The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 264 Xuanyinzi!
Chen Jinshu's expression sharpened for a moment, then he quickly suppressed his helplessness and began to keenly probe the direction of the source of the transmission.

Soon, she located the source of the oppressive aura in a slightly secluded spot about three zhang away from the Blood River Sect's seats.

The other party seemed to have noticed her probe as well, and the pressure it released suddenly froze, piercing her consciousness with a warning.

However, since both of them possessed mid-stage Golden Core spiritual senses, this spiritual attack didn't really have much of an impact on her.

Chen Jinshu calmly withdrew his divine sense, his peripheral vision quickly glancing in that direction.

There sat a middle-aged Taoist priest dressed in a dark green brocade robe.

The Taoist priest had a fair complexion and a meticulously trimmed three-strand beard, giving him a somewhat otherworldly and ethereal appearance.

He was talking in hushed tones to a well-to-do, smiling monk beside him, his face bearing a perfectly measured gentle smile, the white jade wine cup in his hand swirling gently, his demeanor composed.

If Chen Jinshu hadn't sensed the source of that chilling aura, judging by appearance alone, this person would have looked exactly like a sect elder or a noble family elder who had come to offer birthday greetings.

However, Chen Jinshu could clearly sense the cruelty flashing in his eyes, which was somewhat similar to the expression in the snake master's scarlet eyes back then.

Having confirmed his goal, Chen Jinshu felt an even greater sense of urgency.

The other party was very well disguised, blending in with the guests. Unless someone took the initiative to cause trouble, it would be almost impossible to detect their malice.

The fact that they can sit here so openly must mean they have something to rely on.

She needs a "local expert" to verify the person's identity and background.

Her gaze then naturally turned to Liu Qingchen, who was currently holding a wine glass and exchanging pleasantries with several rogue cultivators.

Then, a wisp of spiritual energy gathered at his fingertips and gently touched the edge of Liu Qingchen's robe sleeve.

Liu Qingchen paused slightly with a faint smile, but his smile remained unchanged. After exchanging a few more polite words, he naturally stepped aside, holding his wine glass, and strolled towards Chen Jinshu.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, is this Hundred Herbs Jade Dew to your liking? It is a treasure of the valley, and it is hard to find such a pure and spiritual essence elsewhere."

Chen Jinshu looked up, a faint smile appearing on his face, and raised his glass in a gesture of greeting:
“This is indeed an extraordinary item. Elder Liu is very kind.”

Her gaze seemed to drift unintentionally towards the Taoist priest in the dark green brocade robe. She tilted her head slightly and asked in a low voice:

"That fellow Daoist in the dark green brocade robe has an extraordinary bearing. May I ask who this master is? He seems somewhat familiar?"

Liu Qingchen glanced at Chen Jinshu in the direction of his gaze, and the smile on his face froze for a moment, a trace of apprehension flashing deep in his eyes.

He quickly concealed his unusual behavior by taking the opportunity to bend down and adjust his cuffs.

His voice was lowered even further, almost a whisper, and his speech quickened:

"Why are you asking about him, Fellow Daoist Chen?"

"That person is not someone to be trifled with!"

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."

Chen Jinshu remained calm, even taking another sip of his wine, as if it were just casual conversation.

Liu Qingchen's Adam's apple bobbed, and he glanced warily in that direction again. Making sure the other person wasn't paying attention, he moved closer and said in a low voice:

"This person's Daoist name is 'Xuan Yinzi,' and he is an elder of the 'Yin Sha Sect' in the Eastern Region! He has a cultivation level of the sixth level of the Golden Core stage, and his Yin Sha Frost Divine Power is extremely vicious and impossible to guard against!"

"This person has a wide circle of friends, especially close personal relationships with the elders of several major demonic sects. He is also a confidant of the Yin Sha Sect's Chief of Punishments, holding a high position and great power, and is vengeful!"

In our northern border region of the Eastern Region, they are notoriously difficult to deal with!
Ordinary Golden Core cultivators would not want to provoke him.

Could it be that he has some past connection with Fellow Daoist Chen?

Liu Qingchen finally couldn't help but ask the question, his eyes filled with inquiry.

'Yin Sha Sect! Xuan Yinzi! Sixth level of Golden Core! A trusted confidant of the Elder in charge of punishments! With extensive connections!'

"Old friend?"

Chen Jinshu's lips curled slightly, and he said in a cold, mocking voice:

Elder Liu is joking.

Chen had only recently arrived in the Eastern Region and had never met this fellow Daoist Xuan Yinzi before.

I only noticed its unique aura just now, so I asked out of curiosity.

Liu Qingchen was a seasoned veteran, and he naturally understood the meaning behind those words. If they weren't old acquaintances, then they must have had a grudge.

And this holiday is probably quite significant.

It allowed Xuan Yinzi to subtly unleash his killing intent in such a situation!
Liu Qingchen's expression instantly turned somewhat unpleasant.

He gasped, his gaze towards Chen Jinshu filled with complex emotions.

"Fellow Daoist Chen! I dare to say something, regardless of the reason."

If you can avoid provoking this person, then absolutely do not provoke them!

The Yin Sha Sect is protective of its own, and Xuan Yinzi himself is narrow-minded and ruthless!

His demonic friends were all ruthless killers!

If you have a grudge against him...

Liu Qingchen swallowed nervously, not finishing his sentence, but the meaning was crystal clear.

"Thank you for your guidance, Elder Liu." Chen Jinshu nodded slightly, his expression returning to calm.

Seeing that Chen Jinshu seemed to have taken it to heart, Liu Qingchen breathed a slight sigh of relief and added:
"Fellow Daoist Chen's alchemy is profound and his future is limitless. Bear with your anger for now and wait for the right day."

In short, please be extremely cautious!

He quickly raised his glass in a gesture of greeting, then turned and walked away, his steps a few paces faster than when he arrived.

After Liu Qingchen left, Chen Jinshu sat alone at the table, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

Xuan Yinzi is currently at the sixth level of the Golden Core stage and is a powerful elder of the Yin Sha Sect, with extensive connections in the demonic path.

If she were to confront him head-on, with her cultivation at the third level of the Golden Core stage, even with the powerful spiritual energy of the Azure Wood Longevity Technique, her mid-stage Golden Core divine sense, and numerous trump cards, her chances of winning would be extremely low.

Moreover, once action is taken, the consequences will be endless.

This is Medicine King Valley. The Valley Master's authority is not to be trifled with, and Xuan Yinzi dared not make a move. But what will happen after the birthday banquet?

What if we leave the territory of Medicine King Valley?
We must prepare for the worst.

"Private duels are prohibited within the Medicine King Valley during the Valley Master's birthday banquet. We must make the most of this time and escape as soon as possible!"

In an instant, countless thoughts swirled in her mind.

She picked up her wine glass and drank the last drop of the Hundred Herbs Dew.

The refreshing spiritual energy dissipated in my stomach, leaving a slightly bitter aftertaste.

At this moment, the atmosphere inside the hall seemed to have returned to a superficial harmony.

The Valley Master remained seated high, his expression indifferent.

The guests raised their glasses again, and laughter and conversation gradually returned.

Chen Jinshu's gaze once again unintentionally swept over the seat where Xuan Yinzi was.

Xuan Yinzi still wore that gentle, fake smile, the curve of his lips even widening slightly.

Half a day later, the Valley Master's birthday banquet finally came to an end.

Chen Jinshu stepped out with the crowd. The moment he stepped out of the valley, without the slightest hesitation, his body emitted a burst of light, instantly transforming into a stream of light as faint as green smoke, and sped towards the direction of Meiyun Residence in the inner courtyard.

He moved so fast that he left only a fleeting afterimage behind him, attracting the attention of several fellow cultivators who were also leaving. They assumed that the leader of the Pill Gathering was aloof and disliked socializing.

A moment later, the restrictions on Meiyun Residence opened and closed silently.

The moment the protective array barrier rose, Chen Jinshu slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

“A letter…”

Qingheng's small figure emerged from inside her clothes, her eyes filled with worry, and she gently placed her small hand on her slightly cool cheek.

"nothing."

"I'm afraid we can't stay in Medicine King Valley Market any longer!"
