Proving Immortality Starting with Hextech Runes

With this thought in mind, Chen Xu chose the [Incense to Godhood Emblem] without hesitation.

Its emblem instantly transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into Xiao Jin's body.

A faint golden halo lingered on Xiao Jin's body for a moment before disappearing, as if nothing had happened.

Afterwards, Chen Xu put the sleeping Xiao Jin back into the spiritual spring, and his gaze was immediately drawn to the four dishes and one soup on the stone table.

He couldn't wait to sit down and start eating.

The pure spiritual energy, mixed with the fresh aroma, exploded on the taste buds, instantly soothing the boredom and fatigue brought on by cultivation.

"It smells so good..."

Just as Chen Xu was feeling satisfied, a wisp of unseen willpower emerged from his body and precisely entered Xiao Jin's body.

It's just a pity that ever since Qingling sent the Youth Preservation Pill last time...

She was then placed under strict surveillance by Qingyi under the pretext of practicing the "Spirit Fusion Technique".

He never came to see Chen Xu again, otherwise Xiao Jin would have received even more wish power.

Just then, Chen Xu suddenly sensed something.

He put down his bowl and chopsticks, poured out a small dish of leftovers, held it in his hand, and got up to walk out of the cave.

Outside the cave, a homing pigeon with glossy feathers landed on the mailbox next to the cave.

It tilted its little head, preparing to eat the nuts on the wooden box.

However, the moment Chen Xu came out with the porcelain plate, a fragrant aroma wafted over.

The homing pigeon's small eyes widened instantly, and it cried out incredulously a few times:

"Coo coo coo!?" (Is this... for me?!)

Chen Xu placed the porcelain plate on the mailbox and said with a smile, "Eat up."

"Coo!" (Thank you!) The carrier pigeon cheered and immediately began to peck at the ground.

With each bite of the spiritual food, it would squint its eyes, clearly extremely satisfied.

Over the years, this carrier pigeon has been delivering messages to Chen Xu.

As one of the few cultivators in the Cold Pine Sect who could understand the language of demonic beasts, Chen Xu was naturally favored by the carrier pigeons.

Even without any mail missions, it would occasionally wander around the vicinity of Chen Xu's cave.

But this time, a small bamboo tube was tied to its leg, clearly indicating that it had come with a mission.

However, Chen Xu did not immediately take the bamboo tube, but quietly watched the carrier pigeons enjoy the food, pondering in his heart.

The carrier pigeon is eating so happily; I wonder if it will provide Xiao Jin with some kind of blessing?

Let's ask Xiao Jin when she wakes up...

If it's feasible, then Chen Xu should consider sending the delicious food Xiao Jin made to the Meteor Sea to feed the fish.

This method of obtaining the power of wishes is both simple and inconspicuous.

However, if you have the opportunity, it would be better to open a restaurant.

While providing Xiao Jin with wish power, you can also earn some spirit stones...

After the pigeon finished eating, Chen Xu removed the bamboo tube from its leg and pulled out a slip of paper.

Unfold the note; it was unsigned.

But Chen Xu couldn't think of anyone else besides Wang Tiezhu whose handwriting was so distinctive.

The note essentially said: "If Junior Brother Chen wishes to leave Nanjiang after successfully establishing his foundation, I, as his senior brother, can find a way to assist you."

He conjured a flame from his fingertips, burned the note, and then prepared to return to his cave.

But at that moment, an invisible pressure descended without warning.

The carrier pigeon on the mailbox suddenly bristled its feathers and flapped its wings to fly away.

Chen Xu looked at Qing Yi, who had suddenly appeared in front of him, and quickly put on a respectful expression, cupping his hands in a salute: "Greetings, Master!"

At the same time, he cursed inwardly: What is this old Deng doing here again?

Qing Yi's body was terribly hunched over at this moment. His deep-set eyes swept over Chen Xu, and he nodded slightly, asking seemingly casually:

"How's your practice of the 'Spirit Fusion Technique' I gave you coming along?"

Chen Xu thought to himself: This old man is indeed testing me.

He gave me a fake cultivation technique, and his question now is simply to confirm whether I know the secret of the "Spirit Fusion Technique".

Chen Xu maintained a respectful posture, his tone tinged with shame:

"Reporting to Master, I am foolish and have been practicing diligently for over a month, but I still find this technique obscure and difficult to grasp. I have truly failed to live up to Master's expectations."

Qing Yi stared at Chen Xu for a moment, coughed a few times, and then slowly said:

"It's alright. This technique is inherently difficult and requires a high level of talent."

"Ling'er has some talent, and even with my personal guidance, she still hasn't mastered it."

"Do not be impatient or force things, lest you damage your foundation and ruin the important matter of foundation building."

"Disciple understands, thank you for your guidance, Master," Chen Xu quickly said.

After a moment of silence, Qingyi took out a pill bottle and threw it to Chen Xu.

"Cultivate diligently and strive to reach the Foundation Establishment stage as soon as possible; that would be the greatest way to repay your master."

He spoke the last few words very slowly, his deep-set eyes fixed intently on Chen Xu's face.

Chen Xu took the elixir bottle, his face instantly filled with gratitude:

"Thank you for your generous gift, Master! I will certainly do my utmost to live up to your expectations!"

He bowed deeply, his posture one of utmost reverence.

In his heart, however, this old man had died countless times.

A generous gift? If I hadn't already seen through old Deng's vicious nature, I would probably be deeply moved right now.

Seeing that Chen Xu's grateful expression was genuine, Qing Yi said no more and turned to leave.

Only after his figure had completely disappeared did Chen Xu slowly straighten up.

He scanned the pills with his divine sense, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

This time, there were actually six Foundation Establishment Pills in the bottle. After deducting the one that was to be sent to the Dark Pavilion for random inspection, there were still five left.

It's said that cultivators with four spiritual roots need to consume an average of ten Foundation Establishment Pills to have any chance of succeeding in Foundation Establishment...

Chen Xu's mind was racing. He had swallowed nine Foundation Establishment Pills in total.

With these five more... surely we can finally succeed in establishing our foundation?

Moreover, according to Qingyi, Qingling has not yet mastered the "Spirit Fusion Technique".

If I could successfully establish my foundation at this moment, then Qingling would not have suffered this calamity.

only……

Thinking of this, Chen Xu frowned slightly.

I'm not sure if what Qingyi said is true, so to be on the safe side, I should go and confirm it...

In seven days, a grand meeting will be held within the sect, supposedly related to some new relic.

At that time, Qingling should also emerge from seclusion, which will be a good opportunity to test her.

……

Seven days later, disciples from all peaks gathered at the main peak square of Hansong Sect.

Chen Xu stood in the crowd, his breath heavy and calm.

"Senior Brother Chen!" A clear voice rang out.

Chen Xu glanced sideways and saw Qing Ling walking quickly towards him.

"Junior Sister Qingling." Chen Xu nodded, his gaze lingering briefly on the warm jade hairpin in her updo.

Qingling noticed his gaze, and a faint blush rose to her ears.

Just then, a slightly enthusiastic voice chimed in:

"Brother Chen! What a coincidence, you're here too."

Chen Xu and Qing Ling turned their heads at the same time, only to see that Li Yuan had walked over at some point.

Li Yuan seemed not to see Qing Ling, his gaze fixed intently on Chen Xu, his tone tinged with apology:

"Brother Chen, I did not consider the matter of the entrance to the ruins before."

"Who would have thought that the godforsaken place would hide a random teleportation array?"

"I'm so sorry to have made you come all this way for nothing, Brother Chen!"
