The Xuan Turtle Clan Chief was slightly taken aback. He had only been being polite, and he had assumed that Envoy Cui was in a hurry to go to the Nether Serpent Clan and would not stay here.

Unexpectedly, Envoy Cui readily agreed and even requested to meet Chen Tianwen again.

This is not actually the fault of the Xuan Turtle Clan Chief. Chen Tianwen did not tell the Xuan Turtle Clan Chief that the Cui Saint Envoy and his party came from the Nether Serpent Clan.

But now that the words had been spoken, the Xuan Turtle Clan Chief had no choice but to lead the way while sending Xuan Cang to inform Chen Tianwen.

Xuan Cang naturally knew that the people of the Holy Cloud Sect were not easy to deal with. This time, his initiative to meet Chen Tianwen was probably a bad omen for Chen Tianwen.

Therefore, Xuan Cang dared not delay and flew straight towards Chen Tianwen.

"Mr. Chen, something terrible has happened! Mr. Chen, something terribly wrong!"

Before Xuan Cang's men even arrived, his voice came first.

Chen Tianwen was slightly surprised. This Elder Xuancang was always known for his composure, so why was he so flustered and out of control today?

At this moment, Ming Quan was also in Chen Tianwen's room. The two were discussing how the Ming Snake Clan should deal with the situation. Upon hearing that Xuan Cang had arrived, they both stopped talking and got up to greet Elder Xuan Cang.

"Elder Xuancang, what happened? Why are you so flustered?"

Knowing the urgency of the situation, Xuan Cang briefly recounted what had just happened to Chen Tianwen.

Chen Tianwen frowned slightly, then turned to Ming Quan and said:

"Elder, please use a secret method to inform your clan leader of what happened here. I'll go and meet with the people from the Holy Cloud Sect!"

Ming Quan nodded, but worried about Chen Tian's safety, he spoke with concern:

"Mr. Chen, the envoy Cui from the Holy Cloud Sect is said to be a Confucian scholar. He appears amiable, but is actually narrow-minded. However, he enjoys flattery. Mr. Chen, you must act accordingly!"

Chen Tianwen nodded, feeling a greater understanding. After bidding farewell to Ming Quan, he left with Xuan Cang.

Along the way, Xuan Cang kept telling Chen Tianwen to be careful. Chen Tianwen just nodded, already having a plan in mind.

The two soon arrived at the palace of the Xuan Turtle Clan Chief, where the chief had hosted a banquet for Cui Shengshi and his disciples.

Chen Tianwen didn't linger and stepped inside.

This was a large living room. As soon as Chen Tianwen stepped in, he discovered that this place was a hidden paradise.

In the center was a huge stone table, a hundred meters square. Envoy Cui sat in the head seat, while the chief of the Xuan Turtle Clan sat below him. Envoy Cui's disciples were scattered around and seated in various places.

Beside the stone table was a lake a hundred meters wide, in which various mythical beasts danced. Every now and then, an elder of the Xuan Turtle Clan would capture a mythical beast, and then quickly prepare it before placing it on the stone table for the group to enjoy.

Chen Tianwen clicked his tongue slightly, never expecting that the usually honest and simple Xuan Turtle clan would have such a luxurious side.

Upon seeing Chen Tianwen arrive, the Xuan Turtle Clan Chief stood up with a beaming smile and introduced him to Envoy Cui:

"Envoy Cui, this is Emperor Dan, Mr. Chen Tianwen!"

The Xuan Turtle Clan Chief also walked to Chen Tianwen's side and began to introduce him:

"Mr. Chen, this is Envoy Cui from the Holy Cloud Sect, the number one sect in our Xuanxian Realm! Envoy Cui is not only a powerful Immortal Lord, but also a pillar of the Holy Cloud Sect, and is highly valued by the Sect Master!"

After the Xuan Turtle Clan Chief introduced the two, Chen Tianwen and Cui Shengshi exchanged greetings.

With a beaming smile, Envoy Cui addressed Chen Tianwen, saying:

"Mr. Chen's medical skills are superb; I've heard that he has completely surpassed Qi Danwang of Danwang City. He can be considered the number one alchemist in our Xuanxian Realm!"

Chen Tianwen put on a humble and fearful expression and said:

"You flatter me, Envoy Cui. My alchemy skills are nothing special."

Envoy Cui laughed heartily, waved his hand, and said to Chen Tianwen:

"Mr. Chen, you are too modest. Please take a seat."

Chen Tianwen's face showed even greater fear. He waved his hands repeatedly and said:

“What merit or ability do I possess to sit at the same table as Envoy Cui? It is already a great fortune for me to stand beside Envoy Cui and listen to his teachings. I absolutely must not take a seat.”

Chen Tianwen's display of fear sent chills down the spine of the Xuan Turtle Clan Chief, but Cui Shengshi was completely swayed by it.

In the past, Cui Shengshi had met many alchemists, but none of them were without their arrogance.

Although most people wouldn't dare offend Envoy Cui because of his status as the Envoy of the Holy Cloud Sect, that's all there is to it. These alchemists wouldn't fawn over Envoy Cui like that.

But Chen Tianwen is different now. Although his alchemy skills have surpassed those of Qi Danwang, he is not arrogant at all. On the contrary, he is very respectful to me. How could Cui Shengshi not like him?

Finally, after Cui Shengshi repeatedly conceded, Chen Tianwen reluctantly sat down.

However, Chen Tianwen, who was sitting to the right of Envoy Cui, was indeed sitting upright and proper. Whenever Envoy Cui spoke, Chen Tianwen would turn his body slightly to the side and pretend to listen attentively.

When Envoy Cui spoke with Chen Tianwen, Chen Tianwen would bow slightly and listen attentively to what Envoy Cui had to say. When the Envoy Cui spoke of something particularly insightful, Chen Tianwen would even stand up and bow to Envoy Cui!

Chen Tianwen's performance made Cui Shengshi like him more and more, and he kept praising Cui Shengshi.

Later, during the banquet, Cui Shengshi did not shy away from Chen Tianwen and discussed the matter of entering the Xuanwu Secret Realm with the Xuan Turtle Clan Chief.

As Chen Tianwen listened to their conversation, he secretly pondered:

"It seems that my humble attitude has initially gained the trust of Envoy Cui."

"With this guy's trust, many things will be much easier in the secret realm!"

Thinking of this, Chen Tianwen stared intently at Envoy Cui, but did not speak, only showing an anxious expression.

Envoy Cui naturally noticed Chen Tianwen's unusual behavior and asked with concern:

"Mr. Chen, is there something you need?"

Chen Tianwen blushed slightly, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Envoy Cui smiled slightly and said:

"Mr. Chen, please speak freely."

Chen Tianwen then spoke, saying to Envoy Cui:

“Saint Cui, I have heard the legend of the ancient divine beast Xuanwu since I was a child. Just now, I overheard Saint Cui and the Xuanwu clan chief discussing the Xuanwu Secret Realm, and I too have felt a longing to enter it. However, I also know that my fortune is shallow, and I am afraid I will have no chance to enter the Xuanwu Secret Realm!”

As soon as Chen Tianwen finished speaking, Envoy Cui burst into laughter and said:

"Mr. Chen, what are you saying?"
