Xu Caichen Revisited an Old Haunt

"If you're being serious, then we protectors are really just accessories. Of course, if Little Chen asks me to do something, I won't refuse. I wouldn't even mind being his servant."

The Great Sage Mountain-Mover spoke in a very serious tone, not at all like a Great Sage, but rather like a loyal old servant.

Her appearance and tone completely stunned Great Sage Blazing Sun. If she hadn't already investigated and found that Chief Chu's strength was above her own, she would have wanted to show the Miscellaneous Dao Institute everyone her strength.

How could the Great Sage Mountain-Mover not see the doubt in the heart of the Great Sage Blazing Sun? He slowly said, "When I followed Little Chen, I was just a small Nirvana cultivator. I followed Little Chen for less than ten years and the number of times I made a move can be counted on one hand."

Little Chen took me to the ruins once, and I broke through to the Half-Saint Realm. Where in the world can you find such an easy job?

silence.

A silent atmosphere filled the air.

Although Great Sage Blazing Sun appeared calm on the surface, her heart was already churning with turmoil. If it weren't for the need to maintain her image as a superior person, she would have really wanted to say, "You old rascal, your luck is just too good!"

The Great Sage Mountain-Mover continued, "If Senior Sister is curious about the Miscellaneous Dao Institute, observing the disciples' cultivation methods tomorrow will answer your questions."

Great Sage Blazing Sun quickly recovered and smiled slightly, saying, "Thank you for informing me, Junior Brother. I know what to do now. Farewell."

Goodbye.

Watching the other person disappear, the Great Sage Mountain-Mover thought to himself: I hope this senior sister from the Holy Institute won't be ungrateful, otherwise Senior Brother Chu won't tolerate her.

The Great Sage Blazing Sun casually found a place to meditate and rest. Several hours later, footsteps were heard within the range of her divine sense.

She immediately used her divine sense to probe the direction from which the footsteps came, and saw that little Cao Youqian was walking towards her with an air of indifference.

Is this kid always this irritating?

Just as the Great Sage Blazing Sun was filled with doubt, Cao Youqian found a place and began a day of cultivation.

After practicing all the boxing techniques he had learned in his life, he began to practice Taiji Fist.

Great Sage Blazing Sun was confused by Cao Youqian's actions; how could this kid learn something so complicated?

As the matriarch of the Cao Clan, she naturally did not want to see her descendants go astray, and her subconscious reaction was to step out from the shadows.

But soon the words that the Great Sage Mountain-Mover had told her came to mind.

Enough, enough, let's wait and see how things develop.

As Cao Youqian slowly practiced Taiji Fist, a Yin-Yang Taiji diagram appeared behind him.

This... this kid's punch resonated with the heavens and earth!

Looking at the scene before Great Sage Blazing Sun, all the unhappiness and frustration he had felt earlier vanished without a trace.

I was so naive. Luckily, I listened to my junior brother Mountain-Mover's advice, otherwise I would have been the one in an awkward situation.

I wonder how the other disciples at the Dao-Seeking Academy are doing in their cultivation?

The Great Sage Blazing Sun left to continue observing the cultivation of the other disciples in the Miscellaneous Dao Institute.

After watching it once, the Great Sage Blazing Sun was stunned. Every disciple of the Miscellaneous Dao Institute had a seemingly ordinary way of cultivating, but every action contained the way of heaven and earth.

No wonder these little guys have achieved so much at such a young age.

Chief Chu is truly an extraordinary person. I wonder how he cultivates?

Although the Great Sage Blazing Sun was curious, reason prevailed and she dismissed the idea, as prying into someone else's cultivation method was a major taboo.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

Chu Feng and his group packed their bags and prepared to leave. Before departing, he informed the dean.

The dean didn't say much; he naturally wouldn't ask too many questions about such a trivial matter as traveling to a secular country.

The Wu Kingdom was located Wanli away from the Dao-Seeking Academy. Chu Feng and his group flew there in a day using their magical artifacts.

After arriving in the territory of the Wu Kingdom, the group did not swagger off in their vehicles to explore, but instead chose to ride horses towards Lin'an, the capital of the Wu Kingdom.

Along the way, Chu Feng experienced the local customs and culture of the Wu Kingdom, which were not much different from the ancient kingdoms he had seen in TV dramas in his previous life.

Occasionally, you can see some low-level cultivators on the road; most of them are below the Dao Foundation.

Sensing the worldly atmosphere, the group then shifted the topic to Xu Caichen.

Cao Youqian asked, "Junior Brother Xu, how long did it take you to travel from this small Wu Kingdom to the Dao-Seeking Academy back then?"

Xu Caichen said, "It's been three years. During that time, some kind cultivators guided me, especially when I met Xiaozhuo. That Hero Yan helped us a lot. I wonder if I'll ever meet Hero Yan again in this lifetime."

Chu Feng said, "As long as you're willing, you can find him by spending some merit points."

Upon hearing this, Xu Caichen's eyes lit up, and he muttered, "Once I've resolved this matter, I'll go to the External Affairs Institute to issue a missing person notice."

Chu Feng didn't continue the topic, but casually asked a question.

"Caichen, how long will it take us to reach the capital of the Wu Kingdom?"

Xu Caichen replied, "Master, we are still over a thousand miles from the capital of the Wu Kingdom. Our steed will take three days to reach its destination without us riding at full speed."

After listening, Chu Feng said calmly, "Then let's take our time."

"Good."

The group responded and continued chatting, without making any effort to hurry.

Before they knew it, the sun had already set, and the group was still in the wilderness.

Chu Feng scanned the area with his divine sense and discovered a dilapidated temple.

Although the temple was dilapidated, it contained no demonic Yao Qi, not even a trace of yin energy.

He used his divine sense to investigate, and at first glance, he saw that it contained the three large characters "Lanruo Temple".

Just then, Xiaozhuo, who was riding the same horse as Xu Caichen, suddenly spoke up, "Husband, do you still remember this place?"

Xu Caichen smiled and said, "Of course I remember. Further ahead is Lanruo Temple. If I hadn't been robbed by bandits and had no choice but to stay at Lanruo Temple, we probably would never have met in this lifetime."

Xiaozhuo said, "Then let's revisit this place. Maybe we'll run into Hero Yan again, and that will save you from worrying about him, my husband."

Xu Caichen's eyes lit up, and he immediately said to everyone, "Master, fellow disciples, if we walk another mile, we will reach Lanruo Temple. That is where Xiaozhuo and I pledged our love."

Cao Youqian said with a smile, "Then we should go and take a look."

"Let's go together."

As they talked, they asked Xu Caichen to lead the way, and after a short while, they arrived Lanruo Temple.

Everyone dismounted and led their horses into the temple.

As soon as Chu Feng entered, he sensed the aura of a Spirit Nurturing Realm expert, while Xu Caichen, standing to the side, casually shouted a few times.

"Hero Yan, Hero Yan..."

Before the words were finished, a loud voice came from afar.

"Hahaha... Xu Caichen, what brings you back to Lanruo Temple, kid?"

Along with the sound came a burly figure. Upon closer inspection, everyone saw a tall, middle-aged man with a full beard.

Xu Caichen smiled as he saw the newcomer and said, "I was passing through this place on my way back to Lin'an, so I came up to see if you, Hero Yan, were at Lanruo Temple. I didn't expect to actually run into you. How have you been these past years?"

Hero Yan nodded. "I've traveled to several surrounding countries over the years, but I found this Lanruo Temple to be the most comfortable place, so I came back. By the way, who are these gentlemen?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Caichen's face immediately lit up with realization, and he laughed, "Hero Yan forgot to introduce you. This is my master, and the others are my fellow disciples."

Before leaving, Chu Feng specifically instructed them not to easily reveal their identities while outside, so Xu Caichen didn't provide much information.

However, Yan Chixia was a rogue cultivator Rogue Cultivator the cultivation world for many years. He could tell at a glance that Xu Caichen and his group were extraordinary. In particular, Xu Caichen had transformed from an ordinary person into someone Yan Chixia couldn't understand after just a few years. Either his cultivation was higher than Yan Chixia's, or he had a treasure that concealed his cultivation level.

Either way, it's enough to show that Xu Caichen has joined an extraordinary sect.

He addressed Chu Feng, saying, "Junior Yan Chixia greets Senior."

Chu Feng smiled and said, "No need for formalities. It's fate that we met. How about we have a few drinks tonight?"

Yan Chixia's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and Fist Dao, "This junior obeys."
