Since embarking on the road of cultivating immortals, Chen Xuan has met many practitioners, but most of them are half-hearted and fake masters, who are not even at the Qi-refining stage, let alone the foundation-building stage.
The only person I have ever met who is an expert in the foundation building stage is Immortal Master Jade Mirror.
But the Immortal Master Jade Mirror is already over a hundred years old, and as he gets older, the magic power in his body continues to drain. His true cultivation level has dropped to the Qi Refining Stage, and he is not actually a practitioner in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Next is Fairy Bai whom I met on Kongtong Mountain. Fairy Bai has a cultivation level of the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage, which is very close to the Foundation Establishment Stage. However, Fairy Bai has reached her limit after practicing to this level, and she has no hope of breaking through in this life.
Foundation building period.
In this era of earth, it is more difficult to enter the foundation building stage than to reach the sky.
So when Chen Xuan heard Shang Bohuai say that he knew several Dharma practitioners in the Foundation Establishment stage, he immediately denied it and said: "How is it possible that there are still Dharma practitioners in the Foundation Establishment stage in this era?
Why haven’t I met one?”
"Silly boy, did I say they are from this era?"
Shang Bohuai couldn't help laughing when he heard what Chen Xuan said, "According to what I know, you practitioners who enter the Qi Refining Stage can live a hundred years, twenty or thirty years longer than ordinary people. If you enter the Foundation Building Stage,
, the lifespan can even reach one hundred, fifty or sixty years, and the few friends I know are old monsters from the last era who have survived until now."
Hearing these words, Chen Xuan was doubtful. If he was really a cultivator of the previous era, it was indeed possible to enter the foundation-building period, but I am afraid that these few foundation-building periods are already on the verge of death and he has only a few years to live.
"I believe you are telling the truth for the moment, but what does this have to do with the spiritual land you mentioned?
Don't tell me that those few practitioners in the foundation-building period are practicing in seclusion in the spiritual land."
Chen Xuan's sword-shaped eyebrows were slightly furrowed and he stared closely into Shang Bohuai's eyes.
"No, but your guess is pretty close. I know the three practitioners in the foundation-building period who practice close to the spiritual land. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to survive for so long."
As Shang Bohuai spoke, he took two steps left and right. This move made Chen Xuan slightly more vigilant.
He wanted to prevent this guy from picking up the Purple Heart Begonia on the ground and running away.
"Chen Xuan, let's make a deal."
"What deal?"
Shang Bohuai's words were quite jumpy, which made Chen Xuan a little confused about this person's tricks.
"Haha, this transaction is very simple. I will betroth my precious daughters to you, and then sell you the news about the Chinese Spiritual Land. You let me take away two Purple Heart Begonias. No matter how you calculate this transaction, you will make the profit.
It’s big, how about we make a deal directly?”
Shang Bohuai's tone was very seductive, like a charlatan who has been selling dog-skin plasters for decades, and he has a very smooth tone.
Chen Xuan pretended that he was deep in thought, but in fact he judged immediately that this transaction was not profitable at all.
First of all, Yaoyao and Qinqin were already in love with him, so there was no need for Shang Bohuai to betroth him. Moreover, Shang Bohuai had no such right. If they wanted to betrothed, it was Mrs. Iori who would do it.
Secondly, every word of Shang Bohuai is false. Who knows whether the news about Lingdi he said is true or false. At least Chen Xuan will not believe a single punctuation mark of what he said to Shang Bohuai.
Therefore, Chen Xuan would never agree to this deal easily.
Seemingly sensing Chen Xuan's concerns, Shang Bohuai coughed twice and said, "Are you afraid that your father-in-law will sell false news?
In this way, let me reveal something to you first. I have traveled thousands of miles across China over the years, and have been to all dangerous places, secret places and forbidden places. This is also how I made friends with the three Dharma practitioners in the foundation-building period. Over the years, I have heard a lot about cultivation.
There is news about spiritual lands, but most of them are fake spiritual lands. Only the three friends in the foundation-building period revealed to me are the real news. These three spiritual lands are located in the Changbai Mountains in the northeast, the Kunlun Mountains in the northwest, and the inland Miao territory.
area."
"Go on."
Chen Xuan remained cautious and skeptical about Shang Bohuai's words.
Shang Bohuai clicked his tongue and expressed his dissatisfaction, but continued: "The three areas I mentioned contain the three great spiritual places of China. As for more precise information, you have to ask my three architects.
My friends in the base period, in short, if you get this news, you will definitely make a lot of money. Legend has it that these three spiritual lands have passages to the real world of immortality. It’s just that my three friends have been searching for decades and haven’t found it yet. How about it, I’m here
Is that true enough?
If I told lies, I would definitely not tell you that my three friends could not find the passage."
"That makes sense."
Chen Xuan responded noncommittally, but in his heart he still didn't quite believe what Shang Bohuai said.
Of the three areas Shang Bohuai mentioned, he had been to Miaojiang before, and the most mysterious one there was the ancient witchcraft gate deep in Leigong Mountain.
But the ancient witch gate was a giant door thousands of feet long that humans could not open at all. Chen Xuan had no way of knowing whether it was a real spiritual land or a passage leading to the world of immortality.
As for Changbai Mountain and Kunlun Mountain, Chen Xuan has never been there, so he cannot be sure whether what Shang Bohuai said is true or false.
"Silly boy, have you finished thinking about it?
I'm waiting to use two Purple Heart Begonias to heal my wounds! Humph, if I were in peak condition now, I wouldn't be bothered to stay here with you."
Shang Bohuai looked very impatient.
Chen Xuan touched his chin and made the final decision: "I'd better take you back to see Yaoyao Qinqin and Mrs. Iori first, and then let you lead the way to your three foundation-building friends."
While saying this, Chen Xuan turned into a white shadow and rushed towards Shang Bohuai.
"You bastard, you said you were just entertaining me for a long time, right? When I recover from my injuries, I will settle the account with you!"
Shang Bohuai was so angry when he said these words that he still had his previous free and easy temperament. Seeing that Chen Xuan was coming very quickly, he could only grab the Purple Heart Begonia on the ground that was cultivated by Chen Xuan's acupuncture, and then took out a flower from his pocket.
A small ball wrapped in something unknown was thrown to the ground.
Bang! A large cloud of white smoke appeared around Shang Bohuai, and at the same time, the erratic sound of the piano came from the smoke.
Chen Xuan grabbed the remaining Purple Heart Begonia on the ground and patted the white smoke, but the heavy white smoke could not be dispersed no matter how hard he patted it.
"You bastard, I don't believe that this trick, coupled with the Kirigakure illusion that sister Iori taught me, can't trap you!"
Shang Bohuai's voice seemed to come from a very far away place, but if he listened carefully, it seemed to be right next to his ears, making Chen Xuan unable to figure out his location.
When the clairvoyant eyes are turned on, one can only see a white mist, which continues to spread outside the pine forest.
With his eyebrows furrowed, Chen Xuan's body shot out of the pine forest like an arrow from a string, but Shang Bohuai's figure was no longer within sight.
It has to be said that Shang Bohuai used the sound-killing method and illusion very well, and he actually managed to escape under Chen Xuan's pursuit.
