Chapter 153 Face

"Uncle Master, Elder An from Yaowang Peak invites you to come over for tea." Ding Xiaoxia stood outside the door and handed over the invitation sent by Yaowang Peak.

During this period, he basically ran errands for Chen Luo. Chen Luo did not treat him badly, and gave him a lot of pills and pointed out some mistakes in his practice, which made Ding Xiaoxia very grateful.

Huang Ying had also recovered and was sitting quietly on the side. She still hadn't come to her senses.

Senior brother has established his foundation!!

When Huang Ying woke up and heard the news, she was completely dumbfounded.

It's only been three years, not thirty years!

She had never heard of anyone being able to build a foundation so quickly. Huang Ying even suspected that she had slept too long and had hallucinations in her brain.

"I see."

Chen Luo stretched out his hand, and the invitation in Ding Xiaoxia's hand automatically flew over and fell into his hand.

"Senior Sister Shen is fine."

After reading it, Chen Luo handed the invitation to Huang Ying. She was still worried about Senior Sister Shen. This time, the situation was too dangerous. If it weren't for Senior Sister Shen's risking her life, she would definitely not have been able to escape.

"ah?"

Huang Ying quickly took it and took a look. The message was written by Elder An of Yaowang Peak himself. The words still had the spiritual power of a foundation-building cultivator, so there was no possibility of forgery. The content of the invitation was also very simple. The first paragraph congratulated Chen Luo for successfully building his foundation and officially entering the immortal path. The second paragraph roughly described the cause and effect of the incident. The whole paragraph was full of "misunderstandings" and the tone was like someone who was ready to be a peacemaker.

"Brother, how are you going to deal with this?"

Huang Ying was a little worried.

The head of Yaowang Peak came forward. In her opinion, he was already a very important person, on the same level as her own master. Senior brother had just established his foundation, so he was definitely not a match for these old peak masters.

"Why don't we just forget it? We're all fine anyway," Huang Ying said in a low voice.

She was still not used to her senior brother becoming her uncle, and she would subconsciously call Chen Luo senior brother every time she spoke. Until now, she still recalled the scene of saying goodbye to her senior brother when she left the mountain three years ago. At that time, she even imagined that her senior brother would go back to her hometown in Sheguo with her to start a family of immortal cultivators.

"Don't worry, I will take care of this matter." Chen Luo knew Huang Ying's worries and comforted her with a smile.

"Take good care of your injuries. Once you recover, find a garrison mission and go down the mountain."

Due to the sect's rules, some things cannot be said explicitly, but Chen Luo still hinted at it, believing that Huang Ying would understand with her intelligence.

Huang Ying was puzzled at first, but then she thought of something and her expression suddenly changed.

Thinking of her senior brother's identity as a foundation-building cultivator, she instantly understood.

"Thank you, Brother."

Huang Ying thanked him.

"I'm going to Yaowang Peak."

Chen Luo stood up and walked out.

He was no longer planning to stay in the Shenhu Xianmen. He had already learned everything he could during this period of time. Staying any longer would only make him more entangled with the Shenhu Xianmen. It would be better for him to leave as soon as possible.

He didn't care what Elder An of Yaowang Peak's attitude was.

Yaowang Peak.

Chen Luo flew over on his sword and landed directly at the innermost courtyard of Yaowang Peak.

The layout of Yaowang Peak is completely different from that of Wudao Peak.

There is an elegant courtyard on the top of the peak, which is full of flowers and plants, and the fragrance of plants drifts in the courtyard. In the middle is an artificially opened lake, with a pavilion in the middle of the lake, and a three-meter diameter spirit gathering array carved at the bottom of the pavilion.

This is the place with the most abundant spiritual energy on Yaowang Peak. Different from the training hall of Wuwei Zhenren, Elder An of Yaowang Peak obviously knows how to enjoy life better.

Elder An sat in the middle of the pavilion, his bamboo chair swaying. Two female disciples from Yaowang Peak stood on his left and right, fanning him with the palm-leaf fans in their hands.

Not far from him, Elder Qu from the Divine Fire Peak was also sitting in the pavilion, slowly brewing tea, with a disciple beside him. This disciple was taciturn and as silent as a wooden stake.

“Here I come.”

Elder Qu from Shenhuo Peak, who was brewing tea, put down the teacup in his hand and spoke.

Elder An next to him also stopped what he was doing. The two of them stood up at the same time and flew out, leaving only three disciples standing in the pavilion, not daring to move around.

"He actually built his foundation."

The disciples of the Divine Fire Peak who followed Elder Qu looked at the figure falling from the sky, and a trace of envy flashed in their eyes. This person was none other than Lian Qiang, the disciple of the Divine Fire Peak who had done a mission with Chen Luo.

A few years have passed, and Lian Qiang's cultivation has improved, but he is still in the late stage of Qi Refining, and there is still a distance to the perfection of Qi Refining. His cultivation speed is not slow, but compared with Chen Luo, it is inevitably a little bit inferior. Looking back now, the so-called newcomer competition is really meaningless.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, you are half an hour later than the invitation time."

Looking at Chen Luo who was falling down, Elder Qu said with a smile.

"I'm sorry to have kept you two elders waiting for so long. I didn't expect Elder Qu to come."

Chen Luo glanced at Elder Qu and spoke.

"Elder Chen, nice to meet you."

Elder An looked at Chen Luo and a fake smile also appeared on his face. They were all foundation-building cultivators, so no matter what they felt inside, they still had to show the right attitude on the surface.

"I just happened to meet him. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."

Elder Qu laughed, and as he spoke the three of them returned to the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

The three Qi Refining Realm disciples had already withdrawn, as had Lian Qiang. They, the Qi Refining Realm disciples, were not qualified to participate in the exchanges between the Foundation Establishment cultivators, unless a senior specifically named them.

"I have already explained what happened in the invitation letter. It was all a misunderstanding between some Qi Refining juniors."

After sitting down, Elder An began to speak.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he defined the matter as a misunderstanding. This was Elder An's attitude. He invited Chen Luo to come over just to act as a peacemaker.

Chen Luo glanced at the man and said nothing.

"Since it's a misunderstanding, just talk it out. We are all elders of the Immortal Sect, there's no need to ruin the harmony over such a small matter. If it gets out of hand, the Sect Master will also be unhappy." Elder Qu next to him said at the right time.

While taking into account the face of Chen Luo, who had just entered the foundation-building stage, he also pointed out his identity.

They are all elders of the Shenhu Immortal Sect. Even if they are dissatisfied, they have to stay within the circle. Don’t forget that there is a sect master in the Jindan stage above them. The place where the three of them are sitting now is the sect master’s dojo.

"What Elder Qu said makes sense."

Chen Luo nodded, looking very easy to talk to. He was ready to go down the mountain now, so he would not let go of this fat sheep that came to his door.

The energy consumed in breaking through the foundation building process must be compensated, and Junior Sister Huang Ying also needs to be compensated. If the other party gives enough, it is not impossible to spare their lives and just destroy their cultivation.

Seeing Chen Luo surrender, Elder An's smile widened.

This newly appointed elder is very aware of the current situation.

"I won't let Elder Chen suffer any loss either."

As he spoke, Elder An waved his sleeves, and a pile of spirit stones appeared in the pavilion, with a small gourd of Qi-nourishing pills placed next to it.

"This is five thousand spirit stones and a gourd of top-grade nourishing qi pills, which adds up to almost ten thousand spirit stones."

Ten thousand spirit stones?

"No more?"

The smile on Chen Luo's face faded.

This was treating him like a fool. Ten thousand spirit stones sounded like a lot, but in the first-class training room on Shenhu Peak, ten thousand spirit stones were only enough for ten days of training. For a foundation-building cultivator, this amount of spirit stones was not enough to send off a disciple. Not to mention that the so-called "worth ten thousand spirit stones" also included a gourd of Qi-nourishing Pills, and the actual value might be less than seven thousand spirit stones.

"This is 10,000 spirit stones, which adds up to more than 20,000 spirit stones. What do you think, Elder Chen? We are all elders of the Immortal Sect. When you take over Tianming Peak in the future, you will inevitably have to deal with us at Yaowang Peak. It will not be good for both you and me if things get too awkward."

Upon hearing this, Elder An took out another storage bag, and his expression was not as good as before.

"As a senior, I still hope that Fellow Daoist Chen can consider this carefully."

Twenty thousand spirit stones?

Senior? We are all in the initial stage of foundation building. Why are you acting like a senior in front of me?

Chen Luo glanced at the other person and didn't even bother to say anything.

He was already thinking about leaving for a while, then finding an opportunity to come back and crush the five Tribulation Cultivators to death, and dig up the back mountain of Yaowang Peak while he was at it, so that those seniors lying down could come out and get some fresh air!

"Elder Chen, if you have any opinions, please speak up. We are all elders of the immortal sect." Seeing this, Elder Qu also started to persuade him.

He had wanted to invite Chen Luo again this time to accept the elder token and serve as the master of Tianming Peak. He didn't expect things to become so awkward. The most important thing was that old man An had no intention of backing down and was clearly bullying Chen Luo because he had just established his foundation.

"What about the five people?"

Chen Luo did not respond to Elder Qu's words, but asked a question.

"Situ Feng, the rest of you come over and meet Elder Chen." Elder An, sitting in his seat, spoke to the five disciples in the distance.

The five Tribulation Cultivators who had been hiding and watching from a distance quickly flew over.

They didn't dare to approach Chen Luo and could only stand timidly behind Elder An.

"Greetings, Master. Elder Qu, Elder Chen."

The leader of the robbery cultivators, Situ Feng, immediately lowered his head and saluted to Chen Luo and Elder Qu.

"Your master said that if I give you 20,000 spirit stones, the matter will be settled."

Chen Luo glanced at the five people, memorized their appearances, and at the same time picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.

Twenty thousand spirit stones?

"I sold all the spiritual fields of the Situ family to you, and you only take this little bit?"

Situ Feng cursed the old man in his heart for being greedy, but on the surface he remained extremely respectful.

"Everything is decided by the Master."

“Not bad, not bad.”

Chen Luo put down the teacup and suddenly said something with a smile.

"I admire young people like you who know the current situation."

When everyone thought he had given in, he suddenly stood up and said something to Elder Qu.

"Elder Qu, let's end today's business here. I still have a furnace of elixirs to refine on Wudao Peak, so I won't delay any more."

As he spoke, he did not forget to take away the elixirs and spirit stones that Elder An had taken out.

Twenty thousand spirit stones are still spirit stones and cannot be wasted.

"No."

Elder An's face was gloomy, and when he saw that Chen Luo didn't even want to mention his name, his expression wasn't much better.

"Alas, we are all from the same sect. Why does it come to this because of some conflicts among the younger generation?" Elder Qu sighed and did not try to persuade us to stay.
