Ultimately, Zhou Jianxiong didn't dare send anyone to cause trouble for Chu Qingyun.
Moreover, he feared Zhou Wushang would cause more trouble and genuinely anger Master Kang. So, he put Zhou Wushang in confinement, forbidding him from leaving his home or meeting anyone before the Pill Battle Conference!
There were still a few days until the Celestial Martial City Pill Battle Conference.
During this time, Chu Qingyun remained in his room, claiming he was preparing for the Pill Battle Conference.
In reality, however, he was hard at work, continuing to use his Devouring Power to consume the crimson energy on the blood-red sphere.
Through his persistent efforts, the power obstructing him grew weaker and weaker. He could even see faint glimmers of light inside the sphere through the crimson glow.
It wasn't until the day before the Pill Battle Conference that Chu Qingyun reluctantly put the sphere away.
