Chapter VIII Conditions
The switch rotated three hundred and sixty degrees, and Chen Xuan looked at the woods in front of him with a smile, as if he was thinking about something.
"Boom!" the originally quiet grove immediately dispersed to both sides, revealing a dark passage.
And so it was!
Chen Xuan secretly thought in his heart that since the old man's voice came into Chen Xuan's mind, Chen Xuan knew that the old antiques of the Chu family were hidden. And the hiding place will definitely not be far from the Chu family, when Chu Dai brought himself to this courtyard just now, Chen Xuan faintly guessed that there must be a secret passage in the back mountain.
"Chen Xuan Daoyou, you can come in alone!"
The old man's voice came out of the passage, Chen Xuan didn't speak, just stepped out and walked towards the dark passage.
Leaving Chu Dai alone to wait in the back mountain, obviously, the Chu family was afraid of being discovered by others about the existence of the secret path, in their eyes, the powerhouses of the Linghai realm should not appear in the mortal world.
Although it is a secret passage, it is not narrow, and it is enough for three people to pass through in parallel. Moreover, there are still some torches in the cave that are lit from time to time, so Chen Xuan follows the lit torches and walks out quickly.
Walking out of the cave, Chen Xuan looked around, Chen Xuan found that there was not just one old man here, but three, one of which was an old man that Chen Xuan had seen in the conference hall, but left halfway.
The cave is very ordinary, surrounded by some smooth stone walls, in this huge cave, there is no luxury as Chen Xuan imagined, there are only a few stone futons, which are obviously used for cultivation.
Chen Xuan's face unconsciously showed a disappointed look, in Chen Xuan's mind, as the supreme ruler of the Chu family, the life of these old antiques should be very luxurious.
But the truth was beyond Chen Xuan's expectations, their lives were very simple, even much simpler than the ordinary Chu family.
"I'm surprised, isn't it!" The old man who transmitted the voice to Chen Xuan was called Chu Dong.
Chu Dong's cultivation is a five-star spiritual sea. When Chu Dong was young, he was a genius in Kunyang City like Zheng You, but he was not as lucky as Zheng You and was selected by those cultivators.
He later went to participate in the disciple selection of Meteor Valley and became a disciple of Meteor Valley, but because he couldn't stand the cultivation realm, he returned to the mortal world.
Chen Xuan nodded, as if he didn't understand why this group of principals of the Chu family would live so poorly.
"As a cultivator, we have to endure hardships, those luxurious lives, as long as we want, we can have them at any time, but at our age, everything has been looked down, we just want to improve our cultivation and strive to break through to the realm of earth evil, and increase our life expectancy to live a few more years!"
The cultivation realm is divided into four cultivation levels, namely Spirit Sea, Earth Evil, Tiangang, and Divine Transformation, and each level is divided into nine stars.
Chu Dong had a hint of gloom on his face, he was already one hundred and seventy-three years old, but his strength was a five-star in the Spirit Sea, and he was still five levels away from the Earth Demon Realm, and his lifespan was only a few decades away, so it was impossible to break through to the Earth Demon Realm in this life.
"The old man's name is Chu Dong," the old man quickly concealed his gloom and said with a smile, "This old man is Chu Luo, and this is my Taoist Li Hui." ”
"Chen Xuan has seen two seniors. Chen Xuan smiled and saluted Chu Luo and Li Hui.
"Chen Xuan Daoyou has seen the outside. The two smiled, but they were a little happy in their hearts, and their good impression of Chen Xuan couldn't help but increase a lot.
"Fellow Daoist Chen Xuan, let's talk about business!" Chu Dong's heart was quite surprised, he didn't expect Chen Xuan to salute Chu Luo and Chu Hui.
After all, Chen Xuan was only sixteen years old now, and his strength had already reached the second star of Linghai, so they knew that Chen Xuan's realm would definitely be higher than them in the future.
Therefore, even if Chen Xuan didn't salute, they were embarrassed to say anything. But Chen Xuan's salute was enough for them to increase their favor for Chen Xuan.
"I can agree to your request on behalf of the Chu family," Chu Dong smiled and said, "But!"
Chen Xuan knew that there was no free lunch in the world, so he smiled and asked, "But what?"
Chen Xuan's voice was very faint, obviously he had expected this situation to occur for a long time.
"I need you to help the Chu family solve this crisis. When Chu Dong said this, there was a trace of bitterness on his face.
It has to be said that it is a great irony that a dignified five-star powerhouse in the Linghai Sea wants to obtain the help of others with the freedom of a woman, and this woman is still from her own family.
"Could it be that the Chu family has three Spirit Sea realm powerhouses who can't fight the Zheng family?" Chen Xuan asked with some doubts, "If you can't, then what can I do to save your Chu family." ”
"If it is the original Zheng family, we are naturally not afraid," how could Chu Dong easily admit that he was inferior to the Zheng family, "but the current Zheng family has one more Zheng You." ”
The Chu family, like the Zheng family, originally had three powerhouses in the Linghai realm, but this time Zheng You's return broke this equilibrium, so Chu Dong thought of exchanging Chu Fang's freedom for Chen Xuan's help.
"Why don't you unite with the Yang family?"
Chen Xuan felt that the fight between the Chu family and the Zheng family, no matter which side won, it would be unfavorable for the Yang family. Therefore, the Yang family should choose to unite with the weaker side.
"Maybe it used to be, but not now. Chu Dong also thought about using this method, but when Chu Dai went to negotiate with the Yang family, the Yang family didn't even see the face of the head of the Yang family.
At this time, Chen Xuan remembered Yantianmen, this time the Yang family refused to cooperate with the Chu family, thinking that he was afraid of the blow of arriving at Yantianmen early in the future.
You must know that the names of the three major families in Kunyang City are good, but for a sect like Yantianmen, which is a sect in the cultivation realm, it is just a small grasshopper, and it is trampled to death at once.
"How can I help you?" Chen Xuan knew that if he wanted to repay the favor, he had to agree, and although Chen Xuan didn't have much affection for the Chu family, this was Chu Fang's family after all.
"You just need to help us stop Zheng You. Chu Dong smiled and said, a little happy in his heart, they knew that if Chen Xuan refused to help the Chu family, maybe the Chu family would really disappear from this world, "Leave the rest to us." ”
"Yes," Chen Xuan nodded and agreed to Chu Dong's request, "But I need your help." ”
Chen Xuan's strength has reached the second star of the Spirit Sea, but he has not learned any spiritual skills, which will inevitably fall behind when stopping Zheng You.
Spiritual skills are skills that monks can only cultivate in order to reach the realm of spiritual sea, which can make monks more powerful and use spiritual power more freely.
"What kind of request," Chu Dong smiled and said, "As long as we can do it, you can mention it!"
The current Chu family has reached the point of life and death, and Chu Dong naturally does not dare to say no easily, after all, Chen Xuan can be said to be the lifesaver of the Chu family.
"I need some psionic skills. Chen Xuan's tone was very flat, as if all this was as it should be.
"Yes, you are cultivating the fire attribute," Chu Dong smiled and said, "It just so happens that I also cultivate the fire attribute, you can take these three jade slips!"
Chen Xuan only used fire attribute spiritual power in the council hall, so Chu Dong mistakenly thought that Chen Xuan only cultivated fire attribute.
However, Chen Xuan did not refute, he didn't want to completely expose his strength in front of others, and now, other attributes are his hole cards.
Chu Dong threw Chen Xuan three jade slips without even blinking his eyes, and it seemed that the spiritual skills among the three jade slips were not very good.
However, Chen Xuan didn't care, in his opinion, it was better to have spiritual skills than nothing, and it was better to only release the basic spiritual power.
Chen Xuan's hand grabbed the three jade slips with a slight movement, and his face was still calm, as if nothing had happened.
But he had already scolded in his heart, just now when Chu Dong threw the jade slip to Chen Xuan, he injected a lot of spiritual power, just now Chen Xuan felt the huge power in it, and that spiritual power made Chen Xuan still feel numb in his palms!
"Is there anything else?" Although Chen Xuan was a little unhappy in his heart, he still smiled at the three old antiques on the surface, "If it's okay, I'll leave first." ”
Zheng You is coming back, Chen Xuan doesn't have so much time to talk to the three old antiques here, otherwise when the Zheng family comes to the door, he hasn't learned a single trick, and Chen Xuan doesn't know how to fight Zheng You.
Chu Dong's heart was a little surprised, he used all his strength just now to give Chen Xuan a dismount, but he didn't expect Chen Xuan to take this move quietly.
This made Chen Chudong, who originally wanted to test Chen Xuan's true strength, a little disappointed in his heart.
Even when Chu Luo and Li Hui looked at Chu Dong, there was a trace of complaint on their faces, as if they were really accusing Chu Dong of underestimating the enemy, but Chu Dong was now dumb and couldn't say what was going on, after all, Chen Xuan hadn't left yet.
"Nothing important!" Chu Dong smiled, as if he hadn't done anything just now.
"Then I'll go first!" Chen Xuan smiled and walked towards the dark passage, leaving the cave.
"How did you test that kid's strength just now?" Chu Luo looked at Chu Dong and asked a little strangely, in his opinion, Chen Xuan's current cultivation is a two-star Linghai star, and it is impossible for Chu Dong to be Chu Dong's opponent no matter what.
"I just used all my strength!"
Chu Dong himself didn't understand why Chen Xuan could block his temptation. You must know that you are a five-star powerhouse in the Linghai Sea, but Chen Xuan is only a powerhouse in the Linghai two-star. The strength of the two is three realms apart.
Even if this matter is said, those monks may not believe that a strong man with two stars in the Spirit Sea can actually block the attack of a strong man with five stars in the Spirit Sea.
"Are you a child for us?" Chu Luo and Li Hui both looked at Chu Dong a little angrily, as if they were accusing Chu Dong of treating them as children, but they didn't think that Chu Dong was telling the truth.
For a moment, the three of them fell into an argument in this peaceful cave.
