Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 372 Gaining Knowledge
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xiao Qiang remained calm and flew straight towards the Fushan Changhe formation.

The moment she appeared, Lian Fangyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, trying his best to conceal his infatuation. He suddenly turned around and said loudly:
"Yu Wenshan is indeed quite impressive. Fairy Xiao is not to blame for this. You all don't need to worry. I'm still a top-tier expert on the sixteenth floor. If I could defeat him once, I'm sure I can defeat him twice!"

"it is good!"

"Mr. Lian is truly the number one prodigy in Beiyuan. This confidence alone surpasses others by a long shot!"

"Mr. Lian has a deep affection for his wife, and he and Fairy Xiao are truly a perfect match!"

……

His clear voice immediately caused everyone to applaud, and some even talked about how well matched he and Xiao Qiang were!

However, as soon as these words were spoken, except for Lian Fangyuan, whose eyes flashed with joy, everyone else frowned and looked at the person who spoke with hostility.

Although they knew they were not worthy of Fairy Xiao, they couldn't help but feel unhappy when they heard such words.

But no matter what others said, Xiao Qiang seemed not to hear them. She slowly lowered her light and nodded to Chen Mu and his group.

"Senior Sister Xiao, the Man with the Golden Spear..."

Two young disciples could not contain their doubts and wanted to ask immediately, but were stopped by Chen Mu and the man in the scarf.

The two looked at each other, smiled and nodded.

It’s better not to talk about such things in front of others, especially since Feixing Taoist Palace is nearby. It’s not too late to talk about it after you go back and close the door.

"Senior Sister Xiao, this is Senior Brother Chen Mu, the eldest disciple of Master Zhuang... We are all new disciples of the sect, and we have come to help our fellow disciples."

The man in the silk scarf laughed and did not mention the Man with the Golden Spear. Instead, he introduced Chen Mu.

Chen Mu didn't act pretentiously and immediately bowed and said, "Chen Mu greets Senior Sister Xiao."

"So you are the talented disciple of Uncle Zhuang. I have long admired you." Xiao Qiang's expression remained unchanged. She nodded slightly and said no more.

Seeing that she was not in the mood to talk, Chen Mu stopped talking and stood quietly aside waiting for others to arrive.

The crowd gathered in groups of two or three, chatting constantly. Amid the noise, one genius after another on the list flew out of the mouth.

Tang Tianrui of Feixing Dao Palace, Mao Xiaohua, a cultivator from the East Sea... Lu Ziyu and Fang He of Fushan Changhe...

Chen Mu had met Fang He once, but this was the first time Lu Ziyu had met him.

When he first saw this person, he found that he was extraordinary. He was smart but motionless. He held the peach blossom fan in his hand and opened and closed it, which made him look very elegant. This attracted many female cultivators to exchange glances with him. He accepted all of them and returned their affection with his eyes.

As a result, many female practitioners joined in.

"Lu Ziyu...is a sentimental person."

He muttered inwardly, and just then the man in the silk scarf finished his introduction. He bowed and said, "Brother Lu, I've heard a lot about you."

Lu Ziyu's temperament was much better than Xiao Qiang's. Upon hearing this, he smiled and greeted Chen Mu.

Fang He slowly calmed down at this time. When he saw Chen Mu's figure, his eyes narrowed, and he looked quite surprised.

Actually, there is not much interaction between them.

It was simply because of the incident on Lanzhi Island that Fang He was a little concerned. He even went to Yunze Island in person, wanting to compete with Chen Mu. Unfortunately, Chen Mu happened to be out in the East China Sea to pick up Gao Xiaoqing, so he was disappointed.

As time went by, Ding Shu from Lanzhi Island never invited Chen Mu again, so he gradually forgot about it.

After all, he prides himself on his status as a Taoist priest, and the people he interacts with are people like Xiao Qiang. How could he care about Chen Mu for a long time?

This is even more so at this time. He is now a genius on the Earth List. Ten days ago, he defeated his opponent and entered the thirteenth level of the trial. He is expected to enter the top ten. He no longer takes Chen Mu seriously.

After seeing Chen Mu and Lu Ziyu chatting and laughing, he raised the corners of his mouth and joined in, saying with a smile: "So it's Junior Brother Chen who came... Well, all the geniuses of Beiyuan are gathered here, it's good for Junior Brother to come and broaden his horizons." Although he was talking about Chen Mu, his mind was on Lu Ziyu, and the smile on his face looked particularly sincere.

Lu Ziyu's smile faded, and after a slight nod, he turned around and walked to stand next to Xiao Qiang.

Seeing this, a trace of annoyance flashed across Fang He's eyes. He was almost in the top ten of the Earth List, but Xiao Qiang, Lu Ziyu and the others still looked down on him. It was really hateful!

"How dare you treat me like this? When I reach the top of the Earth Ranking and seize the inheritance, I will make you kneel down and speak to me!"

His eyes flickered, and Chen Mu sneered inwardly, then slowly said, "Brother Fang is right. I did come here to broaden my horizons, but I can't compare to you, my top ranking on the Earth Ranking..."

However, there are so many geniuses here, so you must work hard to maintain your current position. In this way, even if you fail to seize the inheritance in the end, you can still receive rewards from the master, which will make others envious! "

"Keep your current position?" Fang He's eyes turned cold. What does that mean? Are you cursing me for not making progress and standing still?

He snorted coldly and was about to scold, but was interrupted by Xiao Qiang unexpectedly.

However, he noticed the subtlety between the two of them, frowned, and felt even more unhappy. He immediately sent a message to the two of them to keep quiet so as not to be made a laughing stock by others.

Chen Mu had no objection. He smiled slightly and closed his eyes to rest.

Fang He, however, was even more furious, his face livid as he turned away, causing those who were unaware of the situation to speculate, thinking he had also been defeated by someone else...

After a while, Xu Jingyang, the last person in Fushan Changhe, also flew out of the valley and landed near Chen Mu.

"Junior Brother Chen, it's you who came?"

He raised his eyebrows slightly and a surprised smile appeared on his face.

Chen Mu nodded and smiled as well, "It's been a few years since we last met. Senior Brother Xu's cultivation has become even more profound."

This is not a compliment, but after investigating with his spiritual sense, he discovered that Xu Jingyang is already approaching the peak of the late stage.

Such a speed is extremely astonishing even with the help of the remaining flower spirits of Lycoris radiata. It can be seen that he has gained a lot of benefits from the trial.

Xu Jingyang waved his hand and whispered, "If you had come with me, your name would definitely be on the list!
It's a pity that we're already halfway through the process, and it's no longer easy to catch up."

Chen Mu pursed his lips and chuckled, without refuting, and turned to leave with the crowd.

However, all the disciples of Fushan Changhe have come out of retreat, so there is no need to wait here any longer.

……

Not long after, the group returned to the mansion, and the Jindan uncle masters who were on the Heavenly List were already waiting there.

The trial they participated in was different from that of the foundation-building cultivators, and the place of exit was also different, so there was no trace of the golden elixir just now.

"Xiao Qiang...paying respects to the three uncles."

Everyone saluted in unison.

A total of three Jindan Zhenren came to Fushan Changhe, two men and one woman.

Coincidentally, the female cultivator had some connection with Chen Mu. She was the previous owner of Yunze Island, Zhenren Su Yao.

"Junior Brother Xiao, I heard that you were defeated by a monk from the Western Desert. Is that true?"

Among the three, a young and handsome man asked, his expression showing no joy or sadness.

Xiao Qiang frowned slightly, but she didn't try to hide her feelings after hearing this. She nodded and said, "My disciple... was indeed defeated by the Man with the Golden Spear."
