Nine Dragon Valley Senses Qi, Mirror Jade

In the garden of the White Jade Palace on Penglai Immortal Island, White Deer Immortal was enjoying immortal wine and immortal fruit. Chen Renfeng sat beside her, thinking about miscellaneous matters.

At this moment, the world displayed in the water mirror showed Bingxue and Changqing sitting in a dense forest in Nine Dragon Valley, with Bi Xuzi taking care of them from a distance.

There were two small spirit gathering formations beside them, and the spiritual energy within a ten-mile radius was converging around them as the two sensed the spiritual energy.

White Deer Immortal looked at the thin spiritual energy in the mortal world and sighed, "It's so difficult for Bingxue and Changqing to sense energy. It's not as fast as Qing Shi and Bai Yu cultivating in the small world in their previous lives."

Hearing this, Chen Renfeng was startled. White Deer Immortal also knew about the small world? He thought about it and realized that since Great General's Nascent Soul and the Princess's Nascent Soul knew, White Deer Immortal must have told them. He was being a bit overly surprised.

After pondering, Chen Renfeng asked, "Immortal, where is the small world? Why don't you let Bingxue and Changqing cultivate there!"

White Deer Immortal casually replied, "Not for now. It's extremely difficult to obtain Karma Value in this mortal world. When their Karma Value reaches six hundred thousand, I'll give them the jade pendant. A day in the small world is probably equivalent to ten years of cultivation outside."

Hearing this, Chen Renfeng deliberately asked, "Immortal, the jade pendant contains a small world! Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"

White Deer Immortal, without any precautions, said indifferently, "What if I tell you? Only Changqing and Bingxue can enter this small world. Neither you nor I can enter, so what's the use."

"Why is that?" Chen Renfeng asked curiously.

"You wouldn't understand even if I told you. The small world recognizes its master. When Nüwa refined it, she took the original stone from the jade's Dharma body, of the same origin. I'm also curious what it looks like inside, but I can't get in," White Deer Immortal said.

Chen Renfeng was shocked. How did he get in? It seemed like his hand bled. Could it be that his blood was recognized by the jade pendant?

Chen Renfeng rarely encountered White Deer Immortal willing to talk, so he curiously asked, "Immortal, Bingxue and Changqing's previous lives were Qing Shi and Bai Yu. What is the origin of their Dharma body, jade stone?"

White Deer Immortal knew that Chen Tuan had compiled the Chart of Heavenly Karma, and Bingxue needed his help in this life's tribulation, so she might as well tell him.

"This pair of jade stones was originally a Pure Yang Stone that Empress Nüwa gave to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother infused it with Pure Yin Immortal Spiritual Power and nurtured it for ten thousand years, turning it into a Yin-Yang Stone."

"Later, it gained consciousness, and then it was sent to the mortal world to undergo tribulation. I don't know how much karma is involved."

"When Bingxue and Changqing ascend to become True Immortals, my mission will be complete, and I can safely pass the Nine Transformations Loose Immortal Tribulation."

White Deer Immortal said it very casually, but Chen Renfeng's heart was pounding. The origin of this pair of jade stones was so significant, and the stake for their ascension was White Deer Immortal's nine-thousand-year heavenly tribulation.

Chen Renfeng, putting on a shameless expression, asked, "Immortal, Bingxue and Changqing ascend, and you gain such great fortune. Then... I should get some benefits too, right!"

White Deer Immortal gave him a look and said disdainfully, "Who asks for rewards so openly? I'm in a good mood today, what do you want?"

Chen Renfeng quickly stood up and bowed, "Immortal, can you help me advance further and cultivate to Golden Immortal? I can't even pass through that dangerous barrier to the mortal world right now."

"Golden Immortal, you dare to ask. Do you know how much effort I spent to cultivate to the Golden Immortal body?" White Deer Immortal said unhappily.

Chen Renfeng secretly thought there was no hope and shook his head.

"White Crane, how old were you when you cultivated to Golden Immortal?" White Deer Immortal asked, pointing at White Crane.

Although White Crane was in its beast form and standing behind Chen Renfeng, its Primordial Spirit replied, "Twelve thousand years old!"

Chen Renfeng's eyes widened in disbelief. How many long rivers of time had these immortals endured?

"I am a thousand years younger than you, cultivating to Golden Immortal at eleven thousand years old. Chen Tuan, you are only a few hundred years old and already in the True Immortal Realm. Don't be so greedy!" Although White Deer Immortal's tone was not harsh, the warning was strong.

Chen Renfeng felt cold sweat breaking out on his back and remained silent.

White Deer Immortal felt she had been too harsh. Fearing he might not put in his full effort later, she offered a sweet incentive, "Chen Tuan, after Bingxue and Changqing successfully ascend this time, I will take your ninety-nine heavenly tribulations for you."

Chen Renfeng quickly bowed in thanks.

At this moment, in the world displayed in the water mirror, Bingxue and Changqing were gathering spiritual energy in Nine Dragon Valley, living their innocent and childhood sweethearts' days. White Deer Immortal watched and laughed heartily.

Seeing this, Chen Renfeng lied to White Deer Immortal, saying he needed to return to his cave mansion to retrieve some magical artifacts. White Deer Immortal, seeing that there was nothing important at the moment, let him go back.

Chen Renfeng rode the White Crane and disappeared into the garden of the White Jade Palace.

"White Crane Immortal, let's go to the mortal world!"

"No!"

"I'll give you ten High-Grade Spirit Stones!" Chen Renfeng was displeased. His own mount always asked for a riding fee.

"Immortal Elder, let's go to the market to buy some spirit wine and spirit fruit before going to the mortal world."

"Okay! I'll buy some for my two disciples too."

In the jade pendant's small world, the gate of the Siheyuan courtyard was pushed open. The formation set up by Chen Qing was triggered, and two puppets immediately struck a drum in the courtyard. The drum skin was made of fish skin.

Chen Qing and Bai Xue cautiously opened the door. In the middle of the courtyard, the Professor was already sitting on a stool in front of a stone table. On the stone table was a jar of wine and some fruits he had brought.

"Uncle Chen!"

"Professor!"

The Professor scanned them with his divine sense and laughed heartily, "You two are progressing so fast. You're almost at Grand Perfection in the Golden Core Stage."

"Uncle Chen, it feels like a dream. I wake up in the morning, and there's much more magic power in my Sea of Dantian. The spiritual energy here seems to pour into my body on its own," Bai Xue said doubtfully.

"Uncle Chen, me too. After eating the pills Bai Xue refined, it's like a torrential rain in my Sea of Dantian," Chen Qing also voiced his doubts.

The Professor nodded with satisfaction and invited them to sit down and talk.

He then opened the wine jar. Bai Xue went to the kitchen to get three bowls and poured three bowls.

The Professor raised his cup, and Bai Xue and Chen Qing followed suit.

"Let's have a drink first. You can live here in this small world with peace of mind. There will be no danger!" The Professor drank it all in one gulp, choking and coughing a few times from drinking too quickly.

Bai Xue and Chen Qing also drank the wine. Bai Xue couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Chen, have you received any new information!"

The Professor nodded. He told the two of them about the secrets of this small world within the jade pendant, which White Deer Immortal had revealed concerning Qing Shi and Bai Yu.

After hearing this, Bai Xue also began to ponder. She slowly said, "Uncle Chen, I've integrated the Princess's memories. After she took White Deer Immortal as her master, she would enter the small world within the jade pendant to cultivate for ten days every three years. She spent more time practicing combat techniques outside.

I'll demonstrate for you to see."

Seeing her stand up to demonstrate, the Professor quickly stopped her and said, "There's no rush for that. What else?"

"White Deer Immortal often told them, 'When you ascend, Donghua can be resurrected, and I can also evade the heavenly tribulation!'" Bai Xue said, recalling from memory.

"Donghua resurrected..." the Professor murmured, taking a sharp breath.

Seeing this, Chen Qing quickly added, "White Deer Immortal did indeed say that."

The Professor couldn't understand. He waved his hand and said, "You two focus on cultivating here. Don't worry about combat techniques, formations, or puppets for now. Gathering herbs, refining pills, and improving your cultivation by taking pills are the most important things."

Bai Xue and Chen Qing nodded.

The Professor stood up and said, "I need to go back. I must get to the bottom of the matter concerning Emperor Donghua. I'll visit you again when I have time!"
