I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 1256: Chapter 1253: Two Core Formations in One Family

“Fellow Daoist Wen, I sincerely apologize. My abilities are limited, and I cannot spare more energy on earning Spirit Stones. With things as they are now, I’m already content.”

“Furthermore, I have been acquainted with Senior Instrument Spirit for many years. I have received countless favors from him, and my ties to the Commerce Association run deep. It would not be appropriate to sever them hastily.”

“As such, I currently have no plans to leave the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce. If a suitable opportunity arises, I will consider cooperating with the Taiyi Alliance.”

Lu Xuan paused for a moment, then spoke earnestly.

“What a pity. Cultivators like Friend Lu, skilled in logistics and at the Mid-stage Nascent Soul level, are incredibly rare.”

The elder shook his head, his expression tinged with regret.

Faced with Lu Xuan’s refusal, he could only accept it reluctantly.

After all, the other party was a Sword Sect Cultivator and possessed the Mid Nascent Soul Stage Realm. He could only steer the conversation toward the Commerce Association, fearing any displeasure from Lu Xuan.

If Lu Xuan were a Loose Cultivator, it would be easier. There would be countless ways to bring him under the Taiyi Alliance’s banner. However, Lu Xuan held a crucial position within the Sword Sect. Such petty tactics were impossible to employ against him.

As for Lin Beihai, he remained silent throughout the conversation, listening respectfully. His attitude toward Lu Xuan was one of utmost deference.

The two took their leave after spending a brief period in the cave abode, drinking a few cups of Spirit Brew.

Lu Xuan watched their figures disappear into the Sword Qi clouds before turning back to his cave abode. As he did, Wen Wuchen’s earlier words echoed in his mind.

“In the mouths of Taiyi Alliance Cultivators, Senior Instrument Spirit is painted in such a poor light.”
