Chapter 302: Earthly Secrets and the Four Great Sects (Part 3)

——The third update is here. There will be three more updates tomorrow. The first update will be at dawn tomorrow. Please support me with your recommendation and monthly tickets.

Shi Xuan said calmly: "How can you guarantee the accuracy of the news?"

The man patted his chest and said: "You can ask about my reputation in Canglan City. I will never do anything to cheat. I see that you are new here and it is easy to offend people you shouldn't offend. That's why I came to ask you. I won't tell others."

He boasted a lot, but Shi Xuan could see that Qian De San probably only knew some common news and could only sell it to monks like Shi Xuan who had just entered the city. It just so happened that Shi Xuan was more interested in common news. It would help him understand this world and the distribution of forces, so he smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Daoist Qian, to take me to a place and have a good chat."

Perhaps he was shocked by Shi Xuan's calm and confident smile, Qian Desan moved his mouth and finally managed to say a few words: "Give me five low-grade spirit stones first." It seems that he was afraid that Shi Xuan would run away after hearing the news.

I didn't expect that spirit stones could be used in this world, but it's also normal. Spirit stones are used to set up formations and are definitely not useless things. Shi Xuan threw five low-grade spirit stones over casually: "Take me to a restaurant first, don't block other people's way at the city gate."

Unexpectedly, Shi Xuan took out five low-grade spirit stones without blinking, and Qian Desan smiled immediately and took Shi Xuan to a restaurant not far away. His judgment of Shi Xuan was upgraded from a cultivator who was unfamiliar with the world to a cultivator who was unfamiliar with the world but rich and powerful. Maybe he could make another fortune.

After handing the black bear over to the restaurant, Shi Xuan asked for a seat on the first floor of the restaurant, where people were coming and going, and it was convenient for him to hear more news.

"Since a cave appeared on the riverside of Canglan City a year ago, it has been emitting bursts of precious light every night. Many cultivators went down to investigate, but all of them died in it, including a master of the 'Golden Core Realm'. Later, Pu Yannian, the 'Fa Xiang' Zhenren of the Seven Mountains Alliance, spread the word that it was the cave residence of Diji Zhenren, one of the seven ancient true immortals, and it would be opened in half a month, and countless treasures, elixirs, spiritual tools, and even magic weapons and the secret method of Diji Zhenren to achieve the Yuanshen." Qian Desan couldn't help but lower his voice when he said the latter part.

Fa Xiang? Could this be what Grandma Yu said about the small similarities and big differences? Shi Xuan secretly pondered in his heart, and also understood that the name of this world came from the ancient seven immortals, but he said coldly: "If I don't know this news, why would I come here?"

Qian De San said awkwardly: "Isn't this the beginning? Let's get to the point. Now, two Dharma real people from the Seven Mountains Alliance and the Firewood Sect of the four major sects have arrived in Canglan City. They are Chaori Zhenren Pu Yannian and Huolong Zhenren Zhong Qiuping. The two Dharma real people from Shuiyuemen and Fahua Sect are said to be arriving soon."

"Oh, who are they?" This Dharma real person seems to be the highest realm strength in this world, Shi Xuan asked.

"The one coming from the Fahua Sect is Master Huitong, the Hundred Hands Immortal, and the one coming from the Shuiyue Sect is Master Miaoyin, the White Lotus Immortal. Tsk tsk, it is said that the Saint Wen Nianxi from the Shuiyue Sect will also come. She is the most beautiful woman in the world, and her strength is also one of the best among her peers. If I can take a look at her, I, Qian Desan, will be satisfied." Qian Desan seemed to be extremely fascinated by Wen Nianxi. According to Shi Xuan's spiritual sense, most of the cultivators in the restaurant expressed this when they mentioned Wen Nianxi.

However, Shi Xuan had no interest in Wen Nianxi, so he asked directly, "Are there any other Dharma-Appearance Masters coming?"

Qian Desan didn't expect that there would be a male cultivator who didn't like to hear about Wen Nianxi, and his expression showed dissatisfaction, but the person in front of him was his bread and butter after all, so he could only continue, "Among the casual cultivators, Master Zixia Yun Congyue and Master Xingchen Cang Fufeng are here. Speaking of which, only six of the twelve great Dharma-Appearance Masters in the world have come, which is half of them. If the other Dharma-Appearance Masters hadn't had to guard the sect, I'm afraid all twelve would have come. Master Diji's inheritance is extraordinary."

Twelve Dharma-Appearance Masters, four major sects, Shi Xuan had a general understanding of the distribution of forces. Then he asked, "Are these immortals here for the secret method of Yuanshen of Diji Zhenren?"

"Of course." Qian Desan said without hesitation, "Although they are also called immortals, they are far from the immortal Yuanshen Zhenren who can live forever. Their life span is only about a thousand years. Who doesn't want to get the secret method of Diji Zhenren to achieve Yuanshen and live forever?"

Shi Xuan understood that the secret method of Diji Zhenren to achieve Yuanshen should be one of the seven methods of achieving Yuanshen mentioned by Yu Po Po, but he didn't know how different it was from the orthodox Taoist sect? Of course, Shi Xuan said in confusion on the surface, "But don't the four major sects also have the secret method of achieving Yuanshen? Why do they come to snatch the Diji Zhenren's?"

This is just Shi Xuan's inference based on common sense. It is unlikely that they can dominate the world and be called the four major sects without the inheritance of the seven ancient immortals. Even if they guessed wrong, they can also blame it on the rumors.

Qian Desan opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and was somewhat at a loss for words. He thought for a long time before saying, "Even if we have it, you can come and rob it. Wouldn't the sect have one more secret method to achieve the Yuan Shen in the future?"

Then his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of other good explanations: "The most important thing is that we can't let other cultivators get it. If others achieve the Yuanshen, they can set up a sect and be called the five major sects. Wouldn't the four major sects have less spiritual herbs, spiritual stones, and materials? Nine years ago, the Yin-Yang God, no, the Yin-Yang Demon Sect was wiped out by the four major sects after it was rumored that they had the "Heaven and Earth Baking Furnace Ascension Method" of Yin-Yang Zhenren, one of the seven ancient immortals."

As soon as the voice fell, the leader of the young cultivators who had just entered the restaurant showed an angry look on his face, walked over, and shouted "What do you know as a street thug?! Back then, the Yin-Yang Demon Cult intended to summon the Yin demons with the power of the Yuanshen in the ancient tombs of wild beasts, endangering the world. That's why our Huomu Sect joined forces with the other three major sects to wipe them out. How could it be that they coveted their "Heaven and Earth Baking Furnace Ascension Method"?!"

He had a handsome face, wearing a green and red Taoist robe, and had the pressure of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on him. Shi Xuan judged that he was in the Qi Induction Stage, but he didn't know what realm this world was in. However, his last sentence made Shi Xuan laugh. It was really too much of a cover-up.

Qian Desan's face turned pale, his lips kept shaking, and his teeth chattered as he said, "I'm talking nonsense, I'm talking nonsense, please forgive me, Immortal." He apologized and slapped himself in the face, and his face became red and swollen in an instant.

Seeing that Qian De San was quite sensible, the young cultivator's anger eased, and he turned to look at Shi Xuan: "Since you heard it, slap yourself twice, and the matter of insulting my Huo Mu Sect is over."

Shi Xuan didn't expect that the disciples of the Huo Mu Sect would be so domineering, or is it that the four major sects here treat ordinary cultivators like this? Do you still want to cultivate your mind?

Shi Xuan raised his head and looked at the young cultivator, with purple light flashing in his eyes.

The young cultivator was confused for a while, raised his hand and slapped himself, saying: "I don't know the height of the sky and the depth of the earth, I don't respect my elders." Then he waved his hand to signal the cultivators behind him to follow him to the second floor of the restaurant, without even looking at Shi Xuan, as if Shi Xuan no longer existed here.

The cultivators who followed him were also swept by Shi Xuan's eyes, and followed him upstairs in a daze.

This incident made the people who noticed the scene just now open their mouths wide. They had only seen the four major sects asking people to apologize, but had never seen the disciples of the four major sects apologize, and the apology was slapping themselves.

"Just now, was it you who did it?" Qian Desan looked at Shi Xuan with an incredible look, and was extremely shocked. This person was most likely not a cultivator in the Out-of-Body Realm, but in the Divine Ability Realm. Otherwise, how could he control the disciples of the Huomu Sect in the Qi Induction Realm?

Shi Xuan nodded without comment.

Qian Desan came to his senses and said hurriedly: "You have caused a big disaster this time! The Huomu Sect will not let you go! Even if you are in the Divine Ability Realm. If the small ones don't work, the big ones will come, and if the big ones don't work, the old ones will come. Even if you are made of iron, how many nails can you hammer?"

"Will the Huomu Sect send out cultivators above the Divine Ability Realm for such a small matter?" Shi Xuan didn't know what realm was above the Divine Ability Realm, so he had to say this.

"Of course, the four major sects are very protective of their shortcomings. The Dharma Realm will naturally not come to deal with you, but it's hard to say about the Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm." Qian Desan said worriedly.

The four major sects acted in this way. They would send out the Jindan Grandmaster for such a small matter. Their disciples' character could not be tempered. Could it be that there was something special about the skills in this world?

However, Shi Xuan was not nervous at all. Instead, he smiled leisurely and said, "They can't remember my breath. All the cultivators on the first floor of this restaurant can't remember my breath. As long as I change it a little bit, the Huomu Sect won't be able to find me. So, it's you who are in big trouble, not me." While speaking, he stretched out his hand, and the palm of his hand was hidden with the Yin-Yang Divine Realm, which rotated in the opposite direction and eliminated a lot of breath.

Qian Desan looked at Shi Xuan stupidly, watching him get up leisurely and go out of the restaurant. Suddenly, panic surged in his heart, and he followed him in two steps. At present, only this master of the supernatural realm could protect him.

It was not until Shi Xuan and Qian De San had left for a long time that angry and hateful shouts were heard from the second floor of the restaurant. The cultivators on the first floor could only remember what happened before, but they could not remember the aura of the two cultivators who provoked the disciples of Huo Mu Sect. Even their appearance was extremely vague.

Shi Xuan rode the black bear slowly on the street. This was a very quiet alley with almost no one coming and going. Qian De San followed Shi Xuan and sighed, "Senior, you have hurt me badly. Don't think that you are the son of Duo Tian and can still live well after offending the people of the four major sects. He is a person who can achieve the golden elixir in less than fifty years of cultivation."

Fifty years of golden elixir, could it be that the skills here are so different from those of the orthodox Taoist sect? Shi Xuan asked calmly, "Son of Duo Tian?"
