346: Chapter 346 Blind Date with Shen Xiangjun

Liuyun Immortal Mansion.

Inside a living room.

Chen Hu invited the three members of the Shen Family to sit down.

He also arranged for someone to bring Spiritual Tea.

"Brother Chen, are you living comfortably here?" City Lord Shen Chonglou asked with a smile. "If you are not comfortable, I still have another detached courtyard I can gift to you directly!"

"Haha!"

Chen Hu refused with a smile. "Brother Shen, I am living quite well here. I appreciate your kind intention!"

City Lord Shen Chonglou said, "Brother Chen, please don't stand on ceremony with me. If you want to change places, just tell me at any time. I will keep that courtyard reserved for you!"

"Then many thanks, Brother Shen!"

"By the way!"

City Lord Shen Chonglou changed the subject. "This is my daughter, Shen Xiangjun. She is currently a True Disciple of the Seven Emotions Sword Sect. She was captivated by your demeanor yesterday, and when she learned that my wife and I were coming to visit you, she insisted on coming along."

Hearing her father say this, Shen Xiangjun felt a bit embarrassed, her cheeks slightly flushed. Under Chen Hu's gaze, she hurriedly stood up to pay her respects. "This Junior greets Senior Chen!"

"No need for such formalities, please rise!" Chen Hu said, gesturing for her to stand.

After Shen Xiangjun sat down again, Chen Hu flipped his palm, and a Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact Flying Sword appeared in front of his palm. "This is a Flying Sword I once used. I don't need it now, so I will gift it to Miss Xiangjun!"

Chen Hu flicked it, and the Flying Sword flew before Shen Xiangjun.

Shen Xiangjun subconsciously grabbed the Flying Sword, then exclaimed, "Wow, a Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact!"

Don't let her father being the City Lord of Xuanwu City and her being a True Disciple of the Seven Emotions Sword Sect fool you.

In fact, the Flying Sword she currently uses is merely a Medium Grade Flying Sword.

As for why she doesn't use a Top-Grade Flying Sword, of course, it's because she can't afford it.

Her father is the City Lord of Xuanwu City, but he hasn't been the City Lord for long, and the local business is controlled by The Four Great Transformation-Divinity Families.

City Lord Shen Chonglou has tried to intervene many times, but all ended in failure.

Therefore, his income mainly comes from the imperial court's salary and some gray income.

Although City Lord Shen Chonglou's potential is exhausted and he cannot reach the Dao Integration Realm.

He is still unwilling to give up, so he also consumes some Advanced cultivation resources.

Plus, her mother also needs to Cultivate, and her older brother and younger brother also need to Cultivate.

Therefore, the Shen Family has always been in a tight financial state.

Just for her Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact Flying Sword, her father spent a lot of effort.

One must know, most True Disciples of the Seven Emotions Sword Sect use Low Grade Spiritual Artifact Flying Swords.

Some who have no background even use High Grade Magical Artifacts.

So, the fact that she can use a Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact Flying Sword is already quite good.

"Brother Chen, this won't do, it's too precious!"

Seeing Chen Hu give his daughter a Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact Flying Sword right off the bat, City Lord Shen Chonglou was also startled and immediately declined on his daughter's behalf.

Generally speaking, the price of a Low Grade Magical Artifact is under 1,000 Spirit Coins.

The price of a Medium Grade Magical Artifact is between 1,000 and 10,000 Spirit Coins.

The price of a High Grade Magical Artifact is between 10,000 and 300,000.

The price of a Top-Grade Magical Artifact is over 1 million.

And Spiritual Artifacts above Magical Artifacts—even the cheapest Low Grade Spiritual Artifact costs over 5 million Spirit Coins.

Medium Grade Spiritual Artifacts are over 10 million.

High Grade Spiritual Artifacts are over 50 million.

Top-Grade Spiritual Artifacts cost over 100 million directly.

Moreover, whether it is a Top-Grade Magical Artifact or a Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact, they rarely appear on the market; they are absolutely priceless!

From this, one can imagine how rare and precious a Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact is.

"Brother Shen, it's just a greeting gift. If you don't let your daughter accept it, you are looking down on me!" Chen Hu said with a feigned stern face.

Through the Eye of Insight, Chen Hu discovered that Shen Xiangjun's favorability towards him was not low, already reaching over 50 points.

After he gifted the Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact Flying Sword, it soared directly to over 80 points.

Besides, Shen Xiangjun is young and beautiful; she is his type.

Since he came to the Cultivation world, wouldn't it be a wasted trip if he didn't woo a female cultivator?

Therefore, Shen Xiangjun is his first target.

Besides, with City Lord Shen Chonglou bringing his daughter to visit, and the words just spoken, he could see that this guy who calls him "Brother Chen" seems to want to be his father-in-law.

Hearing Chen Hu say this, City Lord Shen Chonglou couldn't refuse, so he said to Shen Xiangjun, "Xiangjun, what are you still stunned for? Why don't you thank Brother Chen!"

"Thank you, Senior Chen!"

Shen Xiangjun stood up and thanked him with a smile.

"You're welcome, it's just a small trinket!" Chen Hu said dismissively.

This wasn't him acting arrogant, but he truly didn't take a Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact to heart.

One must know, what he is currently using is a Low Grade Dao Artifact.

Just at this moment, City Lord Shen Chonglou said again, "Brother Chen, Xiangjun is also quite interested in this Liuyun Immortal Mansion. Could you take her to look around?"

Obviously, City Lord Shen Chonglou was creating an opportunity for Chen Hu and his daughter again.

"Of course, no problem!"

Chen Hu agreed immediately, then looked at Shen Xiangjun with a smile, "Let's go, Miss Xiangjun, I will take you for a tour!"

"Then I will trouble you, Senior Chen!"

Shen Xiangjun said softly.

After walking for a while, Chen Hu noticed Shen Xiangjun was silent, so he took the initiative to break the silence, "Miss Xiangjun, how is your cultivation life in the Seven Emotions Sword Sect?"

Shen Xiangjun said, "Actually, it's just like that. Although the Seven Emotions Sword Sect is a top-tier Sect, the internal competition is also very intense. Apart from the first two years after entering, starting from the third year, if you want to obtain corresponding cultivation resources, Magic Treasures, etc., you have to rely on taking on tasks to earn them. With my father's support, I am fine, but those who entered at the same time as me, in order to earn cultivation resources, do nothing but Cultivate and take on tasks; they don't even have time to rest!"

"Is it really that intense?" Chen Hu was a bit surprised.

Although Shen Xiangjun had never heard the word "intense" used this way, after thinking for a moment, she understood the meaning.

She nodded in agreement, "Isn't it? As the saying goes, one step slow, every step slow. If you don't work hard today, you will be left behind by others tomorrow. Take us True Disciples, for example; every three years, there is a True Disciple Competition. The top ten people can all receive good rewards. Just entering the top ten once, the rewards obtained are worth ten years of doing tasks. So, just for the top ten rewards, everyone works hard to improve their cultivation."

Chen Hu gave Shen Xiangjun a conversation starter, and she opened up.

She spoke for more than an hour.

Chen Hu also learned a lot of news about Cultivation Schools from her.

After saying a lot, Shen Xiangjun suddenly looked at Chen Hu and said, "Senior Chen, you shouldn't be very old, right?"

"Hmm, not yet a hundred years old!" Chen Hu said.

"What!" Shen Xiangjun exclaimed, "You haven't even reached a hundred years old and you have already reached the Spirit Severing Stage Level 9. You are simply too amazing!"

Speaking of this, the look in Shen Xiangjun's eyes when looking at Chen Hu was already full of worship and admiration.

Chen Hu smiled modestly, "I just have good luck!"

If it weren't for the System cheat, let alone reaching the Spirit Severing Stage Level 9, he estimated he would at most be at the Flesh Refining Realm, still struggling in the Fierce Tiger Gang!

"That's not true!"

Shen Xiangjun defended Chen Hu, "Senior Chen being able to have the achievements he has now is definitely not just because of good luck."
