Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 740 One Day

The State of Zhao is above the clouds.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, its light is like gauze or mist, covering the whole sky. Occasionally, the sound of whistling wind can be heard faintly from outside the spirit boat, making the night even more quiet.

However, inside the spirit boat which was over a thousand feet in size, the lights were bright and the sound of loud laughter could be heard everywhere.

This trip was made by a group from the State of Zhao. After settling the incident at Mingyou Lake, the people from the six sects returned to the mainland together.

Deep in the cabin, Chen Mu sat at the head, accompanied by Xuan Ji and others.

It wasn't that he was deliberately putting on airs as a Nascent Soul cultivator, but Xuan Ji and the others asked him to do so, so he just went along with it and sat down.

After three rounds of drinks, Master Xuan Ji said let’s get back to business.

"Chen Shangzhen, the Mu Nation knows they are in the wrong, so they are taking the initiative to sign an alliance with us and jointly worship you as the ancestor of both countries. What do you think, Shangzhen?"

He had a smile on his face, and it was obvious that he was very satisfied with the compensation proposed by Mu Guo.

Chen Mu smiled slightly and said softly, "I have no intention of staying in Zhao for long to cultivate. You can save the two countries' ancestors for now. As for how to form an alliance with Mu Country, you are free to discuss it together."

Although there were often disagreements and disputes among the six clans of Zhao State, on the whole, they were able to work together, which saved him a lot of effort.

Hearing this, Xuan Ji and others bowed and agreed. Except for the real person surnamed Qin from Shuiyunjian, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially Ma Yuanbai from the Golden Light Valley. When Chen Mu's realm was still low, he had often antagonized Shui Yunjian. So he was afraid that Chen Mu would settle the score later. Out of fear, he was always on edge the whole way...

Chen Mu was aware of this and shook his head with a smile, saying, "I haven't been back in the mountains for decades, and the scenery in Zhao remains the same. Seeing it reminds me of people. Master Ma, why don't you see He Shan and the other old acquaintances?"

Ma Yuanbai's heart trembled, and he quickly bowed and replied, "How could he not be able to see the Supreme Being in person? He was unable to come because he was polishing his foundation..."

He Shan was a disciple of Jin Guang Valley who was quite prominent in the six sects' competition caused by Jin Guang Valley's plan to seize the Shuiyunjian resources. He mentioned him here to give him a warning.

Chen Mu stopped there, nodded slightly and said no more.

Seeing this, Xuan Ji and others understood and bowed to take their leave.

After they left, old acquaintances such as Chu Li, Zheng Hua and others came in to visit him one after another, and Chen Mu nodded to them one by one.

Now the gap between their realms was too great. Even though he was approachable, Zheng Hua and the others did not dare to joke around like before.

So after a quick visit, he took his leave.

Chen Mu didn't say much. When Zong Bing was about to turn around, he frowned and called her softly, "Master Zong Feng?"

Zong Bing paused, bowed, and asked, "Does Chen Shangzhen have any instructions?"

Chen Mu shook his head and asked, "With your talent, forming a pill shouldn't be a problem. Why are you still at the stage of perfecting your foundation?"

When he was practicing Taoism at Tianhu Peak in the past, Zong Bing took good care of him. If he had any difficulties, he would of course help him.

Zong Bing was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said with a smile: "Chen Shang really thinks highly of me."

At this time, Niu Dali coughed lightly and scratched his head, saying: "Actually, the reason is me..."

Chen Mu's heart moved, and he asked, "Where did you get it from?"

Niu Dali waved his hand and laughed, "At that time, there was only one Jindan spiritual object in the sect, and Zong Feng's master gave the opportunity to Jindan to me."

Zong Bing added, "I know I'm not as strong as you. If I continue to force it, it won't be good for either you or me..."

Chen Mu sighed inwardly upon hearing this. The resources of the Zhao State were just like this. If they were placed in Central Continent, how could the Jindan Sect be in such a situation where it lacked spiritual objects for forming the elixir?

He collected his thoughts, smiled calmly, and said, "That's easy to say."

He waved his robe sleeve, and several rays of spiritual light flew towards Zong Bing. "Master Zong Feng, with your talent, you shouldn't be limited to the Foundation Establishment stage. Here are several Jindan spiritual objects. Please choose and use them. I hope that by the next time we meet, you will have achieved the status of a True Immortal."

Zong Bing was suddenly stunned and stood there silently, but her tightly pursed red lips revealed the joy and emotion deep in her heart.

The Jindan spiritual object is nothing to Chen Mu, but in the eyes of his fellow Taoists in the State of Zhao, it is a rare treasure.

She had never imagined that the kindness shown to her back then would be repaid in this way...

"Junior Brother Chen..."

Her mind lost for a moment, she actually muttered the name she remembered. Fortunately, she reacted quickly, waved her hands hurriedly, and said in a hurry: "Ah no, Chen Shangzhen, thank you very much, Shangzhen!"

As she said this, she was about to pay her respects with great ceremony. The grace of the Great Dao was enough to withstand any etiquette.

But as soon as she moved, she felt a gentle force supporting her body.

Looking up, he saw Chen Mu smiling and saying, "Such a generous gift, isn't it strange?"

Zong Bing's heart softened again, and he quickly lowered his eyes and nodded, but he was afraid that the person in front of him would see through him.

Chen Mu glanced at him for a few times, then smiled and turned to Niu Dali and said, "Let me tell you about you. When I left, weren't you clamoring to travel around Beiyuan? How come you never came to look for me once?"

Niu Dali shouted "Hi" and waved his hand, "That was when I was young. I always thought I was the best in the world, so I naturally wanted to travel around and fight all the talented people in the world. But over time, this idea disappeared..."

Zong Bing said from the side, "Actually, it was because of Master Shifeng's dying wish that Master Niu would protect the sect that he calmed down."

"Master Shifeng?"

Chen Mu's heart moved, and he thought of Shi Xin, the master of Dutian Peak.

This person has always cared for Niu Dali and treated him like his own son or nephew. It's no wonder that Niu Dali obeyed his dying words...

Niu Dali smiled and said jokingly, "Master Zongfeng, you are wrong. Don't I know how strong I am, Old Niu?

In this life, I can only reach the Golden Core Realm. In Zhao State, I can still satisfy my ancestor's desire. If I run away, with my temper, I will be beaten to death at will."

He spoke a lot of nonsense and no one knew what he was explaining.

But as he spoke, the smile on his face finally disappeared, and he sighed deeply and said no more.

Shi Xin was both his teacher and his father to him, and he was truly far beyond the reach of ordinary people...

Zong Bing realized that he had spoken out of turn and looked at Chen Mu with guilt.

Chen Mu smiled slightly without saying anything, just nodded slightly to him.

After Zong Bing understood and left, he reached out and patted Niu Dali on the shoulder.

Niu Dali didn't want to dwell on the sadness of the past, so he raised his head, clicked his tongue a few times, and changed the subject:
"I heard from that Nascent Soul cultivator that you've become the leader of this world. Could it be that you're truly number one in the world now?"

"Number one in the world?"

Chen Mu shook his head and said, "It's still early..."

Niu Dali disagreed and continued, "But there will always be a day like that, right?"

After saying this, he looked deeply at Chen Mu, and the confidence in his eyes had never been so strong.

From this we can see that he trusts Chen Mu even more than he trusts himself.
