Tian Yuan

Chen Qingyuan came out of seclusion. He had no cultivation at all, had a few more strands of white hair on his head, and the wrinkles on his face had obviously increased. He looked like a dying dragon, majestic without even being angry.

When this news came out, the Qing Sect was greatly shocked, and many high-ranking officials came to greet them.

Chen Qingyuan responded with a smile to everyone's words of concern.

After talking for a few words, he asked everyone to go about their business and not to crowd together.

After seeing off these elders, before we had time to rest, someone else came to visit.

"master."

Outside the door, the old ox with transformed blood stood there, nervous and respectful, calling out softly.

"Enter."

Chen Qingyuan fell with a sound.

After getting the permission, the old ox trembled and stepped over the threshold and walked to the front yard. He lowered his head all the way and only dared to look around with the corner of his eyes.

Ever since he learned about the identity of his master, the old ox has become extremely nervous, fearing that he would be abandoned by his master if he did not do well.

"The little calf greets the master!"

The old ox stopped outside the ancient pavilion, knelt on the ground with its front feet and kowtowed.

In the pavilion in the front yard, Chen Qingyuan was drinking tea alone. He glanced at the old yellow cow walking over. Seeing the changes in its body, he was not surprised at all and said calmly, "Get up. Are you used to living in Qingzong?"

"It's a habit." The old ox stood up and nodded, "If it weren't for the master's kindness, I would never be here today."

"Okay, stop saying such polite words." Chen Qingyuan saw that the old ox was hiding something, and asked, "Besides paying respects, what else do you want this time?"

"There are some things I want to explain to the master."

The old ox said in a low voice.

"Speak." Chen Qingyuan's words showed his majesty and would not tolerate any disobedience.

"I went to the Beast Taming Sect before..."

After hesitating for a while, the old ox recounted his experience.

In short, he had taken a fancy to a young cow from the Beast Taming Sect and wanted to marry her. However, the old ox did not dare to act on his own and came to report this.

"The Beast Taming Sect is really willing to put aside their pride and treat even a fool like you with such courtesy."

Chen Qingyuan immediately understood the reason and chuckled.

"It's all thanks to the master."

Although the old ox is rather clumsy, it still knows some things.

"If you really like each other, there's nothing wrong with becoming Taoist partners." Chen Qingyuan murmured.

Hearing this, the old ox was overjoyed and kowtowed again: "Thank you, Master."

"You can make friends with the Beast Tamer Sect, but you have to know how to be careful."

Chen Qingyuan didn't want the Beast Taming Sect to use his name to cause trouble. Just normal interactions, let nature take its course.

"Yes, sir." The old ox remembered these words and asked his young master what they meant a few days later.

"Go down!"

Chen Qingyuan waved his hand lightly.

The old ox did not leave immediately. He hesitated and was hesitant to speak.

"What else?"

Seeing this, Chen Qingyuan cast a glance.

"Master, I have already gained spiritual enlightenment. Can I transform?"

The old ox bowed his head and asked.

"You fool, you're asking me about something as trivial as transformation?" Chen Qingyuan smiled helplessly and cursed, "You are so stupid, there is no hope for you."

"I am a mount. If I were to transform, I'm afraid my master wouldn't like it."

To put it bluntly, the old ox is very clear about his identity.

As a mount, it must maintain its original body and appearance, even if the master is not riding it.

"Idiot." Chen Qingyuan scolded with a smile: "I agree that you can transform."

"Thank you, Master."

Immediately, the old ox was overjoyed and kowtowed again, paying great attention to etiquette and not daring to act casually.

"get out!"

Chen Qingyuan said.

"As ordered."

The old ox was seen curled up into a ball, circulating its spiritual energy, pushing its huge body, and rolling away from this elegant courtyard along the white marble road.

"......" Chen Qingyuan couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene, muttering to himself: "He is stupid, and he knows how to flatter."

As soon as the old ox went out, Zhu Wulang came.

"Meet the Master."

Zhu Wulang strode in, bowed and spoke respectfully.

"Yeah." Chen Qingyuan nodded.

The master and the disciple chatted for a while and got along very well.

Half an hour later, Zhu Wulang bowed and took his leave.

It's finally quiet and I can calm down for a while.

This retreat was very fruitful.

Although the foundation was not repaired directly, there is hope.

The road ahead is still long.

"I need a few things, but I don't know if I can find them."

According to the guidance of the Liangyi Shangxuan Jing, Chen Qingyuan clarified the direction.

Repairing the foundation is not an easy task, and it always requires the help of external forces.

After gathering the four special treasures from heaven and earth, Chen Qingyuan can refine the materials into his body and rebuild his foundation.

After waiting for a few days, I prepared to go out.

Chen Qingyuan's cultivation is now completely wasted. It is too dangerous for him to go out alone, and he can't go far.

Therefore, we must find a suitable protector.

There are so many guest elders in Qing Sect, and they are all willing to follow Chen Qingyuan with just a word.

Chen Qingyuan already had a plan in mind.

He walked out of the courtyard and knocked on a fist-sized wind chime hanging on the wall near the entrance.

"Jingle Bell......"

The wind chimes made a clear sound that could be heard from far away.

After a few breaths, a crane emerged from the sea of ​​clouds, landed in front of Chen Qingyuan, and crawled on the ground.

The crane is huge enough to carry a person.

Dozens of cranes came from the sea of ​​clouds. They heard the bell and came quickly. However, they were overtaken by others and looked sad.

"Walk."

Chen Qingyuan stood on the back of the crane and said softly.

The crane let out a low cry, as if expressing joy and excitement, and then slowly stood up. A transparent mysterious light enveloped its entire body, ensuring that Chen Qingyuan would not be affected by the storm.

Then, the crane flapped its wings a few times, took off into the air, and carried Chen Qingyuan to his destination.

Soon, they arrived at a quiet and elegant place.

The mountains are towering and the clouds are thick.

There is a temple deep in the forest, appearing and disappearing.

Chen Qingyuan walked towards the temple and said loudly, "Please don't blame me for coming here uninvited, Brother Yan."

Sensing someone coming, and that it was Chen Qingyuan who had just come out of seclusion, the old chef immediately stopped meditating and suddenly opened his eyes and quickly appeared.

"Dear guest!" The old cook lived here and was a genuine quasi-emperor. Seeing Chen Qingyuan coming, he was very surprised and said in a surprised tone: "Please come in quickly."

Go out to greet the guests and serve tea to them.

The two of them sat in an elegant room. The old cook said a few polite words, then looked suspicious: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"I do have something to ask for." Chen Qingyuan said frankly: "I plan to travel around, but my health is too poor at the moment, so I want to invite fellow Taoists to come with me."

"I am willing to go with you, Your Excellency."

The old chef agreed without hesitation.

"We should still address each other as fellow Taoists as when we first met. There is no need for this."

Chen Qingyuan specially invited the old chef, thinking that he could taste all kinds of food along the way. Moreover, the old chef's strength was the best in the world, so there was no need to worry about safety unless a terrifying existence took action.
