Entering Sainthood Supreme Treasure, Evil Eye

It's more than just too much of a coincidence!

It's such an absurd coincidence!

In situations like this, one or two coincidences are understandable, but too many coincidences overlapping is unacceptable.

Putting everything else aside, just consider his arrival in the Great Yue Kingdom, his encounter with Ying Yue, and the series of events that followed were all coincidences, the most outrageous being in that mountain.

He was clearly digging a hole, but somehow he ended up digging into Ying Yue's place, and in the end he was chased and killed by the Prime Minister of the Great Yue Kingdom. These things are hard to explain.

Xu Bai didn't reply to what Chief Mu said, but his eyes made it clear that this matter had to be clarified today.

"Ahem." Chief Mu placed his hand to his mouth and coughed lightly. "Don't look at me like that. I'm an elder, after all. If you really want to know, then..."

Before he could finish speaking, he felt Eunuch Wei staring at him. Although there was no emotion in his eyes, he understood what he meant.

That's really... well done!

Chief Mu thought to himself.

This kid is really clever; bringing Eunuch Wei along is clearly a way to help out.

He certainly couldn't actually fight with Eunuch Wei; in fact, if a fight broke out, he could replace him.

Since he can't actually fight, and he's just a Qi Fortune Master, how could he possibly win?

"Boring," Chief Mu sighed. "Actually, I've been keeping an eye on you ever since you Upper Capital."

"Huh?" Xu Bai felt a chill run down his spine when he heard this.

The feeling was like being watched by a cunning old monster, with every part of you laid bare.

Chief Mu waved his hand. "Don't look at me like that. You should know that the Upper Capital was extremely dangerous, so why did it go so smoothly?"

Xu Bai asked, "Why?"

"Because... I took a bit of your luck," Chief Mu said slowly.

Xu Bai didn't seem to mind; he didn't know much about this kind of thing, so he just nodded calmly.

Eunuch Wei, standing nearby, raised an eyebrow and stepped forward, saying, "You just said you shared a portion of the fortune. You old codger, you value fortune extremely highly, would you really be willing to share it with Xu Bai?"

Others may not know much about it, but for his generation, Eunuch Wei's understanding of Chief Mu was quite profound.

Qi Fortune Master's level is determined by their Qi Luck, and Chief Mu, based on the Qi Luck of the Great Chu Kingdom, has become Entering Sainthood Ninth Grade being.

Of course, this fortune does not belong to Chief Mu, but as long as the Great Chu Kingdom exists, Chief Mu can use this fortune to maintain his peak condition.

The fortune being lent to others is not that of the Great Chu Kingdom, but rather that of Chief Mu personally.

In professions like those of Qi Fortune Master, personal fortune is extremely important. If one's personal fortune is weak, one will be unable to control the fortune of the Great Chu Kingdom.

"No wonder," said Eunuch Wei. "When Xu Bai Upper Capital, you stayed at the Star Plucking Tower the whole time. It seems you were worried that you wouldn't be able to stay steady when you were moving around."

Chief Mu nodded, agreeing with Eunuch Wei's idea, "Such an interesting person, of course I must ensure his safety, just like this time, I also deserve credit for it."

"However... it's time to return it."

After saying that, Chief Mu waved his hand.

Without any specific symptoms, Xu Bai felt as if something had been drawn from his body.

"Phew..." Chief Mu breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally, we can leave this Star Plucking Tower."

"Why?" Xu Bai asked again before Chief Mu could finish venting his anger.

The first question asked why, despite the dangers of the journey to the Upper Capital, they ultimately succeeded.

The question "Why?" asks why one should bestow fortune upon him.

Chief Mu took a few steps forward.

Suddenly, the darkness stirred, and several experts from the Bureau of Surveillance carried a table and benches, placing them in front of them. On the table were a pot of tea and two cups.

"Let's chat while we drink," Chief Mu, sitting down and gesturing for Xu Bai and Eunuch Wei to sit down as well.

Xu Bai's lips twitched slightly. He sensed that Chief Mu seemed to have some strange properties.

In Xu Bai's view, these true masters all had some issues with their personalities.

"That's just how he is." Eunuch Wei pulled Xu Bai to sit down, while he himself sat in another seat. "He's done these kinds of unreliable things before, like building this Star Plucking Tower."

"When they were building it, they said they wanted to find a secluded place to keep a low profile, but they ended up building this nine-story building. In their words, they are all experts and need to maintain a certain style."

"And don't be fooled by his constant chess games; he just plays randomly."

Xu Bai: "..."

Upon hearing this, he subconsciously glanced at the chessboard.

He knew a little about Go, but the board was a complete mess and he couldn't understand anything about it.

I understand.

Xu Bai understood.

This is perhaps the ultimate level of pretentiousness: pretending even when you don't understand.

"A cup of tea is enough to finish speaking." Chief Mu didn't seem to care that Eunuch Wei had pointed him out. He poured two cups of tea, exuding an air of elegance.

He handed the tea to the two of them, spread his hands, and said calmly, "The best tea goes with the most suitable topic."

Xu Bai touched his forehead with his hand.

If you didn't know, you might think it's very classy, but after you found out, Xu Bai only felt awkward all over the screen.

He took a sip to calm himself down, then put down the teacup and looked at Chief Mu, indicating that he was ready to tell the truth.

"From the day you Upper Capital, I saw the past." Chief Mu said simply, as if he were talking about something insignificant.

Xu Bai was stunned. "See the past?"

Saying that completely stumped him.

Chief Mu took a sip of tea, which was a little too hot for his mouth, and quickly put down the teacup. He said, "When His Majesty first took notice of you, he had someone calculate that you were an exceptionally important talent, even of great importance to the interests of the Great Chu Kingdom."

"At that time, I was thinking, what is so special about such a talent? So I used the most mysterious and unpredictable ability among the Qi Fortune Master."

"I looked into your past first, and it made me so sick I almost vomited blood. It took me almost ten days to recover."

"Qi Fortune Master can see the past and the future. At the time, I thought that seeing the past almost killed me, let alone the future. I didn't dare to look at it at all."

Although Chief Mu maintained a calm expression while speaking, a hint of unease lingered in his eyes.

This also proves that the situation at the time was not as simple as he described.

Not only did they not see it, but they also suffered enormous harm, far more than just spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood.

"If you couldn't even see my future, how could you possibly know about that mountain?"

"No, you placed your fortune on that mountain a long time ago."

Xu Bai frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

Decades ago, Chief Mu had already planted the seeds of destiny, and it was impossible to move them into the Three Lives Mountain.

But why is everything that happened at Three Lives Mountain related to Xu Bai? There must be a sequence to things; the fortune was buried first, and then he went to the Great Yue Kingdom.

It's not about knowing where he's going and then planting the seeds of his destiny.

"Ahem." Chief Mu coughed lightly again to cover up his embarrassment. "If I had told you, young friend, please don't blame me."

"I can't guarantee that," Xu Bai said directly.

Chief Mu was taken aback; he hadn't expected Xu Bai to answer him like that.

We're all social people, so let's say some polite things, like, "It's not strange at all, it's not strange at all."

Xu Bai's answer was so direct that he didn't know how to respond.

"Fine then." Chief Mu decided to play the rogue. "Anyway, you'll have to know this eventually, whether you tell me or not."

"Since you have taken my luck, you are now connected to me, and you will naturally be drawn to places related to me. All of this sounds very mysterious."

"But the things in our line of work are inherently mysterious. Haven't you seen the concept of luck? It's a mysterious thing in itself."

Upon hearing this, Xu Bai pondered for a moment, then organized what Chief Mu had told him and analyzed the connections between them.

"In other words, because of your good fortune, although the journey to the Upper Capital was dangerous, I still managed to arrive in the end."

"It is also because of your luck that everything I do afterward will be more or less related to you."

"That's why I encountered the Three Lives Mountain in the Ruins, and why I went to the Three Lives Mountain on my way to the Great Yue Kingdom."

"It was because of the fortune you left behind on Three Lives Mountain that I did this."

It's indeed quite mysterious. Xu Bai could only glean these conclusions from Chief Mu's words. As for the underlying principles...

Ignore it.

You can't possibly use some scientific methods from your past life to explain this fantastical world, that would be too far-fetched.

Having obtained the results and understood the cause and effect, Xu Bai realized that this did not mean he could let the matter rest.

"Chief Mu." Xu Bai stopped drinking tea and gently swirled the teacup, saying calmly, "You are my senior, and you are one of the nine greatest masters of our time. What I am about to say may be hurtful, but I have to say it."

"As a senior, it would be a disgrace for a master to scheme against a junior like this."

"I've always thought that I really respect you seniors, but you did something so hurtful. If this gets out, it might be a loss of face for someone as skilled as you."

Chief Mu's expression was stiff, and he didn't drink the teacup he had placed to his lips for a long time.

Beside him, Eunuch Wei sneered, "What a shameless old bastard! You actually schemed against a junior. You've lived your whole life in vain. Our family is ashamed to be associated with you."

In this matter, it was indeed Chief Mu who acted unethically.

From any perspective, Xu Bai is flawless.

Eunuch Wei is a man who is extremely principled. He helps those in the right, not those in the family. In this matter, Xu Bai is indeed in the right.

"I know, but this is an essential part of my plan." Chief Mu sighed and said, "Look now, the Dark Building's luck is gone, and the Great Yue Kingdom has to deal with its internal affairs. Isn't that our opportunity?"

Eunuch Wei remained silent.

These are matters Border Pass; he is an official in the capital and doesn't want to concern himself with them for the time being.

He's no expert at murder.

He's no good at fighting.

He came here today at Xu Bai's invitation, so it depends on Xu Bai's decision.

Eunuch Wei turned his gaze to Xu Bai and said, "Just tell me what you need. With me here, I'll make the decisions for you."

Xu Bai nodded and looked at Chief Mu.

Chief Mu looked around and knew that he would have to bleed a little today, so he said bluntly, "Speak, as long as I can afford it, I won't hesitate."

Xu Bai smiled.

At first, Xu Bai had a serious expression, but after Chief Mu agreed, he immediately changed his expression.

"First of all, I don't want you to inject my luck into me for no reason anymore," Xu Bai made a request.

Chief Mu said, "You can rest assured about this matter. Anyone who understands this industry knows that once you enter the Transcendent Realm, it will be impossible to give you any more luck."

"Hmm..." Xu Bai nodded. "Secondly, this time the hurt was extremely deep, especially the emotional hurt, which was incredibly deep. I need some compensation."

"I'm not greedy, I just love a secret manual. If you have any, bring them out."

Since it's compensation, it's best to ask for an exorbitant amount.

"Are you sure?" Chief Mu hesitated for a moment, then placed his hand on the table and clenched his fist slightly.

Xu Bai nodded and said, "Of course."

"But... I never collect any secret manuals here. The secret manuals are all in the Imperial Treasury. I don't have that authority. After all, if I were to do that, it would be overstepping my authority," said Chief Mu.

If Xu Bai could make any expression, he felt he would definitely wear one of disgust.

This matter should be left to whoever is responsible, and we cannot go to the Chu Emperor about it, since it was Chief Mu who did it.

But we can't just give up everything, can we? Wouldn't it be a loss if we didn't get the manual? Xu Bai pondered for a moment and said, "Then how about this, you give me the manual for Qi Fortune Master."

This time, before Chief Mu could even speak, Eunuch Wei stopped Xu Bai after he asked the question.

"No, you can't have this."

Xu Bai asked, puzzled, "Why can't we have it?"

"If I gave you the secret manual for the profession of eunuch, would you be willing to learn it?" Eunuch Wei asked in return.

Xu Bai pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

This wasn't because he intentionally hurt Eunuch Wei's feelings, but because this skill truly couldn't be learned.

To learn, one must sacrifice oneself, but who is willing to do such a thing? "It's the same principle," said Eunuch Wei. "In the profession of Qi Fortune Master, even if you are a Entering Sainthood Expert, you cannot exert your strength if you are not bound to the corresponding place. Therefore, there are very few Qi Fortune Master in the world."

"The three major powers already have Qi Fortune Master bound to them. Who can you bind to? Can you bind to an entire city? Your current abilities are far more useful."

In my opinion...

He hadn't finished speaking.

"Ahem." Chief Mu coughed and interrupted, "Eunuch Wei, this is not fair. This is a deal between him and me."

Xu Bai remained silent.

After listening to Eunuch Wei's account, he hesitated.

To be honest, his cheat ability is that once you finish watching the progress bar, you reach the highest level, but if this profession isn't bound to it, it's completely useless.

The most outrageous thing is that this industry is closely related to the things it's tied to, so it could backfire if things go wrong.

If they really come over, it could be a huge problem.

But he felt he was losing out if he didn't take anything.

Xu Bai thought for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up. He seemed to have heard Eunuch Wei say, "In my opinion."

Moreover, as soon as Eunuch Wei uttered those four words, he was immediately interrupted by Chief Mu.

Could it be that Eunuch Wei knows that Chief Mu possesses some kind of treasure?

"Eunuch Wei, don't say a word." Xu Bai pulled Eunuch Wei back and said, "Who said you weren't involved in this? You're here to support me, so naturally you have a part in this."

Upon hearing this, Chief Mu, who had been trying to interrupt, quickly shut up.

Looking at Xu Bai, Eunuch Wei gave a peaceful smile, but to Chief Engineer Mu standing beside him, the smile seemed full of treachery.

"When he was young, this guy used to collect treasures. The one-time treasure that saved you this time was also one of his collections. Speaking of treasures, he has a lot of things on him, but I know one that is especially suitable for you."

"Oh?" Xu Bai's interest was immediately piqued. "What treasure?"

"A knife." Eunuch Wei said with a smile, "This knife is very similar to your Hundred Rifts Knife from back then, but it is a supreme treasure of the Saint level. It is said that it was pieced together from the hardest bones among tens of thousands of demons."

"The way to use it is very similar to your Hundred Rifts weapon, but it is at the Saint level."

Xu Bai was initially very interested, but his interest waned after hearing that it was just a knife.

It's just a knife; it's not of much use to him. He's currently using the Blade Sword Three Absolutes, so he doesn't need a knife at all.

To put it in a rather pretentious way, at his level, weapons are no longer of any use to him.

But since Eunuch Wei had explained for so long, Xu Bai didn't want to offend him. Just as he was thinking about how to reply, Eunuch Wei saw through his thoughts.

"Are you thinking that such a knife is useless to you? Don't forget, this is a weapon of sainthood level," said Eunuch Wei.

Xu Bai, having his thoughts revealed, didn't hide them and nodded directly, indicating that this was indeed the case.

"How many ranks can you surpass now?" Eunuch Wei asked.

Xu Bai thought for a moment and said, "I am currently at the first level of the Extraordinary Realm, and I can probably fight someone at the fifth level of the Extraordinary Realm."

After several tests, he now has a deep understanding of his own abilities.

"With this sword, you can Entering Sainthood Seventh Grade." Eunuch Wei explained simply, "Let me put it more clearly, this sword is a supreme treasure at the Saint level. Even if you reach the Saint level, it can raise your rank by two. There are only a handful of supreme treasures at the Saint level in the world, and this is his best treasure."

"Do you know where that sword manual you're learning comes from? That Knife Ghost tried to steal it, but he was discovered and was seriously injured by our palm when he tried to escape. This shows how important it is."

Xu Bai's eyes lit up, and then he unceremoniously extended his hand to Chief Mu.

Chief Mu: "..."

At this moment, Chief Mu deeply felt what it meant to be betrayed by one's own people.

Taking that manual wouldn't have been a problem in itself, nor would taking anything from his treasures—he might not even have gotten the sword. But now...

We're doomed.

"Good!"

The words have already been spoken, and since compensation is indeed owed, and the other party has made a request that he can fulfill, he has no choice but to give it to them.

"Come with me," said Chief Mu.

After saying that, he turned around, pushed open the door of the room, and went to another room on this floor.

Xu Bai and Eunuch Wei followed behind and soon arrived at the room. Upon entering the room, Xu Bai felt his eyes were about to blur.

Everywhere you look, there are jewels and treasures.

Xu Bai wasn't actually a connoisseur, but just by looking at the appearance of these items, he could tell they were definitely not ordinary goods.

The most important thing is that there's a lot of it! It's even covered the ground!

With each step Xu Bai took, he stepped on a different treasure, finding the feeling quite unique.

He then recalled Eunuch Wei's words and felt that this sentence should be enclosed in quotation marks.

"Frequently searching for treasures".

It's not just frequent, it's like emptying a mountain of treasure! "Won't it be okay to leave it here?" Xu Bai asked.

Eunuch Wei said, "In the Great Chu Kingdom, there are two safest places: one is the Imperial Treasury in the Imperial Palace, and the other is this place. Anyone who dares to touch the Little Gold of Entering Sainthood Ninth Grade will die without even knowing how they died."

Xu Bai: "..."

Well, it seems that's true now; it's safer here than anywhere else.

Chief Mu remained silent, heartbroken, as he searched frantically in one of the corners.

This corner was piled high with treasures. When it was being searched, the treasures around it kept flying up in all directions, making Xu Bai's heart pound.

Good heavens! It's like using a shovel to turn over the soil.

After a while, Chief Mu pulled out a knife from the pile of treasures.

When Bai first saw the knife, his eyes lit up.

The entire knife was jet black, with fine cracks on it, much like the Hundred Rifts technique.

However, an eye is carved at the junction of the hilt and the blade of this knife.

To be precise, the eye wasn't carved, because it actually moved slightly when the knife was taken out.

"These eyes..." Xu Bai said hesitantly.

Eunuch Wei explained, "The eyes of a bird demon at the Saint level did not decay, so they were embedded in the blade."

"It is unknown what era this knife is from, but when Chief Mu obtained it, he used his abilities to see the past and the forging process of this knife."

So that was in the past. No wonder.

With only nine Saints among the current experts, Xu Bai wondered where the other Saints among the demon race could be. If it were in the past, then everything would make sense.

"This knife has no name, and I didn't name it after I got it, because I don't use knives." Chief Mu handed over the knife with a pained expression. "Speaking of which, this knife really does resemble you."

"Oh?" Xu Bai took it from his hand. "Why?"

He didn't get an answer, but he learned the reason.

Upon acquiring the knife, Xu Bai sensed a chaotic aura emanating from it.

The chaos was overwhelming; any extraordinary expert would have been torn to pieces by it.

But Xu Bai is different. His Heavenly Change is chaos, and now rationality is mixed into the chaos. The chaos of this sword makes him even more powerful.

"Could this also be a coincidence?"

As the saying goes, "A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit." After what happened before, Xu Bai looked at the knife that matched him so well and couldn't help but have some doubts.

This is a cunning and shrewd man who spent decades dismantling the Dark Building. Xu Bai has to be careful.

"Absolutely not," said Chief Mu. "It is truly a coincidence. I can guarantee it with my own integrity. If you don't believe me, you can ask His Majesty."

"I saw the past. This knife killed too many people and was buried underground. Over countless years, it absorbed too much resentment, which led to this chaos."

Xu Bai clicked his tongue. "No name?"

Chief Mu nodded and said, "After all, I'm not an expert with a knife either."

"Then shall I choose one?" Xu Bai asked.

Chief Mu's lips twitched slightly.

I've given this thing to him. Whoever wants to name it can name it. Just don't let him see this knife again, or it will break his heart!

Xu Bai fell into thought.

It definitely can't be called "Hundred Rifts". Since it's a treasure at the Saint level, it must have a matching name.

After thinking for a long time, Xu Bai said in a deep tone, "I'll call you Evil Eye."

The Evil Eye" comes from the fact that it has an eye printed on it and also exudes a chaotic aura.

Eunuch Wei: "?"

Chief Mu murmured, "This precious sword is covered in dust..."

Xu Bai scratched his head. "Is there something wrong? A name is just a code, we shouldn't worry too much about these details."

He didn't feel at all that the name he had chosen was somewhat inappropriate.

And he even put on a tough-guy act, meaning that this is my level, and it's already pretty good that I can do this much.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Chief Mu waved his hand and pushed Xu Bai and Eunuch Wei out.

He didn't want to see those two people anymore; he had suffered heavy losses and was in great pain.

"Hey? What does this have to do with us? We're just here to keep things quiet. We haven't even finished our tea yet," said Eunuch Wei, speechless.

"Heh, you two are in cahoots, get out of here!" Chief Mu sneered.

Then, Xu Bai and Eunuch Wei were pushed out of the Star Plucking Tower. Xu Bai had originally said he would wait for Ying Yue, since Ying Yue had said she was coming to find him.

But Chief Mu Chief Mu, saying that Ying Yue had just returned and had other matters to attend to, so he couldn't see him.

Standing at the entrance of the Star Plucking Tower, Xu Bai and Eunuch Wei exchanged a glance and said the same thing in unison.

"Stingy, extremely stingy."

Who is Chief Mu? He can be heard even if you speak in a low voice, let alone these two who are not trying to hide it.

"Roll!!!"

An angry roar erupted from inside the Star Plucking Tower.

Xu Bai and Eunuch Wei exchanged a glance, and then walked towards the Imperial Palace...

On their way back, the two talked as they walked, and Eunuch Wei asked Xu Bai if there was anything else he needed to do.

Xu Bai said that he had nothing else to do, he just wanted to rest in the Imperial Palace for a while and see Ye Zi and the others.

This journey was truly fraught with difficulties and dangers, far more so than the Upper Capital, especially the final pursuit, which was the most dangerous experience Xu Bai had ever felt.

I need to rest and at least adjust my condition. Otherwise, the more stimulating things happen, the more likely I am to develop problems.

Eunuch Wei didn't say anything about it, and even nodded in approval.

The two entered the Imperial Palace, and along the way they wanted to have a drink. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, so the two drinking buddies naturally wanted to drink to their hearts' content.

But before they had gone very far, a young eunuch suddenly ran over.

"Eunuch Wei, His Majesty has summoned you urgently, saying there is an important matter that requires your presence."

"In addition, King Xu can rest in the capital for the time being."

Eunuch Wei was taken aback for a moment, then realized what was happening, nodded, and followed the little eunuch.

Xu Bai was not involved, which clearly meant the emperor didn't want Xu Bai to get involved, and Xu Bai was happy to be left alone, hoping to avoid trouble.

These days, slacking off is the most enjoyable thing.

The Evil Eye Evil Eye sword was slung at his waist, its eyes constantly darting about. Because it was sheathed, the chaos did not dissipate.

Xu Bai, familiar with the place, headed towards the Imperial Treasury.

Since Eunuch Wei has something to do, we can't drink this wine. But it doesn't matter, he can go find Ye Zi.

It's still early before the agreed time, Ye Zi is still studying with the Heavenly Sound Master, so we should be able to find her this time.

It had been a long time since they had last met, so Xu Bai naturally wanted to see her and ask Heavenly Sound Master to give Ye Zi a break so the two of them could find a place to have a good heart-to-heart talk.

Soon, Xu Bai arrived at the Imperial Treasury.

The soldiers outside, upon seeing that it was Xu Bai, still stepped forward and said, "King Xu, you cannot enter without His Majesty's written order."

Even though Xu Bai is now in a high position and can freely enter and leave the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Treasury is a place of utmost importance, and without the emperor's edict, one cannot enter at all.

Xu Bai was not the kind of person who was unreasonable, nor was he the kind of person who acted arrogantly. Both soldiers were doing their jobs well and were very conscientious, so there was nothing to complain about.

He can't go in, but that doesn't mean Ye Zi can't come out.

He didn't even need to speak, because with Ye Zi's strength, he should already be able to sense him just by standing there.

Sure enough, before Xu Bai could say anything, he saw a figure rushing towards him.

Behind this figure was an enormous, phantom image of a guqin (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument).

This is Heavenly Change for Ye Zi; Ye Zi has become a master of the Transcendent Realm.

Perhaps Ye Zi left in a hurry and didn't put it away.

"Young Master!"

With a crisp shout, Ye Zi threw herself into Xu Bai, trembling slightly.

Xu Bai smiled, put his arm around Ye Zi's waist, but his gaze went past Ye Zi and fell on the Heavenly Sound Master behind Ye Zi.

"Senior, absence makes the heart grow fonder. How about we give her a day off today?"

The Heavenly Sound Master waved his hand, a disdainful expression on his face. "Just one day? You young people should be more restrained."

In his arms, Ye Zi's face turned incredibly rosy.

Xu Bai looked at the person in his arms, picked her up in his arms, and turned to leave.
