"Furthermore, I will probably never be able to enter Emperor Wu's Gate in this lifetime. So, I am not busy or not. Who knows, I might need your help in the future. If you do not mind my old bones, you can just call me Old Feng. We are of the same generation. "
Xiao Chen felt embarrassed in his heart. The other party was much older than him, and his cultivation was many times higher. How could he dare to be so unbridled?
"Senior Feng must be joking. No one knows what will happen in the future. How can I compare my future accomplishments with Senior?"
Old Feng saw that Xiao Chen's attitude was sincere, his tone neither servile nor overbearing. He did not have the arrogance of a King Grade True Dragon genius or the fawning attitude of a senior expert.
Xiao Chen controlled his attitude very well. That aura was definitely not something he faked. Normally, without a strong mental state, he would not be able to achieve such an effect.
Old Man Feng nodded in his heart. Only with such a state of mind could one go further. He had said those words on purpose. In his long life, Old Man Feng had not been able to go far.
In his long life, he had seen many geniuses, even Emperor Grade True Dragon geniuses who were stronger than Xiao Chen. There were many proud people who set their sights high but were not capable. They died prematurely, no matter how good their talent was.
Old Feng put down the teacup in his hand and smiled faintly. "As long as the King Grade True Dragon geniuses did not die prematurely, they would definitely reach peak Martial Sage. Actually, I am not exaggerating."
The conversation with the old man was not as formal as Xiao Chen imagined. Old Feng did not put on any airs. He even answered several of Xiao Chen's questions about Martial Cultivation.
"Xiao Chen, do you know why the Bushin Palace wants to bring you people to the Kunlun Realm?" Old Feng started to bring up the main topic of the day.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen answered, "The Bushin Palace might have competitors in the Kunlun Realm, so they need to replenish their youth-generation genius cultivators to strengthen themselves."
Old Feng smiled faintly and said, "It is pretty good that you can think of this. However, aside from this, there is another reason. This Sky Dome Realm cannot afford to raise geniuses like you."
Xiao Chen looked at the old man and asked doubtfully, "You can't remember?"
"That's right, we can't afford it." Old Feng pointed at Yue Chenxi and said, "Take Chenxi as an example. Once her talent reaches the Martial Monarch Realm, she still wants to maintain a fast cultivation speed."
"She probably consumes at least ten thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones a year. In less than fifty years, she will use up all the Superior Grade Spirit Stones that the Haotian Sect accumulated."
Xiao Chen was quick-witted as he thought about it. If it were not the age of geniuses, it would be fine to nurture a genius cultivator like this.
This was because if the other sects did not have a worthy opponent, Yue Chenxi would definitely be able to fight for more benefits for the Haotian Sect after he grew stronger, and he would be able to plunder many other sects' spiritual veins and resources.
However, in the golden age of martial artists, there were countless geniuses like her. If she didn't grow up to be an invincible existence, it would be impossible for the sect to recover the resources that they had spent on cultivating her.
When Old Feng saw Xiao Chen's expression, he knew that Xiao Chen understood. He nodded and said, "Hence, she has to enter the Kunlun Realm. Only the resources of the Kunlun Realm can nurture geniuses like you.
"Furthermore, the resources of the Kunlun Realm are not in the hands of the Bushin Palace. They are still in the hands of the strong sects."
Xiao Chen said, "In that case, what does the Bushin Palace do?"
Old Feng explained, "The Kunlun Realm is boundless. It is not just filled with cultivators. The Bushin Palace represents all the cultivators. It fights for all sorts of resources in the Kunlun Realm and fights against the other strong factions.
"I cannot explain it to you in a few words. If you really want to compare it, it is like the Heavenly Extermination Union in the Ancient Desolate Land. However, it is much larger. You will understand when you go to the Kunlun Realm."
Xiao Chen remained calm and collected. He knew that the other party was about to get to the main topic, so he waited quietly for him to continue.
Indeed, Old Feng smiled and said, "When the twenty of you go to the Bushin Palace, your bone age will be tested and your talent will be redetermined. After that, there will be countless sects waiting for you to choose. The stronger you are, the more choices you will have. "
"However, with your talent, there is no need to worry. There will definitely be many large sects fighting to pull you in. These are the conditions that the Haotian Sect can offer you. You can take a look first. There is no rush to reply to me. "
The other party handed over a stack of envelopes. Xiao Chen was not in a rush to open them. Instead, he carefully put them away.
Old Feng smiled faintly and said, "I will take my leave first. No matter what choice you make, the Haotian Sect will never make things difficult for you. The little Haotian Medallion that you once obtained will always be effective."
Regardless of the strength of the Haotian Sect, just Old Feng's bearing and the way he spoke were already very admirable to Xiao Chen.
"Xiu!"
Right after Old Feng spoke, a spatial whirlpool appeared behind him. With a 'shua' sound, it sucked him in. When the whirlpool vanished, it was like the old man had never been there.
"Xiao Chen, what do you think?" Yue Chenxi, who was at the side, asked with some anticipation.
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Perhaps after we go to the Kunlun Realm, you will have to address me as Senior Brother."
Xiao Chen did not know anyone from the nine great sects. At the very least, there was Yue Chenxi in the Haotian Sect. Although the two had only known each other for a short time, they understood each other's characters. Furthermore, Ao Jiao also approved of Xiao Chen going to the Haotian Sect.
Choosing the Haotian Sect might not be the best outcome for Xiao Chen, but it was definitely not the worst choice.
--- At the same time, as Xiao Chen was chatting with the Haotian Sect's Sect Master, Kim Tae-ho was also meeting with a major character. That major character was none other than the welcoming envoy, Wan Feng.
Wan Feng fiddled with a Spirit Core brimming with light and Spiritual Energy in his hand. An azure flaming bird could be vaguely seen in the Spirit Core, flapping its wings and crying out loud like it was alive.
After Wan Feng put away the Spirit Core, he said, "Not bad. The Spirit Core of a Rank 10 Spirit Beast, Azure Luan. Even in the Kunlun Realm, it is still somewhat valuable."
Kim Tae-ho cursed in his heart. What do you mean by somewhat valuable? This thing would be a priceless treasure even in the Kunlun Realm. Do you think this Fat Lord does not know anything?
Furthermore, Wan Feng cultivated a fire-attributed Cultivation Technique. The value of this Azure Luan Spirit Core could no longer be measured in terms of value.
However, Kim Tae-ho could not lose his temper since he had a favor to ask of the other party. He smiled and said, "In that case, can you leave the business in Dragon Sealing City to our Golden Roc Merchant Association to manage in the future?"
Fatso did not lie to Xiao Chen. He was indeed here to discuss business. Furthermore, he was very ambitious. He wanted to swallow up all the business in Dragon Sealing City in one go.
Although Dragon Sealing City had only been open for a month, the people who came this month were all peak cultivators of the continent. The income from spending one million peak cultivators was equivalent to a year's worth of business for the Golden Roc Merchant Association. It was definitely worth fighting for.
Right now, all the business in Dragon Sealing City was in the hands of the top merchant association, the Wan Clan. However, with just a word from Wan Feng, the owner could be changed to him, Kim Tae-ho.
When Wan Feng heard this, his expression suddenly turned cold. He said in a frosty voice, "Scram. Don't mention this topic. Who do you think this young master is?"
Kim Tae-ho was somewhat stunned. He could not understand why the other party suddenly turned hostile. It was clearly the other party who released the news first. That was why he brought the Azure Luan Spirit Core over.
"Cousin, are you receiving a guest?!"
Just at this moment, laughter rang out. Kim Tae-ho turned his head and saw the Wan Clan Merchant Association's Young Master, Wan Shan, walking in with a smile.
Cousin? Wan Feng, Wan Clan Merchant Association, both surnamed Wan. Kim Tae-ho suddenly understood something. He said angrily, "You two bastards! How dare you gang up on me! Return my Azure Luan Spirit Core to me!"
"Did you not hear me? I already told you to scram!"
Wan Feng snorted coldly and sent out a strand of Quintessence with a flick of his finger. A pitch-black crack appeared in space as it flew towards Kim Tae-ho.
Kim Tae-ho was startled. He quickly took out the coffin lid and placed it in front of him. "Ding dang!" The huge force knocked Kim Tae-ho back by ten steps.
"Hey!" Seeing that the coffin lid was undamaged, Wan Feng's eyes lit up. He said, "There is actually an Emperor's Might spreading out."
This time, Kim Tae-ho learned his lesson. He quickly put away the coffin lid and ran away as fast as he could. Then, he said, "You two brats, this Fat Lord will remember you this time. There is no one else in this world who can take advantage of me, Kim Tae-ho."
Wan Shan laughed loudly and said, "How delightful! I finally managed to mess with this Fatso. He has snatched away a lot of our Wan Clan's business in the Great Jin Nation."
However, Wan Feng, who was seated, had an incredibly calm expression. He said indifferently, "He is just a minor character. There is no need to bother with him. However, this Azure Luan Spirit Core is really good stuff."
After chatting with Yue Chenxi about some irrelevant matters, Xiao Chen prepared to take his leave.
Yue Chenxi stood up to send Xiao Chen off. She smiled and said, "We will meet again in half a year. If you are willing, you can come with me to the Haotian Sect now. With the Spirit Vein that the Haotian Sect controls, it will be easier for you to break through to Martial Monarch."
Xiao Chen understood what she meant. The Kunlun Realm's Haotian Sect definitely had its own geniuses. They would also absorb geniuses from other realms. At that time, there would be competition.
Once they reached Martial Monarch, they would be able to avoid some unnecessary trouble. They would also receive more resources.
The Heavenly Saber Pavilion only controlled one Spirit Vein. Naturally, it could not compare to the Haotian Sect. However, to Xiao Chen, there was no difference between the two.
The Purple Thunder Divine Incantation that Xiao Chen cultivated required a vast amount of Essence, at least ten times that of a regular genius cultivator.
Be it the Haotian Sect or the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, Xiao Chen would not be able to advance to Martial Monarch within half a year. The former would be faster than the latter, but it would still take at least a year.
If Xiao Chen wanted to advance to Martial Monarch within half a year, he could only think of other methods. Xiao Chen thanked him politely and rejected the other party's invitation.
After fifteen minutes, Xiao Chen returned to the courtyard of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion and opened the letter that Old Feng gave him.
The contents of the letter gave a rough introduction of the Haotian Sect's situation in the Kunlun Realm. Xiao Chen explained it to Ao Jiao and left it for her to decide.
Ao Jiao muttered, "Your choice was not wrong. I did not expect that after five thousand years, the Haotian Sect's Sect Master would advance to the Greater Heavenly Emperor Wu. In that case, the Haotian Sect's position in the Nine Ranks of the Great Families will definitely rise."
That was good. At least when Xiao Chen went to the Haotian Sect, he would not have to worry about the resources the sect controlled.
There was a black spatial ring in the letter. Xiao Chen scanned it with his Spiritual Sense and saw all the treasures in the spatial ring.
There were more than fifty thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones. This was very shocking. The Heavenly Saber Pavilion was unable to do this.
