Chaos Dao Sheng Jue

Chapter 27: Breaking the Ice

Lu Chen carried Hao Nan De's body towards Xiaozhu Peak. On the way, he met many disciples. When they saw him carrying the corpse with murderous look on his back, they dodged and whispered to each other. Lu Chen ignored all this and just wanted to go back quickly to bury his master.

"Lu Chen! What's happening?" Gu Feng asked with concern. He and Zhong Tao had come to have a barbecue as scheduled. Knowing that Lu Chen was called away by the elders, he and Zhong Tao had been chatting and laughing in the courtyard waiting for Lu Chen to come back, but they saw this scene.

"What happened? Isn't this your master, Elder Hao?" Zhong Tao said solemnly, changing his usual playful smile.

Lu Chen was very moved by the caring looks of the two people, and felt somewhat comforted. He wanted to speak but suddenly choked up, tears welled up in his eyes, and he was very distressed. He had to walk away silently, and then came to the courtyard and put Hao Nan De's body down.

He found a spot that he thought was suitable and began to dig desperately with his bare hands, because he wanted to do the last thing for his master with his own hands. Tears flowed down his cheeks into the soil. Perhaps only this way could he ease the sadness in his heart.

Zhong Tao and Gu Feng looked at each other, then silently came to Lu Chen, squatted down, and began to help Lu Chen dig with their bare hands.

Lu Chen looked at the two of them with gratitude. They smiled at each other and continued digging.

Elder Baili and Elder Qiu Xueming flew to Xiaozhu Peak on their swords. They saw Lu Chen and his companions lying on the ground, concentrating on digging a hole with their bare hands. They were both very moved.

Elder Baili was about to speak when he was stopped by Elder Qiu Xueming, who sent a message to him, "Don't disturb them yet! Lu Chen is indeed a filial child. Brother Hao Nan De would be pleased if he knew about this."

"Senior Brother Qiu is absolutely right. If it weren't for my shallow cultivation and my poor teaching skills, I would really like to accept Lu Chen as my disciple." Elder Baili transmitted the message.

"Junior brother did remind me of this. I will ask him later to see if he is willing to become my disciple. Now that Senior Brother Hao has passed away, Lu Chen has no one to rely on. I am afraid it will be difficult for him to survive in the sect. I think what I am doing can comfort Senior Brother Hao's spirit in heaven." Elder Qiu Xueming said with emotion, seeming to be very satisfied with his decision.

"It would be a blessing for this kid to become a disciple of Senior Brother Qiu. How could he not want to do that?" Elder Baili said with a smile.

Although Lu Chen, Zhong Tao and Gu Feng did not use their spiritual power, they quickly dug a simple tomb.

At this time, Lu Chen also discovered Elder Baili and Elder Qiu Xueming not far away. After greeting them, Lu Chen placed Hao Nande's body into the tomb.

"Master! I'm sorry for you. I swear to uproot the Divine Beast Mountain to avenge you! Have a safe journey!" Lu Chen cried, took a last look at Hao Nan De in the grave, and slowly buried the soil.

With the help of Zhong Tao and Gu Feng, a small hill of graves was soon built.

Lu Chen found a stone slab, poured his spiritual power into the magic sword, and carved a line of large characters crookedly. There was nothing Lu Chen could do about it because he had never learned calligraphy, so the handwriting was a bit ugly.

Elder Qiu Xueming didn't understand what Lu Chen was doing at first, but he finally realized it when he thought of the secular tombstone. He then saw that the simplified Chinese characters written by Lu Chen were really ugly, so he said, "Brother Lu Chen, let me do this."

After Lu Chen told him the content, Elder Qiu Xueming slapped the stone slab that Lu Chen had just engraved with his palm. A strong breath rushed towards the stone slab, raising a cloud of dust and revealing the smooth surface, as if it had been polished.

Then, a powerful spiritual power shot out from two fingers, which turned into a beam of light and wrote back and forth on the stone slab, causing another burst of dust and stone chips.

After a few breaths, a tombstone with hollow seal characters was carved. The characters were vigorous and powerful, and it read "The Tomb of Hao Nan De, Apprentice Lu Chenxiao."

Elder Qiu Xueming's move stunned Lu Chen, Zhong Tao and Gu Feng, and they secretly admired him.

After erecting the tombstone, Lu Chen took out a few wine glasses from the storage bag, poured spiritual wine into them, and kowtowed three times and nine times before finishing.

The others simply bowed their heads in respect.

After doing all this, Lu Chen calmed down and greeted everyone. He used his spiritual sense to control and took out a set of tables and chairs from the Golden Pearl World, and also took out some spiritual wine to greet everyone.

"Fatty Zhong! Don't you want to eat steak? You and Gu Feng will be responsible for grilling it. He will teach you how to make it." Lu Chen took out the meat of the third-level monster, the Mountain-opening Bull, from the Golden Pearl World and gave it to Zhong Tao.

Zhong Tao originally wanted to confront Lu Chen, but Gu Feng kicked him on the butt, then he winked at him. Zhong Tao then followed Gu Feng to grill the beef resignedly.

"Thank you two elders for your help!" Lu Chen picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

The two elders knew that he was talking about the Taixuan Hall and they both tried to stop Fan Jianren from taking action. They did not refuse and also picked up their glasses to drink.

"Lu Chen! What are your plans next?" Qiu Xueming asked tentatively.

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment when he was suddenly asked this question. Yes, now that his master is gone, the scene that happened in Taixuan Hall made Lu Chen disheartened and disappointed with Xuantian Sect. A feeling of having nowhere to go came over him.

Lu Chen took a sip of wine and sighed, "Actually, I don't know either. I'm very confused right now. Let's make plans after today!"

After saying that, Lu Chen poured himself another glass of wine and drank it.

"Haha! I can understand how you feel now. I see that you are very filial. Senior Brother Hao and I have a good relationship on a daily basis. How about I accept you as my personal disciple in advance?" Qiu Xueming said with a smile.

Lu Chen looked at Elder Qiu Xueming with gratitude. He had seen many people who added icing on the cake, but it was rare to see someone who provided timely assistance. Normally, which elder would choose his disciples carefully?

In the eyes of outsiders, his qualifications are garbage among garbage, but Elder Qiu would actually extend an olive branch to him at this time. To be honest, Lu Chen admires Elder Qiu Xueming's character from the bottom of his heart.

Lu Chen quickly stood up, wiped his hands on his body, bowed and said respectfully: "Thank you for Master Qiu's kindness, but my aptitude is very poor. I am worried that I will cause criticism and bring inconvenience to Master Qiu. Moreover, I plan to travel far away for training, so... please take back your order."

Qiu Xueming thought that Lu Chen would be grateful and was happy to see him saluting him, but he heard Lu Chen's words of refusal. He was embarrassed for a moment and then saw Lu Chen bending down and respectfully waiting for his reply.

"Lu Chen, you are confused! Take back what you said just now. Senior Brother Qiu will not blame you." Elder Baili advised.

But Lu Chen remained unmoved and still maintained a respectful posture.

Qiu Xueming sighed and said, "Forget it! Forget it! Everyone has their own aspirations and I won't force you. Get up quickly!"

"Thank you, Master, for your understanding!" Lu Chen then stood up and raised the wine glass to apologize to the two elders.

"The steaks are here! Come and have a taste of my cooking, elders." At this time, Zhong Tao and Gu Feng walked in, each carrying two plates of steak. Judging from the grease on the corners of Zhong Tao's mouth that had not been wiped clean, this kid had stolen a lot of food.

"This way of eating is really fresh and tastes good!" Elder Baili picked up a piece of steak with chopsticks, took a bite and praised, and Elder Qiu also started eating.

Lu Chen looked at several people talking and laughing, and felt very warm in his heart.

As the saying goes, three cups of wine for the world, a pot of tea for the great cause.

Under the influence of alcohol, Zhong Tao said that he wanted to become the top talisman master in the world of cultivation in the future.

Gu Feng said that they would get married after Tong Wei came out of seclusion, and he would take her with him to travel the world of cultivation in the future.

Lu Chen secretly took note of it and wished them the best.

Elder Qiu Xueming and Elder Baili looked at these young people who were full of vigor and vitality, and felt deeply moved. Every young person has a dream, but the reality is very cruel. They were reluctant to point it out, because after all, some things can only be understood through personal experience.

When asked about Lu Chen's ideas, under the atmosphere, Lu Chen told about his alchemy plan.

This idea caused everyone to sigh.

"Okay! You really dare to think so, but I wish you success soon. Let's toast to your dream!" Zhong Tao patted Lu Chen's shoulder and said with a smile.

Alchemy is more difficult than ascending to heaven. There are countless cultivators who have the same idea as Lu Chen, but how many of them succeed?

"I have passed by Changfen Ridge. It is said that it was a burial place on the battlefield in the past. Due to the lack of sunlight for many years, it is easy to form Yin Fire. If you want to develop in the way of alchemy, you can go there to search if you have the chance. Maybe you can subdue a Yin Fire for your use." Elder Qiu Xueming took out two jade slips and handed them to Lu Chen, saying that it was a map of Changfen Ridge.

"Thank you, Master!" Upon hearing the news, Lu Chen's eyes lit up and he took the jade slip and expressed his gratitude.

Then they chatted about some irrelevant topics until it was getting dark and they left one after another.
