Chapter 675: Chapter 675

"Daoist Master, I did it!" The Heavenly Radiance Master was overjoyed, so much so that he didn’t realize his whole body was convulsing, entering a state of utter madness.

His laughter echoed through the secret chamber, filled with joy and insanity.

"Martial Uncle, Martial Uncle..." Gu Old Taoist looked helpless, yet dared not approach.

Looking at the mad Heavenly Radiance Master before him, he was full of doubt. The old Taoist succeeded, so why is he going insane?

Gu Old Taoist, being at a lower realm, dared not be careless, so he directly called for Xu Qing.

Xu Qing rushed over and, looking at the lunatic, muttering "Daoist Master, I did it" from the Heavenly Radiance Master, was rendered speechless.

Can doing cultivation research drive one mad? He couldn’t help but glance at Gu Old Taoist, pondering, why has Gu Old Taoist never had such a situation? Is it because he’s slacking too much? For a moment, Xu Qing had strong doubts about Gu Old Taoist’s professional ethics.

However, the old Taoist often went to places of entertainment, indeed not looking like someone seriously engaged in research.

But for research, technical skills alone are insufficient. Gu Old Taoist still had indispensable roles in other areas. Without Old Gu taking the lead, many studies at the Heavenly Work Institute wouldn’t be able to proceed.

The ability to unite people to accomplish things is also a skill.

Xu Qing glanced at Gu Old Taoist, then said, "Let’s knock him out first."

"Me?" Gu Old Taoist was a bit dumbfounded; he never thought Xu Qing would ask him to act against his own martial uncle.

Xu Qing explained, "I might not control my strength right."

Gu Old Taoist was still a bit hesitant, "This doesn’t seem right." Although he said so, with Xu Qing backing him up, he suddenly had more courage.

He went forward and slapped down, thinking to himself, chances to defy your master... and act insolently from below aren’t many, better cherish it. Gu Old Taoist slapped down and still shouted, "You old beast, what did you accomplish?"

It must be said, that slap was truly exhilarating.

Gu Old Taoist only felt enlightened, his thoughts clear, even somewhat elevated!

There was a sign of breaking through the mist of Ghost Immortal and seeing one’s true nature.

Didn’t expect this advantage.

Xu Qing gave Gu Old Taoist a meaningful look, suddenly Gu Old Taoist understood Xu Qing’s intention. "Can this kid even see through my cultivation bottleneck?" Gu Old Taoist was incredibly surprised but didn’t dwell on it. Anyway, whatever happened to Xu Gongming seemed unsurprising.

Xu Qing calmly said, "I’ll apply the needle!"

After some operation, the Heavenly Radiance Master gracefully woke up, touched his own swollen face, the palm print was visibly dark blue.

Gu Old Taoist hurried forward, "Martial Uncle, you just went berserk and slapped yourself." The Heavenly Radiance Master retorted, "You beast, I clearly saw it was you who hit me."

Gu Old Taoist: "..." So you weren’t mad. Why does it feel even more thrilling? Gu Old Taoist murmured inside, but his face remained full of fear with an awkward smile.

Xu Qing intervened, "Is there anything uncomfortable now, Master?"

"Earlier, I couldn’t control my body, but now I’m united with spiritual energy, no major issues." The Heavenly Radiance Master exhaled and said slowly.

The Heavenly Radiance Master then shared his insights. Gu Old Taoist swiftly jotted them down, each word like a precious treasure, afraid of missing any bit. Xu Qing, on the other hand, questioned as he listened, his words sharp, cutting to the essence, like a sharp sword, continually digging into the Heavenly Radiance Master’s Daoist Enlightenment.

In the exchange of questions and answers, the Heavenly Radiance Master became clearer about the process of making the storage bag.

Xu Qing vaguely grasped an extremely powerful Dao Skill from the Heavenly Radiance Master’s insights.

This was also the Dao Skill Xu Qing had been focusing on cultivating lately, which was to combine Beiming and Inner Heaven and Earth.

He named it "Sleeve Universe." Since the Wutong Tree and Inner Heaven and Earth were a low-tier Ginsengfruit garden, Xu Qing creating a Sleeve Universe was reasonable.

The bronze mirror commented that he was an Outer Heaven Demon, but one day, Xu Qing was determined to let everyone know that he was not any Outer Heaven Demon, but the great Ancestor of Earth Immortals descending to this world!

His Heavenly Demon Heart wandered for a moment, then calmed down.

"Electric rays are from the deep sea, capturing them is extremely difficult. Next, I need your help, Gu Daoist, to improve the mechanical magic device that can dive deep sea. Additionally, I’ll urge the Daoist School to expedite the training of Soul Cultivators with Water Dao Skills." Xu Qing casually set a plan.

The storage bag has great utility and might be crucial in the future exploration of various secret realms in this world.

For the refinement of the storage bag, no matter how much manpower and resources are consumed, it is worth it. In Xu Qing’s heart, this is not merely a plan to make storage bags, but a significant step toward pioneering the era of cultivation and exploring the unknown world.

In future explorations of various secret realms in this world, the storage bag is bound to play a crucial role.

On the other hand, the storage bag, as a top-tier cultivation material, also appeared at the auction of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

Duke Wei looked at the gradually depleting family treasury, almost tearing up.

"This Xu Gongming, really wants to squeeze everyone dry, doesn’t he." Duke Wei madly criticized Xu Qing’s unscrupulousness.

Xu Qing was just relying on the strange skills from the Heavenly Work Institute to gradually empty everyone’s pockets.

The key is, nobody can afford not to pay.

If you don’t buy, is it because you can’t afford it?

As a top-tier powerful family, they certainly can’t bear such an insult.

This is also about dignity.

For the powerful, dignity is more important than tangible benefits.

If you lose dignity, others might think you’ve lost power, which is even more severe!

Duke Wei soon calmed down and said to Yan Fu, "This time, the storage bags at the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance auction, our Duke Wei Mansion wants seventy percent. If anyone dares to compete..."

He paused, then continued, "I’ll have Bo’er investigate their family’s dirty deeds!"

Duke Wei let out a long breath.

The Princely Heir of Duke Wei, Wei Bo, because he is now the Director of the Military Statistical Investigation Department under the Military Affairs Office, has done many things that are terrifying.

So outside rumors abound.

Duke Wei has heard them.

This time he intends to retaliate.

My family might as well be Xu Gongming’s dogs.
