Facts have proved that Chen Fan's plan was very successful. After Chen Xiu arranged for the disciples of Xun Yang Division to investigate the reputation of those sects, Chen Fan also took this opportunity to ask him to go into retreat in the name of manpower shortage.

breakthrough.

At this time, Chen Xiu had no doubt that he was there. After all, if he hadn't been worried about the lack of manpower in the sect, he probably wouldn't be so anxious to improve his cultivation.

So after hearing Chen Fan's request, he just made some arrangements for the affairs of the sect, and asked Zhang Qishan to temporarily take over part of his work, and then went to retreat obediently.

Because he was worried about what problems might arise during his disciple's retreat this time, Chen Fan also gave Chen Xiu his greatest help this time.

This time, Chen Fan not only prepared a double dose of elixirs for Chen Xiu, he even decided to personally guard him. In this way, if something unexpected happens to him while he is in retreat, then

Chen Fan could also take action in time to ensure his life safety.

Regarding Chen Xiu's sudden seclusion this time, other people in Tiandao Sect will inevitably have some doubts in their hearts. After all, as fellow sect members, and under the circumstances of not seeing each other every day, what is the relationship between them?

Everyone has some idea about cultivation, especially Chen Xiu's sister Chen Qian. The doubts in her heart this time are particularly serious.

As Chen Fan's biological sister, how could Chen Qian not know about her brother's cultivation progress? Therefore, Chen Xiu's sudden retreat was naturally completely beyond her expectation.

After all, Chen Qian knew very well that her eldest brother had always been below her in terms of improvement in cultivation over the years due to his qualifications and training time.

Moreover, this situation has started since their brother and sister's cultivation reached the divine transformation stage, and there has never been an exception in the past few decades.

But this time, his eldest brother was so quiet that he had entered the Void Refining Stage one step ahead of her. How could such a "huge" change not attract Chen Qian's attention?

Woolen cloth?

"Master, did you give my elder brother a little extra time this time? Otherwise, how could he have reached the Void Refining stage so soon?" After sending Chen Xiu into the secret room of seclusion, Chen Qian was a little gossipy.

asked.

Well, Chen Qian's first feeling was that his eldest brother had received some benefit from his master, which was why his cultivation had improved so rapidly.

Of course, Chen Qian's speculation is not completely based on nothing. After all, as the head of the Tiandao Sect, Chen Xiu does get some benefits that others do not have.

"What are you thinking about all day long in your little mind? If your elder brother has any special benefits, will he forget you for once?"

Chen Fan knew that every time he gave Chen Xiu a benefit alone, Chen Xiu would share it with his sister. Otherwise, his cultivation would not be surpassed by his sister.

"Well; that's true. Brother, he loves me so much. If there are any benefits, he will definitely not hide his secrets. No, is there something wrong with his cultivation?" Chen Qian is indeed the one.

Chen Xiu's sister, just thinking about it, is already close to the truth.

"Okay Qianqian, please stop thinking about it. If there is something really wrong with Xiao Xiu's cultivation, won't you be able to tell it yourself?" Chen Fan didn't expect that Chen Qian's intuition would be like this.

Sensitive, but he still didn't plan to tell Chen Qian about this matter.

"Well, that's true, but I don't know why. I always feel that there are some other reasons for the eldest brother's retreat." Well, although Chen Qian felt it was strange, there was something wrong.

, she didn’t understand it at this time either.

"Hahaha, okay, you have this skill, you might as well go back and practice hard. After your elder brother retreats this time, he is already a monk in the Void Refining Stage. If you don't work hard, you will be killed by him.

She's been left behind." Chen Fan saw where she had been "thinking nonsense," so he started to scare her with words.

"Ah, why did I forget this? Master, there must be no problem with my brother's retreat this time, right?" Although she was worried that her cultivation would be left behind, before that, she still had to talk to her master.

Make sure about your elder brother's situation.

"Well; don't worry. Although your elder brother's retreat this time seems a bit hasty, but with me personally guarding him, what do you have to worry about?"

Seeing her "poor" look, Chen Fan really wanted to tell her the truth for a moment, but in the end, Chen Fan suppressed the urge.

Because Chen Fan knows that if everything goes well in Chen Xiu's retreat this time, then telling her by himself will only make her more worried at this time. But if there is really any problem, then even if he tells her now, then

It's also of no use.

"Well; this is also the case. Humph, this stinky big brother is so silent. He is already about to break through to the realm of the Void Refining Stage. No, I have to go back to practice as soon as possible. I don't want to be beaten by him.

It's too far." After saying that, Chen Qian hurried back without waiting for Chen Fan to say anything else.

Looking at Chen Qian who had already run so far away in just a short time, the smile on Chen Fan's face quickly disappeared. Compared to Chen Qian who didn't know anything, Chen Fan's smile at this time

In my heart, I was more nervous than anyone else.

Up to now, Chen Fan is still not sure about Chen Xiu's retreat. After all, as long as he enters the secret room of retreat, everything in it depends on Chen Xiu himself. What he wants at this time

All that can be done is to beat the drum.

"Husband, do you need us to come with you to guard the gate this time?"

Ren Tingting and others who were also very worried about Chen Xiu at this time came over to ask Chen Fan after seeing Chen Qian leave. After all, they also knew very well that this matter had been hidden from Chen Qian from beginning to end.

"No need, if something really happens to Xiao Xiu, I will naturally take action. And if it can't be solved even if I take action, then it's useless for you to be here. Besides, I originally helped Xiao Xiu personally this time.

Guarding the gate is already very eye-catching. If you are all here, then others will definitely find it even more strange. At present, our Tiandao Sect has a powerful enemy, and the current situation in the gate, everything still has to be based on

Stability is the main thing.”

Chen Fan naturally knew their intentions, but this time, he still did not agree to their proposal.

When Ren Tingting and others heard what he said, they stopped forcing it. After all, they all knew that what Chen Fan said was indeed the truth.

No matter when it was, Chen Fan had never defended anyone before. Even when Uncle Jiu was in retreat, Chen Fan had never personally taken action.

And this time, if it weren't for the reason that the two worlds were about to meet, I'm afraid Chen Fan wouldn't have been able to take action himself.

Although there were some problems with Chen Xiu's state of mind, his cultivation was solid, so not long after the retreat, he had quickly reached the bottleneck of the Divine Transformation Stage and the Void Refining Stage.

Because of this retreat, Chen Fan prepared a double dose of elixirs for him, so he didn't have to worry about the lack of elixirs. He almost immediately started preparing to forcefully rush.

It's just that the elixir refined by Chen Fan is not omnipotent after all. When Chen Xiu came out of seclusion, his already unstable state of mind began to "sway" violently at this time, so Chen Xiu's

The first time I tried it, I didn't achieve the desired effect at all.

Chen Xiu was very unwilling and did not care about his mental problems. After all, when his cultivation level broke through, his mental state would change, so soon, he had already started his second pass.

Who would have thought that this second pass would immediately completely shake his state of mind and pull him into the "illusion".

Chen Xiu, who was pulled into the illusion, was unaware of everything. In the illusion, he once again witnessed the scene of their family being robbed by bandits. This scene can be said to be an eternal pain in Chen Xiu's heart.

As the saying goes, what you think about every day is what you dream about every night. When monks have illusions, what they reveal is often the softest part of their hearts, that is, the flaws in their minds. The reason why illusions and inner demons are called so many high

The monks of all levels felt headaches because of this.

As the scenes in the illusion continued to change, his and Chen Qian's experiences were constantly being repeated. The only difference was that Chen Fan did not appear in the illusion at this time.

In Chen Xiu's fantasy, he and his sister Chen Qian have been begging for a living since childhood. The two brothers and sister have endured countless hardships in order to survive.

Many times, the two of them were in a narrow escape situation.

If nothing unexpected happens, then Chen Xiu's life will soon end in the illusion. And if his life ends in the illusion, then the outside world will also cause his breakthrough to completely fail.
