"I will!"
Bai Ziyue nodded silently, speaking with determination.
"By the way, how many acupoints have you ignited now?"
Daoist Wan Hong thought for a mont, then suddenly asked.
"One thousand one hundred."
Bai Ziyue did not hide it. By now, he had no need to hide it.
Because even if others knew he possessed treasures, they dared not entertain any ideas.
His strength was already sufficient to protect himself.
"..."
Master Wan Hong’s breath hitched, suddenly unable to speak.
Even though he had already guessed that Bai Ziyue’s number of ignited acupoints must be vast,
the number reaching into the thousands still shocked him imnsely.
*To know that throughout the entire Sunrise Daoist Sect, or even the entire Desolate Ancient Realm, the known maximum number of ignited acupoints was only eight hundred.*
*Compared to Bai Ziyue’s one thousand one hundred, what a massive gap.*
*He could hardly imagine.*
*Thinking of his prowess now, everything made sense.*
*How could he possibly unleash such world-shattering strength without such a massive number of ignited acupoints?*
"I should have guessed long ago that you’re collecting acupoints to forge a supre foundation, achieving Perfection in Primordial Acupoints to break through to the Divine Realm.*
*What kind of confidence made think I could offer you guidance?*"
*I myself relied on the Divine Pill to break through, not even clear on the process, yet I wanted to play teacher?*
"*Truly a bit too self-confident.*
Master Wan Hong’s face darkened, muttering to himself to cover up his awkwardness, then perford a Daoist salute and said, "Farewell!"
Then he quickly flew away.
Bai Ziyue touched his nose, speechless.
*He really wanted to ask so questions about the breakthrough.*
...
Thinking about it, most of his goals for this journey had already been achieved. He had delivered two divine techniques, and also acquired the acupoint map and the route map to the Outer Realm... Along with the preparations he had made before the last twelve quota competition, many things were already arranged.
Thus, Bai Ziyue had no further thoughts of returning to the mountain gate.
With a pat on the head, the Little Black Dog swiftly turned and raced back along the path.
Next, Bai Ziyue planned to return to his birthplace, see his parents one last ti, and make so arrangents, which would calm his mind.
On the journey, Bai Ziyue began to review the gains from his series of transactions.
"Including the one from the Sect Leader, I have harvested a total of nine acupoint diagrams.
Among these nine acupoint diagrams, the number of recorded acupoints ranges from over twelve hundred to over nine hundred."
Bai Ziyue stretched out his hand, arranging the nine Jade Scroll Eyes that recorded the acupoint maps in his hand.
*He felt a bit nervous!*
*This ti, he had visited almost all the nearby sects. If he still couldn’t collect all twelve hundred and ninety-six acupoints, he really didn’t know when he would be able to do so.*
"Only seventeen acupoints left, I hope I can complete them all."
Bai Ziyue thought silently, then began to use his Divine Sense to ’examine’ the Jade Scroll Eyes one by one, comparing the number of acupoints, extracting those positions that he lacked.
"One acupoint, two acupoints."
Bai Ziyue’s eyes lit up as he found two acupoints in the first Jade Scroll Eye.
After putting down the second one, a deep disappointnt appeared on his face. The thousand acupoints recorded within it all overlapped with what he had collected.
Then ca the third, fourth, fifth...
"Fifteen acupoints, sixteen acupoints..."
Putting down the seventh Jade Scroll Eye, Bai Ziyue’s eyes were faintly bright.
Only one left.
He quickly swept his Divine Sense over the eighth Jade Scroll Eye again.
"Found it! The seventeenth one!"
His body trembled violently, his face showing ecstatic joy.
"*I really am, struggling so much.*
*After enduring countless hardships, the Heavens have finally rewarded my efforts, collecting all twelve hundred and ninety-six acupoints.*
*Next, as long as I proceed thodically to ignite all remaining acupoints, I can achieve Perfection in Primordial Acupoints, forge the foundation of supre roots, and break through the Divine Realm!*"
Bai Ziyue thought silently, his heart surging with excitent, revealing a distinctly enthusiastic expression.
*At least from now on, he would no longer have to worry about the issue of acupoint positions.*
*The only thing he needed to consider was just igniting all the remaining acupoints.*
*For him, this was not difficult. The only thing he lacked was Soul Energy.*
...
Wuu Kingdom, Celestial Spirit County, Wujiang County.
Upon setting foot in Wujiang County once again, Bai Ziyue couldn’t help but feel a sense of hosickness.
*Thinking back to the days when he lived here, entered the Sunburst Gang Headquarters, took on positions, practiced Martial Arts, and experienced battles... These events seed to have happened ages ago, but in reality, it had only been a year.*
"A year felt like a fleeting mont to .
But this place didn’t seem to have changed much."
His gaze fell on the streets of Wujiang County, where lanterns hung and shops lined the roads, seemingly unchanged from when he left.
The only change might be the buildings, which had deepened in color, leaving so marks of ti.
Notably, there was more foot traffic, which gave an impression of prosperity.
Bai Ziyue stepped onto the street and walked for a while until he reached a clothing shop that combined two storefronts.
Under the blazing sun, even though the street was bustling, few people walked around, and the clothing shop had no custors at the mont.
He lifted his head, and his eyes fell on the shop’s sign.
"Bai Family Clothing Shop!"
He withdrew his gaze, and his eyes beca complex.
...
"Dear, the purple brocade fabric is running out, send soone to fetch more, and also the white cloth that can only be sold for three to five days, isn’t quite enough either."
"I’ll have soone go right away."
"Also, Old Mrs. Xu’s batch of clothing should be made with the finest materials, they’re precious, so you must personally deliver them, don’t let anyone else dirty them."
"And regarding the land rent, you must pay attention, don’t be fooled by others easily. We are keeping the house for our son, can’t let others take advantage frivolously.
Especially Chang Wei, who tricked us last ti by renting out a hundred acres with a three-tenths rent, and then turned around and rented it out to others with a five-tenths rent. Our kindheartedness only benefited others."
"However, Jiu Xiaoyue’s family is truly in difficulty, if we can help them, let’s do it. Her tavern’s business hasn’t been great lately, if they pay the rent, return it to them and ask later when they’re more solvent.
Or maybe we should buy so wine, her family’s wine is quite good, unlike others who heartlessly add water."
"Hmm? Are you listening?"
Hee Honghua sorted the fabric while she nagged, and seeing her husband still unresponsive, turned around to find her husband staring at the doorway. Following his gaze, she saw a handso young man with an extraordinary aura standing there.
Her body shivered, the precious brocade in her hand fell to the ground, but she didn’t care, her eyes reddened, and she exclaid, "Yue’er?!"
"Dad, Mom!"
Bai Ziyue stepped forward.
"You... Where have you been for the past year? Couldn’t you co back to visit?"
Hee Honghua reproached but simultaneously gripped Bai Ziyue’s hand, anxiously scrutinizing him up and down, fearing he had suffered outside.
"It’s good to be back, good to be back."
Bai Yong chid in, unable to contain his excitent.
"Yue’er, now that you’re back, you’re not leaving again, are you?"
Hee Honghua quickly asked.
Bai Ziyue went silent.
Observing this, Bai Yong quickly said, "A good man is ambitious, he can’t stay in a small place like Wujiang County. Going out and seeing the world is beneficial.
We can’t be like us, guarding such wealth aimlessly, circling around to open this clothing shop and make little business."
"By the way, you haven’t seen your younger brother, have you? He’s sothing else now, chosen by the Sunburst Gang Leader himself and taken as a disciple. He might surpass you in the future."
He continued, sowhat proudly.
"That’s great. With the Gang Leader looking after him, I’m relieved."
Bai Ziyue smiled, realizing why his Divine Sense had discovered his brother residing in Gang Leader Jiangg Tao’s estate.
Considering that he had asked him to take care of the family before, it seed he had done a good job.
...
At night, the family had dinner together.
Bai Ziyue looked at his parents and said, "Dad, Mom, this ti I’ve gone out, it might be a long ti before I can return.
Luckily, with my brother here to fulfill filial duties, I can be at ease.
However, this world is extraordinary, with many dangers and calamities.
Thus, I will leave so things to lay a foundation for the Bai Family, to prepare for unknown dangers."
As Bai Ziyue spoke, he waved his hand, and eighty-one Array Discs appeared in the void, quickly arranged around the Bai Family estate.
Then, he casually took out a Long Sword and gave it a slight toss.
The Long Sword pierced the sky, vanishing imdiately.
But the entire Array was activated.
Soon, the Array concealed itself, without drawing any attention from outside.
"This is a Second-grade High-tier Array, the Starlight Ascending Dipper Grand Array. Through this Array, it will automatically attract the Power of Stars within, and over the years, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi inside the estate will beco more abundant.
In such an environnt, even doing nothing, it fosters well-being and extends life."
Bai Ziyue explained, then turned his hand, revealing a Storage Bag, saying, "This Storage Bag contains twelve puppets, with enough Spirit Stones to power them for ten years. As long as the Essence Blood refines them, they could be utilized directly.
Among them, four puppets are equivalent to Innate Realm Martial Artists, do not easily bring them out unless it’s a matter of life and death."
