Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator

It was already evening when Zhan Chen opened his eyes. He checked his body condition with his soul consciousness and a satisfied look appeared on his face.

"As expected of dual cultivation. It reduced my recuperation time from one day to several hours", he thought to himself.

After checking his own condition, he turned to look towards Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min. All three of them were cultivating ardently with their eyes closed. Zhan Chen observed them for a moment. Then he shifted his gaze towards the shadow panther who was lying atop a huge gigantic tree.

"What a lazy girl", he murmured to himself.

The shadow panther had a keen sense about the changes in the surrounding. It quickly found out that Zhan Chen was looking at her. She climbed down the tree and went forward to nestle with Zhan Chen.

Zhan Chen played with her for a while. He shifted his gaze towards the three girls after he saw Li Yan opening her eyes.

Li Yan stopped cultivating due to the changes in the surrounding. Essence energy started to deplete at a constant rate and she was forced to stop her cultivation.

She turned to look towards Li Shu and Kai Min after opening her eyes. Her gaze automatically shifted towards them because they were the reason for the constant depletion of surrounding energy.

A look of astonishment appeared in her eyes after she observed Kai Min and Li Shu. "Both of them are attempting a breakthrough simultaneously!", she murmured to herself.

She observered them for a while. Then she turned to look towards Zhan Chen.

"How is your cultivation?", Zhan Chen inquired with a smile on his face.

"It is good but not as fast as them", Li Yan replied with a hint of frustration in her voice.

"Are you feeling jealous?", Zhan Chen looked at her with a teasing look on his face.

"It most be you. Tell me, have you given some pills to them?", she looked towards Zhan Chen.

"It is not pills. But I have given them the most valuable thing of mine to eat", Zhan Chen replied with a mischievous look on his face.

Li Yan felt curious after hearing the mysterious reply from Zhan Chen. She didn't notice the mischievous look on his face just before replying to her.

"Tell me, what is your most valuable treasure that you have given to them?", she asked curiously.

"Come a little closer", Zhan Chen beckoned his hand towards her.

Li Yan didn't doubt anything and came closer. But a confused look appeared on her face after she heard the words of Zhan Chen.

"It is about my supreme tresure. They just massaged it a bit and it blessed them with potent cultivation liquid. They just have to drink it and you can see that they are already on the verge of breakthrough ", Zhan Chen spoke.

Li Yan took a while to understand the words of Zhan Chen. The look of confusion on her face changed to one of embarassment and anger.

"Zhan Chen, you pervert!", she yelled out with a red blush on her face.

Zhan Chen laughed out loudly after seeing her embarassed expression. Unlike her, he had no reservation infront of her. So, he proudly bragged about his yang essence without thinking about any morale burden.

Li Yan's cheeks stay reddened even after the passing of few minutes. She tried to calm down herself but a weird thought struck her mind after she took a look at Li Shu and Kai Min.

"Is his essence so miraculous?", she thought to herself before blushing deeply.

"This pervert has corrupted my mind", she thought angrily while staring at Zhan Chen.

Their little teasing game continued for a while but they had to stop due to a sudden interruption.

A powerful soul aura approached their place like a raging tide and Li Yan 's body stiffened up as a result.

"Relax. He is an ally", Zhan Chen comforted her. The powerful soul aura receded after a while and the silhouette of an amiable looking old man appeared infront of Zhan Chen and Li Yan.

"You are indeed sharp as the grand elder has explained", the amiable looking old man spoke to Zhan Chen.

"Good evening senior", Zhan Chen greeted the old cultivator.

"No need to be so polite with me. Tell me, why have you requested the assistance of our Lu clan?", the old cultivator looked towards Zhan Chen.

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

"Girl, don't be sad. I will come get you once the formalities of the Grand sect competetion is over", Zhan Chen spoke softly as he patted the head of the shadow panther.

The shadow panther kept rubbing her forehead against his chest and Zhan Chen had to struggle a bit before he could send her away. The other three magical beasts left with her and Zhan Chen finally took a sigh in relief.

"You are rather intimate with this magical beast. Do you need any extra arrangement for it", the old expert looked towards Zhan Chen.

"No senior, she would be fine on her own", Zhan Chen replied.

The old expert took out a boat shaped object from his spatial ring and made it float in the air. It became large within the blink of an eye and it brought a huge shock to Li Yan, Kai Min and Li Shu.

"If it is a grade higher, then I could have brought her with me", Zhan Chen murmured under his breath as he thought about the shadow panther.

The old expert helped the girls to climb the flying treasure and looked at Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen easily jumped into the sky and climbed the flying treasure with relative ease.

"How interesting!", the old expert thought inside his mind and appeared inside the flying treasure.

"Where are we going?", he looked at Zhan Chen with a questioning look on his face.

"Brilliant flame city", Zhan Chen replied without second thought. The old export nodded his head and steered the flying treasure towards the higher sky.

Clouds went past one by one as the three girls enjoyed their ride with comfort and excitement. Zhan Chen and the old expert kept talking with eachother as they discussed about various details of the Northern desert continent.

Zhan Chen learned the name of the old expert while talking with him. His name was Lu Tai Cang and he was one of the elder of the Lu clan.

"Senior Cang, if you don't mind, can I ask a question?", Zhan Chen looked towards the old expert.

"What is there to mind about the words of a junior. Ask me whatever you want", Lu Tai Cang spoke with a smile on his face.

"Senior Cang, is there no Tribulation realm female expert in your clan?", Zhan Chen looked towards Lu Tai Cang.

"Who said you that? We have Tribulation realm female experts but their numbers are few", Lu Tai Cang replied to Zhan Chen.

"Why are you asking about them?", Lu Tai Cang looked towards Zhan Chen curiously.

"Nothing specific. I thought my journey will be more interesting if a female expert joins us in our journey", Zhan Chen replied.

"You have requested for a female Tribulation realm expert from our clan just because you find them more interesting!", Lu Tai Cang looked towards Zhan Chen with a stunned expression on his face. Zhan Chen nodded his head in reply as he couldn't say the exact reason to Lu Tai Cang.
