I Just Want To Destroy The Sect, But How Did I Become A God Against All Odds
Chapter 213: Mixed fruit-flavored beverage

The auction of the Wuxiang Heart Sutra put Chu Xinghe in a great mood. If it weren't for being caught by the Great Elder to refine two hundred furnaces of pills, he reckoned he'd be even happier.

"I wish you prosperity, Golden Crow Auction... I wish you brilliance, Golden Crow Auction House..."

Humming a cheerful tune, Chu Xinghe planned to head back to his room to sleep, but halfway there, he ran into Senior Brother Feng Fei.

As expected, Senior Brother Feng Fei looked much better these days, with the appearance of someone in love.

"Junior Brother Xinghe, you're in such a good mood? Looks like you're going with the Great Elder to the Golden Crow Auction House?"

"Don't worry, Senior Brother, I will definitely bring back the Wuxiang Heart Sutra for you!" Chu Xinghe declared resolutely.

"Haha... Junior Brother, don't be careless. Everyone knows our Grand Sky Sect is wealthy; they might join forces against us."

"That would be great... ahem... I mean, how overconfident of them!"

Chu Xinghe was overjoyed. What was this nonsense?

Senior Brother Feng Fei, why are you suddenly speaking so auspiciously?

Isn't this exactly what I've been dreaming of?

If they all stay silent, how am I supposed to bid high?

If all the sects in the world unite, I'd kneel and thank all the generous folks.

If our Grand Sky Sect had to face the whole world alone, wouldn't we go bankrupt on the spot? Then I, Chu Xinghe, would instantly become a Martial God.

Then, as Martial God Chu Xinghe, I'd lead everyone to rebuild the Grand Sky Sect and soar to new heights.

"Junior Brother Xinghe, you... haha..." Feng Fei smiled broadly.

"Senior Brother Feng, why are you in such a good mood lately? Is your wife coming to see you?"

At the mention of his wife, Feng Fei blushed and said, "Junior Brother, you don't know, but unlike you, I'm free and single. The Great Elder and Dark Rigid's Holy Mother have decided to move the wedding up to this year. Soon, I won't be alone anymore..."

Chu Xinghe: "???"

Senior Brother Feng Fei, just a moment ago, I praised your way with words, and now you're not only no longer alone... you're really not alone anymore!

What is this? Are you particularly skilled at torturing single people?

"Well, the Great Elder asked me to prepare for the wedding. I didn't care much, thinking anything would do, but Jiu Li is the Holy Maiden of Dark Rigid. If the wedding is too shabby, it might bring shame to our sect..."

Feng Fei continued talking to himself.

But hearing this, the fatigue Chu Xinghe felt from alchemy vanished.

What? Wedding preparations?

Don't look down on me just because I'm single, but I know a thing or two about weddings.

A wedding is all about huge expenses, isn't it? Even ordinary families spend a lot on weddings.

My Senior Brother Feng Fei is marrying the Holy Maiden of Dark Rigid. If we don't throw the grandest wedding in the history of the Blazing Sun Continent, would it do justice to my senior brother? Would it match the status of the Holy Maiden of Dark Rigid?

Indeed, after misfortune ends, good things come in waves.

Thank you, Senior Brother Feng Fei, for the wedding. Rest assured, I'll personally plan it for you.

Our wedding will emphasize luxury!

We'll use whatever's expensive, and make it as grand as possible!

Our goal is to elevate the wedding standards across the entire Blazing Sun Continent!

As for the sect's expenses? Senior Brother Feng Fei, you don't need to worry at all. We're marrying the Holy Maiden of Dark Rigid, so what's wrong with making it grand?

Is it because the Holy Maiden of Dark Rigid isn't beautiful, or her status isn't high enough?

Besides, she's bringing the Gu God's Inheritance as a dowry. Isn't it reasonable for us to be generous?

"Senior Brother Feng Fei, since when do people plan their own weddings? Don't worry, just relax, and I'll take you flying!"

"Junior Brother Xinghe... have you ever even held a girl's hand? Do you have any experience in this?"

Chu Xinghe: "???"

Senior Brother Feng Fei, I'm wholeheartedly helping you, and you stab me in the back with a comment like that? What do you mean I've never held a girl's hand?

You might as well just call me a single dog.

But because of your wedding, I won't hold it against you. Even though I don't understand weddings, I do understand spending money!

As long as there's enough money, anything can be done!

With enough money, we could even have Demon Emperor Wu Xingyun officiate the wedding and Tantai Jing as the bridesmaid!

After agreeing with Senior Brother Feng Fei that I must personally plan the wedding, Chu Xinghe happily returned to his room.

As soon as he reached his room, a thirsty Chu Xinghe picked up a glass of water from the table...

Hmm... who poured this water? It wasn't here when I left...

Never mind... he gulped down the water... Before he could lie down, he felt a heat spreading through his body.

Was he too excited today?

Chu Xinghe quickly took out two high-quality detoxification pills and swallowed them, and soon the heat dissipated, allowing him to sleep peacefully.

Outside... Ouyang Ling was filled with indignation.

"Ugh... Senior Sister from the Eternal Spring Palace is so unreliable! She said it would take effect immediately after consumption, but what is this?"

Ouyang Ling cursed all the way back to the Artifact Refining Palace, while Ouyang Ming listened to his sister's complaints with a sly smile.

Oh, sister... I know exactly what you're up to.

Hmph! You don't deserve Senior Brother Xinghe.

You think I don't know what you've been up to at the Eternal Spring Palace while I've been bedridden?

You underestimate your brother... I went to the Eternal Spring Palace at night too, and even asked Senior Brother for an antidote... As soon as you spiked the drink, I added the antidote!

So it's not that the potion didn't work, it's that you didn't!

You still have a long way to go before you can outsmart me!

You want to harm Senior Brother Xinghe? Not while I'm around!

Days passed quietly yet strangely.

Quiet because misfortune had finally stopped causing trouble... strange because, why was the water getting murkier every night?

Why were there strange potions in my water? And even stranger, why was there an antidote mixed in?

At first, Chu Xinghe suspected someone was poisoning him, but who poisons someone and adds the antidote?

And trying to poison an inheritor of the Medicine Saint seems a bit too far-fetched, doesn't it?

Even though I, Chu Xinghe, openly dislike alchemy, it doesn't mean I'm not skilled at it.

However... drinking this unknown potion and antidote together had a peculiar mixed fruit aroma... now I feel uncomfortable if I don't drink it every day...

Is this a new flavor of drink developed by the Eternal Spring Palace?

And why has Ouyang Ling been running to the Eternal Spring Palace looking so dejected lately?

It's one thing for Ouyang Ling to run there, but why is Ouyang Ming going too?

Forget it, let's not worry about that for now. The day of departure has arrived.

But why are we leaving so early when the auction is still days away?

Soon, Chu Xinghe understood why... because the teleportation array was personally set up by the Great Elder.

Elder He and several elders from the sect who loved teleportation arrays came to observe the Great Elder's setup.

Regarding the Great Elder's teleportation array, Elder He remarked that it had reached a level of simplifying complexity, then complicating simplicity, and simplifying it again. He was on the second level, while the Great Elder was on an unknown level, as Elder He admitted he couldn't understand it at all.

The other elders nodded in agreement, acknowledging the Great Elder's unfathomable skills.

Chu Xinghe didn't know if the Great Elder was unfathomable, but he knew that when the teleportation array's light faded, they were surrounded by dense forest... what the hell...

Weren't we supposed to go to Golden Crow City? Isn't Golden Crow City on a plain?

Why is there a primordial forest?

And are those people with spears dancing over there savages?

Great Elder... are you sure we're using a teleportation array and not time-traveling?

"Great Elder... are you planning to show me the lifestyle of a primitive tribe?"

The Great Elder nodded calmly, indicating that seeing more would enhance one's self-awareness...

Without further ado, they shattered the void and moved on...

By the time they reached Golden Crow City, it was already late at night. It had been a fulfilling day; Chu Xinghe not only saw a primitive tribe but also accidentally glimpsed an ancient glacier... and even took a bath!

Why a bath, you ask... haha... because after the Great Elder got lost shattering the void, they used the teleportation array again, landing in an ice river beneath a glacier.

If it weren't for the Great Elder being with him, Chu Xinghe suspected he would have died there...

The Great Elder explained, saying that one must face various crises to gain more insights between life and death.

Chu Xinghe expressed that he understood and decided that unless the Great Elder was with him, he would never use the Great Elder's teleportation array again.

Moreover, when I return, I'll seek out the Deputy Sect Master to learn about teleportation arrays... this time, I'm sincerely learning, as I can't handle the Great Elder's teleportation arrays anymore...

If I use them a few more times, I might die, and if I do, how would they find my body? The Great Elder's teleportation arrays are lethal, with a built-in feature to destroy evidence!

When Chu Xinghe finally arrived at Golden Crow City, it was late at night, but the deacons were still waiting.

After everyone welcomed the Great Elder, they arranged the best rooms for rest.

Lying in bed, Chu Xinghe sneezed and marveled at the ancient glacier's might...

Reaching for the mixed fruit-flavored water, Chu Xinghe realized this wasn't his room... and wondered if the mixed fruit-flavored water had a sleep-inducing effect, as he found himself a bit insomniac without it.

The night passed without incident, and early the next morning, Chu Xinghe had breakfast with the Great Elder, accompanied by a group of deacons from the Grand Sky Sect's branch.

After breakfast, the deacons presented a summary of the auction's situation to the Great Elder and Chu Xinghe.

Seeing the various explanations in the booklet, the Great Elder's expression turned slightly serious.

Chu Xinghe glanced at the booklet's explanations, suppressing his inner joy!

Senior Brother Feng Fei didn't deceive me; the factions have indeed united!

They know they can't compete with the Grand Sky Sect alone, so they've joined forces... with so many factions fiercely competing, how could I possibly lose this time!
