Although the situation is not good now, at least I have saved my life, which is something to be thankful for.

"Humph, you are quite open-minded! But I haven't asked you yet, why have you never told me that you have the psychic treasure?"

“No wonder, during the few times when they were practicing in seclusion, they left me outside the seclusion room.”

"I have long wanted to personally study the true spiritual treasure."

"Stop talking nonsense. Take some time to bring the small tripod to me for a closer look."

Lord Dayan's tone changed, and he said in a somewhat depressed tone, and then he remembered that Chen Yun had a psychic treasure.

I was very curious and couldn't wait to see what the treasure looked like.

So no matter whether Chen Yun is in good health or not, he just wants to see the baby first.

"Give it to the senior for research. Of course there is no problem. However, I have to wait until my cultivation is restored before I can take the tripod out of my body."

Chen Yun said calmly, he knew clearly his current situation.

There is really no way to take out the tripod immediately. I can only wait until my cultivation recovers. So I explain it to Lord Dayan first to avoid making him anxious.

"Okay! Since you've agreed, let's just forget about it."

"However, there is indeed a cultivator on the ship, but she is just a little girl at the second or third level of Qi Refining Stage, not worth mentioning at all. Just keep an eye on her."

After hearing what Chen Yun said, Lord Dayan's tone softened.

Then he didn't say anything more, as if he felt that the matter was not that urgent, and dropped the subject.

"The second or third level of Qi Refining Stage?"

Chen Yun was startled when he heard that there were cultivators on the boat, and their cultivation was so low.

He was indeed a little surprised, but he still slowly opened his eyes, wanting to see what was going on.

"Hey, old man. This guy is awake!"

As soon as Chen Yun opened his eyes, he heard a clear cry in front of his bed.

A girl who looked only fourteen or fifteen years old shouted with joy when she saw him open his eyes.

The girl's face was full of surprise and her eyes were shining, as if she had discovered something extraordinary.

The girl has fair and tender skin, just like a freshly peeled egg, exuding a youthful aura. She has a round face and big eyes, and looks quite cute, which makes people feel good about her at first sight.

"Well, I naturally saw it."

On a chair next to the girl sat an old man in a gray robe, who looked to be in his sixties, with kind eyes, and was looking at Chen Yun calmly.

There was a hint of inquiry in his eyes, as if he was guessing Chen Yun's background and what had happened to him.

"Old Master, you stay with him first. I'll go inform the young lady!"

Before Chen Yun could ask anything, the round-faced girl was like a happy little bird.

She said something chattering to the old man, and then ran out. Her movements were so fast that she disappeared in the blink of an eye. It was obvious that this girl was impatient.

Chen Yun couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect the girl to be so impetuous.

Before I could react, the person had already run out. I was at a loss whether to laugh or cry for a moment.

"Haha! This girl is just like that. Please don't be offended, sir!"

The old man shook his head gently and smiled kindly at Chen Yun, with a sense of tolerance in his smile.

Obviously he knew the girl's temperament very well and was used to her noisy appearance.

"I dare not. Were you two the ones who saved me? Where is this place? You are..."

Chen Yun also smiled back, then slowly sat up and asked politely.

He is not clear about where he is and the identities of the two people in front of him, so he wants to figure out the situation.

"We are on the surface of Shun River. You were in the river, your life or death was unknown, and my second young lady called for someone to rescue you. And I, He Wen, am a teacher hired by the lady."

The old man stroked his short beard and nodded, his tone very calm.

He introduced the situation slowly and unhurriedly, allowing Chen Yun to have a preliminary understanding of his current situation.

"I see. My last name is Chen, and I would like to thank this lady for saving my life."

Chen Yun let out a light breath and bowed, saying that his heart was filled with gratitude towards the second young lady.

After all, he saved my life, which is a great favor. I thought I must find an opportunity to thank him properly.

"My young lady is indeed kindhearted. But whether she will meet you or not is hard to say. But Mr. Chen, can you tell me why you appeared in the ice and are not dead yet? I am very interested."

The old man had a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of interest.

He was really curious about what had happened to Chen Yun.

How could one be trapped in the ice and still be alive? So I couldn't help but ask, wanting to satisfy my curiosity.

"This? I don't want to deceive you, Master, but I do have some unspeakable sufferings that I cannot tell you."

Chen Yun hesitated for a moment, but finally told the truth.

He felt that there were some things he couldn't say at the moment, but he didn't want to lie to the old man.

So I can only express it in this tactful way, and I hope the old man can understand.

"It's nothing. Everyone has some inconveniences from time to time."

The old man was very generous. He waved his hand and looked unconcerned. He saw that Chen Yun didn't want to say anything.

I didn't ask any more questions. He was very reasonable.

Just then, the round-faced girl came bouncing in again, her steps brisk and her face still full of liveliness.

"Master, Miss, please let this young master rest quietly. We can discuss other matters later."

As the girl spoke, she looked at Chen Yun with some curiosity.

Those big eyes rolled around, as if trying to see through Chen Yun, and were full of curiosity about Chen Yun.

After Chen Yun noticed it, he smiled at her. As a result, the little maid immediately blushed and lowered her head. She looked quite shy and thought to herself:
"This man doesn't look very impressive. He is far inferior to the young lady's former friends. But why is the young lady paying so much attention to him?"

She was very confused about the fact that her young lady was paying attention to Chen Yun, but she couldn't figure out why.

"Since the young lady has ordered it, you should have a good rest since you just woke up. I will take my leave now."

Seeing this, the old man stood up and said goodbye. He thought that since the young lady said so, he should let Chen Yun have a good rest and he would not disturb her any more. Chen Yun naturally expressed his gratitude again, and then watched the old man lead the young girl out of the house.

Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief and begin to calm down and think about what I should do next.

Chen Yun, who was alone, immediately fell silent as he looked at the wooden roof.

After a long while, he sighed softly, thinking about his current situation.

My cultivation has dropped significantly, and I’m in this strange place. I don’t know what I’ll encounter in the future, so I can’t help but feel worried.

In the next two days, there was nothing else except a rough-handed maid who brought three meals a day.

No one else came to disturb Chen Yun, which made Chen Yun quite satisfied. After all, what he needed most now was to practice quietly and recover his cultivation.

So he naturally took the pills as soon as possible, then sat cross-legged to meditate and practice, hoping to get better as soon as possible.

As for the little girl who was at the second or third level of Qi Refining mentioned by Lord Dayan, Chen Yun discovered the woman by releasing his spiritual sense a little further.

It turned out to be a beautiful young woman who looked like a pretty girl from a small family and seemed quite gentle.

She has a faint aura of a cultivator. Although her cultivation level is not high, one can still feel that she is different from others.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Judging from the way others addressed her, she was the "Second Miss" who rescued her.

Chen Yun was not too surprised. It seemed that the woman must have discovered his identity as a cultivator.

That's probably why someone rescued him, Chen Yun guessed in his mind.

By eavesdropping on the idle chatter of other people on board, Chen Yun also got to know the general situation of the ship.

The people on the boat seemed to be the family of a county lieutenant named Cao from somewhere in Liaozhou. Because he was transferred in a hurry, he left first to take up the post, and let his family follow slowly.

But there were only a few real official wives, one original wife and two concubines.

There are three other young men and young ladies. The second young lady was born to the original wife.

It is said that he had been weak and sickly since childhood. He was fostered in a women's temple for a period of time when he was young, and only returned home in recent years.

The other two were born to concubines. One was the eldest daughter, already of marriageable age, and had already been engaged, and would soon be betrothed to someone else. The other was the third son, only eleven or twelve years old.

Other people with some status include Master He, Master Zhou and others.

There is also a cold-faced butler named Wang, who is responsible for managing all the maids and servants.

The escorts on the ship are Wang Tieqiang and his partner, who are responsible for the security of the ship.

However, Chen Yun noticed with a little attention that the second young lady was actually a low-level cultivator.

Even the housekeeper Wang has a strong amount of true energy flowing through his body.

The strength of that true energy is much stronger than the crude martial arts of the two bodyguards. It is obvious that Butler Wang is also a capable person.

Among those servants, there were several who were agile and had a murderous aura, and they did not seem to be ordinary people.

The personnel situation on this ship is quite complicated.

Chen Yun thought about it in his mind, but he didn't have the energy to explore these things too much now. He just wanted to understand the general idea first. After all, the most important thing at the moment was to restore his cultivation.

Although he felt a little strange, Chen Yun withdrew his spiritual sense once he figured out the situation on the ship.

He no longer paid attention to these things, but started practicing on his own, devoting himself wholeheartedly to the process of improving his cultivation.

Two days later, the second young lady indeed sent a maid to invite Chen Yun to come over. The maid came to Chen Yun's room, knocked on the door gently, and then said crisply:
"Mr. Chen, my lady wants you to come over."

Chen Yun naturally would not refuse. After all, the other person had saved him and was now asking him to come over.

There must be something wrong, so he got up and followed the maid, and finally met the second young lady in a larger room on the boat.

When the woman saw Chen Yun, she waved her hand to send the others away. Her action was very decisive.

It was obvious that he had something to say to Chen Yun alone, and then he smiled at Chen Yun. The smile was very polite, revealing a sense of courtesy and friendliness.

"Brother Chen is also from the Taoist sect, right? I am Cao Mengrong, a disciple of Xuanyu Dao. I wonder which sect Brother Chen belongs to."

The woman said in an unusually polite manner that in her opinion, there was neither demonic energy nor Buddha's light on Chen Yun.

Since he doesn't have the noble spirit of Confucianism, he can only be a Taoist.

So I asked this question based on my guess, wanting to know about Chen Yun's background.

"Xuan Yu Dao?"

Chen Yun's eyebrows twitched. He had never heard of the name of this sect. But this was also normal, except for the ten main sects.

Apart from the Ten Great Demon Sects, he knew very little about the other sects in Dajin, so it was not surprising that he had never heard of them.

"Our sect is just an unknown small sect in Liaozhou. It's not surprising that Fellow Daoist Chen doesn't know about it."

Seeing Chen Yun's hesitation, Cao Mengrong explained with a chuckle. She was quite frank about it and felt that her sect was not very famous.

It was normal that Chen Yun didn't know, so he didn't feel embarrassed about it.

"Fellow Daoist Cao is too modest. I am just a casual cultivator who has just entered the Great Jin Cultivation World. I am not familiar with the various sects. I am really making fun of you."

Chen Yun clasped his fists and acted embarrassed, then he told the truth about his situation.

After all, I really don't know much about the Dajin sect, so there is no need to hide anything.

"So Brother Chen has just left the sect. I have also just left the sect not long ago. But our sect is indeed just a small one. Brother Chen is so young, but his cultivation is so superb. It is really a cause for celebration!"

Cao Mengrong's eyes lit up and she said charmingly, looking at Chen Yun with admiration in her eyes.

I think it's amazing that Chen Yun has such a high level of cultivation at such a young age. I feel even more curious and respectful towards him.

"Nothing, I was just lucky. I had a chance before. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come this far."

Chen Yun could only reply ambiguously. He didn't want to talk about his past experiences in detail.

After all, there are some things that are better left to one’s own knowledge, so I just dealt with it vaguely.

Seeing that Chen Yun didn't want to elaborate, the woman smiled in understanding and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she changed the subject and said:
"Brother Chen, how come your body is frozen in the river? Did you encounter a strong enemy?"

She was still very curious about Chen Yun being trapped in the ice, so she asked again, wanting to know what was going on.

"That's about it. Chen would like to thank fellow Taoist for his help!"

Chen Yun smiled bitterly, and seemed unwilling to elaborate. He still didn't want to talk about the dangerous things he had encountered before.

I just expressed my gratitude briefly, hoping Cao Mengrong would stop asking questions. (End of this chapter)
