Misfortune Strikes Back

Upon returning from the Wan Lineage, Wan Lin immediately paid his respects to Senior Brother Xinghe.

Thanks to Senior Brother Xinghe's intervention, the Wan Lineage was spared. My mother, in particular, has secured her position within the Lineage. Previously, there were a few troublemakers in the family who would occasionally express their discontent.

But now... the entire Wan Lineage is of one mind, fully supporting Li Yunxian and preparing to assist Wan Lin in the Future.

However, Chu Xinghe didn't have much time to chat with his junior sister Wan Lin these past two days, because the aftereffects of the Misfortune Compass began to appear.

First, the day before yesterday, I went to visit Ouyang Ming, and Ouyang Ming set off a fire on the spot to add to the merriment.

However, this time the furnace explosion was different from usual. The explosion of the furnace was much more violent than before, and Ouyang Ming was blown to pieces. It took Chu Xinghe a few pills to stabilize Ouyang Ming's injuries.

Originally, I didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, Ouyang Ming had blew up so many things in the oven, it's normal for him to cause a dangerous explosion once in a while, right?

However, yesterday, when he went to the Medicine King Palace, Mu Bai and a group of the Medicine King Palace disciples asked him for guidance. Chu Xinghe swore on his own behalf that his Senior Brother Xinghe had been in a great mood these past two days, so he really didn't give any wrong guidance, and everything he gave was on the right path.

However, since his instructions were correct, Mu Bai and a group of disciples caused the furnace to explode on the spot. Not only did the furnace explode, but several unlucky ones almost lost their lives.

Fortunately, Chu Xinghe was there and, with enough medicine, managed to save him.

This wasn't over yet... Chu Xinghe had just come out of the Medicine King Palace with a heavy heart when he ran into Senior Brother Feng Fei. Senior Brother Feng Fei looked very unhappy. He initially thought that Senior Brother Feng Fei had quarreled with his sister-in-law?

But upon inquiring, Chu Xinghe was shocked once again. It turned out that a Haotian Caravan had been attacked by demonic beasts and suffered heavy losses...

This caravan had never encountered any monsters on its route before, so why did they suddenly appear this time?

Feng Fei also found it hard to believe.

After that, all sorts of strange things happened within the sect.

Looking at the inverted Misfortune Compass, Chu Xinghe made a bold guess.

The Misfortune Compass has reversed; this is misfortune turning against you!

It was precisely because of the backlash from misfortune that the entire sect was affected.

Although I said I would make the sect make a fortune when I went to select the rare treasure last time, deep down I was just trying it out and actually wanted to lose money.

Therefore, the Misfortune Compass did not reverse that time.

But this time was different; he genuinely wanted to win and for his sect to defeat the Zhou Medical Hall.

Now that I've succeeded, the Misfortune Compass has immediately activated its backlash mode.

Losing one's cultivation level is a minor matter; the real terror lies in the successive misfortunes that befall one another.

Therefore, Chu Xinghe has been analyzing the situation carefully these past two days. The misfortune indicated by the Misfortune Compass forbids him from doing anything to help the sect.

As long as one has the heart to help the sect and succeeds, the Misfortune Compass will reverse and terrible misfortune will descend.

Although he had helped the sect every time before, theoretically speaking, it wasn't because of himself, but because his luck was too damn volatile.

This is like a battle between two great gods, misfortune and fortune. No matter what the final outcome is, it won't affect me.

However, if one subconsciously violates the rules of misfortune, then the Misfortune Compass will unleash a terrifying wave of calamity.

In the following days, Chu Xinghe meticulously planned various ways to inflict minor losses on the sect, and as it turned out, his guesses were correct.

Only after causing a minor loss to the sect did the reversal of the Misfortune Compass finally stop.

And all sorts of strange things started to return to normal after the Misfortune Compass stopped.

Seeing the finally quiet Misfortune Compass, Chu Xinghe knew that he must never again do anything that would allow the sect to profit immensely. If he were to cause such a situation, the Misfortune Compass would unleash a backlash of misfortune, resulting in heavy casualties for the sect.

Chu Xinghe found the death of any member of a sect unacceptable, but if it was due to misfortune, it was even more unacceptable!

From this day forward... I must be a pure person, a person who protects my fellow disciples, and a person who causes the sect to suffer heavy losses. Please rest assured, everyone in the sect, I, Chu Xinghe, will fight against this calamity for the entire sect with my own strength!

As long as I deliberately cause losses to the sect, there will be no casualties in the sect. Therefore, the more the sect loses, the more it gains!

I, Chu Xinghe, have an unshirkable duty to prevent losses to the sect!

As long as the sect suffers a significant loss, Senior Brother Xinghe will carry you to new heights!

As for the matter of the sect making a fortune, please Misfortune Compass assured, I, Chu Xinghe, will not do anything about it.

At the Haotian Palace, Yan Shoujing severed all contact with Wu Xingyun.

Wu Xingyun, you dignified Demonic Emperor, you insulted my mother for over ten minutes without a word, even using more than a hundred different verbs. Don't you have any shame?

Yan Shoujing only wants to destroy the sect; I have a heart full of unwavering loyalty!

Although our Demonic Sect has suffered heavy losses, look at how the Vast Heaven Sect has also suffered considerable losses recently, with losses in caravans and problems with disciples... It's all fate.

However, Yan Shoujing was quite satisfied with Wu Xingyun's final words.

The mighty Demonic Emperor is begging himself not to intervene again... preferably not even to offer advice, as the Demonic Sect truly cannot withstand the pressure.

Let's give those scumbags from the Demonic Sect a chance to catch their breath...

Yan Shoujing agreed to Wu Xingyun's request, saying, "Please rest assured, Wu Xingyun, I will plan carefully and strike hard against the Vast Heaven Sect. I swear I will not Yan Shoujing until a large number of the Vast Heaven Sect members have died!"

In the following days, Chu Xinghe visited Ouyang Ming. When he saw Ouyang Ming's left elbow and right vegetarian chicken, Chu Xinghe knew that Ouyang Ming had almost recovered.

Didn't you see when Ouyang Ming was injured a few days ago? He could only eat seven or eight bowls of cold noodles in one sitting, and he lost a lot of weight...?

He told Ouyang Ling to take good care of her brother and to go to the Everlasting Spring Palace less often... What the hell is the meaning of you constantly going to the Everlasting Spring Palace lately asking if they have any colorless and odorless potent drugs, preferably the kind that makes you strip naked on the spot?

You're a young woman, can't you even ask for some normal medicine?

Look, your Senior Sister Wan Lin has been much more normal lately, she's even started pursuing new junior sisters. Can't you learn something from Senior Sister Wan Lin?

Things have stabilized at the Medicine King Palace as well. Mu Bai and the others have fully recovered from their injuries, which has greatly reduced Chu Xinghe's guilt.

Just as he was about to return to the Technique Repository Tower to continue slacking off, he was stopped by the Grand Elder.

"Elder, I still have several cultivation techniques waiting to be studied, so I won't stay any longer. I'll take my leave now..."

Chu Xinghe was pulled back by the First Elder before he could even leave the house.

"Xinghe, have you heard the news outside?"

"I heard that Zhou Medical Hall is distributing luggage..."

"That's not it..."

"Ah... I heard the biggest shareholder behind this is the Demonic Sect? There's a rumor that Wu Xingyun vomited a full half-pound of blood? No wonder he's the Demonic Emperor, he vomits more blood than the average person..."

"No, it's not that! It's about the Formless Heart Sutra."

"The Formless Heart Sutra?" Chu Xinghe looked blank. This... I really don't know. I've been studying the Misfortune Compass these past few days.

Soon, Chu Xinghe learned about the Formless Heart Sutra from the Grand Elder.

The Formless Heart Sutra is an ancient secret technique. It first appeared a thousand years ago, and its Formless Heart Sutra caused a great upheaval and bloodshed.

There's no way around it, it's just that the Formless Heart Sutra is too powerful. The Formless Heart Sutra is not a simple cultivation method; in other words, it belongs to the category of auxiliary cultivation methods.

This auxiliary technique can enhance all abilities of anyone who practices it by 20%.

In other words, this is basically a super passive ability that increases all abilities by 20%!

This thing is absolutely a God Level cultivation technique. I heard that back then, the whole world was fighting bloody Formless Heart Sutra.

What's even more baffling is that after everyone finished the fight, they discovered that the Formless Heart Sutra was nowhere to be found. Its disappearance left everyone who was vying for it completely bewildered.

For the next thousand years, countless forces continued to search for the Formless Heart Sutra. Recently, the Formless Heart Sutra has reappeared in the world, surprisingly at the Golden Crow Auction House in the world.

The Golden Crow Auction House held a grand event for the Formless Heart Sutra), which can be said to have alarmed various forces.

"The auction is in half a month. Get ready and come with me. Our Vast Heaven Sect is determined to Formless Heart Sutra this time!"

The Grand Elder's face was resolute.

After listening to the Grand Elder's explanation, Chu Xinghe's eyes lit up!

Thanks to the Elder for the help!

These past few days, due to the backlash of bad luck, I've been risking my life to cause losses to the sect, but I'm just a weakling... How much damage did I actually cause to the sect?

I was just worried about not finding an opportunity to make the sect suffer a huge loss, but Elder, you are like a second parent to me.

An auction, huh? Determined to win, right?

Chu Xinghe had no doubt about the Grand Elder's determination to win. With the resources and wealth of my Vast Heaven Sect, how could we not defeat you?

But taking it down is one thing, but how to take it down is another...

Although I, Chu Xinghe, don't understand auctions, isn't the principle that the highest bidder wins?

When it comes to demanding high prices, I can definitely handle it perfectly for you.

If I don't shout out a price that will leave the whole world dumbfounded, then my Vast Heaven Sect will be considered stingy.

The sect thinks they can acquire the Formless Heart Sutra a normal price? No way!

You all lie down and wait, I'll take care of the bidding, I guarantee I'll bid so hard the Golden Crow Auction House will be terrified.

Elder, you know me. These past few days, I've done everything in my power to prevent the sect from suffering losses and to avoid the backlash of misfortune.

But compared to you, Elder, I am still far behind.

Is there any better way to cause a sect to suffer huge losses than buying things at exorbitant prices?

No matter how high the price others bid, I Chu Xinghe, will definitely bid higher than you all!

It's not that I look down on you all, but when it comes to demanding exorbitant prices, I can say with a glance that you are all trash!

I'm sure I'll make up for the lost cultivation level this time...

What do-over misfortune? If this Misfortune Compass doesn't make me spin right and start sparking, I'll consider myself a loser!

The auction was a mindless bidding war; how could they possibly lose this round?!
