Chapter 342: Chapter 341: Tianling 9 Peaks Can’t Cure It
"What happened?" Blade Master Hai Bian was the first to arrive after Chu Qing brandished her hammer.
Chu Qing put away the Thunder Mark Hammer and shook her head. "It’s nothing. Something strange came out of the water, and I knocked it back in."
"Something happened to Chu Qing. As his older sister, she’s on edge and bound to do something irrational. Just ignore her." Mo Yan came over as well.
"If you don’t get some proper rest, you’re going to burn out too." Liuyue Xue and the others all walked over.
Liu Yiyi asked Chu Qing, "Aren’t you going to contact your parents? They’re here too, right?"
Chu Qing shook her head. "I don’t have my phone, and Chu Qing’s was destroyed."
When Chu Qing was injured, pretty much everything on him was destroyed.
Liu Yiyi said, "I’ll contact Xiaomo then."
Chu Qing nodded. "Thank you, Sister Yiyi."
At this point, Mo Yan asked curiously, "By the way, I was in a hurry to escape. How did Chu Qing get hurt? It’s not like he took a hit for one of you, right?"
Blade Master Hai Bian shook his head. "No. What injured Chu Qing was a wheel-shaped Magical Treasure. I was originally planning to block it, but the Magical Treasure took a bizarre turn and hit Chu Qing directly."
Chu Qing only has Tier One Cultivation. No one here would need him to take a hit for them. Even Chu Qing wouldn’t do that.
To everyone else, Chu Qing is just a kid. He’s basically the one being protected; no one would need him to take a hit.
They would never do something like that, either.
Liu Yiyi put down her phone and said, "Let’s not dwell on this. I’ve already contacted Chu Qing’s Parents. They should be on their way."
The moment Liu Yiyi finished speaking, two figures descended from the sky. It was none other than Chu Qing’s parents.
As soon as they landed, Chu Qing went up to greet them. "Mom, Dad, you’re here."
Chu Qing’s Mother asked urgently, "Where’s your brother?"
Chu Qing replied, "He’s in the house with Uncle Po Xiao."
Chu Qing’s father strode forward. "Take us to see him."
Chu Qing nodded, then knocked on the door and went inside.

In the great mountains of East Water Island, Shui Luo asked, "Still no sign of anyone Crossing the Tribulation?"
Hiller shook her head. "No. And even if we found someone, they aren’t advancing from Tier Two to Three."
Shui Luo frowned. If they couldn’t find anyone in the next few days, this plan would be a failure. An opportunity had finally presented itself, yet they couldn’t find the right person.
It was incredibly frustrating for her.
’Nothing has been going right lately. Can’t the universe just send a pleasant surprise my way?’
’What’s so wrong with letting me win the lottery for once?’
With that thought, Shui Luo let out another long sigh.
Just then, her phone suddenly rang.
She glanced at it and saw it was Yue Xi from the Holy Land. They were on pretty good terms.
Otherwise, the Holy Land wouldn’t have sent someone over, even if it was just a formality.
But the Holy Land had numerous disciples, so it was highly likely one of them was about to undergo their tribulation. If so, she could just spend some money to have them come over.
At worst, she would pay to set up a Tribulation Crossing Array for them.
So, as soon as she answered the call, Shui Luo got straight to the point. "Fairy, does the Holy Land have any disciples about to advance from Tier Two to Tier Three? I’ll pay a high price to have them come here for their Crossing the Tribulation."
"Huh?" On the other end of the line, Yue Xi was completely baffled.
’What’s going on? I was just about to ask this friend of mine to help my disciple with her Crossing the Tribulation, and now she’s offering a high price to have someone come over to do it?’
’Even though I don’t understand what she means, since she’s made the offer, how could I possibly refuse?’
So, Yue Xi said, feigning difficulty, "Well, I do have a disciple... I was actually calling you specifically about this today."
"My disciple, Jiu Xi—the one who went to your place for a visit—is about to advance from Tier Two to Three. I was going to tell you I wanted her to come back."
"After all, Crossing the Tribulation is no small matter. If things go wrong, one’s body and soul could be annihilated."
"Have her stay," Shui Luo said. "Leave her here with confidence. I’ll look into it and make sure everything is arranged perfectly. Even if her Crossing the Tribulation fails, I’ll personally intervene to save your disciple."
Yue Xi asked, "Then, the price..."
"I’ll have it sent to you. I’ll go as soon as things on East Water Island are settled," Shui Luo said.
"Then I’ll have to trouble you, Fairy. I have other things to attend to, so I won’t disturb you any further."
"Oh, right. I’ll talk to my disciple myself. She’ll understand. Don’t worry."
With that, Yue Xi hung up the phone.
’To think something so wonderful could happen in this world! My luck is amazing right now.’
’I was originally planning to make a killing off Jiang Zuo beating up Elements, but making a profit off his wife is fine too.’
’Yes, I should give the young couple a call.’
’Let them know just how much their auntie has sacrificed for this matter of the tribulation.’
’So they’ll be eternally grateful.’
’And they’ll know to show proper respect to their elder in the future.’
’What a great plan.’

Meanwhile, Jiang Zuo was still working on his array materials. If he pulled an all-nighter, he could go set it up tomorrow.
After a final check the day after tomorrow, Su Qi could begin her Crossing the Tribulation.
’Perfect. I just wonder if Auntie has spoken to Shui Luo yet.’
He decided he would ask her in a bit.
"Uncle Po Xiao, my parents are here to see Chu Qing." It was Chu Qing’s voice.
Soon, Chu Qing came in, leading her parents.
Jiang Zuo never looked up. They were here to see Chu Qing, not him. There was no need to acknowledge them.
As soon as he entered, Chu Qing’s father noticed Jiang Zuo, who hadn’t even raised his head. He didn’t say anything, simply walking over to Chu Qing’s side to examine him.
After just a moment, his expression turned grim.
Chu Qing’s Mother asked nervously, "How is Chu Qing?"
"His foundation is injured. We need to seek treatment at the Celestial Spirit Nine Peaks. I’m taking him now; we can’t delay any longer." As he spoke, Chu Qing’s father moved to pick up Chu Qing.
But before Chu Qing’s father could pick him up, a flash of fire shot toward him.
The Fire Elemental Minions were fearless. Their big brother hadn’t abandoned them, and they were overjoyed.
This fire was nothing. Chu Qing’s father casually waved his hand, and the flames vanished. Then, with a dark expression, he stared at Jiang Zuo. "Young friend, what is the meaning of this?"
Chu Qing was his son, yet someone was actually stopping him from saving his own son. If not for the fact that Chu Qing showed him a degree of respect, he would have attacked already.
Without looking up, Jiang Zuo said, "The Celestial Spirit Nine Peaks can’t cure him."
Hearing Jiang Zuo’s words, Chu Qing’s Parents were disdainful. They weren’t fools. Why would they possibly believe what this person was saying?
But Chu Qing believed him. She asked anxiously, "Then what can we do to save my brother, Chu Qing?"
Jiang Zuo still didn’t look up. "It’s not a big problem. Just let him rest. Once I’m free, he’ll be fine."
Chu Qing asked, "Can’t you treat my brother, Chu Qing, first, Uncle Po Xiao?"
Jiang Zuo said, "I’m busy."
Standing to the side, Chu Qing’s father was about to lose his patience. This person’s words were full of contradictions.
One moment he was saying the Celestial Spirit Nine Peaks couldn’t cure him, and the next he was saying it wasn’t a big problem.
Did the Celestial Spirit Nine Peaks have no reputation to uphold or something?
Chu Qing was mentally unstable to begin with, but they weren’t sick. There was no way they would believe the words of someone as arrogant as Jiang Zuo.
Just that one sentence—"The Celestial Spirit Nine Peaks can’t cure him"—was the height of arrogance.
If the Celestial Spirit Nine Peaks couldn’t cure him, it was doubtful anyone in the entire Cultivation Realm could.
It was questionable whether this Junior Cultivator even understood what kind of existence the Celestial Spirit Nine Peaks was.
