"I am a descendant left by Christina?" Zhou Bai slightly started, thinking to himself, ’Could it be because he last sensed Christina’s aura, so he mistook me for Christina’s descendant? Indeed, it might be so.’
Elder Sun looked at Zhou Bai with a kind smile on his face, "Perhaps, would you like to know about Christina?"
Zhou Bai kept nodding, as Elder Sun spoke with a hint of melancholy, "I actually don’t know much about her. She was a woman like a spirit, mysterious, formidable, and her personality was ever-changing.
I don’t know how long she lived or how old she was, but by the time my master’s master came to the mountain, she was already at the Three Pure Dao Sect. And it seemed that all four major sects had some past with her."
Christina excitedly said, "Hahaha, my previous life seems quite impressive huh."
Zhou Bai curled his lips and then asked, "Then what was her level of cultivation?"
"I really don’t know," Elder Sun shook his head, "She seemed to know everything, and often times her remarks could shock gods and immortals, but I’ve never seen her take action, nor do I know her level of cultivation, but it certainly wasn’t low."
Zhou Bai speechless, felt that Elder Sun didn’t know much, he then asked, "Does Christina have any other distinctive traits? Something unique?"
"She loved cats, very, very much," Elder Sun recalled, "I remember she once kept over a hundred cats."
"Oh?" Zhou Bai looked at Christina in his mind, but thought it seemed fairly reasonable, especially since Christina had now turned into a cat herself.
As Elder Sun was talking, he closed his eyes again, "Sigh, I’m getting old, can’t keep up my energy. I am going to sleep now, we’ll talk more next time."
In his mind, Zhou Bai asked, "How is it? Christina? Did you remember anything?"
"I remember now," Christina said pensively after a moment of silence, "In my past life, there was indeed a son named Zhou Bai, you are my son, Zhou Bai!!"
Zhou Bai tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Talk more nonsense, and I’ll shave all your cat fur off when I get back."
"No! My fur just grew back!" Christina exclaimed, "I am like a spirit-like cat, I can’t be hairless."
Zhou Bai said, "Did you actually remember anything?"
Next, Zhou Bai could only wait boredly for over twenty minutes, until Zheng Wentian came out, then he coerced him to have dinner together.
"Remember, this isn’t me lending you credits to eat!" Zheng Wentian shouted, "I am treating you!"
"Mm, mm, mm," Zhou Bai nodded and said, "You’re treating me."
Zheng Wentian said, "I will never lend you credits again!"
While packing up, Zhou Bai thought to himself, "This silly kid, he must be going mad."
Christina in his mind said, "I think I’m going crazy."
Zheng Wentian, however, felt nothing wrong about himself at all, "Zhou Bai, I won’t lend you credits anymore. At most, I’ll treat you to a meal. Also, your Twilight Taoist Skill will forever lag behind me, you’ll never catch up to me in your lifetime!"
Watching Zhen Wentian laughing heartily as he left, Zhou Bai felt secretly pleased, "That’s great, hopefully Fatty Sheep No.2 and Fatty Sheep No.3 can do the same."
In the following days, everything seemed smooth and uneventful, Zhou Bai idle by day and studied cultivation by night, occasionally dining with the three fat sheep.
Thus, more than a week passed, and that evening in Zhou Bai’s dormitory.
Jing Xiu cleaned up her cultivation materials and talked to Zhou Bai while doing so, "Big Brother Zhou, it’s about time, I’ll be leaving. Thank you for your guidance today."
"Mm."
"Don’t forget to eat the food on the table, it’s not good to leave it overnight," Jing Xiu pointed at the food on the table, which she had cooked for Zhou Bai (Christina) as a thank you for the guidance received over the period.
"Right, I almost forgot," Jing Xiu pulled out a watch from her pocket and placed it in front of Zhou Bai, "Big Brother Zhou, this is from Xia Li. She’s finished making it."
Zhou Bai’s eyes lit up as he took the watch from Jing Xiu and saw a sleek black watch with a bright surface appear before him, its surface engraved with densely packed Array runes, Zhou Bai could feel a surge of spirit within it.
Jing Xiu said, "Xia Li said although it’s not a magical item, it’s perfectly fine for explosion-proof, shock-proof, water-proof, fire-proof, and it should survive ordinary battles. Oh, and the timing function you mentioned, she’s added it too, you can set it up for timing whenever you like."
Speaking, she then pulled out a small booklet with a drawing of a little girl giving a thumbs up on the cover, which seemed to depict Xia Li.
Jing Xiu said, "This is a usage manual drawn by Xia Li herself, she told you to take a good look yourself."
Looking at the cover featuring a playful girl, Zhou Bai smiled and said, "Thank Xia Li for me, she’s dedicated a lot of time to this."
Jing Xiu opened the door and waved his hand, "Big Brother Zhou, see you tomorrow. Don’t stay up too late!"
Zhou Bai waved his hand, then put on his watch and lay down on the bed.
"I’m much more at ease now with this timer. And then there’s..."
Zhou Bai looked at the panel of his auxiliary cultivation system.
Transformation Degree: 20.0%
Primordial Spirit Value: 1185
Read lat𝙚st chapters at fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓ Only.
Divine Diagram: Celestial Nine Calamities
Laziness: 45,000
"Finally broke through last forty thousand laziness value today, I can add a second star point now."
Zhou Bai didn’t just amass laziness values to learn "All Swords Return to Origin" because, on one hand, the more he visually practiced, the less laziness value it required, and on the other hand, he speculated that the ugly diagram would improve his cultivation talent, adding to it now would create a snowball effect, making his cultivation accelerate.
"In the path of cultivation, solidifying the foundation is of utmost importance. I should really upgrade the ugly diagram to enhance my talent."
Suddenly, Elsa, who had taken on a humanoid form, jumped into his arms, hugging Zhou Bai’s neck and shouting, "Stone! Stone!"
Zhou Bai sighed, "That’s not a stone, it’s a statue!"
"Mmm mmm mmm." Elsa nodded continuously, her face filled with anticipation as she said, "I want to cultivate!"
Zhou Bai said helplessly, "Alright, go cultivate."
Elsa then happily ran off with the Great Strength Giant Troll Statue in her mouth, heading to the corner of the room, and started fiercely gnawing on the statue as if it were a dog chewing on a bone.
Zhou Bai shook his head and said, "After all, Elsa was a dog for half a year, and she’s still so young; it seems like changing her habits won’t happen overnight."
Christina, who was cultivating the Sword Diagram nearby and constantly communicating with her Primordial Spirit, said, "Always hiding her here, constantly changing into a dog and back, of course, is going to slow down her transformation. At her age, she should be going to school, playing with peers and such."
Zhou Bai stroked his chin and thought, "It’s a bit difficult to manage that now, I’ll think of something else."
But solutions wouldn’t come immediately, Zhou Bai needed to first add the star point to his ugly diagram.
Wenqu - Talent: Enhances the cultivation talent comprehensively.
Cultivation Method: (Omitted)
Laziness (0/40,000)
Zhou Bai instantly slapped down forty thousand laziness value, and the laziness value on the panel dropped to only five thousand in an instant.
As the laziness value poured in, Zhou Bai felt his brain seemingly become more active in an instant; his thinking speed, memory vitality, associative ability, judgment ability, and even his reaction and perception seemed to be constantly improving.
The world around him blurred for a moment, then instantly became clear again.
Zhou Bai felt his brain had suddenly become much lighter, past countless cultivation experiences, problems, now seemed so effortless.
"I’ve never felt this way before."
Zhou Bai was very curious about how much his cultivation talent had improved.
He then casually picked up a secret manual for the "Toad Strength" technique, glanced through it for a while, and instantly felt his understanding of the "Toad Strength" technique was too superficial. He suddenly had the urge to practice the "Toad Strength" technique there and then.
So, Zhou Bai suddenly lay down on the ground, limbs touching the ground, his chest and abdomen part slowly ballooned.
At the same time, Zhou Bai could feel a gentle snap at the positions of his six organs and astonishingly, they exerted force.
"My ’Toad Strength’ from the second layer, Five Organs state, advanced to the third layer, Six Organs state?"
