Zuo Ci?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuan was slightly startled upon hearing this, and thought with great surprise: \"Why did Zuo Ci come to find me at this time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be that he was alarmed by the commotion I made when I created the Star Spirit Conversion Array a few days ago and sensed something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If so, then this one of the Three Immortals of the late Han really has some true ability; it's good to meet him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Su Xuan immediately waved his hand at the personal guard and said: \"Invite him to the No. 1 reception hall, and have someone prepare tea and snacks!

I am General Su Xuan; I don't know what business you have with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Su Xuan entered, he cupped his hands and asked directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Recluse of the mountains, Zuo Ci, Zuo Zuo Yuanfang, greets the General Conquering the South!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Zuo Ci also hurriedly stood up and bowed to Su Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he looked up and saw Su Xuan, and his expression changed immediately; he couldn't help but exclaim: \"Noble beyond words! Truly noble beyond words!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My calculations were not wrong; the General is exactly the person I am looking for!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, without waiting for Su Xuan to speak, Zuo Ci couldn't help but cast the Art of Observing Qi to look at Su Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the blinding light almost blinded his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he also felt a great terror about to descend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Ci withdrew his gaze without hesitation and closed the Art of Observing Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears were streaming down his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuan watched this with wonder, sneering in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Letting an old Daoist peek at him at will, he suffered for it, didn't he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he hadn't suppressed his fortune to counterattack just now, Zuo Ci wouldn't just be bleeding a little bit right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he really think he was so easy to peek at?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he wasn't doing this purely out of kindness, but because he had taken a fancy to Zuo Ci as a talent and to the Daoist classics, cultivation techniques, strange arts, and most importantly, alchemy techniques in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because, if he remembered correctly, history in his previous life recorded that Zuo Ci, as one of the Three Immortals of the late Han, was most skilled in alchemy and strange arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had sent people to search for so long before, but had only collected limited fragments and had failed to deduce a real alchemy technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, a living alchemy secret manual had actually run to him automatically; how could he miss it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, Zuo Ci recovered, opened his eyes, and while breathing a sigh of relief, he hurriedly bowed deeply to Su Xuan: \"Please forgive me, General; it was my rudeness just now; I should not have peeked at the General's destiny and fortune at will; thank you, General, for showing mercy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuan saw this and waved his hand: \"Considering you had no malice, I'll let it go this time; there won't be a next time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Ci apologized repeatedly, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't expect Su Xuan to be a fellow practitioner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No! To say he was a fellow practitioner was to flatter himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just that one glance just now allowed Zuo Ci to peek at a little bit of Su Xuan's destiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How was this a fellow practitioner?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was clearly a heavenly being descended to the world, a sage in the world!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key was that he also carried dragon energy and had the destiny of an Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder he was noble beyond words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That he hadn't been killed by the backlash just now was truly a stroke of great luck; the other party had shown mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he would already be gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please sit down first! Tell me! Why did you come to find me? Just to peek at me? Or to peek at the array in my inner residence?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuan made a gesture of invitation, and after Zuo Ci sat down, he looked at him indifferently and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Ci was startled again, stood up to apologize: \"Forgive me! Forgive me! I was just curious for a moment; actually, I didn't see anything, I only knew it was an array that gathered star power... cough cough!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of this, Zuo Ci also reacted, looked at Su Xuan with a guilty conscience, and smiled bitterly: \"I know my crime! Please punish me, General!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuan waved his hand: \"Since I already forgave your crime just now, it naturally includes this matter; after all, I hadn't come before, and I hadn't warned you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, General!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Ci was overjoyed, bowed in thanks, and then bowed deeply to Su Xuan again: \"General, I originally came because of the world anomaly, out of curiosity to see and trace the source; I had no malice;\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But after seeing the General in person, I finally understood that the General is a heavenly being descended to the world; I admire you in my heart and hope to serve you, my lord, and listen to your orders under your command, to share your worries;\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At the same time, I also hope to learn a trick or two from you, and I would be satisfied; I don't know if the General is willing to accept me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Zuo Ci secretly raised his head a little and glanced at Su Xuan with trepidation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was sincerely wanting to stay by Su Xuan's side to assist him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, not only could he gain the blessing of fortune in the process, but he also had hope of learning something from Su Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention anything else, just that Star Array in the inner residence, as long as he could learn a little bit, it would be enough for him to benefit from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, he also saw that Su Xuan had not only cultivated his Internal Force Martial Dao to the mid-stage of Gang Strength, but also seemed to have cultivated a type of Blood Martial Dao he had never seen before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making his Qi, Blood, and physique far exceed those of martial artists of the same level;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, there were faint fluctuations of star power and spiritual energy in Su Xuan's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, in the ancestral aperture between his eyebrows, not only was terrifying spiritual power and soul power radiating, but there was also a more peculiar power present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Zuo Ci's eyes, Su Xuan was full of secrets, full of attraction!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he were driven away, he wouldn't want to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xuan saw this and was slightly surprised: \"You want to defect to me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't expect Zuo Ci to be so decisive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he also saw that Zuo Ci's purpose at the beginning wasn't this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only after seeing him that he saw something and made such a choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Correct! Please, General, grant my request!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuo Ci bowed again hurriedly.\u003C\u002Fp>",1565,"2026-06-16T22:49:46.970Z","2026-06-16T22:58:39.531Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","2eb8b3d33bb3b1b8ec399bf1ceff93e027e861e38e763da8e3454d5a49d0da8e","heaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-chapter-166","heaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-chapter-164",467,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-cover.jpg"]
