Chapter 276 -140: The Earthly Grass and Woods Desire Longevity, The Luo Family’s Grace Ends in This Calamity (Extra Chapter for Monthly Tickets)_1 Chapter 276 -140: The Earthly Grass and Woods Desire Longevity, The Luo Family’s Grace Ends in This Calamity (Extra Chapter for Monthly Tickets)_1 The once Qi Cultivating Loose Cultivator, now returned for another visit, has astonishingly become a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator.
There was nothing particularly unusual about that.
Even cultivators with low-grade spiritual roots could potentially reach the Foundation Establishment Stage.
However, it was astounding that Chen Dengming, who was a dying old man back in the days, had actually progressed from innate martial prowess to the Foundation Establishment Stage in a short span of nearly five years.
When Luo Bing heard the words ‘Gu Daoist’, she was still somewhat skeptical and all sorts of thoughts swept through her mind.
“He does possess a secret, a genuine secret, is it the Dao Orthodoxy mentioned by the Sect Leader?”
“After the Demon Star attains the Dao Orthodoxy, the late-stage Golden Core could suppress the early-stage Nascent Soul, now it is even more unfathomable…”
“While his combat power remains uncertain, his astonishing speed of cultivation is indeed real, if it really is him…
as for Xu Wei…”
As various thoughts surfaced, Luo Bing was already inside the VIP hall.
...
The moment she saw Chen Dengming’s face, which was both unfamiliar yet familiar, it instantly awakened her.
She regained her composure, her facial expression returned to one of cold indifference, seemingly unassailable.

“I never expected…it’s truly you?”
Luo Bing lightly frowned as she walked into the hall and waved her hands, immediately ordering all the servants to leave.
Noticing Xier’s confused footsteps retreating behind her, she turned her head and directed softly
“Xi’er, you can leave!
I want to talk to him alone.”
At the entrance to the hall, Xi’er was taken aback.
The next moment, as she perceived the subtle repressed aura emitting from the room, she felt a little dazed.
Immediately, she bowed and left.
As she left the hallway, her heart was still filled with distress.
She glanced towards the far end of the residence where a row of buildings stood.
Xu Wei was there.
She bit her lip and quickly headed there.
…
Inside the hall.
When Luo Bing arrived, Chen Dengming had already stood up and was smilingly giving salutations.
He had been grateful to Luo Bing who introduced him to the Cultivation World back in the day.
Not to mention, this woman had provided him with the Luo family’s badge and cooperated with him subsequently, which helped him a lot, thus helping him quickly stabilize his footing and enhance his strength.
Although there were transactions of interest involved and the other party showed a ‘no-debt-owing’ realistic demeanor, he still held gratitude towards her.
After all, Xu Wei had been under Luo Bing and Luo Family’s protection these years.
This was a favor he owed.
Otherwise, amidst the war-ravaged outside world, Xu Wei might have been dead by now.
So, despite his main intention of this visit was to take Xu Wei away, Chen Dengming still planned to cordially ask Luo Bing about the current situation of the Luo family while catching up.
“How’s the Luo family doing?
We’re fine, you can see for yourself, we have already left the Southern Region and settled in the Eastern Region.”
Regarding Chen Dengming’s kindness and politeness, Luo Bing showed no expression on her face.
Her heart was fluctuating with various emotions.
As she carefully responded, “I never expected that when we meet again, Daoist friend Chen, you would have become a Foundation Establishment Minister!”
“Such a cultivation speed, even I, with my superior spiritual roots, have to resign in admiration.
Is it possible that there was a mistake in the spiritual root detection on you?”
While uttering these rather jesting words, she walked to the table and personally poured tea for Chen Dengming.
Chen Dengming, the clever man he was, understood the meaning behind her words as he looked at her side profile with loose hair.
Thinking about how the Miaoyin Sect sought out him after that incident and Luo Bing, in the end, got punished to the Repentance Cave because of it, it was obvious that she knew a lot of information.
Some information, however hard he tried to conceal, would be useless because neither of them was a fool.
After considering for a while, he laughed and said.
“What if I told you that I, like you, Luo Daoist friend, now have Superior-grade Spiritual Roots?”
Luo Bing’s hand, which was like snow, paused slightly.
She moved her delicate body a little and her clear and distinct eyes solemnly stared at him, and spoke indifferently, “Are you, as the sect said, someone with a secret, a big secret, have you come into contact with the Human Immortal Dao System?
A Dao system similar to the Demon Star’s?”
Chen Dengming’s eyes flashed with a frightening glint as he deeply gazed at Luo Bing, “As I thought, the Miaoyin Sect came looking for me because of the Dao system that the Demon Star has come into contact with.
But I can tell you, I have not come into contact with any Dao systems.”
Luo Bing scoffed suddenly; this mocking, ambiguous smirk appearing on her frosty face gave off an eagerness that she needed to prove something in front of him.
She calmly said.
“Daoist friend Chen, I think you and I should be honest with each other.
When you were first introduced into the Cultivation World by me, your bone age and spiritual roots had already been measured by the five of us.
Such a thing can’t be mistaken.
“If you didn’t get in touch with the Dao system, how could you have turned the tide and become a cultivator of the Foundation Establishment Stage and moreover…
are you saying that you now possess superior-grade spiritual roots?”
Turning the tables, she took the teacup, approached Chen Dengming, and said, “Let’s not discuss these facts for now.
Since you know the existence of the Dao system, how could you not have come into contact with it?
As a Loose Cultivator, where did you get the information from?”
While speaking, she gracefully approached Chen Dengming, her gaze fixed on him, as if wanting to see through the secrets deep within his spirit.
She handed over the teacup in her hand.
Chen Dengming took the teacup, smiled leisurely, and said, “Daost friend Luo, you don’t need to test any further.
Indeed, I have already joined a sect.
Otherwise, knowing that Miaoyin Sect was looking for me, I wouldn’t have dared to come to your Luo Family.
“I came here this time to take Xu Wei away, and also to thank you for taking care of her over the years.
If you have any difficulties, feel free to tell me.
If it’s within my capabilities…”
