Loyalty at One Hundred, Super Reward

"Master... why are you here?"

Zhuge Feng stared blankly at Su Bai, who had suddenly appeared beside him.

"Foolish disciple, if you wanted revenge, why not tell your master? Tell Lingxi and the others? Wouldn't it be better for everyone in the Heavenly Dao Sect to fight shoulder to shoulder?"

Su Bai sighed. With a wave of his hand, he swept all the surrounding storage pouches into his Storage Ring.

"Disciple... thanks Master for your guidance these past days..."

Zhuge Feng tried to kneel and bow, but his body was already beyond his control. He collapsed straight onto the ground.

Although Su Bai had stopped his self-destruction, the life he had burned away could not be returned!

And he had burned far, far too much of it!

Having burned to this extent, even if he wanted to stop, he could no longer do so.

His entire Heavenly Spiritual Root had been utterly burned away. There was no saving it now!

"You!"

Su Bai's heart ached beyond measure. If he had arrived a little earlier, perhaps Zhuge Feng could have burned a little less life away and retained some of his Spirit Root.

But now... it was already too late to say anything.

He immediately grabbed Zhuge Feng with one hand and the great iron rod with the other, silently chanting, "Instant Teleportation Talisman, instantly return to disciple Xiao Lingxi's side!"

"Ding! Because the host is carrying a living person, an additional one hundred points are required. Would you like to pay?"

"Pay it. Teleport at once!"

Su Bai did not hesitate in the slightest and immediately chose to redeem the Instant Teleportation Talisman.

If he delayed any longer, forget the Spirit Root—even his disciple's life would be gone!

"Ding! Deducting 200 points from the host. Teleportation commencing!"

A Void Rift enveloped Su Bai and Zhuge Feng. In an instant, the two vanished without a trace!

Heavenly Dao Sect, mountaintop.

Xiao Lingxi was practicing her swordsmanship when the void beside her was suddenly torn open by a huge gash, and two figures stepped out from within.

Xiao Lingxi was startled by the sudden commotion at first. But when she looked closely and saw that it was her own master, she finally let out a breath of relief.

Yet with her sharp eyes, she immediately noticed that something was wrong with Zhuge Feng.

"Senior Brother, what happened to you?"

Xiao Lingxi was shocked and hurriedly asked.

After Su Bai returned to the Heavenly Dao Sect, his strength immediately rose to the Unbeatable Domain.

"Suppress!"

He struck at once, stopping Zhuge Feng's life from continuing to burn and preserving his last sliver of lifespan.

"Senior Brother, quickly take these pills and heal yourself properly!"

Xiao Lingxi immediately handed Zhuge Feng several pills, but Zhuge Feng shook his head.

"Junior Sister Lingxi, don't waste the pills. I know my own condition."

He gave a faint, bitter smile, then forcibly supported himself and bowed deeply to Su Bai.

"This unfilial disciple can no longer repay Master's great kindness."

"Master, please forgive me!"

At last, he turned his head and looked once more toward Yellow Earth Town.

Above the Heavenly Dao Sect, the sky was clear for thousands of miles.

Above Yellow Earth Town, dark clouds pressed down thickly.

Within those clouds, two phantom figures seemed to emerge, passing through the torrential rain and appearing beneath the sunlight, beckoning to him.

The wronged souls who had died with resentment had finally left the darkness and walked into the light.

"Father, Mother, have you come to take your child home?"

Zhuge Feng murmured.

"Master, you're so powerful. You must have a way to save Senior Brother, right?"

Unable to bear it, Xiao Lingxi looked at Su Bai with hope filling her heart.

Su Bai's tightly furrowed brows relaxed as well, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Don't worry. Heaven isn't qualified to take my disciple yet!"

Just then, a system notification sounded in his mind.

"Ding! A disciple's loyalty level (favorability) has reached 100. Super reward issued!"

That notification had come precisely when Zhuge Feng bowed to him just now.

In other words, at that moment, Zhuge Feng had let go of every worldly attachment. In his heart, there was only the Heavenly Dao Sect!

Disciple's super reward: one Nine-Turn Creation Immortal Pill (restricted to disciple Zhuge Feng).

Host's super reward: one Future Pill (restricted to the host).

Nine-Turn Creation Immortal Pill: a supreme fate-changing immortal pill. It can reconstruct the fleshly body, revive the dead and regrow flesh upon white bones, restore youth, and awaken one of the user's potentials to its absolute peak. Potential includes, but is not limited to, physique, Spirit Root, comprehension...

Future Pill: after the host consumes it, he can borrow the cultivation strength his disciple Zhuge Feng will possess one hundred years in the future for a certain period of time, including combat techniques, divine abilities, and more learned in the future.

Of the two super rewards, one was for Zhuge Feng, while the other was for him.

Worthy of being super rewards—they had not disappointed Su Bai. Both were supreme treasures!

The Nine-Turn Creation Pill was a supreme immortal pill with the power to defy heaven and change fate. Zhuge Feng's current predicament would be easily resolved!

Moreover, Zhuge Feng after his fate was changed would only become even stronger!

The Future Pill was also an extraordinary trump card!

Outside the Heavenly Dao Sect, his strength was restricted. But with this Future Pill, he had gained another powerful trump card!

After consuming the Nine-Turn Creation Immortal Pill, how strong would the even more powerful Zhuge Feng become after cultivating for another hundred years?

Golden Core? Nascent Soul?

Or Spirit Transformation?

"Disciple, swallow this, and everything will be healed."

Su Bai took out the Nine-Turn Creation Immortal Pill and handed it to Zhuge Feng.

"Master... what is this?"

Looking at the jade bottle before him, Zhuge Feng was somewhat puzzled.

Though he did not know what was inside the jade bottle, the bottle alone made him feel that it was anything but ordinary.

Even merely touching it, the dried-up vitality within his body seemed to be slowly recovering!

"Don't ask what it is. Just swallow it." Su Bai waved his hand.

"Yes, Master!"

Without the slightest hesitation, he opened his mouth and inhaled. The jade bottle immediately opened, and a crystal-clear pill flew into his mouth and was swallowed into his stomach.

At once, the pill transformed into an immense surge of pure life essence that spread throughout his body!

An indescribable sensation coursed through every part of Zhuge Feng's body.

At the same time, an incomparably beautiful multicolored lotus appeared beneath Zhuge Feng's feet. Its twelve lotus leaves slowly closed, wrapping him within.

Creation of heaven and earth, Nirvana—Rebirth!

When Zhuge Feng emerged, he would undergo a transformation that would remake him from the marrow to the bone!

"Master, what is that? It's so beautiful!"

Xiao Lingxi stared at the multicolored lotus with bright eyes and asked.

"This is the Creation Lotus. One day in the future, you will have one as well." Su Bai smiled softly.

"Mm!"

Xiao Lingxi nodded obediently. In her eyes, anticipation had already begun to bloom for her own Creation Lotus.

With a wave of his hand, Su Bai concealed the Creation Lotus, preventing its aura from leaking out.

After he finished all this, a powerful, resounding voice suddenly rose from the foot of the mountain.

"The head of the Xiao Household of the Great Zhao Empire has come to visit the Heavenly Dao Sect!"

Upon hearing that voice, Su Bai showed no reaction, but Xiao Lingxi's entire body trembled.

She looked down the mountain and saw a group of people gathered at the Heavenly Dao Sect's mountain gate.

The instant she saw them, Xiao Lingxi blurted out like a startled rabbit:

"Oh no, my family has found me!"
