Zhou Xingdou finally snapped out of his daze from the system panel, an extreme greed rising within him. Looking at You Ji's graceful figure, he still maintained a calm expression and said:

"Elder You, you misunderstand. I was just lost in thought when I was thinking about some past events. Please forgive me."

You Ji naturally didn't believe it, but she couldn't expose Zhou Xingdou either. She simply twisted her body to get within arm's reach of Zhou Xingdou and said coquettishly:

"I trust Zhou Daozi's character, but he mustn't forget me when he becomes the sect leader."

Zhou Xingdou naturally knew that this woman was trying to seduce him, but he also knew that she was not someone to be trifled with.

A top-grade cauldron, naturally alluring, she has remained virgin for many years. Even in her previous life, before her death, the chosen one Lin Fan failed to take her body, which shows that this woman's methods are not to be underestimated.

All of this is just a pretense, a bait-and-switch tactic. If she takes the bait, she'll probably get nothing and suffer significant losses.

Therefore, Zhou Xingdou does not want to get entangled with her for the time being. He has memories of the next twenty years and has ways to deal with her, but he will definitely not try to please her, You Ji.

However, he was determined to obtain this cauldron, but he could not use the same gentle method as he had with Yun Jinzhi.

After all, he still harbors a lot of hatred and wants to follow along and set fires to avenge it!

Zhou Xingdou turned to the side, his pair of strange silver eyes devoid of any emotion, and said calmly:

"Elder You, I have other matters to attend to. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

After saying this, Zhou Xingdou avoided You Ji's alluring body and walked straight towards the foot of Jiuxuan Peak.

It's not that Zhou Xingdou became averse to lust after awakening the Punishment Heaven Dao Body. If You Ji noticed Zhou Xingdou's index finger under his sleeve, she would have seen that the index finger was trembling and moving wildly.

However, at Jiuxuan Peak, his every move was under Tian Jiu'er's watchful eye, and he didn't want to lose Tian Jiu'er for the sake of temporary gain.

Stephen Chow can still distinguish between love and lust.

Moreover, the longer the wine is aged, the more fragrant it becomes. Although the wait is unpleasant, it makes the arrival of the wine even more joyful, so it's not a loss.

You Ji was not annoyed by Zhou Xingdou's evasive maneuver. Instead, as she watched Zhou Xingdou's retreating figure, she found it increasingly amusing.

"This little man is quite good at putting on airs, but I always feel that he doesn't have the same luck as Lin Fan. You probably won't be able to stay in this position of Dao Child for long."

Youji spoke with great confidence, because it was precisely because of her discerning eye that she had reached her current status.

Although she was curious about how Lin Fan could compare to Zhou Xingdou's immense strength and background, she didn't think she would make a mistake, because she knew that fate was predetermined and no one could change it.

But she probably never imagined that Zhou Xingdou was an anomaly, and no one could see through his fate. He had no destiny or fate, and if he did, it would surely burst her foxy eyes.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Xingdou had arrived at the residence of the true disciples. Each residence consisted of an independent and exquisite courtyard. Although they were not as magnificent and luxurious as palaces, they were still quite nice.

Zhou Xingdou also encountered several true disciples. He was well-liked within the peak, and almost everyone, whether a true disciple or a personal disciple, had benefited from his kindness.

These disciples all congratulated him with joyful expressions, and Stephen Chow responded with smiles and nods.

However, he didn't care too much, because these people wouldn't be of much use in the future, and they wouldn't have much of a presence even in the next twenty years.

They weren't exactly lucky people, nor were they particularly attractive women, so Zhou Xingdou naturally didn't need to waste his breath on them.

Now, holding the Nine Profound Token, he ignored the array in Lin Fan's courtyard and entered Lin Fan's residence.

Lin Fan has now exhausted all the spiritual herbs he has to suppress the backlash, and after nurturing his aura to its peak, he is once again attempting to break through to the Enlightenment Realm.

This was the fourth time he had come to this barrier that led to the opening of the acupoints. It must be said that after several visits, he had become extremely skilled at breaking through this barrier.

In just a short while, he has arrived at the most crucial final hurdle once again. Once he gets through, he will become a qualified cultivator!

Now that Zhou Xingdou has completed his awakening, the spiritual energy of Jiuxuan Peak will never be depleted again. This time, failure is absolutely impossible!

But just as the spiritual energy was about to pierce through that barrier, and Lin Fan had already shown a smile, the door to his room suddenly opened, and countless streams of air rushed in.

Suddenly, Lin Fan felt an overwhelming and terrifying aura. This aura rushed towards him like a raging torrent, and its perfect, flawless, and supreme feeling made him feel inferior at this moment.

In that moment of confusion, the barrier that he was about to break through suddenly closed, and his spiritual power, lacking strength, retreated like a tide.

Lin Fan wanted to laugh, but fortunately, he had already adapted to the backlash several times, so this time he didn't vomit blood. He just felt a sense of emptiness from overusing his spiritual power.

"Junior brother, it seems I've arrived at the wrong time."

As Zhou Xingdou watched Lin Fan's aura weaken in an instant, a sense of pleasure rose in his heart. With his level of cultivation, how could he not sense that Lin Fan was breaking through? Entering at this time was certainly not a coincidence.

Lin Fan, worthy of being called the Chosen One, showed no sign of anger. Instead, he rose to greet him with a happy expression:

"Senior Brother, you've arrived just in time. Please have a seat."

Although Stephen Chow did it on purpose, he still had to act, so he immediately beat his feet and pounded his chest, looking ashamed.

"I was too happy today, but I didn't expect that you were at the moment of breakthrough. In a moment of impulsiveness, I ruined your opportunity."

Zhou Xingdou's mention of it would have been better if he hadn't brought it up, as it nearly caused Lin Fan's suppressed anger to explode. His lips twitched a few times in resentment, before a very unpleasant smile appeared on his face.

"It's alright, I'm used to it. Senior brother's actions have helped me discover some shortcomings and consolidate my cultivation. I'm grateful enough."

"Junior brother, no need to thank me. I should be thanking you. Aunt Yun's cold poison has been completely cured, so you can rest assured."

Zhou Xingdou seized the opportunity, a playful look in his eyes. He probably didn't know that his junior brother's beautiful wife had already fallen into his hands, and he had even taken his personal maid as a dog.

Lin Fan was also momentarily stunned, wondering why Zhou Xingdou was thanking him, but upon hearing that his mother's cold poison had been cured, he still smiled from the bottom of his heart:

"Why should I thank you, senior brother? I should be the one thanking you, senior brother. But I have nothing of value to offer you as a token of my gratitude."

Looking at the bewildered Lin Fan, it was impossible for Zhou Xingdou not to be happy.

He really wanted to tell Lin Fan that Yun Jinzhi had already thanked him properly, but he knew that saying this would definitely arouse suspicion, so he could only continue to provoke Lin Fan by saying:

"You've improved; you're more eloquent now. You're right, your senior brother really doesn't appreciate your work."

These words immediately fueled Lin Fan's anger. He clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves, his fingernails digging into his flesh and drawing blood.
