Chen Xiao was a Feng Shui master before his death. He changed his fate to save his master, but died of old age.
When he opened his eyes, he came to a world of immortal cultivation where there...
Chen Xiao didn't even go back to Tangyan Street, but took his men straight to Jianzhai.
The host, Zheng Hong, was not at home, so a familiar steward received them. When they told the steward the purpose of their visit, the steward immediately said, "The host has told me to wait for the distinguished guests to come."
Chen Xiao was overjoyed: "So, the protective magic weapon I ordered is ready?"
The steward gave a reserved smile and said, "In order to live up to your expectations and complete it before the agreed time limit, the host made several special trips to get the protection device for the distinguished guest. He took a lot of trouble."
Chen Xiao understood the song's meaning, "I accept Master Zheng's favor, and I will definitely repay you when I have the chance."
The manager smiled even more: "Thank you, Master Chen." Everyone on Yingxian Island knew that nowadays, a favor from Chen Xiao was more useful than spirit stones.
The steward stopped when he saw that things were going well, and asked Chen Xiao and the others to wait for a moment, then took out an exquisite rectangular box: "Master Chen, please check it and see if you are satisfied."
"What your studio produces must be top quality, there must be no problem with it." While saying this politely, Chen Xiao's hands moved quickly and he opened the box swiftly.
Tong Nuonuo and Tang Ru had also heard of the protective magic weapon before, but their sect was small and weak, so they had never seen it with their own eyes. Now they came over to take a look.
Xi Yunting and Jing Hui, who were well-informed, couldn't help but look over with curiosity. Jing Hui even exclaimed in surprise: "Wow, this is the first time I've seen such a look."
In the rectangular box, there was a magic tool in the shape of a palace lantern. It had three layers of eaves, and was built like a tower. It was about 70 centimeters high, and the width and length were the same, about 25 or 26 centimeters.
The lamp body is white, and the top, eaves and edging are all made of black metal, giving it a classical ironwork feel. Chen Xiao fell in love with it at first sight.
Chen Xiao happily picked up the magic weapon, which was very heavy. He asked Jing Hui, "What shapes have you seen, Brother Jing?"
Jing Hui glanced at Xi Yunting and said, "The protective instruments of our Jin Chan Sect are all flags. The only difference is the size and color of the appearance."
Xi Yunting said succinctly: "The protective instruments of the Chongxuan Sect are all in the shape of boats."
Tong Nuonuo was curious, "Why are there so many different types of protective instruments?"
The steward smiled and explained to him, "The only difference is the appearance. The functions are basically the same. The only difference is the size of the coverage area. As for why there are so many different shapes, it is because the masters who made them are different. The masters deliberately made them according to a certain appearance to form their own unique mark. In this way, people who are knowledgeable can tell which master created this protective magic weapon at a glance."
Chen Xiao carefully placed the palace lantern-shaped magic weapon into the box, lowered his head and said, "So that's how it is. So the Grand Master of this protective magic weapon of mine prefers to make it into a palace lantern shape?"
The steward did not answer immediately. Chen Xiao looked up at him strangely. The steward touched his nose with a little embarrassment and said, "That's not the case. It's because the distinguished guest was in a hurry, so the chef could only use the existing materials at hand, so he didn't make it his usual way."
Chen Xiao frowned and asked, "Then there is nothing wrong with the function of this protective magic weapon, right?"
The steward quickly assured him, "Absolutely not, it's just a difference in shape! Your protective magic weapon is top-notch, and both its comfort and carrying range are the best that can be achieved at present."
The manager didn't dare to slow down, he couldn't let Chen Xiao be dissatisfied. Those who could afford to spend hundreds of thousands of spirit beads to customize magic tools were their big customers, regardless of whether they had tokens before.
Chen Xiao nodded in satisfaction: "That's about right. It doesn't matter if the shape is different. As long as the functions are normal, the appearance doesn't matter."
Jing Hui crossed her arms and said, "The different styles don't mean there is no impact at all, Brother Chen."
Chen Xiao turned to look at him: "What's the impact?"
Jing Hui said seriously, "The instruments made by these great masters are made to be perfect. No matter what the appearance is, it usually has a function that matches the shape. If you don't believe me, you can try to see if this palace lantern lights up."
Chen Xiao looked at him speechlessly, then turned back and fumbled with the palace lantern, inputting a little energy. As a result, the part below the two eaves and between the waist of the lowest tower slowly lit up with warm light.
Jing Hui winked at Chen Xiao, "See! Haha, this way, when you are outside in the dark, you can just use this lamp to light up, without having to go out at night."
Chen Xiao understood the surprise in those words without any effort. He couldn't escape after all and was teased by Jing Hui.
Chen Xiao was a little annoyed. They were so distracted at the time that neither of them thought of using the golden thread veil. Someone must have overheard what they were doing!
Chen Xiao coughed dryly a few times. This guy, just because he heard it accidentally, can't he just pretend it never happened? !
Chen Xiao pretended not to understand and turned off the light in the palace lantern.
It was not his style to just take a beating without fighting back. He squinted at Jing Hui and said, "According to what Brother Jing said, the protective device of the Chongxuan Sect can carry people underwater, but the one of the Jinchan Sect can only be used as a banner or a sign."
This is truly an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
Tong Nuonuo laughed, Tang Ru also smiled, Xi Yunting looked at her nose and looked at her heart, Jing Hui rolled her eyes. But he really couldn't blame Chen Xiao, who told him to be a cheapskate, even rabbits bite when they are angry, not to mention that Chen Xiao is not a person who doesn't bear grudges.
Jing Hui raised her hand and refused to fight: "I give in. You two really are two people that cannot be provoked. If there is any grudge, it will be taken right here and now."
Chen Xiao smiled slightly, and raised his chin with pride instead of shame.
The manager didn't understand anything being said here and could only stand aside obediently, fearing that he would be dragged into it and get hurt.
After all, not everyone dares to joke about the Great Immortal Sect. If the topic falls on him, should he accept it or not? He is so confused.
After that, Chen Xiao asked some more questions, and when he had no more questions, he put away the protective magic weapon and revealed his intention to leave. The steward was as if he had been pardoned, and happily sent them out.
The group walked towards Tangyan Street, and Chen Xiao asked a few people: "I will go back to Gengsheng tomorrow, do you want to go with me?"
Jing Hui said with a tired look on her face, "It's only a few days, I won't go. You guys go quickly and come back quickly, don't delay the important work."
Chen Xiao nodded, "Alright, Brother Jing, please stay and help my butler and apprentice to sort things out, so that they don't make any mistakes due to their lack of experience."
Jinghui subconsciously responded with an "OK", and after a while she blinked and reflected, wondering why she felt that her status in this training team was getting worse and worse?
Chen Xiao actually ordered him around so confidently, and he didn't even think it was wrong!
Jing Hui hurriedly looked into Xi Yunting's eyes, and gave him an accusing look: Look at this one of yours, does he still have any respect for his seniors?
Xi Yunting didn't sympathize with him at all and looked away as if nothing had happened.
It was Jinghui himself who was always out of tune and that was why he lost the little respect others had for him. Who can he blame?
Then, Tong Nuonuo and Tang Ru also said they would not go. Tang Ru needed to recuperate from her internal injuries, and Chen Xiao naturally had no objection to Tong Nuonuo accompanying her out of loyalty.
Du Rong and Liu Lang were naturally delighted to see Chen Xiao. They had a lot of things they wanted to ask Jing Hui, and Chen Xiao pushed them all to Jing Hui.
Anyway, the important things had been instructed before he left. No matter what happened in the middle, he believed Jinghui would be able to handle it.
Chen Xiaoan calmly took Xi Yunting back to the room to wash up and rest, and they said goodbye and set off the next day.
An invitation had already been sent to the Hanshan City Lord's Mansion, so Chen Xiao had no plans to visit again.
This time, Xi Yunting had already reached the Nascent Soul stage and had initially integrated the domain. Naturally, he no longer had to fear the dangers of the empty road. He took Chen Xiao and directly crossed the mountains, crossing the mountains where there were many ferocious beasts.
The distance from autumn to winter that used to take several months now only takes two days.
The Jing Kingdom Capital was several times more prosperous than when he left. The rapid changes made it almost unrecognizable to Chen Xiao.
Fortunately, the main road remained unchanged, and they soon saw the palace along the main road.
Chen Xiao walked to the palace gate and said to the guard, "Please inform that Xi Yunting of the Chongxuan Sect and the independent cultivator Chen Xiao are here to see Lord Shen."
The guard had already seen the two of them. Chen Xiao had a graceful demeanor, and Xi Yunting had an intimidating aura. It was obvious at first glance that they were high-level cultivators.
He did not dare to be negligent and politely asked the two men to wait for a moment. After entering the palace gate, he started to jog quickly.
This guard was promoted later, and had never seen Chen Xianshi show his talent in the royal city. However, he was smart and knew that such a person was not easy to offend, so he bypassed his superiors and went directly to report to the palace steward.
So, Chen Xiao and Xi Yunting stood at the palace gate for less than ten minutes, admiring the new palace gate, when the palace steward hurried out.
"Really, you two! Welcome to Jingguo again!" The palace steward respectfully and warmly invited the two to go directly into Shen Yonghe's imperial study. "His Majesty is discussing matters with the ministers in the meeting room. Please wait here for a moment."
Chen Xiao was not so arrogant as to force the leader of a country to put aside his business and come to see him, so he said, "It doesn't matter. I have time right now. Please tell Yan Xing to come and see me."
The butler showed an apologetic expression, which gave Chen Xiao a bad feeling.
"Please forgive me, Master Chen. Your Highness is out for training and is not in the royal city."
Chen Xiao was very surprised. He had never thought that Shen Yanxing would not be in the royal city. Xi Yunting asked, "Do you know where he went to practice?"
The steward thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness originally planned to stay in Hanshan City for a while, and then go to various countries in Gengsheng to practice Feng Shui while gaining experience. This time can also be regarded as a study tour, and my Majesty is very supportive."
Chen Xiao frowned, thinking that Shen Yanxing's diligence was too inappropriate at the wrong time.
Xi Yunting patted his hands and told him not to worry.
At this moment, Jingguo King Shen Yonghe walked into the imperial study with the gait of a dragon and a tiger.
Shen Yonghe smiled before he spoke: "It's been many years since we last met. I congratulate you two for your great progress in cultivation."
Chen Xiao and Xi Yunting stood up and exchanged a few polite words with Shen Yonghe. After the host and the guest sat down, Chen Xiao explained his purpose to Shen Yonghe, "…This time, the main purpose was to take Yan Xing to Taizhen Heaven Realm, but I didn't expect that by some strange coincidence, he was not here."
Shen Yonghe smiled, "This is a good thing!" He said with emotion, "It is also a blessing for my son to be able to worship under Master Chen. From now on, his future will be bright."
Chen Xiao keenly felt that Shen Yonghe's attitude towards him had changed this time. He became more respectful and enthusiastic than before.
