After bidding farewell to Liao Xun, Chen Xuan flew to the Lingji Palace with his sword.
Every time Chen Xuan comes here, the attitude of the deacon disciples towards him is very different.
When he first entered the profession, the deacon disciples acted condescendingly in front of him.
When he was promoted to the foundation building stage for the second time, the deacon disciples spoke to him much more politely.
But this time when he came to Lingji Hall, he was already at the Golden Core stage, and his return to the sect caused a sensation. The deacons and disciples of Lingji Hall were not only polite when they saw him, but even showed a hint of awe.
In most small and medium-sized sects in the Mountain and Sea Realm, it is a ubiquitous unspoken rule that the weak eat the strong and the strong are respected.
Chen Xuan became the core disciple of Qingyang Sect, and his status in the sect was second only to several immortal elders. It was normal for the deacon disciples to be in awe of him.
"Senior Brother Chen, you are here. Do you need us to help you with anything?"
Several deacon disciples saw Chen Xuan walking into the door and hurriedly came over to greet him.
"I want to choose a cave."
Chen Xuan ignored the flattery on the faces of these deacon disciples and walked straight inside.
A deacon disciple quickly responded: "Senior Brother Chen, the caves recorded on this jade slip are all in excellent locations and are unoccupied. Please see which one is better!"
As he spoke, the disciple took out a jade slip that glowed with milky white light. After injecting a burst of spiritual power, the jade slip emitted five rays of clear light, manifesting images of five cave dwellings in mid-air.
Chen Xuan glanced over and felt that the auras of the five caves seemed to be similar, but he couldn't see any difference in the others, so he asked: "Tell me about these five caves, which one is the most worth choosing?"
"Senior Brother Chen, the locations of these five caves are almost the same. They are all located in the richest spiritual place of our Qingyang Mountain Range. However, one of the caves is slightly larger than the other four. In addition to the alchemy room, the weapon refining room and other inner rooms, there are also
There is an extra small medicine field where medicinal herbs can be grown. This cave was left behind by a deceased Nascent Soul Immortal, and no one has ever lived in it."
Chen Xuan heard that there was such a good cave but no one stayed in it. There must be something fishy about it, so he asked again: "Why has no one stayed in it?"
"Ahem, Senior Brother Chen, it's like this. To stay in a cave, you need to pay spiritual stones to the sect every year. As for how much you have to pay, it depends on the location of the cave. The cave left by the Nascent Soul Stage Immortal Leader requires more than the other four.
There are many spiritual stones that none of the brothers and sisters in the Golden Core stage can afford, so they have been left empty."
After listening to the deacon's disciple's answer, Chen Xuan knew that this cave with a small medicinal field would definitely not be cheap, but the medicinal herbs he planned to plant were one of his secrets, and it was best to plant them in a secret place.
Therefore, Chen Xuan is determined to win this cave.
"If I choose this cave, how many spiritual stones will I need to pay every year?"
The deacon disciple did not expect that Chen Xuan would really choose this most expensive cave. He was stunned for a moment before replying: "A thousand low-grade spiritual stones, or ten medium-grade spiritual stones a year."
"so much?"
Chen Xuan was slightly surprised. He was penniless now, and it was impossible for him to come up with a thousand low-grade spiritual stones.
"Senior Brother Chen, you must have got a lot of good treasures in the Phantom Mist Lei Ze. You can exchange any of them for spiritual stones without any problem."
The deacon disciple said this, but he also knew in his heart that a thousand spiritual stones every year would be difficult for a golden elixir stage monk like Chen Xuan to support.
The lifespan of monks is much longer than that of ordinary people. Golden elixir stage monks need to rely on caves to practice for two to three hundred years. Therefore, to live in a good cave, the amount of spiritual stones turned over to the sect is very huge.
If you can pay for a thousand low-grade spiritual stones in a certain few years or more than ten years, it is very normal. However, it is impossible for monks to go out to hunt for treasures to earn spiritual stones all the time. Most of their time must be spent in seclusion for cultivation, so Qingyang
No one of the Jindan monks dared to live in the cave chosen by Chen Xuan.
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Xuan still maintained his decision: "I don't have any spiritual stones with me now, but I will go out to exchange for spiritual stones in the next few days, so you can help me make arrangements first and let me live in this cave."
"This..." The leading deacon disciple looked embarrassed.
This is the first time someone has been allowed to live in a cave without paying spiritual stones.
"how?
Do you think I can't afford the money?
Don’t worry, the number of spiritual stones I need to pay for the first few days when I move in will be converted to you later.”
Hearing what Chen Xuan said, and thinking that Chen Xuan had an immortal master in the Yuan Ying stage, the leading deacon disciple could only reluctantly agree, took out a yellow token from the treasure chest where various items were stored in the Spiritual Machine Hall, and gave it to Chen Xuan.
Xuan: "Senior Brother Chen, this is the order to open that cave.
Magic weapon, you go to the door of the cave, hold the token and inject mana, and the magic formula that activates the token will appear in your mind. Only you know this magic formula, because except for the fallen immortal leader
, no one else will approach the cave with a token in hand."
Chen Xuan took the token, glanced at it, and put it into his storage bag.
"Thank you, junior brother."
After saying thank you, Chen Xuan was about to leave, but saw Xiao Han, Lian Chengkun and Yang Chao walking into the Lingji Hall.
Seeing that Chen Xuan was also here, the three of them were stunned for a moment. They still couldn't believe that Chen Xuan could come out of the Phantom Mist Lei Ze alive and be promoted to the Golden Core stage.
For mid-level sects like Qingyang Sect, the number of monks at the Golden Core stage is less than a hundred, and most of them are over fifty when they break through to the Golden Core. It is normal for them to be over a hundred years old.
And Chen Xuan, who was only twenty-six or seventeen years old, broke through the golden elixir. How could he not cause a sensation in the entire Qingyang Sect?
Xiao Han is considered to be the number one genius among the inner disciples of the Qingyang Sect. He also came back from the Huanwu Lei Ze experience and spent several months in seclusion before he was able to break through the golden elixir before he was thirty years old.
As for practicing Cheng Kun, more than seven months have passed and it has only reached the completion of the foundation building period.
Not to mention Yang Chao. After returning from experience, he only broke through the foundation building stage with the help of Fei Xianchang's various guidance and elixirs. It is almost impossible to break through the golden elixir in twenty or thirty years.
So the moment he saw Chen Xuan, Yang Chao's face turned very ugly.
Although after Chen Xuan came back, Fei Xianchang said some words of relief to Yang Chao and told Yang Chao not to be discouraged, but how could he not have any fluctuations in his heart?
"Chen Xuan, you didn't die in the phantom fog thunder?"
Yang Chao sounded unpleasant as soon as he opened his mouth. Chen Xuan's starry eyes immediately flashed coldly: "Why, do you want me to die?"
"Hmph, don't be too proud. The immortals have already launched an investigation into your matter. Now the entire sect knows that you are suspected of colluding with evil spirits. When the results come out, I will see if you can still be as carefree as you are now!"
As soon as Yang Chao finished speaking, a clear and crisp sound spread throughout the Lingji Hall.
