CHAPTER 334: CHAPTER 220: THE EYES OF THE NETHERWORLD AND THE AURA OF GOOD AND EVIL

That Qin Yang... he isn’t planning to refine me into a Genius Spirit Seed, is he?!

Wen Zhixing looked up at the silhouettes of the people ahead.

A judgment formed in his heart instantly.

He was exceedingly sensitive to his own constitution.

It was the look in Qin Yang’s eyes again, the same look that immediately made him think of this.

That look... Si Nanyan, Feng Ruoli, and the others had similar expressions; they just hadn’t been chosen.

Does such a large sect really lack a Genius Spirit Seed like me?

Wen Zhixing furrowed his brows.

His understanding of such a grand sect was still somewhat shallow.

At the same time, he wasn’t particularly worried about himself.

What he was most concerned about were Liu Qingdai, Bai Luqiu, and the others.

If the people from the Purple Cloud Divine Sect would target me, then they might also target others. Especially people like Liu Qingdai. They have neither status nor strength, making them the easiest group to control. Even with Liu Qingxuan as their protector, it’s not entirely safe. A Primordial Fetus Realm cultivation might reign supreme in Youzhou, but this is Zhongzhou. And the Purple Cloud Divine Sect is one of the strongest sects in Zhongzhou; powerful cultivators within it must be countless. Liu Qingxuan’s cultivation level is probably insufficient here.

Although it might not happen, it’s best to be cautious, Wen Zhixing sighed inwardly. This has always been a world where the strong prey upon the weak. The Purple Cloud Divine Sect reached its current prominence by stepping over the corpses of others. I absolutely cannot afford to be careless.

Take precautions, and hope for the best.

A thunder leaf fell within his Sea of Sense, and Wen Zhixing began to contact Si Nanyan.

The next moment, an image appeared before his eyes.

This time, however, the image was somewhat blurry. Everything before him seemed hazy, as if steam were causing mist to diffuse everywhere.

SPLASH!

That was followed by the sound of water.

Si Nanyan appeared from within the mist. Her black hair, soaking wet, draped over her shoulders. Her jade-like cheeks were dotted with water droplets, resembling a lotus emerging from the water.

Words like beautiful, pure, and unrestrained all seemed to blend together in that instant.

Perhaps it was due to Wen Zhixing’s sudden surge in cultivation. This time, the image manifested by the Nine Heavens Thunder Leaf included not just the person but also the surrounding scenery.

It turned out to be a natural hot spring pool.

"Greetings, Sir," Si Nanyan said, pausing for a moment before speaking, seemingly not expecting Wen Zhixing to seek her out at this time.

In just a few days, Si Nanyan seemed to have matured somewhat. Although she was excited to see Wen Zhixing, she no longer showed it as obviously as before.

"Uh, Si Nanyan, what are you doing, with your big white legs all out?" Wen Zhixing’s eyes widened slightly, then slowly grew larger. Everything before him was completely unexpected.

"Sir, I’m bathing. Can’t I bathe during the day?" Si Nanyan asked, looking down at herself with a puzzled expression. "What’s wrong? Isn’t it obvious?"

As she spoke, Si Nanyan leisurely turned around. Her black hair moved with the water, reflecting dazzling speckles of golden light. Her smooth, fair back, wet and glistening, was partly visible and partly hidden in the mist.

Everything before his eyes was constantly stimulating Wen Zhixing’s senses.

"Cough, please put on your clothes first," Wen Zhixing coughed lightly. Though he had already seen Si Nanyan’s body quite thoroughly and clearly before, seeing it again still stirred an undeniable feeling within him.

Hmm, after her rebirth, to be honest, Si Nanyan’s figure and skin have improved quite a bit. After all, she’s blessed with the Longevity Essence Blood.

"Yes, Sir." Si Nanyan nodded and stepped out of the pool.

In an instant, her graceful figure was revealed, hazy and alluring in the mist.

Wen Zhixing’s gaze was drawn to her again, his eyes intently following her every move, up and down.

Si Nanyan casually grabbed a thin silk robe and half-wrapped it around her body, revealing an enticing half of her creamy bosom. Her cheeks were slightly flushed—not just from the sun, but also because her mind was stirred by other thoughts.

Full of Yang Qi, ready to release. Even without panel prompts, Wen Zhixing reminded himself of this.

"Sir, what are you talking about?" Si Nanyan asked, flipping her hair. It cascaded down, now half-dry, dampening her thin robe and making her appear even more bewitchingly attractive.

"Nothing," Wen Zhixing said, wiping his eyes and quickly changing the subject. "Si Nanyan, tell me about your current situation. Keep it brief, and start from the first day you entered the Purple Cloud Divine Sect."

"Yes, Sir," Si Nanyan responded obediently, nodding her head.

She organized her thoughts for a moment before speaking, "Right after we entered the Purple Cloud Divine Sect, all of us immediately had our aptitudes tested."

"Ning Xiaoyu, Zhang Tiancheng, and I all had decent aptitudes. We eventually became core disciples and joined Xiang Yanwen’s lineage. Feng Ruoli’s aptitude, however, was too low for her to join the Righteous Sun Sect, so she’s temporarily living with me. Since then, we’ve each been focusing on our own cultivation."

So after becoming core disciples, the people of this Holy Land just leave you to your own devices? Wen Zhixing furrowed his brows slightly.

Are they planning something else? Or do they think that while these few have some aptitude, they aren’t exceptionally strong? That seems plausible too.

It did seem to be the case. The innate talents of these individuals had been quite ordinary to begin with. If he hadn’t refined Feng Ruoli, Ning Xiaoyu, and Zhang Tiancheng, and if it weren’t for the enhancement from the Longevity Essence Blood, they probably wouldn’t have been able to join the Purple Cloud Divine Sect at all. Feng Ruoli was the perfect example. Her cultivation was at the peak of the Sixth Realm, yet she couldn’t join the Purple Cloud Divine Sect.

"What about the others?" Wen Zhixing asked again.

"The others—Bai Luqiu, Yun Xinyue, Liu Qingdai, and Wen Miner—were taken away by someone and still haven’t returned."
