Xiao Yan's Trust! Returning to Daojian Immortal City

The Earth Vein Profound Sun Fire completely surrounded the Blood Spirit Bead Pearl, and as it burned, wisps of black energy surged out, mixed with the faint howls of vengeful spirits.

Seeing this, Zhang Xuanchen no longer hesitated and threw in the two hundred low-level Blood Spirit Bead to purify them together.

At this point, Zhang Xuanchen had already assigned a grade to the Blood Spirit Bead Orb.

The Blood Spirit Bead, created through Blood Sacrifice of mortals, is of the primary level.

The Blood Sacrifice of Qi Refining cultivator results in an intermediate-level item.

Those formed through the Blood Sacrifice of Foundation Establishment cultivators are considered high-grade.

Half an hour later.

These Blood Spirit Bead have been purified.

"Xuanjing, if anyone gets close, remember to warn me."

"Okay, Brother Chen."

Zhang Xuanchen picked up a low-level Blood Spirit Bead and began to absorb its power using the Divine Dragon Hegemony Body Art.

Xiao Yan was cultivating, so naturally he couldn't fall behind. With the Xuanjing, he didn't need to worry about anything even when entering a deep cultivation state.

Time flies.

Three days later.

Thanks to the effects of the Second Stage low-level Healing Wound Pill, Xiao Yan's injuries were mostly healed. As for his damaged meridians, he would have to wait until he returned to Daojian Immortal City to see if there were any meridian-restoring pills for sale.

But I estimate that it's not.

Even if he did have one, he probably couldn't afford it.

Um?

Xiao Yan opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Xuanchen, who was sitting cross-legged at the entrance of the cave, cultivating. He was deeply moved.

Brother Chen has been protecting me these past few days.

I owe him more and more.

No!

Once I refine the Earth Vein Profound Sun Fire Sub-Fire and break through to the Foundation Establishment, I must give Brother Chen 50% of the resources from the Evil Spirits- filled cave abode!

No, 60%!

This is... the Blood Spirit Bead!

Brother Chen, what kind of Cultivation Method are you practicing that allows you to absorb the energy from the Blood Spirit Bead?

Could it be that he's secretly practicing some kind of evil martial art?

Xiao Yan pondered silently.

So what if he cultivates evil arts? Brother Chen is my benefactor. Even if he cultivates evil arts, I, Xiao Yan, will keep it a secret!

Moreover, this Cultivation Method is extremely domineering and releases the might of a dragon, so it is definitely not an evil technique.

Coming to his senses, Xiao Yan turned his head and saw Zhang Xuanchen smiling at him.

Overjoyed, he immediately stood up and went over. "Brother Zhang, you've completed your cultivation."

You've had a very fruitful time; your cultivation has even broken through to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

But I'm still just a novice at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer.

Well."

As he finished speaking, Xiao Yan sighed, his eyes filled with envy and dissatisfaction with himself, but not jealousy.

It seems I still need to work harder.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Xuanchen smiled and stood up.

"You're still sighing here. In just three and a half years, you've cultivated from the Qi Refining First Layer to the peak of the Qi Refining Ninth Layer. What more could you want?"

If you keep acting like this, Versailles, I might just beat you up!

Hearing Zhang Xuanchen's words, Xiao Yan smiled awkwardly and asked:

"Brother Chen, what does Versailles mean?"

"Um... it means that you are obviously excellent, but you tell others that you are just ordinary." Zhang Xuanchen explained briefly, then said seriously, "Brother Xiao, as you just saw, I can refine the Blood Spirit Bead to enhance myself."

"Don't you have anything you want to ask?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan did not hesitate at all and said firmly, "Although I have not had much contact with Brother Chen, I can roughly tell what kind of person Brother Chen is."

Moreover, those Evil Cultivator Blood Sacrifice so many Blood Spirit Bead; throwing them away would be a waste. It would be excellent if Brother Chen could use them for cultivation.

Even if we assume, hypothetically, that Brother Chen did indeed cultivate evil arts...

As long as they don't do anything that would be considered outrageous by both gods and men, they will still be my brothers, Xiao Yan's brothers!

After speaking, he looked directly at Zhang Xuanchen, his eyes showing no evasion.

"Good! I, Zhang Xuanchen, was right about you!"

Don't worry, I haven't been practicing any evil arts. I recently obtained a special Body Refining Cultivation Method that happens to be able to absorb the energy from these Blood Spirit Bead.

Moreover, these Blood Spirit Bead were purified by the Earth Vein Profound Sun Fire, so they will not affect my mind.

Although Xiao Yan believed in him, Zhang Xuanchen felt he still needed to explain, as this would better prove himself.

Xiao Yan: "So that's how it is. Then Brother Chen, you should take this opportunity to collect more Blood Spirit Bead."

This will also save you a lot of Cultivation Resources.

I won't destroy any Blood Spirit Bead I obtain in the future; I'll keep them for you.

Zhang Xuanchen naturally wouldn't refuse.

When we get back this time, we should also have Luo Lingshuang, Zhang Guangyao, and the others collect them.

Last time I was so busy catching up with Luo Lingshuang that I completely forgot about such an important matter.

That was really wrong.

"Alright, thank you very much. Elder Dan is now refining the Seven-leaf Soul Returning Grass in your ring."

It will probably take another seven days.

Come back to Daojian Immortal City with me.

Be safe.

Xiao Yan didn't refuse, "That's exactly what I was thinking. Then I'll trouble you Brother Chen."

His injuries haven't fully healed yet, so going back with Zhang Xuanchen is the best option.

"Haha, what's the trouble? Let's go."

The two walked outside the cave, and Zhang Xuanchen took out a Second Stage Flying Boat.

It is named Flowing Cloud Shuttle.

It's not very big; it can only hold about twenty people.

It's entirely silver-white, and its appearance is undeniably stunning.

Although it couldn't match Zhang Xuanchen's speed, it wasn't slower than that of an average Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator.

Wow! So handsome!

The moment Xiao Yan saw the Flowing Cloud Shuttle, he exclaimed in surprise, leaped onto the deck, and stroked the patterns on it.

His eyes were filled with longing.

This was the first time he had ever seen a Second Stage Flowing Cloud Shuttle.

Brother Chen, I am truly envious.

"That Flying Boat must be very expensive."

Zhang Xuanchen smiled, controlled the Flying Boat to ascend into the air, and then replied, "Not much, only about fifty or sixty thousand Low-grade Spirit Stone."

Versailles! That's not enough!

That's enough to kill me!

Xiao Yan was stunned. Normally, 60,000 Low-grade Spirit Stone would be enough to buy three Foundation Establishment!

But Zhang Xuanchen didn't say much!

Come to think of it, how could Golden Core Family lack such a small amount of Spirit Stone? Only a country bumpkin like him, who has never seen the world, would think this way.

Hearing Zhang Xuanchen's words, Zhang Xuanchen frowned. "What do you mean by 'enough to buy your life'?"

It's only fifty or sixty thousand Spirit Stone.

Brother Xiao, remember this: people can change and become stronger through hard work, something that nothing else can compare to!

Once you break through to the Foundation Establishment or Golden Core stages, look back and realize that fifty or sixty thousand Spirit Stone are nothing special.

Xiao Yan's gaze sharpened, and he said solemnly, "I have learned a lot."

Zhang Xuanchen waved his hand, "Why so serious? We're just chatting."

The journey back wasn't too boring with Xiao Yan accompanying them.

"Brother Xiao, I remember your Lineage isn't a local power on Penglai Immortal Island, is it?"

Upon hearing this question, Xiao Yan was taken aback and replied, "That's what my father said."

He said our Lineage's Ancestral Grounds is in a very far place, and when I went out to gain experience, my father even told me to keep an eye out for it."

Zhang Xuanchen nodded and continued, "Do you know about the Dragon Mountain Range?"

I've heard a little about it; I've heard it's very far from the Penglai Islands.

"There's a Golden Core Xiao Clan called the Xiao family over there. You can go check it out sometime; they might even be your kinsman."
