Chapter 817 - 453: Suppression!

Returning to Prince Xuan’s Mansion.

Chen Xuan immediately began his experimentation.

He took out a jade bird pendant, and strands of spiritual power began to probe.

Numerous runes inscribed into the jade.

In just half an hour, tens of thousands of runes were completely inscribed.

Celestial Balance Array!

It’s an array recorded in the Myriad Manifestation Skill to conceal one’s aura.

The array’s most unique feature is its ability to absorb spiritual qi from nature to maintain its operation on its own.

"Still not enough."

Chen Xuan murmured, then began sensing the spatial barrier, analyzing it.

After a long time!

"So that’s how it is."

Subsequently, rules of space appeared, slowly merging into the jade bird pendant.

Three days later.

Chen Xuan exhaled a long breath, with a smile on his face, "It’s finally completed."

The spatial barrier seemed simple, but when it actually came to integrating it into the array, it wasn’t that easy.

He failed dozens of times before finally succeeding.

Chen Xuan looked at the silver stone on the table, emitting a faint silver glow.

Then he directly activated the Celestial Balance Array.

In an instant!

The array completely enveloped Chen Xuan, and the silver stone on the table returned to normal instantly.

"It’s done!"

Finally, Chen Xuan could breathe a sigh of relief.

Additionally, once the Celestial Balance Array was activated, the spiritual qi in the air began to flow into it autonomously.

"Truly amazing."

Chen Xuan sighed lightly.

In this way, just enveloping himself, the consumption wasn’t much.

After completing the array, he swiftly went to Jiuxian County to return the stone, and by the time he returned to Prince Xuan’s Mansion, it was already sunset.

In the main hall of Ning Garden, Ning Xin had already prepared a sumptuous dinner.

"Is my husband really coming out of seclusion today?"

Luan Ying asked Ning Xin.

"He sent a message earlier today."

Ning Xin replied.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have prepared so many of Chen Xuan’s favorite dishes.

"I’m back."

Chen Xuan’s figure appeared at the entrance of the hall, and when he saw the table full of his favorite dishes, he immediately swallowed down his saliva.

He approached Ning Xin, "Thank you for your effort."

Although now the women’s skills were not bad, it was generally her cutting short her cultivation every day to prepare all of this.

"It’s fine, but Xiaoqi hasn’t come back yet."

"At this time, he should have finished his cultivation."

Chen Xuan was a bit puzzled and then sent his spiritual power to Qiuyuan instantly.

Yao’Er sensed his spiritual power and then softly spoke, "He’s been here the past few days and is about to have a realm breakthrough."

"Okay, thank you, Miss Yao’Er."

Chen Xuan’s voice sounded in the room.

Then his spiritual power left.

Since he helped her remove the soul imprint last time, Yao’Er’s attitude towards him wasn’t as cold as before, although she still wasn’t smiling.

Ning Garden’s main hall.

"Let’s eat first, Xiaoqi will be with Miss Yao’Er for a few days, the Spirit Cultivator is about to have a breakthrough."

"So soon?"

Ning Xin was shocked; it wasn’t long since the last breakthrough, and this was Spirit Cultivation, not Martial Cultivation, which is more difficult.

Not only her, but the other women also shared the same sentiment.

"Firstly, Xiaoqi’s spirit cultivation talent is indeed strong, although not as great as Luan Ying, but still excellent."

This probably owes thanks to that Golden Dragon.

Otherwise, Xiaoqi’s spirit cultivation talent wouldn’t have become so strong as it is now.

"Secondly, don’t underestimate Yao’Er, the disciple of the National Preceptor, a master at the fifth rank, having grown up under the influence of the National Preceptor. In Great Yu, there are probably many stronger Spirit Cultivators, but few better at cultivation."

Hearing this, the women nodded slowly.

"Alright, let’s start eating."

Chen Xuan invited them, sitting down first and eating heartily.

Setting up the array over the past few days had indeed made him crave.

"Let’s eat."

Ning Xin looked at the women.

...

The next day.

At the East City Gate of Moran City.

Dozens of carriages were almost completely blocking the road.

"Hurry up and check!"

The City Guard leader shouted loudly, his tone impatient.

"Officer, we’re a legitimate trading caravan, these are all herbs collected from below."

A middle-aged man approached with a smile on his face.

Saying this, he inconspicuously slipped a stack of silver notes into the hands of the guard leader.

The leader only glanced with the corner of his eye, and upon seeing they were large denominations of one thousand taels each, his previously impatient face immediately broke into a smile, quickly pocketing the silver notes.

"Of course, it’s Huang’s Trading Company, well-known for being honest merchants."

The leader saw the flagpole with a yellow character on the convoy, instantly spouting nonsense.

"Yes, yes, the officer is right."

The middle-aged man laughed and agreed.

"Alright brothers, the inspection is just about done, let’s hurry, there are plenty of others waiting to enter the city!"

"All done, leader!"

"I’m done here too."

The leader opened his mouth, and these people instantly understood the implication, speaking up immediately.

Of course, smiles of satisfaction spread across their faces.

Getting through inspection this fast, it seemed the leader earned a lot this time, which meant they’d also get a share of the bounty.

As City Guards, enduring the elements, they earned only over ten taels of silver a month, what for?

Wasn’t it just for this extra profit!

No extra profit? Would they be fighting tooth and nail to be City Guards? Not likely!

Of course, these things were understood tacitly; both the Three Judicial Departments and Prince Xuan’s Mansion were aware. Everyone had to live, as long as it wasn’t excessive, they’d turn a blind eye.
