98: Chapter 57 A Carefree Life

After absorbing the impact for a good while, Chen Xuan finally left the backyard.

Tasks at the Conquest Hall have become scarce again, with most being missions to subdue demons and eliminate devils.

The rise of the White Lotus Sect has caused the evil cults throughout the Southern Region to dwindle, encroaching upon their living space.

"By the way, Senior Brother Zhang Qian and the Second Senior Brother have returned, while Third Senior Brother Yun He and Senior Sister Wen Yao have gone out for training."

"A year ago, Senior Sister Wen Yao chanced upon a blessed land, where she unexpectedly found a rare treasure of heaven and earth. She immediately refined it and underwent tribulation, so Senior Sister Wen Yao is now at the Foundation Establishment Realm."

Senior Sister Wen Yao underwent tribulation?

During these two years of secluded cultivation, Chen Xuan had also given many gifts to his various Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters.

Although the members of the Conquest Hall did not gather often, they all cultivated in the same courtyard, so they were naturally familiar with one another.

Everyone took good care of Chen Xuan, who was the youngest.

Senior Brother Zhang Qian is a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage. He has been following Master since his early years, is over a hundred years old, and has long been planning for the Golden Core.

It is just a pity that his Aptitude is slightly lacking, so he will likely only be able to achieve the Golden Core through a "False Core."

Unfortunately, achieving the Golden Core via a False Core means it is impossible to nurture Divine Abilities.

One can only cultivate multiple minor Divine Abilities of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and by combining these minor Divine Abilities, they might barely compare to a true Divine Ability.

That is the limit of a False Core.

A False Core is the early stage of the Golden Core, and because it is formed with the help of external objects, the cultivation base is solidified, and the mana is not as pure as that of a true Golden Core Cultivator.

It can be said to be a choice of last resort.

However, achieving a False Core can still increase one's lifespan and combat power.

Therefore, for any Cultivator with some foundation, a False Core is also a fallback option.

Second Senior Sister Xu Miao is not very tall, but she has an amazing figure.

She could be called a harmless, legal loli.

With a cultivation base at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, she has been cultivating for thirty years and is someone with the potential to achieve the Golden Core in the future.

Third Senior Brother Yun He also broke through to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage some time ago.

The entire lineage of Master Liu Yun's Conquest Hall has been seeing steady growth in cultivation.

Chen Xuan's growth is the most terrifying.

He advanced from the Qi Refining Mid-Stage to Perfection.

In just two or three short years, he finished the path that most Cultivators take a lifetime to walk.

Such a Prodigy.

Master Liu Yun thinks very highly of him.

Following Chen Xuan's momentum, perhaps there will be no need to wait for the two of them to produce offspring with special Physiques; Chen Xuan might be able to attain the Golden Core himself!

Or even go further.

The top-tier Spiritual Veins in the Southern Region are only at the third rank. Many Golden Core Masters do not need to nourish their cultivation in Spiritual Veins to avoid regression.

To go further, one must leave the Southern Region.

This is also why the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce is able to receive support.

Many Golden Core Cultivators, like Chen Xuan, have pursuits for the Great Dao.

Achieving the Golden Core is not the end of the Great Dao.

There are always people who want to see the scenery from higher up.

Seeking the Dao, seeking the Dao—it is naturally like this.

Without a firm Dao Heart, one cannot even achieve Foundation Establishment.

Without great perseverance, it cannot be achieved!

Don't be fooled by the appearance of several Foundation Establishment Cultivators during the fight for the exotic fire in the Southern Frontier; in reality, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator is a one-in-ten-thousand existence.

In such a vast area like the Southern Frontier, it would be strange if there were only these few people.

What is the Southern Frontier?

The borderlands of the Southern Region are called the Southern Frontier. It is by no means smaller than the Southern Region and has no boundaries.

Continuing south from the Southern Region leads to the boundless Nanming Volcano. Beyond the Nanming Volcano group, no one knows what lies there.

In short, to achieve Foundation Establishment across the tens of thousands of miles of the Southern Region, one must be one in ten thousand.

Chen Xuan's progress is truly invincible!

This is him, the cultivation of a Reincarnated Prodigy!

Once he encounters the wind and clouds, he will transform into a Dragon.

"It seems everyone has made great progress."

Chen Xuan sighed inwardly.

However, a Golden Core Sect will not produce too many Golden Core Prodigies.

Therefore, even at the Foundation Establishment Perfection stage, like Senior Brother Zhang Qian...

...achieving the Golden Core in the future is still extremely difficult.

"Junior Brother, since you have reached the time to polish your Dao Foundation, there is no need to continue your secluded cultivation," said Liu Lili matter-of-factly.

Sigh, my cute Junior Brother, from now on, your sister will have to keep a close eye on you.

Liu Lili revealed an ambiguous smile, leaned close to his ear, and breathed softly like an orchid.

The scorching fragrance lingered by his ear: "Junior Brother, from now on, you will train in the Mortal World with your Senior Sister."

To refine the Dao Foundation, after the third turn, one requires tempering the heart in the Mortal World.

Moreover, one must interrupt the Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment multiple times to seek a perfect Dao Foundation.

Chen Xuan nodded; the Nine-Turn Sea-Steaming Method is a secret technique that transforms the Spiritual Sea nine times.

"That's true, but Senior Sister, don't let me leave you behind," Chen Xuan said with a smug smile.

Naturally, after the third turn, one must utilize the Qi of the Mortal World.

It seems that for the past year or more, Liu Lili has often gone out to temper her Dao Foundation.

However, Senior Sister, you probably have no idea what kind of existence you are facing.

Chen Xuan was very calm in his heart.

It is said that Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment can also improve the quality of the Dao Foundation and the quality of the Spiritual Root.

Coupled with his own Innate Sword Bone.

With the two combined, the effect is certainly greater than one plus one.

"Alright, I know you're amazing," Liu Lili said, patting Chen Xuan's head like she was coaxing a child.

Now, Chen Xuan was almost as tall as her.

Two or three years ago, he was still a head shorter than her; boys really grow fast.

But after so many years, Junior Brother is growing more and more to my liking.

"It's just a pity that you are still too young." She looked intentionally or unintentionally at Chen Xuan's thighs.

Chen Xuan, an old soul who had lived for hundreds of years across three lifetimes, immediately countered: "Whether I'm small or not, Senior Sister, you'll say it's good once you've tried it!"

"Aren't you going to welcome me with open arms?"

He said with a roguish smile.

"By the way, I heard Revered Master is preparing to take in another Disciple?"

Chen Xuan asked.

Liu Lili nodded: "Yes, I heard it's a handsome young guy too. Sigh, just thinking about it is wonderful!"

The lineage of Master Liu Yun's Conquest Hall was relatively close in age, starting from Senior Sister Wen Yao, Liu Lili (who had not formally apprenticed), and Junior Brother Yun Qi.

Because of this, when Liu Lili and Chen Xuan first met, it was practically like being childhood sweethearts.

Now, after getting along for several years, their feelings for each other had long since surpassed those of ordinary friends.

Of course, this was also the result that the Liu Family had always wanted.

To rebuild the glory of the Central Province Liu Clan and revive the splendor of the Nascent Soul!

They could only pin their hopes on the Prodigies of the younger generation.

"Oh?"

"Then you can continue to find it wonderful." Chen Xuan's face turned cold, and he prepared to leave.

Seeing Chen Xuan jealous, Liu Lili felt happy in her heart; Junior Brother still cared about her. She immediately hugged Chen Xuan: "Junior Brother, you know, I've been with you since I was fifteen."

"Mua~"

"Don't be disgusting..." Chen Xuan rolled his eyes at her and rejected the moral kidnapping of his fairy-like Senior Sister.

It's just that she watched 'Zhu Mi' and 'Black Night Rose'!

It's not like he can't watch them too!

As for authority.

The two stopped talking and quickly arrived at the Conquest Hall to accept their tasks.

Immortal Master Liu Yun had made a detailed plan for the cultivation of his two Disciples. During the gaps over these years, Chen Xuan had also learned many secrets of cultivation; as they say, the true teachings are in a single sentence.

It is just like this!

Therefore, Chen Xuan accepted all five of the tasks that had piled up at the Conquest Hall.

"Junior Brother, why do you still have Alchemy tasks?"

Liu Lili actually understood Chen Xuan's strength in the Hundred Arts of Cultivation.

He was very strong at refining Talismans, overwhelmingly so.

But in Alchemy and Artifact Refining, he was only stronger than ordinary Qi Refining Cultivators, like a veteran who had been doing it for a long time.

There was nothing particularly outstanding about it.

Therefore, it was clearly not suitable for Chen Xuan to accept Alchemy tasks; it was time-consuming, laborious, and thankless.

To temper the heart in the Mortal World and cultivate the Nine-Turn Sea-Steaming Method, one still has to fight, fight, fight!
