Yanfu: Starting with the Six-Eared Macaque

As the referee's announcement faded, Chen Xing finally heard the notification sound indicating that the mission was complete.

Although the pill in his mouth healed Chen Xing's external injuries, the mental strain of the battle had left him exhausted. Before he could see clearly, everything went black, and he fell into a deep sleep.

"Junior Brother!"

When Du Ren and the others below the stage saw Chen Xing suddenly fall forward, they thought something had happened and hurriedly stepped forward, frantically pulling out pills from their pockets.

A flash of rainbow light.

Master Qingwei had already appeared beside Chen Xing and reached out to support him.

"It's okay, I'm just exhausted, I'll be fine after a nap."

After taking Chen Xing's pulse, Master Qingwei took out a lustrous pill and put it into his mouth. Only then was he relieved and looked at the crowd from Yuheng Peak who had gathered around him.

On the other side, Elder Heyang picked up the unconscious Chu Feng with a pained expression, took out a jade bottle from his bosom, poured out a pill that was glowing with a soft white light, pried open Chu Feng's mouth, and carefully fed it to him.

-----------------

Chen Xing slowly opened his eyes

He slowly sat up on the edge of the bed, feeling refreshed and clear-headed, as if his whole being had been cleansed.

"Junior brother, you're awake?"

Hearing the commotion from Chen Xing's side, Edison, who was sitting at the table writing something, put down his pen, picked up a glass of water, and came over.

"Thank you, Sixth Senior Brother."

Chen Xing took the cup, drank it all in one gulp, wiped his mouth with his hand, and put the cup aside.

"How long did I sleep?"

"It took Master a whole day and night to get the news and he rushed back. He came to see you last night and said you were fine. In fact, you've turned misfortune into blessing and your cultivation might even advance further," Edison said unhurriedly.

After hearing what his sixth senior brother said, Chen Xing remembered the hint he had heard from Ninja before he fainted:

"You have completed the special Yama event: [The Chosen One]."

Event details: Participated in the Shushan Sect Grand Competition and ultimately ranked first.

The Yanfu incident has been completed and is rated as auspicious.

[Your purchasing privileges have been enhanced upon completion of this Yanfu event.]

"Your ancient martial arts expertise has increased from 69% to 70%."

"Unfortunately, this breakthrough in specialization has failed to awaken your personal talent. Please continue your efforts."

"Your formation mastery has increased from 69% to 70%."

"Congratulations, Master Walker! This breakthrough has awakened your powerful personal talent: [Transform Me into King]."

[Transform me into king]: The changes of the heavens have transformed me into king.

You can become the core of the formation, resonating with the nodes of the formation to construct any formation. From then on, the materials used in the formation will no longer be a limitation for you.

Different formations have different levels of power and put different burdens on your body. Formations that exceed your body's capacity will consume varying amounts of Awakening Points, Yama Points, or even your lifespan.

After reading the information provided by Ninja Land, Chen Xing sat down to meditate and observe his inner self.

Under the dual tempering of lightning and spiritual energy, the strength of his physical body has been significantly improved. Not only has the innate spiritual power in his body been fully restored, but it is also full and surging, flowing between the meridians of his limbs, and strange patterns are faintly flowing and flickering deep in his muscles and bones.

"Master instructed that once you wake up, you should go to Wuji Pavilion to find him."

Now that Chen Xing was awake, Edison no longer needed to keep watch. He walked back to the table, tidied up his paper and pens, and casually said...

"Oh, okay, I'll go right away."

Upon hearing Edison's words, Chen Xing snapped out of his daze, quickly got up, and hurried towards Wuji Pavilion.

-----------------

In front of Wuji Pavilion, Chen Xing straightened his robes and lightly patted the door twice.

"Come in."

The voice of Master Yunqing came from inside.

"Master."

Chen Xing pushed open the door and entered, seeing Master Yunqing sitting upright on a futon. He respectfully bowed.

Master Yunqing looked at the energetic Chen Xing before him and sighed, "How is your body? Is your soul damaged?"

"Master, when I examined my inner consciousness today, I found that I was not injured, but my physical body has become much stronger."

Chen Xing answered truthfully.

"It's alright. I checked yesterday. Your physical body has been tempered by lightning and nourished by the sect leader's Qi-gathering pill, so it's expected that you've made some progress. Just pay attention to practicing your Qi and cultivating your mind in the future, and it won't be a problem."

Seeing that Chen Xing's soul was indeed unharmed, Yun Qing was completely relieved and then changed the subject.

"I heard from Senior Brother Heyang that Chu Feng forcibly activated the divine lightning, which caused considerable damage to his meridians. He will need to rest for some time. According to the sect leader's wishes, the awards will no longer be publicly presented, but the rewards you are entitled to will not be reduced. You can all go to the treasure pavilion to collect them."

"Once you arrive at the treasure pavilion, with your identity jade token in hand, someone will guide you inside to make your selection. You can choose any item from there. As for the reward pills..."

"I told my senior brother, the sect leader, yesterday that he should refine them himself. They're all here." Yun Qing took out a warm jade bottle and handed it to Chen Xing.

Chen Xing took it with both hands, didn't open it to look at it, and put it directly into his pocket.

"There's another matter I'd like to ask for your opinion on."

Yun Qing's expression turned slightly solemn, clearly indicating that the matter was of great importance.

"Master, please speak."

"After a year of pursuit, the remnants of the Blood Spirit Cult have been basically wiped out, but the whereabouts of the Blood Spirit Mother remain unknown," Yun Qing said slowly.

"I originally planned to wait until your cultivation was stable and you were able to protect yourself before we went down the mountain together to find the Blood Spirit Sect."

Yun Qing paused for a moment, then continued, "But news came yesterday that a disciple had discovered Mo Chenzi's whereabouts, but the Blood Spirit Saint Mother was not on him."

"That group of disciples wanted to capture Mo Chenzi and interrogate him about the whereabouts of the Blood Spirit Mother, but he escaped using a secret technique."

"It now seems that the Blood Spirit Cult's ambitions are far from insignificant. Therefore, we have no choice but to send you down the mountain ahead of time and, relying on the connection between the spirit-slaying incantations, find the true location of the Blood Spirit Mother as soon as possible."

"This disciple has no problem."

Chen Xing listened without hesitation and nodded in agreement. The Blood Spirit Sect was related to his Yanfu incident, and he had no reason to refuse.

"Alright, as the sect leader says, if you agree to go down the mountain, I'll give you this."

Yun Qing looked pleased and then took out a grayish-brown bead from her sleeve and held it in her palm.

Earth Spirit Orb

Quality: Legend

Category: Strange Objects of Jambudvipa

Effect: Allows you to bind a location within the fruit. After use, the holder will immediately return to the bound location of the fruit, regardless of seals, barriers, or distance.

This can only be used once per Yama event.

Current fruit binding location: Mount Shu

Yun Qing solemnly said, "This is the Earth Spirit Pearl, a priceless treasure passed down through generations of Shu Mountain."

"Legend has it that this bead was left behind by the goddess Nuwa and possesses unfathomable power. If you encounter any danger on your journey down the mountain, do not hesitate to activate it immediately, and it will safely send you back to Mount Shu."

"The Blood Spirit Mother is a powerful figure in the Demon Realm, with unfathomable cultivation in her true form. She acts erratically and uses unpredictable methods. After descending the mountain, you must be cautious in all matters and avoid impulsiveness. Remember this well."

Yun Qing gave Chen Xing instructions one by one, afraid of missing anything.

Seeing that Chen Xing agreed to everything, he sighed softly and said, "We will have to go down the mountain eventually. This time, He Yang, Zi Ying, and I will lead the team together. Go back and prepare, and then come find me."

After saying that, he waved his hand, signaling Chen Xing to leave.
