Proving Immortality Starting with Hextech Runes

Li Yuan felt extremely uncomfortable under Chen Xu's gaze.

He hesitated for a moment before lowering his voice and speaking very quickly:

"Fellow Daoist, please do not ask any more questions!"

"In short, take my advice: if you want to stay safe, it's best to stay indoors for the time being and not go out."

"Farewell!" As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yuansheng was afraid that Chen Xu would ask him any more questions, and he was also afraid that he would say something wrong, so he prepared to turn around and leave.

But as soon as he took a step, Chen Xu stepped forward and blocked his way.

Li Yuan's expression changed drastically: "What do you mean by this, fellow Daoist?"

Chen Xu simply stared coldly at Li Yuan, the Five Thunder Talisman bestowed by Qing Yi appearing in his hand at some unknown time.

"A second-tier talisman!? What are you trying to do?" Upon seeing the talisman, Li Yuan's pupils constricted sharply, and a layer of cold sweat instantly seeped out from his back.

Chen Xu said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Li, why don't we make a vow against our inner demons?"

"I promise I won't tell anyone else about our meeting. That would be a safeguard for everyone, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan felt a sense of relief and secretly pondered:

"So you were supposed to make a vow against your inner demons... Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Why resort to such frightening methods...

However, after making the vow to overcome their inner demons, everyone did feel much more at ease.

I don't have to risk being punished by reporting this matter.

"But...how come I didn't think of such a good method?"

After thinking for a moment, Li Yuan scratched his head, forced a smile, and agreed.

"Alright...alright! I swear it."

The two then immediately used their souls as a guide to make a vow against their inner demons.

With the oath made, Chen Xu no longer tried to stop Li Yuan and let him leave.

After putting away the Five Thunder Talisman, Chen Xu stared in the direction where Li Yuan had disappeared, his heart filled with doubt and uncertainty.

"Stay inside and don't go out?"

"Li Yuan is so nervous; something big is probably about to happen in Nanjiang..."

After some analysis, Chen Xu decided not to leave Hansong Sect for the time being.

After all, if anything were to happen in Nanjiang, the Cold Pine Sect, with its Core Formation cultivators in charge, would undoubtedly be the safest place.

Although Li Yuan did not finish his sentence, he was bound by the oath of inner demons, so his words are quite credible.

Given the current unclear situation, it's best to play it safe for now.

With Wang Tiezhu's wedding approaching, he had to give an explanation for not attending...

Chen Xu thought about it and made up his mind.

……

Then, Chen Xu went to the outer gate and stopped a young female cultivator who was hurrying past, asking:

"Excuse me, junior sister. Do you know where Han Feng's cave is located?"

The female cultivator was startled when she was suddenly called to a stop. She quickly and respectfully bowed, her voice slightly nervous.

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother Han Feng's cave dwelling... is in the southern area of ​​the outer courtyard, near the herb fields. Do you need me to show you the way?"

"No need, thank you." Chen Xu nodded slightly and turned to walk towards the South District.

They quickly found the only small courtyard near the medicinal herb field.

Chen Xu walked to the gate of Han Feng's courtyard and gently knocked on the door.

A moment later, the wooden door opened, revealing Han Feng's round face. Upon seeing Chen Xu, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he then cupped his hands in greeting:

"Senior Brother Chen? Congratulations on your advancement to the inner sect! May I ask what brings you here?"

Chen Xu took out the jade box containing the Crimson Sun Ginseng and said directly:

"A good friend of mine will be marrying Han Xiaomei at the Han family home soon, and I have important matters to attend to that I cannot refuse."

"I would like to trouble Junior Brother Han to convey my congratulatory gift on my behalf. I wonder if Junior Brother Han has the time?"

Han Feng was taken aback, then took the jade box: "I see! This is nothing, I'll send someone back to the Han family right away, Senior Brother Chen, please rest assured!"

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Junior Brother Han." Chen Xu said no more, nodded slightly, and then turned to leave.

After returning to his cave, Chen Xu went to the spirit spring and, with a thought, released Xiao Jin from the beast-taming ring.

"Thump!"

A golden figure eagerly leaped into the spiritual spring.

Little Jin popped half its body out and blew bubbles at Chen Xu:

"Gurgle!"

"Why are you locking up this loach again?"

Chen Xu ignored Xiao Jin, casually tossed a Yellow Dragon Pill, and then walked into the cultivation room.

……

March passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the cultivation room, Chen Xu opened his palm, and with a slight thought, a cyan mark formed by the power of divine consciousness slowly took shape.

"It's finally done!"

Chen Xu exhaled a deep breath, his heart filled with emotion.

After years of diligent practice of the "Beast Taming and Spirit Communication Technique," I have finally condensed my first soul imprint. It was truly no easy feat...

He then slowly got up and left the cultivation room.

The surface of the spiritual spring rippled slightly, and upon sensing Chen Xu's presence, Xiao Jin immediately surfaced from the bottom of the water:

"Gurgle?"

Chen Xu squatted down, put his two fingers together, and the cyan mark reappeared, emitting a gentle yet mysterious aura.

"Little Jin, are you willing to enter into this contract with me?"

Xiao Jin seemed to be attracted by the blue light, and there was some doubt in his eyes.

It flicked its tail, splashing up a few drops of water, and exhaled a string of bubbles: "Glug? Glug glug glug?"

"What's that shiny thing? You two-legged fish, what trick are you up to now?"

However, it instinctively sensed that the light was not malicious; on the contrary, it felt a sense of closeness and a desire to get closer.

Chen Xu did not urge him, but simply maintained the soul imprint on his fingertips and waited patiently.

Finally, Xiao Jin seemed to have made up her mind. She gently swayed her body and slowly brought her forehead closer to Chen Xu's fingertips.

The cyan soul imprint suddenly shone brightly and instantly entered Xiao Jin's brow.

A moment later, Chen Xu felt that there was an additional connection between him and Xiao Jin.

"Glug glug? Glug glug glug glug!"

"What the hell are you doing, you two-legged fish? Give this loach something good to eat!"

This time, Chen Xu was finally able to fully understand what Xiao Jin was saying.

However, Xiao Jin's next words made Chen Xu's gaze gradually turn cold.

"You stinky two-legged fish, did you hear me?! Give this loach thirty delicious treats every day!"

"And this pond is too small, it needs to be bigger, otherwise I'm ignoring you!"

Xiao Jin became more and more excited as she spoke, looking as if she had finally taken control of the situation.

Chen Xu's initial joy at the successful signing of the contract vanished instantly.

He hadn't understood what Xiao Jin was saying before, so he hadn't paid any attention.

Now that he understood these words, Chen Xu had murderous intent in his heart.

The reason for entering into an equal contract is that one has no other choice but to use the "Beast Taming and Spirit Communication Technique" as the only method for taming beasts.

Secondly, it was out of respect for Xiao Jin's exceptional talent.

But this absolutely does not mean that you can tolerate your spirit pet lording it over you!

With this thought in mind, Chen Xu decided to teach Xiao Jin a profound lesson.

If it still doesn't know how to appreciate it, I wouldn't mind getting a different spirit pet.

"Hmph!" Chen Xu snorted coldly, and his divine sense, following the connection of the soul imprint, directly descended into Xiao Jin's soul.

Little Gold, who was frantically blowing bubbles, suddenly froze, its pupils filled with terror.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Xu's icy voice, like thunder from the heavens, exploded in its mind:

"If I hadn't spared no resources to help you cultivate, how could you, a mere mudfish in a wild pond, have achieved your current level of cultivation?"

"I've given you so many benefits, and this is how you get your insolence in return?"
