#339 - The speed of refining blood and qi has increased dramatically and will last for seven days!
“Are you saying…” Pan Anshou’s heart leaped with alarm.
“The authenticity of Pan Mengdie.” Xu Chengxian said calmly.
“…Which is real, and which is fake?” Pan Anshou couldn’t help but ask.
“This matter can’t be explained in just a few words.” Xu Chengxian shook his head. “Besides, if I speak too freely, I fear I might startle the snake and cause the person behind this to take desperate measures, which would be bad.”
His words were vague and mysterious.
They sounded like the tricks of a con artist.
But considering his identity, the current situation, and Bai Wenyu’s previous guess, Pan Anshou couldn't afford not to believe him.
“Then, according to the Daoist priest’s meaning?” He anxiously pressed.
“Call Bai Wenyu over.” Xu Chengxian flicked his horsetail whisk and said solemnly, “This matter is of great importance. There are some things I must say in front of both of you.”
“This… Alright!” Pan Anshou hesitated slightly before agreeing.
His hesitation was, of course, due to his concern that the truth might be detrimental to the Pan family.
So, although he agreed verbally, he couldn’t help but look at Xu Chengxian.
Hoping to get some reassuring hints or guarantees from him.
“Old Pan, I just helped you decide on the location for the White Maiden Temple, and next, I will extend your son's lifespan.”
Xu Chengxian smiled, “Besides, there’s also the relationship with Old Qin, so what else do you have to worry about?”
His intention was to win over Pan Anshou and add another layer of protection for himself.
So, he simply gave the other party a reassurance.
Sure enough, Pan Anshou's expression softened a lot upon hearing this.
He thought to himself that Xu Chengxian really had no reason to harm him.
Moreover, he couldn’t think of any benefit to Xu Chengxian or the White Maiden Temple in alienating the Pan family from the Bai family.
With no benefit and no grudges, there was no reason to harm his family.
Furthermore, if he were to use this matter to turn the Bai family against the Pan family, why would he ask him to invite the Bai family to the governor's mansion… Thinking of this, Pan Anshou couldn't help but steal a glance at Xu Chengxian.
Surely, Daoist Xu wouldn't be so despicable and petty?
Xu Chengxian closed his eyes to rest, not bothering to care what he thought.
Seven days.
He had to ensure his own safety within seven days.
Even with a governor's mansion, he still felt uneasy.
It would be more reassuring to bring in the Bai family as well.
Arriving at the governor's mansion.
Xu Chengxian got off the carriage.
Pan Anshou watched him leave, then turned and ordered someone to go to the Bai residence.
He was going to invite Bai Wenyu.
The matter had started fifteen years ago; this was a conspiracy planned for fifteen years.
Going to the Bai residence in person, even if there was something detrimental to his family, he could take the initiative to express the Pan family's stance and reach a tacit understanding with the Bai family, advancing and retreating together.
…
Half an hour later.
“They really believe this is a scheme that started fifteen years ago.” Da Hei gnawed on a ball of blood energy, squatting beside Xu Chengxian.
It had followed Pan Anshou to the Bai residence.
It had tested whether the Bai residence had any arrangements to deal with cultivators.
And eavesdropped on their conversation.
After recounting Pan Anshou and Bai Wenyu's plans, it felt that the two were overly conceited.
They were overthinking the matter.
They were just two mortals; what was worth a cultivator scheming for fifteen years?
“They’re not entirely wrong.” Xu Chengxian smiled, “Wasn’t this matter a scheme that started fifteen years ago?”
Before knowing the truth, he also had a creepy feeling that the forces behind the scenes were scheming too deeply.
But after really knowing the truth, he found that the matter was much simpler than he had imagined.
It was terrifying when thought about in detail.
“In the end, they’re just thinking too much, that’s why they feel terrified.” He couldn’t help but smile.
In the end, he realized he had scared himself.
Pan Anshou and Bai Wenyu were ordinary people, but one was a high-ranking official among ordinary people, and the other had ancestors who were great cultivators, so they could remain calm.
Otherwise, if it were ordinary people, facing methods beyond the mortal realm, they would have a natural fear in their hearts, and they would have given up and let others slaughter them.
“Speaking of which, ordinary people probably wouldn’t encounter this kind of thing.” Xu Chengxian said with emotion.
“The Bai family’s Nascent Soul ancestor must be very extraordinary, of course.” Da Hei didn’t get much blood energy from this errand. To gnaw on it for longer, it spoke, finding something to say.
It even deliberately didn’t use voice transmission, but spoke out loud.
“What do you mean?” Xu Chengxian glanced at it, his eyes twitching.
He strongly suspected that Da Hei was deliberately acting pitiful.
“Otherwise, would he dare to leave his offspring so openly?” Da Hei said haltingly, “Without some ability, even if he dared to leave them, they would have been rooted out long ago.”
After saying that, it seemed to want to open its mouth and gnaw on a mouthful of blood energy.
It opened its mouth, but closed it again most of the way.
Finally, it licked it.
“…Alright, alright, I’ll give you another ball.” Xu Chengxian really couldn’t stand it anymore.
He threw another ball of blood energy to Da Hei in annoyance.
The thing in front of him was a famous ferocious beast from ancient times, but now it was holding a bit of blood energy, cherishing it immensely.
It was already bad enough that it was nibbling on it in small bites, but it was actually sipping it and resting for a while?
It had a sense of the hero's twilight.
And the loneliness and sadness of a tiger fallen into the plains.
Mainly, the role he played in it wasn’t very glorious.
Thinking that the system prompt at this moment was [Blood Energy +1+1+1+1…], and looking at Da Hei, Xu Chengxian felt his original form was constantly changing.
One moment he turned into a shrimp holding pincers, the next moment he turned into a snarling dog.
“Really giving it to me?” Da Hei was stunned, “For free?”
“What, you don’t want it?”
“Want it!” Da Hei’s eyes lit up.
It pounced over and snatched it away.
Why wouldn’t it want something for free?
What was it thinking!
Afraid that Xu Chengxian would go back on his word, it licked it as soon as it got it in its mouth.
Hehe, it had already licked it, and it didn’t believe that Da Xu would be embarrassed to regret it and take it back.
“Stop acting up, when have I ever taken back anything I gave you?” Xu Chengxian said unhappily, “Eat it all quickly and go to work.”
He was making a lot of money at this time, why would he be so stingy?
“What work?” Da Hei asked.
“Take it to dredge the water veins.” Xu Chengxian reached out and wiped his main body, took out the four-legged snake imprisoned in the demon body's inner domain, and threw it to Da Hei.
“Remember to find the location for the foundation and mark it.”
After saying that, he waved his hand, telling them to hurry up and get busy.
“If you do a good job, I’ll give you ten thousand blood energy.”
“…Alright!”
Da Hei swallowed the blood energy in one gulp.
It turned into a black wind and rushed out, wrapping the four-legged snake.
“Heh.” Xu Chengxian twitched the corner of his mouth.
He suspected even more that Da Hei was waiting for him here.
But seeing that the other party was working very actively, he was too lazy to pursue it.
The next moment.
His mind sank into his main body.
[Ding Dong!]
[Congratulations, host, the relic is being refined… ]
[Blood Energy +1+1+1+1… ]
[Essence Blood Energy +0.01+0.01+0.01+0.01… ]
“…Hiss~”
Hearing the growth rate of essence blood energy, Xu Chengxian’s eyelids jumped, and he almost failed to stabilize his state of concentration.
It could increase by 0.01 points per second, so wouldn’t that be 0.6 points per minute?
0.6 per minute, so wouldn’t that be 36 per hour?
Twenty-four hours a day…
The state of full refining would last for seven days…
That is to say, in these seven days, the increase in his essence blood energy will skyrocket to…
6048!
