"Wu Lu, why would the Returning to Origin Sect keep someone so powerful as a mine slave?" Zuo Qinghui asked curiously.

"It's said that when he first arrived, he offended a big shot in the Returning to Origin Sect. Later, he made a name for himself in the fighting arena. That person wanted to kill him but was stopped by his rival. The rival then tried to recruit him as a confidant, but was thwarted at every turn. With both sides in a stalemate, we have the current situation," Wu Lu explained.

"Judging by his appearance, he seems like a body cultivator. Wouldn't the collar restrict his cultivation?" Zuo Qinghui asked again.

"That's where you're mistaken, Zuo. He's a bona fide magic cultivator. His large and muscular build might be due to his mixed heritage of Central Plains and Northern Barbarians. Besides, body cultivators are different from us magic cultivators. Their cultivation is in their physical bodies, and restraining them requires other magical artifacts, not just a collar," Wu Lu said with a smile and a shake of his head.
