying go - it's free anyway, so just believe it.

I took a closer look at the map and noted the approximate location of Honghua Island.

Xiao Chen turned around and walked out of the crowd, returning to the courtyard of the inn.

After entering the shielding formation, he began to think about Master Canye's intentions and his next plan of action.

First of all, as the casual cultivator said, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

Therefore, there must be an underlying reason why Master Canye wanted to win me over.

Could it be that he misunderstood because I performed so outstandingly at the auction?
Considering the recent situation where hidden Taoist sects have emerged one after another, it is not difficult for Xiao Chen to guess that the other party may have mistakenly thought that he also came from a certain force.

Therefore, he had actually started thinking about how to deal with it before going upstairs.

The original plan was to imitate the Nong Yan Sect's successor and also say, "My master forbids the disclosure of his name to outsiders."

But the problem is that Master Canye didn't even ask about his own origins, which is very strange.

Hiss~, it seems like a high-end operation, I can’t quite understand it.

Xiao Chen scratched his head and decided to ignore all these fancy things and focus his main energy on forming a baby.

No matter what problems are behind this, as long as you can form a baby yourself, none of them will be a problem.

In the world of spiritual practice, strength is the root of everything and can solve 99% of the problems and troubles in the world.

"But the grand ceremony is in three days, why don't we go to Red Flower Island first."

Xiao Chen originally planned to purchase coarse-grained twisted leaves nearby, but taking a detour might waste his time.

Although at his speed, he could cover 100,000 miles in a day.

Three days is more than enough to buy something nearby.

But if we consider the middle part, there may be a boy who brings money.

This time is very tight.

"It's not something valuable anyway. It should be the same even if we go to Nanzehai."

To be on the safe side, Xiao Chen finally decided to go to Honghua Island first.

The next plan was to attend the Nascent Soul Ceremony first, then find a market to buy coarse-grained twisted leaves, and by the way, inquire about information about the alchemist.

Then the Cangran Secret Realm will open in two months, go and look for the Yundao Crystal.

The other thing is the new ruins five months later. This is actually quite simple, just follow the chronological order.

After sorting out his next goal, Xiao Chen deliberately went to the square in the center of the island for a walk.

Pretend to purchase a spiritual item to make sure your whereabouts can be seen by those interested.

Then he flew away on his sword, heading towards Honghua Island.

There are many requirements for flying a sword. First of all, you cannot fly too fast, otherwise other Jindan cultivators will not be able to keep up with your speed.

Secondly, it cannot be too slow, otherwise it will seem fake.

Three hours later.

"Hey, why is no one catching up?"

Xiao Chen looked around but couldn't see anyone: "Could it be that the atmosphere in the cultivation world has suddenly changed for the better?"

According to the information from Lingtong Pavilion before, there were many tribulation cultivators in Tingtao Sea.

I didn't expect that even though I acted so rich before, no one came to bother me.

In fact, when bidding for the Four Seasons Frost Fruit at the beginning, many cultivators were planning to "rob the rich and help the poor" after the auction.

But after the sky-high price of four million was finally announced, no one dared to think about it anymore.

Carrying so many spirit stones with you means that you either have protectors secretly guarding you, or you have a trump card to rely on.

No matter what the situation is, coming here is tantamount to committing suicide.

He slowed down again and walked slowly for two hours. After confirming that no one was catching up, Xiao Chen accelerated towards Honghua Island with some regret.

Then I met a familiar face on Honghua Island.

Well, semi-acquaintance in both senses.

Old Qi, who had luckily obtained a whole bottle of Red Moon Dew in the Guiyun Secret Realm, now had his lower body, including his internal organs, missing.

Only the upper half of his body was washed by the waves onto the beach at the edge of Honghua Island.

No one dared to have any bad thoughts when Xiao Chen had two million spirit stones, and even if they tried to wait for the Tribulation Cultivator, they would still not be able to catch him.

But for Lao Qi, the original wealth turned into a death warrant, just in line with the saying that blessing and disaster go hand in hand.

Now he died in a foreign land, and there is no one to clean up his body.

Comparing the two, Xiao Chen couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Facts have proven that the atmosphere in the spiritual world has never changed.

The reason why the results are different is simply because the two people have different levels of cultivation.

That's it.
