Chapter 882
"With the blessing of this magical winged artifact, when you engage in close combat with powerful enemies in the wild, your speed of movement and agility in short distances will be greatly enhanced, making it extremely difficult for your enemies to kill you."
Chen Xuan reached out and took the lightning wings, a genuine joy appearing on his face.
Such top-grade human-level winged magic treasures are made from extremely rare materials, making them incredibly difficult to obtain. The crafting process is also fraught with difficulties and dangers, and the slightest mistake will result in the failure of all previous efforts.
Its value is in no way inferior to that of ten thousand catties of Origin Liquid. In fact, if one were fortunate enough to encounter a peerless genius from a powerful royal family, even if the offer was only ten or twenty thousand Origin Liquid, a deal would be very likely to be made.
"When I return, I will be sure to convey my sincere gratitude to the Marquis and his wife for their generous gifts." Chen Xuan carefully put away the winged magic weapon and looked up at the Azure Sky Pavilion.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Qing Tian Xiao Lou immediately shifted his gaze, fixing it firmly on the small humanoid puppet floating leisurely in the void. He said solemnly, "Compared to the previous two treasures, Brother Chen Xuan, this one can truly be called a grand masterpiece."
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan also focused his gaze on the small puppet.
"Although you are exceptionally talented and can be called a prodigy, throughout history, many prodigies like you have unfortunately perished while venturing out to train and adventure in the realms of the Primordial Realm and the Myriad Manifestations Realm. This puppet is something I specially asked my father to bestow upon you to protect your body and save your life."
After acquiring the puppet, it slowly enlarged in front of the two before finally landing steadily.
The puppet's body radiated a strange luster, its craftsmanship far surpassing anything seen before. Furthermore, its level of intelligence was astonishing, a world apart from the somewhat mechanical and rigid puppet steward on North Dark Peak.
"Meet the master."
Its voice was not mechanical, cold, and emotionless like that of an ordinary puppet; instead, it carried a subtle liveliness and vitality, just like a real person.
After the puppet landed, it respectfully bowed and paid homage to the Azure Sky Pavilion.
“Brother Chen Xuan, this is a puppet with the power of the Nascent Soul level. Only when you step into the Myriad Manifestations Realm will you be able to completely refine and control it. With your current strength at the Foundation Establishment Realm, you can only refine a portion of the array diagram.”
"However, even so, with the eighteen top-grade spirit stones contained within its body as its power source, coupled with its unique and extraordinary refining materials, it is enough to withstand the attacks of ordinary Nascent Soul Daoists and protect you."
Such a gift undoubtedly demonstrates the profound resources and grand vision of a regional lord, truly a remarkable act of generosity.
"Such a treasure, what merit do I have..." Chen Xuan was also shocked by the puppet's astonishing value. The eighteen top-grade spirit stones alone were worth far more than 100,000 catties of source liquid. Such a luxurious configuration was truly astonishing.
"Hehe, to be honest, when I learned that my father intended to bestow this treasure upon you, I couldn't help but feel a little jealous," Qing Tian Xiao Lou said half-jokingly. "However, this is also enough to prove that you have unlimited potential. Seeing that your parents appreciate and value you so much, I am truly happy for you."
As the puppet shrank and was brought before him, Chen Xuan hesitated slightly, then looked up at the Azure Sky Pavilion. With a wave of his hand, an isolation array instantly formed.
Why set up a formation?
This isolation array is quite simple to construct; any cultivator could easily set it up. The appearance of this array often signifies that a highly confidential matter is about to be discussed, one that cannot be spied upon by others.
Chen Xuan didn't hide anything and frankly told everyone: "To be honest, with the strength I've shown so far, it would be no easy task for an ordinary Nascent Soul Daoist to hurt me. However, if a Nascent Soul Daoist whose strength is comparable to an immortal were to make a move, even with the help of such a protective puppet, I could only hold out for a few more breaths."
After Chen Xuan finished speaking, he looked at Qing Tian Xiao Lou, who was standing there with his eyes wide open in shock, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Therefore, this puppet is not only difficult to play a substantial protective role for me, but at critical moments it may even become a burden to me."
Today, thanks to Qing Tianhou's deliberate efforts to win him over, Chen Xuan also took the opportunity to reveal a little of his true strength. In this way, he could ensure that he could cultivate in peace without any worries in the future.
"Ah? Ordinary Nascent Soul Daoists are already unable to do anything to you?" Qing Tian Xiao Lou repeatedly chewed on this astonishing information. However, he was only at the Foundation Establishment Realm at the moment, and it was hard to imagine that someone at the Foundation Establishment Realm could contend with a Nascent Soul Daoist. Such strength was truly heaven-defying.
"Although this puppet is useless to me, it has immeasurable value to my tribe."
Chen Xuan stared at the small building in the blue sky and whispered through sound transmission, "Please secretly send your trusted servants to deliver this puppet to the Longxia tribe within the territory of Qushan, and personally hand it over to the Longxia tribe's chief, Long Xiaotian."
The essence of friendship lies in mutual honesty and commitment. The actions of the Qing Tianhou couple today have clearly revealed their intentions and are full of sincerity.
Having decided to embark on this great journey, Chen Xuan knew that he not only had to do his best to prove his own worth, but also had to let the other party truly feel his sincerity and serious attitude.
"Alright, you can rest assured about this matter. Only you and I know about it, and there will never be a third person who knows that this concerns your tribe."
Servants are absolutely loyal to their masters; this is an ironclad rule in the world of cultivation. Even if their master unfortunately dies, they will strictly abide by their oath to Heaven, keeping their mouths shut and never revealing a single secret.
Qing Tian Xiao Lou, born into a noble and extraordinary family and possessing exceptional intelligence, was well aware of the implications. Now that he had learned of Chen Xuan's astonishing secret, he had already made a plan and knew how to handle the situation properly.
This exchange was almost equivalent to Chen Xuan being completely honest and open with him. The friendship and trust between the two took another step forward, nearly reaching a state of complete openness and confiding in each other.
Every Qingtian Marquis needs a group of loyal and unwavering supporters in order to gain a foothold in the treacherous world of cultivation and achieve great things.
In Qing Tian Xiao Lou's mind, Chen Xuan had become one of the most powerful candidates he recognized as the future person who would help him ascend to the throne, and also his only future brother-in-law.
The next Qingtian Marquis will personally protect a weak tribe, which can be said to be without any pressure.
"I, Qingtian Xiaolou, swear by the Heavenly Dao..."
Before Chen Xuan could say anything, Qing Tian Xiao Lou had already quickly drafted a solemn oath, and then issued it without hesitation.
This secret was sealed away from then on, and he would never reveal it to anyone other than his servants.
Thank you for your understanding.
"Hahaha, there's no need for thanks between brothers like us. This is just our duty." Qing Tian Xiao Lou laughed heartily, secretly rejoicing that he had managed to get the opportunity to meet Chen Xuan. Otherwise, how would he have known that Chen Xuan possessed such heaven-defying strength, being able to be fearless of ordinary Nascent Soul Daoists with only the Foundation Establishment Realm?
Ordinary Yuan Shen Daoists are high and mighty, and awe-inspiring beings in various sects and schools!
Consider Chen Xuan at this moment; he is only at the Opening Mansion Realm, and his most profound divine and demonic body-refining technique, the "Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram," is only at the Innate Realm. Yet, he can still display such terrifying strength that chills one's heart.
If he were to break through to the Myriad Manifestations Realm, or even the Primordial Spirit Realm, or even the Reverse Void Immortal Realm in the future, what astonishing strength would he possess?
Qing Tian Xiao Lou dared not think any further, but in her heart she was already certain of Chen Xuan's identity and status as her future brother-in-law.
