58: Chapter 17 Ascension Elixir

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

Chen Xuan drove Dudu and the Danhong Crane to herd the school of fish.

These Red Fox Semi-Spirit Fish had already grown plump and would be mature in about half a year.

But could he really wait until then?

During this month, Chen Xuan had gained hundreds of Spirit Stones through the heavenly secret jade slip.

At the same time, he had taken the qingling pill to completely purge the pill toxins; this Glazed Body Body Refining Cultivation Technique was absolutely a divine body for resisting toxins, as after using the qingling pill, he was almost entirely free from pill toxins.

His cultivation had also stabilized at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and with about half a year of practice, he would be able to break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining.

Of course, Chen Xuan's other skills had not been idle, except that he lacked a Pill Furnace and could not perform Alchemy.

Chen Xuan practiced Talisman making; hundreds of High Grade Talisman appeared in his hands, and there was even one of Heavenly Grade.

This was something he hadn't achieved in his previous life; he was truly lucky!

Chen Xuan smiled indifferently and unfolded a gold-stamped invitation in his hand.

"Lightless Sea, Fishing Competition."

Chen Xuan muttered, heading toward the island in the center of Biling Lake.

This was his first time stepping onto this island.

The buildings on the island were not as magnificent as he had imagined, but rather full of simplicity.

The members of the Xiao Clan living on it looked at Chen Xuan with curious eyes.

Now, Chen Xuan was wearing a High Grade Dharma robe, his hair tied in a Daoist bun, his face ordinary, but his temperament extraordinary.

"Brother Yun, you've finally come." Xiao Muting revealed a smile.

Suddenly, gasps of astonishment came from the surroundings.

"Eh, he can actually smile?"

"And there's someone he cares about this much? Won't the women of the clan be heartbroken?"

"Who could earn his regard?"

...

Chen Xuan cupped his hands: "Long time no see, Mu Ting, and Brother Ye."

Chen Xuan looked at Xiao Muting and Xiao Ye, who had been waiting for a long time.

Today was the day that would determine the fate of the Xiao Clan, and also the day that would determine Chen Xuan's Dao path.

"Let's go, get on the spirit boat first; the Lightless Sea is in the central area of the Long Sea." An Elder of the Xiao Clan spoke.

The three of them immediately went up.

"Brother Yun, your aura has risen greatly. Congratulations on your cultivation Breakthrough; your Dao has advanced further." Xiao Muting cupped his hands.

Chen Xuan smiled and said: "Brother Mu Ting, what are you saying?"

With Xiao Muting's Aptitude, he was probably capable of breaking through to Foundation Establishment long ago; he wondered what he was waiting for.

Could it be that he wanted a Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment?

Xiao Ye also repeatedly congratulated Chen Xuan, and at the same time handed over an object: "By the way, Brother Yun, this is a local specialty of our clan, Second Grade spirit water. I'll gift you a portion."

Chen Xuan smiled and nodded as he accepted it, feeling a bit embarrassed.

This guy Xiao Ye was overly enthusiastic, though his gaze was no different from a star-struck girl.

No need to be vigilant, brother, you are amazing.

Xiao Ye said:

"For this competition, our clan has staked everything!"

"If we fail, several women in our clan will have to submit to others. Our clan is weak now, the Wang Clan is strong, and our clan is experiencing a gap between generations. The next Foundation Establishment major Cultivator has yet to be born, and the Old Ancestor is advanced in age, so he is filled with worry!"

Xiao Muting was exceptionally calm: "No need to talk to Brother Yun about our clan's affairs; just compete well today."

Then, the Xiao Clan Elder began to explain the rules: "The fishing competition has a history of several thousand years; it has existed since the Liuyang Sword Sect was founded."

"First is for the personnel of each clan to dance with swords to liven up the atmosphere; this time, Chen Xuan and Xiao Ye will be responsible."

"Next is the main competition, fishing within one day, stopping at sunset."

"The three major families will compete, and an Elder from the Liuyang Sword Sect will act as the judge."

"The judgment will be based on the quantity, rarity, and value of the spirit fish caught."

"I ask the three of you to exert your lifelong skills; this matter concerns the rise and fall of our Xiao Clan!"

The Xiao Clan Elder cupped his hands and bowed deeply.

"Elder Xiao, don't be like this; this trip will surely be a victory." Chen Xuan hurriedly helped the Xiao Clan Elder up.

This kind of clan Elder was wholeheartedly dedicated to the Family.

In his previous life, in the Chen Family Talisman Workshop, there were many such clan Elders.

They were all devoted, kind-hearted people.

Chen Xuan had seen many such old men who worked themselves to the bone for their families.

Inside the spirit boat, the three of them ate spirit fruits and chatted about the trends near the Long Sea.

Chen Xuan was surprised that the Spiritual Root potion had actually appeared.

The Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce would hold an auction in three years at Fusheng Immortal City for a Spiritual Root potion that could raise a Low Grade Spiritual Root to a Medium Grade Spiritual Root!

This potion was named [ascension spirit liquid]!

It was said to be developed based on the principle of the Creation Spirit Liquid; tens of thousands of Fellow Daoists had paid a huge price for this, and many Cultivators even had their Spiritual Roots severed during verification.

However, the Spiritual Root potion had finally been brought into the world.

This shocking cultivation advancement gave all families and Loose Cultivator, except for the The Three Sects, a huge shock.

So much so that the invitation letter for the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce was hyped up to one thousand Spirit Stones per copy.

The Cultivators recruited by the The Three Sects almost all had Medium Grade Spiritual Roots, so naturally, they would not care too much about the [ascension spirit liquid]!

The small talk ended, and the spirit boat sailed across the dividing line between the light blue and dark blue sea.

After another two hours, they arrived at the Lightless Sea.

Cultivators from the three clans descended from the spirit boats one after another; on the Lightless Sea, huge floating duckweeds were connected to each other.

They floated on the sea surface like land.

The surging waves outside seemed to become silent once they entered the Lightless Sea.

It seemed that all great power was silenced in the Lightless Sea, unable to stir up waves.

As soon as Chen Xuan entered the Lightless Sea, he felt his mana begin to go silent.

This feeling was as if he had fallen asleep; his mana could not be awakened and remained silent within his body.

Only his spiritual sense could still be used, and his physique was unaffected.

This was actually a unique feature.

The world of immortality was vast and boundless, possessing countless mysteries, and Chen Xuan naturally could not know them all.

From afar, the Xiao Clan Elder saw the people of the white-robed Wang Clan.

And the members of the Chen Clan further away.

The three major families had almost all arrived.

And the Elder wearing the black and white Daoist robe of the Liuyang Sword Sect also arrived with a group of Disciples.

"Everyone, since you have arrived, please take your seats." Seeing that all three major families had arrived, the Elder greeted everyone to take their seats.

The sword dance segment was about to begin!

This segment was participated in by the Outer Sect Disciple of the Liuyang Sword Sect and the three major families.

The main purpose was to showcase the strength of the new generation and to comment on sword techniques.

After all, the Liuyang Sword Sect lived by the sword.

Tables and platforms for sword dancing had already been set up on the duckweeds.

Glazed lamps were burning with purple flames, looking extraordinarily beautiful, and also making this fishing competition particularly stylish.

"Elder Liu, it's actually you who came." The Xiao Clan Elder was polite.

"Xiao Xuan, you old guy aren't dead yet!" Elder Liu laughed, it seemed the two had a history.

"Even if I'm not dead, I'm close. What about you? You promised to marry your granddaughter to my grandson; you cannot go back on your word."

"That is natural."

The Xiao Clan Elder chatted familiarly.

The Liuyang Sword Sect, like the Fusheng Sect, had three major forces internally: the Southern Sky Zhang Clan; the Lan Yue Zhu Clan; and the Central Province Liu Clan.

Among them, the Central Province Liu Clan was naturally the most respected; they were the main lineage of the current Liuyang Sword Sect and possessed the Nascent Soul Legacy.

Chen Xuan also followed and took his seat.

However, three heavenly secret jade slips floated up before his eyes:

[Today's fortune: Medium Good.]

[Today's heavenly secret: Crouching Dragon.]

[Today's destiny: Fisherman.]

[Small Good: Go to the central area of the Long Sea to fish; there are wandering spirit fish that can be caught using the special bait 'Ten-Mile Fragrance'.]

[Great Good: Go to the Lightless Sea in the central area of the Long Sea to fish; there is a wandering, harmless Second Grade spirit fish, Bilinglong, which can be caught using the special bait 'Heaven-Swallowing Azure Dragon'.]

[Great Ominous: A Water Nightmare is running rampant and causing chaos in the core area of the Long Sea; it has already become a climate and is gradually growing stronger. Killing it may yield Biling Blood, Water Spirit Qi, Water Spirit Beads, etc., which can be used to refine Moonlight and upgrade water veins.]
