The Leisurely Life of a Young Man in the World of Cultivation

It wasn't that Lu Changfeng was heartless to say this; after such a distressing incident, he was about to turn around and try to swindle someone out of money.

We've done everything we can; the rest is up to them.

As for the division of profits, that was purely due to Bai Hua taking 100 top-grade spirit stones from Ye Tian.

He's already at the Nascent Soul stage, so even top-grade spirit stones wouldn't be of much help to him. After all, how could someone of this caliber possibly be bought with spirit stones?

But Bai Hua still asked for the spirit stones, so his purpose in wanting them was self-evident.

As expected, Bai Hua sent a message soon after.

"Master, let's be reasonable! The cultivation technique is mine, and you're just asking for a share without even asking. That's going too far!"

"I'll only give you one floor at most!"

Unfortunately, Lu Changfeng was quite unhappy with this result.

"Disciple, what can one-tenth do? Speaking of which, you only comprehended this technique with my help, right? I don't want it all; splitting it 50/50 isn't unreasonable, is it?"

"Good heavens, Master, splitting it 50/50 isn't too much, 15% is!"

"Forty-five percent!"

……

After a heated debate between the two, the figure was finally settled at 25%.

After putting his phone away, Lu Changfeng smiled with satisfaction.

Two and a half of one hundred top-grade spirit stones is 25 stones, which translates to 250 billion in-game currency. While the number may not sound appealing, it's useful as long as it works.

At this point, no amount of feudal superstition will work!

At that moment, Ma Changshou also came over.

"Hey, Lu-ge, what were you talking about just now? You were laughing so happily, did you eat bee poop?!"

In response to his criticism, Lu Changfeng couldn't help but give him the middle finger.

"Damn it, what bee droppings? It's just about earning spirit stones!"

"By the way, what's the situation with Ye Tian? Is his cultivation technique working?"

After obtaining the cultivation technique, Ye Tian went into seclusion to test it, so he doesn't know the situation yet!

Speaking of this, Ma Changshou shrugged.

"How would I know? But based on my guess, it's highly unlikely!"

"Given my senior brother's physique, he'd need to be able to circulate the cultivation technique at least first if he wanted to practice it!"

Lu Changfeng largely agreed with Ma Changshou's guess, but he felt that while this guess might be accurate for ordinary people, it might not be accurate for Ye Tian.

boom!

The next moment, the aura of Ye Tian, ​​who was at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, suddenly erupted from the side hall.

Upon seeing this, Ma Changshou was so shocked that his mouth dropped open.

"Holy crap, it's actually running!"

"No, why is that?!"

Unfortunately, no one can answer this question for him now, but Lu Changfeng has noticed a clue.

"Hiss, as expected of the chosen one, he's already grasped it?"

In the world of cultivation, this kind of person is the most cunning. They may appear to be injured, but in reality, they have achieved enlightenment!

A few days later, Ye Tian finally finished his seclusion, and Hai Zaiyun immediately helped him out.

Compared to when he first went in, his face was deathly pale, but now, although still pale, it was much better than before.

At that moment, Ma Changshou immediately went over and placed Ye Tian on the prayer mat before he couldn't help but ask,

"Hiss, Senior Brother, what's going on? Weren't you supposed to be unable to use your internal energy for a year?"

However, Ye Tian couldn't help but laugh.

"Under normal circumstances, I really can't circulate my internal energy, but by combining my nephew Bai Hua's techniques with my own physique, I successfully comprehended a special state!"

"Simply put, I have two cultivation levels, so I isolated the other one and constructed a separate, functional virtual body for it."

"Now you can circulate your cultivation technique! Simple, right?"

Upon hearing Ye Tian's explanation, not only Ma Changshou, but even Lu Changfeng couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Good heavens! He exclaimed, "Good heavens!"

What does it mean to construct a separate, functional virtual body?

This seems logically sound, but it's actually like running a virtual machine on a broken computer and succeeding—that's utter nonsense.

So after hearing the last part, Lu Changfeng and Ma Changshou remained silent for a long time before giving each other a thumbs up.

What else can I say? Awesome!

"Um, senior brother, in that case, will you be able to recover on your own?"

It is important to know that once you can properly activate your spiritual power, your recovery speed will increase significantly.

Unfortunately, Ye Tian shook his head.

"It still doesn't work. Although I can circulate my cultivation technique, it's like a house without a foundation. It might work in calm weather, but it's always at risk of collapsing when a storm hits!"

"However, this is equivalent to constructing the foundation and walls simultaneously, which multiplies the recovery speed!"

"So we'll need your help from now on!"

Lu Changfeng and Ma Changshou had no objections to this. Although it wasn't as easy as they had hoped, it was good that Ye Tian could recover faster.

Once he recovers, he will definitely go out and cause trouble for Xuan Yujing, and then Tianxing Sect will be safe.

"Alright, we'll be going now. We'll come back in a couple of days to examine you!"

Actually, the diagnosis could have been handed over to Ma Changshou, since he also possessed the Azure Lotus Longevity Body. However, this guy insisted on minimizing any flaws during the recovery process, so he left it to me.

Otherwise, he would have been lying around slacking off long ago.

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Except for the first year when Lu Changfeng and Ma Changshou needed to come and treat him, he recovered on his own for the remaining four years after he was able to circulate his internal energy.

But today is different.

"Senior brother, senior brother!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Tian, ​​who was picking fruit in the orchard behind the Worry-Free Immortal Island, looked at the two with a wary expression.

"What are you two doing here? Let me tell you, don't even think about wreaking havoc on my orchard!"

As he spoke, he slapped away the two restless hands.

Seeing Ye Tian's possessive attitude towards his food, Lu Changfeng and Ma Changshou couldn't help but purse their lips.

"Tsk tsk tsk, senior brother, it's just a little bit of your fruit, how stingy!"

Lu Changfeng, who was standing next to him, echoed his sentiments.

"Yeah, yeah, Ye Tian, ​​you used to be so generous! How come you've become so stingy as you get older!"

Unfortunately, faced with their attacks, Ye Tian could only let out a cold snort.

"Take any pills and magical artifacts you like, but not these fruits. I've been busy for so long, and I haven't even had a few bites!"

As he spoke, Ye Tian looked at the two of them with disdain.

Because they weren't granted access to the Worry-Free Immortal Island, the two of them would come to check on him from time to time.

At first, he was quite happy, since they were all friends. But later he discovered that these two always took a big bag of the spiritual fruits from the Hundred Fruit Garden with them every time they left!

So much so that during the first two years of his recovery, he didn't get to enjoy any of his own fruits; they were all taken away by those two.

Oh shit!

It wasn't until a few years later, when they became more vigilant, that they were able to take advantage of the situation. However, things didn't improve much. Taking advantage of the fact that their strength hadn't fully recovered, they would loot and run away.

After swatting away their hands from picking fruit once more, he finally couldn't help but ask,

"What exactly are you two doing here? Don't tell me you came to catch up; you've already used up most of my fruit!"

Judging from Ye Tian's appearance today, it seemed unlikely they would succeed. Lu Changfeng and Ma Changshou exchanged a glance, and Ma Changshou then explained their purpose.

"Um, senior brother, it's like this. According to the new regulations of our Heavenly Star Sect, all disciples who reach the Nascent Soul stage must take on disciples!"

"Your three disciples were out training before, so the sect didn't interfere. Now it's time to take on more disciples!"
