Chapter 1348 The Big Sister Next Door Arrives, Inviting Little Xing'er to Join the Heavenly Thu

The spirit stones in Young Master Gu's spatial ring, plus the spirit stones in the Nine Dragons Village treasury, totaled tens of thousands, and were piled up into a small mountain in the cave.

There are also many spiritual herbs and medicines, as well as beast crystals and beast cores.

These spirit stones, along with the spirit herbs and medicines, are enough to restore Chen Yang's combat power to its peak, heal all the hidden injuries in his body, and allow him to break through to the Golden Core stage at any time.

His method of refining spirit stones differed from others; he refined them one by one, slowly and deliberately.

If we were to refine these tens of thousands of spirit stones one by one, who knows how long it would take.

He was in a hurry because the gate to the Spirit Ruins would open soon, and the opening wouldn't last long. He had to make sure he could enter the Spirit Ruins Secret Realm.

Click!

He held a spirit stone in his hand and crushed it.

The spirit stone, once crushed, instantly transforms into abundant spiritual energy.

Before the spiritual energy could disperse, Chen Yang opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing all of it directly into his stomach.

The Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Technique circulated rapidly within the body, converting spiritual energy into true energy at an extremely fast pace.

Click! Click! ...

He crushed one spirit stone after another with incredible efficiency, crushing and refining several thousand spirit stones on the first day alone.

At this rate, it will only take a week to refine all these spirit stones.

As he refined the spirit stones, the hidden injuries on his body continued to heal, and his aura continued to rise.

"Ahhh, let me go, let me out."

From within Shennong's Fire-Separating Cauldron, the screams of a divine beast from the void echoed.

After only one day of burning, this guy, who claimed to be invulnerable to swords and spears, fire and water, and who was also stubborn, was starting to feel the effects.

This is because the flames spewed out by Zhuque Xiaoli are not ordinary flames, but Nanming Li Fire, a divine fire of heaven and earth.

No matter how superior its Void Beast bloodline is, can it be superior to the Vermilion Bird's?

The Vermilion Bird is one of the four divine beasts of ancient times, and it belongs to the first tier of divine beasts in the vast universe.

Although the Void Beast is also a divine beast, it has a shifty appearance and often engages in sneak attacks, making it unsuitable for refined pursuits.

Chen Yang ignored the Void Beast's screams, letting it continue to be burned inside the Shennong Fire Cauldron. Even if he released it now, it wouldn't truly submit and might even turn on him. Escaping would only make things worse.

Chen Yang wanted to burn him half to death, bringing him to the brink of annihilation, so that he would truly submit.

On the second day, Chen Yang continued refining the spirit stones.

The screams of the divine beast inside the Shennong Fire Cauldron grew even louder, and it even uttered filthy words, cursing Chen Yang to die a horrible death, just like humans.

The reason it cried out so horribly and cursed so horribly must be that the burning flames were pushing its body to its limits.

Chen Yang remained focused on refining his spirit stones, ignoring all other sounds.

Before we knew it, it was the fourth day.

From that day on, the cries of the Void Beasts began to subside, and they stopped leaping and bounding about as before. Instead, they huddled in a corner, panting heavily.

The Shennong Fire Cauldron was scorched red-hot, so you can imagine how high the temperature inside must have been.

The Void Beast managed to survive for four days without dying, demonstrating its remarkable resilience and truly deserving of the title "Void Warrior."

Chen Yang did not stop; Zhuque Xiaoli continued to spew flames, only the intensity of the flames had decreased.

For Chen Yang, maximizing his benefits meant that the Void Beasts were willing to serve as his mounts.

Its value would be greatly reduced if used for making medicine.

If Chen Yang were to use a Void Beast for alchemy, it would be difficult to refine a large-scale medicine with Void attributes given the resources he had.

Therefore, Chen Yang's desire to use the Void Beast for alchemy was not strong.

If a Void Beast is willing to be his mount or servant, it's equivalent to having a capable assistant by his side, which is more practical than using the Void Beast for alchemy.

In particular, the Void Beast's ability to traverse the void is like a void ghost, appearing and disappearing without a trace, making it unafraid even when facing a Nascent Soul cultivator, because if it can't win, it can always run away.

The Void Beast fled, traversing the void, and even Nascent Soul cultivators would likely be powerless to help it.

Therefore, Chen Yang used the Li Huo Treasure Cauldron to burn the Void Divine Beast not to kill it, but to process and refine it, so that it would submit.

Just like training a hawk, once it's successfully trained, it can be summoned at will and dismissed at will.

……

Xinghua Village at the foot of Mangshan Mountain.

However, in the blink of an eye, four days had passed since Chen Yang left, and Xiao Xing'er had been guarding the door for four days.

Although she knew Chen Yang couldn't possibly come back so soon, she still couldn't help but wait at the door.

She hoped for a miracle, that maybe Chen Yang would come back.

Chen Yang said that she had extremely high talent for cultivating immortality, possessed the Eternal Fire Phoenix Body, and promised to take her as his disciple, teach her supernatural powers and techniques, and the methods of cultivating immortality, giving her a different possibility from a life that seemed to have no end in sight.

As it turned out, on the fourth day, a miracle really happened, but instead of Chen Yang, it was the girl next door, Zhang Xiaoyue, who arrived.

She, too, longed for this older sister next door.

Zhang Xiaoyue arrived on her sword and went straight to Xiao Xing'er's house, keeping a very low profile and not disturbing the whole village.

"Sister Xiaoyue, what brings you here?" Xiaoxing'er exclaimed in surprise and rushed to greet her.

It has been several years since she last saw Sister Xiaoyue.

Like Xiao Xing'er, Zhang Xiaoyue was a beauty from a young age. After joining the Heavenly Thunder Sect, she cultivated immortality and her temperament was elevated, making her even more stunningly beautiful.

She had long, black, beautiful hair, a graceful figure, and exquisitely sculpted features, with every angle possessing stunning beauty.

Her skin was like polished ivory, snow-white and delicate, so smooth it seemed to break at a touch; her eyebrows were arched and elegant, her eyes like pools of autumn water, and she was like a fairy on the water, possessing a beauty that could topple kingdoms.

In the secular world, a woman like this walking down the street would definitely charm a lot of men.

"Xing'er, I can't believe you've grown so tall and grown into a young lady. Let your older sister take a good look at you." Zhang Xiaoyue said with a smile, squatting down in front of little Xing'er and cupping her delicate face in her hands.

It is said that girls change a lot as they grow up, and after not seeing her for a few years, Xiao Xing'er has indeed changed a lot in her eyes.

She absolutely adored this little girl next door; she was so endearing and had a very good rapport with her.

In her hometown of Xinghua Village, the only thing she still worries about is little Xing'er.

"Our Xing'er is so beautiful. When she grows up, she'll definitely be an absolute beauty who can charm countless men," Zhang Xiaoyue praised, not as a polite remark, but from the bottom of her heart.

"Sister Xiaoyue, you're so beautiful, like a fairy. No matter how beautiful I am, I can't compare to you," Xiaoxing said, her cheeks blushing with embarrassment at the compliment.

"You have such a sweet tongue. Xing'er, where are your mom and dad?"

Zhang Xiaoyue pinched Xiaoxing'er's rosy cheeks, stood up, and asked her.

"Xing'er, who are you talking to?"

Just then, the voice of Zhang Xiaoyue's mother, Sister Huang, came from inside the main house.

Following the sound, a still-attractive middle-aged woman walked out of the house. Upon seeing Zhang Xiaoyue, she was stunned and then turned back to call out to the house, "Dashan, Dashan, come out quickly and see who's here."

"Who's here? Who could it be? Could it be Master Chen returning? He's already finished his seclusion after only four days?"

As Zhang Dashan spoke, he walked out of the house, then he was stunned and exclaimed, "Xiaoyue? What are you doing here?"

"Uncle, Aunt, I hope my visit was unannounced and didn't disturb you?" Zhang Xiaoyue said apologetically.

"No, no, please come inside and sit down."

Zhang Dashan quickly invited the people into the house.

Xiao Xing'er's mother even served her tea and water, treating her like the most honored guest.

In fact, not only for Zhang Dashan's family, but for the entire Xinghua Village, Zhang Xiaoyue could be considered a distinguished guest, after all, she was an inner disciple of the Tianlei Sect.

The villagers of Xinghua Village rarely see cultivators of this level on ordinary days.

“Uncle, Aunt, you don’t need to be so polite. I’m here today to talk to you about something, and I have to leave after that. I have other things to do, and I’m in a hurry,” Zhang Xiaoyue said, her face serious.

"what's up?"

Zhang Dashan and his wife were both stunned, unable to imagine what Zhang Xiaoyue could possibly want when she came to their house.

Although the two families are neighbors, Zhang Xiaoyue's family moved to Tianlei City many years ago and became city dwellers, so they are no longer on the same level and therefore do not have much contact.

“Let me be frank. I cultivated in the Thunder God Sect and broke through to the Spirit Refining Realm half a year ago, and was accepted as a true disciple by the sect leader. As a true disciple, I have a privilege: I can invite a young person under the age of eighteen to join the Thunder God Sect. Even if the young person's talent is not high, it doesn't matter. So I came here this time to bring Xiao Xing'er to join the Thunder God Sect,” Zhang Xiaoyue said directly.

Several years ago, Xiao Xing'er went to the Thunder God Sect to have her spiritual root tested, but it was found to be a low-grade spiritual root, and Xiao Xing'er cried her heart out. At that time, Zhang Xiaoyue made a promise that she would definitely break through to the Divine Realm as soon as possible and strive to become a true disciple so that she could bring Xiao Xing'er into the Thunder God Sect.

Even if Xiao Xing'er has a trash spiritual root, and could only be a menial disciple at the beginning of the Thunder God Sect, it would still be better than living in a poor village.

Moreover, with her older sister taking care of her and giving her special instruction, Xiao Xing'er might very well achieve some small successes on the path of cultivation. Perhaps then, the fate of her entire family could be rewritten.

Zhang Xiaoyue has fulfilled the promise she made back then.

"Little Xing'er, you can join the Heavenly Thunder Sect now, and you can cultivate immortality. Aren't you happy? I came here this time to take you back to the sect. Then we can see each other more often."

After saying that, Zhang Xiaoyue asked Xiao Xing'er with a smile.

She had expected Xiao Xing'er to be so happy she would dance with joy and cry her eyes out, but Xiao Xing'er didn't. She looked surprised and dazed, without any joy at all.

Looking at Zhang Dashan and his wife again, they had the same expression, looking at each other as if they had some unspeakable troubles.

"What's wrong, Xiao Xing'er? You don't want to join the Heavenly Thunder Sect anymore? You don't want to cultivate immortality anymore?" Zhang Xiaoyue asked in surprise.

"That's not how it is, Sister Xiaoyue. Actually, I already have a master who promised to guide me in cultivating immortality. So I probably won't be able to join the Heavenly Thunder Sect," Xiaoxing'er said truthfully, feeling quite embarrassed.

"When did this happen? Who promised to guide you in cultivating immortality?" Zhang Xiaoyue asked in surprise, her expression immediately turning serious.

“He’s an older man, and he’s really amazing,” Xiao Xing’er said.

"What uncle? What's his name? Which sect does he come from?" Zhang Xiaoyue pressed.

"Let me tell you. It actually happened just a few days ago..."

Worried that his daughter might not be able to explain it clearly, Zhang Dashan took over the conversation and recounted what had happened a few days ago.

“Uncle Dashan, I’m not trying to be mean, but he’s just a rogue cultivator, he doesn’t even have a sect. What can Xiaoxing’er learn from him? Do you expect her to wander the world with him, wherever he goes, she’ll follow? Enduring wind and rain, sleeping in the open? The key is that Xiaoxing’er is a girl, only a teenager. Can you really trust you? You’re pushing Xiaoxing’er into a fire pit, you’re being foolish!” Zhang Xiaoyue said seriously, almost in a critical tone.

Of course, she was also doing it for Xiao Xing'er's own good. After all, Chen Yang's origins were unknown, and he was a rogue cultivator. If he took Xiao Xing'er away, she would be impossible to find again.

"This……"

Zhang Dashan and his wife exchanged a glance, unsure of what to say.

Zhang Xiaoyue's words made perfect sense. Cultivating immortality requires wealth, companions, methods, and a suitable place. First of all, Chen Yang didn't even have a place to cultivate, let alone a place to settle down, so he couldn't concentrate on taking on disciples.

Especially since Chen Yang is a boy and Zhang Xiaoyue is a girl, the difference between men and women would cause many inconveniences for them to be together.

"There are so many swindlers in the world these days, you must never let anyone cheat you. It's one thing if they cheat you out of money, but Xiao Xing'er is a person, a child. If you get cheated, you'll regret it for the rest of your lives," Zhang Xiaoyue continued.

Zhang Dashan and his wife looked very pale, and felt a wave of fear wash over them.

Looking back now, their decision was indeed somewhat hasty.

Their daughter is the apple of their eye; if anything were to happen to her, they would regret it for the rest of their lives.

Little Xing'er said, "Sister Xiaoyue, Uncle isn't a bad person, he's a good person. He helped our village defeat the bandits, saved my mother and me, and even went into the mountains to destroy the bandits' lair. If Uncle were a bad person, he would never have done these things."

Xiao Xing'er spoke logically and persuasively, trying to exonerate Chen Yang.

Although she is young, she can still distinguish between good and bad people.

"What bandits?" Zhang Xiaoyue asked, her eyes widening suddenly.

"The bandits from Kowloon Village. They came to our Xinghua Village to rob us, almost taking my mother and me away, and even injuring my father. Fortunately, my uncle intervened in time, defeated the bandits, and saved my mother and me."

"Later, to prevent the bandits from retaliating against Xinghua Village, my uncle attacked the stronghold of Jiulongzhai and wiped out all the bandits. After that, Xinghua Village no longer had to worry about being robbed by bandits."

“How could such an uncle be a bad person? He is clearly a chivalrous and righteous good man, a great hero. I cultivate with him, he would never hurt me.”

Xiao Xing'er spoke quickly and directly, her words filled with respect and admiration for Chen Yang.
