I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates-Chapter 1040 - 1038: You’ve Tortured Me Too!

Chapter 1040: Chapter 1038: You’ve Tortured Me Too!

“Qing Shuang, you said you met an Inner Sect Disciple with a great reputation within the Sword Sect.”

“That Inner Sect Disciple not only had a Golden Core Late Stage Cultivation Level but was also highly valued by the True Sword Master and even won three A-level ratings in the last Sword Peak competition?”

“More importantly, he was willing to help the Chen Family?”

High in the sky, Chen Yuqiu asked Chen Qingshuang beside him again, his face still expressing half-doubt.

“It’s absolutely true, great uncle. You’ve asked me three times already.”

“Senior Lu indeed promised me that I could seek his help if needed.”

Chen Qingshuang said somewhat helplessly, as her great uncle seemed to either be forgetful due to his age or something else, having asked the same question three times already on their way here.

“It’s really hard to believe.”

Chen Yuqiu murmured to himself, letting the subtle Sword Qi pass over his skin as they flew high in the sky.

He had cultivated in the Sword Sect for many years but had failed to break through to the Condensing Pill Realm within the stipulated time and didn’t want to languish as an Outer Sect Disciple, so he returned to the Chen family to take over the family business.

After much trouble, he had fortunately broken through to Core Formation, but his lifespan was limited, and his path in cultivation had come to an end.

Even so, he understood the significant value of the information Chen Qingshuang had shared.

An Inner Sect disciple at the Condensing Pill Realm, valued so highly by a sword master, certainly had unique abilities, as proven by the three A-level ratings in the Sword Peak competition.

“Three A-level ratings? Friend Lu Xuan truly is a freak of nature.”

According to his knowledge, achieving a B-level rating during the competition would qualify someone as a genius on any of the Sword Peaks, yet that person obtained three A-level ratings at the same time, indeed standing alone.

“If it’s really as Qing Shuang said, then that Inner Sect Disciple, skilled in making spirit plant talismans and more, holds a status within the Sword Peak no less than those in the Nascent Soul Realm.”

“The problems facing the Chen family could be easily solved by him with just a few words.”

Chen Yuqiu followed Chen Qingshuang into True Sword Peak with mixed feelings of anxiety and anticipation.

Inside the cave abode, Lu Xuan learned of Chen Qingshuang’s intentions and fell into contemplation.

“The mine was supposed to be managed by the Chen family, right?”

He asked softly.

“Indeed, friend,” she replied.

“The maintenance, cleaning, and collection of the mine require a large number of low-rank cultivators, and the Chen family, being nearby, is extremely convenient for management and has traditionally belonged to our family.”

“The Zhang family is a bit farther away but also has two medicine gardens belonging to the Sword Sect. Driven by greed, they still want to take the mine for themselves.”

“Helpless, I had no choice but to seek friend Lu’s help, hoping you would intercede on behalf of our ancestor.”

Chen Yuqiu spoke earnestly.

“Alright, I’ll accompany you.”

Lu Xuan said, his expression unchanged.

The opposing family was small, and even with all their resources, they only had three Core Formation Cultivators and were under the jurisdiction of the Sword Sect, with the moral disadvantage on their side; thus, he quickly made his decision.

“In Heart Sword Lake, the insistence of Chen family’s ancestral Sword Spirit is straightforward—simply take good care of the Chen family.”

“If this could be achieved, it could later be integrated into a high-rank Flying Sword, greatly enhancing the flying sword’s power and spiritual nature, saving a lot of nurturing effort.”

He thought to himself.

“Thank you, senior!”

“Thank you, friend Lu!”

With these words, intense joy flashed in the eyes of both Chen Qingshuangs as they bowed in gratitude to Lu Xuan.

As long as Lu Xuan was willing to act, the difficulties troubling the Chen family could be smoothly resolved.

“Zhang Xiaozhi from Chong Xu Sword Peak, right?”

Lu Xuan asked softly.

“That’s correct, he’s the most formidable among the younger generation of the Zhang family within the Sword Sect.”

Chen Yuqiu replied, lowering his head.

“Let’s go talk with him first, to understand the Zhang Family’s intentions.”

Lu Xuan stood up, instructed the White Ape to watch over the cave abode, and swiftly flew toward Chong Xu Sword Peak with the two others.

Chong Xu Sword Peak was gloriously radiant, surrounded by majestic clouds and mist—worthy of being the most powerful among the nine great Sword Peaks.

Lu Xuan found someone, confirmed the whereabouts of Zhang Xiaozhi’s cave abode, and flew straight there.

“Junior brother Lu, you’ve come to Chong Xu Sword Peak and didn’t come to see me?”

A streak of light shot from afar like lightning, the glow dissipating to reveal a handsome young man with a casual, easy-going demeanor, smiling slightly.

It was Wan Chong, who had once attended the Liyang Dao Sect’s Grand Spiritual Conference with Jian Huanzhen, possessing Golden Core Completion cultivation, almost stepping into the Nascent Soul Realm, his fame spread far and wide among the Inner Sect disciples.

The two got along well, and since Lu Xuan usually brought out rare bottles of Spirit Brew instead of using Spirit Stones, their friendship was quite good.

After obtaining three A-grades at the Sword Peak competition, their camaraderie deepened even further. As soon as he learned that Lu Xuan had come to Chong Xu Sword Peak, he actively sought him out.

“It’s not the junior brother’s fault.”

Lu Xuan wore a slight apologetic smile and spoke.

“It’s just that Senior Brother Wan is at a crucial moment in advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, and I feared disturbing his quiet cultivation, so I did not visit him.”

“What quiet cultivation, isn’t breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage supposed to be natural?”

Wan Chong chuckled lightly.

The three people present fell silent, as those words felt rather harsh to hear.

“If only I had the talent like you, Senior Brother.”

Lu Xuan spoke from his heart.

Although he could harvest a large amount of Cultivate Level and treasures from the Light Cluster, he couldn’t help but envy the true cultivation talents.

“Right, Junior Brother Lu, what brings you to Chong Xu Sword Peak?”

Wan Chong asked curiously.

“There’s a small matter, I’d like to talk to an Inner Sect Disciple of the Sword Peak.”

Lu Xuan said casually.

“Oh? Who?”

“Junior Brother Zhang Xiaozhi from Zhang Family.”

“…Who?”

Wan Chong asked again, seeming unfamiliar with the Inner Sect Disciple mentioned by Lu Xuan.

“In the Early Core Formation stage, he joined Chong Xu Sword Peak a few years ago.”

Lu Xuan reminded.

“I remember now.”

Wan Chong nodded lightly, adding,

“There are just too many inner sect disciples in Sword Peak, so it’s hard to remember.”

“Why bother going there in person, Junior Brother Lu? I’ll send a message for Zhang disciple to come to my cave abode.”

He flicked his finger, shooting a Dark Talisman into the Sword Qi cloud sea.

“Come, let’s sit at my place. I have some top-quality Demon Beast Meat, just missing your Spirit Brew.”

He laughed as he patted Lu Xuan’s shoulder, gesturing for Chen Yuqiu and the others to follow.

“Haha, I definitely have to taste it.”

Going with the flow, Lu Xuan nodded to the others and followed Wan Chong at high speed to his cave abode.

Once inside, Wan Chong brought out dozens of pounds of fresh Grade 5 Demon Beast Meat and ordered his followers to quickly prepare it.

Additionally, with the True Sword Elixir brought out by Lu Xuan, both enjoyed their meal to the fullest.

Chen Yuqiu and Chen Qingshuang each also received a plate, chewing carefully to avoid wasting even a bit of Spiritual Power.

“Xiao Zhi pays respect to Senior Brother Wan!”

A clear voice came from outside the cave abode.

“Come in.”

Wan Chong said indistinctly.

“Zhang Xiaozhi pays respects to Senior Brother Wan! And to Senior Brother Lu!”

After the Sword Peak competition, Lu Xuan’s fame had soared, and even those who hadn’t met him were familiar with his appearance and stature.

“Chen chieftain, Miss Qing Shuang is also here.”

Upon seeing Chen Yuqiu and the others sitting in the corner, Zhang Xiaozhi’s heart skipped a beat, and he struggled to maintain a calm demeanor.

Previously, the Zhang Family had expressed an interest in the Chen Family’s mines, and after consulting him, Zhang Xiaozhi, knowing details about the Chen Family, had agreed.

Seeing the two of them, he immediately knew why they were there and internally groaned in frustration.

“Isn’t the Chen Family a small and declining family with no Jindan Cultivators since the chieftain’s time? Yet now, how have they connected with Huan Zhen Sword Peak’s Lu Xuan, a master of various cultivation techniques?”

“Chieftain! You really put me in a difficult situation!”

He cried inwardly.
