Persuading the Lord to Settle Sect Matters, the Yellow Immortal's Craving is Hard to Restrain

Chen Duan waved his hand dismissively, not caring at all.

He had found a large wooden box from somewhere and carried it on his back, seemingly filled with something.

Qi Baorui's eyes flickered slightly, but he tacitly refrained from asking further questions.

Having interacted for this long, he had long understood Chen Duan's character.

"Let's go out and talk," Qi Baorui said in a low voice.

"Okay," Chen Duan nodded.

Qi Baorui instructed a few people to stay and clean up the mess, then walked out of the courtyard with Chen Duan.

The disciples left behind looked at the tragic scene before them, their hearts filled with dread. They could hardly imagine what kind of brutal battle had erupted here just moments ago.

Outside the courtyard.

Qi Baorui didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point.

"Chen Duan, you should leave the Yuanxiang Sect immediately."

Since Chen Duan had no intention of staying in the sect long-term, there was no need for him to board a ship like the Yuanxiang Sect, which might capsize at any moment.

Although Chen Duan was a master of the Five Levels, possessing great strength.

He wasn't enough to turn the tide of the impending catastrophe for the sect.

Masters of "Break Apex" were the biggest variable in this upheaval.

Otherwise, why would Xia Jingtian, Yan Cong, and others risk everything to attempt the "Evil Cultivation" of "Break Apex"?

Although he understood that Chen Duan's help would be a great asset in the coming storm.

He couldn't bring himself to do it when he thought of Qian Changchun's entrustment.

Qian Changchun's original intention was for Chen Duan to practice martial arts here peacefully and enjoy the sect's protection. Now, he was being asked to become a pillar supporting the sect. What kind of situation was this!

This made Qi Baorui uneasy.

"On this matter alone, you must listen to me! Don't argue with me! If anything happens to you, I, Qi Baorui, will have no face to meet your Master!"

Although Chen Duan had the record of killing two masters of the Five Levels, the Martial Alliance Meeting tomorrow would have wolves circling, and it wouldn't be a matter of just one or two masters of the Five Levels.

Given Chen Duan's personality, such an outstanding prodigy would surely become a target.

Chen Duan, upon hearing this, pointed to the courtyard and chuckled:

"Steward Qi, isn't that a bit unfair? I just helped you solve such a big problem, and now you're kicking me out?"

Qi Baorui seemed to have expected him to say this. He looked around to confirm no one was nearby, then quietly took out two booklets from his embrace and stuffed them into Chen Duan's hands.

"These are the secret manuals for the Water Element Art and the Fire Element Art, enough for you to train to the Five Levels. Don't even think about the Earth Element Art and the Gold Element Art; three cultivation methods are more than enough for you.

Moreover, according to the legends passed down by our founding ancestor, the Hongyuan Five Elements are originally one, all originating from the same source.

As long as any one of the elements is cultivated to the highest realm, the Five Elements will sense each other, merge, and allow one to glimpse the true meaning of the Hongyuan Great Dao."

Of course, whether this rumor was true or not remained to be verified.

Qi Baorui said this now mainly to appease Chen Duan and increase his persuasiveness. If he could obtain the "Earth" and "Gold" elements, he would naturally have given them directly to Chen Duan.

With his current status, obtaining the "Water" and "Fire" elements was not difficult, but the "Earth" and "Gold" elements were too special, making them extremely difficult to acquire.

A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Duan's eyes. He hadn't expected Qi Baorui to be so thoughtful.

Although he could forcibly graft other internal energy with "Flower Transfer Grafting" now, having a complete set of systematic manuals for reference and a deeper understanding of the essence of the cultivation methods would naturally be much better.

However, more than this, he was more concerned about the statement "Hongyuan Five Elements are originally one."

He had never heard this theory before.

Moreover, he currently had three types of internal energy in his body—wood, fire, and water—but in his perception, their attributes were vastly different, and he didn't feel any "commonality."

He looked at Qi Baorui, who had a serious expression and an undeniable look in his eyes.

Although Chen Duan's current realm and strength had long surpassed Qi Baorui's, the latter's attitude towards him remained like that of an elder, filled with care and responsibility.

Just like Qian Changchun back then.

After a moment of silence, Chen Duan nodded.

"Alright, I understand."

Qi Baorui breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

He naturally understood that privately teaching sect secret manuals to a disciple who was about to leave was highly improper for the sect.

However, besides personal sentiment, there were also rational considerations.

Chen Duan's talent was terrifying and rarely seen.

If he could truly cultivate the Hongyuan Five Elements, and if the Yuanxiang Sect failed to rebuild, Chen Duan could be considered a spark of hope.

"That's about all I have to say."

Qi Baorui cupped his fists, "Take care."

Chen Duan also solemnly cupped his fists in return.

"Take care of yourself too, Martial Uncle."

"Mm."

Qi Baorui subconsciously responded, then froze.

By the time he came to his senses, Chen Duan's figure had already vanished.

After a long while.

Qi Baorui raised his own hands, the faint internal energy from the Fuhu Fist First Level flowing from his fingertips.

When he had dispersed his cultivation back then, he had deliberately kept a little behind as a memento.

How did this kid find out?

Did Qian Changchun tell him?

If he knew, why did he only call me Martial Uncle now?

In the end, Qi Baorui just shook his head, a smile of helplessness and relief appearing on his face.

None of it mattered anymore.

In a daze, his gaze grew distant.

As if crossing through time.

He saw people and events from many years ago.

Sniff sniff~

Sniff sniff~

Ah Huang stared intently at the large meatball Chen Duan had brought back.

Its nose twitched incessantly, and it swallowed its drool again and again.

Chen Duan observed Ah Huang's reaction from the side. Seeing it like this, he brought his fingers together like a blade and casually cut open a slit in the meatball.

"Have a taste," Chen Duan said calmly.

Upon receiving permission, Ah Huang was ecstatic and bowed repeatedly to Chen Duan.

Just the smell of this thing made its soul tremble; it couldn't resist!

It pounced forward, opened its mouth, and inhaled deeply.

Wonderful~

Wonderful~

The essence of "deliciousness" surged into its body, and Ah Huang's fur relaxed all over.

It couldn't help but groan, immersed in the sensation, completely ignoring Chen Duan's command from the side.

"You can stop now."

"Didn't you hear me?"

"Stop!"

Chen Duan directly kicked Ah Huang away.

Ah Huang finally snapped back to reality, shaking its head.

Chen Duan looked at the meatball, his brow furrowed.

In just this short while, the plump meatball had shrunk by nearly half.

Ah Huang certainly ate fast.

He had only just brought this meatball back and hadn't figured it out yet. If it couldn't restore itself, the loss would be huge.

But it was too late for regrets.

He shot Ah Huang a fierce look.

Ah Huang put its paws behind its back, lowered its head, and dared not meet his gaze.

"How did it taste?" Chen Duan asked.

Hearing this, Ah Huang's spirits immediately lifted.

Recalling the deliciousness from before, it couldn't suppress its joy and gave a thumbs-up.

A brilliant smile spread across its face, and it let out a strange cackling sound.

From this laughter, Chen Duan could tell how delicious the meatball was to Ah Huang.

After inquiring in detail about Ah Huang's specific feelings after absorbing it, Chen Duan ordered it to immediately produce some powder.

The quality of the Yellow Medicine produced was more than double that of before.

Chen Duan felt more confident.

Then, he took the strange meatball and turned towards the cellar.

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.
