——”If I could get a few more pine nuts like these, Bai Xiaozhao’s realm could break through to Fifth Grade, possessing eight hundred years of demonic power.”

Chu Xisheng heard this and couldn’t help but laugh,”This is Divine Blood Essence. No matter how mystical the Blood Pine is, it cannot fully refine the Divine Power within. Such things do not benefit from excessive consumption. Amongst us, only Little Xuanwu can afford not to care. As for you, two are enough.”

Zhou Liangchen also nodded in firm agreement,”There’s a saying ‘You cannot take all the profit, enjoy all the blessings, or expend all the power.’ These rare treasures of the world do not grow easily; it takes a hundred years just to produce a single one, even the brainless Evil Beasts cherish them immensely. Since we cannot consume more, we might as well save them for those who come after us.”

Next up were the ores collected from the summit of Gold and Silver Mountain.

Everyone simultaneously opened their bags and took out the darkest ores to hand over to Chu Xisheng.

This was a unique treasure of the Gold Element from the Time Secret Realm known as ‘Time Origin Mysterious Gold’, a top-level Fourth Grade refining material.

It is said that the darker the color, the better the quality, and the more abundant the enclosed Temporal Power.

This time, everyone depended on Chu Xisheng for distracting the Eight-Armed Giant Monster, which allowed them to obtain these ores and pine nuts.

Chu Xisheng exerted the most effort and was therefore entitled to take the best portion for himself.

He took five pieces of pitch-dark ores from each person, amassing a full sack.

Luckily, during the first layer of the Secret Realm, he had purposefully collected plenty from others; otherwise, this sack would not have sufficed.

Xue Tingyou was overjoyed,”This time, we are truly fortunate to have been illuminated by Junior Brother Chu’s presence. With these ‘Time Origin Mysterious Gold’ ores, plus the materials we collected earlier, it’s more than enough for us to refine a Fourth Grade weapon, and with plenty to spare. Just these materials alone are worth at least a million taels of Demon Silver in the outside world. And materials related to Time Order for Magic Artifacts that money can’t buy.”

He then remembered something,”Right, I also took a good number of pine needles, which can be used for brewing tea. It’s said that these pine needles, after boiling in water, can be taken for mental tranquility and are greatly beneficial to our Primordial Spirit cultivation. I’ll brew some for you to try.”

He too was eager and would act upon a thought.

Among those present, Zhou Liangchen specialized in the Water Element and also cultivated in Geng Metal and Thunder Power, while Fierce Sword Guo Nu was a practitioner of both Thunder Fire.

Gathering Water and kindling fires were no problem for them.

Leng Chanra, with sharp eyes, took a piece of jade from the nearby mountain and shaped it into a teacup.

Soon after, everyone held a cup of tea and comfortably enjoyed drinking pine needle tea on the back of Little Xuanwu.

As Chu Xisheng sipped his tea, he concentrated and sensed that the pine needle tea was indeed effective, calming his mind, clarifying his consciousness, and making his thoughts crisp and comfortable.

Paired with tea, the ‘Nine Wheel Divine Chart’ cultivation would yield twice the result with half the effort.

Furthermore, the taste of the pine needle tea was excellent, refreshing and sweet, invigorating to one’s spirit.

It was only a pity that Little Xuanwu’s shell was limited in size; after carrying those thirty-three thousand Blood Pine Nuts, there was no room for anything else. Zhou Liangchen collected some pine needles, too, but only six bags, which probably wouldn’t last until they left.

And after this little guy grew to the size of a windmill, his growth rate noticeably slowed down.

Chu Xisheng couldn’t help but feel a great pity,”These pine needles could have been taken in greater quantity. Such a waste. If only we had a Void Magic Ring. I wonder into whose hands Fang Bu Yuan’s Void Magical Artifact has fallen?”

As he spoke, he carefully observed everyone’s expressions.

Leng Chanra appeared as usual, unaffected, while the rest showed no particular changes but shared in the regret and anger towards the Assassin who killed Fang Bu Yuan.

Wind and Thunder Ancient Sword, however, seemed indifferent,”Speaking of Brother Fang, Chu Ming’s two Daoist associates also seem quite suspicious. By the way, I wonder how Chu Ming is now?”

Guo Nu immediately let out a cold laugh,”That woman is extremely selfish, not one of us. Why do you care about her?”

No sooner had his voice faded than Chu Xisheng heard a familiar voice coming from afar.

“Brother Chu, I’m really envious of your Xuanwu Beast.”

Chu Xisheng looked into the distance and saw a figure swiftly approaching from afar.

The person arriving was the ‘Wind Blade and Electric Sword’ Ren Zhongshou from the Guiyuan Sword Sect.

Chu Xisheng smiled upon hearing this; while he was envious of others having a Void Magical Artifact, others were envious of his Xuanwu Beast’s carrying abilities.

He immediately rested his hand on his waist-bound sword, as the ‘Nine Heavens Thought Wheel’ behind him began to slowly rotate.

Chu Xisheng had no intention of drawing his sword, but his gaze grew cold as he directed a majestic Sword Intent straight at Ren Zhongshou’s Divine Soul.

Back on the first layer, this man had put Chu Xisheng in a tight spot, forcing him to let people from the Guiyuan Sword Sect into the second layer of the Secret Realm.

Chu Xisheng felt slightly irked about that. Although he now had to consider the rules of the Jianghu and couldn’t kill Ren Zhongshou, he could still teach him a lesson and make him suffer a little.

Ren Zhongshou also instantly let out a muffled grunt and then, bearing Chu Xisheng’s Sword Intent, landed on Little Xuanwu’s shell like a whirlwind.

He was pale with a pained smile,”Brother Chu, this is hardly hospitable. I came to exchange some information with you. Could you please withdraw your Divine Skills?”

Chu Xisheng gazed steadily at Ren Zhongshou.

He thought that Hidden Blade valued this man highly for a reason.
