Chapter 85: Elder Xinran's Worry

"Second brother, you can't be so selfish; you should ask our parents' opinion on this matter, not decide it by yourself."

Chen Churan watched second brother's demeanor, knowing she could not make him change his mind; this second brother has been like that since childhood—once he decides something, he never changes it.

Even ten oxen couldn't pull it back.

If she can't, the parents will join; she doesn't believe father and mother would let second brother stay here. The future of the Spirit Sword Sect is certainly better than Longshe Cheng; from any angle, the parents would agree that second brother should follow her back.

Chen Chuyang glanced at his younger sister Chen Churan, shook his head: "You don't need to say anything; even if anyone comes, it won't help."

"Thank you, Xinran Zhanglao, for thinking highly of me; I don't have that luck."

Elder Xinran sighed; she indeed has no luck.

This boy isn't the type who knows nothing about everything; being so calm at a time like this makes her can't help but look at him twice.

Being able to resist such temptation and stay true to himself is quite rare.

Just for this reason, he is far better than his younger sister Chen Churan.

Chen Churan is unwilling to fail like this; this matter cannot be concluded so definitively.

A great opportunity shouldn't be wasted by second brother; she truly doesn't want him to stay here his whole life. Second brother is capable and shouldn't spend his whole life gazing at the sky from a well; only by going out into the world can he realize how vast it is.

Stuck in Longshe Shan, that's how this life will be.

"Second brother, are you really not going to think about it again?"

Chen Churan took a deep breath and said: "There's nothing in Longshe Shan; if you stay here your whole life, you may never get a second chance. Missing my master means you'll never encounter such an opportunity again."

"My master is one of the few Strong Ones in the Spirit Sword Sect, and even within the Great Qi Dynasty, he is counted among the strong."

Her master is the most suitable candidate.

Treat them sincerely; unlike others, you won't look down on them, or scheming and exploiting them.

Chen Chuyang smiled: "Thank you, my younger sister."

"Second brother still has to stay to care for the parents; you can rest assured and cultivate at the Spirit Sword Sect, no need to worry about me, your second brother."

Leave Longshe Shan?

Don't joke; even if Chen Chuyang's cultivation technique were exposed, it could bring death.

Not to mention his strength is no longer weak; he doesn't need to go to the Spirit Sword Sect. Who knows what's inside the Sect? How could he be carefree in Longshe Shan, doing whatever he wants without any worries?

Moreover, the great opportunity hidden beneath Longshe Shan, he can't bear to leave. Such a good chance is right before his eyes; giving it up like that, Chen Chuyang wouldn't be that foolish, nor would he abandon a nearby chance for a distant one.

Cultivate peacefully, farm slowly, grow gradually; why go to the Spirit Sword Sect and stir up that murky water?

These great Factions, in Chen Chuyang's eyes, each have their own troubles.

Longshe Shan is still better.

It's quieter, allowing him to freely test his pills and forging methods, as well as thunder techniques and other divine abilities.

Here, there's the lovely Shang Hongxue; if you leave, you won't see her anymore.

Home is also here; Chen Chuyang wants to stay to protect the Chen Clan, protect the parents, protect his older brother.

The main point is, even if he goes to the Spirit Sword Sect, it may not be as fast as cultivating in Longshe Shan.

His cultivation method differs from others.

"But."

"No need for 'but', your second brother, I know the situation."

Chen Churan gritted her teeth: "Second brother, can you stop being stubborn? The Spirit Sword Sect is your way out."

Chen Chuyang knew his sister meant well for him; he was truly moved.

This sister hasn't forgotten herself; she's just sharp‑tongued with a soft heart, hating that iron doesn't become steel.

Regarding his sister's previous actions, Chen Chuyang forgave her.

He waved his hand, signaling his sister to stop speaking; he won't go.

Chen Churan, helpless, shut up; she will go back to find the parents and have them properly persuade second brother.

Elder Xinran felt a bit regretful; this talent refuses to go to the Spirit Sword Sect, and she doesn't absolutely require him to go.

Talent—this world lacks nothing when it comes to talent.

The Spirit Sword Sect isn't nonexistent; it's just lacking.

If they want to recruit, they can still manage to recruit.

"I've heard your Item's effect is strong, is that so?"

Elder Xinran made another request; she wanted to test Chen Chuyang's Item effect.

When this question arose, Chen Churan was stunned.

She turned back in astonishment, looking at the master in disbelief.

Before coming, the master never mentioned this; why bring it up suddenly?

The master wouldn't be trying to put me in the pot, would he?

Chen Chuyang looked at Elder Xinran with delight, rubbing his hands and said: "You heard correctly; my Item is unrivaled under heaven, throughout the Great Qi Dynasty, no one can surpass me."

Bragging isn't a crime; Chen Chuyang definitely boasts a lot.

I'm in charge of bragging; whether it comes true is left to time.

Chen Churan turned back, astonished again.

"No, second brother, you usually just brag, why now do you have to brag?"

"But that's my master, well‑versed and experienced; aren't you afraid you'll expose yourself?"

"I wonder what the price is?"

Chen Chuyang immediately took out a small notebook to calculate, then said: "May I see your hand?"

Elder Xinran cooperated, raising her right hand; the arm was as white as jade, glowing.

Chen Chuyang touched it; his Spiritual Sense probed her body, and before fully entering, he sensed a fierce Technique that seemed about to extinguish Chen Chuyang's Spiritual Sense.

The two raised their heads at the same time, shocked to collide.

Chen Chuyang gave an embarrassed smile: "Cough cough, I need to prepare the Item according to your physical condition."

Xinran Zhanglao nodded, her gaze toward Chen Chuyang shifting, gaining a scrutinizing edge.

Spiritual Sense.

She hadn't sensed wrong; this kid before her actually possessed Spiritual Sense.

How powerful must one's soul be to possess Spiritual Sense—this is not something those below Condensed Pill can possess.

Moreover, this kid's Spiritual Sense is not lacking; it's on par with hers.

How old is this kid, and how many years has he cultivated?

Chen Chuyang steeled himself to examine, took a look, and discovered her problem.

The Technique is too overbearing; the body cannot withstand it.

That Technique, Chen Chuyang encountered it and also found it terrifying.

This is merely a single Technique, not the core Technique.

After finishing the inspection, Chen Chuyang released his hand and began to think.

"The Technique is overbearing, what a terrifying Technique."

"To dispel such a fierce Technique is not likely."

"For a person to harbor such a Technique and still be alive is truly unbelievable."

When Chen Chuyang lowered his head in thought and lifted his eyes to glance at Xinran Zhanglao, this woman truly is a ruthless person; a random Technique released from her body could level his Longshe Shan.

Such a Strong One has constantly been suppressing the Technique within her body, preventing her from exerting full force.

It can be said that the strength she can currently exert is no more than one percent, even weaker.

Even so, she is also a renowned Strong One of the Spirit Sword Sect; it's hard to believe that if such a person freely controlled the Technique within her body, how powerful she would become.

Xinran Zhanglao asked worriedly: "Can it be resolved?"

She also didn't hold much hope; to suppress the Technique within her body, she sought many Pill Refining masters and many capable individuals, without exception, none succeeded in suppressing it, let alone resolving it.

Moreover, some Strong Ones have lost their lives over this.

Those Techniques are too vast; Xinran Zhanglao can only barely Protector them, and those Techniques are constantly growing.

Continuing on, Xinran Zhanglao worried...
