Ordinary People: Starting with the Chen Clan

"Disciple Chen Xuanzhou, accompanied by Daoist companion Xin Ruyin, has come to pay respects to Master, wishing Master eternal bliss and unobstructed progress on the Great Dao."

"These words coming from your mouth are rather unpleasant to hear. Come on in, what trouble have you got this time?"

Chen Xuanzhou didn't care that Qiong Laoguai had directly exposed his little scheme; their master-disciple relationship was, in itself, a transaction.

There's no need to shy away from these things!

Grasping the slightly cold hand of the person beside me, I raised my head and stepped inside.

Upon entering the hall, they saw that the poor old monster was still in a disheveled state, showing no change despite becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Before Chen Xuanzhou could speak, Old Monster Qiong spoke first: "If I'm not mistaken, you've come here for your Daoist partner, haven't you?"

For so many years since I joined the sect, I have kept my little wife, you, outside the sect.

They'd rather recruit those ungrateful wretches into the sect than let her join. And now they're finally willing to bring her to see their master?

Faced with Qiong Laoguai's teasing, Chen Xuanzhou remained calm and didn't say a word of nonsense. He pulled Xin Ruyin and the other person to bow deeply.

"Please, Master, save my Daoist partner's life!"

"Alright, stop with the nonsense and get to the point."

Old Monster Qiong waved his hand dismissively, clearly unmoved by such tactics.

"Master, these are two sets of inherited skills passed down from my Daoist partner. I offer them to you, hoping you will lend a hand."

Chen Xuanzhou knew that only by demonstrating sufficient value could he get his master to intervene.

So he didn't play any tricks and directly offered up Xin Ruyin's ancestral array inheritance and the Xuanpin Nascent Soul Transformation Technique.

Looking at the two jade slips in Chen Xuanzhou's hand, Old Monster Qiong did not underestimate them. The inheritances that could catch the eye of his disciple were not simple items.

With a wave of his hand, the jade slip appeared in his hand.

He scanned the contents with his divine sense and quickly grasped their general outline. Although it was impressive, it could only serve as a reference for him.

After all, he doesn't cultivate the Dao of Arrays. Although many of the arrays recorded in it are extremely exquisite, far surpassing the array Dao inheritance within the Hidden Moon Sect.

But that's about it.

With a flick of his wrist, he put it into his storage bag. Chen Xuanzhou's expression remained unchanged, and he even pulled Xin Ruyin to stand up straight again.

Upon seeing this, Old Monster Qiong smiled, indicating that the surprise was in the second jade slip.

Upon seeing the six large characters, "The Great Method of Transforming the Mysterious Female into an Infant," Old Monster Qiong pondered for a long time but could not recall where he had ever heard of it before.

In less than three breaths, Old Monster Qiong suddenly gripped the jade slip in his hand, and a cracking sound rang out!

Because of excessive force, the ordinary jade slip was almost cracked.

Aside from these sounds, the only other sound Chen Xuanzhou could hear in the entire cave was the pounding of Xin Ruyin's heart beside him.

Time seemed to drag on at this moment, and Chen Xuanzhou couldn't help but tighten his grip on the hand of the person beside him.

"Speak, what do you need from me this time?"

When Old Monster Qiong spoke again, Chen Xuanzhou's heart calmed down, and he knew that he had made the right bet.

This secret technique is too important; he has even prepared for the possibility that Old Monster Qiong might harm him.

After all, the secret technique had gone wrong, and Old Monster Qiong definitely didn't want to fall into that trap again.

For Nascent Soul cultivators, there is no secret that a Soul Search cannot solve.

It seems that I still hold a certain weight in Old Ghost Qiong's heart.

This is certainly not a master-disciple relationship between the two. To talk about feelings on the path of cultivation is to disrespect the path of cultivation.

It should just be about having a place to use one's own comprehension.

"Reporting to Master, my Daoist partner possesses the Dragon Roar Body, and I have tried various methods to resolve this issue."

Now, the intense yang energy within Ruyin's body is becoming increasingly difficult to suppress, which is why she wants to ask her master for help!

"Hehe, my good disciple, you always manage to find me a troublesome problem!"

When Qiong Laoguai heard the Dragon Roar Body, his face twitched slightly. He had been lying lazily in the chair, but he couldn't help but pull his feet back.

They had obviously heard of this constitution before.

He didn't say anything more, but instead beckoned with his hand. Xin Ruyin, who had been standing quietly beside Chen Xuanzhou, suddenly felt a tightness in her body and disappeared from the spot before she could even utter a word.

Chen Xuanzhou's tightly clenched hands gave him no chance to react, making him realize how ridiculous his self-righteous preparations had been.

Old Monster Qiong placed one hand on Xin Ruyin's wrist, his eyes slightly closed.

Xin Ruyin, who was being held captive, dared not move an inch. She only felt a cool sensation spreading from her wrist, which quickly flowed throughout her body.

Along with the coolness came a sense of relaxation I hadn't felt in years.

"As expected of someone with such a rare and exceptionally yang constitution, my dear girl, you've managed to cultivate to the late stage of Qi Refining and are still alive and well. You must have put in a lot of effort!"

As Qiong Laoguai withdrew his hand, he rubbed the handrail.

"If it weren't for the cultivation technique and elixirs given to me by my husband, I wouldn't be able to stand in front of you right now."

"Master, is there any way to cure this constitution?"

Or, if all else fails, suppression will prevent Ruyin from suffering a backlash from the extreme yang energy, thus affecting her lifespan.

Chen Xuanzhou, who was standing below, couldn't help but interject.

"Hmph, so you've got your limits. If it were that simple, you wouldn't be begging me for help!"

Old Monster Qiong glared at Chen Xuanzhou with annoyance.

"You wait!" he said, taking out a talisman, saying it twice, and then turning into a flame and disappearing.

Seeing that Old Monster Qiong was directly calling for reinforcements, Chen Xuanzhou was not happy at all, but rather somewhat disappointed.

It seems that his secret technique is not enough to make a Nascent Soul True Monarch willingly expend his own essence.

While waiting for others, Old Monster Qiong didn't just give up. Instead, he patted Xin Ruyin's waist, causing her to lie horizontally in mid-air.

Then, his hands moved across her body like vibrating harp strings.

Chen Xuanzhou was only at the Foundation Establishment stage. Although his spiritual sense was not much weaker than that of a Core Formation cultivator, he still could not understand what the other party was doing.

One could only feel that the temperature in the entire hall had plummeted, and even frost began to settle on Chen Xuanzhou's body.

Unseen by Chen Xuanzhou, countless black and white transparent threads were densely threading through Xin Ruyin's entire body on Qiong Laoguai's hands.

Every acupoint on the body was thoroughly examined.

Xin Ruyin, lying in mid-air, now has her eyes closed and has completely lost consciousness, though her body occasionally twitches.

Suddenly, a faint dragon-shaped light and shadow appeared around him, like a real dragon with gold and red stripes, exuding an extremely yang power.

Chen Xuanzhou had a keen sense of perception, and although the dragon form appeared suddenly and briefly, he still managed to sense it.

The dragon-shaped light and shadow looked amazing, but in reality, it didn't contain much pure Yang energy. Even for Chen Xuanzhou, it was nothing.

However, this power was far too pure; compared to the refined magical power Chen Xuanzhou thought he had cultivated, it was utterly incomparable.
