Zhen Hu left with more than ten flying shuttles of the Starry Sky Pill Sect.
When he left, he looked at Chen Xia with reluctance, stroking the half pellet of elixir in his arms. He had the urge to cry and wanted to directly invite Chen Xia to join the Starry Sky Pill Sect.
His father had never treated him so well before. Giving away half a pellet of elixir as a reward, if this was just a kind stranger's goodwill, Chen Xia's kindness had already filled him up.
But Zhen Hu didn't take it for nothing either. He was still very sensible and couldn't just take it for free when Chen Xia said he was rewarding him.
So Zhen Hu specifically took 50,000 Spirit Stones to give to Chen Xia as a token of respect and gratitude.
Just saying the word "gratitude" made him feel like he had already won big time.
Chen Xia did not refuse and accepted everything. He told Zhen Hu to come find him in the future if he wanted to refine any pills, and they would split according to the 80-20 ratio they had agreed upon.
Zhen Hu was all smiles and quickly agreed.
Bai Jie, who was standing on the side, was also smiling along.
Chen Xia glanced at him and suddenly beckoned, "Come over here."
"Yes sir, dad." Bai Jie did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly came forward.
"Won't your real dad be upset if he finds out?" Chen Xia curiously asked.
"My real dad died early. I grew up eating from a hundred families. Now you are my real dad." Bai Jie quickly replied, afraid that this big backer Chen Xia would run away.
Chen Xia neither agreed nor disagreed, and continued, "Anyway, you helped lead my way, so you deserve some credit and hard work. I don't have many good pills on me now, so I'll give you a top grade Spirit Medicine."
Bai Jie hurriedly nodded, "Thank you, dad."
Although the top grade Spirit Medicine was far from half a pellet of elixir, it was still pretty good, worth a big few thousand Spirit Stones.
It was quite fitting for a guardian in the Seventh Layer of the Chaotic Sea Realm to receive a top grade Spirit Medicine when sect masters at the Third Stage of the Heaven Mending Realm could get half a pellet of elixir.
"Here." Chen Xia reached out and took out a green pellet, handed it to Bai Jie.
Bai Jie quickly took it and looked at it carefully. His pupils shone with light.
A top grade Spirit Medicine of excellent quality, the Life Giving Pill, could fetch a high price of 8,000 Spirit Stones. It was extremely good.
He looked delighted and was about to bow in gratitude.
But Chen Xia's hand reached out again.
There's more?!
Bai Jie looked excited and quickly took it for another look.
The Crimson White Fire Pill worth 7,000 Spirit Stones.
Added together, that was already 15,000 Spirit Stones. Not a small gift at all.
Chen Xia fumbled again and handed over all five of the golden pills he had refined earlier to Bai Jie.
Zhen Hu frowned as he watched from the side.
Were top grade Spirit Medicines so worthless?
Was Chen Xia too amazing, or was he outdated?
"There are some more here, take them all with you. These were refined before, I don't really like them. There are also some here, just a few coins, take them to play with."
Chen Xia rummaged through himself and took out more than a dozen top grade Spirit Medicines, giving them all to Bai Jie.
Bai Jie held the top grade Spirit Medicines in both hands. His gaze looking at Chen Xia was no longer hot, but had turned devout.
"That's all, nothing too precious, just small gifts." Chen Xia said casually with a wave of his hand.
His main approach was to win people over with gifts.
Bai Jie moved his lips but did not make a sound. His face showed joy and devotion, shouting clearly,
"Master!"
It seemed Chen Xia sneezed. He knew a pathetic thick wall had been erected between him and Bai Jie.
Fortunately he was on this side of the wall.
Zhen Hu and Bai Jie left afterwards. Both had a particularly respectful attitude towards Chen Xia.
The surrounding cultivators did not get to watch the excitement and were somewhat disappointed. But they were more curious about the matter of more than ten flying shuttles, asking around but unable to get any news.
Nothing happened in the days after. Big Yellow Dog spaced out more and more, sometimes spacing out for hours a day, just sitting there with his eyes open not saying anything.
Once Chen Xia sat next to Big Yellow Dog and vaguely heard him mutter.
"Vast."
He didn't know what Vast meant, but he could ask.
Yet no one knew, including the sect master Zhen Hu of the Starry Sky Pill Sect. Mainly because there was too much about Vast in the realm, impossible to determine.
Chen Xia wanted all the information about Vast. He looked at them one by one.
He did receive information. Even a Yuan Ying realm cultivator called Vast at the bottom level was recorded.
Chen Xia also went to take a look. He could only say this Yuan Ying realm cultivator was completely unrelated to the Vast in Big Yellow Dog's mouth.
After that, there were also medicinal ingredients, fruits, and techniques that started with Vast.
Chen Xia didn't find any clues.
Zhang DaoMing accompanied Chen Xia to search as well, and said, "Big Yellow Dog is probably the reincarnation of some powerful being."
"Mm." Chen Xia knew about this. Qiong Qi, Third Elder, and Old Man Fishing had all mentioned it before.
Would that powerful being be related to Vast?
Chen Xia didn't really know. He had seen all the information about the cultivator Vast in the realm, but the highest realm was only Chaotic Sea Realm, far from any powerful being.
However, this information was only within the realm. It was possible that Big Yellow Dog was an existence from outside the realm, so there were no records.
Chen Xia then asked Zhen Hu to send people across the Star Gates to investigate. As long as there was a bit of information, he would refine a pellet of medicine.
Zhen Hu was naturally happy to agree. People from the Starry Sky Pill Sect went out one after another, and came back with some information from time to time, but none was what Chen Xia wanted.
Until the 50th year.
A piece of information reached Chen Xia's ears.
Vast Boundless Quasi-Emperor!
Cultivated from the Vast Boundless Divine Body, an unparalleled powerhouse in the early Great Heavens, once claimed to be second only to the Great Emperor, with invincible might, severed two starry rivers.
Later, unwilling to just perish because of failing to become the Great Emperor, he disappeared in the river of time, whereabouts unknown.
This was the information about the Vast Boundless Quasi-Emperor, very simple and without much explanation.
But Chen Xia's gaze at Big Yellow Dog became clear, because the described experiences aligned perfectly with Big Yellow Dog's.
He then started looking for more information about the Vast Boundless Quasi-Emperor, even offering half a pellet of elixir as a reward.
But there was no useful information.
Zhen Hu also had no way and shook his head, "Brother, the Vast Boundless Quasi-Emperor was a figure from several Great Worlds ago. There is really little information left. Perhaps only those old monsters who have lived two Great Worlds would know something."
"Mm." Chen Xia nodded.
He also had no way.
Big Yellow Dog now spaced out more and more, sometimes spacing out for half a day at a time, unable to stop.
Zhang DaoMing just looked after him at home and didn't go out drinking either, seeming to have quit drinking, or maybe he never had a drinking problem to begin with.
Until one sunny morning.
Chen Xia called to the awake Big Yellow Dog to come play chess, and had set up the chessboard in advance, chuckling, "Let's have an intense game?"
"Let's go." Big Yellow Dog grinned and plopped down on the chessboard.
Chen Xia also sat down and followed the pattern of thousands of years. He picked up the cannon, jumped over the soldier, and ate the horse, then laughed and said,
"Your horse is gone."
But this time there was no response.
He looked up.
Big Yellow Dog had already closed his eyes and fallen fast asleep.
Everyone give gifts and continue with 3 chapters tomorrow, released an hour earlier.

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ...

While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
