Chapter 224: Meeting the Purple Python and Returning to Tongyou Valley

True Man Qingmang chuckled, quickly took out a sound transmission talisman, said a few words, and then activated it casually.

Chen Xuan didn't know that he had not been able to return to the Yuling Sect for all these years, which made Wu Zhaomei of the Miaoyin Sect very anxious.

When he arrived at the Yuling Sect's Hall of Merit with ease, he found that Master Zimang and Fairy Jindie had been waiting there for a long time.

"Greetings, Uncle Purple Python and Uncle Golden Butterfly!"

Chen Xuan hurriedly saluted to Master Zimang and Fairy Jindie.

The two of them glanced at Chen Xuan.

Seeing that Chen Xuan was already in the late stage of foundation building, he immediately revealed a happy smile.

“Junior Brother Chen, although you have the aptitude of four spiritual roots, your cultivation speed is very fast. It has only been a short time since we last met, and you have already reached the late stage of foundation building.” True Man Zimang laughed.

The Golden Butterfly Fairy also nodded with a smile.

"Isn't it? It seems that it won't be long before our Yuling Sect will have another Jindan-stage expert."

Chen Xuan smiled gratefully.

After thanking him, he said, "Uncle Jindie, if you hadn't helped me lead away the powerful Yinshi Demon Sect members who ambushed us in Qianmai Canyon last time, I would not have been able to leave smoothly. I owe you a big favor."

Fairy Golden Butterfly waved her hand nonchalantly.

"Junior Brother Chen, you are my disciple from the Yuling Sect. How could I watch you perish in the Thousand Veins Canyon?"

After a pause, Fairy Golden Butterfly continued, "Nephew Chen, in the last battle at Qianmai Canyon, our three major sects, Yuling Sect, Miaoyin Sect, and Shenyao Valley, were all attacked by the strong men of Yinshi Demon Sect. Only our Yuling Sect suffered the least losses. This is all thanks to you."

"This is what a disciple should do." Chen Xuan said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

When Fairy Golden Butterfly and True Man Purple Python saw this, they immediately began to favor Chen Xuan more.

Thinking about the last time in the Thousand Veins Canyon, if Chen Xuan had not been the first to discover the strong man of the Yinshi Demon Sect and sneaked into the headquarters of the three major sects in the Thousand Veins Canyon, allowing the three major sects to make preparations in advance, I am afraid that the three major sects would have suffered heavy losses. True Man Zimang looked at Chen Xuan with more and more joy.

"Junior Brother Chen, you are very good. You have made great contributions to our Yuling Sect many times."

"Don't worry, I will remember all your contributions."

"You are now in the late stage of foundation building. When you retreat to the Jindan stage, I will give you a chance to enter the advanced spirit gathering formation for retreat and cultivation. How about that?"

The Yuling Sect's advanced spirit gathering formation can only be used by cultivators above the Jindan stage.

A cultivator like Chen Xuan in the Foundation Establishment Stage, even if he wants to retreat to the Core Formation Stage, can only use an intermediate spirit gathering formation.

This time, Master Zimang made an exception and gave Chen Xuan the opportunity to enter the advanced spirit gathering formation for seclusion and cultivation. This is really a great thing for Chen Xuan.

"Thank you, uncle!"

Chen Xuan smiled happily and thanked him repeatedly.

Master Zimang smiled and nodded.

Soon, his expression turned serious.

"Junior Brother Chen, you said that during this period of time, after you left Qianmai Canyon, you went to Lingyun Market where Caiyun Sect is located, and also went to Cangwu Grassland. Is this true?"

The opening of the Yunxiao Holy Mountain on the Cangwu grassland is of great importance.

Even though Master Zimang had already received the jade slip sent by Chen Xuan, he still couldn't believe it.

If not for this, with his late Jindan stage realm, there would be no need for him to personally meet Chen Xuan, a foundation-building disciple, in the Yuling Sect's Hall of Merit.

"Reporting to Uncle Master, this is absolutely true." Chen Xuan said.

After a pause, Chen Xuan continued, "My two uncles, I did not lie about the opening of the Yunxiao Holy Mountain on the Cangwu Grassland. In addition, after I entered the Yunxiao Holy Mountain, I also met my senior from the Yuling Sect."

When Chen Xuan said this, he flipped his hand and took out the relics of Master Baichong and the storage bag that Master Qinglong gave to Chen Xuan.

The moment they saw these two things, the expressions of Purple Python and Golden Butterfly Fairy changed drastically.

"This is Senior Brother Bai Chong's stuff!"

"This is Senior Brother Qinglong's storage bag!"

Soon, Master Purple Python and Fairy Golden Butterfly took away Master Azure Dragon and Master Hundred Insects' things at the same time and checked them carefully.

After confirming that these things were exactly what belonged to Master Baichong and Master Qinglong, Master Zimang's serious gaze quickly fell on Chen Xuan.

"Nephew Chen, you are not allowed to leave out a single word about your encounter with Brother Qinglong. Tell me in detail."

"This matter is not only related to the safety of our Yuling Sect, but also to the safety of the entire Linhezhou cultivation world."

Chen Xuan had long known that this matter was of great importance.

After nodding, he recounted in detail his encounter with Master Qinglong.

He even took out the magic Qinglong Sword that Master Qinglong had given him.

After Master Zimang and Fairy Jindie listened to Chen Xuan's story in detail and tested the magic weapon Qinglong Sword, they seemed to understand something. After looking at each other, they showed an unprecedented solemn look at the same time.

"No wonder the Yin Corpse Demon Sect took the initiative to show goodwill to our Yuling Sect these days and ended the small-scale battles between them and our three major sects."

"It seems that the Yinshi Demon Sect has also noticed something is wrong. Are they actively preparing for war?"

Master Zimang had a serious look on his face.

Fairy Golden Butterfly nodded in agreement.

"Brother Zimang, I'm afraid that's exactly what happened. The Yin Corpse Demon Sect has been colluding with Master Hulan over the years. Naturally, they have more information than us."

"In addition, we don't know whether the powerful people from the Yinshi Demon Sect participated in the opening of Yunxiao Holy Mountain this time."

"However, this matter is of great importance. We, the Yuling Sect, cannot solve it alone. We must get the other major sects in Linhezhou to join forces."

After hearing this, Master Zimang immediately shook his head.

"Junior sister, you still underestimate this matter. If the great demon-sealing formation in the Holy Cloud Mountain is opened, even if only a fragment of the soul of the great demon sealed inside escapes, it will be a great threat to our Linhezhou cultivation world and Master Hulan on the Cangwu grassland."

"The seven major immortal cultivator sects in Linhezhou alone cannot handle this matter. We must get all the immortal cultivators in Linhezhou to participate."

Fairy Golden Butterfly nodded repeatedly.

"Brother, what you said is very true. If that is the case, I will contact fellow Taoists from other sects and come to my Yuling Sect to discuss this matter."

"Well, this matter must be handled quickly. In addition, our Yuling Sect also needs to send strong men to Cangwu Grassland as soon as possible. If the ancient demons really appear, it will be a huge threat to all of us cultivators."

After Master Zimang finished speaking, Fairy Jindie left quickly.

However, Chen Xuan did not leave, but stood there quietly.

Only then did Purple Python ask Chen Xuan a few more questions. After Chen Xuan answered them in detail, Purple Python smiled and said, "Nephew Chen, it seems that you have made great contributions to our Yuling Sect again this time."

Having said that, Master Zimang casually tossed Master Bai Chong's relics and Master Qinglong's magic weapon, the Qinglong Sword, back to Chen Xuan.

"Although these relics belong to the two brothers, since you have a connection with them, they are yours."

"Besides, you have made a great contribution this time. Do you have any ideas?"

"In my Yuling Sect, we never mistreat our disciples."

Master Zimang laughed.

Chen Xuan looked very happy.

After saying thank you, he thought about it in detail for a while before speaking carefully.

"Uncle Master, I am now in the late stage of foundation building, not far from the Jindan stage. If possible, I plan to exchange for a natural treasure that will help me reach the Jindan stage."

"Haha, it's true."

Master Zimang laughed.

Soon, he added: "I agree to your request. When you reach the late stage of foundation building, you can exchange these natural treasures at any time."

As he spoke, Master Zimang threw a token to Chen Xuan.

It is the token used to exchange rare treasures in the Yuling Sect.

Chen Xuan took the token, thanked him happily, and put it away properly.

"Junior Brother Chen, don't tell anyone about what happened today. Also, don't leave the Yuling Sect during this period of time. Just practice well in the sect." said Master Zimang.

He said this not because he was worried about Chen Xuan, but because he was concerned about Chen Xuan's safety.

After all, the opening of Yunxiao Holy Mountain is a matter of great importance.

All major sects will try their best to collect relevant information.

As a cultivator who provides information, Chen Xuan will definitely attract attention from all parties.

If Chen Xuan was allowed to go outside the Yuling Sect, he might be attacked by a Jindan or even Yuanying stage warrior in any minute.

Master Zimang doesn't want Chen Xuan to have any accident.

"Thank you, uncle-master. During this period of time, I will practice well in the sect and will not go anywhere."

Chen Xuan agreed and then said goodbye and left.

It has been such a long time since I returned to Yuling Sect.

Looking at everything familiar, Chen Xuan felt very at home.

Along the way, he walked and stopped, using the wind-controlling talisman.

It took more than an hour to finally return to the outside of Tongyou Valley.

The vast array of fog lingered in the secluded valley.

With Chen Xuan's current divine consciousness, he can completely penetrate the fog and see everything in Tongyou Valley clearly.

I saw that large tracts of fertile land had been reclaimed and many extremely precious medicinal herbs had been planted.

Although these spiritual medicines are in the seedling stage and cannot be used for the time being, Chen Xuan believes that he will be able to earn a lot of spirit stones once this batch of spiritual medicines mature.

As for other places in Tongyou Valley, they are still the same.

Everything is in order and in good order.

"During the years I was away, Senior Brother Liu took care of everything. It was really hard work for him."

Chen Xuan smiled with satisfaction.

As he spoke, he released the aura from his body.

Soon, Liu Lan's surprised voice was heard from Tongyou Valley.

"Uncle Chen, you're back?"

Soon, Liu Lan, Zhang Qingyue, Niu Xiaoshan and Zhu Yu appeared in front of Chen Xuan one after another.

Chen Xuan’s divine sense swept over these people.

It was discovered that Liu Lan's realm was still the great perfection realm of the tenth level of Qi Refining.

However, Niu Xiaoshan and Zhu Yu have also reached the great perfection of the tenth level of Qi Refining.

Only Zhang Qingyue, due to his young age, has only reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.
