Chapter 827 Wanxiang City

The Celestial Master Wuxiang said to Chen Guan, "Now you have two choices. One is to become my disciple and stay in the Wuxiang Divine Palace to cultivate. I can provide you with resources so that you can reach the ninth level of enlightenment within a hundred years, or even the peak of the ninth level of enlightenment. The other option is that you can choose not to become my disciple and can still stay in the Wuxiang Divine Palace. I will protect you, but if you need resources, you will have to seek them out yourself."

"If I choose one, what do I need to give up?" Chen Guan asked directly.

Upon hearing this, the Celestial Master Wuxiang smiled and said, "It's easy to communicate with humans. If you become my disciple, I don't have any other requirements, but there is one thing you need to remember: no matter what, you must not leave the area of ​​the Wuxiang Divine Palace without my order."

"I am already very content to have the Celestial Master's protection," Chen Guan said, bowing in gratitude.

The Celestial Master Wuxiang was slightly surprised and looked at Chen Guan, saying, "Do you know that Wuxiang Palace is located in one of the most powerful areas of secret spirits? Hunting and mining are not allowed within the area of ​​Wuxiang Palace; and outside Wuxiang Palace, there are terrifying secret spirits of the ninth sense everywhere. With your current level, if you do not have the resources to raise your level first, it will be very difficult to advance in the future."

"If I understand correctly, if I become your disciple, I won't be able to return to Shenzhou, right?" Chen Guan said.

"So there are still people or things in the Divine Land that are very important to you?" Master Wuxiang seemed to understand.

Chen Guan nodded: "I still hope to have the opportunity to return to China again."

"In that case, you should stay in Wanxiang City for now." The Celestial Master Wuxiang said nothing more and had the celestial soldiers take Chen Guan to his residence.

If one is a direct disciple of the Celestial Master, one can live in the Wuxiang Divine Palace.

However, since Chen Guan has not yet become a disciple of the Celestial Master, he can only live in the city at the foot of the mountain.

Most of the spirits living here are those who wished to become disciples of the Celestial Master, but were unable to do so for various reasons.

The houses here are all very well built. Chen Guan lives in a small, detached building. Although it is not big, it has all the necessary amenities.

He didn't become a disciple, yet Master Wuxiang still arranged such a place for him to stay, which can be considered as doing his utmost to be kind and righteous.

Chen Guan did not ask Master Wuxiang why he had to stay in Wuxiang Divine Palace after becoming a disciple and could not go anywhere else, nor did he think of breaking the agreement and secretly running away after becoming a disciple.

If you agree to something like Master Wuxiang's promise, you're unlikely to have a good outcome if you don't keep your word.

As Chen Guan was pondering, Xiao Bai emerged from his clothes and transformed into a large question mark in the air.

Chen Guan understood what he meant and knew that Xiao Bai was asking him why he didn't become an apprentice when he had the opportunity.

Chen Guan patiently explained to Xiaobai, "Before, I thought the Wuxiang Celestial Master was a mysterious spirit, so it didn't matter if I became his disciple. But now that I know the Wuxiang Celestial Master is a human, I can't just become his disciple casually."

The question mark formed by Xiaobai expanded slightly, then quickly contracted back, as if asking why.

"This is a complicated issue, and I can't explain it to you in a short time. Anyway, don't worry, even if I can't become your apprentice, I will find a way to get the Mountain Moving Token and rescue your master." Chen Guan had no choice but to reassure Xiaobai first.

Little White wasn't so easily fooled; the question mark he created grew much larger and didn't shrink back this time.

“This little white thing is stubborn. If I don’t give it a convincing reason, it’ll be hard to keep it obedient.” Chen Guan thought for a moment and said to the little white thing, “You heard it just now. The Celestial Master and I are both human. He accepts the Mystic Spirits as disciples without conditions, but he does accept me as a disciple with conditions. Do you know why?”

The question mark that Xiaobai represented shrank a bit, clearly indicating that it didn't know either.

"Because humans understand humans, even though it's our first meeting, I've already discovered a secret of the Formless Celestial Master. He doesn't want me to spread this secret, so he made a condition that I cannot leave the Formless Divine Palace." The question mark that Little White had transformed into grew bigger and smaller wildly. It really wanted to know what this secret was. It seems that even secret spirits are quite gossipy, at least Little White is a very gossipy secret spirit.

"I can't tell you this secret. The Celestial Master hasn't harmed me yet because he still believes I won't reveal the secret. If I do, he probably won't let us off the hook. How am I supposed to use the Mountain-Moving Token to save your master then?"

Chen Guan continued, "Don't worry, even if I don't succeed in becoming your apprentice, I will definitely find a way to get the Mountain-Moving Token to save your master."

Although Xiaobai was skeptical, she had no choice but to believe Chen Guan for the time being.

Chen Guan needed to first understand the situation in the city, figure out the rules for survival here, and what he could and could not do.

The city at the foot of the sacred mountain is called Wanxiang City.

Aside from following the rules of the Wuxiang Divine Palace, there's nothing else particularly chaotic here.

It's generally safe here; no mystics will attack humans, at least not unless you provoke them.

Safety is relatively guaranteed, but for this reason, it is impossible to obtain Mystic Spirit resources in Wanxiang City.

Not to mention Wanxiang City, the entire area of ​​Wuxiang Divine Palace can be considered a no-hunting zone. If you want to hunt secret spirits, you have to leave the area of ​​Wuxiang Divine Palace.

However, even without hunting spirits, there are ways to obtain resources.

Within Wanxiang City, there are monthly competitions held by the Wuxiang Divine Palace at fixed times. If you can achieve a ranking in the competition, you can also receive some prizes set up by the Wuxiang Divine Palace.

The top ten can all receive very considerable resources, and the second place in each competition, in addition to receiving resource rewards, will also have an extra opportunity to enter the Nine Heavens to tame the Heavenly Clouds.

"This is an unexpected surprise." Chen Guan had been thinking about how he could get a Heavenly Cloud pet in the Nine Heavens if he didn't become an apprentice, but the opportunity came right away.

The competitions held by the Wuxiang Divine Palace are divided into levels. He can participate in the Seventh Awakening level competition, and getting second place should not be difficult.

Of course, Chen Guan did not intend to participate himself.

Even if a spirit only has seven senses, it is not an ordinary spirit that can come to Wanxiang City. Who knows what kind of strange abilities it has?

Chen Guan wouldn't risk fighting himself; it wouldn't be good if he were to capsize unexpectedly.

Chen Guan plans to send his pet to the competition to see if it can come back with second place.

As for the extra reward for the first place winner, it is an opportunity for the Wuxiang Celestial Master to impart his skills and preach the Dao in private.

It is said that every time a Mystic Spirit receives individual instruction from the Celestial Master, its strength will greatly improve. Many Mystic Spirits stay in Wanxiang City, fighting tooth and nail for this opportunity.

Chen Guan had some suspicions about the Myriad Manifestations Celestial Master, but he would not get involved in these matters until the chain of evidence was complete or confirmed.
