64: Chapter 64: Being a second-generation cultivator is a stepping stone to resources.

Jin Fugui chuckled and took out a familiar cyan invitation from his space ring.

"Brother Tian and Brother Xin, are you confused about receiving this invitation to the Pill Viewing Assembly?"

"Big Brother Jin, you have one too?" Xiao Tian was delighted.

Jin Fugui laughed, "Of course I do. For banquets like these, whether I plan to attend or not, they must send me one. That is the importance of status."

Su Xin had only heard about how Second Generation Cultivators lived, but now that he was seeing it firsthand, realizing that he had obtained an "Opportunity" that many others begged for just by using a title, his feelings were complicated.

Yes, an Opportunity!

The Pill Viewing Assembly could also be considered an Opportunity.

Many Medicinal Pills that were hard to buy in the outside world would appear at the Pill Viewing Assembly.

Su Xin had already opened the invitation to look; among the list of Medicinal Pills, there was the supreme grade spirit cleansing pill!

Listing the rare Medicinal Pills that would appear at the Pill Viewing Assembly in advance was likely so that the Second Generation Cultivators could see what they needed and attend if necessary.

The identity of a Second Generation Cultivator could be called the stepping stone to resources in the Cultivation World!

Jin Fugui said, "Uncle, my two younger brothers, this Pill Viewing Assembly will feature the supreme grade spirit cleansing pill; it is not to be missed!"

Luo Yunkai raised an eyebrow and opened the invitation. Among the dense list of Medicinal Pill names, he saw the five characters for the supreme grade spirit cleansing pill at a glance.

With a "snap," he closed the invitation, "We're going!"

Jin Fugui folded his gold fan, "I knew it!"

"Uncle, when do you plan to leave?"

Luo Yunkai furrowed his brow, "Dan City..."

Jin Fugui understood instantly and naturally continued, "Dan City is three hundred million li away from Yunyin City. If we take a Golden Core flying beast, it will only take five days."

"However, if you don't mind, Uncle, you can take my flying boat, and we can arrive in three days."

Luo Yunkai: "That's too embarrassing; it would be a bother to have you run this trip with us."

Jin Fugui waved his gold fan, "Uncle, you don't need to feel embarrassed. I was planning to go anyway."

"Huh?" Xiao Tian was surprised, "Big Brother Jin, are you still short of Medicinal Pills?"

He still remembered the full space ring of Medicinal Pills that Jin Fugui had.

Jin Fugui shook his head, "Not at all. This time, I'm going to watch the show."

The corners of his mouth turned up, revealing an expression of someone ready to watch a good show.

Xiao Tian was curious, "What show?"

Jin Fugui could barely suppress the corners of his mouth, "Watching the City Lord of Dan City and his daughter compete against each other."

"Huh?"

The others in the courtyard all let out sounds of surprise.

Jin Fugui glanced at Luo Yunkai and suddenly thought of Chen Xuanfeng's identity. Was this... not appropriate?

Luo Yunkai coughed lightly, "Speak freely."

Having received permission, Jin Fugui had no more reservations and said directly, "The purpose of the City Lord of Dan City holding this Pill Viewing Assembly is to publicly reveal Chen Xuanfeng's identity."

"For all these years, because of his mother, Chen Xuanfeng has been excluded from the circle of Second Generation Cultivators."

"His mother said it herself: what right does an illegitimate child have to call himself a Second Generation Cultivator? She doesn't acknowledge him and finds him shameful!"

Jin Fugui glanced cautiously at Luo Yunkai as he said this.

Luo Yunkai had no expression.

"Continue."

Jin Fugui withdrew his gaze and gave a dry laugh, "In the Cultivation World, there isn't really a concept of illegitimate children, but since his own mother doesn't acknowledge him, the City Lord of Dan City naturally favors his daughter over his grandson. Chen Xuanfeng's identity is naturally very awkward."

"Then why does the City Lord of Dan City suddenly want to acknowledge his grandson now?" Luo Yunkai's voice was very calm.

Jin Fugui's voice grew quieter, "Because Zhong Ziqi of the Yun Shang Sect acknowledged the Second Generation Cultivator status of Brother Tian and Brother Xin."

Xiao Tian pointed at himself, "How does that involve us?"

Jin Fugui said frankly, "Of course it involves you. In a sense, you two are also illegitimate children!"

"If even you two can enter the circle of Second Generation Cultivators..." Jin Fugui hurriedly said, "Of course, I'm not saying you are bad."

"With the wealth that Uncle has displayed, sooner or later someone will inevitably invite you into the Second Generation circle. After all, Spirit Stones are also a type of cultivation resource."

"What I mean is, Chen Xuanfeng, the grandson of the dignified City Lord of Dan City, certainly has more resources at his disposal than you do right now."

Jin Fugui shook his head at this, "Otherwise, do you really think Zhong Ziqi gave you such a generous gift so easily just because you have amazing talent and infinite potential, and he didn't want to offend you and be retaliated against later?"

"If you really think he is that shallow, you are underestimating him!"

"Zhong Ziqi, he saw that you have some blemishes and an upbringing that might not even qualify you for the status of Second Generation Cultivator, so he was offering a stepping stone to the City Lord of Dan City!"

"Look, didn't the City Lord of Dan City take it?"

Xiao Tian summarized, "So, we refreshed the lower limit of Second Generation Cultivators, is that what you mean?"

Jin Fugui choked, "Although it's hurtful, it is indeed the truth."

Xiao Tian looked at the sky speechlessly, his fists clenched tight.

This feeling really sucks!

Luo Yunkai was silent for a long time before slowly standing up.

"Since she is unwilling to acknowledge her son, I will!"

Xiao Tian and Su Xin looked at Luo Yunkai with shining eyes.

"It's just the status of a Second Generation Cultivator; heh, why would we need them, father and daughter, to bestow it upon us!"

A glint of gratification flashed in Jin Fugui's eyes.

He knew so much about Chen Xuanfeng's affairs because, after learning about the entanglement between his own father and that Young Miss Chen Shuangfei, he had paid more attention and discovered that he and Chen Xuanfeng could be considered companions in misfortune.

In fact, he had always felt that Chen Xuanfeng was even more pitiful than him.

He at least had a mother who loved him wholeheartedly, whereas Chen Xuanfeng had no father to love him and was despised by his own mother.

Now, Chen Xuanfeng had a father who loved him.

Jin Fugui thought to himself: When I see that guy Chen Xuanfeng, I'll make him kowtow to me hard!

Fifty miles outside Dan City, Wind Cliff Mountain.

"Audacious Marauding Cultivator! How dare you rob a Cultivator!"

With a sharp shout, a cyan sword beam pierced through the air and slashed down towards the Marauding Cultivator below.

"Swish!"

"Ah!"

An arm was thrown high into the air, and blood poured like a fountain from the bowl-sized wound.

The arm fell onto the withered leaves, not far from the Marauding Cultivator.

The Marauding Cultivator dared not pick it up; he knelt on the ground with a "thud" and began kowtowing "thud, thud" towards a tree directly in front of him.

"Spare my life, Young Master Chen, spare my life! This lowly one was confused for a moment; I will never dare to do it again!"

At the top of the tree where the Marauding Cultivator was kowtowing, a person in white stood in the air, his feet resting on the tips of the leaves.

He wore a Scabbard at his waist, one hand behind his back, and the other hand forming a seal. The long sword that had severed the arm hummed and automatically returned to the Scabbard.

Chen Xuanfeng had intended to say a few more words to persuade the person to turn over a new leaf, but suddenly he felt his knees go weak, and he nearly fell from the treetop in an unseemly manner.

His heart pounded with fright.

Fortunately, he steadied himself; falling down would be too embarrassing!

Chen Xuanfeng steadied his figure and coughed lightly, "Alright, considering this is your first offense, I won't hold it against you this time. Go!"

"Thank you, Young Master Chen, for sparing my life! This lowly one will definitely turn over a new leaf and start life anew!"

The Marauding Cultivator kowtowed two more times with "thud, thud" sounds, picked up his severed arm, and fled quickly.

The Cultivator who had almost been robbed seemed to have just regained his senses. He stared at Chen Xuanfeng's back as he flew away on his sword and muttered loudly.

"Is this Young Master Chen of the Unparalleled Sword? Truly extraordinary demeanor and superb swordsmanship. Such a person must be a Prodigy of the Sword Dao that only appears once in a hundred years! He is a natural Sword Cultivator!"

The wind carried the muttering of the rescued Cultivator, and Chen Xuanfeng tried very hard to suppress the corners of his mouth from turning up.

Damn mouth, hold it in, don't laugh!
