Grandpa, times have changed.

Chapter 628 I must have done this while I was drunk!

Xu Xing nodded and smiled, "Okay."

“Then I…!” Yue Ling paused halfway through her sentence, frowned, and glanced at Bie Xue Ning again.

"Then I'll send it to my lord later, and then my lord will forward it to you, Sword Ancestor."

After saying that, he turned and ran out of the dojo.

Xu Xing: "..."

He smiled helplessly and turned his head to look at Bie Xuening beside him.

ding dong~
But then a crisp message notification sound was heard.

As for the source of this information...

It was naturally Yue Ling who had just run out.

She acted quickly, mainly because she was worried that she would play games to test the 'new equipment' and then accidentally forget about it.

Bie Xuening took out her phone, opened the video sent by Yue Ling, and glanced at it briefly.

Then he turned to look at Xu Xing:

"How are things going with the Spirit Ancestor's disciple and the juniors of the Righteous Path Alliance?"

The problem came somewhat suddenly.

Xu Xing was also taken aback for a moment before replying:
"The Immortal Network node for the second realm has been completed, but they have not found the Abyss, so they have applied to continue to build nodes in the unknown realm of the Chaos Sea."

"However, since the situation in unfamiliar territory is unknown and not as controllable as the border area around the Pacification Territory, we will need to make some preparations before setting off."

"They should let us know once Ning Ruo has made the arrangements."

This was something that needed to be done anyway, and the two of them happened to have a reason to go.

In a way, it's a win-win situation.

Bie Xue Ning nodded slightly after hearing this.

"I see."

Although she knew that the immortal network node of the second realm had been completed, she was unclear about the subsequent arrangements.

emm...

In fact, this has always been the case, from the past to the present.

Although Bie Xuening is nominally the senior sister, Xu Xing has generally been the one making the decisions along the way.

After all, he is the Lord of Limitless Slaughter.

All you need to think about is drawing your sword and cutting people down; why think about anything else!

"Does Junior Brother think they'll find the person they're looking for in the next realm?"

“It’s possible.” Xu Xing paused, “but I’m not absolutely certain about the specifics.”

Yuan himself is a Dongzhen who cultivates 'space' and follows the 'Taixu' path. Compared with other Dongzhen, his combat strength may be weaker due to insufficient foundation.

However, traveling within the Chaos Sea offers considerable advantages.

Since deciding to search for Yuan, Xu Xing had used the 'spacetime boundary coordinate deduction equation' to make a simple calculation and roughly calculated Yuan's current location in the Chaos Sea.

Of course, now there is the intervention of Yinling, an external factor.

Moreover, having spent over fifty years traversing the Chaotic Sea, his 'spacetime boundary coordinate derivation equation' might have become more refined...

The calculated results may not be accurate.

However, the scope of a 'realm' is still very broad, and Yuan might be inside once the nodes of the next realm are built.

Ultimately, it's up to them to decide.

It would be great if we could find it, but it's okay if we can't.

There are some things that are indeed suitable for Yuan to do, but it's not that Yuan has to do them.

On the other hand, Yuan came from a single, unintentional thought, and his cultivation to the level of Dongzhen over a thousand years was already the limit.

A true cave...

That might not be the best way to put it.

However, Dongzhen's role in the final battle was not very significant.

Bie Xuening didn't say anything more.

after awhile.

ding dong~
Another message notification sound.

"I sent it to you."

In an instant, Xu Xing's chaotic thoughts calmed down.

He took out his phone and opened the video that Bie Xuening had just forwarded.

In the scene, Chi Jiuyu is biting a psionic transmission line hanging from the ceiling, his eyes glowing, and he is crawling around the walls and ceiling like a spider, using his hands and feet.

Although I just witnessed it with my own eyes, the video version is even more 'grotesque'.

I wonder what his reaction will be when he wakes up and sees this video.

"Speaking of which, she seems to have forgotten about the time she got drunk and chewed on the coffee table, hasn't she?" Xu Xing asked.

"Ah."

After pleading with her for a while and realizing that she had no intention of deleting the video, the traitor forgot about it in a very strange way.

Even when she sometimes sent the videos to their group chat, that traitor would pretend not to see them and chat about other topics as if nothing had happened.

……

……

A week later.

In the early morning, the sun rises.

Inside Chi Jiuyu's cave.

Because this drinking contest was relatively measured, it involved a mix of undiluted and diluted versions.

So the three of them woke up in just one week.

living room.

On the newly replaced sofa, Chi Jiuyu, Zhao Ruohan, and Ye Zhiwei each held a bucket of instant noodles.

The steam rose, and the three of them looked somewhat dazed.

“It’s been a week,” Ye Zhiwei said, breaking the silence.

She actually felt a little regretful.

How could I have gotten so worked up by Chi Jiuyu and Zhao Ruohan?
A whole week was wasted...

Chi Jiuyu's eyes regained some of their sparkle as she turned her gaze away from the empty cabinet beside her.

As expected, Yue Ling took him away again.

You've taken so much of my stuff. If you don't support me on the day of the sect leader election, I'll have to settle things with you!

She thought to herself.

But I don't think I did anything abnormal after getting drunk this time, right?

Thinking about this makes me a little worried.

"Sigh! It's only been a week. Cultivation requires a balance of work and rest. It's easy to hit a bottleneck if you keep practicing hard."

Before she could even think, the words had already slipped out of her mouth.

"Last time, Xiao Zhao and I slept for more than ten days straight!"

Zhao Ruohan: "..."

Is this something to be proud of?

Moreover, when did you achieve a balance between work and rest? You were clearly secretly incorporating spiritual practice into your daily life.

Despicable Chi Jiuyu!

Zhao Ruohan slurped up a mouthful of noodles and said nothing.

I must say, the instant noodles that Chi Jiuyu bought taste pretty good, and the spiritual energy is gentle and abundant. I can ask her where she bought them later.

“Abandoning cultivation is never a good thing.” Ye Zhiwei casually tossed a pill into the noodle soup. “Besides, excessive drinking isn’t a good thing either; my head still hurts.”

It's clearly a hangover headache...

But she felt like she had been beaten by someone else!
Chi Jiuyu was staring curiously at the pill that had dissolved in Ye Zhiwei's instant noodles.

Upon hearing this, he suddenly paused, then nodded repeatedly:

"Yes, yes! The back of my head still hurts!"

She reached up and touched the back of her head, a renewed sense of worry rising in her heart. Surely her supreme wisdom wouldn't be affected...?

“I didn’t feel this way last time I drank.” Chi Jiuyu slurped up a mouthful of noodles and took a sip of soup. “It must be that there’s something wrong with Senior Sister’s diluted version.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruohan touched her aching forehead.

"After all, it was brewed by Senior Meizu himself, so it's normal that it wasn't handled perfectly."

"Try not to do this again in the future," Ye Zhiwei sighed.

Then he dropped a pill into each of Chi Jiuyu's and Zhao Ruohan's instant noodles.

Chi Jiuyu wanted to pick it up and take a look, but the pill dissolved instantly upon entering the soup, and there was no time to react...

"what is this?"

“It’s a kind of elixir that I developed myself, used for flavoring,” Ye Zhiwei explained.

"It's not available for purchase now, but it will be available in the market soon."

It was a byproduct of her recent research into a breakthrough pill. She had just reached a cooperation agreement with [Jingyue], but the specific details of the cooperation had not yet been finalized.

"Buyout or revenue sharing?" Zhao Ruohan suddenly asked.

"It's a revenue split, but we haven't finalized the exact amount yet." Ye Zhiwei paused, then continued, "By the way, I remember the Supreme Dao Sect launched a new coating material a month ago. It should be related to you, right?"

"That's me, but I sold mine directly to the sect, so the commission is relatively lower..."

Chi Jiuyu listened silently as the two chatted about topics that had nothing to do with her, and were very likely to remain unrelated in the future...

wrong!

She, the Nine Fishermen Ancestor, is a peerless genius destined to revive the Dao of Talismans!
When the art of talismans flourishes in the future, I will definitely have my own opportunities.

The two chatted casually until the topic changed, at which point Chi Jiuyu was able to chime in with a few words.

after a while.

Three instant noodle bowls were stacked together on the coffee table.

Chi Jiuyu and the other two arrived outside the cave.

Ye Zhiwei stood in front of the wooden frame with a watering can, watering the black candle fruit tree while carefully observing its structure.

As an alchemist, she had a strong interest in the Xuanzhu Fruit Tree, one of the most precious natural treasures in the Tai Xuan Realm.

After all, it takes some effort to buy one or two Xuanzhu Fruits.

However, the Xuanzhu fruit tree itself has never been known to be sold.

Chi Jiuyu mentioned this plant when she was showing off before. It was given to her by the Spirit Ancestor when the Sword Ancestor took her to the Spirit Sound Pavilion.

Tsk!
Having connections is definitely an advantage.

Just as Ye Zhiwei was observing the black candle fruit tree, two reclining chairs were behind her.

"I don't think I did anything weird while I was drunk, did I?" Zhao Ruohan asked with a hint of worry.

When the three of them woke up not long ago, the other two were normal, but she was the only one whose face was covered in ash.

When they came out of the bedroom, they found the ceiling in a mess. Not only were the lights gone, but the psionic transmission lines had also fallen down.

She suspected that she had gotten drunk and acted crazy, then smashed her face against the ceiling of Chi Jiuyu Cave.

"How would I know?" Chi Jiuyu shrugged. "I don't remember what happened after I got drunk."

"..." Zhao Ruohan was silent for a while, "You just said that when we were drunk, it was probably when Lord Yue Ling came by, right?"

"Yes."

"Then can I see her?"

Jian Yueling?
If Xiao Zhao and Yue Ling were to meet, who knows if Yue Ling would accidentally reveal her dark past?

Having considered this, Chi Jiuyu prepared to refuse.

“If your cave dwelling really became like this because of me, I will compensate you,” Zhao Ruohan said earnestly.

Ah this...

These words immediately made Chi Jiuyu stop speaking.

But after thinking about it carefully...

"Oh! It's no big deal. Everyone makes a fool of themselves when they're drunk," Chi Jiuyu said magnanimously.

"Even if you really did it, renovating the cave wouldn't cost much."

"Besides, I invited you all here, and we drank together, didn't I?"

Don't take it to heart.

"..." Zhao Ruohan pursed her lips.

Although Chi Jiuyu said that, she still felt quite guilty...

"Besides, Yue Ling is very busy, and we don't need to bother her with such a trivial matter."

Indeed, it is one of the ancestral swords of the Sword Sect...

"Ok."

"Relax, I'll call Xiaoyunlu and Xiaoxiaoye later, and we'll go out for a stroll again."

As she spoke, Chi Jiuyu picked up the juice from the table next to her, took a delicious sip, and then lay down.

Looking at the sky, a strange light flashed in her eyes.

She had a feeling that if she really asked Xiao Zhao about what happened after Yue Ling got drunk, the answer she would get would probably not be good...

……

……

Shortly after the three woke up, Zhang Yunlu and Ye Zhiwei arrived.

Lin Xuanxuan, on the other hand, returned to Jishi Valley two days ago with some spiritual herbs she had exchanged from the Ascension Point Exchange Center.

After confirming that all three were alright, the group went out for a stroll.

During the exchange, they compared the different items available for exchange at their respective Ascension Point Exchange Centers and made some swaps.

What the first group of ascended messengers could think of, they could naturally think of as well.

By evening, Ye Zhiwei was ready to go back, but Zhao Ruohan decided to stay at the Sword Sect for another night.

The main problem is that there are still many things she doesn't understand, and she doesn't want to go back without knowing the truth.

The sun sets in the west.

The inner sect of the Sword Sect is a steep and dangerous peak.

The endless sea of ​​clouds was dyed a crimson gold by the glow of the setting sun, making it incredibly magnificent.

Looking down, one can still see half of the Divine Cloud Ranking, shimmering with magnificent colors, rising from the mountain peak and disappearing into the sea of ​​clouds.

At the foot of the mountain, two figures stood side by side, gazing into the distance.

"What were we like when we were drunk that day?" Zhao Ruohan asked.

After having lunch in the cafeteria that day, Chi Jiuyu and Ye Zhiwei conspired to get Ye Zhiwei drunk, but Ye Zhiwei saw through their scheme.

The three of them chatted amongst themselves and eventually returned to Chi Jiuyu's cave to drink together.

The main reason is that I'm afraid of embarrassing myself when I'm drunk...

Standing beside her, Zhang Yunlu's eyes flickered, and she slowly spoke:
"It is nothing special."

"..." Zhao Ruohan frowned slightly and looked at Zhang Yunlu, "Then why did Lady Yueling come?"

She felt that her junior sister, Chi Jiuyu, was trying to save face for her, which was why she said that.

“Your cultivation is higher than mine, and you are drunk and unable to control yourselves, so I came to find Lord Yue Ling.”

“You don’t need to worry about my feelings,” Zhao Ruohan said seriously. “When you’re drunk, you’re bound to do some outrageous things. If you mess up Chi Jiuyu’s cave like that, I’ll take responsibility.”

Although she has been affected by Chi Jiuyu during this period, she has never been one to shirk responsibility!
what? !

Zhang Yunlu was stunned, and her mind went completely blank.

This development was completely unexpected by her.

That’s not right!
She remembered that when the group went out, this Senior Sister Zhao was sleeping soundly on the sofa, while the senior sister was clinging to the corner like a gecko, calling out "this sect" over and over again.

Moreover, Yue Ling later sent her a video, confirming that it was indeed her senior sister who did it while drunk!

emm...

It seems that this Senior Sister Zhao has misunderstood something.

Should I explain myself...?

　First update.

　　There will be another update later!
