Chu Xuan nodded with a smile.
Liu Zhenxiong enthusiastically introduced, "Junior Brother, this is Zheng Changqing, a top disciple under Senior Zhao Wuya."
"He is well-versed in the art of beast control and has several Foundation Establishnt spirit pets."
Zheng Changqing chuckled lightly, "Friend, you flatter . I'm just interested in raising demonic beasts."
He looked at Chu Xuan, "So, you are Chu Xuan? A pleasure to et you."
"I've heard about you from Friend Liu. To reach Foundation Establishnt in your early twenties is truly remarkable!"
Chu Xuan just smiled, "Senior Brother overpraises . It was just luck."
Zheng Changqing smiled, "Our masters are old acquaintances. We should help each other more."
The three entered Liu Zhenxiong's cave dwelling and sat down, with most of the conversation between Liu Zhenxiong and Zheng Changqing, while Chu Xuan chatted casually.
After a while, Zheng Changqing said, "My junior brother is also coming."
Liu Zhenxiong looked excited, "Lü Yin, Friend Lü?"
"I wanted to et him last ti, but he never ca."
"Why is he coming this ti?"
Zheng Changqing smiled wryly, "Junior Brother Lü... has a rather peculiar personality. I had to persuade him multiple tis to co."
"If Junior Brother Lü says anything offensive later, I hope you both can forgive him."
Both Liu Zhenxiong and Chu Xuan nodded.
Cultivators having so quirks is normal.
Especially those who imrse themselves in research, often in seclusion for years or decades, their temperant inevitably changes.
Not long after, a voice sounded from outside.
"I'm here."
Liu Zhenxiong led the two out to greet him.
Chu Xuan saw the person.
Thin and gaunt, with deep-set eyes and a haggard face.
Liu Zhenxiong was extrely enthusiastic, "Friend Lü, I am Liu Zhenxiong of the Extre Yin Cave, a pleasure to et you."
Lü Yin glanced at him and just nodded slightly.
Then he imdiately looked at Zheng Changqing, "Senior Brother, I'm here, let's go inside."
Zheng Changqing smiled awkwardly, "Alright, let's sit inside."
The four sat down.
Liu Zhenxiong lowered his voice to inquire, "Friend Lü, do you have any Second Transformation Gu for sale?"
Lü Yin glanced at him sideways, "Friend Liu, Second Transformation Gu requires flesh organs. If you don't have them, it's best not to buy the Second Transformation Gu."
Liu Zhenxiong smiled, "Even if I don't have the organs yet, there's no harm in asking the price."
Lü Yin said calmly, "At least twelve hundred small spirit stones."
Liu Zhenxiong's smile froze instantly.
That price was too high.
Chu Xuan glanced at Lü Yin a few more tis.
Although the appearance was different.
But combining it with Lü Yin's tone earlier.
He roughly guessed the person's identity.
It was the Spirit Bug Daoist he saw at the naless market teahouse that day.
Their deanor was too similar.
Both made people uncomfortable.
Zheng Changqing said in a deep voice, "Junior Brother Lü, Friend Liu's master is Senior Wan Wuying, an old acquaintance of our master."
"In the future, we will surely need to support each other. Can't you lower the price a bit?"
Lü Yin seed a bit impatient but nodded, "Then a thousand spirit stones, no lower."
Liu Zhenxiong and Lü Yin's bargaining never reached an agreent.
In the end, Lü Yin, tired of talking, left early.
Zheng Changqing apologized to Liu Zhenxiong and had to leave as well.
After they left, Liu Zhenxiong frowned and sighed.
"Senior Brother, is this Lü Yin very skilled?" Chu Xuan asked.
Liu Zhenxiong said in a deep voice, "I've inquired, there aren't many Foundation Establishnt cultivators secretly raising Gu in Tianyin Gate, and this Lü Yin is recognized as the most skilled in Gu cultivation."
"The Gu insects he cultivates are powerful and relatively ta."
"Last ti I couldn't invite him, and this ti, even though he ca, we still couldn't reach a deal."
Liu Zhenxiong sighed, "Our Extre Yin Cave lineage has lost much of the Gu cultivation heritage, leaving only the Blood Insect Book."
"To enhance our strength, we have to look to others."
"The best person to approach in Gu cultivation is Lü Yin, but who knew he would be like this, not giving us any concessions."
Chu Xuan listened, deep in thought.
Enhance strength?
Could it be that the Extre Yin Cave lineage is also getting involved in the war?
That's not good news.
The war between Tianyin Gate and the native sects of Wuzhou is at a stalemate.
Cultivators joining the war now, except for those at the late Foundation Establishnt stage, have no guarantee of survival.
It's like a at grinder here.
It will grind all living beings to dust!
Sure enough.
After a few questions, Liu Zhenxiong explained the situation.
"...Senior Zhao Wuya, along with our master and Senior Huang Yuanwu of Tianyin Gate, broke into the Purple Underworld Mountain secret realm in Wuzhou and took the treasures there."
"The native sects have beco unusually aggressive recently, related to the treasure being taken."
"Therefore, the main hall of Tianyin Gate sent word for our Extre Yin Cave lineage to join the war."
Liu Zhenxiong smiled bitterly.
Chu Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
He is currently only at the fourth layer of Foundation Establishnt, though he has many trump cards, he can certainly suppress the fifth layer.
But if he faces a late Foundation Establishnt expert.
The result would still be a crushing defeat or even death.
Once the Extre Yin Cave lineage joins the war, his chances of dying will greatly increase.
"If it really doesn't work, I'll go to Ocean Blue Star to avoid it."
"When I cultivate the Blood Fiend Demon Refining Manual to the seventh layer on Ocean Blue Star and reach the late Foundation Establishnt stage, I can return."
Chu Xuan thought to himself.
His greatest trump card is his ability to traverse between worlds through the Blood Mirror.
If things don't work out here, he can just go to Ocean Blue Star.
"...Junior Brother, that's the situation now."
"That's why I'm doing my best to enhance my strength."
"Senior Brother Li and Senior Brother Wu are also out there, trying to improve themselves."
Liu Zhenxiong looked at Chu Xuan, "You should also put in more effort to strengthen yourself."
Chu Xuan nodded.
Liu Zhenxiong suddenly rembered sothing and quickly said, "You can try your luck at the naless market. Recently, a mysterious person has been selling many large Blood Pearls."
Chu Xuan felt amused inside.
Mysterious person?
Isn't that ?
But he didn't show any sign of it and nodded seriously.
"By the way, Master recently accepted a new disciple, a descendant of a cultivation family from northern Wuzhou, originally from Yuling Mountain's territory."
"His family, the Chen family, committed a cri and was exterminated by Yuling Mountain. He escaped and fled here, joining our Extre Yin Cave."
"His na is Chen Zhaofeng, and his talent is excellent, comparable to Senior Brother Li."
Liu Zhenxiong continued.
"His cave dwelling is southeast of mine, in a valley."
"When you have ti, you should et him. Soon, we'll be joining this war, and having more friends ans more help."
Chu Xuan nodded, "Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother."
The Foundation Establishnt cultivators of the Extre Yin Cave lineage should indeed et.
However, since he plans to avoid this at grinder-like war, there's no need to interact much with Chen Zhaofeng.
After leaving Liu Zhenxiong's cave dwelling, Chu Xuan headed towards Chen Zhaofeng's cave dwelling.
However, finding no one there, Chu Xuan left a ssage expressing his intention to visit and said nothing more.
