Zhao Haijian's expression changed drastically when he heard this.
He had just quietly spread out six kinds of colorless and odorless poison powders.
Some slow down spiritual power, some hurt the soul, and some affect the body...
It hasn't been long since then, and the other party discovered it so quickly!
And they even said there were six types.
Could it be that this person is also a master of poison?
Zhao Haijian subconsciously wanted to activate another spiritual weapon.
However, he found that his movements became extremely slow.
It seems like everything in the world has slowed down.
After a brief moment of shock, he quickly reacted.
It wasn't that his movements were slow.
It's that his body didn't receive the commands from his brain.
This is obviously the effect of poison!
Zhao Haijian forced himself to speak.
But he found that he couldn't even utter a word.
"If you didn't escape your soul immediately, you were doomed to die here."
Chu Xuan spoke lightly, as calm as a well.
This person's use of poison in front of him was obviously nothing compared to his.
He not only eliminated the six kinds of poison powder that Zhao Haijian had spread.
He also used one of the poison powders to poison Zhao Haijian in turn.
"Let's get going."
Chu Xuan stepped lightly on the ground, and suddenly floated hundreds of feet away and came in front of Zhao Haijian.
Then, shoot with one hand.
In an instant.
The latter's crown was shattered like a ripe watermelon.
Red, white and gray were splattered everywhere.
Chu Xuan's palm was wrapped in spiritual power and was not splashed at all.
However, Wang Tiancheng, who was not far away, was splashed all over his head and face.
The whole person was almost scared silly.
"Chief Wang, how are you?"
Chu Xuan stared at Wang Tiancheng and smiled slightly.
Wang Tiancheng swallowed his saliva and smiled bitterly.
Without waiting for Henry Chu to speak, he suddenly knelt on his knees and said respectfully, "Xiao Xiu is willing to be loyal to the master, and will go through fire and water, even if it means death!"
"If you betray me, I will make you suffer a catastrophe of five thunderbolts!"
After saying this, he squeezed out a drop of blood, separated a wisp of his soul, and offered it with both hands.
The speed of his movements and the skillful process are so great that people can't help but applaud and admire him.
Chu Xuan also chuckled.
This Wang Tiancheng is a man who knows how to adapt to the situation.
He smiled and said, "I think I just heard what you said."
Wang Tiancheng said respectfully, "Even if you say the same thing, it depends on who you're talking to."
"Master is far more powerful than that Zhao Haijian. I will never betray you in this lifetime."
Henry Chu seemed to be smiling.
He looked Wang Tiancheng up and down for a few times and said casually, "But I see that your body is strong and suitable for refining into a Yin corpse."
Wang Tiancheng shuddered suddenly.
I didn't expect that this gentleman was actually a corpse breeder!
His mind raced, and he immediately said, "Xiao Xiu has the Black-Cloaked Thief under his command. With just a word from the master, the Black-Cloaked Thief will be at your service!"
"Master, any information, any treasure, any resource you want, the Black Thief can get it for you!"
"Master, if you spare my life, it will definitely be more useful than turning me into a corpse!"
At the end, he kowtowed repeatedly.
The sounds of "dong dong dong" were heard continuously.
Even his forehead was broken and bleeding kept coming out.
Chu Xuan seemed to be thinking about something.
This is true.
Now that he has been away from the Broken Star Sea for more than seven years, he really needs to get information immediately.
In the future, you will need to collect the formations of the Spirit Transformation Stage to condense the Mysterious Ice Soul, which will also take time and effort.
If there is a huge organization serving you.
You can definitely save this time for practice.
Henry Chu said calmly, "I'll spare your life for now."
Wang Tiancheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When I came to my senses, I suddenly realized that I was covered in cold sweat.
The front and back were soaked.
Chu Xuan added, "I don't need the essence, blood, and spirit. Take them back."
Wang Tiancheng was stunned and looked suspicious.
real?
The owner is quite nice.
Chu Xuan ejected an insect egg and said, "Eat it. I don't use my blood and spirit to control others. It's too low-level."
Wang Tiancheng, "…Yes."
He took the wasp eggs and swallowed them without saying a word.
He had just realized that his life depended on the other party's thoughts.
Resistance is futile.
Sliding to your knees immediately is the only way to survive.
Now no matter what Henry Chu gave him, he had to eat it.
Seeing Wang Tiancheng so decisive, Chu Xuan nodded with satisfaction.
sensible.
This kind of person is comfortable to use.
"Get up and tell me what's going on." Chu Xuan stretched out his hand.
Immediately, a light breeze blew over and gently lifted Wang Tiancheng up.
Wang Tiancheng said respectfully, "It has been seven years since the Wanbao Conference, and the strange fog has lasted for six years."
"Song Tingfeng has always been obsessed with the Nine Yang Cauldron, so he has stayed on Jinlei Island for the past six years..."
He told everything he knew, not daring to leave out anything.
After listening to this, Chu Xuan seemed to be thinking about something.
There were no major changes in the East Second Ring Road, and these were all developments he could predict.
After the disappearance of Frost Master Leng Jixin, the Frost Sword Sect collapsed, and its disciples began to fight for power, eventually splitting into several factions.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the wandering gods who were wandering around the East Third Ring Road and other places came to the East Second Ring Road and established their own forces.
Heavenly Demon Palace, Divine Sword Gate, Snake Buddha Temple...
The strongest among them is the Heavenly Demon Palace.
Its palace master was respected as the Blood Demon Son. He was not originally a cultivator from the Broken Star Sea, but suddenly appeared one day and established the Heavenly Demon Palace.
This is the world of cultivating immortals.
When the big one falls down, the small one will naturally take its place.
If all the cultivators here die, cultivators from other places will naturally come and fill the vacancies.
Power never falls into a true void.
It will be controlled by someone.
Chu Xuan threw over a sound transmission jade and a bag of stones, "We will use these to communicate in the future."
"Send me a message first. If there is no response within one or two days, crush the stone."
Wang Tiancheng nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I will follow the master's orders."
Chu Xuan looked Wang Tiancheng up and down, "You are now at the first level of Spiritual Transformation and the fortieth level of Body Refining, is that correct?"
Wang Tiancheng opened his eyes wide and asked in surprise, "How could the master see that?"
Henry Chu took out ten kilograms of black devil whale meat and threw it over, "These are enough for you to practice for a while."
Wang Tiancheng was shocked as he held the monster meat that exuded a strong bloody aura.
Needless to say, this must be the flesh and blood of a demon beast in the God Transformation Stage!
This host is far more generous than Song Tingfeng and Zhao Haijian!
"Well done, there will be another reward." Chu Xuan said lightly.
"Yes!" Wang Tiancheng nodded heavily.
I thought to myself that I had finally found a big and strong leg to hold onto.
As for the person who was being hunted by him seven years ago, he suddenly became his master.
He threw it out of the window on the spot.
Living is the truth.
What's the point of having enough face?
How much monster meat is a pound of face worth?
"The Black Bandits will become a small, smart, and capable group in the future, and those useless ones will be eliminated."
Henry Chu said lightly.
"clear!"
Chu Xuan recorded the "Tianxing Gong" and put all the corpses into the Tianshi Tower, then waved his hand.
"Let's go, it's time to leave this place."
"Yes!" Wang Tiancheng nodded.
Leaving the ruins of Tianxing Palace, there is an endless blue sea outside.
Chu Xuan released his spiritual sense without any hindrance.
Obviously, the strange fog did dissipate.
The thought of that strange fog that was so dangerous and almost impossible for anyone to escape from was so easily avoided by me.
Chu Xuan couldn't help but chuckle.
Wang Tiancheng followed him respectfully, and when he saw his smile, he shuddered.
I wondered if this gentleman was up to something bad again.
"Which force occupies Jinlei Island now?"
Henry Chu asked casually.
Wang Tiancheng said quickly, "The Heavenly Demon Palace, the Divine Sword Sect, and the Snake Buddha Temple all have them, and the various forces are separatist."
"I, the Black Bandits, also have two businesses here, but don't worry, they are openly run by two small forces."
"If you want to live on Jinlei Island, I can arrange it for you."
Henry Chu nodded, "It's too messy and not suitable for me."
Wang Tiancheng thought for a moment and said, "Golden Phoenix Island, to the north of Golden Thunder Island, is quite good. Now that it's occupied by the Divine Sword Sect, it's quite peaceful there."
Chu Xuan nodded, "Let's go to Golden Phoenix Island."
"You should keep a low profile for the time being and avoid showing up in public, otherwise you'll easily be targeted by the Treasure Alliance."
"The same goes for the Black Bandits. You need to exercise more restraint and be careful that no one can follow them to find you."
He paused, then continued, "Unless you find the secret to master it, no one can solve the problem."
"So, don't play tricks."
Wang Tiancheng nodded respectfully.
He naturally understood this principle.
If only Song Tingfeng was missing, the Treasure Alliance might not react much.
After all, Song Tingfeng had already been ostracized because of the disappearance of the Nine Yang Cauldron.
But now, it is true that three elders who have reached the level of Divine Transformation, Song Tingfeng, Song Ruzhen and Zhao Haijian, have disappeared at the same time.
The Rare Treasures Alliance will definitely send someone to investigate.
As the only survivor, Wang Tiancheng certainly cannot show up often, otherwise he will definitely be targeted by the Treasure Alliance.
The two parted ways.
Chu Xuan took out a flying boat, cut through the waves, flew over Jinlei Island, and headed straight for Jinfeng Island.
Wang Tiancheng also took out a flying boat and went in the opposite direction of Chu Xuan.
The black-clad thieves are a group of robbers who have always temporarily resided on various nameless deserted islands.
It was naturally impossible for him to leave with Chu Xuan.
…
Golden Phoenix Island.
Chu Xuan, like most ordinary cultivators, came to the port of this island.
The prosperity of this island's port is slightly inferior to that of Jinlei Island, but it is far superior to Nishang Island on the East Third Ring Road.
When those foundation-building cultivators who were waiting at the port like porters saw Chu Xuan getting off the boat, they all wanted to rush up.
However, when Henry Chu glanced at them, these people instinctively shrank back.
Because they sensed an extremely cold look in those eyes.
If they dare to offend such a great master, they will probably suffer the consequences.
Seeing that no one rushed forward to commit suicide, Chu Xuan nodded with satisfaction.
He put his hands behind his back and strolled around the Golden Phoenix Island.
He did not change his appearance and still used the identity of alchemist He Liang.
Now that he has become a Divine Transformation cultivator, there is no need to hide anything.
If you show off your skills too much, you will easily be attacked by a group and will also attract the gazes of those who are lurking in the darkness.
Properly displaying one's cultivation, neither too strong nor too weak, neither too high nor too low, is the key to survival in this shattered star sea.
"Wang Tiancheng is right. This Golden Phoenix Island is well-ordered, prosperous and wealthy. It is very suitable for me to concentrate on cultivation."
Walking along the way, seeing only lively scenes, Henry Chu couldn't help but nodded.
He also felt a little emotional.
Although the path of magic is the fastest way to improve oneself.
But for the vast majority of ordinary people and cultivators at a low level, having a force that upholds the righteous path above them is a great thing.
Even if this force only appears to be righteous.
After a while, Chu Xuan arrived at the Divine Sword Sect branch located on the highest peak of Jinfeng Island.
"Li Qingfeng died on Jinlei Island. Is Yun Feijian the only Divine Transformation cultivator left in the Divine Sword Sect now?"
Chu Xuan thought so, then strode into the branch hall.
The branch hall was built in a majestic manner, with a touch of sword spirit, which made people feel awe.
As soon as I stepped through the gate, I saw an old man with white hair and beard standing there with a sad face, neither knowing whether to go forward nor to retreat.
The old man whispered, "Could you please tell Master Sun that I will definitely repay the debt owed by my grandson Ning Wangyuan?"
"Please, Master Sun, show mercy and don't hurt him."
A cold voice came, "He borrowed a lot of spirit stones from Sixth Junior Brother to open a shop, and he can't pay it back, so he must be punished."
"But don't worry, Master is kind-hearted and won't hurt him."
"He is currently drawing the talisman. Once he pays off his debt, we will release him."
"If you can return these spirit stones in time, he can go back early."
The old man nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I will do it as soon as possible."
Chu Xuan took a closer look.
Isn't this Ning Tai, the old Gu Master from Xiao Chong Zhai?
Long time no see, but he is still alive.
Ning Tai was about to walk out of the Divine Sword Sect branch when he suddenly saw Chu Xuan.
Then he exclaimed in surprise, "Fellow Daoist He! It really is you!"
Chu Xuan smiled and nodded, "It's me, Fellow Daoist Ning. It's been a few years since we last met. I hope you are doing well."
Ning Tai took a few steps forward, looked Chu Xuan up and down, and marveled at him.
"We haven't seen each other for many years, more than eight years, right?"
"Last time, you went to Jinlei Island to participate in the Wanbao Conference with Fellow Daoist Ji Canghai without even saying hello."
"Later, I heard that something went wrong at the Wanbao Conference. I also heard that a great cultivator of the Divine Transformation Sect took action, and finally, even the strange fog appeared."
"I didn't expect you to be alive after going through so much! Good things really do come to good people!"
Chu Xuan laughed in silence.
The phrase "good things happen to good people" seems not quite right when used to describe him, but it also seems to be right.
Ning Tai asked, "What exactly has Fellow Daoist He experienced over the years? Could you please tell me about it?"
"My experiences over the past few years are hard to describe in a few words," Chu Xuan changed the subject and asked, "What happened to Fellow Daoist Ning?"
Ning Tai smiled bitterly and told him everything about Ning Wangyuan.
After listening to Chu Xuan, he shook his head.
Ning Wangyuan is really a person with unrealistic ambitions.
This person followed an old talisman master from Nishang Island to practice talismans, but he only learned a half-baked level and insisted on opening a shop to sell talismans.
Ning Tai disagreed, so Ning Wangyuan borrowed money from all over to open a shop.
The ending is predictable.
He is not proficient in the art of talismans but tries to open a shop, so he will naturally spend more than he earns.
In less than a month, not only did he fail to make back his investment, he also lost more than a hundred large spirit stones.
It's okay for other creditors, Ning Tai can use his thick skin to barely delay for a while.
But one of the creditors happened to be the grandson of a Divine Transformation cultivator.
And this Divine Transformation cultivator is none other than Master Sun Chensun, who recently joined the Divine Sword Sect.
This goes on and on.
Ning Wangyuan was captured and taken to the branch of the Divine Sword Sect, where he was locked up in a small dark room and forced to draw talismans day and night.
If you can't pay off your debts, you will never be able to get out and will become a complete slave to drawing talismans every day.
Hearing this, Henry Chu just sighed lightly without saying much.
He is too lazy to meddle in other people's affairs.
However, the old Gu Master Ning Tai is already old, and he is probably halfway to the grave.
Seeing that he still has to work so hard for his grandson, I feel a little sad.
"Who are you? No outsiders are allowed to enter the branch hall."
A faint voice came.
Chu Xuan looked at the person who came.
She was a woman with a graceful figure.
Both her appearance and figure are top-notch.
The only thing is that his lips are very thin, which seems to highlight his harsh character.
When Henry Chu looked at her, she was also looking at Henry Chu.
After looking him up and down a few times, he couldn't see any strong aura, and he had never seen such a face before.
You can tell at first glance that he is not an expert.
Chu Xuan said calmly, "The previous Divine Sword Sect didn't seem to have such rules."
The woman smiled faintly, "Now it is available, Master has made a new decision."
"If you can't explain your purpose, please leave."
Henry Chu casually threw a token over, "Oh? Then can I go in with this token?"
The woman glanced at the token and her expression changed several times.
In the end, he could only reluctantly lower his head and said, "Greetings, Elder Keqing."
"I didn't realize it was the elder's arrival. I'm sorry for not coming to greet you. I hope you'll forgive me."
Although she had just recently joined the Divine Sword Sect following her master, Master Sun, she knew that there were only a few guest elders in the Divine Sword Sect.
They are all outstanding among the Nascent Soul cultivators.
The fact that this person possesses this order means that his strength is far superior to hers.
In the path of cultivation, the one who achieves the most comes first.
Since the other party had given this order, she dared not disrespect it.
Chu Xuan said calmly, "I want a high-quality cave and a shop in the center of the town."
The woman was stunned and said with embarrassment, "Elder, only those who have reached the level of a Spiritual Transformation can live in a high-quality cave."
"Most of the shops in the center of Jinfeng Island are operating."
"There are only two remaining, and they have both paid deposits. I'm afraid I can't meet your requirements."
Ning Tai also whispered, "Fellow Daoist He, Jinfeng Island is not like Nishang Island. There are some Yuanying families here."
"In order to appease them and win them over, the Divine Sword Sect had no choice but to make concessions."
"Let alone you, a guest elder, I heard that even some of Fei Jian Zhenren's disciples can't get a good cave."
Henry Chu couldn't help but frown.
I originally wanted to use my identity as a guest elder of the Divine Sword Sect to save some money.
It seems that the identity of this guest elder is useless?
He wanted to turn around and leave.
Suddenly, two figures walked out from the pavilion in front.
One of them was very elegant, as if hiding a sharp sword. He was none other than Yun Feijian, the Flying Sword Master of the Divine Sword Sect.
The other person was tall and thin with a pale complexion. He should be Master Sun, the incarnation cultivator who recently joined the Divine Sword Sect.
The two of them walked and laughed, seeming to be in harmony.
"Hey, Cai'er, what happened?" Master Sun looked at the people blocking the door and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
The woman saluted hastily and quickly explained what had just happened.
Finally, he said in embarrassment, "Master, this guest elder asked for a first-class cave residence and a shop in the center of the town right from the start. I really can't handle it."
Yun Feijian stared at Chu Xuan for several times, and the more he looked, the more surprised he became.
He naturally still remembered the alchemist He Liang.
He had seen that the death of Yan Kun in the Blood Cloud Cave was most likely related to He Liang.
This is when he suddenly decided to give the position of guest elder to He Liang.
At first, Li Qingfeng strongly disagreed.
But he did it anyway.
Eight years ago, the Wanbao Conference on Jinlei Island caused a stir in the entire East Second Ring Road and East Third Ring Road.
He didn't care too much about He Liang's life or death.
After all, even several Jindan cultivators died, and Li Qingfeng also died.
He Liang was just a Nascent Soul cultivator, and since there was no news of him at all, it was natural that he died.
He really didn't expect that he could actually see this person with his own eyes!
And, for some reason, the more I looked at it, the more astonished I felt.
He had an instinctive intuition that He Liang today was far more powerful than before.
I'm afraid I've reached a higher level.
only...
There has been no divine calamity in the eastern sea area recently.
If a Nascent Soul cultivator had entered the path of Divine Transformation, it would have been known to many people long ago.
What is going on?
"Guest elder?" Sun Zhenren immediately looked at Yun Feijian, "Fellow Daoist Yun, this should be the guest elder you appointed earlier."
He looked at Chu Xuan and said casually, "As an elder, you should consider the sect's interests. Now that the sect is in a state of disrepair and needs to be rebuilt, the elders should set an example for the disciples..."
Yun Feijian interrupted Master Sun, looked at Chu Xuan, and suddenly said, "You... have entered the Spiritual Transformation Stage?"
Henry Chu smiled faintly.
Yun Feijian is indeed a man with good eyesight.
When he was still on Nishang Island, the Blood Cloud Cave raided Nishang Island and he had no choice but to kill Yan Kun.
Yun Feijian noticed something was wrong at that time, but he couldn't estimate his exact strength, so he gave him the position of guest elder as a token of goodwill.
Now I can actually sense that his aura has changed.
Master Sun was stunned when he heard this. "Ah? What did you say? Spiritual Transformation Stage? This person is in the Spiritual Transformation Stage?"
Ning Tai and the female cultivator named Cai'er were also extremely shocked and looked at Chu Xuan.
Yun Feijian ignored Master Sun and just looked into Chu Xuan's eyes.
Chu Xuan did not hide his incompetence. He looked into Yun Feijian's eyes and nodded slightly, "I am lucky to have set foot on the path of transformation."
After he finished speaking, he released a wisp of divine aura.
Sensing this aura, Yun Feijian was greatly amazed. He immediately clasped his fists and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Fellow Daoist He for entering the great path of Divine Transformation! From now on, Fellow Daoist He will be the third Divine Transformation Master of our Divine Sword Sect!"
Master Sun was stunned for a long time before he spoke, "Congratulations to Fellow Daoist He on his advancement to the Spiritual Transformation Stage..."
Ning Tai and Cai Er hurriedly bowed, "Greetings, Master He!"
Henry Chu smiled slightly, "No need to be polite."
Yun Feijian glanced at Ning Tai, then at Chu Xuan, and suddenly said, "I remember that Fellow Daoist He used to get along very well with Gu Master Ning."
Chu Xuan nodded, "Indeed, I was able to have a place in the Jinxiu Market of Nishang Island, thanks to Mr. Ning's arrangements for me."
Master Sun's expression changed slightly. After a moment's thought, he slapped his head and said, "Oh, so Ning Tai is actually a friend of Daoist He? This is like a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple."
He immediately ordered, "Cai'er, release Ning Wangyuan immediately. Don't ruin the harmony just for a few large spirit stones."
Cai'er nodded immediately, "Yes."
Ning Tai burst into tears of gratitude, "Thank you Master He! Thank you Master Sun!"
"Fellow Daoist He, how about we go into the cabinet and talk?" Yun Feijian said with a smile.
"sure."
The three of them walked quickly into the pavilion.
Ning Tai looked at Chu Xuan's figure and felt deeply moved.
I didn't expect that after more than eight years, He Liang has actually entered the Spirit Transformation Stage!
It was indeed a great choice for me to make friends with him in the first place.
Otherwise, relying solely on my own abilities, it would take an unknown amount of time to get Ning Wangyuan out.
"Thank you very much."
Ning Tai looked at Henry Chu's back, bowed deeply, and spoke in a low voice, extremely sincere.
The branch hall of the Divine Sword Sect is inside the pavilion.
On both sides are potted plants of different sizes.
Some are majestic and placed on the ground, while others are small and compact, placed on antique wooden stands.
There are also some gemstones and jades, all carved into the shapes of rare and exotic animals and placed throughout the pavilion.
It also makes the place look shrouded in precious light and full of spiritual energy.
Chu Xuan looked over and saw two rows of sandalwood chairs.
In the middle is a square table.
Above the square table is a magnificent landscape painting.
Yun Feijian and Master Sun came forward and sat on both sides of the square table.
Chu Xuan sat in the first seat on the left.
After the three of them sat down, Yun Feijian sighed, "When we parted ways a while ago, Fellow Daoist He went to Jinlei Island to participate in the Ten Thousand Treasures Conference. I thought you had perished, but I didn't expect that not only did you return, but you also entered the Spiritual Transformation Realm. This is truly a cause for celebration."
He also said this to Sun Zhenren who was standing beside him, so that Sun Zhenren would not be confused and not even know who this guest elder was.
Master Sun thought about it carefully and recalled the incident at the Wanbao Conference a few years ago.
"It was said that the Black-robed Bandits were behind the Wanbao Conference, and many Divine Transformation cultivators perished as a result."
"The strange fog that appeared later made things even more confusing."
"You, Daoist friend, were able to survive such a life-threatening situation and even reach a higher realm. You can tell at a glance that you are a person of great luck."
The two of them praised repeatedly and were generous with their compliments.
If it were any other cultivator, after being praised by two long-established Jindan cultivators, I'm afraid his tail would be lifted up to the sky in no time.
But as early as the Nascent Soul stage, Chu Xuan was already able to use his terrifying physical strength to attack and kill a great cultivator at close range.
To him, the two men's compliments went in one ear and out the other, and he didn't pay any attention to them.
But he still listened with a smile on his face.
After all, cultivating immortality is not just about fighting and killing, it also involves dealing with human relationships and worldly wisdom.
After the polite words, we really entered the stage of negotiating interests.
Chu Xuan, a newly promoted Divine Transformation cultivator, is naturally worthy of their winning over.
In this way, the Divine Sword Sect can barely compete with the Heavenly Demon Palace.
Instead of being suppressed by the Demon Palace like before.
The three of them talked back and forth and finally decided on Chu Xuan's treatment.
Chu Xuan serves as the Divine Sword Sect's Elder of Transformation.
The annual salary is two hundred great spirit stones.
Two low-grade talismans for the Spirit Transformation Stage.
A bottle of low-grade elixir for the Spirit Transformation Stage.
In addition, there is a first-class cave that can be used indefinitely and without rent.
A shop in the city center, which can be used indefinitely and without rent.
As for whether Chu Xuan wants to recruit disciples, it depends on his own thoughts.
If you are willing to accept it, then accept it. If you are not willing to accept it, then don't accept it. Don't force it.
Chu Xuan was quite satisfied.
The annual salary is a bit low.
Especially the two hundred great spirit stones, which require five years of accumulation to purchase a crude low-grade spirit weapon.
If you want to select the best among the lower-grade spiritual weapons, or ask someone to customize a lower-grade spiritual weapon for you, a thousand large spirit stones are far from enough.
However, he could understand why the Divine Sword Sect offered such an annual salary.
After all, the Divine Sword Sect is just a small Class C force in the Broken Star Sea.
How can we treat him like a Buddha and offer him good food and drink?
He also only planned to continue his cultivation with the help of the peaceful environment of the Divine Sword Sect.
If the Divine Sword Sect keeps expanding outward and fighting with this and that.
He turned and left without saying a word.
This was also one of the conditions he had just discussed with Yun Feijian and Master Sun.
"Fellow Daoist He, you have now reached the state of spiritual transformation. It's time to come up with a Taoist name." Yun Feijian said with a smile.
Chu Xuan thought for a moment, "Wuxin, let's call him Wuxin Zhenren."
Yun Feijian and Master Sun pondered over the name and nodded repeatedly.
Sun Zhenren directed outside, "Cai'er, lead the way to Wu Xin Zhenren. The shop under my name will belong to Wu Xin Zhenren from now on."
"Also, that Yunxiao Pavilion will become the cave abode of Master Wuxin in the future."
"You will take care of everything that happens next for Fellow Daoist Wuxin. You must serve this Immortal well!"
Cai'er's respectful voice came from outside, "Yes."
Sun Zhenren then smiled at Chu Xuan and said, "Daoist Wuxin, please come in."
Henry Chu smiled and nodded.
After Chu Xuan left, Master Sun looked at his back and then spoke.
"Fellow Daoist Yun, how did you know he had entered the Spiritual Transformation Stage? I couldn't even detect it."
Yun Feijian smiled and said, "Intuition, I felt that he was extraordinary before, and now it is even more amazing."
Master Sun nodded repeatedly, also full of emotion, "It really is the wave behind pushing the wave in front."
…
The other side.
Chu Xuan and Cai'er walked on the stone road down the mountain.
Cai'er lagged behind Chu Xuan by half a step and didn't dare to act rashly.
She was now feeling uneasy.
The scene when he just met Chu Xuan kept surging in his mind.
When I think about it carefully, my words seem to reveal a bit of contempt and arrogance.
She was really worried that this real senior would bear a grudge about this matter.
Henry Chu asked casually, "What's your name?"
Cai'er said respectfully, "Congratulations, Cai'er."
"How old are you? What realm are you in?"
"I'm four hundred and five this year, and I'm only at the Nascent Soul stage."
Speaking of this, Zhu Caier felt quite proud.
He became a Nascent Soul in just four hundred years, and he is a top-notch genius in the entire Shattered Star Sea.
Even those young talents in the first ring are only slightly stronger than her.
Henry Chu also nodded slightly.
He becomes a Nascent Soul at the age of four hundred.
No wonder Zhu Cai'er is so arrogant.
After a while.
Chu Xuan came to the center of Jinfengfang and saw the shop.
Zhu Caier said respectfully, "Senior Wuxin, what do you think of this shop? Just say the word and we can open for business tomorrow."
Just as Henry Chu was about to speak, he heard Ning Tai's voice.
"Greetings, Senior Master! My grandson is safe and sound today, all thanks to you!"
Ning Tai knelt on one knee with a respectful look.
Standing next to him was his grandson Ning Wangyuan.
Ning Wangyuan looked at Chu Xuan with eyes that still couldn't hide his astonishment.
"Hurry up and salute!" Ning Tai shouted.
"Yes, yes, yes." Ning Wangyuan knelt down hurriedly and lowered his head.
Henry Chu said casually, "Get up."
"Zhu Cai'er, go to Yunxiao Pavilion and wait for me."
Zhu Cai'er had originally planned to make her presence felt in front of Chu Xuan, perhaps they could become his real Taoist partner in the future.
Henry Chu's words immediately made her face stiff.
But since the real person had spoken, how could she dare to disobey? She could only bow and leave.
"Come, sit inside and talk."
Henry Chu smiled and pulled Ning Tai up.
The three of them entered the shop, and Henry Chu was about to sit down.
Ning Tai solemnly said, "Senior Master, please save my grandson. I, Ning Tai, and my Ning family will follow you for the rest of my life, even if it means death!"
Ning Wangyuan also quickly followed suit and expressed his loyalty, "I will not refuse even if I die!"
Henry Chu seemed to smile, but did not speak immediately.
He knew what Ning Tai was thinking.
When he returned to the Divine Sword Sect, he was the weakest among the three Divine Transformation cultivators in the Divine Sword Sect, so naturally he had to form his own team.
Ning Tai's words clearly showed that he intended to serve him.
However, in the Ning family alone, there are only two or three cats, big and small.
Too little, too little.
Just as Chu Xuan was about to speak, Ning Tai said, "After the news of your entry into the Spiritual Transformation Stage spread, a few more old guys contacted me and wanted to serve you and contribute their efforts."
"The Liu family of Peach Blossom Island, that old fellow Liu Yong, is the best at refining pills."
"The Song family on Qingfeng Island, Old Man Song is an expert in talismans. He was the one who taught my grandson how to make talismans."
"In addition, there are several Nascent Soul Gu Masters and their disciples that I know. After receiving the news, they all want to join your army."
Hearing this, Henry Chu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and laughed.
clever.
Communicating with smart people is easier.
Ning Tai knew very well that he had to form a team, and even the Ning family alone was not enough to make him interested.
So he immediately mobilized his own network of contacts.
Involve everyone you know.
The Liu family, the Song family, and those Gu Masters almost all followed the Divine Sword Sect to the East Second Ring Road to occupy territory.
But if they follow Yun Feijian or Master Sun, they will definitely be excluded by the families that originally belong to Yun Feijian and Master Sun, and naturally they will not be able to get enough benefits.
Now that there is a new immortal like Chu Xuan, they will of course flock over and respect Chu Xuan as their master.
The news from Ningtai further accelerated this process.
Henry Chu looked at Ning Tai with even more admiration.
People really become more sophisticated as they get older.
"Mr. Ning is thoughtful."
Chu Xuan immediately helped Ning Tai up.
When Ning Tai heard this, his heart immediately settled down.
He understood that the other party accepted him.
Next, Chu Xuan chatted with Ning Tai and Ning Wangyuan about family matters.
Seeing Chu Xuan drink a sip of tea, Ning Tai, a shrewd man, understood that Chu Xuan didn't want to continue the conversation.
He immediately stood up and said respectfully, "We, the grandfather and grandson, will not bother you any more."
"In a few days, I will bring the Liu family, the Song family, and those Gu Masters here together."
Henry Chu smiled and nodded, "Not bad."
…
Yunxiao Pavilion.
When Chu Xuan arrived here, Zhu Caier was already waiting at the gate of the cave.
Seeing Henry Chu approaching, Zhu Caier immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Master."
"The Yunxiao Pavilion has been cleaned up. As long as Senior needs it, he can move in directly."
She took out another token and presented it with both hands, "This is the forbidden token of Yunxiao Pavilion."
Henry Chu nodded, "Not bad."
He took the token and strode towards the cave.
Zhu Caier shouted, "Senior! If you have any requests, just tell me!"
But she saw Henry Chu had already walked in, obviously not hearing her voice.
Zhu Caier stamped her feet in embarrassment and anger.
I am so beautiful, but the real senior doesn't even look at me.
Could it be that I haven't done enough?
Inside the cave.
Henry Chu looked around and nodded slightly.
The decoration of Yunxiao Pavilion is very nice, and it is obvious that a lot of effort has been put into it.
Although the area is a bit small, it has everything.
There are training rooms, alchemy rooms, weapon refining rooms, talisman making rooms, and even a small insect breeding room.
Caves come in different sizes.
This Yunxiao Pavilion is just an ordinary small cave.
Most of the cultivators who live alone on an island will continue to expand their cave dwellings, making it into a small cave paradise.
Even the disciples would live there.
Chu Xuan did not regard Yunxiao Pavilion as a safe haven.
In his eyes, the real safe haven will always be Planet Aquamarine.
Afterwards, Chu Xuan spent some more time and set up more than a dozen formations as usual.
Make sure that your every move in Yunxiao Pavilion will not be known to outsiders.
Only then did I feel relieved.
"Golden Phoenix Island is very peaceful. The three Divine Transformation cultivators in the Divine Sword Sect, including me, don't have any major conflicts. We can all cultivate peacefully for the next period of time."
Henry Chu smiled slightly.
In addition, there are also immortal cultivation families such as the Ning family, the Liu family, and the Song family who have surrendered.
These families and industries will continuously produce large spirit stones and pay tribute to him according to a certain ratio.
This way, he wouldn't have to worry about earning spirit stones.
This is actually a two-way process.
The immortal cultivation family needs a supporter like him who is a great cultivator.
He also needed someone to handle chores for him and earn spirit stones for him.
Everyone gets what they need, so why not do it?
…
A few days later.
The newly renovated Chidanzhai officially opened.
Henry Chu casually took out some pills from his Qiankun bag, which was enough to meet his daily operations.
The newly recruited alchemists will naturally handle the outside affairs.
At this moment, in the inner room of Chidanzhai.
Ning Tai, Liu Yong, Song Danqing and others were waiting, feeling uneasy.
Surrounding these people are their most valued descendants, most of whom are at the Golden Core stage.
At this time, Chu Xuan had not yet entered the inner room, and they were already communicating in low voices.
Liu Yong asked in a low voice, "Old Ghost Ning, is this Master willing to talk?"
Song Danqing nodded, "Yes, you are telling the truth. We know very little about this real person, and you know much more."
Ning Tai smiled and said, "Why, if this Immortal is easy to talk to, you plan to lower the tribute ratio?"
Liu Yong and Song Danqing both smiled awkwardly.
Of course, what they were thinking about was paying tribute.
If the ruler is weak and the ministers are strong, the real person has to rely on them, so the proportion of their tribute can be less.
If this real person is very powerful, they will have to increase the tribute ratio.
Everything depends on the circumstances.
After all, no one is willing to give away the hard-earned spirit stones to others easily.
Even if Henry Chu is their backer.
Ning Tai said in a deep voice, "Seventy percent. My Ning family intends to pay seventy percent of the profits as tribute to the real person."
"What?!"
Liu Yong and Song Danqing were both stunned.
Seventy percent is too high!
Yun Feijian and Sun Zhenren are both cultivators in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and they only want 50% of the profits.
If these two enter the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, the immortal cultivation families under their command will also be very sensible and increase the proportion on their own to 60%.
If you two continue to improve with divine help, the tribute ratio will rise to 70%.
This Wuxin Zhenren is just a newly promoted god.
Why do we have to give him 70% right from the start?
"Is this master... so greedy?" Liu Yong couldn't help but say.
Ning Tai shook his head, "No, it wasn't the real person who asked for it, but I offered it on my own initiative."
Liu Yong was stunned and immediately cursed in a low voice, "Old Ghost Ning, you paid 70% of the tribute, what should we do?"
"If we also pay 70% tribute... we'll be losing money for at least the next 50 years!"
Song Danqing smiled bitterly, "Fellow Daoist Ning, this is too unkind of you. We have been friends for many years!"
Ning Tai said calmly, "I actually think 70% is not enough."
"It is precisely because the Immortal is a newly promoted God and is in need of Spirit Stones right now, that we should offer him more tributes, which would be a timely help."
"In the future, if the Master no longer lacks spirit stones, or if he reaches a higher realm, raising the tribute ratio will only be icing on the cake."
"People only care about helping those in need, but who would remember to add icing on the cake? You've all lived for nine hundred years, do you still need me to remind you of this?"
