CHAPTER 621: OPENING THE BLIND BOX

Chapter 621: Opening the Blind Box

...

This was the first time Chen Huaian had been kicked out of a game so abruptly.

He had originally planned to wait until Li Qingran woke up, give her the Phoenix Origin Pill, and then log off.

Had things become that urgent already?

He closed his eyes and opened them again.

What greeted his vision was a gray, hazy starry sky.

Aha~ So it was already night time on Earth Star...

But that made sense, he had been away from Earth Star for so long, even with the time difference, quite some time must have passed here...

Wait, that's not right!

He shouldn't be able to see the starry sky.

The roof of his room had been torn open!

"Old Chen, you're finally awake."

A deep voice sounded from beside him. Chen Huaian turned his head to see Zhang Yibai, his hair graying but his body still muscular. After a few days apart, Zhang Yibai looked considerably more haggard.

The ceiling of Containment Area 0 had indeed been torn open, leaving a gap.

Cold wind was whistling in through the opening.

Zhao Ying and Xiang Xiaoyuan were both there, but Wang Shouyi and Hua Jin the True One were nowhere to be seen.

Many staff members were also gathered here.

However, everyone's expressions were rather grim.

Chen Huaian's heart tightened, and he quickly asked, "Has something urgent happened?"

"Gu Changsheng has been captured." Zhang Yibai said with a grave expression.

"What?!" Chen Huaian's eyebrows shot up as he stood up: "Gu Changsheng is half-step into the Void Shattering realm! Who in this world could capture him so easily?" ṝАΝôᛒΕŠ

"They say it was people from the Great Thunder Temple."

Zhang Yibai shook his head: "This old man doesn't understand these matters very well. Besides Gu Changsheng, Wang Shouyi and Hua Jin have also been captured. The ones who acted were from the Kunlun Immortal Palace, which has now installed a new True One."

This situation was somewhat terrible.

Chen Huaian's frown deepened.

Zhang Yibai patted Chen Huaian's shoulder, comforting him: "Don't worry, Gu Changsheng's life tablet is still standing, which means he's fine.

The other party captured Gu Changsheng surely because they are curious about his origins and experiences; they won't necessarily kill him immediately.

The most pressing matter right now is for us to decide whom to rescue first and discuss a strategy."

Chen Huaian nodded and briefly learned about the situation from Zhao Ying.

So much had happened in the last two or three days.

First, the Sword Cultivator sent by the Blood Blade True One provoked trouble, and Gu Changsheng resolved this calamity. Then came the monk transformed from the Golden Scale Giant Python, who was also the one who captured Gu Changsheng.

Later, Wang Shouyi notified Zhang Yibai, but on the way back to the Exorcist Division, he was captured by the Kunlun Immortal Palace.

Hua Jin the True One was captured at the same time.

This was undoubtedly because the Kunlun Immortal Palace saw that Gu Changsheng had been captured by the Great Thunder Temple, leaving the C Province Exorcist Division completely without threat, so they seized this opportunity to act.

Whether it was Wang Shouyi, Hua Jin, or Gu Changsheng, none of them had been captured for long; they were certainly still alive, and there was still hope for rescue.

"Rescue Gu Changsheng first." Chen Huaian said after a brief silence, looking at Zhang Yibai.

Zhang Yibai naturally understood Chen Huaian's choice.

To put it bluntly, Wang Shouyi and Hua Jin were merely tools to be used.

There were certainly feelings involved, but they couldn't compare at all to a disciple of one's own sect.

If a choice had to be made, Gu Changsheng would definitely be chosen.

"To rescue Gu Changsheng, we must go to the Great Thunder Temple. Do you know where the Great Thunder Temple is? Do you know what level of strength that Golden Scale Giant Python actually has?" Zhang Yibai fired off two questions in succession, leaving Chen Huaian stunned.

In the Cangyun Realm, if there was anything he didn't know, he could rely on his Great Ascension Stage cultivation to calculate it.

If that really didn't work, he still had the trump card of Heaven's Calculation.

But in the real world, at best, he was only a talented cultivator about to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage; his cultivation level wasn't even as high as his disciple Li Qingran's.

The functions of the Electronic Girlfriend game system simply couldn't be used.

"Without specific intelligence, we cannot take the risk."

Zhang Yibai sighed.

He didn't blame Chen Huaian.

He was more experienced and worldly than Chen Huaian, but his understanding of the Great Thunder Temple and the Kunlun Immortal Palace was still very limited.

They just hadn't had enough contact time.

If he hadn't infiltrated the Kunlun Immortal Palace as a spy, he might be even more lost than Chen Huaian.

"Governor Chen, if you want to know specific intelligence about the Great Thunder Temple, Hua Jin the True One certainly understands it better than anyone."

Zhao Ying, recalling how Hua Jin the True One had previously seemed to hesitate to speak, stroked her chin and suggested: "After all, the Great Thunder Temple and the Kunlun Immortal Palace are in competition. Hua Jin the True One must have investigated the Great Thunder Temple, so..."

"So we rescue Hua Jin and Wang Shouyi first."

Chen Huaian understood.

First, fish Hua Jin out, then obtain intelligence about the Great Thunder Temple from her, and proceed gradually from there.

Taking this path would certainly be simpler than charging headlong into the Great Thunder Temple without a plan.

Because he and Zhang Yibai had mixed within the Kunlun Immortal Palace, they knew some of its details.

For example, the newly appointed True One, even if stronger than Hua Jin, would certainly only be marginally so.

"Old Zhang, I'll go get ready. We'll set out immediately after I'm prepared."

Chen Huaian pondered that his little disciple was quite impressive, her cultivation advancing too rapidly.

He still had three Supreme Blind Boxes given by the battle pass that he hadn't opened yet.

If he could get some useful items from them, this rescue operation would have a few more guarantees.

"You go prepare. This old man will wait for you outside the Exorcist Division."

Zhang Yibai nodded.

He also needed to make some preparations, as a tough battle might follow.

...

Zhao Ying and Xiang Xiaoyuan had left.

Only Chen Huaian, the Nine-Turn Spirit Orchid, Muscle Tyrant, and its friends remained in Containment Area 0.

Chen Huaian didn't bother hiding it. He directly took the three Supreme Blind Boxes out of his player inventory, clasped his hands together, and said: "Heaven spirits, earth spirits, please grant this Venerable One something useful..."

The Nine-Turn Spirit Orchid watched Chen Huaian pleading desperately to every possible deity.

Her heart stirred, and a wisp of spiritual light sprinkled down onto the three blind boxes. After doing this, she seemed to have consumed a lot of vitality, visibly wilting.

Chen Huaian rubbed his hands together and opened the first blind box.

As a radiance flashed, a case about the size of a medicine box appeared in his hand.

A faint medicinal aroma wafted from the case.

What's this? A mysterious pill? He scratched his head, picked up the Electronic Girlfriend's scan function, and aimed it at the box. A row of information immediately appeared.

[Nine-Turn Union Bliss Pill (Saint Grade): When consuming this pill and practicing dual cultivation with a Dao Companion, the user will receive an infusion of the Dao Companion's power, while the Dao Companion receives nourishment from pure Yang energy, temporarily enhancing comprehension. When using this pill to gather Yin to supplement Yang, the Dao Companion's power and foundation will not be damaged.]

"Well I'll be... a good item!"

It truly was a good item.

Considering the current time flow rate between the two worlds and Li Qingran's cultivation speed.

Li Qingran's cultivation level would only become higher and higher than his.

Then this pill could come into play.

This thing shouldn't be called the Nine-Turn Union Bliss Pill.

It would be more appropriate to call it the 'Nine-Turn Soft Rice Pill'.

"Although the pill is good, it's useless for the rescue mission."

Chen Huaian shook his head and opened the second Supreme Blind Box.

Another noble purple radiance flashed.

A golden token appeared in Chen Huaian's hand.

The token had the character "Divine" written on it, and it actually looked somewhat similar to the Sect Summoning Token?

Could it be...

That it has a function similar to the Sect Summoning Token?

...
