Chapter 261: Pick Up The Pieces

They rounded a spring of grass, and the whole image revealed itself before them. Not just Huis ring, but his entire hand laid there in the grass, the ring still stuck on his crystallized finger.

Hui paused, licking his lips. Okay, so er, how do I free the ring? Maybe I can He hopped off Zhubi and floated over to his hand, landing on his ring. Reaching out to the ring, he opened it and sent his hand inside.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

Hui and the ring both fell to the ground. Despite his small size, Huis strength remained, including the ability to hover in the air; however, the hand disappeared too quickly, and he wasnt prepared. Gasping, he pushed himself up from the tiny mud puddle he ended up in and looked around.

Zhubi peered down at him, flickering his tongue at Hui in concern.

Im fine, Im fine. Hui climbed to his feet and dusted himself off. He looked at his little hands and sighed. Last time, my soul was too worn out, so I became tiny. This time, I didnt have enough life qi, so I couldnt grow my lotus beast body enough, and I ended up tiny again.

He looked at his crystalized pieces. I cant sense any life qi in them not that thats a surprise. My body is kind of dead. If I didnt have a secondary body prepared, Id be screwed.

Let that be a lesson to me! Always prepare a second body!

Hefting the ring, Hui looked at it. It was an awkward size, not quite small enough to be a bracelet or big enough to fit around his waist. It fit over his head, but I dont want to end up choking myself to death on my own storage ring when I get bigger!

He hesitated another moment, then held out his hand. A vine grew from his arm, and he tore it off and used it to tie the ring to his back. Experimentally, he tried drawing out a talisman.

A yellowed piece of paper descended from the heavens and draped over him, big enough to serve as a bath towel. It covered his face, blinding him and falling into his mouth.

Grappling at the talisman, Hui sent it back into the storage ring and drew a breath, wiping his face. I almost suffocated!

Not that a fourth stage cultivator can suffocate that easily, but

Hui pressed a hand to his forehead. Somehow, I feel like a student whos left their summer homework untouched until the very last week of summer vacation

He stood. Zhubi! Lets go back to the sect. I need to confirm everyones state. No matter what, Im reviving them all. But for now, I need to know what state theyre in, so I know how to revive them. If theyre all dead it might take until Im a much later stage, but Ill just take a leaf from Masters book and cultivate as quickly as I can!

Not that I think I can cultivate as fast as Master, but

Zhubi hesitated. He looked at Hui and hissed.

Its been months! Well be safe. And besides, were little. We can sneak in pretty easily, Hui bargained.

Zhubi hesitated again. He wiggled in place, uncertain.

Hui sat again and stroked Zhubis head placatingly. I have the reed shoes. I can mask my aura to look like anything at all. I can even extend it to cover you, you know? Well just be an ordinary spirit snake to all the All-Heavens cultivators.

Gu Tians sword shook, turning its point to Hui. What about me?

Oh Ill put you in my storage ring, good point, Hui said, reaching out his hand.

Wait, wait Before he could protest, Gu Tians sword vanished into Huis ring. Exasperated, he trembled. Youre supposed to ride your sword, you know?

Alright, Zhubi. Lets go. Hui settled into a cross-legged pose and crossed his arms.

Zhubi hissed and slithered off, carrying Hui on his head.
