The person Zhen Shou wanted to meet was Xi Yunting, the head of the Zhongxuan Sect's Office, but Jing Hui took the initiative to invite Chen Xiao to go with him. His original intention was good, and he wanted Chen Xiao to increase his network of contacts. After Chen Xiao found out that he didn't really need to go, he politely declined.

Jing Hui was urging him a little too hastily, but Xi Yunting didn't say much. He just looked at Chen Xiao deeply and followed the person who came.

Chen Xiao sat on the chair and sighed. If there was nothing wrong with his arm, he would not miss the opportunity to meet and learn more, but now he was not in the mood to expand his network.

"Teacher?" Liu Lang stood aside and called carefully, "Why don't you go with Master Xi? The one guarding the Luochen gathering point is a spiritual practitioner in the Out-of-Body Stage, which is rarely seen on weekdays."

Chen Xiao came back to his senses, smiled at him, and said, "This meeting will discuss things I already know. I might as well practice drawing talismans with this time."

He stood up and walked towards the side room that served as a study: "Come, prepare the paint for me."

Liu Lang hurriedly followed and waited for Chen Xiao to stand in front of the desk and lay out all the materials for preparing the paint. Then he carefully mixed them according to Chen Xiao's instructions.

With Liu Lang's current mental strength, he can already draw all the paper talismans that Chen Xiao currently uses. What he lacks is only the vitality and basic skills of drawing talismans.

Chen Xiao now asked him to help him prepare the painting materials, which can be regarded as a kind of training, so Liu Lang did not dare to be careless at all.

After Liu Lang prepared the painting materials and stood aside, Chen Xiao took a deep breath and sat quietly in front of the table for a while before he picked up the pen with his left hand and began to draw the spirit-calling talisman on the talisman paper.

This was originally the most basic introductory spell, but Chen Xiao drew it with soft, trembling lines. Compared with the dragon-like strokes of his right hand, his left hand was like a child who had just picked up a pen to scribble.

Liu Lang felt reluctant to watch, but Chen Xiao remained calm and finished drawing the rune one stroke at a time.

Incorrect rune lines resulted in the paper talisman being a failure.

His forehead was slightly sweaty, and Chen Xiao's face was a little pale after he finished painting. Although his left hand was not very good at painting, he did not save any mental energy at all, but consumed more energy than he succeeded.

Chen Xiao raised his hand and looked down at the paper talisman to summarize his experience of failure. After a long while, he changed a new talisman paper and said to Liu Lang without raising his head, "Don't just stand there, go and draw it too, don't waste your practice. The Huaiyin Patriarch is waiting for you somewhere, and sooner or later there will be a fierce battle. The sooner you prepare, the better your chances of winning."

"Yes!" Liu Lang was shocked. He turned around and went to the low table beside the Arhat bed, spread out his pen, ink and talisman paper and started drawing talismans.

Chen Xiao continued painting until it was dark and the lights were turned on. He did not stop until Xi Yunting came back, and his wrist became stiff and sore.

His hands were shaking so much that he couldn't hold the spoon steadily. Xi Yunting frowned slightly, and without caring about Liu Lang who was standing beside him, he picked up the bowl himself and planned to feed Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao was stiff all over, and was reluctant to open his mouth. Xi Yunting was just as persistent, and the spoon with food was resting on his lips without moving.

Liu Lang felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and felt that his presence was totally unnecessary. Staying any longer would be a grave sin. He swallowed two local specialty rice balls in one gulp, drank up the soup in the bowl in one go, and then left.

With only two people left at the dinner table, Chen Xiao's shoulders relaxed and Xi Yunting no longer frowned. He gently touched Chen Xiao's lips with the spoon, and he then shyly opened his mouth and let the other party serve him while he finished the meal.

From then on, Chen Xiao no longer dared to draw talismans until he was unable to lift his wrist.

In the next few days, Xi Yunting and Jing Hui would go to the town to discuss things every day. What was originally just a small fight between a group of Buddhist practitioners that was ignored by the natives gradually evolved into a major event involving Luo Chen's immortal cultivators and the local spiritual practitioners.

Master and apprentice Chen Xiao and Liu Lang were busy practicing all day long.

Liu Lang was busy integrating his previous fighting experience into the new system, while Chen Xiao was busy adapting to how to fight with his non-dominant hand.

Although the two did not take the initiative to pay attention to the progress, they were well-informed. Every day when Xi Yunting came back, he would inform them of the latest situation.

With the presence of Jing Hui of the Jin Chan Sect and Xi Yunting of the Zhong Xuan Sect, two of the three major sects of the Luochen Great Heaven Realm, the importance of this matter forced the garrison commander to treat it seriously. Even though he was half-believing and half-doubting, he still sent his spiritual practitioners to investigate.

It turned out that the investigation was insignificant and the situation was more serious than people had previously expected.

In addition to the evil cultivators and evil ways gathered by the Huaiyin Patriarch, there were also evil spirits involved. If the evil cultivators attacked the original gathering point just to take advantage and kill the righteous to enhance their own reputation, then the evil spirits' purpose was much more vicious. They wanted to destroy all living things and occupy the original gathering point!

No matter how the spiritualists don't take the immortal cultivators seriously, it is undeniable that the immortal cultivators support the foundation of the entire Shenzhou Atlas and drive the development of the indigenous people. Only with the continuous arrival of immortal cultivators can the indigenous people be brought prosperity and greater vitality.

The spiritual practitioners and the immortal cultivators seemed to be unrelated, but they were actually in a symbiotic relationship. As long as there was an opportunity, the evil spiritual practitioners would certainly not miss an opportunity to seize territory. With the support of the evil cultivators, they would be more confident in dealing with the subsequent counterattack.

There are more than one Atlas Tower in Xiayuan in Luochen Great Heaven Realm. Even if this place is occupied by evil cultivators, there are other Atlas Towers that can lead to entering the Shenzhou Atlas. There is no need to fight to the death with the evil cultivators.

Luo Chen's cultivators have room to retreat, but the local indigenous people do not, as this is their homeland.

When the garrison learned of the severity of the situation, the indigenous people were quickly mobilized. The spiritual practitioners were organized into teams and sent in groups to the places where the Buddhist practitioners had set up ambushes, forming lines of defense.

Things had developed to this point, and although the Buddhists who had been robbed of the best terrain were unhappy, they had no choice but to give up their place. As the situation was stronger than people, they could only go from being the main force to being non-staff members.

The Xiayuan gathering point was filled with preparations and the atmosphere was tense for a few days. Finally, the slowly advancing Huaiyin Patriarch arrived nearby and met up with Cheng Gu.

The blood stain technique released on Jing Hui was still working. He was as bright as a beacon in the darkness. Although the Huaiyin Patriarch was slow, he ran straight towards Xiayuan.

Cheng Gu arrived half a month earlier than the Huaiyin Patriarch, so the movements of the righteous side could not be hidden from the evil cultivators. The news that the Huaiyin Patriarch was chasing his enemies and attacking the Xiayuan gathering point had already spread among the evil cultivators. Many evil cultivators who had not received the bounty also came to join, hoping to fish in troubled waters.

Cheng Gu accepted everyone who came and happily accepted this group of evil cultivators who did not know the seriousness of the matter and did not know how to live or die.

By the time Patriarch Huaiyin arrived, more and more evil spiritual practitioners had gathered here, including many in the Nascent Soul stage, and even one in the Out-of-Body stage.

Not only did these people act arrogantly when they arrived, they also took over the command. Cheng Gu gave up his position unexpectedly and easily, and when the Huaiyin Patriarch arrived, he had no intention of taking it back.

This intriguing attitude did not attract the attention of the evil spiritual practitioners at first. Instead, they secretly mocked the Huaiyin Patriarch for being strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

Before they knew it, the Xiayuan gathering point was surrounded. One day, when the righteous people found that they could no longer take a single step out of the Xiayuan gathering point, the great battle surrounding the Xiayuan gathering point finally began.

When the war first broke out, Chen Xiao was unaware of it. Just like the previous few days, he got up in the morning, practiced his body movements, and then started drawing talismans.

Now, he can draw talismans with his left hand very fluently and rarely makes any mistakes. As long as he is given more time, Chen Xiao is confident that he can draw paper talismans that are truly effective.

"Boom boom boom--" There was a loud explosion, Chen Xiao's hand shook, and a piece of paper talisman was ruined.

Chen Xiao frowned, raised his head and said to Liu Lang: "Go and see where the noise is coming from."

Liu Lang took the order and left. A moment later, he ran back in a hurry: "Teacher, there's a war outside!"

Chen Xiao didn't know whether he should be nervous or relieved. It finally came to this.

He stood up calmly and said, "Don't panic, follow the established plan, I'll go call your Uncle Xi."

Originally, the task of passing on messages was done by the younger generation. In view of the relationship between Chen Xiao and Xi Yunting, Liu Lang never acted as a light bulb and was extremely tactful, which made Master Xi very satisfied.

Chen Xiao and Xi Yunting's rooms were next to each other, and because their rooms were quite large, the distance between their doors was a bit far. Chen Xiao came to Xi Yunting's door, and without knocking, he pushed the door open and entered.

At this time, Xi Yunting was sitting cross-legged on the Arhat bed by the window, maintaining his heavy sword. The huge and sharp blade was chilling and full of momentum.

Without Chen Xiao saying anything, Xi Yunting had already grasped Xue Feng's sword hilt, and a cold light flashed in his dark eyes.

This was not the first battle Chen Xiao had experienced. In Hanshan City, he had encountered immortal cultivators of different positions and camps fighting to the death. It was a battle that uprooted dozens of immortal cultivation families, and it was extremely tragic and bloody.

However, the cruelty and bloodiness were not even one tenth of the brutality of the battle before him.

In the field of vision, there were figures fighting each other everywhere, with righteous people killing evil cultivators, and evil spiritual cultivators killing indigenous spiritual cultivators. Every moment, people were bleeding on the spot, with their heads and bodies separated.

Chen Xiao's ears were filled with noisy sounds. The friction sounds of various spells and the shouts of fighting people were intertwined into one, deafening.

This was the first time that Liu Lang, a veteran practitioner, had seen such a grand scene. He and Chen Xiao were both shocked and stood there in a daze.

At this time, Xi Yunting patted his shoulder and said, "You guys stay here with those fellow Buddhist practitioners. Don't leave the range of the defense shield."

Because of their lack of combat power, Chen Xiao and Liu Lang were assigned to do logistical work, which meant they just had to stay behind.

The two were very self-aware, and their previous efforts were only to improve their self-protection capabilities, and they had no intention of stepping forward to fight others.

Xi Yunting sent Chen Xiao to the place, watched him meet up with several Buddhist practitioners in the Foundation Establishment Stage, then turned around and rushed into the air, looking for Ancestor Huaiyin.

Although Chen Xiao and Liu Lang rarely showed up after they came, these Buddhists were very impressed by Chen Xiao. But not everyone is qualified to be valued by people like Jing Hui and Xi Yunting, so they were naturally very polite when they had the opportunity to make friends with them.

Seeing that Chen Xiao and Liu Lang were both paying close attention to the battle situation outside, he took the initiative to cast a spell to open his eyes, allowing him to see farther and wider.
