Chapter 405: Chapter 25 Fox Fairy Tushan Miao

Lu Chan stretched out her hand to caress her face, and within her gaze her hand was no longer as gaunt as a withered branch, touching her face had become warm and smooth.

She looked inward at her Qi Sea, all the Gu Poison and scars had vanished, replaced by a wisp of clear Qi encircling the Qi Sea.

With her Dao Realm cultivation, she could not comprehend what this clear Qi was, she could only see it, see it in a way that mortals can understand.

She only knew of its existence but could not comprehend it.

In front of this wisp of clear Qi, Lu Chan had become completely a mortal.

This was irrational and unheard of.

Perhaps only imagination could achieve this, or perhaps it was she, not others, who had become deluded.

Her attention soon returned to Gu Wen, smiling she said, "If it’s an Illusion Technique, I think it wouldn’t be too bad."

After speaking, Lu Chan revealed mysterious patterns in her palm, condensed a talisman out of thin air, and then slammed her palm onto her Dantian.

In an instant, her aura dropped to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Gu Wen, seeing this, did not stop her because such behavior was harmless, although he watched somewhat puzzled.

He asked, "Why do you seal your own cultivation?"

Lu Chan replied, "A great power has millions more thoughts than a mortal, a mortal’s dream can awaken, a great power’s dream is like a lifetime. How can I ensure that, when I see Brother Hongchen again, I am not deluded, and how can I be sure that I am not currently slaughtering my kin?"

She shook her head and answered her own question, "I cannot guarantee any of these, hence I seal my own cultivation."

"Do you intend to continue like this?"

"Once I am able to comprehend the clear Qi of Brother Hongchen, I can then be certain of the truth."

"You are also stubborn,"

Gu Wen grasped her hand, wrote down the character for ’defend,’ and said, "If you can comprehend it, perhaps you could become an Immortal."

Lu Chan covered her mouth and lightly laughed, "Brother’s words do match what I have in mind, and sound more like an illusion of the Heart Demon."

In these eight hundred years, she had thought countless times about what heights Gu Wen could have reached if he had not been imprisoned in the Immortal Land.

This world never lacked geniuses, and since ancient times has not been without exceptional talents, but history has never seen an Immortal under a hundred years old. Nor one whose foundation was so fulfilled before even becoming an Immortal.

Much like how people often armchair general, always fond of discussing who’s stronger and who’s weaker.

"That’s enough, you little demoness, always a ’Brother’ this and ’Brother’ that, you really have no shame."

Chi Yu Zi came over and interrupted their conversation, his brows furrowed, his eyes filled with a murderous look, carrying a bit of contempt and obscurity.

"You’re a few decades older than Gu Wen, how do you have the face to call him ’Brother’?"

Although Chi Yu Zi had anticipated Lu Chan’s shamelessness, he hadn’t expected her to be so unabashed, directly addressing with ’Brother’ repeatedly.

Lu Chan, not at all angered by Chi Yu Zi’s aggression, instead smiled and answered, "Those who are advanced in cultivation are revered as elders, besides, considering our lifespan now, a gap of a few decades is no different from a gap of a few days. You could also call him Brother Hongchen, I believe he wouldn’t mind."

"Even if I die, I will not call him ’Brother’!"

Chi Yu Zi calmed his emotions, then up and down sized up the other’s stature; she was actually half a foot taller.

In an instant, Chi Venerable’s spine straightened.

Seeming to notice her comparative gaze, Lu Chan maturely did not quibble and turned her attention to the other two.

One, disheveled, his Daoist robe open at the chest, was a middle-aged man, the other was the towering Xie Yunnan.

She knew of the latter, he was Xiao Yunyi’s true disciple. The former she didn’t recognize, and she couldn’t sense the level of his realm.

Could he also be an Immortal?

"Who is this senior?"

"Xuan Yue, a prisoner of lesser standing, you need not concern yourself."

Upon hearing the name "Xuan Yue," Lu Chan’s expression slightly changed but she quickly regained her composure and said, "He has rooted himself in Huajian State. I wonder if his subordinates have been eradicated."

"He has no subordinates, just an old man who hides underground practicing alchemy."

Gu Wen answered, expressing no objections to this evaluation of Xuan Yue.

He is a Saint. What he says goes, and Xuan Yue is definitely a staunch supporter of the survival of the fittest. Even if the whip falls on his own back, he would think it only natural.

Then, Lu Chan invited Chi Yu Zi and Gu Wen to sit down, and the three of them casually chatted about what they had seen and heard at the Ninghua Sect.

The last sect leader of Ninghua Sect died at the Yin Yang Union Sect. The latter also had dealings with Devil Clan Evil Cultivators, acting as a second-hand dealer for Xuan Yue. Nowadays, a significant portion of high-end pills among the evils comes from Xuan Yue, and the seller is the Yin Yang Union Sect.

This was undoubtedly a shocking case, but in Gu Wen’s mouth, it became incredibly lightweight.

Lu Chan generously praised, "Brother’s actions are extraordinary, capturing the leader of the evils in one move."

Gu Wen responded indifferently, "I just happened to see him and just happened to have the ability to deal with it. It’s that simple."

As all contradictions are a problem of productive forces, so are all conflicts a matter of fists.

Before this, there were people who had suspected the Ninghua Sect. There weren’t many problems with spirit veins under heaven; investigating them one by one would always reveal something. But because Xuan Yue achieved immortality, the Daoist Sect didn’t find any issues.

Gu Wen asked, "Do you still wish to be this Venerable?"

Lu Chan discerned the implied meaning in his words but still shook her head and refused, "Although the Yin Yang Union Sect has problems, our Qianfeng Sect also has issues, and we deserve punishment."

"Let it be so, what do you plan to do from now on?"

As soon as Gu Wen spoke these words, Chi Yu Zi instantly became alert.

This guy wouldn’t be thinking about tagging along, right?

"Cultivate, practice alchemy, become an Immortal."

Lu Chan answered without a second thought, then paused for a moment, and with a bright smile, she said, "And, to learn about Brother’s exploits, wherever you go, whoever you defeat, that would be enough."

Gu Wen smiled and said, "Then let us keep in touch often through letters."

"Is that possible?" Lu Chan’s eyes widened, looking somewhat flattered.

"Of course, it is."

Gu Wen plucked a strand of hair, blew on it, and the hair transformed into a black swallow, landing on Lu Chan’s shoulder.

"If you have any problems in the future, you can message me; even without problems, we can chat."

"Thank you, Brother!"

Lu Chan’s delicate face broke into a happy smile as she held the black swallow as if it were a treasure.

Chi Yu Zi turned his head away, thinking it was better this way than having the fox spirit tag along. Xie Yunnan finally understood the situation and felt slightly disappointed because these two senior uncles were indeed very pure.

Xuan Yue was most utilitarian; he was calculating what a great opportunity it would be to be able to contact a Saint anytime.

"Xuan Yue, why are you here?"

Suddenly, a hand rested on his shoulder, and several furry tails emerged from behind.

Xuan Yue slightly turned his head, and from the corner of his eye, he glimpsed a face so beautiful it was almost devilish; even he couldn’t help but tremble under her gaze.

The appearance of the flesh had never moved his heart, but below this guise was the charm of attraction, encompassing myriad understandings of beauty in the world.

Her birth was unimportant, but she represented all of being’s demands for beauty.

Fox Fairy Tushan Miao.

Gu Wen also noticed the sudden appearance of the strange woman, and seeing her face, his gaze remained calm, without a ripple.

The laws of the universe couldn’t affect him in the slightest.

The Fox Fairy bowed slightly and said, "Tushan Miao, greets the Saint Venerable."

In terms of seniority, he should call her senior uncle, but in terms of power, she should wag her tail.
