The sky is full of clouds.

"Senior brother, didn't you say [Golden Lotus Seeds] were the most precious before? Why did you say [Golden Lotus Crown] was the most precious? Which one is more precious?"

"Hanhan! Senior brother, I don't boast about raising the [Golden Lotus Crown], how could Master easily accept the [Golden Lotus Seeds]!"

"Ah~oh, so that's it."

The little kid touched his head, suddenly realized, and then sighed:

"You are just being hypocritical. If my senior brother gave me a treasure, I would accept it immediately. I would kowtow to him, pour water and tea, and rub my shoulders and back."

"Hahaha~ This is what you said, I'll make it up next time."

Chu Chen laughed in surprise and was in a good mood.

Giving gifts is a very particular matter.

Thanks to the experience of honoring his master, Master Fire Dragon, Chu Chen gained experience and lessons.

It was a good thing that he wanted to be filial to his master, but the problem was that [Golden Lotus Seeds] were too precious.

Both the Fire Dragon Alchemist and Taoist Master Xu Ping are very respectable people, and they are embarrassed to accept such a precious treasure from him as a disciple.

After all, the Fire Dragon Alchemist is a master of alchemy. Even though he doesn't like to make money, he still has a good fortune, so he helped him refine the [Super Purity Golden Lotus Crown], so he took advantage of the situation and accepted it with peace of mind.

However, Master Xu Ping is only at the fifth level, and does not even have great supernatural powers, but he does not have the financial confidence of Master Fire Dragon.

Considering this, Chu Chen learned to be smart this time and used magical powers to cover up the Dao Yun Tianwen around the [Golden Lotus Seed], turning it into an ordinary high-level spiritual fruit with powerful spiritual energy, and gave it to the master to try

.

Of course, although Master Xu Ping, Taoist Priest, does not have the cultivation experience of a great god, he has good eyesight and knows that the phenomenon of heaven and earth [golden lotus planted in the fire] is not trivial, and cannot be deceived casually.

As a result, Chu Chen downplayed the [Golden Lotus Seeds], and at the same time praised the power of the magic weapon [Golden Lotus Crown], and placed the biggest gain from the adventure of [Growing Golden Lotus in the Fire] on the [Golden Lotus Crown]. As for the [Golden Lotus Seeds]

】, he did not deliberately belittle it, but instead described it as suspected of containing the enlightenment of "Growing Golden Lotus in the Fire", and asked the master to try his luck, maybe he would be able to get some good luck. Such half-truth and half-false rhetoric, combined with Chu

Chen Chen's cover-up methods were amazing. His master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, didn't know Chu Chen's tricks. He didn't suspect anything and swallowed the [Golden Lotus Seed] in one gulp.

As a result, Taoist Master Xu Ping went into seclusion in Qingchen Cave on the spot.

"Master has a solid foundation and profound Taoism. With the help of [Golden Lotus Seed] Dao Mystery, I must have gained a lot, and may even have a chance of breakthrough."

A heartfelt smile appeared on Chu Chen's face, and he had great confidence in his master.

Master Xu Ping's cultivation is quite bumpy, but he is a late bloomer. The more he practices, the less he reaches the fifth level of Dzogchen in ten years. Compared with Chu Chen, he is slower than Chu Chen.

It's not slow at all.

He is even much faster than others and more solid than others.

As long as there is an opportunity, Master Xu Ping's breakthrough will be a matter of course.

The little kid was a little careless at first, but when he heard his senior brother whispering to himself, he immediately became interested and very excited:

"Senior brother, you said that I have hope of breaking through to the realm of great supernatural powers."

Although the little ghost slandered his master from time to time, he still had a feeling for Taoist Xu Ping in his heart that no one could compare to.

"Yes, there is great hope."

Chu Chen nodded slightly, looking forward to it.

Speaking of which, this time, for some unknown reason, Master Xu Ping seems to be very consistent with the method of "Golden Lotus Seeds" and "Growing Golden Lotus in the Fire".

As soon as he swallowed [Golden Lotus Seeds], his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, fell into trance, his whole body glowed with Taoism, and he gradually entered the state of enlightenment. The effect was so good that Chu Chen was a little surprised.

"Maybe after Master comes out of seclusion, he will be a powerful person with great supernatural powers."

A faint smile appeared on Chu Chen's face.

Immediately, he used the "Order of the Demons to Leave the Ministry" to contact Guan Ning, the director of the Ghost and God Division of Yuqin County, to ask for a leave from the Immortal Court on behalf of his master. He also used the "Dream Stone" to contact his master, Taoist Fu Hua, and asked his master for help.

Master protects the Dharma.

After doing this, Chu Chen

He didn't stay in Yunzhou for long and went straight to Cangzhou Demonic Temple.

In the past month, Chu Chen first went to Chizhou Three Thousand Fire Cave to hunt for treasures, and then went to Qingzhou to hide and cultivate treasures. He was very busy running around, but he was busy again, and there was a clone [Five Color Dream Dragon] sitting in charge.

The errands of the Demon Academy have not been left behind.

These days, with the help of many old friends and colleagues, he quickly took control of the situation of Class 5 and Class 6, and did a very good job.

However, this time when he went to the Underworld of the Yin Division, he had difficulty using the clone technique and had to focus on two tasks. The reason was that after going to the Underworld of the Yin Division, Yin and Yang were separated, and the world barrier was too strong, which had a great impact on his clone technique.

Although it will not invalidate the clone method of [Laojun's Sun and Moon Four Elephants Bagua Mirror], the yin and yang are separated, and the use of the method of keeping one consumes the power of the soul and the mana increases greatly, which has a great impact on the original body and the clone. Maybe.

, only when one’s Taoist cultivation becomes advanced in the future can this influence be reduced or even eliminated. Cangzhou Demonic Academy.

Coincidentally, on the way back to the Demonic Temple, he happened to bump into Han Chen who was returning to the imperial capital from Xiu Mu and returning to the eight southwest states.

Han Chen told Chu Chen good news.

His senior brother, Taoist Chonglou, broke through the bottleneck yesterday and broke through the barrier, ranking among the third level. At present, Taoist Chonglou is still cultivating in the imperial capital, stabilizing his cultivation.

Han Chen was quite solemn and said: "Ling Xiao, thank you very much this time. My senior brother said that he will come to visit you when he comes out of confinement."

Chu Chen smiled slightly and guessed the reason why Han Chen hurried back to the imperial capital this time.

Needless to say, like him, he must have given the treasure to Taoist Chonglou.

"Hahaha~ I'm serious, Old Han, I want to thank you, but I also want to thank you. This opportunity was discovered by you."

Han Chen shook his head and sighed:

"I am good at the art of fortune-telling, and I know all about luck. Chance is the only thing that happens if you are lucky, otherwise it is the way to death. Master and senior brother all think that I have taken advantage of you."

Speaking of this, Han Chen's face was filled with joy.

The more he thought about it, the more fortunate he was that he invited Chu Chen to hunt for the treasure together. If he had collected fire-avoiding treasures to hunt for the treasure himself, or invited unreliable Taoist friends, not only would he not have obtained the treasure, but he might even have lost his life.

"Old Han, this is boring. I got a huge advantage, look at the top of my head!" Han Chen looked up when he heard this and was slightly startled.

Pure lotus crown!

"This is…"

Han Chen caught a glimpse of the formidable lotus crown and was about to say something. The next moment, the golden lotus crown flashed with golden light and transformed into a little boy wearing lotus clothes.

"Transformation magic weapon!"

Chu Chen smiled slightly: "Yes, this magic weapon can attack and defend, its magical power reaches the third level, and it contains the power of laws. Old Han, do you regret it?"

"No regrets!"

Han Chen said "I don't regret it", but his face showed a strong look of envy: "As expected of the spiritual root fairy treasure, the spiritual qualifications are indeed extraordinary."

After saying that, Han Chen thought of the scene that day in the Three Thousand Fire Cave where Chu Chen used his military skills to fight against the peerless old monster's clone, and said with emotion:

"Ling Xiao, with this treasure to protect you, and with the magical powers of a military strategist by your side, you are expected to defeat the third-level mighty master at the fourth-level Taoist realm!"

"The heat isn't quite there yet."

In front of his friends, Chu Chen was quite humble and did not show off his military power.

It is true that his current Taoist and magical powers have surpassed the fourth-level Taoism and reached the third-level level. However, among the old monsters of the third-level, none of them have profound knowledge and do not have powerful magic weapons and magical powers in their hands.

He dare not underestimate others and has no blind confidence.

If you want to increase your confidence, you have to start with the [Heavenly Essence Spirit Weapon Art] and try to increase your strength as much as possible.

After a small chat, Han Chen left with an envious look on his face.

As for Chu Chen, he was not idle either and rushed straight to the Libu compound.

Leaving the ministry compound, the minister's study room.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, do you plan to recruit soldiers and horses? Or fourth-grade soldiers and horses?"

Master Huixin was quite surprised when he heard Chu Chen’s intention and said:

"The fourth-grade soldiers and horses belong to heavenly soldiers. This

It is not easy to recruit elite soldiers and horses. Even our Celestial Immortal Court’s Wuyue Underworld does not have many subordinates. It is not easy to recruit them. The major Immortal Sects probably have them, but it is not easy to ask for them.”

Chu Chen nodded slightly. He had understood the situation in advance and understood that what Master Huixin said was true. Raising soldiers and horses is extremely difficult.

Except for the monks themselves who use the method of refining weapons to raise soldiers and horses, under normal circumstances, the Celestial Court and sects raise soldiers and horses with incense and jade money, which consumes a lot of money.

As the saying goes, it is best to use it on the edge of the knife.

Xianting mainly cultivates high-level ghosts and gods, and is not interested in training soldiers and horses.

There are quite a few high-level soldiers and horses of the fourth rank and above in various Yuefu sects and Immortal Sects of the great sects, but they all have their own uses, and it is impossible for Chu Chen to recruit them and give him this opportunity in vain.

In fact, Master Yu Xuzi's uncle said that he could allocate some to him.

Chu Chen thought for a while, but still refused. The great uncle of Master Yu Xuzi had also perfected the [Heavenly Essence Spirit Weapon Art], and the demand for soldiers and horses was extremely high, so naturally he would not be able to steal people's beauty.

After all, he is not borrowing troops, but recruiting direct soldiers and horses, and the number of soldiers and horses he wants is quite large.

After thinking about this, Chu Chen said calmly:
To be continued...
