Chapter 94

If Hua Xiajiu were here, he would recognize this thin young man as the skinny monkey who had fought with a fat man over the jade token for the entrance examination in Wuling City. Because Hua Xiajiu had killed that fat man, this person hated Hua Xiajiu to the bone.

The old man nodded slightly at the burly man and said, "Shi'er! You may leave!"

The burly young man was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but he responded, bowed to the old man again, glanced at the skinny monkey with a thoughtful look, and then left the secret chamber.

After the burly man left the secret chamber, the old man waved his right hand, and an invisible barrier separated the chamber from the outside, making it difficult even for a Daoist Soul to enter.

The old man's eyes flashed like lightning as he looked at the skinny monkey and said, "Tell me all the information you know about Hua Xiajiu. If there is any information useful to me, I will give you some benefits."

The skinny monkey and the fat man had grown up together, accidentally obtaining a cultivation technique from a cave, and cultivated together, forming a deep bond. So he had always wanted to kill Hua Xiajiu to avenge the fat man.

On the day of the entrance examination, he became an outer sect disciple. Although he knew everything about Hua Xiajiu and was aware of the growing gap in their strength, his will was firm, and driven by hatred, he never gave up on revenge due to his weakness. He continued to cultivate hard, but due to limited talent and insufficient cultivation resources, he had never successfully formed a core.

The skinny monkey was silent throughout the time he was brought to the Five Elements Hall and met this powerful old man, but he was constantly pondering the old man's intentions, hoping to gain some benefits from this matter.

At this moment, upon hearing the old man's question, the skinny monkey thought for a moment, his eyes flashing with determination. He knelt down before the old man and said through gritted teeth, "I don't know why you are inquiring about Hua Xiajiu, but I have a life-and-death enmity with him. I once secretly entrusted a friend from the Great Wu Empire to investigate all the information about Hua Xiajiu before he joined the sect. If you are inquiring about Hua Xiajiu to do something beneficial for him, I will never tell you any information, even at the cost of my life. If you can swear to harm Hua Xiajiu, I will tell you everything I know about him."

A cold light flashed in the old man's eyes, and he coldly snorted, "You have a lot of nerve to threaten me."

As he spoke, a powerful aura pressed down on the skinny monkey.

The skinny monkey spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning pale, and his body was pressed to the ground. But despite the intense pain, he forced himself to look up at the old man, showing no fear.

Seeing the skinny monkey's eyes full of defiance and determination, the old man looked at him deeply, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes. He dissipated the pressure on the skinny monkey and said, "You can rest assured. I am inquiring about Hua Xiajiu for a matter that will not benefit him in the slightest."

Before the skinny monkey could speak, the old man continued, "Tell me all the information you know about Hua Xiajiu and do one thing for me. If you do well, I will help you become an inner sect disciple."

Upon hearing the old man's first statement, the skinny monkey secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The second statement made him tremble with excitement, his eyes turning red. He desperately wanted to improve his strength, and the only way to do so quickly was to improve his status in the sect. So, he could imagine how much he desired to become an inner sect disciple.

The skinny monkey got up but did not stand, remaining on his knees and said, "As long as you can help me become an inner sect disciple, I will do my utmost to fulfill any request you have."

The old man was very satisfied with the skinny monkey's response and smiled slightly, saying, "First, tell me the information about Hua Xiajiu."

The skinny monkey agreed, organized his thoughts, and said, "Hua Xiajiu first appeared in Cangnan County of the Great Wu Empire. At that time, he—"

After a while, the old man's eyes lit up, and he said solemnly, "Are you sure that the tiger demon's soul form entered Hua Xiajiu's head without any damage to him?"

The skinny monkey said firmly, "There were tens of thousands of ordinary people watching, and several dozen disciples from the Tianyi Sect and the Ice Blood Sect were also present. The person I entrusted has verified this from multiple sources, and it is absolutely true."

The old man thought for a moment, suddenly remembering something, and said anxiously, "Did the tiger demon use the Metal Elemental Technique as its innate spell?"

The skinny monkey was taken aback and said, "Senior! This matter was not directly related to Hua Xiajiu, so the person I entrusted did not mention it."

The old man was somewhat disappointed and said, "Find out immediately if the tiger demon used the Metal Elemental Technique. The faster, the better."

The skinny monkey saw the old man's seriousness and did not dare to delay, saying, "I will contact my friend in the Great Wu Empire right away and have them investigate this matter as soon as possible."

...

Hua Xiajiu and Wu Jiu were led by an inner sect disciple of the Five Elements Hall to the most important hall of the Five Elements lineage—the Five Elements Hall.

"This junior! Uh—Brother Hua, right! According to the rules of the Five Elements Array, you need to pay one thousand contribution points. Additionally, there are two points to note. First, you can only use the Five Elements spells to navigate the array; you cannot use any non-Five Elements spells or techniques, and you cannot use any spirit or magical artifacts, or you will be directly expelled from the array, considered a failure. Second, the Five Elements Array corresponds to Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, with five array gates, and you can only enter through one gate." A middle-aged man in a golden robe, who Hua Xiajiu knew to be a high-ranking official with at least the cultivation level of the Soul Departure stage, looked at Hua Xiajiu curiously and slowly explained.

Hua Xiajiu listened attentively, memorizing the middle-aged man's words, and bowed to him, asking seriously, "Senior Brother! You haven't mentioned the rules for contribution point rewards yet."

The middle-aged man smiled at Hua Xiajiu's serious expression and said, "Starting from the day you enter the Five Elements Array, after three days, you will receive an additional one thousand contribution points for each additional day, up to the ninth day. After the ninth day, you will receive an additional ten thousand contribution points for each additional day, up to eighty-one days. Oh—If you can stay for eighty-one days, you will receive an additional one million contribution points as a reward."

Hua Xiajiu's star-like eyes grew brighter, especially when he heard about the additional one million contribution points, his eyes shining frighteningly.

He looked at the middle-aged man, took out his identity token, and handed it to the old man, saying, "Let's start then!"
