The spiritual energy was restored, and he became a mortal immortal in two days.

"A celestial spiritual root?"

"Or is it the Divine Palace or the Sea of ​​Consciousness?"

Upon hearing Xu Jingchen's words, everyone present was shocked and incredulous.

Throughout the history of the Xu family, the most talented person has been the Supreme Elder, who possesses the Earth Spirit Root.

In the early days of the Dharma-ending Age, he broke through his limits, embarked on spiritual practice, and successfully established the Xu family.

Even now that spiritual energy is reviving and more and more powerful people are appearing from the sky, those with celestial spiritual roots are still extremely rare, numbering only a handful.

As for the divine palace-level sea of ​​consciousness... that's just a legend in records, I've never seen it before.

"Young Master, could it be that we're sensing something wrong?" the butler asked, looking shocked.

"There's no mistake."

Xu Jingchen tried his best to suppress his excitement and took out the testing stone.

Even from a distance, just by absorbing this woman's aura, one's body shimmers with the highest level of light, revealing patterns symbolizing a divine palace.

"It's actually true..."

Butler Xu's pupils contracted sharply, he muttered to himself, and his expression became dazed.

Then, almost simultaneously, the two exchanged a glance, their voices resolute: "Take her in! Take her in, no matter the cost!"

As long as the Xu family possesses this woman, given time, she will surely be led to unprecedented heights.

They had another purpose for this trip: to find and cultivate talented individuals for the Xu family.

"Thank you, Grandma."

After accepting the glutinous rice cake, Lu Yao thanked them and was about to turn and leave when she almost bumped into a group of strangers who were walking up to her.

"Who...who are you people?"

Xu Jingchen stepped forward, maintaining his good manners. "Miss, my name is Xu Jingchen. You may have many questions now, but after I demonstrate my abilities, you will believe me."

Please give me a chance to get to know you, and give yourself a chance to seize life's opportunities.

"What do you mean?"

Lu Yao sized up the group of people. They were dressed in luxurious clothes and had a noble demeanor, unlike ordinary people. Their innate air of superiority made people very uncomfortable.

With a glance from Xu Jingchen, Butler Xu immediately produced a sealing talisman, isolating the area from the outside world.

"Let me formally introduce myself. I am the young master of the reclusive Xu family, at the Foundation Establishment stage."

Xu Jingchen smiled confidently, a smile playing on his lips. Anyone with even a basic understanding of cultivation factions would know the Xu family's prominent position in the Divine Continent.

"And then? Something wrong?"

However, to his surprise, Lu Yao's reaction was calm, not as shocked as he had imagined.

"You may not be aware of the Xu family's status..." Xu Jingchen frowned.

Lu Yao interrupted him: "Don't delay my journey home."

Done.

She didn't look at the guy again and turned to leave.

This group of people is really inexplicable; they come up to me and proudly talk about their family.

Xu Jingchen was losing face, and in a flash, he stood in front of Lu Yao again.

"Young lady, we've told you all this so that you understand the Xu family's status. We want to invite you to join the Xu family."

"Rest assured, our Xu family will do our utmost to nurture you and treat you as an honored guest."

"Don't rush to refuse, our Xu family..."

"I'm not going."

Lu Yao interrupted him again, then walked past Xu Jingchen without even glancing at him again.

This guy isn't as handsome as his senior, yet he's so full of himself. Did Liang Jingru give him the courage?

Crunch!

Xu Jingchen's hand clenched tightly.

Being interrupted and ignored time and again caused his outward gentleness and benevolence to gradually fade away, and his eyes became gloomy and frightening.

"Young Master, should I take action directly?"

Butler Xu stared at Lu Yao's departing figure, his expression equally cold.

Such a talented woman must be brought under the Xu family's control.

"No rush."

Xu Jingchen took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger. "Forcibly abducting her is a bad idea. The best way is to make her follow us willingly."

This time, the anger was suppressed out of consideration for the woman's talent; this will not be a repeat of the incident.

Butler Xu asked疑惑地问道, "Then how can we get her to join willingly?"

"Lingxiao".

Xu Jingchen smiled calmly, already having made his plans.

……

"The Xu family has gone too far! They didn't even report to us after entering the city!"

At the office, the person in charge slammed his fist on the table in anger.

"They were just showing off, deliberately making us wait so long," Ye Li said calmly.

She didn't actually have much affection for these reclusive families.

They hide when trouble arises and only show up when there's something to gain. Do they really think China owes them something?

"There's nothing we can do about it. This matter involves the soul, and only the Xu family's Heavenly Observation and Soul Appraisal Technique can help us quickly find the Blood Soul Hall's hidden members."

The Xu family has lived in seclusion for five hundred years, specializing in the art of the soul and spirit. They possess unique abilities in understanding the ways of the human heart, the sea of ​​consciousness, the soul, and one's physical constitution.

"I'm so sorry, it's my first time stepping into the mortal world, and I couldn't help but be a little too enamored with its prosperity. I've kept you all waiting."

At this moment, Xu Jingchen walked in with his men, saying sorry, but his leisurely pace revealed his lack of respect.

"It is a blessing for us and the people of Qingcheng that Young Master Xu has come to Qingcheng."

Prefect An readily accepted the good advice, showing no dissatisfaction, and took the initiative to greet him.

"Prefect An is truly a good official who cares for the people."

Xu Jingchen smiled, then looked at Ye Li beside him, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes, "This is Pei Jianzun's disciple, Captain Ye Li?"

Ye Li did not respond, not even nodding, her face cold.

"Young Master Xu, you must be very tired after your long journey. We will arrange for someone to welcome you and give you a proper welcome."

Prefect An intervened between the two, immediately jokingly saying that he would make arrangements.

"No need, Prefect An. We already have a good understanding of what happened in Qingcheng."

Xu Jingchen said calmly, "Let's get straight to the point."

"That would be great."

Prefect An was surprised that the Xu family would be so proactive, and immediately began to explain the situation: "We have already cleared out the Blood Soul Hall's people on the surface, but they are using their divine souls to infiltrate the crowd."

"Currently, we have no way to distinguish them from the crowd."

"They must be plotting something. I'm worried that if we don't deal with it in time, there will be endless trouble."

"If Young Master Xu lends his assistance, we promise to provide the Xu family with half a spiritual vein after the matter is accomplished."

In this era, spiritual energy is scarce, making it extremely difficult for spiritual veins to form; even half a spiritual vein is priceless.

Xu Jingchen: "Prefect An, we agree to assist you."

"This is wonderful..."

An Changmin's face lit up with joy, but the next moment, Xu Jingchen interrupted, "However, the conditions need to be changed."

"What do you want?"

An Changmin hesitated for a moment, worried that this guy would ask for an exorbitant amount.

"Our Xu family doesn't want spiritual veins or other cultivation resources; we just want one person."
