We Agreed to Aim Higher, So Why Are We Cranking Up the Difficulty?

Overwhelmed with grief and pressure, Chu Xinghe leisurely took a sip of tea from the small teapot, then waved to Ouyang Ming, signaling Ouyang Ming to sit down first.

"Junior Brother Ouyang... let me ask you, if you let Man Sheng and the others return to the Artifact Refining Palace with you, can you guarantee that it will take them the shortest possible time to master the Totem Artifact Refining Technique?"

"Three... five... half a year... half a year should be about right!" Ouyang Ming said firmly.

"About how much more is needed?" Chu Xinghe looked at Ouyang Ming with a playful expression!

"More or less... I'm about 70-80% sure. At most, I'll have learned it all by the end of the year!" After much Ouyang Ming gave the most reasonable answer!

"That means more than six months..." Chu Xinghe continued, smiling as he looked at Ouyang Ming.

"Yes... but as you know, Senior Brother Xinghe, it's not that there's anything wrong with my teaching, but rather that the control method of Totem Artifact Refining Technique requires constant practice. While the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits have mastered totems very well, they have a natural disadvantage in weapon forging... so this is already the fastest speed possible!"

Ouyang Ming was also helpless...

"Then how do you know that your Senior Brother Xinghe can't act even faster?"

Ouyang Ming: "???"

Ouyang Ming was completely dumbfounded...

No... Senior Brother Xinghe, do you want to hear what you're saying?

Can it be faster?

No... I'm just saying, Senior Brother Xinghe, if you want others to learn the Totem Artifact Refining Technique, shouldn't we at least learn it ourselves first?

And now look at the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits in the Medicine King Palace, have they learned anything?

How could they learn something when they hadn't learned anything before?

It must be said that Ouyang Ming asked a very professional and excellent question!

Regarding this question, Chu Xinghe said, "Ouyang Ming, don't rush, let me think about how to make it up for you..."

After thinking for a while, Chu Xinghe said, "Forget it... This is a difficult question to answer, so I'm not going to make one up for you. Just believe me!"

Ouyang Ming: "????????????"

Ouyang Ming was completely dumbfounded... Senior Brother Xinghe, you really don't consider me an outsider...

Senior Brother Xinghe, isn't it a bit absurd that you're not even planning to make something up on the spot?

"Ouyang... look, if I make up a reason for you right now, wouldn't I be lying to you!"

Ouyang Ming nodded!

"Ouyang... look, I haven't made up a reason for you, so I haven't lied to you, have I!"

Ouyang Ming nodded again!

"I didn't make up any reasons for you, I didn't lie to you, so what else do you have to doubt!"

Ouyang Ming: "!!"

At this moment, Ouyang Ming said, "Senior Brother Xinghe, wait a minute... no... this question is a bit too philosophical... my brain is a little oxygen-deprived and I can't think straight!"

If Senior Brother Xinghe makes up a reason, then he is lying to me, Ouyang Ming. But since Senior Brother Xinghe clearly stated that he is too lazy to make up a reason, does that mean he is not lying to me?

So, does that mean Senior Brother Xinghe was telling the whole truth?

"Alright, Senior Brother Xinghe has told you everything that needed to be said. Just go back and wait for news of the victory of the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits!"

Chu Xinghe escorted Ouyang Ming out of the room...

As Ouyang Ming walked back to the Artifact Refining Palace, his mind was filled with repeated thoughts: Had Senior Brother Xinghe lied to me or not?

Senior Brother Xinghe didn't make up any reasons, so he didn't lie to me!

But Senior Brother Xinghe didn't tell me a reason... So was what Senior Brother Xinghe said earlier a lie?

So the question is, was I, Ouyang Ming, deceived or not?

Regarding the question of whether Ouyang Ming was deceived, Chu Xinghe said, "Let him think about it... He'll never figure it out, even if he thinks about it until he dies!"

What the heck? Tell me, was what I just said true or false?

I, Chu Xinghe, haven't made up any reasons, so what makes you think I'm lying?

In the time that follows, we don't know if Ouyang Ming will be able to figure out whether Senior Brother Xinghe lied to me or not in the Artifact Refining Palace!

But that doesn't matter, Chu Xinghe is happy...

This is so damn fun...

I'm rocking in my little rocking chair, with the massage mode on, the air conditioning blowing, the teapot bubbling around, and scrolling through gossip... Oh dear... there are so many posts criticizing my misbehavior Chu Xinghe... Haha... I'm even happier after reading them!

This is good, this is good... Look at the title of this post...

"With Chu Xinghe, the number one sect in the world is doomed!" That nickname sounds auspicious!

This is good, this is good...

"I only want to drain the sect's resources, don't treat me like a god!" What a perfect nickname!

"Can Chu Xinghe, an undercover agent, really carry the entire sect?" This perfectly captures my inner thoughts, Chu Xinghe!

It has to be said that with Chu Xinghe's series of actions, including sending the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits Li Man to the Medicine King Palace, the Haotian Mirror has indeed gained countless haters!

Look at this, the Xinghe Haters' Group has even managed to recruit new members these past two days!

Just look at how the number of haters has skyrocketed!

A damaged reputation is a loss too!

Therefore, Chu Xinghe felt that Laozi had made an overly aggressive move!

What the hell? Why are so many people in the Haotian Mirror badmouthing me, Chu Xinghe?!

Because they all really want to obtain the Totem Spirit Treasure...

Every extra day I delay here, the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits will be born a day later, and every day the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits are born a day later, their time will be delayed by a day!

It's like you're about to release your favorite thing this year, and you've already prepared the money, but then I tell you that right now... you have the technology, you have the resources, you have enough manpower, everything is perfect, but hey, I'm just not going to produce it... Wouldn't you be furious?

Unless our Vast Heaven Holy Land produces Totem Spirit Treasures, nobody can give us a single Vast Heaven Holy Land!

Seeing the Misfortune Compass steadily increasing its rotation speed, Chu Xinghe declared, "Come on, Misfortune Compass, kneel down and talk!"

Back when I recruited the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits, you all said I was acting recklessly. Now, the haters are speaking up!

Come out and engage in lane!

This morning, the cheerful Chu Xinghe casually ate twelve roasted camels, five braised donkeys, eight salted beef, fifteen roasted ribs, eight crystal pork knuckles, three cartloads of spicy lamb trotters, forty-nine plates of vegetarian chicken, and half a plate of bok choy!

That's right. Yesterday, I saw someone on the Haotian Mirror say that breakfast should not only be light, but also include plenty of vegetables. Chu Xinghe said that he is someone who listens to advice!

Friends, who among you can eat half a plate of vegetables for breakfast?

So, Chu Xinghe's intake of vegetables is practically a lethal amount!

After a pleasant breakfast, Chu Xinghe had just arrived at the entrance of the Medicine King Palace when he heard a loud bang coming from inside!

Hearing the sound, Chu Xinghe was stunned... Mu Xiaoqi came to refine medicine?

What the heck? You're asking me why I said Mu Xiaoqi came to refine medicine?

As everyone knows, in the Vast Heaven Holy Land, no one but Mu Xiaoqi can actually cause a furnace to explode during alchemy!

But as they arrived at the Medicine King Palace, Chu Xinghe saw Mu Xiaoqi clapping and laughing in the crowd from afar!

Chu Xinghe was amused by this!

Not Mu Xiaoqi?

Could it be that the Mu Bai exploded in the oven?

Good heavens, brothers, hurry up and follow! Our chance to laugh at Mu Bai has arrived!

But just as Chu Xinghe approached, he saw a Big Rhinoceros and Mu Bai, whose face was even blacker than the Big Rhinoceros's, emerge from the alchemy room!

The Big Rhinoceros is Man Sheng. Man Sheng's body is blackened by the explosion of the furnace. Mu Bai, on the other hand, has no furnace ash on him. Mu Bai is pure Qi!

"Junior Brother Man Sheng... you... you... you're just as useless as Mu Xiaoqi!"

"Senior Brother Mu Bai, you're praising me a bit too much..." Man Sheng said in Man Sheng deep voice, looking at Mu Bai beside him.

After saying that, Mu Bai turned blue with anger!

But thinking about it carefully, Man Sheng wasn't wrong...

Although Mu Xiaoqi is bullied every day, you should know that it's not because Mu Xiaoqi is bad, it's because Mu Bai and his bunch of bastards don't treat people like human beings at all!

If you let Mu Xiaoqi out, wherever he goes, people will have to call him Master Mu!

It was a sincere effort. Although Mu Xiaoqi n't even have a rank, it wasn't because he lacked ability that he didn't have a rank. Rather, it was because all the disciples of the Muyue Kingdom in the Vast Heaven Holy Land had reached a point where ranks could no longer be a constraint!

So if you say someone is as bad as Mu Xiaoqi (a famous Chinese singer known for her terrible skills), it's like me calling you a poor bastard, saying you're as poor as someone ranked fifth on the rich list...

"I told you that identifying the ingredients is the first step in alchemy, but you insisted on trying other things. Now look what happened, the furnace exploded!" Mu Bai's face turned ashen with anger!

As Mu Bai was speaking, he happened to see Senior Brother Xinghe watching the commotion over there, and Mu Bai immediately apologized!

"Senior Brother Xinghe, the responsibility for the furnace explosion lies entirely with me. It was because I didn't keep a close eye on Junior Brother Man Sheng Mansheng that the furnace exploded. If Senior Brother Xinghe wants to punish someone, please punish me."

How familiar this scene is... Seeing Mu Bai come out to apologize, Chu Xinghe seemed to recall the first time he caused the furnace to explode in the Medicine King Palace. Back then, Senior Brother Feng Fei also came out to apologize to the Grand Elder in the same way!

This is what inheritance is all about!

When problems arise, the first thing fellow apprentices do is not to shirk responsibility, but to take the initiative to assume it!

"Mu Bai, you seem to have forgotten, didn't you think that I, Senior Brother Xinghe, also caused the furnace to explode in this room back then..." Chu Xinghe said calmly.

Upon hearing Senior Brother Xinghe's words, many disciples of the Medicine King Palace around them burst into laughter!

"Mu Bai... all success begins with failure, so failure can sometimes be more important than success. How do you know that a furnace explosion isn't an opportunity to open another path to success? Therefore, issue my order: from today onwards, all disciples of the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits Sect no longer need to learn how to identify herbs; go directly to the alchemy furnace!"

The audience. "???"

At this moment, all the disciples of the Medicine King Palace were stunned...

No... Senior Brother Xinghe, your opening just now sounded like you were about to reach a great height...

But you haven't reached any new heights, so why are you suddenly increasing the intensity?
