Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 400 Urgency
In a quiet room.

Zhu Ju sat cross-legged on a futon.

His external avatar, 'Sun Wukong', sat cross-legged opposite him.

not far away.

Pei Jingque moved his ten fingers, and streaks of light intertwined in the air as he cast a cleansing spell that enveloped the entire area.

"There is indeed something unusual."

Her expression was grave, and she spoke in a low voice:
"It must be cleansed with a spirit-cleansing spell within a month, otherwise it will give rise to foreign and impure thoughts."

"This thought is the same as Dao Nie's, filled with an aura of destruction, and it will grow stronger rapidly once it takes root."

"The Great Way is poisonous!" Zhu Juyin exclaimed with a sigh.
"I never imagined that even source crystals, which are similar to inner cores, would be like this. Luckily, I didn't refine and consume them back then."

“You are very cautious.” Pei Jingque nodded, then added with a worried tone:
"However, 'Wukong' has already been tainted by the Dao Poison. Will there be any problems with it assisting your cultivation?"

"It's okay." Zhu Ju shook his head.
"The so-called Dao poison is associated with the Dao, and the magical power of those at the Golden Core stage is not affected."

"Poison of the Dao..."

"It primarily affects the primordial spirit."

This is one aspect.

On the other hand, the current external avatar is comparable to a late-stage Golden Core cultivator. One year of its cultivation is equivalent to five years of Zhu Ju's own cultivation. Combined with Zhu Ju's own cultivation, one year of its cultivation is equivalent to six years of others' cultivation.

How could we possibly give up such amazing auxiliary effects?

Even if it's just a cleansing spell once a month, it's worth it.

On the contrary, if the Ten Directions Sword continues to be fed with blue source crystals, it is very likely to advance to a top-tier magic weapon.

At that time...

Could I also be contaminated by the poison of Taoism?

The Ten Directions Sword is an inanimate object without sentience, so theoretically it's unlikely, but there's no need to take that risk.

Zhu Ju's eyes flickered, and he took out a blue source crystal and threw it onto the 'Wind and Thunder Blade Wings'.

Since we don't have a flying sword, we might as well upgrade this magic weapon.

Simultaneously.

He did not stop feeding the Creation Vine and the Investiture of the Gods, but these two things were very special. They would eat as much as he fed them, but they had almost no reaction, or if they did, it was extremely weak.

For now.

Feeding them is not worth the effort.

"Shocked magpie."

"Ok?"

Zhu Ju turned his head to the side, his eyes not meeting Zhu Ju's.

For a fleeting moment, Pei Jingque felt disoriented, a sign that he was losing control of his mind.

One hundred years, a cycle of sixty years...

Perhaps it won't be long before her soul can't withstand it anymore and she needs to increase her strength as soon as possible in order to find the innate source of energy.

"Master."

Pei Jingque snapped out of her daze and looked over with a charming smile:
"you call me?"

"Hmm." Zhu Ju smiled in response.
"It's alright. I'm just wondering how long it will take me to advance to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, with the help of my external avatar."

Unlike the lofty and unattainable nature of immortal magic, the development of science and technology often brings many conveniences to ordinary people.

The once-ruinsful city of Funeng has taken shape in just over two months.

One after another, brand-new high-rise buildings have sprung up.

Aircraft shuttle through the area, while trackless trains carry citizens to various places to build their homes.

No one cares about the death of ordinary people.

The death of the wealthy and powerful family is actually a good thing for Fucheng, a city with a large gap between the rich and poor and a rigid class system.

"Shh!"

A small aircraft landed in front of the tavern.

Due to road construction and renovation, coupled with the continuous rain in the past few days, the road surface is full of mud.

A man in a trench coat jumped off the aircraft, his leather shoes crunching in the mud, and looked at the tavern in front of him.

Knives and axes!
This is the name of the tavern, which is said to have originally belonged to an underground leader named 'Jackal'.

Its retro decor makes it stand out from the high-tech city, yet it attracts many visitors.

The man's facial muscles twitched, and he stepped forward to push open the tavern's outer door. Immediately, two burly figures blocked his way.

"Let him come over."

Zhu Ju waved his hand, picked up his wine glass, and took a sip:
"The young master of the Lin family, the future director of the Public Security Bureau of Licheng District, we should get to know him."

"Zhu Ju!" Lin Dong gritted his teeth and glared angrily at him.

"Did you steal our family's Source Crystal?"

"Rob?" Zhu Ju shook his head:
"You're about to become the Director of the Public Security Bureau, so you need to be sure of your words and actions based on evidence."

"otherwise……"

“I’m going to complain to parliament.”

Lin Dong clenched his fists and was shoved into a soft chair by two burly men. His eyes were bloodshot and his breathing was heavy.

"There's no need to be so angry." Zhu Ju pointed to the wine glass on the table:

"Although the Lin family is not as wealthy as it used to be, they are still much better off than ordinary people."

"For example, you..."

He smiled faintly and spoke:
"Your father used all his connections before he died to keep your position in the police department. You don't want to disappoint your father before you even take office, do you?"

"Hmph!" Lin Dong snorted coldly.
"The head of the Licheng District Public Security Bureau is nothing but Mr. Zhu's dog. Do you think I want that?"

"Don't be ungrateful." Zhu Ju narrowed his eyes, his smile fading.

“If your father hadn’t begged me, do you think you could have come? Now it seems you don’t understand your father’s good intentions, nor are you grateful for my kindness.”

With him, this underground emperor, in charge of Licheng District, the Public Security Bureau was essentially a dead body; there is no doubt about that.

However, the older generation of the Lin family is almost entirely wiped out, leaving them with no other choice but to come from the city.

Zhu Ju could easily choose who would sit in this position.

The reason for letting the other party come over was because of Lin's father's desperate pleas and the requests of other people, including the councilor.

"Peng!"

Lin Dong slammed his fist on the table and stood up:

"You surnamed Zhu, you run casinos and brothels, and you've done all sorts of evil deeds. I'll be keeping a close eye on you!"

"I'm not afraid of you!"

"Heh..." Zhu Juqing chuckled:
“A canary living in a cage will never understand the lives of those at the bottom. I have given them a way to survive and restrained the evil of some people. I have done far more than you, a rich young master.”

"never mind!"

"Judging from your expression, you wouldn't understand. Go back to your own world and don't bother me."

Zhu Ju stretched out his hand and pointed outwards:
"get out!"

Lin Dong gritted his teeth, glancing past Zhu Ju and looking at the other people in the tavern.

There were wealthy businessmen and government officials in the city, all staring at him with cold, indifferent eyes.

At this time.

"Jingle Bell……"

The doorbell rang.

Two young people, a man and a woman, barged in.

"elder brother!"

"Brother Lin."

Lin Yuxi and Wu Ping rushed into the tavern, but before they could make a move, they were suppressed by powerful auras and unable to move.

They were just first-year students at a prestigious university.

The martial artist's cultivation and strength are among the best in their age group, but it's far from enough here.

"Why are you here?"

Lin Dong's expression changed, and he struggled to break free of his restraints, rushing to the two of them:
"Confused!"

"Brother." Lin Yuxi's eyes reddened.

"We...we're worried about you."

The chaos caused by the Nine Mystic Spirit Deer has had a wide-ranging impact, including on the Lin family. Now, the once-great family is reduced to only a handful of people, and all the source crystals collected by the family have been looted.

According to the clues they found, all these source crystals fell into the hands of the underground emperor, 'Mr. Zhu'.

That's why Lin Dong came to our door.

Lin Yuxi and Wu Ping, having heard of 'Mr. Zhu's' power, were naturally worried and followed after him.

Compared to Lin Yuxi's concern, Wu Ping looked at Zhu Ju with some curiosity.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that this 'Mr. Zhu' was somewhat familiar.

seem……

Where have I seen this before?

"Those who care have weaknesses and fears," Zhu Ju said with a smile, raising his wine glass.
"These two young men are quite good, Director Lin. I hope our cooperation will be pleasant in the future."

"..." Lin Dong's heart sank, and he quickly left the tavern with Lin Yuxi and Wu Ping.

“Actually…” A fragrant breeze wafted by and landed beside Zhu Ju:

"I can too."

Cheng Rong pursed her lips:

"It would be more convenient for you if I took the position of Director of the Public Security Bureau of Licheng District."

Zhu Ju put down his wine cup and stood up:
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Cheng Rong gritted her teeth.

She's made it so obvious, even helping him manage things at the nightclub, so why is this man still so indifferent to her?

"Wait a moment!"

Taking a deep breath, she began:

“Councilor Cao Youche hopes to be re-elected, and he had some Yuanjing sent to him.”

"Understood." Zhu Ju nodded.
"The underground world of Licheng District supports his re-election."
