Chaos Dao Sheng Jue

Chapter 1299 Star Core

Lu Chen took a deep breath and carefully opened the quaint box.

However, when Lu Chen saw clearly what was inside, even with his rock-hard character, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Because there was a fist-sized, ink-black ore lying quietly in the box. It looked ordinary, as if it was just an ordinary stone.

Immortal Yongle, who had been keeping an eye on the box, immediately showed an incredible expression upon seeing this. He said in disappointment, "Why is it just a piece of ore? I thought it was some incredible treasure."

Seeing this, True Man Qingxu smiled and comforted him, "Lu Chen, you don't have to be disappointed. Since this piece of ore can be placed in this position, it might be some kind of heaven-defying refining material. We just don't recognize it."

Hearing this, Lu Chen nodded slightly. He was also very confused, but years of practice experience told him that the value of things cannot be judged solely by appearance.

So, he took the ore in his hand without hesitation and began to activate the Chaos Dao Sheng Jue in his body. He was ready to use its powerful analytical function to see what kind of treasure this ore was.

The Chaos Dao Sheng Jue did not disappoint Lu Chen. As the technique was running, all the information about the ore appeared in Lu Chen's mind in the next second.

It turns out that this ore is called star core, which was obtained by powerful monks after refining the planet.

A planet can only refine a star core the size of a mung bean, and this material belongs to the ninth-level holy grade refining material.

The core of a star contains enormous energy and can greatly enhance the power of magic weapons. It is a rare treasure that many cultivators can't even dream of.

At this time, Lu Chen opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he thought: "The Great Sword God Slayer hasn't been upgraded for a long time, and it's just right to use this star core to improve its quality."

Thinking of this, Lu Chen suppressed his inner excitement and pretended to regretfully put the star core into the golden bead world.

At this moment, I heard a sound of people blaming each other.

After collecting all the treasures, Immortal Yongle suddenly did something that Lu Chen did not expect.

He handed all the treasures he had collected to Qingxu Zhenren and said, "I have decided to give all these treasures to you, Taoist friend. Please accept them.

If it weren't for that fellow Taoist's help, I would have been dead long ago. These treasures are precious, but they are not as valuable as a life. So please accept my gift."

Upon hearing this, Master Qingxu was taken aback, then frowned and quickly declined, saying, "No, no, senior, you are wrong. You contributed a map during this expedition.

These treasures should belong to you. Besides, how can we change the original agreement of half for each of us?"

However, Immortal Yongle remained unmoved and continued, "You are welcome, fellow Daoist. You have given me a new life. This small gesture is just a token of friendship. Please do not refuse."

The two of them fought back and forth, neither of them giving in, which shocked Lu Chen who was watching from the side.

He remembered that the previous Immortal Yongle was a guy who was not merciful at all, but now he has become so magnanimous.

"Please listen to me, both of you," Lu Chen couldn't help but interrupt, "It's no use pushing the issue back and forth like this. How about listening to me?"

Hearing Lu Chen speak, Immortal Yongle and True Man Qingxu both stopped and turned their eyes to him.

“Master, since Brother Qian is willing to give up these treasures to make friends, you don’t have to refuse anymore,” Lu Chen persuaded.

"But..." After hearing this, Master Qingxu still felt something was wrong. He was about to say something, but was interrupted by Qian Yongle again:

"Don't worry, just take this storage ring. You'll need it for your cultivation in the future. I have plenty of these things."

After hearing what Immortal Yongle said, True Person Qingxu sighed and said, "Since senior is so insistent, I would like to thank you." After that, she took the storage ring and put it away carefully.

Seeing this scene, Yongle Immortal Venerable smiled slightly, turned to Lu Chen and said: "It is a great honor to meet you two today. Although there were some misunderstandings at the beginning, we are still friends after all."

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person, and Lu Chen didn't dislike what Yongle Immortal Venerable did, so he took the initiative to introduce himself.

After a brief self-introduction, Yongle Immortal Venerable secretly rejoiced at his decision and invited Lu Chen to visit him.

Although Lu Chen still had to go back to Xingluo City to inquire about the news, he still rejected the repeated invitations of Yongle Immortal Venerable.

Then, the three of them left the ruins cave while chatting and laughing, and then each flew towards Xingluo City...

Night slowly fell in Xingluo City. Inside a private room in an unremarkable Xianxi Building,

Lu Chen had just settled True Man Qingxu down and was ready to leave.

"Master, I live next door. If you need anything, you can call me at any time. Then you should go to bed early. I won't disturb you." Lu Chen said respectfully.

However, just as Lu Chen was about to step out of the door, the voice of Qingxu Zhenren came from behind him, "Lu Chen."

Lu Chen was slightly stunned, turned around, and his eyes revealed confusion, "Master, do you have any other instructions?"

Master Qingxu smiled gently, a gentle light glittering in his eyes. "Thank you for your meticulous care of me. I want to ask you a question - do you still remember my name?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen nodded and replied, "Of course I remember, your name is Zhou Mengxi."

Upon hearing this answer, Qingxu Zhenren's eyes lit up, with a hint of expectation and sincerity in her eyes, "In that case, I hope that from now on, you can call me by my name - Mengxi."

Lu Chen looked at her in surprise. He didn't expect her to make such a request.

For a moment, Lu Chen didn't know how to answer. He was not stupid, so he naturally felt that Master Qingxu's attitude towards him was very different recently.

She seemed to have fallen in love with me, and the only thing missing was a break in the window paper.

The reason why Lu Chen did not take any action was because everything happened a little suddenly and he had not yet adapted to it mentally, otherwise he would have knocked her down long ago.

But soon, Lu Chen regained his composure, and said with an awkward smile: "This...this is not appropriate."

"Why is it inappropriate? We are all practitioners, pursuing the simplicity of the great way and doing what we want. Since we have feelings in our hearts, why should we stick to worldly views and rules?" Master Qingxu argued.

Hearing such a straightforward hint, Lu Chen's heart moved, but he was a little hesitant.

"But..." Lu Chen tried to find the right words to express his concerns, "You and I have different identities, and..."

Before Lu Chen could finish his words, Qingxu Zhenren suddenly threw himself into Lu Chen's arms, holding his waist tightly with both hands, as if he was afraid that Lu Chen would break free and lose the most precious thing...
