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

When Wang Mang realized what was happening, he felt like his head was about to explode.

Is this still my good buddy?

Why did he use such a powerful move?

He immediately gave a thumbs up.

"So cool, absolutely stunning!"

"Brother Lu, what's that move called? I want to learn it when I get back, it's so cool!"

Although swordsmanship is difficult to master, so what if it's so cool and hard to learn?

After all, being powerful is temporary, but being handsome lasts a lifetime.

If I could show off this much coolness just once in my life, it would be worth it even if it meant my death!

However, Lu Changfeng's lips curled up, and then he slowly uttered a few words.

"Listen carefully, this move of mine is called Xia Ji's Overpowering Slash!"

Wang Mang immediately fainted.

"Brother Lu, this name is too casual. Oh well, it doesn't matter!"

"But Duan Yu didn't succeed this time. Do you think he'll come back again?"

Lu Changfeng shook his head at this.

"No, he won't use that trick again!"

As for the reason, it's quite simple. The sword energy he used when he lost an arm was like that, and now he's using the same move again—this is him demonstrating it to him directly.

If this happens again, next time it won't just be about losing a hand!

Although Wang Mang didn't understand why Lu Changfeng was so certain, he figured they were buddies, so he just believed him.

"Alright, Brother Lu, I'll head down now. Today's events were quite significant. Both Senior Sister Lingyin and the guards put in a lot of effort, and I must thank them!"

After hearing his explanation, Lu Changfeng also felt that it made a lot of sense, so he pretended to take out a bunch of green bamboo from his storage bag, which was actually his system space.

"Here, take this. After all, this is my business, so it's my duty to treat them."

"This is a second-grade superior spirit wine; I believe they will like it!"

Although the Spirit Wine Gift Pack requires real money to purchase, this factory gives me over 100,000 in-game currency points a year, so I'm still willing to spend a little bit of Spirit Wine!

Upon hearing that it was a second-grade high-quality spirit wine, Wang Mang's eyes lit up.

"Oh, my dear Brother Lu, you've really helped me out this time!"

"I was originally wondering how many spirit stones to give, but now that I have your spirit wine, no one can say anything bad about it!"

"Then I'll head down now!"

After Wang Mang left, Lu Changfeng inspected the factory again and left only after finding no problems.

On the other side, Duan Yu returned to his residence, panting heavily, completely oblivious to the blood dripping from his wounds.

Because at that moment, he only had one question on his mind.

Why, why is Lu Changfeng here!

He was the one who recommended Wang Mang to Su Ziyuan before, and now he's appeared again. There's definitely something he hasn't noticed.

He also knew that if it were just Lingyin, it would be fine, but if he had been more decisive today, he might have caused some damage.

However, he had no confidence at all in dealing with Lu Changfeng. After all, one of his arms was still missing, and the thought of that person gave him a phantom pain.

Since that's the case, we can only investigate first. He then gave instructions to Passerby A and Passerby B. These two had fled after the Foundation Establishment battle, so they were unharmed.

Upon receiving the order, the two immediately rose to their feet, and soon news of Lu Changfeng's relationship with Wang Mang reached Duan Yu's side.

After reading it, he suddenly realized...

"So that's how it is! Lu Changfeng is actually Wang Mang's neighbor and good friend. No wonder he's here today!"

"But if that's the case, then it's not good to destroy it!"

"Is that the only way?"

"Damn it! Lu Changfeng, you forced me into this!"

He found Su Ziyuan early the next morning.

"Hey, isn't this my assistant store manager? Why aren't you thinking about seizing power? What are you doing here?"

"Oh! I forgot, you're really busy, aren't you? Instead of going home to cultivate at night, you went out and fought a little girl, and you didn't even win!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, I have to say something to you here. You can't be careless at work. If others knew, they'd think you were just doing nothing!"

Su Ziyuan obviously knew about what happened last night, and it was gratifying to know that Lu Changfeng hadn't cut off another hand of his. Otherwise, she would have been even happier.

Faced with Su Ziyuan's open mockery, Duan Yu's face darkened.

"Heh, stop with the sarcastic remarks. You're probably happier to see me like this now!"

Stop pretending to be good to me!

Su Ziyuan seemed completely unconcerned about this.

"Since that's the case, then just say what you have to say."

"Unlike you, my family is pressuring me a lot, and I still have to work!"

Seeing that the topic had finally come to this point, Duan Yu's face darkened, but he still suppressed his anger and stated his conditions.

"Elder Gao from headquarters promised that if I could obtain the contract for the psionic home appliances, he would give me a Core Formation treasure and a Level 3 store manager qualification!"

"If you're willing to give me the contract, the Core Formation treasure is yours!"

Upon hearing this, Su Ziyuan's pupils contracted, and the mockery on her face faded considerably.

Even though the Su family is a Golden Core family, a Core Formation treasure is still extremely precious. Now, with a contract, this Core Formation treasure will be theirs. No matter how you look at it, it's a great deal.

But Su Ziyuan didn't agree immediately.

"How can you guarantee that you'll definitely get your hands on this Core Formation treasure?"

"The Gao family is no good. To put it bluntly, you're just a Foundation Establishment cultivator; what can you do if they don't give it to you?"

"When I run out of leverage and you can't keep your promises, why should I trust you?"

This is also the biggest problem with Duan Yu's suggestion.

Su Ziyuan was naturally willing to make the exchange, but if she couldn't get the item, it would all be for nothing.

However, Duan Yu had anticipated this, and slowly took out a small black gourd, about the size of his palm.

"This is an Earth Spirit Gourd, containing a thousand-year-old swamp gas source. Its value far exceeds that of a normal Core Formation treasure. You should be able to accept using this as collateral, right?"

As he spoke, he opened the gourd, and immediately a powerful burst of marsh gas escaped from it.

Su Ziyuan's eyes lit up immediately.

Marsh gas is common, but thousand-year-old marsh gas is rare, let alone a thousand-year-old marsh gas source. Having this stuff is basically enough to create another super treasure land. For a family, something that can continuously produce resources is much more valuable than any Core Formation treasure.

Unfortunately, the gourd only contains swamp gas that's only a few thousand years old, so its value is only slightly higher than a typical Core Formation treasure, and still considerably lower than a top-tier Core Formation treasure.

However, it's easy to understand that even if the Gao family gave Duan Yu the lowest grade gourd, it would only be of equal value.

After pondering for a long time, she finally agreed.

"Can!"

Before long, the two signed a contract and completed the exchange, agreeing that once the Core Formation Treasure was obtained, it must be returned to him unconditionally and immediately!
