Chapter 28 Devoted to Cultivation
"How dare he?"
The old servant of the Zhang family looked astonished, staring in disbelief at Lu Qingyun's departing figure.
He wasn't unaware of this matter.
However, Liang Guoyi was an orphan and had even offended the black-robed deacon, so how could he dare to directly offend the Zhang family?
"interesting."
Zhang Tianlie's face turned fierce, his eyes like an eagle's, staring intently at Lu Qingyun's back, and he licked his lips.
"I never expected to encounter such an interesting person on my first visit to Spirit Plant Peak. It seems that applying to the family for this matter was indeed the right thing to do."
"Young Master, should I have someone take care of him?"
Upon hearing this, the old servant of the Zhang family tensed up, clenched his right fist, and said fiercely.
"This brat dares to be so disrespectful to the Zhang family and show no respect for the young master. He must not be allowed to live."
"We only need to find one desperate criminal, and he will surely disappear from this sacred peak."
"Old Biao."
"Um?"
The old servant of the Zhang family looked at Zhang Tianlie, thinking that he was about to give further instructions.
However, the next second.
"Are you out of your mind from practicing martial arts? Why are you getting involved in external martial arts instead of cultivating the proper path of immortality?"
Zhang Tianlie looked at the old servant as if he were a fool, patted the dust off his shoulder, and said:
"This is Spirit Plant Peak, the most entrenched and unambitious peak in the entire Cloud Mist Sect. If you take action and eliminate him, how can we expect those people to serve us?"
"Besides, although that woman from the Zhao family is not a threat, if she protects that boy, and we make a mistake, wouldn't we lose both our wife and our army?"
"this..."
Zhang Biao opened his mouth, feeling extremely ashamed.
Then, he said eagerly.
"Young Master, it was my carelessness, but it has nothing to do with external martial arts. You must not let the family cut off my Nine Dragon Pills."
"It's hopeless after all..."
"Since we can't attack him directly, tell us what we should do instead of always thinking about your pills!"
Zhang Tianlie helplessly rubbed his forehead.
He kept telling his family that although the Nine Dragons Pill could increase one's power and store strength, it inevitably affected intelligence and was also addictive, so the supply of pills to Elder Biao should be reduced.
But he just couldn't persuade him otherwise!
The old man has worked hard and made great contributions. He just wants to eat a few dragons. What's wrong with that?
Zhang Tianlie sighed as he turned his gaze to Elder Biao.
"Old Biao, you really should eat less of those Nine Dragons Pills."
"It's only because I'm tolerant of you. If it were my older brother, who's so harsh, he'd probably call you a good-for-nothing."
"I was just thinking that you must have a plan, young master."
The old servant of the Zhang family smiled sheepishly.
"You just need to tell me what to do. Asking me to use my brain is really not my forte."
As he spoke, the old servant of the Zhang family flexed his muscles and winked at Zhang Tianlie.
"I wish there were more Nine Dragon Pills this month! I feel my external martial arts skills will soon reach the eighth level of Qi Refining, at which point I'll be able to better protect the young master!"
"never mind."
Zhang Tianlie gave up trying to persuade Biao Lao and stared intently in the direction of Lu Qingyun in the distance.
"However, you're right, I do have an idea."
"Young Master, please give us your instructions!"
The old servant of the Zhang family looked at Zhang Tianlie with a serious expression, and then his face turned fierce.
As a loyal servant of the Zhang family, he was never known for his wisdom, because he believed more in his extraordinary strength.
"If it's necessary to go to Liang Kingdom to kidnap his family for blackmail, I'll order a flying boat for tomorrow right away..."
"hiss!"
Zhang Tianlie rubbed his forehead in anguish: "Alright, Elder Biao, stop talking. We need to outsmart them, understand?"
"Never use any violence against those cowardly and timid shut-ins from Lingzhi Peak."
As he spoke, Zhang Tianlie put his hands in his pockets and looked deep into his mind.
"On the contrary, we should win people's hearts!"
"My Zhang family owns Danfeng Peak and is the wealthiest in the sect. No one can resist our sugar-coated bullets. If anyone..."
"So we'll just crush him?"
The old servant of the Zhang family rubbed his hands together, his eyes burning with fierce determination.
Zhang Tianlie covered his mouth expressionlessly.
"Of course, we'll offer a higher price."
"Offered a price he couldn't resist."
……
Cloud Cliff Spirit Field.
Zhao Qingxuan watched Lu Qingyun leave thoughtfully.
Zhang Tianlie might feel that Lu Qingyun was disrespecting him, but Zhao Qingxuan vaguely understood that Lu Qingyun simply didn't want to help either of the two families.
However, Zhao Qingxuan rested her face on her fair hand, a smile playing on her lips.
The sixth young master of the Zhang family is quite extraordinary; he is a well-known oddball in the Zhang family and not so easy to get rid of.
Several days later, Lu Qingyun opened his eyes in the quiet room.
After planting the white corn in the Cloud Cliff Spirit Field, he felt that these spiritual plants seemed to resonate with the longevity magic power within his body.
This makes the spiritual energy he draws from heaven and earth more refined, and also improves the efficiency of his absorption.
However, looking at the message transmitted by the jade talisman in his hand...
Lu Qingyun frowned slightly.
That young master Zhang somehow obtained his contact information through the jade talisman and would send him messages every two days, inviting him to meet at the spiritual field below.
At the same time, he was promised various resources such as spirit stones and spirit materials.
"A strange person."
Lu Qingyun shook his head.
There was no threat in Zhang Tianlie's words; he seemed genuinely interested in befriending him.
However, Lu Qingyun showed no intention of agreeing.
Zhang Tianlie gave him any resources in order to get him to side with the Zhang family and become an enemy of the Zhao family.
He neither accepted Zhang Tianlie's invitation nor replied to Zhao Qingxuan's invitation to have tea.
His potential was exhausted when he used the Soul Stealing Technique to enter the third level of Qi Refining.
Without a doubt, neither of them would give him any spiritual treasures to help him break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
If that's the case, what's the point of investing in either of them?
"My greatest wish is to cultivate in peace. Whether it's the invasion of the demonic sect or the conflict between the Zhang and Zhao families, it has nothing to do with me."
"In this life, I only wish to live a few more days and prepare more for the next."
Lu Qingyun secluded himself in the spiritual field, completely unconcerned about the ebb and flow of the external world.
During this period, the cultivation of the spirit rice was entirely entrusted to ordinary farmers.
The maid Qiuju is quite good at managing the spirit field.
Lu Qingyun felt at ease entrusting all these matters to her.
Although she didn't see him, Qiuju seemed a little disappointed.
However, the maid's thoughts meant nothing to him.
Lu Qingyun didn't care about this.
And so, about a year later...
Zhang Tianlie, who was down the mountain, seemed to have finally given up the harassment and was busy with something. Qiuju said that she seemed to have seen the figure of her dark-skinned senior brother in his spiritual field.
At dusk that day, Lu Qingyun sat cross-legged on the edge of the cliff.
In the distance, the setting sun casts a golden glow, adorning the entire Spirit Plant Peak.
Around Lu Qingyun, a dark cyan vortex of magical power swirled continuously, greedily absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy. At the same time, he instantly crushed several spirit stones.
"boom!"
The next second, a burst of vibrant energy exploded around Lu Qingyun.
Lu Qingyun drew upon the dark blue magic power in his hands, drawing it back to himself, and suddenly opened his eyes.
"Finally, I've reached the fourth level of Qi Refining."
Feeling the continuous flow of magical power within his body, Lu Qingyun smiled slightly.
Although it was somewhat strange, he advanced to the mid-stage of Qi Refining without spending the thirty years of arduous training described in the cultivation method.
But now, he has finally caught up with the cultivation levels of Sun Chang of Beast Taming Peak and the blue-robed disciple.
He was no longer a low-level cultivator in the early stages of outer sect Qi cultivation, looked down upon by everyone.
They gained the authority to accept missions from the sect.
