Please, Mr. Su, take action.

After completely settling down in Hang City, Su Ming entered his normal Cultivate mode.

After all, his current eye problem still caused many inconveniences for his daily activities.

Besides that, he was supervising Lin Zhaodi's cultivation.

The faster the Little Girl stepped into the Longevity Realm, the sooner he could receive the rewards given by the System.

However, the Little Girl still didn't seem used to the dull and boring cultivation life of a Cultivator.

Often, halfway through her cultivation, she would beg Su Ming to take her out to look around.

Of course, Lin Zhaodi also knew her limits and never disturbed Su Ming while he was refining Star Power.

To prevent the Little Girl from getting distracted, Su Ming made a pact with her.

As long as she cultivated obediently and worked hard to improve her Realm, he would take her out to play and buy her delicious food and fun things.

With rewards on the line, the Little Girl worked even harder at her cultivation.

With the help of Medicinal Pills and Spirit Medicine, she moved from the Mortal Realm to the Transcendent Realm in less than half a month.

Let alone the Qianyuan Continent, this would be shocking even in the Reincarnation Sword Realm.

In addition, Su Ming would have Chen Chuan bring him some historical records of the Reincarnation Sword Realm in his spare time.

Although Chen Chuan found it strange, after seeking Hu Xing's opinion, he regularly delivered those historical records to Su Ming's small courtyard at set times.

Then, Su Ming would have Lin Zhaodi read those ancient records to him.

As time passed, Su Ming inevitably began to have suspicions about Lin Zhaodi.

Because he had already learned the stories about that Peerless Sword Cultivator and the immortal blood.

As a protagonist of destiny, it was only natural for Lin Zhaodi to be born carrying immortal blood.

Coupled with the fact that she could unconsciously absorb Star Power even before officially beginning her cultivation, it was enough to prove she was the bearer of the immortal blood.

But this instead made Su Ming even more curious.

If Lin Zhaodi really possessed immortal blood, why did Chen Chuan and Hu Xing show no reaction?

Given their Realm and status, it should be impossible for them not to recognize immortal blood.

Unless destiny had modified these people's thoughts.

But this was clearly impossible.

Because destiny hadn't been pushed to a dead end yet, so it naturally wouldn't do such a thing.

"Brother Su, why do you look so troubled? Is this story not interesting? Should I change to another one for you?"

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about where I should take you to play after you step into the Longevity Realm."

Hearing this, Lin Zhaodi's eyes immediately lit up.

Although Hang City was large, half a month was more than enough time to explore it all.

Just then, Chen Chuan suddenly paid a visit.

Through their interactions during this time, he had learned Su Ming's surname: "Mr. Su, the Treasure Pavilion's merchant caravan will arrive in Hang City in a month. This is the Token for entry when the time comes."

"What kind of power is this Treasure Pavilion?"

"They are a merchant caravan that travels between various powers. They hold very precious resources; they can even sell a few Secret Realms."

However, Su Ming wasn't particularly interested and immediately wanted Chen Chuan to take the Token back.

However, seeing the richly designed and magnificent Token, Lin Zhaodi's eyes instantly sparkled.

"Brother, will you take me there to play when the time comes? Please?"

Originally, Su Ming wasn't very interested in this so-called Treasure Pavilion, but hearing Lin Zhaodi say this, he had a change of heart.

"If you can step into the Longevity Realm within a month, I will take you to browse this Treasure Pavilion."

"Really?!"

"When have I ever lied to you?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhaodi immediately returned to her room to Cultivate. In less than ten breaths, her Realm rose from the second level of the Transcendent Realm to the third level.

Obviously, Su Ming's method of inducement had worked.

With Lin Zhaodi's talent, as long as she worked hard enough, stepping into the Longevity Realm within a month was not a problem at all.

"City Lord Hu sent you here, likely not just to deliver a Token, right?"

"As expected, I cannot hide anything from Mr. Su."

"The City Lord sent me here not only to give Mr. Su the Token but also to hope that Mr. Su could take action once."

"Half a month ago, Mr. Su destroyed a stronghold of the Blood Sword Tower. While handling the aftermath, the City Lord followed the clues and discovered traces of core members of the Blood Sword Tower, so he sent me to invite Mr. Su to intervene."

Just as Su Ming was about to agree to participate in the operation, he heard a prompt from the System.

[Detected that this operation may result in a direct conflict with destiny. If the Host decides to participate, it is recommended to consume 500,000 destiny points to reverse this variable.]

This sudden prompt from the System left Su Ming momentarily stunned.

With the heaven-reaching pagoda and heaven-destroying whip in hand, unless a supreme heavenly mandate intervened, Su Ming really couldn't think of any variable that could affect him.

"System, the destiny of this world has been cut off from the supreme heavenly mandate, right?"

[Correct.]

"Then what other variable could possibly affect me?"

[The variable does not necessarily affect the Host. If the Host decides to participate, the System still recommends consuming destiny points to reverse the variable. In terms of the outcome, the Host will not lose out.]

The System being so mysterious piqued Su Ming's curiosity.

"Since you've put it that way, then deduct them."

The destiny points he had previously harvested from Lin Zhaodi, combined with the destiny points converted on the Qianyuan Continent, had long since brought Su Ming's total to nearly a million.

This expenditure of 500,000 was entirely within his acceptable range.

[destiny points have been deducted. Successfully reversed the variable.]

Seeing that Su Ming hadn't given an answer for a long time, Chen Chuan asked again: "Mr. Su... I wonder what your thoughts are?"

"No problem. I just don't know when City Lord Hu plans to act?"

Seeing Su Ming agree, Chen Chuan's hanging heart finally settled.

"The action is tonight. The carriage is already prepared and is at the end of the street."

"So urgent?" Su Ming suddenly frowned. He had thought there would be at least a day of planning, but he hadn't expected to strike tonight.

Could this also be part of the 'variable' the System mentioned?

"The situation is sudden, otherwise we wouldn't have come to ask Mr. Su to take action." Chen Chuan's expression was a bit awkward, as he hadn't explained the timing clearly to Su Ming earlier.

"Since it's sudden, we can't afford to delay." Su Ming said, walking toward the gate of the small courtyard.

Seeing this, Chen Chuan immediately moved to follow, but Su Ming waved his hand to stop him.

"Zhaodi needs someone to look after her. Chen Chuan, I'm sure you understand what I mean."

"If Zhaodi finishes her cultivation and asks about my whereabouts, please help me cover it up."

"While I am out, if anything happens to Zhaodi, don't blame me for being unkind..."

Su Ming's tone was very calm, but Chen Chuan could hear a chilling intent within it.

So he quickly patted his chest and guaranteed: "Please rest assured, Mr. Su, I will definitely ensure your sister's safety."

Su Ming nodded and turned to leave the courtyard.

Only when the courtyard gate closed did Chen Chuan dare to take a slightly deep breath...
