Chapter 2253 Fate, Chen Peng Advances to the Golden Immortal Realm
"Farewell, Master!"
Chen Xuan and Bai Zhi quickly bowed in the direction Li Xiaoyao had left.
After Li Xiaoyao completely disappeared from the world, Chen Xuan looked at Bai Zhi with a puzzled expression.
"You're actually Master's disciple?"
"This...didn't you guess it?"
What did I guess?
"Hehe, if we weren't connected, why would I have helped you in the Myriad Immortals Map Secret Realm?"
"Why...why didn't you say so sooner?"
"My master forbade me to tell!"
Bai Zhi shook his head.
Seeing Chen Xuan staring at him with a serious expression, Bai Zhi gave an awkward smile.
"Junior brother, it's not that I'm being petty, but Master really said that!"
He said that the connection between him and you was not predetermined. It was an honor for him to meet you this time. Whether you can become his disciple depends on other opportunities!
After thinking about it carefully for a while, Chen Xuan felt that Bai Zhi's words were probably not made up.
"What does Master mean by these words? Is there something I don't know about?"
Chen Xuan looked confused.
After thinking for a long time, Chen Xuan still couldn't figure out the reason, so he looked at Bai Zhi with a puzzled expression.
"Brother Bai?"
"Junior Brother Chen, we are brothers, so if there's anything you want to say, please speak frankly!"
"Have we met somewhere before?"
"Have we... met before?"
Bai Zhi said this, but his expression was somewhat unnatural.
At that moment, Chen Xuan instantly realized that he must have met Bai Zhi before.
It's just that so much time has passed that I've forgotten.
After thinking carefully for a long time, Chen Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up.
"I remember meeting you once in the Spirit Realm, didn't I, Senior Brother Bai?" Chen Xuan asked.
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi gave an awkward smile.
"Junior Brother Chen, don't overthink it. I only went to the Spirit Realm for training back then. Even if we had some grudges, it's not enough for you to be jealous of me for so many years, is it?" Bai Zhi said with a dry laugh.
Chen Xuan chuckled and said, "Hehe, back then, when I was with the Water Spirit Clan, I was with a female cultivator named Bai Yao. Have you forgotten, Senior Brother?"
Cultivators all possess the ability to remember everything they see.
Bai Zhi was no exception.
However, there are always some unpleasant things to talk about back then.
He naturally didn't want to bring it up again.
Hearing Chen Xuan's words, Bai Zhi could only bite the bullet and agree, "Back then, I was indeed with a female cultivator named Bai Yao. However, she was definitely a member of the Water Spirit Clan. Moreover, Junior Brother, you probably don't know this. The memories of those of us who enter the lower planes for training are sealed. Only when we encounter a true crisis of death will our memories be truly unlocked!"
"Therefore, I myself don't remember too many of the grudges between you and me in the spirit world back then. If I have wronged you in any way during that time, please forgive me!"
Bai Zhi looked sincere.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan immediately laughed and said, "Senior Brother Bai, since you've put it that way, how could I possibly cause you trouble? But speaking of which, your appearance in the Myriad Immortals Map Secret Realm this time wasn't simply for training, was it?"
"Of course! I was also planning to find an opportunity to break through to the Golden Immortal realm. Unfortunately, after searching for so long, I have found nothing!"
"Hehe, is this what you're looking for, Senior Brother?"
Chen Xuan smiled indifferently.
A magical fruit suddenly appeared in his hand.
"This is... a top-grade Immortal Fruit?"
Bai Zhi's eyes lit up.
If it were someone else holding the Bodhi Immortal Fruit, Bai Zhi would definitely act immediately to snatch it back.
But facing Chen Xuan, he naturally couldn't bring himself to attack.
Chen Xuan could easily see through Bai Zhi's expression.
With a faint smile, she tossed the Immortal Fruit in her hand to Bai Zhi.
Consider this a small gift from me to you, senior brother!
"Thank you very much, Junior Brother Chen! If you ever encounter any danger in the future, just come to me. I can't say for sure about other places, but in Zhongzhou, I'll definitely protect you!"
"Zhongzhou? That's still quite far from where I am now!"
Chen Xuan looked regretful.
Zhongzhou!
This is the core of the entire True Immortal Realm.
It is said that the most famous holy lands in the True Immortal Realm are all located in Zhongzhou.
It also boasts the most abundant cultivation resources in Zhongzhou.
If there were true immortals who could make a trip to the Central Plains, it would be enough to boast about for a lifetime.
"Hehe, junior brother, you may not know this, but Master has been staying in Zhongzhou all these years. If you have the chance in the future, remember to come and find me!"
Bai Zhi explained with a smile.
As he spoke, he took out a waist token and handed it to Chen Xuan.
The carving on the waist tag was quite simple.
In the center of some intricate patterns, the character "白" (white) is carved.
Apart from that, there was nothing special about it.
Chen Xuan examined it carefully for a while but found nothing unusual.
"Thank you, Senior Brother. If I ever have the chance to go to Zhongzhou in the future, I will definitely come to find you and Master!"
Chen Xuan smiled slightly and carefully put away the waist token.
"Haha, junior brother, then we'll meet again someday. I look forward to the day you come to Zhongzhou. Farewell!"
Bai Zhi laughed and left immediately, unable to wait any longer.
Chen Xuan looked at Bai Zhi's departing figure and gave a strange smile.
"Is this guy afraid I'll settle old scores with him? Oh well, back then I was just a nobody cultivator in the spirit realm!"
"Back then, the conflict with the Water Spirit Clan was neither right nor wrong."
After Chen Xuan finished speaking, he looked at the corpses of the powerful demons on the ground.
Not long ago, after these powerful demons were killed by Li Xiaoyao, their bodies were shattered beyond recognition after being affected by the battle between Li Xiaoyao and the Xuan Yin Old Demon's split souls.
However, these guys' cultivation levels are quite impressive.
Chen Xuan didn't intend to waste it.
With a thought, he released all the Gold-Eating Insects, letting them devour the corpses of these powerful demons until they were completely consumed. Only then did he transform into a streak of light and disappear swiftly.
Several days later, Chen Xuan appeared in a secluded valley.
The ethereal atmosphere here isn't particularly strong.
But it's much denser than the outside air.
After a moment's hesitation, Chen Xuan released a swarm of gold-devouring insects and an army of iron-tailed scorpions to guard the valley.
They then had Chen Xie and other demonic beasts join forces to open up a cave and clear out the nearby demonic beasts.
He then took out a relatively weak defensive array and set it up in the valley.
After dealing with this matter, Chen Xuan couldn't wait to activate the formation and enter the Immortal Beast Tower.
Wow!
In the Fairy Beast Tower, majestic fairy energy gathered rapidly.
At that moment, Chen Xuan plopped down on the ground and let out a long sigh of relief.
His expression was one of utter exhaustion.
"During this time, I was relentlessly pursued by the Xuan Yin Old Demon Lord's soul. If I hadn't been fortunate enough to encounter my master, I probably would have perished long ago."
"In that case, I'll have a good night's sleep first!"
As Chen Xuan spoke, his double eyelids began to droop.
Soon, he lay down on the ground and fell into a good sleep.
Loud snoring!
No words for a moment!
Two days passed while waiting in the Immortal Beast Tower.
Chen Xuan then opened his eyes.
The weariness on his face vanished instantly.
However, his face was still somewhat pale.
Wow!
With a thought, Chen Xuan quickly examined his own body internally.
He discovered that the injuries inside his body were extremely serious.
In particular, many meridians showed signs of rupture.
If he doesn't seize the time to meditate and heal his injuries, the damage to his body may affect the foundation of his Dao.
If things really come to that, Chen Xuan's cultivation level will probably only remain at the late stage of Celestial Immortal for the rest of his life.
"I never imagined my condition would be so serious. In that case, I'll refine some exquisite healing pills first!"
Chen Xuan frowned slightly.
On a whim, he left the spot.
When he returned, he had a considerable amount of elixirs for refining the Exquisite Healing Pill.
These elixirs were spoils of war that Chen Xuan had acquired during this period.
Among them are the main ingredients for refining the Exquisite Healing Pill.
Wow!
With a thought, the instant Chen Xuan activated the Seven-Colored Cauldron, Chen Li transformed into a ball of golden flame, appearing beneath the cauldron and rapidly releasing terrifying high temperatures.
Chen Xuan, however, released his divine sense and carefully monitored the situation inside the Seven-Colored Cauldron.
After ensuring that the temperature inside the Seven-Colored Cauldron reached the optimal temperature for alchemy, he then methodically threw the prepared elixirs into the Immortal Beast Tower.
Wow!
Before long, the terrifyingly high temperature completely refined the immortal medicine that Chen Xuan had dripped into the Immortal Beast Tower.
The purest medicinal essence remained entirely within the Seven-Colored Treasure Cauldron.
The impurities were instantly expelled from the Seven-Colored Treasure Cauldron.
More than an hour later, the tightly sealed lid of the seven-colored cauldron suddenly trembled violently.
As expected, Chen Xuan unleashed a series of profound spells towards the top of the Seven-Colored Treasure Cauldron.
Snapped!
With a loud bang, the lid of the Seven-Colored Treasure Cauldron opened completely.
The twelve pills inside then filed out one after another.
At that very moment, a ball of pill tribulation, several tens of feet in size, suddenly descended from the sky, completely enveloping all the pills.
The crackling thunder continued to resound, subjecting all the pills to a terrifying tribulation.
Chen Xuan, however, was not worried at all.
He sat quietly in the same spot, waiting for the alchemical tribulation to end.
Half an hour later, the calamity finally dissipated.
The twelve pills were also fully presented to Chen Xuan.
Wow!
Chen Xuan casually grabbed twelve pills and immediately took them in his hand.
The moment his divine sense landed on it, Chen Xuan immediately revealed a look of surprise.
On the surface of each of the twelve pills, there was a prominent Dao-level pill Dao pattern.
In addition, each pill has four ordinary alchemy patterns on its surface.
This also means that each of these twelve pills is a high-grade Dao-level pill.
"They're all top-grade Dao-level pills? It seems my alchemy skills have improved once again!"
Chen Xuan was overjoyed.
Taking this opportunity, he refined five more batches of exquisite healing pills before stopping.
"Five furnaces of exquisite healing pills, totaling sixty pills. Each one is a top-grade Dao-level pill!"
"My alchemy skills have indeed made great progress."
"However, it would be difficult to advance further. Unless I can advance to the Great Perfection of the Late Stage of the Celestial Immortal Realm, or Chen Li advances to the Late Stage of the Celestial Immortal Realm."
Chen Xuan muttered softly.
He quickly calmed himself, picked up a high-grade Dao-level Linglong Healing Pill, and put it directly into his mouth.
Wow!
The moment the Free and Unfettered Sword Technique was activated, the medicinal power of the Dao-grade superior Linglong Healing Pill was completely activated by Chen Xuan and rapidly circulated within his body.
Soon, Chen Xuan was pleasantly surprised to find that his injuries were gradually healing under the influence of the strong medicinal power.
Even the hidden injuries deep within the body are slowly healing at this moment.
"The effects of the Dao-grade superior healing pills have never disappointed me. However, my injuries this time are quite severe, so I'm afraid I'll need to refine more exquisite healing pills!"
Chen Xuan smiled slightly and seized the time to continue his seclusion and healing.
More than half a year has passed since they entered the Immortal Beast Tower.
When Chen Xuan had used up half of the top-grade Dao-level Linglong Healing Pills he had, his injuries were finally healed.
On this day, just as Chen Xuan was preparing to meditate and cultivate, a terrifying pressure suddenly emerged from the Immortal Beast Tower.
This caused Chen Xuan's expression to change slightly.
He quickly got up and disappeared from the spot.
When it reappears, it is already in the lightning-attribute mimicry space.
As Chen Peng, who was in seclusion here cultivating, was constantly erupting with terrifying lightning power.
A terrifying aura continued to rise.
They are getting closer and closer to the Golden Immortal realm.
Chen Xuan's gaze swept over Chen Peng, and he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
"Is this... Chen Peng about to advance to the Golden Immortal realm?"
