Hearing Wang Ye's teasing remark, Zhang Lingyu, with her cold expression, simply ignored it.

Seeing the struggle in Jiang Linglong's eyes, Lu Xueqi also made a sword-finger gesture and pointed it at Jiang Linglong's brow, then softly uttered, "Break."

Jiang Linglong was already a frightened bird. The moment the seal was removed, he instinctively retreated. "I will never forget this kindness. I will repay it when I have mastered the Dao!"

After saying that, Jiang Linglong hurriedly returned the way he came.

After quickly turning around several alleys and realizing that the three people hadn't followed, he dared to take out his newly bought Huawei phone to call Wang Wenjing.

When Wang Wenjing was buying a phone, she simply wrote down the order form for the salesperson and read her number aloud once, and Jiang Linglong silently memorized it.

"Linglong, where are you?"

"I...I'm fine. Has Master returned?" Jiang Linglong was afraid that her master would worry if he knew. "Don't tell Master about this yet, I'm afraid he'll worry."

Wang Wenjing hesitated for a moment and said, "Come back first, I'll wait for you where the car is parked."

"Okay, I'll be there soon."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Linglong felt like she had escaped a disaster, and at the same time, she was extremely grateful to the three complete strangers who had come to her rescue.

About four or five minutes later.

As Jiang Linglong returned to the parking lot of the shopping mall, he saw Wang Wenjing anxiously waiting for him from a distance.

"What's going on? What happened?"

Wang Wenjing breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Jiang Linglong return safely and began to ask him questions.

Jiang Linglong immediately asked her master, Chen Xuan, if he knew about this.

Wang Wenjing did not answer and gestured for Jiang Linglong to get in the car first.

After opening the car door, Jiang Linglong immediately didn't dare to breathe.

"Master, I just slipped away by myself, and I got so engrossed in playing that I forgot about the time."

Jiang Linglong lowered her head like a little girl who had done something wrong, her hands clutching the hem of her clothes as she awkwardly fabricated lies in an attempt to get away with it.

"Come on up." Chen Xuan smiled and shook his head as he looked at his disciple, whose clothes had been completely transformed.

As Jiang Linglong got into the car, it slowly drove towards Tangwu Mountain.

"Now you know how dangerous it is to enter the world, right? The reason I didn't take action this time wasn't just to give you a chance to experience it; there were other reasons as well."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Linglong blushed and lowered her head, stammering, "So Master already knew?"

"You little rascal, do you think your make-up lie can fool your master?" Seeing Jiang Linglong becoming increasingly remorseful, Chen Xuan reached out and rubbed her head. "Don't worry, this isn't over. Tonight, your master will get justice for you."

Seeing that her master did not blame her, Jiang Linglong dared to tell him what had happened.

"Sister Chen went to the restroom, and I was playing on my phone on the chair by the door. As I was playing, I suddenly realized that there was no sound around me. When I looked up, I saw that everything was foggy. My intuition told me that there was danger, so I ran quickly. But before I could get out of the fog, someone pointed at my forehead and then I uncontrollably followed him away."

Wang Wenjing turned pale upon hearing this, "Then how did you escape from that person?"

Jiang Linglong said, "I was already in despair, thinking I would never see my master again, but I didn't expect to meet three people when I was about to leave the alley. Two men and one woman, one with a demon-revealing mirror, one with a jujube wood sword, and an older sister with a whisk."

Jiang Linglong recalled her first impression of the three magical artifacts: "I was terrified when I saw them. I thought I was doomed. I couldn't even handle one, let alone four?"

"Unexpectedly, one of the three Taoist brothers pulled me out of the magic circle as he passed by."

Jiang Linglong's vivid and engaging storytelling made Wang Wenjing feel a chill run down her spine, unable to imagine whether she could have remained calm in that situation.

"Then the person who took me away got angry. He first shook a golden bell, and the sound of the bell entered my ears. My consciousness was momentarily scattered. When I regained consciousness, I found that the person who took me away had already left. Then the older sister released the seal on me, and I quickly ran back."

As Jiang Linglong recounted the perilous experiences she had gone through, her small hands instinctively gripped Chen Xuan's clothes tightly, as if only in this way could she find peace of mind.

"By the way, Master, what is dual cultivation?"

Chen Xuan glanced at Jiang Linglong, who looked completely bewildered, but didn't say anything. Instead, he asked, "What did the person who took you away say to you?"

Jiang Linglong said, "He said I was born with a beautiful appearance, and that he would take me back to the sect to cultivate with me first, then take out my inner core, remove my fish scales... and refine a precious armor."

Chen Xuan's eyes twitched and his face turned ashen.

Wang Wenjing was also furious, "You beast, you dog!"

"Master, what is dual cultivation?" Jiang Linglong asked again. Could it be some kind of Taoist secret technique?

"I will teach you the method of cultivating both body and mind later. For now, close your eyes, regulate your breathing, and calm your mind."

As a teacher, Chen Xuan couldn't possibly discuss matters of men and women in front of his disciples.

But cultivating both body and spirit is different; it's a method for cultivating inner elixir, which he naturally knew after receiving the inheritance of the Six Volumes of Earthly Immortals.

"Okay, then Master will teach me dual cultivation tonight?"

Seeing her master's caution, Jiang Linglong immediately concluded that it was a very powerful esoteric technique and was overjoyed.

Wang Wenjing was so shocked by the master and apprentice's words that she opened her mouth wide and kept looking at Chen Xuan in the rearview mirror, her eyes seeming to say: Are you serious?

Chen Xuan knew that Wang Wenjing had misunderstood him, so he said, "There is indeed such a saying in the cultivation of alchemy, don't overthink it."

Wang Wenjing breathed a sigh of relief. She would only believe Chen Xuan if he said that. Between the two of them, Jiang Linglong was such a simple and innocent girl. In the middle of nowhere, a lone man and a lone woman, who could resist?

Soon, the car stopped at the end of the Tangwushan Scenic Area.

The area ahead is undeveloped, and the only way to get there is to walk up the rugged mountain path.

"Sigh, if this hadn't happened, I would have treated you and your apprentice to a big meal before sending you back," Wang Wenjing said with some regret.

"No need for that, you've already gone to so much trouble for me today." Chen Xuan glanced at Wang Wenjing with a hint of goodwill in his eyes.

"Stop, don't say thank you, or thank you for your trouble. I don't like it when you say that to me." Wang Wenjing said, then hurried back to the car and waved to the master and apprentice. "Be careful on the road. If you need to go down the mountain again, call me and I'll come pick you up."

After saying that, Wang Wenjing didn't give Chen Xuan a chance to say thank you and bent down to get into the car.

Chen Xuan was both amused and exasperated. He then carried his disciple's various daily necessities in one hand and pulled Jiang Linglong up the mountain with the other.

After returning to Feixian Temple, Jiang Linglong seemed to have returned to her old lair and became lively again.

She first offered incense and knelt in prayer to thank the Taoist ancestor for his blessing, and then excitedly went to prepare dinner.

Chen Xuan then entered his residence and began refining the core components of the formation.

In less than half an hour, Chen Xuan left his residence, completely satisfied.

Seeing the little girl still busy preparing dinner in the kitchen, he called out, "Disciple."

"Hey, Master, are you hungry? It'll be ready soon." Jiang Linglong ran out of the kitchen and came to Chen Xuan's side to tell him about the cooking progress.

“This item is called the (Concealing Breath Ring). Wearing it will conceal the demonic aura on your body.” Chen Xuan said, then turned his hand over and said, “This is called the (Storage Ring). Due to material limitations, the space is not large, but it is enough for you to put your personal items in and use them at any time.”

The two rings, one purple and the other cyan, are small and exquisite, with beautiful designs, clearly custom-made.

Jiang Linglong opened her eyes wide and took the two rings, playing with them in her palm. Since she had no inheritance, she naturally did not know the value of the two items.

However, Chen Xuan did not have the habit of showing off his skills.

"It's so beautiful! I love it! Thank you, Master."

Jiang Linglong looked at Chen Xuan and saw his big eyes curve into crescents.

"Master, how do I use this?"

Chen Xuan smiled, "The Concealing Breath Ring can be used with a drop of blood, while the Storage Ring requires a wisp of your spiritual energy to be infused and refined before it can be used."

"it is good."

Just as Jiang Linglong was about to refine the porridge on the spot, he suddenly smelled a burnt odor and immediately realized something: "Oh no, my porridge!"

So before she could refine the ring, Jiang Linglong rushed into the kitchen. Fortunately, she returned in time and the ring wasn't burned too badly.

Chen Xuan rarely smiled, and suddenly realized that the Taoist temple was actually quite nice since the quirky Jiang Linglong joined.

Back in his room, Chen Xuan's spirit immediately descended the mountain with the two sets of core array components.

"The Five Elements Bewitching Array is a basic array. Once the array is set up, a thick fog rises that cannot be dispelled. Once a person enters the array, the Five Elements are disordered, and they will either remain in place or return the way they came."

"The Water Gathering and Ice Condensation Array is a low-grade, beginner-level array. If someone breaks through the Five Elements Bewitching Array and enters this array, the restriction will be automatically triggered. At that time, a large amount of water mist around will condense into arrows to attack and kill the invading enemy."

Chen Xuan sat cross-legged, muttering, "It's a pity I didn't have top-grade refining materials, otherwise I could have refined an even more terrifying array base."

"Master, dinner's ready..."

Hearing Jiang Linglong's call, Chen Xuan straightened his clothes and stepped out.

time flies.

Before they knew it, the master and disciple had finished their dinner. After receiving the contents of "The Earth Immortal Scroll" from Chen Xuan, Jiang Linglong returned to the pond to cultivate diligently.

Chen Xuan checked the time; there were still ten minutes until the agreed-upon broadcast time.

at the same time.

Undeveloped mountain roads in Tangwushan Scenic Area.

"Hey, where am I? The weather forecast didn't say it would rain today!"

Wang Ye complained incessantly, "Where did such thick fog come from? Even with the Daoist's keen eyesight, I could only barely see three or four meters ahead!"

“There is indeed a lot more fog here,” Zhang Lingyu said, her eyes flashing with golden light as she frowned.

"No, the orientation is wrong?" Lu Xueqi was the first to notice the problem and immediately alerted the two of them.

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Wang Ye hurriedly used his Qimen Dunjia technique, and sure enough, he was shocked by what he saw. "We're already inside a formation?"

"What kind of wealth would it take to set up an array with such a massive area?"

"Stop talking nonsense, let's break the formation first?"

……

The great formation was activated, and Chen Xuan, who set it up, naturally noticed it. He calculated with his fingers and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Want to reclaim the magical artifacts that the three religions copied? Considering that you helped Linglong escape, I'll give you a chance to break through the formation."

As the hour arrived, Chen Xuan successfully started his live stream.
