CHAPTER 295: POSSIBILITIES

[Xiaoxu, do you know what they are talking about?] Zhen Yuan questioned, but Shen Xu shook his head.

Although he didn’t read the book very carefully, he was certain that nothing out of the ordinary happened at this time in the original plot.

[This could be a plot deviation.] The double said and Zhen Yuan nodded while listening to the gossipmongers.

After eavesdropping for an incense stick, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu finally understood what was going on.

From what they gathered, the Tianxuan continent alchemy and other associations had issued instructions to their corresponding towers.

The instructions were a set of ten questions.

Anyone who could answer one question, regardless of their age, would be allowed to board the eight-towers teleportation formation.

[Ayuan, what do you make of this?]

[I don’t know.] Zhen Yuan shook his head, frowned and soon continued.

[Let’s go back. Maybe Feng Xue knows what’s going on.]

[Mmh.] Shen Xu nodded and took out his communication jade.

[I will also ask Dongfang Jing and Chen Yi.] He said.

Half an hour later, everyone returned to the inn, and they entered the space.

"Fenf Xue, what’s going on with the new instructions?" Shen Xu asked without wasting time.

"There are several possibilities." Feng Xue said and began explaining.

"One, an ancient ruin or secret realm has appeared in the Tianxuan continent. Maybe these questions are related to that ruin, and the Tianxuan continent cultivators are recruiting people to solve the ruin."

"Second, it may be related to the immortal realm."

"Immortal realm? How so?" Shen Xu asked with a confused expression.

"There are many forces in the immortal realm. However, there are only a handful that span the lower, middle, and upper immortal realm. The Feixian sect is one of them."

’Feixian sect.’ Shen Xu narrowed his eyes.

After ascending to the immortal realm, Xiao Weimin and his harem often encountered the Feixian sect.

This sect was founded by an ascended cultivator and was a haven for other ascended cultivators.

However, the sect wasn’t as innocent as it sounded.

"What of the Feixian sect?" Shen Xu asked.

"In fact, it’s not impossible for immortals to descend to the cultivation world. When that happens, they will often bring back a bunch of talented cultivators from the cultivation world. After arriving in the immortal realm, these people will add new blood to the Feixian sect and other forces."

"Could it be that an immortal has descended?" Li Wenqiang asked, and Feng Xue nodded.

"It’s possible." She said.

"What about the star of immortality?" Shen Xu asked.

"Ascending from the cultivation world to the immortal realm requires one to grasp their star of immortality. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t go to the immortal realm if you don’t grasp your star of immortality."

"I see." Shen Xu said.

"It’s also possible that a competition or war has broken out in the Tianxuan continent, forcing the main forces to recruit more talents."

Hearing this, Shen Xu sighed.

"The situation is too unclear." He complained.

"The circumstances are unclear, but the crux is the same." Zhen Yuan said and quickly continued.

"Even if we can answer the questions, do we dare to board the eight-towers teleportation formation?"

Zhen Yuan was sure the soul imprint wouldn’t stick to him.

However, he wasn’t sure about Shen Xu and the others.

If something went wrong, wouldn’t Shen Xu be under someone’s control for an unknown length of time?

"Xiaoxu..." Zhen Yuan started, but Shen Xu stopped him with a solemn expression.

"Don’t say it." He said.

Hearing this, the others looked at the two with curious expressions.

"Ayuan, we can hide in the space and let you board the teleportation formation alone. However, this plan is too risky and I don’t want to consider it for the time being."

Shen Xu was mostly worried that things would go wrong and Zhen Yuan would be injured.

If that happened, and without someone to assist him, Zhen Yuan would fall into a disadvantage because of his body’s natural resistance to ordinary pills.

"Let’s consider that plan after we exhaust other options."

"Okay." Zhen Yuan said, rubbing the double’s hair.

Over the next three days, the five walked around the Alchemy Tower City; sometimes buying and sometimes selling.

On this day, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan arrived at a miscellaneous goods store.

The store had shelves against all walls, and the shelves were filled with random things.

At a glance, most of the things looked like junk, but others were valuable resources.

[The shop fits the book description.] Shen Xu transmitted, and Zhen Yuan nodded.

[There is indeed a law pillar in this shop. It should be the chaos water.]

Hearing this, Shen Xu nodded and pulled Zhen Yuan towards the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was an old man.

At the moment, he was lying on a chair, looking a little decadent.

However, Shen Xu didn’t dare to underestimate him.

According to the original book, this old man was not only a mid-stage void refining realm cultivator, but he was also the younger brother of Martial Tower City’s lord.

Three hundred years ago, his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson went out for training and encountered a small monster tide.

Unfortunately, his son and daughter-in-law died in the tide while his grandson incurred a soul injury.

Since then, the old man travelled around the Tianqi continent searching for a cure and eventually settled in the Alchemy Tower City.

He planned to exchange all his treasures for a level seven soul-weaving pill.

However, there were only two level seven alchemists on the Tianqi continent, and soul-related spirit grasses were incredibly rare.

Because of this, he waited for three hundred years and never got a soul-weaving pill.

Seeing someone enter his shop, the old man looked over, but he wasn’t hopeful.

"Is it true we can exchange a soul weaving pill for everything in your shop?" Shen Xu asked in a polite voice.

However, his hands were itching because he had already seen the bottle containing the chaos water.
