I have been bound in a forbidden place for five hundred years. Why are you crying when I am a casual

The Fruit of Evil...

So, what Sui Xing said before, that she ate a lot of it whole, was that so-called Source of Evil Fruit?

Gu Xiu pondered to himself, but still felt shrouded in mystery.

What exactly happened to me before?

Why did he suddenly lose control and eat the Fruit of Evil? And won't eating so much of it have any negative effects on him in the end?

"Don't be afraid. Although the situation isn't good, it's not a dead end." Seeing Gu Xiu's silence, Chao Wu assumed he was worried and offered a word of comfort.

Gu Xiu realized what was happening and immediately said, "It's not that I'm afraid, I'm just thinking about how I can help you, General."

"Haha, if you want to share the burden, that's easy."

"Oh?"

"Your solo journey out of the gray fog today has already attracted a lot of attention. I reckon that once their banquet is over, not only will Shen Yanshu try to recruit you, but others will also want to bring you under their wing."

"Because I'm familiar with the situation in the gray fog? But since there are teams in the city that specifically go out to search for Holy Light, they should be more familiar with the surrounding area than I am, right?"

"Of course, that's not all," Chao Wu said, shaking his head.

“The demons who possess the Fiend Fruit are all extremely special and powerful. Most importantly, they are extremely sensitive to the aura of people outside. Anyone who arrives at the Purple Star Enclosure for the first time and steps into the gray mist will immediately attract the demons who possess the Fiend Fruit.”

“We used to obtain a lot of karmic fruits using this method.”

"It is already extremely difficult to find someone who has set foot here for the first time, and you appeared in the gray fog, so you must have already been hunted down by those evil demons."

Gu Xiu instantly understood: "So, many of them actually want to use me as bait to more easily capture the Occurrence Fruit?"

“No, no, no, it’s not a bait.” Chao Wu shook his head: “I don’t know why, but all those who descend for the first time can only attract that kind of evil demon for the very first moment. After that moment, the attraction disappears.”

"So they want me to lead the way to the place where I first arrived, so they can expand their search there?" Gu Xiu asked.

Chao Wu nodded: "That's right, that's for sure. Shen Yanshu's maid must have had this in mind."

"So..." Now that things had come to this point, Gu Xiu understood his predicament and immediately asked:

"What does General Chao expect his subordinates to do?"

“I want you to continue delaying,” Chao Wu said. “You don’t need to refuse their offers. In fact, it would be even better if you could trick them all into going. There are still three days before departure. When that time comes, you just need to lead them as far away from where you will arrive as possible, making sure that none of them can obtain the Occurrence Fruit in a short period of time.”

"Continue to delay?" Gu Xiu asked in surprise, sensing that something was amiss.

If what Chao Wu said is true, then the Duke of Wuwei should be in a very bad situation now. What he should do is make a decision as soon as possible, instead of continuing to delay. If he continues to delay, he may get burned at any time and arouse public anger.

unless……

Duke Wuwei had no intention of choosing; he wanted to establish himself as king!

"It's almost time. The banquet for those young masters will be over soon." Chao Wu didn't mention this to Gu Xiu, but simply said after checking the time:

"The identity of the Xiuyi Envoy is rather secretive, and you need another identity on the surface. Therefore, I will arrange for you to join the Six Doors as a patrol officer. At that time, you will be able to move freely in the city, which will make it easier to stall and deal with those young masters."

Chao Wu was extremely efficient.

After finishing the meal, he immediately took Gu Xiu to the Six Doors government office, where they received a police uniform and a badge before leaving.

Gu Xiu immediately stopped the other party and asked where he was staying. Chao Wu simply replied, "Didn't that young lady give you a bag of Yuan coins? At least thirty. Are you worried about not having a place to stay?"

"That's impossible to stay in a restaurant every day, right? I just took a look, and it's not cheap to stay one night."

"There's nothing we can do about it. Every inch of land in Wuwei City is precious, and a mere constable like you certainly can't afford to be housed. If you don't want to stay in a restaurant, you can try to find a place to rent. Of course, if you don't like renting, you can save up some Yuan coins and buy yourself a place."

"How much is my salary?"

"It's not low."

"How much is that?"

"three hundred."

"daily?"

"per month."

"...What about housing prices in Wuwei City?"

"not much."

How much?

"Save your money, three hundred years is enough to buy a set."

"..."

Looking at the twenty coins left in his hand, which had been divided up, and then at Chao Wu's back as if he were afraid that he would borrow money, Gu Xiu was speechless.

Good guy.

I am a constable, and I also serve as a costume envoy. It would take me three hundred years to buy a house in the third ring of Wuwei City.

Gu Xiu suddenly understood why there were so many poor people in the Fourth Ring Road.

Those who can afford to live within the Third Ring Road are no ordinary people.

Fortunately, Gu Xiu didn't really need to consider buying a house or anything like that. He didn't even need to rent a place. As it was getting dark, Gu Xiu searched around in a deserted corner of the Third Ring Road and took out the broken porcelain shards from the Mountain and River Remnant Realm.

After thinking for a moment, he stuffed the broken porcelain shard under the eaves of the house next door, and then, with a flash of light, he disappeared without a trace.

Today was his first day at the Three Enclosures Sea of ​​Sin, and it went relatively smoothly.

He uncovered much information that was thought to be difficult to obtain, and even managed to obtain a legitimate identity to facilitate his future actions. The most important thing now was to heal his injuries and restore his cultivation.

In fact, cultivators who come to the Three Enclosures Sea of ​​Sin may indeed suffer greatly because of the thin spiritual energy in this place.

But Gu Xiu wouldn't.

In his Mountain and River Remnant Realm, spirit stones were piled up like a mountain, and most of them were top-grade spirit stones, so he didn't have to worry about them at all. Moreover, cultivating in the Mountain and River Remnant Realm was obviously safer than cultivating in the outside world, and he even saved on rent.

As for the invitation from Shen Yanshu's maid...

Gu Xiu had no intention of actually accepting the invitation.

The other party threw themselves at him, but Gu Xiu wasn't interested. There was no point in playing games and being hypocritical. The most important thing right now was to restore his cultivation. Only when his cultivation was restored and he was strong enough could he do more things.

As for whether this broken promise would affect him, Gu Xiu wasn't worried at all.

Since you know the other party needs your help, there's no need to rush to them.

Waiting for the right price is the right choice.

After greeting the shattered stars, Gu Xiu held a spirit stone in one hand to absorb its energy, while simultaneously examining a Yuan coin.

This is the hard currency in the Three Realms Sea of ​​Sin. Gu Xiu thought it would be like spirit stones, but after a careful investigation, he found that it was similar to copper coins among mortals. He didn't know what the material was, but it was definitely not useful for cultivation.

Clearly, this is just a type of currency, though it does have four characters engraved on it.

The Three Walls are innocent!

Shaking his head, Gu Xiu stopped worrying about it and began to focus on recovering his injuries and cultivation.

Not long after, Gu Xiu frowned. His injuries were quite severe, especially the blow he received when he obtained the Sky-Stepping Shoes. It was extremely terrifying. Although it was only a very weak force, it was still extremely deadly. Even with pills and spirit stones, Gu Xiu could not recover quickly.

After trying for two full hours, the recovery was still worrying.

"This injury seems to have an extremely strong ability to repel my spiritual energy. The effect of using a top-grade spirit stone is actually less than that of a low-grade spirit stone?" Gu Xiu muttered to himself, realizing the problem.

This is not okay.

With the blockage still present, the effect of using a single spirit stone is like a drop in the ocean, and it would be extremely wasteful.

He tried to find a way to wear down those forces.

However, he found that no matter how hard he tried, he could not diminish it in the slightest. If this continued, Gu Xiuzhen would only be equivalent to a Golden Core Great Perfection cultivator. Although he could unleash his peak power when he needed to, he could not use it indefinitely.

This doesn't work.

This problem must be solved!

After much deliberation, Gu Xiu produced four jade tablets in his hand, which were the immortal techniques he had obtained from Ling Xuzi and the others.

Three of them are ordinary cultivation techniques for immortals.

The other book was obtained after they became disciples of the Celestial Decree Immortal Venerable.

Gu Xiu hadn't even had a chance to carefully observe what he had gained so far. Now that he was temporarily safe and his cultivation was difficult to recover quickly, he might as well take a look at what kind of immortal technique this was.

maybe.

It can help me solve my current predicament!

(Happy New Year to all my book lovers! May you all become incredibly wealthy!)
