Cultivating Immortality in the Winter Wasteland

Chapter 456 Qingqiu Fox

Xu Yun, the true disciple of Lan Cuifeng, came to Chen Wang's residence, and the elders of the guest officials soon learned about it.

They were a little unconvinced at first, thinking that Chen Wang was just a wild monk.

And judging by his temper, he must have come from a remote country. He is used to being the king and hegemon in a small place. He has never seen a wider world.

How come there is a Taoist companion in Lancuifeng?

You must know that it is extremely difficult to find a Taoist companion, especially one who is in the foundation-building stage and has some background, it is even more difficult to find.

Because of this additional relationship, their eyes looked at Chen Wang with something inexplicable.

Some people are jealous, some are afraid, some even have murderous intentions, and so on.

When practicing in a crowd, especially among these guest elders, many things are difficult to predict.

If you are too special, they will suppress you. If you are too mediocre, they will look down on you. In short, it is difficult to get along.

Chen Wang ignored them.

After the previous battle between the Nascent Soul stage old demon and several Nascent Soul stage monks, he watched from the sidelines, which also greatly benefited his state of mind.

Although these people ridiculed him for not having seen the bigger world, Chen Wang had seen the peak battles of many Nascent Soul Stage monks when he was in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Not only that, there was once a master in the Nascent Soul stage who almost became his pet.

Of course, Chen Wang would not dare to mention this to the female ghost in the hosta if he saw her again, but he was quite happy to think about it.

"If Lao Wang's technique had been better, wouldn't I be able to control that female ghost now?" Chen Wang smiled slightly.

…………

He continued to practice in the Yuhua Immortal Sect.

In this Yuhuaxian Sect, the status of these guest elders is also very high.

When there is no mission to find them, their lives are very leisurely. Unlike the elders in the sect, they still need to teach some skills and explain them to lower-level disciples.

The main reason is that what they practice is not the orthodox Yuhua Xianmen's technique. If they talk about it, there are some things that they can't talk about, and they may be completely wrong.

On this day, Chen Wang was practicing with peace of mind.

Dong dong dong,

There was a knock on the door.

He looked into the bronze mirror and found two monks standing outside.

One was a middle-aged man with well-tailored clothes, and the other was about the same age as him, with gray hair and a somewhat immortal air.

Chen Wang opened the door and came outside.

The middle-aged man held up his hands and said, "I return to Xuanzi."

Another person said: "I'm Yuan Kang."

After the three people informed each other of their names,

Xuanzi explained the purpose of his visit and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Chen has been in the Immortal Sect for a while, but he still hasn't paid a visit. It's a bit disrespectful."

Then he took a pack of spiritual tea from his arms and handed it over.

In addition, Master Yuan Kang also took out a gift and said with a smile: "It's just a small gift, not a sign of respect."

Chen Wang smiled faintly on the surface, but was a little surprised in his heart.

During the time he came here, no one came to the door and the courtyard was cold. Why did two people suddenly come to visit?

But hospitality is still required.

Chen Wang led the two of them inside.

They sat down in Chen Wang's courtyard. There was a small pavilion in the courtyard, which was very elegantly built.

The three of them sat down and Chen Wang said with a smile: "I have been practicing here and have never said hello to my neighbors."

Gui Xuanzi said: "What are you talking about, Fellow Daoist Chen? You are new here. We should have visited you first."

The tone of Gui Xuanzi and Yuan Kang was extremely polite.

They chatted in the courtyard for some time.

Seeing Gui Xuanzi asking about Xu Yun's affairs, Chen Wang raised his eyebrows.

"I've known her since before I entered the Immortal Sect."

He simply said this and said no more. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, smiling without saying a word.

Gui Xuanzi couldn't wait for his next step, so he inquired in many ways, but Chen Wang remained motionless and flawless, so he didn't find out anything useful.

The three of them chatted for a while, enjoying themselves quite a bit. There was nothing wrong with Chen Wang's politeness on the surface.

Gui Xuanzi glanced around and said, "My Taoist brother lives alone in this courtyard with no one to serve him. It's really hard. I might as well send some maids to serve you."

Another Master Yuan Kang also smiled and said: "Yes, I have a woman named Song Xiu'er under my command. She is a female cultivator from a small family. She is also smart. I might as well give it to fellow Taoists so that she can take care of their daily lives. , so that fellow Taoists can concentrate on their cultivation.”

Chen Wang declined politely.

The real person Yuan Kang said: "When the two of us first came to visit, we had a very speculative conversation with the Taoist fellow. We seemed to regret meeting each other late. Is it possible that the Taoist fellow was unwilling to accept such a small offer? Isn't this a disgrace to the two of us? People’s kindness?”

Chen Wang said: "I am used to practicing alone, and I don't like having people around me."

Master Yuan Kang waved his hand and said: "Three meals a day are nothing to us as Taoists. We can cope with it by fasting. However, I don't see any of the disciples of Taoist friends coming to greet them. If someone comes to the door, is it possible for Taoist friends to come?" Do you have to greet me personally every time?”

Chen Wang was stunned for a moment when he said this, and it made sense.

But Chen Wang still refused.

These two people came to the door and wanted to give it away. If they were not naturally generous people, they had other plans.

Naturally, Chen Wang would not accept anyone.

Based on what Master Yuan Kang said, Chen Wang just declined politely.

"I am cultivating at a critical moment during this period, and I don't want to be distracted. After a while, I may need to trouble two fellow Taoists to find an informed and knowledgeable woman to act as a retainer."

Seeing Chen Wang say this, they no longer persisted.

Master Yuan Kang said with a smile: "This is easy to talk about."

After the two of them left, Chen Wang looked at their backs with a thoughtful look in his eyes, then calmed down and turned around to close the door.

"These two people have been asking about Xu Yun. It seems that they became curious because Xu Yun came here yesterday."

"Although it's a bit shallow, it actually extended an olive branch proactively, which is helpful for us to gain a foothold here."

"It's just that... what happened with Taoist Tianxu that day has not passed yet, and I am still in a state of being out of touch with others. Would anyone really be so disrespectful to Taoist Tianxu?"

"Or...these two people have other deep meanings."

Chen Wang raised his eyebrows.

"When you come, take care of them. Give them what you want, but don't accept them. Some things need to be inquired by them. Although what they say may not be true, they can also be confirmed by multiple sources and have one more channel."

Chen Wang thought.

…………

The two men were playing chess under the willow tree before, and they happened to see Xu Yun and were shocked.

I feel very sorry for the fact that Xu Yun is Chen Wang's Taoist companion.

The next day, the two of them visited again and gave some gifts.

Chen Wang also gave some things as gifts in return. This is generally how people who cultivate immortality are so sophisticated.

Chen Wang was always wary of the two of them.

Under such circumstances, the two men came to visit rashly, which made Chen Wang feel a little strange.

But Chen Wang also had his own thoughts in mind.

He asked the two of them: "The demon fox in Huling Mountain is in the foundation-building stage. Although it is a little trickier, it may not be impossible to sweep away the power of the Immortal Sect. Just send more people to occupy that place. Why do you have to do it so often?" Send the elders out to pick?"

He was a little curious about this matter and happened to ask these two people.

Yuan Kangzhen said: "Normally, it is not a problem to concentrate manpower to sweep away the demon fox, but Huling Mountain is far away from here. We cannot occupy it and then send manpower to garrison it all the year round. It is better to let the demon fox guard there, and then that Biyan Youluo cannot survive transplanted to other places, so there is no big fight in the sect."

Chen Wang nodded slightly: "I thought the sect and the demon fox had already said hello to each other, and each wanted what he wanted."

Master Yuan Kang said: "How is that possible? How can we immortal cultivators talk about cooperation with these monsters?"

Chen Wang laughed and did not mention this again. Instead, he asked: "I don't know what kind of monster that fox is. It is so powerful. The illusion is hard to guard against. If it weren't for the ancestral treasure, I really wouldn't be able to deal with him."

They also knew that Chen Wang had retrieved the Blue-Eyed Youluo from the demon fox.

When they heard the word heirloom, their eyes lit up.

Gui Xuanzi said with a smile: "I wonder what kind of ancestral treasure it is. Can you open your eyes to it?"

Chen Wang said seriously: "Normally there is no problem, but my ancestors have taught me that this thing cannot be shown to others. It can only be used in situations of life and death to save one's life."

The light in Gui Xuanzi's eyes became brighter and brighter when he heard this, but he calmed down after a moment: "In this case, I just made a mistake."

Chen Wang waved his hand and didn't care.

"Ever since I met the demon fox, its origin has made me a little curious."

Gui Xuanzi smiled and said: "Speaking of this demon fox, he is just a mortal. Although he is proficient in illusions and has a strong body, in my opinion, he must have taken some magical medicine to achieve this good fortune."

Chen Wang suddenly understood and nodded.

The three of them toasted and exchanged glasses, drinking and eating meat with a smile.

After they had had enough wine and food, Gui Xuanzi and Yuan Kangzhen left.

The two people's eyes were still a little drunk, but after leaving, although they still looked drunk, their eyes became much clearer.

But then they staggered to a house as if they were drunk.

This house is Gui Xuanzi's residence. After entering, it can block spiritual consciousness and human perception.

When the two of them entered the courtyard, they didn't even look drunk at all.

Gui Xuanzi's expression was calm and he no longer swayed. He released the hand that was supporting Yuan Kang, straightened his clothes, and said lightly: "Brother Yuan, what do you think of Chen Wang?"

Yuan Kang thought for a moment and said: "He is a good young man, and his mind is quite thoughtful, but his experience and knowledge are still a little shallow. After all, his age is limited."

Gui Xuanzi nodded: "Yes, today he mentioned the ancestral treasure. Although he refused to say it explicitly, he always let people know that he had a trump card."

"It seems that he was originally a descendant of a declining cultivation family."

Yuan Kang said: "Based on his current state at his age, he is probably supported by some kind of foundation. Maybe he discovered some resources left by his ancestors."

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the world of immortality.

The children of a run-down cultivator family suddenly discovered the cultivation resources or some kind of treasure left behind by their ancestors. Since then, their cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, and they have become famous figures in the world of cultivators.

There are not many people in this sect, but there are always people who come forward.

Gui Xuanzi muttered: "He killed the demon fox but refused to make any announcement. Compared to other young people who are arrogant and domineering, this man is a bit more low-key."

But then he paused and said: "He is low-key, but he refused to pay the fee of one thousand spirit stones to Taoist Tianxu. I almost thought he was an arrogant and domineering cultivator."

Master Yuan Kang smiled: "This is not contradictory. Young people know how to restrain their edge, but they are arrogant in their bones. He became famous at a young age, so naturally he is unwilling to be controlled by others."

Gui Xuanzi nodded: "He asked about the demon fox before, and it is obvious that the demon fox is not an ordinary species. I just don't know how much he believes my words."

Master Yuan Kang smiled: " Although he is now suspicious of the origin of the demon fox, no one else knows about it. If we hadn't heard from Fellow Daoist Tianxu, how would we know that the demon fox has the blood of Qingqiu.

Gui Xuanzi sighed: "Yes, Qingqiu has long been a legend. Qingqiu foxes are good at illusions. Although this demon fox is not purebred, there is a purebred ancestor behind him. Fellow Daoist Tianxu said that the ancestor will celebrate his birthday soon. When the time comes, his descendant bloodline will not go to celebrate the birthday, so the matter will naturally be very clear.

Yuan Kang sneered: "The old fox doesn't need to come in person, just send someone The foxes and their descendants can take Chen Wang's life. "

Gui Xuanzi said: "Yes, he is quite thoughtful. He also wonders why this demon fox can monopolize the green eyes. If there is no relationship behind it, how can Yuhua Xianmen let it go?"

Yuan Kang said in a deep voice: "Daoist Tianxu asked us to get close to Chen Wang and asked you to pretend to be attracted by his beauty and be interested in Xu Yun. The timing is good. He should believe that you are a shallow person. We should hurry up and report to Taoist Tianxu."

Gui Xuanzi was so angry that he laughed.

"What do you mean by shallow person? You and I are friends with Chen Wang, doesn't he think you are such a shallow person?"

Yuan Kang laughed,

"We are just playing tricks on him. To be honest, I really envy his good fortune. It's really jealous to find such a Taoist partner."

Gui Xuanzi said: "Yes, that woman is unforgettable at first sight, but it's a pity that she fell in love with a short-lived person like Chen Wang."

"I just hope that Taoist Tianxu will take action as soon as possible and get rid of Chen Wang. Maybe you and I will have a chance to win the heart of the beauty."

The two of them smiled at each other.

Tianxu Taoist had informed them about this matter. This Chen Wang was too ostentatious and didn't take them, the guests, seriously at all. He would be eliminated sooner or later.

There is a soundproof formation in this house, so there is no fear of others' investigation.

The two of them reviewed the details of their relationship with Chen Wang here, analyzed this person, and then prepared to find Taoist Tianxu.
