"You're here to see Master too?" Xiao Yifeng's tone was unfriendly.

Chu Xiu turned his head to look at his "cheap second disciple."

His narrow, enchanting eyes held a hint of a smile.

He didn't speak, just quietly stared into his disciple's eyes.

He could sense that this "cheap" disciple harbored murderous intent towards him.

That kind of look, Old Demon Chu had seen far too many times in his life.

"Master is currently meeting with Senior Brother Qi Ming, he won't see you. I advise you to leave," Xiao Yifeng sneered disdainfully.

"Second Junior Brother~"

Xiao Yifeng's sneer froze on his face.

In a low voice, he said, "Chu Xiu, do you think you're so great just because you broke the ancient limit?"

"No matter how strong you are, you're still in the Wheel Sea Realm, while I'm in the Divine Ability Realm, nearly four major realms above you."

"In my eyes, you're just an ant I can crush with a flick of my finger. What are you putting on airs for in front of me? What are you so proud of? So arrogant?"

"Second Junior Brother~" Chu Xiu seemed incapable of getting angry, his smile remained warm.

"You..."

Xiao Yifeng's eyes turned red, and he growled, "Stop calling me Second Junior Brother, or I might not be able to resist killing you right now."

"Second Junior Brother..."

Xiao Yifeng placed his left hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

His entire body radiated killing intent, unabashedly directed at Chu Xiu.

In the end, he suppressed his urge to act, letting out a cold laugh.

He closed his eyes, refusing to look at Chu Xiu's annoying smile.

"We're dear friends and family... there's no need for such hostility, really~" Chu Xiu looked helpless, patting his cheap disciple's shoulder.

"You have to believe, I love you all."

Xiao Yifeng's face twitched violently.

A wave of energy surged out, pushing Old Demon Chu half a meter away.

"Heh heh~"

Chu Xiu wasn't angry, he cheerfully brushed off nonexistent dust from his robe.

He stepped towards the main entrance of the grand hall.

Xiao Yifeng snorted coldly but didn't stop him.

He sneered inwardly.

Master is discussing matters with Senior Brother Qi Ming, and this guy Chu Xiu is so clueless, barging in uninvited. He's bound to be scolded by Master, and might even incur Qi Ming's wrath!!

Xiao Yifeng was happy to see this happen.

【Heh heh... Host, what happened to dear friends and family? You turn around and poison people?... That's damn dark!】

Chu Xiu stepped up the stone steps outside the hall, a gentle smile on his lips.

"Just so happens I've been experimenting with the Nether Demon Poison these days. Since we're all dear friends and family, contributing to my experiment shouldn't be a problem, right?"

【Heh heh...】

【It's miserable to encounter someone like you...】

Chu Xiu turned back to find Xiao Yifeng looking at him with a cold smile.

Their eyes met.

"System, look how happy he is."

【Heh heh... I just wonder if he'll still be able to smile in a few days when he can't lift his head, ha ha ha...】

"Maybe he'll be even happier..."

The Pill Scripture truly lives up to being an Emperor's Scripture, it's really profound. I've been studying it for days and can barely touch the threshold. And the 'Xing' Secret is damn hard to comprehend.

"Ah, I miss the days of cheating, it's only the fifth day!"

While pondering where to get some good stuff to exchange for breakthrough points, he overheard a conversation.

"Aunt, you must help me..."

"Otherwise, it will really be too late."

"You're Chu Xiu's master, as long as you ask, he'll definitely give you the Emperor's Silver Sand."

Inside the grand hall.

On the Lotus Throne, Qi Mengdie wore a pure white dress, her face covered by a bronze fox mask, exuding a Great Sage aura. Her beautiful eyes looked at her nephew below, full of helplessness.

"Ming'er, it's not that Aunt doesn't want to help you."

"Even though I'm Chu Xiu's master, there's no reason to ask him for something without cause."

She had just finished speaking when she noticed Chu Xiu's arrival.

Her brows furrowed instantly.

This rebellious disciple is becoming more and more unruly.

Sigh!!

What can I do with him?

As long as he doesn't bully me, he's being "filial" enough!

"Ming'er, you want the Emperor's Silver Sand?"

Chu Xiu, with a handsome face, walked in step by step, exuding an extraordinary demeanor, his smile as warm as a spring breeze.

Qi Ming turned around, delighted to see him: "Chu Xiu, you're here."

"Did you give the Emperor's Silver Sand to Chu Xiaoran?"

As for Chu Xiu's use of "Ming'er," he was too excited to notice.

Fairy Mengdie, however, caught on, her beautiful eyes glaring at this rebellious disciple.

Ming'er is not for you to call!

Chu Xiu ignored his master's warning gaze, smiling and shaking his head: "I've been in seclusion these days and haven't seen Junior Sister Xiaoran."

Qi Ming was overjoyed, excitedly grabbing Chu Xiu's shoulder: "Then do you still have the Emperor's Silver Sand?"

"Yes~" Chu Xiu nodded, waving his hand, and a piece of Emperor's Silver Sand, glowing with a faint light, appeared in his hand.

Qi Ming's eyes lit up, reaching out to grab it.

Chu Xiu dodged...

"This thing I painstakingly retrieved from the Endless Sea of Flames..."

"Heh heh, sorry, sorry, I got excited." Qi Ming came to his senses, realizing his loss of composure.

It wasn't entirely his fault; he wanted the Emperor's Silver Sand to threaten Chu Xiaoran, to make that proud woman kneel and beg at his feet.

The thought of that scene made Qi Ming shiver with excitement...

"Alright, Chu Xiu, name your price."

Qi Ming waved his hand grandly, almost as if the words "I'm a rich man" were written on his face.

Chu Xiu smiled and nodded, "How about one million high-grade Essence Stones per piece?"

"Uh...." Qi Ming was stunned, suspicious.

Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawread.com ].

Not because he thought Chu Xiu's price was too high, but because it was too low...

He had expected to be heavily extorted, but Chu Xiu was so reasonable.

"Chu Xiu... you're really a good person." Qi Ming was so moved he almost cried.

"It's nothing, Ming'er, you're Master's nephew, and also my... ahem!" Noticing a certain fairy's fiery gaze, "We're all dear friends and family!"

"Yes, we're dear friends and family!"

Qi Ming nodded heavily, deeply moved.

He took out a storage pouch containing one million high-grade Essence Stones and traded it to Chu Xiu.

Then, he solemnly put away the Emperor's Silver Sand.

"Aunt, I'll..." He was about to bid farewell to his aunt.

The next moment, he saw Chu Xiu holding another piece of black, glowing stone.

He rubbed his eyes, took out his own piece to compare, and confirmed that Chu Xiu had another piece of Emperor's Silver Sand.

"Damn, you have more?"

Qi Ming almost jumped.

"...Ming'er, do you want more?" Chu Xiu's smile was gentle.

On the Lotus Throne, Fairy Mengdie saw the sunny smile on her rebellious disciple's face and trembled, her red lips parted, wanting to say, "Nephew, run..." but she didn't know how to say it.

"I want..." Qi Ming gritted his teeth and nodded, he had to monopolize the Emperor's Silver Sand.

Otherwise, how could he threaten that woman Chu Xiaoran?

He traded another million high-grade Essence Stones with Chu Xiu.

Qi Ming breathed a sigh of relief, ready to leave.

His eyes widened as Chu Xiu took out yet another piece of Emperor's Silver Sand and tossed it playfully!

"Chu Xiu, are you messing with me? How much do you have?" Qi Ming exploded, and if he still didn't realize Chu Xiu was playing him, he'd be truly foolish.

Qi Mengdie covered her forehead, sighing repeatedly in her heart.

Chu Xiu looked genuinely surprised.

"You never said how much you wanted!"

‘Cough cough~’ Qi Ming was so angry his face turned beet red: "You...."

"How much do you have!!"

"Why didn't you say so earlier! Why didn't you say so earlier...."

The next moment, a total of over two hundred pieces of Emperor's Silver Sand piled up like a small mountain at Chu Xiu's feet.

"Counting the one in my hand, there are 202 pieces in total. I swear on Master's name! I don't have any more, really." Chu Xiu said with a "serious face."

The only use for Emperor's Silver Sand is to cure the Nether Demon Poison, and the two pieces he held had no other use, so they couldn't threaten Chu Xiaoran....

If he still wanted to monopolize it, he glanced at the small mountain of Emperor's Silver Sand at Chu Xiu's feet.

Qi Ming instantly wore a mask of pain, tears streaming from his eyes... his heart full of unwillingness... extreme unwillingness!!

But alas, he only had over 100,000 Essence Stones left...

Fairy Master:....... This rebellious disciple, his heart is blacker than coal!!
