Changsheng Xiuxian: I can see through everything

Chapter 353 Demon Sect Invasion (Please Subscribe)

"If the True Ones want to buy it, 50,000 Spiritual Stones will suffice."

Chen Xuan did not hide anything and took out the only four remaining top-grade foundation-building pills.

"Excellent. Brother Shui, we'll each have two."

Master Lu was a straightforward person and took it immediately.

The normal market price of a top-grade foundation-building pill in Medicine God Valley is fifty thousand spirit stones.

The Divine Sword Sect lacks high-level alchemists, but high-grade foundation-building pills are rarely seen in the surrounding areas.

For the sake of Master Zhang, Chen Xuan was happy to do a favor for his three fellow clan friends.

"You are such a good bastard! Do you still have eyes for me, your senior brother?"

"Brother, you are so powerful, how could you compete with us two useless junior brothers for such a low-level elixir? Don't make a fool of yourself!"

Master Lu smiled and stuffed a bag of spirit stones into Chen Xuan's hand.

Chen Xuan accepted the spirit stone, drank the spirit tea, and secretly observed his surroundings.

As expected, most of the cultivators of the Divine Sword Sect make friends with fellow sword cultivators.

Chen Xuan discovered that those sword practitioners who had achieved success in the way of the sword, just sitting there casually, exuded a heroic spirit.

Man is the sword, and the sword is man.

Ju Du has been cultivating swords for over a hundred years, achieving the state of seeking the truth through swords, and becoming one with the sword.

Most sword cultivators are determined and resolute people.

Chen Xuan opened his divine eye and saw not only the cultivators, but also the swords in cultivation.

It is difficult to attain enlightenment through sword!
Chen Xuan shook his head.

He lacks the courage to forge ahead and never give up.

Although the Pure Yang Sword Technique practiced by Chen Xuan is extremely powerful, its core is the Xuantian Pure Yang Gong that integrates all things.

It is not destruction, but fusion, integrating the laws of nature of all things into his swordsmanship.

The scale of this Dan-forming celebration was relatively small, and Master Zhang was relatively low-key.

In addition to celebration, the main purpose is to connect with friends and make connections privately.

Therefore, after the celebration, in a smaller circle, Master Zhang shared his experience in the process of forming the elixir and explained his own insights.

This is the biggest gain for Chen Xuan and others from attending the celebration.

Chen Xuan listened carefully and immersed himself in it.

He helped Master Zheng and Master Zhang condense fake pills twice, and not only gained favors from the two masters.

More importantly, when the two masters were forming their elixirs, he observed and experienced them closely, which would be of great benefit to his future breakthrough to the golden elixir.

……

After the Danjie celebration.

Chen Xuan said goodbye and returned to Wolong Island.

Once back on the island, he chatted with his wife, children and then went into seclusion to practice.

He wanted to integrate the experiences he had gained recently into his practice.

However, things always take unexpected turns.

"The Song Kingdom sect blocked the border?"

Looking at the sect's secret report brought by Zhou Liqi, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

This also means that a new war is about to begin.

"Li Qi, have you asked your great-grandfather? What is the reason?"

Lingyun City Lord Zhou Huaijing is a high-ranking member of the Jinyang Sect and should have accurate information.

"I've asked. My great-grandfather said that the six major demonic sects of Liang State, led by the Hehuan Sect and the Xueling Sect, suddenly declared an alliance. The higher-ups of the sects of Song State believe that Liang State could invade Song State at any time."

"So fast?"

Chen Xuan originally thought that it would take Liang State's Hehuan Sect and Xueling Sect 20 to 30 years to completely integrate the domestic demon sects.

After the Song State Sect blocked the border, Lingyun City Lord Zhou Huaijing sent a message to Zhou Liqi, asking them to be prepared.

"Call the elders for a meeting."

After a brief silence, Chen Xuan decided to inform the elders of the clan about the matter.

This kind of thing cannot be concealed for long. After some time, everyone will know about it.

But knowing in advance will have some benefits.

Su Zhengming, Jiang Yingxing, Li Pingan, Zhang Haibin, Wang Wenxing and others were also shocked when they learned that the Song State had blocked its border.

Chen Xuan asked them to be prepared and stockpile strategic supplies.

In particular, the Tianfu Chamber of Commerce, which Wang Wenxing is in charge of, should purchase and deliver a batch of Danfu materials as soon as possible.

After the meeting, Chen Xuan returned to the inner house and had dinner with his family.

With three wives, three sons and two daughters, the family is lively and harmonious, which is really rare.

Now, it is not yet time to fight for family interests, and everyone can still maintain superficial peace.

"Just wait and see what happens."

Chen Xuan thought about it and told his wife and children not to leave the village or the island in the near future.

Originally, Chen Xuan wanted to go back to Chen State to trade some second-level talismans.

But when the situation came to this point, he had no choice but to act cautiously and stay on the island.

"Fortunately, I have accumulated more than eighty bottles of Emperor's Fluid, which is enough for my strange insects to break through. If necessary, I can take some out to trade with the sea tribe."

Chen Xuan secretly rejoiced that he had always been prepared for danger and had a plan to deal with it.

"It's just a border blockade, and there's still some time before war. Even if Liang and Song go to war, they won't collapse so quickly and threaten the Dongshan Sea."

The Dongshan Sea area is located in the easternmost part of Song State, while Liang State is located in the west of Song State, and the two are the farthest apart.

With the strength of the seven major sects of Song State, they should be able to resist the Liang State Demon Sect for hundreds of years.

Sixty-four-year-old Chen Xuan quickly calmed down.

The most urgent thing is to practice with peace of mind and improve your own strength.

We must also maintain trade quotas with the Sea Demon King to make them dependent on us.

Various mortal craftsmen on Wolong Island also gradually moved to the deserted island to prepare for the future large-scale migration.

……

Two years later.

In the training room, Chen Xuan slowly finished his training.

Looking at the simple and unadorned small characters on the wordless Taoist scripture, which had hardly changed, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

He is now sixty-five years old and has been stuck at the fifth level of foundation building for five years.

According to his estimation, he would have to wait until he was seventy years old to break through to the sixth level of foundation building.

Things like spiritual practice cannot be rushed; it requires more patience and dedication.

In particular, what he practiced was the Xuantian Pure Yang Gong, which combines the five elements.

Of course, there are quick solutions.

Some elixirs can unleash potential and speed up cultivation.

However, these elixirs also have obvious side effects.

Not only will it cause erysipelas, it will also hinder future spiritual practice.

Chen Xuan only thought about it for a moment and gave up the idea of taking the elixir.

As his main skills progressed slowly, Chen Xuan improved his proficiency in changing his magical powers.

Now, he has mastered the seven kinds of magical powers, including water control and soul sensing, and has become proficient in the soul-stealing golden light, butterfly transformation and nirvana, scorpion tail poison hook, and yin and yang walking.

After thinking it over again and again, Chen Xuan temporarily gave up on the other magical powers.

After these seven kinds of magical powers are cultivated to perfection, they can greatly increase his fighting strength.

This requires him to constantly improve the quality of his strange insects and advance together with him.

However, the advancement of strange insects is several times more difficult than that of human cultivators.

Even a bloodline talent like the Lingqing Jiao consumes ten times the cultivation resources of a human cultivator to advance to the second-level intermediate grade.

The rest of the strange insects are all of the second-grade lower quality.

This is also the result of Chen Xuan having the Emperor Insect Immortal Cauldron, which provides a large amount of insect spirit essence and the flesh and blood of countless second-level sea beasts.

However, Chen Xuan's fighting ability has been recognized.

His spiritual consciousness, exerting the spiritual induction of the mastery level, can cover an area of thirty miles.

You should know that the spiritual awareness of ordinary cultivators who have reached the stage of perfect enlightenment is only two or three miles.

Moreover, his magic power is strong, three or four times that of his peers.

With the increase of magic power and spiritual awareness, the power of the magic weapon used by Chen Xuan far exceeds that of the foundation-building cultivators.

Even when exerting his full strength, he is only slightly weaker than the fake Dan Zhenren.

But it is also weak to a limited extent.

"It should be 70% of the power of an ordinary fake Dan Zhenren."

Moreover, Chen Xuan has a trump card.

Those are the hundreds of fine thunder talismans accumulated over the past two years.

If he used all his strength to activate more than a dozen fine thunder talismans, even the fake Dan Zhenren would have to retreat.

This is the basis for his survival!
Chen Xuan's hard power is not much worse than that of the fake Dan Zhenren!

In the Dongshan Sea, he is the undisputed number one cultivator.

Two months ago, the State of Liang officially declared war on the State of Song.

All six major demon sects were dispatched, threatening the Song State from the long border line.

Although no large-scale battles have been launched yet, vanguard squads and small-scale encounters continue to occur.

The seven major sects of the Song State forcibly recruited local independent cultivators and family members, and stationed them at the border under the leadership of their sect members.

There are still some benefits after Chen Xuan stands on Dai Hongjian's side.

For this expedition, the Jinyang Sect did not mobilize the monks from Wolong Island.

However, Chen Xuan also promised Dai Hongjian that he would concentrate on making the "Pure Yang Breaking Evil Talisman" and sell it to the sect.

In the past, a "Pure Yang Breaking Evil Talisman" only required fifty spirit stones.

With the invasion of the Liang Kingdom Demon Sect, the price rose to eighty spirit stones.

Chen Xuan still provides two hundred tickets to the sect every month at the price of fifty spirit stones.

It can also be regarded as a contribution to the sect's fight against the Liang Kingdom Demon Sect.

At this moment, on the border between Song and Liang, the armies of monks from the two countries were confronting each other.

As the top sect in Song State, Jinyang Sect was under tremendous pressure to compete with Hehuan Sect.

Even a sect like the Baihua Sect, which is dominated by female cultivators, had to face the Baigu Sect alone.

Yaoshen Valley is the only major sect that does not have to go to the front line, but it has to provide a steady supply of elixirs to the monks of the Song State.

At the beginning, in the small-scale confrontations in the wild, the cultivators of the Song State were not accustomed to the fighting methods of the demon cultivators, suffered repeated defeats, and had to stay in the city to defend it.

Among the foundation-building cultivators at the same level, the combat effectiveness of the demon cultivators is obviously much stronger than that of the spiritual cultivators.

In order to resist the invasion of the Liang Kingdom's Demon Sect, the Song Kingdom's sect had no choice but to continuously and forcibly recruit monks to join the war in the face of a tight situation on the front line.

This time, the gains and losses of the Song State and the foundations of all the major sects are at stake, so they have to take a tough stance and use ruthless tactics.

Once the conscription order is issued, there is no room for negotiation.

Anyone who disobeys will be charged with colluding with the evil sect.

In the mildest case, the spiritual veins will be deprived and the whole family will be kicked out; in the worst case, the whole family will be exterminated and the whole family will be massacred.

Some immortal cultivation forces that pretended to obey but actually disobeyed were severely punished.

Even Chen Xuan's supply of talismans increased from 200 to 300.

"I can't help it. The sect is under great pressure. I hope Brother Chen can understand."

The sect disciple who came to deliver the message said with an apologetic look on his face.

Three hundred "Pure Yang Breaking Evil Talismans" a month. Even if Senior Brother Chen has a 40% success rate in making talismans, he still needs to make more than three dozen every day.

There is no need to do anything else. I can only stay in the talisman-making room and make talismans every day.

It’s scary to think about it!
"Thank you for telling me, Junior Brother. I will do as you say."

After sending off the sect disciple who delivered the message, Chen Xuan looked at Zhou Liqi who had a worried look on her face.

"Don't worry, my husband has been prepared and has some stock on hand."

It's not a bad thing to just exploit him to do war logistics work.

In the past two years, he has never stopped making talismans, and he has four to five thousand of each type of talismans in stock.

Moreover, Chen Xuan's success rate in making talismans is very high, close to 100%.

While other second-level talisman masters could barely break even on the talisman-making tasks, he could make a huge profit.

"Husband, my great-grandfather sent me a letter asking you to provide some second-grade, top-grade spiritual talismans."

Zhou Liqi said rather embarrassedly.

Chen Xuan was stunned.

In this context of war, Lingyun City must also make preparations in advance.

"How many do you want?"

“I didn’t say how many, the more the better.”

Then Chen Xuan smiled.

"Tonight, I'll go to your room and we'll settle the accounts slowly."

Zhou Liqi's cheeks flushed.

That night, Chen Xuan and Zhou Liqi had an in-depth discussion.

Afterwards, the exhausted Zhou Liqi snuggled in Chen Xuan's arms.

"Husband, what should we do next?"

"Just wait and see what happens."

Chen Xuan pondered and said, "Increase the speed of relocating Wolong Island to the deserted island. Not only spaceships and warships, but also steamships can try to sail."

"A 100,000-mile ocean, with a steamship traveling at a speed of 100 miles per hour, a round trip would take more than half a year."

Zhou Liqi said after calculating.

"We have to try it sooner or later. It's better to try it sooner rather than later. Spaceships and warships alone can't relocate the millions of mortals on Wolong Island."

"I will obey my husband." Zhou Liqi didn't ask any more questions.

Chen Xuan had planned to move millions of mortals to a deserted island long ago.

That place does not belong to the Dongshan Sea, but is the territory of the Sea Monster King.

Neither the State of Yu nor the State of Liang dared to go there easily.

As for the monks on the island, it was much easier for them to retreat than for mortals.

"I guess I'm a good person."

Chen Xuan muttered softly to himself.

Holding Zhou Liqi in his arms, he slowly closed his eyes and rested.

Logically speaking, wars in the world of cultivation would not involve mortals.

But the enemy of Song State this time is the Demon Sect of Liang State.

Demonic cultivators are unreasonable.

In their eyes, there is no difference between mortals and lower animals.

No, there is a little difference.

The difference is that it can bring them more benefits.

This is also the reason why Chen Xuan vowed to resist the Demon Sect even at the cost of his life.

No matter what, he could not tolerate such disregard for human life happening under his nose.

Some low-level cultivators even fled to the secular world to avoid sect wars.

However, this method is only applicable to low-level cultivators.

In the secular world, spiritual energy is scarce and there are no spiritual veins for cultivation.

Over time, the cultivator's cultivation will not improve but will regress, his magic power will gradually dissipate, and he will become a mortal.

Moreover, hiding in the secular world is not safe.

All major sects have monks stationed in the secular world, and once a monk is found evading conscription, he will be severely punished.

after a few days.

Dai Hongjian came to visit in person.

He came this time for the sake of his own family and asked Chen Xuan to sell him some second-level talismans.

"The Dai family is also going to fight?"

"To be honest with you, Senior Brother Chen, this is already the third batch. Master has stated that all the cultivator families in the area must send people to the front lines."

Chen Xuan frowned.

"What's the situation like ahead?"

"It's not ideal, we can only guard the border."

Dai Hongjian sighed softly.

It is unknown how many of the more than one hundred cultivators from the Dai family who went on the expedition will be able to return.

"If it were someone else, Senior Brother would definitely not have any. Junior Brother Dai came here in person, so I have to squeeze out some for you."

Chen Xuan smiled and readily took out one hundred "Pure Yang Evil-Repelling Talismans", one hundred "Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Talismans", and thirty "Purple Sky Divine Thunder Talismans".

"By the way, I recently made a new kind of talisman. Junior Brother Dai, why not give it a try?"

Chen Xuan took out the "Earth and Wood Escape Talisman" that he had just learned to make.

Most of the foundation-building cultivators do not practice the art of escape.

This "Earth and Wood Escape Talisman" uses the land and trees to perform escape techniques and instantly move to a distance of thirty feet, making it very suitable for use on border battlefields.

After hearing Chen Xuan's explanation, Dai Hongjian's eyes lit up.

"This talisman is great! Senior Brother Chen, please sell me some more!"

Chen Xuan shook his head.

"This kind of escape talisman is not easy to make. I'm also new to it, so my success rate is not high. I only have fifty of them, so I'll sell them all to Junior Brother Dai."

The Pure Yang Evil-Repelling Talisman and the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Talisman cost fifty spirit stones each, the Purple Sky Divine Thunder Talisman costs three hundred spirit stones each, and the Earth and Wood Escape Talisman costs as much as five hundred spirit stones each.

In fact, the production of "Earth and Wood Escape Talisman" is easier than that of "Purple Sky Divine Thunder Talisman", and the raw materials are cheaper.

But this is an escape talisman, used to escape, and five hundred spirit stones are really not expensive.

Dai Hongjian handed the spirit stone to Chen Xuan.

"Brother Chen, please take care of it. I will come back in two months. Please leave some talismans for me."

"Easy to say."

After seeing Dai Hongjian off, Chen Xuan handed the spirit stone to Zhou Liqi.

"Li Qi, ask the city lord if he can find a way to sell us a second-grade, high-quality spaceship on Wolong Island."

Compared with water warships, airships have the disadvantages of high consumption and small load capacity, but with their faster speed and flexible attack and defense capabilities, they are more suitable for guarding Wolong Island.

Previously, Chen Xuan seized a ship from the Shenzhu Sect, but it was far from meeting the protection needs of Wolong Island.

"Okay, I'll ask my great-grandfather. But, since it's wartime now, I'm afraid the prices will start to go up."

"One million and two hundred thousand spirit stones, as long as the performance is good, second-hand ones are fine."

"Yes. I will make sure this matter is carried out."

……

Two months later, Dai Hongjian came again and told Chen Xuan some bad news.

The Chen family of Wolong Island also had to respond to the sect and recruit monks to go to the border front.

"I work day and night making second-level talismans for the sect, and I still can't be exempted from labor service?"

"There's nothing I can do. Master said that all the cultivator families are no exception. They all contribute to the sect. Some refine pills, some refine weapons, and cultivators are all recruited to serve."

Chen Xuan took the conscription order and looked at it for a while.

Fortunately, the number is not large, only two in the foundation-building stage and twenty in the late Qi training stage are needed.

"Master has already reduced the burden on the Chen family of Wolong Island as appropriate."

"Okay, but it'll take some time. I need to prepare."

"That's natural. I'll be leaving in three months."

During the war, the Song State sect opened up the exchange of military merits to the recruited monks and the monks who undertook logistical tasks.

Of course, the redemption rule is that the merits in front-line fighting are great, while the merits in logistics support are slightly lower.

Chen Xuan provides a large number of talismans every month, which can also be exchanged for a lot of military merits.

These military achievements are of little use to him.

If there is an ambitious cultivator, he would like to use it to exchange for spiritual veins.

The Yu brothers had bad luck in the last melee at Wutong Mountain, and their accumulated military merits could not be converted into a second-level spiritual vein.

This time, they must be going to join the war again.

really.

Upon hearing that Wolong Island had received the call, the Yu brothers were eager to fight and looked excited.

"The Pure Yang Evil-Repelling Talisman, the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Talisman, and the Purple Sky Divine Thunder Talisman. This is the Earth and Wood Escape Talisman, which is perfect for you."

"Fight if you can, run if you can't. Don't try to be brave. Tiger Sister is waiting for you to come home."

Chen Xuan gave earnest instructions.

According to his thinking, there was no need to go to the frontline battlefield and fight for life and death for the second-level spirit vein.

Even though they were good brothers, he was unwilling to interfere with the choices of the Yu brothers.

Everyone has his or her own destiny.

Chen Xuan tried his best to provide some security for the two of them.

"Hold on for a while, I will send Zhu Yao and others to replace you."

Chen Xuan’s idea was to rotate the personnel dispatched to Wolong Island.

For the next batch, he transferred Zhu Yao back from the deserted island and rotated with Zhang Haibin to lead the team.

……

Half a month later.

In the practice room.

Chen Xuan helped Liu Ruyan, whose face was rosy, out.

"Fairy Liu has made a breakthrough?"

Zhou Liqi, who was waiting outside, took a quick look with her spiritual sense and asked with envy.

"Sister Ruyan is in the middle stage of foundation building."

Chen Xuan replied indifferently.

In the past two years, Liu Ruyan has adapted to life on Wolong Island, living a secluded life and concentrating on practicing with her two disciples.

Occasionally, Chen Xuan would also look for her to ask about some matters related to formation practice.

"Thanks to Brother Chen for his help."

Liu Ruyan said shyly.

For some reason, every time she saw Chen Xuan, she felt inexplicably excited.

In the past two years, she has understood that Chen Xuan would not have any romantic feelings for her.

Just sworn siblings.

However, Liu Ruyan also let it go.

In fact, she had long been accustomed to living alone.

It would be a bit unnatural for her to get along with Chen Xuan.

"Alright. Sister Ruyan, when you return, consolidate your realm and recuperate."

"There is no need to rush into cultivation."

At Chen Xuan's signal, Zhou Liqi stepped forward, supported Liu Ruyan, and took her back to her own inner residence.

"Finally, I've put an end to a worry."

Chen Xuan pondered to himself.

After breaking through to the middle stage of foundation building, Liu Ruyan's lifespan was extended, her magic power and spiritual awareness increased, and she was able to make further progress in the art of formations.

This is also good news for him.

After all, Liu Ruyan's talent in formations is much higher than his.

With this ready-made mentor and helpful friend, it is much more convenient than for Chen Xuan to explore on his own.

Several days passed.

Zhu Yao returned to the island on a spaceship from the deserted island.

"Uncle, you better be careful!"

"Don't worry. I'm a poison cultivator, and I have a poisonous pet like the Red-Eyed Green Bamboo Snake by my side. I'll be fine."

Zhu Yao's red-eyed green bamboo snake is a top-grade first-grade snake with extremely strong venom. It only takes one bite and ten breaths to poison an ordinary foundation-building cultivator.

"Beachfront, you have to be careful too. This is not on the sea."

"I will."

Zhang Haibin said with a smile.

Both of them are veteran foundation-building cultivators with rich experience in fighting.

Chen Xuan asked them to each bring ten people in the late Qi training stage to replace the Yu brothers on the front line and return to the island.

Just a month ago.

The Song army was defeated by the Hehuan Sect on the front line, the border was breached, and they retreated thousands of miles.

A few days before that, the Blood Spirit Sect also defeated the Xuantian Sect and officially invaded the territory of the Song State.

The other four sects, seeing the Xuantian Sect and Jinyang Sect, which were leading the retreat, also retreated.

This also caused the Song State Sect and the Liang State Demon Sect to fight against each other.

The war spread to the territory of Song State, and everyone in Song State was terrified.

To this end, the Song Dynasty clan increased its recruitment efforts.

Chen Xuan was worried that the Yu brothers might be in trouble, so he transferred Zhu Yao and Zhang Haibin to rotate them out.

To this end, he did not hesitate to use a second-grade superior spacecraft.

With the cover of the spacecraft, the combat effectiveness of the Chen family's monk team increased sharply.

Jin Yangzong was of course happy to see this happen and readily agreed.

Chen Xuan personally met with the monks who were going to the expedition, and gave each of them a second-level talisman, elixir, and spirit stone to encourage them to win the battle.

Zhu Yao and Zhang Haibin led their men and flew away on the spaceship.

Behind him, Zhou Liqi handed over the latest front-line battle report.

"Since the beginning of the war, the Liang Kingdom's Demon Pill Patriarch has never taken action?"

"No, everyone is fighting against each other as Foundation Establishment cultivators."

Chen Xuan nodded slightly.

Liang State was only making a tentative attack.

The real main forces of the two countries have not yet appeared on the field.

Chen Xuan vaguely sensed that the major demon sects in Liang State all adopted the strategy of cannibalization, fighting and digesting the acquired spiritual vein populations to enrich the demon sect's own strength.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the Blood Spirit Sect and the Joyous Union Sect.

Their victory or defeat against the Xuantian Sect and the Jinyang Sect will determine the direction of the war between Liang and Song.

They are all a bunch of old foxes!
Chen Xuan cursed in his heart.

Then, he saw the Liang Kingdom Demon Sect extracting the essence and blood of the captured monks, extracting their souls and refining their spirits, and refining their corpses to absorb their essence, and his brows furrowed.

The Blood Spirit Sect’s main technique is to refine the blood essence of the monks.

The Hehuan Sect absorbs the essence of the cultivators.

As the war progresses, these demonic monks will be able to obtain more and more cultivation resources.

The same is true for the other Demon Sect monks.

In this way, the larger the scale of the war and the longer it lasts, the more disadvantageous it will be to the Song Dynasty clan.

Compared with the spiritual veins, the essence of flesh and blood and souls of these cultivators are the cultivation resources that the demon cultivators most urgently need.
