Chapter 456 Chen Xuan's gift, internal and external troubles
The Gray Bird Fairy was very excited.
What Chen Xuan casually gave her was not a top-grade elixir, but the hope of advancing to the Jindan stage.
This kind of kindness is extremely rare for any cultivator who has reached the great perfection state in the late stage of foundation building.
The Gray Bird Fairy's gratitude to Chen Xuan was beyond words.
Chen Xuan didn't think so much.
At this moment, he was flying rapidly towards the depths of the Yuling Sect.
"It has been more than half a year since I left Cangyun Temple. It feels so familiar to be back in the sect again."
Looking at the familiar plants and trees, Chen Xuan was in a good mood.
To other immortal cultivators, the Yuling Sect is just a sect.
For Chen Xuan now, there is a feeling of home.
However, before Chen Xuan arrived at the Yuling Sect's meeting hall, he heard a loud laugh coming from a distance.
"Haha, Junior Brother, you're back?"
The person who spoke was none other than True Man Qingmang.
After not seeing each other for many years, True Man Qingmang also successfully advanced to the late stage of Jindan.
But the wrinkles on his face were deeper than before.
It seems that during the time when Chen Xuan was away from Yuling Sect, this Jindan stage elder in charge of outer sect affairs had been worrying and working hard for the sect.
"Meet Senior Brother Qingmang."
Chen Xuan smiled and bowed.
He glanced at Master Qingmang and saw that he had successfully advanced to the late stage of Jindan. He smiled and said, "Congratulations, Senior Brother, for successfully advancing to the late stage of Jindan. In this way, Senior Brother is only one step away from condensing Yuanying."
Master Qingmang smiled bitterly and shook his head repeatedly.
"Brother, you are joking. I am quite old now. In fact, I only have a hundred years left before my death."
“Although I have successfully advanced to the late Jindan stage, it is impossible to condense the Yuanying in just over a hundred years.”
Master Qingmang speaks the truth.
But the atmosphere in the venue was a bit bleak.
Chen Xuan swept his solemn gaze over Master Qingmang, and seeing that the vitality in Master Qingmang's body was indeed not as strong as before, he immediately flipped his palm and took out a red Luo Yanshou fruit.
"Brother, I was out of the sect this time. I missed the gift for you when you advanced to the late stage of Jindan. But now that I'm back, I will make it up to you with this gift."
Chen Xuan laughed and handed the Hongluo Longevity Fruit to Master Qingmang.
"This……"
True Man Qingmang wanted to refuse.
But when he saw the red Luo Yanshou fruit handed over by Chen Xuan, an unconcealable look of joy suddenly appeared on his old face.
"This is... the Red Luo Longevity Fruit? Junior Brother, this gift is too expensive. You should keep it for yourself. Senior Brother is quite old. Even if he uses this, he may not have a chance to advance to the Nascent Soul stage."
Master Qingmang quickly refused.
But Chen Xuan smiled and shook his head: "Brother, although this Red Luo Longevity Fruit has the miraculous effect of increasing the lifespan of Jindan-stage cultivators, each Jindan-stage cultivator can only take one in his lifetime. I have already taken it, and I specially left this one for you, brother."
"Haha...thank you, Junior Brother. You are so thoughtful."
Master Qingmang was deeply moved.
After expressing his thanks repeatedly, he carefully put away the red Luo Yanshou fruit.
Just as the two were exchanging greetings, another surprised voice came from a distance.
"Eh? Isn't this Junior Brother Chen? You're back?"
The person who spoke was the Golden Butterfly Fairy.
There was also a hint of joy in Chen Xuan's beautiful eyes.
Chen Xuan was very happy to see the Golden Butterfly Fairy again, who had helped him a lot.
"Hello, Senior Sister Jinque. I was traveling for a long time this time. I just returned to the sect and met you and Senior Brother Qingmang." Chen Xuan said with a smile.
"what?"
The Golden Butterfly Fairy originally wanted to tease Chen Xuan, but after her beautiful eyes swept over Chen Xuan, she felt the powerful aura emanating from Chen Xuan, and was suddenly shocked.
Soon, Fairy Jindie said in surprise: "Junior brother, you... have actually advanced to the middle stage of Jindan? It seems that you have gained a lot from staying in Miaoyin Sect during this period of time!"
At the end, Fairy Golden Butterfly looked at Chen Xuan with a smile.
Chen Xuan thought for a moment and understood what Fairy Jindie meant. He smiled faintly and said, "Senior Sister, you misunderstood. I did go to Miaoyin Sect to look for Fairy Wu, but I just returned from Cangyun Temple recently."
"what?"
The expressions of Fairy Golden Butterfly and True Man Green Python changed drastically.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Chen Xuan was full of disbelief.
Cangyun Temple!
For many powerful people in the Jindan stage, it is like hell.
For a Jindan-stage cultivator who entered the Cangyun Temple, even if he had reached the late Jindan stage of great perfection, it was common for him to die.
When Chen Xuan left Yuling Sect, he was only in the early stage of Jindan.
Once you enter the Cangyun Temple, the danger will definitely be great.
However, the fact that Chen Xuan was able to return safely from the Cangyun Temple is enough to show how powerful Chen Xuan is.
For a moment, Fairy Golden Butterfly and True Man Green Python became very interested in Chen Xuan's entry into the Cangyun Temple.
The two men surrounded Chen Xuan and walked directly into the meeting hall.
A moment later, True Man Purple Python, True Man Taurus, Fairy Blue Butterfly, and True Mantis Green, who were familiar with Chen Xuan, arrived together.
Everyone laughed happily when they saw Chen Xuan return safely and his realm had been raised to the middle stage of Jindan.
"Junior Brother Chen, it's been a short while since we last met, and you have already successfully advanced to the middle stage of Jindan. It seems that it won't be long before you can advance to the late stage of Jindan and prepare to condense the Nascent Soul."
"Need I say more? With Junior Brother Chen's talent for cultivation, in my opinion, he will definitely have the hope of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage in two hundred years at most."
"Isn't it? Not to mention in our Yuling Sect, even in the entire Linhe Province, Junior Brother Chen is an extremely rare genius. If he can't advance to the Nascent Soul stage, the rest of us can forget about it."
Listening to everyone's praises, Chen Xuan chuckled and expressed his gratitude.
But he knew very well in his heart that, no matter what he said, he had to practice step by step.
Don’t say you are a genius, you may not be one.
Even if you are a genius, you cannot be lazy in cultivation.
Practicing meditation step by step and consolidating the foundation are the keys to improving your realm.
"Geniuses also have to work hard to cultivate. Moreover, if I didn't have the help of the Beast Taming Tower, I wouldn't be where I am today."
Chen Xuan sighed secretly.
Taking this opportunity, he recounted in detail his experience of entering the Cang Yun Temple.
Of course, Chen Xuan did not mention a word about his own secrets.
Even so, after learning that Chen Xuan had faced powerful enemies several times and almost died, I felt worried for Chen Xuan.
"Ahem, fellow junior brothers and sisters, Junior Brother Chen has just returned and successfully advanced to the middle stage of Jindan. This is a great thing for our Yuling Sect."
"However, Junior Brother, you have traveled a long distance this time and must be very tired. After exchanging pleasantries, let's forget about it."
"After Junior Brother Chen has rested for a while, it won't be too late for us to catch up with him."
Seeing that the time was almost up, Master Zimang spoke quickly.
Seeing this, everyone could only say goodbye one by one.
Soon, among the immortal cultivators present, only a few people were left, including True Man Purple Python, Fairy Golden Butterfly, True Man Green Python, True Man Fire Crow, and Fairy Blue Butterfly.
Master Zimang's gaze swept over Chen Xuan and his brows suddenly furrowed.
"Junior brother, although you didn't say it, I can see that you have serious internal injuries when you returned this time. Is it caused by those bastards of the Yun family?"
Master Zimang looked angry.
The spiritual energy in the body is running rapidly at this moment.
It seemed that they would attack the Yun family at any time to seek justice for Chen Xuan.
"Brother, please be patient and let us listen to what I have to say." Fairy Blue Butterfly persuaded hurriedly.
"Thank you all for your concern. Although my injuries are somewhat related to the Yun family, they are not serious."
"I wonder if you have heard of Putuo Peak and Xueluo Palace?"
Chen Xuan's eyes swept over everyone.
Soon, the expressions of Master Taurus and Master Purple Python changed drastically at the same time.
Even the Blue Butterfly Fairy's expression became very ugly.
"Junior brother, could it be that your injuries were caused by the cultivators from Putuo Peak and Xueluo Palace in Zhongzhou's cultivation world?" Fairy Blue Butterfly asked hurriedly.
Before Chen Xuan could speak, Fairy Blue Butterfly continued, "The immortal cultivation world in Zhongzhou is far more prosperous than ours in Linhezhou. The cultivation resources are also much richer than those in Linhezhou. That's why there are so many powerful people in Zhongzhou."
"Among them, Putuo Peak and Xueluo Sect are both well-known sects in the Zhongzhou cultivation world. Especially Xueluo Sect, there is a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage."
"As for Putuo Peak, it is also a powerful force that dominates one side. The master of Putuo Peak is a mid-Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse. It is said that he is only one step away from successfully advancing to the late Nascent Soul Stage."
Fairy Blue Butterfly said this, and seeing that Chen Xuan's face was getting uglier and uglier, she continued, "Junior brother, it's actually no big deal that you provoked the cultivators from these two major sects. As long as you stay in the Linhezhou cultivation world, even if they dominate one side, they won't dare to come to Zhongzhou to make trouble."
Chen Xuan knew that these were just words to comfort himself.
But he felt much more at ease in his heart.
"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, Senior Sister. I will pay attention to this matter. Recently, I will not go out unless there is something urgent."
"But, I have suffered serious internal injuries, so please keep this a secret, brothers and sisters."
Chen Xuan reminded everyone.
After seeing everyone nod, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Master Zimang looked at Chen Xuan and said, "Junior brother, although you gained a lot from your visit to Cangyun Temple this time, you also encountered a lot of troubles."
"We don't need to worry about the offense against Putuo Peak for now. But the Yun family's matter must be resolved as soon as possible."
When Chen Xuan heard this, he was immediately surprised.
"Senior brother, what do you mean?"
"To be honest, Junior Brother, I have heard that Yun Ling, the great elder of the Yun family, is planning to advance to the Nascent Soul stage. If he cannot advance to the Nascent Soul stage, it will be fine. If he advances to the Nascent Soul stage, together with the Yun family's ancestor, the Yun family will have two Nascent Soul stage cultivators. If they come directly to our Yuling Sect, we will naturally not be afraid. But if they plot against you, Junior Brother, it will be a big trouble."
After hearing what Master Zimang said, Chen Xuan's heart sank suddenly.
The invisible pressure made his expression become very solemn.
"Right now, the hidden injuries in my body have not completely healed. If I were to be targeted by a Yuanying-stage cultivator, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have a chance to survive."
"If that's the case, I have to hurry up and heal the internal injuries first."
