Chapter 575: Unexpected Discovery, Uncovering Identity

"I don't care about that. No matter what, you must succeed in refining it for me. Otherwise, not only will I not pay you, but I will also punish you severely."

Fairy Qingling looked at Chen Xuan with a strange smile.

Chen Xuan could see that Fairy Qingling was not joking with him.

If Chen Xuan is unable to refine the elixir, Fairy Qingling will really attack Chen Xuan.

"Ahem, fairy, can I regret it now?"

Chen Xuan coughed lightly and pretended to be scared.

"What do you say?"

Fairy Qingling smiled triumphantly.

After giving Chen Xuan some more instructions, he walked out of the secret room.

However, Chen Xuan looked at Fairy Qingling with a strange smile.

"Fairy Qingling? You came to Fahua Temple at this time, and you specifically asked me to make the elixir. I don't know if this is God's will or a coincidence?"

Chen Xuan smiled strangely.

After throwing aside the storage bag left by Fairy Qingling, he secretly woke up the fox.

"Master, are you looking for me?" said the fox.

"Fox, did you see that Qingling Fairy just now?" Chen Xuan said.

Fox nodded and said quickly, "Master, that Fairy Qingling is really arrogant. Do you want Fox to take action secretly and eliminate her directly?"

"Eliminate? Haha, Fox, don't do anything reckless. This is the Fahua Temple. Since this Qingling Fairy can sneak into the Fahua Temple so blatantly, she must be someone important. Your mission is to keep an eye on this Qingling Fairy for me and see what she is going to do."

"Yes!"

The fox agreed and left quickly.

When communicating with Fairy Qingling just now, although Chen Xuan did not dare to push his spiritual power to the extreme, he could see that Fairy Qingling was not using her true appearance at all.

Even when Fairy Qingling threatened Chen Xuan just now, Chen Xuan clearly felt a strong sense of crisis.

This situation has never happened before.

Chen Xuan didn't believe that Fairy Qingling, a cultivator who had reached the tenth level of Qi Refining, could give him such a feeling.

"There must be something wrong with Fairy Qingling's identity. As for whether the immortal cultivators of Fahua Temple can see it, that is not something I care about."

"These days, I just need to do my own thing step by step."

"As for Fairy Qingling's purpose, what does it have to do with a mere Qi Refining Stage cultivator like me?"

Chen Xuan sneered secretly, and his mind quickly fell into the storage bag given to him by Fairy Qingling.

The storage bag contains the recipe for the Qi Gathering Powder and the elixir needed to make the Qi Gathering Powder.

Sure enough, it was exactly the same as Fairy Qingling said. She prepared a portion of the elixir for refining Qi Gathering Powder.

"Haha, asking the alchemist of Fahua Temple to refine a portion of Qi Gathering Powder? Although this Fairy Qingling is a bit arrogant, she is too careless."

Chen Xuan sneered secretly.

He would not directly refuse to make the elixir for Fairy Qingling at this time if he was going to put on a full show.

After a while, when all the cultivators outside the courtyard had left, Chen Xuan picked up an alchemy furnace and started working quickly.

With his alchemy skills, refining the Qi Gathering Powder was a piece of cake.

In order not to reveal his flaws, Chen Xuan pretended to be struggling.

After working for more than an hour, he finally managed to refine a furnace of medium-quality Qi Gathering Dispersion.

After doing all these things, Chen Xuan still did not practice. Instead, he stayed quietly in the courtyard, waiting for Fox to come back.

About a few hours later, the fox finally came back.

Without waiting for Chen Xuan to speak, Fox smiled happily.

"Master, your guess is correct. There is indeed something wrong with that Qingling Fairy. This is her true appearance that Fox secretly recorded. Please take a look, Master."

As Hu'er spoke, he took out a portrait and handed it to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan just took a glance and couldn't help but look surprised.

"This is...Xue Jingyao?"

Xue Jingyao!

The young master of Xueluo Palace.

When she met Chen Xuan, she was already a cultivator in the Jindan stage.

After so many years, Chen Xuan has advanced to the late stage of Jindan.

As the young palace master of Xue Luo Palace, Xue Jingyao has the entire Xue Luo Palace's cultivation resources behind him, and his cultivation speed is definitely not lower than Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan believed that Xue Jingyao was definitely in the late Jindan realm now.

"Xue Jingyao actually disguised herself as the Fairy Qingling. Haha, the Young Palace Master of Xue Luo Palace actually came to Fahua Temple? It seems that they have big plans!" Chen Xuan smiled strangely.

Chen Xuan, who knew the true identity of Fairy Qingling, calmed down at this moment.

"interesting!"

Chen Xuan smiled faintly, but didn't say much.

The fox was completely confused.

"Master, do you want me to keep a secret eye on Fairy Qingling?" said the fox.

"No, you don't have to do anything during this period. Since Xue Jingyao, disguised as Fairy Qingling, has come to Fahua Temple, how could she not do something?"

"If something unexpected really happened in the Fahua Temple, this would probably be the best time for me to get the Haoran Zhengqi Jue."

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan was secretly looking forward to it.

Anyway, he has now found the location of the Haoran Zhengqi Jue.

As long as Xue Jingyao and the others took action, they would attract the attention of the strong men in Fahua Temple.

At that time, Chen Xuan would definitely find a way to break into the Haoran Zhengqi Pavilion and snatch the second volume of the Haoran Zhengqi Jue.

This is very important to him.

"Hehe, Master, you are really awesome. In that case, let's just wait for the opportunity." said the fox.

"Yes, that's right!"

Chen Xuan nodded.

He let Fox continue to disguise himself as himself to conceal his tracks, while he himself went into the Beast Taming Tower and started to work.

Since Xue Jingyao has appeared in the Fahua Temple, Chen Xuan must be prepared to take action at any time.

He also needs to prepare what needs to be prepared early.

……

Fahua Temple is located in a small courtyard with an elegant environment.

Xue Jingyao, disguised as the Fairy Qingling, was sitting in a secret room.

The female cultivator who had always been by her side stood quietly in front of Xue Jingyao.

After a long while, the female cultivator looked at Xue Jingyao and said, "Young Palace Master, today we..."

"Pei'er, I have told you so many times that now that you are here, don't call me Young Palace Master. I am now the willful and capricious Fairy Qingling of Qingling Country."

"This time I came to Fahua Temple, and it was the alchemist of Fahua Temple who made a furnace of elixirs for me. Do you understand?"

After Pei'er was scolded by Xue Jingyao in person, she didn't seem angry.

Yinyin smiled and said, "Yes, Young Palace Master. I've already called you that because you like it. I can't change it when no one is around."

"Not enough. Young Palace Master, your disguise as Fairy Qingling is very lifelike. But, there is one thing I don't understand. Why did you embarrass fellow Daoist Chen who is in the Qi Refining Stage today?"

"Fellow Daoist Chen?"

Xue Jingyao frowned slightly.

"I am not deliberately looking for trouble, but I feel that this person is a little unusual. There is something about him that makes me a little afraid. A mere Qi Refining Stage cultivator can actually make me feel afraid. Pei'er, don't you think this is not simple?"

When Pei'er heard this, there was a hint of surprise in her beautiful eyes.

"Young Palace Master, you are already in the late Jindan stage. The only ones who can threaten you are probably cultivators in the late Jindan stage or above. Could it be that fellow Daoist Chen in the Qi Refining stage is a powerful cultivator in the Jindan stage from Fahua Temple in disguise?"

"This... doesn't seem like it. However, there is always an aura about that fellow Daoist Chen that I am very familiar with. I can't remember who he is for the moment."

"Then... should Pei'er take action in secret and deal with this fellow Daoist Chen first? If our Xueluo Palace's grand plan is ruined because of this person, we will not be able to explain to the Palace Master when we return."

"Pearl!"

Xue Jingyao rolled her eyes at Pei'er.

After a pause, she continued, "If that fellow Daoist Chen is really a Jindan-stage expert in disguise, and you act alone, won't our plan be exposed?"

"If that fellow Daoist Chen is really just a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, killing him would attract the attention of the cultivators in Fahua Temple. In that case, let's let him live a little longer."

"Once we start the operation, Pei'er, you and I will work together to deal with that person."

Pei'er nodded, and after chatting with Xue Jingyao about some other things, she turned and left.

Xue Jingyao flipped her hand, took out a jade slip and examined it carefully.

If Chen Xuan were here, he would definitely recognize at a glance that the content in this jade slip is exactly his identity information.

"Chen Xuan? Four spiritual roots? Good at refining pills? Haha, how can there be such a coincidence in the world?"

"It's just that the Daoist friend Chen Xuan that I know is in Linhe Province. He is also an elder in the early Jindan stage of the Yuling Sect... Hmm?"

I don’t know what Xue Jingyao was thinking about, but a very rare look of surprise flashed across her beautiful eyes.

Soon, the jade slip in her hand fell to the ground with a plop.

"If this Fellow Daoist Chen is really the Fellow Daoist Chen from the Yuling Sect that I know, this is a bit strange."

"When I first met him, he was only in the early stage of Jindan. Over the years, I have accumulated countless cultivation resources in Xueluo Palace, and only then have I reached my current level."

"But Fellow Daoist Chen has reached the late Jindan stage even though he is in a place like Linhezhou where cultivation resources are scarce. His cultivation talent is really too amazing, isn't it?"

The more Xue Jingyao thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

Soon, she disappeared into the secret room.

When he appeared again, he was already outside Chen Xuan's courtyard.

She spread out her spiritual sense and made sure that there was nothing unusual in Chen Xuan's courtyard. Then she jumped and went directly into the courtyard.

Chen Xuan, who was meditating in the Beast Taming Tower, also discovered something was wrong.

Seeing Xue Jingyao disguised as Fairy Qingling coming in, she also quickly came out of the Beast Taming Tower.

However, before Xue Jingyao approached the secret room where Chen Xuan was practicing, she heard Chen Xuan's voice ringing in her ears.

"Fairy, long time no see. Now that you are here, why don't you come in and have a chat?"
