Chapter 252 Old Acquaintance
Guoshan County has come to an end for Chen Luo, but it does not mean that Guoshan County no longer exists.
There are still many secrets in that place. Master Wuwei Zhenren has some relationship with that place. When he was at Wudao Peak, Wuwei Zhenren clearly said that he had been to Guoshan County and brought his senior sister Bai Su out from there.
Later, Guoshan County also caused a great demonic chaos. As far as Chen Luo has seen so far, Guoshan County does not have the ability to threaten Jindan cultivators. Why did such a place make the three major sects in the past unable to deal with it, and finally had to use a seal to hastily deal with it.
A few days later, the flying boat crossed the She Kingdom and reappeared in the territory of Shenhu Xianmen.
As soon as he landed, Chen Luo felt the unparalleled prosperity, and the scale of the market outside the sect expanded again. Shenhu Xianmen, with the Jindan ancestor sitting in the palace, is a holy place for cultivation in the eyes of the cultivators of the seven countries. It is the safest trading place. The land around the market has reached the point where it is hard to find a fortune. The momentum of Shenhu Xianmen has also reached its peak.
The hidden dangers hidden under the prosperity were deliberately erased by the top leaders of Shenhu Xianmen.
The prosperous market generates a large number of transactions every day, and these transactions will bring huge spiritual stone income to Shenhu Xianmen. The masters of the major peaks of Shenhu Xianmen do not need to do anything every day, just stay in the mountains to get unimaginable income.
"Fragrant butter chicken, please enjoy it slowly, sir."
The waiter brought a pure wooden tray, opened the lid, and the fragrance inside spread out.
The wine and food on the table are colorful, but the attention of several people is not on the wine and food.
This is the private room on the second floor.
Huang Ying, wearing an apricot-yellow long skirt, sat by the window, looking out the window, wondering what she was thinking. Opposite was a middle-aged man and a young girl. The man was Fu An, who had entered the sect with Huang Ying and Chen Luo.
Because of his qualifications, Fu An gave up the pursuit of the immortal way and returned to Changnan Kingdom to inherit the throne. Now he is the contemporary Zhenbei King of Changnan Kingdom. The young girl next to him is Fu An's daughter Fu Xiaoru. Over the past 20 years, Fu An has grown from a young boy to a powerful prince. He has spent most of his energy on fighting for power and cultivating the next generation.
To this day, Fu An's cultivation is still at the third level of Qi Refining, without any improvement.
The further you go in cultivation, the greater the gap.
Fu An's aptitude is not good, and he gave up cultivation because of power. It is considered a solid foundation that his cultivation has not regressed in recent years.
Not everyone can keep moving forward on the immortal road. Just like schoolwork, there are only a few people who can make it to the end. The rest of the people fell behind in the process, not because they didn't want to move forward, but because they stopped.
"Senior sister, Xiaoru's matter"
Fu An picked up the wine glass with a reserved look and a smile on his face.
Over the past 20 years, the relationship between the two sides has long been estranged. He is a powerful prince in the mortal world, but this identity is worthless in Shenhu Xianmen.
Originally, Fu An wanted to ask Chen Luo for help. When he left, he made a deal with Chen Luo and gave Chen Luo a monster bone. He also heard the news that Chen Luo became a true disciple in the following years. Their family relied on Chen Luo's reputation to overcome the difficulties. It's a pity that the subsequent relationship did not continue. On the one hand, it was because of Fu An's own family's affairs, and on the other hand, he lost his identity as a disciple of Shenhu Xianmen and was not qualified to enter the mountain gate.
This time he came back for his daughter.
After he came here, he found that Chen Luo had left the mountain gate a long time ago. Although his identity was still there, he had no influence. In contrast, Huang Ying, a senior sister in the perfect state of Qi Refining, became the new deacon of the sect and was responsible for managing many important affairs.
Fu An also spent a lot of money and used some connections to send the message to the mountain and get in touch with Senior Sister Huang Ying.
"As long as the child's qualifications are not a problem, there will be no problem staying in the mountain."
Huang Ying glanced at Fu An. This former junior brother had completely changed. The look in her eyes was full of humility. The look of someone begging for her daughter made her feel a little disappointed.
She had encountered similar things many times in these years. Two months ago, the descendants of Senior Brother Huang Bu Tong also came to find her relationship, and Senior Brother Hu Qiu Dao also sent a letter.
"Thank you, Senior Sister! This cup, I toast to you."
Fu An was surprised when he heard this, and he picked up the wine glass in his hand and drank it all.
"Thank you, Aunt Huang Ying."
Fu An's daughter Fu Xiaoru also stood up hurriedly. Before coming, her father had already reminded her that the banquet was for a big shot, which was related to whether she could stay in the mountain in the future.
"Don't be so polite, our... Senior Brother?!"
Huang Ying's eyes froze as she looked out the window, and she stood up all of a sudden. At the end of the noisy street, Chen Luo, dressed in a green shirt, just got off the flying boat.
When Huang Ying looked over, Chen Luo also sensed her presence.
The two looked at each other, and a smile appeared on Chen Luo's face.
"Long time no see, Junior Sister Huang Ying."
Even though they were so far apart, Huang Ying could clearly hear Chen Luo's voice. Fu An beside him was also stunned, and he also saw Chen Luo outside.
The other party was still the same as he remembered, without any change.
"I didn't expect to meet an old friend as soon as I came back."
The voice appeared in the restaurant. Huang Ying, Fu An and Fu Xiaoru turned around at the same time and found that Chen Luo had appeared next to them.
"When"
Fu Xiaoru covered her mouth. She couldn't understand how Chen Luo came up. He was walking downstairs one moment, but he was upstairs the next moment after being hundreds of meters away.
"Senior brother, have you broken through again? The middle stage of foundation building?!"
Unlike the shock of Fu An and his daughter, Huang Ying knew about Chen Luo's breakthrough. She has been practicing hard over the years, and her biggest dream is to catch up with her senior brother and be on the same level as him. However, they have not seen each other for more than 20 years. His senior brother has gone further on the path of immortality, but she is still in the Qi Refining Realm.
"I went for a walk and had some adventures."
Chen Luo smiled and replied. He sat down next to a few people and looked at the food and wine on the table, suddenly feeling some appetite.
He sat down and took a sip of wine.
Mellow and sweet.
‘It turns out it’s not the food that’s boring, it’s the people who are wrong. ’
Chen Luo felt a little excited in his heart, and a little enlightenment emerged from his heart.
‘Foundation building? ! ’
The faces of Fu An and his daughter next to them were full of shock. They did not expect to meet the legendary foundation-building monk when they came this time. This kind of person could serve as an elder even in the immortal sect. What shocked Fu Xiaoru the most was that this foundation-building monk was actually related to her father.
"Why are you still inside the door? I remember reminding you before leaving."
Chen Luo took another bite of chicken, which was tender and delicious.
"I left the sect for a while before, but my practice was affected after I came down from the mountain. Without the sect's channels, I couldn't purchase many spiritual materials."
"I was negligent."
Chen Luo suddenly realized that not everyone was like him, drawing talismans and refining elixirs by himself. Although the influence of spiritual veins on him was there, it was far from exaggerated.
As long as he is willing, he can practice anywhere. But Huang Ying and the others are different. If they leave the big tree of Shenhu Immortal Gate, their practice will be affected, and they may not be able to build a foundation in their lifetime.
Compared with the opportunity to build a foundation, the danger is not that important.
"The Qi Refining Realm has been completed and the progress is good."
Sensing Huang Ying's realm, Chen Luo praised her.
"I haven't stopped practicing these years."
Huang Ying smiled and said, with a glint in her eyes.
Seeing her senior brother again, she seemed to have returned to more than twenty years ago.
At that time, she had just started and relied on Senior Sister Shen's relationship to earn some training resources. She accidentally learned the secret that her senior brother could also draw talismans, and she earned enough resources by reselling them between two families. It is precisely because of these relationships that she was able to have smooth sailing in the early stages.
"Senior Brother Chen."
After the two of them finished talking, Fu An nervously said hello. The youngest daughter Fu Xiaoru next to him was full of curiosity. She didn't expect that there was such a big shot among her father's senior brothers.
Foundation-building elder!
If she can establish a relationship, wouldn't she be able to walk sideways in the Immortal Sect in the future?
"Fu An's daughter has good qualifications, with medium-grade three spiritual roots of water, fire, and gold. I'm going to introduce her to Enlightenment Peak." Seeing Chen Luo looking over, Huang Ying explained.
"Um."
Chen Luo did not ask about this matter.
He has been away from Shenhu Immortal Sect for too long, and many of the rules are different from those at that time. Huang Ying is now the deacon of the Immortal Sect, so it is most appropriate to handle this kind of matter. It was only after seeing Fu An that he remembered the original deal. After taking the monster bone, he forgot about Fu An. Fortunately, the other party came through on his own. Thinking of this, Chen Luo stretched out one hand, and a small emerald green box appeared in his hand.
"This is the spirit-gathering pill I refined. Take it when you pass the test. It can increase the success rate."
A pill flew out of his hand and fell into Fu Xiaoru's hand.
It's just the most common first-level elixir, which is the most suitable gift for Fu An and his daughter. No matter how valuable it is, it is beyond their level and may lead to death.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Chen!"
"Thank you, Uncle Chen."
Fu Xiaoru's eyes were also shining, this was a magic elixir, and it was the best one with elixir patterns! She had never seen this precious elixir in the palace before.
After finishing the meal, Fu An took Fu Xiaoru and left, apparently going back to prepare training resources.
Huang Ying took Chen Luo to a house at the foot of the mountain.
"This is my residence. Although I have returned to the sect, I always remember what my senior brother said. Living under the mountain can avoid the whirlpool on the mountain, and you can escape as soon as possible when encountering danger."
Opening the door, there is an antique courtyard inside.
The layout is very elegant.
The yard is filled with various flowers, and there is a pool of clear water next to it, with two fish in it. Chen Luo dispersed his consciousness, looked around the yard, and found a simple spirit gathering array in the corner.
To be precise, this 'Spirit Gathering Formation' is not even a first-order formation, it is just the result of a simple formation stone. Array Masters were very rare and not something Huang Ying could afford. (End of chapter)
