"Where is that lazy boy?" Mr. Han announced, as if expecting the sect to answer him immediately, but they were just as clueless as he was.
He gritted his teeth and walked off. Having the feeling of disgracing himself, he swore to teach Xuan a lesson. Someone had to sell the dual medicines, so where was Xuan when needed?
Uncle Han walked nearly around the sect two times, completely looking like a fool on a wild goose chase. He also noticed everyone staring at him. Han stopped himself.
Swollen veins appeared on his neck and his fists tightened. He yelled Xuan's name so loudly that maybe the nearby sects could hear him.
Unaware of his uncle's intentions, Xuan sat on the floor of the dimensional library, somehow floating in mid-space, just like the shelves.
He had come here after sweeping the outside and teaching Li Zhi and her gang a lesson. Then he inquired why the cube suddenly appeared.
The system replied, saying the cube is meant to protect the owners from physical attacks as long as the owner carries it wherever they go.
After that, Xuan walked around the library, looking for a good taboo technique to learn and summon himself to the otherworld.
There were many advantages in the otherworld, so although it was very dangerous, as described by Mr. Lan, Xuan couldn't resist going there to acquire enough meridian points.
Xuan was looking for a technique that would be very effective and could quickly gain him more yins as well. He had searched through the shelves.
Of course, every taboo technique he saw was very much amazing, but there were consequences for him since he had not gone past the meridian stage or any stage required. The technique could be considered too strong.
After relentlessly looking for a taboo technique, he finally found one, his heart jumping with excitement.
"Taboo Charging Bull Technique, gains 5 to 20 meridian yins."
Xuan smiled and began reading the technique. With the illustrations in the book, it was very easy to learn, and it didn't take him more than ten minutes to wrap up.
"That should be it. Last time, I believe that lady Zhao Lan only wanted to cultivate because they think I must have enough yin," Xuan sighed, feeling disappointed.
He stretched out his palm and the floating purple cube appeared. After saying the words, voom, Xuan disappeared from the dimensional library.
When he arrived at the otherworld, he confirmed his theory of the cube sending him right to the exact spot. Xuan looked at the floor and thought it had to do with the intricate signs and drawings carved on the floor.
This time, Xuan didn't get the warm welcome like before. He wasn't allowed to enter the mansion and was quickly told to enter the black limo in front of him.
"Mr. Lan says once you arrive, we should take you to meet Captain Mei Long."
Xuan didn't know what to say. He was expecting to see Zhao Lan and her expression toward him. Did he do well last time? But now he couldn't tell because she wasn't outside, so he just entered the limo.
They drove out of the big compound. Xuan was shocked by the size. It was his first time seeing skyscrapers, and also a billboard displaying a woman and a similar cultivating technique.
Could it be Uncle Han is the one who sold the dual cultivating technique to this world? Then what does he gain in return? Xuan asked himself inside his head.
The long drive finally came to an end. It was outside the city's gate. This was where someone opened the door for Xuan to step out.
"Captain Mei Long has sent someone to pick you up. He's waiting outside the wall," said the guard.
Xuan looked in the direction the man pointed—outside the giant wall of this big city. It was similar to the Harem Empire. Outside the walls was mostly deserted and filled with monsters.
"What are you waiting for?"
Immediately after the guard asked the question, Xuan gave death dagger glares, making the guard stumble backward and quickly apologize while stammering.
Sigh.
Xuan walked towards the wall. This was where he began looking for the gate. "What? No way these people would have known about the Odyssey's wall... Uncle Han, you brat," Xuan muttered.
In his world, walls without gates could only be passed by humans. This made the city's defense very efficient because monsters couldn't pass through or destroy the Odyssey's wall.
So Xuan just approached the brick wall and walked past it like a knife slicing through butter. The moment he walked through, one of the guards made a phone call and informed Mr. Lan that Xuan was a human.
Meanwhile, Xuan stood looking at the vast, deserted, dry land. This was the outskirts of the city, and he was the only one around.
This place was filled with dried ground and little projecting rocks here and there, along with the bones of a deceased monster.
Xuan saw a car to his left, with a beautiful woman maintaining her nails with a sharp knife. She had purple hair and pink eyes and wore all black.
Judging by how beautiful she appeared, Xuan could tell she was a dual cultivator.
"Are you Xuan Chen from Mr. Lan's guild?" she asked, not bothering to look at Xuan who was standing right in front of her.
Immediately after she raised her head to look at Xuan, her heart skipped. Only one single thought began dancing around her head.
"He's beautiful. Why do I think he's so beautiful?" Her cheeks flushed red, and she just kept looking at Xuan.
