Chapter 138 - 137: Tempt Him!

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment in the tent, Chen Xuan awakened from his cultivation.

Not far away, Ye Jincen was still as usual, comprehending the array.

Finding himself with nothing to do, he simply summoned the system.

[Divine Techniques: Evolution (Minor Completion), Miraculous Foot Technique (Minor Completion (3200/60000))]

[Cultivation Technique: Nine Revolutions Secret Technique (Consummate Realm (1100/100000)), Myriad Manifestation Skill (Third Layer (109/32000))]

[Skill Points: 29285]

"The gap is still too wide."

He sighed softly.

At the current speed, it would take at least another month to upgrade the Nine Revolutions Secret Technique (Consummate Realm).

He then put away the panel, got up, wanting to get some fresh air outside.

At this moment, Feng Zheng walked in, "Bai Ze wants us to go over, it seems urgent!"

"Let’s go!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Jincen ended her comprehension.

...

In Bai Ze’s main tent.

This time it wasn’t just the brothers, but also the commanders of the four armies of Jingzhou and a beautiful woman, who was none other than the Third Grade Spirit Cultivator Ji Keren, who had been setting up the Nine Dragons Formation all along.

At this time, Chen Xuan and the others also arrived in the tent.

Upon entering, they immediately noticed Ji Keren, truly a sight to behold.

Wearing a tight-fitting purple robe, perfectly outlining her graceful curves, her eyes crystal clear, and her brows long and elegant, subtly exuding her charm.

"Truly captivating!"

He clicked his tongue in his heart, compared to the women at home, she gave him the same feeling.

It seemed she sensed Chen Xuan’s gaze, but Ji Keren’s expression didn’t change, she merely glanced at him, being accustomed to such situations.

"Ye Jincen, how is your comprehension of the Nine Dragons Formation going?"

Bai Ze asked, they were all waiting for her, the Nine Dragons Formation had been set up, once she fully understood it, the formation could be activated.

"It’s ready."

Ye Jincen was sparing with words, remaining ice-cold, even in front of Bai Ze.

"Good!"

Bai Ze shouted, finally some good news after these days.

"Ji Keren, you and her will activate the formation tomorrow, await my command!"

"Yes, Marshal Bai!"

Ji Keren bent slightly, speaking respectfully.

Bai Ze then ordered each of the four commanderies of Jingzhou to attack a city gate, he and Bai Qi would lead the Imperial Army, ready to support at any time.

After all was arranged, Hongtu and others were visibly displeased, but at times like this, having opinions was useless.

Your Majesty had already issued the decree, they had no choice but to comply!

Otherwise, no one could bear the consequences.

The four left the tent first, carrying their dissatisfaction.

At this time, Ji Keren walked gracefully forward, smiling, "Miss Ye, let me take you to familiarize yourself with the Nine Dragons Formation, so it’s easier to activate it tomorrow!"

"Alright!"

Ye Jincen remained the same, even Chen Xuan felt weary for her, imagining what it would be like when a man finally claimed her, there would likely be silent exchanges even in bed.

No fun at all.

"Ah! It’s tough! Feel sorry for Ye Yilan for a moment!"

Just as he was about to follow the two women out, Bai Ze called him.

"Chen Xuan, let’s have a talk."

He halted his steps, turned to look at Bai Ze, then said to Ye Jincen, "You go ahead, I’ll catch up later!"

"Mm!"

She nodded slightly, "Be careful!"

Then she left the tent.

"Hmm?"

For a moment, Chen Xuan was dumbfounded, was this woman concerned about him?

He was quite taken aback, considering they hadn’t exchanged more than a handful of words these days, he never expected her to express concern for him.

He was indeed surprised.

He then turned around, looked at Bai Ze, and asked, "Lord Bai Ze, what do you wish to discuss?"

"It’s about the matter from before. Tomorrow when Tianshui County is attacked, you must take the opportunity to use the Miraculous Foot Technique to enter. You don’t need to do anything, just hide yourself."

This was a helpless move, they simply couldn’t enter Tianshui County now.

Only Chen Xuan, with his Miraculous Foot Technique, could sneak in silently.

"It’s too dangerous, Master instructed me before I left, that I can refuse dangerous tasks, isn’t that right, Lord Bai Ze?"

Chen Xuan asked meaningfully.

But to his surprise, Bai Ze’s expression didn’t change.

Instead, he calmly said, "Don’t rush to refuse, as long as you agree to enter Tianshui County, this..." He said, revealing a silver mask in his hand,

"This is called Silver Moon, crafted by the National Preceptor. Wearing it not only changes your appearance, but even your aura, no one below the First Grade can see through it!"

"A good item!"

Looking at the Silver Moon in his hand, Chen Xuan was indeed tempted.

The Miraculous Foot Technique, combined with this, was the perfect combination for robbery.

Unless a First Grade caught him, no one could deal with him, and if he reached Second Grade, he would truly be unstoppable.

However, even so, his expression remained unchanged, shaking his head, "It’s still too dangerous, you should be aware of how many Second Grades are in Tianshui County, I’m only Third Grade, I can’t risk it!"

"What if we add this?" At this moment, a purple pill appeared in Bai Qi’s hand, "This is the Purple Spirit Pill, which contains immense spiritual energy, and it’s purified. This pill was a grant from His Majesty back in the day. Is it enough with this?"

Whew—

A Yin Yue, a pill!

Two enormous temptations, just waiting for him to nod his head.

But the more it was like this, the less Chen Xuan dared to agree. A few days ago, they wanted to kill him, and now they’re using these two things to tempt him.

It’s not that he’s timid, it’s that it’s just too damn unusual.

It gave him a feeling like a weasel paying a New Year visit to a hen.

"I’ll think about it!"

Then, regardless of the two, he left the tent directly.

He really couldn’t stay any longer; he feared that he truly wouldn’t be able to resist the temptation.

Outside the tent,

Chen Xuan slightly sensed and immediately knew Ye Jincen’s location, then vanished from the spot.

"What a pity!"

Bai Ze felt a bit helpless; not moved by the Yin Yue and Purple Spirit Pill.

"Hmph! Underestimated this kid, but bro, this is..." Before Bai Qi could finish, he was interrupted.

"He doesn’t agree; I can’t help it. We’ve done what we needed to do!"

...

Arriving at the core of the Jiulong Formation.

"How did it go?" Ye Jincen immediately asked when she saw him.

"Nothing much, it’s still about that previous matter. They wanted me to sneak into Celestial Water Commandery, and even used a Purple Spirit Pill and a mask called Yin Yue to tempt me."

"Purple Spirit Pill?"

Before Ye Jincen could speak, Ji Keren exclaimed instead.

Seeing this beautiful woman’s exaggerated expression, her little mouth formed into an ’O’, really made him feel a bit out of place, with wild thoughts floating by, but he quickly discarded these dirty thoughts and asked, "What’s so special about this Purple Spirit Pill? Sister Ji, can you explain?"

"Oh, since you’ve called me sister, how can I not tell you?"

Ji Keren had a face full of charm. Chen Xuan originally thought Liu Rushi was already alluring enough, but compared to her, it was simply another level.

"What a foxy lady."

Though his mind cursed, his eyes couldn’t help but love; especially when she smiled, that purple fullness oscillated up and down.

But Ye Jincen glared at him viciously, though he ignored it.

He just looked, admired-looking!

Their expressions naturally didn’t escape Ji Keren’s eyes, but she didn’t mind and started explaining, "The Purple Spirit Pill is from the imperial palace, only two or three are produced each year. Its refining is extremely complex, and only those who have made great contributions will be granted it by His Majesty."

"The greatest benefit of this pill is the ability to quickly elevate your cultivation. Many who were stuck at the Third Grade stage broke through to the Second Grade after taking the Purple Spirit Pill!"

"Damn, that’s insane!"

At this moment, even Chen Xuan couldn’t help but curse.

Of course, he knew how hard it was to break through from Third Grade to Second Grade. Just a pill, yet it had such effects.

"Exactly, so you gave it up, making sister look at you differently; at least I’ve never seen a martial artist who could refuse a Purple Spirit Pill."

Ji Keren sized him up, very young!

Still a Third Grade master!

Unexpectedly, Youlan Mansion not only has a monster like Ye Jincen as a spirit cultivator but also a freak of a martial cultivator.

"Sister, don’t say that. Brother’s heart is bleeding right now." Chen Xuan looked very heartbroken.

But this was merely on the surface.

Now he was almost certain in his heart that the Bai Ze brothers absolutely had no good intentions.

Otherwise, knowing he wouldn’t agree, yet using these things to tempt him, they definitely had ulterior motives.

"Damn it, these two dogs, if there’s a chance, I’d certainly give them a good lesson!"

He cursed silently in his heart.

"Hehe..." Ji Keren laughed out loud upon seeing his look.

"Can we start now?"

Ye Jincen asked coldly, with a slight frown, she really disliked Ji Keren, from the bottom of her heart.

Uh...

"Alright, let’s start then." Ji Keren restrained her smile and went on to introduce the layout of the Jiulong Formation and some things to note.

And Chen Xuan just leaned against a pillar nearby, quietly watching the two.

The introduction took over three whole hours, showing how complex it was.

The Jiulong Formation not only specializes in slaughter but can also temporarily enhance the combat power of martial artists below the Second Grade, and even with the support of the formation, a Third Grade might challenge a Second Grade!

It’s simply insane.

But the craziest part isn’t this—it’s that the formation absorbs not only Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi but also requires the blood essence of martial artists.

And the source of this blood essence was those experts from the sects that the imperial court exterminated back in the day.

When Ji Keren mentioned this, for a moment, Chen Xuan felt every hair on his body stand on end, and his heart trembled!

Who created this formation? It’s simply a devil!

...

Back in the tent.

Ye Jincen looked at him, suddenly said, "Keep your distance from Ji Keren. She’s not a good person!"

"Hmm?"

Chen Xuan felt very strange, what does she mean by this?

Controlling him?

Really reaching far, not to mention he has no interest, even if he had, it wouldn’t be her place.

But Ye Jincen didn’t care what he thought, instead continued, "I’m speaking on behalf of Little Sister Yun!"
