Chapter 93

Chapter 93: Kneeling in Request

The three factions emitted a murderous aura!

For a moment, the people from Qian Yue Cave felt a bit suffocated.

Should they really go all out?

Even if they killed Chen Ansheng, it would be futile, as only the Master could open the storage bag, and they wouldn’t be able to obtain the spiritual liquid anyway. (This setting was explained in Chapter Twelve, paragraph thirty-five, so please refrain from questioning it again.)

Stand down! There was nothing they could do!

In this manner, Chen Ansheng no longer needed to sell the spiritual liquid through puppets.

“Come, come, come, there’s a whole half barrel of spiritual liquid here. Everyone can share it.”

As he spoke, Chen Ansheng summoned a large barrel, which contained half of what was left from the sales.

He was giving it away for free, which infuriated Qian Yue Cave.

“Let me go first; the rest will be arranged by the masters of each cave, and they will take turns!”

Mo Wu, who was feeling gloomy beside him, rushed over immediately.

After all, he was an elder of the immortal residence; once this calamity passed, he would still hold his high position, and the three cave masters would naturally obey the arrangement.

“Hiss, ah, that feels good!”

Mo Wu absorbed about two hundred drops of spiritual liquid at once, alleviating all discomfort and truly enjoying it.

“Chen boy, you’re much more generous than that Li fellow. I appreciate it and grant you a fairy sword. Take it!”

In his joy, Mo Wu casually summoned a fairy sword and tossed it to Chen Ansheng.

Chen Ansheng’s eyes lit up as he caught the sword.

The sword was entirely snow-white, engraved with law patterns, and even had a sword spirit within it—it was indeed a rare fairy-class treasure!

“The elder takes good care of his disciple; I acknowledge this, and I thank you.”

Chen Ansheng quickly accepted the sword and acknowledged its ownership before storing it in his storage bag.

As for the others, especially the sword cultivators from Bi Yan Cave, they all drooled with envy upon seeing the fairy sword.

Even Yao Jianyuan couldn’t help but steal a few glances at the sword.

“Looks like you’ve struck gold, Chen Shidi.” Yao Jianyuan came over, patted Chen Ansheng’s shoulder, and then cupped his hands towards Mo Wu, saying, “Elder Mo, I’m also a chosen disciple of the immortal residence, what do you think…”

“Get lost.” Mo Wu scolded grumpily, “No merit, no reward. Do you think my fairy sword is made of mud? You just want it?”

Yao Jianyuan secretly rolled his eyes and tactfully stepped back.

“Hahaha, Elder Mo is so generous today! Since we’ve used Chen Xiaoyou’s spiritual liquid, we should reciprocate. Here’s a soul-reviving herb that has life-restoring effects, a gift for you, Chen Xiaoyou.”

“This piece of Mo Crystal is a little token of my goodwill; please accept it, Chen Xiaoyou.”

“A piece of Mo Crystal, Elder Zhou, are you sure you can part with this? Here’s a bottle of Jade Clear Pill, which has effects of fortifying the foundation; I’ll send it to you, Chen Xiaoyou.”

……

After Mo Wu set the precedent, many elders actively gifted items to Chen Ansheng.

Although these things held high value, to these old fellows, they were just a drop in the bucket.

Happily accepting the gifts, Chen Ansheng felt secretly pleased; it was true that one shouldn’t be too stingy—this was much more profitable than selling directly and also gained him a good reputation, a win-win situation.

While the crowd rejoiced, the people from Qian Yue Cave felt uncomfortable.

All of them hung their heads low, looking lifeless and dispirited.

As their spiritual power drained, even if they wanted to fight, they lacked the strength.

“Ah, I feel so uncomfortable, Mom, help me, I feel so bad.”

Ji Ziling had her eyes tightly shut, tears streaming down her face as she murmured for help.

Nan Gong Xiu’s lips turned pale, and she felt terrible too, but she didn’t have any spiritual liquid.

“Mom, just kill me; I’m in so much pain, I don’t want to live anymore…”

After a while, Ji Ziling began to struggle and convulse, showing signs of a last-minute revival.

At this moment, Nan Gong Xiu completely panicked.

If her daughter died, what meaning would her own life have left!

“Ling’er, hold on; your mother is here, don’t be afraid.”

Nan Gong Xiu couldn’t hold back her tears.

This scene awakened her memories from the past; she still recalled that time when she and her master, Li Zhengyang, ventured into a forbidden area.

On that day, she was injured by a demonic creature, on the brink of death.

Her master had held her in his arms just like today, constantly comforting her, secretly wiping away tears.

“Mom, I’m about to die…”

Gradually, Ji Ziling’s breath weakened, and her voice became indistinct.

“Daughter, you can’t die; your mom won’t let you die!”

Nan Gong Xiu cried out, then put Ji Ziling down and walked towards the Bi Yan Cave camp.

Her target was, of course, Chen Ansheng.

Reaching Chen Ansheng, the weary Nan Gong Xiu said, “Please give me some spiritual liquid; as long as you’re willing to help, I promise everything that happened these past few days I will consider as if it never happened. You will still be my little master uncle, and I will ensure my daughter respects you greatly!”

She was left with no choice!

At this moment, besides the spiritual liquid, there was no other way to save her daughter’s life.

“If I had known it would come to this, I wouldn’t have acted like that! I won’t give it!” Chen Ansheng directly refused.

“Little master uncle, are you really so heartless…” Nan Gong Xiu suddenly knelt on one knee, as if making a decision, murmuring, “Alright, I admit that my daughter and I have wronged you. But your brother Li truly helped you; can you really bear to see his own daughter perish?”

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Ansheng froze.

Ji Ziling is the daughter of Brother Li?

From everything Ji Ziling did, Chen Ansheng had long suspected that Nan Gong Xiu and Li Zhengyang’s relationship was more than simply master and disciple.

But he never expected that Ji Ziling was actually Brother Li’s biological daughter!

“Are you lying to me? Trying to use Brother Li’s kindness towards me to save your daughter!” Chen Ansheng questioned.

“Little master uncle, as a woman, I would never joke about my purity,” Nan Gong Xiu said with a pained expression.

Over the years, she had heard all sorts of rumors.

But she had never admitted to having any other relationship with Li Zhengyang!

Today, she had no other way but to reveal her daughter’s identity to save her life.

Chen Ansheng fell silent.

Having grown up alone and dependent only on his grandmother, he had never received kindness from anyone else.

And Brother Li not only taught him many principles of being human but also stepped up to help him in his time of need, which was akin to saving his life.

Moreover, he had even gone so far as to make a vow to secure a chance for Chen Ansheng’s cultivation.

All of this was a huge kindness.

If one day he were to meet Brother Li again and learn that his biological daughter had been inadvertently harmed by him, how cold would his heart become…

“Forget it.” After pondering for a moment, Chen Ansheng sighed, “Nan Gong Master, the events of these days were not of my choosing; if you are truly willing to make peace, I certainly won’t stand by and watch Brother Li’s flesh and blood die.”

“Little master uncle, I swear, from now on…”

Boom!

At that moment, an unexpected change occurred.

The giant bird from the forbidden area charged out unexpectedly, violently crashing into the ancestral land’s barrier.

Crack…

The sky shattered, thunder and rain surged, and a terrible storm erupted within the ancestral land.

The gravestones made of rough stone flew everywhere.

Boom!

Just then, a ten-thousand-jin heavy dark stone gravestone fell toward the unconscious Ji Ziling.
