After clearing the level, the fairies were reborn!

The woman withdrew her divine sense and lifted the restriction that had been placed over Gao Lifeng.

She knew this kid had extraordinary abilities.

Even if she had never seen it, she could roughly guess what it was.

After all, that kind of composure that allows you to "explode" at any moment can't be faked.

"The Third Elder is truly a man of strong character."

Watching the other person leave, Xu Ze smiled and shook his head.

I was able to eliminate He Yundao without using my trump cards and without anyone noticing, all thanks to her.

Wan Yi, you've been deceiving people for two hundred years.

This debt of affection must be repaid!

……

After leaving Gaoli Peak, Xu Ze went straight back to Yaoyue Peak and headed towards Bai Yuxi's cave.

It was as if nothing had happened.

He is now an inner disciple, and not long ago the Third Elder even said that he would take him as his personal disciple.

Therefore, Xu Ze still holds a very high position and is unparalleled among the younger generation.

He was already able to enter and exit the core area of ​​the Cultivation Techniques Pavilion and come into contact with the true inheritance of the Biyang Sect.

Although the core cultivation techniques that direct disciples can practice are only at the sixth rank, Xu Ze's main goal is not these techniques, but rather some books on formations, alchemy, and talisman making.

"We must develop in multiple aspects and become all-round talents."

In the world of cultivation, it's impossible for a normal cultivator to learn such a wide variety of skills.

After all, no matter how high one's cultivation level is, unless you ascend to immortality and live as long as heaven and earth, your lifespan will eventually come to an end.

Aside from the long years of cultivation, one must also practice various supernatural powers and techniques. The time available to learn other secondary skills is limited, and it is often difficult to master even one skill.

Take He Yundao for example. He spent too much time refining pills and failed to break through to the Nascent Soul stage before he died.

But Xu Ze is different.

With the system and save files at his disposal, he had absolutely no need to worry about this.

Some repetitive and tedious study time can be completed by speeding up the process; it would be a disservice to the system not to study.

As the saying goes, having many prostitutes is never a bad thing.

……

"Hey, little brother~ up so early?"

As dawn broke, Xu Ze, who had just accomplished something significant, strolled along the path up the mountain, his expression calm as if nothing had happened.

It will take some time before this matter is exposed.

At least in the short term, it's impossible for them to suspect their disciple.

At this moment, Widow Qin looked at him with alluring eyes and a charming smile: "Oh dear, look at my memory! Soon you'll be my personal disciple, and I'll have to call you senior brother!"

"You flatter me, Fairy Qin. I've only been on the mountain for a year, and I'm very grateful for the care you've given me during this time."

Xu Ze still maintains his meticulous persona.

During his year at Yaoyue Peak, he was extremely composed on a daily basis, and his cultivation progressed rapidly, and he was also outstanding in appearance.

I wonder how many female disciples want to "get to know him better".

Unfortunately, Xu Ze seemed to have no interest in them whatsoever, and after several rejections, they gave up on trying to embarrass themselves.

She simply regarded Bai Yuxi as a rival in love.

But who would dare to complain? She is the only direct disciple of the sect leader in the past hundred years, possessing an innate physique. Who can compare to her?

"Could you do me a small favor?"

Widow Qin swayed her voluptuous figure as she walked towards Xu Ze, her eyes sparkling, her breath sweet as orchids as she spoke:

"My sister's drain keeps getting clogged lately, and she'd like to ask you to help unclog it..."

Xu Ze, who had never worked as a plumber before, believed that...

Professional tasks should be left to professionals.

He politely declined the other party's enthusiastic invitation and slowly walked towards the top of the mountain.

Along the way, he attracted a lot of attention.

It wasn't until Xu Ze entered the cave that he noticed the gazes had subsided.

"You're back!"

A light, graceful figure sprang up from the jade couch.

Bai Yuxi looked radiant and her face was flushed.

Xu Ze sighed helplessly, "I've said it many times, fingers aren't for this."

"But I couldn't help it..."

"I see."

The two were always on the same wavelength.

"Was that woman surnamed Qin bothering you again just now?"

Bai Yuxi, like a little fox, sniffed him incessantly, saying, "You smell like her perfume."

Xu Ze did not deny it, saying, "I just said hello."

Disciples who are all on the same mountain peak will see each other all the time; this is quite normal.

At this point, the girl's eyes suddenly dimmed, as if she had thought of something: "That's right, you're about to become a disciple of Yaoyue Peak."

"Once I move to the sect leader's peak, this cave will be yours. Don't do anything strange on my bed, okay?"

She forced a smile and tried to crack a joke.

But reality is still not so funny.

Wan Yi seemed to have been provoked by something. He originally planned to use the furnace cauldron only after Bai Yuxi reached the Golden Core stage, but now that Bai Yuxi had just entered the Foundation Establishment stage, he was about to make his move.

Xu Ze's gaze turned cold, and he said firmly, "I hope that Bi Yang's Wan Yi won't get tired of living so soon."

He wanted to use his status as a direct disciple to gain even more benefits.

Even with an anchor point, it would still take a considerable amount of time to get back to where he is now. He can no longer recklessly self-destruct like he did in his previous life.

"Don't be impulsive. With your talent, you will soon be able to form your core, and your future will be bright."

"There's no need to do something that's hopeless..."

Bai Yuxi didn't know why she said those things.

She always had a feeling that Xu Ze's attitude of disregarding life and death was not an act at all.

Although you may seem to have something now, in reality, you could lose it completely at any time.

All the female disciples on Yaoyue Peak envied her.

Who among them knew the tragic fate they carried on their shoulders?

From the moment they first met, Bai Yuxi had a strange feeling for Xu Ze. It was a feeling that seemed innate, or perhaps something that arose after experiencing some life-or-death situation... But for some reason, she couldn't remember it at all.

Does Xu Ze feel this way about himself?

He's a good person, and he even said he would protect himself, but does he like himself?

Bai Yuxi dared not investigate further.

She is not good enough for him.

The throbbing pain on my back serves as a constant reminder.

How she longed to be like the disciples on Yaoyue Peak, brave, confident, and bold in pursuing her dreams!

But that won't work.

"What's wrong? You don't seem happy?"

Lost in thought, Xu Ze's face was close to hers, and he asked with some concern.

"N-no." Bai Yuxi hurriedly turned her face away, her ears turning red.

Although she usually maintained a cool and aloof demeanor, she couldn't fake it at all in front of this young man.

What exactly happened? Why can't I remember?

This feeling is so awful.

"Tell me about the demon race," Xu Ze tried to start a conversation.

"Okay, what do you want to know?" Bai Yuxi temporarily put aside those chaotic thoughts.

“I once heard one of my teachers say that the human world is divided into five continents, while the places where demons and beasts live are collectively called the ‘Wilderness Domain,’ which is vast and boundless and extremely dangerous.”

"So, your nine-tailed fox clan lives in the desolate wilderness?"

The girl shook her head at this: "The Wilderness Domain is a very large area. Most of the creatures living there are ferocious and wild primitive beasts. They don't even have the concept of a race. They just respect the strong."

"The fox clan is a major clan recognized by the Demon Slayer Alliance. The nine-tailed fox is one of its branches, living in a place called 'Qingqiu' at the border of the Southern Continent and the Western Continent."

Upon hearing the name, Xu Ze became interested.

This does resemble a place name found only in some traditional myths.

"Will the Demon-Slaying Alliance still recognize the demon race?"

He thought that when Ding Wan said she was taking on missions at the Demon Slayer Alliance, she meant she would kill any demonic beasts she encountered.

It turns out that it wasn't a matter of indiscriminate judgment.

Bai Yuxi gave a soft "hmm" and repeated what she had heard the elders say when she was a child: "The fox clan is not a particularly fierce and warlike race, and their cultivation methods are very gentle. The demon alliance not only recognized our existence, but also gave us identities and provided protection."

"Unless it is a fox demon that illegally enters the mortal world or the cultivation world, illegally absorbs human yang energy, or even causes death, it will be suppressed by the demon-slaying alliance cultivators."

"Normally, once a fox demon finds a cultivation partner, they will practice the same dual cultivation techniques together. As long as they are a little restrained during their actions and don't push things too hard, it won't cause any harm to the human body."
