On the fourth day, Xi Yunting replied to Tai Sheng's communication talisman and agreed on a meeting place.
Chen Xiao also summoned back his apprentice and Xiao Junjie.
It was inevitable to feel embarrassed and ashamed. Chen Xiao could only pretend that nothing had happened and ordered Huang Keran: "Get ready. Let's meet up with your master's sect and go to Chongshan Immortal Palace together." He then said to Xiao Junjie and the other two, "We were in a hurry to get back to Luochen because we wanted to reunite with our families as soon as possible. You have seen the current situation. My Taoist partner has also come to Guangji with my sect. Next, we have to change our route. What are your three plans?"
Xiao Junjie and the other two showed surprised and happy expressions. As early as in their conversation with Huang Keran, they knew that Senior Chen's Taoist partner was a high-ranking official of Luo Chen's Zhongxuan Sect.
Although they were far away in Xuwu, they had heard of the great name of the Chongxuan School.
This is a large sect that is on par with the five major sects of Xuwu. If they can travel with the Chongxuan Sect along the way, it can be said that their chances of winning are even greater.
The three of them bowed respectfully to Chen Xiao, and Xiao Junjie said, "The juniors are willing to go with you."
Chen Xiao had anticipated their decision. He said seriously, "I can take you with me, but I can't guarantee that I can protect you. You know the situation here better than I do."
Xiao Junjie said solemnly: "Those who cultivate immortality have long since put life and death aside! Before coming to Guangji, the younger generations have already made psychological preparations, so just rest assured, seniors!"
There was nothing to pack up in the camp, and those things that were inconvenient for outsiders to see were put away by Xi Yunting.
Huang Keran just turned around and thriftily picked up the unused firewood and the pots and pans used for cooking.
That was not the set that Chen Xiao had originally carried with him. That set had long been destroyed by wear and tear over the long years.
This pot was made by Chen Xiao using materials collected along the way.
Probably because this is a very common utensil, Chen Xiao did not use any tool-refining techniques to make it. He simply hammered out a piece of iron sheet and made it into a round pot.
The round pot looks very old, with several dents on the bottom and body of the pot, full of traces of time.
Huang Keran looked at the pot.
He thought that when he didn't need this pot anymore, he would ask his master for it as a souvenir.
When Huang Keran was looking at the pot, Xi Yunting was also looking at the pot.
These days, he used this pot to make some soft and mushy food for Xiaodi.
He didn't notice it at first, but later realized that the pot was bought later. Through it, Xi Yunting vaguely saw how hard Chen Xiao had been in the past few decades, and he couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in his heart.
Just like he deliberately concealed the torment and torture he had endured over the years, Chen Xiao also avoided the main point and never wanted to talk about the hardships and tribulations he had endured along the way.
After being apart for decades and living separately for too long, it was inevitable that there was some sense of strangeness between them.
This strange feeling was hidden under the joy of reunion, and could not be seen at first glance, but it was always revealed in the smallest details.
However, just as Xi Yunting felt sorry for what Chen Xiao had gone through, Chen Xiao would also accept Xi Yunting's changes with great tolerance. Suffering and separation made both of them more tolerant of this, and nothing was more important than them returning to each other.
This time, Xi Yunting led the way. After a day of travel, they finally caught up with the Zhongxuan Sect team in front.
When Tai Sheng saw Xi Yunting, he said unhappily: "Even if you found Chen Xiao, you should have replied to me. You made me worry for a while!"
Xi Yunting lowered his head expressionlessly and said, "It's my fault."
Tai Sheng was simply suffocated. He sighed, then turned to look at Chen Xiao who was standing beside him. He smiled and said, "I am very pleased to see that you are well."
Xi Yunting seemed to have lost his heart over the years and had developed a cold and hard face. He could deal with all kinds of embarrassment with an expressionless face, but Chen Xiao did not have this ability.
He saluted Tai Sheng awkwardly, "I'm sorry to have worried you, uncle."
Tai Sheng laughed and said, "You were able to survive a great disaster, so you will surely have good fortune in the future. Speaking of which, being able to travel the void without dying in the body of a Nascent Soul and returning safely is also a legend."
Chen Xiao said modestly: "This is a matter of chance and coincidence, and it is not just my fault."
"Oh?" Tai Sheng was very interested in his experience. "I'd like to hear more about it."
Chen Xiao said: "First, it is because I happened to have activated the protective magic weapon. If I didn't have the protective magic weapon, the moment I fell into the void, I would die due to the extremely cold vacuum environment there. Secondly, it is because my soul beast happens to have the ability to move in the void. Without this soul beast, I and my disciples would have to be trapped in the same place until all the supplies were used up."
Chen Xiao had never mentioned these things before, and Xi Yunting was immersed in the joy of recovering what he had lost, so he didn't have time to ask.
Xi Yunting looked at Chen Xiao, and Chen Xiao turned to look at him, "Third, we were lucky enough to find a heavenly realm in time and obtain a very important technique." He turned his head and glanced at the young disciple beside him, "Finally, because I am not alone on this trip, I have someone to accompany me, so I am not lonely."
Xi Yunting and Tai Sheng both looked at Huang Keran, making him feel very nervous.
Tai Sheng looked at Huang Ke Ran and said kindly, "This is your little disciple, right? I heard that Senior Hua recommended him to be your disciple."
Chen Xiao said: "It's him. Ke Ran, come and meet Grandmaster Tai Sheng."
Huang Keran took a step forward and greeted Tai Sheng with impeccable etiquette, "Junior Huang Keran, greetings to Master Uncle."
"Okay, okay, get up quickly." Tai Sheng touched his sleeves and took out a red stone the size of a fingertip. "This Fire Stone is for you as a gift. Take it."
Fire Stone is a very precious spiritual stone. Huang Keran learned refining from Chen Xiao, so he naturally knew how precious it was.
Huang Keran didn't dare to accept it rashly. He glanced at Chen Xiao, and after his master nodded, he took it with both hands, "Junior thanks Master Uncle for the generous gift."
After greeting Tai Sheng, Xi Yunting called Zhao Fang to come and see him.
He was not familiar with the environment on Guangji's side, so he asked Zhao Fang to organize the people and divide them into several small teams, one responsible for one direction, and move forward in a fan-shaped formation to investigate the situation.
Each team selects the most experienced person to be in charge. When something happens, he will send a signal and the teams on the left and right will quickly provide support.
This ensures safety and achieves the purpose of exploration.
This is what the Great Immortal Sect does when they go out as a group. Before, he was the only one responsible for taking care of everything, all because Liu Shaoguang wanted to give him something to do. Now that Xi Yunting has found Chen Xiao, he naturally doesn't want to spend too much energy on this.
I was very happy to see my acquaintances like Chen Xiao, Zhao Fang and Chang Shou.
What made the disciples of the Chongxuan Sect most grateful was that after Chen Xiao came back, the coldness around Xi Yunting disappeared, and it was no longer difficult to get close to him.
The disciples of the Chongxuan School split up into small groups and walked in front. Even Huang Keran and Xiao Junjie were assigned to the team led by Zhao Fang.
Xiao Junjie and the other two were not unhappy about being assigned to the task. On the contrary, they were very excited.
Working together with the disciples of the Great Immortal Sect, they can learn a lot of knowledge and gain insights that are difficult to access, so the three of them cherish this opportunity very much.
The blockade of the evil cultivators can only hold back those small sects and independent cultivators who are of mixed quality and have been hastily organized.
They are no match for the Chongxuan Sect, which has a history of thousands of years and whose disciples know how to cooperate with each other.
The obstacle that had troubled them was broken so easily. Xiao Junjie was delighted but also felt sad.
After this level, the rest of the journey was much easier. After the blockade, the closer we got to Chongshan Palace, the smoother the journey became.
After passing through Guangji main city, all the capable Taoist practitioners gathered here, occupying a large area and even forming a fairly large camp.
With the guidance of a Taoist priest they met by chance, this team of dozens of people arrived at the camp after walking for half a month.
This camp was originally a small town, occupied by the first batch of Taoist practitioners who passed the test. Later, several more batches of Taoist practitioners came one after another, and it gradually became the Taoist practitioners' stronghold in Guangji.
After a while, the town’s original area was no longer enough to accommodate the residents, so it began to expand outward. At its recent peak, the entire campsite’s area was already ten times the size of the original town!
The camp is located on a plain surrounded by several mountains.
The evil cultivators who had lived in the town fled or died. The rest were ordinary people. The Taoists did not harm these people, but hired them to serve them.
The arrival of the Taoists has greatly boosted the local economic development. Now all the indigenous people in the town make a living by serving the Taoists.
It is not easy to break into Guangji Main City with many evil cultivators, so the Taoists do not expect to get supplies from the rear through the vortex portal.
Therefore, they encouraged the residents of the town to vigorously develop agriculture and breeding to provide enough food for the evil cultivators. At the same time, they also helped them form caravans to go to the surrounding big cities to purchase the supplies they needed.
Just like there are Taoist practitioners who are willing to work for evil practitioners for their own personal gain, there are also many evil practitioners who are willing to smuggle for profit. As long as they are willing to pay the price, Taoist practitioners can even buy elixirs here.
When Chen Xiao and his friends arrived here, the entire camp had become quite prosperous, with all kinds of necessary items available.
The center of the camp is the original buildings of the town, the outer layer is a circle of buildings built by the Taoist practitioners, and the outermost layer is the simple houses built by the Taoist practitioners who arrived recently.
After Chen Xiao and his friends arrived, the first thing they did was to find a place that could accommodate dozens of people.
Although there is a hotel in this place, it is provided for merchants to stay. It is not large and the environment is not suitable for practitioners like them.
There are only two options before them: one is to rob other people's houses, and the other is to build their own.
As a famous sect among the righteous, Chongxuan Sect naturally cannot do things like robbing other people's houses, so they can only build temporary ones.
Choosing a location is the strong point of Feng Shui masters. Now Chen Xiao only needs to take a glance in the air and choose the most suitable one around the camp.
