Chapter 29

Coughing lightly, Zhao Shuo took out several hundred star crystals, and instantly the area in front of him sparkled. Jing Qingyi's expression changed immediately, her large, bright eyes shimmering with starlight, as if she wanted to swallow all the star crystals in one go.

Seeing Jing Qingyi's greedy appearance, Zhao Shuo couldn't help but pat his forehead. Good heavens, what a unique girl. He had seen greedy people before, but never one so unique.

Suddenly, Jing Qingyi let out a scream, "Wow, we're rich, we're rich, so many star crystals!"

The sound of footsteps approached, and the brothers Bu Si and Bu Mie rushed in, "Big Sister, what's wrong... Oh..."

Zhao Shuo saw the five young men all staring at the hundreds of star crystals with wide, sparkling eyes, not much different from Jing Qingyi. Truly, the leader sets the tone for the followers.

When Jing Qingyi finally reacted, Zhao Shuo only saw her fair hand sweep over, and in the blink of an eye, the hundreds of star crystals disappeared. The speed was incredibly fast, even Zhao Shuo couldn't see how she did it.

Jing Qingyi looked at Zhao Shuo with great satisfaction, "Hehe, Zhao Shuo, you're really a good guy. Don't worry, we'll take good care of you during your recovery."

Zhao Shuo slowly shook his head, "Someone is out to kill me. You are all just ordinary people. I don't want to drag you into this. My enemy might come at any time."

Jing Qingyi's face turned serious, "I know you're worried about involving us, but if I were the kind of person who would run away from trouble, I wouldn't have brought you back. In your current state, if you leave now, you might not even make it far before you die. It's better to stay here and recover!"

Zhao Shuo looked at Jing Qingyi in surprise, "Are you really not afraid? You might lose your lives because of me."

To his surprise, these greedy young men were not afraid of the danger he might bring.

Zhao Shuo really didn't want to involve Jing Qingyi and the others. He struggled to get up, but Jing Qingyi suddenly pushed him back onto the bed, "What's wrong with you? We're not afraid to die, why are you?"

Letting out a cry of pain, Zhao Shuo could only smile bitterly and follow Jing Qingyi's arrangement to stay and recover.

Half a month passed. Although the days were somewhat nerve-wracking, the black-clothed man did not come to seek revenge. If it were anyone else, their injuries would take months to recover, but Zhao Shuo had the Yin-Yang Wheel, which constantly refined and nourished his body with primordial energy, and he practiced the profound Beiming Swallowing Heaven and Earth technique.

Thus, by now, Zhao Shuo's injuries were almost fully healed. During his recovery, Zhao Shuo spent his days either chatting with Jing Qingyi and the others or meditating to comprehend the profound truths contained in the Zhou Tian Ruyi Purple Light Tower and the Yin-Yang Wheel, gradually enhancing his strength.

What truly caught Zhao Shuo's attention was the dantian, where the originally small pool of magical energy had grown several times larger. Although it was still a long way from forming a primordial core, the current rate of growth was dozens of times faster than that of ordinary people. The Yin-Yang Wheel had saved Zhao Shuo the step of condensing primordial energy into liquid, directly advancing him to the intermediate stage of body refinement.

Slowly opening his eyes, Zhao Shuo saw Jing Qingyi squatting in front of him, staring at him.

Seeing Zhao Shuo open his eyes, Jing Qingyi's face flushed slightly. To cover her embarrassment, she coughed lightly, "Zhao Shuo, you're awake. Are your injuries almost healed?"

Zhao Shuo stood up, stretched his body, and a series of cracking sounds came from his joints. He chuckled, "Yes, almost. In another two or three days, I should be fully recovered. I might even make further progress."

Jing Qingyi looked at him enviously, "Congratulations!"

Noticing the envy in Jing Qingyi's eyes, Zhao Shuo didn't say anything. He knew that Jing Qingyi and the others also wanted to obtain the star map inheritance to open their spirit orifices and enter the realm of cultivators. Zhao Shuo had the ability to teach them, but the Way cannot be easily transmitted. If it falls into the wrong hands, it could cause great harm. Therefore, Zhao Shuo wanted to observe their character and integrity before deciding to teach them.

As night fell, another day quietly passed. Sitting on the dilapidated steps, Zhao Shuo looked up at the starry sky, which contained boundless treasures and mysteries.

Jing Qingyi, sitting beside Zhao Shuo, was wrapped in an outer garment, her delicate figure appearing somewhat frail. She also looked up at the sky and said wistfully, "It is said that when cultivators reach the Dharmic Image stage, they can use the power of the Dharmic Image to break free from the constraints of the Origin Continent and freely explore the starry sky, searching for various heavenly treasures."

Zhao Shuo smiled gently, "That's true. Reaching the Dharmic Image stage grants a long life. It takes hundreds of years to form each Dharmic Image, so it takes thousands of years to be able to explore the starry sky. Many powerful cultivators explore the endless starry sky, while the Origin Continent is more peaceful due to the absence of many powerful cultivators."

Jing Qingyi murmured, "If there were no conflicts or killings, this world would be so beautiful."

Zhao Shuo couldn't help but say, "That's impossible. As long as there are people, conflicts and killings will never disappear. This is probably an inherent flaw in human nature."

Jing Qingyi said, "Let's not talk about that. Tell me, why is the black-clothed man after you? Could it be that you have a vendetta against him, like killing his father or taking his wife?"

Rolling his eyes, Zhao Shuo said, "Do I look like someone who would do such things?"

Jing Qingyi seriously examined Zhao Shuo, "Well, it's hard to say."

Almost choking on her words, Zhao Shuo was about to speak when a muffled groan came from the dilapidated courtyard. His body trembled, and without paying attention to Jing Qingyi, he immediately rushed in the direction of the sound.

"Ah, they're dead, Ah Long, Ah Hu are dead... Who are you, why did you kill us!"

Just as Zhao Shuo burst into the room, a wave of bloodiness hit him. He saw two young men lying in a pool of blood, none other than Jing Long and Jing Hu, whom he had become very familiar with over the past ten days. A black-clothed man, radiating overwhelming killing intent, slowly pulled a blood-soaked long sword from Jing Bao's abdomen.

Jing Bao's eyes were full of disbelief, his eyes staring at the black-clothed man with resentment, blood gushing from his mouth, "Revenge, revenge!"

Seeing the three brothers, who had lived with him like family, lose their lives in an instant, Jing Bu Si and Jing Bu Mie's eyes glowed with ferocity. They shouted and lunged at the black-clothed man.
