Chapter 129 The world is big, I want to go out for a walk

After Xu Chen started cultivating with Shangguan Zhuo, the Shangguan Zhuo couple, who didn't have children yet, were quite fond of this filial and sensible child. They patiently taught him various aspects of cultivation.

He possessed the Myriad Thunder Body, which was more suitable for thunder-attribute Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills.

Originally, Shangguan Zhuo wanted to help him find suitable ones, but Yu Shufei had already found some at the Wanbao Pavilion and sent them over.

Every so often, Xu Qingzhou would give Xu Chen some resources. With his treasure-finding divine skill, Qi Observation Technique, giving him some starting funds meant he could become rich by just wandering around the city a few times.

Places like auction houses and roadside stalls were his Blessed Lands.

Perhaps one day he'd buy a ring at a roadside stall, and inside it would be the remnant soul of an old Grandpa.

Or perhaps one day he'd buy an inconspicuous Magic Treasure at an auction, and it would turn out to be an Immortal Artifact.

Xu Qingzhou continued living his laid-back life.

Every few days, he would spar with Kong Lao for a while to hone his Martial Skills and gain some combat experience, ensuring he had at least some fighting power.

Of course, the main thing was still eating, drinking, and having fun. If you're going to be laid-back, you have to look the part.

Currently, throughout the entire Xu Family, Xu Qingzhou was the most relaxed.

Since being assassinated once during the wedding, he hadn't suffered a second assassination, possibly because Xu Qingzhou had been staying home, making it difficult for the assassins to find a suitable opportunity.

And so, two years passed in the blink of an eye.

Xu Muge and Xu Luo, who had gone to the Great Xia Dynasty, had broken through to the mid-stage Purple Mansion.

Xu Qingzhou also consequently broke through to the mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm.

However, Xu Qingzhou had already used Xu Luo's Secret Technique to Seal his Realm.

It was fine for his Realm to improve quickly, but it shouldn't be too fast.

Once enemies sensed a greater threat from him, they might try to eliminate him regardless of the consequences.

So, it was better to keep a low profile. Once he and the Xu Family had sufficient strength, he wouldn't need to have any reservations.

The Bandit Suppression Squad, under Xu Yan's leadership, continued to grow stronger.

Steady King Xu Chu had started researching Formations and Talismans again. With his longevity, he was bound to become an all-around King sooner or later.

The fourth Heavenly Chosen, Xu Chen, had reached the early-stage Drawing Spirit after two years of cultivation, not as fierce as the first two.

After all, Xu Muge and Xu Luo had already reached the Xuan Dan Realm after two years of cultivation.

Their speed, not to mention within the Three Great Dynasties, was rare even in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Moreover, they had achieved this while being steady and solid, consolidating their Realms thoroughly.

Xu Chen was merely a top-tier Spiritual Body; even a Saint Body couldn't keep up with them.

In two years, with the help of Wanbao Pavilion, the Xu Family Zui Xian Restaurant had opened branches in cities of all sizes within Huai Dong County and Liangbei County, completing the first phase of its expansion plan.

The second phase of the expansion plan targeted the entire Great Qi Dynasty.

However, Xu Qingzhou felt that the current strength and manpower of the Xu Family were limited, so it was better to temporarily slow down and develop further.

Opening stores, like cultivation, required being steady and solid. Rushing too fiercely could lead to unstable Foundations, making it difficult to salvage problems once they arose and affecting the core business.

The number of Drunken Immortal Pavilion branches had to be proportional to the strength of the Xu Family.

Xu Qingzhou's plan was: the third phase would cover the Three Great Dynasties, the fourth phase the Cang Continent Eastern Region, the fifth phase the Cang Continent, the sixth phase the Tian Yuan World, the seventh phase the Immortal Realm, the eighth phase the Myriad Realms, and the ninth phase would be drinking spiritual branch nectar with the Heavenly Dao.

It was a heavy responsibility and a long road ahead.

…..

Xu Chen thought for a long time and finally decided to go out and travel.

His special ability had been skillfully mastered and used multiple times over the past two years, with excellent results.

It was just that although Lingyue City was prosperous enough and had a large market, Xu Chen had gone out to explore every few days over the past two years, visiting all the places where he could find treasures multiple times. He really couldn't find anything good anymore.

Therefore, he decided to visit other cities in the Great Qi Dynasty to search for good treasures.

Of course, Xu Qingzhou had given him a lot of resources over the past two years, so he didn't lack cultivation resources.

But as a Cultivator, who would complain about having too few resources?

What's more, Xu Chen also wanted to find some powerful items for Xu Qingzhou, his Master, and his Master's wife, and even to give back to the Family.

So, going out was inevitable.

When Xu Chen told his Master, Shangguan Zhuo, about this decision, Shangguan Zhuo instinctively wanted to stop him. After all, he was only in the Drawing Spirit Realm, and venturing out with such cultivation was too dangerous.

"How about this, go ask the Clan Leader for his opinion. If he agrees, you can go out."

Shangguan Zhuo wanted Xu Qingzhou, whose words carried more weight, to object, and then he would follow suit and comfort Xu Chen together.

He believed that Xu Qingzhou would definitely not allow Xu Chen, who had good talent but insufficient cultivation, to go out for training.

Unfortunately, his plan backfired. He underestimated the weight of a Heavenly Chosen in Xu Qingzhou's eyes.

When Xu Qingzhou heard Xu Chen's words, he didn't even need to hear his inner thoughts to instantly understand his idea.

It was nothing more than wanting to use the Qi Observation Technique to find treasures.

"This world is very dangerous. Without enough strength, you can't even watch a lively scene. Your cultivation is only in the Drawing Spirit Realm; it's too dangerous to go out."

Xu Chen wanted to explain, but Xu Qingzhou suddenly changed the subject.

"However, if you really want to go out and travel, it's fine. I can go with you to ensure your safety."

Huh?

Xu Chen was stunned, looking overwhelmed and at a loss.

"You? Personally protect me?"

He had expected Xu Qingzhou to agree or refuse, but he never expected him to agree and then personally protect him.

【This, this, this… The Clan Leader is too good to me, isn't he? Could I be his illegitimate child?】

Pfft!!

Hearing Xu Chen's inner thought, Xu Qingzhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This kid had quite the imagination.

Xu Qingzhou made this decision because he understood that Xu Chen's Golden Finger indeed needed him to go out more to maximize its benefits.

But his cultivation was indeed too low and required someone to protect him.

His Master, Shangguan Zhuo, was a good choice, but his Master didn't know about his Golden Finger, so in the process, he would greatly misunderstand his various actions.

But Xu Qingzhou knew about his Golden Finger. Not only would he not misunderstand, but he would even actively help Xu Chen find some excuses and reasons to allow him to use his Golden Finger reasonably.

Therefore, it was most suitable for Xu Qingzhou to accompany him.

"I'm just going out for a walk. Asking you to personally protect me, I really can't bear it."

Xu Chen felt a bit embarrassed and awkward. After all, no junior going out for a trip likes to have an elder follow and accompany them.

Xu Qingzhou said with a smile, "You want to go out and travel, and so do I."

Xu Chen thought long and hard, then nodded.

"Alright then, I'll trouble you."

【It's good to travel with the Clan Leader. At least my Master, my Master's wife, and my parents won't worry about me.】

Xu Qingzhou had given him a lot of resources in the past two years and had even arranged for someone to specifically take care of his mother, who was not in good health. He had truly taken great care of him, making it difficult for him to refuse Xu Qingzhou, so he could only agree.

Little did he know, going with Xu Qingzhou was the most suitable and correct choice.

Xu Qingzhou also wanted to see the upper and lower limits of Xu Chen's Qi Observation Technique.

In the future, when he needed it, he could just find him.
