My Senior Brother Is Super Strong, Chapter 2 (2-in-Chapter)
Xiao Chuang left Lingxiao Peak along with Xiao Ye, feeling satisfied.
Xiao Ye was puzzled by her uncle's behavior and couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, why do you want me to join Lingxiao Peak?"
Xiao Chuang replied, "Didn't I tell you before? Lingxiao Peak's master, Lin Tian, has only two direct disciples. If you join, you will be the third direct disciple. If you follow me, you can only be an inner disciple at most, which is far from being a direct disciple."
Xiao Ye said worriedly, "But uncle, didn't Senior Brother Lu say that joining Lingxiao Peak is not a good thing?"
After hearing this, Xiao Chuang said angrily, "That bastard is talking nonsense; don't believe him. If you join Lingxiao Peak, it is a rare opportunity for you."
"Why?"
Xiao Ye retorted, "Uncle, if you don't explain this clearly, I don't want to join Lingxiao Peak."
Xiao Chuang sighed and said helplessly, "As I said before, in addition to becoming a direct disciple of Lingxiao Peak, you can also follow an excellent Senior Brother."
"Do you know who the strongest disciple of the Qingyun Sect is?"
Xiao Ye, being very smart, asked, "Uncle, you won't say it's the Senior Brother of Lingxiao Peak, will you?"
Xiao Chuang nodded and said, "Yes, the strongest disciple of the Qingyun Sect is indeed Lingxiao Peak's Senior Brother, Ji Yan."
"His strength has already reached the late period of the Golden Elixir stage, and he can kill a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye's expression was filled with disbelief as she asked, "Uncle, you're not kidding me, are you?"
Golden Elixir Stage cultivators killing Nascent Soul Stage cultivators? What a joke!
Xiao Chuang replied, "Why would I lie to you about such matters?"
"Ji Yan is the strongest genius in the entire Qingyun Sect, and his talent in swordsmanship is exceptional; even the founder of the Qingyun Sect is slightly behind him in terms of swordsmanship."
"Junior Brother Lin was in the late period of the Golden Elixir stage ten years ago, but after accepting Ji Yan, he broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage in less than a year under Ji Yan's urging."
Xiao Ye was even more incredulous. "A disciple urges the master?"
Xiao Chuang affirmed, "Yes, what reason could there be to be lazy around Ji Yan?"
"Ji Yan keeps moving forward, and those around him will only follow in his footsteps and never stop. This is the real reason why Uncle asked you to go to Lingxiao Peak."
"If you have such a Senior Brother, your strength will also advance by leaps and bounds."
After hearing Xiao Chuang's description, an image of a hardworking young man appeared in Xiao Ye's mind. But then, for some reason, the figure of Lu Chen flashed in her thoughts.
Xiao Ye couldn't help but ask curiously, "Uncle, is Senior Brother Lu also powerful?"
After hearing this, Xiao Chuang's expression changed slightly, and he said in an unhappy tone, "Xiao Ye, when you go to Lingxiao Peak, you must stay away from him and not be influenced by him. Do you understand?"
Xiao Ye asked with curiosity, "Uncle, why do you say that?"
Xiao Chuang explained, "He is lazy, very lazy, extremely lazy."
"He is also greedy, very greedy, extremely greedy."
Xiao Ye was stunned. She didn't expect her uncle's evaluation of Lu Chen to be like this.
But thinking about Lu Chen's performance just now, she felt that her uncle's words somewhat made sense.
"What about strength? You said that following Senior Brother Ji Yan would motivate me to work hard. Senior Brother Lu should be very strong, right?"
Xiao Chuang became even more depressed. He said, "He is an exception."
"Anyway, just listen to me. After you enter Lingxiao Peak, just stay away from him."
Xiao Ye said again, "Uncle, are you really sure that I can enter Lingxiao Peak?"
"Didn't Senior Brother Lu say that it is very difficult to gain Senior Brother Ji Yan's approval?"
Xiao Chuang replied, "Although that kid is indeed very lazy and greedy, he still adheres to certain principles; since he receives payment, he does his work, and he is the person who knows Ji Yan best."
"When Junior Brother Lin comes back, I will take you to become his disciple. Follow his method, and it will work."
**Lingxiao Peak!**
In the evening, Lu Chen looked at the 500 spirit stones he had acquired that day with satisfaction, chuckled, and then disappeared.
He reappeared in the hall, where a table with a blank spirit tablet and an incense burner were placed in the center. Apart from these two items, there was nothing else in the hall.
Lu Chen approached the table and threw 10,000 spirit stones into the incense burner.
The incense burner flashed with white light and instantly absorbed all the spiritual power from the spirit stones, turning them into powder.
Then the spirit tablet also emitted a white light, and on the surface of the spirit tablet, two words appeared: "One Year."
Upon seeing this, Lu Chen sighed and said, "One year in exchange for 10,000 low-grade spirit stones is too expensive."
"It's hard to make money these days. It took a long time to gather 10,000 low-grade spirit stones, and now I feel like I'm back at the starting point."
Then he shook his head. "Alas, it can't be helped; who made my Senior Brother a pervert? If I don't use spirit stones to exchange for time, I can't catch up with him at all."
"Fortunately, after traveling through time, I picked up such a ring; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to survive in this world at all."
After saying that, he sat down cross-legged to practice.
Lu Chen had traveled to this world eighteen years ago and, by chance, became a disciple of Lingxiao Peak. He also picked up a ring with a spiritual time chamber, similar to the Dragon Ball world.
With the help of the ring, he didn't fall behind his perverted Senior Brother Ji Yan.
Lu Chen and Ji Yan entered Lingxiao Peak simultaneously and were accepted as disciples by Master Lin Tian.
Ji Yan is a true genius with unparalleled talent, especially in swordsmanship.
He is even praised as being better than the founder of the Qingyun Sect.
At the same time, Ji Yan is very motivated and hardworking.
When he entered the sect, he was still a mortal, but he reached the late period of the Golden Elixir stage in just ten years.
With his outstanding talent, no one in the entire Qingyun Sect could compare with him.
More than a year passed in the blink of an eye during cultivation.
Lu Chen finally woke up and felt the results of his cultivation.
He sighed, "Alas, one year of hard work is equivalent to half a year of my Senior Brother's cultivation, isn't it?"
"One year of cultivation, only to break through a small realm; I envy the genius."
Lu Chen shook his head, and his figure flickered as he appeared on the bed.
The time in the outside world was less than a quarter of an hour.
"Unfortunately, this ring also has a cooldown period of one month."
"But it's also good. I can combine work and rest."
After that, he fell into a deep sleep like a mortal.
The next day, when he finally woke up, it was already noon.
He got up and found that his master and Senior Brother had not returned yet.
He stretched and said, "Let's order takeout first."
He took out a paper crane and injected spiritual power into it. The crane's eyes lit up and came alive.
He said to the paper crane, "As usual!"
The paper crane flew into the sky to help him order takeout.
At his level of cultivation, he didn't really need to eat, but he felt that not eating would take the fun out of life.
He went outside to the hammock,
Continued to lie down, took out the Tianji card, and started browsing the news on it.
The Tianji card is the size of a palm and similar to a mobile phone on Earth.
It is the proud work of the Tianji Pavilion.
The Tianji Pavilion publishes news information on it like news outlets on Earth.
Thus, the Tianji Pavilion has many disciples and figures all over the world.
They are known as Tianji people, nicknamed Tianji dogs, akin to reporters on Earth.
After he arrived in this world, he acquired the nameless ring.
After a long period of practice, he would take breaks because he could not stand the loneliness.
Of course, there were also times when he couldn't practice for a year, like he did last night, because it was difficult to make money. Last night was his first time practicing for a year.
The news information on the Tianji card became the best choice to pass the time in this world.
The hammock rocked gently, and the red birds in the trees chirped softly.
The breeze was blowing gently, and Lu Chen felt very comfortable.
Half an hour later, someone arrived outside.
"Brother Lu, the food you ordered is here."
A young man in his twenties approached with a hot food box.
Lu Chen lay on the hammock, glanced at the young man, and asked, "Brother Wang, why are you so late today?"
The young man was named Wang Yao, an outer disciple of the Qingyun Sect with average talent; his strength was still in the Qi Refining Stage.
Wang Yao replied, "I just delivered two orders."
"It's all because of you, Senior Brother Lu. Everyone in Qingyun Sect has learned from you to order takeout."
"You also know my boss is so corrupt that he won't hire any more people. Isn't that hard for us as employees?"
Lu Chen said, "But you earn a lot."
His tone revealed envy. If it weren't for the sect's rules that forbade inner sect disciples and above from working outside, he would have delivered takeout to make some money.
Wang Yao shook his head and replied, "No way, I work so hard, but I only earn a few spirit stones a month."
"Here are the boiled spiritual beans, jade soup, and roasted spiritual pigeons you asked for."
Lu Chen peeled one and put it in his mouth, smacking his lips twice, and said, "The taste is a little different. Did the chef change?"
Wang Yao replied, "That's right. Business is good, there's more work, and the boss is stingy and refuses to increase salaries. Uncle Hu quit in anger."
Lu Chen asked, "Where did he go? Tell me quickly."
Wang Yao widened his eyes. "Brother Lu, are you planning to change restaurants too?"
Lu Chen said, "Nonsense! Can ordinary people compare with Lao Hu's cooking skills?"
Wang Yao said, "So, in the future, Lingxiao Peak's takeaway will have to change to another restaurant?"
Lu Chen said, "How would I know about Master and Senior Brother?"
Wang Yao said goodbye and left Lingxiao Peak.
He muttered to himself, "It seems I have to quit my job too."
"Brother Lu has such a sharp tongue; you can't catch his stomach, the black-hearted boss; just wait for bankruptcy."
"Brother Lu said he didn't know whether Master Lin and Senior Brother Ji Yan would change, but their takeout was all ordered by Brother Lu."
"When the Qingyun Sect discovers which takeout Brother Ji Yan ordered, they will follow suit."
"Hehe, black-hearted boss, wait for tears."
Wang Yao smiled smugly.
Suddenly, a stream of light flew across the sky.
Wang Yao looked up. "Hey, isn't that the Master of Chiyue Peak? What is he doing at Lingxiao Peak?"
"Oh, forget it. This is a big shot's business, and a small person like me should not meddle in others' affairs."
"I need to work hard to make money, break through to the Foundation Building Stage as soon as possible, and become an inner disciple first."
The stream of light landed, and Xiao Chuang appeared at Lingxiao Peak with Xiao Ye.
Seeing them arrive, Lu Chen greeted them with a smile, "Master Xiao, Junior Sister Xiao."
Then he continued to crack the spiritual beans while listening to the news broadcast on the Tianji card.
From time to time, he tossed a couple of spiritual beans, and the red bird caught it, swallowing it in one gulp.
The Tianji card can be used to read the news or listen to it like a radio.
[The young disciple's competition of the three major sects in Qizhou and the Duchang spiritual vein discussion meeting ended perfectly.]
[The young representative of the Qingyun Sect, Ji Yan, made a closing speech.]
When Xiao Ye heard the name Ji Yan, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Senior Brother Ji Yan!"
Yesterday, she learned from her uncle about the kind of person Senior Brother Ji Yan is, and a seed of admiration had been planted in her heart.
Xiao Chuang laughed, "Junior Nephew Ji Yan has made our Sect proud again."
Lu Chen commented quietly, "Sending the senior brother, isn't this bullying the people of Shuangyue Valley and Guiyuan Pavilion?"
"The head of the sect must not feel ashamed."
Xiao Chuang retorted, "This is about the distribution rights of the new spiritual vein discovered in Duchang for the next ten years. Of course, we have to go all out."
"How can a little bastard like you lie here in the sun all day without making any contributions?"
Lu Chen said, "Believe it or not, when Senior Brother comes back, I'll tell him that you think he performed shamefully in this competition."
Xiao Chuang initially jumped in shock but then hurriedly smiled and said, "Xiao Chen, what are you talking about?"
"I was just joking with you; don't get angry, don't get angry."
"This roasted spiritual pigeon smells good; come and let Uncle Master taste it."
Lu Chen slapped his hand away and said, "Go aside."
Xiao Chuang retreated to the side in frustration.
Xiao Ye found it very amusing: "Uncle, you are one of the five peak masters, but are you afraid of Senior Brother Lu?"
Xiao Chuang replied unhappily, "What do you know, girl? I'm not afraid of him."
"I'm giving face to his Senior Brother."
Xiao Ye laughed even harder.
Observing how easily Lu Chen controlled her uncle, Xiao Ye found it quite intriguing.
"Senior Brother Lu is also very interesting."
Xiao Chuang became alert, staring at his niece, "Girl, your uncle warns you to stay away from him in the future."
Xiao Ye insisted, "Uncle, I haven't even become a disciple of Lingxiao Peak yet."
Xiao Chuang said, "Don't worry; there will be no issue with your becoming a disciple of Lingxiao Peak."
Xiao Ye added, "If I become Master Lin's disciple, Senior Brother Lu will be my second Senior Brother. We will all live here together. How can I stay away from him?"
Xiao Chuang's expression froze, and finally, he continued exhorting her in a serious tone, "Anyway, uncle doesn't care; just stay away from him in the future."
"You must not become like him."
After about an hour, Lu Chen, who was lying on the hammock, suddenly changed his expression and glanced northwest for a while. His expression returned to normal as he continued looking at his Tianji card.
Xiao Chuang's face lit up, "They are back."
Soon, a stream of light zipped through the distance and landed before everyone.
A middle-aged man and a young man appeared before them.
The middle-aged man had a kind face and a smile that instantly made people feel comfortable.
The young man carried an ancient long sword on his back; his stern face was etched with determination and sharp eyes.
When Xiao Ye saw him, it felt as if she were gazing upon a sword unsheathed, exuding an intimidating edge.
Xiao Chuang approached and greeted, "Junior Brother Lin, Junior Nephew Ji Yan, congratulations on your victory."
"Junior Nephew Ji Yan has made our Qingyun Sect proud at the competition this time. Thank you for your hard work."
Ji Yan said nonchalantly, "They were all weak opponents; it wasn't challenging."
His tone held neither contempt nor arrogance, and everyone knew that he was merely stating the truth.
Lin Tian politely bowed in return, "Senior Brother Xiao, you are too kind. This is all for the sect; what's impressive about hard work?"
Lu Chen, still lying on the hammock, asked, "Master, did you bring me a gift?"
Lin Tian answered, somewhat unhappily, "No, go away."
