Chapter 218: Extinguishing the Last Hope
After a day and a night of refining, Youhuang finally refined half of the medicinal power.
Xue Zun nodded with satisfaction and said, "With your cultivation level, refining half of the medicinal power is already the limit. You can refine the remaining medicinal power slowly in the future."
"understood."
Youhuang stretched lazily.
Looking at the dim sky, he said, "Can't we set off earlier?"
"The Tianji Pavilion has many affairs to attend to, so you can't just leave whenever you want." Xue Zun looked at her calm face and said, "Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, I promised Madam Hou that I would advise you to meet her."
"Why do you start to meddle in the affairs of mortals?" Youhuang still looked indifferent.
"You are not a mortal." Xue Zun stood up and said, "It's up to you whether to see me or not. I have to go back to Tianji Pavilion."
"Senior, take care." You Huang saw the guest off directly.
Xue Zun stood up, smiled, turned around calmly and gracefully, and disappeared into the house.
Daji immediately rushed over and cried, patting her belly to indicate that she wanted to eat.
“You really can eat!”
Reluctantly, he stood up and headed to the kitchen.
Suddenly, Shen Zhaojun's voice came from outside the door again: "Huang'er, mother asked someone to make boiled fish, and the spicy skewers you've been eating recently, do you want to have some together?"
As soon as the voice fell, Daji rushed out, and the bamboo groves were messed up in the wind.
I almost forgot that there was a fox who loved and could eat spicy food, so I went out to chase it helplessly.
Shen Zhaojun thought her daughter would ignore her, and was about to leave when she saw a white fur ball rushing towards her, diving into her arms and crying coquettishly.
"I almost forgot that our Daji also loves to eat fish." Stroking Daji's soft fur, Shen Zhaojun smiled and said, "You haven't eaten it for a few days, you must be craving for it."
"嘤嘤......"
Daji rubbed her neck.
The door creaked open and You Huang walked out expressionlessly.
Shen Zhaojun was stunned for a moment, then immediately handed Daji to Liushuang, and rushed over to hug his daughter regardless of everything:
"Huang'er, you finally agreed to see your mother."
You Huang didn't like this kind of intimacy and tried to tilt his head back.
Shen Zhaojun pressed her to her chest and said, "Huang'er, mother knows she was wrong and will not make such a mistake again."
Knowing that he was wrong but not changing, You Huang was indifferent and said coldly: "I don't care. I came out to tell you that I have to go out the day after tomorrow and I don't know when I will be back."
"Where are you going now?" Shen Zhaojun asked in shock.
"I don't know. I'll know when I get there." Youhuang was too lazy to explain in detail. No one would understand anyway.
"Is there any danger?" Shen Zhaojun asked worriedly.
“There will definitely be dangers, but there will also be opportunities.”
You Huang tried to answer calmly: "Since you want to cultivate immortality, there are some opportunities that you cannot miss."
"Okay, let's not talk about that anymore, let's go have dinner."
Shen Zhaojun held his daughter's hand. You Huang resisted but couldn't pull it away as it wouldn't last long anyway.
In Hanying Garden, Chu Ce, who was originally drinking alone, was suddenly stunned when he saw his daughter whom he hadn't seen for two days. He said cheerfully, "Come here quickly, my daughter. The kitchen has prepared all your favorite dishes tonight. You must eat more."
Youhuang didn't say anything, but bowed and sat down. Daji immediately sat in her arms and cried to Shen Zhaojun.
"Daji is starving, serve some food." Shen Zhaojun smiled and reached out to touch Daji's nose and said, "Don't worry when you go out, mother will take good care of Daji for you."
"Xue Zun means to take Daji with him..." You Huang hesitated and said, "There may be opportunities for Daji in the place we go this time. There is also a possibility that the demon tribe will also go. If we meet the fox tribe, let it go with the tribe."
"Don't you want to raise it?" Shen Zhaojun asked in surprise.
"If it weren't for the fear of offending the fox clan, who would kill an old fox with more than 800 years of cultivation..."
"How many years of practice?" Chu Ce thought he had misheard and interrupted the woman impatiently.
"More than eight hundred years, but..." You Huang paused and said, "Xue Zun destroyed its cultivation and erased its memory. Now it is just a little fox."
"Obviously, she's an old fox..." Thinking of the scene where Daji often acted like a spoiled child and rolled around in his arms, Shen Zhaojun felt annoyed that she was being taken advantage of: "Why didn't you tell mother earlier? Thinking of how she usually loves to stay in my arms, mother felt a little uncomfortable."
"It's just a little fox now, it doesn't have any bad intentions." You Huang stroked Daji's fur and said, "If you wash off the evil spirit on its body, it can return to the spirit fox clan."
"In any case, don't let it stay with mother in the future." Shen Zhaojun still felt uncomfortable all over, so Chu Ce quickly changed the subject and said, "The current head of Tiancang Peak is also your brother's master. He is also a cultivator and is preparing to participate in the two-year immortal sect election. But why is he leaving now?"
"His cultivation is too low to fly the sword, so of course he has to set off now, but..." You Huang paused and said, "My daughter thinks there is no need for him to make this trip."
"Why?" Shen Zhaojun asked in surprise.
"He is too old, his cultivation is too low, and his spiritual roots are low-grade. Even if he goes there, no immortal sect will accept him as a disciple."
You Huang answered truthfully, thought for a moment and explained, "The Immortal Sect's election is to select disciples with outstanding qualifications. Jun Jiuyang only has two years left to live. Unless he can break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage within two years, even the lowest-ranking Immortal Sect will not want him."
"You can break through to the Xudan stage in more than two months, so Sect Master Jun should be able to do it too." Chu Ce was a little surprised but still asked.
"I told you, he has low-grade spiritual roots." You Huang sighed, "In addition to understanding and hard work, spiritual roots are also very important in cultivating immortals. I don't think his spiritual roots are good enough."
"If there are spiritual herbs and fruits to help, does Sect Leader Jun have a chance..."
“Unless he eats high-level spiritual herbs and fruits as his meals, it is impossible for him to break through to the Establishment Stage within two years.”
Kill off the last glimmer of hope...
You Huang said nonchalantly, "But a low-level cultivator like him can't afford even a single high-level spiritual herb or spiritual fruit."
"How much will it cost?" Shen Zhaojun asked.
"You can't buy it even if you have money. It depends on chance and fate."
You Huang was silent for a moment and said, "High-level spiritual herbs and fruits usually take hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years to mature. Few people can afford to wait. Even if there are, even someone like me won't get a chance, let alone someone in the early stage of Qi Refining. He should just stay at Tiancang Peak."
"Is there no way to make some compromise?" Chu Ce still refused to give up.
"The cultivation resources of the Immortal Sect were also blown by the wind, and one has to risk their lives to fight for them. Why should they waste them on a dying person?"
Thinking of this, You Huang sighed and said, "If it were you, father, would you spend time and money to train a soldier with poor qualifications who would not live for a few days?"
"Of course not."
Even though his daughter didn't make a metaphor, Chu Ce casually glanced at the screen next to him.
You Huang pretended not to notice. Hiding behind the screen, he lowered his head and said to Daji: "Daji, when we enter the secret realm the day after tomorrow, you must give full play to your special abilities as a fox spirit and lead me to the nest of spiritual herbs and fruits."
"嘤嘤......"
Daji called out happily.
