By the time Jiang Yuan returned to the Chaoyuan Building, it was already dark. However, now that he had resolved the matter of the Soul-Snatching Arrow, he had no more worries.
According to his plan, once he retrieves the Insight, he can reawaken the Heavenly Eye. After that, once he activates the Supreme Core and the Divine Core, he can then lead the Soul-Stealing Arrow into the Pilgrimage Road.
Just as Jiang Yuan was about to start working overtime, he received a new email. It was from the company's AI system, so it must have been about his position.
"Who would email me so late?"
Jiang Yuan opened the email with some skepticism, only to discover that it was sent from the president's office. There was nothing extra in it, just an invitation, and the location was in an extraterrestrial space-time.
"Hiss, could Han Xia have messed things up?" Jiang Yuan had a bad feeling.
The president's office sent an invitation to go to the extraterrestrial world, which clearly shows that Liu Zhaodi was aware of it. And today, he happened to use his black gold card to have Han Xia invite the newly hired employees to go to the extraterrestrial world. What a coincidence that the president's office also invited him?
This is definitely targeted.
"It should be okay if I don't go, right?"
Jiang Yuan thought about it and decided that it was best to avoid the limelight. Liu Zhaodi had always been fearless. She dared to express her feelings for him in front of Ning Yanlan, so she dared to show affection in front of the Companion God. Therefore, to be on the safe side, he decided not to follow Liu Zhaodi's reckless behavior.
In the past two days, in addition to recovering his insights, he has also learned about the origin of the Dark Seal from various aspects. It is a secret method originating from ancient witchcraft, which uses darkness to taint the blood and marrow, causing the target to lose some of its regenerative abilities until it is completely shrouded in darkness and becomes a corpse.
The way to break the Dark Curse is to continuously refine blood. Although the differentiation and division of blood is unidirectional, genes are reversible. Blood can also be purified back to its source, which is the dark power in the blood marrow.
However, refining blood is not easy. First, it requires activating the blood's infinite proliferation ability to successfully replace part of the blood marrow. Then, it relies on new metabolism to gradually replace the polluted blood marrow. The whole process needs to be gradual and will take a long time. Even if Jiang Yuan has a hundred times the talent, he cannot complete the replacement overnight.
"I've been here for ten days, and it's only been a day and a half now, so my term should be almost over!"
Jiang Yuan had no choice. He had just broken through to the sixth stage of the True Spirit Realm and needed a long period of time to solidify his foundation, which was a hundred times stronger than that of a genius. Therefore, blood refining was the fastest way to remove the dark curse mark.
After locking the office door, he took out the Divine Bloodstone and began refining his blood. Using the Divine Bloodstone for blood refining was a bit extravagant, but Jiang Yuan was a tycoon, and the Divine Bloodstone could also increase blood activity, so it wasn't a waste. After all, the Divine Wood Canon and self-healing potential were no longer there, and his cell activity was far less than before. Otherwise, with his previous body, the Dark Curse Seal would have been gone in just a few days.
The Divine Bloodstone was gradually consumed, while red blood cells were continuously ignited, undergoing changes similar to cancer. However, this was not cancer, but rather the divine nature inherent in the Divine Bloodstone. As unlimited proliferation occurred, the red blood cells ignited by the Divine Bloodstone energy began to differentiate in reverse, continuously entering the blood marrow and expelling the blood marrow tainted by dark power.
During this process, foul blood was continuously discharged from Jiang Yuan's body, which then dripped onto the ground and corroded small holes.
At this moment, Jiang Yuan was suffering from the pain of blood refining, while Liu Zhaodi and others were already having a great time in the outer space. Jiang Yuan did not know that in addition to Liu Zhaodi, An Xiaoyu, Shi Xuyao, Lin Man and others were also present tonight.
"Zhao Di, didn't you say you were hosting a welcome dinner for an important friend today? Where is he?" An Xiaoyu's eyes kept glancing at the people present, but she still couldn't find the person she was looking for.
"Where else could he go? Someone must be refusing to give him face." Liu Zhaodi seemed to have already guessed that Jiang Yuan wouldn't come, so she didn't care at the moment.
"Teacher's wife..."
"Stop! How many times have I told you? We're friends now. If you keep yelling like that, I won't invite you guys out next time!"
Liu Zhaodi spoke before Shi Xuyao could finish his sentence, silencing him before he could finish.
"Yes, I told you before that we should each follow our own rules, and you still call her 'Teacher's Wife'!" Lin Man instantly turned into a fence-sitter and started criticizing Shi Xuyao, completely unaware that she had been calling him "Teacher's Wife" for the past hour.
“I…” Shi Xuyao was speechless on the spot.
"Alright, it's nothing really. It's just that we've all had a get-together every year before, but I haven't heard of any of you organizing one this year, so I'm treating you all to come and have some fun while our chamber of commerce is expanding its workforce!" Liu Zhaodi didn't seem to care too much about how she addressed her.
Those who survived from the south city hold a gathering every year, so Liu Zhaodi is not afraid that the organization of the Companion God will pay too much attention to them.
"We finally arrived on time!"
Before the group could finish speaking, a handsome young man arrived in a great hurry with a girl.
"Li Fei, you're not that old, but you're really something else! You always make us elders wait for you!" Shi Xuyao reached out and grabbed the handsome young man. This guy always arrived right on time for every gathering.
"Uncle Shi, don't bully Li Fei!" Meng Xin quickly went to rescue him.
Shi Xuyao then released Li Fei. He looked at the girl and sighed, "Our little Xin'er is getting more and more beautiful. I just wonder which rascal will end up with her!"
"Uncle, you can't keep finding ways to scold me! I'm an adult now, you can't lecture me like a brat anymore," Li Fei muttered.
