“If there are difficulties, then it’s not entirely impossible. Director, you might as well tell me about the difficulties.”

Yi Shuihan was much calmer than Qingfeng. He sensed the underlying meaning in Director Tie's words. Of course, the reason he was able to remain so calm was partly because Qingfeng wasn't his closest person. If it were his wife, he probably wouldn't be able to stay calm either.

Upon hearing Yi Shuihan's words, Director Tie immediately lost his previous embarrassment. He first glanced at Yi Shuihan in surprise, then at Qingfeng, who had regained some hope from despair. He nodded to himself, thinking that if he were in Yi Shuihan's situation, he wouldn't go to such lengths to help someone who had only recently become a friend. Yi Shuihan is such a righteous young man!

"If it were you, our company would be willing to help you find someone and offer a reward. This is a benefit for a genius like you. If it were him, the company wouldn't offer a reward. At most, we would help you contact a royal physician who can treat you. Whether the physician is willing to treat you or not is beyond our control."

"Isn't there a top-tier healer in the company?"

"Yes, there are. There's more than one person who can treat his injuries, but their prices are too high. If you want to find them, the price you'll pay could be several times that of an outsider."

"We are also members of the company, isn't what they're doing wrong?"

"You misunderstood. They charge higher prices to outsiders, and they gave you a 50% discount to your internal staff, but even so, it's still more expensive than outsiders."

Before Yi Shuihan could even ask, Elder Tie explained the reason: it was simply because of the company's prestigious reputation that others trusted the company's leaders and were worried about being scammed by outsiders!

Cases like Yi Shuihan's have happened before within the company, quite a few in fact. Most of the time, they end up seeking treatment from external specialists; they only turn to the company's specialists as a last resort.

This fact left Yi Shuihan speechless, and in the end, he had no choice but to ask Elder Tie to help him find the non-company emperor.

Director Tie was very efficient; he found the person in just one year, but they had to meet him outside.

A year is a very short time in the vast universe where time spans tens of thousands of years, so it's safe to say that Director Tie definitely took this matter to heart.

"Whether it succeeds or not, I owe the director a favor this time. If you need anything, just come to me for help."

"Of course, we're all company employees!"

Although that's what he said, it's clear that Director Tie was quite satisfied with Yi Shuihan's statement. Given his status as a Chaos Emperor, he wouldn't have been so accommodating if it weren't for Yi Shuihan's truly astonishing talent. The battle results reported from the Demon Nest suggest that Yi Shuihan has a high chance of breaking through to the Chaos Emperor level, and even if he doesn't, he can still repay this favor.

Chapter 1277, Emperor Tuoba

As long as Yi Shuihan is at the Myriad Realms United University, if Director Tie gets into trouble, he can ask Yi Shuihan for help. For a long time to come, he won't have to worry about the company being overshadowed at the Myriad Realms United University.

If Yi Shuihan could break through to the Chaos Emperor realm in a short time, that would be even better. In the future, Director Tie would have a real connection with a Chaos Emperor. Moreover, since he is the director stationed at the school, he would also have a share in the credit for Yi Shuihan's breakthrough, and the company would also give him a certain reward.

Following Director Tie, Yi Shuihan and his group arrived at a very strange planet. Why is it a strange planet? Because the environment on this planet is very special. You can see spring, summer, autumn and winter at a glance. A very small area is a combination of various environments.

Can you imagine a situation where there is a desert on one side and a subtropical rainforest on the other, which are less than ten meters apart?

One step you're in the snow, the next you're in the midst of a volcano—it's even stranger than the Grand Line in One Piece.

What surprised Yi Shuihan even more was that spiritual herbs were everywhere on this planet. Even a weed was hundreds of thousands of years old, and spiritual herbs that were hundreds of millions of years old were as common as cabbages. This place was simply a paradise for cultivators.

"This precious star was specially cultivated by that emperor. Besides needing spiritual herbs, he also wanted to comprehend the Dao of Life. Any emperor who specializes in cultivating the Dao of Life will create a precious star for himself, and some will even create a precious realm, a realm full of spiritual herbs. Can you imagine what that scene would be like?"

Director Tie explained to Yi Shuihan that this was also a way to pass the time.

The value of this precious star would be at least a million in boundary points. Even he wouldn't dare to do that, not because he couldn't afford it, but because it was unnecessary. He wasn't cultivating the Dao of Life, so spending a lot of effort on this would be a complete waste.

A precious star is also very important to the Chaos Emperor, so he would definitely set up many restrictions. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Director Tie had contact with the other party, it could be detected even 100,000 light-years away from this precious star. Even if it came to the precious star, it would be completely impossible to detect its existence.

The Treasure Star is protected by a special array, which even a Chaos Emperor can only move around on foot. The space here is exceptionally stable and can fully support a battle between two Chaos Emperors. Of course, if a Chaos Emperor is prepared, it is not impossible for him to destroy the Treasure Star.

The fact that Yi Shuihan and his group could walk so easily on Baoxing without any danger was entirely due to their master's deliberate actions.

After walking for half a day, Yi Shuihan and his group arrived at a small courtyard. The scenery here was beautiful, like a paradise. The courtyard was also very well integrated with the environment, and it was clear that a reclusive master lived here.

The hermit's thoughts completely disappeared when Yi Shuihan met the real person. Have you ever seen a hermit who only wears underwear?

"Tuoba, my old buddy is here! This is the guest I brought for you. For the sake of our long-standing friendship, you have to help me out this time!"

As soon as Director Tie entered the room, he started shouting loudly. It was clear that he was very familiar with the other person, and he completely ignored the other person's almost naked attire.

Compared to Director Tie, the Chaos Emperor named Tuoba was not so enthusiastic. He had a serious expression and only nodded slightly when Director Tie arrived. When he saw Yi Shuihan and Qingfeng, he scrutinized them with a critical look.

To be honest, even if the other party was a Chaos Emperor, dressed like that and looking at him with such an easily misunderstood gaze, Yi Shuihan had an urge to drag him out and beat him up.

Am I handsome?

Suddenly, Tuoba struck a pose flexing his muscles and asked Yi Shuihan.

Director Tie's expression changed slightly, and he opened his mouth to remind him, but Tuoba glared at him fiercely, leaving Director Tie to frantically exchange glances with Yi Shuihan.

"Oh no, I completely forgot about his habit of asking strangers this question. If the answer isn't cool, my impression of him will plummet. It's not impossible to make up for it, but it's definitely not easy. Back in the day, I..."

Director Tie has no way to speak directly to Yi Shuihan right now. He can only hope that Yi Shuihan understands his meaning. It's not that he deliberately didn't tell Yi Shuihan about this. It's just that Tuoba seemed to have changed his ways a few times before and didn't ask any questions. So he put this matter deep in his memory. Who knew that Tuoba would change his ways again now!

Yi Shuihan wasn't stupid, so he naturally understood Director Tie's look. He suppressed his disgust and answered, "Handsome."

Tuoba shifted his gaze from Yi Shuihan and asked Qingfeng the same question.

Yi Shuihan originally thought that Qingfeng would just answer "handsome" like him and that would be it, but who knew...

"How can the word 'handsome' even begin to describe someone as dashing, tall, imposing, and incredibly intelligent as you! In my eyes, you are the most perfect being in all the worlds, without exception."

The image of honesty and reliability that Yi Shuihan had in mind instantly collapsed. How many times had he used such skillful flattery?

Qingfeng was unaware of Yi Shuihan's thoughts. If he had known, he would have definitely refuted them. This was not his true nature. However, he had seen a similar situation before and remembered what that person said. He hadn't originally planned to use it, but he had just used it out of a sudden inspiration.

Now, looking at Tuoba's expression of being a teachable child, and with his eyes revealing complete approval, it's clear that Qingfeng made the right move.

"Don't speak such blunt truths! Don't do that again!"

Tuoba feigned criticism, then continued...

"You're a good kid. Make yourself at home here, don't be shy."

Tuoba ignored Yi Shuihan and didn't say another word to her.

Tuoba swayed his waist and turned to walk inside. As he walked, his only pair of underwear slowly slipped down until it fell to the ground completely, much to Yi Shuihan's astonishment.

Tuoba was certainly not unaware of all this, because Yi Shuihan could hear Tuoba muttering to himself, "Still so straightforward. If it weren't for meeting guests, I wouldn't be wearing this! To comprehend the great Dao of life, one must return to nature. Hmm, never mind, I'll just leave it at that!"

Yi Shuihan pointed at Tuoba and gave Director Tie a questioning look, implying that this was the so-called Chaos Emperor. Director Tie shrugged and gave her a helpless look.

Chapter 1278, Director Tie's Reminder

We arrived at a very spacious room. Why do I say very spacious? Because there was nothing inside, so it looked very spacious.

Tuoba lay lazily on the ground, looking completely absorbed in the moment.

"You can sit anywhere, it's all the same."

It is indeed the same, because there is nothing anywhere.

Director Tie had anticipated this, so he took out a chair from his storage space and sat down naturally. It was quite peculiar that a Chaos Emperor carried a chair with him.

Yi Shuihan was no less capable than Director Tie; his portable world was no joke, containing everything imaginable, with everyday items being a piece of cake.

Yi Shuihan took out a sofa and sat down, only to see Qingfeng staring at him dumbfounded. Just as Yi Shuihan was about to take out another sofa, he saw Qingfeng lying on the ground like Tuoba.

"You're quite perceptive, kid. You know that this is the only way to better understand the way of life. The other two don't understand at all and are wasting such a good environment."

Tuoba's words made Yi Shuihan's lips twitch, but he also gave up the idea of ​​getting a sofa for Qingfeng. Maybe it's better this way!

"Which of them needs treatment?"

"Can't you see it?"

“I think both of them need treatment. The one here needs treatment for his physical condition, while you and he need treatment for your mental condition.”

Tuoba said matter-of-factly, completely regarding Yi Shuihan and Director Tie as people with mental health issues.

If they didn't need something from Tuoba, probably no one would want to say much to him.

"We don't need to, you just need to treat the one next to you."

"Please take a look at my injury..."

Qingfeng looked at Tuoba with trepidation, afraid that the other party would say something like "no treatment" or "it can't be cured."

"This minor injury is no problem at all. As long as I take care of it myself, I guarantee it will be foolproof."

Tuoba glanced at Qingfeng's severed arm, then felt the demonic power at the severed arm with his hand, indicating that this was no challenge for him.

It's good news that it can be cured, but we can't be completely at ease. The real issue is what conditions are required for treatment.

"Let's keep things separate. Although I admire you, the treatment costs still can't be reduced. How about 1?"

"Why don't you just rob me? 1 Boundary Points. If you were to make a move, this injury would only take a few days to heal. But you want 1 Boundary Points? We've been friends for a long time. How about we just symbolically take 1 Boundary Points?"

Before Tuoba could speak, Director Tie started shouting, looking exactly like someone who had been ripped off in business and was now haggling over the price.

"If you can cure it, you can come yourself. My fee is already very low."

Tuoba spoke calmly. As a Chaos Emperor, a fee of 10,000 boundary points was not particularly expensive. He had indeed shown mercy.

The claim that treating his injuries was simple for him and not worth charging 1 Boundary Points in just a few days is even more untenable. If that were the case, then a Great Dao Emperor could heal such injuries in an instant, and wouldn't he not even need to charge a fee?

10,000 boundary points were not a completely hopeless number for Tuoba. At his peak, he had more than 10,000 boundary points. But now, he only had a little over 2,000 boundary points. He had used the rest to enhance his strength. After all, boundary points were useless just sitting there. The best way was to convert them into his own strength.

Looking at Yi Shuihan with pleading eyes, Qingfeng opened his mouth and then closed it again. He found it difficult to speak, after all, the nearly eight thousand boundary points he wanted to borrow from Yi Shuihan were not a small number.

"Could you lend me 7981 points? I'll pay you back later. Interest is fine too."

Finally, Qingfeng spoke up, his face turning bright red, clearly embarrassed.

"Of course, forget about the interest. You can pay me back when you have the money."

If Qingfeng doesn't ask for help, Yi Shuihan might still help him pay the fees. However, once Qingfeng's treatment is complete, they will be even, and Yi Shuihan will have to treat him like a stranger.

Yi Shuihan's help to Qingfeng was a favor, not his responsibility. If Qingfeng still doesn't realize this and thinks that Yi Shuihan should owe him something, then Qingfeng himself has a problem and is not worth Yi Shuihan's efforts for.

Ten thousand boundary points is a considerable sum even with Yi Shuihan's current wealth. Although he is certain that this number will become relatively small once he becomes the Chaos Emperor, it is still not something he should pay for in this way.

Qingfeng took the initiative to speak, saying that it might take him millions of years to repay this debt, while Yi Shuihan would become a Chaos Emperor before Qingfeng could repay it, and might be able to get rid of the debt then.

At that time, Qingfeng could use the excuse of paying off his debts to get closer to Yi Shuihan, which would be a huge profit for him. Qingfeng, who was in a heavy mood at the moment, was unaware of this.

"You seem to have quite a few boundaries!"

Tuoba looked at Yi Shuihan in surprise. He had originally thought that Director Tie might have to cover the cost of this boundary point, since Director Tie was the one who brought the person.

"Not many, really not many."

Tuoba's gaze was a bit strange, which startled Yi Shuihan, who quickly said that he didn't want to be targeted by Tuoba.

"Don't even think about him, or I won't speak up for you when he comes for revenge. Even now, he can still cause you some trouble."

Director Tie spoke up from the side, which was considered a reminder to Tuoba.

"Revenge? Him!"

This time, Tuoba was genuinely surprised. Director Tie didn't seem to be joking, which meant that in his opinion, Yi Shuihan really had the strength to take revenge. This was unexpected for Tuoba, since Yi Shuihan was a True Saint. To take revenge, one had to be a Chaos Emperor, and not just a Chaos Emperor who had barely broken through. Tuoba was considered to be doing relatively well among Chaos Emperors, and ordinary Chaos Emperors couldn't do anything to him.

"So, this little guy's talent is really so amazing that even you are astonished?"

Tuoba asked with his eyes and received an accurate answer, which instantly elevated Yi Shuihan's status in his mind. If Yi Shuihan was just a passerby in his eyes before, and he could even decide whether to pay attention to her based on his mood, now Yi Shuihan was worthy of his attention.

Chapter 1279, Reencounter with Ling'er

Yi Shuihan's status in Tuoba's heart has risen, and Tuoba has even guessed that Director Tie brought Qingfeng here because of Yi Shuihan.

Having cultivated to the level of a Chaos Emperor, Tuoba was definitely not stupid; he deduced a great deal of information from just one sentence.

Even so, Tuoba was not particularly enthusiastic towards Yi Shuihan; he simply acted a little more normally. He had his own pride and would not fawn over a True Saint just because Yi Shuihan was talented.

With the boundary points he gained on the demon battlefield, plus what he already had, Yi Shuihan currently possesses over 30,000 boundary points.

In the end, they turned the tide, killed a demon that was essentially a Chaos Emperor, and together with the Phoenix Army Lord, killed a real demon. In addition, they slaughtered many premature demons, and obtained about 20,000 boundary points, which was not a lot, but rather a little.

Of course, many of the rewards are physical items, not points, so Yi Shuihan actually received more.

Yi Shuihan's current wealth is considered extremely high even among True Saints, though it can't compare to that of a Chaos Emperor.

First, a boundary is established before treatment. Once in a treatment state, Tuoba seems to become a different person, extremely serious and giving people a great sense of security.

A few days later, Qingfeng's arm grew back, the demonic power was completely removed, and he showed no signs of his previous weakness.

Tuoba didn't keep Yi Shuihan and the others, so naturally Yi Shuihan and the others couldn't stay on this precious star any longer. Speaking of which, this precious star is really good. Yi Shuihan feels that cultivating here is much faster than on his own King's Peak.

They returned to school together, and then went about their own business. Qingfeng went to take on a mission to pay off his debts, and Yi Shuihan also took on a mission, but the two did not go together.

This trip, including a visit to the Demon Battlefield, wasn't enough to hone Yi Shuihan's skills. Combat is the best way to improve his strength and foundation. Yi Shuihan plans to spend a considerable amount of time training in combat, which for him means more than ten thousand years. Of course, for his fellow True Saints, this amount of time is nothing.

By accepting missions at school and then going out to complete them, Yi Shuihan can be said to have truly entered the myriad realms and witnessed all sorts of wonders.

In a world called Sora, all life is made of water, and the way to fight is by merging. Whoever wins can merge with other individuals to become a larger volume of water.

In a world called Ras, where everything is decided by games, even getting married requires winning a game against a girl.

In a world called the Tree Realm, there lives a group of magical trees that do not photosynthesize, but instead exhibit the Patau effect. They exhibit reverse growth, starting at their largest size, gradually shrinking over time, and eventually disappearing as seeds.
