Chapter 181: Chapter 110: Chen Fugui: Money Makes the Devil Turn the Millstone, I Paid King Yama!

Hearing this, Chen Fugui said blankly, "Pure Yang Spiritual Root? Aren’t I just a normal Middle Grade Fire Spiritual Root? How did I suddenly become a Pure Yang Spiritual Root?"

Meng Chuanping looked at him and said with a serious face, "The utmost blazing and utmost Yang. I absolutely did not see it wrong. Right now, you possess the Pure Yang Spiritual Root.

"In other words, it’s the legendary Pure Yang Spiritual Root, jokingly called the ’Bachelor’s Spiritual Root,’ where as long as you maintain your virginity, your Cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds."

"Ah?"

Hearing that the Effect of this Pure Yang Spiritual Root could only be unleashed by remaining single, Chen Fugui froze on the spot. The joy of surviving a disaster in his heart was completely washed away at this moment!

He propped himself up and stood from the ground. With an ugly expression, he questioned Meng Chuanping as if grasping at straws.

"Principal Meng, you must have seen it wrong, right? You definitely made a mistake, right?

"You have to know that I, Chen Fugui, was once the prince of Luocheng’s nightlife! How could I possibly have something as ridiculous as a Bachelor’s Spiritual Root?"

Hearing this, a weird expression appeared on Meng Chuanping’s face. He then gave Chen Fugui another serious look and said solemnly, "Teacher Chen, you can question my teaching ability, but you cannot question a Golden Core Cultivator’s judgment of a Spiritual Root.

"I absolutely did not make a mistake. The current you... has the Pure Yang Spiritual Root."

BOOM!

Hearing that he had actually mutated into possessing the legendary Pure Yang Spiritual Root—the mark of an eternal bachelor—Chen Fugui felt as if his head had been struck by lightning. His vision nearly went black, and he almost fainted again.

He thought, "What kind of sin did I, Chen Fugui, commit in my past life to mutate such an outrageous Spiritual Root?!

"I’ve already been single for thirty-three years, and now you’re telling me it won’t just stop there.

"For the next three hundred, three thousand, or even thirty thousand years, I might have to stay single!"

Looking at Chen Fugui kneeling on the ground with a face devoid of the will to live, everyone couldn’t help but laugh. This wasn’t just because Chen Fugui’s expression was incredibly amusing. It was also because his revival had significantly diluted the sorrow in everyone’s hearts. Among the many tragedies, this was a sudden stroke of good fortune.

When Broken Sword Taoist returned holding a severed head, the turmoil that had swept through all of Luocheng finally came to a safe conclusion. Although Luocheng had suffered substantial losses during this chaos, compared to the situation ten years ago when nearly half the city was destroyed, the relatively minor damage this time was already a blessing in disguise.

Ten days later. In the reception room of Luocheng First High School.

"Lu, once we meet Broken Sword Taoist later, don’t say anything at first. Leave everything to me, understand?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen nodded.

Seeing this, Chen Fugui immediately straightened his tie. After ten days of recovery, Chen Fugui had confirmed that he indeed hadn’t suffered any lingering ailments from the great chaos ten days ago.

To be honest, at the time, he truly felt he was dead for sure. Whether it was the side effects of the Blood Burning Pill or the injury from Hao Fu piercing his chest, either of those would mean almost certain death for an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Yet, not only did he face both at once, but he also survived completely unscathed.

This made Chen Fugui fondly think back to the Jade Pendant he had worn since childhood.

He wondered if his old man could get his hands on eight or ten more of these Jade Pendants; wouldn’t he, Chen Fugui, be able to swagger through the Immortal Alliance?

However, when he asked, his old man simply scolded him severely, saying it was impossible to get eight or ten of such ultimate treasures. Not to mention, they couldn’t even find the old sir who had told his fortune all those years ago.

All in all, this was a serendipitous encounter destined in Chen Fugui’s fate. Such opportunities were often something one could only stumble upon, not actively seek out. Understanding this, Chen Fugui gave up on the idea of buying more of those special Jade Pendants.

In front of the reception room doors, after straightening his clothes, Chen Fugui knocked politely. Before long, a steady voice came from inside.

"The door isn’t locked, come in."

Hearing this, Chen Fugui immediately pushed the door open and led Lu Chen inside.

Upon entering, Chen Fugui noticed that the atmosphere felt a bit off. Broken Sword Taoist was looking at them with an extremely stern expression, completely different from the eagerness to recruit talent that Chen Fugui had imagined.

"Teacher Chen, could you let Lu Tongxue and me speak alone for a moment?"

Before Chen Fugui could ponder why Broken Sword Taoist had such a change in attitude, Jiang Dongliu, who had been sitting in the corner playing on his phone, took the initiative to stand up and approached him.

"Teacher Chen, don’t worry. My teacher just has a few things he wishes to discuss with Lu Tongxue. Why don’t you step outside with me for now?"

Seeing this, Chen Fugui thought for a moment before nodding.

As Chen Fugui and Jiang Dongliu left, only Lu Chen and Broken Sword Taoist remained in the spacious reception room.

"Please have a seat, Lu Tongxue."

Lu Chen walked over to the empty seat opposite Broken Sword Taoist and sat down. As for what Broken Sword Taoist wanted to ask, Lu Chen already had a pretty good idea. After all, something that could make a bigshot like Broken Sword Taoist take it so seriously definitely wasn’t as simple as just recruitment.

It was eighty percent likely related to the Outer Path One Sword he had executed when dealing with Hao Fu.

In fact, right after that day ended, Lu Chen had considered how to explain his ability to use the Power of Outer Path. After all, within the Immortal Alliance, aside from the Black Lotus Sect and a few of the Evil Demon and Heretic Dao, no Cultivator could execute Outer Path Divine Techniques. Therefore, if he didn’t explain his Outer Path Incarnation properly, it would likely bring him quite a bit of trouble.

Broken Sword Taoist’s next words were exactly as Lu Chen expected.

"Lu Tongxue, could you tell me how you defeated Hao Fu?

"According to a few students who survived the battlefield in the West, it seems you utilized some special methods that a normal Cultivator does not possess.

"And these methods were quite similar to those of the Black Lotus Sect."

Perhaps worried that Lu Chen might misunderstand, Broken Sword Taoist immediately added, "Lu Tongxue, don’t overthink this. I’ve already looked into your situation, and I don’t suspect you of colluding with the Black Lotus Sect. Rather, I feel you might possess something they are absolutely determined to obtain.

"Thus, I hope you can answer me honestly. After all, besides being a Golden Core Stage instructor at the Qinghe Daoist School, I am also a Scripture Master of the Qing Province Mountain and Sea Bureau.

"And I am asking you in that capacity right now, because our Mountain and Sea Bureau has always been dedicated to completely eradicating the tumor that is the Black Lotus Sect from the Immortal Alliance.

"That is why I am curious about what happened to you. Based on the information I’ve received, the Black Lotus Sect seemed to have launched this attack specifically because of you.

"So what exactly is on you... that they are so determined to get?"

Faced with Broken Sword Taoist’s inquiry, Lu Chen remained silent for a moment. He then began to relay the excuse he had prepared in advance.

As he listened to Lu Chen’s explanation, Broken Sword Taoist’s expression turned increasingly solemn. Before long, the entire reception room fell silent...
