Chapter 93: Chapter 93: Doubting Everyone and Everything

“You son of a bitch!”

As Senior Brother Zhuge’s blood-spattered saliva sprayed onto Yin Honghui’s face.

He was completely dumbfounded.

In Yin Honghui’s memory, this fellow disciple had always been known for his refined and amiable nature, a true gentleman who, even in anger, would not resort to vulgarity.

Yet today, he had used such coarse language to curse him!

After the breakthrough of his meridians and establishing the Purple Mansion, Yin Honghui hadn’t been scolded to his face in decades.

He was unable to adapt to it for a moment.

He stood there, stunned.

Crack!

The Heavenly Pattern Plate on the rosewood table suddenly emitted a crisp sound, its surface now covered with numerous spiderweb-like cracks.

It was clear to anyone.

This precious second-tier Spiritual Artifact was now ruined.

And the Jade Pendant placed in the center of the Heavenly Pattern Plate had also shattered into pieces!

“Uh!”

Senior Brother Zhuge spewed out a third mouthful of blood, his demeanor as wilted as could be, his face etched with wrinkles as deep as ravines!

“Senior Brother!”

Only then did Yin Honghui snap out of it, hurriedly taking out Healing Pills from his Storage Bag.

His heart sank sharply.

The scene that had just unfolded before his eyes clearly showed that Senior Brother Zhuge’s divination using the Heavenly Pattern Plate had gone horribly wrong.

And it was closely related to the target he himself wished to pursue.

Who on earth had Yin Derong offended!

Even with Yin Honghui’s deep and calculative mind, he couldn’t help but be overwhelmed with anxiety at this moment.

“Enough, enough, enough!”

Senior Brother Zhuge rejected the Healing Pills Yin Honghui offered, letting out a long sigh, “It’s my own greed that led to this catastrophe.”

“Yin Honghui!”

He immediately sliced off a piece of his robe with his palm and threw it to the other, “From this moment forth, you and I are done! Our ties are severed!”

Senior Brother Zhuge’s heart bled.

Out of greed for Yin Honghui’s generous gift, he had paid the price with at least thirty years of his lifespan and two tiers of his Cultivation Level.

Even the Heavenly Pattern Plate was sacrificed.

He had suffered a loss so great it was as if it was taken by his own grandmother!

If possible, he truly wished he could slap the other to death.

Rather than just cutting ties.

Yin Honghui said solemnly, “Senior Brother, even if I am to die, let me die with a clear understanding!”

“Heh heh.”

Senior Brother Zhuge let out a bitter laugh, closed his eyes and said, “If you wish to die, suit yourself!”

Yin Honghui had no words to respond with.

And he understood.

He stood up, bowed deeply to Senior Brother Zhuge, and then left the small courtyard.

Yin Honghui knew very well.

No matter what he said now, it was useless, his years of friendship with the other were utterly over!

But that wasn’t the point.

On the way back to Cloud Mountain City, Yin Honghui sent out several Crane Messages in succession.

When he returned to the Yin Residence, just as he sat down in the inner room.

The beautiful woman in the green dress hurried over, “Father!”

With her eyes, watery as peach blossoms, full of hope, she asked, “Have you found the murderer?”

Yin Honghui was incredibly frustrated, “What’s there to investigate? It’s because you pamper Rong’er too much that he caused such a disaster. We should thank our ancestors he didn’t bring calamity upon the Yin Family!”

He had already sent messages to stop the investigation, resolved to swallow the bitter pill this time.

The beautiful woman in the green dress was utterly shocked, “So Rong’er died in vain?”

Yin Honghui coldly replied, “Just have another child.”

When it came down to making tough decisions, the Purple Mansion Superior showed the ruthless and unfeeling side of his character.

The beautiful woman in the green dress still wanted to weep and make a fuss.

But a fierce glare from Yin Honghui made her tremble in fear and she immediately shut her mouth.

Having lived in a large, secluded residence, she knew what kind of person he was, and also understood the consequences of being spoiled and arrogant!

Her surging grievances could only be swallowed by herself.

After sending the beautiful woman in the green dress away, Yin Honghui took a deep breath.

He reflected on the process of Senior Brother Zhuge’s divination with the Heavenly Pattern Plate.

His hands trembled slightly.

What kind of formidable existence could make a high-tier Purple Mansion pay such a dire price from afar?

“Achoo!”

In the underground secret chamber, Wang Chen suddenly let out a loud sneeze!

[Heavenly Merit -1]

Huh?

The sudden appearance of the message prompt in his field of vision left him utterly stunned.

What the heck is this?

Sneezing inexplicably cost him 1 precious point of Heavenly Merit!

Wang Chen hurriedly called up the Immortal Cultivation panel.

To his disbelief, his count of Heavenly Merit indeed dropped from 32 points to 31 points.

Saw an evil wraith!

Wang Chen was utterly baffled.

He hadn’t performed any point-adding operations, so why did he lose Heavenly Merit for no reason?

It couldn’t possibly be because of the sneeze, right?

Just the thought made Wang Chen’s liver tremble.

Grinding his teeth, he took out the Wolf-Brush Talisman Pen and tickled the inside of his nostril.

If he didn’t test this out, he wouldn’t be able to sleep peacefully at night!

“Achoo!” “Achoo!”

Oh no!

Wang Chen inwardly cried out—it was too many sneezes!

However, the Immortal Cultivation panel remained unchanged, and the Heavenly Merit count didn’t decrease further.

Wang Chen, not seeming to care, tickled his nostril again.

“Achoo!” “Achoo!” “Achoo!”

He felt like an idiot.

But it proved that the sudden loss of 1 point of Heavenly Merit wasn’t related to his sneezing.

Could it be that the Immortal Cultivation panel automatically deducted a yearly fee?

Come to think of it, up until now, Wang Chen’s understanding of the data panel was still only superficial.

It was understandable that inexplicable things occurred.

He didn’t go out of his way to replace the truth but instead invested 10 Heavenly Merit into the Physique attribute!

[Physique: 10]

In the recent fierce battle, Wang Chen had consecutively killed four Qi Cultivation cultivators.

He had gained a total of 27 points of Heavenly Merit.

Since he had already added points to his Root Bone, Comprehension, and Divine Soul attributes twice, and the “+” sign behind them had turned grey, the only attribute left to add points to was Physique.

Although he had considered saving up 100 Heavenly Merit to invest in Root Bone,

he was currently facing a massive threat, and neither his life nor his possessions were secure.

In such times, even the slightest increase in strength was welcome.

Because of this, Wang Chen had no hesitation.

And the instant he completed adding the points,

Qi-Blood within Wang Chen’s body suddenly spun out of control, expanding at a shocking pace.

His muscles bulged, and the veins under his skin violently throbbed, making him feel as though he was in the furnace of hell, his skin turning a reddish hue.

His Qi-Blood surged and bones rubbed against each other as Wang Chen’s height shot up several inches in the blink of an eye!

At the same time, his belly made thunderous noises.

Every cell in his body was conveying a desperate need for nutrients and energy!

This was something Wang Chen hadn’t anticipated before adding the points.

The change in the Physique attribute from 9 points to 10 seemed to have caused a qualitative change, making him feel stronger yet at the same time quite weak.

Wang Chen quickly took out rice balls and jerky from his Storage Bag, swallowing them down in large bites.

Until he filled his stomach completely.

He then took out a bottle of Vajra Ghee and spread it over his entire body, and then activated the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Method to refine it.

To stabilize the runaway Qi-Blood!

After the time it takes an incense stick to burn, Wang Chen adapted to the changes in his Physique and regained control over his body.

His form had mostly returned to normal.

And the strength of his Qi-Blood had increased by at least twenty percent, and it was still slowly rising!
