Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

1387  Why Are You Still Borrowing Spirit Stones If Your Brother Is So Amazing? (1)

Mr. Tao's courtyard in the Heavenly Tower was divided into inner, middle, and outer courtyards.

The inner courtyard was quiet and elegant, with a few potted plants as decorations.

Small stone paths ran through it.

The faint moonlight shone on the two people drinking tea at the table.

Mr. Tao sighed with emotion.

"The Dragon Clan left when the world was silent and now returns in the Great Era. It seems they are not a clan content with loneliness," he said.

"It's more than just being discontent with loneliness," said Chi Tian and laughed. "The Dragon Clan has always been remarkable. They hid away without suffering much damage. In a world without the Human Emperor, even the current Fallen Immortal Clan cannot suppress them entirely. The human race should be the strongest at the moment, but these other clans have deep foundations and unique advantages. Unless the human race can suppress these races in a short period of time, it won't be long before they rise up and return. They will compete with the human race and even surpass them."

"Can they surpass them?" Mr. Tao asked curiously.

"They might not be able to surpass the entire human race, but there's no one overseas who can contend with the Dragon Clan, and no one can fight with the Fallen Immortal Clan," said Chi Tian as he sipped his tea. "The human race can't converge in just one place, can they? The internal strife within the human race is just as intense as conflicts with other clans. So, if you want to establish a foothold overseas, Mr. Tao, you'll be quite busy for some time."

Seeing Mr. Tao's somber face, Chi Tian added, "Of course, Mr. Tao, if you need anything, feel free to ask me. I can help if it's within my abilities. Moreover, you have the First Master of the tower here. Establishing a foothold shouldn't be difficult."

Mr. Tao smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior. I'll be sure to let you rest well when the time comes."

Chi Tian put down his teacup and could not hide his smile. "No need for formalities. It's a small effort. Mr. Tao, you understand me. Hahaha!"

Tang Ya looked at the two people who were drinking tea and talking.

She turned to Zhu Shen. "What are they talking about?"

"I don't know," Zhu Shen said.

"Are you about to become an immortal?" Tang Ya asked.

"Yes, very soon." Zhu Shen nodded.

He had an aura that was restrained, with faint immortal energy circulating within him.

This rapid progress was due to Chi Tian's help and the Great Era's opportunities.

Without these, his advancement would not have been so fast.

If he could not become immortal, he would fall far behind others.

Then, he would not be able to work for Mr. Tao.

"Did Senior Chi borrow spirit stones from you?" Tang Ya asked.

"Cough! Cough!" Chi Tian coughed twice. "How's your cultivation going recently?"

He looked at Tang Ya and Zhu Shen.

The two of them bowed in respect.

"Everything is going well. I should be able to advance soon," Zhu Shen said.

He had a chance to become immortal in this Great Era, so he could feel it clearly.

"I'm far from becoming an immortal," said Tang Ya, "but I'm close to the Immortal Ascension Platform."

Mr. Tao nodded. "You two, please continue to follow Senior Chi Tian's guidance. Also, after Zhu Shen becomes an immortal, go to Heavenly King Taomu, and find out about the other Chi Tian."

Zhu Shen nodded. "Recently, the Shangguan Clan seems to be expanding. Moreover, the rate of their advancement is very fast. It is very likely that they'll become a new and impressive force. Do you want to contact them?"

The heavenly Tower was in contact with most forces. As long as there was a valuable source of information, they could be partners.

If the Shangguan Clan was rising to great heights, they naturally needed to cooperate.

Mr. Tao thought for a moment and said softly, "I'll just keep an eye on them for now. Also, do you know about their inner situation or their attitude toward Smiling San Sheng?"

"They seem to function independently," said Zhu Shen. "It seems they don't care much about Smiling San Sheng."

Mr. Tao nodded and said, "Then, let them be for now."

Zhu Shen was surprised, but he did not ask further.

Mr. Tao always seemed to have foresight.

They had reached their current heights mostly because of Mr. Tao's decisions.

Chi Tian shook his head as he drank his tea. "I don't care about your spirit stones. I've not seen a Golden Dragon before, but it's likely that they must have appeared. Their path has the ability to imprison and manifest space. With their support, you'll be much safer, and the Dragon Clan won't interfere for a while."

"By the way, the Dragon Clan has returned. You should find the Golden Dragon soon and gain their support. It'll be safer for you," Chi Tian said.

"Senior, do you have any news about the Golden Dragon?" Tang Ya asked curiously.

"If I told you, would you lend me spirit stones?" Chi Tian asked.

"No, but Mr. Tao would," Tang Ya said.

Chi Tian shook his head as he drank his tea. "I don't care about your spirit stones. I've not seen a Golden Dragon before, but it's likely that they must have appeared. Their path has the ability to imprison and manifest space. With their support, you'll be much safer, and the Dragon Clan won't interfere for a while."

"The Golden Dragon is part of the Dragon Clan. Will they really support us?" Zhu Shen asked.

Chi Tian thought for a moment and said, "Likely. Just give them what they want, or I can ask my brother for help. He should have a way."

"What kind of person is your brother?" Mr. Tao asked.

Upon hearing this, Chi Tian smiled proudly. "He's heroic and unparalleled in the world. He suppressed a whole era, swept through the ages, and looked down on the world. It's only because I was delayed that he's slightly stronger than me."

"Senior, you're exaggerating," said Tang Ya. "If your brother is so amazing, why doesn't he have spirit stones to give you?"

Chi Tian scoffed. "Why do you think I haven't been asking to borrow spirit stones from you?"

They were speechless.

Why did he talk about borrowing spirit stones so openly when he could not even pay it back?

At that moment, Mr. Tao said, "Keep an eye on the Heavenly Spirit Tribe. They and the Dragon Clan are both powerful. Two tigers cannot coexist on one mountain. Since they are both overseas, conflict is inevitable."
