I have a high-risk profession in the cultivation world.

Chu Chenmu stared at the dark head and sighed heavily.

You must study hard. Listen carefully when the elders in the sect introduce the Blood Spirit Grass. Try to understand as soon as possible that the Mystic Ice Pool can help you better absorb the medicinal effects of the Blood Spirit Grass, and also understand that your small body cannot directly consume the Blood Spirit Grass.

But I've been with him for so long, could it be that the instructors have already taught this lesson?

Sigh, you'd better figure this out before you kill me.

I wonder how strained their relationship will become after this... Chu Chenmu still clearly remembers the body-tempering pills he gave Luo Suichen when he first transmigrated into the book. It took him six or seven years to dare to take them without worry.

……

"Master, our disciples have reported that Chu Chenmu and his disciples have returned from the far north and entered the Xuanling Secret Realm."

"The Mysterious Spirit Realm? My junior nephew is truly useless. A dignified Nascent Soul cultivator, yet he only dares to go to such a place." Li Chenglin, seated high on the throne, sneered, toying with the teacup in his hand, his expression full of disdain. His good junior brother was incompetent and useless; the disciple he taught was indeed nothing special.

A new generation of cultivation geniuses? Li Chenglin despised those so-called geniuses the most in his life!

Chu Chenmu is a genius, Ren Junmo is a genius, why is everyone a genius, while Li Chenglin is only considered "decent in talent"? Even with all his efforts in cultivation, he is always overshadowed by a junior brother who entered the sect more than ten years later than him.

I really don't know what Master saw in him that made him the sect leader. Over the years, Wuji Sect has been hiding its identity. How many ordinary people have even heard of our powerful name? In the past, when people mentioned cultivation sects, they only knew about Wuji Sect. Now, look what they've done, they've created these four great sects. If it weren't for the sect leader's incompetence, what qualifications would they have to be on equal footing with Wuji Sect?

However, his time is about to come... Master, I will prove with facts that your decision was wrong.

"Send back the disciples who followed Chu Chenmu. Also, how is the cultivation of the Drunken Dream Poison Bellflower in the back mountain going?"

"I just went to check on it yesterday. It should bloom in about half a month."

"Good! Half a month from now will be the day we achieve our goal."

……

Yan Jian'an watched the whole thing unfold and remained silent. Is this kind of thing so fashionable these days? Why make such a dramatic, convoluted plot when it's clearly for the other person's good? If he wrote this in a storybook, it would definitely be a bestseller.

Seeing that Chu Chenmu was still standing there without moving, Yan Jian'an couldn't help but step forward and say, "Sit here for a while. I see that your little apprentice is alright."

Chu Chenmu remained silent for a long while after hearing this before slowly saying, "I'll stay and watch over him; it'll put my mind at ease."

"Since you're not really angry, why did you..." Yan Jian'an was at a loss for words.

"I have something I can't say..." Before he could finish speaking, Chu Chenmu was punished by the system again.

Chu Chenmu paused for a moment, feeling a surge of frustration. He couldn't even confide his troubles to a complete stranger, so why not just kill him? "...Let's not talk about this anymore. I hope Fellow Daoist Yan will keep this a secret."

Yan Jian'an nodded. This was a private matter between him and Luo Suichen, and he wouldn't say anything more. However, he was increasingly unable to understand the person in front of him.

As darkness fell and then dawned again, Chu Chenmu stood motionless on the bank of the Xuanbing Pool, his hair and eyelashes covered in frost from the pool's chilling aura. He deliberately suppressed his icy spiritual power, using his physical body to feel the bone-chilling cold of the surrounding environment.

So the Ice Pool really is this cold.

That night, Chu Chenmu thought a lot about how he should face Luo Suichen when he came out.

If Tian Yige and Su Chengdian ask him, what answer should he give?

But I can't think of an answer.
