Do you accept?

"As you wish, kill..."

Di Xin responded casually with a relaxed expression, as if they were discussing the death of a cat or dog, not a human life.

Wen Zhong: "..."

He had already prepared his next course of action.

If the Great King asked him why he wanted to kill You Hun, he would list You Hun's various crimes one by one, presenting detailed facts to explain why the treacherous official absolutely had to be killed.

But the Great King's reaction... wasn't it too hasty?

Wen Zhong felt like he had put all his strength into a punch, only to hit the air.

He couldn't find a point to exert force.

"Great King, aren't you going to ask me why I want to kill him?"

For some reason, Wen Zhong actually asked this question.

Di Xin looked at Wen Zhong, his eyes clear, and said in a very innocent tone, "Grand Tutor, since this King has promised you, I will agree to anything you ask. You have been teaching this King to cultivate so diligently, how can this King go back on his word?"

Wen Zhong almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

This matter was developing according to his ideal scenario, but couldn't the Great King stop being so reckless with human lives?

"Great King, your humble servant also wants to kill You Hun, and the main reason is..."

Di Xin didn't ask him; instead, he began to explain on his own.

Unexpectedly, Di Xin waved his hand and said, "Grand Tutor, don't say any more. It's settled."

Wen Zhong: "...Alright, the Great King is wise!"

He bowed, paid his respects to Di Xin, and withdrew from the Ancestral Temple.

"Alas... the Great King has become so foolish!"

Outside the Ancestral Temple, Wen Zhong sighed deeply. He even suspected that if he had asked the Great King to destroy some vassal state, the King might have agreed without a second thought.

This was definitely not a good thing.

"Grand Tutor..."

Just then, Di Xin walked out of the Ancestral Temple. "You came so late, you must have something important to discuss, right?"

"Oh... right..."

Only then did Wen Zhong remember that he did have something to discuss. He moved his hand, and a jade bottle and a jade jar appeared in his hand.

"Great King, this is a Spirit Pill, it can help you cultivate Origin Power."

He first handed the jade bottle to Di Xin.

"Spirit Pill? Grand Tutor, where did you get this Spirit Pill?"

Di Xin was stunned. He truly hadn't expected Wen Zhong to personally bring him a Spirit Pill, and such a precious item at that. He had managed to obtain it in such a short time.

Wen Zhong said, "Great King, please take it with confidence. As for where it came from, the Great King need not ask."

"Good, this is something this King specifically promised you, so whatever you say goes." Di Xin once again went along with the flow, no longer pressing for details.

Wen Zhong: "..."

He felt a sense of daze. The Great King had lost his subjective will.

"Great King, your humble servant wishes to ask that you question everything. Don't just do what others say; have your own opinions and thoughts."

Di Xin tilted his head and looked at Wen Zhong. "Why?"

Wen Zhong almost choked on his saliva. He felt completely defeated by the Great King.

"Great King, the tea leaves in that jade jar, besides having a good taste, are also beneficial for the body and cultivation. Also, killing You Hun cannot be done with a single word; you must make the world accept it, and there's no need to rush."

After speaking, he glanced at Di Xin and then floated away.

Only after Wen Zhong's figure completely disappeared into the night did Di Xin reveal a slight smile and return to his room.

Placing the jade jar containing the spirit tea aside, Di Xin directly opened the small jade bottle and poured out a white pill.

He examined it carefully in his hand. The surface of this Spirit Pill was relatively smooth, but it wasn't as crystal clear as the Spirit Pills rewarded by the System. The spiritual energy it emitted was also far less potent than that of the System's pills.

Furthermore, in terms of fragrance, it didn't have that intoxicating effect that made one feel refreshed and at ease, like the System's pills.

The current Di Xin was no longer a complete novice who knew nothing about cultivation. Through sensing Origin Power during this period and having diligently studied the Immortal Yuan Records, he had become a novice who knew some cultivation knowledge.

He could immediately compare the merits and demerits of the two Spirit Pills.

[Option One: Take this Spirit Pill. Mission Reward: Immortal Beast Azure Ox.]

[Option Two: Do not take this Spirit Pill. Mission Reward: A pair of high-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasures, the Wind Fire Wheels.]

Just as Di Xin was examining the Spirit Pill, two options suddenly appeared before his eyes again.

When he saw text appearing, Di Xin's heart stirred. As expected, doing something was necessary to get rewards.

However, upon seeing the second option, Di Xin couldn't help but curse inwardly.

As for the first option, he would naturally never choose it. Whether it was a green ox, a white ox, or a black ox, they had nothing to do with him.

But for the second item, System, aren't you being a bit too much of a scammer?

Everyone knows about the Wind Fire Wheels, right?

Back in the era before he transmigrated, any child who could open their eyes knew what those Wind Fire Wheels were.

They belonged to Nezha!

His Master, True Person Taiyi, gave them to him.

They might still be with True Person Taiyi now, not yet given away.

But the System had already stolen a Universe Ring from True Person Taiyi before, and now it was giving the Wind Fire Wheels as a quest reward.

This was the first time he'd encountered such a situation.

Before, when it stole from Zhao Gongming, Lady Yunxiao, and Lady Bixiao, even though those three were fellow disciples, the System had been somewhat reasonable, only stealing once from each person.

Now, it wanted to steal from True Person Taiyi twice.

Things probably wouldn't be so fun anymore. How could you keep shearing the same sheep?

This pill had only two outcomes: take it or don't take it.

What if he took it?

The Azure Ox of Laozi, the leader of the Human Sect, would enter his System space, and then Laozi would get angry and come looking in Chaoge City.

Whether he could be found was another matter, but why wouldn't the System allow him to take this pill?

Was there something wrong with the pill, had someone tampered with it, or was it simply not the right time for him to take it, and it wouldn't benefit him?

Judging by the quality of the pill, it was indeed far inferior to the pills rewarded by the System.

In fact, Di Xin had known how to choose from the very beginning. There was only one path up Mount Hua since ancient times; he just really wanted to complain about these scams.

Even if it took him a day and a night, it was the only option.

After looking at the pill, he then looked at the tea leaves in the jade jar. It was indeed good tea; Di Xin knew quality, but unfortunately, he didn't like drinking tea, only wine.

After thinking for a moment, he took the Spirit Pill out of the jade bottle, found another bottle to put it in, and sent it into his System space.

Let it keep the Sky-Howling Dog company!

However, the empty bottle that had contained the pill, along with the jar containing the spirit tea, were left on the table by him.

Details determined success or failure; he didn't want to leave any traces.

After re-checking the doors and windows, Di Xin took out a Spirit Pill he had obtained from the System.

He now had a total of three System-rewarded Spirit Pills in his possession: one that could substitute for five years of cultivation, and two that could substitute for ten years of cultivation. That added up to twenty-five years of cultivation, and today, he could finally take one under the guise of the pill Wen Zhong had sent.

The one he took out first was the one that could substitute for five years of cultivation. Without much hesitation, he opened his mouth and swallowed it.
