Chapter 969: Chapter 53 Arrangements [2 in 1]

There are always people in this world busily seeking treasures.

Take Immortal Qi Jing, for instance.

He had spent half his life searching and seeking, yet often ended up with nothing. He searched for the map of Shenxu Temple for over twenty years, only to discover that he had found just one piece, while Chu Liang had effortlessly found two; he had spent days searching for Water Spirit Ginseng with no luck, while others could simply fall into the water and grab it.

It’s hard to say whether he was lucky or unlucky.

"You did very well this time," Chu Liang patted Attendant B on the shoulder, "You really helped a lot."

But Attendant B cautiously stepped back, guarding his treasure, "I dug these up myself."

"Those spirit plants aren’t of much use in your hands. Just give them to me, and I will compensate you at market price," Chu Liang persuaded.

"Oh, you want spirit plants," Attendant B finally breathed a sigh of relief and handed over the Water Spirit Ginseng, "I thought you were after my Chilantry vegetables?"

"..." Chu Liang was speechless for a moment; could he even have a normal person among his subordinates, who would fancy your two cartloads of wild vegetables?

Immortal Qi Jing took the Water Spirit Ginseng and examined it for a while, sighing, "This object fell from the heavens and has survived in the Mortal Realm, achieving over seventy thousand years of cultivation. In another thirty thousand years, it could have become godly. Sadly, due to a momentary impulse, I must destroy its cultivation. If there were any other way, I truly would not wish to do this."

It was indeed Yang Buwei’s warning that made him realize the crisis, that having a Divine Artifact alone might not be enough, and so he thought of the Water Spirit Ginseng.

"Thank you," he said solemnly to Attendant B, "What Chu Liang gives you is from Chu Liang, and I owe you a huge favor."

Saying this, he turned to Chu Liang, "For this trip to Shenxu Temple, the help you provided was immeasurable... I really have nothing to offer you. Once I rescue my wife, we shall return to Shu Mountain and find a way to repay you then."

"Hey," Chu Liang waved his hand and smiled, "We’re all family, why say such things."

"Each matter should be settled separately; if Yue Bai no longer likes you later, I won’t use my daughter’s happiness for favors, we need to be clear about these matters," Immortal Qi Jing earnestly said.

"Of course," Chu Liang nodded.

But at the same time, he privately muttered to himself, feeling that it was more likely that Jiangjiang did not want to acknowledge you as a father.

"With the Water Spirit Ginseng, I am confident in reaching The Peak of the Eighth Realm. Even if I enter Shenxu Temple alone, I might have a chance to save her." Immortal Qi Jing said to Chen Erniu, Jiang Yuebai, and Chu Liang, "You all don’t need to assist me anymore."

"No way," three of them said in unison.

"This is my own matter and should not involve you," Immortal Qi Jing said.

Originally, he wanted to gather more help, but since the last warning, he realized that his judgment of Shenxu Temple was still insufficient, and now might actually endanger his loved ones.

This was not what he wished for.

"Both of them can stay, but I must go," Chen Erniu said, "The younger generation can stand back, but I personally promised I would help, and after you helped me regenerate my physical body, how could I break my word?"

"I bear responsibility for the destruction of your physical body, and now that I’ve helped you regenerate it, yet cannot help you regain the great path, I still feel guilty," Immortal Qi Jing said, "How can I let you take risks?"

"No more words are needed." Western Sea Sword Emperor held Immortal Qi Jing’s shoulder, "From the beginning to the end, I’ve considered you my good friend, and watching you go alone is absolutely not what I wish."

"They two can stay, but I must go," Jiang Yuebai also said, "Everyone else might be outsiders, but not me. I was born without parents and took many years to find your whereabouts; now, even if it means death, I wish to die alongside my parents."

"You are still young, and your cultivation is not complete; there’s no need..." Immortal Qi Jing again tried to dissuade them.

"When is cultivation considered complete? It’s merely a matter of determination," Jiang Yuebai said lightly.

"They both can stay, but I must go," Chu Liang added, "I can fight in the Eighth Realm."

Hmm?

This statement, concise yet profound, stirred a thousand waves with a single stone, as the other three looked over, each with a disbelief filled awe.

Chen Erniu was a sword dao genius, walking out from Suspended Sword Country and reaching the pinnacle of Jue Yun Sword Technique over decades; Jiang Tiankuo was an unrivaled genius, having an Immortal Spirit Body and taking decades from starting his cultivation to mastering the great path; Jiang Yuebai was a cultivation genius, only newly entered into the Seventh Realm, and already a leader among his peers.

And before them stood this young man, barely of age, yet claiming he already possessed Eighth Realm Combat abilities.

Was that reasonable?

"Don’t overexert yourself, this matter is no trivial matter," Immortal Qi Jing said.

"Concerning Jiangjiang’s matter, I naturally will not neglect it," Chu Liang smiled and stretched out his palm, "The Penglai Green Dragon Daoist died by my hand; whether my cultivation is true or false, you will know once you test it."

Seeing that he did not seem to be feigning, Immortal Qi Jing immediately pushed out a palm, his hand full of spiritual light, filled with surging True Qi. This was the most pure cultivation power; if the True Qi did not reach the same level, one would immediately be repulsed, but not injured.

But a flash of Palm Thunder shone in Chu Liang’s palm, and with a light push, bang!

A muffled sound. Facing Immortal Qi Jing’s vast cultivation, Chu Liang did not step back at all, completely withstanding it. Although Immortal Qi Jing certainly did not use his full strength, Chu Liang’s cultivation clearly reached the level of Tianyuan.
