296: spineless

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen was a little puzzled.

“Who are the eight prodigies of the central province?”

Li Cheng chuckled and said, “You can ask Liu Ruyan about these things later. Time is pressing, so I’ll take the Saintess back first.”

Lu Xingchen said softly, “Miss Yun Li, we’re about to part, do you want a kiss?”

Yun Li put her hands on her hips and chided, “Big Strong One, you only know how to take advantage of me!”

Lu Xingchen scratched his head, just about to continue his offensive, when Yun Li pounced on him.

It was a pity, he was just about to stick out his tongue when Yun Li broke free and left.

“You big pervert, I’ll leave you something to remember me by!”

With that, Yun Li and Li Cheng flew away from the place.

Lu Xingchen waved at her, then landed on the ground.

The two Elders then came over.

Li Fa cupped his hands and bowed to Lu Xingchen, his voice full of reverence.

“I’ve heard of the Thunder Prison Sect, it’s one of the Ninth-Rank Sects in the Central Continent Middle Region, and there’s a Saint overseeing it. Li Cheng’s strength has already reached Eight-Star Martial Venerable, comparable to our Liang Yi Sect’s Sect Master. For Peak Master Lu to be able to contend with him for so long is simply terrifying!”

Lu Xingchen chuckled, “It was just luck.”

Lu Xingchen didn't feel anything about Li Fa's praise, because he didn't care.

Li Fa continued, “Why did Li Cheng leave after fighting for a while?”

Lu Xingchen chuckled, “He saw that my wife has good talent, so he took her back to the Thunder Prison Sect to Cultivate. From now on, the Thunder Prison Sect and the Lingyun Sect will be allies.”

Hearing this, both of them were greatly surprised.

Ever since Jiang Taishen left, the Lingyun Sect had been in turmoil, constantly facing the danger of being annexed.

But ever since Lu Dazhuang returned, the Lingyun Sect’s situation actually began to improve.

First, there was the “poji pill” seizing the Medicinal Pill market in Wangshu City, and now they had allied with the Thunder Prison Sect.

With the Thunder Prison Sect as their backing, the Lingyun Sect could definitely experience a second spring.

This Lu Dazhuang really was a Divine Being!

Li Fa smiled and said, “No wonder Senior Jiang Taishen made an exception to take him as a Disciple, Young Friend Lu really does have ability!”

Li Zong also complimented, “With Young Friend Lu overseeing the Lingyun Sect, it will certainly usher in a second spring!”

Lu Xingchen chuckled, “It was just luck.”

“Oh, right, I have ten poji pills (extreme breaking pills) here. To thank you two for speaking up to help just now, I’ll split them between you!”

Hearing this, the two were once again shocked.

The Lingyun Sect’s sale of poji pills (extreme breaking pills) had just begun, with only a small number of Medicinal Pills circulating between auction houses and allied Sects.

For this Lu Dazhuang to be able to produce ten poji pills (extreme breaking pills) at once, he really was wealthy!

Li Fa couldn't help but ask, “Young Friend Lu, the Pill Formula for the Lingyun Sect’s poji pill, it couldn’t be provided by you, could it? Otherwise, how could you casually produce so many?”

Lu Xingchen chuckled, “It was just luck.”

Hearing Lu Xingchen admit it, the two looked at him with even greater reverence.

With Lu Xingchen's help, the Lingyun Sect would surely become stronger and stronger.

When they returned to the Sect, they must report to the Sect Master and change their attitude towards the Lingyun Sect!

The two accepted the Medicinal Pills, then each found an open space, sat down, and rested.

Lu Xingchen also found an open space, set up a seventh-rank defensive Spirit Formation around it, then sat down and circulated the “Taiyi Soul Art”.

Although Cultivating here was not as good as in the Soul Nurturing Tower, it was better than nothing.

Drops of water can penetrate stone; to improve one's strength, one must take it one step at a time.

Just like that, Lu Xingchen stayed outside the Martial Venerable Secret Realm for five days.

Five days later, the Disciples of the three Sects flew out of the Secret Realm one after another.

The five Saints of the Lingyun Sect were all in order; except for Li Yuechang, whose clothes were a bit disheveled, the other four showed no abnormalities.

However, the Disciples of the Liang Yi Sect and the Chiyan Sect were somewhat disheveled, with bloodstains on their bodies, and many had bruised and swollen faces.

Lu Xingchen chuckled, “Looking at you all, you must have gained a lot, right?”

Li Yuechang chuckled, “It’s alright, everyone got something.”

Lu Xingchen said softly, “Then why are you so disheveled, Li Yuechang?”

Li Yuechang said with a smile, “It’s nothing, it’s just that the Disciples of the Liang Yi Sect and the Chiyan Sect teamed up and fought with us, trying to snatch our things. I just beat them up.”

Xiong Chumo, the Saint of Spirit Medicine Peak, said softly, “We really have to thank Senior Brother Li Yuechang this time. The Word Spirit ‘Sword Control’ is truly too strong in his hands! He alone controlled dozens of spirit swords, chasing and beating all the Disciples of the Liang Yi Sect. If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t have won so easily.”

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen raised his eyebrows slightly.

This Li Yuechang really was a troublemaker!

Before, when he followed Elder Li He, he killed a Disciple of the Yinkui Sect; when he took office, he actively provoked; and now, he had conflicts with the Disciples of the Liang Yi Sect and the Chiyan Sect.

It seemed he got restless if he didn't fight for a day.

But it didn't matter, Lu Xingchen liked his uninhibited personality.

As a Saint of a Peak, he should be strong, so that the Disciples he takes in can gain the greatest benefits.

If he wasn't a troublemaker, Lu Xingchen wouldn't even want him.

Lu Xingchen patted Li Yuechang’s shoulder and said with a smile, “You did well, kid. I’ll give you an extra reward when we get back.”

Hearing this, a look of joy appeared on Li Yuechang’s face, and he bowed to Lu Xingchen.

“Thank you, Peak Master!”

On the other side, the Disciples of the Liang Yi Sect and the Chiyan Sect also told the two Elders about the situation.

According to them, all the benefits of this Secret Realm trip were taken by Li Yuechang; not only did they gain nothing, but they were also beaten up.

Some Disciples with ulterior motives even incited the two Elders to attack Lu Xingchen.

But immediately after, Li Fa brought five Disciples to Lu Xingchen.

He cupped his hands and bowed to Lu Xingchen, saying softly, “Peak Master Lu, these young lads said they offended the Disciples of the Lingyun Sect in the Martial Venerable Secret Realm. I apologize on their behalf here!”

Hearing this, the Disciples of the Liang Yi Sect were dumbfounded.

Huh?

We were the ones who got beaten, and Elder, you’re still apologizing to Lu Xingchen?

Isn’t that too spineless?

Lu Xingchen waved his hand and chuckled, “It’s nothing, it’s normal for Disciples to have some friction. Appropriate combat is beneficial for improving strength. As long as the Disciples of the Lingyun Sect are unharmed, it’s not a big deal.”

Lu Xingchen’s implication was: if the Disciples of the Lingyun Sect were harmed, he would definitely pursue the matter!

Li Fa understood this, but still dared not say more, only chuckling, “It’s good that Peak Master Lu doesn’t mind. In that case, I’ll take these young ones and leave first. If there’s a chance in the future, you’re welcome to visit the Liang Yi Sect.”

Lu Xingchen waved his hand and chuckled, “Elder Li Fa, take care. I will definitely visit to bother you in the future!”

Only then did Li Fa relax, and he left with the five Disciples.

Immediately after, Li Zong also brought his Disciples to apologize to Lu Xingchen.

The ones who got beaten were also the ones apologizing; the Disciples of the Chiyan Sect felt bitter in their hearts, but dared not disobey Li Zong’s orders.
