Grandpa, times have changed.

"Ah."

Bie Xuening responded with a faint "yes".

Ok?
Do you understand now?

Still don't understand?
Chi Jiuyu scratched his head, feeling somewhat uncertain.

"Your uncle does indeed have many things he still needs to do."

As she spoke, Bie Xuening placed the little yellow duck in her hand beside her.

"me too."

They actually answered!
I thought I'd get a "This is not something you should know" response.

"Huh? No way! But I feel like you're usually pretty relaxed, Master, either chatting online or..."

Chi Jiuyu subconsciously voiced his thoughts.

But she realized what she was saying halfway through and quickly shut her mouth.

Seeing Bie Xuening's eyes turn cold, Chi Jiuyu felt a chill run down her spine and quickly changed the subject:

"Was my martial uncle like this before?"

"..."

Looking at her obedient-looking traitor in front of her, Bie Xuening picked up the little yellow duck next to her and held it in her arms.

The gift was quite to her liking, and she couldn't be bothered to argue with this rebellious disciple.

"Don't pry into things that are none of your business, your martial uncle's past."

Ok? !

"Master, how can you say it's unrelated? We're his nephew, aren't we?"

That's my most respected martial uncle!

"roll."

“Master, that’s a bit unreasonable of you…”

"I haven't held a grudge against you for what happened last week."

"..." Chi Jiuyu paused for a moment, "Okay, okay, I'll go right now, I'll go right now..."

Why bring up old grievances?

Immediately, fearing that Bie Xuening would take the opportunity to punish him, Chi Jiuyu quickly slipped out of the dojo.

After turning a few corners.

As she passed a passageway, she ran inside and peered into the bedroom for a while.

But there was a long sword, three feet and three inches long, with a blade that looked like it was formed from moonlight, hanging on a bed that had been broken in two.

It was Yue Ling.

In front of Yue Ling, on the monitor screen was her favorite game, "The Immortal Path of the Supreme Being".

The game screen is currently displaying the equipment section.

One by one, the pieces of celestial equipment that Yue Ling had painstakingly crafted through countless hours of grinding and spending money were being destroyed.

Tsk!
It's so cruel.

Chi Jiuyu couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

Last week, having made a fortune, she brought gifts to the Sword Sovereign's Hall to bribe Yue Ling, and during the trip, she also played a couple of rounds of the online multiplayer mode of "Supreme Immortal Path" with Yue Ling.

Using her unparalleled wisdom (by exploiting a bug), she successfully defeated Yue Ling, who was ranked number one in the online multiplayer.

After winning, she made a sarcastic remark, just like she always does when playing games.

Yue Ling was already unhappy after losing, and after being mocked by her, she lost her mind on the spot and cleaved her master's bed in two with a single sword strike.

If that were all, it would be fine.

Importantly, the two little yellow duck ornaments placed by the bedside were also affected and shattered.

Then...

That's how things have turned out.

If she hadn't run away quickly, she might have ended up hanging here too.

"Are you alright?" Chi Jiuyu asked with concern.

The longsword swayed incessantly, but no sound came out.

"Don't be sad, you still have seven alt accounts, right?"

"Go and beg your master again later. She's just stubborn on the outside but soft on the inside."

"You can act pitiful, buy two more of the same little charms and give them to her. If she gives you money, you can spend it to slowly level up your character."

After making a few sarcastic remarks, Chi Jiuyu considerately closed the door, then turned and quickly ran out of the Sword Venerable Hall.

……

……

After a while, Chi Jiuyu slowly arrived at the foot of the mountain.

At this moment, Xianwang also popped up a notification.

【Respected Ascension Envoy (Level 3, Second Class) Chi Jiuyu, your ascension mission will begin at 2:00:00】

If the cross-server procedure is not initiated within the time limit, it will be considered that you have voluntarily abandoned the mission, deducting 50 Ascension Points and entering the mission cooldown period.

Please be mindful of your personal schedule.

During this period, my understanding of the 'Sword of Stars' has hit a bottleneck, and coincidentally, the cooldown period for the Ascension quest has also expired, so I decided to take on a quest to travel to the Outer World.

Perhaps observing different cultivation systems can help improve the 'Sword of Stars'?

Two hours...

"It's still early."

Chi Jiuyu glanced at it and then ignored it.

He took out his phone and started texting Zhang Yunlu while slowly walking back.

The main purpose was to explain the sale of the 'Civilization Talisman'.

This thing is now an absolute necessity for body cultivators of the Dragon Elephant Sky-Supporting Sect, especially for those at or below the Nascent Soul stage.

Not having a 'Civilization Talisman' means you're at a disadvantage when fighting in the 'Stop War' arena.

This is absolutely intolerable for the body cultivators of the Dragon Elephant Sky-Supporting Sect!

In addition, since there are basically no competing products for the 'Civilization Talisman' on the market, although the discussion about the 'Civilization Talisman' on the Spirit Network has decreased, more people are actually buying it!

Some people have already sensed the business opportunity and started stockpiling goods.

It's quite bizarre, actually.

The original reason for allowing a certain number of talismans of the same level to be brought into the 'Stop the War' arena was primarily to reduce conflict.

After all, it's not worth wasting so many spirit coins on a single battle, is it?

Secondly...

It is also to support the gradually declining talisman master industry.

This isn't just a problem for the Dragon Elephant Sky-Supporting Sect; all seven major immortal sects have implemented support policies for these less popular professions. Many factors combined led to Chi Jiuyu unexpectedly making a small fortune.

Xiao Yunlu: "Okay, senior sister, don't worry."

Zhang Yunlu replied very quickly.

The future sect leader of the Sword Sect: "By the way, does your brother have enough talismans? If not, send him some more."

After so many years, Zhang Xiu has reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

The border crossing was very fast.

However, without accumulating foundation in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm, his future advancement to the Void Return realm and the Dao Integration realm will be much more difficult than for cultivators who choose to accumulate foundation.

Because he was Zhang Yunlu's brother and knew the need for civilization talismans among body cultivators, Chi Jiuyu packed a batch of civilization talismans and sent them over a month ago.

It was originally given away for free.

But Zhang Xiu felt bad and insisted on paying. Chi Jiuyu had to persuade him to only pay the cost price.

Xiao Yunlu: "It's enough."

The future sect leader of the Sword Sect: "Just let me know when you're done using it, it'll be at cost price!"

Xiao Yunlu: Okay

Xiao Yunlu: "Senior sister, you also need to be careful."

The future leader of the Sword Sect: "Don't worry, don't worry, you know how well we've accomplished our mission."

Few of the Ascension Messengers in the entire Sword Sect have a higher mission completion rate than her!
In addition, she had found out about the situation in the Immortal Realm, and she planned to go and take a look after she returned from this ascension mission.

……

……

Meanwhile on the other side.

Xi Li took a rare day off and planned to go to Lingyin Fang with Fu Mu.

"Actually, you can just focus on your own things. There's really no need for me to interfere."

In front of Xi Li's cave, Fu Mu, who had changed back into a golden-white robe, spoke earnestly.

"okay."

Xi Li looked her up and down.

"If I hadn't come along, you probably wouldn't even be able to afford the teleportation array fee now, would you?"

"Uh……"

Fu Mu felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this.

When she ascended to heaven, she took nothing with her except her usual magical artifacts and a few sets of robes.

Therefore, among all the ascendants, she was actually relatively poor.

Now he is penniless, with only thirteen spirit coins on him.

Of course, this is not to mistreat her.

When she ascended to the Tai Xuan Realm, she received the same treatment as other ascendants before her.

Not only did they receive a large sum of money, but they also obtained the World Seed that Xu Xing had specially left for future Ascendants.

It's just...

After the conflict with the Beast God Clan ended, she became rather carefree, and the money was already squandered while she was traveling through the starry sky.

If it weren't for Xi Li taking her in, she probably wouldn't have been able to find a place to stay for the past two to three months.

"I can get there slowly."

She's at the peak of the Returning to Emptiness realm!

Although she didn't have the money to pay for the teleportation array, and couldn't use the Void Transmission technique in the Central Continent, if she traveled at full speed, it wouldn't take her long to get from the Sword Sect to the Spirit Sound Pavilion with her cultivation level...

However, after meeting Xi Li's gaze, Fu Mu's momentum waned, and he eventually lowered his head.

"Okay, okay! I'll do whatever you say!"

Xi Li was finally satisfied.

"Let's go."

The sect leader of Lingyin Pavilion.

In other words, Senior Li Wanwan attached great importance to Fu Mu's joining Lingyinfang.

I've talked to her many times during this period.

According to senior Li Wanwan, Fu Mu's current "laid-back" state is actually a psychological problem, which is not difficult to solve.

Hopefully, after joining Lingyinfang, she will be able to recognize herself and successfully achieve enlightenment.

Xi Li sighed softly to herself.

……

……

The first person in the Sword Sect to return to the Void Realm.

Zhou Kongming's cave dwelling.

A woman with delicate, three-dimensional features, wheat-colored skin, wearing a white vest, with a bulging chest.

The woman, who looked agile and capable, was fiddling with a golden sphere the size of an adult's fist.

This person was none other than Qi Ling.

The Divine Refinement Pavilion is the top Void Returning cultivator of our time.

"All right."

She then stood up by moving her wrists, and the golden sphere on the table gradually emitted spiritual fluctuations and slowly floated up.

Observe its spiritual fluctuations.

This is clearly the powerful artificial intelligence of the Qixing civilization that Zhou Kongming brought back from World 1, the Unnamed World, during his first ascension mission—Heng.

Several years have passed, and her spiritual strength has increased from the Golden Core stage to the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

"Madam, must I maintain this state?"

It was still the same emotionless, processed, cold, mechanical voice.

Heng wanted to cry but had no tears.

She had thought that once her spiritual strength reached the Nascent Soul stage, she would be able to break free from this round body and solidify her spiritual form.

As a result, Mistress Qi Ling created a new body for her.

"I'm doing this for your own good," Qi Ling said. "This ball... the Creation Instrument was carefully crafted by me. It can play a very good auxiliary role before you reach the Nascent Soul stage."

"After I reach the Divine Transformation stage, will I be able to independently condense a spiritual body?" Heng asked hastily.

Although the ball was very helpful for her spiritual growth, she still wanted to live in the world in a more normal way.

"That's the theory."

After all, it's quite difficult for her, with her current level of weapon crafting, to compress a vessel that can assist in the spiritual growth of a Nascent Soul level artifact into a sphere.

But things might be different after achieving Dao. (End of Chapter)
