Chapter 458: Reforging the Dragon Sword, Liu Lan's Request

Purple gold sand!

This is the refining material that helps the natal magic weapon to communicate with spirits.

The reason why many magical weapons of immortal cultivators can be spiritual is that they are mixed with purple gold sand.

However, it is very rare to see a cultivator like Chen Xuan who can take out a handful of purple gold sand.

"Junior brother, are you really planning to integrate so much purple gold sand into the Ancient Dragon Subduing Sword? This... is too extravagant."

True Man Fire Crow looked envious.

He picked up the purple gold sand from Chen Xuan's hand and looked at it over and over again.

The more I look at it, the more envious I become.

"Ahem, Senior Brother, do you mean that I have too much purple gold sand?"

Chen Xuan coughed lightly and said quickly.

True Man Fire Crow shook his head, but his eyes never left the purple gold sand.

"Junior brother, the more purple gold sand is mixed into the immortal cultivator's life magic weapon, the better. However, your ancient dragon sword has as many as 108 pieces."

"I told you when I was refining it. It is very difficult to cultivate so many life-saving magic weapons to the level of spiritual communication."

"But, I see that your Ancient Dragon Sword is already full of spirituality. If you add the purple gold sand and cultivate it well, it might really reach the initial spiritual level."

"But, with so much purple gold sand, are you really planning to mix it all into the Ancient Dragon Sword?"

As a weapon refiner, Master Huo Ya is extremely fond of all kinds of extremely rare weapon refining materials.

After seeing the purple gold sand that Chen Xuan took out, he couldn't let it go.

Chen Xuan naturally knew True Man Fire Crow.

He laughed and took out a handful of purple gold sand.

"Brother Huo Ya, these purple gold sands are not used to recast the Ancient Dragon Sword for me."

“This… what is that for? Junior brother, you already have so many life-defining magic weapons, so don’t let me refine another one. It’s not worth it!”

True Man Fire Crow kept persuading him.

Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Brother, you have helped me a lot over the years. These purple gold sands are my thank you gift to you."

Without waiting for Master Fire Crow to speak, Chen Xuan flipped his hand, took out a storage bag and handed it to Master Fire Crow.

"Brother, the purple gold sand here is what I plan to integrate into the Ancient Dragon Subduing Sword. Anyway, I don't know much about recasting the Ancient Dragon Subduing Sword, so this time I have to ask you to make the decision for me." Chen Xuan said.

True Man Fire Crow was stunned. He took the storage bag handed over by Chen Xuan, and was completely stunned when he saw that it was filled with a large amount of purple gold sand.

"It's too extravagant, really too extravagant. Junior brother, are you really planning to use up so much purple gold sand at once to recast the Ancient Dragon Subduing Sword?" Fire Crow Master said in disbelief.

Seeing Chen Xuan nodded seriously, Fire Crow said, "If that's the case, leave this matter to me. I guarantee that the power of the Dragon Subduing Sword recast this time will definitely be stronger than the last time. If you are willing to spend some time, in less than a hundred years, your Dragon Subduing Sword should be able to reach the initial spiritual level."

"If that's the case, I really want to thank you, brother."

Chen Xuan was extremely happy.

If the Dragon Subduing Sword could gain initial spiritual power, its power would naturally increase significantly.

Even the initial spiritual sword of the Dragon Subduing Sword has a certain function of automatically protecting its master.

This is an extra layer of safety for Chen Xuan, who is always in danger.

"Don't worry, Junior Brother. However, the process of recasting the Ancient Dragon Sword is a bit complicated this time."

"I need to refine these purple gold sands first, and then integrate them into the Ancient Dragon Sword."

"It will probably take more than a year to succeed. Junior brother, just wait patiently."

True Man Fire Crow explained.

Chen Xuan nodded, and after chatting with True Man Fire Crow about some specific details of recasting the Ancient Dragon Subduing Sword, True Man Fire Crow left the meeting hall.

Chen Xuan did not waste any time and soon appeared in front of Tongyou Valley.

Nearly a hundred cultivators were seen waiting in unison at the entrance of Tongyou Valley, awaiting Chen Xuan's arrival.

The leaders were Chen Xuan's confidants including Liu Lan, Golden Bird Fairy, Hao Zhengmei, Zhu Yu, Zhang Qingyue, Niu Xiaoshan and others.

Afterwards, there were many new spirit plant farmers, beast tamers and other menial disciples who came to Tongyou Valley.

They had already received the news when Chen Xuan just came back.

Under the leadership of Liu Lan, everyone had been waiting at the entrance of the valley.

At this moment, after finally seeing Chen Xuan return, all the cultivators shouted excitedly.

"Welcome back, Elder Chen."

"Welcome back Uncle Chen!"

……

Chen Xuan's eyes swept over everyone.

Seeing that Liu Lan had reached the late stage of foundation building, his dual cultivation partner, Fairy Golden Bird, had also reached the middle stage of foundation building.

As for Niu Xiaoshan and Zhu Yu, they also successfully advanced to the middle stage of foundation building.

Zhang Qingyue and Hao Zhengmei also successfully established their foundation.

In addition to them, there are many cultivators in Tongyou Valley who have reached the tenth level of Qi Refining.

If these people are carefully trained, there is a high probability that they will be able to advance to the foundation-building stage in the future.

For Tongyou Valley, it is also a huge force with great potential.

"Haha, the intention is there. Back off!"

Chen Xuan smiled kindly.

With a wave of his hand, more than 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones were casually scattered around.

It fell towards the Qi Refining Stage cultivators present.

When everyone saw this, they were all delighted.

After putting away their own spiritual stones, everyone thanked Chen Xuan again and left in an orderly manner.

Soon, only Chen Xuan's confidants were left at the entrance of Tongyou Valley.

"Welcome back Master Chen!"

Liu Lan looked at Chen Xuan with excitement.

But when he saluted Chen Xuan, he was very meticulous.

"Brother, you are so polite. During the time I was away, Tongyou Valley has prospered today thanks to you taking charge of the overall situation. I can't thank you enough."

Chen Xuan smiled slightly.

His divine sense swept over Liu Lan.

Seeing that Liu Lan was already in the late stage of foundation building, but still had some distance to go before he could condense the golden elixir, he immediately said with a smile: "Brother, if you work harder, you may be able to successfully advance to the Jindan stage. When the time comes, I will definitely prepare a set of natural materials and treasures for you to achieve the Jindan stage."

"Thank you, Master Chen!"

Liu Lan smiled gratefully.

Soon, he looked at the Goldfinch Fairy beside him.

The Golden Bird Fairy understood what he meant and walked happily to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuanhao's eyes swept over the Golden Bird Fairy.

When he saw that her originally charming figure was a little bloated and her belly was bulging, he was immediately overjoyed.

"Brother, are you pregnant?"

Chen Xuan was extremely surprised.

It wasn't long before Fairy Goldfinch and Liu Lan became a dual cultivation partner.

But in such a short time, Fairy Goldfinch already had little Liu Lan.

This is truly the greatest joyous event in Tongyou Valley.

As the master of Tongyou Valley, Chen Xuan was naturally very happy.

"Haha, senior brothers and sisters, congratulations!"

Chen Xuan smiled happily.

He took out 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones, some top-grade spirit weapons, and top-grade elixirs as gifts for Liu Lan.

"Thank you, junior brother!"

Liu Lan thanked him and then put away all the things.

Next, Chen Xuan chatted with everyone for a few more words before returning to his cave with everyone.

After not coming back for so many years, Chen Xuan’s cave remains the same.

hum!

With Chen Xuan's casual wave of his hand, the protective formation set up here has been fully activated.

Without waiting for Chen Xuan to speak, Liu Lan hurriedly handed several jade slips to Chen Xuan.

"Uncle Chen, these are the major events that have happened in the Linhezhou cultivation world in recent years. I have recorded them in detail. Please take a look."

Chen Xuan nodded, put the jade slip away, and casually placed it aside.

Seeing this, Liu Lan took out a few jade slips and handed them to Chen Xuan.

"This is the revenue of the various industries we have developed in Tongyou Valley over the years."

Chen Xuan looked surprised.

The divine thought quickly fell into the jade slip.

When he saw the long number on the back of the jade slip, he was immediately surprised.

"Senior Brother, what kind of business do we have in Tongyou Valley? Why do we make so much spirit stones?" Chen Xuan asked curiously.

Tongyou Valley’s accounts are very clear.

After deducting various costs and expenses over the years, there is actually a surplus of more than 10 million medium-grade spirit stones.

This is also a huge income for Chen Xuan.

"Reporting to Uncle Chen. In recent years, under the leadership of Senior Brother Liu, we have started the business of spiritual beasts in Tongyou Valley."

"Especially in Qingyun Market, he is sought after by many fellow Taoists."

"That's why we can earn so many spirit stones."

Zhu Yu explained with a smile.

Chen Xuan nodded, glanced at Zhu Yu and Niu Xiaoshan, and couldn't help looking curious.

"I remember that you and Xiaoshan have been in charge of Qingyun Market. Why are you here now?"

"Uncle Chen, don't get me wrong. My husband and I came back this time to take turns to rest. We have been running our store in Qingyun Market."

Seeing that Chen Xuan seemed to have misunderstood something, Niu Xiaoshan hurriedly explained.

However, Chen Xuan had no intention of investigating further.

He knew Liu Lan very well. Niu Xiaoshan and Zhu Yu could return to Tongyou Valley with Liu Lan's consent.

In that case, he has nothing to worry about.

"I have already looked into the business matters. In recent years, our Tongyou Valley has developed well."

"But, we were able to earn so many spirit stones. In addition to our own efforts, we also benefited from the help of the sect."

"How about this, take out 30% of these spirit stones and hand them over to the sect. As for the rest, take out half and reward them to the more outstanding disciples in Tongyou Valley."

Chen Xuan ordered.

Seeing this, Liu Lan quickly agreed.

After a pause, Chen Xuan continued, "From now on, Senior Brother Liu, you will be fully responsible for every business we have in Tongyou Valley. There is no need for you to bring these accounts to me. Just handle them yourself."

"I believe that you are better at handling these matters than I am at handling them myself."

Seeing that Chen Xuan still trusted Liu Lan, Liu Lan was also very happy.

The Goldfinch Fairy standing by was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

Taking this opportunity, Chen Xuan gave everyone some instructions on their martial arts before sending most of them away.

Only Liu Lan was left alone.

Seeing Liu Lan remained silent, Chen Xuan couldn't help but frown.

"Brother, I see that you seem to be a little worried this time. What difficulties have you encountered?"

"If that's the case, you might as well tell me. Maybe I can come forward and solve the problem for you."

Liu Lan couldn't help but look overjoyed when he heard this.

"Thank you for your concern, Uncle Chen. Even if you didn't ask, I was going to tell you about the difficulties I encountered."

Speaking of this, Liu Lan's expression darkened.

After a moment of silence, he said again: "Uncle Chen, you also know that although I have advanced to the foundation-building stage, my life span is only a short two hundred years."

"Golden Sparrow and I already have a child. In the next period of time, I will have to split my attention to take care of them. I naturally don't dare to hope for advancement to the Jindan stage."

"So, I ask Uncle Chen to take care of them after I pass away, in consideration of my years of hard work in serving you."

"I, Liu Lan, would like to thank Uncle Chen."

When Chen Xuan heard this, his expression suddenly became extremely solemn.

An indescribable sadness made him unable to calm down for a long time.
