Chapter 16 Guest Elder of the Demon City? Yang Chan is Jealous.
"This is the essence of innate Wood element!?"
Chen Xuan was a rare species from the primordial era, who attained enlightenment from the roots of the Golden Thunder Bamboo. He was a spirit of innate Yi Wood, and his origin resonated with that piece of withered wood, even possessing an irresistible allure.
The Fox King nodded and laughed, "Little mage has a good eye. This is the Fusang Divine Tree, one of the ten great innate spiritual roots of the primordial world. A withered branch contains boundless essence of Yi wood. If a Yi wood spirit obtains it, its cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds, and it will benefit immensely."
"A withered branch of the sacred Fusang tree!"
Chen Xuan stared intently at the withered branch, his heart filled with turmoil.
The ancient, primordial era.
The struggle between the Witch and Demon races triggered a cataclysmic event that shattered the universe, causing the heavens and earth to crack. Even the supreme innate spiritual root, the Fusang Divine Tree, was broken and shattered into pieces.
Therefore, he naturally knew the value of this withered branch of Fusang. In the entire Three Realms, such a divine object was a rare treasure that could only be encountered by chance.
After pondering for a while...
Chen Xuan composed himself, suppressing his excitement, and bowed to the Fox King, saying, "Fox King, what is the meaning of this?"
Upon hearing this, the Fox King smiled faintly: "This is just a small gift, meant to apologize for my daughter's rudeness. I hope the young mage can forgive me and not hold a grudge."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan quickly waved his hand and said, "Fox King, you are mistaken. You are too kind. We have no grudges against each other. Moreover, you once asked Qianjin to expose the evil deeds of the City God and led me to subdue the demon. I have already been grateful for your kindness. So why should I apologize?"
This treasure is far too precious for me to accept; I am unworthy to receive it, absolutely not.
Chen Xuan's words were heartfelt.
Regarding the previous incident, he said he could understand.
Those in positions of high rank are the focus of everyone's attention; those in positions of great power are often the target of prying eyes.
He was a direct disciple of the Supreme Sage and also served as a sixth-rank Heavenly Inspector in the Heavenly Court, holding a prestigious position with an unprecedentedly powerful background.
Even without the scheming of the Fox Clan, who fawned over them and tried to curry favor.
In the future, there will also be cat tribes, dog tribes, pig tribes... and so on, coming in droves.
It is both understandable and unavoidable.
However, to be fair, the Fox King's actions today were very much to his liking.
Even if there were unpleasant moments before, they have all vanished and the past grievances have been completely resolved.
Upon hearing this, the Fox King of Ten Thousand Years simply shook his head. He picked up his wine cup, took a sip, and then slowly spoke, saying frankly, "Little mage, don't be impatient. This is not just an apology, but also a transaction."
It has to be said that sincerity is the ultimate weapon!
The Fox King of Ten Thousand Years didn't beat around the bush and spoke the truth, which made Chen Xuan admire him even more.
"trade?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan's heart stirred, his eyes narrowed slightly as he stared intently at the Fox King, and he subconsciously asked a question.
The atmosphere inside the hall suddenly became quiet.
The entire hall of demon soldiers held their breath and dared not utter a sound.
Yang Chan also put down her wine cup, her eyes darting around as she quietly looked at the Fox King, wanting to know what he was really up to.
"To be honest, it's like this: in recent years, my cultivation has been hampered by a bottleneck, stopping at the peak of the Profound Immortal realm, unable to make any further progress. I wish to go into seclusion to break through the threshold of the Golden Immortal realm and attain immortality."
During my seclusion, the city of Wansui has inevitably been restless and turbulent. Therefore, I humbly invite the young mage to serve as a guest elder of our Wansui Fox Clan, protecting our clan for ten years. I wonder if you would be willing?
The Fox King of Ten Thousand Years had a very clever plan; he only wanted to bind a prodigy like Chen Xuan, with his outstanding background and deep connections, to his own side.
Previously, he even went so far as to target his own daughter.
If we can capture Chen Xuan, everyone will be happy.
Even if you can't win it, you can still create a positive connection.
Thus, the Fusang Divine Wood that he had painstakingly acquired from the demon market at great expense came in handy.
Long live the Fox King!
Chen Xuan remained silent, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.
With this piece of the innate Yi wood essence of the Fusang divine tree, he was absolutely confident that he could attempt to break through to the mysterious and profound realm of the Xuanxian within a few short years.
Moreover, having accumulated the essence of Fusang Yi Wood within his body over the years, he will naturally have a greater chance of attaining immortality as a Golden Immortal in the future.
In addition, with the fire attribute of the Fusang Divine Tree, Chen Xuan, who possesses the roots of the Golden Thunder Bamboo, will be able to refine it once it is refined, just like heavenly thunder striking earthly fire, making his offensive methods unimaginably powerful.
It can be said that this deal was exactly what the Fox King wanted, with only benefits and no drawbacks.
While considering the matter, the Fox King of Ten Thousand Years, fearing that Chen Xuan might refuse, quickly added, "Little Master, please rest assured. Protecting Ten Thousand Years City will not affect your training and cultivation. As long as the fox clan of Ten Thousand Years City is in trouble, I am willing to go to great lengths to help. That would already be a great favor!"
Since we've already come this far...
After much deliberation, Chen Xuan found no reason to refuse.
"In that case, I will accept this position as a guest elder. In ten years, I will exchange it for this piece of Fusang Divine Tree in the Fox King's possession."
"Hahaha—Good! Excellent!"
Seeing this, the Fox King, who had been holding his breath, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He laughed twice, and with a flick of his sleeve, sent the brocade box containing the Fusang Divine Wood flying into Chen Xuan's hand.
"this……"
Chen Xuan was stunned and at a loss, thinking, "How can you take money before doing anything? Could this Fox King be... drunk?"
"Little mage, you're so generous. I won't delay either. I'll give you this item first. I suppose you're not one to break your word."
The Fox King was overjoyed, his face beaming, and he patted his chest with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan did not stand on ceremony and gladly accepted the offer.
--------
It was already late when the banquet ended.
The Fox King then invited Chen Xuan and Yang Chan to stay overnight.
Yang Chan initially wanted to politely decline, but considering the formidable methods of the Fox King, she felt inexplicably uneasy about Chen Xuan.
They were terrified that Chen Xuan would be kidnapped and become a live-in son-in-law of Wansui City.
So Yang Chan stayed with Chen Xuan and they spent the night together in Wansui City.
……
"Young master, this is your room. My room is right next door. If you need anything, just call me."
"Thank you, Princess. You've gone to so much trouble."
……
Whether it was the old fox, the Fox King, who did it on purpose or not, Princess Jade Face was responsible for arranging Chen Xuan and Yang Chan's lodging.
As she spoke, Princess Jade Face blushed, lowered her head, and as her red lips parted slightly, the pair of fox ears on her head trembled gently, exuding a captivating charm and a unique allure.
After the banquet, Princess Jade Face was secretly delighted to learn that Chen Xuan would forgive her past transgressions and had promised to protect the Fox Clan for ten years.
She had secretly fallen for him long ago, though she didn't know when it started...
Yang Chan saw all of this and felt inexplicably uneasy.
She felt a mix of emotions, especially when she saw men approaching Chen Xuan.
At the same time, he couldn't help but think to himself, "What a vixen!"
It seems her worries were not unfounded!
……
"Creak—"
Afterwards, Chen Xuan thanked Yu Mian, closed the door, and eagerly grasped the withered branch of the Fusang Divine Tree in his palm. He then channeled his magic power to refine it.
Breakthrough!
