103: Chapter 103

Inside the room, the brother and sister stared at each other, eyes meeting, both in shock.

Xie Xingyao was dazed and lost in thought, "A sixth-grade elixir, that was actually a sixth-grade elixir." She had previously seen the Sect Master casually take out a bottle of Medicinal Pills for her to feed her brother, and she had thought it was just an ordinary healing pill.

But she hadn't expected it to be a sixth-grade elixir.

For an elixir of this level, even if she were to sell herself, she wouldn't be able to afford a single one!

The figure in white flashed through Xie Xingchen's mind again. Could it be that person really is an Immortal descended to the mortal world? If not an Immortal, why would he give away a sixth-grade elixir so casually?

Mu Wanqing saw that the siblings had finished catching up, so she carefully entered the room and said softly, "Junior Brother, you're finally awake."

Xie Xingyao immediately helped her brother up, turned to bow, and said, "Greetings, Eldest Senior Sister."

Xie Xingchen's mind raced. Although he was still a bit confused about the current situation, he followed suit and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Eldest Senior Sister."

Mu Wanqing waved her hand, "You two don't need to be so formal."

"By the way, Revered Master told you to see him in his room once you woke up."

Revered Master?

Could it be that white-clothed Immortal?

"This lowly one understands, I'll head over right away!" Xie Xingchen quickly replied.

"'This lowly one'!" Mu Wanqing murmured to herself. Forget it! Once Junior Brother gets used to things, he'll change... In another room!

A black jade stone was floating in front of Chen Xuan.

He closed his eyes, his consciousness immersed in that Chaos Space. It was still the familiar scene, eight familiar seats arranged from one to eight.

After Chen Xuan's idle research, he really did find a slightly different use.

This thing could be used like a storage ring to store items; whether it be Medicinal Pills, Cultivation Techniques, divine abilities, or flat peaches, all could be stored inside.

However, living things wouldn't work; they couldn't be brought in.

Besides that... what on earth is this thing? What use does it have? It couldn't really be just a different kind of storage ring, could it?

I have the System space and so many storage rings, it's not like I'm lacking this broken jade stone.

Unable to figure it out, Chen Xuan sighed softly and withdrew from the Chaos Space.

He remembered Qi Yue had mentioned before that he could go to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion in the Middle Realm to ask. Chen Xuan planned to try it tomorrow after she returned.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

A knocking sound rang out. Chen Xuan said calmly, "Come in."

As his voice fell, the door opened with a "creak," and an anxious youth stood at the door, walking into the room like a quail.

After stealing a glance at Chen Xuan, he knelt on the ground with a "thud," "This lowly one, Xie Xingchen, thanks the Immortal for saving my life."

"The Immortal's great kindness is something this lowly one will never forget."

He had already heard a general account of what happened from his sister. The person before him was not only his savior but had also saved his sister at the auction.

If they hadn't met this Immortal, one of them would likely have become food for the Spirit Devouring Tapir, and the other would have been bought by someone as a tool for Dual Cultivation.

This was also why the youth was so anxious, fearing he might lose his manners and make the Immortal laugh.

Chen Xuan shook his head with a light laugh, raised a hand, and a wave of profound energy lifted the youth up.

Only then did he size up the youth. Having washed away the blood and changed into clean clothes, the boy looked handsome with thin lips and a high nose, somewhat elegant, like a frail scholar from a humble home.

"I am no Immortal; there is still quite a gap between me and an Immortal. As for saving you..."

Chen Xuan looked at the youth with a serious expression and said solemnly, "I saved you because you and I share the fate of Revered Master and Disciple. Are you willing to take me as your Revered Master? From now on, we shall climb to the peak of the Dao together."

"Mas... Revered Master-Disciple fate?" Xie Xingchen froze on the spot, a thunderclap sounding in his ears, and he even forgot to breathe.

He actually shared a Revered Master-Disciple fate with the Immortal before him; he wouldn't even dare to dream so boldly. Xie Xingchen even wondered if his injuries hadn't fully healed and he was hallucinating.

He opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound.

"Well?" Chen Xuan urged again, seeing the boy in a daze.

This time, Xie Xingchen did not hesitate for a moment.

With a "thud," he knelt on the ground, his forehead hitting the inn's floor heavily, even creating a dent.

"Disciple Xie Xingchen is willing to take you as my Revered Master. From now on, whatever Revered Master commands, this Disciple will surely risk his life to achieve it."

Ding~

[Congratulations to the Host for successfully recruiting an Immortal Dao Seed. Reward: one Apprentice Recruitment Gift Pack.]

[Reward: one sect construction card.]

[Detected Disciple Xie Xingchen's Physique is Star River Sword Soul Physique (Unactivated).]

[Issuing god rank cultivation textbook.]

[Star Radiance Sword Canon]

When this scripture reaches Major Achievement, the practitioner's sword heart will completely merge with the starry river. Using their own sword core as a guide, they can forcibly tear through the sky and summon a real starry river to the battlefield. They can even achieve "summoning stars with a thought, shattering worlds with a sword."

The familiar notification sounded, and Chen Xuan had taken in his fifth True Disciple.

This trip to the Middle Realm was already worthwhile. He just didn't know if he would encounter any more Children of Destiny during the upcoming Heavenly Selection Grand Ceremony.

Two isn't too many, five is just right.

But Chen Xuan reckoned it was unlikely. The reason Xie Xingchen wasn't selected by those Holy Lands to be nurtured as a Saint or Saintess was probably because his Physique hadn't been activated.

If it were truly activated, he certainly wouldn't have ended up being used as fish bait.

"Rise. Since you have entered my Sect, I will bestow a Cultivation Technique upon you." As he spoke, a Jade Slip glowing with a faint blue light floated in front of the youth.

Cultivation Technique?

Although Xie Xingchen was puzzled, he would simply obey his Revered Master's commands.

He reached out to take the Jade Slip and bowed respectfully, "Disciple thanks Revered Master!"

Chen Xuan nodded slightly and asked, "How is your injury?"

"Reporting to Revered Master, it is no longer a problem." Xie Xingchen only felt a warmth in his heart. Aside from Xingyao, this was the first time someone had cared about him.

With a wave of his hand, the bottle of unfinished Nourishing Origin Pills floated in front of Xie Xingchen, "Take these Medicinal Pills for a rainy day."

Xie Xingchen had just taken it and subconsciously pulled out the cork, a familiar medicinal fragrance wafting into his nose.

Immediately after, the youth's hand trembled, almost failing to hold the porcelain bottle. Nourishing Origin Pill... this was actually a sixth-grade elixir, the Nourishing Origin Pill. He gulped and, after some hesitation, chose to say:

"Revered Master, such a precious elixir, would it be too..."

"Precious?" Chen Xuan laughed. "You can go talk to your Eldest Senior Sister to learn more about our Dao Seeking Sect and get familiar with things."

Seeing that his Revered Master had no intention of taking back the pills, Xie Xingchen could only properly put them into his storage ring.

Chen Xuan continued, "Step forward a couple of paces; I will help you activate your Physique."

"Activate my Physique?"

"That's right. You possess the one-in-a-million Star River Sword Soul Physique. Once your Physique is activated, your cultivation base and strength will surely soar." Chen Xuan said as he reached out a hand.

As for how to activate a Physique, he didn't know how to do it either. Anyway, he just needed to reach out and leave it to the System to handle. It was the same when he activated Li Pingan's Physique last time!

Chen Xuan felt that the System still wasn't powerful enough. It would be better if there were a Child of Destiny positioning System; that would make recruiting Disciples much more convenient.

No... it would be even more comfortable to just sign in and get Immortal Emperor cultivation.

"Relax your mind and feel the changes in the Qi within your body."

"Yes, Revered Master!"

As he responded, Xie Xingchen completely cleared his thoughts. A majestic power slowly poured into his body along his spine.

Deep within his Dantian, a faint purple particle of light was slowly rotating. Around the particle, countless finer specks of light gathered like fireflies, gradually forming a miniature star orbit.

"Guide this power to touch the particle of light in your Dantian." Chen Xuan's voice rang out at the right time, and the infusion of power slowed down, giving Xie Xingchen space to take control.
