Chapter 139 Three Spiritual Roots! Chen Shiyun's Power
……

"Cough cough~"

Chen Ningtai coughed twice, and when he saw that everyone's attention was drawn to him, he looked at Junior Sister Qingyao with a little doubt and said, "May I ask where did Fairy Qingyao get the rumor that our Tuantuan is in his thirties?"

"Isn't this obvious?" Junior Sister Qingyao sneered, "She can hide it from others, but not from us. Her cultivation is already at the peak of the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage. Even if she has four spiritual roots, she must be at least thirty-something, right?"

"That's my Junior Sister Jianli. She was already 27 or 28 years old when she reached this level of cultivation! Right, Junior Sister Jianli?"

She is extremely confident in her judgment.

There are many junior brothers and sisters in Qinglian Sword Pavilion, and she has seen a lot of them. She is very clear about the cultivation speed of cultivators with different spiritual roots in the Qi Refining Stage, and she believes that she will never make a wrong judgment.

however.

Si Jianli, who was called, did not answer her. Instead, she stared at Chen Shiyun, with surprise gradually showing in her eyes, as if she had discovered something incredible.

"Some fairies don't know."

Chen Ningtai casually shot out a golden light, which turned into a barrier as thin as a cicada's wing, blocking the surrounding sounds and sights. Then he lowered his voice and spoke.

"Our Tuantuan is the disciple of Master Xuanyang of the Yunyang Sect, but our family is relatively low-key and has not publicized this matter to the public."

Disciple of the mantle?

When these words were spoken, Lu Qingyao and Kou Qianjue were both shocked and stood there in a daze.

They know very well what the words "disciple" mean.

This means that this little girl named "Tuan Tuan" definitely has three spiritual roots!

They looked at Chen Shiyun on the stage, then at Chen Ningtai, their eyes full of disbelief.

On the contrary, Si Jianli was relatively calm. After a slight shock, a look of "as expected" appeared in his eyes.

"As for age, how can we fake it? Our competition is to distribute the benefits of the market town. Even if our family wants to fake it, the other two families will not be happy." Chen Ningtai said calmly.

Patriarch Anxuan of the Zhao clan and Patriarch Haoze of the Zheng clan both nodded in agreement upon hearing this: "When Miss Shiyan was born, both our families sent gifts to her. How could her age be fake?"

Junior Sister Qingyao’s face turned red and white, and she was speechless for a moment.

She was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

She didn't expect that this little girl whom she looked down upon was actually the successor of the Golden Elixir Method!

What on earth is wrong with this successor? Handing out flyers on the street and helping to repair the spiritual boat while covered in grease?
Most importantly, wait…didn’t she lose?

“But… but even for a genius with three spiritual roots, it’s a bit exaggerated to have such a level of cultivation at the age of 25.” After Senior Sister Qian Jue came to her senses, she couldn’t help but have new doubts, “This progress is even faster than that of our Junior Sister Jian Li~”

"It's not impossible." Si Jianli said calmly, "Even if there are three spiritual roots, there are still some differences between them. It seems that Sister Shiyan's aptitude in the fire spiritual root is better than the other two spiritual roots. In addition, there are abundant resources. If she practices more diligently and has some sudden enlightenment opportunities, it is entirely possible for her to achieve such an achievement at this age."

"That's right." Chen Ningtai said with a smile, "Our Tuantuan was particularly sensitive to fire when he was born, so his name contains the word 'fire'. He also became a disciple of Master Xuanyang very early on and practiced very hard."

"Amazing~" Si Jianli's eyes showed a touch of tenderness, as if she was happy for Chen Shiyun, "It seems that Junior Sister Shiyun has a bright future. Not only is the chance of reaching the Golden Core much higher, she may even have the opportunity to reach the peak of the sixth level of the Golden Core in the future."

The reason why he didn't mention the seventh level of the Golden Core Stage was because Si Jianli also knew that the limit of Fentian Peak's authentic inheritance [The Fiery Burning Heaven Art] was the peak of the sixth level of the Golden Core Stage.

If one wants to break through the limits of the technique, tread on a path that no one has tread before, and develop a method of cultivation for the third level of the Golden Elixir, the Purple Mansion Level, it is not something that can be done with just three spiritual roots.

"Haha, Fairy Jianli, I appreciate your good wishes. From now on, when our Shiyan travels in the world of immortals, please take good care of him, Fairy Jianli." Chen Ningtai immediately took advantage of the situation and began to establish a relationship with Si Jianli.

"Since we are sisters from the same sect, it is natural for us to take care of each other." Si Jianli's attitude became less distant, and she became a little closer to Chen Ningtai.

The reason is simple. The age difference between her and Chen Shiyun is only seventy or eighty years. According to the five hundred year lifespan of a Jindan cultivator, they are of the same generation and will most likely have dealings with each other for hundreds of years in the future.

In Si Jianli's eyes, it was her senior sisters Qingyao and Qianjue who were not really the same kind as her. After all, they had only been together for sixty or seventy years.

And at this time.

Junior Sister Qingyao and Senior Sister Qianjue's turbulent moods gradually calmed down and they slowly calmed down.

However, at this time, the way they looked at Chen Shiyun was different. There was no longer any trace of pride in their hearts, but instead a trace of awe.

This Chen Shiyun is different from Chen Xiuyang. The latter lacks the correct method and his chances of being promoted to the Golden Elixir are slim, while Chen Shiyun is almost certain to be the future Golden Elixir!

Even though Lu Qingyao keeps talking about the Zhongzhou Lu family all day long, the family has three Jindan ancestors, but the Jindan ancestors are still ancestors, and she is not a Jindan.

Among the three Jindan in the family, the only one who pays a little attention to her is her direct ancestor, but that's limited to a little attention.

With the size of the Lu family in Zhongzhou, on average a person with four spiritual roots is born every two to five years. She, Lu Qingyao, is just an ordinary member among them.

Seeing the shocking scene, Chen Ningtai smiled and said, "As I said before, our family is relatively low-key, please don't publicize the matter of Shi Yan."

Qingyao and Qianjue both nodded repeatedly.

And Si Jianli nodded solemnly and agreed: "Okay."

While talking.

The game has begun.

Chen Shiyan and Zhao Wanli, who had five spiritual roots, fought well and fought for half an incense stick of time. Finally, Shiyan made a move to force him back, and Zhao Wanli also surrendered in a hurry, bowing to Chen Shiyan repeatedly in gratitude.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is no longer just releasing water, but releasing the sea.

Subsequently.

Chen Shiyun smiled and hooked his finger at Chen Xiuyang: "Nephew, come here, let your aunt measure how much progress you have made recently."

Chen Xiuyang's face suddenly fell.

Even though Aunt Shiyun now lives in the sect and seldom comes back, he never dares to underestimate this aunt.

This guy has been a big devil since he was young. Now that he is being trained by a sect, his strength will only be more abnormal than when he was a child.

However, I, the little prince of the wind, Chen Xiuyang, will try my best even if I lose.

Afterwards, Chen Xiuyang took it extremely seriously and directly used the ultimate move in [Xunfeng Tornado Technique] - [Crazy Tornado].

With the power of the Qingling Fan, a violent tornado suddenly appeared on the ring and roared towards Chen Shiyun.

Wherever it passed, even the ground of the bluestone arena was destroyed, and the broken stones rolled in the tornado, causing additional huge damage.

"It's a bit interesting." Chen Shiyun's eyes lit up, "My nephew, you are really admirable. My nephew has really grown up. In this case, auntie will respect you for once and use all her strength to deal with you."

talking.

A red bronze tripod appeared in front of her. As she pinched her fingers, flames rose up in the sky, with faint wisps of red and white flames in it.

Although the flames were thin, the aura they emitted was scorching and terrifying, as if they were going to burn the sky and destroy the earth.

"Heaven-burning fire?"

This time, even Si Jianli lost his composure.

Her pupils shrank slightly, and she asked in surprise, "Shi Yan has already mastered some of the Burning Heaven True Fire?"

However, Chen Shiyun's cultivation was still a little low. Even if it was just a wisp of Burning Heaven True Fire, it was extremely difficult for her to control it. In just a short moment, beads of sweat were already dripping down her forehead.

Just as she said, she had to do her best to treat Chen Xiuyang to show her respect for him.

Poor Chen Xiuyang, facing the horrifying flames, his mentality collapsed. He could no longer maintain his previous elegant and unrestrained momentum. He turned around and turned into a wisp of Xunfeng and started to run away frantically.

While running, he was still complaining wildly in his mind.

Who needs your respect~! Can't you just insult me ​​a little and let me finish this wave?

He seriously suspected that the big devil aunt did this on purpose. She must have seen through his intentions long ago and deliberately didn't give him the chance to pretend!

While he was ranting crazily, Chen Xiuyang had already rushed to the other side of the ring like a gust of wind, so fast that his figure could hardly be captured by the naked eye.

However, despite his extremely fast speed, the sky full of raging fire mixed with red and white flames still caught up with him at a high speed.

The flames were about to engulf him.

In this flash of lightning.

A golden light suddenly flew down from the stage and turned into a golden barrier to block the flames. No matter how the flames jumped up and down, they could not get out of the line.

After a while, the flames could no longer be sustained and finally turned into nothingness under the cover of the golden barrier!
"Okay, you two, stop messing around." Chen Ningtai's majestic voice came from the stands. "I admit defeat, I admit defeat!"

Chen Xiuyang was so frightened that he immediately surrendered.

At this moment, he was "surviving a catastrophe" and his whole body was almost soaked with cold sweat. At that moment just now, he almost thought he was going to die.

"Ah~" Chen Shiyun looked a little disappointed, and sighed, "My nephew, you are still as timid as ever. How could your aunt really bear to burn you to death? I will take you to the sect to play later, and find more brothers to practice with you."

As they were talking, the referee from Zheng's company couldn't wait to announce the end of the game.

Are you kidding? The fight between these two kids almost scared him to death as he was a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining.

With the game finalized.

Junior Sister Qingyao’s face turned pale instantly.

She lost, she lost a full twenty-two thousand spirit stones!
But this was not her most troublesome part.

The most troublesome thing is that as the result of the gambling game came out, the gamblers who had bet on Chen Xiuyang under the instigation of Junior Sister Qingyao could no longer sit still, and they all started to curse in the audience: "It was her, she was the one who colluded with the gambling stalls to set up the game and deceived us all!"

"What Miss Lu? I don't know where this wild cultivator came from, pretending to be a member of the Lu family!"

"Swindler, give us back our hard-earned money!"

The noise waves were getting louder and louder, and the situation was becoming increasingly out of control.

Under the crowd's indignation, Junior Sister Qingyao's face turned even paler, but she couldn't say anything back. After all, it was she who encouraged them to place the bet, and she even used the Lu family and Qinglian Sword Pavilion's identities to endorse it!
"Shut up, everyone."

Amid the excitement of the crowd, Chen Ningtai's voice suddenly rang out.

The sound waves spread out, making everyone's ears ring.

The next moment, the people who were in the bustling city just now fell silent and dared not say a word.

In the Sheshan market area, Chen Ningtai, the local overlord, has authority that no Lu family disciple can compare to.

After all, many of the people causing trouble at the scene made their living from the Sheshan Market. Just one word from Chen Ningtai could cause them to suffer huge losses, or even make it impossible for them to survive here.

"You lost the bet just because you followed the crowd, so you blame others for instigating you?" Chen Ningtai said coldly, "I encouraged you to fight the Blood Soul Sect, why didn't you go? In the final analysis, it's all greed! As the saying goes, if you are willing to gamble, you must accept the loss. No one forced you to place the bet!"

"If anyone dares to stir up trouble again, don't blame me, Chen, for being ruthless."

When these words were spoken, most people were shocked by Chen Ningtai. Only a few people were still unconvinced, but they did not dare to act rashly.

"Thank you very much, Master Ningtai, for taking charge of this matter." Junior Sister Qingyao blushed and expressed her gratitude.

She used to look down on this kind of rural tyrant, but she didn't expect that he was far superior to her in terms of power, bearing, and tyranny.

Chen Ningtai waved his hand to show that he didn't care, and then he said loudly: "However, after all, this matter involves the reputation of Zhongzhou Lu family, Wanhua Palace, and my Cangyi Chen family. Since you have doubts, then return all your bets! Of course, it is limited to the bets placed after Fairy Qingyao placed the bet!"

"Whoever dares to cheat, don't think that our Sheshan Market is a vegetarian. Jingyun, go and do it."

"Yes, Grandpa." Chen Jingyun immediately stepped down and said loudly, "Everyone, take your credentials and come to the spinach stall to return the spirit stones."

"Thank you, Master Ningtai."

"Patriarch Ningtai is so generous!"

"The head of the family is confused!"

Below, there was another round of noise, but everyone was filled with joy.

"Fairy Qingyao, please withdraw your bet as well." Chen Ningtai said calmly.

"no need."

Junior Sister Qingyao shook her head.

At this point, her eyes gradually became clearer, and she said firmly: "I was blind before and didn't realize it. I also encouraged the people to bet and cause trouble. Master Ningtai can help me stop those troublemakers. Qingyao is very grateful. I don't need to return these bets. Let me buy a lesson for myself."

Although her temper is not good, she can still tell who is right and who is wrong.

She was emotional and angry before, but now that she thinks about it carefully, she has realized her problem.

This time, after all, it was her own problem.

She was the one who didn't believe in Wang Qianqian's weapon-refining skills and insisted on changing to the market.

She was the one who was unwilling to pay the high repair fee and insisted on winning it back in the gambling game.

She was the one who was overconfident in her judgment and placed a heavy bet without even fully understanding the situation of the contestants.

It was she who took advantage of the situation and wanted to make Wang Qianqian lose more money.

Having come this far, it was good enough that Chen didn't bother with her. She had no reason to let Chen take the blame for her.

Chen Ningtai was slightly stunned, but did not insist.

Afterwards, Chen Ningtai organized some clansmen and juniors to carefully entertain the three distinguished guests from Wanhua Palace, and he himself also discussed ideas with them from time to time.

With what happened before, and his deliberate efforts to make friends, the relationship between the two sides quickly became closer.

Even Si Jianli felt that his previous notion was extremely wrong. It turned out that local tyrants could also have such outstanding demeanor.

As the relationship between the two sides improved, they exchanged private communication tokens.

In this joyful atmosphere, the Qinglian Sword Boat was finally repaired.

Si Jianli certainly couldn't come up with so much cash and spirit stones, so she wrote an IOU. After she completed the mission and returned to the sect, she would personally return the money.

Alternatively, Chen could also take the IOU and go directly to Wanhua Palace to collect the spirit stones.

"Goodbye, Sister Qingyao, Sister Qianjue, and Sister Jianli."

In the square, Chen Shiyun waved goodbye. The Qinglian Sword Boat slowly took off into the air, soon entered the clouds, and flew towards the East China Sea.

Only Qingyao was dazed and distraught.

What did she go through during this wave?
Not only was the mission in vain, but I also owed a lot of money.

"Junior Sister Qingyao." Senior Sister Qian Jue noticed that something was wrong with her and pulled her to the cabin. "Before we left, Patriarch Ningtai stuffed two hundred explosive crossbow arrows into our cabin, saying that it was to offset the bet. This kind of thing is very suitable for ship battles, just right for fighting the Blood Soul Sect. I saw it in the market before. This treasure is sold for 100 spirit stones each."

"Really?" Junior Sister Qingyao was shocked.

"Of course it's true." Senior Sister Qian Jue said with a smile, "I think the head of the Ningtai family is afraid that you will lose too much and be unable to repay, so he specially uses this batch of explosive crossbow arrows to pay off your debt for your sake. In this way, you won't lose this time."

"Junior Sister Qingyao, Patriarch Ningtai is not interested in you, is he? I heard that his first wife has been dead forty or fifty years! Do you think he wants to remarry?"

"Senior Sister Qian Jue, you, you, you... don't talk nonsense."

"If you don't like him, then I'll give it a try." Senior Sister Qian Jue lifted her hair, recalling Chen Ningtai's demeanor, and her eyes unconsciously revealed a bit of longing, "He is only about 130 years old now, the same age as me. I'm a little tired of fighting alone these years, and I've done a lot for the family. It's time to find someone to rely on!"

"Uh..." Junior Sister Qingyao.

****
And as the market fair came to an end.

Chen Xuanmo also returned to the main house and fell into a deep sleep, waiting to wake up next year.

He didn't know how long it had been, but he suddenly heard Chen Ningtai's slightly anxious voice in his ears: "Father, Father, please show yourself."

"Buzz!"

Chen Xuanmo woke up suddenly.

The Xuan Mo Ling Sword trembled, signaling Chen Ningtai to speak quickly.

"Father, Fairy Si Jianli sent a private communication talisman saying that they and their group were ambushed by the Blood Soul Cult and are in danger!" Chen Ningtai's face was extremely solemn.

"what?"

Chen Xuanmo was slightly stunned, then he instantly became alert.
