Chapter 664 Arrangement, Chen Xuan Retreats

Chen Xuan's words made Zhang Qingyue and Hao Zhengmei's expressions become extremely solemn.

On one side is the Jindan stage where one’s cultivation level has greatly increased and one’s lifespan can reach four hundred years.

On the other hand, there is the threat of complete death.

For a moment, it was really difficult for the two to make a decision.

Chen Xuan did not force the two to give an answer immediately.

After a long time, Hao Zhengmei spoke first.

"Ancestor, I plan to retreat again and try to reach the Jindan stage. If I fail this time, I will also fall under the heavenly tribulation. However, I died in pursuit of immortality, and I have no regrets at all."

Hao Zhengmei looked determined.

However, Chen Xuan looked at Hao Zhengmei and smiled with relief.

But he didn't say much, just waited for Zhang Qingyue and made the final decision.

"Ancestor, I also plan to try to reach the Jindan stage. Whether I succeed this time or not, it is my destiny."

"In my lifetime, being able to follow you in cultivation is already a great blessing."

Zhang Qingyue's expression was also very calm.

She knew very well that if she failed to reach the Jindan stage, she would definitely die.

Even though she is facing death now, she is very calm.

"Very good. To face death and then live is also a kind of courage. We cultivators are a group of people who work hard to pursue the great way."

"If you two can successfully advance to the Jindan stage this time, I will also accept you as my disciples."

Hearing this, Zhang Qingyue and Hao Zhengmei couldn't help but look ecstatic.

"Thank you, ancestor!"

They both thanked him in unison.

However, Chen Xuan waved his hand, signaling the two to go down first and seize the time to prepare for the next step to reach the Jindan stage.

Soon, only Liu Hu and Fairy Miaoyu were left in Chen Xuan's cave.

"Master, we..."

Liu Hu looked at Chen Xuan with a serious expression.

Chen Xuan smiled and waved his hand, saying, "You just broke through to the Jindan stage not long ago. If you encounter any problems in your cultivation, you can always come and ask me. In addition, your junior sister Miaoyu has been promoted to the Jindan stage for many years, you can also ask her at any time."

"Thank you Master!"

Liu Hu smiled gratefully and agreed immediately.

Fairy Miaoyu, who was standing by, saw this and smiled, "Master, your successful advancement to the Nascent Soul stage this time has greatly increased the strength of our Yuling Sect. From now on, our Yuling Sect will no longer be the last one among the seven major sects of immortal cultivators in Linhezhou."

"Haha, my advancement to the Nascent Soul stage this time was also largely due to luck."

Chen Xuan chuckled lightly.

He glanced at Miaoyu and continued, "Before, I was only a Jindan-stage cultivator, and I could ignore many of the Yuling Sect's affairs. But now, I have advanced to the Yuanying stage, and I am afraid I need to deal with the affairs of the Yuling Sect myself."

"But, as you know, I am devoted to the Dao. I don't have much time to deal with these sect affairs. So, I need someone to handle these problems for me."

Miaoyu understood what Chen Xuan meant without him continuing to talk.

"Master, I am willing to handle these matters for you!"

"Very good. In that case, I will give you some powerful imitations of Tongtian Lingbao and ancient treasures for self-defense. However, as for the matter of cultivation, you also need to work harder." Chen Xuan said with a smile.

As he spoke, Chen Xuan threw a storage bag casually and it instantly fell into Miaoyu's hands.

When she saw clearly what was inside, which were all imitations of Tongtian Lingbao and top-grade ancient treasures, Miaoyu immediately smiled happily.

"Thank you for the reward, Master. Miaoyu will definitely handle the things that Master has asked of her."

"Well, you go back first. I have something to talk to your senior brother alone."

Chen Xuan waved his hand, signaling Miaoyu to leave.

After a while, when Miaoyu had completely left Chen Xuan's cave, Chen Xuan looked at Liu Hu and said, "Your mother and father are both my friends. Now, you are also my disciple. Although I have advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, I can also give you a safe place to practice. However, if a practitioner wants to become stronger, he cannot rely solely on these things. He also needs to work harder."

"Liu Hu, you were young before, and your cultivation was not high. I never asked you. Now that you are already in the Jindan stage, I want to ask, what is the purpose of your seeking immortality?"

Liu Hu was stunned, not knowing what Chen Xuan meant.

But he didn't dare to be negligent.

After thinking seriously for a long time, he said: "Reporting to Master, I used to practice hard just to live up to my parents' expectations. Now, I practice naturally to pursue immortality."

"Well. If that's the case, then it doesn't make much sense for you to stay in Yuling Sect now. Do you know the Zhongzhou Immortal Cultivation World?"

Chen Xuan nodded, looked at Liu Hu and asked calmly.

Liu Hu was suddenly startled.

"Master, do you want me to go to Zhongzhou to practice immortal cultivation?"

"Haha, that's exactly what I was planning. A few years ago, I traveled around the immortal cultivation world in Zhongzhou. I did have some basic knowledge. But those foundations will completely disappear if I don't travel in Zhongzhou for a long time. So, I need you to go to Zhongzhou and take care of these things for me." Chen Xuan said with a smile.

Liu Hu frowned slightly.

He knew that if he went to Zhongzhou, the resources for cultivation would naturally be more abundant than in the Yuling Sect.

However, he was alone, far away from the Yuling Sect, and had to rely on himself for everything.

This matter has both advantages and disadvantages for him.

You have to make your choice carefully.

After thinking carefully for a while, Liu Hu said with a determined look: "Master, I am willing to go to Zhongzhou."

"Very good. Your master was right about you. When you go to Zhongzhou this time, you need to go to Linbian City to take over a shop called Sifang Shop and look for a mid-stage Jindan cultivator named Tiexiong. After you go there, you will take charge of the Sifang Shop for me and take care of the relationship between your master, the mayor of Linbian City, and the Cui family."

As Chen Xuan spoke, he described in detail his situation in Linbian City and Zhongzhou.

After Liu Hu had memorized it thoroughly, he took out a jade slip and handed it to Liu Hu.

"This is a map leading to Linbian City that I personally drew. It can help you avoid some troubles when you go to Linbian City."

"As for what happens after you get to Linbian City, you can only rely on yourself."

Liu Hu nodded solemnly.

"Master, rest assured, I will definitely live up to your trust."

After a pause, Liu Hu looked at Chen Xuan and smiled, "Master, your advancement to the Nascent Soul stage this time is of great significance to our Yuling Sect. So, I plan to wait until your Nascent Soul celebration is over before going to Linbian City. What do you think?"

"no problem."

Chen Xuan nodded.

After giving Liu Hu some resources for cultivation and giving him some pointers on his martial arts, Chen Xuan let Liu Hu leave.

After a while, Chen Xuan was the only one left in his cave.

But he was not busy practicing. Instead, he thought about it and released the fox directly.

"Master, you're looking for me?"

Fox looked extremely respectful.

There was a hint of redness unique to young girls on her pretty cheeks.

It makes people's heart beat faster when they see it.

However, when Chen Xuan's eyes swept over Fox, his mood was extremely calm.

"Fox, I need to practice in seclusion for the next period of time. If there is nothing important, don't let anyone disturb me." Chen Xuan said.

"Yes, Master!"

The fox agreed and left quickly.

After dealing with these things, Chen Xuan suddenly thought about it and entered the space of the Beast Taming Tower.

Wow!

All around, the extremely rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth was rapidly converging towards Chen Xuan.

At this moment, Chen Xuan was not busy practicing.

Instead, he sat there quietly, thinking carefully about what had happened recently.

After making sure that there was nothing wrong with his recent words and actions, Chen Xuan flipped his hand and took out several storage bags.

These storage bags were the spoils that Chen Xuan seized after killing those Hulan masters.

"For a great Master Hulan, their storage bags shouldn't be too shabby, right?"

Chen Xuan looked expectant.

As he spoke, spiritual power was rapidly injected into the storage bag.

Everything inside fell to the ground with a crash.

After just some selection, Chen Xuan's expression became extremely solemn.

"Three million high-quality spirit stones, a bottle of low-quality healing pills, and a bottle of low-quality pills for improving cultivation. Three top-quality ancient treasures, and two replicas of Tongtian Lingbao... This is a bit too shabby."

Chen Xuanben had high hopes for the storage bags of these Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

At this moment, he looked disappointed.

After selecting, Chen Xuan kept the things that were useful to him, and threw the rest into a storage bag specially used for miscellaneous items.

After dealing with these things, Chen Xuan was not idle.

Now, he has advanced to the early stage of Nascent Soul.

The combat capability also seems to be pretty good.

However, the upcoming Nascent Soul Celebration will be a test for Chen Xuan.

This matter not only concerns Chen Xuan’s own reputation, but also the future of the Yuling Sect.

“If I can put pressure on a Nascent Soul Stage expert who challenges me during the Nascent Soul Festival, it will naturally make my Yuling Sect more famous.”

"In the short term, no sect will be eyeing my Yuling Sect covetously."

"If I can't do all this, although it won't be a big loss to my own interests, it won't be a good thing for the Yuling Sect."

After carefully weighing the pros and cons, Chen Xuan quickly made a decision.

"I have already developed some feelings for the Yuling Sect. I cannot abandon the interests of the Yuling Sect."

"In that case, I must win this competition at the Nascent Soul Celebration."

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan's expression became extremely determined.

But he did not choose to sit in meditation and practice on the spot. Instead, he stood up and walked towards the cold pool step by step.

Wow!

Chen Xuan leaped and jumped directly into the cold pool.

The icy cold pool water immediately submerged Chen Xuan's body.

The biting cold and the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth rushed rapidly into Chen Xuan's body.

Almost at the same time, the tremendous vitality in Chen Xuan's body was also disappearing at an accelerated speed.
