Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 75 Senior
In the early morning, the thick fog seemed to be pushed away by an invisible hand, and a boat slowly sailed into the Mihun Bay along the foggy path.

"Uncle Mo, do you think I have good or bad vision?"

Standing at the bow of the boat, looking at the Muyu Island getting closer and closer, Lu Xuanping's expression was quite complicated.

When he first saw that Jiang Chen was not only a martial arts master but also a cultivator of considerable strength, he wanted to make friends with him and gave Jiang Chen the jade token representing his identity. However, he never expected that Jiang Chen would break through the Qi training stage so quickly.

The overlapping identities of a martial arts master and a Qigong cultivator are absolutely rare. There is no such person even in the Lu family. The most important thing is that Jiang Chen had just broken through and tied with his third uncle.

You should know that his third uncle Lu Chenzhou is also a person who practices both magic and martial arts. He practices Qi in the immortal way and is a first-class martial artist. His fighting talent is very good. The ordinary cultivators in the early stage of Qi training are no match for him at all, let alone those who have just broken through.

This shows Jiang Chen's extraordinaryness. The value of being a martial arts master and a Qi-cultivating cultivator is further increasing.

Hearing Lu Xuanping's words, Mo Daoren, who was standing beside him, smiled.

"Your vision is naturally good. With our previous interactions, this negotiation should go smoothly. Not only will we be able to cut off the Gao family's influence, but we'll also be able to bring a Qi-cultivating cultivator with considerable strength and potential into our own camp. It's like killing two birds with one stone."

Picking up the wine gourd and taking a sip of wine, Mo Dao Ren expressed his opinion.

Jiang Chen's sudden rise did indeed exceed the Lu family's expectations, but for now, it was not a bad thing for the Lu family.

Hearing this, Lu Xuanping nodded and said nothing more.

Not long after, Lu Xuanping landed on Muyu Island, and Jiang Chen had already prepared a banquet to entertain Lu Xuanping.

"Lu Xuanping of the Lu family greets the senior."

Looking at Jiang Chen, whose appearance remained the same as if nothing had changed, Lu Xuanping folded his hands and bowed.

At this moment, the complexity in his heart reached its peak. When they first met, he called Jiang Chen "Brother Daoist", but now when they met again, he called him "Senior". The gap between them was difficult to explain to outsiders. He had thought of many scenarios of meeting Jiang Chen before, but he had never thought of this one.

"Brother Lu, there's no need to be so. My last name is Jiang, so you can just call me Brother Jiang. With your talent, it will only take a few years for you to advance to Qi training. We can just be friends as equals. Please take a seat."

With a smile on his face, Jiang Chen made a gesture of invitation, showing his warmth.

Seeing Jiang Chen like this, Lu Xuanping felt better. He was still confident about his own advancement in Qi training.

"I would like to congratulate Brother Dao on his advancement to Qi training. From now on, you will embark on the path to immortality and have a bright future. This is a gift from my Lu family. Please accept it."

Knowing the purpose of his visit, Lu Xuanping quickly suppressed the complexity in his heart and also expressed his goodwill.

Looking at the gift presented by Taoist Mo, Jiang Chen did not refuse and directly asked Shi Tou to accept it. With this link, the atmosphere between the two sides suddenly became harmonious.

"Brother Dao has become a martial arts master and an immortal who has cultivated Qi. This is truly the best thing I have ever seen in my life. It's a pity that my martial arts talent is average, otherwise I would also like to practice martial arts as well."

After three rounds of drinks, Lu Xuanping expressed his inner feelings.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen shook his head.

"I have been training martial arts for twenty years, and cultivating Qi for twenty years. I seem to have become a martial arts master and an immortal through cultivating Qi, but I have wasted my time. Fellow Daoist Lu is still young, and has the Lu family as his support. He is not afraid of the outside world, and it is best for him to concentrate on the immortal path."

As if his heart was touched, Jiang Chen also expressed his feelings.

Hearing this, and looking at Jiang Chen, who exuded a bit of an air of old age, Lu Xuanping's heart was touched.

The Lu family investigated Jiang Chen's situation after Jiang Chen gave away the jade pendant. However, Jiang Chen's network of relationships was too simple, and all they could find out was the years he spent with the Dangjiang Bandits. As for where he came from and how old he was, they knew nothing.

Knowing that Jiang Chen was already in his forties, Lu Xuanping couldn't help but feel a hint of regret. While forty years old was considered quite good for a casual cultivator, it was only good enough. According to the established principles of the immortal cultivation world, advancing to Qi training before the age of thirty was optimal, increasing the potential for building a foundation for the Dao.

Sixty years old is the final deadline for practicing Qi. If a cultivator has not been able to practice Qi after the age of sixty, then there will basically be no possibility of practicing Qi in the future.

Judging from the talent Jiang Chen had shown, if he had not delved into martial arts and concentrated on practicing the way of immortality, even if he was a casual cultivator, he would have had the opportunity to complete Qi training before the age of thirty. But now he was one step short, and this step made a world of difference.

"Thank you for your advice, Brother Dao. Xuanping will keep it in mind."

With a solemn expression, Lu Xuanping bowed solemnly to Jiang Chen.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen waved his hand. His advice to Lu Xuanping was true. For most cultivators who had the conditions, concentrating on the path of immortality was the best choice.

As for his age, it was half true and half false. Although the bone age of his physical body was twenty years old, he had also been struggling in the apocalypse for twenty-seven years, which added up to just over forty years old.

After a brief heart-to-heart talk, Lu Xuanping and Jiang Chen began to talk about business.

"Brother Jiang, the Dangjiang bandits caused such a big fuss before that they have already displeased many people. Now that the Governor's Office has sent troops here, we cannot return empty-handed. The Dangjiang bandits must be wiped out, and Iron Man Butcher must die. This is the bottom line of my Lu family."

His words were full of solemnity. At this moment, Lu Xuanping seemed like a different person. He was no longer an individual, but the representative of the Lu family.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded.

"can!"

Without any hesitation, Jiang Chen expressed his attitude.

Seeing this, Lu Xuanping was stunned. He didn't expect Jiang Chen to agree so readily.

Looking at Lu Xuanping like this, Jiang Chen smiled.

"The Dangjiang Bandits are ultimately not worthy of being on the stage. It's time for them to disappear. As for the Iron Man Slayer, he's already dead."

Jiang Chen added something, hinting at something.

Looking at Jiang Chen like this, Lu Xuanping understood everything. It was obvious that the other party already had similar ideas as the Lu family. With such a tone, the subsequent negotiations between the two sides seemed to be very smooth.

Jiang Chen cooperated with the Governor's Office to stage a drama, destroying the Dangjiang bandits and killing Tie Ren Tu. Afterwards, the Governor's Office would ask the court for help in Jiang Chen's meritorious service in suppressing the bandits, helping him establish a real sect and turning Qinghe County into its sphere of influence.

As for Muyu Island, it still belongs to Jiang Chen, but it has just changed its name.

"Brother Dao, this is a gift my third uncle asked me to give you."

The intention of cooperation was basically reached, and Lu Xuanping handed a list to Jiang Chen. Those were the Dangjiang bandits who had tried to contact the River Governor's Office through various means during this period.

Jiang Chen was not surprised to see such a list. Although he had repelled the River Governor's Office once before, in the eyes of most people, as long as the River Governor's Office was willing to pay the price, the Dangjiang bandits would be eradicated sooner or later. From the beginning to the end, the two sides were not on the same level. After all, the entire Nanjing Kingdom was behind the River Governor's Office.

Under such circumstances, many people naturally had other ideas.

"Thank Commander Lu for me."

Jiang Chen took the list and threw it to Shu Tianjiao who was squatting at his feet and gnawing on a roast chicken, and smiled.

The behavior of these people itself is actually nothing. It is human nature to seek good and avoid evil. The mistake is that they made the wrong choice. As the two men reached a complete agreement, the demise of the Dangjiang bandits became a foregone conclusion.
