Xiao Wu Faced a Life-or-Death Crisis

At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi clenched his fists.

"Die! Something has to go wrong! Spirit Hall absolutely cannot get ahead of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Ning Fengzhi's eyes were bloodshot. It was bad enough that Spirit Hall had hidden a young lord, but the crucial thing was that, of those who had reached the Primordial World, Qian Renxue was doing the best.

How could he allow that?

The Clear Sky Sect was no different.

"Spirit Hall's young lord deserves to die! They've forced our Clear Sky Sect to shut its doors all these years. It's time for their karma to come!"

The Tang elders' eyes were bloodshot, and they panted like bulls, watching the livestream until they worked themselves into a frenzy.

At last, Qian Renxue opened her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I feel so light, so comfortable. I've never felt this refreshed before."

"Does this mean I've entered the refining essence into qi realm?"

Ignoring the Soul Bones that had fallen off, Qian Renxue jumped down from the bed to feel the changes in herself.

"I only refined a single wisp of spiritual qi, and it devoured all the Soul Power in my body."

"Although my Soul Rings are gone, along with my old Soul Skills, I feel stronger than before."

"This Primordial World really is terrifying."

"I wonder how much stronger I am now."

Then something occurred to Qian Renxue, and she immediately picked up the Storage Bag beside the bed.

She transferred everything from her Storage Soul Tool into the Storage Bag.

"What a wonderful thing."

Qian Renxue hung the Storage Bag at her waist and patted it. With a kilometer of space inside, it could hold so much.

"But I can't disguise myself anymore. I'll cover my face with a cloth."

Qian Renxue knew full well that beauty without strength was a disaster, so she kept a very low profile.

After dressing unobtrusively, she left the house, wanting to test her strength.

But to her surprise, Grandpa Liu had arrived early that morning with the people who had helped build the house yesterday.

"You're awake, little lass?"

"Good morning, Grandpa Liu."

Qian Renxue hurriedly greeted him.

"Mm, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Go on. Your auntie has saved you some food at home."

Grandpa Liu pointed toward his house. "I'll bring people over these next few days and get your house built."

Qian Renxue was a little touched. She had not expected Grandpa Liu to take her affairs so much to heart.

"Thank you, Grandpa Liu."

Qian Renxue accepted all his kindness while checking her Storage Bag for something she could give Grandpa Liu in return.

"What are you thanking me for? We're not working for nothing. You'll have to look after the Earth God Temple properly from now on."

"Of course. Please rest assured, everyone. As long as I'm here, I'll never let anyone disturb the Earth God."

Qian Renxue kept Earth Granny's words firmly in mind, so in public she called him the Earth God directly, rather than using the title Lord Earth God.

"All right, hurry along and eat."

Grandpa Liu shooed Qian Renxue away again. Looking at the figure before her, a smile touched her lips.

"This feels rather nice."

Here, there was no pressure at all. She did not need to think about how to advance her undercover work in Heaven Dou or how to develop Spirit Hall.

Everything was so quiet and peaceful.

But while she was living well, others were suffering.

Northern Julu Continent.

Xiao Wu had finally struggled through the night, only to be woken early in the morning by shouting and cursing.

"Damn it! My cultivation speed yesterday wasn't even half what it used to be. What on earth is going on?"

Chicken Spirit cursed in a shrill voice.

Demon beasts cultivated differently from human cultivators. Essence of the moon was essential to them.

Unfortunately, these lesser demons had little spiritual intelligence and did not know that the essence of the moon had already decreased by seventy percent.

"I don't know either. I was slower yesterday too."

The other spirits all shook their heads.

Then Chicken Spirit turned his gaze toward Xiao Wu.

"It's her! It must be this little jinx!"

"Snake Maiden, ever since you brought her here, our cultivation has slowed down!"

At those words, Xiao Wu shrank into a corner, not daring to make a sound. Just yesterday, this Chicken Spirit had said he wanted to eat her.

"Hey, old chicken, don't you go spitting blood at people!"

Refusing to back down, Snake Maiden started arguing with Chicken Spirit.

While they argued, in a cave at the highest point of Bai Ze Ridge.

A Black Bear Spirit was speaking with his subordinate. Black Bear Spirit was the strongest demon on Bai Ze Ridge.

Black Bear Spirit had almost completely assumed human form, except that he still had a bear's head. Demon beasts had different standards of beauty from humans, and Black Bear Spirit thought his head was his most attractive feature.

"You're saying the essence of the moon around Nine Demon Cave decreased by seventy percent last night?"

Hearing his subordinate's report, Black Bear Spirit could no longer sit still.

He instinctively glanced up at the sky. His cultivation realm was high, and he understood the most.

"Those nine damned creeping things! Which Great God did they offend to bring down such punishment?"

"No, Nine Demon Cave cannot be allowed to remain. What if they bring disaster on me someday?"

"Pass down my orders. Gather the little ones. Once I've had my fill of food and drink, I'll lead you to raid their cave!"

The starkly different living conditions of Qian Renxue and Xiao Wu were shown in full to everyone across the Douluo Continent.

"Damn it! Why does Qian Renxue get to have such good luck, while Xiao Wu has to face a life-or-death crisis?"

Tang San was so anxious that two drops of urine leaked out.

Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes.

Her ancestors accumulated enough yin virtue.

Of course, she only thought those words. She did not dare say them in front of Tang Hao.

Tang San sank into a rage all on his own.

"Xiao Wu could definitely practice that cultivation method, but I have no way to send it to her."

"That black bear is about to attack Nine Demon Cave. Xiao Wu, how am I supposed to save you?"

Tang San's eyes bulged as though their corners would split, yet there was nothing he could do.

"Little San, don't panic."

Yu Xiaogang's voice suddenly rang out.

"Teacher, you're awake?"

Tang San hurried over. At some point, Yu Xiaogang had stopped cultivating.

"Xiaogang, how is that cultivation method? Have you discovered anything?"

Flender, Tang Hao, and the others all gathered around him.

Yu Xiaogang froze for a moment. Discovered anything?

He had not even sensed spiritual qi after all this time. If Qian Renxue had not successfully switched cultivation methods, he would have thought the technique was fake.

But he could not say that. He was the Master. There could be nothing in this world he did not understand.

"Ahem."

Yu Xiaogang stood up with his hands behind his back.

"Although this cultivation method was merely something Earth Granny obtained through a chance encounter, it does have its merits."

Flender and the others grew excited at that.

Tang San's eyes flickered. He had known it would not work.

The others wanted to ask more, but Yu Xiaogang changed the subject.

"Now isn't the time to discuss this. Xiao Wu is more important."

Tang Hao, who had wanted to seize Yu Xiaogang and question him in detail, also set that thought aside upon hearing this.

His son clearly cared a great deal about Xiao Wu.

"Little San, you don't need to worry too much about Xiao Wu."

"In my view, these are all necessary trials. Have you forgotten the gods of the Primordial World? There must be an Earth God near Nine Demon Cave as well. I believe those gods of the Primordial World would never stand by and let these demon beasts run wild."

"As long as Xiao Wu passes this trial, she might even turn misfortune into a blessing."

Tang San's eyes, previously filled with panic, immediately lit up.

"As expected of my teacher! How could I have forgotten that?"

As he spoke, Tang San looked toward the Light Screen.

"Xiao Wu will definitely be fine. The Earth God of Nine Demon Cave will definitely save her. When the time comes, as long as Xiao Wu is a little more polite, she might get a cultivation method too. She might even become a god!"

Seeing that his words still worked, Flat-top felt satisfied. He had to make sure Tang San could not do without him.

Flender's expression, however, was a little strange.

If things really developed that way, wouldn't his student Ma Hongjun become a clown?

Flender looked toward Ma Hongjun's livestream, and the next instant, his jaw dropped.

"What are those monks doing?"
