Chapter 36: Obito's Change of Heart

Although he did not know exactly what was going on, Jiang Wang generously paid the ten points.

The spirit stones Hu Liena had transmitted to him totaled a thousand points, while the cost of all the materials he used to refine the Tushan Fox Pills for her did not even amount to the value of two spirit stones. Spending an extra ten points was well within an acceptable range.

Nantianmen Guard: "@Spirit Hall Golden Generation, it has been sent. Take a look; the taste should be quite good."

Tushan fox blood itself is a rare and highly nourishing substance in this world, and the other ingredients in the Tushan Fox Pills are inherently delicious as well; their specific function is merely to neutralize the overbearing power of the fox blood. Therefore, the pill smelled wonderful and was sweet and tasty when consumed.

He had refined four Tushan Fox Pills in total. He gave one to Hu Liena, and Jiang Wang intended to keep the remaining three as snacks. To him, the Tushan Fox Pills offered no further cultivation benefits. As a Celestial Immortal, the pills truly had no use other than as a snack.

When Jiang Wang appeared in the Dimensional Chat Group, the previously quiet group immediately became lively.

Wasted Prophet: "Greetings, Great Immortal. We haven't seen you for several days."

Nantianmen Guard: "I had some matters to attend to these past few days, so I wasn't in the group."

Old Heavenly Master: "It is understandable, Great Immortal, as you are a busy person."

Snake Queen: "Phew, after all these days, I have finally paid off the points I owed the chat group."

Wasted Prophet: "You've paid yours off? I'm still short by over a hundred. Why are the points I get from daily check-ins so low? I refuse to accept this!"

Snake Queen: "That's because your luck is so poor."

Wasted Prophet: "I'm so envious of this Hu Liena. Why does she get 100 points every day? I'm not convinced."

Spirit Hall Golden Generation: "I suppose I'm just lucky, nothing I can do about that."

Snake Queen: "Lucky? You're not lucky; you're overdrawing your luck. Do you understand? The more you overdraw, the sooner you'll run into misfortune!"

Lin, My Lin: "Why do I only get ten or so points from daily check-ins?"

Wasted Prophet: "Because you didn't shout 'Long live the Great Immortal,' so your luck is terrible. Do you understand?"

Snake Luck: "+1. Shout for the Great Immortal a few more times, and your luck will improve."

Spirit Hall Golden Generation: "I can testify to that."

Lin, My Lin: "Really?"

Little Spider: "+2. I can testify to that as well."

Lin, My Lin: "Great Immortal, please don't take my previous disrespect to heart. I didn't mean it! Please forgive me."

Nantianmen Guard: "Hmm."

Jiang Wang held no grudge against Uchiha Obito. In the end, the boy had been driven to a breakdown by his own ancestor, all because he simply wanted to resurrect his girlfriend. However, it was true that he wasn't very bright. You are a normal person, yet you were deceived by your ancestor in every way—couldn't you have gone to your good friend Kakashi to ask for the truth? If you had asked, wouldn't everything have been resolved? Instead, he let the misunderstanding fester until the very end; there was truly no need for that. Just like now, the naive child was being led around in circles by the group members, unable to even find his way out.

Lin, My Lin: "I have already apologized to the Great Immortal. Will my luck improve from now on?"

Wasted Prophet: "Ahem, @Spirit Hall Golden Generation, quickly consume the immortal pill and let us see the effects."

Snake Queen: "Ahem, @Spirit Hall Golden Generation, quickly consume the immortal pill and let us see the effects."

Little Spider: "Yes, yes, consume it quickly. We are busy; eat it fast."

Old Heavenly Master: "What exactly are the effects of this immortal pill? Could you start a live stream?"

Mosquito's Natural Enemy: "Checking in, just got back from the supermarket."

Lin, My Lin: "Immortal pill? Was it bestowed by the Great Immortal?"

Jiang Wang did not know what kind of "education" Uchiha Obito had received from the others in the chat group after he left that day, but the boy had transformed from his initial arrogant and rebellious self into someone so communal. His personality shift was as if he had returned from the late stages of the Great Ninja War to the time of the Battle of Kannabi Bridge.

However, this was for the best. Jiang Wang had a very good temper, but no matter how good his temper was, as a Celestial Immortal, he could not allow people to provoke him indefinitely. If it went on for too long, where would his dignity as an immortal be? If an immortal cares about nothing else, they certainly care about their reputation. Even in the Heavenly Court, great deities and powerful gods rarely gave a cold shoulder to immortals of lower realms and cultivation.

In the chat group:

Spirit Hall Golden Generation: "Wait a moment, I'll go back to my residence first."

Snake Queen: "Hurry, we are in a rush."

Spirit Hall Golden Generation: "Don't be so anxious, it's not like you're the one eating it!"

Wasted Prophet: "Hurry up, don't go back; just eat it right there. The Pope of Spirit Hall is your master anyway, isn't Spirit Hall your home?"

Spirit Hall Golden Generation: "What are you thinking? My master cannot control the entirety of Spirit Hall."

Wasted Prophet: "Don't worry, it's only a matter of time before your master controls Spirit Hall. Hurry up, stop wasting time!"

Nantianmen Guard: "It is best to have someone protect you when consuming the Fox Pill. Your master would be a good choice."

Spirit Hall Golden Generation: "Ah? Should I let my master see me consume the Fox Pill?"

Nantianmen Guard: "Is that not possible?"

Spirit Hall Golden Generation: "I told my master that the immortal pill I sought from the Great Immortal was the Su Fox Immortal Pill, but I later changed my mind and didn't tell her."

Wasted Prophet: "Are you guarding against your master?"

Lin, My Lin: "One should indeed guard against those around them, even if they are masters or family."

Snake Queen: "Ha, our new member has quite an insight into this."

Lin, My Lin: "..."

Spirit Hall Golden Generation: "It's not about guarding against my master; my master is very important to me. I just don't want my master to be hurt by those people again!"

Wasted Prophet: "Then shouldn't you be even clearer with your master!"

Snake Queen: "That's right, you should explain it clearly. If you don't, and your master becomes suspicious of you, the consequences won't be good."

Spirit Hall Golden Generation: "My master is very suspicious by nature. I fear that the more clearly I explain it, the more she will doubt me."

Nantianmen Guard: "Then is there anyone you can trust right now?"

Spirit Hall Golden Generation: "I... my brother might be able to help me."

Nantianmen Guard: "Is your master stronger, or is your brother stronger?"

Spirit Hall Golden Generation: "Great Immortal, naturally my master is stronger."

Nantianmen Guard: "Then I advise you to have your master come. After consuming the Fox Pill, the effects might be stronger than you anticipate."

To put it bluntly, the level of the world where Hu Liena resided was very low. While the Tushan Fox Pill was just a snack for Jiang Wang, it could be a highly nourishing treasure for Hu Liena. Jiang Wang could not be certain just how powerful a single pill would make her. Therefore, having a strong protector present was necessary.
