After collecting access tokens for the Demon clan, Chen Chen summoned Zhang Ji as he began to plan the harvesting of opportunities.
Opportunities with the highest priority certainly have a time limit. Chen Chen was not in a hurry to harvest opportunities like digging mines and such. As long as he knew the approximate location, he could dig as well.
Just like that, Chen Chen and Zhang Ji had spent half a day busy in the Tianyun Mountains while the sky gradually became darker.
However, none of them felt tired at all due to the fact that they had harvested many incredible items in that period of time, all of which were at least worth 100,000 Spirit Stones!
Unfortunately, the silly Zhang Ji knew nothing about the value of the item found. All he did was to give Chen Chen all the items he had harvested, like a handyman working thoughtlessly without asking for a reward. Watching him, Chen Chen started to get dizzy.
‘That's how legendary people are morally straight and intelligent, right ..’
“Brother, rest, no need to rush now.”
Chen Chen could not help but intervene when he saw how energetic Zhang Ji was.
“Uh... Brother, didn't you previously say that this is very urgent?” Zhang Ji said with a puzzled expression. Previously, Chen Chen had told him that this was an urgent matter.
“There are some items I don't care about. The most important thing about life is being friendly and assertive. You will never be able to complete the gathering of heavenly treasures. “
Chen Chen said in a relaxed tone as he lay on a patch of grass.
A few seconds later, he seemed to have thought of something as he suddenly laughed.
“Sister, what are you laughing at?” Zhang Ji was confused.
“Is this the Peak of Heavenly Calm? I'm a little thirsty, can you get me some water from the waterfall? ” Chen Chen asked in an ambiguous tone with a faint smile on his face.
Zhang Ji did not think too much of Chen Chen's question as he started rushing towards the Heavenly Tranquil Peak waterfall with a bottle of water.
With an ambiguous look in his eyes, Chen Chen looked at Zhang Ji's back as he left. According to the system, one could see a group of outer clan disciples bathing in the Heavenly Quiet Peak waterfall at this moment.
Zhang Ji was too stupid and needed some interesting experience.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen could not help but laugh.
However, a moment later, he could not laugh anymore as he recalled the other details the system mentioned.
Zhao Xiaoya would start to slip into obsession tonight and if Chen Chen went to save her, she would have a better impression of him. This puts him in a dilemma.
What if she falls in love with him after he leaves to save her?
She probably won't fall in love with him or be responsible for him in the future.
“Ah, what a hassle to be amazing. If I wasn't so exceptional and self-disciplined, I wouldn't be involved in so many problems. I am so helpless! ”
Chen Chen sighed softly as he decided to go save her. After all, he had given her red ginseng.
Moreover, he couldn't possibly leave her in distress just because he was afraid that she would fall in love.
While Chen Chen was thinking of troublesome things, Zhang Ji returned with a bottle of water. However, his eyes were already very swollen.
When Chen Chen saw this, he suddenly sat down and asked, “What's wrong? Were you beaten for peeping at others while they were bathing? “
Zhang Ji replied with a sad expression, “Brother, how do you know ..”
“You have cultivation status. How can you be found? ” Chen Chen asked in confusion.
He sent Zhang Ji to the waterfall because he wanted to help her and give her a gift, not to hurt her.
Hearing this, Zhang Ji rubbed his eyes with a dejected look.
“I caught a glimpse .. and I don't think it's good for that Senior Brother to take a shower outside because someone else might be peeping, so I reminded him. But he hit me hard. “
Hearing this, Chen Chen was speechless. After a long time, he took a deep breath.
Although he was only 16 years old physically, his mental age was almost 40 years old. On the other hand, Zhang Ji was really only 18 years old inside out, and had never interacted with a girl before.
“My brother, I envy you so much. You have absolutely no risk of being , unlike me. Ah, I will go on a trip, I will be right back. ”
Chen Chen sighed, turned around, and started walking towards the inner gate of the Heavenly Sword Peak.
Seeing Chen Chen Chen's footsteps getting heavier, Zhang Ji couldn't help but ask, “Brother, do you want me to help you?”
“No, some things cannot be avoided if you are too outstanding. I will bear the responsibility of being slandered. I just want to have a clear conscience. “
Chen Chen Chen's voice echoed in the pitch-black night, his tone full of sadness.
…
Meanwhile, in the courtyard above Heavenly Sword Peak, Zhao Xiaoya knelt down and cultivated. As a senior inner clan disciple, he already possessed the strength of an elder, and would now step into the middle stage of foundation construction.
However, there was something wrong with his state of mind just as he was about to break through.
The matter finally surfaced due to his obsession with the Tianyun Heavenly Lightning Technique.
The middle stage of foundation construction was a hurdle he had to cross. Once he entered the middle stage of foundation construction, he would no longer be able to practice the Tianyun Heavenly Lightning Technique unless he put away his cultivation status.
His obsession made his desire to break through waver, and soon, the tenderness in the diaphragm started to become chaotic.
Ethereality was the source of Heaven and Earth's power, and once it went berserk, it would be extremely destructive. By the time Zhao Xiaoya realized that she had gone off track, it was already too late because ethereality was already rampaging through her entire body, destroying her eight meridians.
Psh!
Zhao Xiaoya spurted a huge mouthful of blood and her face suddenly turned pale while her body became weak.
However, the gentleness in his body showed no signs of slowing down in the slightest as the diaphragm neared complete collapse.
If his diaphragm was destroyed, he would instantly die. Thinking of this consequence, endless panic flashed in Zhao Xiaoya's eyes as she hurriedly struggled to pull out the communication token from her chest, in an attempt to tell her grandfather, Elder Xing Fa.
However, when slipping into obsession and going off track, he was unable to mobilize his ethereality or even use the mark of communication.
Upon realizing the problem, a trace of despair appeared within Zhao Xiaoya.
Advancing from the early stage to the middle stage of foundation construction was not difficult, so he did not feel disturbed at all. He did not ask anyone to watch him because he never believed that he would go off track at such a simple time…
“Dad, Mother, I may not be able to avenge you..”.
Zhao Xiaoya muttered in her heart while she could not stop crying.
He could not even imagine the kind of grief his grandfather would feel when he found his body the next morning.
“No... I want to live.”
Thinking of his grandfather, Zhao Xiaoya immediately felt a strong desire to survive. Struggling, he fell to the ground before crawling towards the door with great difficulty.
He thought that as long as he crawled to the door and shouted, someone might hear him.
At this point, he no longer wished to maintain his cultivation status and only hoped to survive so that his grandfather would not become miserable.
However, he lacked strength because he was severely injured. Even after crawling towards the door, he still did not have the strength to open the door.
Looking at the door that was right in front of him, Zhao Xiaoya finally sank into despair and closed his eyes, waiting for his death without hope. He even tried to adjust his facial expression, to make it look ‘seaman’ as possible.
Then, his grandfather's suffering would be reduced. That's the only thing he can do now.
However, just as he forced a smile on his face, the door suddenly opened.
Hearing this voice, Zhao Xiaoya only thought that he was getting hallucinations as he was about to die. After all, no one dared to enter his place at will at this kind of hour.
“You're seriously injured but you're still smiling. I'm giving you a hat! “
At this moment, a familiar voice entered his ears, making him feel like it was already a lifetime.
‘Dia? How is it possible?’
“You are not dead yet, why are you pretending to die peacefully? But you do look like that. ”
Hearing this voice again, Zhao Xiaoya suddenly opened his eyes, only to see a familiar white-clothed figure crouching beside him with a mocking expression.
The white-clothed youth somehow placed his hand on the diaphragm and the powerful suction force continuously absorbed the rampant ethereality within it.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Xiaoya had mixed feelings, and was speechless for a while.
At this moment, the insulting smile of the white-clothed teenager vanished and was replaced by an expression of indifference.
Seeing the change in expression on the teenager's face, Zhao Xiaoya started to be wary.
“Open your mouth!”
The white-clothed teenager ordered in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Zhao Xiaoya opened her mouth slightly, and a few seconds later, streams of cold air entered her mouth. Immediately after, an endless vitality burst forth. The domineering aura began to be restored.
