Chapter 39: Secret Conversation, Hope of Joining the Sect

Chen Xuan was stunned.

Looking at Su Muyao who was standing in front of him, he quickly said seriously: "Fairy, do you and I know each other?"

"Hehe, fellow Daoist, you are indeed a noble man who forgets things easily. Although your appearance is very different from before, your demeanor and aura have not changed at all. You can't fool me."

Su Muyao smiled.

Then, she moved her lips slightly and sent a message to Chen Xuan.

"Fellow Daoist, we met in the West Street Market of Canglan City. I hope you are doing well."

Seeing that Su Muyao really recognized his identity, Chen Xuan's vigilance instantly reached the extreme.

His spiritual thoughts spread rapidly, and when he was sure that Su Muyao came to see him alone, Chen Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"If that's the case, how about we find a place to talk in detail?" Chen Xuan said.

"I couldn't ask for more. If you don't mind, please go to the cave I rented." Su Muyao said.

Chen Xuan nodded.

Soon, he and Su Muyao arrived at Taixuan Valley, a cave with beautiful environment and abundant spiritual energy.

Although this cave was rented temporarily by Su Muyao, it was still decorated very warmly and uniquely.

When Chen Xuan came in, there was a faint fragrance.

Chen Xuan suddenly felt relaxed and happy.

"What kind of incense is this? It actually has the miraculous effect of calming the mind and concentrating the spirit?"

Chen Xuan asked curiously.

Su Muyao smiled and motioned Chen Xuan to sit down. She also ordered a cup of spiritual tea for Chen Xuan and then said with a smile: "This is the concentration incense from Caiyun Sect, which has the miraculous effect of calming the mind. If you like it, I can give you some."

"No merit, no reward. Please tell me directly, what is the reason for you to come to me this time?"

Chen Xuan shook his head and refused directly.

Su Muyao still had a sweet smile on her pretty face, and she was not angry because Chen Xuan rejected her kindness.

Su Muyao stared at Chen Xuan with her beautiful eyes, carefully studying him for a long time before she smiled and said, "I have known you for such a long time, but I have never asked for your name. I am Su Muyao from the Su family of Tianling Peak."

"So you are Fairy Su from the Su family. I am so sorry for the disrespect. My name is Chen Xuan, and I am a casual cultivator."

Chen Xuan said calmly.

There was a gleam of light in Su Muyao's beautiful eyes.

"Self-cultivator? Fellow Daoist Chen, you...are really not a genius from some family?"

"Why do you say that, fairy?"

Chen Xuan looked surprised.

"When I first met Fellow Daoist Chen in the street market west of Canglan City, Fellow Daoist was only at the third level of Qi Refining. It has only been a few years since we last met, and Fellow Daoist is already at the seventh level of Qi Refining."

"Your cultivation talent is so high, what else can you be but a genius?"

Seeing that Su Muyao didn't look like she was lying at all, Chen Xuan was a little surprised.

He himself did not understand the cultivation speed of the immortal cultivators.

In Chen Xuan's mind, even his cultivation speed was really slow.

Of course, if the time Chen Xuan spent practicing in the Beast Taming Tower is taken into account, Chen Xuan’s practice speed can only be described as average.

"Fairy, you are too kind. I have only improved my cultivation speed so quickly over the years because of other opportunities."

Chen Xuan laughed.

Soon, he took the initiative to speak again: "Fairy Su, you are also here to participate in the Ascension Conference this time, right? Can you tell me about the Ascension Conference in detail?"

"Daoyou is really anxious."

Su Muyao said this but did not refuse.

After a moment of hesitation, Su Muyao began to explain seriously.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, the Taixuan Mountain Ascension Conference is a grand event held by the seven major immortal cultivation sects in Linhezhou to select talented disciples."

"Since Fellow Daoist Chen is able to come to Taixuan Valley, he must be familiar with the requirements for participating in the Taixuan Mountain Immortal Ascension Conference."

"Bone age is under fifty, and the realm is the eighth level of Qi Refining. These are just the basic conditions for the major sects to select new disciples."

"But if you want to truly become a member of the seven great sects of immortal cultivators, you still need to fight in the arena and have something remarkable to show for yourself."

"Of course, this is only the way that ordinary cultivators know about to join the seven major sects."

Having said this, Su Muyao paused.

Seeing Chen Xuan's great interest at the moment, Su Muyao smiled again and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, what I am going to say next may not be known by ordinary fellow Daoists. I also know a little about it because my uncle is an elder in the foundation-building stage of the Yuling Sect."

After hearing this, Chen Xuan understood Su Muyao's thoughts.

With a flip of his palm, a bottle of Qi Gathering Powder immediately appeared in his hand.

"If the fairy can tell me the truth, this bottle of Qi Gathering Powder will be hers."

"hehe!"

Su Muyao smiled slightly.

Her beautiful eyes glanced at the low-grade Qi gathering weapon in Chen Xuan's hand, and her interest immediately decreased.

Chen Xuan knew that the Qi Gathering Powder he took out was of too low a value and Su Muyao looked down on it.

After a brief pause, Chen Xuan said, "Whatever Fairy Su wants, why not just name a price?"

"I just need a favor from you, how about that?"

"My favor?"

Chen Xuan was slightly stunned.

His current realm is only the seventh level of Qi Refining.

In Taixuan Valley, cultivators at his level are as numerous as crucian carp crossing the river.

Besides, he is just a casual cultivator without any force to support him.

To put it bluntly, Chen Xuan's favor is worthless.

But Su Muyao spoke so seriously that even Chen Xuan couldn't believe it: "Fairy, are you sure?"

"That's right, I just need a favor from you. If you agree, I will continue and tell you some ways to get started that you don't know. Maybe it will be of some help to you in becoming a cultivator of the seven major sects." Su Muyao nodded.

Chen Xuan looked at Su Muyao in confusion, and after a long pause he said, "As long as the fairy's request is within my ability, I don't mind owing you a favor."

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Chen. I, Su Muyao, will never do anything to embarrass others."

Su Muyao smiled.

Seeing that Chen Xuan was still worried, Su Muyao explained, "I am just optimistic about your future, Chen Daoyou. This is an investment. Are you relieved this time?"

"I see. Please continue, Fairy Su."

Chen Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes full of anticipation.

Su Muyao nodded and continued speaking.

"If you want to become a cultivator of the seven major sects, you don't have to go through the Taixuan Mountain Ascension Conference."

"Those immortal cultivators who have made significant contributions to the seven major immortal cultivator sects can join the seven major immortal cultivator sects based on their merits."

"In addition, cultivators holding the Immortal Ascension Order can also become disciples of the seven major sects unconditionally."

When Chen Xuan heard this, his eyes lit up.

"The jade slip that I got from Xiang Yunfei should be very important to the Yuling Sect. I just don't know if it can be considered a great achievement if I hand it over to the Yuling Sect?" Chen Xuan said secretly.

But Chen Xuan was not in a hurry.

After asking Su Muyao indirectly, he made up his mind.

"Fairy Su, you just said that your uncle is also an elder of the Yuling Sect? Is he in Taixuan Valley now? If so, can you let me see him?"
