Han Yu looked at his cousin's expression and thought something had happened.

After his cousin came in, he sat down by the table, letting out a series of long sighs.

"I'm going to be dragged back again."

In the latter half of the night, the Mo Family moved all the Spirit Stones, and after a slight rest back in the city, it was already dawn.

His cousin was forcibly awakened by Mo Xingzhi in his sleep. Now the Mo Family was all set to leave Ink Cloud Mansion early this morning.

"Go back then! I thought something was wrong."

Han Yu glanced at him, calmly poured him a glass of water, and chuckled.

His cousin immediately looked worried, replying with deep resentment, "You and that mundane person talk big because you're free to roam outside, while once I'm back, I'm like a sheltered maiden, finding it hard even to go out."

After saying this, there was an extra item on the table.

Han Yu glanced at it; it was a token, engraved with various runes, quite similar in design to the one he had.

"Didn't you give me a difficult problem in Shuzhou City? Here, this thing is yours now."

His cousin pushed the token over, and Han Yu, looking puzzled, picked it up and fiddled with it.

"Didn't the mundane person say it was impossible to make? Was it just to kill time, and you actually made it?"

Seeing Han Yu's disbelief, his cousin took out another one, activated its SOS feature, and quickly started writing on its surface.

Han Yu watched as the small characters "Ink Cloud City" gradually appeared on the token he held, and his mouth kept opening wider and wider.

"Your friend is impressive."

In the Sea of Consciousness, Glass jumped out, also with a face full of admiration. It was rare to see this thing praise anyone.

As Han Yu was shocked, his cousin was filled with deep resentment, sighing continuously, "If I had the mundane person's adaptability and escape skills, I wouldn't be stuck at home all the time."

After saying this, he couldn't help but look at Han Yu, "Or at least be tough like you! You were half-dead in the middle of the night and are now jumping around again."

Han Yu put away his shock and swapped the tokens, rolling his eyes at him and saying with irritation, "The mundane person says I'm a Body Cultivator, not just tough."

Even as he said this, Han Yu was secretly astonished. Last time, when he encountered the blind man and the widow, he was covered in bruises yet recovered after just a day of sleep. This time, such severe internal injuries healed with just half a night's rest.

"Is my body really tough?"

He secretly asked Glass.

Glass in the Sea of Consciousness elongated its round face, responding irritably, "Why don't you find some time to blow yourself up again and see?"

Better not!

It's not worth it.

If something terrible happens, there'd be no place to cry.

His cousin sat for a while longer, then got up with a worried face, and as he reached the door, he turned back and said, "If you get tired of the Northern Border, come to the Eastern Territory and visit."

——

A cargo ship was docked by the Bailu River outside Ink Cloud City, arranged by Mo Xingzhi. When his cousin arrived, the Profound Wind Tribe members had just finished the simple modifications.

With too many Spirit Stones, traveling by land was indeed inconvenient; the water route was the better choice. As for the cargo ship, it was enough to make do and return now.

The old steward and Mo Xingzhi were already on board, waiting. His cousin boarded the ship with sighs, "Could you let me stay a little longer before heading back?"

His cousin asked, still unwilling to give up.

Mo Xingzhi's large hand reached over and pulled him by his side, saying in a muffled voice, "You can come out, but you'd have to talk to your father about it."

His cousin was despondent, knowing that once back, there's no hope of making such a proposal, as Mo Yushu always had the final say, leaving no chance to speak.

With hope, he glanced at the old steward, hoping he might nod in approval.

But after a brief eye contact with the steward, he deliberately turned away.

Mo Xingzhi patted his cousin's head and said irritably, "The group's Corpse Refiners outside haven't revealed their intentions yet, and you dare run around; are you not concerned about your life!"

Recently, only so little time had passed since a Divine Gaze Realm had caused trouble in Shuzhou City.

With that event unresolved, his cousin's idea of running wild outside was out of the question.

Hearing this, his cousin was stunned, as he had really forgotten about the Corpse Refining Lineage's issue during his leisurely days, and his Sixth Uncle's reminder brought back the memory of a Divine Gaze Realm Black Robe ready to destroy them out of anger.

Uncertain if the person was still lurking in Shuzhou City.

Thinking of Shuzhou City, his cousin snapped to attention, remembering something else.

Back in his cousin's Government Office, there were people from the Celestial Water Sect looking for Han Yu.

Their previous meetings had been rushed, with Han Yu fleeing in distress during their first encounter, and his cousin seeking help during the second. They had parted ways at the inn without time to think.

His cousin hastily took out the token, activated the spell slot, and quickly scribbled.

——

Han Yu suddenly felt the vibration from his pocket and took out the token. The words "Smoke Wave Mansion" appeared on the surface and then vanished, replaced by the character "Heaven," and then there was nothing further.

"What does this mean?"

Han Yu was completely baffled, pressing the spell slot in confusion and replying, "What is it?"

After sending the message, he waited a whole tea break but received no response from his cousin.

This was puzzling; just a place name was given with no explanation of what was needed, so was it a request for help?

"What do you think it means?"

He asked Glass in the Sea of Consciousness.

Glass mimicked Han Yu's eye-rolling expression and said, "How would I know? You should seek out top-notch cultivators. A year will pass quickly, and if you aren't diligent, you'll be done for in a year."

Damn it, bringing up the most pressing issue, Han Yu's mood was utterly ruined early in the morning.

"Are you sure you can't kill him?"

Han Yu wasn't ready to abandon his previous thought and asked again.

Glass chuckled coldly, saying that since the Life Firming Pill was involved, the old madman couldn't die during his vegetal state.

——

Ink Cloud City's Government Office.

Zhu Yu returned with a dazed feeling.

How did it become a Top-Grade Spirit Root?

His master rushed down from the mountain upon seeing the golden light back then.

That kid Lin Fei truly became his junior brother, both becoming disciples under the Sect Leader.

He absolutely couldn't comprehend how someone with ordinary five-element spirit root suddenly transformed into a Top-Grade Spirit Root.

A Palace Guard hastened over, speaking urgently, "Sir, the city is buzzing with stories about a Ginseng King that has reached maturity eight miles outside the city, reportedly growing a human head."

Zhu Yu furrowed his brows and immediately rebuked his subordinate, "Why are you reporting such nonsense; are you too idle?"

The guard wiped the sweat from his forehead and hastily explained, "The key is, a group of Wild Cultivators went there and have now returned. They claim to have witnessed it."

Zhu Yu sneered, "If there was such a fortune, they'd hardly return empty-handed."

"But these Junior Cultivators returned to the city with picks and red silk and dashed off again."

——

"You truly won't give up. You couldn't even burn him with your Fire Divine Power, so how could spreading rumors about it lead this group of Junior Cultivators to deal with it."

Glass couldn't comprehend Han Yu's actions.

Han Yu naturally knew this group of Junior Cultivators would be useless, but he couldn't let that guy live in comfort, taking root and enjoying himself for a year.

At the very least, make him miserable!
