The vine quickly wrapped around his wrist.
"BZZZT!"
The Vortex Power appeared in Chu Lingguang’s palm again. He forcibly absorbed the vine, refining it over and over. This continued for a full hour.
The vine finally vanished completely.
No more green motes of light appeared before him.
Just as He Mingxuan had said, these strange things could be destroyed.
’For this kind of vine—one that had burrowed into Xie Xiaohuan’s body, couldn’t be shaken off, and seemed hell-bent on forcing its way into my own body to wreak havoc—the best way to deal with it is to end it once and for all. Completely refining it is the only way to ensure it won’t target me again.’
In any case, Chu Lingguang was different from others.
He was blessed with Favor Points.
And he had the potential to obtain a cultivation method to break through the Qi Refining Realm.
The reason his Sea of Consciousness was far beyond that of an ordinary person was because he had obtained the Consciousness Sea Power Basic Cultivation Method. In Chu Lingguang’s heart, he had always believed this method was of a level controlled by Yuanchu Mountain.
’I’ve already obtained one part of it. I’ll definitely have a chance to get other cultivation methods in the future.’
He hadn’t reached the point where he would risk his life just to break through to the True Martial Realm, bonding with a strange entity and ending up as something that was neither human nor ghost.
After successfully destroying the vine, Chu Lingguang traveled at full speed.
Finally, five days later, he returned to Baiyang County.
"Master."
Chu Lingguang kowtowed to Guo Wei.
Before returning, he had sent a message via falcon, telling Guo Wei he would be coming back for a visit.
Because of this, Hei Hu had even taken special leave, bringing Zhang Linghua back to the county seat to stay for a while.
He and Zhang Linghua were now happily married. After not seeing him for over a year, Chu Lingguang found that Hei Hu had become a father. The Hei Clan now had a big, healthy son.
Second Aunt’s two sons had both passed the exams to become Scholars.
The sad news was that Mr. Liu had passed away three months ago. Having found his daughter, he had departed with a smile on his face.
「Over a year had passed.」
Baiyang County hadn’t changed, but its people and their stories had.
"Master, Tian, I brought you something good."
After a period of recuperation, although Guo Xiaotian’s legs still couldn’t move as freely as a normal person’s, his whole spirit was immensely better, and his Qi Blood was much stronger.
Guo Wei was currently looking for a wife for him.
"Oh? What is it?"
The father and son were very curious.
"Master, let’s go inside before we talk."
Chu Lingguang kept them in suspense.
Once only the three of them were left in the room, Chu Lingguang opened the box.
He had specially treated the box so that not even Spiritual Sense Fluctuations could easily penetrate it. The method was very simple: he had placed a Ruby inside to block them.
He first removed the Ruby, placed it in a special cloth bag, and only then did he let Guo Wei and his son come forward to look.
Other than being a bit dark, Xie Xiaohuan’s head showed no signs of decay.
"Xie—"
Guo Xiaotian was extremely agitated and nearly shouted the name, but the equally shocked Guo Wei clamped a hand over his mouth.
The two of them only calmed down a moment later.
But their expressions were still incredibly emotional.
"Lin Guang, how did you do it?"
Guo Wei asked in disbelief.
"I used my leave to go to the Turkic lands and killed him inside his castle."
Chu Lingguang said nonchalantly.
"Good riddance! I wish I could have torn him limb from limb myself."
Guo Xiaotian’s eyes were bloodshot. He lunged at Xie Xiaohuan’s head and began to tear at it viciously. The hatred in his heart, forged from the torture he had endured at Wolf Valley Pass, had grown with each passing day.
"Lin Guang, thank you!"
Guo Wei said, his voice trembling.
"You not only saved me, but you also avenged my deepest hatred. I can never repay you in this lifetime."
Guo Xiaotian said, falling to his knees.
*(Helped Guo Wei and Guo Xiaotian by killing Xie Xiaohuan and received their gratitude. Obtained one copy of the "Qi Refining Manual".)*
Just then, a line of text appeared before Chu Lingguang’s eyes. When he saw the last part of the line, Chu Lingguang felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
’The Qi Refining Manual?’
’A cultivation method for the Qi Refining Realm?’
