He slowly walked around the courtyard, thinking deeply, and finally remembered that when he turned around, Qin Bo had glimpsed the courtyard wall, and his mood suddenly became unstable.
Reaching the wall, Xu Yunfan slowly squatted down, and with both hands, he used force to dig away the broken blue bricks on the ground one by one.
When he saw the soil below, his brows raised slightly. As a minor mining expert, he could tell at a glance that this soil was much fresher than the surrounding soil, showing obvious signs of disturbance.
It was just buried a long time ago, in a state of half-newness, perhaps three years ago. Although it had been treated, it was too rough for him.
Xu Yunfan turned around, quickly found a cattail, and began digging.
Thanks to the special effects of the minor mining expert, the cattail cut into the soil as easily as tofu, quickly digging a hole.
"Ding!"
A crisp sound echoed as the falling catapult struck a hard object.
Xu Yunfan's heart fluttered, a surge of anticipation rising in him. If Qin Bo valued this item so highly, it might be some secret manual of divine power or some rare treasure. He reached out and pulled a metal box from the dirt.
He eagerly opened the box, and upon seeing the contents, his expression instantly became a complex blend of shock, confusion, and disbelief.
"What the hell?!"
Half an hour later, Qin Bo slowly regained consciousness.
He tried to move, but found his hands and feet securely bound by iron chains. No matter how hard he struggled, the chains wouldn't budge.
"Is this yours?"
Xu Yunfan's voice, tinged with an eerie tinge, reached Qin Bo's ears.
Looking up, Qin Bo saw a clear glass bottle at Xu Yunfan's feet, soaked in something incredibly strange.
"Give it back to me!!"
Qin Bo's eyes bulged with bloodshot, his body twisting wildly, veins bulging like wriggling earthworms. The incredible force he unleashed made even the chains on his body sizzle.
"It's really yours?!"
Seeing Qin Bo's reaction, Xu Yunfan's face was filled with wonder. He finally understood why Qin Bo was so obsessed with returning to the ancestral home, why he'd collapsed at the sight of the shattered bricks and even stabbed him with a knife, leaving a small cut on his waist.
Although the blood had dried and was about to scab over if left untreated,
it still left a psychological scar.
If the other party had wielded a bladed weapon and stabbed him like that, he would have been completely defeated.
This gave him a sense of urgency. He needed to accelerate his cultivation to perfection. Perhaps he could even find a more advanced Heng Lian Zheng Gong that would make him fearless against bladed weapons.
As for the glass bottle, soaking in the small, severed object, it was the most precious thing to a man...
The moment Xu Yunfan understood, his expression was so intense that he nearly threw the bottle.
He gently nudged the bottle with his foot, causing the liquid inside to sway, and the soaked object to sway with it.
"Where did you get this glass bottle?"
Although he had spent most of his time these days focusing on improving his proficiency, he had also been out and about.
The windows of all the buildings in the city were made of paper, and this glass bottle, resembling glass, was a new sight.
"Don't touch it! If you do, I'll kill you!!! You bastard, if you can spare me, let's fight!"
Qin Bo, provoked by this, roared wildly, cursing Xu Yunfan non-stop.
Xu Yunfan ignored him and pulled a yellowed book from a box.
When he opened the book earlier, the contents had stunned him.
Qin Bo, this fellow, had attempted to sever the ties, conducting frantic experiments. His records detailed nearly a hundred human experiments.
This meant that Qin Bo had murdered at least a hundred people over the past few years.
Subjects ranged in age from eight-year-olds to eighty-year-olds, with no one spared.
As Xu Yunfan flipped through these bloody records, a chill shot from his feet to his head, his heart icing.
He had always thought his mind had become cold enough since his time traveling, but compared to the ruthless Qin Bo before him, he was nothing more than a kindhearted child. Xu
Yunfan slowly closed the experimental records in his hands
, looking at Qin Bo with a mixture of pity and disgust. Qin Bo's expression contorted under Xu Yunfan's gaze.
"You are not allowed to look at me like that. You are absolutely not allowed to look at me like that. Why are you rummaging through my things? Why?!"
Xu Yunfan sighed helplessly. "Brother, I don't blame you for wanting to learn the Wheel King. Just tell me. I'm not denying you. Why are you hiding it so tightly? I thought it was something extraordinary. Why do you have to harbor such an inexplicable grudge over it?"
What grudge?
He really doesn't discriminate against eunuchs.
Qin Bo calmed down a little at this moment. He stared at Xu Yunfan intently, his eyes bloodshot and red.
Although he didn't know what the Wheel King Xu Yunfan was talking about, Qin Bo naturally knew that it was definitely not a good thing. But he must not let go of anyone who knew about his thing.
Seeing Qin Bo's expression, Xu Yunfan's expression also turned cold. He knew in his heart that the man in front of him was extremely extreme and there was no way he could persuade him no matter what.
He said calmly, "Sir, why bother being a eunuch? At a later stage in the martial arts, with the ability to transform from a human to a being, even rebirth is a piece of cake."
The image of Li Haomiao's regenerated hands and feet still awed him.
Human power could achieve such a feat.
It was beyond imagination.
Qin Bo's defenses nearly snapped again at this. He stared intently at Xu Yunfan and suddenly sneered.
"The ability to transform from a human to a being, do you think it's so easy to achieve? You train your muscles, bones, and skin, integrating the three elements. From the outside, you train your flesh, blood, marrow, and qi. There are eight realms in the martial arts, starting with the flesh realm, each one a new level. To achieve the ability to transform from a human to a being requires a Grandmaster of Qi training. How many people in the world can achieve it so easily?"
As if sensing that Xu Yunfan had seen his deepest secrets, Qin Bo simply stopped trying to hide them.
He said in a low voice, "I was raised by a eunuch in the palace. This eunuch had three adopted sons. He said one of them could enter the palace, but he would have to undergo a castration. When the three of us drew lots, whoever had the longest would undergo the castration and go to the palace. I clearly marked it and drew the shortest one, but that damned eunuch forced me into the castration. When he was about to be sent to the palace, he had a stroke halfway through and died."
Qin Bo raised his head, a look of laughter and tears on his face.
"Dead midway, with no way out, I don't care if you're clean or not, or where you came from, I'm naturally unwilling to accept it. Since there are ancient legends of immortals who can restore youth with their dew, I naturally wanted to do it, but in the end, it's all in vain!"
