The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 465

Chu Xuan was slightly surprised. Ning Tai was willing to help him proactively. Could there be some ulterior motive behind this?

At the thought, Chu Xuan couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. Not everyone was scheming to such a degree. It was normal for Ning Tai to want to return the favor, especially after Chu Xuan had helped rescue his grandson, Ning Wangyuan. There was no hidden agenda here.

Chu Xuan cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, Fellow Daoist Ning."

Ning Tai waved his hand dismissively, "It's no trouble at all. Fellow Daoist helped me save Wangyuan, so this is what I should do. If anything happens to me in the future, I hope Fellow Daoist can take care of my grandson."

Chu Xuan nodded slightly, "I will help him within my abilities."

Both sides parted ways amicably. After a hearty meal, Ning Tai and his grandson, Ning Wangyuan, stood up and bid their farewells with a clasped fist.

Once they were out of earshot, Ning Wangyuan whispered, "Grandfather, what level of cultivation is this He Liang?"

Ning Tai nodded thoughtfully, "Probably mid-stage Nascent Soul."

Ning Wangyuan frowned. "Ah? That doesn't seem very strong. I noticed you seemed interested in befriending him."

Ning Tai smiled, "Wangyuan, you need to understand, not everyone reveals their true strength on the surface."

Ning Wangyuan was taken aback. "So, you can tell he's hiding something?"

Ning Tai shook his head with a smile, "Not exactly. I'm no Deity Transformation expert, how could I see through the true strength of someone at the same cultivation level?"

Ning Wangyuan was puzzled. "Then why are you willing to pass on Elder Zhu's shop to him at a low price?"

Ning Tai chuckled, "I just feel that this person is extraordinary, though I can't pinpoint why. I've met many people in my life, and those like He Liang, I've seen before. Without exception, they live a long time. For cultivators like us, living long means we have the chance to ascend to higher paths."

Ning Wangyuan fell silent, pondering his grandfather's words.

Ning Tai laughed heartily, "Come on, your talisman path still needs more practice. I'm shameless enough to convince Old Ghost Song to teach you for ten years. Go study under him well."

"Yes," Ning Wangyuan said gratefully, nodding in agreement.

...

Meanwhile, Chu Xuan had roughly figured out Ning Tai's intentions.

It was clear that Ning Tai was hoping that, after he passed away, Chu Xuan would look after his grandson.

"Poor parents everywhere…" Chu Xuan sighed softly.

Though Ning Tai was not Ning Wangyuan's father, his concern was even deeper than that of many parents.

Chu Xuan then took out a storage bag and tossed it over.

He Zhao quickly caught it, and as his spiritual sense entered the bag, a look of delight appeared on his face.

"Senior, do you want me to…?"

Chu Xuan smiled lightly. "Inside, there's a jade slip with spiritual sense; it contains the list of the required spiritual herbs. Help me purchase the herbs and pick a few loyal and capable cultivators. In the future, when I start managing the shop, one or two people won't be enough."

He Zhao excitedly nodded. "Yes! I will not disappoint Senior's trust!"

He bowed deeply to Chu Xuan and quickly left, clearly heading off to use his connections.

Such matters were best left to He Zhao, allowing Chu Xuan not to waste time on trivialities. After all, every profession had its own specialized path. He Zhao might even do a better job than he could.

He had also placed a Hidden Bee on He Zhao as a precaution, just in case.

He wasn't worried about He Zhao betraying him now, but human hearts were always a mystery. Just because someone didn't betray you today didn't mean they wouldn't do so in the future. If He Zhao were ever coerced or bribed into revealing things, Chu Xuan needed a way to sever ties immediately.
