Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?-Chapter 369 - 311: They’re Overseas

"How much sorrow can one man bear? She stabbed me a few times, and now you want me to run errands for her?"

Honestly, Bai Xiangdong’s idea to create the Magical Treasure List might actually work; his eyesight was too sharp. Using You Li’s last Palm Sword and her connection with the group from the Self-Improvement Sect, he immediately linked her to that thick-browed, big-eyed girl who stabbed him in the waist.

"You’ve got the wrong person."

The commoner tugged at the corner of his mouth and hurriedly spoke.

Bai Xiangdong couldn’t help but roll his eyes at him, scoffing.

"Who in the world doesn’t recognize her? Don’t take me for a fool. That Palm Sword is exactly the same as the one that stabbed me in the waist, and in the entire area of Nanling City, besides her, who else could get Pills from Han Yu?"

Damn, such a strong and clear logic left the commoner unable to respond.

According to the Earth Palace’s method, the monster suppression technique was already in place. To lure it out, Han Yu’s idea was to use the Dragon Blood Stone.

If the Dragon Blood Stone and the Divine Technique monster came from the same Corpse Refining Lineage, then the Dragon Blood Stone is certainly very important to the monster. This was somewhat evident from the monster’s recent actions.

There were four Dragon Blood Stones: one that I had which the Inspectorate took away for research, one robbed from Huangfu Liang, one absorbed by the monster from You Li, and now only the last one is with Ye Hei.

If you want the Dragon Blood Stone, besides Ye Hei’s side, you have only the Inspectorate left.

"We at Nanli Sword Studio can also send someone to get it."

The Great Elder beside him frowned, speaking with dissatisfaction.

Given that there is a way to suppress and lure out the monster, a mere stone could certainly be obtained if Nanli Sword Studio intervenes.

"You really can’t do that."

The cousin shook his head and spoke, explaining that the item wasn’t owned by Unparalleled Tower, but by Ou Mingdong. Nanli Sword Studio couldn’t just take it with empty words.

To get the Dragon Blood Stone immediately, the name of Nanli Sword Studio isn’t as useful as Han Yu’s.

First, the stone was intercepted by Han Yu at the start. Without him, it would have already fallen into the hands of the Four Gentlemen of the Evil Path and disappeared without a trace.

Second, Ou Mingdong’s life was saved by Han Yu. To put it bluntly, if others say the Dragon Blood Stone has issues, he wouldn’t believe them. But if Han Yu said there was an issue with the stone, he would definitely believe it.

Han Yu’s plan was to have Bai Xiangdong take the commoner to retrieve it since Ou Mingdong recognized the commoner, making it more convenient for him to get it.

But if Bai Xiangdong was unwilling, Han Yu intended to go get it himself.

"No need, it’s not a big deal."

The commoner gave Han Yu a reassuring look, took a few steps forward, and hooked arms with Bai Xiangdong. After whispering something indistinct, Bai Xiangdong burst into a grinning demeanor after just a few words.

In the end, it was Bai Xiangdong who led the commoner away.

This overseas trickster sure was capable!

...

After half a day, Han Yu observed his busy cousin and found him momentarily stunned.

You Li had already been moved to an open space outside the Little Garden, where the disciples of Nanli Sword Studio had built a platform a yard wide, replacing the iron pillars around it with a combination of Mo Family’s cold iron, and the runes were inscribed by the Great Elder following the pattern drawn by Yi Xian.

Four chains extended from the pillars to the front of You Li’s bed. Except for the smaller altar and missing Great Cauldron, it was made 90% similar.

"I never had direct contact with the Great Cauldron, so I couldn’t replicate it."

The cousin was also helpless about this; when Han Yu was protecting them, there was no chance to interact with the Great Cauldron.

"It’s fine, we don’t need to worship it anyway."

Han Yu said, noting that the altar’s role was to suppress, making the Great Cauldron optional since it mainly aided in sustaining.

Moreover, the cousin boasted that he could construct the array in a day, but it was completed in half a day. However, Han Yu felt something was off about the so-called array.

Originally, there should have been a field of stone pillars in the Little Garden, but now small iron boxes were placed on the ground, engraved with runes, radiating light.

"Rest assured, this thing I used mechanisms and Spirit Stones to drive. The effect will be the same, though not lasting, but it’ll do for three to five days."

The cousin vowed confidently.

Indeed, three to five days were more than enough time.

Preparations here were already complete. The only thing left was waiting for the commoner and his friend to bring back the stone.

"Are you sure this method will work?"

The cousin wasn’t entirely convinced, given that when Han Yu presented the plan, it successfully persuaded Nanli Sword Studio’s high-level members, or they wouldn’t have allowed them to proceed freely.

Yet he still harbored doubts.

"This creature tried everything to escape before; there’s no way it’d be willing to be suppressed again."

When a suppression force similar to the altar’s was transmitted, it might greatly alarm it, possibly causing it to flee from You Li’s body.

"If that doesn’t work, there’s still the Dragon Blood Stone. If this thing truly takes effect, the monster won’t be able to resist the stone’s allure."

Han Yu explained.

It wasn’t a clever trick, just exploiting the monster’s fear of the array and its greed for the Dragon Blood Stone.

Nanli Sword Studio was helpless against the monster simply because they knew nothing about it, leaving them at its mercy.

"Speaking of which, won’t feeding it two Dragon Blood Stones in a row cause issues?"

One Dragon Blood Stone had already been absorbed by You Li, and if another was fed, surely it would be like sending meat buns to a dog. Who knows what could happen when two stones capable of advancing a cultivator to the Realm of Transcendence are fed to it. The cousin thought of this, asking with some worry.

At this moment, a voice came through.

"There’s no need to worry about this. As long as you can lure the monster out, the rest will be handled by Nanli Sword Studio."

The speaker was Xia Wuyou, who came over with the Great Elder.

Though Nanli Sword Studio couldn’t handle the monster, they’re confident in their strength to easily kill this fiend.

The Great Elder was especially furious, as this monster had disgusted everyone at Nanli Sword Studio. Once it’s subdued, it would be thrown into a boiling oil cauldron a thousand times over.

Xia Wuyou quietly watched the two for a moment and made a solemn promise.

"If this succeeds, I owe you a favor."

This made the Artifact Spirit in the Sea of Consciousness overjoyed. If it weren’t for Ping still sleeping, it might have immediately popped out a West River Pill to test the other’s sincerity.

"Don’t be mischievous!"

Han Yu quickly suppressed this foolish impulse; damn, it had the nerve to think about offering pills to the Nine Sects’ Sect Leader.

It’s safer to flirt with the Inspectorate than to target Xia Wuyou.

Speaking of the Inspectorate, who knows if they could keep their cool upon discovering the affair with the Dragon Blood Stone and the Divine Power Monster.

...

"This is just ridiculous!"

Quan Xiaotong’s face was extremely sour. They had just gone to the Unparalleled Tower with Ou Mingdong, and the Inspectorate immediately knew the origin of the information.

Especially when combining it with the affairs caused by the monster in Nanling City, such a disgusting thing was actually reared by those people.

Learning about these matters, Quan Xiaotong was truly frightened for a moment.

"What’s that dead fatty from the Hundred Herbs Bureau doing? After all this time, he just says it’s not advisable for cultivators to eat it, while Han Yu over there found a use for it without a Spirit Stone."

In his frustration, Fatty Guan had taken the blame and was scolded by Quan Xiaotong for a full quarter of an hour as a punching bag.

Gao Feng, the old general, remained calm at such times. He wryly smiled, came forward, picked up the scattered documents, folded them neatly, and then spoke.

"Things aren’t as bad as you think. This is something that’s already happened; we just learned about it now. And what does this show?"

Show what?

Quan Xiaotong was taken aback, suspiciously pondering.

Gao Feng slowly spoke, "Qi Bai’s testimony long ago stated that his divine power was implanted, though it was indeed unexpected that the source of divine power was so incredible."

After a moment of shock, upon careful consideration, it wasn’t that terrifying. So many people were taken from the island, yet only Qi Bai became a Divine Power User.

The time span was about ten years to implant the divine power, so firstly, the requirements for planting divine power must be stringent. Secondly, it requires a long period of accumulation to plant it.

"Speaking of Han Yu’s pills, they’re truly terrifying. That Mo Family kid became a Divine Power User in just half a day, and you didn’t lose your composure like this."

Gao Feng suddenly spoke with a strange expression.

Quan Xiaotong was startled, right! Compared to that, the kid’s pills are even more outrageous, aren’t they?

With that thought, the shock brought by the Dragon Blood Stone and the Divine Power Monster wasn’t such a big deal.

"You’re absolutely right, I shouldn’t have been so flustered."

Quan Xiaotong took a deep breath, gradually calming down.

With this clue, the legend of Qingzhou Prefecture can be concluded.

It’s that the Corpse Refining Lineage wiped out the Cultivator Realm team and the entire State Prefecture gathered at that time.

Combined with the incident in Dongling Prefecture, similar methods could have been used, draining cultivators of their essence, which is why the so-called "Dragon Blood Stone" was left behind.

"The deeper you dig, the more mysterious these people become. Initially, I thought they conspired against the Cultivator Realm. Later, I thought they wanted to control the Imperial Court. Now, I truly can’t guess what they really want to do?"

Quan Xiaotong sighed heavily.

The main issue is that some of his speculations were confirmed, while others were disproved.

"The Southern Border has been swept back and forth by Che Dapao’s people, and there’s simply no result I predicted."

Originally, he confidently speculated that the Corpse Refining Lineage’s base was in the Southern Border, with Che Dapao’s support. Little did they expect that after half a year, there was absolutely no gain.

"Then keep exploring, boldly speculate, and verify slowly—isn’t that your style?"

Gao Feng, as someone experienced, was much calmer than him at this time.

"Mainly, my speculations are extremely peculiar."

Quan Xiaotong said with a wry smile.

"How peculiar?"

Gao Feng’s heart stirred. For this daring fellow to find it peculiar and not dare to speculate.

It should be noted that back then, without any leads in Qingzhou Prefecture, he connected it with the Corpse Refining Lineage.

Quan Xiaotong slowly unfolded a map. At the end of the East Sea Realm, he specially marked that vast sea domain.

"If I overturn the previous speculations and re-derive, then only this remains."

Overseas!
