Chapter 1424 Asking for advice

But he was still a little unconvinced and said, "But he is old!"

Hei Niu laughed and said, "What's wrong with being older? You are young, but you are of no help to her in cultivating immortals, let alone helping her break the impasse. If this evil relationship is allowed to develop, it will not be good for either you or her."

"No, Fellow Daoist Black Loach, am I really as useless as you say?" Zhang Xuan asked.

Black Loach stroked his chin and said, "I understand this. Fellow Daoist Zhang is definitely not comparable to ordinary Void Refining cultivators. Just your two sixth-stage late-stage demon beasts are worth more than most late-stage Void Refining cultivators. Fellow Daoist Zhang also possesses many magical powers of the laws of heaven and earth, and has practiced both magic and body. Moreover, he has been practicing for less than 300 years. His future development potential is not inferior to that of the geniuses in the thirty-three heavenly rivers."

Zhang Xuan was very pleased to hear what Hei Niu said, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

Unexpectedly, Black Loach changed his tone and continued, "But then again, my knowledge of your excellence is useless, if Fairy Lingchen doesn't know it."

"And you just said I wasn't good enough for her."

"I mean, from our worldly perspective, you are indeed not worthy of her, but if you want to get to know her more deeply, you are much better than that old guy," Black Loach explained.

After hearing what Hei Niu said, Zhang Xuan felt much better.

Black Loach said, "However, I advise you to cut off contact with Fairy Lingchen as soon as possible. Fairy Lingchen is now a guest of the Ye family, and has signed a contract with the other party to keep 30% of the sixth-level spiritual plants alive. There is a high probability that it will not be completed. The debt is not something that ordinary Void Refining cultivators can bear. The reason why Fairy Lingchen avoided you is also for your own path. After all, Fellow Daoist Zhang, there are more than a dozen original Dao fruits nourishing the inner world, and the cultivation resources required are even more massive. You don’t even have enough cultivation resources, so how can you take care of her?"

"No, even if that's the case, she wouldn't cut off all contact with me. I could still ask her for advice on spiritual plant cultivation techniques." Zhang Xuan said.

Black Loach sighed: "This can only be blamed on Fellow Daoist Zhang for acting too rashly."

Zhang Xuan was even more troubled after hearing what Hei Niu said: "Why did I act rashly?"

"Fairy Lingchen was just joking at the time, but Brother Zhang expressed his feelings directly like a reckless young man who had just begun to fall in love. This made everyone embarrassed, and we had no choice but to cut off contact with you."

Zhang Xuan was even more confused after hearing this. Although he had been practicing for three hundred years and had several wives, concubines and Taoist partners, he still could not understand the meaning of the words said by this black loach.

How did I become a reckless, love-struck boy?

Seeing Zhang Xuan's puzzled look, Hei Niu further explained: "You know that cultivators like me have basically returned to the Great Dao, and we are even more dismissive of the love between children, unless she can further help us in our cultivation."

"Even if both parties have feelings for each other, it is only based on being equal in strength, and they can slowly come together, or ask a matchmaker to mediate. In this way, even if it doesn't work out, no one will be embarrassed. I have never seen a Void Refining cultivator who directly expresses his feelings to the other party. Doing so will only make himself lose face and embarrass everyone, and it will also destroy the underlying rules of Void Refining cultivators looking for Taoist partners."

After hearing what Hei Niu said, Zhang Xuan seemed to understand something.

Looking back, my actions were indeed a bit rash.

"If you want to blame someone, you can only blame the strong aftereffect of this Immortal Brew. Drinking it will cause trouble!"

Zhang Xuan said this harshly, putting all the blame on Zhaixian Wine.

The black loach comforted Zhang Xuan again, and then left Zhang Xuan's spiritual field.

It would have been better if the black loach didn't come. Instead, his coming put Zhang Xuan into even greater torment.

My mind became more confused and could never calm down.

The visit of the black loach not only failed to enlighten him, but instead made Zhang Xuan fall into an even more troubled situation.

"No, I have to go find someone else to ask for advice."

In the Broken Sky City, the only Void Refining Monk he knew was Lai Piqiu.

After Zhang Xuan activated the half-step sixth-level defense formation, he left his spiritual field.

Generally speaking, as long as there is a half-step sixth-level formation guarding it, even a Void Refining cultivator would not be able to break into his spiritual field.

If the Void Refining cultivator insisted on breaking the formation, the huge noise would definitely alert the City Guards.

If you dare to steal elixirs in Broken Sky City, you will be in big trouble.

Zhang Xuan came to the Alchemy Pavilion and successfully met Lai Piqiu.

Lai Piqiu saw that Zhang Xuan looked worried and asked, "What problems have you encountered recently, Brother Zhang? Is the cultivation of the sixth-level spiritual medicine not going well?"

Henry Zhang shook his head and said, “The cultivation of the sixth-level spiritual medicine went smoothly, but I encountered other things.”

Lai Piqiu asked doubtfully, "What happened to Brother Zhang? Tell me about it. Maybe I can help."

Zhang Xuan told Lai Piqiu the conversation he had with Fairy Lingchen that day truthfully, and also relayed to Lai Piqiu what Black Loach had said to Zhang Xuan.

Lai Piqiu took a look at Zhang Xuan's distressed look at the moment, and immediately knew what he should say.

"This black loach is talking nonsense!" Lai Piqiu said.

When Zhang Xuan heard Lai Piqiu say this, his eyes lit up and he said, "Daoyou Lai Piqiu, why do you say that? Do you have a new opinion?"

"That guy Black Loach is just an old bachelor, how can he understand love between men and women?"

"I think what Daoist Fellow Black Loach said makes a lot of sense..."

"You are in a state of confusion right now. Let alone Black Loach coming to your door to persuade you, even if a stray dog ​​on the roadside barks at you twice, it can help you understand a lot of truths."

“Not really…” Zhang Xuan curled his lips.

"Why not? Black Loach is slippery and has a very active mind. He probably values ​​the spiritual medicine in your spiritual field more. If you combine with Fairy Lingchen, you will definitely offend the Ye family. Even if you don't offend the Ye family, you will probably have to bear a huge debt in the future. Then you will be of no value to Black Loach, and you will probably have to borrow spiritual stones from him. It is based on this that Black Loach advises you to stay away from Fairy Lingchen. He has his own interests and position."

When Zhang Xuan heard what Lai Piqiu said, he slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, Daoist Fellow Lai Piqiu is absolutely right!"

At this moment, all the worries of the past few months seemed to be dispelled at once.

Zhang Xuan's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed.

What kind of person is Lai Piqiu? He is very good at observing people's words and expressions.

Seeing Zhang Xuan like this, he naturally knew what to say next.
