Chapter 525
"It is Lord Bai Li."
While Chen Xuan was in seclusion, Bai Li, as the strongest fighter in the Longxia tribe, silently protected the peaceful life of Jiucheng in Chen Xuan's place.
During this time, she also searched for various elemental essences needed for the Nine-Tempering Demon Body for Elder Long, so Bai Li already had a very high prestige in the Longxia tribe.
"Ancestor."
Unlike the reactions of the higher-ups in Longxia, the demon beasts at the Pifu Realm who were on duty in the tribe during this period looked at Bai Li with awe and called her "Ancestor".
Huhu——
A white figure swooped down from the sky, her laughter as melodious as a guide. Her body was light and tall, and her white skirt drew a graceful curtain in the air with the wind.
"Master, it's been a month! Have you finally emerged from seclusion?"
This time, Chen Xuan went into seclusion to cultivate and comprehend the Dao, but he shut down his six senses. This meant that even Bai Li, as a spirit beast, could not communicate with Chen Xuan directly through their minds during this period.
Given Bai Li's dependence on her master Chen Xuan, one can imagine how she managed to get through this past month.
At this moment, Bai Li ignored the gazes of dozens of people around her and rushed into Chen Xuan's arms, hugging him tightly and greedily inhaling his scent.
Facing the onlookers, including Elder Long, Chen Xuan smiled and gently touched Bai Li's long, black hair.
"With so many people around, don't you feel ashamed?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Li looked up at Chen Xuan's face and pouted her red lips, saying, "Bai Li doesn't care about other people's opinions. Bai Li only knows that she hasn't seen her master for a long time and misses him terribly. She just wants to hug her master like this."
Chen Xuan wore a plain-colored long robe, while Bai Li wore a flowing white dress. In the eyes of the people around them, the two looked like a divine couple.
"Master, Bai Li has a lot to say to you," Bai Li said, looking at Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan glanced at Elder Long and the others and said, "In that case, Bai Li and I will return to Tangwu Mountain. As for the development of the tribe and so on, you all just need to do your work. If you encounter any difficulties, you can directly tell the demon beast clans on duty, and they will inform Bai Li immediately."
Elder Long and the others nodded with smiles upon hearing this.
Under the watchful eyes of Elder Long and other high-ranking members of Longxia, Chen Xuan and Bai Li soared into the air and disappeared into the afterglow of the setting sun in a few breaths.
The golden sunset poured down from the far reaches of the heavens, as if gilding the endless lands of the nine heavens and ten earths with a golden divine glow. The view from high above was especially breathtaking.
A gentle breeze blew by, causing Chen Xuan and Bai Li's clothes and skirts to flutter.
“Master, during your seclusion, our spirit fields on Tangwu Mountain yielded four harvests of spirit grains and two harvests of spirit herbs. Each harvest of spirit grains yielded two thousand catties, totaling one thousand catties. The two harvests of spirit herbs totaled about two hundred catties. And this is after deducting the amount sown.”
Despite being on the Jade Dragon Sword, Bai Li still clung tightly to Chen Xuan's arm, her gaze as gentle as water as she looked at him.
As she spoke, Bai Li flipped her hand, and a brocade pouch and a jade bottle appeared in her hand, which she handed to Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan was very happy to see the storage magic item handed to him.
With such cultivation resources at hand, why worry about not being able to reach the Extreme Dao Opening Palace Realm?
"Thank you for your hard work, Bai Li. This 1000 jin is for you and your descendants. Of course, you can also bestow it upon your spirit beasts if you wish."
"These 10 catties of elixir must not be shared with others; this is a reward that belongs only to you."
Of the 8000 jin of spiritual grain, 1000 jin were directly given to Bai Li, and of the 200 jin of spiritual herbs, 10 jin were directly given to her. This shows how much Chen Xuan values Bai Li.
It should be noted that when Chen Xuan went to the Jiang family to make a transaction, he only brought out 200 catties of spirit grain.
And what about elixirs?
Ten jin (5 kg) would be over a hundred plants.
"There are too many, Master. There are far too many."
The gift of a thousand catties of spiritual grain and ten catties of spiritual herbs was something Bai Li had never imagined.
As a master who can decide her own life and death with a single thought, she would have no complaints even if she were not granted anything at all.
"What? You're not even listening to your master anymore?" Chen Xuan said with a smile when he saw Bai Li's flattered expression.
"Okay, alright." Bai Li saw the determination in Chen Xuan's eyes and was sure that he was not just testing her before accepting the cultivation resources. After receiving them, Bai Li looked at the handsome features of Chen Xuan's face and was momentarily captivated.
At this moment, Chen Xuan stood with his hands behind his back on the Jade Dragon Slash, his unfathomable eyes gleaming with a distant vision.
"Master, you're so handsome!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan smiled and rubbed Bai Li's head. "Then take advantage of my seclusion to see more of her. If the tribe is alright, I will have to go into seclusion again soon."
Upon hearing this, Bai Li was startled and immediately realized something.
"By the way, Master, some things happened outside while you were in seclusion."
Upon hearing Bai Li's words, Chen Xuan looked at her and asked, "What is it?"
"The struggle for supremacy on the border of the Jiang clan is intensifying. Some time ago, out of curiosity, I thought of leaving Zelinhai for a short trip. However, I unknowingly ended up in the disputed area of the Jiang clan's territory. At that time, I was thousands of meters in the air and found that at least three battlefields were fighting on the ground below."
Bai Li recalled her recent memories and looked at Chen Xuanxu, saying, "Although I dislike any human forces, I am somewhat familiar with the aura of the Jiang clan. After some investigation, I discovered that the combined power of the three overlords and their cultivators has already overwhelmed the Jiang clan's strength."
"Oh?" Chen Xuan's expression darkened slightly upon hearing Bai Li's account. He hadn't expected that his casual deduction back then would actually come true.
"If the Jiang family suffers repeated defeats, then the Zelinhai region will be directly exposed to the three overlords."
Chen Xuan immediately proceeded to deduce the cause of this change.
However, no matter how he deduced it, he could not ignore one fact: if the three overlords invaded Zelinhai and discovered Longxia's large-scale spiritual fields, they would probably directly join forces with the four overlords, the Ruan, Hong, Ji, and Dou clans, to launch a joint attack on Zelinhai's Ten Thousand Demon Defense Line.
"It seems that I, Zelin Hai, can no longer sit idly by in this matter."
Chen Xuan murmured, "Relatively speaking, the Longxia tribe prefers to maintain this delicate relationship with the Jiang clan, keeping to themselves and not interfering with each other."
Having decided to intervene in the struggle between the overlords, Chen Xuan immediately separated 2000 catties of spirit grain from his storage pouch and personally handed it to Bai Li, saying, "Give these cultivation resources to Chief Long Xia and tell him that there is no need to wait for the Nine Cities Spirit Grain to mature. Now let the clansmen cultivate with all their might using the resources."
Bai Li vaguely sensed the undercurrent of impending storm, so she obediently accepted the storage pouch, responded, and quickly turned back.
"Master, Bai Li will be back soon, please wait for me a little while."
Chen Xuan hovered in the void on his sword, watching Bai Li transform into a streak of black light and rush towards the clan hall in the core area at an extremely fast speed. Just by observing the speed at which Bai Li used her movement technique, it was clear that Bai Li's Swift Wind Dao had now entered the subtle level.
"Go back quickly."
As Bai Li completely disappeared into the clouds, Chen Xuan turned to look at the eastern direction of Ze Lin Hai and murmured, "Brother Jiang Ming, it's been a month. I wonder if your Jiang clan can still hold on against the three overlords."
