Chapter 45 Big Deception

"My friend, you practice behind closed doors all day long. You are really diligent. No wonder you have achieved such a high level of cultivation at such a young age!"

Before Zheng Keyong even entered, hearty laughter could be heard.

"I didn't know Brother Zheng was coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person!" Chai Xin stood up and walked forward, bowing with a smile.

Zheng Keyong waved his hand and said, "My dear friend, what are you talking about? It is I who am bothering you! I am here to see if you are used to living here, and to inform you that a regular meeting will be held in Lihuo Palace in five days. Then one of my disciples will come to take you there."

"Thank you for your concern, brother. I am originally from the countryside. How can I not get used to your thoughtful care? As for the regular meeting in five days, I will not delay it."

The two parties sat down as host and guest, and Chai Xin ordered someone to serve tea.

"My dear brother, I see that your throne is extremely extraordinary. I wonder where you got it from?"

After another round of pretense, Zheng Keyong finally got to the point.

Chai Xin raised a barely perceptible smile and said casually, "This was left by my unknown master. I have not been able to fully understand what is so magical about it. Why, Brother Zheng, are you interested in my throne?"

Zheng Keyong smiled slightly and stopped beating around the bush: "Next month is the birthday of our sect's supreme leader, and I am looking for a birthday gift..."

He only said half of his words, but the implication was clear enough.

"This... this throne of mine is the only relic of my master. I'm afraid I can't give it away." Chai Xin spread his hands, a helpless look on his face.

When Zheng Keyong heard the word "relics", a look of relief flashed across his eyes, and he immediately said in a gentle voice: "If you are willing to give it up, I am willing to introduce you to the Grand Master as his last disciple."

"The Supreme Master is of high status. He is the current headmaster and my master. If you can become his disciple, we will be true brothers!"

He seemed to feel that the chips were not enough to impress Chai Xin, so he continued to make promises.

"If Brother Master abdicates in the future, and I am not very talented, then the position of Master will naturally fall to you! Why not exchange a mere chair for the foundation of the entire sect?"

Chai Xin didn't take it seriously at first, but the more he listened, the more shocked he became. He couldn't help but look at the unprepossessing Seventh Elder in front of him again.

My goodness, this old guy is really good at fooling people!
He has only been in the business for a few days, and he is already entrusting his foundation to someone else? If this were really a young man who had just come out of the mountain, wouldn't he be fooled by this guy?
Unfortunately, Chai Xinzhi was not here. Even if Zheng Keyong's words came from the bottom of his heart, he would never be moved.

What's more, although this old man seems sincere, every word and sentence he says is full of flaws.

Let's not talk about whether the Supreme Master is willing to accept Chai Xin as his last disciple. Just look at the current headmaster. How can a cultivator at the Taoist Palace level only have a lifespan of 300 years? How long will he have to wait before he abdicates?
Most importantly, how long has Chai Xin been here? He hasn't even met the people in the sect, and they are training him as a successor? Have they found out the details?

Looking around the world, let alone the monastic sects, even the inheritance of property in ordinary rich families would not be so hasty!
Chai Xin sighed secretly, he still underestimated the greed and shamelessness of these people.

Resisting the urge to spit a mouthful of tea onto Zheng Keyong's face, he showed a look of hesitation and confusion. In the other party's expectant gaze, he finally shook his head: "To be honest, the conditions you offered are extremely generous, and I shouldn't be ungrateful...but..."

"Just what?" Zheng Keyong finally frowned.

"But my master has been kind enough to teach me, and this kindness is greater than heaven. How can I use his legacy to exchange for my future?"

After saying this, Chai Xin sighed with pretended regret.

"Brother, you want to change this throne for your master's birthday. This is a great act of filial piety. If you put yourself in their shoes, how can I... Alas!"

Having said so much, Zheng Keyong naturally could no longer force him to be unfilial just for the sake of being filial.

Zheng Keyong was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and clasped his fists, saying, "My friend, you are truly a man who respects teachers and values ​​morality! In that case, I will not force you to do anything!"

Afterwards, he exchanged a few casual pleasantries and left.

"It seems that this old man is here on orders. I'm afraid there will be a bloody storm in five days."

Chai Xin was not really a fool, and of course he knew that his refusal had already angered the other party. But everyone had their own agenda, so it was not surprising that it turned out like this. "That's exactly what I want."

He needed a great battle to hone himself and clear the obstacles for entering the secret realm of the Taoist Palace.

But before that, one must first break through to the other shore realm and cultivate it to perfection.

"Three days is enough."

If Chai Xin had not strived to consolidate his foundation, repeatedly nourished his flesh and bones with the power of medicine, and repeatedly suppressed his cultivation, the four Yuanshen Pills he had taken one after another would have helped him break through to the other side realm long ago.

Now he is just one step away from success. Chai Xin can make a breakthrough at any time. It only takes a thought.

He sat cross-legged again, practicing the secret methods contained in the Taoist Scriptures, and finally began to impact the realm of the other shore.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye a night had passed. Not only did Chai Xin's aura not become stronger, but it became calmer, and finally returned to being completely ordinary.

Judging from his appearance, he doesn't even look like a monk, but just an ordinary person sitting there quietly.

It wasn't until the next morning, when the rising sun in the east jumped over the horizon, that things finally changed.

A majestic vitality burst out from Chai Xin, his entire body was covered in purple light, and thousands of purple air gushed out, almost condensing into substance!

"Cross the sea of ​​suffering and reach the other side!"

He slightly opened his thin lips, and his tongue blossomed.

The tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and a ray of light was like a sharp sword, piercing through the thick fog in the heart.

The section of the sky vein hanging above his sea of ​​suffering became increasingly thicker, emitting a crystal purple glow, like a bridge across the sea, leading to the endless unknown sky.

There seemed to be misty clouds above the sky, and vaguely a huge Taoist palace appeared.

Chai Xin knew in his heart that it was the legendary second largest secret realm in the human body - the Taoist Palace!
He did not stand up, but took out a Yuanshen Pill and put it into his mouth.

A warm current quickly spread to his limbs, bones, and internal organs. The powerful medicinal power helped him further consolidate his cultivation and move towards the perfection of the other side.

Chai Xin's breakthrough caused quite a stir, and many high-ranking officials of the Lihuo Sect were aware of it.

"That boy is indeed a genius. He has actually reached the other side! Wait for two days and give him one last chance... If he is willing to recognize the situation, I will accept him as my personal disciple."

"No matter how talented you are, you are only at the other shore level now. I can suppress you with just a flip of my hand."

"What kind of inheritance did he obtain that there was such a commotion when he broke through the realm?"

There are many different reactions.

Soon, the day of the regular meeting arrived.

Chai Xin finally came out of seclusion, still carrying the throne on his shoulders, and went to the main hall of the Lihuo Sect's main peak.

　My goodness, it seems I overestimated my abilities. There are more than fifty of them.

　　However, the promise still stands: two more chapters will be added for the top 20 in a category, and five more chapters will be added for the top 10.

　　There will be another chapter later, starting with the Lihuo Sect, before twelve o'clock.

　　Thank you for your support!
