Chapter 110: What A Pity

Elder, you must Chillwaters Ji Clans Elder Ji Congyun? Fang Chen stood up and greeted the other party. Pardon me for my lack of hospitality.

Ji Congyun eyed Li Daoye before speaking, Are you the one calling the shots in the Fang Clan now? Wheres Fang Zhentian? We met each other once before many years ago, and Id like to reminisce about the past with him.

Our Old Master is ailing in health, so Im afraid he isnt in a good state to meet you. Yes, Im now the decision-maker in our Fang Clan. May I know why youre here? Fang Chen asked.

Its nothing much. I heard from my grandson theres a cultivator in your Fang Manor, and I invited the immortal worshiped by our Ji Clan here to have a chat with him. Ji Congyun turned to Li Daoye and clasped his fist. You must be the immortal from Infernoblaze! Its my honor to meet you.

Before Li Daoye could speak, the Ji Clans cultivator beat him to it, Third stage Ki Refinement. You arent strong, but you arent exactly weak either. What caught your eyethe Fang Clan or Great Xia?

Elder, you have good eyes. May I know what your cultivation level is? Li Daoye asked with a smile.

Ah, Im lacking in talent. Ive cultivated for seventy years now, but Im only at sixth stage Ki Refinement, the Ji Clans cultivator lamented, but there was a hint of glee in his eyes.

It was a formidable feat for a wandering cultivator to reach sixth stage Ki Refinement. That was more than enough for him to claim supremacy in this region. Even in Infernoblaze, he would be considered to be mid-tier.

Sixth stage Ki Refinement? It wont be easy to deal with him. Fear surfaced in Li Daoyes eyes. He instinctively turned to Fang Chen.

Young man, we, cultivators, should be focusing on our cultivation to achieve immortality. Itll be best to steer clear of secular affairs. Has your sects elders not warned you before?

That depends on my mood. Your cultivation might be higher than mine, but youre just a wandering cultivator, right? Li Daoye retorted.

The Ji Clans cultivator stiffened up. He awkwardly asked, Young man, which sect are you from?

Infernoblazes Eight Trigrams Sect, Li Daoye proudly replied.

Eight Trigrams Sect? Ive never heard of it before.

The Ji Clans cultivator breathed a sigh of relief. There was nothing to fear if Li Daoye was only from a minor sect. In fact, there were some minor sects that fared even worse than him. With such a thought in mind, he said with a smile, I might be a wandering cultivator, but someone of my cultivation will receive privileged treatment in Infernoblaze.

He paused for a second before adding, Take my warning to heart. You should leave secular affairs to ordinary mortals, or else a battle between us is inevitable.

When Ji Congyun and the Ji Clans cultivator arrived, he breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly headed over with his Nightmare Knights and greeted them with a bow.

Grandfather, Immortal Zuo. Ji Lengyues attitude was extremely respectful.

One was the Ji Clans Old Master, whereas the other was the immortal worshiped by the Ji Clan. Both were the pillars of their Ji Clan.

Immortal Zuo has already taken a look, and the Fang Manors cultivator pales in comparison to Immortal Zuo. You may proceed with the military exercise without any worries, Ji Congyun said.

Thats wonderful! Ji Lengyue was overjoyed. The heaviness looming in his heart for the last few days finally dissipated. In the end, the Fang Manors cultivator turns out to be weaker than the immortal we worship! This makes things much easier.

A cruel smile formed on Ji Lengyues face. Just you wait, Fang Chen. Ill return the humiliation I suffered in the Palace of Great Peace tenfold to you!

Ill be cultivating now. Call me when its time, Immortal Zuo said before taking his leave.

Shortly after he left, Ji Lengyue asked with a hushed voice, Grandfather, we have worshiped Immortal Zuo for many years now. We found many ki stones and spirit medicine for him, and many of our Clansmen have died obtaining them. When will Immortal Zuo fulfill his promise and impart his cultivation method to us?

Theres no rush. Lets wait a bit more since Immortal Zuo has made us a promise. I dont think Ill live to that day, but you still stand a chance. Otherwise, your offspring would have a chance too, Ji Congyun said with a smile.

How long will that take Ji Congyun murmured. His eyes suddenly turned vicious, and he said, Grandfather, youre a pinnacle Earth Profound martial artist. If you use all your means, you might just be able to rival Immortal Zuo. Why dont we

Lengyue, you have to be patient. If you arent capable of that, I can let your siblings take your position instead. Ji Congyun patted Ji Lengyues shoulders before leaving.

Ji Lengyues face darkened.

Just then, one of the Nightmare Knights came and reported that the Great Xias emperor had invited him into the imperial palace to discuss the upcoming military exercise. The envoys of the other countries had already arrived and were waiting for him.

Fang Chen, who had been watching the scene with his soul, fell into deep thought.

The Ji Clan must have forked out a hefty price to worship Immortal Zuo, else a junior like Ji Lengyue wouldnt have suggested making a move on a cultivator.

The Ji Clan seems to have found a way to acquire ki stones and spirit herbs, though it looks theres some danger in acquiring them Fang Chen murmured.
