After Chen Huawu and Chen Jie left, Chen Qun did not enter the practice again, but went directly to the courtyard of Chen Xiaolei and his wife.
Chen Qun came back this time just to reunite his family, because after he left this time, he really didn't know when he could come back again.
But fate is not as good as fate, and it is difficult for their family to reunite again. His eldest brother Chen Feng is stationed in Nanjing City, and his third brothers Chen Chong and Xiao Ling'er have long been arranged by Chen Huawu and Xiao Tianhe. He became the lord of a small city, and the two of them had a child.
Since the eldest brother and third brother are not here, Chen Qun himself has to spend more time with his parents to fulfill his filial piety.
Later, Chen Qun threw Jian Chen's copy of "Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Clan" and a flying sword of the highest grade magic weapon to Chen Jie, and ignored him.
For the next two months, Chen Qun stayed with his parents...
However, these two months are fleeting.
On this day, the outside of the Chen Mansion was even more lively. After Chen Qun said goodbye to his family, he took Chen Jie away with his sword in his eyes.
"Second uncle, where are we going?" Chen Jie asked, having wiped away his tears.
After hearing this, Chen Qun said to Chen Jie: "Let's go to the Sunset Mountains first, and then I will take you back to the Tiandao Sect in Central China to find you a powerful master."
"Second uncle, you are so powerful, can't you be my master?"
"Second uncle still has a lot of things to do, so I don't have that much time to teach you, but I will find you a very powerful master to teach you..."
The two of them chatted and flew like this. After half a day, they entered Maplewood Town next to the Sunset Mountains.
In terms of Chen Qun's cultivation level, it doesn't matter whether he eats or not, because he has already gone without food. But Chen Jie is still far away from the foundation-building stage and cannot achieve the goal of fasting at all. So Chen Qun took Chen Jie to a tavern in Fenglin Town.
In fact, this time Chen Jie caused quite a surprise to Chen Qun. In just two months, Chen Jie's cultivation actually reached the second level of Qi Refining. And even "The Secret of Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Clan" has made some considerable progress.
For this reason, Chen Qun even checked Chen Jie's spiritual roots again, but Chen Jie was indeed just an ordinary four-spiritual root monk.
Chen Qun couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked Chen Jie about the situation.
When Chen Qun heard Chen Jie's explanation, he was even more surprised and speechless. Apart from sleeping only four hours a day, Chen Jie spent the rest of his time practicing hard. Even the time spent on three meals together does not exceed half an hour.
Chen Qun saw in Chen Jie what it means to work hard to produce genius. He originally thought that he had worked hard enough, but compared with Chen Jie, it really was nothing.
Another thing that surprised Chen Qun was that his grandfather Chen Huawu actually gave Chen Jie a machine beast.
Of the five machine beasts that Chen Qun gave to Chen Huawu, one was given to Chen Xiaolei, one to Chen Feng, one to Chen Chong, and one to Chen Xiaoyun. These four were all within Chen Qun's expectation. Only this last one was given to Chen Jie, which made Chen Qun quite surprised.
From this point of view, Chen Huawu also has great expectations for Chen Jie.
While Chen Qun and Chen Jie were still eating, a voice interrupted them.
"My little friend's bones are amazing. You will become a great person in the future. I have a few unique secret books here at a reasonable price. Would you like some books?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw an old Taoist priest who was somewhat similar to the old Taoist priest Lin Ying, running towards Chen Jie in a lewd manner. In his hand, he also held a small cloth flag specially designed for charlatans, with the words "magical calculation" written on it.
However, Chen Jie is not as lacking in social experience as other young masters from aristocratic families. He has suffered many injustices since childhood. Although he is only fourteen years old, he is already very familiar with the deception and abduction in this world.
Chen Jie said directly to the old Taoist priest: "I don't need any unique secrets, you'd better find someone else!"
Just when Chen Jie stood up and wanted to chase people away, Chen Qun next to him said: "Mr., please sit down. If you don't mind, how about I treat you to a glass of thin wine?"
The old Taoist priest said: "This is very good. I happen to be hungry too."
After saying that, the old Taoist priest sat down directly, tore off a chicken leg without ceremony, and then put it in his mouth.
After Chen Jie saw it, he wanted to say something again, but was held down by Chen Qun.
When the old Taoist priest first appeared, Chen Qun discovered that he was strange. Although the old Taoist priest hid it well, Chen Qun saw through his cultivation at a glance.
This old Taoist priest actually possessed the cultivation level of the early stage of the Golden Elixir, so Chen Qun was very surprised.
Because in this western state region where spiritual power is lacking, not to mention the Golden Core Stage monks, even the Foundation Establishment Stage monks with a little bit of Taoism will not step into this area.
So, Chen Qun then asked: "I don't know what you call the old gentleman. How much does the peerless secret book that the old gentleman just mentioned cost? Can you let me take a look first?"
The old Taoist priest choked on the chicken, then took another sip of wine and said: "This poor Taoist's surname is Zhuge, and he is known as Mr. Wolong."
After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, he took out two more books from his arms with his greasy hands and handed them to Chen Qun, and then continued: "Twelve taels of gold per book, high quality and low price."
Chen Qun took the two books and glanced at them casually, then placed them directly on the table. Chen Jie next to him also took a few secret glances, and his face turned red with embarrassment.
Chen Qun also saw that the old Taoist priest came here deliberately to tease the two of them, but Chen Qun didn't know what the old Taoist priest's purpose was.
However, Chen Qun didn't get angry. He was actually a little surprised, how could a monk in the early stage of the Golden Elixir appear here for no reason.
Moreover, a dignified monk at the golden elixir stage was still idle there, teasing the two of them as "juniors at the qi refining stage."
Although Chen Qun could easily see through the true cultivation level of this old Taoist priest who was hiding his cultivation level, it would be too difficult for the old Taoist priest to see through Chen Qun's true cultivation level.
Although Chen Qun is only at the middle stage of Jindan cultivation, his spiritual consciousness is truly at the stage of Jindan Dzogchen. If you want to see through Chen Qun's true cultivation level at a glance, you must be a Yuanying stage monk or higher.
If you are just a monk in the early stage of the Golden Core, then don't even think about it. In the eyes of the old Taoist priests, Chen Qun and Chen Jie were two genuine monks in the Qi refining period.
Chen Qun is at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, and Chen Jie is at the second level of Qi Refining. For a monk at the Golden Core Stage, their current cultivation levels are simply not even ants.
Chen Qun was unwilling to expose the old Taoist priest's tricks until he understood his purpose. So Chen Qun slowly said to the old Taoist priest: "Ten taels of gold per book, the price is indeed fair, so you're welcome."
After that, Chen Qun threw twenty taels of gold directly to the old Taoist priest, and then put the two books away.
Chen Qun really wanted to see what kind of medicine this old Taoist priest was selling in his gourd.
After seeing Chen Qun put away these two books, Chen Jie next to him secretly muttered in his heart: "So the second uncle is so good at this."...
