"Huh?" Jing Hui looked at Xi Yunting with an expression of disbelief. "You're telling me it's destiny? Seeking immortality has always been about going against the will of heaven and changing one's fate. How many of us cultivators believe in fatalism? Are you kidding?"

Xi Yunting glanced at him indifferently, shut up and stopped talking.

Jing Hui gradually restrained the expression on her face and said in astonishment: "No way, are you serious?"

Xi Yunting had not originally intended to elaborate; this sentence was already the limit.

Seeing that he was like a clam and refused to say anything, Jinghui felt so regretful that she wanted to bang her head against the wall. Why did he say that?

Now, these few words did not answer his doubts at all, but made him even more curious.

But he still wanted to save face and refused to show his inner annoyance. In fact, he was already so depressed that his life was bleak.

Xi Yunting ignored this guy whose inner thoughts were all reflected in his eyebrows. He smelled the tea and immersed himself in his thoughts.

Jing Hui's question inadvertently brought back Xi Yunting's memories.

In fact, he had been impressed by Chen Xiao the first time he met him. It was not because of his bold and focused gaze, nor because of his luck in encountering a strange person, but because of the calmness that he exuded when facing a cultivator.

Because of the prevalence of cultivating immortals in this world, there is a huge gap between mortals and practitioners, and the living spaces of each are clearly separated. If they occasionally meet, the distinction between superiors and subordinates, and between the noble and the humble, is natural.

Chen Xiao's attitude towards him and Zhao Fang was full of curiosity and respect, but not humbleness or fear. This was very different from the ordinary people around him, making him stand out like a crane among chickens.

A mortal boy with a strange attitude and some luck. This was Xi Yunting's initial impression of Chen Xiao.

The subsequent chance encounters only deepened the impression of Chen Xiao in his mind.

What really made him want to have a deeper connection with this person was the time when Chen Xiao left the valley and Du Rong was implicated in his bad luck and almost got into danger.

This was the first time anyone had survived his fate unscathed.

Don’t be fooled by Xi Yunting’s aloof and cold attitude, as this is actually caused by his environment and not his innate character.

Staying away from people for a long time and avoiding close friendships with people actually makes Xi Yunting feel lonely. He is strong and can overcome this loneliness, but it doesn't mean he likes it or enjoys it.

So, when he met Chen Xiao, the only person who was not affected by his bad luck, he followed him almost without thinking.

At first, he was just trying to find out the truth. The longer they spent together, the more he inevitably liked Chen Xiao. Gradually, this feeling accumulated over time and he couldn't control it and it turned into love, which entangled Chen Xiao.

Deep down, he was aware of the changes in his emotions, but he had been avoiding them and didn't dare to admit it. It wasn't until Chen Xiao was poisoned by the viper that the barriers in his heart suddenly collapsed.

This emotion made Xi Yunting's subtle emotions become more vivid. He was sure that the only person in the world who could easily affect his emotions was Chen Xiao.

The questions that had been puzzling him for a long time were finally answered because of Twin Reds.

It turns out that Xiaodi is not from this heavenly world, he comes from another world!

At that moment, Xi Yunting sincerely thanked God for sending Chen Xiao to him.

It also made him firmly believe that this was a fate that was destined for him alone.

Jinghui fully experienced the consequences of not being able to act as a qualified supporting actor.

For the next period of time, no matter how he brought up the topic, Xi Yunting responded indifferently.

Even though Jinghui was deeply hurt by the result, she could only hold back her tears and force a smile. It was his own fault.

With Chen Xiao's strong financial support, the complete range of materials on the Mechanical Island, the right time, right place and right people, the two completed this collaboration in just half a month.

The door opened, and Chen Xiao, in high spirits, and Tong Nuonuo, with disheveled hair and a dirty face, walked out one after the other.

Xi Yunting reacted the fastest. He immediately stood up and walked towards Chen Xiao.

"Brother Xiao? Is it done?" While asking, his eyes were already looking impatiently towards Chen Xiao's right hand.

"Yeah!" Chen Xiao was even more excited. He nodded heavily, "Brother, there is another surprise, look!"

Chen Xiao raised his right hand, and a golden light spot slowly opened in the palm of his hand and gradually emerged and shone. A round disc-shaped object appeared in the shining golden light.

Xi Yunting had excellent eyesight. Even in such a dazzling light, he could clearly see the densely packed circles in the center of the disk covered with all kinds of unknown characters. In the very center, there was a thin pointer with two pointed ends that was constantly rotating.

Isn’t this the compass given to him by his master that Xiaodi has mentioned to him many times and is hidden in his sea of ​​consciousness?

Xi Yunting's eyes showed surprise, and Jing Hui also exclaimed in surprise: "Brother Chen, is this your life-defining magic weapon?"

Tong Nuonuo yawned, scratched his messy hair, and said sleepily: "Xiaoxiao, this is considered my life weapon, after all, it is innate."

Chen Xiao turned his head and looked at him with a smile. Even though his friend was so sleepy that his head was a mess, he still remembered to cover for him.

As their friendship deepened, the smart Tong Nuonuo had already known about the unusualness of Chen Xiao, but was considerate enough not to explore it.

Objects like these that emerge from the body include ordinary spiritual imprinted magical instruments as well as precious natal magical instruments.

There are two types of natal magic weapons: acquired and innate. The innate ones are also called companion magic weapons, which are magic weapons that one has since birth. Only those who have failed in ascending to heaven can be reborn with them.

Before, Chen Xiao was just an ordinary mortal without spiritual roots. It was obvious that he could not be the reincarnation of a powerful being who failed to ascend to heaven, so he seemed abnormal.

He had never sacrificed or refined a magical weapon before, let alone a so-called natal magical weapon, so this compass that suddenly appeared became very strange.

Tong Nuonuo's words directly determined Chen Xiao's nature.

Most practitioners are wary of such people who were once powerful, not only because of their own abilities, but also because of their relatives and friends when they were alive. Few dare to make plans against them openly.

Jing Hui didn't think too much about it and didn't realize that Tong Nuonuo was just targeting him. He just thought that the stronger Chen Xiao was, the better.

He hummed and nodded, without saying anything else.

When Xi Yunting stood beside Chen Xiao, the compass emitting golden light fell into Chen Xiao's palm and completely manifested itself into a physical entity.

Hiding the shock in his heart, Xi Yunting gently stroked the compass with his fingers.

The compass is a deep amber color, carved from solid wood, with natural brown wood grain, a layer of patina on the surface, and smooth to the touch. The recessed marks on the characters have been worn away by time, and the thick and rounded arc reveals vicissitudes.

"What is this?" Xi Yunting couldn't suppress the surprise in his heart and looked up to meet Chen Xiao's eyes.

Facing his puzzled look, Chen Xiao nodded at him.

Xi Yunting took a deep breath. The compass that carried Chen Xiao across the alien world actually transformed from an illusion into a reality!

Xi Yunting has read many classics, but has never seen a magic weapon of the same type.

Yes! With this magical ability, this compass can be called a magic weapon.

Xi Yunting thought for a moment and said softly to Chen Xiao, "Since that's the case, you should use it well." As he said this, he pressed a button on the compass.

Chen Xiao understood what he meant. He was telling him to be careful not to show any abnormality and to use it as an ordinary magic weapon.

It is a crime to possess a treasure, this is an eternal truth no matter where you are, not to mention the even more cruel living environment in the world of immortal cultivation.

Tong Nuonuo's words, however, unexpectedly hit the mark, providing Chen Xiao with an excellent cover. The life magic weapon is always more low-key than the life magic treasure.

Tong Nuonuo yawned again. There was darkness under his eyes. Even with the physique of an immortal cultivator, he had two big dark circles under his eyes.

He was trying not to sleep at this moment, but was curious about Chen Xiao's companion magic weapon.

He said in a sleepy voice: "Xiaoxiao, try the power of your magic weapon."

Chen Xiao paused and hesitantly gripped the heavy compass.

When he was alive, there was nothing special about the master's compass. The reason why it is precious is that it was made by the master and accompanied the master for most of his life.

Apart from the possibility that it has been contaminated by the master's vital energy after experiencing various Feng Shui events, there is no indication that this compass has any special abilities.

Who could have thought that after his death, he would be resurrected through the hands of his master under the influence of this compass.

This compass has undergone repeated refinement as he has, and is also constantly evolving. Perhaps it will also develop a unique spirituality like the magic weapons in this world.

With anticipation welling up in his heart, Chen Xiao tried to operate the compass.

The compass flew up lightly and danced flexibly in the air under Chen Xiao's command.

Everyone present was looking at the compass. Chen Xiao's face showed surprise and joy. He became happier and more excited.

It’s so easy, as natural as breathing!

Operating the compass was easier than he had imagined. It was like an extension of his body. As soon as a thought came into his mind, the compass moved according to his instructions.

Only now did Chen Xiao understand why Xi Yunting was able to command the heavy sword Xue Feng so nimbly. It turned out that it was so satisfying to command it as if it were his own arm.

Tong Nuonuo tried hard to keep his eyelids open. He said to Chen Xiao in an unstable tone: "In addition to moving, try the other functions of this magic weapon. Huha——" He yawned continuously, "A magic weapon must have a function after all."

As soon as Chen Xiao thought about it, the compass immediately gave him feedback.

This compass really did have a function, but it required him to use his energy to activate it. At this moment, the compass was flying easily, relying entirely on its own stored energy.

If Chen Xiao wants to use its special function, he needs to consume the energy it stores.

Chen Xiao almost reached the Golden Core stage when he was in the Shenzhou Atlas. Although he had consumed a lot of energy in the previous battle, he could replenish it after completing a few orders.

If he tried the skills in the compass now, Chen Xiao had a feeling that one big move would consume a circle of stored energy.

Who knows when he will be able to accumulate enough to advance? It would be better to wait until he reaches the golden elixir stage before trying again.
