Visiting Crimson Flame Peak to Seek a Spirit Beast, Learning of Han Zhao's Worry over His Son's Illness

She didn't know how much time had passed, but when she opened her eyes again, Chen Shuangbai had returned to the real world.

Clearly, his Divine Sense had withdrawn from that platinum-colored world and returned to the palace.

True Lord Xuanyuan had already put away the sword talisman. Seemingly sensing his awakening, he asked, "How is it?"

Chen Shuangbai remarked with a sigh, "Only someone like this can truly be called a sword immortal!"

Upon hearing this, True Lord Xuanyuan knew that this Jade Spring Dao Child seemed to have gained quite a bit.

Chen Shuangbai suppressed his many thoughts and expressed his gratitude to True Lord Xuanyuan, True Person Lingxing, True Person Yinghua, and Zhao Shiyong, considering it a way of establishing a good relationship.

True Lord Xuanyuan accepted his bow and then disappeared.

Only a few Golden Core True Person remained in the palace.

As for that rogue cultivator who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, Zhao Shiyong said that the other party had woken up early and had already taken his leave.

At this point, Zhao Shiyong couldn't help but look at Chen Shuangbai with surprise, his tone quite emotional. "When you were admiring the treasure just now, a platinum-gold light gradually appeared on your body, which gave us quite a fright!"

The other two Golden Core cultivators were equally astonished.

With this matter concluded, it was inconvenient for True Person Lingxing and True Person Yinghua to linger any longer, so they both took their leave.

Before leaving, True Person Lingxing smiled and said to Chen Shuangbai, "Fellow Xuhong, your Jade Spring Sect and the Arrayed Mystery Sect have a grudge. If you ever have a good opportunity to strike at the Arrayed Mystery Sect in the future, please share it with me. I will certainly not disappoint you!"

At this point, the Golden Core True Person from the Heavenly Star Mystic Sect looked mischievous, like a lively character.

This left Chen Shuangbai somewhat amused and exasperated.

"Definitely! Definitely!"

The two exchanged contact information, thus getting to know each other.

By the time they returned to Crimson Rosy Clouds Garden, it was already broad daylight.

Neither Gao Yi nor Fang Xiao rested; instead, they sat in the courtyard, waiting for Chen Shuangbai's return.

Upon his return, they all rose and bowed.

"Go and rest."

Chen Shuangbai said with a smile.

After spending a day at Crimson Rosy Clouds Garden, Chen Shuangbai did not rush to leave. Instead, she went to see Zhao Shiyong to ask if the Profound Firmament Sect had any spirit beasts like the [ Flowing Light Flame Bird ].

These kinds of spirit beasts, though they take the form of birds, are actually born from the essence of fire. They like to live in places where fire is abundant, and the Zhao Kingdom, where the Profound Firmament Sect is located, is such a place.

Zhao Shiyong didn't ask Chen Shuangbai why he wanted to find this spirit beast, but instead instructed his disciples to investigate within the sect, and they indeed found traces of it.

only...

After the disciple returned and explained who had the spirit beast, Zhao Shiyong showed a rare hint of unease.

Seeing this, Chen Shuangbai understood that the matter was probably difficult, so he said, "If Fellow Daoist Zhao has any difficulties, please speak frankly. If the owner of the spirit beast is unwilling to part with it, I will not force him; I will find another way."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shiyong gave a wry smile and recounted the whole story.

As mentioned earlier, the Profound Firmament Sect is divided into the Aristocratic Clan lineages and master-disciple lineages.

The spirit beast [ Flowing Light Flame Bird ] that Chen Shuangbai sought was actually possessed by someone within the Profound Firmament Sect, but this person was a core figure in the Aristocratic Clan lineage.

To put it more accurately, the other party was of similar status to Zhao Shiyong, and was precisely the kind of person that Aristocratic Clan had sent out to compete with Zhao Shiyong. Both of them were also young talents who had already become Golden Core True Person cultivators.

Although there is currently no direct conflict between the two sides under the sect's regulations.

However, with the successive rise of Golden Core True Person in the master-disciple lineage, they have inadvertently encroached upon the interests of the Aristocratic Clan families. How could the other party possibly give Zhao Shiyong face?

Every family has its own troubles!

Chen Shuangbai was not discouraged. After thinking for a moment, he said, "It is indeed not good to put you in a difficult position. Why don't you tell me the name of this person and the location of his cave abode, and I will personally go to visit him and ask for his help?"

Seeing that Chen Shuangbai seemed somewhat anxious, Zhao Shiyong knew that she was of great use.

After careful consideration, he decided it was best not to get involved, otherwise Chen Shuangbai would have no chance at all. So he revealed his fellow disciple's name and the location of his cave abode, and added at the end, "My fellow disciple has a newborn son today, but he suffered some damage to his vital energy at birth and has developed some ailments. I thought that since your sect, Jade Spring Sect, is skilled in water-based healing... if we start from that angle, things will go much more smoothly."

disease?

Chen Shuangbai nodded slightly, thanked Zhao Shiyong, and then took out a bottle of [ Mystic Light Illuminating Life Pill ] and placed it on the table.

Zhao Shiyong frowned immediately, about to refuse, but Chen Shuangbai said, "I have already troubled you many times, brother. This is just a small token of my appreciation. If you refuse it, I dare not visit you again in the Shuangbai!"

Zhao Shiyong then accepted the gift and watched Chen Shuangbai leave.

"This Jade Spring Dao Child... is no ordinary person!"

Crimson Flame Peak.

Because it was inappropriate to use Zhao Shiyong's connections to meet him, he did not have any of Zhao's disciples lead the way. Instead, he carried Zhao's handwritten letter, which prevented the Profound Firmament Sect's protective formation from targeting him and allowed him to move freely within the sect.

Before long, they arrived at the cave abode dwelling of that True Person.

Chen Shuangbai landed on a protruding cliff halfway up the mountain. His Divine Ability light shone brightly, which naturally startled the attendants on the mountain. Seeing that it was Golden Core True Person, they dared not be negligent and were about to come forward to ask.

Upon reaching him and taking a closer look at Chen Shuangbai's face, he immediately recognized who it was and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "I am a servant from Crimson Flame Peak. May I ask what brings True Person Jade Spring Sect True Person Xuhong of Jade Spring Sect here?"

Chen Shuangbai wasn't surprised that the servant recognized her.

After all, he won several matches in a row at the Dharma Assembly and ultimately took first place. There are probably quite a few people in the Profound Firmament Sect who recognize him.

He smiled, a smile that instantly won over anyone, and cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "This humble Daoist priest, Xuhong, has come to pay him a visit."

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Han is currently in his cave abode?"

Upon hearing this, the attendant replied, "My Peak Master is indeed here."

Please inform them.

Upon hearing this, the attendant hesitated for a moment, then said, "Unfortunately, my Peak Master is preoccupied with important matters and is unable to receive guests these days. We've troubled you, Master, to make this trip in True Person."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shuangbai roughly understood that the other party was probably unwilling to see guests because of the child.

"I roughly understand what Fellow Daoist Han is worried about today. It just so happens that my Jade Spring Sect is also a great school of Dao of Alchemy. I wonder if you could convey my thoughts to me so that I can take a look?"

Upon hearing this, the attendant's eyes lit up slightly, but quickly dimmed again, as if he hesitated.

Chen Shuangbai wasn't in a hurry and just waited.

A short while later, the attendant bowed and then turned back to his cave abode.

A bright red light emerged from the cave abode, and when it faded, it revealed a middle-aged man dressed in a crimson robe.

This man had a square face and an imposing presence between his brows, but at this moment, his eyes revealed an undisguised anxiety and weariness.

It was none other than Han Zhao, the master of this peak and Golden Core True Person from the Profound Firmament Sect Aristocratic Clan.
