Chen Dengming quickly mounted his Magic Artifact and soared away.
Chu Xun stood in place, watching Chen Dengming’s receding figure, suddenly feeling a suffocating pressure on his chest.
Did Daoist friend Chen really not notice that he had advanced to the sixth stage of Qi Cultivation?
Why wasn’t there a word of recognition or praise?
“Daoist friend Chen is stronger than me, he could see through my Spiritual Might and identify my strength, he must have noticed my breakthrough.”
Chu Xun pondered upon it.
Then, he had an epiphany.
Updat𝓮d fr𝙤m ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com.
Jealousy.
...
This Daoist friend Chen secluded himself for so long without making his own breakthrough, seeing him advance instead must have hurt his pride.
Feeling a bit jealous, he didn’t mention anything and left immediately.
“Daoist friend Chen really values face!
He’s just too proud and can’t see the strengths of others.
Sigh!”
With a shake of his head, Chu Xun’s mood improved significantly.
He started whistling, hands behind his back, and headed back to his room.
After exiting his closed-door cultivation a few days ago, he spent every day lingering at the gate in anticipation, hoping to surprise Chen Dengming.
Now that his goal was achieved to satisfaction, he felt content.
Suddenly, his steps slowed, his gaze landed on a figure who was sneaking around.
“Hey kid, what are you up to?”
The figure was obviously startled, instinctively turned around to flee, but stopped abruptly, and returned laughing awkwardly at Chu Xun.
“Fellow Cultivator, I’m here looking for someone, just now the person who was talking to you, his name is, Chen….”
Chu Xun expressed his surprise, “Chen Dengming?”
“Huh?”
The man’s face changed, only to laugh and say, “Seems like I’ve got the wrong person then, I am looking for someone called Chen Fei, he’s just a minor Loose Cultivator with little strength.
The person I just saw seemed to be at least at the sixth or seventh level of Qi Cultivation, right?”
“How could that be possible?”
Chu Xun scoffed.
Is being at the sixth or seventh level of Qi Cultivation belittling someone?
Is he underestimating himself or Brother Chen?
His face showed admiration, “Daoist friend Chen’s strength…”
Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly narrowed his eyes, looking doubtful, and stared at the man across from him.
“Kid, you’re so anxious, there’s something fishy about you, are you trying to trick me?”
“No!
There’s a misunderstanding!”
The young man across panicked and frantically shook his hand.
…
At the Ming family.
Chen Dengming grinned satisfactorily, picking up the recast Ice Spirit Sword, now a higher class Magic Artifact.
“Daoist friend Chen, this Ice Spirit Sword now wields even greater power after being reforged.
We’ve added many Geng Metals as ingredients and engraved it with formations of Gold Wind and sharpness.
It has become sharper and lighter, even with faster Escape Speed.
I hope you’re satisfied…”
A female disciple from the Ming family introduced the sword to him, while smiling.
“Satisfied, very satisfied.”
Chen Dengming couldn’t take his eyes off the newly forged Ice Spirit Sword.
The design of the sword remained the same but due to the addition of Geng Metal and higher class formations, the originally crystal clear blade now appeared full of golden patterns, making it quite dazzling.
Honestly, while the new design was attractive, it was too flamboyant for Chen Dengming’s liking.
However, considering the increased power of the Magic Artifact, this tiny flaw could be overlooked.
“And here we have the Poison Spider Heaven Net, a higher-level artifact.
Once it’s deployed, it can adjust its size according to your wish, reaching up to trapping an object within ten feet.
It can rapidly shrink on command, and the net also contains poison that can gradually paralyze your enemies, making it difficult for them to move.”
The female disciple of the Ming family took out another higher-level Magical Artifact, introducing it with a smile.
This was what Chen Dengming had exchanged for the body of the high-rank Qi Cultivating demonic spider.
It appeared as a small net, no larger than a palm, gleaming with Spiritual Light.
“Please thank that Artifact Refining master for me!”
Chen Dengming immediately received the Poison Spider Heaven Net with a smile, feeling absolutely ecstatic.
Along with the Light Reflecting Mirror, he now had three different types of high-level Magic Artifacts in his possession.
They were all very useful and well-suited to his current ninth level Qi Cultivation.
“Daoist friend Chen, you’re too kind.
It’s mutually beneficial.
As long as you’re satisfied.”
The female Ming disciple politely responded, then said, “Oh, right, Daoist friend Chen…
there was something I forgot to ask.
When you came here, did you happen to encounter a disciple from the Yingyue Sect looking for you?”
“Yingyue Sect disciple?”
Chen Dengming looked puzzled as if the name seemed familiar.
Just as he was trying to recall more about the sect, he suddenly remembered the origin of the sect, causing his heart to skip a beat.
However, he kept his confusion, shook his head, and laughed, “No, haven’t encountered anyone.”
“Oh…
no worries, you probably missed each other.”
The female disciple nodded and explained, “This Yingyue Sect disciple came to our Ming family as a guest two days ago, saying he wanted to find a Loose Cultivator called Chen.”
“In our Moonlight Market, there are many Loose Cultivators named Chen.
But the Yingyue Sect disciple said that the person he’s looking for is called Chen Dengming, and his strength is probably around the first or second stage of Qi Cultivation, and would not exceed the second stage.”
I seem to have heard that Daoist friend Chen, you’re also called Chen Dengming?
But your strength doesn’t match what he said, and we’ve explained that to him as well.
After that, he left, and it seems that he didn’t find you…”
“Oh?
Which Deng?
Which Ming?”
Chen Dengming laughed, his expression unchanged, “Nevermind, it’s an interesting thing nonetheless.
There are many people with the same name in this world, there are even people who impersonate or substitute names, but I don’t know any disciples from Yingyue Sect.”
“Of course, Daoist friend Chen, you won’t take long to establish foundation, and then you would not be any less noble than the disciples of the Sect.
This is just a trivial matter.
I explained it so as not to inconvenience you.”
“No problem, no problem!”
…
Half a tea’s time later, Chen Dengming bid a warm farewell to the female disciple of the Ming family.
After flying a long distance, his face turned gloomy.
A disciple of Yingyue sect!
The boy from the Nangong family!
It’s been almost two years, this kid was actually able to trace him from Yingyue Sect to Moonlight Market, which is incredible!
However, Chen Dengming learned that the head of the Ming family was once an executive of Yingyue Sect, who had attained the Foundation Establishment stage.
He had left the sect and established the Ming family and Moonlight Market only after he had lost hope of further progress.
As a result, the Ming family still had a close relationship with Yingyue Sect.
It was understandable that Nangong Yun could have found his way here by coincidence.
However, the fact that he was trying to locate him upon arrival was indeed…
At this point, his appearance had changed slightly since two years ago, with white hair growing on his temples and his strength being vastly different.
Maybe after asking around, Nangong Yun really did leave…
