The person possesses an Innate Strange Body!

He thought of the difficulties when he broke through the Fifth Grade, thinking about his past.

Xu Guang is at least thirteen years younger than him, thirteen years ago, what was he doing?

He thought about his past, thinking about what kind of effort he had put in for today's achievements.

A sense of depression arose in his heart.

Why on earth.

Someone like Xu Guang, not only has such a Great Beast accompanying him, but is also born with an Innate Strange Body!

He...

Lin Zushan, after all, is a character. He wiped his face, and the originally twisted look of jealousy became sharp again.

Someone like Xu Guang, even if he's exceptionally gifted, is after all not a disciple nurtured by Jiufeng Mountain. He is ambitious!

He wants to make even greater contributions and render meritorious service to Jiufeng Mountain.

What if his talent is inferior to the other party?

If I am willing to work hard and have enough patience to exchange for merit, with merit, using resources I can forcibly elevate my cultivation, surpassing Xu Guang is just a matter of time.

Suppressing the complex emotions in his heart.

Lin Zushan took out a secret letter again.

The letter was about the investigation he conducted over this period on the underworld.

'Lu Chengze of the Taiyi Alliance, suspected to be the Dark Tower's Third Shift assassin - Fire Throat, had once accepted the task of assassinating Xu Guang. There was a reward item, once successful, Lu Chengze would get a slot to enter the Spirit Refining Pool.'

Lin Zushan suddenly raised his head, his eyes fierce.

He remembered the time Xu Guang was assassinated, it was indeed the Dark Tower's Third Shift assassin, and Jiufeng Mountain's Steward Hall still has a bounty for that assassin.

He remembered, that bounty was placed by someone from the Celestial Destiny Sect.

An inconceivable thought appeared in his mind.

There are people from the Celestial Destiny Sect within Jiufeng Mountain, and they hold a high position!

The eerie conclusion almost made Lin Zushan's face change color.

Who... could it be?

...

Jiufeng Mountain's actions were swift, and on the way back, they had already begun to arrange matters regarding entry into the Spirit Refining Pool.

Only at this moment did Xu Guang learn that the Spirit Refining Pool is located at the back of Sword Seal Peak.

Wanhua Institute.

Xu Guang discussed the practice of Sea-Overturning True Skill with Master Fuqing.

This had already been going on for half a day.

Since his return, Master Fuqing had been engaging Xu Guang in a discussion about Martial Arts.

For a long time, his expression was complex.

"Your understanding of the Sea-Overturning True Skill is indeed extraordinary. There are many things that even the elders in the institute hadn't thought of."

"Senior sister praises me too much."

"You need not always be so humble, you are already our fourth Zhenren in the Wanhua Institute." Master Fuqing said with a smile.

After pausing for a moment, "In three days, it's the day to enter the Spirit Refining Pool, you… do you really want to scatter your cultivation?"

The rumors about Xu Guang being an alien body, she had also heard of.

Now connecting it to Xu Guang's previous Scattering Technique, it indeed seemed so,

With everyone speculating this way, Xu Guang had no intention of clarifying, "Indeed, I have the intention to scatter my cultivation, but I am confident I can restore my cultivation within half a month."

In fact, nowadays, the Scattering Technique of the Five Elements Withering and Flourishing Cicada isn't real scattering; it merely gathers all the gold attribute in the body into the Withered Cicada Profound Egg at the center of the brow.

This is not difficult to do.

Before leaving, Xu Guang left some meat of the Jiao Ape Demon Beast for Master Fuqing. This meat contained the gold attribute, and being dragon-associated, it was somewhat beneficial to Master Fuqing, who had a water attribute.

Master Fuqing didn't refuse.

Only she gained a deeper understanding of Xu Guang's growth speed.

When she first saw him, he was just innate, unable to even break through his own Protective Gang Qi, but now... it didn't take long…

The demon beasts he hunted could already be of assistance to her.

She put away her initial evaluation, perhaps Xu Guang was even more terrifying than Shen Chong…

Once out of Master Fuqing's courtyard, Xu Guang looked up at the sky, a faint sense of oppression welled up in his heart.

A very strange feeling.

Sixth sense?

As if some crisis was approaching?

But looking around, the Wanhua Institute was calm, and the trees of midsummer under the scorching sun seemed a bit wilted and half-dead.

However, this oppressive feeling quickly disappeared.

Xu Guang frowned, noting it mentally, planning to investigate later.

Returning to his little valley in Jiufeng Mountain.

Yet he did not expect that at the entrance of the valley, a figure was standing there, seemingly waiting for him intentionally.

Xu Guang lowered his eyes to look at the stranger in front of him.

"Is there something you need?"

A slightly sleazy smile appeared on the person's face.

This person, Xu Guang had never met, but there was a strange smell on him, like a urine smell?

Eunuch?

The Great Zhou is already fallen, how can there be eunuchs in this era?

"Master Xu is very skilled, and I wish to collaborate on some matters with Master Xu."

"What does sir want to do?"

Xu Guang opened his mouth and directly pointed out the other's identity, with a hint of probing.

The smile on the other person's face slightly disappeared, "I cannot tell Master Xu for now."

Xu Guang remained expressionless, but in his heart, he wondered how this person got in, as this is Jiufeng Mountain, and the Feng Shui Array stands alone, not easy to intrude, and not even Master Fuqing, who was in close proximity, was alerted.

The strength of the eunuch before him was not to be underestimated.

He was eager to take this person down.

Taking a quiet step forward, he softly spoke.

"Does Your Excellency carry any Great Zhou artifacts?"

Since Xu Guang had discovered something, the other party simply stopped concealing and directly replied.

"That depends on what Master Xu can do for my Great Zhou."

Suddenly, the person exclaimed in shock, and Xu Guang's figure flashed swiftly, already appearing right in front of him!

The swirling Qi Force transformed into a giant python in the air, with countless Sword Qi swirling within the gathered air.

"You cannot kill me!"

Unexpectedly, the person's strength was barely at the Fifth Grade.

In front of Xu Guang, this person could not mount any effective resistance.

"You will truly regret killing me!"

The Sword Qi wove through the person's body, yet their face displayed a strange smile, eyes filled with deep mockery.

"Not killing you, Xu Mou cannot find peace!"

Bang!

The Sword Qi swept past their head.

The opponent fell to the ground.

So easily?

Xu Guang felt a sense of unreality.

Even at the last moment, he vaguely felt the person was offering their neck, embracing his Sword Qi.

Looking at the opponent's corpse, his expression suddenly changed.

This person...

was a puppet!

A puppet incredibly realistic, constructed with flesh and blood, appearing just like a true Peak of Innate Martial Artist.

'This is…'

That oppressive unease resurfaced.

'Damn it, this is Jiufeng Mountain!'

Xu Guang couldn't believe it, could someone be targeting Jiufeng Mountain?

But what does it have to do with him?

He felt a little lost.

Squatting down, he tidied up the puppet that resembled a eunuch.

At that moment, a bloodstain suddenly manifested, like a living creature, creeping towards Xu Guang!

Bang!

With a palm strike, Xu Guang crushed that thing with his formidable Qi Force.

Then he bound it with his Qi energy, the droplet of blood seemingly lost its vitality, falling into silence.

...

He returned to Wanhua Institute again, recounting the encounter with the puppet.

Master Fuqing furrowed her brows, showing some doubt as well.

"This puppet was brought in by someone."

Xu Guang was speechless, as Master Fuqing's martial obsession meant she could think even less than him.

But since he had already informed his senior sister about this, Xu Guang decided not to worry anymore; the sect wouldn't trouble him over this.

...

Outside the valley.

At nearly thirteen years old, Du Shizhen, whose height was almost adult-like, was busy in front of the horn flower wood.

"Master!"

Du Shizhen's tone was unusually excited.

Xu Guang looked at him, "Why have you come?"

Speaking of this, Du Shizhen's tone was somewhat aggrieved.

"It was Uncle Fu Qing who had Senior Brother Tang bring me back. She said since I'm your apprentice, there's no need to wait for you to receive a talisman to go with you to Jiufeng Mountain."

Xu Guang was speechless.

He was a rule-abiding person, as was Master Fuqing.

"Never mind, since you're here, stay here and cultivate well from now on."

Du Shizhen nodded vigorously.

After dismissing Du Shizhen, Xu Guang began to reflect on himself. He didn't know why, but he always felt… some qualities in himself attracted that eunuch puppet.

The qualities in himself…

What exactly are they?

Xu Guang's gaze was solemn. He recalled all his memories, and the power of his Divine Thought allowed him to easily remember many things.

Like a mysterious sixth sense, three images constantly appeared in his mind.

The Cyan Ox Mountain where Yu Rong was killed.

The Jade Cicada Secret Treasure Vault.

The Jingming Temple outside Qingshuo County!

These three images were anomalies sensed by his sixth sense, and the image of killing Yu Rong was the clearest.

At that time, Yu Rong died and was resurrected…

He suddenly opened his eyes, taking a deep breath.

His Divine Thought continually scanned his body, as if searching for something.

"Jade Cicada! Come out!"
