Chapter 184: Meeting Zhu Qianxi again, the magnificent Wu Zhaomei

Among the many vendors, Zhu Qianxi, who was selling spiritual wine, was particularly eye-catching in her red dress.

Chen Xuan and Zhu Qianxi have a good relationship, and Chen Xuan helped Zhu Qianxi a lot last time.

Chen Xuan asked himself, Zhu Qianxi would definitely not reveal his whereabouts.

But at the moment, Chen Xuan had no contact with Zhu Qianxi.

Soon, he blended into the crowd and left.

After returning to his rented cave, Chen Xuan pondered for a moment, took out a sound transmission talisman, said a few words, and then activated it casually.

A few hours later, Chen Xuan, who was meditating in the secret room, suddenly opened his eyes.

The figure flashed and disappeared immediately.

When he appeared again, he was already outside the rented cave.

At this moment, he used his true appearance.

Zhu Qianxi arrived as promised, and the moment she saw Chen Xuan, her beautiful eyes were filled with surprise.

"Brother Chen? It turns out to be you."

Zhu Qianxi was surprised again and again.

During this period, the news that the Yuling Sect, Miaoyin Sect, and Shen Yao Valley had suffered a great defeat in Qianmai Gorge had spread throughout the entire Linhezhou cultivation world.

As a cultivator from the Caiyun Sect, Zhu Qianxi was really worried about Chen Xuan's safety.

Zhu Qianxi was happier than anyone else when she saw Chen Xuan appear safely in front of her.

"Brother Chen, I didn't expect you to come to Lingyun Market. If that's the case, I'm going to get drunk today!"

As Zhu Qianxi spoke, she took out two jars of peach blossom wine and handed them to Chen Xuan.

"This is the top-grade peach blossom wine that I brewed myself. I hope Brother Chen doesn't mind it."

Spiritual wine and elixir are common.

It is also divided into low quality, medium quality, high quality and top quality.

Zhu Qianxi is only in the initial stage of foundation building, but she can brew top-quality peach blossom wine, which is enough to show that she has an excellent talent for brewing wine.

"Fairy Zhu, you're welcome!"

Chen Xuan thanked him and took the two jars of peach blossom wine.

Before the wine seal is opened, a rich aroma emanates from the jar.

Chen Xuan usually doesn't drink spiritual wine, but the smell of the two jars of top-quality peach blossom wine in his hands aroused his appetite.

"Good wine!"

With an exclamation of admiration, Chen Xuan invited Zhu Qianxi into his cave.

hum!

With a wave of his hand, Chen Xuan activated the protective formation in the cave. After asking Zhu Qianxi to take a seat, he smiled and said, "To my surprise, the last time I saw Fairy Zhu was in the Yuling Sect, but this time it was in Lingyun Market."

"However, I see that the fairy's cultivation level seems to be not far from the middle stage of foundation building. Congratulations!"

Zhu Qianxi didn't know what she remembered, and her pretty face suddenly turned red.

After thanking him, he chuckled and said, "Last time, thanks to Brother Chen's help in refining the Mysterious Pill for the Sky, I was able to successfully cancel my engagement with Zhu Yunlan. I have always kept this in mind."

Chen Xuan smiled slightly and said nothing, but he was very satisfied in his heart.

When someone does you a favor, you should repay them with a spring.

Although this is a commonly accepted rule in the secular world, it is still applicable in the world of immortal cultivation.

"Fairy Zhu, why don't I see Little Fairy Zhu this time?" Chen Xuan asked curiously.

Zhu Qianxi and Zhu Pin'er are inseparable.

This time, Chen Xuan only saw Zhu Qianxi coming to find him, but not Zhu Pin'er, so he couldn't help but look curious.

"Pin'er has recently gained new insights into refining talismans. She is currently practicing in seclusion."

"Unfortunately, she is only at the tenth level of Qi Refining. It may be difficult for her to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage."

When Zhu Qianxi said this, her expression darkened.

If she cannot break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, no matter how high Zhu Pin'er's talent in alchemy is, her lifespan will ultimately be the same as that of an ordinary person.

Only by breaking through to the foundation-building stage can one’s lifespan extend to two hundred years.

Since the last time Chen Xuan and others participated in the Bloody Canyon trial, the Bloody Canyon will not be opened for nearly a hundred years.

As a result, the number of foundation-building pills in the seven major immortal cultivation sects in Linhe Province became even more scarce.

Without the assistance of the Foundation Establishment Pill, it would be wishful thinking to want to successfully establish the foundation.

Although Zhu Pin'er has good talent, what she lacks is a foundation-building pill.

Whenever Zhu Qianxi thought of this, her heart ached slightly.

"If Pin'er hadn't given me her foundation-building pill, I wouldn't be where I am today."

"Unfortunately, the Blood Canyon has not been opened for nearly a hundred years. It is almost impossible for us to get the Foundation Establishment Pill."

When Zhu Qianxi said this, her face was filled with sorrow.

Chen Xuan hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Fairy, good fortune comes naturally to those who are lucky. I think Fairy Xiao Zhu is a blessed person. She may not have no chance of successfully building her foundation."

"Oh? Could it be that Brother Chen can also read faces?"

Zhu Qianxi was surprised.

She only knew that Chen Xuan was a beastmaster of the Yuling Sect and also an alchemist.

But no one has ever heard that Chen Xuan is also a astrologer who can predict good and bad fortune.

"Haha, you are joking, Fairy. I can't read faces. But I know Fairy Xiao Zhu has her own opportunities, and this is absolutely true."

Chen Xuan laughed.

Under Zhu Qianxi's puzzled gaze, he flipped his hand and took out a top-grade foundation-building pill.

This top-grade foundation-building pill was found by him and Wu Zhaomei in the ancient cave in the Bloody Canyon.

Chen Xuan took several of them and successfully built his foundation. He also kept a few top-grade foundation-building pills with him and did not use them.

After hearing that Zhu Pin'er was unable to advance to the Foundation Building Stage because she didn't have the Foundation Building Pill, Chen Xuan took out the top-grade Foundation Building Pill without hesitation.

"Top-grade foundation-building pill? Brother Chen, your gift is too expensive. I can't accept it!"

Zhu Qianxi shook her head repeatedly, not daring to accept it.

A low-grade foundation-building pill is enough to bankrupt a small immortal cultivation family.

Zhu Qianxi knew that she had a good relationship with Chen Xuan, but not so good that Chen Xuan would take out a top-grade foundation-building pill at any cost.

"Alas, Fairy, you worry too much. I won't give you this top-grade foundation-building pill for free. In fact, I asked the Fairy to come here this time because I need your help to collect some information about my Yuling Sect."

"This top-grade foundation-building pill can be regarded as your reward, Fairy. How about it?"

Chen Xuan looked at Zhu Qianxi with a smile.

Hearing what he said, Zhu Qianxi's expression suddenly brightened up.

"If that's the case, then I will keep this Foundation Establishment Pill. But no matter what, we sisters owe you, Brother Chen, a big favor." Zhu Qianxi expressed her sincere gratitude.

A low-grade foundation-building pill is very valuable.

The value of a top-grade foundation-building pill far exceeds the value of a lower-grade foundation-building pill.

Zhu Qianxi knew that Chen Xuan said that just to give her face.

However, Zhu Qianxi would not be perfunctory about what Chen Xuan asked her to do.

After a moment of hesitation, Zhu Qianxi said, "Brother Chen, I have been stationed in Lingyun Market recently and have been in charge of the intelligence work of Caiyun Sect. I know a lot about the situation of your Yuling Sect."

"Ever since the Yuling Sect, the Divine Medicine Valley, and the Miaoyin Sect were defeated by the Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses of the Yinshi Demon Sect in the Qianmai Canyon, the Yuling Sect, the Miaoyin Sect, and the Divine Medicine Valley launched attacks on the Yinshi Demon Sect almost at the same time."

"The Yin Corpse Demon Sect was almost completely wiped out by the three sects."

“I don’t know what method the Yin Corpse Demon Sect used to persuade the Seven Sword Sect and the Immortal Sword Sect to come forward to mediate before annihilating the sect.”

"Although the Yin Corpse Demon Sect is now negotiating with your Yuling Sect, Shenyao Valley, and Miaoyin Sect, small-scale battles still exist."

"According to my advice, Brother Chen, you should not return to the Yuling Sect for the time being."

"It won't be too late for you to go back after there is new progress in the negotiations between the Yin Corpse Demon Sect and the Three Sects."

Zhu Qianxi, on the other hand, knew everything and told it to everyone.

He even gave Chen Xuan the jade slip containing the intelligence collected by Caiyun Sect.

After reading it carefully, Chen Xuan became thoughtful.

"Fairy Zhu is right. Now is still not the best time to return to Yuling Sect." Chen Xuan said in his heart.

After a pause, Chen Xuan's expression froze.

"Fairy Zhu, I have two things I want you to find out."

"I wonder if Fairy Jindie from our Yuling Sect and Fairy Wu from Miaoyin Sect made it out of Qianmai Gorge alive?"

When Chen Xuan said this, his expression became extremely solemn.

When they were fleeing in the Thousand Veins Canyon, if it weren't for the Golden Butterfly Fairy who carried him all the way and risked her life to lure away the powerful Yinshi Demon Sect members who were ambushing everyone, Chen Xuan would probably not have been able to escape from the Thousand Veins Canyon successfully.

As for inquiring about Wu Zhaomei's news, it was purely out of an indescribable concern.

"This... Brother Chen, this matter involves a Jindan-stage expert. I have limited information. But I will try my best to find out."

Zhu Qianxi looked solemn.

Chen Xuan understood this very well.

After all, Zhu Qianxi was only a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, so it was indeed difficult for her to inquire about the news of cultivators in the Jindan stage.

Just as Chen Xuan was about to say something to comfort Zhu Qianxi, Zhu Qianxi suddenly chuckled and said, "Brother Chen, I'm afraid you have been practicing hard in seclusion during this period of time, right?"

"This... I wonder what Fairy Zhu means by this?"

Chen Xuan looked puzzled.

Zhu Qianxi smiled softly.

"Brother Chen, if you hadn't been in seclusion for a long time, you wouldn't be unaware of Senior Wu's news."

"It is said that after your three sects were defeated by the Yin Corpse Demon Sect in Qianmai Canyon, Senior Wu Zhaomei from the Miaoyin Sect suddenly appeared at your Yuling Sect's headquarters for unknown reasons."

"She flew into a rage when she saw the countless Foundation Establishment experts from your Yuling Sect leaving corpses all over the ground."

"With his own strength, he killed more than a hundred Yinshi Demon Sect's Foundation Establishment cultivators, as well as three Yinshi Demon Sect's early Jindan stage elders. Even the Yinshi Demon Sect's Wu Xianpo and Yinshi Old Monster were severely injured by Senior Wu. This battle also made Senior Wu famous."

“However, due to Senior Wu’s status, even the strong men of the Yin Corpse Demon Sect, who hated Senior Wu to the core, dared not have any dissatisfaction with her. They could only watch Senior Wu calmly leave Qianmai Canyon.”

"As for where Senior Wu is now, I don't know."

When Chen Xuan heard this, he looked calm but was inexplicably surprised.

"Senior Wu actually showed up alone at the Yuling Sect's base?"

"This... As a Jindan-stage elder of Miaoyin Sect, why did she come to my Yuling Sect's headquarters instead of protecting the Miaoyin Sect's cultivators at the critical moment?"

Chen Xuan was puzzled.

But he didn't think much about it. As long as he made sure Wu Zhaomei was safe and sound, that would be enough.

Next, Chen Xuan asked Zhu Qianxi for some other information about the Yuling Sect before sending Zhu Qianxi away.

After returning to the cave, Chen Xuan's mood could not calm down for a long time.

Especially when I think back to the great escape from Qianmai Canyon that I personally experienced because of my own failure to move forward, I still feel a lingering fear.

"The world of immortal cultivators is extremely cruel. I am now in the middle stage of foundation building, and I am just an ant in the world of immortal cultivators."

"Only by seizing the time to improve your realm can we have the foundation for everything."

"Right now, the cultivation resources I have have been used up. Next, I have to go out and look for some elixirs to improve my realm."
