Chu Qing found the outcome frustrating, but the half-sword’s actions had already provided the answer he was seeking. It wasn’t that this world couldn’t handle Tao runes; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to use his sword techniques.

The reason why the rusty sword had such a change was that the Tao runes of this time were slightly different from the cultivation world. It was because of this slight difference that the two Tao runes were incompatible.

Chu Qing speculated that the rusty sword’s origin might be linked to the origin of the cultivation world. Consequently, the Tao runes he cultivated could be seen as an evolution stemming from the same source as the cultivation world itself.

Now that he had come to this strange world, it was like a normal person running to a cannibal. He would either be assimilated by the cannibals or eaten by them.

The origin of the rusty sword was incredibly remarkable. Confronted with the primordial essence of this world, it refused to yield and chose to shatter instead. By severing the path of assimilation, the only option left was destruction.

What kind of world was this? Chu Qing’s worldview, which he had gradually adapted to, began to waver again. However, this problem could not be figured out now. Chu Qing put it aside first.

He had to protect the rusty sword no matter what. It seemed that it needed a scabbard. Chu Qing was too weak now and could not resist the origin of this world, so he could only hide the rusty sword first.

As long as the origin of this world could not discover the rusty sword, the two of them naturally would not conflict. Chu Qing did as he said and used a secret technique to fuse the rusty sword into his bloodline.

Sensing that the Tao runes of the rusty sword were no longer dissipating, Chu Qing heaved a sigh of relief. However, this was still a temporary measure and not a long-term solution. Chu Qing still had to survive in this world and use himself as a sheath. As his relationship with this world deepened, the karma became greater.

Sooner or later, the rusty sword would be discovered again, so he had to think of another way. Moreover, Chu Qing couldn’t hide the rusty sword in his blood and not use it, right? Most of his skills were on the sword.

With a plan in mind, Chu Qing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and grinned at the cracks in the wall. Then, he rummaged through the cabinets and found many old posters. He stuck them all over the wall and covered the cracks first. He would think about the rest in the future.

After putting up the poster, Chu Qing was already extremely tired. His eyelids were so heavy. He had overexerted himself with that sword. He couldn’t be bothered to tidy up his homework that was scattered all over the ground. Chu Qing fell asleep the moment he touched the bed.

The next morning, his father finished cooking. When he didn’t see Chu Qing, he pushed open his door and went to call him. He was stunned by the messy scene in the room. Chu Qing was sleeping too soundly. If his father hadn’t come to call him, Chu Qing would definitely have been late.

However, although Chu Qing was at a disadvantage last night, it was also a blessing in disguise. His father thought that he had pushed the child too hard, so Chu Qing vented his anger in this way.

Chu Qing’s father was unusually silent that morning, sparing him from close scrutiny of his room. Otherwise, he would have undoubtedly noticed the poorly concealed crack that Chu Qing had hidden. If that had happened, no matter how many explanations Chu Qing could come up with, it would likely be futile.

After dinner, Chu Qing casually packed up the homework that had fallen to the ground and rushed to school. He had to quickly catch up on sleep. His soul had been injured, so sleeping and meditating was undoubtedly the best way to recover.

If he remembered correctly, the World Treasures Auction House was holding an auction tonight. His few Spirit Stones would be auctioned tonight. He had to take a look.

He also owed Zhai Yu five million yuan. If he had the energy, he wanted to condense a few more Spirit Stones and sell them to repay his debt. Spirit Stones could be condensed endlessly as long as Chu Qing could cultivate them.

However, to a certain extent, this would still affect his cultivation progress. Therefore, in the cultivation world, other than those with a poor aptitude and exhausted potential, no one would do this. However, Chu Qing needed money too much, so he could only save him this way.

The day passed again. After school, Chu Qing realized that the way the form teacher looked at him was strange. Chu Qing smiled. He guessed that if he continued like this, the form teacher would have to talk to his parents. Chu Qing didn’t want his father to meet the form teacher. Otherwise, there would definitely be no peace in the future.

I can’t sleep in class again tomorrow.

Chu Qing hoped to avoid falling asleep in class again the next day, but deep down, he knew that his thoughts were destined to fail.

The auction was scheduled to begin at eight o’clock, and Chu Qing’s school ended at six o’clock, leaving him with a two-hour window to make it to the auction. However, being a student meant he also had to go home, which made the time constraints quite tight.

Moreover, from noon onwards, Zhai Yu would call Chu Qing every hour or two to remind him of this as if he was afraid that Chu Qing would miss the appointment.

It lasted until Chu Qing finished school. The frequency of calls had changed from two hours to half an hour. Chu Qing really didn’t know what to say about Zhai Yu.

After quickly finishing his dinner, Chu Qing was determined to accomplish his mission. Under the guise of studying, he locked himself in his room and closed the door. He dropped his bag, opened the window, and swiftly leaped out. All of these actions were executed seamlessly in one fluid motion..
