After confirming that no demons or evil spirits remained, Xu Xi left the Boundary Ruins. The news of this immediately caused a huge uproar. No one expected that the Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood, which originally required the intervention of the Supernatural Administration Bureau’s headquarters to barely suppress, would be resolved by Xu Xi alone. How was this possible? The weakest beings inside were at the Foundation Establishment level, with many at the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages! With his Golden Core cultivation, Xu Xi shouldn’t have been able to eliminate the enemies alone!
“Hisss—” A collective gasp echoed through the scene. Everyone wore expressions of shock and disbelief as they looked at Xu Xi.
“I get it now, Senior Xu is a hidden Spirit Transformation cultivator! His Golden Core cultivation is just a facade, like in those novels where the protagonist pretends to be weak to deceive others!”
“From the moment I first saw Senior Xu, I knew he was a big shot!”
“Father, do you need a leg accessory?!”
“Ahem, actually, I have a sister…”
Facing the overly excited crowd, Xu Xi helplessly explained, “I really am just a Golden Core cultivator.”
However, no one believed this truth. Even the most honest Wang Dali wore an expression that said, “Are you kidding me?” In the end, Xu Xi had no choice but to let everyone misunderstand. After all, with the Eternal Tear Drop in hand, his combat power far surpassed that of an ordinary Golden Core cultivator.
…
The matter concluded perfectly. The supernatural beings from the headquarters who had come to assist turned back halfway, leaving only a small group of supernatural beings and researchers to collect samples from the Boundary Ruins. Afterward, Zhang Yaoguo asked Xu Xi what reward he wanted. The Boundary Ruins had posed a great threat, and Xu Xi’s early resolution of the crisis was a monumental achievement. For a moment, Zhang Yaoguo wasn’t sure how to reward him.
“If possible, I’d like to exchange it all for supernatural items. Yes, all of it, and I don’t need any cultivation-related supernatural items.”
Xu Xi didn’t ask for money or points. Instead, he made this peculiar request, leaving Zhang Yaoguo stunned.
“Alright, I understand.”
Although he didn’t know why Xu Xi, as a cultivator, wanted supernatural items from other systems, Zhang Yaoguo agreed without hesitation. Soon, Xu Xi received over a thousand supernatural items of varying quality, some damaged, some intact. He fed them all into the Simulator, significantly increasing its loading progress. Unfortunately, due to the wide variety of supernatural items, the progress of the Anchor Mediums increased unevenly, and none reached 100%. This meant Xu Xi needed to continue his efforts and pour more supernatural items into the Simulator.
“The highest loading progress is for the Magic Anchor Medium, at 83%. Since that’s the case, I’ll start with the magic side.”
After returning home, Xu Xi immediately began his alchemy endeavors. He purchased raw materials from the Supernatural Home, refined them into pills, sold them on the Supernatural Home, and used the points earned to buy more materials. This cycle repeated endlessly, squeezing out his rest time, until Xu Xi finally reached the last moment of his harvest.
“Boom!”
About twenty days later, during the night, as the copper lid of the alchemy furnace flew open, dozens of golden pills floated in the air. Xu Xi lightly flicked a porcelain bottle, and the pills flew into it, sealing themselves inside.
“Phew,” Xu Xi exhaled a long breath, his face showing unmistakable fatigue.
“This is the last batch of Yellow Dragon Pills. Tomorrow, after selling them, I can use the points to buy another batch of magic-related items and fill up the remaining magic-side progress.”
“Finally, finally.”
“These past days, refining pills day and night, I feel like I’ve been refined myself.”
Shaking the porcelain bottle in his hand, listening to the sound of the pills clinking against each other, Xu Xi sighed deeply again. He then stored all the pills in his Storage Ring. Glancing at the night outside the window, seeing the bright moon hanging high, he no longer suppressed his drowsiness and walked to his bed, lying down peacefully.
As a Golden Core cultivator, Xu Xi had long replaced ordinary sleep with meditation. He could go without sleep. But Xu Xi was simply too exhausted. Over twenty days of continuous alchemy had left his spirit utterly drained. All he wanted was to sink into a deep sleep and forget everything else.
Before long, the quiet room was filled with the soft sound of breathing, indicating that its owner had fallen asleep.
“…”
The moonlight was like water, and the night was serene. It was an extremely peaceful and tranquil evening. The pure white moonlight, cool and refreshing, faint and gentle, shimmered alongside the starlight. The moonlight wasn’t as dazzling as sunlight, nor did it carry the same scorching heat. But in the dimness of the human world, the moonlight pierced through the thick curtains, instantly illuminating the entire room. With an incredibly gentle touch, it coated everything in the room with a silvery-white glow, including the cold figure that had appeared at some point, standing quietly by the bedside. The ends of her dark hair were also tinged with a silver halo.
“Elder Brother…”
She called out softly, her voice trembling with infinite longing. Her fingertips pressed against Xu Xi’s chest, just like when she was a child, bending down, tilting her head, and leaning into her elder brother’s embrace. Feeling his familiar chest, familiar warmth, and familiar scent, her restless, guilty heart finally found some peace.
Elder Brother had returned. Elder Brother had truly returned. Witnessing his existence with her own eyes, touching him with her own hands, and hearing his presence with her own ears, Xu Moli finally received the answer she had longed for. The hero who belonged to her, the sun that belonged to her, had truly returned.
“Elder Brother, we will meet again soon, definitely…” The girl whispered softly as she leaned on her elder brother. Finding her long-lost elder brother should have been a joyous occasion, but for some reason, her elder brother had appeared in this weak, insignificant timeline. As a result, Xu Moli’s true form couldn’t enter this place. If she forced her way in, it would only shatter everything and destroy all. She didn’t want to do something that would make her elder brother hate her. Therefore, from the infinitely distant reaches of time and space, Xu Moli, who had already surpassed the Immortal Emperor, was rapidly destroying one cultivation world after another, merging their fragments with Earth’s timeline. She was preparing to enhance Earth’s capacity in this way, until it could withstand the arrival of her true form. Only then could the girl fulfill her wish and live with her elder brother once more.
However—though her true form couldn’t descend, it didn’t mean she couldn’t make contact. Through the Eternal Tear Drop that Xu Xi wore, Xu Moli could sense his presence at any time, and a wisp of her power could descend by his side, just as it had now. A wisp of power, a single thought, was enough to construct a body for her to walk in. The reason she hadn’t dared to reveal herself or make contact with Xu Xi for so long was mostly due to fear. Fear that her elder brother wouldn’t accept her, who had changed so much. Fear that her elder brother would resent her. Fear that her elder brother wouldn’t welcome her arrival.
