SPMT : Chapter 132

Chen Lifeng arrives

 

Xiao Xiaofan’s eyes gleamed as he asked Chen Xu, “I heard your grandfather is a Nascent Soul cultivator?”

 

Chen Xu, feeling slightly nervous under Xiao Xiaofan’s gaze, nodded and replied, “Yes, my grandfather is a Nascent Soul cultivator.”

 

“I heard Nascent Soul cultivators can live up to two thousand years!” Xiao Xiaofan exclaimed, holding up two fingers.

 

Chen Xu nodded again, letting out a soft sigh internally. He thought about his own situation: being a three-spirit-root cultivator, it was very difficult to form a core. If he couldn’t form a core, he would only live to around two hundred years at most, and he might even die before his grandfather.

 

“Your grandfather must be quite wealthy,” Xiao Xiaofan said with eager anticipation.

 

Chen Xu nodded, “I suppose you could say he’s wealthy.” His grandfather was indeed a Nascent Soul cultivator. Although not the richest among Nascent Soul cultivators, compared to Golden Core cultivators, he was definitely considered wealthy.

 

Xiao Xiaofan grabbed Chen Xu’s arm and earnestly said, “When we meet your grandfather, ask him to give me a couple of life-saving artifacts!”

 

Chen Xu nodded, “Alright.”

 

Xiao Xiaofan smiled happily, shaking Chen Xu’s hand, “You must ask your grandfather to give me more artifacts! I’m really afraid of dying.”

 

Chen Xu, unable to refuse Xiao Xiaofan’s persistence, had to nod again, “Alright.”

 

Satisfied with Chen Xu’s agreement, Xiao Xiaofan felt content.

 

Xiao Xiaodong rolled his eyes at Xiao Xiaofan, thinking to himself: My brother is such an idiot.

 

 

“Senior brother, how’s the situation outside?” Xiao Xiaodong eagerly asked Li Liang when he saw him.

 

“I heard a mine vein outside has an ancient treasure,” Li Liang replied.

 

Xiao Jingting squinted his eyes. An ancient treasure was something even Nascent Soul cultivators coveted. To think there was such a thing in this mine, its value far exceeding that of top-grade spirit stones.

 

“Who got the ancient treasure?” Xiao Xiaofan asked curiously.

 

Li Liang shook his head, “No one has it yet. It’s immovable.”

 

“Immovable?” Xiao Xiaofan asked in confusion.

 

Li Liang nodded, “Yes, it’s sealed with a barrier that hasn’t been broken yet, so it can’t be moved.”

 

Xiao Xiaofan, somewhat gloating, said, “I see! Let those old monsters worry about that.”

 

“I have some good news,” Li Liang said excitedly.

 

“What is it?” Xiao Xiaofan asked with excitement.

 

“With all the commotion on the island, the news should have spread out. Maybe the sect will send people to rescue us,” Li Liang said hopefully.

 

Xiao Xiaodong sneered. He had little faith in Qingyun Immortal Sect. The sect had first allowed the old monster Bai Lizheng to try and possess Xiaofan, then had Xiaofan act as cannon fodder in this mission. Xiao Xiaodong had no fond feelings for such a sect.

 

“Junior Brother Xiao, where did the chicken come from?” Li Liang asked, swallowing hard.

 

“It ran in from the forest outside,” Xiao Xiaodong replied.

 

“Junior Brother Xiao, you’re really lucky! Even if it’s small, it’s still a chance to eat some meat,” Li Liang said enviously. Since arriving at this forsaken place, he hadn’t had a proper meal.

 

Xiao Xiaodong: “…” His contracted beast was fierce. He dared not eat it.

 

Xiao Xiaodong’s chicken lay on its back, casting a disdainful glance at Li Liang, ignoring him.

 

Li Liang took some spirit stones from Xiao Xiaodong as usual, exchanging them for information. This had become a mutually understood transaction between them.

 

Xiao Jingting looked at the chicken lying on the ground and asked, “Xiaodong, is there something wrong with your contracted beast? Why is it lying like that?”

 

Xiao Xiaodong shook his head, “It seems to be sleeping.”

 

Xiao Jingting was puzzled, “Sleeping? Shouldn’t chickens sleep in their coops or stand on one leg, with the other leg tucked into their feathers and their heads turned into their wings?”

 

Xiao Xiaodong shook his head again, “I don’t know, it just likes to sleep this way.”

 

Xiao Jingting sighed, “What a unique chicken…”

 

The little flower chicken closed its eyes, looking despairingly at Xiao Jingting.

 

 

“When will your grandfather arrive?” Xiao Xiaodong asked Chen Xu.

 

Chen Xu thought for a moment, “He should be here tomorrow.”

 

Xiao Xiaodong nodded, “I see.” He thought to himself: Once Chen Lifeng arrives, the situation on the island will probably become even more chaotic.

 

In fact, Chen Lifeng arrived earlier than Chen Xu had anticipated. Once Chen Xu could use his spiritual power, he had a sense of connection with Chen Lifeng.

 

Chen Lifeng had almost gone mad searching for Chen Xu after he disappeared. Upon receiving Chen Xu’s message, Chen Lifeng immediately rushed over.

 

Xiao Jingting and the others were awakened from their sleep. Xiao Xiaodong’s little flower chicken, usually full of swagger, immediately shrank back and hid behind Xiao Xiaodong, trying to curl itself into a ball upon seeing Chen Lifeng.

 

“Grandpa!” Chen Xu called out as he rushed into Chen Lifeng’s arms.

 

Xiao Xiaofan watched and thought: My brother always says I’m clingy, but Chen Xu is clingy too, and he’s older than me.

 

“Xu’er, are you alright?” Chen Lifeng asked.

 

Chen Xu nodded, “Grandfather, I’m fine. Thanks to their help, otherwise, I might not have seen you again.” Chen Xu pointed at Xiao Xiaodong and the others.

 

Chen Lifeng’s eyes swept over Lei Xuan and the others.

 

“You must be from the Lei family,” Chen Lifeng said, looking at Lei Xuan.

 

The presence of a Nascent Soul cultivator like Chen Lifeng immediately dispelled any sleepiness among the group. Facing someone who could cause earth-shattering changes with a wave of his hand, none of them dared to be sleepy anymore.

 

Lei Xuan nodded, “Yes, I am Lei Xuan. Greetings, Senior Chen.”

 

“Not bad,” Chen Lifeng said simply.

 

Lei Xuan, feeling honored, replied, “Thank you for your praise, Senior.”

 

“And you must be Xiao Xiaofan?” Chen Lifeng asked.

 

Xiao Xiaofan, who had caused quite a stir when joining Qingyun Immortal Sect due to his single spiritual root, nodded, “Yes, that’s me.”

 

Chen Lifeng casually probed Xiao Xiaofan’s spiritual sea, then suddenly laughed, “No wonder that old man Bai Lizheng met his end. He deserved it!”

 

Xiao Jingting’s heart sank. He thought: Chen Lifeng must have discovered something; otherwise, he wouldn’t say this. These Nascent Soul old monsters are really troublesome.

 

Xiao Xiaofan looked at Chen Lifeng in confusion, while Chen Lifeng, seeing his expression, felt puzzled himself.

 

“Grandfather, let’s leave this place first. It feels really uncomfortable here,” Chen Xu said.

 

Chen Lifeng nodded, “Alright.”

 

With Chen Lifeng leading the way, none of the cultivators dared to stop them. In fact, some unlucky ones, unable to escape in time, were dealt with by Chen Lifeng. Seeing how emaciated and haggard Chen Xu looked, Chen Lifeng was already fuming with anger. He naturally wouldn’t show mercy to those seeking trouble.

 

Even a few Golden Core cultivators who came to investigate were eliminated by Chen Lifeng.

 

Following Chen Lifeng, Xiao Xiaofan felt secretly pleased. Even though he was just basking in someone else’s glory, it felt good to instantly turn the tables and become the master.

 

Xiao Jingting, watching Chen Lifeng’s unstoppable demeanor, couldn’t help but feel stirred. The bearing of a Nascent Soul cultivator was truly extraordinary. He hoped that one day he could reach such a level.

 

Chen Lifeng, still fuming, killed three Golden Core cultivators in a row, finally drawing out an old monster at the Nascent Soul stage from the Blood Demon Sect.

 

 

“Brother Chen, what is the meaning of this?” the old monster from the Blood Demon Sect, the Red Demon Daoist, asked as he appeared.

 

Chen Lifeng, furious, replied, “What is the meaning? I should be asking you! How dare the Blood Demon Sect kidnap my grandson to dig in a mine!”

 

The Red Demon Daoist, seeing Chen Xu by Chen Lifeng’s side, cursed inwardly. Although the Blood Demon Sect had captured many Foundation Establishment cultivators, they avoided those with strong backgrounds. The Nascent Soul cultivators on the island were more interested in the treasures than the captured cultivators.

 

The Red Demon Daoist never imagined Chen Lifeng’s beloved grandson would be on the island.

 

He cursed his subordinates for their incompetence. If they had known, they should have dealt with or returned Chen Xu early on. Nobody wanted to offend someone like Chen Lifeng, whether from the righteous path or the demonic path.

 

“Fellow Daoist Chen, it’s all a misunderstanding. How about this, I’ll give this artifact as an apology to your grandson,” the Red Demon Daoist offered.

 

Xiao Jingting looked at the apology in the hands of the Red Devil Taoist, and his eyes could not help but shine. This is a top-level magic weapon!

 

Having a Nascent Soul grandfather was truly different. A few days of mining and they received a top-grade artifact. Even though Chen Xu, as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, couldn’t use such a high-level artifact due to his limited spiritual power, he could still sell it for money!

 

“You think my grandson’s life is worth just one top-grade artifact?” Chen Lifeng sneered.

 

The Red Demon Daoist, embarrassed, said, “Of course not. This is just to calm your grandson.”

 

“No need, my grandson doesn’t lack that,” Chen Lifeng coldly replied.

 

Xiao Jingting admired Chen Lifeng’s stance. A true senior expert’s demeanor – dismissing a top-grade artifact without hesitation.

 

The Red Demon Daoist, awkward, forced a smile, “Naturally, naturally.”

 

After failing to appease Chen Lifeng, the Red Demon Daoist left in defeat.

 

Xiao Jingting and the others followed Chen Lifeng off the island. Not long after they left, a great battle broke out, triggering a restriction that caused the entire island to sink into the lake. Apart from the Nascent Soul and a few Golden Core cultivators, almost everyone else perished.

 

Luckily, Xiao Jingting and the others left early and escaped with their lives.

 

After staying at Chen Lifeng’s place for a few days, Chen Lifeng personally escorted Xiao Xiaofan, Lei Xuan, and Xiao Xiaodong back to Qingyun Immortal Sect, instructing the sect to take good care of them.

 

With Chen Lifeng’s direct intervention, the sect had no choice but to treat them with special care.
