This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 1597 - 51: You’re So Whale_2

Whether in the Cultivation World or in the mundane world, Sword Artifacts have always been the most popular weapons.

Scattered customers in the shop were browsing for weapons that suited their tastes, while the shopkeeper lay slouched in a chair nearby, eyes half-closed.

A figure suddenly walked in from the doorway.

Shopkeeper Xue, hearing the footsteps, didn’t open his eyes and casually said, "Feel free to browse, but no matter how many weapons catch your fancy, you can only take one at most."

"Even after all this time, can only take one?" the person laughed.

The patrons in the shop, upon hearing this, turned slightly to look at the figure, thinking he would surely end up embarrassed.

Trying to build connections?

Everyone knew that Shopkeeper Xue was impervious to bribery and coercion alike.

However, just as they prepared to watch the man make a fool of himself, Shopkeeper Xue, usually calm as the wind and clouds, suddenly opened his eyes wide, looked at the figure, and immediately rose to his feet.

"Why... have you come?" Xue Zhuyong hesitated as he looked at the familiar handsome face.

"Some things required me to return, so I dropped by to take a look," Lu Qingshan said.

Given his connection with Mo Yan, since he had returned, there was no excuse not to visit Xue Zhuyong and Mo Zhizhi.

Maybe it was the Sword Cultivator’s free-spirited nature, or maybe his cultivation time was still short. In any case, Lu Qingshan, unlike most High Level Cultivators, hadn’t become indifferent to everything outside of cultivation; his emotions remained warm and rich.

"The shop is closing today; everyone, please come back tomorrow." Xue Zhuyong nodded slightly to Lu Qingshan before turning to the patrons and said.

Gosh, he really had connections... The patrons thought inwardly but swiftly exited Weapon List politely.

"Zhizhi, look who’s here..." After closing the weapon shop’s door, Xue Zhuyong led Lu Qingshan to the backyard.

.......

Above the Spiritual Abyss.

Lu Qingshan looked down at the bottomless, dark "crater," stepping inside more confidently than the last time.

After a sensation of vertigo and weightlessness, his eyes brightened, and the scenery around him drastically transformed.

Replacing the darkness was a bright world, an ancient world full of vitality, like paradise on earth, extending far beyond the boundaries of Jiaolong Island.

This was the small world with a universe within.

After speaking with Whale God Zhuo, Lu Qingshan understood that within this small world, the Longevity Whale was omnipresent.

Therefore, he made no movements, simply waiting quietly.

A breeze blew.

The lush Forest Sea stirred up massive green waves, like a Forest Sea, breathtakingly beautiful.

Lu Qingshan sensed something, his gaze falling on the Forest Sea.

Ripples began to spread across the Forest Sea.

Moments later, an animated image appeared over the Forest Sea.

A whale pattern formed from leaves.

"You’ve grown stronger, amazing, in such a short time, drum." A slightly childish voice echoed beside Lu Qingshan.

"Your original gift also greatly helped me," Lu Qingshan hesitated slightly before speaking.

Despite knowing that in terms of years, the Longevity Whale before him was his ancestor’s ancestor, its childlike voice still made him unable to call it Sir.

"Not a gift, it’s a thank you drum," the Longevity Whale earnestly explained.

"Not much difference," Lu Qingshan shrugged, recalling Whale God Zhuo’s catchphrase, hesitated for a moment, and couldn’t help but ask, "Is your name drum?"

"How did you know, drum?" Drum asked in surprise.

"...." Lu Qingshan was speechless—not surprising for a species.

Drum immediately realized on its own, remembering its reason for speaking, "You have a very peculiar aura, a kin aura drum."

"And much stronger than drum, many times over."

"Can you tell drum, where does it come from?" Drum asked sincerely, like a curious child.

"That’s exactly why I came to find you," Lu Qingshan smiled.

The Forest Sea timely stirred with ripples, and at the top right of the green whale pattern’s head, a large question mark formed with leaves.

"In the Heavenly River Sea, I encountered your kin; his name is Zhuo. Zhuo is much older than you, many times over...." Lu Qingshan spoke slowly and gently, recounting Zhuo’s predicament.

"As I said, Zhuo now wishes to leave the Heavenly River Sea, but can’t bear to disregard the lives of spirits on Qingcang Island... He needs your help, and Zhuo also hopes to see you face to face." Lu Qingshan spoke earnestly. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"How should drum help Zhuo?" Drum was puzzled.

"As long as the spirits on Qingcang Island leave the island, Zhuo can shake off Qingcang Island’s bind and leave the Heavenly River Sea," Lu Qingshan stated succinctly.

"Drum can help Zhuo take away Qingcang Island’s spirits, drum!" Drum’s voice was very excited, speaking ahead of Lu Qingshan.

"Are you willing to help?" Lu Qingshan hadn’t expected things to go so smoothly.

"Of course, I’m willing; Zhuo is drum’s kin. Why would drum not want to help him?" Drum asked curiously, not understanding why Lu Qingshan would ask such a question.

Lu Qingshan fell silent.

In Drum’s eyes, kinship alone was a sufficient reason to lend assistance.

Unbeknownst, not to mention kin, sibling rivalry and spousal discord are all too common in the human world.

This simple heart, perhaps only an isolated, gentle-natured Longevity Whale like Drum could possess?

"Qingcang Island is much larger than the island on your back, and likewise, the number of spirits is exponentially more. Can you manage?" Lu Qingshan confirmed.
