Speaking of life-saving grace, it might barely count as so.

That day, when the Seeking Death Taoist massacred the Xiao Family, having someone in the Divine Gaze Realm appear in Minzhou City was quite a big deal, and no one could stop it, even Fatty Zhu, the Guardian, was almost crippled!

If it weren’t for Han Yu’s second West River Pill, the Xiao Family might have perished completely.

"Didn’t you lead the Xiao Family to move away?"

Han Yu was curious as to when the Xiao Family returned.

"It was Guardian Zhu who helped."

Xiao Shui made tea for the two again and then began to speak slowly.

The one who warned the Xiao Family to leave quickly that day was also him, and luckily, they listened to him at that time, otherwise, the Xiao Family might have faced the Celestial Water Sect’s revenge directly.

"Is Fatty Zhu that considerate?"

Han Yu was suspicious and then glanced at Xiao Shui, guessing that Fatty Zhu had probably seen Xiao Shui’s potential for the future.

Establishing a good relationship at such a time was definitely offering help in a time of need, more effective than at any other time.

"After escaping Minzhou City, the Xiao Family had been wandering in the Southern Border looking for a place to settle, fortunately maintaining occasional contact with Guardian Zhu, who would promptly provide information on Celestial Water Sect’s movements."

Given Fatty Zhu’s position as a guardian, Celestial Water Sect’s activities in the Southern Border couldn’t escape the notice of the local State City informants, so making Celestial Water Sect unable to find them wasn’t difficult.

Fatty Zhu’s investment was indeed worth it, and now he’s reaped the friendship of a cultivator in the Realm of Transcendence, absolutely making a huge gain.

The only oversight might be that Fatty Zhu didn’t expect to lose out on a spectacle, otherwise with Xiao Shui in Minzhou City, he would have been as stable as a rock.

"I only found out later that Old Zhu also took your pill."

Xiao Shui’s expression turned peculiar at this point, losing thirteen years of Qi Fortune wasn’t this tragic, yet Fatty Zhu, just a year, got himself into a mess after watching a fight, which resulted in him needing emergency care back at the sect.

"After more than half a year, Old Zhu sent me a message, saying Celestial Water Sect was destroyed by you, so I could return with peace of mind."

At this moment, Xiao Shui felt a bit constipated, had Fatty Zhu’s letter arrived a few days later, he was already preparing to charge into Celestial Water Sect alone.

During the more than half a year, after settling the Xiao Family, he went out traveling by himself, and despite various setbacks, it didn’t hinder the continuous improvement of his cultivation.

He had envisioned himself arriving at Celestial Water Sect in various manners and even fantasized about slaughtering everyone and leaving the sect in pieces.

By then, he could have announced his line to the entire Cultivator Realm at the moment of stepping over Celestial Water Sect, "Thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river, never look down on a young man of humble origin."

But then Fatty Zhu’s one letter shattered his dream, as the enemy’s sect had long been wrecked by Han Yu, the whole army annihilated and left in madness.

This was incredibly frustrating; though the revenge was avenged, he didn’t even get a chance to strike when he stepped into the Realm of Transcendence, right at the moment to make a name in the Cultivator Realm.

This feeling was akin to having a fishbone stuck in the throat, incredibly uncomfortable.

"A month ago, upon receiving the letter, I led my people back to Minzhou City to slowly rebuild the Xiao Family."

Xiao Shui sighed, since he couldn’t personally wipe out the Celestial Water Sect, he had to return with his clan to his homeland.

So, Xiao Shui’s appearance in Minzhou City was just a return to the home turf.

"Your hope has fallen through, Young Master Xiao can’t take your West River Pill anymore."

Han Yu teased in the Sea of Consciousness.

The Artifact Spirit was a bit helpless, having sapped all the Qi Fortune from the other party, leaving only Divine Techniques, but this key point was the West River Pill couldn’t provide any benefits to the other party, simply put, Xiao Shui had no value anymore.

"Then why not leave, what are we staying for?"

The Artifact Spirit replied angrily.

Xiao Shui originally planned to entertain the two, but Han Yu, still thinking of the Fire Spirit, declined and left with Ou Mingdong.

After leaving the Xiao Mansion, Ou Mingdong, who hadn’t spoken, curiously asked about Xiao Shui’s background, as he was puzzled about the things he heard inside, only hearing that another person had taken Han Yu’s pill,

Han Yu patiently recounted the story, and Ou Mingdong listened with heartfelt emotion.

"Deserved to die, adulterer and adulteress, breaking the engagement, starting wrongly and ending wrongly."

He couldn’t help but curse through gritted teeth.

Han Yu immediately gave him a big rolling of the eyes, why are you empathizing with someone’s Young Master Xiao getting cuckolded!?

And that wasn’t the point, shouldn’t the point be about them almost getting destroyed?

"Right, after experiencing those things, no wonder the internal defenses are so tight."

Ou Mingdong nodded in a serious manner.

"Is the internal defense really that strict?"

Han Yu turned his head, puzzled.

"It’s considered highly guarded, with dozens of cultivators on the east and west sides, around thirty on the north side, their cultivation slightly better than those at the entrance."

Ou Mingdong nodded his head in agreement.

Han Yu’s expression became surprised; compared to the Xiao Mansion’s guards, Ou Mingdong’s perception was certainly more intriguing.

"Can you sense all this?"

He asked the Artifact Spirit.

"Nonsense, why would I waste time sensing these small fries? But the surname Ou’s perception is indeed peculiar."

The Artifact Spirit rolled its eyes and replied.

"What’s going on with you?"

Han Yu, now curious, directly asked Ou Mingdong.

"Do you mean my perception?"

Ou Mingdong smiled and pointed to his Dantian, where the Divine Spring was located.

"This fellow played around with cultivators every day in White Emperor City, I’ve always been curious about how it quickly located various cultivators, later I asked Wanjun for help to inquire."

"The result was that it directly shared its perception with me, and that’s when I knew this thing had the ability to sense cultivators from a distance."

Previously, the Flying Spring Pill’s effect on the Divine Spring was only summed up in four words: ’Marvelous and at will,’ it turned out to have various abilities!

This certainly wasn’t the limit of the Flying Spring Pill, and who knows the level of accomplishments Ou Mingdong could reach in the future.

Of course, the premise is to have Su Wanjun as a Daoist partner; otherwise, he would be left with nothing, haha!

"Your smile offends me somewhat."

Ou Mingdong frowned watching Han Yu suddenly start laughing.

"That’s your illusion."

Han Yu immediately suppressed his smile and responded.

Then the two wandered around the city for half a day, Ou Mingdong looked up at the sky at this time, noon had almost passed, and hastily bid farewell to Han Yu.

"I’m going out of the city for a bit, my master is dying again, I need to guard a grave, and I’ll come again tomorrow after changing diapers."

Meanwhile, outside Minzhou City.

A group of transcendence cultivators was traveling back and forth through mountains, burrowing into every nook.

Even finding a few Spirit Plants occasionally, yet unable to locate the peculiar Spirit Body that Han Yu described.

"Stay back, I’m dizzy and seeing everything as an anomaly, anything seems to be a Spirit Body."

And when the Unparalleled Tower Great Elder, dragging his now aged body, encountered Elder Luo, the two old rogues started bickering immediately upon seeing each other.

"You’re so old you’re practically in the grave, just stop searching and find somewhere to die; tomorrow, you’ll take off your crotch-less trousers and be a good man once again."

Elder Luo retorted, unwilling to back down in a battle of words, he had nothing to fear.

When Ou Mingdong arrived, he was amused to see two old men quarreling from a distance.

"Shameless old man, wasting time with me, let’s see how you find anything."

The Unparalleled Tower Great Elder cursed happily and before the other could respond, he closed his eyes with a satisfied sigh, taking his last breath.

"You bastard."

Only then did Elder Luo realize he had been played, the other was nearing the end of his life and planned to pull him along to waste time!

Damn sinister.

"Pah!"

Spitting in frustration, Elder Luo quickly left, breaking the air at speed.

The old fellow had sixty years to spare, he could afford it, but Elder Luo couldn’t afford to waste too!
