Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 134 - 104: Zhao Family Island_3

"So, can Brother Chen rest assured now?"

Zhao Chengyu laughed.

"Then I'll have to rely on Daoist Zhao from now on, for my livelihood."

Chen Yi bowed slightly, considering Zhao Chengyu's unique position in the Zhao family as the only one with dual spirit roots, his status should not be low.

"I too," Liu Huo also bowed.

"Ha ha ha, let's go! From now on, the three of us brothers shall forge our paths in the Immortal Cultivation World together!"

Zhao Chengyu laughed heartily, leading Chen Yi and Liu Huo to the spirit ship. He had reached the first layer of Qi cultivation and knew how to manipulate the ship,

and there were still spirit stones left on the ship previously used for propulsion.

The three of them shakily navigated the ship away from the deserted island.

It's worth mentioning that, Chen Yi took advantage of Zhao Chengyu's good mood and actively requested the leftovers of the Spirit materials used for the vitality and blood potion of Ghost Face,

He packed up those herbs and blood fruits into a bundle, wearing it on his back,

This included the leftover turtle snake tail.

"Ha ha, Chen Yi, you look so destitute. After you reach the first layer of Qi cultivation, I'll give you a storage bag!"

"Then I must thank Brother Zhao."

After leaving the deserted island, the three of them found a small official island in the Endless Marsh,

reported what had happened to the Executor on Qinglong Island, and also requested their help in contacting the Zhao family.

Consequently, the matter of Ghost Face kidnapping and refining cultivators into pills spread throughout the Ten Thousand Islands Lake, and Ghost Face was formally wanted by both the orthodox and demon paths.

Later on, Island Master Qian of island 32, who heard the news, was so frightened that he retreated back to the 32 mortal islands, never wishing to enter the Spirit Mist World or the Ten Thousand Islands Lake again in his life.

On Chen Yi's side, they waited less than half a day before a cultivator from the Zhao family arrived by sword,

A tall middle-aged man with discerning eyes landed, exuding a powerful aura.

"Uncle Chong Wen, you're finally here~", Zhao Chengyu bowed, and quickly approached him, his face filled with joy.

The newcomer was Zhao Chengyu's real uncle, Zhao Chongwen, who was less than 40 years old and in the late stage of Qi cultivation. He's one of Zhao family's hopes for Foundation Establishment!

"Chengyu, you're an adult now, act accordingly. Tell me what happened!"

Zhao Chengyu quickly recounted the events, highlighting how Chen Yi cleverly refined a high-grade vitality and blood potion that tricked the demon cultivator Ghost Face, allowing him to kill it in one blow.

In the end, Zhao Chengyu proposed that Brothers Chen and Liu should be accepted as his brothers and allowed to cultivate in the Zhao family.

After Zhao Chongwen heard this, he didn't react in front of Chen and Liu, he just turned to Chen Yi and Liu Huo, saying with a smile:

"Thank you both, you've played a significant role in helping Chengyu survive. The Zhao family will not forget this."

Yet after saying this, he didn't mention the part about letting them stay and cultivate in the Zhao family,

"Chengyu, this is a serious matter, let's go back to the island first and we'll talk about the rest then."

Zhao Chengyu was not a little displeased. He already announced his decision, it seems a little premature now that they are still not home.

On the journey, Zhao Chongwen drove the spirit vessel carrying the three of them. It took only half a day to reach Zhao Family Island.

To call it a small island is a misnomer, as the island is at least two thousand miles in width and four to five thousand miles in length.

Placed in the modern world, it is equivalent to a medium-sized country.

However, such a large range is indeed considered as a small island to cultivators.

"The two of you can rest in the guest room here for a few days. There is spiritual energy equivalent to a first-tier spiritual vein here, which can be used for cultivation,

I'll also arrange for servants to prepare your meals and washing facilities,

As for your stay in the Zhao family, I'll need to discuss it with the family head."

Chen Yi and Liu Huo expressed their gratitude.

Afterwards, Zhao Chongwen flew off to the center of the island with Zhao Chengyu.

On the way, Zhao Chongwen gave Zhao Chengyu a serious lecture:

"Chengyu, you're not getting any younger. How could you casually promise to let those two stay in our Zhao family?

If the family agrees to the generous terms you proposed, how will the cultivators from other places we've recruited view you and the family?

You know the contracts others signing when they come to Zhao family to cultivate, right?!"

Zhao Chengyu stubbornly protested:

"Third Uncle! Both of them have saved my life. We can't treat them the same way as those recruited cultivators! Hmph, if Uncle refuses, as a dual spirit root cultivator, I am entitled to recruit three Diaoist Protectors. I'll just let the two of them take up my Diaoist Protector's quota. What's wrong with that?!"

"Nonsense!" Zhao Chongwen was angry,

"As a dual spirit root cultivator, you are expected to firmly establish your foundation, and even have the probability of forming a core, to lead the Zhao family into greater prosperity,

Your Diaoist Protectors should be cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage, or at least in the late stage of Qi cultivation. What good are these two?

Chengyu, as a dual spirit root cultivator and the future carrier of the family, you need to grow up. Even if you want to be wilful, the family won't allow it!"

"No, I insist!"

The two disagreed until they met with the head of the Zhao family and Zhao Chengyu's uncle, Zhao Chongdao, and mentioned the matter,

Zhao Chongdao deliberated for a while before making a compromise:

"Chengyu, you're grown up now and you need to take responsibility for your actions.

I agree to let your two friends stay, but at most, only one can take your Diaoist Protector's place – think about whom to give it to.

The other one, either sign the same contract as the other cultivators, or we Zhao family can only allow him to stay for five years, which could be considered the repayment for saving your life.

Moreover, all the costs for his cultivation during these five years will be deducted from your allowance."

Zhao Chengyu, who was able to argue with his Third Uncle, didn't dare to refute his uncle in the Foundation Establishment Period. His father died early and he had been brought up by the family. His uncle was strict and he was afraid of him since childhood.

When he saw his uncle coming to a final decision, he had to accept it.

The next day,

Zhao Chengyu returned to the guest room on the island and uneasily told Chen Yi and Liu Huo about it.

After hearing this, Liu Huo was anxious. He knew that Zhao Chengyu would surely give the quota to Chen Yi, and he might have to sign that unfair contract.

Unexpectedly,

After hearing this, Chen Yi simply smiled and said:

"Brother Zhao, don't worry. I am willing to give up the quota of Diaoist Protectors and only stay on the island for five years. After five years, I shall leave."
