466: Chapter 466 Division of Labor
"Understood, this matter shall be set aside for now."
Chen Xuan waved his hand casually, his gaze drifting outside the hall as he said indifferently, "By the way, call that girl Shichan over to see me."
"Yes, Sect Master!" Qi Yue respectfully took the order and turned to withdraw.
Chen Xuan and Yun Xuanxuan stood at the entrance of the main hall, looking down at the Sect square below. With a casual wave of Chen Xuan's hand, his sleeves billowed as a gentle, mighty force poured out, releasing Mu Wanqing and the others who had been hidden within the hair ornament space.
At the same time, the Overturning Sea Dragon's corpse—over twenty zhang long and emitting a terrifying scorched aura—slammed down into the center of the Sect square with a dull, heavy thud.
The earth trembled slightly as dust and smoke rose everywhere.
This scene was like a sudden thunderclap on level ground, instantly drawing countless Disciples from within the Sect to rush over, peering curiously from the edge of the square.
"This... this is... a Dragon?!"
"Heavens! To think that in my lifetime, I would actually see such an ancient Divine Beast that only appears in ancient Incomplete Manuals!"
"Hiss—so the Sect Master went out this time to slay a Dragon?!"
Exclamations of wonder rose and fell. The gazes the Disciples directed toward the main hall were now as if they were looking at a living True God.
Mu Wanqing ran to Chen Xuan's side with light steps, her small face full of excitement, her hand tightly holding a Little Girl who looked like she was carved from pink jade.
"Finally back at the Sect."
Mu Wanqing breathed a long sigh of relief. "Xuanxuan, you'll have a Junior Sister from now on."
After saying that, she led Shen Mutao forward. The Little Girl bowed respectfully, then looked around with a face full of curiosity.
Chen Xuan looked at the two young girls and said warmly, "Wanqing, take Tao Tao to tour our Dao Seeking Sect and familiarize her with the environment. Starting tomorrow, you must Cultivate diligently. Do not be slack."
After speaking, he turned to Yun Xuanxuan and pointed at the massive creature on the square. "Xuanxuan, this dragon corpse is a great tonic. See if there are any Materials within it that are beneficial to your cultivation. After you have made your choice, the rest will be given to that girl Shichan for Alchemy."
Yun Xuanxuan looked at the hideous dragon corpse on the square, closed her eyes to sense it for a moment, then nodded gently, a flicker of joy flashing in her eyes.
"Thank you, Revered Master!"
Better than thanking me is to Cultivate hard; your Revered Master is still waiting to lie back and Breakthrough to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.
Chen Xuan smiled slightly and flipped his palm, revealing a dragon pearl emitting a brilliant halo. "And this thing, which contains the essence of the Dragon Clan. Take it as well, and remember to refine it as soon as possible."
...
On the other side, Xu Muchen and the other two were looking around in utter bewilderment. Especially having just come out of the Mustard Seed World, the sudden sensation of the Spiritual Qi density in this world almost made their scalps go numb.
The Spiritual Qi here was so thick it seemed to have transformed into a spiritual mist; every breath felt like swallowing sweet nectar.
Fairy Hanyan took a light breath and felt her mind clear, her heart filled with shock: Just staying here for a single hour would be equivalent to three days of bitter cultivation in the outside world!
Beside her, Daoist Zhenyue muttered to himself, his voice trembling: "This place... could it be the legendary Immortal Realm? Just what is that Senior's background, to be able to open up such a blessed land in the mortal realm?"
Fairy Hanyan glanced at Xu Muchen, who was still in a daze, and warned in a low voice: "Anyway, I've already decided to be an Inner Sect Elder in this Dao Seeking Sect; I'm not leaving even if I die. You'd better not cause any trouble for me or offend the Sect Master. Don't blame me for not caring about our old friendship then."
Xu Muchen was somewhat speechless. How long had it been? She was already calling him 'Sect Master'?
He looked at the low-level Disciples around him who were filled with fanatical worship, and sighed inwardly: Could it be that this place really is to become his future resting place?
Just then, Chen Xuan's voice came again: "Elder Xiao Yun, take these three guests to tour the Sect. Remember to entertain them well; do not be negligent."
"As you command!" Xiao Yun immediately bowed and respectfully led the three away.
Soon after Xu Muchen, Shen Mutao, and the others left, a noisy sound of gongs and drums approached from afar, breaking the tranquility of the Sect.
Shu Shichan was seen holding a copper gong, striking it while shouting in a raspy voice as she ran over excitedly: "Revered Master's divine power is unrivaled, his techniques reach the heavens, an immortal's grace, a hero's spirit, handsome and elegant, suave and unrestrained..."
Before she could finish, Shu Shichan looked at the massive dragon corpse laid out on the square. Her footsteps came to a sudden halt, and her eyes nearly popped out.
"This, this, this..."
"Although I knew Revered Master's trip would surely result in an earth-shattering event, I didn't expect it to be this big!"
Shu Shichan immediately huddled by the dragon corpse, reaching out her fair little hand to touch the dragon whiskers that were as thick as hemp rope and the hard scales. It was as if she had seen the world's greatest treasure; her eyes were full of greed.
Immediately, she switched to an extremely flattering expression and scurried to Chen Xuan's side, saying diligently:
"Revered Master must be tired from your journey. Shall your Disciple massage your legs?"
Chen Xuan looked at that heart-stoppingly beautiful face and those peach blossom eyes that seemed to speak, and sighed inwardly once more: Truly a waste of such a fine shell; such a perfect Heavenly Immortal, yet why did she have to have a mouth?
Chen Xuan said indifferently: "Once your Senior Sister Xuanxuan has taken what she needs, the rest of the dragon corpse is yours to dispose of."
Hearing this, Shu Shichan's eyes curved into crescents. She immediately turned to grab Yun Xuanxuan's sleeve and said in a sweet, cloying voice: "Good Senior Sister... honestly, how do you think your Junior Sister treats you? I've looked after you quite a bit normally, haven't I?"
Yun Xuanxuan immediately wore an expression of a sweating emoji.
She was actually not very good at dealing with this eccentric 'Jade-Faced Poison Immortal.'
She hesitated for a moment and whispered: "How about... Junior Sister takes what you need first?"
"Oho! Senior Sister is so generous!"
Shu Shichan cheered and gave a thumbs up, just about to start dismantling the dragon horns.
A hand pressed down on her head and forcibly pulled her back.
Chen Xuan looked at her speechlessly: "This is closely related to your Senior Sister's Dao. What are you in such a hurry for?"
With her head held down, Shu Shichan said indignantly with a face full of grievance: "Revered Master, you are wronging a good person! Isn't your Disciple refining Medicinal Pills for Senior Sister to enjoy? And I guarantee that the pills refined by my hand will definitely have a better effect than if she refined them herself!"
As soon as Yun Xuanxuan heard about refining pills for her, her small face turned pale with fright: "No need to trouble Junior Sister, I can handle such a small matter myself."
After settling these trivial matters, Chen Xuan asked: "By the way, how is that girl Leng who was testing pills for you doing now?"
"Ah?"
The image of Leng Yimei, whose eyes had already become numb, flashed in Shu Shichan's mind. She stammered: "I was just acting according to Revered Master's instructions. Why is Revered Master suddenly asking about this?"
Seeing his Disciple's expression, Chen Xuan knew the situation was likely not optimistic.
"Have her stop testing the pills for now and let her recover her body. I still have a great use for her."
