Seeing Du Rong, Chen Xiao was surprised and happy: "Uncle Rong, you are out of isolation?"
Being able to see him in Taizhen, Du Rong must have been promoted to the Foundation Establishment Stage, otherwise it would be difficult for him to pass through the vortex portal.
Du Rong was even more excited than Chen Xiao, and he kowtowed directly.
"Thanks to the master, I have finally been promoted to the foundation-building stage!"
Chen Xiao hurriedly helped him up: "This is all thanks to Uncle Rong's perseverance. How can you say it's all thanks to me?"
Du Rong said, "Thanks to the soul-attracting talisman sent by the master, with its help, I was able to break through the bottleneck and finally succeed."
Chen Xiao was quite surprised. The vitality-attracting talisman that he had originally given to Wu Qing returned to his hands by chance. He had someone send it to Du Rong just thinking of finding a suitable use for it. He really didn't think about what use it could have.
Seeing that Chen Xiao didn't quite believe it, Du Rong quickly said to him: "Since I got the Soul Summoning Talisman, it has been much easier for me to comprehend the spiritual energy. I can convert the true qi into true essence more calmly. It really has played a big role."
He paused, as if he was organizing his words, and said, "If I use that soul-attracting talisman like this on a daily basis, it will look bright and last for a long time before it loses its effect. But I didn't expect that one day I would suddenly have a particularly smooth breakthrough. When I opened my eyes after building my foundation, the soul-attracting talisman that was attached to my body turned into ashes in just a moment. So, I guessed that this paper talisman was the key."
Chen Xiao listened thoughtfully and nodded slowly: "This kind of situation has never been heard of before, and I don't know if it is a coincidence. It's better not to make it public for the time being."
Du Rong understood the pros and cons and said, "I understand." Then he smiled and said, "After I came out of retreat, I didn't know where to find the master, so I had to stay in Zhushanju. I was afraid that I would miss the people you found to deliver supplies, so I waited there, hoping for news from the master. Yesterday, I learned that the master had settled in Yingxian Island, so I hurried over."
When Du Rong learned that Chen Xiao was on Yingxian Island, he was shocked.
When they parted, Chen Xiao was still in the Body Refining Stage like him. Unexpectedly, in just less than two years, he had already reached the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Although he knew that Chen Xiao had had a fortuitous encounter and was making rapid progress, he was still shocked by the speed.
With such outstanding talent and such rapid progress, it was almost foreseeable that Chen Xiao was definitely not an ordinary person. This further strengthened Du Rong's determination to follow him.
Chen Xiao asked: "Brother Zhushanju lent it to us, did you make arrangements when you left?"
Du Rong nodded: "The protection has been opened. Without the correct method, outsiders cannot enter or exit."
Chen Xiao has great faith in Tong Nuonuo's mechanical technology. Since he said that there will be no problems with the Fulonggu guarding it, there must be no hidden dangers.
Chen Xiao introduced Du Rong to Qian Chuan and Wan Qing, and then officially handed the two people over to Du Rong's management.
Du Rong was a man of great experience. Although it was his first time commanding two mortal servants, he quickly got the hang of it and arranged everything in an orderly manner.
After Du Rong came, he completely liberated Chen Xiao.
He had previously followed Chen Xiao in Hanshan City and built his business from scratch. Now Chen Xiao had already opened up the situation, and taking over the next things was even easier.
With Du Rong's presence, Chen Xiao not only saved a lot of time, but also set a threshold and raised Chen Xiao's status. With Du Rong standing in front, Chen Xiao was not so easy to be approached, and the victim would be much more respectful when meeting and talking to him.
If any small sects or groups come to visit, Du Rong will be the first to receive them, and Chen Xiao will go to the site. After a plan is made, Du Rong will deliver it. After that, Chen Xiao only needs to go to the site once more to see the results and reap the luck.
Qian Chuan and Wan Qing felt much more at ease now that they had a boss. There was someone to arrange things for them and to cover for them when things went wrong. They no longer had to rush around aimlessly or panic-stricken.
The two of them were completely relieved and stayed in Chen's house peacefully.
Without having to worry about trivial matters anymore, Chen Xiao got up early in the morning to prepare the painting materials, took out the best talisman paper, and calmly painted the amulet in the study.
After he established his foundation, his mental strength doubled, and he was not stingy with his vitality. He could only draw a dozen vitality talismans a day, but this number doubled to more than 20. In just three days, he drew 75 enhanced peace talismans.
In addition to these energetic versions of the amulets, he also drew hundreds of ordinary amulets without stopping.
These were all prepared for Xi Yunting's advancement during this retreat.
Think about it, he had just been promoted to a small realm, and just a few words from him were enough to make Tong Nuonuo fall and sprain her ankle.
With this great realm upgrade, the special ability that accidentally brings bad luck to others will definitely have a longer growth period. During the period when Xi Yunting can't control it, whoever encounters it will definitely be unlucky, and even drinking water will make his teeth ache.
In order to prevent innocent people from getting hurt and to relieve his brother's guilt, Chen Xiao prepared to give him a large bag of amulets to ward off disasters and distribute to people around him.
When Zhao Fang returned with a big bag of amulets and his reply letter, Chen Xiao regretted wasting this time and did not draw more paper talismans.
At this time, he had completely forgotten how he had relied on busyness to numb himself over the past month. He was often so tired that he fell asleep immediately after returning home, so how could he have the energy to spend time drawing talismans?
Following Xi Yunting's instructions in the jade slip, Chen Xiao brought Du Rong to visit the Island Master's Mansion and asked to meet Shi Fengdu.
Poor Du Rong had been in seclusion for a while, and had no idea that his master and Master Xi had a relationship beyond friendship. When the two stood in the reception room of the island master's mansion, this loyal subordinate felt uneasy and worried about the upcoming meeting. He was afraid that they would be treated coldly this time and make the master lose face.
Although Chen Xiao had told him before that Xi Yunting and Shi Fengdu were old acquaintances and they had met several times, after all, Xianshi Xi was no longer with them, so who knew what Shi Fengdu's attitude was.
After waiting for just over a quarter of an hour, Shi Fengdu appeared.
After exchanging some pleasantries, Chen Xiao stated the purpose of his visit.
He said: "My elder brother has returned to the sect. Before he went into seclusion, he personally made this year's new tea. He sent someone to deliver some to me and specifically told me to send a pound of it to our respected master."
Shi Fengdu was a little surprised. He had never received the rock tea made by Xi Yunting before, but he had heard that it was outstanding.
He said politely, "Thank you for taking the trouble to send it to me, Mr. Chen."
Du Rong lowered his eyelids, looked at his nose and his heart, holding his breath and listening to Chen Xiao's calm and natural conversation with Shi Fengdu.
He really didn't expect that the most outstanding zither player among the grandchildren of the master of Yingxian Island would be so kind and friendly.
After chatting for a while about Xi Yunting's recent situation and the news of the Chongxuan Sect, Chen Xiao told Shi Fengdu that he had settled down now.
He also told the other party his specific address and politely invited him to visit him for tea when he was free.
Shi Fengdu listened very carefully and said that he would definitely go there when he had free time.
In fact, Shi Fengdu had known where Chen Xiao lived. Not only that, even Zhao Fang was able to find his residence so quickly this time because Shi Fengdu had someone give him a hint.
Master Taisu and his grandmaster Bai Ai were close friends, and Xi Yunting was Master Taisu's most valued disciple. Before he left, he asked Shi Fengdu to take care of Chen Xiao, so how could Shi Fengdu not be attentive?
Although Chen Xiao rejected his proposal, Shi Fengdu did not completely ignore it. The Island Master's Mansion has a strong control over Yingxian Island. After a little inquiry, they knew where Chen Xiao was staying. It's good that nothing happened. When something happened, Shi Fengdu would not be passive.
Shi Fengdu is very busy. In addition to practicing, he also has to take time out every day to deal with the affairs of the Island Master's Mansion. Chen Xiao had not been sitting here talking to Shi Fengdu for long when two groups of people came to ask for a meeting.
Seeing this, Chen Xiao did not delay any longer, stood up and said goodbye.
After leaving the Island Master's Mansion, Du Rong relaxed a lot. A smile appeared on his tough face, and he said, "So the master of the family and Shi Fengdu have such a good relationship. This is good. With the support of the Island Master's Mansion, we will not encounter any obstacles in our development in Yingxian Island."
Chen Xiao shook his head and said, "The more you use a favor, the less it is. Don't use this relationship unless it's a critical moment." He didn't have that much face. When the time came, the big brother would have to pay back the favors. Unless it was absolutely necessary, it would be better not to ask Shi Fengdu for it.
Du Rong's expression became serious and he nodded: "The Patriarch is right. It is better to be cautious and develop slowly."
Chen Xiao smiled and said, "It's not that serious actually. After all, we have a stepping stone to make friends with immortal cultivation families and sects. With such a powerful tool, it's not that difficult to enter this class."
Du Rong didn't know about the rock tea yet, and seeing that Chen Xiao was confident, he felt relieved and didn't ask any more questions.
Afterwards, Chen Xiao began to focus on the study and practice of Feng Shui. As his reputation spread, more and more people came to live in the houses on Tangyan Street.
Du Rong began to do the preliminary work just like he did in Hanshan City, and only gave Chen Xiao a clear set of information, allowing him to have a basic understanding before going to see the scene.
Watching a house absorb vital energy is a tedious process. With the comfort of a cup of rock tea every day, Chen Xiao calmed down and accumulated it patiently.
A year later, not only the independent cultivators and small sects, but even the slightly larger shops in several urban areas had heard of his identity. At this time, Chen Xiao's main customers had become the middle class of the immortal cultivation world of Yingxian Island. This class was mainly composed of immortal cultivation families and medium-sized sects.
On this day, Chen Xiao had just finished the Feng Shui layout for a weapon refining shop near Jianzhai.
The owner of this shop is a refiner with a formal grade. What Chen Xiao values most is that this refiner who opened a shop alone has just started his own business and has superb craftsmanship.
Chen Xiao wanted to cooperate with him for a long time and asked him to become a fixed supplier of mass-produced magic tool embryos.
Therefore, I paid more attention to the feng shui of this house with a shop in front and a house in the back. Not only did I inspect the site and the surrounding area several times, I also stayed there for a few days to personally experience the changes in the aura during the day and night. It took me more than ten days to finally get it done.
When he returned to Chen's house after being away for several days, Du Rong was standing at the gate, waiting for him eagerly.
As soon as he saw him, Du Rong ran up to him, holding up a note and said, "Master, Shi Fengdu has personally sent you an invitation to attend the Lunyin Dharma Assembly in a month! He also asked you to come to the Island Master's Mansion when you are free recently. He has something to discuss with you."
