Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator

Although Zhan Chen had lived for fifty years in his previous life, he was actually a blank book when it came to relationship. The current him was more experienced in this matter than his previous self.

In this life, he had no significant achievement in cultivation but he had his fair share of dubious encounters. "What is going to come will come eventually", Zhan Chen thought to himself as he heard the news of his fourth sister coming home. ​​

He looked at the name of the spirit medicines again. Healing his body was his current priority. So, he focused his attention on the spirit medicines again.

"These second grade spirit medicines are no big deal but I still need money to purchase them", he thought to himself. Every second grade spirit medicine was priced around two hundred to eight hundred silver coins. He needed at least three thousand silver coins to purchase the required spirit medicines.

Zhan Chen thought for a moment. Then he ordered for feather pen and paper. Little Tao felt shock but she still went to fetch pen and paper for him. "Is young master trying to be a scholar now?", she thought to herself.

Zhan Chen wrote something quickly on the piece of paper. Then he folded it and looked towards little Tao.

"Have you seen uncle Lu today?"

"No, I haven't", Little Tao shook her head.

"It seems like uncle Lu is busy in doing something else. I have to think of other way to fetch the medicines without alerting anyone", Zhan Chen murmured to himself. He thought for a while and shook his head after sometime.

"Looks like I have to trouble that fatty again". He smiled after thinking about the aggrieved face of a troubled fatty.

"What, this paper is worth hundred gold coins!, a round looking fat boy shouted in a surprised voice. He was Xu Wenhong, the most intimate friend of Zhan Chen in the group of his silk pant friends.

Xu clan was a prominent clan of Red cloud kingdom and they were famous for their skill in doing business. Xu Wenhong was the only son of current patriarch of Xu clan.

"Is big brother slammed his head somewhere? How can a paper become worth of hundred gold coins?", Xu Wenhong spoke with a pondering look on his face.

For the people of Red cloud kingdom, a gold coin was worth a fortune. One gold coin was equal to hunded silver coin and one silver coin was worth hundred bronze coins. Thus it was no wonder that Xu Wenhong felt agitated after listening to the boastful claim of Zhan Chen.

"Looks like big brother became an idiot after being beaten by the Gu clan. I have to tell this information to his family members as soon as possible. He needs to be treated immediately", Xu Wenhong pondered in his mind.

"Give me the paper". He snatched the paper and scanned through the content. A confused look appeared on his face after he read the entire paper.

"Hmm, looks like big brother needs some spirit medicines but why is he asking me to get it? He could have asked his family members!", Xu Wenhong could not understand the intention of Zhan Chen.

"Forget it, I will arrange these spirit medicines for him. I can't take revenge. So, it is the least I can do for him", Xu Wenhong thought to himself.

"Tell big brother that I am thinking about visiting him. But my father is watching over me now. I will be in trouble if I visit Zhan's estate", Xu Wenhong spoke to the servant who had delivered the paper to him.

"You can return now", he dismissed the servant of Zhan's estate and strolled outside. He crossed a group of luxurious buildings and soon reached near the most magnificent looking building. He walked inside and a luxurious courtyard appeared Infront of his eyes.

There was a old man sitting on a sandalwood chair. There were two beautiful maids who were standing quitely in a corner. The old man had a plain looking face but he was wearing luxurious clothes all over his body.

"Little Hong. Are you here to visit your grandfather?", the old man beamed at Xu Wenhong. "Who is here to visit you? It is just that I need some money", Xu Wenhong retorted sharply. His good mood ruined after seeing the beaming old man.

"You can request for any amount but you know the condition", the Oldman beamed at Xu Wenhong. "Fine, I need hundred gold coins", Xu Wenhong replied.

A slight surprise appeared in the eyes of old man but he quickly regained his cool. He beamed at Xu Wenhong more happily. It was like losing hundred gold coins was the happiest matter to him. "Are you giving it or not?", Xu Wenhong asked with irritation.

"How about six month?", the old man asked with a smiling face. "No, three months at most", Xu Wenhong replied firmly.

"Deal", the old man beamed again. Xu Wenhong got the money but he returned with a downcast look on his face. "Damn this old man. So stinky even though I am his only grandson. Now I have to sacrifice my freedom for three months", Xu Wenhong greeted his teeth.

"Follow Wenhong secretly. I want to know what is he doing", the old man looked at a corner where a ordinary looking middle aged man was standing quitely. "Yes master", he bowed his head and walked outside.

Hours passed since Zhan Chen was studying the vast content about the dual cultivation. There were very few pages in the Profound path of Dual cultivation book but every page was like a massive knowledge trove. The contents in a single page seemed like endless to him. As long as he channeled his spiritual energy, he could read the contents of the page.

Zhan Chen was looking through it since yesterday but he had yet to fully read a single page. He wondered how much books it would have taken if the contents were to be written on simple books of this world. He came out of the diagram world and rested for a bit.

He heard sounds coming from outside of his room. He spread his soul consciousness and saw his mother with a elegant looking young girl. She is Zhan Qingyue, the fourth Miss of general Zhan's estate. Zhan Chen felt various undescribable emotions welling up within his heart after seeing her.

Her face was like the gentle breeze of morning. Elegant and beautiful. Zhan Chen felt his breath stopped for a moment after seeing her. She had grown more beautiful than before. Zhan Chen's soul sense glued to her after he saw her.

"Qingyue, how can you be so reckless? You shouldn't have go to the Royal academy", Li Qingzhao spoke with concern. "Aunt, are you also blaming me?", Qingyue looked at Li Qingzhao with her beautiful eyes. "My girl, how can I blame you? I am just saying that it is a little reckless from you", Li Qingzhao explained. "I know aunt is best to me", Zhan Qingyue held the arm of Li Qingzhao. At this moment she was like a spoiled girl despite her age.

Both of them entered the room of Zhan Chen simultaneously. Qingyue's facial expression changed after seeing Zhan Chen. "How dare they? It looks like I have gone easy on Gu Hao", Qingyue growled as soon as she saw the condition of Zhan Chen.

At this moment she was not a spoiled and elegant looking girl. She turned swiftly into a fierce tigress. Zhan Chen could feel her concern for him. Unspeakable emotion appeared in his heart when he saw her concern for him.

"Big sis, Please don't worry. I am feeling better than yesterday", Zhan Chen opened his mouth and spoke to Qingyue.

"Little Chen, are you really ok? Are you feeling hurt?", Qingyue asked with concern in her eyes. Li Qingzhao left after spending some time in the room of Zhan Chen. She had her own personal cultivation to care about. So, she couldn't afford to waste much time.

Zhan Qingyue closed the door as soon as Zhan Chen's mother left. "Let me check your injuries first", she spoke with an anxious voice. It was clear that she was feeling worried after seeing Zhan Chen lying down

on his bed.

She brought away the bed sheet which was covering Zhan Chen's body and the almost naked body of Zhan Chen came to her view. A blush appeared on her face after she saw his uncoveed body.

Her blush deepened as she touched the injured places of Zhan Chen. "It is very painful, right?", she asked Zhan Chen with concern in her eyes.
