Chapter 38 You Are A Great Actor

As Wang Chen ascended the mountain, he couldn't help but marvel at the breath-taking scenery around him.

The mountain was shrouded in a thick mist that made it seem mystical and otherworldly. The trees and plants were lush and green, and the air was filled with the sweet fragrance of blooming flowers.

As he walked further up the mountain, Wang Chen muttered to himself, "This mountain's Qi is so dense. No wonder it's the perfect place for cultivators to train and advance their skills." He took a deep breath and felt the Qi entering his body, invigorating his spirit.

The mountain on which Wang Chen stood belonged to none other than Su Chen,

As a core disciple, Su Chen was granted an entire mountain as his cabin.

The vast mountain was more than just a simple cabin; it was a symbol of Su Chen's status in the sect.

It was said that only the most talented and promising disciples could even dream of obtaining a mountain as their own, let alone have it surrounded by Qi like a mist.

The status of a core disciple was akin to that of an elder in the sect, and some of the elders held on to their prestigious status as core disciples even after decades of service.

To become a core disciple, one had to have achieved the realm of core transformation in cultivation, a feat that was not easily accomplished.

'Let's hope all goes according to the plan.' Wang Chen thought as he approached the entrance of the cave, feeling a sense of nervous anticipation.

As he stood there, a voice echoed from within, beckoning him to enter.

"Come in," the voice said.

Wang Chen stepped into the cave and found himself face to face with Su Chen, who was seated calmly on a rock.

"Ah, Brother Wang," Su Chen greeted him warmly, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "Congratulations on your breakthrough to the fourth stage of Enlightenment Realm. I see your cultivation is progressing well."

Wang Chen complimented Su Chen, "You're too polite, considering your talent. I'm nothing compared to you."

Su Chen couldn't see through the extent of Wang Chen's progress after he had practiced the Celestial Thief Technique. Wang Chen simply wanted to showcase some of his improvements to Su Chen, so that he could assure him that his personal invitation to join the faction was not in vain.

Su Chen smiled and responded, "You shouldn't be so modest, brother Wang. Your potential is quite apparent, and you have made significant progress in a short period of time. Now, may I ask what brings you here today?"

"I'm here to help you, Brother Su," Wang Chen replied.

"What do you mean by help?" Hearing Wang Chen's reply, Su Chen became confused and questioned.

"I'm talking about your current situation," Wang Chen said with a serious expression.

"Current condition? What are you talking about?" Su Chen said as his eyebrows raised.

"Sigh! Brother, I know that you can't focus on your cultivation, and I can help you with it," Wang Chen said.

"There..." Su Chen wanted to say something, but he stopped upon hearing what Wang Chen said next.

"Brother Su, I know you don't trust me fully yet. But first, hear my plan..." Wang Chen then explained his plan.

As the sun began to set, a young man named Xue Feng made his way towards Su Chen's cave. Xue Feng was a disciple and one of the most trustworthy followers of Su Chen, known for his dedication to his master and the cultivation path.

As Xue Feng approached the cave, he heard some voices coming from inside. Curious and worried.

"Is everything alright in there?" he asked as he entered the cave without waiting for permission.

As he walked in, Xue Feng saw Su Chen coughing up blood and his face was pale. Xue Feng was shocked to see another person in the cave, Wang Chen, who was helping Su Chen to stand up.

Without hesitation, Xue Feng rushed to Su Chen's side and help him to sit down.

Xue Feng's heart raced as he rushed to Su Chen's side. "Master Su, what happened? Are you alright?" he asked, worry etched on his face.

Su Chen looked up weakly and smiled at his follower. "I'm fine, Xue Feng. Don't worry about me," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.

Xue Feng then pulled out a pill from his pocket and handed it to Su Chen. "Here, take this pill. It will help with the pain," he said, his voice full of concern.

Su Chen took the pill gratefully and soon the pain started to recede from his face.

"Thank you, Xue Feng," Su Chen said gratefully.

"It's nothing," Xue Feng said.

"What happened?" Xue Feng asked Wang Chen, turning to him.

"I came to seek some advice from Brother Su, but when I got here, he suddenly started coughing up blood," Wang Chen explained, his voice filled with worry.

Xue Feng nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation.

"I'll stay with you, Master Su. You don't have to be alone," Xue Feng said firmly.

Su Chen smiled weakly at Xue Feng's words, his tired eyes glancing over to his follower. "Thank you for your kind offer, Xue Feng," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "But I would prefer to rest alone for now."

After Su Chen spoke, both Xue Feng and Wang Chen reluctantly agreed and left the cave.

…..

Later on, Wang Chen returned to Su Chen's cave and looked at Su Chen, who had closed his eyes.

"Brother Su, I never knew you were such a great actor," Wang Chen said, smiling.

Upon hearing Wang Chen's voice, Su Chen opened his eyes and spat out the pill Xue Feng had given him.

"Now, shall we proceed with the other part of the plan?" Su Chen asked, his eyes cold.
