Chapter 331: Crisis of Falling Off the Horse? (Thanks to brother Qingchun for the generous tip)_1
“`
Lou Hai was engaged in battle in the Western Continent and couldn’t arrive any time soon.
This forced Pei Jinye to put his n to fleece the Wuri n in North Continent on hold, much to his chagrin.
“What a pity… to not have the talent for teleportation.”
Before leaving, Pei Jinye caught a glimpse of the Attribute Light Group by the door, which somewhat made up for his disappointment.
[Time-Space Rewind Extraordinary Gene Fragment+1]
Pei Jinye raised his eyebrows slightly.
“What effect might a Second Rank Time-Space Rewind have?”
“The ability to select any point in time to rewind to?”
“Too bad my cultivation can’t follow… No, maybe at the Second Rank it could.”<div>
Pei Jinye’s breath hitched for a moment.
If he truly could master the power of time and space, then wouldn’t that mean he could choose any moment and, with overwhelming strength,pletely crush his opponent?
“When the timees, I’ll still be able to devour…”
“Wouldn’t that allow for infinite synthesis? Killing repeatedly, synthesizing repeatedly, rapidly umting a high rank?”
Pei Jinye nearly decided to synthesize his Universal Extraordinary Gene with Time-Space Rewind on the spot.
But in the end, reason triumphed over impulse.
Let alone whether a Second Rank Time-Space Rewind could actually have such effects.
Even if he wasted his Universal Extraordinary Gene right now, he wouldn’t be able toplete a Second Rank Time-Space Rewind; he would need at least three fragments of the First Rank to synthesize into the Second Rank.
“I’ll save it for now; as long as I live long enough… there wille a day of synthesis.”
Under the cover of night.
Pei Jinye was in no rush to return to the Jiang family.
Instead, he began to move through the darkness.
The experience with Feng Jiao made him realize that relying solely on this woman toplete the hunting mission was too difficult.
Since he had time, he might as well hunt.
Hunting target: Extraordinary Criminal!
…
Ten forty-seven at night.
“Pfft!”
The Bone Sword sliced off the burly man’s arms.<div>
The burly man’s eyes bulged in shock and fury… but his roars never reached the ground as arge hand abruptly covered his face.
A string of Blood Beads fell.
Thirty secondster.
“Pfft,” blood sttered.<div>
…
[New Extraordinary Gene: Crimson·Different Blood]
[Adding Extraordinary Ability…
[New skill…
[Vitality storage+13 cards]
…
“Just four more… and I can synthesize a Third Rank Crimson Series,” Pei Jinye retracted his gaze.
He picked up the Bloodthirsty Bead.
Paying no attention to the whitened bones on the ground turning into flowing sand.
He was curious.
“Could it be that the Bloodthirsty Bead only transforms into the Crimson Series?”
“Who’s there?”
Voices from the patrolling officers of the Night Patrol Department suddenly came from the corner of the alley, as they quickly drew their guns on alert.<div>
Almost instantaneously, Pei Jinye’s figure vanished from the shadows.
“What’s wrong?” someone came over and asked.
“I thought I saw someone standing there… but I didn’t see clearly,” the man replied.
A few officers from the Night Patrol Department moved forward to inspect.
“You must have seen wrong, right?”
“Maybe… I didn’t get a clear view… strange, I really felt like there was someone there.”
The officers from the Night Patrol Department holstered their weapons and left together.
Because of the recent covert confrontation between the Old Gods Association and the Sand me Association, the security issues of Da Peng City had been effectively contained.
Many criminals who used to run amok now seemed to have settled down, fearful of getting caught in the crossfire between the two massive forces.
So, to Pei Jinye’s misfortune, roaming half the city only turned up one “lucky” encounter.
…
…
Early morning.<div>
Pei Jinye received a call from Han Sen.
“The matter of the Talisman Bead has been approved. I heard you have a three-day break;e and see how it’s infused with a spirit,” Han Sen said.
Before leaving, Pei Jinye looked at hisplexion in the mirror.
“Doesn’t seem pale enough…”
…
“Fought with the Sand me Association?”
Inside the main administrative building in Dawn City, Han Sen gazed at Pei Jinye’s somewhat pale face and spoke with interest, “It’s good to have such energy at a young age. Any insights?”
“To get stronger, to be even stronger!” Pei Jinye was sinct, and the earnestness in his tone and the glint in his eyes were particrly noticeable.
So much so that Han Sen had to pause for a moment, an inexplicable smile ying at the corner of his mouth.
“Youth is wonderful.”
He looked at the time.
“There’s more than an hour till noon, are you hungry?”
“I ate beforeing… Yes, I’m hungry,” Pei Jinye quickly corrected himself, coughing a few times to feign severe injuries.<div>
Han Sen paused.
He couldn’t help but stretch his lips into a smile.
It was unclear whether he was regretting asking the question.
In the silence, quiet mumblings from someone at the table could be heard.
“I shed blood for Central State…”
“…I know, I know,” Han Sen was amused toughter, making a phone call, “Yes, please deliver it to my office.”
Three minutester.
A young man appeared.
It was Little Horse who had once recharged Pei Jinye’s meal card.
Upon seeing Pei Jinye in the secretary-general’s office, Little Horse muttered a ‘figured as much’ and presented the wooden box he was holding with both hands.
Yet he was curious…
What important mission had Pei Jinye undertaken this time, and why did his face look so frighteningly pale?
Mr. Han gestured, “These are the Fasting Pills developed by Central State, eat up.”
There were three pills in total.
“`
Under Mr. Han’s scrutiny, Pei Jinye had no choice but to eat one with a stiff face.
Vitality instantly became active.
Visible to the naked eye… the originally pale-as-paperplexion on his face began to fill with color.
Pei Jinye, with a look of surprise, said, “A product of Central State is sure to be of fine quality.”
Mr. Han chuckled softly, shaking his head and signaling Little Horse to leave.
After the door was closed again.
“The effects of the Fasting Pill vary from person to person, some can go a day or two without eating, others five to ten days.”
“Does it seem like it can replenish vitality as well?” Pei Jinye asked.
“Exactly, Blood Spirit Fruit was used as an ingredient,” Mr. Han exined. “Let’s go.”
Pei Jinye stood up and followed.
His gaze quietly fell upon the attribute panel.
Geez.
The original [60.5-61.3] vitality, directly maxed out at 61.3.
Although the upper limit couldn’t be raised through this opportunity, the speed of blood recovery was indeed a bit terrifying.
Feeling the rolling energy that the Fasting Pill turned into converging into his stomach, continually nourishing the meridians within his body.
A bloated feeling surfaced too.
“The stuff is good, just the amount is a bit less.”
“I have shed blood for Central State after all…”
Mr. Han acted as if he hadn’t heard, quickly opened the door and walked out.
Pei Jinye blinked and watched the person’s retreating back, swiftly following him.
…
…
…
“I have a meeting to attend to on short notice, let Little Horse take you; he is also a disciple of Elder Zhong… Little Horse, lead the way, I’ve already spoken to your teacher, you can go straight to his residence,” said Mr. Han.
“Yes, Mr. Han.”
After handing the Talisman Bead to Pei Jinye, Han Sen quickly left with his team, with Pei Jinye standing by and bidding them farewell.
If it weren’t for some serious matter, he definitely wouldn’t have left so abruptly.
Pei Jinye didn’t show excessive curiosity about this, at least not outwardly, he kept his mouth shut, eyes straight ahead, waiting for Brother Little Horse to take him to the residence of the Spiritual Attachment master.
“Elder Zhong is?” Pei Jinye asked curiously.
“Zhong Yumin, Dean Zhong,” Brother Little Horse exined seriously, “He is the trailzer of the Seal System at Central Continent Martial University…”
Pei Jinye thoughtfully continued talking while walking beside him.
In his wristband, Xing Tian had already provided the relevant information on Zhong Yumin.
After getting in the car.
Seeing Pei Jinye remain quiet, Little Horse also didn’t say much and drove quietly to their destination.
“Buzz buzz.”
The cell phone vibrated.
Pei Jinye flipped open his phone, and the screen quietly changed.
Silver Art: “We’ve run out of rice at home QAQ…”
At a nce, this didn’t seem like Silver Art’s tone.
Pei Jinye, bold and daring, replied in the presence of Central Continent Headquarters members: “Buy some yourself.”
“Okay okay.”
…
“Mr. Pei, we’ve arrived.”
An old courtyard fragrant with antiquity was nked by two stone lions, their tiger-like eyes wide and imposing.
Pei Jinye suddenly eximed in surprise.
For a moment, he felt as if the two stone lions hade alive, both sets of eyes scrutinizing him.
“Esteemed senior brothers, we are here by Mr. Han’s orders, and we have already informed Teacher beforehand, please let us in,” Brother Little Horse stepped forward and respectfully said.
“Who could it be, if not Little Horse,” said the stone lion on the left, leaping down, causing the ground to shake and its voice booming, not minding the outsiders: “Haven’t you been back here for a while now?”
“Just camest Friday, senior brother might have been deep in meditation and did not notice me,” Little Horse said respectfully.
The stone lionughed: “Last Friday? Ah right, meditating, of course, I was meditating.”
“You were meditating my ass, you were clearly snoozing,” the stone lion on the right, that hadn’te down, suddenly spoke up and burst the bubble.
The stone lion on the ground turned its head and red: “What do you know.”
“Heh.”
“Hehe.”
“Hehehe.”
“Hehehehe.”
…
Pei Jinye watched with interest.
Little Horse in front of him, as if used to it, turned back to remind him.
“Mr. Pei, we should go in now.”
Pei Jinye nodded.
After stepping through the gate, he asked in a low voice, “Is this the work of Spiritual Attachment?”
Little Horse nodded: “Senior Left and Senior Right have been following Teacher for a long time, they often act like this, we’re all used to it. The door being open means Teacher already knows we’re here.”
Walking into Zhong Mansion, towering trees surrounded the area, the walls were covered in ivy…
Almost in an instant.
With the first step Pei Jinye took into the courtyard, his back tensed up.
He could clearly sense the trees and flowers around giving off fluctuations…
This also meant that these trees and nts might all be living things that have undergone Spiritual Attachment.
By the time Pei Jinye left the courtyard and arrived at the back, the mountains and forests were shaking.
Under the breeze, there were whispers going back and forth.
…
“Teacher,” Little Horse greeted the busy white-haired elder at the work desk with respect once again.
“Failed again…” the white-haired elder frowned at the extinguished firelight in front of him, shook his head looking at Little Horse and Pei Jinye: “He has already informed me, where’s the item?”
Little Horse looked to Pei Jinye.
Pei Jinye handed over the Talisman Bead.
Elder Zhong looked at Pei Jinye, “This item is actually in your hands?”
“By chance,” Pei Jinye responded cautiously. “Elder Zhong is familiar with it?”
“Had the fortune to witness it in battle.” Elder Zhong turned the Talisman Bead in his hands back and forth, seeming to be judging something, then suddenly said to Little Horse, “There are a few of your senior and junior fellow apprentices in the side yard, go help take care of them for me.”
“Yes, Teacher.”
Turning respectfully, Little Horse left, and on his way out, he closed the door behind him.
…
After Little Horse had gone.
Elder Zhong suddenly fixed Pei Jinye with a piercing gaze, “What is your rtionship with Spirit Symbol Ghost Mountain Road?”
