First Experience with a Leap of Faith

After staying for three days, Qingqiu Chen finally left with his granddaughter, Qingqiu Yu. Watching their figures disappear into the horizon, Wu Chu could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Faced with that old fox who was very likely to have ill intentions towards him, Wu Chu couldn't even muster the interest to write a family history for the Qingqiu Clan.

As a result, Little Moon Spirit asked him somewhat confusedly, "Brother A Chu, did you really promise Purple Jade Daoist to take care of this Spirit Root, the Purple Jade Spirit Crabapple?"

Wu Chu laughed and reached out to rub her little head. "Guess!"

"They're so adorably stupid!" Yibao jumped out and mocked.

"You think you're so smart!" Wu Chu glanced at her and asked, "So, clever Yibao, have you noticed anything unusual about those two Spirit Treasure?"

Upon hearing Wu Chu's question, Little Moon Spirit couldn't help but exclaim "Ah!"

Wu Chu ruffled her hair again, "You're still too naive, little girl."

The strange treasure glanced at the Illusion-Breaking Bell and the Water-Repelling Pearl, then shook its head and said, "My Merit Power entered them and found nothing unusual; they shouldn't have been tampered with."

Hearing Yibao say that, Wu Chu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, it's understandable upon reflection. Since the old fox Qingqiu Chen mistook him for a Golden Immortal of the same level, he certainly wouldn't easily leave any ammunition for Wu Chu to use against him.

A cunning fox wouldn't do something so obviously foolish.

After using Yibao as a tool, Wu Chu immediately turned ruthless, saying, "If you're so smart, why didn't you come out and scare that old fox to death before? You made me worry for days. If it weren't for my Oscar-worthy acting skills..."

"Give me a break! If you really had Oscar-worthy acting skills, would you have ended up in such a miserable state before?"

If you're heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless; Yibao's "Retort" feature is now live.

After leaving Wu Chu speechless, she said, "If I come out, do you believe that old fox will keep an eye on you from now on? Even if he can't guess your cultivation level now, with him watching you like this, he'll eventually find an opportunity!"

"You sensed that old fox's evil intentions?"

Although Wu Chu also felt that the old fox might not have any good intentions, the old fox had done things so meticulously and even treated him as an ally, so Wu Chu couldn't be sure.

"One should not harbor malicious intentions, but one must be wary of others. Especially since the other party is a notoriously cunning old fox, what do you think?"

"..."

Little Moon Spirit silently watched the two of them, feeling that what they had just said seemed quite different from what Wu Chu had done when facing the two foxes.

But why do we have to do this?

Is this the world of the strong?

This is so hard to understand!

"Sigh! That old fox has delayed my cultivation. It seems I need to make up for the lessons I missed these past few days!" Wu Chu said, looking at Little Moon Spirit, "Yueling! We must speed up the process of eating that Dragon Meat. You heard before that the Dragon Clan might come looking for us. We must devour that Azure Dragon completely before they arrive."

Upon hearing Little Moon Spirit's face turned serious and she nodded in agreement.

Wu Chu turned and went upstairs, silently saying to Yibao, "Yibao! It seems we need to make a backup plan for wandering. Maybe we won't be able to stay in Purple Jade Mountain for long."

Faced with this question, Yibao fell silent.

Moreover, besides the Dragon Clan, that Lantern-Burning Daoist is also a threat!

After silently cultivating for a day and a night, digesting the Dragon Meat and spiritual wine within his body, Wu Chu discovered that the Five-Colored Mist within him had grown much stronger.

But it's still quite a distance from filling his Qi Sea.

In fact, he didn't know how to continue cultivating after his Qi Sea was filled with the Five-Colored Qi. The Three Flowers of 'essence, Qi, and spirit' were easy to understand, but Three Flowers Little Moon Spirit couldn't explain how to condense them either, so he had to figure it out himself.

This is definitely going to be a frustrating and lengthy process.

Putting aside these troubling thoughts, Wu Chu went outside, stretched, and then leaped down from the railing—quick, easy, and stylish.

"A Chu, you're awake! The Dragon Meat is ready, would you like some?"

"Okay, but I have to choose to clean my hands."

Little Moon Spirit nodded, preparing to escort Wu Chu downstairs, but Wu Chu waved his hand, "Let me try it myself! Just watch me. Yibao, remember to protect me at all times."

Yibao sat on his shoulders with a grin and said, "It's okay. Even if you fall from here and land face down, I'll be here and you won't die."

"Don't exaggerate too much, or you'll burst and I'll die!"

As Wu Chu spoke, he rushed towards the edge of the treetop, leaping down with a leap so powerful it resembled Leap of Faith. His body was straight, arms outstretched, like a spear accelerating towards the earth. The Astral Wind stung his face, and his long hair whipped wildly with his descent. The thrilling spectacle made one's heart race, adrenaline surge, and one's entire being become excited.

However, Wu Chu, with a thought, timely used his magic, Wind-Summoning Technique and Cloud-Gathering Technique... The wind blew upwards, and the clouds surged in front of him. Although they could not completely stop his descent, they did slow down his falling speed.

Little Moon Spirit stood silently atop the tree, watching to make sure she could intervene in time if Yibao made a mistake.

Of course, in the end, neither of them intervened; Wu Chu resolved the situation on his own.

With the help of those minor spells, Wu Chu twisted several degrees in the air as he approached the ground, and rolled a few times after landing.

"Yoho!"

Wu Chu sprang up from the ground, swung his fist in mid-air, landed, and looked up at the treetop, his face beaming with joy.

Even he himself couldn't believe that he had just jumped from a height of more than two thousand meters, and without any safety measures.

Seeing that Wu Chu had landed safely, Little Moon Spirit smiled and turned to prepare breakfast.

Wu Chu took a breath, calmed his racing heart, and hummed a song as he ran towards the outhouse.

Then Yibao asked, "How are you going to get up there later?"

"..."

Why bring up something you shouldn't say!

Wu Chu cursed under his breath and said, "Aren't you going to go back to your phone? Do you want to watch me use the toilet?"

"Pah! How rare!" Yibao said, turning around and diving into her phone.

After sitting in the outhouse for a while to relieve the pressure on his stomach, Wu Chu went to the lake to wash his hands. The large Red Giant Fish swimming in the lake swam towards him.

Upon seeing it, Wu Chu casually tossed a handful of water at it, greeting it with a smile, "Hey! Little Red, good morning! Out for a stroll again!"

Upon seeing this, the Red Giant Fish raised its head and spat water directly at Wu Chu, thinking that Wu Chu was planning to play in the water with it again!

A water column a meter thick shot straight at him from dozens of meters away. Wu Chu laughed and used a spell to block the water column.

"You wait here, I'll throw you a piece of Dragon Meat in a bit, goodbye!"

Wu Chu turned around, looked at the treetop, put his hands on his hips, and called out, "Yueling, come and help your brother A Chu, I can't get up there!"

Although he can now jump over 100 meters high, it is still not enough compared to the more than 2,000 meters of the Sacred Tree, so he can only ask Yueling for help.

Upon hearing Wu Chu's words, Little Moon Spirit covered her mouth, then Yoyo down on a cloud.

"After we finish eating, go find a hard stone and we'll make a stone mill to grind Castanea Henryi Powder. Then A Chu will teach you Steamed Castanea Rolls."

"If we're grinding powder, we don't need a stone mill, right?" Little Moon Spirit blinked her big eyes.

Wu Chu chuckled and said, "Although you can do it, who knows, maybe if we make a stone mill, the Heavenly Dao Lord will bestow Merit upon us? Do you want it?"

"Yes, I want it!"

Little Moon Spirit's eyes immediately lit up.
