"The Xuanwu Secret Realm?"
Chen Tianwen was not surprised by the appearance of the Xuanwu Secret Realm. After all, the Xuan Turtle Clan and the Nether Serpent Clan were descendants of Xuanwu, so finding the secret realm left by Xuanwu from their inherited memories was not a difficult task.
Chen Tianwen was surprised that the Xuan Turtle Clan and the Nether Serpent Clan would leak such important information.
It should be noted that some people were already concerned that the two races were too close, which could lead to the birth of a new ancient divine beast, Xuanwu.
The decision to take action against both races created the illusion of discord between them.
But why did this news leak out, even reaching Xu Tian?
Xu Tian, of course, had no idea what Chen Tianwen was thinking, and continued to explain:
"According to legend, the patriarchs of the two families fought fiercely over the inheritance within the Xuanwu Secret Realm. This resulted in both patriarchs being severely injured and falling into a coma."
Chen Tianwen nodded, seemingly understanding something.
Perhaps this is a tactic of feigning indifference between the two races, deliberately spreading rumors about the secret realm to create the illusion of discord between them.
After all, it would seem very abrupt if two races that share the same origin suddenly started to have a conflict.
By releasing this information, not only can the conflict between the two races be made more believable, but it can also show the outside world that there is no possibility of the two races working together again. After all, the two races have already fought to the death for the inheritance.
Xu Tian continued:
"Mr. Chen's prediction is correct. These two tribes are indeed seeking medical treatment. After learning about your deeds, they will probably find you soon."
As the two were talking, a guard from the city lord's mansion suddenly rushed in in a panic.
Xu Tian was very displeased with his subordinates' panicked behavior and angrily rebuked them:
"What kind of behavior is this, all flustered and disrespectful? Besides, didn't I give instructions that no one should disturb me while I'm talking to Mr. Chen?"
Chen Tianwen knew that Xu Tian's words were partly directed at him, so he also spoke up:
“Lord Xu, there is no need to be angry. This person is so anxious that he must have something important to report. Lord Xu should focus on the important matter. We will have many more opportunities to meet, so there is no need to rush.”
As Chen Tianwen was about to get up and leave, he wasn't going to stay and eavesdrop on Xu Tian's private matters out of curiosity.
Unexpectedly, Xu Tian stopped Chen Tianwen from leaving and said to his subordinates:
"Please speak freely, Mr. Chen is not an outsider. From now on, there is no need to avoid Mr. Chen in any matters concerning the City Lord's Mansion."
The guard then raised his head and reported:
"Reporting to the City Lord, the Xuan Turtle Clan and the Nether Serpent Clan have sent envoys! And these envoys are both powerful Immortal Lords!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Tian understood why his usually composed subordinate had suddenly become flustered.
Facing two powerful immortal lords, no one could remain calm.
Xu Tian turned to look at Chen Tianwen, who nodded. Xu Tian then said to the guard:
"Quickly, invite them in."
After Xu Tian finished speaking, he ordered the reception hall to be restored to its original state. Xu Tian sat in the main seat of the reception hall, while Chen Tianwen sat in the seat below Xu Tian.
Soon, the two of them, led by the guards, entered the reception hall.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Xu Tian quickly descended the steps and bowed respectfully. Chen Tianwen also stood up and nodded in acknowledgment.
Chen Tianwen sized up the two men. One of them was short but had a square face, giving him a heavy and imposing appearance. The other man was extremely slender and had a feminine look.
Chen Tianwen silently guessed that the short immortal was probably a powerful immortal lord from the Xuan Turtle Clan, while the other was a powerful immortal lord from the Nether Serpent Clan.
As expected, after exchanging greetings with Xu Tian, the two began to introduce themselves:
"Greetings, City Lord Xu. I am Xuan Cang, an elder of the Xuan Turtle Clan. I have come to pay my respects to City Lord Xu on behalf of the Grand Elder. This is just a small token of my respect."
The short immortal spoke, taking out a brocade box from his robes and handing it to Xu Tian with both hands.
Xu Tian politely accepted the gift and returned the greeting, saying:
"It is an honor for me, Xu, that Elder Xuan has graced us with his presence. How could I possibly trouble Elder Xuan with his expense?"
The other, more effeminate immortal, scoffed disdainfully and said:
"Lord Xu, I am Ming Qing, an elder of the Nether Serpent Clan. I have come to pay my respects to you on behalf of my clan's Grand Elder, who has specially ordered me to pick a Nine Provinces Profound Yin Fruit to present to you!"
Upon hearing the name "Nine Provinces Mysterious Yin Fruit," both Xu Tian and Chen Tianwen were slightly taken aback.
This Nine Provinces Profound Yin Fruit is a sacred medicine for refining immortal pills. Even if it is taken directly without refining, it has medicinal power comparable to a fourth-grade immortal pill. The Nether Serpent Clan has spared no expense in taking this out.
But Xuan Cang spoke up with a sarcastic remark:
"The Nether Serpent Clan is truly generous. However, although the Nine Provinces Profound Yin Fruit is precious, what my Grand Elder asked me to bring is a top-tier immortal technique!"
The two exchanged sharp insults, making Xu Tian and Chen Tianwen somewhat embarrassed. However, Xu Tian was in a great mood after receiving such valuable gifts from the two men, and quickly invited them to sit down.
The two glared at each other and then sat down on the left and right sides respectively.
Seeing the two of them like this, Xu Tian had no choice but to take the initiative to speak and break the awkward silence:
"You two fellow Daoists have graced my humble abode with your presence. May I ask what brings you here?"
Upon hearing Xu Tian's words, Xuan Cang immediately stood up and said:
"To be honest, Lord Xu, everyone knows about my clan patriarch's injury. I've heard that a Pill Emperor has arrived in Pill King City and is staying at the City Lord's Mansion. I've taken the liberty of coming here to pay my respects!"
Before Xu Tian could answer, Ming Qing stood up, walked straight to Chen Tianwen, bowed deeply, and said:
"This gentleman must be the legendary Pill Emperor, right? I, Ming Qing, greet you."
The fact that Ming Qing, a powerful immortal lord, was so respectful to Chen Tianwen made Xuan Cang frown.
However, Xuan Cang quickly realized that Xu Tian actually felt it was only natural that Chen Tianwen was present at such an important occasion, and even sitting above the two Immortal Lords.
In this way, Chen Tianwen's identity becomes obvious!
However, isn't it rumored that the Pill Emperor is only at the Golden Immortal realm?
However, Xuan Cang quickly came to terms with it, realizing that it wouldn't be difficult for the Pill Emperor to advance to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
Xuan Cang felt a little regretful that Ming Qing had beaten him to it, but he still respectfully bowed to Chen Tianwen.
Chen Tianwen quickly returned the greeting, not daring to be presumptuous towards the two powerful immortal lords.
Chen Tianwen spoke up:
"I dare not accept the title of Pill Emperor; I am merely rudimentary in alchemy!"
