Chapter 27: Brother, We Will Meet Soon

After confirming that there were no more demons or evil spirits, Xu Xi left the World Ruins.

Once this news was confirmed, it immediately caused a huge sensation.

No one expected that the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, which originally required the Supernatural Administration Bureau General Bureau to take action just to barely suppress it, would actually be solved by Xu Xi alone.

How is that possible? The weakest evil things inside were at the Foundation Establishment level, and there were quite a few at the Golden Core Stage and Nascent Soul Stage!

With only Golden Core Stage cultivation, Xu Xi shouldn't have been able to eliminate the enemies alone!

"Hiss—" A sound of gasping echoed at the scene.

Everyone wore shocked expressions, looking at Xu Xi in disbelief.

"I understand now. Senior Xu is a hidden Soul Transformation Cultivator. His Golden Core cultivation is just a facade for us to see, just like in novels—pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger!"

"From the very first time I saw Senior Xu, I knew he was a powerhouse to rely on!"

"Foster father, do you still need a thigh pendant?!"

"Ahem, actually, I have a younger sister…"

Facing the excited crowd, Xu Xi helplessly explained: "I really am just a Golden Core Cultivator."

However, no one believed this truth.

Even the most honest Wang Dali had an expression that said, "Are you kidding me?"

In the end, Xu Xi could only let everyone misunderstand. After all, with the eternal teardrop in hand, his combat power was indeed far superior to an ordinary Golden Core.

The matter concluded perfectly at this point.

The Transcendents from the General Bureau who were originally rushing to support also turned back halfway, leaving only a small group of Transcendents and research scholars behind to collect samples from the World Ruins.

Afterward, Zhang Yaoguo asked Xu Xi what reward he wanted.

This World Ruins posed a huge threat, and Xu Xi's ability to solve it ahead of time was a massive contribution; for a moment, they really didn't know how to reward him.

"If possible, I would like to exchange it all for Transcendent items. Yes, all of it. And I do not need Transcendent items from the cultivation side."

He did not ask for huaxia currency. He did not ask for points either.

Amidst Zhang Yaoguo's stunned expression, Xu Xi made this strange request.

"Okay, I understand."

Although he didn't know why Xu Xi, as a Cultivator, needed Transcendent items from other systems, Zhang Yaoguo readily agreed.

Not long after, Xu Xi received over a thousand Transcendent items.

The quality varied, some damaged and some intact.

Xu Xi topped them all up into the simulator, increasing the loading progress significantly.

It was a pity that because there were too many types of Transcendent items, the progress of the Anchor Mediums varied, and in the end, none of the loading progress reached 100%.

This meant that Xu Xi needed to continue working hard and dump more Transcendent items into the simulator.

"The one with the highest loading progress right now is the magic side's Anchor Medium, at a full 83%."

"Since that's the case, let's start with the magic side first."

After returning home, Xu Xi began his great Alchemy undertaking without stopping.

Purchase raw Materials from Supernatural Home—refine finished Medicinal Pills—list them for sale on Supernatural Home—use the earned points to continue purchasing Materials.

Repeating this cycle and constantly squeezing his rest time, Xu Xi finally reached the final moment of harvest.

"Bang!" Over twenty days later. At night.

As the copper lid of the Pill Furnace flew off, dozens of golden Medicinal Pills floated in mid-air. Xu Xi lightly flicked a porcelain bottle, and the Medicinal Pills flew into the bottle on their own, all sealed up.

"Huu," he exhaled a long breath of turbid air. The exhaustion on Xu Xi's face was hard to conceal.

"This is the last batch of Yellow Dragon Pills. Tomorrow, after I sell them, I can purchase another batch of magic-side items to fill up the remaining magic-side progress."

"Finally, finally. These days, refining pills day and night, I feel like I'm going to be refined myself."

He shook the porcelain bottle in his hand, listening to the sound of the Medicinal Pills colliding with each other. Xu Xi sighed again.

Then he put all the Medicinal Pills into his Storage Ring. He glanced at the night scene outside the window, saw the bright moon hanging high, and no longer suppressed his drowsiness, walking over to the bed and lying down peacefully.

A Golden Core Stage Cultivator had long replaced normal sleep with meditation. They could go without sleep or rest.

However, Xu Xi was simply too tired. Over twenty consecutive days of Alchemy had left him mentally exhausted; he just wanted to fall into a deep sleep and not care about anything else.

Not long after, a faint sound of breathing arose in the quiet room, indicating that the owner had entered a state of sleep.

"…" The moonlight was like water, and the night was tranquil. This was an extremely quiet and peaceful night.

The pure white moonlight, cold and refreshing, faint and soft, twinkled together with the radiance of the stars.

The moonlight was not as brilliant as sunlight, nor did it have such scorching temperature.

But on the dim nights of the human world, the moonlight passed through the window, piercing through the gaps in the thick curtains, and instantly illuminated the entire room.

With an incomparably gentle posture, it plated the objects in the room with a layer of silvery-white luster.

Including that cold, aloof figure that appeared at some unknown time and stood quietly by the bedside; the ends of her jet-black hair were also tinged with a silver halo.

"Brother…" she called out like this. Her voice trembled slightly, carrying infinite attachment.

Her fingertips pressed against Xu Xi's chest. Just like when she was a child, she bent down, tilted her head, and let herself lie on her brother's chest.

Feeling the familiar chest, the familiar body temperature, and the familiar scent, her uneasy and guilty heart finally calmed down.

Brother has returned. Brother has really returned.

Witnessing her brother's existence with her own eyes, touching her brother's existence with her own hands, listening to her brother's existence with her own ears, Xu Moli finally obtained the answer she wanted.

That hero who belonged solely to her, that sun that belonged solely to her, had truly and tangibly returned.

"Brother, we will meet soon, definitely…" Lying on her brother, the young girl said softly.

Finding the brother she had been longing for was originally a good thing, but she didn't know why her brother would appear in this weak and minuscule space-time.

Because of this, Xu Moli's true body could not enter here at all.

If she were to forcibly descend, it would only burst everything and destroy everything.

She did not want to do something that would make her brother hate her.

Therefore, in the infinitely distant other side of space-time, Xu Moli, who had already achieved a level above Immortal Emperor, was destroying one cultivation world after another at an extremely fast speed, merging their fragments with Earth's space-time.

Preparing to use this method to increase Earth's own carrying capacity, until it was enough for her true body to descend.

At that time, the young girl would be able to fulfill her wish and live with her brother again.

It's just that—her true body not being able to descend doesn't mean she can't make contact. With the help of the eternal teardrop that Xu Xi wears, Xu Moli can sense Xu Xi's existence at any time, and a wisp of her power can descend by Xu Xi's side.

Just like now. A wisp of power, a single thought, can construct a body that can walk.

The reason she hadn't dared to acknowledge or make contact with Xu Xi for so long was mostly because she was afraid.

Afraid that her brother wouldn't accept her now that she had changed so much.

Afraid that her brother would blame her.

Afraid that her brother wouldn't welcome her arrival.
