Zhou Shiyu immediately looked at Xu Shu with a skeptical gaze, refusing as she said, "You’re not planning to go... no, I need to supervise you."

Xu Shu replied, "Suit yourself, later you should go to the hospital and tell Mom about tomorrow’s arrangements, but don’t mention anything about tonight, got it? Don’t worry them."

"As if I need you to tell me, I would never talk nonsense to my mom about it, then I’ll go pack some clothes."

"Okay, take your time, there’s no rush."

He planned to sleep at a hotel, because Xu Shu actually wanted to study the Curse Crystal he had just acquired and needed a private space.

It wouldn’t work here; their beds were like those in a university dormitory, separated only by curtains hanging over each one, offering poor privacy.

Though his sister was nice, it was enough that she occasionally knew a bit about what was going on. He couldn’t possibly share every secret with her.

Moreover, he couldn’t sleep well in this house’s environment; lately, he had been staying outside under bridge arches or by the city walls.

He might as well move out, and since there was no difference between leaving early or late, he might as well leave sooner.

It was still early evening, around seven or eight o’clock.

The two packed some clothes, filled two suitcases, one for each, and left the new home they had been living in for two years.

First, they took a tram to the hospital to briefly inform their parents of the upcoming schedule.

When the topic of moving back to their original home so soon came up, their foster mother Li Guoying was a bit incredulous.

She felt that money should be spent on essential things, like treating her husband’s illness.

However, Zhou Junjie, with his sharp insight, guessed that the assistance Xu Shu mentioned wasn’t from just any influential figure. Knowing his son had made something of himself, he naturally felt relieved and told Xu Shu to go forth and be bold in his pursuits.

His physical condition was still weak, and by eight or nine in the evening, he was already needing to go to bed.

The night was still spent with his foster mother keeping vigil.

Xu Shu knew that the couple were truly in love and did not want to live apart, and that Zhou Shiyu was only an unexpected occurrence.

Naturally, he wouldn’t interfere with them, so he took his sister to the hotel they had stayed at for one night before—this was also the cheapest one they could find in the safety zone.

After checking into two adjacent rooms, he instructed her to knock on the wall three times if anything came up and, once his sister was settled, Xu Shu quickly returned to his own room.

He locked the door and drew the curtains.

Xu Shu joyfully took out the Curse Crystal he had just obtained and held it up to the light.

It was entirely purple, with spirals of purple mist, swirling and fluctuating unpredictably.

Besides that, there were spell inscriptions, whose meanings could not be discerned, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

All purple! A noble purple!

"Haha, excellent! It’s like finding what you didn’t know you were searching for without any effort."

After a thorough check and complete confirmation that it was a genuine Flawless Level Purple Curse Crystal, and not the ’half-purple’ one from the Wasteland claimed by Ao Yaolin, the smile on Xu Shu’s lips became harder to suppress than an AK’s recoil.

Then, he opened his inventory and took out two items, laying them neatly on the bed.

From left to right, the items were ① Purple Curse Crystal—② Gold "Doctor" emblem—③ Gold Mystical Chapter [Bloodline Resonance].

Following the "one rank lower at most" rule given by the Tai Chu Scroll, the Purple Curse Crystal was enough to synthesize with the gold emblem to craft an Epic Curse Seal.

Xu Shu had tried with the nearly purple one before and was just a bit short of success, so was very confident that this rule was viable.

Once the "Doctor" Curse Seal was synthesized, he could use the Mystical Chapter [Bloodline Resonance] to inscribe an attribute.

In time, this dual attribute Curse Seal as both "Doctor" and "Martial Artist," when given to his alt character Wang Teng, would naturally solve the problem of not being able to consolidate the First Phase of the Nine Phases Diagram.

How could Xu Shu, who thought he would have to go through great efforts to obtain a suitable Purple Curse Seal, not be thrilled?

He refrained from rushing to synthesize and instead put the emblem and Mystical Chapter back into his inventory, and wrapped the Curse Crystal separately, placing it to one side.

Once the Curse Seal was synthesized, it could not be put back into the Tai Chu Scroll’s inventory.

Besides, he couldn’t determine whether having both Doctor and Martial Artist as Epic would be an issue should he reach the fifth rank in the future.

Although his son Wang Teng was born a Vajra, one capable of achieving the terrifying union of "Warrior," "Doctor," and "Martial Artist" and with "Legendary" as the primary rank.

But who knew if being a fifth-rank Doctor would have any effects?

After all, Epic is a huge divide.

"Can’t be negligent about this, but no need to be anxious either, it can wait for another day."

Xu Shu certainly wasn’t in a rush to decide hastily.

Next, he slightly arched his hips to spark the Promotion Drive and opened the light screen interface in front of him.

*Promotion Network!

*Gu Pan (Tai Chu), First-tier Warrior

*Contribution: 8

"Heh, as expected, killing him doesn’t increase Contribution Points."

Xu Shu scoffed coldly.

Although he didn’t understand what this strange thing was, he had prior experience that killing Transcendents who came from the Three Deceit Families, Lie Zhenzi would work by the rule of absorbing Promotion Drive information from a fallen human Transcendent and would identify the information in the fallen one’s Curse Crystal.

In a sense, Xu Shu was using Lie Zhenzi’s ability as a true eye for himself.

At this moment, there was indeed new information flashing in the bottom-left corner: —

[You have defeated/killed another Transcendent. You may choose whether to upload your battle achievement to the Promotion Network. Exceptional records have the chance to improve your ranking.]

[Your current ranking: 414th on the Qingyun List, alias: Ground Steel Rhino, Gu Pan!]

[You have picked up another Transcendent’s Promotion Drive... Correction, you have picked up a Curse Crystal; identified as: blank, not a registered Transcendent in the Promotion Network.]

[Information entry completed: Fudivorth, first-tier Unclean... Special status detected, authorization requested from Lie Zhenzi, information being corrected...]

[Information confirmation completed: You have killed a Demon Chosen!]

[Chosen Ones are the great bane of the Human Clan, hunting Chosen Ones contributes greatly to humanity!]

[Opponent rank: First Rank!]

[You will receive additional Contribution Points: 100 points! Rewards are delayed and will automatically be granted to you within 24 hours! Thank you for your great contribution to the revival of humanity!]

"Ah?" Xu Shu.
