Once the impurities are burned away, it can be taken as a potion to replenish the Spirit.
The efficiency of refining the Spirit is far faster than having Chai Asi take the leader position of that martial arts tournament.
The great Ancient God scanned the surroundings, seemingly lost in thought for a moment...
Everything that happens in the Divine Path Space, the demons outside are completely unaware of it.
Pig Dali walked to the strangely patterned paper door, seemingly less afraid, still holding up his hands, slowly turning back: "The Fifth Lord is inside."
Chai Asi remembered the teachings of the Ancient Divine Venerable, only raised his chin coldly, signaling the lackey in front to open the door.
The paper door retreated to both sides, and the sinister demon’s pattern was split from the middle.
Thus revealing a rather spacious quiet room behind the paper door.
In the quiet room was a hunchbacked figure, dressed in a gray Daoist robe, sitting quietly with his back to the door, facing the wall.
He was Yuan Laoxi, the curator of the Old Ape Tavern, the most senior incense leader of the Fruit and Flower Club’s Water Curtain Pavilion.
On the wall in front of him hung a large piece of calligraphy.
Its every stroke exuded divine elegance, surely the work of a master of the School of Names.
It wrote the word "Quiet."
Indeed, everything here was very quiet, so quiet that the new Little Monster felt a bit uneasy.
Below the word "Quiet," against the wall, was a wooden sword stand with a long sword resting on it.
Yuan Laoxi sat facing the sword.
Without turning around, he asked, "I heard you have something to discuss with me?"
Chai Asi, having even killed Yuan Yong, naturally shouldn’t fear Yuan Laoxi, who was already recognized as no match for Yuan Yong. Yet, he felt an inexplicable tension.
"Regarding regular payments," he stirred his throat and said.
"Dali, give him sixteen Five Coin King Money," Yuan Laoxi said calmly, "Being able to walk into this place on his own is worthy of such double payment."
"No, Fifth Lord, I mean the regular payments for the entire Flower Street, the entire Fruit and Flower Club," said Chai Asi.
There was a moment of silence in the room before Yuan Laoxi said, "Dali, you go upstairs first."
Pig Dali said nothing, turned around, and walked upstairs.
Only when his footsteps disappeared did Yuan Laoxi say, "Tell me."
At this time, Chai Asi stood outside the door, while Yuan Laoxi sat inside the room.
The empty quiet room itself was their distance.
Before obtaining the Ancient divine mirror, Chai Asi never imagined he could cross such a distance.
But now he knew very well he only needed to step forward.
And this was not his end.
He adjusted his mood and said angrily, "Yuan Yong led his men to extort money from each household. I’ve already paid regular payments here, and he wants to collect it again. Not satisfied with extortion, he insulted me, beat me, smashed my home to pieces, and even... even destroyed my grandfather’s shrine!"
"So, you came here today to file a complaint with me?" Yuan Laoxi still didn’t turn around, only letting out a low laugh: "Or do you want to testify so I can take you to the meeting leader for a chance to denounce Yuan Yong?"
"I killed him," Chai Asi said.
The room fell silent.
Yuan Laoxi slowly stood up.
His once hunched figure gradually straightened during the process of standing.
The momentum was slow at the start, but as soon as he was completely upright, it was as fast as lightning. As he turned, the long sword on the stand was already out of its sheath. With a clang, a cold light flashed, and he crossed the entire quiet room in an instant, slashing right in front!
Chai Asi had only taken three steps.
Of course, these three steps were taken under the guidance of the Ancient God.
He stepped right into the middle of the slash point, made a simple sideways move, and the rusty iron sword was perfectly aligned in front of his abdomen.
The sword edge almost grazed his nose, slicing through the air!
Yuan Laoxi had two very distinctive white eyebrows that flared during the leap and slash, adding to his fierce appearance. Now, as he suddenly retreated and stood still, the white eyebrows drooped down to his eyes, making him appear benevolent.
He flicked backwards, and the long sword returned to its sheath, resting silently on the sword stand, as if nothing had happened.
"Fifth Lord won’t try again?" Chai Asi retracted the horizontal iron sword, speaking calmly.
Yuan Laoxi lifted his eyelids slightly: "The fist fears the young and strong, if I try again, I’m afraid you’ll beat me to death."
He continued, "Come in and sit."
The words sounded like self-deprecation, but there was some truth to it. He was well aware of his current physical condition, having been devoured too harshly by demons, each strike he made was one less strike he could muster.
Unless he borrowed the power of demon possession, but he was not willing to bear the cost of rashly using that power...
The quiet room was spacious, with a low table covered with tea sets on the left side against the wall, in a place invisible from the outside door.
Two mats served as seats.
Yuan Laoxi led Chai Asi to sit down and personally poured him tea, his hand wrinkled but steady: "I’m curious, where did you learn your swordsmanship?"
Chai Asi sat upright, despite his tattered clothes, carrying the威 gained from killing Yuan Yong and retreating Yuan Laoxi. He exuded a strong demeanor, akin to a lofty mountain: "Is that really important?"
"You don’t have to say," Yuan Laoxi said with a faint smile, "The question was merely to satisfy an old man’s curiosity and to understand a partner better."
"With you saying it like that, I can’t help but reveal..." Chai Asi seemed to make a significant decision, speaking in a deep voice, "It’s actually my family heritage Swordsmanship."
