Chapter 64: Unexpected Events, Engagement and Conflict

"It has been a year since I joined the Yuling Sect. During this period, I have never seen True Man Red Scorpion come to see me."

"If Master Red Scorpion is so busy that he really can't spare any time, why is he free to come here today?"

"Moreover, True Man Red Scorpion even mentioned Fairy Su on purpose. Could it be that he wanted to bring Fairy Su and I together?"

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan felt a headache.

Su Muyao is good-looking.

There is nothing to say to him.

The key point is that Chen Xuan is only at the ninth level of Qi Refining now, not even at the Foundation Establishment stage.

He will not consider matters between men and women for the time being.

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan's mind became as clear as a mirror.

Pretending that he knew nothing, Chen Xuan quickly said, "Thank you, Uncle Su, for your concern for me. I have a bottle of small essence pills here. Please give it to Fairy Su. This is a little gift from me."

As Chen Xuan spoke, he flipped his hand, took out a bottle of small essence pills, and handed it respectfully to True Man Red Scorpion.

True Man Red Scorpion looked at Chen Xuan with a smile, waved his hand, and pushed the small Essence Pill back.

"Nephew Chen, although Yao'er has not succeeded in building her foundation, she still has enough medicinal pills to heal her wounds."

"You are only an outer disciple. It is not easy to accumulate these pills. Keep them for yourself."

Chen Xuan thanked him calmly and put the Small Essence Pill away.

After a pause, True Man Red Scorpion spoke.

"Nephew Chen, Yao'er is a genius of our Su family. She failed in building her foundation this time and needs to continue to build her foundation in seclusion."

"However, you also know very well that a Qi Refining Level 10 expert needs a Foundation Building Pill to assist him every time he builds his foundation."

"Although our Su family is wealthy, we cannot find something like the Foundation Building Pill. Therefore, I have the audacity to come and ask you, nephew, if you can give your Foundation Building Pill to Yao'er?"

hum!

Chen Xuan felt a headache.

He originally thought that True Man Red Scorpion and Su Muyao were after him.

Unexpectedly, they were after their own foundation-building pills.

Chen Xuan's foundation-building pill was obtained at the cost of his life.

It is also his hope for building his foundation.

Chen Xuan would not be willing to give it to True Man Red Scorpion so easily.

If he doesn't give it to True Man Red Scorpion, it means that Chen Xuan has offended True Man Red Scorpion and the Su family.

In the future, it is likely that Chen Xuan will be made to suffer by True Man Red Scorpion in the Yuling Sect, and his life will definitely be difficult.

"This……"

For a moment, Chen Xuan didn't know how to start.

Seeing this, Red Scorpion Master continued with a gentle expression: "Master Chen, don't worry, our Su family will never owe you anything."

"As long as Junior Brother Chen agrees to give the foundation-building pill to Yao'er, our Su family promises that after Yao'er advances to the foundation-building stage, we can hold a dual cultivation ceremony with you."

"Moreover, as long as you have the engagement, you will be a member of our Su family, nephew Chen. Even if you don't have the opportunity to advance to the foundation-building stage, with the influence of our Su family in the Yuling Sect, we can also find you a status as a deacon disciple. This will give you a guarantee in the Yuling Sect."

"To go further, as long as Yao'er can advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage, after she and you become a dual cultivation partner, she can also secure more cultivation resources for you and help you advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage."

"This is a great thing, are you still hesitating, Brother Chen?"

Only at this moment did Chen Xuan realize that the Su family not only wanted him, but also his foundation-building pill.

It would be a lie to say that Chen Xuan was not tempted by the conditions offered by True Man Red Scorpion.

However, if Chen Xuan really believed this, the consequences would be absolutely disastrous.

"I am originally a casual cultivator. Even if Fairy Su and I become a dual cultivation partner, what will it change for me?"

"On the surface, I have the support of the Su family. In fact, many members of the Su family regard my dual cultivation with Fairy Su as a bargaining chip for Fairy Su to get the Foundation Establishment Pill."

"If Fairy Su really succeeds in building her foundation, will she be willing to practice dual cultivation with a Qi Refining Stage cultivator?"

"Rather than this, I'd rather not agree to this marriage."

After thinking through the pros and cons, Chen Xuan calmed down a lot.

However, if he refused directly now, True Man Red Scorpion would be embarrassed.

After weighing his words for a long time, Chen Xuan finally said sincerely: "Uncle Su, you and Fairy Su have helped me a lot. If it weren't for you, I, Chen Xuan, wouldn't be where I am today. I'll give that foundation-building pill to Fairy Su, what do you think?"

"Give it to Yao'er? That won't do!"

True Man Red Scorpion shook his head repeatedly.

Chen Xuan didn't understand what he meant.

After thinking about it carefully, it suddenly dawned on me.

"The Su family is powerful and influential. If Su Muyao doesn't agree to practice dual cultivation with me, she will take my foundation-building pill. From anyone's perspective, it will be like the Su family has forcibly taken my foundation-building pill. This is not a good thing for the Su family."

"Is this probably the real reason why Master Su insisted on bringing me and Fairy Su together?"

With a sigh, Chen Xuan's mood became extremely complicated.

The Su family clearly wanted to take his foundation-building pill and his people at the same time, but they were unwilling to lose even a bit of face.

How could Chen Xuan be willing to compromise like this?

After pondering for a while, Chen Xuan said, "Uncle Su, I will give the Foundation Establishment Pill to Fairy Su no matter what. This is my gift to Fairy Su and you. As for my marriage with Fairy Su, I think I should ask Fairy Su to come over in person so I can talk to her in detail. How about that?"

Upon hearing this, True Man Red Scorpion nodded in satisfaction.

"Haha, nephew Chen... No, Xuan'er, you are very righteous and your future path of cultivating immortals will definitely become wider and wider. Don't worry, there will be no changes in the engagement between Yao'er and you."

"It is understandable that you want to discuss the engagement with Yao'er in person. Don't worry, your uncle will definitely pass the message to Yao'er."

After a pause, Red Scorpion True Man continued, "Xuan'er, you are now engaged to Yao'er, so you can be considered one of our Su family's own. Then, you can fight for the spot of the inner sect disciple. As long as you can advance to the top 100 in the next sect competition, I will guarantee that you can become an inner sect disciple. How about that?"

True Man Red Scorpion looked very serious.

Seeing that Chen Xuan didn't seem to care about becoming an inner disciple at all, True Man Red Scorpion said, "Xuan'er, becoming an inner disciple may seem like the monthly benefits are only slightly more than those of an outer disciple. However, you don't know that becoming an inner disciple also has many hidden benefits."

"For example, each inner sect disciple will be given dozens of acres of spiritual fields of varying sizes. All the output from these spiritual fields belongs to the inner sect disciple himself."

"As long as you manage it properly, Xuan'er, these spiritual fields will bring you at least nearly a thousand spiritual stones as a reward every year."

"Most importantly, after becoming an inner sect disciple, you can practice in a separate courtyard. Moreover, you won't have any chores to worry about every day. This will allow you to have plenty of time to focus on practice and increase the probability of building a foundation."

Hearing this, Chen Xuan's expression lit up with joy.

"If that's the case, I really have to fight for the position of inner disciple. I'd like to ask for your help in this matter, uncle." Chen Xuan said hurriedly.

True Man Red Scorpion's face darkened: "Xuan'er, kid, didn't I tell you just now? You are now a member of our Su family. From now on, you have to call me clan uncle. Don't call me master uncle, it's too distant."

Chen Xuan was speechless for a while.

The engagement between him and Su Muyao hasn't even started yet, is it really appropriate to call it that?

There was no words for a while. After sending away True Man Red Scorpion, Chen Xuan's mood could not calm down for a long time.

Especially when he thought about the Foundation Establishment Pill that he had worked so hard to obtain being taken away by the Su family so easily, he felt even more upset.

"Without strength, you can't even protect what belongs to you."

"No matter what, I, Chen Xuan, must find a way to become a Foundation Establishment Cultivator."
