129: Chapter 129 Golden Sun Body Forging Technique

The person beside Crimson Rainbow was none other than Xie Wantang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

She stared in astonishment at the two people before her.

Xu Changsheng was sitting on a wooden chair, talking to a delicate young girl whom she didn't recognize.

She wore silver robes, her skin was extremely fair, and her eyes were curved in a smile.

She had her head lowered, leaning toward her beloved, their sleeves brushing against each other.

Xie Wantang felt as if the ground beneath her feet had suddenly vanished.

The floor was gone, and she began to fall, falling very fast.

But as she fell, it felt as if her chest was being gripped, making it hard to breathe.

Her nose felt a sudden sting.

Taking a deep breath, she turned and left.

“Hey, Tanger!”

Xu Changsheng shook his head helplessly and glared fiercely at Ink Shadow: “Ink Shadow, look, this is all your doing!”

Only then did Ink Shadow realize she had caused a huge mess.

Not daring to meet Xu Changsheng's murderous gaze, she guiltily turned into a streak of green light and returned to the Spirit Beast Bag.

But then Crimson Rainbow stepped forward.

Her slender jade finger pointed at Xu Changsheng: “I was joking with Sister Tang all the way here, saying you had already forgotten her. I didn't expect that not only did you forget her, but you actually found someone else.”

The latter held his forehead: “Fairy Ni, you've misunderstood. Fairy Chu and I are merely in a collaborative relationship.”

Chu Linger, her face like frost, stepped forward: “May I ask for this Fairy's name? Why do you come in and immediately distort the relationship between Fellow Daoist Xu and me?”

As the two of them approached simultaneously, a powerful aura pressured her into stepping back.

Seeing that the two didn't seem to be acting, Crimson Rainbow believed them a little more.

However, her face still held a hint of suspicion: “Really?”

“What else?”

Xu Changsheng replied irritably, his blood energy surging as he dashed toward the outside of the Immortal Cave.

He soon disappeared from the Immortal Cave, leaving only the two women staring at each other.

Looking at Chu Linger, whose aura was not at all weaker than her own, a sense of defiance rose in Crimson Rainbow's heart:

“This Fairy is Crimson Rainbow, the Personal Disciple of the Jinyang Sect's Old Ancestor. Who are you to dare speak to me like that?”

A hint of surprise rose in the depths of Chu Linger's eyes. She thought to herself that her Master was indeed impressive to actually know such a Genius Disciple.

As a giant in the State of Yue, she naturally knew of the Jinyang Sect.

However, as Yellow Ox's Disciple and having recently received much favor from her Revered Master, she didn't feel the slightest bit of fear.

“So it is Fellow Daoist Crimson Rainbow. I have heard of you before. Seeing you today, you are indeed exceptionally graceful.”

“Chu Linger of Yellow Ox Immortal City, greetings, Fellow Daoist.”

“Ah?”

Crimson Rainbow looked surprised.

“Does Fairy Ni know me?”

“I've heard your name. Revered Master Lieri mentioned to us Disciples before about your Immortal City being infiltrated by the Demonic Path. I heard the person who exposed the plot was named Chu Linger.”

She stepped forward to examine her closely: “I didn't expect it to be you.”

At this moment, Xu Changsheng walked back in, holding the jade-like hand of the red-eyed Xie Wantang.

In an instant.

The eyes of the two women were immediately drawn to the tightly interlocked fingers.

A feeling of stifled frustration surged in Chu Linger's heart. Since meeting Xu Changsheng, she had deeply admired this Revered Master's extreme calmness and rationality.

She never thought Xu Changsheng would have a female companion.

Looking at it now, not only did he have one, but their relationship was so good. She had never seen Xu Changsheng so flustered.

Crimson Rainbow only took one look before looking up and asking faintly, “All smoothed over?”

Xu Changsheng nodded slightly, expressionless: “It was merely a misunderstanding.”

Crimson Rainbow looked back at Chu Linger again and said mysteriously, “Was it really this Fairy Chu who exposed the Demonic Path's secrets?”

“What do you mean?”

“I suspect it was you who gave this Chu Linger the intelligence.”

“What nonsense are you talking about!”

Before Xu Changsheng could reply, Chu Linger grew anxious, trying to distance her relationship with her Revered Master.

“Indeed, Fairy Ni is overthinking. I am merely a Loose Cultivator. How could I possibly have the capability to access such core secrets of the Demonic Path?”

Ever since the traitor appeared in Yellow Ox Immortal City, Yellow Ox had notified all the various forces.

The major Sects had one after another strictly inspected their protective Formations. Some who felt they were insecure even invited Formation Great Masters to modify them.

Crimson Rainbow gave a light snort: “I was just guessing. Why such a big reaction from you all?”

Xu Changsheng looked at Chu Linger: “Fairy Chu, as you can see, This Xu has some urgent matters. We'll have to discuss the Spirit Talisman Workshop business later.”

“It's no matter.”

Chu Linger maintained her cold demeanor as she walked out of the Immortal Cave.

“Rumble.”

The entrance to the Immortal Cave closed.

Seeing no outsiders present, Crimson Rainbow sat down unceremoniously.

Seeing this, Xie Wantang also broke free from the hand holding hers and sat down beside her.

Crimson Rainbow chuckled: “Brother Xu, Sister Tang is still angry with you.”

Xu Changsheng gave a bitter smile and brewed a cup of tea for each of the two women: “Let's talk business.”

Hearing this.

Crimson Rainbow's face instantly collapsed: “What business? You've clearly already reached Foundation Establishment, so why didn't you go back to the Ancient Wood Mountain Range to find Sister Tang? If you ask me, that's the real business.”

“I only reached Foundation Establishment less than two years ago. I needed to stabilize my Realm.”

“It's useless telling me. You have to tell Sister Tang.”

Xu Changsheng looked at Xie Wantang with a gentle gaze. She didn't respond, turning her head to the side and giving a soft, barely audible 'mm'.

“She's forgiven me. Can we talk now?”

“Fine. Our Jinyang Sect only has two Body Refining Cultivation Techniques that can be cultivated to the Early Stage of Nascent Soul.”

“Which two?”

“The Profound Rank High Grade ‘Golden Flame Bone Tempering Chapter’ and the Earth Rank Low Grade ‘Jinyang Body Forging Art’. Which one do you want, Brother Xu?”

“I want both.”

“Bah, insatiable! It's already good enough that I can get one out for you, and you want both? Why don't you just take me as well?”

“You? I don't want you.”

“What a blockhead. But truly, only one can be taken out, and the reason I mentioned both is because the price for each is different.”

“Be specific.”

“The ‘Golden Flame Bone Tempering Chapter’ can be offset just by the favor you did back in the Ancient Wood Secret Realm. But the ‘Jinyang Body Forging Art’ won't do. In addition to that favor, you'll have to owe me a new one.”

“Fine, I choose the ‘Jinyang Body Forging Art’. I owe you a favor.”

“Heehee, you said it yourself!”

“A gentleman's word is his bond. Since the ‘Jinyang Body Forging Art’ is an Earth Rank technique, it's worth it.”

“Good.”

Crimson Rainbow happily took out a manual from her Storage Pouch and handed it over.

He took it and flipped through a few pages, his brow furrowing tighter and tighter.

“What's wrong, Brother Xu? Is it not right?”

“No problem.” He directly put away the technique.

“That's good. Then I'm going to use that favor you just owed me right now.”

Xu Changsheng nodded slightly. He had guessed that Crimson Rainbow probably had something to ask of him; otherwise, given her personality, she would likely have only brought one technique over.

“Speak, what is it?”

“It's nothing major. I just wanted to ask if Brother Xu has heard of the Hundred Sects Trial?”
