“Master, are you alright?!” Little Lion, who was hidden in the storage space, sensed Kong Rui’s abnormality and called out anxiously.

At this moment, Kong Rui had completely lost her mind and was controlled by the demonic energy.

Seeing this, Chao Bai cursed and went forward to help Kong Rui again.

At this moment, the wooden box hidden in Chao Bai’s storage space seemed to sense the attraction of Kong Rui’s demonic energy and kept trying to break through the restrictions.

Chao Bai was shocked. Seeing that the wooden box couldn’t be suppressed at all, he could only let it out.

The wooden box appeared in midair and the lid of the box opened. Inside, there were two pills, one black and one white.

Two pills, one black and one white, shot towards Kong Rui’s glabella.

In the next moment, Kong Rui’s body lit up.

Chao Bai couldn’t look at it directly. He could only take two steps back and block his eyes with his sleeve.

After a while, the light faded.

Chao Bai immediately rushed to Kong Rui’s side. He saw that her eyes were still closed. The strange color on her body had disappeared, and her face seemed to have become even rosier.

Chao Bai called Kong Rui’s name tentatively. After a long while, Kong Rui slowly opened her eyes.

“What do you think?” As Chao Bai looked at Kong Rui’s clear but emotionless eyes, he couldn’t help but feel worried.

Kong Rui seemed to have heard Chao Bai’s question, but she still didn’t look at him.

She blinked, then said, “I’m fine. It’s just—”

As Kong Rui spoke, she slowly raised her hands and looked at them carefully. Then, she looked down at her abdomen. After a while, she looked at Chao Bai in confusion. “I clearly felt something being produced when I absorbed the spiritual energy just now. But now, why is there nothing?” Kong Rui said with a tearful expression.

She clearly felt that she was already close to or even reaching the Earth Realm Level One.

The spiritual power bead in her body had already formed.

But now… there was nothing!

When Chao Bai heard Kong Rui’s words, he couldn’t help but be shocked.

Could it be that she cultivated both spiritual energy and demonic energy, which canceled out, so Kong Rui didn’t even have a cultivation level?

Thinking of this possibility, Chao Bai swallowed before continuing, “Try and see what your cultivation level is.”

Kong Rui frowned slightly and sensed it carefully. Then, she said dejectedly, “There’s no change.”

Hearing this, Chao Bai heaved a sigh of relief.

No change was the best!

If Kong Rui really lost all her cultivation, he would probably be beaten up by her!

However, the two pills just now clearly had very powerful demonic energy and spiritual energy. How could there be no change after they entered Kong Rui’s body?

The more Chao Bai thought about it, the more baffled he became. He turned back to look at the wooden box on the ground.

Kong Rui also noticed the wooden box. Seeing that it was empty, she couldn’t help but look at Chao Bai in confusion. “What’s going on?”

Chao Bai walked over and picked up the wooden box before handing it to Kong Rui. “When you couldn’t suppress the demonic energy just now, this box jumped out on its own. The two pills inside have already entered your body…” Chao Bai revealed.

Kong Rui looked at Chao Bai in shock. She didn’t expect the gift from Mr. Li to disappear so randomly!

However, Kong Rui didn’t expect him to give her anything good anyway. She just thought that thingds would be different since Chao Bai was so wary of this pill.

“Since it’s gone, forget it,” Kong Rui said, putting the wooden box away.

She was still interested in the carvings on the wooden box, so she wanted to stay and study it slowly.

Chao Bai helped Kong Rui up. Seeing that she seemed to be fine, he said, “Let’s go back. You still have a competition tomorrow.”

Hearing Chao Bai’s words, Kong Rui couldn’t help but sigh.

The entire night’s effort had been wasted. She could only hope that she would gain something from tomorrow’s competition!

Chao Bai grabbed Kong Rui’s waist again and changed spells a few times. Kong Rui resigned herself to fate and closed her eyes.

…

“What’s going on? I felt some fluctuations in the spiritual power in the residence just now.” The Patriarch walked out of the ancestral hall and asked the First Elder, who was walking over.

The First Elder also had a worried expression. “I came to look for you because of this.”

“Where’s the Second Elder?” The Patriarch looked at the other elders who had already walked over, but he didn’t see the Second Elder.
