Chapter 285: Liu Xuan

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the day the Dark World Gathering was set to begin arrived.

"Lingyun, you said before that you could refine pills, so what kind of Pill have you prepared now?" Inside a camper, Chen Jing asked Lingyun with a curious look on her face.

"Tell me, among the Dark World Gathering, which types of Pill are the most popular?" Lingyun said.

"The most popular ones are definitely the Pill that can enhance one's strength, followed by healing Pill!" Chen Jing pondered for a moment before speaking.

"It seems it's no different from what I thought!" Lingyun nodded.

"By the way, Lingyun, you wouldn't have actually refined Pill that can enhance strength, would you!" Chen Jing asked suddenly.

"Why, is there a problem?" Lingyun raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Pill that can enhance strength are quite rare items at the Dark World Gathering, and the vast majority are controlled by the Hidden Sect. If you really bring out such things, I worry that someone will target you, and not everyone in the Hidden Sect is a good person!" Chen Jing warned.

"If soldiers come, block them with generals; if water comes, cover it with earth. If they really dare to target me, they must be prepared to pay the price!" Lingyun said confidently.

"This... forget it. If anything happens, remember to contact me. I still have some connections in this regard!" Chen Jing said.

"The connections you mentioned, could it be that friend of yours who entered the Hidden Sect?" Lingyun asked.

"Yes, her talent is very strong, and she is highly valued in the sect she belongs to now. If she steps in, few people would refuse to give her face." A hint of envy flashed in Chen Jing's eyes. "When I saw her last year, she was already at the peak of the Earth Tier. I just don't know if she has entered the Heaven Tier by now."

"To be able to enter the Earth Tier at such a young age, it seems her talent is truly extraordinary!" Lingyun smiled.

"Extraordinary? Compared to you and Luo Yexi and the others, her talent is just so-so!" Chen Jing couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"I am different from them and you all!" Lingyun waved his hand slightly.

"How are you different?" Chen Jing asked curiously.

"You will know when the time comes!"

Hearing Lingyun say this, Chen Jing did not ask further. She knew that as long as the timing was right, Lingyun would naturally tell her the reason; this was a tacit understanding formed over the many years they had spent together.

"We're here!" The camper wandered through the mountains for a few turns before driving into a basin.

"This place seems to be shrouded in a powerful Array!" Lingyun stepped out of the car, squinting his eyes as he looked around.

"That's right, this place is shrouded in a massive Array. Ordinary people cannot enter here at all; those who can enter must at least have stepped into the Yellow Tier." Chen Jing nodded.

"Hi, Chen Jing, long time no see!" Just as Chen Jing was about to introduce the Dark World Gathering to Lingyun, a girl's voice rang out not far from them.

Hearing this voice, Chen Jing turned her head in surprise. Standing there was a girl wearing Hanfu. Although the girl's face was not particularly outstanding, she truly radiated an aura that made people feel close to her.

Lingyun's gaze fell on the girl, and a flash of light crossed his eyes. This girl was actually a rare Wood Spirit Body. Although this constitution could not compare to Chen Lingling's Nether Body, it possessed talent in alchemy that ordinary people could not match. The girl was surrounded by a faint scent of herbs; she was likely an Alchemist type of person.

"Lingyun, let me introduce you. This is my friend, Liu Xuan!" Chen Jing chatted with the girl for a few moments before pulling her over to Lingyun.

"Hello!" Lingyun nodded at the girl with a smile.

"Are you the Lingyun that Jingjing has been mentioning in my ear all this time?" Liu Xuan looked at Lingyun with an interested expression.

"What are you saying!" Chen Jing's face turned a bit red, and she gently tugged on Liu Xuan's sleeve.

"Alright, alright, I won't say anymore. If I keep going, Jingjing might not know how she'll deal with me!" Liu Xuan said with a smile.

"Junior Sister, we have a mission coming here; the Martial Uncle and the others are already waiting for us!" Seeing Liu Xuan laughing and talking with a strange, handsome man, the few men who had followed her couldn't help but frown slightly and stepped forward to interrupt their conversation.

Liu Xuan's brow furrowed, and she looked at those men with some displeasure. After all, she only got to meet her good sister once a year, and now these guys were coming up to spoil the mood, even dragging in a Martial Uncle who had always been at odds with her master to remind her; this made her feel unhappy.

"Since you have things to do on your side, go ahead and get busy. The Dark World Gathering won't end in a day or two; let's catch up when you have free time!" Chen Jing said to Liu Xuan.

"Mm, then I'll go to my sect first. I'll come find you tonight!" Liu Xuan nodded at Chen Jing, then turned and walked toward the depths of the market, ignoring the people who had spoken just now.

Seeing Liu Xuan leave alone, the few men from before hurriedly chased after her. As they left, they glared fiercely at Lingyun, seemingly believing that the reason Liu Xuan was angry was entirely his fault.

"It seems I've suffered an unprovoked disaster! Looking at those people's expressions, they seem quite dissatisfied with me!" Lingyun chuckled and spread his hands.

"Don't worry, Liu Xuan will deal with them!" Chen Jing's expression was also somewhat displeased.

"You all should scatter and walk around the gathering; if you see anything you like, just buy it. After all, we aren't short on money!" Lingyun said to Luo Yexi and the others.

"Mm!" The girls present all nodded, then scattered and left.

Lingyun was not worried about their safety. Under his divine sense scan, the strongest person in this market was only at the Xiantian Ultimate. And the Jade Pendant that Luo Yexi and the others carried could withstand attacks from experts beyond the Xiantian realm; even if someone wanted to make a move on them, Lingyun had enough time to rush over.

"This friend of yours is not an ordinary person either; her strength should have already stepped into the Heaven Tier!" Lingyun said to Chen Jing beside him.

"Liu Xuan is one of the people with the best cultivation talent in our generation. If I hadn't met you, she might have become someone I looked up to in the future!"

"She would become someone you look up to? Then you're thinking too much. It should be said that in the future, you will become someone she looks up to!" Lingyun said to Chen Jing with a mysterious look.

Chen Jing might not know it, but Lingyun himself was very clear about how powerful the force hidden behind Chen Jing was. Even the Ji Family had to give way when facing this force. If she had the full cultivation of this force, surpassing Liu Xuan would only be a matter of time. It was just that Chen Jing currently seemed to be in a stage of trial and assessment, which was why she did not know the power of the force behind her.

"Mm? Lingyun, why do you say that?"

"As for that, you'll know later! By the way, can you introduce me to things related to this Dark World Gathering?" Lingyun changed the subject.

"This? The Dark World Gathering was originally a window spontaneously established by people of the Hidden Sect to communicate with the outside world. Later, after a long period of development, it became this rare grand event! Now the Dark World Gathering has become one of the most important gatherings in the China Dark World. Every year at this time, countless experts come to this place. People from the Hidden Sect will also look at this time to see if they can find some people with extraordinary talent to supplement the next generation of talent. So at this time, some family members will also bring their juniors here, hoping that the people of the Hidden Sect will take a fancy to them and let them join the Hidden Sect..."

As Chen Jing spoke about the history of the Dark World Gathering, she led Lingyun toward the market.
