Chapter 964 Visit
At sunset.
Chen Qingshuang hurriedly returned to the small courtyard where she lived.
She currently lives in the outer courtyard of the Jian Sect, living with thousands of outer sect disciples.
Fortunately, the small courtyard is relatively quiet, has a large area, and the spiritual energy is pure and rich, so there is no problem in life or practice.
With a hint of exhaustion on her resolute face, she opened a low-level formation protecting the small courtyard and returned to her familiar environment, feeling a little more relaxed.
Just the whole day, she stayed in the cave where an alchemy-forming uncle lived, processing a large amount of talisman-making materials for him.
During this period, I was using my spiritual consciousness all the time, which was very draining on my mind and I felt faintly dizzy.
Her expression was normal, she had long been used to this situation.
Although the Chen family is not a small family, it has had its moments of glory, but after the birth of the Yuan Ying Ancestor, the situation has deteriorated from generation to generation, and now there is only one True Pill Formation Master in the family.
Hence, placed in a behemoth like Tianjian Sect, it is nothing at all.
Chen Qingshuang knew in her heart that it was not easy for her family. In order for her to rapidly improve her strength in the Dongxuan Sword Sect, the family had devoted all its efforts and spent a lot of resources and treasures on her.
Compared with those real children of aristocratic families, those resources are only superficial and of limited use.
She took a deep breath and her eyes became firm again.
Her talent is not as good as those unique geniuses, and her background is not as good as those sword masters, descendants of elders, or children of aristocratic families in the Sword Sect, but she believes that as long as she has a persevering heart to seek truth, she will be able to make up for these gaps.
Chen Qingshuang took out a black pill from the storage bag and swallowed it.
The pills had an indescribable weird taste, which made her frown.
After a while, she used her spiritual power, and a few drops of a fishy, unpleasant-smelling gray-black liquid dripped from her fingertips.
“The poison left by evil spirits in the body has almost been eliminated.”
She created a purification talisman to remove the few drops of light black liquid.
The last time she went out to explore the secret realm, she accidentally contracted a trace of evil poison. With the help of the sect, she survived, but there was still some poison left in her body, which was extremely difficult to get rid of.
You can only slowly return to normal by taking an antidote like the one just mentioned.
“Junior Sister Chen, I’m here to visit you.”
Just when she was about to practice, a soft voice came from outside the small courtyard.
Before she could stand up to greet him, the owner of the voice had already barged in with a familiar face.
A woman with picturesque features and green hair flowing down like a waterfall walked towards her.
“Senior Sister Zhong.”
Chen Qingshuang bowed respectfully.
The woman's name is Zhongli, the daughter of a Nascent Soul elder of the Sword Sect. She is about the same age as her, but has already reached the stage of perfect foundation building and is expected to form a core.
“Junior sister, did you go to deal with the materials for making talismans again today?”
Zhongli leaned close to Chen Qingshuang's shoulder, seeming to be sniffing her scent, his eyes as gentle as water.
"Yes."
Chen Qingshuang moved half a step away without leaving a trace.
“Junior sister, I told you a long time ago that I want you to move to my cave. The spiritual energy there is purer and richer, and the speed of cultivation can be greatly improved. There is also a care for each other.”
Zhongli said with a chuckle.
“Thank you, Senior Sister Zhong, for your kindness, but I’m used to living here, and I’m afraid of causing a lot of inconvenience to Senior Sister.”
Even though Zhongli tried to persuade her again and again, she remained firm in her inner thoughts.
Zhongli did not stay long, said goodbye to her and left. Chen Qingshuang watched her leave, her heart as calm as water.
The senior sister in front of me seemed to have some unexplainable strange feelings for her, and she was extremely close to her on weekdays.
In this case, as long as she shows the slightest expression, she is very likely to get a lot of resources from the daughter of the Nascent Soul Lord. However, Chen Qingshuang is unwilling to go against her true thoughts and just regards the other party's intimacy as a friendship.
“Excuse me, is this where Chen Qingshuang, Chen Qingshuang’s nephew, lives?”
She was about to go back to the small courtyard when a gentle voice suddenly came to her ears.
Looking around, she saw a young man wearing a navy blue robe looking at her with a smile.
The young man has a handsome appearance, eyes like painted paint, extraordinary bearing, and a deep aura. It is Lu Xuan who came here after getting information about the disciples of the Chen family from Mo Yuanfeng.
“Junior Chen Qingshuang, I have met my uncle.”
Chen Qingshuang's heart trembled. She didn't know why the alchemy master uncle in front of her came here, so she quickly said hello.
“You don’t need to be so polite, Senior Nephew Chen. I’m Lu Xuan. He’s currently staying at Huazhen Jianfeng. I came here to see you for something.”
Lu Xuan smiled and nodded.
“It turns out to be Master Lu. I wonder why Uncle Master wants to see me?”
Chen Qingshuang invited Lu Xuan into the small courtyard and asked curiously.
“By chance, I have some connection with Master Chen Xiaobai, the great uncle of the Chen family, which has benefited me a lot in my practice.”
“I came here this time to find the descendants of my great-uncle, and see if I can repay him a favor or two, and fulfill a wish in my heart.”
Lu Xuan said half-truthfully.
“Great grandpa?”
Chen Qingshuang was stunned for a moment, looking dubious.
“That’s right, even though we are two or three thousand years apart from my great uncle, we still have some interactions with him.”
Lu Xuan smiled and casually asked about the living habits, cultivation experience, etc. of the Chen family’s Yuanying True Monarch in advance.
He obtained these from his obsession with the sword, and they cannot be fake. Naturally, he quickly gained Chen Qingshuang's trust.
She has the hopes of the Chen family placed on her, so she naturally has a deep understanding of the grandpa who is in the Nascent Soul realm. There are some things that even ordinary members of the Chen family cannot know.
And Lu Xuan, a stranger, could speak clearly, so it was reasonable to verify that what he said was true.
“Master Chen’s nephew, I accidentally obtained a treasure left by Master Chen Xiaobai’s uncle, which helped me a lot in my cultivation path.”
“Now I can barely be considered successful in my practice, and I’m lucky enough to find you, my nephew, so I’ll naturally have something to repay.”
Lu Xuan said, taking out a few things from the storage bag and sending them to Chen Qingshuang.
“Here are three fourth-grade sword talismans, which can release powerful sword energy in an instant. This may be used to turn the situation around when you go out to explore the secret realm.”
“Two fourth-grade dust-cleansing pills can remove evil smells from the body and avoid being invaded and polluted by demons and evil spirits.”
“There are also three thunderstorm lotus seeds, which have a certain tempering effect on the physical body after being taken. At the same time, they have a good auxiliary effect on practicing thunder-type supernatural powers and secret arts.”
Three sword talismans, the sword intent is booming, with countless subtle sword energy swimming on the surface, two dust-cleansing pills, surrounded by clear spiritual energy, and three silver-white lotus seeds, with subtle lightning arcs jumping faintly.
“This...is too expensive.”
Chen Qingshuang tried her best to remove her eyes from these treasures, lowered her head and said.
These treasures that Lu Xuan took out were extremely precious to her, so much so that she was embarrassed to accept them.
“It doesn’t matter, this is what you deserve as a nephew, and it can be regarded as a little care for Master Chen’s descendants.”
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
