Dream Picking Records

"I am going to kill you!"

Sima Nanqiang's heart was bleeding, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood. He ignored his injuries and raised his hand to blast out dozens of palm prints, then quickly retreated to a safe distance.

"He's old, and he doesn't have much skill, he can only bark like a dog."

Wang Xiao spat, and a light flashed on his body, as if he had the power of thunder.

Sima Nanqiang had no time to retort, as he concentrated all his energy on mobilizing his spiritual energy and preparing for battle. Just as he was ready, Wang Xiao flashed by like a flash of lightning, disappearing before their eyes.

"Blood Pavilion Master?"

Sima Nanqiang was dumbfounded. The other party looked so aggressive, thinking he was planning some big move, but he actually ran away. He could only look anxiously at Xuerong.

Xue Rong waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. He has come into contact with the Taichu Heavenly Crystal, and a special aura will remain on his body. He won't be able to escape."

"Master of the Blood Pavilion, he and I have a grudge for killing our son. How can I not be anxious?"

"Are you his match?"

"I……"

Sima Nanqiang was speechless. Judging from the fight just now, he might not be able to defeat the opponent alone.

"Alright, I've already given you the chance. If you interfere again without authorization, don't blame me for not warning you."

Xue Rong's voice grew colder, and Sima Nanqiang had no choice but to compromise.

"Let me ask, does the Blood Pavilion Master want to take him in for his own use, or does he have other ideas?"

"It's not your place to ask what I think. If you're not satisfied, ask your father to come!"

Xue Rong turned away and left without showing him any mercy.

……

Elsewhere, Wang Xiao used the Thunder Stepping Technique to escape hundreds of miles before slowing down. He glanced at the Taichu Heavenly Crystal in his hand, ready to throw it away, then hesitated for a moment before retracting it.

"I can use it to find other Yu marks, but unfortunately I haven't found a way to activate it. Its unique aura is also a problem."

He thought about it over and over again. It cannot be blocked by ordinary things. He can't just keep it on his fingertips and use his finger bones to suppress it.

"Ho..."

"Lao Gu?"

A sudden yawn came from his mind, and he tried to call out softly.

"It's me. I sensed that you were worried, so I woke up early."

"Do you still have this ability?" Wang Xiao took out the bone box, expressing his doubt.

"Hmph, I set up trigger points just because I'm afraid you'll encounter problems you can't solve. After all, I'm wrapped in your spiritual body, so I can still detect your emotional fluctuations." Lao Gu responded, sounding very heartbroken.

"Hehe!" Wang Xiao laughed foolishly and said, "Do you recognize this thing? It has a special aura that I can't hide for long. My whereabouts will be exposed at any time."

"Wouldn't it be better to just throw it away?"

After hearing this, Lao Gu really wanted to roll his eyes, but he turned around and looked at Wang Xiao's finger, then jumped three feet high in excitement.

"Taichu Heavenly Crystal! No wonder you're reluctant to throw it away!"

"Is there any way?"

Wang Xiao held him down and asked, and Lao Gu replied confidently.

"Of course, leave it to me!"

As Lao Gu finished speaking, a crack appeared in the airtight box and slowly opened to the sides, though only a tiny part. The interior was like an endless black hole emitting a suction force, and the Primordial Heavenly Crystal was drawn in and swallowed up, vanishing along with the aura attached to him.

"Done!"

Lao Gu proudly took credit for the success, completely losing the dignified look he had in the past.

Wang Xiao felt it carefully and found that the aura of Taichu Tianjing was indeed gone.

"Is this the power of the bone box?"

"Of course, before, your realm was not high enough, so you could only use your spirit to enter and temper it. Now you can barely control it. It's OK to absorb treasures, weapons, etc. You can slowly study other functions. I won't say more for now, I need to digest it carefully!"

Lao Gu's tone sounded urgent. Wang Xiao realized it belatedly and said, "You won't eat it, will you?!"

"Um……"

"Damn it! I was hoping to use it to find another mark! Spit it out!"

"Stop shaking, stop shaking! I'm not just eating it. After integrating it, I can also possess its characteristics and sense it just as well!"

"Really?"

Wang Xiao stopped shaking his hands and interrogated him like he was interrogating a criminal.

"Of course. If you find any high-quality materials in the future, you can give them to me. They will help me recover."

"for example?"

"Well, Dahei is pretty good..."

"You're such a jerk! I knew you had no good intentions, yet you're still pretending to be old in front of me."

Wang Xiao wanted to give Lao Gu a beating, but he slipped out of his grasp and ran back to his lair, pretending to be dead. Wang Xiao didn't intend to argue with him any further, and instead turned his gaze to the side, in the direction of Jinghong Academy.

"It's my turn to fight back."

Wang Xiao muttered to himself, thinking that if he was fast enough, he might be able to intercept Sima Nanqiang halfway.

……

At Yueming Lake, shortly after Sima Nanqiang left, Xuerong produced a palm-sized mirror. The mirror was made of a special transparent crystal, surrounded by a ring of cyan metal. Under Xuerong's guidance, the surface of the mirror shifted from transparent to hazy, as if covered in a layer of mist. Soon, a red dot of light emerged, moving relentlessly in a single direction.

Xue Rong couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and then her figure suddenly disappeared on the spot.

"I hope what Sima Nanqiang said is true, then all the credit will be mine!"

Xue Rong chased and fantasized, and soon her brows furrowed.

"Disappeared? How could he possibly have a way to hide the Primordial Heavenly Crystal?"

Xue Rong tried several more times to capture his position out of disbelief, but the result was always blank on the mirror.

"I underestimated you. Even though I can't find you, I have plenty of ways to force you out."

Sima Nanqiang, meanwhile, was desperately trying to get back to Jinghong Academy to make further preparations. He was flying smoothly across a mountain range, and just as he was about to reach the academy, a spear silently pierced through space and pierced his forehead.

"what!"

Sima Nanqiang screamed in shock. He was too slow to react, but at the crucial moment, a flash of white light blocked most of the attack for him. Bright red blood dripped down his cheeks. His hair was disheveled, his eyes bloodshot, and he kept scanning the surroundings, trying to spot the attacker.

Wang Xiao did not hide. It would be difficult to kill the opponent by sneak attack, so he appeared in front of the opponent openly.

"Oh, you little bastard! I was just worried I couldn't catch you, and yet you dared to show yourself up!"

"Why wouldn't I dare? We're sworn enemies. Killing you today is just to get back some interest."

"Kill me? Just because you're a disciple of a declining sect? If it weren't for the royal family's intervention, I would have uprooted your shabby academy and killed everyone without a single survivor!"

Sima Nanqiang deliberately stirred Wang Xiao's anger, trying to distract him from his composure. His words had a certain effect. While other people his age would have struggled to suppress their emotions, his various experiences had shaped his character far beyond the average.
