From a martial arts disciple to a god through countless trials and tribulations

Chapter 65 Repaying the favor
Under the cover of night, Chen Xuan ran quickly, remaining highly alert. His intuition told him that the woman and the horse were in danger.

Seeing this, Heima's eyes widened in disbelief. The other party turned around and ran away as soon as they saw them?

"Sword Fairy, are you a man-eating beast from the ancient times? You've done this three times in a row. The martial arts boy runs away as soon as he sees you."

Dark Horse said that she must have been too indifferent when they first met, which created a bad first impression.
The White Sword Fairy was stunned upon hearing this, recalling their first encounter, and asked doubtfully, "Really? It was snowing heavily, and the curtains were covering it, so he couldn't even see my face clearly."

Dark Horse smiled, but suddenly his expression changed, realizing something was amiss: "Very strange, the martial arts boy... has achieved immortality three times."

The White-robed Sword Fairy stared intently, equally surprised. Because the other party's Qi and blood were so powerful, reaching over 25,000 kilograms, with her level of cultivation and vision, it was easy to see the general situation.

The martial arts boy's advancement speed is too fast.

"It's him?"

Shen Jianqing followed the sight of the black horse and the woman in white, and saw the last bit of Chen Xuan's back. He recognized him and said in surprise:

"Senior Sister, I've seen this person before. He's quite powerful, and his aptitude is extremely high, only slightly inferior to mine... Today in Peach Blossom Spring, he represented the Southern Wilderness and used the Five Elements Qi to kill the Half-Step Daoist Masters of the Cui and Lu families, and took away the relics of the Shangyang Immortal."

Upon hearing this, Black Horse and the White Sword Fairy looked at each other with horror in their eyes, and were very shocked.

This news was shocking. They had witnessed Chen Xuan's desperate escape from Liuzhen on a snowy night. How long had it been? Just over a month! He had already reached the point where he had reached the Half-Step Daozang stage and killed two of them!
And practice the five elements of Qi.

The former is still understandable, but the latter is a bit shocking.

In just over a month, he cultivated the legendary Five Elements Qi from nothing. Even the most outstanding genius in the world couldn't do it!

Even the White-robed Sword Fairy, who was known as the "Sword Embryo" in the sect, was not sure that she could do it when she reached the Immortal Realm.

The black horse was struck by lightning, and immediately sent a message to the White-robed Sword Fairy, complaining loudly:

"I told you this martial arts kid would achieve great things, he definitely would! If you didn't believe me, and now that his talent is revealed, you'll regret it if those ghosts in the Southern Wasteland pick up this great treasure!"

They were the first senior cultivators to meet Chen Xuan, even before the Ghost Goddess of South Desolate Mountain!
The White-robed Sword Fairy swayed slightly, looking a little lost. She pursed her lips and replied:

"Master has already chosen someone, what right do I have to change him midway? Shen Jianqing's bone strength is close to nine thousand pounds, and he has the blood of the great creature Tao Hongchen, so he is naturally suited to the sword. The martial arts boy...that person is no match for Shen Jianqing, it's an obvious fact. Who could have expected that in just over a month, he would reach this point?"

She felt a little aggrieved for some reason, because if anyone else from the sect had come, the same result would have occurred.

Dark Horse's body flushed with excitement as he shouted, "That day I told you to take him in, but you refused. What's wrong with taking one more? You even talked big about fish and rivers, complaining about his temperament. Now, you don't want him, but there are plenty of people vying for him!"

The sword fairy in white opened her mouth, wanting to say something but stopping herself, only to find that she couldn't say anything, because... she had indeed made a mistake.

In the distant night, Chen Xuan's figure completely disappeared. No one knew where he went and he could never be found again.

"..."

Shen Jianqing stood like a pine tree, admiring the moonlight. He had no idea that a woman and a horse were having a heated conversation in private.

But he was very perceptive and soon discovered that they were extremely shocked after hearing about Chen Xuan's affairs, and he suddenly felt a little unhappy.

I thought: Even though he is a genius, how can he compare to me, Shen Jianqing? There is a huge gap!

Knowing the Five Elements of Qi is nothing.

If I didn't just cultivate Gold Virtue White Qi, but had the opportunity to specialize in the Five Elements Qi, as long as I practiced the most difficult Fifth Qi without error and successfully grasped it, I would have a 90% chance of achieving the legendary Five Elements Qi in just three to five years...

The opponent's physique is one point inferior to mine. He must have been practicing since childhood to achieve what he has today!

Shen Jianqing smiled, pointed in the direction Chen Xuan left, and said calmly to the White-robed Sword Fairy:

"Senior Sister, if you hadn't told me otherwise, I would have planned to kill this man with one sword in Peach Blossom Spring today, and take the Shangyang Immortal's relics and give them to you, Senior Sister."

Hearing this, Dark Horse turned around, glanced at him, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything... An interesting person.

The White Sword Fairy was also silent for a moment, sighed inwardly, and then sent a message to the black horse;

"What's done is done. The Sword Officer has no regrets. That person... never mind. Don't mention that person's affairs in front of Shen Jianqing in the future. I'm worried he can't bear the blow. Let him continue to be so 'confident'... The road is full of bitter cold. That person's temporary rise may not last. In the future, Shen Jianqing has a greater chance of leaving."

Dark Horse could only nod.

The white-robed sword fairy said these words calmly, exhaled lightly, and her chest trembled slightly, swaying with a beautiful scene.

Her expression was cold, and without turning back, she began to explain to Shen Jianqing behind her why they could not go down to seize the relics of the immortals:
"Today, there were no unusual signs of the Shangyang Immortal's relics in the sky. It must have been suppressed deliberately by the great ghosts of the Southern Wilderness. There must be something else going on."

"The Fire Emperor of Chu has lived for nearly four thousand years, and his lifespan is drawing to a close. A figure like him, a man with a unique place in history books, with lofty ambitions and a heart as strong as iron, he certainly wouldn't want to take the Heavenly Destiny Elixir refined by Xiao Qingtian. Therefore, in the end, he could only enter the ancient land where the immortals had hidden themselves and try his luck at achieving immortality through the ancient methods."

"But the last relic of the Shangyang Immortal was taken away by Nanhuang."

"Next, many major forces will try every possible means to curry favor with the Fire Emperor and ask for the Immortal Relics. It won't just be the Cui and Lu families. The Southern Wilderness will soon be in turmoil again. Perhaps a direct fight will break out. We don't have time to waste here."

Shen Jianqing was shocked when he heard this and exclaimed, "There is such a secret. Fortunately, my heart is firm and I didn't kill that young man from the Southern Wilderness. Otherwise, I would have caused a big disaster!"

Even if you manage to snatch the relics of the immortals, you will become the target of public criticism and may be besieged by many forces.

Shen Jianqing was a native of the ancient Chu State and knew the Fire Emperor's reputation. A descendant of the Jiang clan, the Fire Emperor had powerfully overthrown the previous dynasty and established the Chu State over 3,600 years ago. He was like a blazing sun across the sky, illuminating the world for 90,000 miles and suffocating hundreds of millions of cultivators.

But now, the hero is old and fading. Who will succeed him as emperor? Rumor has it that none of his descendants will ever achieve great things! The revelation of this devastating news would shock the entire world.

"..."

The sword fairy in white frowned slightly and looked at Shen Jianqing, whose face was pale with shock.

Fortunately, she is not the one who accepts him as a disciple because of his ordinary and confident character, but his aptitude is indeed good, so she will just make do with it.

……

……

The southern wilderness mountains.

Chen Xuan walked alone on the dark mountain road and finally came to the Xiaoshi Lake where the mountain treasure fish once lived.

"This is Senior Turtle's territory. It's very safe."

Chen Xuan looked around and decided to live in seclusion here. As soon as the next morning came, he would build a simple little house here.

I went through a lot today, including the battles in Peach Blossom Spring and the night trip to the Southern Wilderness, all of which consumed too much of my energy.

"Over 25,000 kilograms is the limit of my body."

Chen Xuan sat cross-legged on a rock, closed his eyes, rested, and felt the condition of his body.

Although he had cultivated several magic tricks in the Six Desire Heavens, which were later reflected in his mortal body, in fact, they did not increase the strength of the body's Qi and blood much.

Most of the feedback power turns into rich life energy and accumulates in the body, improving the internal organs and limbs. The skin becomes like jade, the hair becomes black and shiny, and occasionally a little white light flashes on the surface of the body, making the whole person look ethereal and otherworldly.

"The strength of Qi and Blood has reached its limit and won't change much, but the body is still improving and transforming, evolving towards a more peaceful and stable state."

Chen Xuan sensed the condition of his body, and then couldn't help but think to himself, "I've only learned a few more tricks, so the accumulated energy isn't much. But if I continue to learn tricks and scriptures, if ten isn't enough, I'll learn twenty, thirty, fifty... By then, will the enormous energy accumulated in my body break through the limits of my aptitude in one fell swoop?"

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Chen Xuan laughed and shook his head. "Let's not even talk about whether I can find enough magic tricks. Just the long time spent on cultivation alone is enough for me to complete a second chapter of the true scripture and form a kind of Taoist canon."

Moreover, if you fail, all this time will be wasted.

Chen Xuan laughed and shook his head, giving up on this unrealistic method: "The only way it can work is if Yan Yushu can be available at any time and cooperate with us wholeheartedly, but she really can't do that, so we can't force her."

"It would be great if there was a way to strengthen her physique. Well, if she advances to Daozang Great Cultivation, she should last longer."

The next day.

Chen Xuan was quick and agile. With the help of the power of immortal energy, he started to build a courtyard, as if he was going to live there for a long time.

The old turtle came over to take a look, stayed for a moment, and told Chen Xuan that he would take him to see the old fox friend who practiced red Qi in a few days to help him melt the useless ancient objects and cast them into a handy treasure.

a few days later.

The situation outside the Southern Wilderness was completely calm. Chen Xuan successfully built a small courtyard by the lake. He used white Qi to cut wood into boards and yellow Qi to gather sand into walls. It was very convenient and did not take much effort.

A few days later.

Chen Xuan calculated the time, it had been exactly ten days.

"It's time to contact Yan Yushu."

Just as he was about to use the communication talisman, an excited childish cry sounded from the woods.

"Benefactor! Benefactor!"

A red little fox excitedly jumped out from the woods and rushed to Chen Xuan's feet. It spun around like a pug, its eyes narrowed into crescents, and jumped up and said, "It's the little fox! The little fox brought his friends to play with you!"

"Crash!"

Four or five strange-looking monsters and ghosts followed closely behind, squeezed out from the woods, fell to the ground, and piled up into a colorful hill.

Chen Xuan focused his eyes slightly, then looked down at the little red fox named Bai Zi and scolded him, "I need to practice, go play by yourself."

A bunch of two or three-year-old little ghosts, all together not even as old as him, what fun is there? He is anxious to contact Yan Yushu to do serious business!

The little red fox quickly opened his arms and shouted, "Little Fox is here to repay my gratitude. I have great news for you!"
