Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

Chapter 278: The Second Senior Brother in the Immortal Cultivation Story (2)

Before the competition, almost all the disciples were training hard. This was not only a grand event that happened once every thirty years, but also an opportunity to leave a name for themselves early on.

Now, the mainstays of the major sects have basically appeared in the competition, and some have even been recorded on the photo stones. These people can be regarded as legendary figures, and their stories are still circulating today.

——On the eve of the competition

The first ten days of competition were the home turf for the sword cultivators. As the most powerful cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation, they spent the longest time in the competition.

"I'm really getting more and more uneasy. The furnace exploded three times today while I was refining the elixir." Yuan Junyue sighed.

"Then let's stop for now. We can still go and watch the sword competition tomorrow during the day." Chen Xuyan was also ready to see the performance of He Shuangqing and the sect master's other two disciples.

The sword cultivators of the Tianyan Immortal Sect were facing the talisman cultivators of the Xuanfu Ling Sect, as well as the beast cultivators and martial cultivators of the Zhenwu Immortal Sect, and even a very small number of sword cultivators from these two sects.

Yuan Junyue actually didn't have much interest in watching it, and after watching it, he became even more afraid of losing.

"How about we go out for a walk?" he suggested.

He has been saying that he wants to go out for a walk since the first day he came to Xuanfu Lingzong, but it has never happened. Don't wait until the alchemy competition is over and he is about to leave, and then he won't have a chance to go out for a good walk.

Chen Xuyan nodded, "Okay."

At first, he only used his spiritual sense to roughly scan the area around the Jinque Palace. Because he was afraid of being driven away by the Xuanfu Lingzong's formation, he did not dare to explore too far.

Yuan Junyue took out the map Yuan Junyao had given him, looked at it carefully, and said, "Let's go to the Xianzong Pavilion in the Ghost Palace. My brother said the scenery there is very unique, and ghost cultivators generally don't like to move around during the day."

"Okay." Chen Xuyan glanced at the map.

——On the way to the Ghost Palace

Although the name of the Ghost Palace sounds very eerie, the overall building is not deliberately designed to avoid light, and the architectural style is spacious and exquisite.

"Look!" Yuan Junyue pointed to a place and Chen Xuyan looked over there.

"So this backward-flowing waterfall is what my brother called a unique scenery."

The backward-flowing waterfall was a natural spring on the ground. He wondered what kind of talisman array was used to make the water flow backward, and where did it flow to? Chen Xuyan's spiritual sense followed the direction of the waterfall. The limit of his exploration was just one of the eaves of the Ghost Palace. He couldn't explore any further. He didn't have the habit of prying into other people's privacy.

The backward flowing water, the backward flowing waterfall, the backward flowing water array along the corner of the wall to the eaves, what a wonderful idea.

Yuan Junyue's spiritual jade moved, and he looked down at the spiritual message.

"My brother has come out of confinement. Let me go find him now. You come with me!" Yuan Junyue put away the map.

Chen Xuyan shook his head and said, "No need, I'll walk around by myself, you go ahead."

Yuan Junyue asked again unwillingly, "Are you really not going? My brother is actually quite quiet and doesn't have much to say. Whenever I'm with him, I'm usually the only one doing the talking."

"You don't have to be embarrassed. Just pretend he doesn't exist. Talk to me if you have anything to say."

"No need." Chen Xuyan refused again with a firm attitude.

"Okay then, I'll be leaving first." After saying that, Yuan Junyue took out the map again and circled a few places on it.

He handed the map to Chen Xuyan and said, "These places were recommended by my brother. Go and have a look first. I'll come find you if I'm free."

"If you haven't received my spiritual message, it means I'm too busy."

Chen Xuyan rolled up the map and said, "Go quickly."

After Yuan Junyue left, Chen Xuyan did not continue to wander around, but sat down and prepared to practice for a while.

Since the Ghost Palace's people usually didn't go out during the day, he could practice for a while. After returning to the sect, he would strive for the fourth level of the Golden Core. When he reached the Nascent Soul stage, he would return to the Qingyun Sect for revenge and return to the mortal world to visit his original body's parents.

Not long after he sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, a sneaky figure approached him. Chen Xuyan suddenly opened his eyes and saw the enlarged face of the drunkard.

Chen Xuyan immediately calmed down and said, "Senior, why are you here?"

Zhongli Quan smiled and sat on the ground. "I already told you that I was from the Xuanfu Lingzong. Didn't I say goodbye to you then?"

"Goodbye?" How come he has no recollection of this?

"Maybe you just have a bad memory. You young people just have a terrible memory." Zhongli Quan sat for a while and felt the ground was a little cold, so he took out a cushion he had found and put it on the ground.

He also invited Chen Xuyan to sit with him, "You sit too, this cushion is really comfortable. If I had known he had this thing, I should have taken it earlier. I wouldn't have to sit on the ground when setting up the stall."

Chen Xuyan took a look at the luxurious cushions and felt embarrassed to sit down with him.

"No need, I'll be fine sitting on the ground."

It seemed that this drunkard and beggar were most likely elders of the Xuanfu Spiritual Sect. It was unclear why they had come to the market at the foot of the Tianyan Immortal Sect to set up stalls and beg for food. Since meeting him three years ago, Chen Xuyan had even seen him in the Baicao Garden. He was surprised that he could break through the restrictions and even master a strange invisibility technique.

He could see him and the other beggar, but the other people in Baicao Garden didn't know there was someone opposite them.

Yuan Junyue also said at the time that he was hallucinating and having visual and auditory hallucinations.

Unexpectedly, they were not elders of the Tianyan Immortal Sect, but elders of the Xuanfu Spiritual Sect, and no one knew how advanced their cultivation had reached.

At least he is a Mahayana cultivator.

Could it be Hua Jiuyao and Liu Fufeng from Xuanfu Lingzong?

But this was completely different from the rumors. Hua Jiuyao was supposed to be cold as ice, and Liu Fufeng was supposed to be someone who cared deeply about his image. It seemed he was a reclusive elder of the Xuanfu Ling Sect. All three major immortal sects had such people, and they took orders directly from their leader.

"cough."

"What do you think about the matter of me telling you before about becoming my apprentice?" Zhongli Quan looked at him expectantly.

After the beggar, now this drunkard also wants to take me in as his apprentice?

"I already have a master. You should have met Elder Yang from Baicao Garden before." Chen Xuyan tried to dissuade him.

Zhongli Quan sneered, "The alchemists of the Tianyan Immortal Sect are all people with little ability. You might as well learn from me. Not only am I better than them at alchemy, I'm also better in other aspects."

"I can do everything. I am invincible."

Chen Xuyan smiled awkwardly. Although he was a reclusive elder, he shouldn't be so crazy.

He had talked so much with other monks who tried to buy his things at the foot of the mountain. This could be considered as communication. Even later, every time Chen Xuyan went to the market, he would see them arguing.

His expression became questioning in Zhongli Quan's eyes.

"Would you like to try it?" Zhongli Quan took out a bottle of pills and gave it to him.

After hearing this, Chen Xuyan's eyes were filled with disbelief.
