Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 997 - 510: Collaboration (Part 2)

Moreover, the difficulty of cultivation itself is there, and technical replication isn’t that simple either. It seems that before Lingxu, the company was repeatedly experimenting; it is said that the fastest progress at one time completed the concept design of the original body, design finalization, and concept validation. Unfortunately, in the concept implementation testing phase, a severe runaway accident occurred, completely destroying the prototype for batch testing, concept design drawings, and even the entire project team at the last moment, resulting in utter failure.

That’s why Lingxu can now have the leverage to negotiate with the company, and why he doesn’t want to provide too many research samples to the company. The Martial God with Gang Fist Instant Strike is ridiculous enough now; in the future, if the company easily pumps out a million Sect Leaders, who could possibly handle that?

All in all, Chen Xuantian realizes he has to seize this peace window period between the Mystic Sect and the company to upgrade, and it must be done quickly.

Counting the time, there are fifty years before Lingxu must execute the plan. By then, the truth will be revealed, and regardless of who wins or loses, the company and Mystic Sect will have to face off. An earthly calamity is inevitable.

By that time, Tie Dan will have to emerge to save the world and Huangfu Yi, and Chen Xuantian estimates he won’t get much attention. At the very least, he must reach the Nascent Soul realm to ensure his own survival; no, to have the power for Soldier Disintegration and reincarnation, or else if he falls, his personality and memories as ’Chen Xuantian’ might be devoured by Peng Ju.

Hence, after triggering the Nangong family incident, Chen Xuantian has shifted his thoughts and made a plan.

In his upgrade plan for the next fifty years, Yunmeng Swamp is the primary resource map, and the Nangong family is the local power here. As long as he can form good relations with the Nangong family and become a Tribute Master stably, he can use the family’s private soldiers to bring him cultivation materials continuously, greatly saving the risk, crisis, and time cost of running around fighting and overcoming calamities.

This way, with Nangong family’s resources at hand, he can form his Nascent Soul securely within ten years, leaving him thirty years with ample preparation, finding a cave mansion as a base, engaging in alchemy, talisman painting, array setting, artifact crafting; even preparing the Dao Body for reincarnation in case of Soldier Disintegration is possible. He can definitely evade this heavenly calamity.

Yet, although the plan is thorough and the future is bright, reality is a dog...

Until the Nangong family’s fleet docked! Yet the Young Master hasn’t even summoned him, the lifesaver, to meet! What is this!? Is this how the Nangong family treats their lifesavers? Not bowing in gratitude! Not offering gold! Have you even said ’thank you’? Do you have manners at all? What nonsense is this!?

"Uh, um, Benefactor... the Young Master... is eager to return to the camp, I must accompany him as part of the guard..."

Chen Xuantian glanced sideways at Li Hu, who spoke humbly,

"What? Do you want me to accompany as a guard too?"

Li Hu looked embarrassed, stiffly,

"Well... it’s just... Yunmeng Camp is a pivotal area, possibly inconvenient for outsiders... Ahem, how about Benefactor waits at the dock, once matters are settled, I will return immediately and personally recommend you to meet my Mistress, offering thanks..."

Chen Xuantian smiled,

"Hehe, I see, then you don’t need to trouble yourself. Why not write a letter, pointing the place. I’ll meet the Nangong family myself and settle this karma."

Li Hu appeared helpless,

"Benefactor, it’s not that I’m refusing, but this matter... is best handled after I return and accompany you to meet them personally, explaining face to face, lest..."

Chen Xuantian still smiled,

"Lest what? Lest me, a mere Foundation Establishment savage, savior of the Young Master, won’t even gain entry to the Nangong’s door without recommendation?"

Li Hu certainly dared not affirm, only saying,

"Please wait a moment, Benefactor, I will return shortly, at most in three days, and surely won’t let your great kindness go unrewarded."

Chen Xuantian didn’t make it difficult, smiling and not fussing, just watching Li Hu lead hundreds of elite cavalry, escorting Young Master Nangong away in the dust. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Ah, got underestimated.

Everyone knows the importance of helping someone in need, stories often tell of receiving Immortal Fate, Divine Skill Secret Manuals, repaying with great gratitude. But most people still judge based on appearance.

A noble Young Master like Nangong Che doesn’t need mentioning; young and already appointed General of the Southern Pacification, he has seen experts of every realm. Even his house guard Li Hu, capable of executing the Fifty-layered Gang Fist, could lead an army in the Immortal Palace. How would he see Chen Xuantian, a mere Foundation Establishment fatty?

You saved me, so what? I am the Master, you are the servant; this is what you should do. Rewards and thanks, delegated to the subordinates, is enough.

That was probably his instruction, only Li Hu, being more tactful, dared not speak directly.

If it were Tie Dan, he might call for the Grass Mud Horse Sword and fight them. But Chen Xuantian doesn’t mind; people are just like this. You expect something from nobles cultivated in feudal society?

Moreover, if Chen Xuantian truly wished to gain respect from them, he could have shown an immortal demeanor and flashed some Primordial Spirit Method, boasting Divine Skills. Like Li Hu, who wouldn’t dare underestimate him.

He’s currently taking this approach deliberately, just to test Nangong Che’s capability, see if he has the qualities of a ruler, and whether he’s worth supporting.
