The number of life-saving pills made by the little white spider is only enough to sustain the lives of sixty-eight people from being poisoned by the toxic air.

"Xiaoruan, Cyan Lotus Sword Blade."

Xiaoruan wielded the sword blade, chopping down several towering trees and hollowing out the middle part to fashion them into boat shapes.

During the tree-cutting process, they provoked the Evil Forest Python of Golden Nine.

Li Cunxu exchanged a glance with the Evil Forest Python, realizing it was an entity he could not provoke, even with a Golden Ban, he couldn't defeat it.

The reason was that both the Evil Forest Python and its mate belonged to the Golden Nine.

Li Cunxu turned and ran, not forgetting to take the felled trees with him before escaping.

Fortunately, the Evil Forest Python was slow and couldn't catch up with Li Cunxu.

Once the boat was constructed, Li Cunxu transferred sixty-eight people from the War Lizard Nest into four wooden boats, standing at the bow, a ball of water served as the power source behind him, heading towards the secret realm crack.

Li Cunxu retraced his steps on the way back, without encountering significant danger, and successfully delivered the people to the secret realm crack.

When Li Cunxu delivered the people to the secret realm crack, a green signal flare lit up the northern sky.

The green signal flare carried the message that Dr. Cang had been found.

After safely escorting the sixty-eight people out of the secret realm, Li Cunxu, carrying a large package of special anti-toxin pills, re-entered the secret realm to continue rescuing others.

Li Cunxu was quite happy to save people, as he had previously been trapped in a secret realm by the Celestial Sweeping Comet, and it was thanks to those rescuers that he could escape smoothly. Now that he had become stronger, he was naturally willing to give back to society, and meanwhile, slaughter beasts and gain merits.

On the fourth day of the rescue operation, in the morning, the rescue mission leader announced the end of the rescue.

This time, the Celestial Sweeping Comet sucked 1,034 people into this secret realm. So far, the rescue operation had saved 621 people, leaving 413 yet to be rescued.

Why abandon the 413 people? Why not continue to save them?

Because it was no longer necessary; they were all dead.

The leader confirmed with a relic that there were no more survivors within the swamp secret realm outside of the rescuers.

...

Li Cunxu asked, "Extreme Crystal Dragon, how many merit points have been gained?"

The Extreme Crystal Dragon said, "Awoo~ (706.3)"

"Can these merit points be used for the correct evolution of the Dark Crossing Crow?"

Extreme Crystal Dragon: "Awoo~ (I need to feel it out.)"

Li Cunxu summoned the Dark Crossing Crow, the Extreme Crystal Dragon closed its eyes and felt it carefully for a while.

"Yes, I sense there are three most suitable evolution paths for the Dark Crossing Crow."

"The first, Light and Dark Crow, requires one hundred merit points for evolution."

"The second, Lightless Crow, requires two hundred merit points for evolution."

"The third, Curse Crow, requires three hundred merit points for evolution."

Li Cunxu replied, "Choose the third, Curse Crow."

The eyes of the Extreme Crystal Dragon became vacant, and its eyes seemed to see countless evolved futures.

"The evolution path of the Curse Crow: consume ten grams of Spirit-Dropping Dust, a Cursed Puppet, Fearsome Curse Apple, White Mugwort, Hillside Fruit..."

"The final step, cast a special curse on the Dark Crossing Crow, the more unique the curse, the better the effect."

The resources needed for the evolution of the Curse Crow are all curse-type resources, extremely hard to purchase, some even being downright impossible to obtain.

Li Cunxu could only slowly find a way to gather them.

As for the final step, casting a special curse on the Dark Crossing Crow?

Li Cunxu already had an idea.

A few days later, his sister Li Anle sent a message, saying that their grandfather Li Shiji's enemies were no longer a concern, as their grandfather had already taken care of them alone.

However, a new problem had emerged.

Li Shiji wanted to meet him.

Meeting with family should have been an ordinary matter, but Li Anle added a coded message that only Li Cunxu and Li Anle understood.

The message meant, "Whatever you do, don't meet with Grandfather, he wants to kill you."

Why does Li Shiji want to kill me?

Li Cunxu was puzzled.

Li Cunxu considered it for a moment and still decided to meet Li Shiji.

It's better to know why he suddenly wants to kill him.

The meeting location was arranged at a café next to Shendu University.

The evening was descending, and the neon lights began to flicker on.

A retro-style café stood quietly at the corner of the street's end.

Along the bronzed bar counter, the barista focused intently on grinding coffee beans, the sound of the mortar and pestle producing a dull yet rhythmic noise.

The air was thick with the rich aroma of coffee, a taste both rich and slightly bitter, mingling with the soft lighting and the low murmurs of the patrons, creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

Li Cunxu quietly enjoyed this calming ambiance, softly stroking the Extreme Crystal Dragon on his lap.

Suddenly, the weathered wooden door swung open, and a refined and gentle uncle walked in.

As the uncle approached, a murderous aura spread.

Li Cunxu's hair stood on end, turning to look at the source of the killing intent.

It was his handsome grandpa, Li Shiji.

From the murderous aura, Li Cunxu sensed Li Shiji genuinely wanted to tear him apart.

Li Shiji tossed a compass onto the table; it spun around and eventually settled, its needle pointing towards Li Cunxu.

Suppressing his anger, Li Shiji said, "Explain why the Third-Level Treasure Pursuer Compass pointed to you? Why did the Fourth-Level Treasure Pursuer Divination Stick show your name?"

Li Cunxu was stunned, and before he could regain his senses, Li Shiji continued to interrogate him.

"Why did you wipe out your uncle, your third and fourth uncles and their families? What did they do to provoke you to seek such revenge?"

Li Cunxu's mind worked rapidly, quickly piecing together the cause and effect, and he said, almost laughing at the absurdity of it all.

"It's a misunderstanding. I didn't kill my uncle, or my third and fourth uncles and their families."

"So you're saying the Fourth-Level Treasure Pursuer Divination Stick and the Third-Level Treasure Pursuer Compass were wrong?"

"Yes, and no."

Li Shiji's eyes turned unfriendly, his pupils transformed into the Demon Lotus Eye full of demonic energy.

The little girl playing piano in the café seemed to sense the invisible killing intent and dared not continue playing.

"I want to see how you attempt to explain your way out of this."

Li Cunxu removed the Space Ring, tossing it to the left of the Pursuer Compass, whose needle pointed towards the Space Ring.

Li Cunxu held the Space Ring over the Pursuer Compass, and the needle moved in circles following the ring.

"Actually, the Pursuer Compass wasn't pointing to me as the culprit, but rather to this. The Pursuer Divination Stick showed my name not because I was the perpetrator, but because the perpetrator was under my possession."

Li Cunxu took out the Demon Lotus Eye from the Space Ring, the Demon Lotus Eye circled the compass, and the needle followed it.

Seeing the eye with the same demon lotus pattern as his own, Li Shiji asked, "Where did you get these Demon Lotus Eyes?"

"From Li Shiyin."

Second brother?

"How did his eyes end up with you?"

"Because I killed him, or rather, I counter-killed him."

Li Cunxu recounted the entire story from start to finish.

Li Shiyin created an opportunity to meet me by chance and attempted to plant a Seed of Animosity against me.

Later, when he saw my outstanding performance at Shendu University, his vindictiveness surged, and he aimed to kill me ahead of time.

But because I invented the Spirit Crystal, I received a protective jade from the old chairman and countered Li Shiyin's attack, killing him.

After Li Shiyin's death, his Magic Lotus Eye Pupil Technique: Seed of Animosity spiraled out of control, leading enemies to harbor extreme hostility, and it was this extreme hostility brought by the Seed of Animosity that caused the deaths of my uncle, third uncle, and fourth uncle.
