Starting from Scavengers to Cultivate Immortals

Chapter 21
When Xu Chen woke up again, he could barely feel the burning thirst and pain. Although he was still dizzy, the situation was much better. He tried to exercise and found that he could use his spiritual consciousness to induce With vitality, he let out a long breath and felt a lot more relaxed.

"Little brother woke up, how do you feel?"

Zhao Xuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the floor meditating, woke up instantly, and quickly stood up to ask.

Xu Chen slowly opened his eyes and said, "I feel much better, and now I can use my spiritual power."

Zhao Xuan was overjoyed and said, "Great, you can lie down and rest for a while, and I'll arrange some meals."

After Zhao Xuan left the room, Xu Chen slowly performed the internal inspection of the Sea of ​​Consciousness. Sure enough, he could clearly see the blue jade beads, and he could still feel the cold air entering the Sea of ​​Consciousness between his brows, but it was It is absorbed by the jade beads, and then released as almost invisible white gas.

"It seems that this is another function of Yuzhu!"

Xu Chen was surprised but full of joy.

But at this time, even if you can exercise your skills and use your spiritual consciousness, as long as you move your spiritual consciousness, you still feel a burning pain in your soul, but this kind of pain is already tolerable, and it is far less than the extreme feeling of burning like a fire at the beginning.

The little fox was still lying on his forehead at this time, but he was already sound asleep, and was even snoring slightly.

"This time it's really thanks to this little guy!"

Xu Chen reached out and gently stroked the soft fur of the little fox, muttering softly.

And the little fox seemed to feel particularly comfortable being touched. He kicked his calf a few times, and his little tail swung a few times, sweeping Xu Chen's eyes and nostrils.

"Ahh~"

Xu Chen couldn't help but sneezed, the little fox was startled awake, and stood up with wide eyes. Xu Chen simply sat up, put the little fox into his arms gently, and then crossed his legs and began to exhale.

This battle was extremely dangerous. It can be said that the three of them tried their best and almost used up all their magic weapons and spells. However, the ending was unexpected, and they even beheaded a cultivator in the True Yuan Realm.

Theoretically speaking, a cultivator in the True Yuan Realm with a second-rank magic weapon is far more difficult to deal with than a second-rank top monster.

After all, monsters have limited intelligence, so if the three of them joined forces and sincerely wanted to escape, basically there would be no problem.

But he was unlucky and met the freak Xu Chen.

Back then in the crack of Heifengling, even the monster wolf of the third rank was completely annihilated by the blue jade beads. If the monks in the true spirit realm were attacked by the full energy of the jade beads, they might die instantly.

However, since Yuzhu merged into Xu Chen's sea of ​​consciousness, it seemed that the power of the blue light was much smaller. However, after the power of the blue light was fully stimulated by Xu Chen's spiritual consciousness, the impact on the soul could not be resisted by a monk in the real yuan state.

Xu Chen attacked twice, although his own soul was also severely injured, but it was obvious that the black-robed Taoist suffered more damage.

In addition, Senior Brother Ninth is also a master who has been traveling the rivers and lakes and looting houses all the year round, and will not let go of any flaws and opportunities, so the black-robed Taoist capsized in the gutter and could only suffocate and suffer.

This was a tragic victory, but it also showed Brother Ninth's extraordinary experience in fighting the enemy.

Especially the third-grade phantom talisman, which created unparalleled psychological pressure on the black-robed Taoist. Coupled with the magic talisman in the hand of Princess Xiyun, and Xu Chen's mysterious soul attack, the black-robed Taoist finally panicked. Die with hatred.

Looking back on this life-and-death fight, Xu Chen felt that his cultivation was indeed outrageously rubbish, and his experience against the enemy was almost zero.

Facing the black-robed monk, he had almost no power to fight back. If it weren't for Yuzhu's power, he would be a complete burden.

Not long after, Zhao Xuan brought in two maids from the inn with food, and seeing Xu Chen sitting up, she was even more delighted and said, "Junior brother seems to be much better, so I don't worry, I'll go and get Brother Jiu Call me over to have dinner together, and then we can discuss the arrangement."

Zhao Xuan ordered the food to be put away, and turned to go to the next room. Soon, Senior Brother Nine followed him in. Seeing Xu Chen's face full of surprise, he said, "It's good that Junior Brother wakes up. It looks like we can start tomorrow!"

Zhao Xuan came in from the back, closed the door and whispered: "Brother, both you and junior brother have just recovered, should we rest for two more days before leaving?"

Senior Brother Nine shook his head and said, "No, this matter is not small. If King Pingxi knew that Princess Xiyun was not dead, he would definitely not let it go. In addition, the origin of the black-robed Taoist is not simple. You must not stay here for too long. For self-cultivation, you must find a safe place."

Zhao Xuan nodded and said: "Then let's go back to the mountain gate, otherwise the road will not be safe."

Senior Brother Jiu shook his head, and said solemnly: "This place is too far from the mountain gate, even if it takes at least two days to fend off the sword, besides, my junior brother and I have almost lost all our skills, and we can't fly with the fencing sword at all. I can't guarantee that there will be no other helpers. Even if there is another guy in the late Kaiyuan stage, we will definitely die. As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is often the safest place. We must rush to the capital as soon as possible. The Great Song Emperor, even if someone from the Alchemy Realm came, he would not dare to kill us easily."

Zhao Xuan was still waiting to speak, Xu Chen also nodded and said: "Senior brother Jiu is right, not to mention that the sect arranged for us to celebrate the emperor's birthday, if we return to the mountain gate and miss the birthday, it will also affect the reputation of our Taiyuan gate. It’s also much better, at most I can recuperate slowly on the road, and I should be able to recover soon.”

Seeing that the two brothers and sisters said this, Zhao Xuan stopped talking and called the two to start eating.

The three of them ate and drank while communicating with each other. Only then did Xu Chen realize that he had been in a coma for a day and a night, and he also realized that this place was not far from the valley where the battle took place. In a small town called Wuyang, it was actually still very dangerous.

Seeing Xu Chen's nervous face, Senior Brother Nine comforted him with a smile uglier than crying, "Don't be too nervous, Junior Brother. Even if the Eighth Prince wants to send someone, it will take at least a few days, not to mention one of them died. The masters of the True Yuan Realm, I am afraid that they will be cautious. After all, the True Yuan Realm is not a Chinese cabbage. Even if Yuqing Palace dies, it will hurt for a few years. Although our Taiyuan Sect is far inferior to Yuqing Palace, we are not at the mercy of others. If this matter spreads, the Great Elder will probably go to the capital to inquire about the crime, let alone the Eighth King is just a mortal prince, even if he is the emperor, he still has to kneel and confess his love."

Zhao Xuan, who had always been cautious, suddenly showed a trace of confidence and arrogance, and said, "Senior Brother Ninth's words are reasonable, Junior Brother, don't worry too much."

Xu Chen nodded and said: "Since the senior brothers and sisters have said so, I am relieved, but this matter is a bit strange, how did the master of Xiyun County offend the Eight Kings, and the black-clothed Taoist didn't seem to have any problems at all yesterday." Putting the Eight Kings in your eyes, there should be some unknown secrets about Princess Xiyun, maybe it's not as simple as ordinary things in the world."

Brother Jiu and Zhao Xuan looked at each other at the same time, as if they had suddenly thought of this, so after pondering for a while, Brother Jiu said: "Brother's idea is very possible, I didn't intend to get involved in this matter, but since The person has been killed, and the beam has already been formed, it seems that we must find out the reason, so, quickly finish eating and call Xiyun County Master to ask carefully."

"it is good!"

The three of them quickly cleaned up the table full of food, and after arranging for the maids to clean up, Zhao Xuan went out to find Princess Xiyun.

Not long after, Princess Xiyun followed in, still disguised as a man, but she looked very disturbed, especially when she looked at Xu Chen and Senior Brother Nine with obvious horror.

"Zhao Qian pays homage to the two immortal masters!" Princess Xiyun bowed after entering the door.

Brother Nine waved his hand slightly and said: "You don't need to be polite, princess, you have seen what happened yesterday, and we have already been involved in it, but the so-called injustice has a head and a debt, they are all here for you, we Taiyuanmen can't be ignorant I took this disaster for you for nothing, and you should know the reason why I came to you."

Princess Xiyun's face was pale and trembling slightly, she was silent for a long time before choking with sobs and said: "Zhao Qian dare not hide the three immortal masters, but this matter is very involved, and it has something to do with the Ziyang Sect of the Immortal Sect of Ming Kingdom."

"Ziyang sect?"

The three of Xu Chen were taken aback at the same time. Ninth Senior Brother suddenly stood up, his face became extremely solemn and said: "Since that's the case, you can't hide it. Tell us everything you know, so we can deal with it."

Zhao Qian nodded and said, "This matter started three years ago. My father was originally the Marquis of Xilu. Because he guarded the border, he fought with the Ming Kingdom all the year round, but he also had some contacts in private..."

"You don't need to talk about these messes, you just need to tell me why you are involved with Ziyangzong." Brother Jiu interrupted Princess Xiyun's words.

Zhao Qian trembled slightly and said softly:

"Three years ago, my father heard that there were ancient immortal relics on the border between Xilu County and the Ming Kingdom, so he teamed up with Zhendong Hou on the border of the Ming Kingdom to secretly arrange for people to excavate them, and then they actually succeeded in digging out an ancient tomb.

However, the ancient tomb is very dangerous, and hundreds of soldiers did not come out after entering. Later, some immortal masters had to be secretly invited to inquire, but none of them came back, so my father and Zhendong Hou became nervous and afraid, and also in private. In the conflict, my father reported the matter to King Pingxi, and King Pingxi led his troops to directly intercept and kill Donghou of Mingguo Town, and then drove thousands of soldiers to enter the ancient tomb again. Finally, the ancient tomb was forcibly opened, and the remains of immortals were found inside And a few fairy treasures, and what's even more weird is that the soldiers and monks who went in to hunt for treasures all turned into mummies.

My father thought the matter was too serious and requested to report it to the imperial court to deal with it secretly, but King Pingxi disagreed and wanted to kill my father, so my father could only run away, but he was killed by King Pingxi in the end. Escort me back to the Song Dynasty, and let me report this matter to the emperor.

King Pingxi was afraid of leaking the news, so he kept secretly arranging people to hunt and kill me. I didn't dare to go back to the capital, so I could only hide around. Finally, I hid in Nanyang City on the edge of southern Xinjiang. The Lord of Nanyang City used to be my father's old friend. I didn't know the inside story, so I stayed in Nanyang City to take refuge.

This time the emperor's [-]th birthday, I thought about going back to the capital to see if I could find a chance to see the emperor and report the matter. It happened that the three immortal masters set off with the caravan, and the city lord of Nanyang asked me to go with them. But I never thought that King Pingxi would track down my whereabouts, so what happened yesterday happened. "
