Xie Jiuniang took the three of them for a walk around Zhengyang Peak.
Then let them choose a place to build a small courtyard and live inside the inner gate.
The spiritual energy of the inner gate is indeed richer than that of the outer gate. At the same time, Xie Jiuniang stated that she would give 30% of the annual harvest as a reward.
During this time, Qiao Shiyun came and said that she wanted to apologize on behalf of her sister and give this year's harvest to Xie Jiuniang.
Xie Jiuniang checked the contents of the storage bag and found that they were all spiritual fruits and plants.
In terms of quantity, it is indeed about half of the harvest.
Qiao Shiyun did not withhold the other part, thinking of it as apology for her sister's previous offense.
Xie Jiuniang accepted it with a smile, and then sent a note to inform Chaoyan of the matter.
Chao Yan asked her to keep it for herself, saying that all the harvest from Zhengyang Peak would belong to her in the future.
Then Chao Yan informed her, "Disciple, I plan to go into seclusion. If everything goes well, I will come out in three to five years. If you have any questions about cultivation, please ask your uncle Chao Ruo. I have already made arrangements..."
It would take at least several years for a Nascent Soul cultivator to go into seclusion.
Xie Jiuniang didn't tell him that, in fact, she also planned to go into seclusion.
Last time I bought a batch of spiritual jade in the market, which can be used to make jade talismans.
At this time, Xie Jiuniang returned to her cave and checked the letter from her parents.
The content was basically about letting her know she was safe and asking her to take good care of herself.
A few days passed, during which time Bai Mudan came to see her once.
The one who brought Bai Ruiting the news was that Lao He had agreed to her conditions for repaying her favor.
Xie Jiuniang immediately wrote a letter, put it together with a bottle of top-grade spiritual liquid in a wooden box, and asked Bai Mudan to pass it to Bai Ruiting, and then to Lao He.
This time, Xie Jiuniang really went into seclusion.
…
Time flies, just like a white horse passing by in the blink of an eye.
Four years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhengyang Peak is lush and green, full of vitality, and well-maintained.
It is the harvest season again. The spiritual fruit garden is full of fruits. There is almost no wasted land. Everything that can be planted is planted there. Various flowers and plants are planted in ordinary places, and spiritual honey is also grown.
There were several disciples working very diligently.
Chao Yan’s cultivation level has reached a higher level, reaching the great perfection of Nascent Soul.
The first thing he did after coming out of seclusion was to scan the entire Zhengyang Peak with his spiritual sense.
I was surprised to see that Zhengyang Peak was obviously different from that of four years ago.
The young disciple has managed Zhengyang Peak well.
But soon, he was slapped in the face...
The reason was that the disciple was nowhere to be seen, but his cave was closed, with a sign outside saying he was in seclusion. He asked a disciple and learned that the disciple had been in seclusion for four years.
Chao Yan, "…"
He just started to go into seclusion and she followed right after him
Looking at Xie Xu again, Chao Yan asked, "Are you from the Yuanxi family?"
"Yes, I'm inner sect disciple Xie Xu, meeting Master Chaoyan." Xie Xu had established his foundation three years ago and chose to go to Zhen Peak, but he still managed Zhengyang Peak for Xie Jiuniang.
At the same time, several descendants of the Xie family also came, all of whom had already established their foundation.
Several people chose to come to the main peak and help manage Zhengyang Peak.
Chao Yan knew that they were his disciples, so he was not surprised. He just nodded and left, thinking of going to the main peak first to find his senior brother, the sect leader, and then to pay a visit to his master Qiansha.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the main peak, he not only saw Chao Ruo, but also Qian Sha.
Chao Yan stepped forward and saluted, "Disciple greets Master."
Chao Ruo looked at Chao Yan for a few times, "Have you refined the Pure World Lotus? ... Have you solved the hidden danger?"
"This time it's all thanks to my disciple."
Chao Yan answered with a smile, which was considered as accepting it.
Under the gaze of his master and senior brothers, Chao Yan's thoughts moved slightly.
A colorful phantom of a red bird emerged, hovering proudly over Chao Yan, its feathers like fire and flames, its body gleaming with dazzling colors. It looked indifferently at the strongest Qiansha on the first seat, and a faint divine beast's pressure overflowed.
Qiansha smiled silently, "Little guy, you only have your soul left, and you still dare to protest against me?"
"Master, haha, no, no."
Chao Yan quickly contacted Zhuque, saying that everyone here was his own people, "Little Zhuque, let my master check if there are any hidden dangers left in you."
Zhuque tilted his head, glanced at Qiansha, and nodded after a moment.
Qiansha used the Eye of Delusion to carefully examine Zhuque's soul. "The evil spirit has disappeared. There is no problem now."
Chao Ruo smiled brightly, "That's great, finally everything is fine."
“This is all thanks to the Pure World Lotus. Alas, I didn’t think of asking for the Pure World Lotus at first, but my disciple was so filial that he insisted on honoring me, his master…” Chao Yan talked about his daily life in a casual tone.
This boastful tone was only possible thanks to Qiansha and Chaoruo's good self-control.
Seeing that Chao Yan still wanted to show off, Qian Sha raised his hand and waved, and Chao Yan quickly blocked the attack.
Zhuque didn't want to play with them anymore and slipped back into Chaoyan's sea of consciousness.
When Chao Yan was young, he was also a famous figure, and he specialized in fire-related skills. Later, he remained silent for hundreds of years, and his cultivation did not improve at all. A big reason for this was that he had contracted the soul of a mythical beast, the Vermillion Bird.
I originally thought it was a great opportunity, but after the contract was successful I realized that there was a pitfall in this great opportunity.
Suzaku's soul was contaminated by evil spirit, causing Chao Yan to almost go insane. It was Qiansha who acted in time to seal Suzaku.
Over the past few hundred years, Chao Yan has been consolidating the seal and helping Suzaku resist the evil spirit, consuming countless resources.
Look, just after getting rid of the evil spirit, Chao Yan didn’t need to practice much and his cultivation level jumped to the Nascent Soul stage.
Qiansha gave a few instructions and then left.
The two brothers stayed behind and chatted, and the topic turned to Xie Jiuniang.
Chao Ruo said, "I haven't seen your disciple in the past few years. I heard that he was in seclusion."
"She is indeed in seclusion. She is just too diligent. She used to be in seclusion every day when she was in the outer sect..." Chao Yan started to show off again.
Hearing Chao Ruo's expressionless face, he wanted to drive him away, "Alright, alright, the Luyuan Secret Realm of the Northern Territory Sword Sect is about to open, do you want a spot?"
"I already have an apprentice, of course." Chao Yan spoke without thinking.
Chao Ruo asked, "Didn't your disciple go into seclusion? He opened it in less than half a year."
"We have to find her out even if we are in seclusion. The Luyuan Secret Realm only appears once every fifty years. We can't miss it just because we are in seclusion."
The secret realm is equivalent to a place of opportunity. If you miss it once, you may miss the opportunity.
Like the Tianshui Secret Realm, the Luyuan Secret Realm is a secret realm controlled by a large sect, and only cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage or below can enter.
The quota of Tianxu Sect was exchanged with that of Jian Sect. The number of quota is very limited, only 500.
One place can be obtained under the name of Huashen, and the remaining places can only be selected from the combat power list. The allocation rules are the same as those for the places in the Tianhuo Secret Realm.
Chao Yan didn't want Xie Jiuniang to miss it.
Otherwise, by the time the Luyuan Secret Realm opens next time, Xie Jiuniang might have already formed a pill with her talent.
Chao Ruo handed a secret realm token to Chao Yan.
This quota does not belong to Chao Yan, but to Qian Sha.
