Chapter 123: A True Man Who Eats Free Rice, Chen Shusheng Has a Blood Soul Immortal Body
Fairy Hongye looked at Chen An with eyes as clear as autumn water and said, "The Jindan cultivators in Dongzhou have always had a tradition of holding a Jindan Conference every fifty years. They invite all the Jindan cultivators under the age of 200 from the entire Dongzhou righteous path to come and discuss the Dao and exchange ideas."

"I came here today to bother you because I was asked by Master Qingshan to invite you to attend."

Chen An also heard a little about the Golden Core Conference when he was communicating with other Jindan people.

It is said to be a competition, but over the years, although the Jindan Conference cannot represent the true strength of the major sects, it actually involves their respective faces, and each sect attaches great importance to it.

Chen An didn't like this kind of exchange that had no practical benefit, and shook his head and said, "I'm at an important juncture in my cultivation recently. I'm afraid I'll disappoint the fairy and can't go."

What does the reputation of the six regions of the Far East have to do with him?

Fairy Red Leaf was surprised and said, "Daoyou, please think twice. The six regions of the Far East are not like the righteous paths in the heart of Dongzhou. The Jindan cultivators there are like carp crossing the river, and their level is far higher than that of the six regions of the Far East. This is a rare opportunity to increase your knowledge."

"Moreover, due to the Ji Yin Sect's reasons last time, the Far East Six Regions were unable to participate. The Lihuo Palace attaches great importance to this exchange opportunity."

Chen An had contacted Xin Fenghai many times and heard about the bad relationship between the Six Regions of the Far East and the righteous path of Dongzhou.

I'm afraid that Patriarch Lihuo is taking this opportunity to try to ease relations with the righteous sects in Dongzhou and recruit external aid to deal with the Jiyin Sect.

Chen An thought for a moment and suggested, "How about this? I will send Chen Kebao from the Chen family to help the Six Regions of the Far East."

Chen Kebao has been practicing in Kuxiu Mountain for many years and seldom went down the mountain. Now he has just formed a pill and has mastered two magical powers under the guidance of Chen An. He just took this opportunity to go out and gain some experience.

"Okay." Fairy Red Leaf hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

The six regions of the Far East are always at the bottom, and having one more Jindan cultivator won't help much. Besides, the purpose of this time is not a victory for face. Even if they lose, as long as the task is done, the Lihuo Palace will not say anything.

But if things can't be done, it's useless even if you get first place, so the point is not to discuss the truth.

Chen An's face straightened, and he said solemnly: "But let's make it clear first, Chen Kebao, you must come back the same way you left. If you lose even a hair, I will destroy your Qingyun Sect!"

Outside the Kuxiu Mountain, a majestic atmosphere like that of the deep ocean hits you in the face.

The Red Leaf Fairy’s pretty face turned pale, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she even had trouble breathing.

The waves in front of her rose and fell violently, and she said hurriedly: "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Chen, this time it is the Lihuo Patriarch who will personally escort us, there will be no loss."

Since he was being led by a Nascent Soul cultivator himself, Chen An felt relieved.

He then asked some questions related to the Golden Core Conference, and intentionally or unintentionally inquired about the other party's understanding of the map.

It was discovered that Fairy Red Leaf did not know that this was the secret treasure of a Nascent Soul cultivator, and she only thought it was at most at the Core Forming stage. This also made Chen An understand why the other party sent it to him in exchange for a Soul-Replenishing Pill.

After a long time.

Chen An sent the other party away, returned to the cave, took out the five maps, and put them together. It showed that the location of the secret treasure was in the heart of Dongzhou, near Taixu Sect, one of the three major leaders of the righteous path.

He still had doubts before, but after searching Le Dayong's soul, Chen An finally understood the cause of the whole incident.

The secret treasure on this map is indeed a cave of a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, but it is quite old.

According to the information from Lihuo Palace, the remains of this cave are at least five thousand years old. Even if the treasures inside are well preserved, a lot of spirituality is bound to be lost.

Its value is not as great as it seems. To put it in extreme terms, its value is only equivalent to that of a Jindan-level cave. No wonder Cui Shuosheng would use it as bait.

Wu Jianquan and his companions lured Chen An over and took the opportunity to take control of Kuxiu Mountain, which was just a sudden idea of ​​Cui Shuosheng.

Chen An estimated that Cui Shuosheng might not have expected that he could directly break the Four Symbols Sword Formation formed by the other four.

But no matter who dies, it will be beneficial to Cui Shuosheng.

It is not uncommon in the world of immortal cultivation to harm fellow disciples for the sake of their spiritual path.

However, Chen An did not care about the value of this cave. No matter how valuable it was, he would not go to explore it easily.

Turning around, Chen An told Chen Kebao about the Golden Elixir Conference and asked him to prepare well.

For Chen Kebao, this is also a rare opportunity for training.

Half a year later, Chen Kebao left with Qingyun Sect and headed for the heart of Dongzhou.

With the leadership of Ancestor Lihuo, Chen An was not worried about safety issues. Even if the relationship between the six regions of the Far East and the righteous forces of Dongzhou was not very good, there would not be a big fight between the Nascent Soul cultivators.

Not long after Chen Kebao left, a Jindan aura approached from outside Kuxiu Mountain. The key point was that this aura was very unfamiliar and had never been seen before.

Chen An's heart moved, and without disturbing others, he went to the foot of the mountain himself.

A graceful figure in palace dress came towards me, her face was cold and beautiful, like a cold flower on an iceberg.

Chen An frowned slightly and asked, "May I ask why fellow Taoist came to my mountain to practice hardship?"

The other person looked unfamiliar and did not seem to be a Jindan cultivator from the Qingyun Domain.

The woman in palace dress frowned slightly, glanced at the stone tablet at the foot of the mountain, and murmured, "Kushuxiu Mountain? This name is really boring."

She then asked, "I am Xu Hanyun from Lihuo Palace. Do you know where my senior brother Xin Fenghai is?"

When the other party said this, Chen An understood. It turned out that she had come to Qingyun Region to look for her husband.

Chen An bowed and smiled, "So it's Fairy Xu. I've often heard Daoist Xin mention you."

Immediately, Xu Hanyun was told Xin Fenghai's garrison location, and he left in a hurry.

Chen An looked at the other party's leaving figure and sighed in his heart. The relationship between these brothers was really complicated.

"Junior sister! Why are you here!" Before Xu Hanyun had gone far, Xin Fenghai flew over from another direction.

When the two met, they were inseparable and hugged each other passionately.

Chen An naturally had no intention of watching them linger, so he turned around and went back to Kuxiu Mountain. When he was about to step into the formation, he suddenly felt several auras of magical weapons flash from behind.

He was startled and looked back, only to see Xu Hanyun handing Xin Fenghai several magic weapons, some of which were fine quality ones.

"Senior brother, Cui Shuosheng forced you to come here just to separate us. I'm afraid he might do something bad to you, so you should keep these magic weapons for self-defense." Xu Hanyun said worriedly with watery eyes.

"Junior sister, what are you doing in public? Put it away quickly!" Xin Fenghai was happy and afraid, and glanced at Chen An with fear on his face.

His junior sister is good in every way, except that the master protects her too well and she doesn't know how treacherous people can be.

Who would have thought that Xu Hanyun's pretty face turned cold, and she said unhappily: "What? Am I wrong for me to care about you?"

"Junior sister, that's not what I meant. Hey, don't leave, junior sister. Let me explain."

Chen An watched the two people chasing each other, smiled softly, and ignored them. He was not a devil who would snatch away any treasure he saw.

He immediately turned back to the spiritual field, came to the pool, and looked after the spiritual plants.

Hundreds of heavy water lotuses were growing proudly in the water. A lot of water dew had condensed on the lotus leaves, and under the sunlight, it was crystal clear. Chen An waved his hand to take it and put it into the jade bottle.

These condensed Yuanshui dews are two hundred years old. According to common sense, they are completely sufficient for the cultivation of cultivators in the late Jindan stage.

But as his cultivation level increased, Chen An felt that the Yuan Shui Lu of this year could no longer keep up with his progress.

Fortunately, with the ability to call the wind and rain, it is not difficult to ripen the fruits quickly, and the years can be increased slowly.

Time flies, and one year has passed.

Recently, Chen An discovered that Chen Qing seemed to often appear in the second-level spiritual land and seemed to be practicing very hard.

Ever since Chen Qing handed over the affairs of the Black Wind Market to Chen Dazhuang and Chen Zishun, most of the family affairs were also handed over to Chen Duoduo.

With the Chen family's massive resources and his miscellaneous spiritual roots, Chen Duoduo managed to reach the foundation-building stage. But if he didn't have too much luck, his journey would have ended there.

Chen Qing himself was not burdened with too many affairs. Perhaps because he saw so many people in the clan building the foundation, he gradually felt pressure and began to return to cultivation.

Chen An was also happy to see this happen. In the past few years, Chen Rui and Chen Lun passed away one after another, and he didn't want to see the lifespan of the familiar people around him approaching the end of their lives again.

Taking into account Chen Qing's contributions to the family over the years, his hard work and the creation of the Black Wind Market, Chen An allowed him to enter the third-level spiritual land in Xishan to practice.

No one else had any objection to this decision. After all, everyone could see Chen Qing's contributions over the years.

A few more months passed.

On this day, the black-haired beast lying in the cave suddenly jumped up, roared, and ran out of the mountain.

Soon, he took Chen Kebao into the cave.

Seeing his dejected look, Chen An asked with a smile, "Why, did you see the young talents of Dongzhou, or did you meet a peerless fairy?"

Chen Kebao sighed and said, "After a trip to the heart of Dongzhou, I realized that our Far East Six Regions are really too small."

Chen An was not surprised. The six regions in the Far East were isolated in a corner and were far inferior to the entire East Continent.

Among the three leading figures of the righteous path alone, each of their sects has at least one late Nascent Soul cultivator, and the territories under their sects are comparable to several of the six regions in the Far East. There are also many remaining Nascent Soul sects, and the weakest of them is about the same as the Lihuo Palace. As for the other Jindan sects, they are too numerous to count.

These were all what Chen An told Chen Kebao before he left, but knowing is one thing and seeing it with one's own eyes is another.

“That’s nothing. Among the cultivators who went with me, I saw a Chen family cultivator from the Lihuo Region who had reached the Jindan stage!” Chen Kebao said sternly.

"The Chen family from Lihuo Territory formed a pill?"

Chen An suddenly remembered that when he was building his foundation, the old man seemed to have mentioned to him that a considerable number of members of the Chen family were sent to other domains by the old man.

It seemed that things were going well, but the old man passed away not long after, and Chen An no longer cared about it.

After that, Chen Qing was entangled in family affairs and external crises and rarely interacted with him.

Chen An couldn't help but ask: "How strong are they?"

"It seems that he is not weak. His name is Chen Shusheng. He formed the Dan earlier than me. He just looks sickly and looks like he will fall down if the wind blows. He should not be a concern."

Upon learning that the Chen family in Lihuo Territory also had a Jindan, Chen Kebao's joy at having just achieved Jindan disappeared. He said worriedly, "I heard that there is another Jindan in their clan, and his cultivation has reached the middle stage of Jindan."

After saying that, he looked at Chen An and his expression relaxed a little. Although the opponent was strong, Chen An's cultivation was even more unfathomable, so he should not be overwhelmed by the opponent.

Chen An nodded and said, "Don't worry about them. After so many years, it's hard to guarantee that they don't have a thousand connections with the Lihuo Palace. It's better to avoid contact if possible."

Chen Kebao looked a little strange and said, "They said that the two families have not been in contact for many years. In order to prevent the relationship from becoming estranged in the future, they will come to Kuxiu Mountain to visit soon."

"visit?"

Chen An sneered and said, "I'm afraid the Lihuo Palace may have been behind this, but let them be, they won't cause any trouble."

Chen Kebao reported his itinerary and said goodbye.

"Wang Wang!"

Just after leaving the cave, the black-haired beast suddenly bit the corner of Chen Kebao's clothes and pestered him to stop him from leaving. The latter threw a second-level spiritual medicine to it, and then it let go and took the spiritual medicine back to the cave.

Chen Kebao smiled helplessly and said, "You guys are really getting more and more hungry. Sooner or later, you will die of overeating."

"Wang!"

As if hearing what he said, the black-haired beast in the cave responded unhappily.

Sure enough, within two months, two Jindan masters from the Chen family in Lihuo Domain came to visit.

After all, they were of the same clan, so Chen Qing and Chen Kebao went to meet each other.

What was surprising was that the two men also brought with them several foundation-building cultivators and many Qi-cultivating cultivators, saying that they wanted them to trace their roots and return to "Yunwu Mountain".

This move without any reason must have been instructed by Cui Shuosheng.

Fortunately, Chen Qing was not an ordinary person either. He used the reason that his family was undergoing recent restructuring and was unable to accept him, so he let him settle down in a nearby mountain and detained him first.

On a low hill, a middle-aged monk looked out at Kuxiu Mountain, the shock in his eyes lingering for a long time.

"I never thought that in just two hundred years, the people on the mountain have developed to a level that is no weaker than us. I can't imagine what the future will be like." Chen Weiyang sighed.

Being in the Lihuo Region, with abundant resources, it is not easy for the family to have two Jindan masters. I didn't expect that the Chen family, which is located in the barren Qingyun Sect, has developed so rapidly. No wonder Cui Shuosheng sent them here to distract the other party's attention.

Chen Shusheng's face was pale and bloodless, and he said weakly: "Ahem. Even so, it is just a cultivation family that can be manipulated by the Lihuo Palace at will. If you don't have a Nascent Soul, it will be in vain."

"Nascent Soul? How easy is that?"

Chen Weiyang felt distressed when he saw that he looked like he was short of energy and blood. He said, "But I still didn't meet Chen An on this trip. I heard that he is proficient in the way of spiritual plants. Maybe he can solve the problem of the Blood Soul Immortal in you."

"It's been so many years, there's no need to rush. Even the Lihuo Patriarch doesn't have a good solution to this. I don't think Chen An will have any solution either."

Perhaps feeling exhausted, Chen Shusheng held onto the tree trunk next to him and sat on the stone behind him.

"No matter what, we have to give it a try. If we can't remove the Blood Soul Immortal in your body in time, no matter how hard you try, you won't live for more than twenty years."

Chen Weiyang watched his grandson become thinner and thinner, and his physical condition became worse and worse. As a grandfather, he felt really distressed.

He had already lost a son in the last battle between good and evil, and he didn't want to lose his only relative again.

"It seems that Chen An may have guessed our intention and doesn't want to take us in, so we still have to break through Chen Qing and the other two and see if we can ask them to let us meet Chen An."

Chen Weiyang sighed and looked in the direction of Kuxiu Mountain with a thoughtful look on his face.
