Please call me Huanxian

Chapter 329: Chance and Fate
Bianyuan City, small training ground.

The mist slowly dissipated, revealing a sparkling treasure mountain nearly three hundred feet in diameter and dozens of feet high.

The 3,000 elite troops were as silent as a mountain, yet they were full of vigor and vitality. Led by their commander Zhu Zongshan, they performed a unified and resounding war salute to the old sword master and others, and retreated in an orderly manner from above the treasure mountain.

Participate in the encirclement and suppression of five Black Spirit masters, and by the way, destroy the five hundred Black Spirit teams.

Appeared on the other side of the wilderness, destroyed a fortress stronghold with a radius of thirty miles, and wiped out thousands of black spirits.

He fought across tens of thousands of miles, destroyed countless small Black Spirit strongholds, and plundered treasures until his hands were tired. Every single item he picked out was enough to make him look great among all the other cultivators.

The old sword master and other masters returned the greetings and said, "Thank you for your hard work, fellow Taoists."

The monks from the fifth and fourth floors of Bianyuan City who were watching outside the training grounds let out a series of suppressed low cries.

Such a large-scale cascading treasure mountain, with its dazzling pearls and shining radiance, gives people a great visual impact and mental shock. Thousands of words of emotion can only turn into one thought: next time it’s our turn to go out and make a fortune!
Look at those cool guys, so enviable.

I heard that after two battles, the casualties did not exceed fifty, and the results were extremely brilliant.

Meng Shanhe retracted his gaze and complained to Xi Yuelou: "You are old and have seen everything. You should just stay at home and enjoy your life. You have to compete with me. Don't do it next time."

Xi Yuelou laughed loudly: "I am still very young. I have been guarding my old nest for fifty years and I am tired of it. Next time I have to go out, you can find whoever you want to guard the house. If you can't find a suitable one, you should stay."

"You're running out to waste time, and that's unreasonable."

Meng Shanhe was a little dumbfounded, and his words made everyone laugh.

"Old Meng, don't complain. I have transferred Feng Wu to the border town. She has been experienced and trained over the years and is now qualified to take on the important task."

The old sword master smiled and said that the strategy for future outings will change as the situation changes.

Grandmaster Xi's formations can be of great use, and combined with their tactics, their whereabouts can be kept secret. In addition, with the 500 elite soldiers they carry with them, combined with the formations, they are not afraid of being besieged by more Black Spirit masters.

Besides, the old master had tasted the sweetness of going out to fight and collect spoils, so why would he honestly guard the territory of more than 20,000 miles?

Yu Fengwu is a sword-cultivating talent that he has focused on training. He has five years left in his term in Gem City, so it is a good opportunity for him to be transferred to the border city to contribute and put him in an important position as a transition.

No one would expect Zeng Daoyou to guard the family, but Zeng Daoyou can lend a hand at the critical moment, which is called "using good steel on the blade."

The great contributions made by Fellow Daoist Zeng and Yuan Chang in recent years are obvious to all. They have changed the undercurrent crisis situation facing Dingzhou. Who dares not to accept it?
Meng Shanhe hurriedly bowed and thanked him. He didn't want to stay in the border town to guard the family anymore, even if he was beaten to death. The responsibility was too heavy, how could he go out freely?

The old sword master waved his hand with a gentle magic power, easily dividing the treasure mountain into about 30%.

As for which part of the pile contains rare treasures, or there are just piles of treasures without much real value, it all depends on luck. However, if you can own 30% of the treasure mountain, the value is truly immeasurable.

"Friend Zeng, please accept it!"

"I'm so shameless."

Zeng Wanglou pinched his fingers and threw out a thick mist, which swept the 30% of the treasure mountain allocated to him into the Jiuhuan Palace.

How they divided the spoils with Xu Yuanchang was a matter between the two of them and outsiders had no idea.

He retired after accomplishing his mission, bowed and said goodbye without any delay.

Xu Yuanchang clasped his fists and left with a smile.

He seemed to be Mr. Zeng's follower, but in fact, Mr. Zeng followed him and made a lot of money after each mission. No one would gossip about him because he practiced seclusion for many years and did not participate in the war.

The Old Sword Master and his companions watched the two men disappear into the horizon, and then arranged for their trusted confidants to count and organize the treasure mountain, and register them according to categories. The particularly rare treasures, such as the Tongxuan Stone, were directly divided among the big guys, as they each had their own forces to take care of.

If the number of Tongxuan Stones harvested this time is large, some of them can be used as rewards.

Or, important resources could be allocated to high-level cultivators who are close to breaking through.

The long war is fought for subsequent development, talent training, and the emergence of endless top masters.

……

Before dark, Xu Yuanchang and Lao Zeng arrived at Fucailing chatting and laughing.

Xueli was the first to greet the young master. It flew in the air, shaking its head and tail, and rubbed against the young master to express its closeness and happiness. It also bowed to Mr. Zeng, who kept strangers away, and did not dare to fly too close.

Liu Xianfeng led Zhuifeng, Yuanbao, Jinchan and Huabei to greet them respectfully, and gave a warning look to Xueli who dared to steal the limelight.

Jiao Teng appeared outside the door, bowed to Mr. Zeng from a distance, bowed to Fellow Daoist Xu, and then retreated.

Zeng Wanglou looked at the valley and asked, "How about here?"

Xu Yuan smiled and nodded.

A mist swept across the valley covered with light grass, and a mountain of treasures dozens of feet high and glittering in all its glory appeared out of nowhere.

"Gudong", the stunned Zhuifeng made a clear sound of swallowing saliva. He felt that his nose was not enough, just sniffing the smells were all delicious and high-end goods.

Snow particles fell to the ground with a "crackling" sound. It was supposed to be a place where the treasures were laid on the ground for the insects to build their nests. Such experienced insects would not be so easily fooled. However, Baoshan still shocked it to the point of being unprecedented.

On the contrary, Liu Xianfeng, who is a money-loving person, behaved normally with bright eyes, but he was exposed as soon as he opened his mouth.

"They are all ours."

Zeng Wanglou heard that the "we" in Xiao Shumei's mouth did not seem to include him, who joined later. He laughed in silence, waved his sleeves, and the treasure mountain was suddenly reduced by half. He went straight back to the yard of his residence on the top of the mountain and slowly counted the huge harvest.

Liu Xianfeng and a group of monsters stared at the jagged cliffs of Baoshan, feeling heartbroken as if their flesh was being cut.

Lao Zeng lives with them and eats their food, which is too polite.

That half should stay.

Xu Yuanchang laughed and said, "Go and pick out the treasures you can use. Treasures like these, as well as fifth- and sixth-level materials, please help me sort them out."

He took out the Tongxuan Stone, the Solid Foundation Stone, the Soul-Enhancing Jade and other natural treasures and asked the monsters to remember their smells.

There were very few materials below the third level in the treasure mountain. When the three thousand monks were collecting them, they only picked out the good ones because the space in the storage bags they carried was limited, and low-level materials took up space and wasted time.

Zhuifeng was so excited that his eyes almost turned red, and he rushed out with a "grunt".

Snow Grain was the second one to bounce away. Yuanbao, Jinchan and Huabei were not going to be polite. They could sense the treasures they needed and were afraid that they would miss them if they were too late.

Liu Xianfeng hurriedly shouted, "Be gentle, don't be careless and break the rare treasures. We are not in a hurry. If anyone breaks an item, I will kick him out and watch us treasure hunt for half an hour."

This is a harsh remark, hitting the snake at its most vulnerable part.

The guys suddenly became gentle and cautious, and each used their magic skills to search for treasure.

Xu Yuanchang looked at the flying treasures, and he seemed unable to intervene. Liu Xianfeng was very considerate and said, "Young Master, go and have a rest. Leave this little thing to us."

The demons all made noises in agreement, they were all theirs.

Zhuifeng snorted twice and shook its head, and a shiny treasure flew up. It was the first to find the Tongxuan Stone that the young master needed, and continued to hunt for treasure with high morale. There were too many good things that made it dazzled. Fortunately, it relied on its nose to identify.

Xu Yuanchang reached out to take the Tongxuan Stone whose color had changed, smiled and praised it, then went back to his garden yard at the foot of the mountain.

In a few days, he traveled more than 100,000 miles, and frequently moved a team of 3,000 monks. His spiritual power was consumed greatly. Even with the essence of the materials refined by the God of Creation, he still felt exhausted deep in his heart.

Furthermore, too much energy accumulates in the body and cannot be released, which is not a good thing over time.

He walked into the bedroom, lay down on the bed, completely relaxed his body and mind, made a magic gesture with each hand, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Two avatars are arranged to guard outside the door, which is foolproof. No one will disturb us even if the sky falls.

When he got up from the bed, half a month had passed. He felt refreshed, all the fatigue in his bones had been swept away, and his cultivation had improved a lot in his sleep. He opened the door and walked out.

After putting the two avatars away, Xu Yuanchang called out to Liu Xianfeng who was tending to the flowers and plants in the yard in front.

"Sir, you are finally awake. Here, I found the twenty-two Tongxuan stones you need. There are too many other treasures. My bracelet can't hold them all."

Liu Xianfeng appeared in the corridor, chattering for a while, and handed over a small bag.

With a wave of his hand, a lot of natural treasures floated in the air, among which were many of her favorite wood-type treasures. She never kept any of them to herself, waiting for the young master to pass them on before giving them to her.

Xu Yuanchang took the bag, took out five pieces of Tongxuan Stone, and picked out a bunch of items of different colors, and gave them to the little tree spirit whose eyes were shining with treasures. He reached out and rubbed the top of the tree spirit's head happily. He never cared about how Liu Xianfeng used the treasure materials in his hands.

"Sir, the fifth- and sixth-level materials and other remaining items are still piled up in the valley, guarded by Xueli."

Liu Xianfeng pulled the young master out and said, "Mr. Zeng said that when you come out of retreat, he will ask you to go to the top of the mountain. He needs you to refine some materials for him."

Flying down into the valley, I saw all kinds of materials neatly stacked there, with a dark green wood scent lingering around.

Snowflake, who was sleeping on the ground out of boredom, woke up with a start.

Oops, it was caught by the big sister again. It put on a flattering posture, twisted its body and just as it got closer, the big sister kicked it silently. It then took the opportunity to rub against the hem of the young man's robe.

"Thank you for keeping watch, Xueli. Now go and have fun."

Xu Yuanchang stretched out his free left hand and touched Xue Li's icy forehead.

The snowflakes quickly ran away.

Xu Yuanchang put all the materials into the space and asked a few questions about the situation in Fu Cailing.

It is said that Zhuifeng moved the most treasures, and the underground caves were almost full. For a long time, Zhuifeng would not go out. He stayed in his nest, ate and slept, slept and ate again, and lived a comfortable life of cultivation like a pig.

Yuanbao, Jinchan and Huabei each take what they need. They devour treasure materials at fixed times and come out for a spin every three to five days.

"We need people to run errands on and off the mountain. We can't all practice in seclusion. Xueli volunteered to do some mountain patrol chores. I promised Xueli that whoever is free later will replace her. We are all family, so we shouldn't be petty."

Liu Xianfeng held back her laughter and described her little revenge in a fresh and refined way.

Xu Yuanchang smiled and excused Xueli: "Xueli is very sensible, don't always punish it on purpose..."

Seeing the little tree spirit blinking and pointing towards the top of the mountain, they stopped talking and let them play. I wonder what the little tree spirit is up to next?
"Mr. Zeng is still waiting for you. I won't delay your business."

Liu Xianfeng stopped and said with a smile.

She wanted to create opportunities for Xueli so that she could run errands for Mr. Zeng. What if she was treated differently?
She already knew that Mr. Zeng was going to use the Nine Illusion Cauldron to refine elixirs, and he was going to start from the third level.

Xueli is resourceful and good at handling things, and can get along with anyone. Lazy people have good fortune, and his cultivation is progressing the fastest. He has already surpassed Jinchan and advanced to the late third level, but he still lacks a little opportunity.

Xu Yuanchang walked up to the top of the mountain, knocked on the door and walked into the courtyard. He said a few words to Zeng Wanglou who was reading a book in the main room, and then sat down opposite him.

Zeng Wanglou put down the books on elixirs he had collected in Bian Huan City, took out a storage bag, and said, "There are quite a few medicinal herbs, spiritual fluids, and materials. I'd like to trouble you to help me refine them according to the requirements on the note. Time is not too urgent."

Xu Yuanchang took the bag and examined it for a while, asking about a few refined details so that he had a clear idea of ​​what was going on. After chatting for a while, he went down the mountain.

His method of refining medicinal herbs, spiritual liquids and other materials was simple and crude. He was already proficient in controlling the divine light of creation and controlled the temperature very carefully. In less than two hours, all the materials were refined at once.

He controlled it again and again, and it was still better than what Lao Zeng had required... visibly better than what the naked eye could see.

There is a trace of invisible power of creation contained in it.

On the fifth day, Xu Yuanchang opened the door and went up the mountain. On the way, he met Xueli who was crawling around boredly like a cricket pupa. He waved at Xueli. He probably understood what Liu Xianfeng meant, and walked into the yard on the top of the mountain with the excited Xueli.

"You finished refining it so quickly?"

Zeng Wanglou ignored the follower behind him and asked in surprise. He took the bag and scanned it with his spiritual sense. His usually calm expression changed slightly. He took out the bottles, jars and materials one by one and examined them carefully.

"You have mastered the fire control to perfection. This is the best level of refining I have ever seen. Are you interested in learning how to refine pills?"

"I don't have much free time at the moment, I'll ask Mr. Zeng for advice later."

Xu Yuanchang declined Mr. Zeng's kindness. He knew his own level well, and it seemed like a good choice for him to become a "Refiner" with the help of the Creation Altar in the future.

"Sure, whenever you want to learn, feel free to come find me."

It was rare for Zeng Wanglou to meet a versatile person like him, so they had a sense of mutual respect for each other. He didn't want Xu Yuanchang to bury his talent. He hoped that his practice would enter a high-level stage and he could learn more about cultivation techniques, which would have unspeakable benefits for his future practice insights and inspirations.

Many things have something in common at high levels, and often you can't go down one path to the end.

You need to try everywhere and think or understand from multiple perspectives.

Xu Yuanchang smiled and thanked him, and said casually: "If you need any errands in the future, Zeng Lao can ask Xueli to do it. Although it is a little casual, it completes the tasks assigned to it very well."

He turned around and walked away two steps, revealing his big face to the Xueli who was hiding behind him and was a little shy.

Xueli hurriedly bent her body to salute in a flattering manner, and hurriedly hid behind the young master again.

Zeng Wanglou smiled and nodded, saying, "I just need someone to test the medicine. Little guy, if you are brave enough, go up the mountain in half a month and try the new medicine I made. It shouldn't kill you."

Xueli was almost scared to death when she heard that.

Sir, please stop playing, as it is worried that it will not be able to enjoy it.
