As Chen Xuan knelt before Tongtian, Dao Ancestor Hongjun in the Purple Cloud Palace couldn't help but stumble.

Immediately, a smile appeared on his face. "What a clever child. Since you know what gratitude is, you will be the first disciple of my Profound School's third generation from now on."

"Taishang, Yuanshi, from today onwards, you two will teach Chen Xuan together with Tongtian. You can bring him with you to the Purple Cloud Palace for the next sermon."

Dao Ancestor Hongjun's voice disappeared, and the Three Pure Ones couldn't help but bow and salute towards the Purple Cloud Palace again.

Only then did Tongtian, with trembling hands, help Chen Xuan up. "Child, how could you give up the opportunity to take the Master as your teacher? The Master is the only Saint in heaven and earth!"

Chen Xuan brushed the dust off his legs and said to Tongtian with a smile, "Is a Saint very impressive? Can he cut off heavenly lightning like Master?"

Chen Xuan's feigned ignorance made the Three Pure Ones look helpless. Goddess Nvwa could only cover her face and chuckle, thinking to herself that this little fellow was quite interesting.

Why did Chen Xuan choose to join Tongtian's sect, which had great karma? After all, during the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, only one out of ten disciples of Tongtian's sect survived.

If he wanted stability, he would naturally have joined Dao Ancestor Hongjun's sect. Even if he couldn't attain Sainthood, no one would dare to bully him.

But in the end, Chen Xuan still chose to take Tongtian as his teacher. The reason was not just that Tongtian saved him at the critical moment.

More importantly, Tongtian was Chen Xuan's idol. Perhaps this child was poisoned by the later generations' novels about the Great Desolation. In short, Chen Xuan chose Tongtian.

At this time, Tongtian also had a helpless look on his face, and then he looked at Taishang Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun with a triumphant air, as if saying, This time you can't steal my disciple.

Yuanshi Tianzun glared fiercely at Tongtian. "Master just said that we should teach Chen Xuan together, so Chen Xuan is also our disciple in name."

Laozi nodded directly. "Second Senior Brother is right, so for the first three hundred years, this poor Daoist should teach him Tai Shang Alchemy first."

Yuanshi Tianzun was not to be outdone and immediately said, "Then for another three hundred years, this poor Daoist will teach Chen Xuan, lest he be led astray by Third Junior Brother."

Tongtian was speechless. He was clearly his own disciple, but his two senior brothers were vying to teach him. How could he, as the Master, bear this?

At this moment, Chen Xuan had already arrived before Goddess Nvwa, completely ignoring the Three Pure Ones' argument.

Instead, he looked at Goddess Nvwa and said, "Thank you, Sister, for saving me just now."

Goddess Nvwa was stunned by Chen Xuan's words and immediately gave Chen Xuan a fierce glare and said.

"I am your Master's Junior Sister. Logically, you should call me Martial Aunt.

But considering that you have some affinity with me, I will acknowledge you as my younger brother."

It was chaotic, completely chaotic. Goddess Nvwa actually acknowledged Chen Xuan as her younger brother, which made the Three Pure Ones' foreheads covered in black lines.

After bidding farewell to Goddess Nvwa and Great God Fuxi, Chen Xuan followed the Three Pure Ones back to Kunlun Mountain.

At this time, Kunlun Mountain was not as magnificent as it would be in later generations. There were only three thatched huts standing on the peak of Kunlun Mountain.

This made Chen Xuan shake his head repeatedly. "Master, two Martial Uncles, could it be that this is your Dao field? This is a bit too shabby, isn't it?"

Seeing Chen Xuan's disdainful expression, the Three Pure Ones' faces were once again covered in black lines.

Since they had taken human form, they had always considered themselves the Authentic Pangu Sect. When had they ever been so despised?

Immediately, Laozi waved his hand, and the original thatched huts instantly disappeared, replaced by a majestic and solemn palace. The words "Taiqing Palace" were written above the palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun was not slow either. He also waved his hand, and the thatched hut turned into the Yuqing Palace. Tongtian Cult Master did the same, turning the thatched hut into the Shangqing Palace.

Then the Three Pure Ones looked at Chen Xuan with pride, and Tongtian directly said, "How about it now? Is it grand enough?"

Chen Xuan looked at the three palaces in front of him and couldn't help but nod, "The Authentic Pangu Sect should have such a presence.

Otherwise, wouldn't it lose face for Master and the two Senior Uncles? After all, Master and the two Senior Uncles will all attain Sagehood in the future."

Chen Xuan finally said something the Three Pure Ones were willing to hear, and smiles appeared on their faces.

As for Taishang Laozi, he was even more direct. Without paying attention to Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian, he directly pulled Chen Xuan towards his Taiqing Palace.

As the gate of Taiqing Palace closed, Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian shook their heads helplessly, then each returned to their own palaces to comprehend the Great Dao.

Chen Xuan followed Taishang Laozi into Taiqing Palace and saw a huge Eight Trigrams Furnace placed in the center of the ground.

The Samadhi True Fire in the Eight Trigrams Furnace burned endlessly, and at the same time, waves of medicinal fragrance drifted out from the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

"This is the Eight Trigrams Furnace, the furnace I use to refine Nine Revolutions Golden Pills. From today onwards, I will pass on the Tai Shang Alchemy to you. You must remember it well."

After Taishang Laozi finished speaking, he sat cross-legged on a futon, preparing to explain the Tai Shang Alchemy to Chen Xuan.

But what Laozi didn't expect was that Chen Xuan flipped his hand, and a golden Nine Revolutions Golden Pill appeared in his hand.

"Senior Uncle, is this the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill you want to refine?" Chen Xuan asked Taishang Laozi, holding the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill.

Taishang Laozi nodded, not finding it strange that Chen Xuan had a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill. After all, Tongtian had given him a whole gourd of Nine Revolutions Golden Pills.

"Senior Uncle, if this is the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, then this disciple doesn't need to learn the Tai Shang Alchemy. Because there is a big tree in this disciple's sea of consciousness, and the tree bears these golden Nine Revolutions Golden Pills."

After Chen Xuan finished speaking, with a thought, the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill tree in his sea of consciousness directly appeared before Laozi.

Taishang Laozi looked closely and indeed, it was covered in Nine Revolutions Golden Pills. And the number actually reached several hundred.

Moreover, there were countless small golden pills that were still budding. It was estimated that they would mature and become Nine Revolutions Golden Pills in a short time.

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Taishang Laozi reached out and picked a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill. His divine sense entered the golden pill for a look and found that its quality was actually above his own Nine Revolutions Golden Pills.

What shocked Taishang Laozi even more was that where he had just picked that Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, a flower bud instantly appeared, and a new Nine Revolutions Golden Pill began to gestate.

This meant that Chen Xuan possessed an inexhaustible supply of Nine Revolutions Golden Pills. Why would he need to learn any Tai Shang Alchemy?

A blow, it was an absolute, naked blow. How could Taishang Laozi, who was devoted to alchemy, bear this!

His proud Tai Shang Alchemy was completely worthless in front of Chen Xuan. For a moment, it was truly unacceptable to Taishang Laozi.

At the same time, this feeling actually touched Taishang Laozi's mind, causing Taishang Laozi to subconsciously close his eyes slightly and enter a state of enlightenment.

It turned out that Taishang Laozi had sensed his own Qi foundation and was about to become a Quasi-Sage expert.
