After dinner, Chu Huaixu returned to his room and sat down on the ditation mat.
He first directed his Divine Sense into the Black Bead to check the situation with the dicine Cauldron [Dao Generating One].
"How the hell is it still refining?" a certain capitalist fud.
Inside the dicine Cauldron, several wisps of black gas were still in the process of Refinent.
This process had already been ongoing for several days.
This ant he couldn’t use the dicine Cauldron to refine Elixirs, losing a large sum of inco every day.
"No wonder the Sect Leader referred to it as the most evil air between heaven and earth; even the dicine Cauldron can’t quickly refine this Evil Qi?" he thought.
However, Chu Huaixu soon changed his mind, thinking the problem might lie with himself.
"[Dao Generating One] now requires to inject Spiritual Power into it every once in a while."
"It’s probably because my current Realm is too low, and I have too little Spiritual Power to fully leverage the power of my Lifebound Magical Treasure."
He rarely found fault with himself...
But Chu Huaixu could tell that those wisps of Evil Qi were indeed dwindling.
"Just don’t know how much longer it will take to refine, and... what it will refine into."
Judging by this posture, it would likely take at least another ten days to half a month.
Chu Huaixu felt his heart bleeding; in such a long ti, how many Spirit Pills could be refined!
"Fortunately, the dicine pots at ho are being maintained by that old Deng," he smiled slightly.
But it’s not good to be away from ho all the ti.
"And next ti Xiaoxu returns ho, I should tell him not to sit next to during als; henceforth, Big Ice Cube should sit next to , and he should sit opposite!" Chu Huaixu thought delightedly.
Just then, he heard Han Shuangjiang’s knock on the door.
Upon opening it, she said to him, "Qin Xuexiao and that girl are here."
Big Ice Cube’s eyes held a hint of inquiry, after all, Chu Huaixu had just told her that this Young Master held sothing over him.
"It’s fine," he whispered.
The duo walked out together and soon saw the Heir of Prince Rui standing in the courtyard.
But today he had swapped out his Black Robe for a deep purple one, seemingly to avoid matching outfits with Chu Huaixu.
The two leaders clashing in matching outfits was a juicy enough topic to talk about for quite so ti.
In a few days, this incident would likely spread all over the Profound Yellow Realm.
Qin Xuexiao even planned to have his own Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact Magic Robe remade once he returned to Moon Country, to change its design...
"Brother Chu!" the Heir of Prince Rui greeted warmly.
"Young Master," Chu Huaixu cupped his hands in return.
"I wonder what’s the purpose of your visit today, Young Master?" he asked.
I advise you to be sensible and not bring up Huo Dingyi with again.
Upon hearing this, Qin Xuexiao first glanced at Han Shuangjiang with a look suggesting he wanted to screen her out.
"She’s not a problem; we can talk about anything directly," Chu Huaixu said bluntly.
But Han Shuangjiang, understanding, intended to leave of her own accord.
Unexpectedly, the Dead Fox gently grabbed her wrist, without explicitly holding her hand, and shook his head, saying, "It’s fine."
Qin Xuexiao, seeing this, could only resign himself.
The Heir of Prince Rui then spoke, "Brother Chu, you might be planning to head down the mountain soti soon?"
This was actually an implicit reference to the [Origin Spirit Realm].
"Yes." Chu Huaixu nodded.
"Perhaps, Zixuan can help you," Qin Xuexiao said.
"What do you an?" Although Chu Huaixu asked, he already had so guesses in his heart.
The Heir of Prince Rui laughed heartily, "Brother Chu, didn’t you already break our Secret Technique in the arena before? No need to play dumb now, hahahaha."
"You an you’re willing to let her share her Divine Sense and Spiritual Power with ?" he asked.
"Yes, precisely."
This even made Chu Huaixu look up to him a bit.
"But to be fair, Qin Xuexiao is, after all, one of the four [World Protagonists]."
"His position would definitely align with righteousness, and this won’t change."
"It’s just that being born into power and with an air of a heroic figure, his style of doing things differs significantly from Xiaoxu and Big Ice Cube."
"He’s capable of sacrificing a few to save the many!"
"Because for many people in high positions, they are already accustod to making these kinds of choices, as they often have to, for there’s rarely a perfect solution in the world."
Looking at him, Chu Huaixu asked, "Are you sure it will work when the ti cos?"
Can you really bring Lin Zixuan’s Spiritual Power and Power of Divine Sense into the [Origin Spirit Realm]?
"Not sure, but there’s no harm in trying, is there?" Qin Xuexiao said.
"Alright, I understand." Chu Huaixu nodded.
The Heir of Prince Rui looked at him and smiled, "Actually, before eting Brother Chu, I always thought this heavy burden would fall on my shoulders."
In his heart, Chu Huaixu laughed, "What are you thinking, without eting , Xiaoxu would have taken you down."
But he has a pleasant attitude today, so Chu Huaixu didn’t mind disclosing a bit of information to him.
Besides, he surmised that the Sect Leader would inform Moon Country about this anyway, as it was not solely a matter for the Daoist Sect.
Therefore, he looked at Qin Xuexiao and said:
"Young Master, I can tell you this: the current outco is actually quite good."
"The waters run deep there, you can’t control it."
If you go in there, you’ll just be throwing yourself away.
...
...
Outside the room, Qin Xuexiao and Lin Zixuan did not stay long.
After chatting a few more words with Chu Huaixu, they took their leave and departed.
It’s still early, there’s no need to plant the [Spiritual Seed] today.
Even if it must be planted, Qin Xuexiao doesn’t want to do it in front of everyone...
On the way back, the Heir of Prince Rui was still pondering over what the other person said.
"The waters are deep, and I’m unable to grasp them?"
"What does this an?"
With his understanding of the [Origin Spiritual Realm], even without Zixuan’s assistance, he is confident that he can obtain the [Profound Yellow Origin] and open the Nine Realms Dao!
Could there be so other mystery?
"From his tone, if I enter, would certain death await ?" His expression was indecisive.
He didn’t fantasize or delude himself into thinking that Huo Dingyi was willing to take the risk for him and enter the spirit realm.
Because whether it was the way he severely injured him in the arena or his deanor at the wine table, neither seed that way.
Including the tone he just used, there wasn’t any hint of respect.
Moreover, the mindset of a true superior is often—no matter what you want to do, you don’t have the right to make decisions on your own; you have to report to first, get my permission, otherwise, it’s overstepping!
But Chu Huaixu?
He is a strong person overlooking the weak.
This trip to the Daoist Sect had too many unexpected events for him.
"How did the [organization] manage to cultivate such a person?"
"How could the [organization] cultivate such a person?"
These two thoughts represented his complex emotions.
On the other side, within the Inner Sect, inside Junzi Temple.
Jiang Zhi was still lying on a vine chair under the tree, Sect Leader Xiang Yan was sitting on the stone stool beside him.
"Junior Martial Uncle, do you an for Chu Huaixu to go down the mountain soon to do a sect mission and exorcise demons with a team?"
"Yes."
Jiang Zhi closed his eyes, and the vine chair swayed gently, saying: "He should understand what he will face after entering the Origin Spiritual Realm."
"Although different from the Evil Cultivator, there are so similarities."
"It’s better to tell him after he returns from exorcising demons down the mountain."
Xiang Yan, upon hearing this, also found no problem and said: "It’s good this way."
He actually thought more deeply than Junior Martial Uncle.
Junior Martial Uncle’s view on issues has always been relatively shallow.
In Sect Leader’s perspective, letting Chu Huaixu go down the mountain to exorcise demons has one more very important point.
"Killing!"
In so many competitions of the East and West Continent, he has indeed sparred with many low-tier cultivators and gained a lot of practical experience.
But the competition in the arena and a life-and-death battle are not the sa, right?
"He probably hasn’t killed anyone yet, has he?" Xiang Yan pondered.
Entering the Origin Spiritual Realm in such a state is asking for trouble.
Because going there is also about "killing"!
He felt it necessary to let Chu Huaixu go down the mountain to exorcise and slay demons and get accustod to this as soon as possible.
A person who has killed and one who hasn’t are very different.
Xiang Yan still rembers his state after killing an Evil Cultivator for the first ti and so physiological reactions, his hands were trembling.
Beyond that, there was hesitation and panic before killing!
"Junior Martial Uncle has been exorcising demons down the mountain for too long, he’s killed too many, probably can’t consider this aspect anymore." The sect leader thought.
He looked at Jiang Zhi and said: "Then let him pick a task himself in the Disciple Courtyard?"
"Mm, just to continue honing." Jiang Zhi said lightly.
"Good."
...
...
Inside the bamboo house, Chu Huaixu didn’t know that the higher-ups of the Daoist Sect were about to assign him a task again.
At this mont, he was sitting on a ditation cushion, looking at his Character Panel.
"550,000 experience points, how should I plan this in the near future?"
He intended to increase his strength as much as possible for a bit more safety.
But he didn’t feel the need to be overly frugal, reluctant to use the experience points, saving them for the Second Realm.
"Better not end up dead in there."
"I don’t even know if these three [Resurrection Coins] on my Character Panel will work."
"After all, I have transmigrated; what if this function is locked?"
"Then that’s a real dead-end!"
After closing the Character Panel, he turned his attention to the task system.
The Main Quest [East and West Continent Competition] was completed after he won the position of Profound Yellow Leader.
The new Main Quest [Origin Spiritual Realm] was naturally unlocked.
There’s even a [Positioning] in the task, marking the entrance location of the [Origin Spiritual Realm].
"It’s far from the Daoist Sect, near the border of East and West Continent."
"But it’s not far from Spring and Autumn Mountain, more precisely, it’s within the sphere of influence of Spring and Autumn Mountain."
His previous character was an Inner Sect Disciple of Spring and Autumn Mountain, quite familiar with that area, it was his activity zone.
"If I have to travel there myself, just getting there might take a lot of ti."
"But the task rewards are indeed generous."
Just the experience points alone are a whole 500,000 points!
