Chapter 57 Inventor: Xiao Huo, Invention Project: Twin Martial Spirits
After Chen Nanxuan escaped from the Sky-Swallowing Demon Lady, he directly targeted Xiao Huo.
After he found Xiao Huo, he went straight into Xiao Huo's body and stayed in his soul palace. He confronted Xuan Lao and Xiao Huo. Now his physical body was destroyed, only the essence of his soul remained.
His soul is weak now, and he needs to find a safe and quiet place to recuperate. He may also need to absorb some of Xiao Huo's energy, so he will not leave for the time being.
When Old Xuan heard what Chen Nanxuan said, his face turned grim.
Xiao Huo is his disciple, and Elder Xuan is counting on him to cultivate enough to bring him back to life in the future. Previously, due to a momentary wrong decision, he had wasted his own cultivation, and was temporarily unable to practice the Burning Art, which had slowed down his progress.
Now there is another burden, Chen Nanxuan, and Old Xuan feels even more uncomfortable.
Xiao Huo's face also looked ugly. He never expected that Chen Nanxuan would send him away.
His life was too miserable. It would have been fine if he had been possessed by the ghost of Old Xuan, but at least Old Xuan could help him practice and guide him on his path of practice. The two of them could be considered a good teacher meeting a good disciple.
But now here comes Chen Nanxuan...
What is twin martial spirits, one to two?
Xiao Huo: It's already difficult to cultivate immortality, and now there's another one? Elder Xuan told Xiao Huo not to worry and to talk to Chen Nanxuan himself.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, isn't it a bit too much for you to do this? There is no affection between you and my disciple. It is a pity that your physical body is destroyed now, but you can't just parasitize in my disciple's soul palace like this."
Chen Nanxuan said: "Xiao Huo and I are both disciples of the Daluo Sect, and we are all brothers of the Daluo Sect. How can we say that we have no feelings for each other? Moreover, we just made a promise in the Black Dragon Village that we would not give up or abandon each other.
But what did Xiao Huo do when that Yuanying old monster came just now? He ran away without any hesitation. Now that I have escaped death, I don’t blame him for being ruthless and ungrateful. Is it too much to borrow his Soul Palace to live in?"
Chen Nanxuan said: We agreed to support each other, but when your brother got into trouble, you turned around and ran away. Are you worthy of me? You are the one who did it on the first day, so don't blame me for the fifteenth.
Elder Xuan: "You also know the situation before. When we encountered Yuanying, we could only escape on our own. Would they be buried with you? It's far-fetched for you to use this as an excuse."
Not to mention fellow disciples, even if they are father and son, if they really encounter a life-and-death crisis, it is normal for them to flee separately when disaster strikes.
If it was Chen Nanxuan who escaped just now, Old Xuan didn't believe that Chen Nanxuan would risk his life to save Xiao Huo.
The higher the level of cultivation, the colder the human nature.
Chen Nanxuan's trick of moral blackmail works for young people who are just starting out, but it doesn't work for Old Xuan.
Chen Nanxuan said: "There is no point in saying more. I am not living here for nothing. Before I became a senior cultivator, I was a great cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. I am not living in your Soul Palace for nothing. At most, I can teach you some martial arts skills and magic in the future as a thank you gift.
If you continue to care about it, you will end up losing both your fish and your net.”
Chen Nanxuan didn't want to talk any more.
Although his soul was protected by the Spring and Autumn Cicada, it was too weak at the moment and needed to rest.
He was in urgent need of a quiet place, so Chen Nanxuan directly put forward his conditions.
It’s like renting a house here at Xiao Huo and paying rent.
When Mr. Xuan heard this, he thought for a moment and was shocked.
He originally thought that Chen Nanxuan's cultivation level before he rebuilt himself was at most the Void Refining level, and at most the Fusion level.
But they never expected that this guy was also in the Tribulation Crossing Stage before he re-cultivated, and now he refused to leave no matter what they said, and even put forward conditions to negotiate with them.
After hesitating for a moment, Mr. Xuan had no choice but to agree to his request.
"Okay, then it's settled. I hope you won't keep it to yourself."
"Don't worry, I'm not that stingy."
Chen Nanxuan and Master Xuan reached a consensus, and Master Xuan agreed to let him stay here.
Only Master Xuan agreed, but Xiao Huo hasn't agreed yet.
Xiao Huo directly sent a message to Xuan Lao in his mind: "Teacher, are you really going to let him stay? Is this possible? Bringing one more person with me is too difficult for me."
Before, Old Xuan lived in his body and sucked his spiritual energy for three years. Even now, he occasionally absorbed the spiritual energy that he had cultivated with great effort to replenish his soul power.
Now here comes Chen Nanxuan. God knows how much spiritual energy this guy will suck from me.
Cultivating immortality is difficult in the first place, and now you have to deal with two people at the same time?
What hell mode? Now you two have reached an agreement, but you don't want to ask for my opinion? Listening to Xiao Huo's words, Xuan Lao said: "I know it's difficult for you, but there is nothing you can do. This guy is determined to rely on you, and his soul power is indeed weak now. If you want him to find someone else at this time, he will definitely not agree.
He also said that he is willing to share his experience of overcoming the tribulation period and his magical martial arts with you. This is also an opportunity for you."
Xiao Huo: "Teacher, I have you as my martial arts and magical resources. Why do I need so many martial arts and magical resources? What I want now is the speed of cultivation! In another year and a half, I will be in Qinglan Sect. How can I fight like this?"
Xiao Huo's mentality was a little exploded.
He said, what does he need so many resources for? The experience of the Tribulation Period with Master Xuan is enough, what he wants now is the speed of cultivation.
What’s the use of having resources if you can’t improve your cultivation?
Xiao Huo asked: "Teacher, can't we force him out or kill him?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Elder Xuan: "The old monster who is in the stage of Crossing the Tribulation has many methods. How can he not have any methods if he can reach the stage of Crossing the Tribulation? And the golden cicada in his hand, if I am not mistaken, should be the legendary Spring and Autumn Cicada, which can keep his soul immortal. He is already invincible, and it is basically impossible to destroy his soul.
Besides, your soul palace is too fragile. If you really fight, I don’t know if Chen Nanxuan will die, but you will definitely die..."
In a word, it can't be done.
This bastard has laid down in your soul palace, and you definitely cannot move from him. You can only feed him with love.
Xiao Huo was convinced.
There was no other way but to listen to Master Xuan's arrangements and live in peace with Chen Nanxuan for the time being.
Xuan Lao said: "Let's go back to Daluo Sect first."
Xiao Huo soared into the air and returned to Daluo Sect.
…
Qingshan City is the closest Daqian city to Black Dragon Village. Lu Yuan and Xiao Huang tied up the remnants of Black Dragon Village and the Demon Heart Cult here and handed them over to the local authorities.
When the local prefect heard that a master from the immortal sect had wiped out the Black Dragon Village overnight, he was stunned.
Qingshan City is the closest to Black Dragon Village, so the local governor is naturally well aware of the power of Black Dragon Village.
The imperial court sent Jindan monks to sweep the Black Dragon Village several times but failed to wipe out the village. They returned empty-handed several times with little success.
When he heard that he was sent to serve as the prefect of Qingshan, he almost lost his mind. After taking office, he was worried every day, fearing that the bandits from the Black Dragon Village would attack the city.
In recent times, a large number of young and middle-aged people have disappeared inside and outside Qingshan City, and many villages and towns outside the city have been massacred.
Although Prefect Qingshan knew about it, he didn't dare to say a word.
He had no choice but to report the matter. He guessed in his heart that these missing people were most likely captured by the people from the Black Dragon Village, but he had no choice.
He was a prefect, and his cultivation was only at the foundation-building stage. He couldn't take people to the Black Dragon Village to ask for someone, right? There were three golden cores in the Black Dragon Village, so he rushed over to deliver them? He could only wait for support from above.
Now the reinforcements haven't arrived, but this morning I heard that the Black Dragon Village was captured by a master of the Immortal Sect. He brought thousands of captured remnants of the Black Dragon Village and the Demon Heart followers and sent them to the gate of Qingshan City.
Prefect Qingshan came out to greet him happily.
