"A treasure second only to Spirit Vein..."
"It can also absorb cultivation energy..."
Ye Chenfeng's voice echoed in Lu Li's ears.
His gaze grew ever brighter.
He never imagined that such a wondrous object existed in the world.
It doesn't seem to be recorded in the Record of Earth Veins either.
" Junior Brother Lu, although the concentration of Spiritual Qi in this item is not as high as that of a true Spirit Vein..."
"And it has a limited lifespan; it may last for a hundred years or a few decades before dissipating and turning into ordinary dust."
"But for Xiao Xiu, it's practically a family heirloom."
"Those small, Rogue Cultivator clans and families, lacking the strength to seize Spirit Vein and unwilling to be subservient to others, often purchase Spirit Soil from various places as their foundation."
"These few Rogue Cultivator... perhaps they were obtained from elsewhere."
Ye Chenfeng explained it in detail.
Lu Li felt increasingly itchy as he listened. This item could be sent back to Great Xia to replace the Spirit Vein.
Moreover... he just sent the spirit rice back recently.
With this, we might actually be able to grow spirit rice.
" Senior Brother Ye, do you know where else this Spirit Soil can be obtained?"
"This... I'm not quite sure, this thing hasn't been around for very long."
"It's said that some markets might sell them, but it seems they're not available in the Azure Pool area..."
"By the way, Junior Brother Lu, could you sell me that... that great armor you were wearing earlier?"
Ye Chenfeng subtly probed, revealing his true thoughts.
Lu Li was slightly taken aback.
"Buy my Spirit Machinery Mech?"
"This... let me think about it."
"No problem. By the way, junior brother, who are these two people next to you...?"
" Changming and Changye!"
When Ye Chenfeng asked about his disciple, Lu Li called out softly.
"This is Senior Uncle Ye."
"Greetings, Senior Uncle!"
"Greetings, Uncle Ye!"
Lu Changming and Lu Changye respectfully clasped their hands in a fist salute.
"Oh?! Junior Brother Lu has actually taken on a disciple!"
"Two back, not bad, not bad."
"Uncle-Master, please accept this small gift as a token of our greeting."
Ye Chenfeng gave a kind smile.
With a flick of his wrist, he took out two mid-tier first-level magic swords from his Storage Bag.
"Keep these two magic swords; your master will teach you properly later."
"Thank you, Senior Uncle!"
"Thank you, Senior Uncle Ye!"
Changming and Changye accepted the magic sword and thanked him with joy.
Lu Li didn't stop them; after all, they were rich, so why not take advantage of it?
He's currently calculating how many Spirit Stone he should sell a Spirit Machinery Mech for.
And the Spirit Soil must be sent back as soon as possible.
Elder Wang and the others would be delighted to see this.
No more dawdling.
He clasped his hands in a fist salute to Ye Chenfeng.
" Senior Brother Ye, I came here on a mission, and now that it's complete, I'll be returning to the sect."
Goodbye!
After saying that, he turned and left with Lu Changming and Lu Changye.
"Whoosh!"
The flying sword pierced the sky.
They hadn't gone far when they saw Ye Chenfeng closely following behind.
" Senior Brother Ye, what's wrong with you...?"
"Hehe, junior brother, what a coincidence! I just finished my mission too. Let's head back to the sect together!"
Lu Li: "..."
Two adults and two children sped along on their swords.
The four of them sped towards the Azure Pool Sect's mountain gate.
No one spoke the rest of the way; it was eerily quiet.
But all five of them were experiencing turbulent emotions.
Lu Changming: "Master is amazing! I will definitely cultivate to be like Master in the future!"
Lu Changye: "Me too!"
Lu Li: " The Spirit Soil is truly a treasure; it must be sent to Great Xia immediately. Also, how much should the Spirit Machinery Mech cost... eight thousand or ten thousand?"
Ye Chenfeng: " Junior Brother Lu..."
Elder Jian: " Lu Li is too terrifying. A mere Qi Refinement cultivator can actually create so many objects."
"I originally thought that combat armor was already Celestial Person, but I never expected there to be such a deadly weapon..."
"With his Qi Refinement talent, he crushed the Foundation Establishment, replicating the Thunder Punishment..."
"No!"
We absolutely cannot allow such a bright pearl to be tarnished!
Elder Jian's mind raced, a thousand thoughts swirling within him.
He immediately sent a telepathic message to Ye Chenfeng.
"Kid!"
"What's wrong, Elder Jian?"
"Kid, do you remember what I just said?"
"Just now..."
Ye Chenfeng pondered for a moment.
The next second.
Her cheeks flushed slightly, as if she were thinking of something.
" Elder Jian, are you saying... I should win over Junior Brother Lu no matter what..."
"That's right!"
Elder Jian's voice was filled with unwavering determination and conviction.
"Boy, putting aside your junior brother's cultivation level and aptitude, his mastery of all arts is terrifying!"
"Win him over! Make him your best friend, your sworn brother."
"Not only will it greatly shorten the time it takes for you to become a Venerable... perhaps..."
"It might even allow you to reach the Supreme position that I have never even set foot in!"
When the word ' Supreme ' was mentioned, there was a hint of resentment and regret in the depths of Elder Jian's voice.
He almost reached that Supreme position many years ago.
He was ranked at the pinnacle of the entire Eastern Wasteland, and even the celestial beings in the heavens held him in high regard.
But... it was ultimately just a little short.
He absolutely cannot tolerate this tragedy happening again!
"Kid, even if your own combat strength doesn't reach the Supreme in the end, as long as your junior brother is here..."
"With his mastery of all crafts, he can surely create a top-tier artifact for you, making you comparable to Supreme!"
"From now on, you may command the Eastern Wasteland as you see fit!"
"The three main stars... are all open to exploration!"
Elder Jian's voice was powerful and impassioned.
Every word he spoke made Ye Chenfeng's blood boil.
Their gazes toward Lu Li's retreating figure grew even more intense.
He was breathing rapidly and pressed for answers.
"I'll do as you say, Elder Jian."
"How should I proceed? Should I continue bothering Junior Brother Lu every day like before?"
"This... the plan has to be adapted. Your junior brother is very prudent; your trip out of the sect has caused trouble for others again..."
"In my opinion, you should focus on Foundation Establishment as soon as you return to your sect!"
"Taking advantage of your status inner disciple, we'll secure some benefits for you, my junior brother... but you mustn't bother us or show your face unnecessarily."
"Also, let's put the matter of sword repair on hold for now."
"Hmm? Why is that?"
Ye Chenfeng was a little taken aback.
He understood everything from the beginning; if he didn't repair the broken sword, he wouldn't be able to get his hands on the treasure.
Even if one wants to curry favor with Junior Brother Lu, shouldn't one at least try to acquire more resources?
"Idiot!"
"That little bit of treasure I acquired was just something I casually left behind before I left Western Continent. At most, I could give you Golden Core. What good would it do to give it away?"
"Right now, the most important thing between you and him is... feelings!"
"After cultivating the flying sword, your Spirit Vein have shattered, and you can no longer stay in this sect. Do you think your junior brother will follow you, or will he roam the world freely on his own?"
"He... he should... come with me, right..."
Ye Chenfeng was somewhat unsure.
I replied, feeling slightly guilty.
"Screw you leaving!"
"Then what does this have to do with sword cultivation?"
"It's a very important matter. If we don't cultivate swordsmanship, the sect will naturally be fine. You two are fellow disciples, so you'll have plenty of opportunities to develop your relationship..."
"If a few more fools dare to provoke your junior brother, you can take advantage of the situation... hehe."
Elder Jian chuckled, his words abruptly ending, the meaning clear.
Ye Chenfeng naturally understood, but for some reason...
He felt something was off.
"I always feel like my actions..."
"It's just like those scenes from those mortal theater performances... except they're all about a man and a woman, why is it like this in mine..."
"Is this... correct, Elder Jian?"
