Cultivating Immortality in a Family: I Prove Immortality Through the Chaotic Dao Realm

Chapter 207 Fairy Jing and Chi Qianliu

Before they knew it, the group arrived at a quiet little street, where Yinyuan Garden was located at the end of the street.

"Is this Qingluo Lane?" Chen Qian asked, his eyes sparkling. "It is indeed a good place."

Upon arriving at this place, Chen Qian immediately sensed something was amiss.

Although the spiritual energy in Qixia Lane is generally average, there is a faint gathering of spiritual energy at the end of this inconspicuous alley.

The lack of spiritual energy in Qixia Lane is due to the influence of the city's protective formation.

However, Chen Qian did not need Aka's monitoring to detect the anomaly here. He could see the gathering of spiritual energy in the void simply by using his divine eye technique.

As you walk to the end of the alley, a seemingly ordinary paulownia wood door stands quietly. Apart from a few strange and spirited vines hanging from the eaves, everything else looks unremarkable.

"Senior, Madam, this is the Hidden Garden. The owner, Fairy Jing, has a somewhat aloof personality, but the spiritual plants in the garden are of the highest quality."

Chen Lie introduced in a low voice, then bowed and stepped back, saying, "I will wait at the alley entrance. If you have any instructions, please call me at any time."

He knew that the shop owner didn't like being disturbed, so it was best not to bother him unless he was a customer.

Chen Qian nodded, exchanged a glance with Chen Yunxi, and gently pushed open the paulownia wood door.

The moment the door opened silently, a rich aroma, a blend of fresh grass and wood scents with a unique sweet fragrance, wafted out.

The scene before me was so strange and exquisite that it felt almost dreamlike.

The first thing that catches the eye is a huge glass mushroom umbrella that emits a soft, milky-white glow, formed by countless vines growing ingeniously to create a natural canopy.

Countless ethereal blue algae, resembling spores, floated two or three feet above the ground, rising and falling like solidified stardust, creating a dreamlike spectacle.

Beneath my feet lies a soft, thick, fluorescent lichen. With each step, a cyan halo ripples outwards, dissipating only after a few breaths.

All around, mirror ferns with smooth leaves cleverly refract light, dividing the space.

The gnarled and twisted banyan trees have grown into natural shelves, along with other unidentified spiritual plants bearing fruits of various shapes and sizes.

The entire layout appears to follow the natural growth of the spiritual plants, but in reality it is a carefully designed world that combines the characteristics of the formation and the spiritual plants themselves.

It is a work of nature, without any trace of artifice.

“Husband, this shop owner must be exceptionally skilled in both spiritual plants and formations,” Chen Yunxi whispered.

"Yes." Chen Qian nodded, agreeing with his wife's opinion.

The two admired the scenery and whispered to each other as they turned a corner and entered a courtyard.

In the center of the courtyard, a dark, deep meteorite stands out prominently.

Above, silvery-white vines meander and stretch like frozen star trails, with tiny, crystal-clear, teardrop-shaped flowers hanging from their ends, absorbing the halo of the glass mushroom umbrella and emitting a cool and mysterious stardust glow.

Chen Qian looked closely and realized that this was the Heavenly Star Vine he had been searching for all this time!
Just then, a smoky purple figure emerged from behind a golden bamboo whose leaves gleamed with a metallic sheen, silently stepping onto the fluorescent lichen—it was none other than the shop owner, Fairy Jing.

Her presence seemed to soften the light and shadow in this strange space.

The smoky purple gauze skirt was perfectly tailored, flowing like clouds as she walked, with the faint silver vine patterns on the hem swaying with her movements.

Her raven-black hair was loosely tied up, with a vibrant green vine hairpin inserted diagonally between it. The hairpin's tip, adorned with an ever-blooming nine-hearted begonia, exuded a faint, calming fragrance.

What is particularly eye-catching are her bare jade feet, with a string of translucent dewdrops tied around her ankles. With each step, the fluorescent lichen that her toes touched shimmered with an even brighter light, as if she had a unique resonance with this land.

Her face was exquisite and refined, her eyebrows and eyes were clear and cool like distant mountains shrouded in mist, but her lips were full and alluring like a ripe berry.

Its temperament is both calm and dynamic, blending seamlessly with the natural world.

Chen Yunxi, a woman of exceptional beauty and grace, couldn't help but secretly admire her beauty.

Fairy Jing's gaze swept over Chen Qian and Chen Yunxi, her cool eyes lingering briefly. Her attitude lacked the usual business-like enthusiasm; she simply nodded slightly, her voice as clear and calm as a spring in the forest: "Fellow Daoists, please feel free to look around."

Her gaze finally settled on Chen Yunxi's light gauze dress, her eyes filled with admiration. Clearly, Chen Yunxi's gentle and dignified beauty had also amazed her.

Clearly, she had no interest in Chen Qian's appearance as a burly, bearded man, and being a man himself.

Chen Qian suppressed his admiration, clasped his hands and smiled, "Greetings, Fairy Jing. I have heard that your garden has rare and precious spiritual plants, so I have come to inquire about one."

He got straight to the point, pointing to the silvery-white vines on the meteorite: "I wonder if the fairy would be willing to part with this Celestial Star Vine?"

With graceful steps, Fairy Jing walked to the meteorite, extended her slender fingers, and gently brushed over a small, hanging flower—a star tear orchid.

She looked up at Chen Qian, her cool eyes showing no emotion: "This vine is of excellent age and quality. However..."

She paused, "This vine and the Star Tear Orchid coexist on this meteorite, forming a cycle among them. If the vine is to be taken, the symbiotic system will be broken, and the Star Tear Orchid will also wither away, which is truly a pity."

Changing the subject, her tone remained calm: "If you want the vines, buy the flowers too. Five thousand seven hundred spirit stones, no bargaining."

Chen Qian was certain that the price wasn't cheap, but finding the resources was the key!

Besides, the Star Tear Orchid is a rare second-tier spiritual plant. Although he didn't know what it was used for, the fact that it wasn't available in the Destiny Wheel Realm made it worth buying.

“Alright! Fairy, you’re so generous. I’ll take this vine.” He readily agreed.

The transaction was completed, and Chen Qian handed over the storage bag containing spirit stones, which Jing Xianzi gently raised her hand to accept.

Chen Qian carefully put away the specially made jade box that sealed the Heavenly Star Vine and Star Tear Orchid. He did not take his leave immediately, but pondered for a moment before saying, "Fairy Jing, I have another matter to ask you."

"Please speak, esteemed guest." Fairy Jing was slightly surprised, but since Chen Qian had just spent a large sum of spirit stones at her place, she still had to give him some face.

"Does the fairy know Chi Qianliu?"

Fairy Jing paused almost imperceptibly in the hand holding the storage bag, and for the first time, her clear, cold eyes truly focused on Chen Qian's face, with a hint of inquiry.

"Why have you come here to inquire about Chi Qianliu? How did you obtain this information?"

Chen Qian met her gaze calmly and continued, "I was entrusted by someone. The person who entrusted me is named Tu Yuanfeng."

“Tu Yuanfeng…” Fairy Jing repeated the name in a low voice, a ripple passing through the depths of her cold eyes.

She didn't answer whether she knew Chi Qianliu, but pressed further, "Do you know the relationship between Tu Yuanfeng and Chi Qianliu?"

Chen Qian narrowed his eyes slightly, staring intently at Fairy Jing for a while before nodding and saying, "I know. Tu Yuanfeng is Chi Qianliu's godfather."

……

Wanling City, Douxuan Workshop.

Upon entering the territory of Douxuanfang, a wild, scorching wave of sound, mixed with the stench of blood, sweat, and frenzied shouts, immediately hits you!

The air was filled with a surge of spiritual energy, brimming with soaring fighting spirit and greedy desires.

The enormous Wanling Battle Arena, like a crouching primordial beast, stands tall in the center of the Battle Arena.

Countless dark array runes flowed across the black rock walls, radiating a powerful force of confinement and protection. The pavilions surrounding the arena stood in rows, and the hustle and bustle of the betting points, the medicinal smells of the healing points, the deep roars of the beasts in the training grounds, and the shouts of various taverns and teahouses formed a chaotic vortex.

Chen Qian and Chen Yunxi each paid ten spirit stones and entered the arena, where they were immediately engulfed by a huge sound wave.

This atmosphere made the gentle Chen Yunxi feel somewhat uncomfortable, and she frowned slightly.

Chen Qian gently squeezed his wife's hand, offering her silent support.

The oval-shaped arena was vast, with a hard stone platform in the center covered with claw marks and charred marks, and a dozen enormous black iron cages on it.

The surrounding area consisted of densely packed, upward-stretching viewing platforms for monks.

The air was filled with the smells of dust, blood, and burnt food.

At this moment, a fierce battle is taking place in three cages.

Blood splattered and flesh flew everywhere.

"Would you two like to place your bets? The match between 'Owl Wolf' and 'Red Fang' in cage number three of class A has just begun!" A Qi Refining stage servant enthusiastically handed over a formation plate, on which two lines of names of the opponents were clearly displayed on the light screen.

Chi Qianliu (Owl Wolf, Qi Refining Level 9) VS Yao Huan (Red Fang, Qi Refining Peak)
Chen Qian's gaze sharpened. Only after Jing Xianzi verified Chen Qian's information did she inform him of Chi Qianliu's whereabouts.

Yan Mingchi Qianliu was about to participate in the beast fighting battle, but when they arrived, the battle had already begun!

Chen Qian looked into the arena and saw a woman dressed in dark brown leather armor fighting side by side with two giant wolves in a black iron cage at least several hundred feet in size.

She moved with the agility of a female leopard, her tied-up black hair was soaked with sweat, and blood was seeping from three deep claw marks on her left arm that revealed the bone, but this did not affect the speed at which she made hand seals.

"Whirlwind Kill!" she shouted, stepping onto the Seven Star position. The giant wolf pounced diagonally at her command, spitting out wind blades!

"Sizzle—!"

The giant tiger opposite her had a bloody gash torn open under its ribs by the wind blades, but its tail lashed out at Chi Qianliu like a steel whip. She couldn't dodge in time, and her right arm, which was used to block, bent and deformed instantly!

Cheers and boos erupted from the audience, and the odds for her on the betting screen jumped to 1:3.7.

"The Wolf Owl's hand is broken! His cultivation was already somewhat weak, it seems the situation is not good! Red Fang is too powerful!"

A passionate voice was amplified by the sound amplification array, echoing throughout the arena with inflammatory energy, instantly igniting the stands.

"Red Fang! Red Fang!"

"Red Fang! Tear that little girl to shreds!"

"He's sure to win against Chiya!"

"Bullshit! Owl Wolf is on fire lately! I'm betting on Owl Wolf!"

The frenzied shouts and gamblers' arguments were deafening.

Chen Qian activated his Divine Eye Technique, his sharp gaze sweeping across the beast-fighting cage.

Chi Qianliu wore a cold metal mask that covered her mouth and nose, revealing only a pair of cold, sharp eyes like a hawk, as if shutting out all the noise from the outside world.

On either side of her stood a giant wolf, each over three zhang long and nearly two zhang tall, exuding a menacing aura that commanded respect.

One man and two wolves exude arrogance and sharpness, carrying a strong aura of bloodshed, showcasing a battle-hardened and invincible demeanor.

Opposite her stood a giant man nearly ten feet tall, shirtless, revealing a scarred chest. With each step he took, the ground seemed to tremble slightly.

The giant's spirit beast was a red-eyed tiger, its size comparable to two giant wolves. It let out a low roar, the sound waves like muffled thunder, making the hairs on the heads of the audience in the front row stand on end.

"You little wolf! I heard you've been making waves lately?" Chi Ya's voice was rough and loud, filled with undisguised mockery. "Since you've run into me today, you'd better kneel down and call me grandpa, or I'll leave you a whole corpse later, hahaha!"

The red-eyed tiger beside him roared in unison, its ferocious aura overwhelming him.

On the stands, the cultivators who supported Red Fang burst into loud laughter and cheers.

Chi Qianliu, hidden behind the mask, showed no reaction, as if the other party was just a noisy mass of air.

She merely tilted her head slightly, her icy gaze meeting the two giant wolves for a fleeting moment.

Without a word, the two wolves split up and attacked the giant from both sides.

"Hmph! Playing tricks!" A fierce glint flashed in Chi Ya's eyes, and he swung his large hand violently. "Chi Shan, crush her!"

"Roar—!" The Crimson-Eyed Tiger, like a moving hill, charged towards Chi Qianliu with an aura that could crush everything!

It also believed that its master could handle the two wolf cubs, and that it only needed to tear this small, thin female to pieces.

Faced with this overwhelming impact, Chi Qianliu did not retreat but advanced!

Her figure flickered, and she slid out along the ground like a ghost!

Her movements were incredibly fast, as if she had no bones, nimbly weaving through the raging air currents and flying debris.

At the same time, the two wolves pounced on the giant man from both sides. The giant wolf on the left clawed at the giant man's head, while the giant wolf on the right opened its mouth to bite at the giant man's waist!

"A mere trick!" Chi Ya shouted, and a huge bone shield suddenly appeared in his hand. He crouched down and completely covered his body.

He knew that his agility was far inferior to that of the giant wolf, so he only needed to play a solid defensive role.

Chishan will quickly deal with the little vixen, and then he will win.

Chi Qianliu narrowly dodged the attacks of the Crimson-Eyed Tiger, and a pair of strangely shaped curved blades, radiating a chilling, eerie light, appeared in his hands at some point.

"Shadow Blade!" she shouted, her figure blurring instantly, as if splitting into several afterimages. The curved blade in her hand drew a strange and deadly trajectory, slashing ruthlessly at the giant tiger's eyes, throat, and other vital points!

Unfortunately, the giant tiger was enormous and powerful. Its massive claws only protected its eyes, and any blows to the rest of its body only caused superficial wounds, not fatal ones.

This only enraged the giant tiger, making its attacks even faster.

However, Chi Qianliu's movements were so skillful that the giant tiger's attacks all missed their mark.

She hadn't learned any advanced footwork techniques; all her evasions relied on her extremely keen combat instincts.

Chi Qianliu is safe for now, but Chi Ya is in a terrible predicament.

Although his giant shield was formidable and his physical body was strong enough, he was attacked by the two giant wolves like a sandbag and quickly couldn't withstand it.

Seeing that the Crimson-Eyed Tiger's attack was ineffective, he had no choice but to recall it to save himself from danger.

Covered in blood from the shock of the giant wolf, Chi Ya was gradually losing his mind. Seeing the giant wolf had retreated to Chi Qianliu's side, he suddenly flipped over and mounted the tiger's back, roaring, "Chi Shan, release Tong Yan! Burn them to death!"

Upon hearing this, the Crimson-Eyed Tiger stood upright, its pupils glowing with intense red light. Two balls of crimson fire shot out from its pupils and flew straight towards the two giant wolves!
