Fairy, why bother with me? I am really a yellow-haired villain.

But... the road of cultivation is never smooth. If you really want to break through from the late stage of initial accumulation to the state of cultivating nature, it is by no means easy.

The difficulty of this step may even be far greater than the process of climbing from the early stage of Chu Yun to the late stage of Chu Yun. Even though Yun Zhonghe's current cultivation efficiency has increased more than ten times compared to before, it is impossible to achieve success overnight and break through the barrier of nurturing nature instantly.

Yun Zhonghe had been immersed in cultivation in the Sutra Library for quite some time. Just now, he had finally completed 20% of his cultivation. He let out a long breath, and a trace of fatigue that was difficult to conceal appeared on his face.

Senior Xingbu had been waiting quietly by the side without making any sound, for fear of disturbing Yun Zhonghe's practice. Seeing that Yun Zhonghe had finished work, she shyly approached him with a warm smile on her face, trying to strike up a conversation with Yun Zhonghe.

"Oh~ My friend, have you finished your training?"

However, what Senior Xingbu did not expect was that Yun Zhonghe seemed not to have seen her at all. He stood up on his own, sorted out his experience and a pile of magic secrets, greeted the manager in charge of guarding the Sutra Library, and left quietly.

He ignored the fortune-telling the whole time.

Senior Xingbu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "Hey, little friend..."

Yun Zhonghe didn't say anything, and she became a little anxious, thinking that Yun Zhonghe could neither see nor hear her.

This won’t do. She is still counting on Yun Zhonghe to pray for her. Yun Zhonghe is the only one she can rely on.

However, Yun Zhonghe suddenly stopped walking, and his scrutinizing gaze swept towards Xingbu like a sharp sword.

That look made her heart tighten.

A drop of sweat seemed to form on Xingbu's forehead. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Oh...oh~ My friend, you can see it, so why don't you respond to me?"

"Senior Xingbu," Yun Zhonghe finally spoke slowly, his voice as cold as ice, devoid of any warmth. "Where on earth have you been, enjoying yourself so much lately, that you've forgotten where you are?"

Xing Bu laughed dryly a few times: "Hahaha... well, I just had nothing better to do, so I just wandered around Xuantian Mansion. You know, I'm getting older, so I just like to join in the fun, see what's new, and have some fun, hahaha~"

"Really?" Yun Zhonghe's lips curled up into a forced smile, his eyes fixed on Xingbu. "Then have you heard that the entire shipload of spiritual wine recently purchased by Xuantian Sect was stolen?"

When Xingbu heard this, her expression froze for a moment, and her eyes flickered.

"Huh? What? I, I'm not sure." Xingbu pretended to be dumbfounded and said, "I've been wandering around Xuantian Mansion these days. I don't know what happened in Xuantian Sect."

That’s right, a bizarre case happened in Xuantian Sect these days. A whole ship of precious spiritual wine mysteriously disappeared, and everyone from the Law Enforcement Hall came to Yun Zhonghe to ask about it!

People from the Law Enforcement Hall even found Yun Zhonghe here to investigate clues.

When the members of the Law Enforcement Hall asked Yun Zhonghe about this matter, the first thing that came to Yun Zhonghe's mind was astrology!

There was a high probability that she was the one who stole the spiritual wine from the brothel in Tianhai City!

This guy really doesn't change his bad habits.

Fortunately, since there was no conclusive evidence, the law enforcement team just asked some routine questions and then left.

But Yun Zhonghe felt that sooner or later he would be implicated by Xingbu.

This forced Yun Zhonghe to make up his mind to give her some "big stick education"!

At this moment, Xingbu's eyes wandered: "I really don't know, maybe it was stolen by those hateful demon cultivators? They are capable of doing anything."

Yun Zhonghe sneered and didn't want to pay any attention to her.

Keeping this remnant soul is a disaster and will cause him big trouble sooner or later. It is better to just find a place to bury the Rubik's Cube now.

Sensing the resolute thought in Yun Zhonghe's heart, Xingbu's face suddenly became horrified, but he did not dare to alert the enemy.

She first asked tentatively: "Xiao, Xiaoyou...you can't be serious, this matter really has nothing to do with me."

However, Yun Zhonghe remained silent, just walking towards a sparsely populated woodland.

Xingbu was a little panicked, feeling that Yun Zhonghe was serious, and his voice trembled slightly: "Believe me! I really didn't drink secretly!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhonghe couldn't help but sneer, "Senior Xingbu, I didn't say anyone stole the wine, I just said the wine was stolen."

Well, this is already a confession.

Yun Zhonghe chuckled and took out a shovel from his ring, ready to bury the Rubik's Cube alive on the spot.

At this point, Xingbu could no longer hide the truth. She clung to Yun Zhonghe's legs and burst into tears, crying and begging with tears and snot: "I was wrong! I was wrong! I haven't touched spiritual wine for a hundred years. I was really confused for a moment. You can't do this..."

Yun Zhonghe couldn't help but roll his eyes at Xingbu's miserable appearance.

He knew it was like this.

He was also completely convinced. How could he be so unlucky to have to deal with such a guy?

Wouldn't it be better to admit your mistake earlier? Why did you have to be stubborn till the end?

"open."

Yun Zhonghe frowned, his voice revealing obvious impatience.

Xingbu was in tears, holding the corner of Yun Zhonghe's clothes tightly with both hands, refusing to let go.

She sobbed, "I was wrong. I really know I was wrong! Wuuuuuuu... I promise I will never steal alcohol again. Please don't bury me."

Yun Zhonghe smacked his lips in disgust.

The dignified Supreme Hedao was so without dignity that he could even do such a despicable thing as stealing wine.

You have brought shame to the Supreme Hedao!

And that sad face, like that of a mentally retarded goddess, is really speechless.

I inexplicably wanted to beat her up.

"Okay, stop howling. I won't bury you. If you want to drink spirit wine, you can tell me and I will buy it for you. But you can't steal it anymore!"

Yun Zhonghe held his forehead and sighed.

Although he had thought about teaching Xingbu a lesson many times, he was still soft-hearted in the end.

He just wanted to scare her and give her a warning.

After all, Xingbu had stood up for him before, and Yun Zhonghe didn't want to be too unkind.

"real?!"

Xingbu was overjoyed, stopped sobbing, and slowly released his claws.

"My dear, I know you are the best person. I give you a kiss~mua~"

As she spoke, she leaned close to Yun Zhonghe's cheek, wanting to kiss him.

"No! That's not necessary!"

Yun Zhonghe's "Death Grip" grabbed Xingbu's approaching face and pushed her face away.

Xingbu was unhappy: "Why? I'm a beauty too. Why are you looking down on me when I kiss you?"

"If you don't want it, then you don't want it. Why all the nonsense?"

Yun Zhonghe warned with a stern face.

The two finally made three rules: Xingbu was forbidden to do bad things again, and he could discuss anything he needed with Yun Zhonghe, and he would also buy spiritual wine and other things.

Fortunately, Yun Zhonghe now has a new way to make money, which makes him financially more comfortable. It is not difficult for him to buy some spiritual wine to satisfy his little hobby of divination.

Of course, it was a bit too much to ask him to buy a whole spirit boat full of spirit wine at once, but he could still afford a drink or two every day.

Besides, who can drink that much?

Yun Zhonghe was really curious. How could Xingbu, who was already a remnant soul, still be able to eat and drink?

"But, let me be frank," Yun Zhonghe said with a sharp gaze and a tone of undeniable warning, "If you cause me any more trouble, the next punishment won't be simply burying you underground."

Upon hearing this, Xingbu blinked his eyes and promised sincerely, "Don't worry, I absolutely won't do that! I've really learned my lesson this time!"

She promised so.

Seeing her sincere attitude, Yun Zhonghe slowly took out a cup of fragrant spiritual wine from his ring and stuffed it into Xingbu's arms: "Here, this is for you."

It can be seen that Yun Zhonghe actually intended to forgive her, and even bought the spiritual wine in advance.

Xingbu was holding the spiritual wine and was in a very happy mood.

"Yun Zhonghe, it's great to meet you!"

Xingbu cheered and floated and spun lightly in the air, like a dragon and a phoenix dancing. The joy from the bottom of his heart made Yun Zhonghe smile bitterly.

Although Yun Zhonghe has always been very sharp-tongued towards her and his words are always a bit impolite, he is really nice to her.

Xingbu held the spirit wine in his palm, took small sips, and savored its mellow aroma and sweetness, his eyes and eyebrows filled with satisfaction and happiness.

She seems to like drinking.

However, I thought the spiritual wine would leak out of her body, but surprisingly, it didn't.

Xingbu explained, "I refine the spirit wine into spiritual energy before introducing it into my body. Not only can I still taste the spirit wine, but I can also absorb the spiritual energy more efficiently."

Yun Zhonghe was amazed.

However, this method is only applicable to spiritual wine, and it is also a unique drinking technique developed by Xingbu himself.

To be able to develop such unprecedented skills, Xingbu is undoubtedly a complete alcoholic.

Xingbu is now a remnant soul and cannot enjoy normal food, so spirit wine has become her only pleasure.

She also knew that her behavior of stealing wine was wrong, but she had been locked in the Rubik's Cube for a hundred years. After smelling the fragrance of the spiritual wine, she really couldn't resist the temptation.

After listening to her mental journey, Yun Zhonghe could understand a little bit and felt a little sympathy for her.

The matter is considered to be dropped.

Anyway, there is no conclusive evidence to prove that the spiritual wine was stolen by Xingbu. Even if it is really traced back to Yun Zhonghe, what can be done?

……

Today's training mission has been successfully completed. Before returning to his residence, Yun Zhonghe decided to go to the Beast Taming Peak first.

He had previously received a spiritual message from Senior Sister Qing Luan, informing him that the third-grade talisman he had previously entrusted to handle had been successfully sold for a full one million spirit stones!

It can be seen that all the disciples have been working hard for the competition recently and don’t feel sorry for spending money.

Chapter 358: Demonic cultivator, professional in taking the blame!

With excitement in his heart, Yun Zhonghe hurried to the Beast Taming Peak with light steps, thinking in his mind how to use these spirit stones to further improve his strength.

He first went to Senior Sister Qing Luan's residence and collected the one million spirit stones. The heavy bag of spirit stones made him feel at ease.

He then made an additional request, hoping to enter the mysterious stone tower again.

After these days of practice, all the mental energy that was previously depleted has been replenished.

Under Yun Zhonghe's strong request, Qing Luan had no choice but to agree.

Stone Tower——

Qing Luan couldn't see the star divination, including the minotaur people guarding the stone tower. Now the star divination was only visible to Yun Zhonghe.

When she saw the summoning talisman floating at the top of the stone tower, she couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Oh~ I didn't expect that there would still be ancestral talismans left in this era."

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhonghe couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, and asked himself, "Could it be that there were no ancestral talismans a hundred years ago?"

That's not the case. A hundred years ago, there were traces of the activities of the Supreme Hedao in the world of cultivation. There must be a fallen Supreme Hedao who dropped the ancestral talisman.

Xingbu hesitated, as if realizing that he had let the cat out of the bag, and was trying to come up with an excuse to cover it up.

Then, she suddenly thought of something, and then she winked at Yun Zhonghe and said mischievously: "Well... it's a secret~"

What a secret!

If Xingbu wasn't a remnant soul now and couldn't be touched, he really wanted to hit her head with a bang.

In short, it is an excuse for not revealing the secret.

Yun Zhonghe was used to it, so he turned his attention to capturing the talisman...

……

With the successful experience from last time, he seemed more calm this time, his technique was more skillful, and in the end it took less time than last time.

It may be because Yun Zhonghe’s spiritual realm has improved.

With a slight fluctuation, he successfully "fished" out a complete third-grade talisman!

With a slight fluctuation, he successfully "fished" out a complete third-grade talisman!

"You must be kidding!" She couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, the shock in her heart was beyond words.

Even though she had already reached the level of cultivating her spiritual power, she had never successfully captured a complete third-grade talisman in one go.
