Chapter 63 Everything is ready!
"Beep beep beep!"
As Jiang Xiu walked out, the silver-white metal door of the armory slowly closed, and the golden toad on the bookshelf slowly closed its blood-red eyes.
After checking and finding nothing amiss, Jiang Xiu carried the cold metal box over the screen and walked out of the main hall.
"Hmm? Junior brother, what are you holding? It looks so familiar..."
Aruheng had just finished an acupuncture treatment and was preparing to start body tempering cultivation while the medicine was still in effect when he saw Jiang Xiu carrying a large metal box out. The metal box looked very familiar to him, but with his blood surging within him, he couldn't remember it for a moment.
"It's alright, Senior Brother. I just took a few trinkets. You can continue your cultivation."
Jiang Xiu waved his hand and said that after confirming his plan, he was prepared to act first and inform others later regarding the level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell.
The ant queen leaving her base camp is an extremely rare opportunity; once missed, it could mean waiting for who knows how long.
"Alright, Master will be back soon. Junior Brother, you need to balance your training with rest. Don't push yourself too hard."
Aruheng nodded slightly and said that Jiang Xiu had such talent and was so diligent in his cultivation that he could hardly keep up with the acupuncture.
"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother. I'll go now. When Na'er arrives, please tell her to go back first. I'll go see her after my seclusion ends."
After Jiang Xiu finished speaking, he went straight into his room. Based on his understanding of Na'er, he knew that Na'er would definitely come today; in fact, Na'er never did.
"My junior brother's pressure is simply too great. If I were to be surpassed in cultivation by him, I would be a useless senior brother."
As Aruheng watched Jiang Xiu's door close, he thought to himself, "Our Body Sect has an unwritten rule that among fellow disciples, the older ones protect the younger ones, and the stronger ones protect the weak."
If he were to bear the title of the senior brother, only to be protected by his junior brother in the future, then his reputation would be worthless.
"Never mind, I'll push my body today, three acupuncture needles!"
Immediately, Aruheng shook his head, a resolute glint in his eyes, and took out three long tubes of potion, stroking them with his large palm as if caressing the source of power.
"Jiang Xiu! Jiang Xiu! I've come to cultivate with you!"
Just as Aruheng was about to administer the three needles simultaneously, Na'er's melodious voice suddenly rang out from outside the gray tiled wall, followed by the opening of the vermilion gate by a graceful figure.
"Huh? Senior Brother, what are you doing!"
As soon as Na'er entered the room, she saw Aruheng holding three silver potions and stabbing them into her arm. She exclaimed in surprise with her red lips slightly parted.
Since Na'er and Jiang Xiu share the same teacher, Zhen Hua, Na'er has frequently visited Jiang Xiu at the Body Sect over the past four years, and thus directly refers to Aruheng as her senior brother.
"Ah, it's Na'er! I thought it was Na'er. I didn't do anything, just finished eating and was about to take a walk... haha..."
Upon seeing Na'er appear, Aruheng quickly put away the potion, scratched his head, and smiled awkwardly. After all, in his opinion, this behavior was not very honorable.
"Senior Brother, why has your head become pointy?"
Na'er looked at the furtive Aruheng and suddenly noticed the slightly protruding top of Aruheng's head, and exclaimed in surprise.
"Then let me ask you, let me ask you, shouldn't the top of the head be pointed?"
Aru scratched his head and asked.
"Hmm... Senior Brother, is Jiang Xiu still in seclusion?"
Na'erzhen shook her head slightly, not dwelling on the issue with Aruheng, but instead asking about Jiang Xiu.
"Na'er, you're a step too late. Junior Brother just went into seclusion to cultivate. He said you should go back to the Spirit Pagoda first, and he'll come find you after he finishes his seclusion."
Aruheng pointed to the door to Jiang Xiu's room, which was already closed, and answered truthfully.
"Oh? I shouldn't have eaten that extra bowl of beef noodles..."
Hearing that she was so close, Na'er pouted and murmured, her tone full of regret.
She actually missed seeing her boss because of her pregnancy, and since returning from the East Sea Spirit Pagoda, she hasn't seen Jiang Xiu for several days.
"Na'er, why don't you go back first?" Aruheng asked softly.
"It's okay, I'll wait for him here."
Na'erzhen nodded slightly, because she could vaguely sense an unusual power in Jiang Xiu's room, as if something big was happening inside.
Just to be on the safe side, she decided to stay.
"Alright, Master is coming back today, I'll go cook first."
Seeing this, Aruheng didn't say anything more, since Na'er wouldn't be lost in the Body Sect anyway.
"Oh! Then, Senior Brother, I want steamed lamb, steamed deer hooves, steamed duck..."
Upon hearing the word "food," Na'er's eyes lit up, and she chuckled as she suggested what she wanted to eat.
Aruheng followed Muye around and not only learned the secret techniques of the body but also inherited Muye's cooking skills, making him a top-notch chef even in the outside world.
"walk slowly."
Aruheng paused, his expression froze, and he nodded mechanically, saying that he was in for a busy day.
"By the way, Senior Brother, you should use that little silver needle less often in the future. It wouldn't be good if bad news came from the Body Sect."
As Aruheng walked into the kitchen, Na'er whispered meaningfully.
"Cough cough, it's alright. This is the latest research from my master, it's natural and has no side effects."
Aruheng coughed twice, and his figure vanished instantly.
Na'er could only shrug her shoulders and walk to the wooden stump outside Jiang Xiu's door. She used her soul power to sweep away the dust on it, then sat down on it, propping her head up with her hand, her beautiful eyes fixed on Jiang Xiu's room.
The sun blazed fiercely in the sky, the shadows of the trees swayed gently, and the piercing chirping of cicadas added another splash of color to this sweltering summer.
Inside the room, the king's domain shone brightly, and the dark night enveloped everything.
Jiang Xiu slowly opened the metal box, revealing the large, level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonball inside. He then raised his slender hand and placed it on the complex inscriptions on the surface of the Destroyer.
"Come on, let's move!"
With a low shout, the Shadow King rose up behind Jiang Xiu, and a surge of dark soul power surged out, gradually enveloping the Destroyer like a tide.
Beneath the scorched earth of the Abyss Plane, within the King's Domain, the Destroyer's cold body began to gradually solidify from the ethereal.
Meanwhile, the bodies of some of the shadow ants on the outermost edge gradually became illusory, and the energy fluctuations they emitted became sluggish, as if they had withered.
The Shadow King needs to consume energy to teleport inanimate objects, and the energy consumed by a powerful soul tool like a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon is naturally extraordinary.
Therefore, Jiang Xiu first drew energy from the bodies of these shadow soldiers to replenish his own energy, because he would have to deal with the ant queen above later.
"Buzzing!"
A soft hum resounded through the space, and the Destroyer's body finally solidified completely, arriving from Douluo Continent into this world filled with madness and devouring.
