“It’s not intentional?” Zhang Chu almost cried. “This is ridiculous! The Fiend Temple is trying to ruin my Righteous Sect!”
The green-clad swordsman said with a smile, “I don’t think the old man did this on purpose.”
“Really?” When Zhang Chu realized the shameful position he was in, he quickly tidied his robes and rose to his feet.
“Mhm…” The green-clad swordsman nodded. “If you’re offended, I’ll apologize to you on his behalf.”
A frown appeared on Zhang Chu’s face. He said irritably, “Who are you to apologize on his behalf? Just who do you think you are?”
Zhang Chu’s voice had barely faded when the sword on the green-clad swordsman’s back vibrated. It flew out and returned to its sheath in just a blink of an eye.
Not even its shadow could be seen, but Zhang Chu’s thumb had already been severed from his hand. It happened so quickly that he did not even feel the pain.
“My name’s Yu Shangrong,” the green-clad swordsman said with an affable smile, “There’s no need to be afraid. I never kill without a reason.”
“…”
“I’m sorry for intruding upon your hospitality. Farewell.” Yu Shangrong turned around and left. He disappeared into the forest in just a blink of an eye.
Zhang Chu hissed in pain when he pressed the stump where his thumb once was. At the same time, another hot stream of liquid trailed down his legs again!

…
Four hours later.
In the Evil Sky Pavilion’s great hall.
Ding Fanqiu shivered as he kneeled on the floor. He kept glancing around his surroundings. The great hall was not very impressive, but this was the real Evil Sky Pavilion after all. He was so frightened that he did not even dare to breathe loudly.
Duanmu Sheng and Mingshi Yin stood respectfully at the side.
Lu Zhou looked at Ding Fanqiu. Although this man had impersonated him, he was a Five-leaf Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm cultivator from Yun Sect. If Hua Wudao acted just as Duan Xing had predicted, this meant that Hua Wudao would be here soon to resolve the knot in his heart. Therefore, as a person from Yun Sect, Ding Fanqiu still had his use. He waved his hand. “Lock him up.”
“Understood.” Duanmu Sheng picked Ding Fanqiu up and left the great hall.
“Also, if you see Hua Wudao, tell him to come meet me at once.”
“Yes, master.”
Lu Zhou glanced at the Derived Moon Palace’s female cultivator who was standing at the side. He stroked his beard and asked, “How’s Ye Tianxin doing these days?”
The female cultivator immediately fell to her knees with a thud. She was so frightened that she could barely speak coherently.
When Pan Zhong saw this, he cupped his hands together and said, “In reply to your question, Pavilion Master, apart from being weak, she seems fine.”
Lu Zhou nodded. With the constitution of the Bais, this ailment was nothing. Before the truth of the Fish Dragon Village incident was revealed, he had no plans of doing anything to Ye Tianxin. Finally, he said curtly, “I’m tired.”
“Have a good rest, master.”
Lu Zhou rose to his feet and went into the hidden chamber. He had no time to read the Heavenly Writing during the past two days. His mental state was slightly worse compared to before.

“6,000… I’m still about 1,000 short.” Lu Zhou frowned. He could not afford an avatar yet. They were too expensive. ‘Looks like I’ll have to think of a way to earn more merit points after this.’
Since he had not completed the investigation of the Fish Dragon Village incident, he, naturally, did not receive his handsome reward yet.
“Lucky draw.”
“Ding! Spent 50 merit points on a lucky draw. Thanks for participating. Luck +1.”
“I wonder if I’ll still miss if I choose a lucky draw again.” Lu Zhou decisively spent his merit points on another lucky draw.
“Ding! Spent 50 merit points on a lucky draw. Luck: 8. Obtained avatar: Five Energies Universe.”
“…”‘Really?’
The actual avatar would have cost him more than 8,000 merit points, and yet, he had somehow obtained it for 50 merit points?
However, just like the logic of, ‘If only I had known, I would have gone for the seventh jar’, he knew he would not have this stroke of good luck if he did not experience the setbacks from before.
“Use.” The Four Mighty Quadrants avatar was immediately replaced by the Five Energies Universe avatar. This was a state of having one’s five energies return to the dantian’s sea of Qi after connecting the Ren and Du Meridians. However, Lu Zhou had connected the meridians a long time ago. Hence, when he obtained the Five Energies Universe avatar, Primal Qi surged and flowed into his body like an incoming tide. It felt extremely comfortable.
After that, Lu Zhou spent some time getting used to his new avatar. He felt that there was a profound improvement in his cultivation base. He sighed as he stretched his limbs. “I need some Reversal Cards.”
It was true that he got more, ‘Thanks for participating’, than an actual item from his past lucky draws. However, he could tell that he made a profit in general.
“Lucky draw.”
“Ding! Spent 50 merit points on a lucky draw. Thanks for participating. Luck +1.”
He did five consecutive draws, and the outcomes were the same.
After obtaining the Five Energies Universe avatar, Lu Zhou was not affected by the five failures. He could increase his luck points anyway. He could accept anything so long as it was not some useless item.
Lu Zhou made no further attempts at the lucky draw. Instead, he opened the items column. He wanted to see if there were any newly available item cards.
“What’s this?” At the bottom of the list, Lu Zhou noticed a purple box where he had expected to see an item card.
There was a note that read, ‘A mysterious box’.
‘Mysterious box?’
“Price: 2,000 merit points. Available for one day.”
“A limited-time offer?” Lu Zhou frowned. This reminded him of certain games back on earth. This was a classic tactic of unethical merchants! However, was the system this senseless?
Lu Zhou’s gut told him there was something valuable inside the mysterious box.
“Purchase.”
There was a flash of light before a box appeared in the center of the hidden chamber. The purple box was an exact replica of the one displayed on the system dashboard.
After observing it for some time, Lu Zhou realized there was no way to open this box. It was completely sealed!
Bam!
Lu Zhou waved his arm casually. An energy wave hit the box. Nothing happened.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Lu Zhou continued waving his arm, launching a barrage of attacks on the mysterious box.
…
Outside the hidden chamber.
Little Yuan’er and Minsghi Yin heard the commotion from the hidden chamber.
“Don’t go. Master isn’t satisfied with the events at the Fish Dragon Village. He’s at the peak of his rage now.” Mingshi Yin quickly stopped Little Yuan’er who was about to enter the hidden chamber.
“Oh.”
“Little Junior Sister, are you free?”
“Why?”
“Spar with me! Look at my Separation Hook and Scabbard! Master gave it to me… Eh, Little Junior Sister, why are you crying?!” Mingshi Yin raised his hand and the Separation Hook and Scabbard materialized in the air before slowing dropping into his hand.
Before Mingshi Yin could inquire further, he heard Duanmu Sheng’s voice ringing from outside the great hall.
“Old Fourth, I heard the good news. Master has given you a weapon, right? Come, come now… I can barely wait. Now that you have such a great weapon, I’m sure you’ll last longer than before! Quickly…” Duanmu Sheng carried his Overlord Spear in his left hand as he dragged Mingshi Yin out of the hall with his right hand.
Mingshi Yin was speechless.
Little Yuan’er scoffed. “Serves you right for picking on me!”
