Si Lei Zhenjun

A month later, Chu Xing had been practicing diligently to consolidate his cultivation except for occasionally accompanying Qi Shunan. As for the Yanshenzhu, he tried to communicate with it using his spiritual consciousness as soon as he came back, but to no avail, so he had to put it aside for the time being.

"The liquid mana in my Dantian has finally completely disappeared. I haven't been able to properly hone my mana since I formed the elixir."

Chu Xing sat up from the bed, stretched, and was about to walk out of the room when the communication jade talisman on his waist lit up.

"It turns out that my senior brother came to ask me for help with something."

“Ahh…”

Chu Xing pushed open the door and walked into the yard. Dai Bao nimbly climbed onto his shoulders and barked a few words at Chu Xing, as if complaining that no one had played with it during this period.

Chu Xing pinched its face and scolded it with a smile:

"Okay, okay, you've gained a lot of weight. I can't squat with my shoulders anymore."

"Ahhhhhhhhh..."

...

"I wonder what you want from me, brother?"

Chu Xing brought the little fox to Zhao Chunfeng's courtyard.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Chunfeng did not fiddle with strange things in the yard. Instead, he sat on a wooden chair in the room with his eyes closed, holding a black jade slip in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Junior brother is here."

Zhao Chunfeng opened his eyes, slowly stood up, bent down to take out a bundle of ropes from under the bed, and walked towards Chu Xing with a smile.

Seeing this, Chu Xing retreated repeatedly and said in a trembling voice:

"Brother, this...this won't do. I...I'm not that kind of person!"

"Please help me tie me to the bed, I want to practice this Great Divine Method."

Zhao Chunfeng handed the rope to Chu Xing, and pointed to a pile of ropes made of special materials that had obviously been refined under the bed.

"When practicing this method, your consciousness becomes chaotic and you become unaware of the external world. The last time I woke up, I actually found myself sleepwalking to the sect's Sunset Terrace. For this reason, I specially refined this pile of ropes. Unless I use all my strength, I can't break free."

"Hey, Senior Brother, you should have told me earlier."

Chu Xing let out a sigh of relief. He almost ran away. What normal man wouldn't be scared when seeing a man walking towards him with a rope and a smile?

Seeing that Zhao Chunfeng had laid on the bed and was even practicing the Great Evolution Divine Art with his eyes closed, Chu Xing did not hesitate and wrapped the rope around Zhao Chunfeng for more than ten times, three circles to the left and three circles to the right.

Finally, he tied seven or eight knots at the end of the rope. He pulled the rope hard and found that it was not loose. Then he clapped his hands in satisfaction.

“Ohhhhhh…”

Daibao flew to Chu Xing, gesturing with his claws, and stared at Zhao Chunfeng on the bed with confusion on his little face, as if asking what he was doing.

Chu Xing raised his chin slightly, picked up Dai Bao and stroked him twice, and said with a little complacency: "How is it, I tied him up pretty well, right? Just learn from me!"

“Ahhhhh…”

"Let's go to Danyun Valley and see if there's any elixir that can speed up your advancement. You made a great contribution last time by finding the remains of your master."

……

The afternoon sun shines through the gaps between the towering ancient trees, dappling onto Danyun Valley. A gentle breeze brings bursts of fresh air from the grass and trees. The quietness is mingled with the chirping of birds, as melodious as the sounds of nature.

Chu Xing landed at the entrance of the Dan Hall carrying Dai Baofang on his back. A woman in a lavender dress came up to them with graceful steps and said with a smile:

"Junior brother, why haven't I seen you selling storybooks recently? I've finished reading all the storybooks recently!"

The woman was tall, with an oval face set with a pair of bright big eyes, fair and delicate skin, as smooth as mutton-fat jade, and a pair of slender legs with graceful lines and well-proportioned legs.

Chu Xing looked at the strange woman in front of him, without much impression in his mind, but out of politeness, he smiled and responded:

"I am Chu Xing, a disciple of Piaomiao Peak. I have met Senior Sister. I also want to sell it, but the sect won't allow it to be sold."

Yu Wanwan's beautiful eyes flickered as she said in surprise:

"Why? Senior Sister thinks your storybook is quite interesting!"

Chu Xing looked embarrassed, hesitating and unable to speak for a long time.

"Hehe, if you don't want to tell Senior Sister, that's fine. Senior Sister's name is Yu Wanwan, a disciple of Danyun Valley."

Yu Wanwan smiled broadly and didn't ask any further questions. Instead, she cast her gaze towards the little fox on his shoulder:

"Junior brother, is this little fox your spirit animal? It's so cute!"

"Yes, Senior Sister Yu, I came here to buy some pills to speed up its advancement." Chu Xingdao.

"Then you came to the wrong place, Junior Brother. All matters concerning spirit beasts should be handled in the Beast Hall. Fortunately, you met Senior Sister."

Yu Wanwan patted her chest, took out a few spiritual fruits from the storage bag on her waist, and waved to Dai Bao.

"Come, little fox, sister has delicious food here!"

Dai Bao stared at the spiritual fruit in Yu Wanwan's hand with shining eyes, and pried at Chu Xing with his little claws. Seeing Chu Xing nod slightly, he jumped into Yu Wanwan's hand.

Chu Xing smiled and bowed, saying:

"Please give me some advice, Senior Sister!"

"The elixirs that Danyun Valley refines for spirit beasts will all be sent to the Beast Hall."

Yu Wanwan held Dai Bao against her slightly barren chest, caressing him with a look of satisfaction. Then, she walked with her pair of fair, slender, round legs towards a blue-brick and white-tiled attic building nearby, saying:

"You're alright, come with me. I'll take you directly to my brother to buy it. The price you pay at the Beast Hall is 30% higher!"

"Thank you, senior sister!" Chu Xing was delighted when he heard that and hurriedly followed.

……

Chu Xing followed Yu Wanwan into a two-story pavilion and met the senior brother Yu Wanwan mentioned in a spacious room, a young man with a handsome face, bright eyebrows and bright eyes.

The windows and doors of the room were wide open, and the air was filled with the fragrance of elixir. Inside the room stood a green and red elixir furnace about ten feet high, with green smoke curling from it.

The young man was obviously in a bad mood, and was sitting cross-legged on the cushion beside the alchemy furnace with a worried look on his face.

Yu Wanwan walked up to the young man gracefully and asked:

"Brother, are you free?"

"Well, what's up, Junior Sister?"

A forced smile appeared on the young man's face.

"Junior sister brought Junior brother Chu Xing to see Senior brother to buy some elixirs for spirit beasts. Here, this is the one who sold you the storybook."

Yu Wanwan winked at the young man playfully, raised her hand and pointed at Chu Xing beside her, her voice ethereal and melodious.

The young man then noticed Chu Xing and said with joy:

"Junior sister, could you please step aside for a moment? Chu Xing and I have some private matters to discuss."

"You guys chat, I don't want to listen to the trivial things between you men."

Yu Wanwan snorted softly and walked out of the room with graceful steps.

"Who are you, senior brother?" Chu Xing asked politely.

"Ahem, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Feng Chen."

Feng Chen patted his forehead lightly, and then a trace of bitterness flashed across his face.

"Chu Xing, Senior Brother is feeling miserable!"

Chu Xing suddenly realized, isn't this the socially unpopular senior brother from the Dan Hall? He seems to be complaining to me, could it be that the previous incident hasn't yet passed?

So Chu Xing asked cautiously:

"Brother Feng, are you talking about the time your master caught you reading the storybook?"

"Alas, that is long past."

Feng Chen sighed heavily.

"I am already fifty-six years old this year, and I have been struggling to find a Taoist companion."

"It shouldn't be like this, senior brother. With your looks and the fact that you are the eldest brother of the Danyun Valley lineage, you are in a high position. How could there be no fairy who likes you?" Chu Xing asked in surprise.

"Because I'm the eldest senior brother, the junior sisters all keep their distance from me. In order to maintain my dignity, I can't bring myself to approach the junior sister I like to build a relationship with her."

Feng Chen looked depressed.

Chu Xing understood. Isn't this because the aloof male god has always been reserved and dared not confess, so he is single? But this doesn't seem to have anything to do with him, so he asked puzzledly:

"Brother, but...what does this have to do with me?"

Feng Chen's face was filled with reminiscence, and he spoke slowly:

"Some time ago, I finally made up my mind to take the initiative, but I didn't know how to start. Then I remembered that there were many scenes in my junior brother's storybook where men confessed their love to women, so I memorized all the words they said."

"However, there were several times when I was about to open my mouth to confess my feelings to my junior sisters, but as soon as I looked into their eyes I became so nervous that I could not speak."

"Until last night, I met a graceful woman in a small pavilion in the sea of ​​flowers in Danyun Valley."

"Brother, please explain the following in detail!"

When Chu Xing heard this, the fire of gossip in his heart was ignited, and he reminded him.

Feng Chen pondered for a moment, then spoke again with a bitter face, "At that time, a scene from a storybook about a confession under the moon and flowers emerged in my mind. I hesitated for a while and finally decided to follow suit.

So I mustered up the courage to push the woman against the wall, lifted her chin with my hand, and said these words in a cold voice:

"Woman, you have successfully caught my attention. The sea of ​​flowers at night is extremely beautiful, but it cannot compare to your beautiful eyebrows. The stars and the autumn moon are all bright, but they cannot compare to the beauty of your eyes. When I think about spending the rest of my life with you, I am full of anticipation for the rest of my life. Woman, I want you to marry me!"

"Don't be discouraged, brother. At least you bravely took the first step!"

Chu Xing patted Feng Chen's shoulder gently to comfort him.

“No, she agreed…”

Feng Chen had a look of despair on his face and covered his face with one hand.

"What, agreed?" Chu Xing looked at him in surprise and asked in confusion, "Could it be that the woman's appearance is not satisfactory?"

"No, it's extremely beautiful, the most beautiful thing in the world!"

Feng Chen shook his head with a firm tone.

"Then why does Senior Brother look so hopeless?"

The more Chu Xing listened, the more confused he became.

"She...she is my master!"

Chu Xing: “…”

"Chu Xing, you've written so many romance novels before, so I think you know a lot about the relationship between men and women. Please teach me something!"

Feng Chen held Chu Xing's hand and stared at him eagerly.

Chu Xing was speechless.

He only had a little theoretical experience in his previous life, and he traveled through time before he had the chance to put it into practice. You come to me, a person who has been single for twenty years in two lifetimes, to ask for advice on emotional issues?

The two stared at each other for a while. Chu Xing saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so he paused for a long time before saying:

"Brother, don't you like your master? I heard you say before that she is also a peerless beauty in the world, extremely beautiful."

"Of course I like her, but... my master is five hundred years older than me."

Feng Chen answered hesitantly.

"So, Senior Brother, your concern is the huge age difference between the two of you? A cultivator in the Hedao realm lives for three thousand years, and your master is only twenty-eight in ordinary years."

Chu Xing looked at her with a look that said, "You kid, you don't know how to appreciate what you have. A woman who is three years older than you will bring you gold bricks, a woman who is thirty years older than you will bring you the kingdom, and a woman who is thirty years older than you will bring you elixirs. How many detours can you avoid with this?"

Feng Chen nodded thoughtfully, took out a coffee table and a set of tea sets from his storage bag and placed them between the two of them. He then took out a box of tea leaves and began to brew tea. He pondered and continued, "What are you talking about?"

"Chu Xing, I don't know how I should get along with her in the future?"

Chu Xing suddenly had a thousand complaints in his heart:

"If I knew, I would have hooked up with a rich woman. You really think of me as your life mentor, don't you?"

Without even thinking, he blurted out, "Eating soft rice and making a living."

Feng Chen looked puzzled and handed Chu Xing a cup of hot tea:

"Chu Xing, do you mean that I should maintain a domineering and cold attitude in front of her?"

“Ahem… ahem… yes… yes!”

Chu Xing picked up the teacup and took a sip. Suddenly, when he heard this question, he couldn't help but choked on the tea. He coughed and nodded reluctantly.

"Brother, do you have any elixirs that can speed up the advancement of spirit beasts?"

Seeing that he was about to ask more questions, Chu Xing realized that he really couldn't stand this kind of questions anymore, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Yes, Chu Xing, what kind of beast spirit pill do you want?"

"Uh, is there anything else to this?"

"Well, spirit beasts, like cultivators, also have various attributes, and it's best to eat the corresponding spirit beast pills."

"I'm glad to hear your advice. I'll bring it to you, Senior Brother, to have a look. I don't know what kind of creature it is. Senior Sister Yu is taking it out to play."

Chu Xing came out of the attic and found Yu Wanwan laughing and playing with several young women under an ancient tree.

Daibao was held in Yu Wanwan's arms with a look of despair on his face, and several women next to him would occasionally reach out and stroke him.

Chu Xingxing walked up to Yu Wanwan and told her about the situation. He wanted to take Daibao back directly, but Yu Wanwan followed him back to Feng Chen's attic.

"Brother, I brought the spirit beast here. Could you please help me see what its attributes are?"

"it is good!"

Feng Chen took Dai Bao in his hand and looked at him with his spiritual sense, then shook his head and said:

"I can't tell either. Why don't you let it use its innate magical powers?"

"Daibao, the Void God Travel."

“Ohhhhh…”

Daibao's figure disappeared into the void, and when he appeared again he was already outside the attic.

"Your spirit beast actually has spatial attributes, which is quite rare. I don't have the corresponding beast spirit pills. I'll go to the Dan Hall warehouse to get some for you. How many do you want?"

"It's enough to take for half a year."

……

A moment later, Feng Chenfang walked out of a tall building and returned to the two of them. He spoke a little embarrassedly, "Our Alchemy Hall refines very few Space-attributed Beast Spirit Pills, so the price is a bit high. It costs 550 Spirit Stones per bottle. For five bottles in total, I'll give you a discount and charge you 2,500 Spirit Stones."

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Chu Xing took it with a smile, intending to buy some other pills from him:

"Junior brother has been in the process of forming a pill for a while now, and is about to leave the sect to carry out a mission. I would like to buy some pills from you that can speed up my cultivation, as well as pills for detoxification and healing. Is that possible?"

Feng Chen nodded, took out a pile of porcelain bottles from his storage bag and placed them on the table beside him. He took a green porcelain bottle and introduced it to him:

"This is the Moon Spirit Pill. A Jindan cultivator's cultivation speed can be increased by 20% when taking it. The Dan Hall sells it for 650 spirit stones per bottle. However, I made it myself. Even if I give it to you at 600 per bottle, I wonder how many bottles you would like?"

Chu Xing thought for a while and said, "Four bottles."

Afterwards, Chu Xing spent another 600 spirit stones to buy some elixirs for detoxification and healing, and by the way, he exchanged spiritual imprints with Feng Chen on the communication jade talisman.

……

At the entrance of Dan Hall.

Yu Wanwan reluctantly handed the little fox in her arms to Chu Xing and asked casually:

"Junior brother, have you found a team for this sect mission?"

Chu Xing shook his head. He knew that when the sect disciples went out of the sect to carry out a mission for the first time, they had to team up with disciples above the Nascent Soul stage.

Yu Wanwan paused and said:

"Senior Sister has accepted a mission and will be leaving in half a month. She happens to be short of one person. Junior Brother, do you want to come?"

"Senior Sister, what is the mission content?"

Chu Xing was a little tempted, but decided to wait and see what the mission was.

"The mission is to eliminate a demon cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage, but I will be the one to do the main work, and you will just follow and help." Yu Wanwan said.

Chu Xing frowned and thought to himself: This mission is considered to be the less dangerous one among the team missions. After all, the leader of the team mission is at least a Nascent Soul disciple or above, and it is impossible for him to take on some Golden Core missions. Although he does not have to face the Nascent Soul demon cultivators directly, it is impossible to say that there is no danger. Anything can happen in a real fight.

"Sister is at the Nascent Soul stage, so there's no need to worry about her safety."

While Chu Xing was thinking, he suddenly felt a heat coming from his ears, and then heard a cold and gentle voice with a hint of resentment in the tone.

Chu Xing suddenly came back to his senses and saw Yu Wanwan staring at him with a faint gaze, a hint of anger on her pretty and delicate face.

His mind raced as he gazed intently at the woman before him, smiling and jokingly saying:

"Your eyes and eyebrows are full of smiles, and whether you smile or not, you are intoxicating. Senior sister, I will never dare to stare at you casually again, otherwise I will lose my mind like I am now."

Yu Wanwan gave him a reproachful look, a faint blush staining her snow-white cheeks.
