Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

Song Kezi was right. Even Hua Yingting and Xu San'er realized that this sword strike was not so simple.

After Zhu Wuyao was smug, Hua Yingting came to his door the next day and interrogated him.

"Don't worry, I'm full of energy and vitality!"

But Hua Yingting wouldn't listen to that. If Zhu Wuyao had already had such strength, why would she need to ask her for medicine when she went to beat up Shen Xun?

Moreover, how could she possibly hide from Zhu Wuyao whether he had any extraordinary encounters in the past thirteen years?

"Tell me the truth, is what Shen Xun said true?"

"What kind of tips or tricks have you been talking about?"

In the world of cultivation, there are countless extraordinary techniques.

Some of these methods involve exchanging vital energy and lifespan for a significant boost in strength within a short period.

If such evil magic was really used, telling her would at least allow her to find the right treatment and see if there's any chance of saving her!

"Don't worry, it's really just a little trick."

Either draw your sword, or I die.

That's called skill!

However, this method is not perfect. Every time you draw your sword, you are "seeking survival." But if you keep going back and forth between life and death, the tension in your heart will eventually loosen, and you will lose your life.

Perhaps one day—

The killing intent was no longer enough to ignite the sword's intent.

Every time this sword is used, it wears down one's mind and spirit.

In order to lure Shen Xun out, Zhu Wuyao felt that the wear and tear on this sword move was almost halfway done.

Fortunately, the harvest was also quite good.

After seven days of battle, the Wufeng Sword has been able to be controlled at will, and the Falling Leaf Sword Technique has reappeared in the world. This is true strength.

He earned 15,000 spirit stones from selling the challenge invitations, plus the 16,000 he had just extorted. Zhu Wuyao had never been so wealthy before; this was profit.

Moreover, after these few days of battle, the previous crisis has been resolved, and there are even many supporters. At crucial moments, I have a voice, which is power.

The most important gain was that he had surpassed Shen Xun. If the luck between the two was really so mysterious, then he now had the upper hand, and it would be even more difficult for Shen Xun to catch up. This was exhilarating!

This made him constantly sarcastic and manipulative, even leading him to attempt a robbery and murder!

Ideally, Shen Xun should be seriously injured and on the verge of death, and he should be forced to go into seclusion for the next few years.

Zhu Wuyao felt that she truly possessed the magnanimity to show leniency.

Although the three-man ambush team didn't think so.

"Don't worry about me. The reason I'm so good is because of the dozens of matches I've gone through. That's why I've been able to make such a splash today!"

Hua Yingting clearly didn't believe it and was about to say something when there was another knock on the door of Zhu Wuyao's courtyard.

The newcomer was none other than Xu San'er!

The moment he entered, the two noticed the change in him—

Not only was he radiant, but his strength had also reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Sister Zhu, I've come to bring you spirit stones!"

Zhu Wuyao finally understood Hua Yingting's worries about her. In just one day, Xu San'er had reached the early Foundation Establishment stage, and even seemed eager to break through to the middle stage. She immediately said:

"Wait a minute, let's put the spirit stones aside for now. Your cultivation has improved so quickly, is your foundation stable?"

If they had some kind of extraordinary encounter, that would be understandable.

But this calm and peaceful situation makes it hard not to suspect that Xu San'er used the spirit stones he earned to exchange for some kind of elixirs that would help the plants grow faster.

Xu San'er was even happier when Zhu Wuyao mentioned this, and said:

"Don't worry! Full of energy and vitality!"

"This is all thanks to you, Sister Zhu!"

After some explanation, Zhu Wuyao finally understood what Xu San'er was up to.

He indeed took Qi Jianxian's words to heart.

I made a bet with that black jade die!

That's a strange claim; it involves gambling with dice used in gambling games.

What are you betting on?

"Hehe, I originally wanted to gamble on whether you could become the sixth personal disciple, but in the end, I didn't dare to gamble that much. What I gambled on was—"

"On the dueling stage, who will prevail between you and Shen Xun!"

Zhu Wuyao's expression instantly became incredibly interesting.

In her view, the causal weight of this matter is probably no less than that of her direct disciples.

If Shen Xun, with his protagonist template, were to be combined with the luck that was already his, he would probably be unparalleled in this era.

But by a twist of fate, he, as a "visitor from another world," disrupted the script of destiny.

Xu San'er really dares to meddle.

However, in terms of risk, it is not that great, because whether you can win depends not only on your strength in the duel, but also on your reputation, which can be considered as a superior victory.

But back then, no one expected things to escalate to this extent.

"So, your breakthrough was because you won the gamble?"

Xu San'er shook his head, took out the black jade die, and said:

"No, it's because I've mastered the art of divination!"

Hua Yingting became interested and reached out to take the die. The black jade contrasted beautifully with the white jade, both of them were translucent.

"Could it be that we're going to use this die?"

“Exactly!” Xu San’er nodded and continued:

"The moment I won the bet, a sudden realization dawned on me—I wish you, Sister, that you will become my personal disciple!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhu Wuyao's eyes.

What is the origin of this die that makes it even more useful than Shen Anzhi's eyes?

She had never encountered a fortune teller who could tell her fortune...

Thinking of this, Zhu Wuyao looked at the die with even more vigilance and asked:

"What will happen if you lose the bet?"

Speaking of this, Xu San'er was also somewhat puzzled. He took the dice back from Hua Yingting's hand, scratched his head, and said:

"It seems there's no cost involved..."

Hearing this, Hua Yingting looked at Zhu Wuyao, then at Xu San'er, and said:

"Both of you are full of energy and haven't paid any price. Are you trying to fool me?"

That's not how you should put it!

Zhu Wuyao thought about it and realized that some coincidences are just that ingenious.

For example, Hua Yingting's "Great Luo Heaven" was directly cultivated by reversing cause and effect the moment he entered the realm of sentient beings.

Her passive sword strike—which is usually called a passive sword strike, but when it comes to a prestigious occasion, it is called a life-or-death sword strike—also cleverly exploits a bug.

Xu San'er's die must have its own ingenious features, but we haven't figured out its operating mechanism yet.

As for the divination that "she will become a direct disciple," Zhu Wuyao temporarily casts a question mark on it, not only because of his own inability to perform divination, but also because the mechanism of this die is questionable.

Furthermore, because—the cause and effect of this matter is truly difficult to explain.

Moreover, there's also the option of "changing one's fate".

Who knows, she might make a wrong move and change her fate, losing her position as a direct disciple!

But this die is still quite magical.

Zhu Wuyao looked at it with exceptional fervor, his eyes conveying two words—"I want it!"
