The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 679 Gathering All the Great Medicinal Herbs

The next day, Presbyter Sixth came to him again and talked a lot.

Chu Xun frowned and asked, “Senior, what can I do for you?”

The Sixth Presbyter stopped blabbering with a kind smile on his face like an elder, but Chu Xun was disgusted. As the saying went, even putting on a sheepskin, a beast was still a beast.

Chu Xun could guarantee that if the Presbyter Sixth knew his real identity, he would turn hostile faster in a second.

“Young friend, we’re about to enter the folding space. Do you have anything you haven’t accomplished?”

Chu Xun said, “My only regret is that I failed to gather all the great medicinal herbs for my master.”

The Presbyter Sixth smiled mysteriously. “I knew you had been feeling regretful about this. See what I brought you.”

As speaking, the Presbyter Sixth took out two jade boxes.

“What are these?” Chu Xun was excited, but he pretended to be confused.

He had guessed what they were. His deifying words about the force behind him yesterday really worked.

“Open them and have a look,” the Presbyter Sixth said with a smile.

Chu Xun took them with a puzzled look and opened a jade box. Immediately, a bright light burst out, and a strong medicinal power spread out, refreshing.

“Scarlet Sky Spiritual Leaf!” Chu Xun exclaimed. It was another great medicinal herb needed for the Life Extension Elixir.

Chu Xun opened another jade box and exclaimed again, “Primordial Precious Ginseng.”

“What do you think? Have I relieved your worries?” The Presbyter Sixth smiled radiantly.

Chu Xun nodded obediently and said, “Thank you, Senior. How many spiritual herbs and spiritual elixirs do they cost? No matter how many, I am willing to pay for them.”

The Presbyter Sixth intentionally put on a stern expression. “Young friend, do you mean that you’re not treating us as friends.”

“But...”

“But what? You are Shiwen’s brother, so you are a part of our Ma Family. Your business is our business. Besides, you will lead the team into the folding space this time. You have to take care of those good-for-nothings. So you don’t have to pay for the herbs.”

“In that case, I accept them. On behalf of my master, thank you very much.”

The Presbyter Sixth smiled and said, “That’s right.”

Chu Xun put away the jade boxes and said with a smile, “Now I only need Seven Luminaries Celestial Milk. After gathering all the great medicinal herbs, I will go back to my master. After breaking through, he will definitely come with the whole sect to thank you.”

“Alright. We’ll welcome you at that time.” Presbyter Sixth laughed loudly. “Also, we’ve already sent more people to search for the Seven Luminaries Celestial Milk. When coming out from the folding space, you may get it.”

“Really? Thank you, Senior.” Chu Xun was overjoyed. But in fact, he sneered in his heart. He estimated that the Ma Family had found it. They just wanted to restrain him.

They didn’t know that he had already gotten the Seven Luminaries Celestial Milk. He killed Ma Youchong and got it.

Actually, he had gathered all the materials for the Life Extension Elixir.

The Presbyter Sixth chatted with Chu Xun for a while. Then he got up to leave.

In the next two days, Chu Xun’s performance was remarkable. Most of the time, he guided the young generation of the Ma Family in the Arena and taught them a set of powerful martial skills.

Those old monsters who had been secretly watching Chu Xun gave up monitoring him.

On the morning of the third day, everyone was ready to go to the folding space.

Five Three-headed Vicious Vultures carried the 100 strongest disciples of the Ma Family to the folding space.

At noon, the vultures landed on a majestic mountain range that spanned thousands of kilometers.

There were people everywhere. The people from the other great forces had already arrived.

After the Ma Family occupied their own territory, the Presbyter Sixth instructed everyone to make preparations. Then he left.

Chu Xun had observed along the way and found that the four families occupied four directions respectively. The mountain range was in the center of the four families.

Chu Xun suddenly felt like being stared at by a poisonous snake. He turned around and saw a pair of resentful eyes.

Gu Yang was staring at him. The person had been defeated and plundered by him last time.

Chu Xun nodded slightly to greet Gu Yang. Gu Yang was so angry.

“Other than good-for-nothing Gu Yang, is there any expert from the Gu Family?” Chu Xun asked the disciples of the Ma Family.

These people had all heard Chu Xun had defeated Gu Yang before.

“Apart from Gu Yang, we should be wary of another expert of the Gu Family. His name is Gu Tian. Although his talent is no match for Gu Yang, it’s still terrifying for him to reach the Great Completion of the Gold Immortal Realm at two thousand years old,” Ma Yanchen said.

Ma Yanchen didn’t like Chu Xun, but it was related to whether the Ma Family could go to the earth or not and the future of the disciples of his family. Although he was not happy, he was cooperative.

Gu Yang stared at Chu Xun with great anger.

Chu Xun looked at Gu Yang with a smile and suddenly reached out his hand. He drew back his four fingers, leaving only his middle finger.

Gu Yang didn’t understand the meaning of that gesture, but he knew Chu Xun wasn’t kind. If it weren’t for his people blocking him, he would have rushed to the other party.

“Trash,” Chu Xun mouthed to Gu Yang.

Gu Yang was too angry, and his eyes flickered with a strange red light.

Chu Xun ignored him and turned to look at other places. This time, all the people who came were the strongest disciples of the great forces. All of them had extraordinary cultivation.

“Fiends, do your best. You’d better kill all these guys.” Chu Xun prayed in his heart.

If the most outstanding disciples of these forces were to die inside, the forces would suffer great losses.

The more Chu Xun thought about it, the happier he became. He couldn’t help laughing.

“Brother Liu, what are you laughing at?” Ma Yanchen shivered when he saw Chu Xun laughing. Chu Xun looked a little...

Chu Xun came back to his senses and found that he had been absorbed in his thoughts. He immediately scolded Ma Yanchen with a straight face, “Bastard, call me uncle. Brother Ma and I are brothers, and your Presbyter Sixth calls me young friend. You little bastard, you should show me your respect.”

Ma Yanchen was speechless. He wondered if Ma Shiwen was stupid. Chu Xun was less than two hundred years old, and Ma Yanchen was more than a thousand years old. How could he call Chu Xun uncle?

Ma Yanchen kept silent and walked off to the side sulkily.

Chu Xun saw a familiar face. It was of Ye Huiling. He walked over and said, “Brother Ye.”

Ye Huiling was slightly stunned. He did not expect that Chu Xun would come to greet him. His expression was a little complicated because Chu Xun had surrendered to the Ma Family. Chu Xun was an enemy and no friend to them.

“Mr. Liu, I didn’t expect that we would meet under such circumstances,” Ye Huiling said.

Chu Xun chuckled and said, “I have no choice. The Ma Family helped me find all the great medicinal herbs. They have helped me a lot, so I must repay them. Brother Ye also helped me before. I hope we won’t become enemies after entering it.”

“Do you want to cooperate with us?” Ke Shanming walked over and said.

Some great forces had secretly formed alliances, so this wasn’t something fresh.

Chu Xun shook his head and said, “I didn’t mean that. Our Ma Family will take 30 of the 40 places to the earth. The Canyang Guild can take the other 10 if you have actual strength.”

“You want to occupy 30 places?” Ye Huiling was surprised.

Chu Xun nodded seriously and said, “30 is exactly right. This is my promise to the Ma Family.”

“It sounds like you are bragging,” in the Canyang Guild, a young man with an ordinary appearance but unordinary demeanor sneered.

“Who is this?” Chu Xun looked at him and asked. This man was about the same age as Ma Yanchen, and his cultivation was also at the Great Completion of the Gold Immortal Realm.

“Du Tianyi,” the young man said. “I’ve long heard of the name of the Killing God. I hope you’re not on the wrong side.”

Chu Xun chuckled and ignored him. He preferred to fight in the field other than to argue.

Chu Xun nodded, then turned around and returned to the camp of the Ma Family.

“Ma Yanchen, there are quite a few experts here. It’s a good thing that the presbyters didn’t ask you to lead the team, or the Ma Family would be wiped out,” Chu Xun said indifferently.

Ma Yanchen was annoyed, but he had to admit that Chu Xun was telling the truth. Many experts had come here, and almost all of the experts as famous as him had come.

Chu Xun wanted to continue to tease Ma Yanchen, but suddenly there was a roar in the void.

He looked up and saw winds rolling and clouds surging. The originally clear sky was covered by an invisible force. Suddenly, a huge hole opened in the sky like an invisible beast opening its mouth.

Golden ripples undulated in the hole, illuminating everything within a radius of tens of miles in gold.

“This is the entrance of the folding space. It should open in the evening. Why does it open earlier?” Ma Yanchen muttered.

Chu Xun glanced at him and said, “It’s because of me. Do you know what it means to be invincible in the Gold Immortal Realm? Seeing an expert like me standing here, naturally, the folding space opens earlier to let me in.”

The corners of Ma Yanchen’s mouth twitched. He had never seen such a despicable person before. How could he be so arrogant? Also, why was he so shameless? How dare he say that the folding space opened earlier because of him?

The other members of the Ma Family were very friendly to Chu Xun. Of course, this was built on the premise that Chu Xun could take them to the earth, guide them in cultivation, and teach them cultivation skills.

At this time, the Presbyter Sixth returned.

“Young friend, are you ready?”

Chu Xun replied, “I can’t wait.”

“Haha... Okay. The entrance to the folding space has opened. All of you, prepare yourselves.” As the Presbyter Sixth said this, he raised his hand. A pile of stone tablets flickering with light appeared in mid-air. “Each of you should wear one.”

With a glance, Chu Xun recognized the material of the stone tablets. It was Sensing Stone.

“What’s the use of that?” Chu Xun asked.

The Presbyter Sixth pointed into the distance. Chu Xun looked in the direction of his finger and frowned slightly. There was a huge Sensing Stone about tens of meters high there.

“These tablets will record the number of the Fiends you kill. The record will be projected on the big Sensing Stone. Of course, only the top ten are qualified to appear.” The Presbyter Sixth looked at Chu Xun and said, “This is the best way to prove your strength. If your name appears on the Sensing Stone, you will be famous all over the world.”

“Haven’t I been famous for a long time?” Chu Xun asked.

“It’s not enough,” the Presbyter Sixth said. “Your name is only known in the Eastern and Western Regions. It’s far from enough. If your name appears on the Sensing Stone, you will become really famous all over the world.”

“I got it. I must be No.1,” Chu Xun said proudly. He then looked at Ma Yanchen and patted him on the shoulder. “Follow me closely. You’ll be No.2.”

Ma Yanchen said awkwardly, “I will rely on my own strength to be on the Sensing Stone. I don’t need anyone’s help.”

Chu Xun said disdainfully, “Don’t talk big in front of me, brat. Remember to follow me closely when you go in. I promise you that you will rank second.”

Not to mention Ma Yanchen, even the Presbyter Sixth’s mouth twitched a few times. Chu Xun was less than two hundred years old but called Ma Yanchen brat.
