Mixed Fruit-Flavored Drink

The auction of the Formless Heart Sutra had put Chu Xinghe in a great mood. If he hadn't been forced by the Grand Elder to refine two hundred batches of medicine, Chu Xinghe believed he would have been even happier.

"Congratulations on your fortune, Golden Crow Auction House... Congratulations on your splendid performance, Golden Crow Auction House..."

Accompanied by cheerful music, Chu Xinghe planned to go back to his room to sleep, but he ran into Senior Brother Feng Fei halfway there.

Sure enough, Senior Brother Feng Fei's complexion has improved a lot these past two days; he looks like he's in love again.

"Junior Brother Xinghe is in such a good mood? It seems he's going to the Golden Crow Auction House with the Grand Elder?"

"Don't worry, senior brother, I will definitely bring this Formless Heart Sutra back to you!" Chu Xinghe said resolutely.

"Haha... Junior brother, don't let your guard down. Everyone knows that our Vast Heaven Sect is wealthy and powerful; they might join forces to attack us."

"That's wonderful... cough cough... you're overestimating yourself!"

Chu Xinghe looked delighted. "What the heck?"

Should all parties join forces to take action?

Senior Brother Feng Fei, why have you been saying such auspicious things lately?

Isn't this something I've always dreamed of—all parties uniting together?

If they all remain silent, how the hell am I supposed to quote a high price?

If all the sects in the world were to unite, I would kneel down and thank you all for your generosity.

If my Vast Heaven Sect were to fight against the entire world single-handedly, wouldn't it be completely drained of resources on the spot? At that point, the sect would go bankrupt and disband on the spot, and I, Chu Xinghe, would instantly become a Martial God.

When that time comes, I, Martial God Chu Xinghe, will lead everyone to rebuild the Vast Heaven Sect and take off immediately.

"Junior Brother Xinghe, you... haha..." Feng Fei also smiled.

"Senior Brother Feng, you seem to be in a good mood lately? What's up? Is your wife coming to visit?"

Upon hearing the words "sister-in-law," Feng Fei blushed and said, "Junior brother, you don't know this, but I'm different from you. I'm free and independent. The Grand Elder and the Wuj iang Holy Mother have discussed it and are going to move the wedding date forward to this year. Soon I won't be alone anymore..."

Chu Xinghe: "???"

Senior Brother Feng Fei, just a second ago I was saying you could talk now, but you're not only not a person anymore... you're not even a person anymore!

What? Do you have some unique skills when it comes to tormenting single people, senior?

"Well, the Grand Elder asked me to prepare for the wedding. I didn't really care; I was fine with whatever. But Jiuli is, after all, the Holy Maiden of Wuj iang. If the wedding is too shabby, it might bring shame to the sect..."

Feng Fei continued talking to himself.

Upon hearing this, Chu Xinghe's fatigue from refining medicine vanished completely.

What is this? Wedding planning?

Don't let my single status fool you; I know a thing or two about weddings.

Isn't getting married a huge expense? For most families, getting married is incredibly costly.

My Senior Brother Feng Fei is marrying the Holy Maiden of the Wuj iang Clan! If this wedding isn't the most spectacular in the history of the Blazing Sun Continent, how can we do justice to my senior brother? How can we be worthy of the Holy Maiden of the Wuj iang Clan's status?

Sure enough, after the bad luck ended, good things came one after another.

Thank you Senior Brother Feng Fei, for sending me the wedding invitation! Don't worry about the wedding, I'll personally plan it for you.

Our wedding was all about being expensive!

We use whatever is expensive, and we do whatever is grand in scale!

Our goal is to raise the standard of weddings across the entire Blazing Sun Continent by a whole new level after this wedding!

As for the sect's expenses? Senior Brother Feng Fei, you don't need to worry at all. We'll make a big scene when we marry the Holy Maiden of Wuj iang, so what?

Is it that the Holy Maiden of Wuj iang isn't beautiful, or that her status isn't high enough?

Besides, since they've already included the Gu God Inheritance in their dowry, isn't it perfectly reasonable for us to be generous and ask them if it's reasonable?

"Senior Brother Feng Fei, who plans their own wedding? Don't worry, just lie down and I'll take you flying!"

"Junior Brother Xinghe... you've never even touched a girl's hand, do you have any experience in this area?"

Chu Xinghe: "???"

Senior Brother Feng Fei, I've given you my whole heart, and you stab me in the back without warning? What do you mean by saying I've never even touched a girl's hand?

You might as well just call me a single dog.

However, since it's because of your wedding, I won't hold it against you, senior brother. Although I don't know much about weddings, I do know how to spend money!

With enough money, anything can be done!

If you have enough money, you can have the Demonic Emperor Wu Xingyun be your wedding emcee and Tantai Jing be your bridesmaid—no problem!

After agreeing with his Senior Brother Feng Fei that he must personally handle the wedding planning, Chu Xinghe returned to his room with a joyful expression.

Upon arriving in the room, Chu Xinghe, feeling thirsty, picked up a glass of water from the table...

Hey... who helped pour this water? I don't think it was there when I left...

Never mind... Chu Xinghe gulped down a glass of water... and before he even lay down on the bed, he felt hot all over.

Did I get too excited and stressed today?

Chu Xinghe quickly took out two high-quality heat-clearing and detoxifying pills and swallowed them. Soon, the feverish feeling completely disappeared, and Chu Xinghe lay down and fell asleep peacefully.

Outside the door... Ouyang Ling looked grief-stricken.

"Pah... The senior sister from the Everlasting Spring Palace is completely unreliable! She even said it would work immediately after taking it? Is that all?"

Ouyang Ling cursed all the way back to the Artifact Refining Palace. Ouyang Ming listened to his sister's cursing and a strange smile appeared on his lips.

Little sister... I know exactly what you're thinking.

Hmph! You are not worthy of Senior Brother Xinghe at all.

You think I had no idea what you were up to these past few days at the Everlasting Spring Palace while you were in the hospital?

You underestimate your brother... I also went to the Everlasting Spring Palace at night, and even asked my senior brother for the antidote... You just finished administering the drug, and I already put the antidote in the water!

So it's not that the medicine is bad, it's that you're bad!

You're still a long way from competing with me!

You still want to cause trouble for Senior Brother Xinghe? With me here, you won't be able to cause any trouble at all!

The days passed by peacefully yet eerily.

The peace is because the recent bad luck has finally stopped... The strangeness is because the water is getting increasingly murky every night—what does that mean?

Why would there be such a strange medicine in my water? And even stranger, why is there an antidote mixed in with it?

At first, Chu Xinghe suspected that someone had poisoned him, but had anyone ever seen someone put the antidote in the poison along with the poison?

And isn't it a bit too outrageous to think you could poison a Medicine Saint Inheritance?

Although I, Chu Xinghe, have publicly stated that I dislike alchemy, it doesn't mean I'm bad at it.

But... I don't know what kind of medicine and antidote are mixed together, and it has a strange mixed fruit flavor... Now I feel uncomfortable if I don't drink it for a day...

Is this a new flavored drink developed by the Everlasting Spring Palace?

And what's with Ouyang Ling always looking so dejected and running to the Everlasting Spring Palace lately?

Ouyang Ling ran away because she was being immature, but what does it mean that Ouyang Ming, you ran away too?

Forget about that for now; the day to set off has arrived.

But there are still several days until the auction, why is the Grand Elder setting off so early?

Soon, Chu Xinghe understood why... because the teleportation array was personally set up by the Grand Elder.

Elder He and several other elders from various sects who were passionate about teleportation arrays came to observe the teleportation array set up by the Grand Elder.

Regarding the Grand Elder's teleportation array, Elder He immediately stated that the Grand Elder's teleportation array had reached the point of simplifying complexity, then simplifying complexity again, and then simplifying complexity again. He himself was on the second level, while the Grand Elder had no idea which level he was on, because Elder He openly admitted that he truly couldn't understand the Grand Elder's teleportation array at all.

The other elders nodded in agreement; the First Elder was indeed unfathomable.

Chu Xinghe n't know if the Grand Elder was unfathomable; all he knew was that when the light from the teleportation array fell, what the hell was this dense forest all around...?

Aren't we going to Golden Crow City? Isn't Golden Crow City a plain?

Why do primeval forests exist?

Are those guys dancing around with spears, making "ooh ooh ooh" noises, savages?

Elder... are you sure we're using a teleportation array and not time travel?

"Elder... are you planning to show me the way of life in a primitive tribe?"

The Grand Elder nodded calmly, saying, "Xinghe, the more you see and experience, the better you can improve yourself..."

Needless to say, the process of shattering the void began...

When Chu Xinghe arrived in Golden Crow City, it was already late at night. It had been a very fulfilling day. Chu Xinghe not only visited a primitive tribe, but also accidentally saw an ancient glacier... and even took a bath!

You ask why I took a bath... Hehe... Because after the Grand Elder got lost in the void, he used a teleportation array again, and the destination turned out to be the glacier beneath the iceberg.

If it weren't for the Grand Elder following him, Chu Xinghe suspected he would definitely be dead inside...

The Grand Elder was explaining to himself, "Xinghe, people must face various crises in order to gain more insights between life and death."

Chu Xinghe said he understood, and that he would never use the Grand Elder's teleportation array unless the Grand Elder accompanied him.

Also, when I get back, I'm going to find the Vice Sect Master to learn teleportation arrays... This time I'm sincerely going to learn teleportation arrays; I can't possibly use the Grand Elder's teleportation array even once...

If I have to sit here a few more times, I'll just die. But what if my body can't even be found after I die? The Grand Elder's teleportation array is perfect for killing people without them even knowing it, and it also has the function of destroying evidence!

When Chu Xinghe arrived in Golden Crow City, it was already late at night, but the stewards were still waiting.

After everyone respectfully welcomed the Grand Elder, they were also given the best room to rest in.

Lying in bed, Chu Xinghe sneezed and exclaimed, "The ancient glaciers are truly terrifying..."

As Chu Xinghe reached for some fruit-flavored water, he realized he wasn't in his room... He wondered if it was because the fruit-flavored water had a calming effect, Chu Xinghe he found himself having a little insomnia if he didn't drink it for a day.

Nothing happened that night. Early the next morning, Chu Xinghe had breakfast with the Grand Elder and a group of stewards from Haotian Courtyard.

After breakfast, the stewards presented the Grand Elder and Chu Xinghe with a summary of the auction.

Upon seeing the various explanations in the booklet, the Grand Elder's expression grew slightly grave.

Chu Xinghe glanced at the situation report in the booklet, suppressing his inner joy!

Senior Brother Feng Fei was right; all sides have indeed united!

They knew they had no chance of defeating the Vast Heaven Sect alone, so they joined forces... This time, all the major forces were fighting side by side. With so many allies competing fiercely, how could they possibly lose!
