NOVPUB"It’s fine, I’ve been planning to leave the Sect Gate recently," Xu Zimei nodded as he spoke.
"Leave the Sect Gate?" Huangfu Xianyue frowned slightly and asked, "For what?"
"I want to learn some Vein Skills, but unfortunately, I don’t have any Contribution Value, so I was planning to accept a mission to earn it," Xu Zimei explained.
Huangfu Xianyue pondered for a short while then finally said, "There’s no need for that. I can give you some of my contribution points."
"How could I accept that?" Xu Zimei said with a smile.
"I think you had such intentions," Huangfu Xianyue gave Xu Zimei a look before handing over a Token to him.
"There’s a lot of Contribution Value on this, it should be enough for what you need."
Xu Zimei took the Token and nodded.
"Then that’s settled. Rest for today, and if possible, start tempering your Demon Body tomorrow," Huangfu Xianyue suggested.
"So soon?" Xu Zimei was somewhat surprised.
He felt that Huangfu Xianyue was even more eager than he was.
"After all, I haven’t done this before, so I want to try it out on you," Huangfu Xianyue replied.
"Then let’s do it tomorrow," Xu Zimei nodded in agreement.
"The situation within the Sect is somewhat complicated, and there are many powerful factions like ours. Just don’t get involved in any trouble," Huangfu Xianyue cautioned.
After chatting for a few more moments, Huangfu Xianyue left.
Meanwhile, Xu Zimei took her Token to the One Realm Pavilion.
Descending from Divine Maiden Peak, the Sect was vast and walking took time, so flying within the Sect Gate was permitted.
When Xu Zimei arrived at the One Realm Pavilion, he found the way that the Realm Emperor Divine Sect named some of its buildings quite interesting.
Things like the One Realm Pavilion, Two Realm Pavilion, Three Realm Pavilion, and so on.
They represented Vein Skills, weapons, and Pills.
The so-called One Realm Pavilion was a bit like a realm within a realm.
Within the realm domain, another realm was born, specifically for storing Vein Skills.
When Xu Zimei took out the Token, the disciple guarding the door opened the Spatial Gate, allowing him to enter the One Realm Pavilion.
The pavilion had three floors, and upon entering the first floor, Xu Zimei saw that many things were created by the realm space.
Even the Vein Skills were stored in cabinets formed by the realm space.
Inside, a few Disciples were scattered about, flipping through and searching for Vein Skills to their liking.
Xu Zimei wanted to find the Fusion Method for Blood Lizard, so he didn’t look at the Vein Skills, but instead he went through some books on the history of the Realm Emperor Divine Sect.
However, the yield was meager, as the Fusion Method wouldn’t likely be found on the first floor.
Contemplating, he decided to head to the second floor.
Still, two Disciples stopped him, "Please show your identity Token."
Xu Zimei thought that with his own Token, he likely didn’t have the right to enter the second floor, so he took out Huangfu Xianyue’s Token.
"How comes the Saintess’s Token is with you," one disciple muttered, but still opened the entrance.
Upon entering the second floor, the space was smaller compared to the first floor.
The atmosphere was also quieter, with the color around changing from white to blue.
Xu Zimei searched, but still found no results.
"This is troublesome," the Token from Huangfu Xianyue didn’t have access to the third floor.
Perhaps the Fusion Method for Blood Lizard was either on the third floor or had been hidden separately.
He had to find a way to make the Realm Emperor Divine Sect reveal the Fusion Method; otherwise, it would be very difficult to find.
After leaving the One Realm Pavilion, Xu Zimei returned to his little courtyard.
The sky had gradually darkened, but within the Realm Emperor Divine Sect, the scene was still bustling with excitement.
Disciples drew in the power of moonlight while colossal beasts strode over the mountains.
Bathed in the bright moonlight that showered the courtyard, Xu Zimei lay on a reclining chair, quietly watching the moon.
......
"Xian’er told me you had arrived. I’ve been so busy this afternoon that I haven’t had time to meet you," a voice suddenly sounded from beside him.
Xu Zimei turned his head and saw Huangfu Xuan walking in from the doorway.
"We’re hardly acquainted, Crimson King, your courtesy is too much," said Xu Zimei, sitting up with a smile.
"Actually, I had a good opinion of you before. Even though I don’t know what purpose brought you to the Realm Emperor Divine Sect, you are welcome here," Huangfu Xuan said with a smile.
"I also hope you can become good friends with Xian’er."
"Don’t worry, Crimson King. I have no intentions towards your daughter, and I won’t interfere with her marriage matters," Xu Zimei said, shaking his head slightly.
Having met the Crimson King only once before, Xu Zimei knew that the man’s special visit wasn’t out of friendship.
He just feared that his presence might interfere with the relationship between Huangfu Xianyue and the Eternal Ancient Divine Sect.
"I believe you," Huangfu Xuan said with a laugh, "In truth, some things are beyond my control. As a father, who doesn’t wish for their daughter to be happy?"
"No need to explain, Crimson King. I am but a passerby," Xu Zimei said, gesturing with his hand.
Huangfu Xuan nodded slightly and eventually faded into the darkness.
A silent night passed, and the next morning, Huangfu Xianyue came to the small courtyard where Xu Zimei resided.
She had her maidservant place a large vat in Xu Zimei’s courtyard.
When Xu Zimei came out, he saw the vat was filled with a green liquid.
Thick and odorless.
"What is this?" asked Xu Zimei.
He could feel an intense energy emanating from it.
"Spiritual Energy Liquid. Quickly sit inside," said Huangfu Xianyue.
Xu Zimei shook his head slightly, seated himself in the vat, and was instantly surrounded by a surge of spiritual energy.
Suddenly, Huangfu Xianyue took out a small bottle containing a black liquid.
"This is concocted from those Demonic Skills Mysterious Medicine for you. It will hurt a bit at the start; just bear with it," said Huangfu Xianyue.
When she poured the liquid into the vat, the Spiritual Energy Liquid inside began to boil.
All of it surged into Xu Zimei’s body.
"How is it? What does it feel like?" Huangfu Xianyue asked anxiously.
Xu Zimei felt nothing, as such a small amount of spiritual energy was insignificant to him. But to pretend, he slightly furrowed his brows and said, "It hurts a bit, and it’s quite warm."
"That’s about right. You need to absorb all its power. After three days, we can begin the second stage," Huangfu Xianyue said.
Xu Zimei noticed that Huangfu Xianyue’s gaze was particularly fiery when she looked at him, as if she were beholding a rare treasure.
Before leaving, Huangfu Xianyue specifically reminded him, "Then you rest well. I will come again tomorrow."
......
After Huangfu Xianyue left, Xu Zimei returned to the courtyard and his consciousness directly reached the Myriad Demons Tribe in the Divine Continent.
He looked over the many Divine Beasts and eventually chose a Flame Dragon with a body entirely crimson red.
"You will do. Help me with some tasks," Xu Zimei instructed.
The crimson red giant dragon let out a sky-rending roar and swished its tail.
Using the power of space, Xu Zimei transported the red giant dragon away.
The midday sun shone like a blazing fireball, illuminating the skies above the Realm Emperor Divine Sect.
