Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 524 - 236: In the Northern Emperor Academy, General Wei Breaks Through and Faces an Encounter (3)
A new day, a new beginning.
She quietly walked out of the room, looking at Xu Guang seated beside General Wei.
His eyes were slightly closed, his expression focused, and his hands formed a peculiar Magic Formula in front of him, with a barely visible ethereal glow slowly converging around him.
Wuxiang Tribulation Heart Sutra.
Jiang Zi Yun didn’t disturb him and just stood quietly to the side, watching.
After a while, the core light ball in the room flickered slightly; it was someone coming to the door.
She opened the door.
It was Bai Xiao Zhu.
"Sister Purple Cloud, is my boss here?"
Jiang Zi Yun: ...
"He’s cultivating."
"No wonder the boss is so powerful!" Bai Xiao Zhu muttered to herself, then said excitedly, "I didn’t expect you guys to live on the first floor, and you arrived so fast; I live above you."
Bai Xiao Zhu continued babbling.
As the two women were talking, Xu Guang came out, looking vibrant and full of energy; the cultivation must have been effective.
"Boss!"
Bai Xiao Zhu waved her arms vigorously.
Xu Guang: ...
"Boss, since you’re out, I’ll treat you to dinner."
"Is General Wei joining too?"
Bai Xiao Zhu: ...
She nodded with teary eyes.
Thankfully, she’s somewhat of a rich woman.
"There’s a nice restaurant outside the courtyard; they serve First Grade Demon dishes; let’s go there."
Bai Xiao Zhu seemed very familiar with Beiji City.
Xu Guang didn’t refuse; demon hunters could work alone or in teams, and Cai beside Bai Xiao Zhu had extraordinary abilities; if he were to form a team, she’d be a good choice.
Besides, he needed to buy some Alchemy materials; venturing out was a good idea.
After General Wei’s breakthrough, his size could further shrink to about the level of a golden retriever, making outings less likely to draw excessive attention.
Half an hour later.
The group arrived at a very luxuriously decorated restaurant—Jinxuan Pavilion.
The warm sunshine spilled onto them, making them feel cozy.
Of course, Bai Xiao Zhu didn’t order First Grade Demon dishes, they were too expensive, and Xu Guang didn’t truly intend to exploit her.
He only let her order a few Third Grade Demon dishes.
"Boss, I tell you, it’s said the chefs here are all Alchemists; they treat cooking like Alchemy, and the results are remarkable."
Xu Guang tried a bite, and indeed the effect was exceptional.
One bite was akin to a day of cultivation.
Just a bit pricey.
As they were eating and drinking, preparing to leave, a group of people came in, each with impressive auras, carrying a unique confidence and arrogance typical of aristocrats.
Xu Guang’s eyes narrowed slightly, and Bai Xiao Zhu shrank her neck.
"Boss, that’s Hong Xu."
However, the center of the crowd wasn’t him; like stars surrounding the moon, it was a stern-looking man.
Hong Xu stood at the edge of the crowd, his expression somber.
"The examination this time was thrilling; I didn’t expect so many skilled masters and geniuses in the world."
"It’s a pity Miss Yan chose to join Penglai Palace, but I heard Penglai Palace over there gave Miss Yan substantial benefits. Hong Xu, didn’t you have a good relationship with Miss Yan? Do you know the details?"
Ji Yue Ru teased slightly.
Yan Yun, a thirty-six-year-old Second Grade expert, was betrothed to Hong Xu when they were children, but unfortunately...
Three years ago, Yan Yun broke off the engagement with Hong Xu.
Hong Xu gloomily looked at the speaking Ji Yue Ru, "Ji Yue Ru, are you provoking me?"
Ji Yue Ru knew when to stop and didn’t say much more.
Hong Xu no longer looked at Ji Yue Ru, and at that moment, his gaze fell precisely on Xu Guang’s group coming out from inside.
Immediately, his face grew even darker.
"Xu Guang!"
Ji Yue Ru’s eyes lit up instantly.
The others first glanced at Hong Xu, then at Xiao Chen being the focal point among them, showing playful expressions.
Xu Guang kept a blank expression, as if he didn’t see Hong Xu and calmly walked past him.
Hong Xu didn’t speak either; he wasn’t Xu Guang’s match; provoking now would only be humiliating; he forcefully suppressed his inner anger.
Xiao Chen was the same; it was like no one knew each other as they passed by the door.
After walking far, Bai Xiao Zhu breathed a sigh of relief.
"I almost thought a fight would break out."
"In Beiji City, would they dare to fight?"
"Indeed, on every tall building here, there’s a master above Nirvana; if you start fighting, someone will immediately come out to stop you."
People in the tall buildings would love a fight to happen.
Preventing fights, there are rewards from the Six Institutes of the North Pole; no one would refuse such easy rewards.
Afterward, they strolled around the bustling Beiji City.
Xu Guang found a branch of Baicao Pavilion and took out a contract previously signed with Shopkeeper Tong Yao at the Jingchen Pass branch.
He sold the Elixirs he had refined over this period and bought some raw materials for Alchemy.
Returning to the Bei Emperor Institute, in the square, Xu Guang saw a figure with its head raised to the sky, mouth wide open.
Bai Xiao Zhu showed a strange expression and quickly wanted to leave.
Jiang Zi Yun whispered, "Do you know that person?"
Bai Xiao Zhu looked disgusted, "My foster father’s son, cultivating the techniques of the Criminal Sacrifice Institute."
"Every day, he opens his mouth to the sky; is it a rule he must follow?"
Xu Guang shivered.
Bai Xiao Zhu reluctantly nodded, "The core of the Criminal Sacrifice Institute is cultivating a Black Record within the Divine Soul, where there are rules to strictly adhere to, and his rule..."
"No urinating northward, open mouth to the sky for an hour daily..."
"Too perverse, I’d rather die than cultivate the techniques of the Criminal Sacrifice Institute."
