Chapter 143 Xu Qianying's Past
Chapter 143 Xu Qianying's Past
At noon, the restriction on Shi Chen's cave was triggered.
After closing the restriction and opening the cave door, Shi Chen saw a female cultivator in white clothes. She had a graceful figure, like a lotus swaying gently in the wind, with picturesque eyebrows and a clear face. Her hair was in a bun down to her chest, and she held it up with her bare hands, looking graceful and elegant.
Shi Chen was dazed and stared at the female cultivator in front of him.
"Master Dan! I'm Xu Qianying, nice to meet you!" Mo Yan said shyly.
"Oh, ah!" Shi Chen came back to his senses after hearing the soft voice. He quickly returned the greeting and said, "You're welcome. I wonder why the fairy is here?"
Shi Chen recognized Mo Yan, but she introduced him as Xu Qianying, so she could only wait for him to explain himself.
"I am Mo Yan. I met you in disguise before. Now I have restored my true form and come to thank Master Shidan for saving my life." Xu Qianying said sincerely.
"Well! Are you alone? Brother Du is not with you?" Shi Chen asked without denying.
"We are not in the same immortal city. He was assigned to Guling Immortal City, which is the first immortal city south of Linyang Immortal City."
"Husband!" Liang Ruyan walked up behind Shi Chen and said, "Please ask Fairy Xu to come in first. We are old friends, so let's eat, drink and chat."
"Look at me. Come on, please sit inside. I'll go get two dishes. You guys go to the lobby and wait. It will be ready soon." Shi Chen said after making way for Xu Qianying to enter the cave.
When Shi Chen finished cooking four side dishes and placed them on the dining table, he saw Xu Qianying's face was slightly red and she looked embarrassed, and thought she was embarrassed.
"Please, let's eat and talk." Shi Chen poured three cups of spirit wine, handed one to each of them, and said, "Come, let's drink a full cup to celebrate our reunion."
After both of them finished the spiritual wine in their cups, Shi Chen was about to pick up the spiritual wine pot to pour more wine, but Liang Ruyan grabbed the pot first, filled Shi Chen's glass first, then filled Xu Qianying's glass, and finally filled herself.
Shi Chen was a little surprised, but ignored it and picked up his chopsticks and said, "Eat! Eat!"
After three rounds of wine, five kinds of dishes, and three cups of wine, Liang Ruyan's face had turned red, and her smooth skin was pink.
Xu Qianying's skin was originally fair, but after a few glasses of wine, it had turned red.
Xu Qianying raised a glass of spirit wine and said to Shi Chen, "This glass is for Master Shi Dan. I want to thank you for your help. If you hadn't saved me, I would be a pile of bones now. As long as Master Shi Dan can be of any use to me, I will go through fire and water without a single complaint."
"It's just a small favor, no need to thank me." Shi Chen also raised his glass and said modestly, "Since we are old friends, it is my duty to help you when you are in trouble. However, I was in a hurry at the time, and I was busy. I was afraid that the Jindan cultivator would find the clues and fail to show up."
"Master Alchemist was able to save Brother Du and me from the control of the Jindan cultivator. This was a great favor. In the end, he led the Jindan cultivator away, so we were able to leave safely. Master Alchemist is so kind to us that Brother Du and I are willing to serve him like slaves." Xu Qianying said with great gratitude.
"It's a small matter, but I'm also curious, how come you were controlled by the Jindan cultivator?" Shi Chen asked curiously.
"It's a long story, but since Master Shi Dan wants to hear it, I'll tell you slowly..." Xu Qianying began to narrate what happened.
It turned out that when they received the Foundation Establishment Pill from Shi Chen, they followed Shi Chen's advice and did not sell it within 5,000 miles of Qishafang City, but instead sold it to the Immortal City 8,000 miles away.
First, they distributed the shares. There were six people in total, and each of them got three, leaving twenty. They auctioned them one by one at a small auction house. Over a few months, they auctioned ten low-grade foundation-building orders among several immortal cities and obtained more than 20,000 low-grade spirit stones.
After dividing the spirit stones equally, a conflict arose within the team. The other four wanted to sell the remaining ten foundation-building pills together and demanded that each of them give up two more, leaving only one for themselves to build their foundation.
Du Liangpeng and Xu Qianying objected and wanted to go to different immortal cities for auction, and only bid for two at a time.
The few of them insisted on their opinions, and finally divided the spirit stones and the remaining pills equally. Du Liangpeng took Xu Qianying away from them.
Afterwards, Du Liangpeng and Xu Qianying found a place to build their foundation. After successfully building their foundation, they spent a year consolidating it before they began to sell the foundation-building pills in exchange for resources.
Xu Qianying received four thousand low-grade spirit stones and two foundation-building pills, and she had two left, making a total of four.
Du Lianpeng was given five thousand low-grade spirit stones and a foundation-building pill, which made up three pills in total.
The two of them were already foundation-building cultivators. They traveled through various immortal cities, looking for the auction houses with the highest prices before bidding.
After more than a year, the two of them sold all the foundation-building pills they had, and the resources were enough for them to practice to the middle stage of foundation-building.
When he was auctioning Foundation Establishment Pills in various major immortal cities, he bought a lot of spiritual medicines for Foundation Establishment Pills. He planned to collect thirty or forty of them and then go to Shi Chen to ask him to refine Foundation Establishment Pills for him.
The problem arose when they were purchasing the spiritual medicine for foundation building.
The four former teammates gathered their foundation-building pills, keeping only one for themselves to use in building their foundation, and auctioned them all off in a great immortal city. They were targeted by a family, and finally the four of them were controlled by a golden elixir cultivator.
None of the four had established their foundation, so they were captured by the Jindan cultivator and interrogated together. They gave up Du Liangpeng and Xu Qianying, and following the clues, they found the two in Youhai Immortal City.
Although Du Liangpeng and Xu Qianying were very cautious, they were still searching for the whereabouts of the two people because of their former teammates. They took three foundation-building elixirs as bait and found Du Liangpeng who was outside purchasing foundation-building elixirs. Finally, Mo Yan, who was in disguise as Xu Qianying, was also found.
The two men only knew that Shi Chen was a disciple of Qingxuan Sect, and did not know Shi Chen's whereabouts. The Jindan cultivator had been to Qisha Market, but Shi Chen had been away from the market for many years. Since they could not capture the alchemist, they could only look for opportunities in the two men.
Du Liangpeng and Xu Qianying were captured and held in Youhai Fairy City for two years before they were discovered by Shi Chen, who also knew what happened later.
After arriving at Bailang Immortal City, Shi Chen led away the Jindan cultivator, and the two successfully left the Immortal City. After a few years of wandering, their cultivation level improved a little. However, a war between humans and demons broke out in Dongzhizhou, and the two were forcibly conscripted by the Laizhou Prefecture Army and sent to Dongzhizhou for support.
After several bloody battles and miraculously surviving a near-death experience, the war was suspended for negotiations and the two were sent separately to garrison in the immortal city.
Until yesterday, when I met Shi Chen who went out of the city to enjoy the snow.
Xu Qianying narrated the story in a calm tone, without any dramatic or vigorous speeches. Her calm tone did not convey any sense of crisis at all. She glanced at Shi Chen from time to time, and the whole process took her nearly half an hour to narrate.
After finishing the spiritual wine in the cup, Xu Qianying looked at Shi Chen lovingly and said, "So, Master Shi Dan is the benefactor of me and Brother Du. I will serve you like a slave and serve you wholeheartedly."
"Fate is so unpredictable. Who would have thought that former teammates would become the cause and effect of the future? Now that you have escaped from the sea of suffering, Sister Xu should be more open-minded." Liang Ruyan comforted.
"Thank you, Sister Liang, for your comfort." He glanced at Shi Chen and replied to Liang Ruyan.
Looking at Xu Qianying's eyes, Liang Ruyan knew that she would soon have a sister. But it was also good. She couldn't bear the daily grace from her husband, and it would be much better to have a sister to share the burden. She felt a little sad in her heart.
