The Ritual Must Go On

In the shrine of Tutlam, Zhang Xuezhou's sacrifice lasted for eight Heaven Eight nights.

The array flags prevented the sacrificed Turcolando from escaping the formation, and also prevented outsiders from entering.

If one has a keen sense of aura, one can perceive the fluctuations of various powers that permeate both inside and outside the array flags.

The Scarlet Alliance State naturally wouldn't cause any trouble, but Turkalando was worried about his mother and called out Zhang Xuezhou's name dozens of times, only to be politely persuaded to leave by many people.

Surrounded by the banners, Turcolando went from the excitement of delusion to calm, then to anxiety, and finally to the fear of starving and thirsting.

In the end, Zhang Hao couldn't bear to see it any longer and guided Turcolando in practicing the Grain Avoidance Instruction, hoping that every extra day would help. After all, Zhang Xuezhou's lucid periods were only so long, and Turcolando could hold on until Zhang Xuezhou lay down.

This timeframe has been supporting Turcolando, who is unable to break free from the flag.

From extreme longing to near despair after a ritual, Turcolando's feelings were hard to describe.

Fortunately, her practice of the Grain Avoidance Instruction went very smoothly. When the water mist was sprayed in the shrine, Turcolando even felt like she was drinking water while practicing the Grain Avoidance Instruction.

"It's finally over!"

A series of explosions rang out, and the shrine seemed to be illuminated by a high-powered golden searchlight, bursting forth with golden light.

Turcolando's body trembled, and he felt as if countless golden stars were spinning before his eyes.

Her body, which had been holding on for so long, could no longer hold on, and she stumbled and collapsed.

"How can Corlando, who has only been Speaker for a few days, possess such extraordinary fortune?"

When his gaze swept over the dissipating golden light of fortune, Zhang Hao could hardly contain his surprise.

He reached out and grabbed at the golden light, but the light, like a mischievous child, only swirled in his palm for a moment before dissipating, making it difficult to determine whether he had been touched by its power.

"Xuezhou actually withdrew from the ceremony because the array flags couldn't withstand the pressure!"

Although Turcolando was in a terrible state and almost starved to death among the array flags, Zhang Xuezhou had Grain Avoidance Instruction and was not afraid of hunger, so he could continue to carry out the sacrificial ceremony for a long time.

Zhang Hao found it hard to imagine that Turcolando could provide such a vast amount of good fortune; it seemed unbelievable to him.

"Saati, is my mother dying?!"

"You won't die!"

Turkalando exclaimed in surprise, then quickly stepped forward and took the person Zhang Xuezhou was helping.

"It seems that the teacher's Grain Avoidance Instruction on fasting and dieting have actually benefited Kolando in some ways!"

If the team members are capable enough, Zhang Xuezhou doesn't need to worry about the unexpected consequences of neglecting them.

It is difficult for a normal person to practice the Grain Avoidance Instruction, and the constraints of the Realm Technique will also have an impact. In order to practice the Supreme Purity True Technique, Tuerkelando has practiced the Realm Technique a lot over the years, so the foundation for learning the Grain Avoidance Instruction is not a problem. What's left is to endure extreme hunger and make the process go smoothly enough.

After examining it, Zhang Xuezhou felt that Turkelando's Grain Avoidance Instruction had reached the fourth level.

This level of hunger isn't much, but it won't kill you even if you starve for Heaven Eight days.

"Let's hold the ceremony in two weeks!"

"Do we still need to hold a ceremony?"

Zhang Xuezhou was quite pleased to see that Turcolando could withstand hunger, which meant he could continue his sacrificial faith. As long as Hu Yu maintained a constant challenging mentality, he could continuously deplete Hu Yu's world origin power in this way.

Without direct contact, Zhang Xuezhou can still weaken his opponent.

Zhang Xuezhou had never imagined such a good thing; he felt his luck was so good that it was almost unbelievable.

In short, things are going incredibly well for him right now; Zhang Xuezhou's life has rarely been this smooth.

By simply focusing his mind, Zhang Xuezhou could even sense that sixteen more Qi Luck Beads had appeared in his Fortune Technique space.

The Qi Luck Pearls that Xuanming had been longing for and had even spent a century in a war to overthrow his kingdom to collect, Zhang Xuezhou could easily produce in large quantities.

Although he wasn't sure what special effects these luck beads had, Zhang Xuezhou felt that there was no harm in collecting more of them.

If there were no need to travel back to the Three Realms, and if Turcolando's body could sustain it, Zhang Xuezhou would even use the array flags again to advance the sacrificial ceremony.

"Take good care of yourself for the next two weeks," Zhang Xuezhou advised. "Make sure you get enough nutrition before the next ceremony, or bring some food and drink with you. It's best to prepare everything you need for washing and excretion all at once!"

"Saati, why does my mother need to perform these rituals continuously? Is she seriously ill?" Turkalando asked worriedly.

"Kolando isn't sick; she genuinely has the potential to enjoy the benefits for a long time," Zhang Xuezhou said earnestly. "The sacrifices to Grean, Nagus, and Li Yingbo were all based on luck and difficult to replicate, but Kolando has the potential to benefit repeatedly!"

"Can I really... really benefit from this and become wealthy?" Turkelland asked breathlessly.

"Whether something can be repeated and beneficial depends on your own seven-tenths effort, but whether you become successful still depends on your own hard work!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded seriously, and only then did Turkelando, panting, lie down and quickly begin receiving dietary therapy.

To be fair, aside from not having eaten or drunk anything and being unable to move around, Turcolando hadn't lacked sleep, and her wounds had already stopped bleeding and even healed.

Aside from being extremely hungry and feeling weak, Turcolando didn't really suffer any adverse effects.

Especially with Zhang Hao's guidance, Turkelando felt that she had broken through the limits of human endurance for thirst and hunger under conditions of no water and no food, which made her feel both fearful and excited.

Turkorando even looked forward to Zhang Xuezhou's sacrificial ceremony fifteen days later.

"Saati, my mother has to work seven-tenths of the way, what about the rest?" Turkalando asked in a low voice.

"Leave the remaining 93 points to luck!"

"What?"

When Turkalando asked in a low voice, she was worried that Zhang Xuezhou was hiding the truth. She didn't expect that Zhang Xuezhou was hiding such a sentence.

Can my mom get into the Seventh Sequence?

"The Seventh Sequence isn't difficult; she just needs to communicate with Li Yingbo and then go to North Rehe to queue up!"

"How difficult is it for me to become Seventh Sequence?"

"If you have more opportunities to communicate with An Ran in the future, reaching the Seventh Sequence won't be difficult either!"

"My sister and I are very close!"

Having learned the information from Zhang Xuezhou, Turkalando's heart pounded, and she felt as if she were sneaking around through a back door.

To Turkalando, Zhang Xuezhou was still the familiar young genius. Zhang Xuezhou, Ren Anran, and others were also striving to rise in the ranks, thus becoming members or temporary members of the Scarlet Alliance State Committee. As for her adoptive father, Ren Yisheng, he had gained nothing and could only make ends meet by relying on the Jishi Medical Group, which was barely making ends meet.

While everyone was still developing, Turkalando didn't waste any time or effort.

She inherited the chief's power, but found it difficult to travel for long periods, and ultimately spent more than a decade in Tutlam, feeling resentful.

Summoning her courage, she asked a few questions. She felt that Zhang Xuezhou and his group had finally made a lot of progress in the Scarlet Alliance State, even daring to make unfounded promises about the Seventh Sequence.
