Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator

"Is not it the second young master of Lu family? Why is he here?", the cultivators in the vicinity started to gossip among themselves.

The young man who was leading the group of five approached the entrance of the valley with unhurried steps. When he approached the group of Black rock castle, his gaze involuntarily fell upon Shen Ruyan who was standing with Liu Nanxi in a corner.

His eyes lit up and he scanned Shen Ruyan from top to bottom. "What a high quality beauty!", the young man exclaimed loudly.

He avoided the cultivators who were greeting him and walked towards Shen Ruyan. His followers moved with him and the group of five approached Shen Ruyan.

"Miss, my name is Lu Weifang. May I know who miss is?", the young man who was leading the group of five asked Shen Ruyan.

A frown appeared on the face of Liu Nanxi as she looked towards Lu Weifang coldly. But she could see the cultivation of people behind Lu Weifang. So, she refrained herself from taking any action.

"Young master Lu, we are not acquainted, right?", Shen Ruyan looked towards Lu Weifang. Lu Weifang looked at the eyes of Shen Ruyan and a glint appeared in his eyes.

"Miss, there is no point in hiding your identity. If you want, I can invite you for some tea and we can be acquainted", Lu Weifang spoke with a smile.

"Not interested", Shen Ruyan replied. She was trying her best to suppress her disgust towards Lu Weifang.

Lu Weifang became stunned for a moment after hearing the reply of Shen Ruyan. Then, a grin appeared on his face as he scanned Shen Ruyan from top to bottom once again.

"I have never taken 'no' as a reply. I will wait untill you say your name on your own", Lu Weifang spoke as an evil grin appeared on his face. Then, he signaled the people behind him and walked towards the entrance of the valley.

"Miss, what should we do? There are three fifth stage experts following behind that brat", Liu Nanxi spoke with a grave tone in her voice.

Shen Ruyan knitted her brows as she watched the fading silhouette of Lu Weifang and his group. She knew who Lu Weifang was as she had always taken note of super powers of Western region.

"Lu family is getting more unbridled after their association with Heavenly sword sect. Send a signal for our experts to come over. We can't give up on the inheritance at this moment", Shen Ruyan spoke.

Liu Nanxi nodded her head and took out a yellow coloured paper from her storage pouch. There were strange looking symbols inscribed on the yellow coloured paper. If Zhan Chen was here, he would have immediately noticed that it was an communication talisman used to notify the location to the allied warriors.

Lu Nanxi infused her true essence energy into the communication tailsman and the symbols on the tailsman lit up after few seconds.

"I have sent the signal. We will wait untill our experts come over", Liu Nanxi spoke. Shen Ruyan nodded her head and looked towards the group of Black rock castle.

The middle-aged leader of Black rock castle was also looking at the group of Shen Ruyan and Liu Nanxi. He could see the intention of Lu Weifang when Lu Weifang was talking with Shen Ruyan. So, he wanted to see what Shen Ruyan was planning to deal with Lu Weifang.

He noticed the action of Liu Nanxi as he watched her sending a signall through the tailsman. A hesitant look appeared on his face as his eyes flickered.

"Should I warn her or not?", he felt conflicted inside his mind. Finally, he made his mind and walked towards Shen Ruyan.

"Miss, are you planning to contest for the inheritance of the valley?", he asked Shen Ruyan.

Shen Ruyan nodded her head and looked towards the middle aged man. She wanted to see what the middle aged man want to say. The previous battle with him left a good impression on her mind.

"Miss, you should leave. The Lu family has other experts and I am sure Lu Weifang had contacted them already. Even the experts of my Black rock castle were rushing over at this moment", the middle aged man spoke.

A surprised look appeared on the face of Shen Ruyan after hearing the words of the middle aged man. She had never expected that the middle aged man would be such such an honest person.

"Thanks for your concern. But I have already set up my mind", Shen Ruyan spoke. A disappointed look appeared on the face of the middle aged man after he head Shen Ruyan.

"Good luck then. I hope you know when to give up", the middle aged leader spoke and left towards his group.

"Wait a minute", suddenly the voice of Shen Ruyan came from behind. The middle aged leader stopped and turned to look towards Shen Ruyan.

"Miss, is there anything you need?", the middle aged leader of Black rock castle asked.

"Leave behind your name", Shen Ruyan looked towards the middle aged man.

"Mo Zhi", the leader of Black rock castle group introduced himself and walked to his group. The members of his group threw some meaningful glances towards him but he ignored them altogether. He knew despite the speculation of his group, there was nothing between him and the beautiful lady in the distance.

---------------

Zhan Chen had no idea about the situation of Shen Ruyan. He was busy with Kai Min at this moment.

"Pah! Pah! Pah", Zhan Chen kept thrusting his spear inside the cave of Kai Min. Kai Min was facing her back towards Zhan Chen and she was moaning time to time as a result.

It didn't take time for her to reach her limit and Zhan Chen deposited his Yang essence inside her cave after thrusting for few more minutes.

Zhan Chen took out his spear from Kai Min's cave after depositing his Yang essence inside her sacred treasure. A trickle of white came out from Kai Min's cave after Zhan Chen took out his spear out of her cave.

"You can take some rest. The yin essence inside you is only half removed at this point. Lend me your storage pouch. I will go and collect some herbs. After that, we will leave the herb mountain", Zhan Chen spoke.

Kai Min nodded her head and picked her storage pouch from the ground. Zhan Chen took it and dashed towards the entrance of the herb mountain.

Zhan Chen was keeping an eye on the battle situation of Purple crown lion. After battling tirelessly for hours, the Purple crown lion was at its limit. Moreover, the number of fifth stage experts were growing steadily. Zhan Chen didn't want to take risk. So, he decided to harvest the most valuable herbs and leave before other experts enter the herb mountain.
