  One five-star Spiritual Instrument meant three days of sleep. After eating two of them, Chen Xiaobei slept for a total of six days and six nights.

  As for the Head Piercing Seven Arrows sigil’s prayer ritual, Chen Xiaobei had already arranged for Old Wang to take care of it.

  The old man was a master at cursing others. By the third day, he had already completed the ritual.

  All that was left for Chen Xiaoebi to do was to shoot the grass puppet, then he would be able to kill Ji Xiong without having to meet him.

  On the evening of the sixth day, Chen Xiaobei awoke from his sleep and exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi.

  He then immediately looked into the changes that had taken place.

  Ding!

  [Cultivation: Middle-phase of Celestial Cultivation; Lifespan: 70 years; Health: 13,400; Combat power: 98,700]

  “Sweet! Just by waking from my sleep and my health has increased by 6,000!” Chen Xiaobei said excitedly. “With that being said, my Primordial Witch Combat Enhancement Skill can finally unleash its full potential! The most important thing is that my health has increased to 130,000! And this will allow me to block the attacks from pinnacle phase Celestial cultivated elites face to face!”

  Chen Xiaobei stretched lazily, got off the bed to take a good shower, and changed into a fresh set of clothing.

  He then took his phone out.

  Throughout the six days that he had been asleep, there was an accummulation of five missed phone calls.

  Two of them were from Wenren Jinghao, and the other three were from Gu Congwen.

  Chen Xiaobei called the former first.

  “Mr. Chen, are you cultivating in seclusion? I couldn’t reach you!” Wenren Jinghao asked.

  “Yes! I had a lot of free time recently, so I decided to cultivate for a few days. What is it that you wanted to talk to me about, Elder Wenren?”

  “I’ve found two of the three herbal medicine you asked me to find. The last one, the Lucidity Weed is really difficult to find!”

  The two Spiritual Medicine that Wenren Jinghao found were the ingredients for making Heavenly Dog Biscuits.

  At that very moment, being bogged down with all the crisis that had been happening, Chen Xiaobei was in urgent need of the biscuits to help him overcome the problem.

  Even though Wenren Jinghao had only acquired two of the ingredients, it was good news to Chen Xiaobei.

  “Wow! You found two already in such a short time! I’m coming to get them now!”

  “You can, but I’m not home. You can just ask for them from the security guard!”

  “Alright!” Chen Xiaobei nodded. “Oh, before I forget, how many Spiritual Stones did the two Spiritual Medicine cost? I’ll pay what I owe you to the guard!”

  “Mr. Chen! Why are you being a stranger again? You helped cure Muyue’s sickness, and yet you never asked for a single Spiritual Stone from me! You are one of us now. So, it’s only obligatory for us to treat each other with candor! Just take the Spiritual Medicines! If you mention the Spiritual Stones again, then that would mean you are looking down on me!”

  “Alright, if you say so. I will honor your decision!” Chen Xiaobei promised.

  “I will continue to look for the last herb. I will inform you if I find anything!” Wenren Jinghao paused for a moment before he continued. “I have a favor I’d like to ask of you.”

  “Elder Wenren, you told me not be stranger, but why are you being the stranger now? If you have anything you need, just tell me. If it’s within my power to do it, I will surely do it!”

  “Alright well it goes like this… the Elite Hunting competition is in three days, and it’s taking place in the Overgrown Forest Planet! After Muyue took the medicine you prescribed, she no longer experiences any episodes. Right now, she’s thinking of joining the hunt! The thing is, she has not completely recovered yet! No matter how many times I repeatedly dissuade her from going, she keeps telling me that she does not have long to live so she must seize every moment to go out more and explore!”

  “The prescription I gave Ms. Wenren is only missing one last Spiritual Medicine! We still have five more months. Once we find the medicine, she will be completely cured!”

  “That’s for sure! I’ve been searching everywhere for that Spiritual Medicine! And I also trust Mr. Chen!” Wenren Jinghao’s tone then turned despondent. “But, if I don’t find it… I really don’t want Muyue to depart this life with regrets. That’s why I agreed to let her join the hunt!”.

  “Mm, you made the right decision!” Chen Xiaobei replied tactfully and was sharp; he immediately understood what the Elder was implying. “So, Elder Wenren wants me to go with Ms. Wenren to the hunting competition. Is that right?”

  “Yes! That’s what I meant!” Wenren Jinghao said. “Since Muyue hasn’t fully recovered yet, I will only feel at ease if Mr. Chen goes with her! Of course, the Elite Hunting Competition is very dangerous, so I understand if you refuse my request!”

  “I’m willing to go with her.” Chen Xiaobei replied.

  He had already planned to join the competition anyway.

  Although Gu Congwen had already made some arrangements, there was still a chance his identity could be exposed.

  But if he goes with Wenren Muyue, he could pass himself off as a zero-star Black-Steel recruit. No one would suspect anything.

  “Good! Good! Good! I’m so relieved that you are going with her!” Wenren Muyue sounded pleased.

  After he hung up the phone, Chen Xiaobei immediately left the secret place to pick up the two Spiritual Medicines from Wenren’s place.

  He then dropped by Northern Chamber of Commerce to see Gu Congwen.

  “My oh my! My dear Mr. Chen, you came! It’s been so many days! My nerves were nearly fried up just worrying about you!” Gu Chongwen came to greet him personally.

  “Why? What is it that made you so worried?”

  “It’s about the Elite Hunting Competition!” Gu Chongwen’s face turned scarlet. “I swore to you that I would help you take care of the participating qualifications, but the person I found told me that people from other starfields are not allowed to join! No matter how hard I tried to convince him, he wouldn’t agree to it!”

  “Oh, so does that mean I can’t go?”

  Chen Xiaobei did not do much as flinch at the news; in fact, he wanted to laugh.

  “I’m so sorry! I really very sorry to have let you down! I made promises to you without first getting to know all the details! I got you all excited for nothing! It’s all my fault!” Gu Congwen said sincerely. “To make up for my mistake, I’ve decided to give you a present! I hope you can forgive me!”

  Gu Congwen whipped out a wooden box as he spoke.

  “What is inside?” Chen Xiaobei asked.

  “Lucidity Weed!” Gu Congwen opened the box and revealed a magical plant.

  “Wow! Wenren Jinghao couldn’t even find it but you did!” Chen Xiaobei’s eyes lit up.

  Seven days ago, Chen Xiaobei had asked both Wenren Jinghao and Gu Congwen to find the 3 Spiritual Medicines. Wenren Jinghao had only found two of them and had a hard time looking for the Lucidity Weed.

  He actually did not expect Gu Congwen to find anything.

  Who knew that this old man actually found the one thing that was so difficult to find!

  Now that he had the Lucidity Weed, Chen Xiaobei could start making the Heavenly Dog Biscuits once he got back. They would give him an incredibly useful boost!

  “Alright! I forgive you!” Chen Xiaonbei grinned and took the wooden box from Gu Congwen.

  “Oh, I forgot to tell you something. Wenren Muyue has already helped me get in the competition.”

  Chen Xiaobei smirked.
