Eternal Life: I Have the Favor System

Chu Lingguang checked his information panel.

Favors: 129911

Mixed Element Skill (0-10000)

(Remaining Lifespan: 800 years)

Chu Lingguang had given all his savings to the soldiers, gaining a large boost in Favor Points. He had now accumulated over one hundred and twenty thousand.

The Mixed Element Skill was also visibly listed as uncultivated.

He used to be wary of the Great Yuan imperial family and hadn’t dared to practice this Cultivation Technique. Now that he had even dared to offend Yuanchu Mountain, Chu Lingguang finally began to cultivate the Mixed Element Skill.

This was a Mortal Inner Power Heart Method.

It was practically useless to Chu Lingguang now. However, with the support of the Great Cang Heart Method, he could grasp any Mortal Cultivation and Martial Arts almost instantly. Reaching Perfection in the Mixed Element Skill wouldn’t require spending any Favor Points at all. He could rely on his own effort and talent to cultivate it to its peak in a short time.

The days flew by.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

A reincarnation cycle occurred every three hundred years, and Yuanchu Mountain was trying every possible way to stop people from fusing with strange and monstrous things. The disappearance of the Wolf Demon and three high-ranking members of the Demon Suppression Bureau made Zhang Xuan involuntarily quicken the pace of his investigation.

They once again aimed their suspicions at Chu Lingguang.

Zhang Xuan was convinced that Chu Lingguang was colluding with a demon, knew the Wolf Demon’s identity, and was even connected to Guo Wei’s disappearance.

So, seven days after the Seventh Prince’s departure, Zhang Xuan first had someone inform Chu Lingguang of Guo Wei’s disappearance.

"Master is missing?"

"Could it be that he..."

’Impossible. If Zhang Xuan wants to use my master to force me to reveal Qin Yu’s whereabouts, he would never dare to kill him.’

’I’m just afraid my master won’t yield to either threats or persuasion, enraging them and meeting a bad end.’

Chu Lingguang crushed the letter into dust.

He detected a powerful wave of Spiritual Sense power washing over him, trying to penetrate his body and investigate his unusual aura.

Two figures appeared in his line of sight.

It was Zhang Xuan and Yun Hong.

Zhang Xuan’s expression was grim.

’Chu Lingguang’s strength is not weak. He’s much stronger than when I met him at Wolf Valley Pass. His body’s Qi Sea power has already transformed into Spiritual Power. When I tried to probe him with my Spiritual Sense, he was actually able to defend himself, using his Sea of Consciousness power to block me and prevent my Spiritual Sense from penetrating his body.’

Now that Chu Lingguang had cultivated Telekinesis, his Sea of Consciousness power was no weaker than Zhang Xuan’s. He could stop Zhang Xuan from using Spiritual Sense to probe the depths of his power or his body’s secrets.

Zhang Xuan’s attempt was fruitless, and he was inwardly surprised.

But he didn’t know that Chu Lingguang had already developed Telekinesis. He merely thought Chu Lingguang was instinctively resisting him. Since he didn’t detect any strange aura on Chu Lingguang, he didn’t forcefully use his Spiritual Sense power to smash through Chu Lingguang’s spiritual defenses.

Otherwise, he would have discovered that his Spiritual Sense power couldn’t break through Chu Lingguang’s defenses, which would have put Chu Lingguang in much greater danger.

Zhang Xuan might have even discovered that he had already formed a Star System, successfully stepped into the Qi Refining realm, and become a true Cultivator.

And this was something Yuanchu Mountain would not permit.

At that point, Chu Lingguang would not only have to hand over his Qi Refining technique, but he would also be bound to Yuanchu Mountain, perhaps even forced into servitude. Otherwise, Yuanchu Mountain would not let him live.

They would also kill everyone around him to ensure no one else could cultivate a Qi Refining technique like Chu Lingguang and break through to a new cultivation realm without Yuanchu Mountain’s help.

"Chu Lingguang, we suspect your master was abducted by a demon. You’d better tell me right now who the Wolf Demon that helped you conquer the Turkic Headquarters was. Otherwise, your master will be in danger!"

Zhang Xuan demanded.

"Reporting to Mr. Zhang, I truly don’t know who the Wolf Demon is. My master is a Martial Arts Grandmaster officially recognized by the Court. I beg Mr. Zhang to be lenient."

Chu Lingguang said respectfully.

At this moment, he was far from being a match for Zhang Xuan.

"Then do you know where the Wolf Demon went after dealing with the Turkic Wizard?"

Yun Hong inquired.

"He entered the Hundred Thousand Mountains and never came out again. I truly don’t know who or what he is. West Warehouse is a living hell. I beg you both, for the sake of our past teacher-student relationship, please have the Court transfer me away from this place. Even being a Post Station Chief would be better than being here."

"It’s cold and barren here. Not only are supplies scarce, but cultivation is also fraught with difficulties. I have to run to the top of the mountain every time just to absorb a tiny bit of Spiritual Qi."

Chu Lingguang said, deliberately showing weakness.

Zhang Xuan and Yun Hong were caught completely off guard.

They never expected Chu Lingguang’s attitude to change so drastically after only being here for a few days.

But he still didn’t reveal who the Wolf Demon was.

’Could it be that he really doesn’t know?’

"Zhang," Yun Hong said persuasively.

He was very sympathetic to Chu Lingguang’s plight.

Zhang Xuan, however, scanned the surroundings and suddenly noticed a problem. He said, "You and Guo Wei share a deep bond as master and disciple. Now that Guo Wei is missing, aren’t you worried about him at all?"

"What in the world did you do to my master?"

A powerful fluctuation of Spiritual Power erupted from within Chu Lingguang’s body.

Zhang Xuan and Yun Hong exchanged a glance, both surprised. They hadn’t expected Chu Lingguang to be able to accumulate so much Spiritual Power. ’It’s a shame,’ Zhang Xuan thought. ’As long as his Dantian can’t form a Star System, he’ll never be able to step into the Qi Refining realm in this lifetime.’

"My master isn’t missing. You captured him, didn’t you?"

Chu Lingguang demanded.

"Your master was taken by a demon."

Zhang Xuan snorted coldly.

"Chu Lingguang, if you ever find out the Wolf Demon’s identity, you must tell me immediately."

Yun Hong reminded him.

"I want to know if my master is alright!"

Chu Lingguang asked again.

"Hard to say. Let’s hope the demon he ran into hasn’t become a monster devoid of all humanity."

Zhang Xuan said with a cold laugh.

Then, he left West Warehouse with Yun Hong.

It seemed Chu Lingguang’s reaction had fooled him.
