Tian Yuan

Chapter 2260 Too anxious to eat hot tofu

The last time they met, Chen Qingyuan gave Xiao Junchou a great fortune, top-notch Taoism and a large amount of resources, enough to greatly enhance his strength.

Xiao Junchou's strength is steadily increasing, and so is Dean Yan. It is impossible for them to stay where they are and wait.

Therefore, even if Xiao Junchou quickened his pace, there was still a certain gap between him and Yan Ximeng. Not to mention defeating her, even a draw was a luxury.

It will take a long time to achieve the desired result.

If this continues, we'll probably just be buried together.

It happened that Chen Qingyuan came to Daoyi Academy today. Xiao Junchou seemed to see the light of hope and hurriedly sent a secret message, insisting on meeting him.

"Master, you... haven't succeeded yet?"

It’s been so many years, Chen Qingyuan was speechless.

"Don't talk nonsense. Is there any better way?"

Xiao Junchou didn't care who Chen Qingyuan was or what kind of terrifying strength he had. His attitude remained unchanged and he was only thinking about his senior sister.

"Master, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

Chen Qingyuan treated Xiao Junchou as his own elder and didn't care about the other party's tone.

I still remember when the Qing Sect was in trouble, Xiao Junchou risked his life to protect the Qing Sect and Chen Qingyuan, and he stood guard all the way. This kindness alone would earn Chen Qingyuan a lifetime of gratitude and respect.

"If you delay any longer, you'll end up in a coffin."

Time waits for no one, and Xiao Junchou no longer has the patience.

Time is cruel, but the truth is true.

"Do you want a steady win? Or a trick?"

Understanding Xiao Junchou's urgency, Chen Qingyuan thought about it seriously.

Xiao Junchou's face was filled with deep sorrow, his eyes were dim, and his spirit looked a little haggard.

At this moment, when he heard Chen Qingyuan's words, all the sorrows in his heart were instantly dispelled. Bright ripples flowed in his eyes, as if he saw a candlelight symbolizing hope in the silent night, felt a touch of warmth, and had a direction to move forward.

"Tell us all!"

Fearing that Chen Qingyuan would suddenly disappear from his sight, Xiao Junchou quickly stepped forward, grabbed his wrist, and spoke urgently.

"Don't worry, let's sit down and talk slowly."

Chen Qingyuan said calmly.

After all, he was asking for help, and Chen Qingyuan seemed to have a solution. Xiao Junchou immediately changed his cold and arrogant attitude, forced a kind smile on his face, pulled Chen Qingyuan to sit in the guest seat, and personally poured a cup of tea, slightly flattering: "Qingyuan, have some tea."

"Uncle Master, the relationship between us doesn't need to be so polite."

Seeing Xiao Junchou's attitude change, Chen Qingyuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"As guests, you must sit down and have a cup of tea."

Xiao Junchou didn't take the main seat, but instead moved a stool and sat next to Chen Qingyuan, only a few feet away. Judging from his posture, if Chen Qingyuan didn't solve his problem, he would definitely not let Chen Qingyuan leave in peace.

Chen Qingyuan felt uncomfortable and uneasy because of his uncle's warm hospitality.

I took a sip of the tea, which was at the perfect temperature and had a rich aroma.

Xiao Junchou kept staring at Chen Qingyuan, not daring to look away, fearing that he would slip away. "After drinking Master's tea, you must take care of Master's business."

Of course, Chen Qingyuan was determined to leave, and even a hundred Xiao Junchou couldn't stop him. However, that didn't fit Chen Qingyuan's style.

Since my uncle-master has spoken, how can I not help?

But, is it a bit too much to expect me to get things done just for a cup of tea? Whose nephew can't stand such a test?

Ugh!

Chen Qingyuan sighed in his heart. Who says I am kind-hearted and don’t care about these things?

"What I mean by steady victory is that I will discuss and learn from my uncle-master. Given time, I will surely achieve my wish."

In name, it was a discussion and exchange of ideas, but in reality, it was just one-sided instruction. Xiao Junchou was the elder after all, so Chen Qingyuan had to speak in a nice way to save face.

"No, who knows how long it will take."

Xiao Junchou rejected the proposal.

Over the years, Xiao Junchou has always adhered to the belief of "given time", always feeling that one day in the future he would be able to defeat Yan Ximeng.

However, Xiao Junchou has not been successful yet, and the gap between him and Yan Ximeng may be even bigger.

Yan Ximeng's talent was much better than Xiao Junchou's, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to suppress him for her entire life. Even if Xiao Junchou had received a great deal of good fortune, it would have been difficult to make up for it.

"A thousand years at most."

Considering the difference in strength between his uncle and the old dean, Chen Qingyuan made a careful calculation and made a conservative estimate.

"No! It's too long!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Junchou's face changed, becoming extremely serious, and he decisively rejected it.

In the past, a thousand years wouldn't have been a big deal. But now, with the situation becoming increasingly turbulent, no one can predict what the future holds.

If the universe is in turmoil and something unexpected happens, Xiao Junchou will not be able to achieve a happy ending with Yan Ximeng and will die with regrets.

"Tell me about a trick."

Xiao Junchou wanted to take a shortcut.

"Poison."

Chen Qingyuan was concise and to the point.

Shocked at the news, Xiao Junchou's eyes widened and he shouted, "You've lost your mind, kid!"

"Uncle Master, please be patient. I haven't finished yet." Chen Qingyuan explained in detail: "I once entered an ancient secret realm and obtained an extraordinary prescription..."

That prescription was obtained by Chen Qingyuan in ancient times. It was unknown which ancient powerful person left it behind. The medicine had special effects and could be effective for all cultivators below the level of Quasi-Emperor.

Once the victim activates all his profound energy, his body will be temporarily paralyzed and unable to move for a few breaths.

The drug will not cause any harm to the victim's body, and the effect can only occur once.

It is precisely because of the special nature of this prescription that many strong people are unable to sense the danger, capsize in the ditch, and have no idea what went wrong until they die.

In a fight between strong men, a few moments of slow movement can change the outcome.

Speaking of which, Chen Qingyuan has also studied this prescription in depth, and it works quite well in some cases.

This medicine has a big disadvantage. It takes a certain amount of time and multiple doses. It must not be noticed by others during the process, otherwise all the efforts will be wasted.

Chen Qingyuan told Xiao Junchou all the details about the medicine without reservation.

After hearing this, Xiao Junchou's eyes sparkled with eagerness to try.

Such a good thing, why didn’t you tell me about it earlier!

After the joy, Xiao Junchou complained in his heart.

“It’s a bit troublesome, but the probability of success is quite high.”

Given the close relationship between Xiao Junchou and Yan Ximeng, it would be very easy for them to do something quietly.

"Also..."

When talking about drugging, Chen Qingyuan thought of a weird idea, but he couldn't bring himself to say it, so he hesitated.

"What else?"

Although Chen Qingyuan's expression was quite rich, Xiao Junchou's eyes were filled with desire for success, and he didn't react at first.
