Chapter 117: Buying People's Hearts

  Xia Chen glanced over, but it was a move in his heart. He thought to himself that this was actually a good opportunity, and being able to make friends with one more person would add another layer of security for him within the sect. Moreover, each of the three people behind Xu Shaobai had a powerful cultivator backing them, so if he could befriend them, it would be equivalent to befriending those powerful cultivators as well.

  I'm now progressing too quickly, and among the younger generation of disciples, no one is my match. I'm afraid it's only a matter of time before Yue Zifeng and Xu Fang develop murderous intentions towards me. If either of them personally takes action against me, I won't have the ability to resist... Having an extra friend might come in handy at some point...

  Xia Chen walked up to the three people: "Three senior brothers, as they say, 'the fat water doesn't flow into other people's fields.' It just so happens that I still have a few extra Tong Gong Dan in my hand. I won't exchange them with others, and I don't need them now either. Let me give them to you."

  He spread out his palm, with six Conguang Pills in it.

  The three of them were shocked. Lin Fengling said, "Junior Brother Xia, the Tongkuai Dan is so precious, I really can't accept it. Besides, Senior Brother, I don't have any yuan stones, and I'm afraid I would be unworthy to receive it."

  Although he refused, his face showed reluctance.

  "Yes, Xia Shidi, the Tongguan Dan is so precious, you'd better keep it for yourself, we can't accept it..." Xu Shaobai and Leng Xingchen said with gleaming eyes, taking a painful breath.

  Xia Chen burst out laughing: "I'm telling you, three senior brothers, don't be so pretentious. If you're feeling embarrassed, just consider it a personal favor to me. When you all enter the Later Heaven's Tenth Realm and reach the Divine Ability realm in the future, find an opportunity to come back and return it to me then. Hurry up and take it!"

  He didn't stand on ceremony with the three of them either, and directly threw out six Yuan Qi Dan, tossing one to each of the three.

  The three of them wouldn't let this precious elixir fall to the ground, hastily stretched out their hands to catch it, and couldn't help but feel both shocked and delighted.

  Lin Fengling smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then I won't be polite, Xia Shidi, I'll accept your feelings. You're now the number one among the post-heaven disciples. I can't help you with much, but if there's anything I can assist with, I absolutely won't decline."

  Leng Xingchen also smiled and said: "Xia Shidi, I have nothing to say, don't worry, whatever you need, Big Brother is here, everything will be fine."

  Xia Chen smiled slightly, thinking that as long as you have this sentence, it's fine.

  "Summer Shidi, to be honest, I've always been quite dissatisfied with you." Xu Shaobai suddenly said, "I think you just have the reputation of having a Gu Yuan Holy Body, but don't truly deserve my respect. This might not be something you want to hear, but this is what I originally thought."

  Xia Chen, Lin Fengling and Leng Xingchen were all taken aback at the same time.

  Xu Shaobai sighed, "But after seeing you single-handedly challenge the entire Donghua faction, I realized that I was greatly mistaken. I am actually inferior to you. It turns out that I was just a frog in a well, looking at the sky. I hope Master will be magnanimous and not hold it against me."

  Xia Chen smiled slightly, he naturally knew that among the six or more junior brothers who were jealous of him and didn't take it lying down, there weren't many who dared to say it to his face. After all, no one was a fool. This Xu Shaobai was quite frank, saying whatever came to mind, and Xia Chen couldn't help but feel a bit of goodwill towards him.

  He said, "Brother Xu's words are heavy, I'm just relying on luck. Even if my cultivation is strong, after all, the time of cultivation is short and experience is insufficient. In the future, I will still need to ask for guidance from the three senior brothers."

  The three of them saw his humility and sincerity, and couldn't help but have a good impression. They thought to themselves that this young man was indeed not bad, with strong cultivation yet without the slightest hint of arrogance. Compared to Zhuo Bu Fan and Li Yuan Yao, he was much stronger. In the future, if there were any matters, they would naturally offer their assistance.

  Seeing the three chatting enthusiastically, Yu Xiulian, Wu Feng and Fang Ziqing were so jealous that their teeth itched.

  "Fang Shijie, this little beast not only broke through the eight layers of heaven, but also learned to buy people's hearts. Relying on his master being Han Dongyu, who is in charge of the medicine garden, he actually gave away such a precious Tongguan Dan to Xu Shaobai and others, yet he doesn't even give you, Shijie, a glance." Yu Xiulian was both angry and jealous.

  "After the Beast Garden training is over, we will report to the sect leader through Master and Xu Shigu, telling him that he traded elixirs with outer disciples, eating inside and crawling outside. Just this one point can make him suffer a lot." Wu Feng gritted his teeth.

  "You guys are not confused, right?" Fang Ziqing was silent for a while before speaking, "Since he dared to take out the Tongkuai Dan for trading, it must have been given by Han Dongyu. What can we use to report to the sect leader? Besides, even if he is eating inside and crawling outside, at most it's just internal discipline within the sect, what's the point? Our goal is to get rid of this ant, not to make him suffer."

  "Fang Shijie, if you break through to the tenth stage of the Post-Heaven realm, do you have confidence in killing this little beast?" Yu Xiulian asked in a low voice.

  "There used to be, but now there isn't." Fang Ziqing's face was expressionless. "Whether I can break through the tenth level of the Post-Heaven or not is another matter, but this ant has already walked ahead of me. Since he could defeat Sun Huawen, even if I broke through the tenth level of the Post-Heaven, it would be in vain. Now, even if we recover and join forces, we still can't kill him. I reckon that even Master Yue and my master didn't expect him to break through the eighth level of the Post-Heaven halfway."

  "Are we going to let him get away with it? I'm really unwilling to accept this."

  Yu Xiulian coldly smiled and said, "That's not entirely true. In fact, I think the faster this little beast grows up, the more unfavorable it is for him. Originally, Shifu and Xu Shifu regarded him as an ant, without even having the interest to take action. Now that he has grown so fast and is so arrogant, either Xu Shigu or Shifu can easily kill him with just a casual move."

  "It's reasonable, but our master is hard to take action, otherwise he would have done so long ago." Fang Ziqing shook his head and said, "The masters of the divine arts also restrain each other, and everyone knows that Xia Chen and we are not opponents. If we rashly take action and kill him, it will only push them to the forefront, let alone Xia Chen is different from other disciples, now the entire sect attaches great importance to him, if he really kills him, maybe all four ancestors will come out."

  "If I had known that this child would grow up to be like this, I should have found an opportunity to get rid of him at the beginning." Wu Feng's face turned iron-green.

  "It's pointless to say more." Fang Ziqing said expressionlessly, "Besides, we're not completely out of luck now. Didn't Master Yue give you a Thunder Symbol? I also have an ace up my sleeve. When the time comes at the Beast Garden, we'll keep a close eye on him and make our move when there's a chance!"

  "Good!" Yu Xiulian and Wu Feng exclaimed in unison.

  After chatting with Xu Shaobai and the others for a while, Xia Chen returned to sit beside Chen Qiushui.

  At this time, no one came to him for transactions of Tongkuai Dan. After all, it was a waste to use Tongkuai Dan before the ninth rank of Houtian, and even among the disciples of Houtian Ninth Rank, there were not many who possessed Yuanshi.

  However, under the influence of Xia Chen, the disciples of the four major sects also stopped their sparring and began to trade items. After all, at this point in their cultivation, everyone had some treasures on them, and those that were unimportant could be used to exchange for what they needed, making the scene very lively.

  "How's it going? Buying people's hearts seems to be going well." Chen Qiushui said with a smile.

  Xia Chen was taken aback, then smiled and said: "Sister, what I did wasn't trying to buy you off, it's just interacting with a fellow disciple, deepening our relationship. Besides, having one more friend means having one more path."

  "I didn't mean to belittle you," Chen Qiushui said, "In fact, you're right. Sometimes, strength isn't just about individual cultivation, influence is also very important. Otherwise, rogue cultivators wouldn't be far inferior to sects."

  "By the way, Shijie," Xia Chen said, "does Xu Shaobai have some kind of feelings for you? I think his gaze when looking at you is different from when he looks at us."

  "You're quite observant." Chen Qiushui was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Are you paying attention to how he looks at me? Are you jealous?" As she spoke, her eyes sparkled and she shot Xia Chen a glance.

  She speaks half-truths with a charming smile, incredibly captivating.

  "I'm jealous." Xia Chen suddenly became serious, "Shi Jie, I'm telling you, you're my idol, the goddess I worship. How can I let someone else touch you? In this lifetime, there's only you in my heart, and you belong to me alone."

  Chen Qiushui was taken aback, staring blankly at Xia Chen, her mind suddenly becoming a bit chaotic, with a mix of surprise and disbelief. This kid's words were really unbelievable; he wouldn't actually think that she...

  She was lost in thought, when Xia Chen suddenly smiled slyly: "My goddess sister, what's wrong with you? Are you daydreaming again? I've never seen you look so spaced out before, haha."

  "You little rascal, you dare to tease me? I'll kill you!" Chen Qiushui was so angry that she stretched out her slender hand and pinched his neck, shaking him violently.

  Xia Chen has always been low-key and calm, occasionally playing tricks, and his acting skills are quite good, almost deceiving the tenth-generation master sister.

  "I'd rather die at the hands of a goddess, come on, sister, kill me! I'll die without regret, and in eighteen years, I'll be a good man again." Xia Chen was stunned by her and shouted loudly.

  The crowd of disciples stared in shock, and in their impression, the usually elegant and calm, stunningly beautiful senior sister seemed to have lost her composure for the first time today...

  Several hours later, the free trade came to an end, and the night was already deep. The vast majority of disciples had entered closed-eye meditation, and only a few disciples in charge of guarding the night were walking around vigilantly.

  Eight Transcendence Practitioners sat outside the crowd, chatting idly, having entered the Transcendence Realm, no longer requiring rest or sleep.

  A few people exchanged their insights on cultivation. Although the divine transcendence cultivators were already formal cultivators, they had only just stepped into the threshold of cultivation and exchanging ideas with each other was enlightening for both themselves and others.

  Suddenly, Li Chendong's face changed color, and then returned to normal.

  "What's wrong?" Fan Yun noticed his expression.

  "There's nothing, I just suddenly feel a bit uneasy." Li Chen Dong said.

  "You have this feeling again?" Fan Yun exclaimed in surprise.

  A few days ago, Li Chen Dong had an uneasy feeling, but it disappeared later, and the two didn't pay much attention to it. Unexpectedly, this feeling appeared again suddenly, which made the two spiritual masters feel uneasy twice, and it couldn't be considered as a false alarm.

  The other six divine transcendence cultivators looked at each other in dismay, their faces also turning solemn.

  They naturally understood what Fan Yun meant.
