82: Open the treasure chest and meet Silly White Sweet

"Young Master, isn't this a bit wasteful...?"

The next day, inside the Chu Family's restaurant, An Luoxin watched the scene before her, her eyes twitching, finding it hard to look away.

Great Emperor's essence blood, such a Supreme treasure, was an unparalleled treasure in their Imperial Dynasty; even her mother, when she was in power, didn't obtain more than a few drops.

But now... Jun Lingxiao was actually using it to nourish an egg?

"Wasteful?"

Jun Lingxiao chuckled softly, looking at the pulsating egg in his hand, not feeling it was wasteful at all.

He had just used the Great Emperor's essence blood, mixed with Nine Profound Phoenix Wing Grass, and the Immortal Beast Stones previously left in the warehouse, crushed them, and melted them all into the egg, finally dripping a drop of his own blood onto it.

This egg, which had been silent before, finally began to show signs of life.

While Great Emperor's essence blood was precious, he didn't need it yet.

What's more, the Jun Family certainly wasn't lacking Great Emperors; if he needed it in the future, it would definitely be available, so there was no need to conserve it.

Moreover, this was originally Han Feng's Opportunity; Jun Lingxiao was certain this drop of blood existed for this egg.

The essence blood was still that essence blood, but the owner had changed.

If he wasn't mistaken, his biggest gain from this trip to the Lower Realm was actually this egg; whatever was inside definitely wouldn't be simple.

"He's not back yet?"

Putting away the egg, Jun Lingxiao asked.

He was asking about Jun Zizhuo.

Jun Zizhuo seemed very curious about everything in the Lower Realm; just before they were about to leave, he insisted on buying some local specialties to take back.

As a result, an hour had passed, and he was still nowhere to be seen.

An Luoxin nodded; she didn't care what Jun Zizhuo was doing.

Alright, just in time to check the mall.

Jun Lingxiao thought, immediately opening the newly unlocked mall and starting to browse.

It had to be said, the System mall had quite a lot of things.

"Great Emperor's essence blood, 100,000; Heavenly Emperor's essence blood, 1,000,000; Immortal Emperor's essence blood, 10,000,000 harvesting points?"

"Divine weapons, Secret Manuals, Cultivation Techniques... truly everything imaginable."

Because he had just mentioned essence blood, he searched for it, and indeed it was there, even Immortal Emperor's essence blood, but the harvesting points required were far too many.

"If I could get a drop of Immortal Emperor's essence blood for the Old Ancestor, perhaps he would have a chance to Breakthrough?"

He thought, then shook his head. Ten million, ah, he'd take it slow.

Then Jun Lingxiao looked at another category in the mall; the words 'Limited Time' were particularly striking.

This section sold some of Han Feng's items.

He had checked yesterday; the System said that by killing a Protagonist, a portion of his items could be listed in the mall for purchase, and the more harvesting points he had, the more destiny he possessed, which could counteract the Protagonist Halo.

"Golden Body Dharma Idol... Fang Family's ultimate technique. This thing is only powerful for a moment; in front of a true Heaven and Earth Dharma, it's nothing but a younger brother. Learning it now would only hold him back."

Looking left and right, it seemed only this item was somewhat useful; the rest, like the Han Family Cultivation Technique and Guan Xue Holy Land Secret Manuals, were truly trash among trash.

If it were him before comprehending the Domain, he would have learned it without hesitation, as it would greatly boost his combat power. But he had already faintly touched the threshold of the Dharma Idol; learning this now would be like picking up sesame seeds and losing a watermelon.

Shaking his head, he closed the System panel and opened his own panel.

He remembered there was a treasure chest, and it seemed he had received some kind of fate reward?

The panel has been optimized again.

"Ultimate Villain fate, can slightly suppress the Protagonist? Upgrade requires 1, meaning killing another Protagonist will upgrade this fate?"

"Then if this fate levels up, will he be able to scare the Protagonist to death with just a glance?"

Jun Lingxiao thought with some interest, but all of this was just his speculation; the future was still far off.

At the same time, he guessed that his previous fate might have been 'villain,' it just wasn't displayed. So did he have other hidden attributes?

Thinking this, he directly opened the treasure chest in his warehouse.

The box jumped a few times, then a golden light flashed.

[Ding! Obtained one Check-in Critical Strike Voucher! (Check-in will definitely be a critical strike, must be used before checking in)]

[Obtained 2000 Harvesting Points.]

[Obtained one Check-in Critical Strike Voucher!]

Ah, so opening boxes was also a lottery process: two item vouchers plus some harvesting points.

Better than nothing, he supposed.

"I just don't know if this Critical Strike Voucher can be used at high-value check-in points. High-value check-in locations can already crit, so what would a critical strike within a critical strike be?"

While Jun Lingxiao was thinking this, a commotion suddenly came from next door.

This large restaurant had long been cleared by the Head of the Chu Family; besides a few servants, there was no one else, and a sign was hung outside.

But a few people still walked straight in.

Jun Lingxiao glanced over; although there were no distinct features, one woman among them was carrying a lamp with a large 'Chu' character printed on it, which exposed them.

"Chu Family People from the Lower Realm, huh..."

He took one look and then turned his head away, no longer watching.

The other party was from the Chu Family, but they still entered, which meant they were not from this world, and their cultivation didn't seem high, so they could only be from the Middle Thousand World.

Jun Lingxiao wasn't such a petty person; after all, it was his mother's Family, so he had no intention of driving them away.

He was leaving soon anyway.

"Where are the people? Why is no one here? You go in and check."

"This little princess sure knows how to run; making us carry the blood lamp and search Realm by Realm, it's exhausting."

"Don't complain. That's the little princess of the Chu Family's main branch; who wouldn't be anxious if she got lost?"

"Let's rest a bit and get going as soon as possible. It seems she's not in this Realm either."

"These important figures just love to wander around, it's a headache. I wonder if we'll find her today."

"Enough of that. I heard Junior Sister awakened a dual-element Spiritual Root. Congratulations!"

"Of course! Among my peers, I'm the first!"

Seven people, five men and two women, sat down and began to chatter.

One woman answered with her head held high, her expression full of pride.

The group was lively, seemingly oblivious to Jun Lingxiao next door.

But this wasn't because Jun Lingxiao and his companion were inconspicuous; quite the opposite.

Upon entering, their gazes naturally fell upon Jun Lingxiao. He sat upright, his demeanor calm and reserved, as if surrounded by clouds and mist, obscuring his true appearance.

Just one glance was so captivating, making people feel he was mysterious, noble, and aloof, not daring to look further.

The difference between people from the Upper Realm and Lower Realm lay in this: knowing what to look at and what not to look at.

And from their conversation, Jun Lingxiao understood who this group was.

Chu Family People from the Middle Thousand World; some little princess of the Chu Family had disappeared, and they were ordered to descend to the Lower Realm to find her.

Jun Lingxiao didn't really know much about the Chu Family. The most crucial thing was that the Chu Family hadn't sent anyone to look for him; only an uncle appeared at his tenth birthday banquet, full of words trying to coax him back to the Chu Family.

His mother also seemed unwilling to mention it. Since the other party didn't come, Jun Lingxiao naturally didn't want to fawn over them, nor did he have any interest in understanding them.

But the 'attributes' they mentioned did make Jun Lingxiao a bit curious.

"Attributes? Spiritual Root?"

"How is it that I seem to have never heard of these?"

Jun Lingxiao looked at An Luoxin, who was standing beside him, and asked.

An Luoxin had been watching him from his side; every time Jun Lingxiao turned his head, their eyes would meet.

However, this time, before An Luoxin could speak, a discordant voice came from beside them.

"Where did this person come from, so uncultured, not even knowing about Spiritual Roots...?"

Jun Lingxiao hadn't deliberately suppressed his voice when speaking, so anyone who wanted to listen could hear him.

Among the Chu Family group, the woman who had just been holding her head high muttered softly after hearing it, her voice very low, as if her inner thoughts had accidentally slipped out.

Yet, she didn't expect... to look up and see her companions all staring at her with surprise and horror, as if she had said something wrong.

Suddenly, no one spoke; the scene was eerily silent.

"What's wrong?"

She still hadn't grasped the seriousness of the situation, asking in confusion.

It wasn't until someone gestured towards Jun Lingxiao's direction that she realized the young man at the next table had, at some point, looked over and was now staring fixedly at her.

He wore a smile, a nonchalant smile, but... his gaze was like he was looking at a dead person.
