Chapter 63 Gaining Some Experience Points
With three brocade pouches, Xu Ziqing was captured.
Chu Huaixu left the cold pool and returned directly to the bamboo house.
“A world’s protagonist cannot be without his ambition!” His thoughts were as simple as that.
By the time he returned home, the sun had already set.
The Big Ice Block had prepared the first dish.
“Make one less dish today, as Little Xu won’t be back for dinner,” Chu Huaixu told Han Shuangjiang, with a feeling of a family of three.
“You just left him alone in the Secret Realm?” The Big Ice Block turned and looked at him.
“Yeah, he’s enjoying a slow slicing in the third trial,” he said with a casual smile.
The cold-faced girl didn’t continue the conversation upon hearing this.
The third trial, with its ambiguous nature, was not something this wealthy young master wished to discuss further.
Even recalling it now made her shapely legs feel somewhat stiff, and she couldn’t help but press them together slightly.
Speaking of which, she had been rather confused these past few days.
Under Chu Huaixu’s personal will, a small chore-doer had somehow appeared in the house, and then this chore-doer had inexplicably become Junior Brother Xu.
Han Shuangjiang was inherently a person with a strong sense of personal space and disliked letting others get too close.
She and Chu Huaixu had gone through many experiences in a short period and had been living together, so their relationship naturally became a bit closer.
In her eyes, Xu Ziqing was now just a fellow disciple who was quicker at working.
Therefore, she didn’t pay too much attention to him.
Chu Huaixu had actually realized this.
“Han Shuangjiang is playing the script of a heroine, wholeheartedly pursuing her career, with romance pushed aside.”
“However, there must be a friendly bond between world protagonists, after all, they are future partners who will fight side by side.”
“But because of my ‘third party’ interference, it seems their bond hasn’t been established,” he thought.
But Chu Huaixu soon relaxed.
“It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter, I can be the link between the world protagonists. As long as they have a bond with me, isn’t that enough?” He was quite open-minded and decided to “be the third party among the third parties.”
Since Xu Ziqing wasn’t present tonight, it reverted back to a situation of a man and a woman dining alone.
Chu Huaixu suddenly remembered something: “Oh right, I forgot to redeem the Spirit Disks obtained in the Secret Realm for contribution points. But there’s no rush, we can redeem them after all nine meridians are opened.”
“My personal suggestion is that when the time comes, we can both use our contribution points to choose a preferred Spell in the Scripture Pavilion,” he said to Han Shuangjiang.
For the Meridian-Opening Stage and the First Realm, Daoist Sect provided cultivation techniques for free, which was essentially compulsory education.
However, Spells were essentially like skills in a game.
These could be used universally across all cultivation realms, and excellent Spells could be used until one’s death, and these required payment.
The Big Ice Block, upon hearing this, did not offer any further opinions, simply saying, “Okay.”
“The immediate priority is still to open all nine meridians as soon as possible. Can you continue to maintain the progress of opening one meridian every one to two days?” Chu Huaixu asked.
“I should be able to,” Han Shuangjiang didn’t commit too firmly, but felt she could achieve it.
“Good,” Chu Huaixu nodded slightly, envy coursing through him.
His current character level was 6, and the remaining experience points were enough to reach level 8.
However, to open all nine meridians, he was still short of 950 experience points.
In addition, after obtaining the First Realm cultivation technique, he would need experience points to level up again.
Learning Spells also required experience points.
After dinner, since Xu Ziqing was not present, it became Han Shuangjiang’s turn to wash the dishes.
As the girl bent slightly, her full and voluptuous hip curve was once again fully displayed. Her waist, legs, and hips were like those of a naturally split cheongsam holy body.
But Chu Huaixu, who was feeling troubled, didn’t even have the mood to appreciate such earthly beauty.
“It seems I need to think of other ways to gain experience points,” he fretted.
After dinner, Chu Huaixu went to the Secret Realm again to deliver some dry food and water to Xu Ziqing, fearing he might starve to death inside.
The gaze of the good-looking young man towards him was full of emotion; their senior-junior relationship had clearly been elevated.
“Why do I feel like I’m not his senior brother, but more like his master?” Chu Huaixu gave a wry smile, feeling utterly speechless.
But it didn’t matter. After all, he was the protagonist of the world, and he was now his angel investor.
Upon returning home, since Little Xu wasn’t home, Chu Huaixu could level up without restraint, not fearing any screams.
Anyway, the long-legged person in the adjacent room had long been accustomed to this.
On the contrary, was this really a scream?
It was the battle cry for internal competition!
When he cried out, the Big Ice Block knew that this sly fox had broken through again.
Chu Huaixu opened his character panel and leveled up twice in one go.
A heart-wrenching scream echoed through the night sky. Chu Huaixu, proficiently, fainted from the pain.
Before he lost consciousness, he felt the pain of being crushed by a heavy object all over his body, his last thought being: “Damn it, it’s a full seven-seater commercial vehicle!”
He had now come to a realization. He felt that enduring the pain head-on was the stupidest behavior; fainting directly was the best course of action.
The Big Ice Block living next door frowned upon hearing the wail.
“He’s crying again?” she thought.
Han Shuangjiang, with a determined spirit, also began to hurry up in opening her meridians.
By the time the sun was high, Chu Huaixu slowly woke up.
In fact, he had regained some consciousness after being unconscious for more than an hour. He simply took advantage of his fatigue and fell into a deep sleep, never bothering to get up.
After a simple wash-up, he saw that there was still white porridge and side dishes left for him on the wooden table by Han Shuangjiang.
However, the porridge was no longer hot, just lukewarm.
Chu Huaixu was not picky and didn’t bother to knock on the door to ask her to heat up the porridge.
He poured the side dishes in and started gulping down the porridge.
While he was halfway through drinking, an uninvited guest arrived outside the bamboo house.
It was Liu Chenggong, the deputy captain of the Law Enforcement Team.
This guy’s motive was pure: to establish good relations privately.
He had already identified both Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang as extraordinary talents!
As for his own cousin… alas!
Liu Chengqi had been a bit obsessed recently, blurring the lines between reality and illusion. Whenever he closed his eyes, dire nightmares would plague him, making him feel as if he were trapped inside and unable to escape. His body felt as if it were being pressed by a ghost, rendering him unable to open his eyes.
His cousin’s condition was very poor. He had even lost interest in ‘playing’ with married women, indicating a severe illness.
“Junior Brother Chu, are you drinking porridge?” Liu Chenggong approached with two jars of good wine, smiling.
He had already prepared himself for the possibility of facing a cold shoulder.
He couldn’t help it; this Chu Huaixu had even dared to openly slap his own uncle, possessing an incredibly formidable background and being extremely arrogant!
But Liu Chenggong was clear-headed. Even if the ‘buttocks’ were cold, he had to stick to it!
However, to his surprise, he saw a spark in Chu Huaixu’s eyes. He actually got up and greeted him with a smile.
“Why is he here? He’s messing with my experience point plan,” Chu Huaixu thought.
Originally, he had planned to get a wooden board today and write “Invincible in the Meridian-Opening Stage” on it. He intended to put it up in the arena area of the outer sect to attract a lot of hatred.
The goal was to provoke widespread anger.
He had even thought of initiating a mass taunt, causing the people in the Meridian-Opening Stage to swarm him for a group battle.
Cultivation was not about practicing in isolation. Sparring was very popular among cultivators, as it benefited their own understanding and cultivation progress.
Therefore, the system also had such a function.
However, the experience points obtained through sparring had a cap for each realm and could not be infinitely grinded.
If Chu Huaixu completely overwhelmed others, or was overwhelmed by others, it would be difficult to gain experience points.
When the fight was evenly matched, you would get them.
A regretful defeat would also yield them.
Being utterly defeated could also earn experience points.
But if you were instantly killed, the system might not give you any.
“I am now a mighty eight-meridian expert!”
“Furthermore, I cultivate both internally and externally!”
“If these Meridian-Opening Stage cultivators don’t swarm me, aren’t I capable of taking them down one by one with a single punch?”
Thus, Chu Huaixu had even prepared the wooden board, just waiting to pick up the brush and write.
Chu Huaixu, oh Chu Huaixu, when will you be number one in the Meridian-Opening Stage?
– It’s now!
But Liu Chenggong’s arrival was timed perfectly. He was also a decent sparring partner.
“Senior Brother Liu, we are already so familiar with each other. Junior Brother won’t say any polite words,” Chu Huaixu got straight to the point.
Liu Chenggong: “???”
Although confused, he understood in his heart that many superiors adopted such an attitude, casually finding an excuse to ask you to do something. A simple “You and I are very familiar” was treated as a bestowed favor, a sign of honor.
Seeing that this deputy captain of the Law Enforcement Team was actually the one eagerly seeking favor, he immediately stuck his face forward.
“Junior Brother, please speak. In the outer sect, our Law Enforcement Team can do quite a lot,” he straightened his back, the lightning patterns on his black uniform so conspicuous.
“Junior Brother, my cultivation has stagnated. Today, I’m stuck at the ninth meridian and can’t break through. Today, I fear I won’t be able to make any further progress. I’d like to spar with Senior Brother for a bit. Is that possible?” Chu Huaixu asked.
“A bottleneck period! Right! A bottleneck period!” he added.
Liu Chenggong was starting to feel numb.
“You’ve already opened eight meridians? And in just a few days? And from what you’re saying, you feel restless if you don’t make progress for a day, right?”
“No! Being stuck for a day is also called a bottleneck period?” He looked at that sly face with great discomfort.
But he was originally here to curry favor with the Daoist Sect’s prodigy. Seeing his rapid progress, he wanted to give it his all.
Liu Chenggong immediately set down the two jars of good wine, putting on a show of generosity. “Alright! Then I shall spar with Junior Brother for a bit, and afterwards, we can drink and celebrate. Let’s finish this good wine!”
“Thank you, Senior Brother Liu!” Chu Huaixu cupped his fists immediately.
The commotion from the two of them even drew Han Shuangjiang from next door.
However, she harbored disgust towards the Liu family and merely stood at the entrance of her bamboo house to observe, not approaching.
Liu Chenggong proposed, “Junior Brother Chu, since it’s a spar, I won’t use my internal Spiritual Power.”
He was at the Second Realm, and using Spiritual Power would be too much of an advantage.
Those with Spiritual Power and those without were as different as heaven and earth.
Liu Chenggong even took off his most ostentatious Spirit Sword and said, “Junior Brother, blades and swords have no eyes. I won’t use my Green Pine Sword for now either.”
“No, Senior Brother Liu, you can forgo using Spiritual Power, but you must use your sword,” Chu Huaixu had his own principles.
“Then, alright. Junior Brother Chu, be careful!” he reminded him.
Then, Liu Chenggong drew his mid-grade Spirit Sword and even began to rambles on about his sword and sword techniques.
He believed that this way, his role as a sparring partner would be more effective.
As a result, Chu Huaixu didn’t listen to a single word.
– Blah blah blah, come and kill me quickly!
The sparring officially began. Han Shuangjiang watched from afar at the sharp Green Pine Sword, feeling a bit worried.
She actually felt that blades and swords had no eyes; how could one counter a sword with their palms?
“Junior Brother Chu, look at the sword!” Liu Chenggong thrust forward, unleashing his Thunderclap Sword Technique.
Although he wasn’t using Spiritual Power, his speed was still astonishingly faster than cultivators in the Meridian-Opening Stage!
Of course, he had deliberately held back some of his strength.
Chu Huaixu dodged to the side, stepping back half a pace, and his body evaded the long sword.
His ink-black long hair then fluttered backward.
He raised his right hand, brought his index and middle fingers together, and then flicked them forward, his fingers striking the blade of the Green Pine Sword.
“Ding—!”
The sword was actually flicked away.
