Who Brought Him into Chapter 433 - 375: The Small Porcelain Bottle

Chapter 433: Chapter 375: The Small Porcelain Bottle

The pitch-black shadow quietly slipped into the Xiao Mansion, using the moonlit reflections along the way.

Everything proceeded silently, as if rging with the surroundings.

As a result, the guards at the Xiao Mansion could only watch the shadow continuously dart about, turning a blind eye.

In their eyes, this mass of shadow was no different from the other shadows cast in various corners of the courtyard.

Once back in the room, the shadow finally revealed itself as Xiao Shui.

This adventure was rely to confirm whether the stone was indeed the Fire Spirit’s true form.

At the critical mont, he was just separated from the stone by a piece of curtain, but in the end, he didn’t make a move.

"The Nine Sects’ nine in the Realm of Transcendence, one from the Cultivator Institute, and Han Yu..."

Eleven in total in the Realm of Transcendence nearby, getting close was an extre risk, trying to silently take the stone seems nearly impossible.

"This is really hard!"

His intention was not to cause a big commotion, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been lurking in the Xiao Mansion all this ti.

But now, it’s undeniable that this group also ca for the Fire Spirit. He has the spirit body, and they have the true form. An encounter is inevitable, it’s just a matter of ti.

No way to avoid confrontation ca to mind.

For others, Xiao Shui might still find ways around, but Han Yu was soone he couldn’t avoid.

It’s rumored that Han Yu specializes in fire, so the reason he wants the Fire Spirit goes without saying.

This ans there is no room for reconciliation between the two sides.

Han Yu would not give him the stone, and he too could not give him the spirit body.

"I really don’t want to confront you."

Up till now, there were only two people Xiao Shui didn’t want to provoke. One was the person who sought him in the Southern Border, and the other was Han Yu.

First, it’s because of the favor from Han Yu’s two Pills, which pulled his life back. Otherwise, the Celestial Water Sect would have destroyed him that day.

Second, it’s still due to Han Yu’s Pills. With just two Pills, he could ascend in one step, stepping his foot onto the threshold of the Realm of Transcendence.

Only after truly engaging in cultivation did he understand the imnse value of those two Pills back then.

At his age, stepping into the Realm of Transcendence, he was confident that there wouldn’t be more than a handful, and at least among the Celestial Pride List, no outstanding disciple from the Nine Sects could do the sa, only coming infinitely close.

He was different, just those two Pills saved him countless years of painstaking cultivation.

Therefore, the fearso nature of Han Yu’s Pills made him equally wary of Han Yu.

Crreeeak!

He reopened the door to the North Court, once again stepping into where the Fire Spirit was.

The flas imdiately illuminated the dim space, the duck head peeked out, with the small green eyes filled with anger, quacking incessantly.

A spark flew towards him, but as it was about to land, Xiao Shui didn’t want to catch it and dodged with a flash.

"Quack, quack, quack..."

The duck’s call beca sharper, and another spark was sent flying.

Xiao Shui also dodged it, leaving the Fire Spirit hopping madly, almost constrained by its power, otherwise it might peck him to death right away.

"I can’t release you, and you can’t help ; there’s no use in discussing it."

"Quack, quack, quack..."

The Fire Spirit, frustrated, quacked louder, its small green eyes wide open.

Xiao Shui ignored it, not here to argue with the Fire Spirit, but for another thing in the Great Cauldron.

With a flick of his finger, a glow appeared in the Great Cauldron, and soon a moon-white porcelain bottle rose from within.

The Fire Spirit, intending to be troubleso, hastily tried to peck it.

However, the porcelain bottle seed to be sturdier than it anticipated. After a few pecks, the bottle remained unscathed, and instead, its spirit body wobbled, almost dissipating its form.

"Quack, quack, quack..."

The Fire Spirit opened its duck bill, uttering verbal complaints.

"Once you get your true form, those who want to capture you will co too."

Xiao Shui glanced at it with pity, shaking his head.

The Fire Spirit froze, as if recalling sothing terrifying, and then suddenly beca quiet.

A spark flew from its mouth. This ti, Xiao Shui didn’t dodge, and the spark entered his body after which the Fire Spirit began to speak again.

"Can you release the poor old duck? The old duck wants to live; the old duck doesn’t want to die."

That fearso being can definitely kill it.

It had no choice but to fear.

"I’m sorry, you’re afraid, and coincidentally, so am I."

Xiao Shui shook his head helplessly, refusing.

"Release the old duck, and once it returns to its true form, it will help you break through to the Fourth Tier Divine Techniques."

The Fire Spirit tirelessly persuaded.

"When you return to your true form, can you defeat those who capture you?"

Xiao Shui was silent for a mont before speaking.

"Quack..."

The Fire Spirit seed stumped by the question, after a pause, it said.

"The old duck will take you along when it runs."

"Then you just stay here yourself!"

With even the Fire Spirit thinking about running once it returns to its true form, Xiao Shui knew the choice was clear.

"You cannot kill the old duck. The old duck is a spirit of the world, a temporary death does not an its end. The sedints of ti will let the old duck revive in another way."

The Fire Spirit gave up persuading, sticking its neck out, declaring.

"But by then, you will no longer be you."

Xiao Shui shook his head, walking out.

After leaving the North Court, Xiao Shui walked back along the corridor, feeling the chilly cold penetrating his heart.

Suddenly, he stopped, looking back at his own shadow.

The shadow was still the sa shadow.

But Xiao Shui knew that from the mont he decided to use the porcelain bottle, he was no longer the original him...

...

"I miss the old

so much."

Early in the morning, when Ling Wuce ca over, before anything else, he sighed deeply, prompting a sideways glance from Han Yu.

How do you expect

to respond to such philosophical words this early in the morning? Have you thought about that?

"You’re not intending to co early in the morning for a discussion, are you?"

Han Yu glanced at him; this habit of liking to have discussions at a mont’s notice hasn’t changed!

"I gave that up a long ti ago."

Ling Wuce smirked, as if he had no ti for discussions.

"Then what are you lanting about?"

Han Yu asked, curious.

Ling Wuce stretched his old limbs, pretending to be feeble despite being a Great Cultivator.

Complaining nonstop, "Haven’t you realized that ever since Elder Gao took the Six Animals Pill, he hasn’t been minding things?"

An Inspectorate’s Vice Tower Master is here, yet all the Inspectorate’s work has been handed over to him.

"A man fears entering the wrong line, even more so fears being helpful in the wrong way."

Ling Wuce sighed; if he had known, he wouldn’t have been tricked by Quan Xiaotong to represent the Inspectorate in business with the Mo Family.

If he hadn’t gone, he wouldn’t have to run around.

If he didn’t have to run around, he wouldn’t end up doing the Inspectorate’s work.

If he didn’t do Inspectorate work, Quan Xiaotong wouldn’t find him more convenient with use.

"A man my age, becoming a head of intelligence, isn’t that a joke!"

Ling Wuce stroked his white beard, smiling bitterly.

He genuinely felt it. Earlier, as a Spirit Realm Tower Vice Tower Master, he rely handled adding to the cultivation records, perhaps as an adjunct Vice Principal of the Cultivator Institute.

When in a good mood, he might give a lesson on cultivation, in his leisure ti, find soone to discuss to enhance his Divination Path cultivation.

It was much more comfortable than now.

"Surely you didn’t co just to complain?"

Han Yu chuckled at first, but soon spoke again, smiling.

"The complaining is incidental; there’s definitely a reason for finding you."

Ling Wuce sat down before speaking.

The matter still pertained to a previous issue, where a local guardian concealed information about a transcendence realm cultivator in Lian City, making Ling Wuce highly suspicious.

It’s worth noting that whether a guardian cos from the Guardian Bureau, the Inspectorate, or even if disciples from other sects serve as guardians, they all know it’s their duty to understand the forces around the city.

Here, a family with a transcendence realm cultivator in command was concealed by a cultivator from the Guardian Bureau.

Who wouldn’t find it fishy if nothing was going on?
