Chen Xuan personally led Xia Ruofei to Yunxiao Peak along the bluestone mountain path.
The two of them talked and laughed along the way. From time to time, they would pass by disciples. When they saw Chen Xuan, they would stop and salute him respectfully.
Chen Xuan did not put on the airs of an elder or the son of the head of the sect. He smiled and nodded gently to everyone.
"Brother Xia, the Tianyi Sect has a total of six peaks. Yunxiao Peak is in the middle, and it is personally controlled by the head of the sect. Some of the important places of the sect are basically on Yunxiao Peak." Chen Xuan introduced as they walked. "I also lived on Yunxiao Peak since I was a child, but when I became an adult, I had my own residence."
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "It's easier to live on your own!"
Chen Xuan laughed and nodded. "It's indeed much easier!"
Whether it was in the cultivation world or the secular world, every child probably had the same mentality when they were young. They wanted to be free from the control of their parents. Many children applied to universities far away from home after the college entrance examination. Many of them had the same mentality.
"Brother Xia, my father is a very kind person, especially when it comes to the young prodigies of the cultivation world. He has always been very supportive so you don't need to be too nervous." Chen Xuan cheerfully said.
"Actually, it's okay …" Xia Ruofei said, "I'm more curious than nervous! After all, your father is the best in the cultivation world! "
Chen Xuan waved his hand with a smile and said, "That's just some rumors in the cultivation world. My father himself said that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the cultivation world. Many masters live in seclusion. He's just a cultivator at the late stage of the Gold Core Realm, so he can't be called the best in the cultivation world. Anyway, this can't be said in the Tianyi Sect, including the so-called number one sect in the cultivation world. We never really consider ourselves as the number one sect, so as not to make ourselves a laughingstock. "
"That's modest of you!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "It's hard to say whether your father is the best in the cultivation world, but the strength of the Tianyi Palace is obvious to all. In terms of comprehensive strength, there are almost no sects in the cultivation world that can be on par with the Tianyi Palace!"
"You flatter me! You flatter me! "Chen Xuan smiled and waved his hand.
The two of them moved very quickly, and in a short while, they arrived in front of a cable bridge.
Xia Ruofei looked up and saw five steep peaks rising from the cloud-shrouded valley. The one in the middle was the tallest, and the other peaks were scattered around like stars surrounding the moon.
Each peak had a rope bridge connecting it to the peak in the middle.
Xia Ruofei looked at the cable bridge in front of him and realized that he was actually standing on one of the peaks.
So there were a total of six peaks.
Sure enough, Chen Xuan stood at the end of the bridge and introduced with a smile, "Brother Xia, we're at Qingyun Peak. This is the only peak that can be directly reached after entering the sect. Most of the ordinary disciples cultivate and live in Qingyun Peak. This cable bridge leads to Yunxiao Peak. Brother Xia, please! "
"Brother Chen, please!" Xia Ruofei made an inviting gesture and then stepped onto the cable bridge with Chen Xuan.
The steel cable as thick as an arm connected the two peaks. After stepping on the cable bridge, Xia Ruofei immediately felt like he was floating in the air.
The wind in the valley was generally strong. As long as a gust of wind blew, the cable bridge would sway.
Moreover, the cable bridge didn't have a special railing. There was only a steel cable on both sides of the bridge as a basic protection. The planks under his feet weren't tight, and the gaps in many places were very wide. He could see the faintly discernible valley under his feet in the clouds.
If it were an ordinary person, his legs would probably go weak and tremble in fear after walking on this cable bridge.
However, Xia Ruofei naturally wouldn't be like this.
He was now a cultivator in the Gold Core stage and could fly on his sword at any time. Even before he started cultivating, when he was serving in the army, he had experienced environments much more dangerous than this. His psychological quality had long been trained.
On the swaying cable bridge, Xia Ruofei looked relaxed and walked very steadily step by step.
Chen Xuan naturally didn't have any problems. As he walked, he introduced the basic situation of Yunxiao Peak to Xia Ruofei in a relaxed manner.
In addition to the residence of the sect leader, there was also a very important meeting hall for the elders. Basically, all the major decisions of the Tianyi Sect were made on Yunxiao Peak.
In addition, there was also the ancestral hall of the Tianyi Sect. The memorial tablets of the sect leaders and elders of the past generations were enshrined in the ancestral hall.
Soon, the two of them walked across the cable bridge, which was two to three hundred meters long, and arrived at Yunxiao Peak.
At the end of the cable bridge, about twenty to thirty meters away from the top of Yunxiao Peak, there was a special disciple guarding it. Yunxiao Peak was an important place of the Tianyi Sect. Naturally, not everyone could enter it.
Even some high-level disciples had to ask in advance if they wanted to enter Yunxiao Peak.
Of course, Chen Xuan was naturally not one of them.
He led Xia Ruofei to the end of the cable bridge. The disciple guarding the cable bridge immediately bowed and greeted, "Greetings, Young Sect Leader!"
Chen Xuan nodded slightly and asked, "Is the sect leader free now?"
"Young Sect Leader, the sect leader said that when you and Young Master Xia arrive, you can go directly to the meeting hall. He is waiting in the meeting hall," the disciple replied respectfully.
"The meeting hall?" Chen Xuan was slightly stunned and showed a hint of surprise. However, he immediately returned to normal and said indifferently, "Got it."
The function of the meeting hall was not only for the elders to discuss matters, but also for receiving some more important guests. Generally, the sect leader and the elders would personally receive them in the meeting hall to show that they valued them.
Chen Xuan originally thought that his father would meet Xia Ruofei in his residence. After all, Xia Ruofei was just a young junior. It was already very polite of his father to receive him in person.
He didn't expect that not only did his father receive Xia Ruofei in person, but he also received him in the meeting hall.
This was at least the standard for receiving the sect leaders of other sects.
However, Chen Xuan thought about it again and felt that this didn't seem to be a big deal — Xia Ruofei's performance at the auction was clearly seen by anyone with a discerning eye. Even the sect leader of the Star Picking Sect, Luo Qingfeng, seemed to listen to Xia Ruofei's words and even follow his orders.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei's status in the Star Picking Sect seemed to be even higher than Luo Qingfeng's.
Logically speaking, although Xia Ruofei was young, his status was not lower than that of a sect leader. Therefore, it didn't seem too strange that his father would receive Xia Ruofei in the meeting hall.
"Brother Xia, this way please!" Chen Xuan said with a smile.
Xia Ruofei didn't know much about the Tianyi Sect, so he naturally didn't know the special meaning of the sect leader receiving him in the meeting hall. He just followed Chen Xuan's footsteps and spiraled up the flat mountain path.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the peak of the mountain.
A majestic hall was built on the peak of the mountain. Two disciples in the eighth layer of Qi Refining stood on either side of the hall's entrance.
After seeing Chen Xuan, the two disciples bowed in greeting and directly made an inviting gesture.
Chen Xuan led Xia Ruofei into the hall.
Xia Ruofei quickly observed his surroundings. The hall was about ten meters tall, which was about the height of a three-story building. Purple-gold pillars were neatly arranged, supporting the entire hall. Flat bluestones covered the entire hall. Starting from the entrance of the hall, there was a six-meter-wide path paved with a kind of light blue stone.
On both sides of the path, chairs were neatly arranged.
At the end of the path, there were steps paved with the same kind of blue stone.
After the nine steps, there was a small platform with a table and chairs placed on it.
A figure wearing a moon-white robe was sitting behind the table. Xia Ruofei wanted to take a closer look, but he found that he seemed to be unable to see the person's appearance clearly.
Of course, this wasn't because Xia Ruofei's eyesight wasn't good enough. After becoming a cultivator, he could even clearly see an ant at such a short distance.
However, when Xia Ruofei's gaze fell on the person sitting at the top of the hall, he felt that the person's face seemed to be covered by a layer of fog. He couldn't see clearly.
Of course, Xia Ruofei knew that this person must be Chen Xuan's father, the current sect leader of the Tianyi Sect, and the late Golden Core cultivator, Chen Nanfeng.
Therefore, he only caught a glimpse of the person. Of course, he didn't dare to look at him unscrupulously.
Soon, Xia Ruofei felt a gaze fall on him. This gaze wasn't overbearing, but it seemed to be all-conquering. It made Xia Ruofei feel like he was being seen through from head to toe.
"Greetings, Father!" Chen Xuan led Xia Ruofei to a place about ten meters away from the stairs and stopped. He bowed and said, "Father, this is Brother Xia Tian from the Star Picking Sect!"
"Greetings, Sect Leader Chen!" Xia Ruofei also cupped his fists and said loudly.
"This is my little friend Xia Tian?" Chen Nanfeng's voice sounded. "You're indeed young and promising!"
Xia Ruofei felt that Chen Xuan's voice was actually very gentle. It was similar to Chen Xuan's style, the kind that was very amiable. However, at the same time, he could also feel that there seemed to be a kind of magic in this voice that could make people submit.
Xia Ruofei immediately realized that this Sect Leader Chen must have extremely high attainments in spiritual power.
One had to know that Xia Ruofei's spiritual power had already reached the late stage of the Spirit Gathering Realm. It was stronger than most cultivators in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm. However, just a simple sentence from Chen Nanfeng made Xia Ruofei feel like he was in a trance.
This meant that Chen Nanfeng's spiritual power cultivation was much higher than Xia Ruofei's.
This made Xia Ruofei couldn't help but feel a wave of shock.
However, Xia Ruofei quickly came back to his senses. He quickly bowed slightly and said, "Sect Leader Chen, you're too kind! Brother Chen Xuan is a gem in front of me. This junior doesn't deserve the evaluation of 'young and promising'! "
Chen Nanfeng chuckled and said, "Little friend Xia, Chen Xuan's cultivation is much lower than yours at your age! You don't have to be so humble. "
Hearing this, Chen Xuan couldn't help but be shocked. He couldn't help but turn his head and look at Xia Ruofei.
When Chen Xuan was 24 or 25 years old, his cultivation had already reached the eighth tier of the Qi Refining Realm. The main reason was that it took him a long time to break through to the Golden Core Realm. In the early stage of cultivation, as the young sect leader of the Tianyi Sect, he never lacked resources. Moreover, he had the guidance of a famous teacher, so his cultivation speed was naturally very fast.
Chen Xuan had never been able to see through Xia Ruofei's cultivation. He only thought that Xia Ruofei had cultivated a secret method to hide his cultivation, or that he had a magic treasure to hide his cultivation.
However, he never thought about how high Xia Ruofei's cultivation was. After all, he was so young!
However, when Chen Xuan heard his father's words, he seemed to be saying that Xia Ruofei's cultivation was very high!
At his age, his cultivation was probably at the eighth tier of the Qi Refining Realm, or even the ninth tier of the Qi Refining Realm. If such a cultivation was "far inferior" to Xia Xia's, then didn't that mean that the other party was very likely already at the Aurous Core Stage?
After Xia Ruofei heard Chen Nanfeng's words, he couldn't help but be stunned.
After all, he had come into contact with so many Aurous Core Stage cultivators at the auction, but no one had been able to see through his true cultivation.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped into the meeting hall, Chen Nanfeng seemed to have seen through his cultivation with just a glance.
Could Chen Nanfeng have been guessing? Xia Ruofei couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
At this time, Chen Nanfeng chuckled and said, "Little friend Xia is so young, yet he has already entered the early stage of the Aurous Core Stage. Moreover, his foundation is extremely solid. This can be said to be unheard of in the cultivation world in the past few hundred years! It seems that the news about little friend Xia being a direct disciple of the Nascent Soul Stage should be true. "
"Aurous Core Stage!" Although he had already guessed it, Chen Xuan still couldn't help but exclaim out loud. He stared straight at Xia Ruofei with an expression of disbelief on his face.
Of course, Chen Xuan would never doubt his father's eyesight.
Since his father said that Xia was already an Aurous Core Stage cultivator, then it couldn't be wrong.
Everyone thought he was at the Qi Refining Stage … Chen Xuan's heart was in turmoil.
He quickly recalled the scenes after he met Xia Ruofei, and realized that the other party had never said that he was a Qi Refining Stage cultivator, including when he entered a state of cultivation after drinking the wild tea, but did not break through. At that time, Xia Ruofei only said that his cultivation method was a bit special.
On the other hand, Chen Xuan himself, as well as Mu Sheng of the Surging Wave Sect and Liu Mansha of the Soaring Flower Valley, had always thought that Xia Ruofei was a Qi Refining Stage cultivator.
Chen Xuan had even taken out the Jade Water Flying Boat several times out of consideration for Xia Ruofei's feelings.
If he had known that he was an Aurous Core Stage cultivator, wouldn't it have been better to just fly on his sword? Chen Xuan couldn't help but ridicule in his heart.
Of course, Chen Xuan also knew that Xia Ruofei didn't say that he was a Qi Refining Stage cultivator. At most, he knew that everyone had misunderstood, so he just went with the flow.
At this moment, Xia Ruofei didn't have any wishful thinking. Facing Chen Xuan's gaze, Xia Ruofei revealed a trace of a bitter smile and said, "Brother Chen, this little brother didn't mean to hide it, but … from the beginning, everyone had always thought of me as a Qi Refining Stage cultivator, so I didn't take the initiative to clarify … Later, naturally, it was even more inconvenient for me to take the initiative to say what my cultivation was like …"
"Haha! It was us who had preconceived notions … "Chen Xuan said self-deprecatingly," Brother Xia, you've really made me look at you in a new light! "
"You're too kind! Brother Chen, please don't praise this little brother to death … "Xia Ruofei said modestly, and then cupped his hands towards Chen Nanfeng, who was at the top of the stairs, and said," Sect Leader Chen's vision is like a torch! You really live up to your reputation! "
