Chapter 151: Third Uncle Seeks Help, Cao Bandit?

After a long while, Chen Chusheng finally recovered; he got to his feet, his eyes fixed on his younger brother Chen Chuyang, unfathomable, he couldn't beat him, so he could only obey obediently; he had thought his cultivation had risen, his body had risen, his strength had at least gone up several levels, the confidence he had just regained was once again ruthlessly shattered.

He felt hurt; he had always been stronger than his brother before, but he didn't know when it started, he was no longer his brother's match, and afterwards he could never catch up; his younger brother Chen Chuyang was mysterious, forever shrouded in a veil that could not be lifted.

This time he wanted to test a little, to see his brother's true strength, but he found nothing.

The clown turned out to be himself.

He was truly convinced.

"Big brother, what's there to look at?"

"Chuyang, how do you cultivate?"

Chen Chusheng was very curious; his brother had always been on the mountain, yet his strength was so great—the brother who used to be inferior to him in childhood had truly grown up.

But he felt awful; his brother surpassing him made him feel as if this elder brother had no face left, and his few sources of pride gradually drifted away from him.

His sister Chen Churan had good talent, he couldn't compare, and he accepted it.

But now his brother was like that too, and Chen Chusheng realized he was the weakest in the Chen Clan, the worst in talent; for a moment he couldn't accept it—although he had known before, he kept convincing himself he wasn't the worst, but after today he fully faced reality.

Self-deception is useless; it would be better to learn from his brother, then surpass both brother and sister, and return to his position as elder brother once more.

"It's simple—farm every day."

"……"

This statement wasn't just unbelieved by Chen Chusheng; even Shang Hongxue beside him didn't believe it—under heaven, where could there be such a good thing?

If farming could raise cultivation, then wouldn't farmers be the strongest under heaven?

That's impossible.

"Brother Chuyang, stop fooling us—how could farming raise cultivation?"

Shang Hongxue was the first to disbelieve, but thinking of Brother Chuyang's strength, she began to believe a little.

Brother Chuyang loved farming, also loved planting various spiritual herbs, researching them, and spent all his time on them.

Though she had stayed on Longshe Shan and knew Brother Chuyang's cultivation method, deep down she still didn't believe this.

It must be that Brother Chuyang secretly cultivated behind her back.

"Exactly, Hongxue is right—you're definitely fooling us."

The two of them aren't fools; how could they possibly believe such a thing?

Chen Chusheng was the first to disbelieve, suspecting that this brother refused to tell him.

Chen Chuyang glanced at the two, then said slowly, "That's the facts—believe it or not, it's up to you."

"Big brother, your cultivation has risen by one level, and your body has greatly improved; I believe you feel it. Over the next two days you need to adapt to your body, stabilize your cultivation—for that I've specially arranged some plans."

"The specific plan is as follows: you, right now, go immediately to reclaim the spirit fields."

Chen Chusheng was full of question marks.

Pointing at himself, he asked Chen Chuyang, "Me reclaim the spirit fields? Are you sure?"

"That's right, it's you—the spirit fields down the mountain aren't enough; you need to reclaim them, and in these two days you must reclaim at least twenty plots."

"You cannot use true qi, nor any other power; you must reclaim with your physical strength alone."

"Huh?" Chen Chusheng felt a bit dazed, looking at Chen Chuyang, not understanding.

"Can I not do it?"

"What do you say?"

Chen Chuyang assigned the task, not caring about his attitude, reached out and tapped a few points on his body, sealing his true qi.

To prevent the elder brother from secretly using true qi, which would prevent achieving that effect.

Chen Chusheng was dazed; his true qi was sealed, and he could not mobilize it.

"Chuyang, must it be like this?"

"It's obvious you doubt me."

"Do I mean so little trust in your heart?"

"Alright, hurry up and get to work; come back up when you're done."

"The second refinement will be more dangerous than the first—you need to be mentally prepared."

Chen Chusheng widened his eyes, unable to believe it.

"Chuyang, you wouldn't be trying to kill me, would you?"

"This brother is taking revenge on me, tormenting me."

"He must have thought up some new way to torment me; Chen Chusheng wants to leave Longshe Shan."

"A brother like this is too terrifying."

"He will die."

"By the way, big brother, don't even think about going down the mountain—the formation below has been updated; without my permission you can't get out, and if you happen to fall into the formation it could be very dangerous; if something happens then, don't blame me for not warning you."

"……"

Chen Chusheng put away that little thought, he didn't dare have it again.

Obediently going down the mountain to work, this brother was clearly warning him.

Shang Hongxue saw how the brothers interacted; it didn't look like older and younger brother, but rather like father and son.

Compared to her own sister, who was even more terrifying toward her, in her heart there was only one sentence: Brother Chuyang is awesome.

The heavens-reversing Brother Chuyang directly suppressed the elder brother; if she could learn even a thing or two, Shang Hongchen would be no match for her.

"Brother Chuyang, teach me—how did you manage to suppress your elder brother?"

"It's simple—come, let Brother Chuyang tell you personally."

"……"

Afternoon.

A guest arrived on Longshe Shan.

The long-unseen Third Uncle went up the mountain again.

Upon seeing Chen Chuyang, Third Uncle immediately grasped his hand, looking pitiful.

"Chuyang, Third Uncle's dear nephew, you must help Third Uncle; this time Third Uncle really is going to die."

"Only you can help me; if you don't help me, Third Uncle will die this time."

Chen Chuyang let go of Third Uncle's hand, but Third Uncle still wanted to hold on, and Chen Chuyang pushed him away.

Just looking at Third Uncle's state, one could tell something was wrong.

"Speak up, what exactly happened?"

Only then did Third Uncle notice Shang Hongxue beside Chen Chuyang, staring at him as if he were an idiot.

Their face flushed involuntarily.

Lasting less than a second, Third Uncle waved at Shang Hongxue: "It's Hongxue lass, you're here too."

"Third... Third Uncle, hello."

"Good, good, good lass, come, this is from Third Uncle for you."

Third Uncle directly took out a pile of spirit stones and handed them to Shang Hongxue; upon their first formal meeting, he liked being called Third Uncle, Shang Hongxue tilted her head, asked Chen Chuyang, Chen Chuyang nodded, indicating she should accept.

Only then did Shang Hongxue accept it, not forgetting to sweetly thank Third Uncle.

"Thank you, Third Uncle."

"You're welcome, Third Uncle is very happy today, Hongxue lass; if this brat bullies you in the future, just go to Third Uncle, Third Uncle will help you beat him."

Shang Hongxue muttered softly: "Chuyang older brother won't bully me."

Seeing this, Third Uncle secretly gave Chen Chuyang a thumbs-up; with this move, Chen Chuyang is currently the strongest in the Chen Clan, without equal.

Thinking of his elder brother Chen Yuan, such a domineering person, in the end he was still subdued by his sister-in-law.

Chen Yuan is uxorious, and Shang Yingnian is the same; most of the Chen Clan are like that.

This nephew Chen Chuyang actually turned the tables, letting Chen Shen broaden his horizons; those maneuvers just now were something his elder brother Chen Yuan did not have.

Indeed, this nephew of his is the most promising person in the Chen Clan, without equal.
