What? You opened a resort on the battlefield of all races?

Xu Tianlin stood to the side, watching the scene unfold before him, and scratched his cheek speechlessly.

The killing intent emanating from the Snow Shadow Wolf Spirit had diminished considerably.

Those scarlet eyes were still fixed on Chen Dong, and a low growl would occasionally escape from its throat. But compared to the way it had raised its claws to tear him apart just now, it was quite restrained.

And the reason for all of this...

Xu Tianlin's gaze slowly fell on Chen Dong's hand.

The tiny baby wolf tooth was right there.

"You little brat..."

Xu Tianlin's lips twitched slightly.

"So they really did prepare supplies for all three checkpoints?"

The first challenge: the cloak.

The second challenge: Moon Essence Marrow.

In the third test, another baby tooth was pulled out.

So, when others participate in the Chu family's marriage selection, it's like passing a test.

Chen Dong participated in the Chu family's marriage proposal with a strategy guide and key items in hand.

All that's missing is a line of text on the top of your forehead—

Experienced players are relaunching this, a speedrun route. No casual players please.

However, Chen Dong was clearly not in the mood to argue with him at the moment.

He crouched in front of the Snow Shadow Wolf Spirit, blood still seeping from the three wounds on his chest, but his attention was entirely focused on the wolf spirit.

Strands of Yuan energy surged from his palm.

It seeped into the Snow Shadow Wolf Spirit's body little by little, following the air.

Chen Dong used the most common method of exorcising evil spirits used by the human race.

After the external energy enters the body, it first envelops the evil energy, and then grinds it out little by little.

It sounds simple.

But it's so troublesome to do that it makes you want to curse.

When Yuan Power encounters Evil Qi, it will be rapidly depleted.

Often, if you throw in ten parts of Yuan energy and only manage to produce one part of malevolent energy, that's considered a pretty good skill.

If the evil energy has penetrated too deeply, the efficiency will be even lower.

It's similar to using a bucket of water to rinse the grease on the stove that's been there for over a decade and can't be scraped off even with a steel wool pad.

Chen Dong is now facing an even more exaggerated situation.

He was only at the late stage of the Flying Heaven Realm, while the Snow Shadow Wolf Spirit in front of him, even though it had been tormented half to death by the evil energy, still possessed a power level that was almost at the Fusion Dao Realm.

The difference between the two is obvious.

Not to mention how intense the malevolent energy was that truly tormented the Snow Shadow Wolf Spirit to this state.

After Chen Dong's small amount of Yuan energy poured in, it couldn't even create a decent ripple.

It felt like taking a cheap plastic water gun (worth two yuan) from the entrance of a residential complex and running to put out a fire in a warehouse.

The attitude is commendable.

As for the effect... it mainly serves to express an attitude.

Xu Tianlin looked for a long time but couldn't find that the evil energy in Xueying Wolf Spirit's body had decreased much.

On the contrary, Chen Dong's own face grew increasingly pale, sweat poured from his forehead, and his breathing became heavier and heavier.

The Yuan energy within his body was dropping at a frightening rate.

But Chen Dong didn't stop.

After seeing the baby teeth, the wolf spirit clearly no longer rejected him.

Chen Dong gritted his teeth and continued.

Yuan energy continuously entered the Snow Shadow Wolf Spirit's body, only to be constantly swallowed up by the surging evil energy.

With great difficulty, a tiny bit of grayish-black malevolent energy was carried away from the wolf spirit's body and drifted outside.

Compared to the massive, dark mass within the wolf spirit's body...

That's roughly equivalent to scooping out a spoonful of water from Dongting Lake.

"call……"

Chen Dong's breathing had become completely disordered.

The once abundant Qi Sea quickly dried up.

Finally, after the last wisp of Yuan energy was squeezed out of his palm, the light on his hand completely dimmed.

Chen Dong remained silent for a moment, then a flash of light appeared in his hand, and several pills appeared directly in his palm.

He didn't even count them, he just stuffed them all into his mouth.

The medicine spread rapidly after entering the mouth.

The Qi Sea that had just been drained finally managed to squeeze out some Yuan Power again.

Chen Dong didn't even have a chance to catch his breath.

Continue pulling.

"..."

Xu Tianlin stood behind and shook his head.

The pills were consumed one by one.

Once Chen Dong's internal energy had recovered somewhat, he immediately sent it into the wolf spirit's body.

Before long, the pills were all used up.

He stopped moving.

Inside the cave, the low howling of the Snow Shadow Wolf Spirit became clear again.

Black malevolent energy surged along its spine, occasionally revealing the originally snow-white fur beneath, only to be quickly swallowed up by the blackness again.

Chen Dong watched this scene, his lips pressed tightly together.

Suddenly, Chu Qian's image appeared in his mind.

The first time Chu Qian was trapped in the mountains, the next time she went to find him, and the last time she stood behind the crowd watching him before entering the Snow Shadow Wolf Den.

He knew all too well how important the Snow Shadow Wolf Spirit was to the Chu family.

The ancient bloodline of the Chu family is being passed down, and the descendants of the Chu family are awakening their bloodline.

Even those who participated in the marriage proposal, wanting to gain the recognition of the Snow Shadow Wolf bloodline, couldn't bypass this place.

What if the wolf spirit really dies?

Chen Dong dared not think any further.

What will become of the Chu family?

Can the ancient bloodline continue to be passed down?

What will happen to Xiaoqian?

Just now, he was able to tell Xu Tianlin that if the threshold is high, climb it; if the road is difficult, walk it.

But what if there are no thresholds at all?

Chen Dong lowered his head; his chest still ached, and his internal energy was almost completely depleted.

But after a few breaths, he raised his head again.

His eyes have changed.

A scorching aura, different from Yuan Power, began to rise from the depths of the body.

Xu Tianlin raised an eyebrow.

"You're courting death."

Chen Dong didn't stop moving; that aura was still rising upwards.

"You are only at the Flying Realm."

Xu Tianlin looked at him and said, "Don't even mention burning your essence blood; even if you burned yourself to ashes, you still couldn't save it."

"Is it really necessary to do this?"

Chen Dong did not answer. He simply continued to circulate his qi and blood, and power began to reappear in his previously depleted meridians.

That's the answer.

Xu Tianlin remained silent for two breaths.

"He's love-struck!"

He sighed, then raised his hand and waved.

The vital energy that Chen Dong's body was just about to ignite was extinguished in an instant, like a flame on a stove being suddenly covered by an iron pot.

The power that had just surged up vanished completely.

Chen Dong was taken aback.

He instinctively urged him again, but there was no response.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Chen Dong panicked.

"I want to help it!"

"The Chu family cannot lose Wolf Spirit!"

Xu Tianlin looked at him.

"So, can Chu Qian really lose you?"

Chen Dong opened his mouth, but his mouth, which had been full of words, suddenly seemed to have hit a wall and he was stuck.

He lowered his head and remained silent for a while.

"I'd do this for her..."

Snapped.

Xu Tianlin slapped himself on the forehead.

Hopeless.

However, Xu Tianlin didn't intend to tease him any further.

Having stood by and watched Chen Dong fuss for so long, he had gone through the whole thing about the Xiling Prefecture world anchor point again in his mind.

When he purchased the Twelve Mansions plot, he had already made up his mind about one thing.

The so-called aesthetics of the system have little to do with whether it is pretty or not.

Rather, they are traces unique to this civilization.

So what about the world anchor point?

It is clearly more important than a mere "trace".

Xu Tianlin's gaze returned to the Snow Shadow Wolf Spirit.

The Chu family possesses the Snow Shadow Wolf bloodline, a blood-fusion technique, and a martial arts, secret methods, and physical system specifically designed to complement the ancient bloodline.

And then there's the Snow Shadow Wolf Spirit before us, responsible for recognizing bloodlines and maintaining the lineage.

None of these items alone can represent the Chu family.

But when put together, they form a complete system.

It was passed down from the ancestors to the next generation.

When a new member of the Chu family is born, they receive the bloodline, cultivate the corresponding techniques, and then pass on this system.

It has its own rules, it can function, and it can continue.

Xu Tianlin's eyes narrowed slowly.

"so……"

"Aesthetic appeal may be judged by how many traces of civilization a place bears."

"From the perspective of the world anchor point, it's more like a stable, self-consistent, and sustainable civilization structure?"

This explanation, surprisingly, fits the Chu family quite well.

Why is the Chu family's world anchor about to disappear?

Because this structure is about to stop functioning.

Ancient bloodlines are becoming increasingly difficult to pass down, and fewer and fewer young people are capable of performing hemolysis.

Now even the most core Snow Shadow Wolf Spirit has been corrupted by the evil energy and turned into this grotesque state.

Delay it any further.

The Snow Shadow Wolf bloodline of the Chu family has truly been severed.

Martial arts, secret techniques, bloodlines, and inheritances—these interconnected elements—all fell apart along with them.

The world's anchor point cannot be preserved.

Xu Tianlin stroked his chin.

Is that how it is?

Try it and you'll see.

He looked at the Snow Shadow Wolf Spirit again, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

Then, he looked down at Chen Dong, who was still squatting there and clearly hadn't given up.

"Alright."

"From now on, I'll still have to go to a resort for a spa to get rid of the evil energy!"

"Your old folk remedies are really useless!"
