Creation of the Universe

After nightfall, the noise in Fusheng Inn gradually dissipated.

The individual guests downstairs left one after another, leaving only the guests staying in their rooms. The atmosphere was quiet but a little depressing.

Shen Zhan slowly opened his eyes, and Chu Qiu congratulated him, "Brother, you've broken through to the Martial Master Lihuang Realm. Congratulations."

"Only after experiencing this myself did I realize how much time I had wasted by not practicing diligently before, and now I have to start all over again."

After Shen Zhan finished speaking, he smiled bitterly.

Chu Qiu said, "Everything in this world has its destiny. Big Brother has been betrayed and endured hardships, but he still has the luck and perseverance to start over. I believe that in time, Big Brother will definitely become stronger than in his previous life. Those who betrayed you will eventually be beheaded and pay a heavy price!"

At this time, Chu Rumeng knocked on the door and came in, holding a basin of freshly poured hot water in her hand. She said to Shen Zhan, "Master, wipe off your sweat. I've asked the waiter to prepare the food, and it will be served soon."

"Oh, it's different having a disciple. I don't have to worry about anything."

Chu Qiu praised it with a click of his tongue, and did not forget to remind Shen Zhan that this was a good idea he had given to him.

Shen Zhan pondered and said, "You two are so attentive, it would be inappropriate for me, as your master, not to prepare some gifts for you.

I was on the road all the time and didn't have time to think about this. Now that I have some free time, let me find something suitable for you."

Chu Rumeng waved her hands and said, "Master, you're too kind. What we've done is what we should do as disciples. How can we still dream of asking for anything in return? This is totally inappropriate."

"Look, he's really sensible. He definitely won't regret accepting these two good disciples."

Chu Qiu couldn't stop smiling.

As the ancestor of the Chu family, Chu Qiu must of course consider the future of the family. If the sisters Ruxuan and Rumeng must find a master to learn skills from, then Shen Zhan is the most suitable candidate in the world.

Chu Qiu just had this little bit of selfishness in his mind, and at the same time he also wanted to prove to Shen Zhan that the descendants of their Chu family would not disappoint him.

Shen Zhan then unfolded the map of mountains, rivers and stars. Since leaving Jinning, he had been to the Spirit Beast Forest, Sword Ruins, Bloody Wilderness, Floating Cloud City, etc., with swords and shadows, twists and turns along the way.

But the good thing is that he has collected a lot of valuable elixirs, spiritual fruits and spiritual weapons, and he can't use some of them for the time being, so he just gave them to Ruxuan and Rumeng as gifts from master to disciple. This master-disciple relationship can be regarded as a good start.

"I didn't expect there were two Earth Spirit Fruits left. You two should keep them first. I'll teach you how to refine them later. This will greatly improve your cultivation, especially in the initial stages of learning."

As Shen Zhan spoke, he handed over the Earth Spirit Fruit first, and then continued to explore in the map of mountains, rivers and stars, until he saw a piece of iron that had been tempered by the Mountain and River Cauldron, and his face immediately showed joy.

"This is my gift to you."

As he was speaking, Chu Ruxuan happened to come in from outside. When she saw the black iron block held in Shen Zhan's hand, she and her sister Rumeng both showed puzzled expressions.

This piece of iron...is it some magical thing?

The two sisters had this question in their minds, and Shen Zhan said, "Don't be fooled by its appearance, but this black iron block is actually a top-quality forging material, enough to be cast into two excellent weapons."

Chu Qiu glanced at it and after examining it carefully, he said, "Yes, this piece of iron has already been polished to a very mature state. It just lacks the final step of casting it into shape. This is definitely a great gift."

Chu Ruxuan and Chu Rumeng accepted the gifts and were full of gratitude to Shen Zhan, and then began to think about what kind of magical weapon they should create.

They were thinking about this issue very seriously, and Shen Zhan was not in a hurry to make suggestions.

At this time, downstairs of Fusheng Inn, the sound of horse hooves came from afar and gradually stopped in front of the inn door, which meant that a new guest had arrived.

"Hey, someone has already booked a room upstairs. Can you tell me where it is?"

It was the voice of a young woman.

Shen Zhan stood behind the door very alertly and looked out through the crack, because he felt that the voice was very familiar and must be someone he knew.

After taking a look, it turned out that the person who came up was Shen Jingjuan, and she moved directly into the upper room next to Shen Zhan and his family.

At this time, he noticed that Shen Jingjuan was alone, which was obviously unreasonable. She should be in the team sent to Beiliang by the Jinning Palace this time, because the queen must be worried about letting Shen Yunli come to Beiliang without restraint, and Shen Jingjuan could play the role of monitoring and restraining along the way.

That woman would definitely choose to do this, Shen Zhan knew her style of doing things very well.

"What? Did you run into someone you know?"

Shen Zhan replied to Chu Qiu, "The girl living next door is the daughter of Prince Jinning, Princess Anping, Shen Jingjuan.

She was supposed to be with Yunli, but now she comes to the inn alone. I think she must know something."

"Then go ask her."

Chu Qiu said decisively.

However, if you want to get the answer from Shen Jingjuan, first of all, she may not cooperate honestly. Secondly, Wang Tonghai and others are also upstairs. If something happens, it will not end well.

Therefore, Shen Zhan had to find the best of both worlds, to be able to approach Shen Jingjuan quietly without being discovered, and not to alert Wang Tonghai and others.

After understanding the situation, Chu Qiu said to Shen Zhan, "If that's the case, why don't I go? When Shen Jingjuan sees my brother's face, she'll probably scream and attract other unnecessary people.

I only need to use some tricks to control her, and then it will be much easier to ask her whatever I want."

Shen Zhan agreed to Chu Qiu's countermeasures, so the latter conjured up a paper fan and strolled to the door of Shen Jingjuan.

There was a knock on the door, and the princess impatiently questioned from inside, "Didn't I tell you not to bother me?"

Chu Qiu coughed lightly and then knocked on the door again.

Shen Jingjuan's footsteps came to the door, and the moment the door opened, Chu Qiu gently waved the paper fan in his hand. The former's eyes suddenly became blurred, and he walked back to the center of the room in a trance and sat down.

Behind Chu Qiu, Shen Zhan walked in naturally. At this time, Shen Jingjuan's eyes showed an expression of extreme shock, but she was temporarily unable to move or make any sound.

"My immobilization spell can be broken by water, so I will go wait next door."

Chu Qiu lowered his voice and spoke to Shen Zhan.

Shen Zhan walked straight to Shen Jingjuan, used his spiritual power to draw a drop of tea from the teacup and held it on his fingertips, then flicked his fingers and put it into Shen Jingjuan's mouth.

"Where is my sister Shen Yunli?"

He questioned expressionlessly.
