The way he addressed me as "senior uncle" suggests he's been bribed, but it doesn't matter, it's just a title.

After sending his three disciples aside.

Then he said, "Speaking of which, how did you end up in Southern Xinjiang? And who is this gentleman?"

Junlin replied unhurriedly, "This is Eryan, your sister-in-law. I came to the Southern Frontier this time to rescue her brother."

After glancing at Luo Jie, Er Yan said, "This kid has some remnants of his original essence on him."

Junlin nodded. "Yes, I know. The original essence you left behind was divided into two parts by the leader of the Church of Calamity, and he ate one of them."

Er Yan curled his lips, "That wasn't left by me. It should have been a gift I gave to their ancestors, and they passed it down. The demon heart in your hand and the one on this kid combined don't even amount to one."

She felt she needed to explain; she wasn't that petty.

Moreover, she was suddenly targeted by those martial arts immortals when she was repairing the continent, so she didn't have time to prepare any backup plans.

Upon hearing this, Junlin was taken aback.

So what Luo Jie ate was not only not the complete demon heart, but even just a bit of the original residue.

That makes sense. If Luo Jie, with his cultivation level at the time, had consumed a complete portion of the Origin Source, he probably would have been bursting from the suffocation.

Luo Jie listened to the conversation between E Yan and Jun Lin, feeling puzzled.

He could understand, but only a little.

He quickly said, "Stop! What are you talking about? Is there something wrong with the heart I ate?"

Junlin patted Luo Jie on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, there's nothing serious. It's just that I only realized now that the demon heart you ate was of very poor quality."

Luo Jie: "..."

Is the quality very poor?

Even with such poor quality, he still gained so many benefits. If the quality were excellent, wouldn't he have taken off like a rocket?
