Three Letters, a False Alarm

"So fast!"

Sun Haoqi watched Xiao Chen's figure quickly disappear into the sky, and couldn't help but exclaimed again.

"Yeah, I really didn't expect that this Senior Xiao would be so Divine Ability."

Sun Haoran sighed with emotion, and then said with a pointed sigh, "Father is right, it is better to be kind to others when you are away from home."

"If Daoist Xiao hadn't come to help this time..."

But when he was halfway through speaking, his expression suddenly straightened, he changed the subject, and changed his words and warned, "You have all heard what Senior Xiao just said."

"The grace of saving lives should be engraved in our hearts."

"But since Senior Xiao doesn't want to be known, you must remember not to leak what happened today in the future."

"Even if Wang Family comes to visit me in the end, just blame it on me."

Sun Haoqi immediately nodded vigorously. "What the second brother said is absolutely true, I will remember it."

She was secretly glad that her second brother had taken out the secret family map and provided the correct location for Senior Xiao.

As a result, they formed a good relationship and saved their lives.

Sun Haoze heard this, but his cheeks immediately turned red, and he hurriedly echoed, "Me too."

When he heard the phrase 'be kind to others', he immediately remembered all his ridiculous thoughts before.

I couldn't help but feel a sense of fear in my heart.

Fortunately, they did not provoke Senior Xiao at that time, otherwise they would have suffered first before Wang Family could take action.

The same words made both of them deeply moved.

The three of them then returned to the boat to adjust their breath and recover, then got up and escorted Secret Manual back to the island where Lineage was located.

But these follow-ups have nothing to do with Xiao Chen.

He flew twenty thousand miles south, found a Desolate Island as a place to stay, and began to refine the Storage Ring he had just obtained.

"Oh, it's really a huge offer of money and inducement."

After some counting, Xiao Chen discovered that the total Storage Ring belonging to the Wang Family and the other three people only amounted to more than 116,000 Spirit Stone.

But in the hands of those three Bandit Cultivator, there were more than 437,000 Spirit Stone, and 300,000 of them were arranged orderly in dozens of large boxes.

However, Bandit Cultivator is only more numerous than Spirit Stone.

Excluding the four pieces of Spirit Artifact that were damaged in the battle, the three of them together only had three pieces of intact Spirit Artifact left.

Spirit Artifact, the remaining six pieces of the Wang Family, are completely incomparable in terms of quantity and quality.

In addition, it can be seen from other places that these Bandit Cultivators have nothing good in their hands.

A few ordinary Talisman, two bottles of ordinary elixirs, and some scattered sundries.

It is completely inferior to the Wang Family. I have more than ten pieces of Talisman in various colors. I have also prepared six kinds of elixirs with different effects, a total of sixteen bottles.

There is also a jade bottle with a unique shape, which can be seen at a glance to be different from the other elixirs.

Xiao Chen immediately opened it and inspected it. "Hey, I actually prepared a Youth Preservation Pill."

He had seen related albums before and heard that this thing could sell for 20,000 Spirit Stone each, but this was the first time he saw the real thing.

After taking it out and observing it carefully, he planned to collect this Youth Preservation Pill to Sundries Ring.

Now Xiao Chen has three Storage Ring.

Vast Sea Ring contains the most commonly used and important spiritual objects.

The previously seized Sundries Ring was intentionally kept inside that I would not use, and I planned to get rid of the sundries replaced by Spirit Stone when I found an opportunity.

There is another one specially reserved for holding Witch Artifact.

"How about keeping this one and not selling it?"

Just added Youth Preservation Pill to Sundries Ring, Xiao Chen suddenly remembered Su Li, it seems that this thing can also be given to her as a gift.

So he moved it again and included it in Vast Sea Ring.

The three Wang Family did not carry Secret Manual. Instead, the three Bandit Cultivator carried a local codex of Law Technique.

Xiao Chen took a cursory look at it and found it was a book Poison Manual with scrawled handwriting.

Add one for sundries.

In addition, there are a total of seven Formation Flag, three letters, one scroll, and one Spirit Accumulating Treasure Box.

Although I watched Initial Understanding of Array Dao before, I have a little knowledge of the battle method.

But after all, that is just entry-level knowledge, and the content is still limited.

Therefore, little is known about Formation Flag and Xiao Chen. We can only tell that these Formation Flag should be part of a large formation.

Six of the seven sides of Formation Flag are bright in color and radiant. It seems that they were newly refined not long ago.

Only one side is dull in color and has some signs of wear on the surface. It looks like it has been used for many years.

It is reasonable to speculate that this should be Formation Flag specially customized by the Wang Family. Now that they are all lost, it is estimated that it will directly affect the operation of the array.

But that has nothing to do with Xiao Chen.

He just regretted that such a customized Formation Flag was not a complete set, so he was afraid that it would be difficult to sell.

So I picked up the letter and prepared to see if there were any clues.

The first letter is a greeting from Elder, a certain Illuminating Void Sect, addressed to Wang Family Patriarch.

The letter was unfolded and the handwriting on it was neat and polite. There was nothing important about it.

However, from Xiao Chen's words, it can be seen that the other party seems to be wooing Wang Family, wanting to 'have a good time over wine' and 'have a good interview'.

It can be inferred from this that Wang Family should be a certain Hidden Family, and has a certain relationship with the Illuminating Void Sect.

It looks like the background is pretty good, maybe Wang Family also has Nascent Soul Ancestor.

But it doesn't matter. First of all, this matter should be kept confidential.

Secondly, it won't take long for Xiao Chen to start breaking through Nascent Soul.

If everything goes well, wait three to five years, and he can try to hit the Nascent Soul True Lord realm.

Even if the news eventually leaks, don't worry, it will just be one more enemy of Nascent Soul True Lord.

As the saying goes, if there are too many lice, don't bite them; if there are too many debts, don't worry.

To be honest, Xiao Chen has offended more than one or two Nascent Soul True Lord, so it doesn't matter if one more is added.

The second letter is the receipt given by Lotus Flower Temple.

The letter stated that Formation Flag, part of Auspicious Crane Illusion Light Formation that Wang Family entrusted them to refine, has been completed.

He also mentioned that a certain Golden Body Arhat of his own had been studying the category Illusion Light Formation recently and needed to refine different Formation Flag to confirm his insights.

If Wang Family needs to customize the other half of Formation Flag, it can be discounted by 30% off the original price, which is equivalent to half price.

This message is valid for three years and we look forward to working together again.

Xiao Chen has also heard of Lotus Flower Temple before, which is famous for customizing various Formation Flag and array disks.

On the Buddhist side, Third Tier Cultivator, which is equivalent to Golden Core True Person, is called Golden Body Arhat.

Speaking of which, he had previously obtained a piece of Jade Bone from Golden Body Arhat, from which he obtained a trace of Gold Essence and embarked on the journey of Body Refining.

I just didn't expect that Eastern Domain and Buddhist Sect are actually far away from the Compassion Sea.

So to this day, Xiao Chen has only heard about it and has never really seen Buddhism.

Looking at it this way, it was definitely a coincidence that he was able to obtain the jade bone in Lizhou.

Of course, having said that, even if there is no Jade Bone, there will not be many obstacles with Hextech Buff and Body Refining, it is just a slower start.

The third letter was more special, it actually contained an invitation letter.

Xiao Chen opened it and took a look, and was immediately attracted by the four big characters - Nascent Soul Ceremony!

Huh?

Why did someone break through Nascent Soul again?

.

You know, even in Eastern Domain, the quantity of Nascent Soul True Lord is quite limited.

On weekdays, it seems that there is no shortage of Great Powers and Nascent Soul True Lord taking charge, and the total number seems to be quite a lot.

But in fact, there is actually a very important internal reason behind this - Nascent Soul True Lord's Lifespan lasts for thousands of years!

Compared with the upper limit of Lifespan which is Golden Core True Person for five hundred years, the maximum limit of Nascent Soul True Lord is directly doubled.

In other words, it seems that every major force has more than one Nascent Soul True Lord.

That's all accumulated over a long period of time.

If you calculate it evenly based on time, it will basically take about three to four hundred years or more to train a Nascent Soul True Lord.

Many times there is even a risk of being discontinued.

Even if we add those Grand Elder who have been in seclusion for hundreds of years and whose life or death is uncertain; some casual cultivators who have adventures in their hands and are burdened with Fortune, as well as some Hidden Family who have inherited a long history.

The overall number of Nascent Soul True Lord is still not that much.

Under such circumstances, Xiao Chen was naturally a little surprised when he looked at the Nascent Soul Ceremony invitation letter in his hand.

If nothing else, this will be absolutely big news in the next period of time.

He immediately read the contents of the invitation letter in his hand carefully and learned that Nascent Soul True Lord, who was successfully promoted this time, came from an unfamiliar name - Esteem Truth Temple.

"Hey, which force is this?"

Before this, Xiao Chen had never heard of the name of this sect.

He continued to look down and found that this was actually another High Antiquity sect that had been hidden on the island until a few months ago.

"What exactly is going on?"

Xiao Chen felt more and more strange in his heart. "Why are these hidden sects all becoming active one after another?"

But he didn't hear that anything important happened.

Considering the abnormal behavior of so many forces, it can be completely ruled out as a chance factor.

So there is a high probability that there is some secret news that has been circulated at a certain level.

It's just that monks whose cultivation level is lower than Nascent Soul True Lord cannot reach it.

Although it sounds a bit outrageous, Xiao Chen has seen many similar situations on Ancient Books.

On such matters, all parties seem to have a silent understanding.

A lot of key information is unknown to the low-level and even middle-level monks until the last moment.

"Purple Sun True Monarch?"

Xiao Chen thought about it for a while, "This Dharma Name sounds like a Fire Spiritual Root monk?"

However, from this word alone, it is difficult to tell what the other party is good at.

He did not dwell on this and continued reading, "It is planned to be on the ninth day of March. Southern Marsh Sea Spirit Spring Island welcomes our distinguished guests."

Southern Marsh Sea is located south of Compassion Sea Region.

From the Azure Sea to the east is Listening Wave Sea, and further east is Southern Marsh Sea.

"Well, this time is quite tense."

Xiao Chen By calculation, today is already the 16th day of the twelfth lunar month, and there are less than four months until March 9th.

You know, many forces still need to coordinate the manpower to participate in the ceremony, and they have to travel in the middle.

It can be said that this arrangement is obviously a little anxious, and I don't know what the reason is.

Hey, Fifteenth Day of the Twelfth Lunar Month!

It's not that I didn't know. After doing the math, Xiao Chen suddenly realized that the Chinese New Year is coming soon.

Hiss~!

If calculated based on my current position, I shouldn't be able to go back before the Chinese New Year Secluded Doom Island.

I'm afraid I'll have to spend this year on the road again.

Since becoming Golden Core True Person, Xiao Chen feels that his time has become faster and less time-consuming.

Just do something casually, days or even a month will pass by, and a year will fly by in a daze.

"When you pass by Azure Sea Market, let's go shopping for a day and buy something to eat."

Xiao Chen calculated the time and decided to take a day to relax.

However, after thinking about it, it seemed that it would not be a good idea to go to Azure Sea Market and it would be relatively late. It would be better to go to the Ink Barrier Sect before the Chinese New Year.

"It's a pity that this invitation letter still has a signature."

Xiao Chen shook his head, and Spirit Fire immediately poured out of his hand and burned it to ashes.

He probably didn't receive the invitation, and he probably won't be able to go by then.

But that's not necessarily the case. There may be other situations.

Forget it, it's better not to worry about whether these are present or not, and just look at what the other two things are.

He opened the scroll first.

What caught Xiao Chen's eyes was a picture of <Thunder Shakes Mountains and Rivers Painting>, which was outlined in thick ink with thunder crashing down from the clouds, as if it was about to split the sky and the earth.

Just looking at the scroll in his hand, a thunderous sound of "rumbling" seemed to ring in his ears.

"It's still a Divinity Painting!"

Xiao Chen immediately realized that this picture should be a treasure used to help Wang Ruiyang understand Thunder Method.

Not to mention, after realizing this, I looked at the picture again, and sure enough, the thunder in it looked very familiar.

This is good stuff.

Although Xiao Chen himself does not practice Thunder Method, this Divinity Painting is extremely valuable to Lightning Cultivator.

If you put it up for auction, it won't be difficult to get a good price.

The last one is Spirit Accumulating Treasure Box.

It does not come from the Wang Family, but from one of them, Bandit Cultivator.

Therefore, Xiao Chen did not have any expectations at the beginning and directly opened the box to check.

"Ah, no, this is Pill Formula?"

To his surprise, he actually saw a complete fourth-order Pill Formula inside.

Its name is--Gold Sand Tempering Spirit Pill.

It can help users greatly increase Spiritual Sense Strength, and slightly improve the toughness of Divine Sense to resist some minor effects.

The most critical thing is that the Pill Formula is recorded in a Golden Booklet.

Judging from the ancient description method, Xiao Chen conservatively estimates that this Pill Formula should have existed for more than 100,000 years, or even several times more.

This means that it is likely to come from some ruins.

There is a high probability that it has been lost to the outside world.

Whether you take it out and sell it, or keep it for yourself as Exclusive Secret Recipe, it is a very good choice.

Or use it on Trade Fair, which should also be a good and powerful bargaining chip.

"Good stuff!"

Xiao Chen included this Pill Formula in Vast Sea Ring: "Put it away first and inquire about the situation. I hope it is a lost secret recipe."

After handling these things, he continued to hold the moon wheel and returned to Secluded Doom Island.

"Hu~wash~"

The biting north wind whistled across the sea and sky, blowing the snowflakes like catkins and circling back and forth between the sky and the earth, forming countless snow tornadoes.

The original sea surface was almost frozen with ice several feet thick.

Some of the ice layers are squeezing each other and bulging, glowing with a bluish-white cold light. From a distance, they look like Ice and Snow Mountain Range appearing out of thin air.

Xiao Chen estimated based on his own escape speed that the area covered by heavy snow had expanded by more than three thousand miles compared to a month ago.

There was even a large wave of Cold Current coming from the west, making him feel a rare chill.

"What exactly is going on in the west?"

Xiao Chen stood in the ice and snow, feeling a little more curious in his heart.

This Heaven and Earth Phenomenon has such a large impact and has lasted for such a long time. I don't know whether the result will be good or bad.

Thinking on the bright side, it might be a sign that a certain Ancient Ruins is about to be born.

Thinking at the worst, it might be a sign that some kind of super disaster is brewing.

.

However, Xiao Chen does not intend to go there and see it in person to satisfy his desire for exploration.

After all, investigating Heaven and Earth Phenomenon is something that only Nascent Soul Cultivator should do.

As the saying goes, if the sky falls, a tall person will have to hold it up.

There is no need for him to Golden Core cultivator run away and take risks.

"Boom~!"

However, halfway through the journey, Xiao Chen heard a dull and powerful loud noise coming from an extremely distant place in the west.

It took at least two quarters of an hour before a belated wave of Spiritual Energy Tide, which had declined to normal intensity, swept across his location.

This means that the source of Spiritual Energy Tide is at least thousands of miles away.

Huh?

Xiao Chen looked at the west again, feeling surprised.

Why is there still Spiritual Energy Tide?

If he went there now, he wouldn't be able to see someone fighting, right?

Hiss~, if you really have to encounter that kind of situation, what level of cultivation do you need to cause such an exaggerated movement?

"But this is the wrong time, isn't it?"

Xiao Chen frowned slightly, after all, there has been heavy snow covering thousands of miles here since more than a month ago.

Unable to figure it out, he simply didn't think much about it and instead accelerated his speed to leave the area.

"Woo~ang~!"

A cry that seemed to come from ancient times suddenly resounded throughout the world.

The most important thing is that this cry also comes from the west, and it doesn't sound like it is very far away.

Xiao Chen silently activated his escape technique and fine-tuned his direction, wanting to get away from here as soon as possible.

"Ang~!"

However, before he could leave, there was another strong response.

And this time the sound came from the east, and more importantly, it sounded less than two hundred miles away.

Xiao Chen immediately turned around to look back, but looking around, the sky and the earth were filled with white wind and snow.

It is impossible to see clearly even a few miles away, let alone a hundred miles away.

Use Spiritual Sense Probe?

This thought flashed through Xiao Chen's mind, and he subconsciously wanted to mobilize Divine Sense to observe the surrounding situation.

But he thought about it carefully and gave up the idea.

If you use Divine Sense rashly, you may not be able to detect anything, but it will most likely reveal your location.

Therefore, he quickly switched to urging <Profound Sect Harmonious Modulation Secret Art> to cover his whereabouts to prevent the other party from using Spiritual Sense Probe here.

Although this Third-tier Technique may not be useful, it is better to do your best and obey fate than to do nothing.

The white wind and snow were both an obstacle and a natural barrier for him.

As long as Xiao Chen doesn't reveal his location, the other party won't be able to see him with their eyes.

After a while, he suddenly felt a powerful pressure belonging to Nascent Soul Demonic Beast coming from behind him.

This coercion quickly passed by and headed towards the west, which is the direction from which the cold wind blew.

It seems that the other person just happened to be passing by and didn't notice him, or maybe he noticed him but didn't stop for him.

"Phew, it was a false alarm, nothing happened."

Although in fact, there should be a major event here, and it can be confirmed that at least two Nascent Soul Demonic Beast events are involved.

But since Xiao Chen himself is not involved, it means nothing happened to him, at least for the time being.

As for whether it will have any impact in the future, that needs to be discussed later.

As the saying goes, if the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up.

"Peng~!"

A cloud of sparks exploded on the spot, and Xiao Chen left here as quickly as possible.

It didn't take long to get through the wind and snow, and continued on the road without stopping at all. For three days and three nights, there was almost no rest except to restore the true energy.

Until a safe enough distance is established.

Then I found a Desolate Island, lay down in the Defensive Formation and had a good sleep.

On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Xiao Chen successfully arrived at Ink Barrier Peak.

Looking from a distance, Main Peak has been decorated with lights and colorful lights, and the red area is full of festive colors.

Even in the surrounding mountains, whether there are people or no people, Sword Light shuttles to the top and sets up customized giant lanterns one after another.

Even in broad daylight, this scene still looks prosperous and lively.

If it comes at night, this spectacular scene must be clearly visible within a radius of a hundred miles.

"Foundation Establishment Cultivator is used to do this kind of work, it's really a luxury."

Xiao Chen sighed, even if Southern Domain had to do such a thing, it would definitely be done by Qi Refining disciples hiking the mountain.

But here are Eastern Domain and Foundation Establishment Cultivator, which are more numerous, so naturally they are not so valuable.

Judging from the clothing and appearance, Foundation Establishment also seems to be in the category of inner disciple.

At least among these people flying around hanging lanterns, there is not even one True Disciple.

Three hundred miles southeast from Ink Barrier Peak, you will arrive at Ink Stone Market.

Next to it is Ink Stone Spirit Mine, hence the name.

With the intentional support of the sect, this place has become the largest market in the Ink Barrier Sect.

"Tsk, isn't it too conspicuous to wear a moon wheel?"

Xiao Chen thought about it and did not enter Fangshi directly, but landed in a ravine outside Fangshi.

Place Crystal Moon Wheel in a wasteland and deploy Returning Goose Formation as a defense.

Portable Array Plate is good in this regard. It can be driven by Spirit Stone and can run completely by itself. It doesn't matter even if there is no one to watch it.

Then Xiao Chen came to Fangshi with peace of mind, ready to take a leisurely stroll and relax for a day.

By the way, buy some new year goods to try and celebrate the New Year one day early.

Today's Ink Stone Market is particularly lively. The streets are crowded with people and bustling with people.

A few of the monks are still wearing Ink Barrier Sect Disciple Magic Robe, but most of the monks are wearing ordinary clothes.

On the outskirts of Fangshi, a handful of shops have closed their doors and pasted them with the word "" in red.

But the rest of the shops were reluctant to take advantage of such a lively event, and instead took the opportunity to open their doors to welcome customers.

There are even many shops that specially arrange for waiters to stand at the door and shout to attract customers.
