Hearing that Chen Xuan was willing to take her in, Que Ning was very surprised and at the same time couldn't believe it: "Senior Chen, are you really willing to take Ning'er in?
Ning'er has no talent for cultivation, so I'm afraid that she will become a burden to you."
"I can only provide you with some help in cultivation. As for the future path, you still have to walk it yourself."
Of course, Chen Xuan couldn't accept Que Ning as his disciple just because he saw Que Ning being pitiful, because he didn't have time.
At most, you can take Que Ning with you when you leave Pengying Haizhou, and then settle Que Ning in Fengchao, Zhongzhou. That would be considered your best effort.
Que Ning did not dare to imagine that she could become Chen Xuan's disciple or Taoist companion. She quickly wiped away her tears and showed an expression of extreme gratitude: "Thank you, Senior Chen, for taking me in!"
Chen Xuan nodded slightly and flew towards Fuqiu Island at full speed.
After a big battle in another sect's territory, Chen Xuan thought there would be monks chasing him, but he didn't sense the aura of the monks behind him along the way, nor was he punished by the Thunder of Heavenly Punishment dropped by Penglai Heavenly Palace. This made Chen Xuan
I couldn't help but think of Old Man Luan's attitude of not being in awe of Penglai Heavenly Palace at all.
Is Old Man Luan really not afraid of being demoted to a mortal by the thunder of punishment?
In fact, Chen Xuan didn't know that in the past three years, the various sects in Penglai Haizhou had less and less respect for Penglai Heavenly Palace. The most important reason was that for three years, the "goddess" selected from various continents worshiped Penglai day and night.
Praying to the Heavenly Palace, the weather in Pengying Haizhou never cleared up.
At first, the rainy weather only affected the lives of mortals, but as this weather lasted longer and longer, monks from all continents discovered that the concentration of spiritual energy in the world began to decrease, and the rate of decrease in spiritual energy was extremely fast.
In just three years, the concentration of heaven and earth spiritual energy in Pengying Haizhou has nearly doubled! In other words, the monks' cultivation speed has also doubled.
This is a serious problem that all the monks in the ten sea continents cannot accept. The top monks in each sea continent asked the heavenly guards sent by Penglai Tiangong to guard Fang City to ask the reason, but these heavenly guards did not give any explanation.
Penglai Heavenly Palace is located in Fenglin Continent, the spiritual center of Pengying Haizhou. However, no monk knows the specific location of Penglai Heavenly Palace. Even the Earth Immortal level cannot find it. Moreover, the top monks in Pengying Haizhou have kept a low profile for countless years and almost never come out.
He walked around and did not participate in any disputes. When the martial master of Lingbo Sect was demoted to a mortal by the thunder of punishment three years ago, those top monks seemed to have disappeared. Including the master level of each major sect, no one went to Penglai Tiangong.
.
Therefore, the monks in Pengying Haizhou could only watch the spiritual energy of heaven and earth decline day by day. Some doubters tried to use magic to disperse the dark clouds, but were surprised to find that the dark clouds covering hundreds of millions of miles of Pengying Haizhou could not be dispersed at all. It seemed that there was something hidden in them.
Some extremely powerful law of heaven and earth.
Now the monks finally understood why those top experts did not show up to solve the problem of declining spiritual energy.
After Chen Xuan took Que Ning back to Fuqiu Island Cave, he learned from Que Ning about this serious issue related to the entire Penglai Haizhou. He had a premonition that in the near future, the Haizhou monks would probably unite to resist Penglai Tiangong. After all, Penglai
The fact that the Heavenly Palace controls the weather and causes the spiritual energy to decrease is too ridiculous, overbearing, and bizarre.
In the next few days, Chen Xuan briefly gave some guidance on Que Ning's cultivation, gave Que Ning some auxiliary elixirs, and then began to refine the Thunder God Sand.
Since Old Man Luan had already refined the God of Thunder Sand, Chen Xuan only needed to erase the consciousness left by Old Man Luan on the God of Thunder Sand to use the sand for his own use.
One month later.
Chen Xuan sprinkled the refining Thunder God Sand into the Lingxi Diagram. The grains of sand immediately covered the three-color arc of the Thunder Carp, making the three-color arc more stable and improving the success rate of the Thunder Carp's advancement.
Therefore it is greatly improved.
After doing all this, Chen Xuan was finally ready to go up to Biluo Tianqiong to break through the void-returning stage.
But on the day he walked out of the cave, five monks with extraordinary aura came to Fuqiu Island.
Chen Xuan could tell at a glance that these five monks were all from the Wanmu Sect, and one of the Wanmu Sect monks he knew was Lu Dun, a high-level disciple of the Wanmu Sect who came here to patrol here not long ago.
The four monks around Lu Dun are all in the Return to Void Stage, three men and one woman. Two male cultivators are in the Return to Void Stage, and the other one is a man and a woman in the Return to Void Stage.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, I'm disturbing you again."
Lu Dunfei landed in front of the door of Chen Xuan's cave and said politely.
Chen Xuan asked slightly curiously: "Do you, Fellow Daoist Lu, have anything to do with me?"
"It's like this. Last time I came to Fuqiu Island to patrol, I saw that you, fellow Taoist Chen, were full of qi and seemed to be on the verge of breaking through the return to void stage. As we all know, the most important thing to break through the return to void stage is to go up to Biluo Tianqiong to absorb Xuanzhen.
Qi, I think Fellow Daoist Chen is a casual cultivator, so it would be a bit dangerous to go up to Biluo Tianqiong alone. I am planning to take a few junior brothers and sisters to Biluo Tianqiong to absorb the Xuanzhen Qi and condense the soul. Fellow Daoist Chen can go with us."
When Chen Xuan heard this, he said in his heart: "That's it."
This Luton failed to recruit him last time, so he took the opportunity to recruit him again this time.
However, Chen Xuan is not interested in joining the sect now. Although Wanmu Sect is one of the top five sects in Yuanzhou, becoming a guest minister of a sect means being controlled by the sect. Chen Xuan still likes to be alone.
"Thank you Daoist Lu for your kindness. I plan to go up to Biluo Tianqiong by myself instead of going with all the fellow Taoists."
Seeing that Chen Xuan actually refused, Lu Dun couldn't help but be a little surprised.
It goes without saying how dangerous Biluo Tianqiong is to a monk who has not yet broken through the Void Return Stage.
As a casual cultivator, Chen Xuan got such a good opportunity to go to Biluo Tianqiong with a large number of disciples, but he didn't appreciate it, which made him feel a little aloof and isolated.
Suddenly, Lu Dun's good impression of Chen Xuan disappeared. After saying a polite word, he took four Wanmu Sect monks and flew into the sky.
"Senior Brother Lu, this man surnamed Chen is really ignorant. Not everyone has the opportunity to make friends with our Wanmu Sect, but he actually refuses to accept your favor. I think there is no need to renew the lease to him after the lease of this cave is up.
"
Behind Lu Dun, a male cultivator who looked to be in his thirties said dissatisfiedly.
This person has been cultivating in the Wanmu Sect for more than two hundred years and has reached the Void Return Stage. He is considered a talented disciple in the Wanmu Sect. Normally he would not even look at those casual cultivators.
Lu Dun was also quite displeased with Chen Xuan's rejection, but he was a prudent man, so he just said lightly: "Let's talk about it after the expiration date."
"Senior Brother Lu, even the disciples like us have to be careful when going up to Biluo Tianqiong. I don't know where the casual cultivator named Chen got the confidence to go up alone."
The only female cultivator among the five people spoke, with a hint of contempt in her tone, "I don't think any of the three great cultivator killers named Chen can do it.
