As the saying goes, human life is of paramount importance, and there is also a saying in Buddhism: saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.
Just now, Chen Xiao saved Sun Yang's life and instantly received a great deal of merit from the the Unseen. This merit was even greater than what he had gained when he drove away the bullies and stood up for some common cultivators at the Moon-Bearing City Crescent Moon Market in Moon City.
In a short while, wisps of bright yellow merit, visible only to Chen Xiao, flowed into Chen Xiao Dantian. The Merit Treasure Tree, which was originally only the length of a thumb, grew a little longer after being stimulated by this merit, and the tender green leaves on the tree became even more delicate and radiant.
These merits were absorbed by the precious tree and instantly transformed into a thumb-thick stream of merit power, which entered Chen Xiao's nascent Nascent Soul.
Chen Xiao's cultivation had already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Early Stage, only a step away from the Nascent Soul Middle Stage stage, the eighth stage of the Red Cloud Realm. Now, having absorbed this power of merit, Chen Xiao's cultivation surged forward, instantly breaking through to the eighth stage of the Red Cloud Realm, the Nascent Soul Middle Stage stage.
The instant Chen Xiao broke through his realm, thunder roared from the crimson clouds within his Dantian. Chen Xiao's Nascent Soul, which was originally draped in a dragon robe, was instantly enveloped by streaks of crimson lightning. Involuntarily, two bolts of lightning shot out from the eyes of the Nascent Soul soul.
However, all of this was happening silently within Chen Xiao's body. Now, Chen Xiao's body is protected by Crimson Cloud, and no one can see through his true situation. Even the fluctuations during his breakthrough were hidden by Crimson Cloud.
To others, Chen Xiao's cultivation level was concealed by some kind of hidden Law Treasure, making it impossible to discern his true strength.
Chen Xiao's words just now were righteous and indignant, causing the surrounding immortals to turn their heads in surprise.
Of course, in the minds of those immortals, Chen Xiao had already been defined as: a hothead who had nothing better to do than eat his fill.
As for the shop assistants in front of the Wind-Driving Treasure Pavilion, who were responsible for greeting the passing guests, they seemed to have not seen what Chen Xiao had done, and continued to greet every immortal or cultivator who entered the Wind-Driving Treasure Pavilion with their standard smiles.
"Senior Sun Yang, please wait here. I will go to the Wind-Driving Treasure Pavilion and retrieve the ' Pearl Orchid Curtain Immortal Herb ' for you."
With that, Chen Xiao turned around and walked towards the main entrance of the Wind-Driving Treasure Pavilion.
Li Feng and the others understood Chen Xiao's plan. With strange smiles on their faces, they followed Chen Xiao into the Wind-Driving Treasure Pavilion.
As for the old man Sun Yang, he was slightly stunned. When he saw Chen Xiao enter the Wind-Driving Treasure Pavilion and thought about what Chen Xiao had just said, he rolled his eyes and then turned around and left.
Although Sun Yang was grateful to Chen Xiao for saving him, he didn't dare to get involved now that Chen Xiao was going to the Wind-Driving Treasure Pavilion to retrieve the Pearl Orchid Curtain Immortal Herb for him. Otherwise, Sun Yang entire family might be implicated. Therefore, he left without saying a word and turned to run away.
Chen Xiao had long anticipated Sun Yang's actions and didn't pay much attention to it. Such things were commonplace in the Immortal World, and his own life was always more precious than others'.
However, Chen Xiao's presence here is merely a provocation, so it's not a big deal.
The first floor of the Wind-Driving Treasure Pavilion is a huge trading area, covering an area of about a mile in circumference, with countless counters, trading places, or exchange points.
Chen Xiao's actions at the entrance had already been witnessed by some immortals or cultivators. Now, seeing Chen Xiao leading his people into the Wind-Driving Treasure Pavilion, they all instantly began to look on with a desire to see the spectacle unfold.
"What do you need, sir?"
Just as Chen Xiao and Li Feng entered the Wind-Driving Treasure Pavilion, a woman with True Immortal cultivation received them and asked with a gentle smile.
" Pearl Orchid Curtain Immortal Herb, I just heard that the Wind-Driving Treasure Pavilion has Pearl Orchid Curtain Immortal Herb, and I want this one too."
Chen Xiao's voice had become sharp and piercing at some point, and instantly, the entire trading hall fell silent.
"In that case, young master, please follow me."
The True Immortal woman's expression remained unchanged; she continued to smile and led Chen Xiao to a trading counter.
The trading counter wasn't large, and in front of it stood a middle-aged man with a stern face and a black beard.
"Manager Feng." The black-bearded man immediately stood up and respectfully greeted them upon seeing the True Immortal woman leading Chen Xiao and the others over.
"Okay, go and fetch that Pearl Orchid Curtain Immortal Herb from earlier."
When Manager Feng faced the black-bearded man, his expression remained cold and indifferent, the smile from before completely gone.
Chen Xiao immediately realized that what he had just done in front of the door had been seen by the people of the Wind-Driving Treasure Pavilion, and that's why they sent a manager to entertain him as a precaution.
However, Chen Xiao sneered inwardly, "Since I'm here to cause trouble, why would I let you have your way?"
Chen Xiao immediately plopped down on a chair in front of the counter, crossed his legs, and Li Feng and the two Chen Xiao Heavenly Immortal from the Li Family naturally followed suit, sitting down in a crooked and unsteady manner.
People from the Wind-Driving Sect don't receive any respect from the Li Family.
Manager Feng, seeing Chen Xiao and the others' behavior, remained unperturbed, a faint smile still on his face.
The Pearl Orchid Curtain Immortal Herb is a high-grade immortal herb. After obtaining it, the Wind-Driving Treasure Pavilion immediately put it into its inventory and would not store it in the exchange on this floor.
About fifteen minutes later, the black-bearded man walked over respectfully, holding a long, narrow white jade box in both hands.
"Young master, this is the Pearl Orchid Curtain Immortal Herb. Please take a look."
After receiving the white jade box, Manager Feng gently opened it.
In an instant, Chen Xiao felt a wave of intense heat wash over him, and a faint red light flickered incessantly.
The Pearl Orchid Curtain Immortal Herb is a top-grade immortal grass with fire attributes, containing a large amount of fire attribute Spiritual Qi. It is an extremely valuable treasure in this Xuhe Realm.
"Oh?"
Chen Xiao looked at the immortal herb in front of him, which was no more than half a foot tall and shimmered with vermilion light all over its body. Then he reached out to take the white jade box.
Manager Feng hesitated for a moment, but finally let go, allowing Chen Xiao to take the white jade box along with the Pearl Orchid Curtain Immortal Herb.
"It really is the Pearl Orchid Curtain Immortal Herb."
Chen Xiao looked at the immortal herb and sighed softly, "It's a pity, it only has nine thousand years of cultivation time. If it could wait ten thousand years, then an immortal who consumed it could obtain five hundred years of arduous cultivation essence out of thin air. What a pity."
"It's a real pity."
Upon hearing Chen Xiao's words, Manager Feng's initial wariness lessened slightly.
Swish
But the next moment, her pupils contracted sharply, because the Pearl Orchid Curtain Immortal Herb Grass in Chen Xiao's hand had disappeared.
It should be noted that the white jade box was protected by a restriction, and ordinary storage Law Treasure could not retrieve the box or the immortal herbs inside.
"Oh no, it's gone? Where did it go?"
Chen Xiao's mouth dropped open, and he began to shout, "Sir, this joke is not funny at all! Are you trying to force me to buy something?"
While Manager Feng was still in a daze, Chen Xiao took the initiative to accuse him first.
"You just forcibly took this immortal herb from an ordinary cultivator. What do you want to do now? Taking this immortal herb away out of thin air, are you trying to frame me?"
Chen Xiao stood up and kicked Manager Feng. Although Manager Feng was True Immortal, Chen Xiao was caught off guard and staggered from the kick.
coax
This caused chaos throughout the entire first-floor trading hall.
The Wind-Driving Treasure Pavilion is the largest pavilion in the Flame Silk Market, and the Wind-Driving Sect behind it is even more powerful, and is already the second largest force within a radius of 100,000 miles, after Moon City.
Even the relationship between the Wind-Driving Sect and the various forces within Moon City is intricate and complex. Even some of the local forces within Moon City dare not cause trouble here.
Moreover, Chen Xiao has now concealed his true appearance, so no one can recognize that the person in front of them is the noble young master who entered the city in a high-profile manner yesterday riding the Crane Talisman.
Chen Xiao was a spoiled brat who had been a playboy for over a decade. His greatest skill was causing trouble. Although the True Immortal supervisor in front of him was True Immortal, Chen Xiao's current cultivation level could not be judged by appearances alone.
His kick carried a trace of heavenly lightning power, so fast and fierce that Manager Feng didn't even have time to raise his immortal energy to defend himself before being kicked away by Chen Xiao.
"What are you doing at the Wind-Driving Treasure Pavilion? Are you trying to bully me because you're a big business and I'm new to Moon City? You're actually framing me like this!"
boom
As Chen Xiao spoke, he raised his hand, and two bolts of crimson lightning descended from the sky, striking the Wind Manager directly.
Manager Feng had now realized what was happening. Seeing Chen Xiao make his move, she was secretly furious, and a murderous intent rose in her heart. If she hadn't been unaware of the origins of these people in front of her, and if there weren't two Celestial Heavenly Immortal standing beside Chen Xiao and Li Feng, she probably would have already killed Chen Xiao on the spot.
Upon seeing the two bolts of lightning released by Chen Xiao, Manager Feng subtly moved his body and easily guided them to a defensive array.
Inside the Wind-Driving Treasure Pavilion, the restrictions were so strong that lightning of Chen Xiao's level couldn't cause any damage at all.
But the next moment, the two bolts of lightning that had been flying towards a defensive array suddenly appeared above the head of the Wind Manager, for some unknown reason.
Furthermore, at this moment, the two lightning bolts, which were not particularly powerful to begin with, suddenly increased in power more than tenfold, and struck the Wind Manager's head with a howling thunder.
In an instant, the woman in charge of the wind, who was originally elegant and noble, suddenly had long, black hair, a charred face, and smoke coming out of her mouth and nose.
The thunder techniques in the < Thunder Method > are all heavenly tribulation lightning. No matter who faces them, they can only withstand them head-on and cannot resort to any tricks. Just now, Manager Feng tried to divert the two tribulation lightning bolts to other places, which was simply asking for trouble.
Waaah, I overslept! Sorry, I'll keep working on the third update!
