Chapter 1517: Chapter 1519: Not Taking a Single Thread
Lost in a fog?
I think you’re lost in lust, aren’t you?
“It shouldn’t be such a muddle-headed way though. Your actions are a bit too extre. You must know I just saved this city. Even though I am imnsely thrilled, you shouldn’t play around like this.”
Li Xiaobai filled another glass of wine and downed it in one gulp in front of the stunned eyes of Yang Yuan and his daughter.
He wasn’t the least bit concerned about the poison in the wine. What kind of cultivation level must one have to pay no mind to such things? Even if one’s physical strength and Bloodline Power are strong, the body is still a weak point. Consuming poison without harm—what caliber of expert could do that?
Is he really just a prodigious disciple from the Jiuhua Domain?
Even if a fad expert from Jiuhua Domain ca here, they couldn’t do that, right?
“Yes, yes, yes, the young master is right. It’s my daughter who acted rashly, and it’s my fault as a father for not taking responsibility. If you have any anger, please direct it at , just spare my daughter!”
“There are still many precious resources in the city; feel free to take them!”
Chen Yuan kneeled on the ground, filled with dread, Chen Xiu was also sowhat dumbfounded—this visitor was really this formidable?
It seed she had made a misstep and narrowed her path.
“That’s quite embarrassing for , but since the City Lord has spoken, it would be impolite for to refuse.”
“Then I’ll take so symbolic compensation. Where’s your treasury? I’ll take a look inside myself.”
Li Xiaobai stood up and said exactly what he had been waiting for. Your daughter wants to ss with , yet I can’t take a little ‘bride price’?
“Ah, this…”
“Quick, soone escort Young Master Cai to the treasure vault imdiately!”
The City Lord Chen Yuan waved his hand hastily, and his attitude eased by the young man’s response. Indeed, he’s just a naive young man, despite being poisoned, yet he had not harbored any murderous intent.
It’s fortunate that this young man was inexperienced; otherwise, today, he would have been utterly dood.
“Ha ha ha, I like your straightforwardness. Rest assured, I’m just going to take a look at the treasure vault. I won’t take a single needle or thread from the citizens!”
Li Xiaobai laughed heartily and followed a cultivator away. This City Lord was quite nice, offering treasures indeed!
“Father, it was my lack of foresight that almost brought harm to you!”
Watching Li Xiaobai leave, Chen Xiu imdiately kneeled on one knee, full of remorse. She hadn’t been able to see the difference in strength in ti and nearly caused a disaster!
“It’s alright, no harm done. This young man should have been kept hidden by the Jiuhua Domain, and today marks his debut. Although very powerful, he lacks experience and is still under control.”
“First, use the treasury to hold him in place; during the ti he spends going through the treasures, it should be enough ti for Sky Blade Sect to arrive. Did you send out the ssage?”
Chen Yuan said slowly. Since things had already been set in motion, there was no turning back.
“Reporting to father, the ssage has already been sent out. The Sky Blade Sect should receive it in at most half an hour.”
Chen Xiu said, before welcoming Li Xiaobai into the city, she had sent out the ssage with a Spirit Beast.
“That’s good, relay the command to fully open the treasure vault to Cai Kun. Make sure to let him browse for so ti.”
“I see he is inexperienced in the world, though he has greed for wealth in his eyes, he still values face too much to take too many good things. Let him choose for a while to stall ti!”
Chen Yuan said, convinced that this Jiuhua Domain disciple was too embarrassed to take too many treasures. He would just pick a few favorite items, stall until Sky Blade Sect’s cultivators arrive, and he would have an explanation.
…
On the other side.
Inside Primodial City.
Within the treasure vault.
A massive stone door opened, and the dazzling gold light blinded Li Xiaobai. This wealth represented the accumulation of many years by this city, with resources as plentiful as the hairs on an ox, and even more Rare Earth.
Magic Treasures, spiritual pills, Formations, were erging endlessly, floating in the void.
“Young Master Cai, this is the collection within my treasury. Your grace upon Primodial City is sothing we will never forget. The treasures in the treasury are free for you to choose, per the City Lord’s instructions. The treasure vault is fully open to you. Take whatever you fancy!”
The elderly cultivator beside him bowed and said.
“Rest assured, I am a person of principle. I won’t take a single needle or thread. I’ll just take a look. Please, go ahead and tend to your own business first.”
Li Xiaobai said with a pleasant smile.
“In that case, I won’t disturb you, young master. I’ll have soone wait outside the hall. If you need anything, just say the word.”
The elderly cultivator bowed again, respectfully leaving.
“There are truly good people in this city, showing great gratitude for even a drop of help. In these tis, there aren’t many who understand this principle.”
Li Xiaobai muttered to himself, his eyes shining with excitent. With a wave of his hand, the forty-ninth battlefield was fully activated, and in an instant, all the treasures in the room fell into an expanse of desolation. The next second, the desolate area disappeared, leaving the room completely empty.
After a few breaths, a vortex of Spiritual Energy appeared in the void, spitting out a treasure resembling a silver needle.
I promised not to touch a needle or thread, and I’m definitely sticking to it, I’m very principled.
The treasure vault was divided into several levels, with a massive stone door blocking each advancent. But since it was fully open to him at the mont, there was no hindrance. Stone door after stone door opened, and Li Xiaobai walked in with a satisfied smile, sweeping all the treasures clean.
“That’s what the City Lord said; take whatever you fancy. I can’t exactly refuse the City Lord’s words, can I?”
“If I take too little, he might feel guilty.”
Li Xiaobai muttered, the forty-ninth battlefield activated. Without even looking, he swept all the treasures in the domain clean.
“Junior brother, well done, take as much as you can. The items in this city are sowhat useful.”
“This city does have so richness; there are many good things.”
Liu Jinshui’s voice ca through.
“Don’t worry, senior brother, everything besides a needle and thread will be thoroughly cleaned out.”
“You can trust with this task.”
Li Xiaobai said calmly, walking across layer by layer, with all doors open, each treasure more exquisite than the last, shining in gold splendor.
The last level held only three books floating in the void, exuding an ancient and primitive aura, clearly extraordinary.
The desolate hue swept through, and even the final defense vanished without a trace.
…
A quarter of an hour later.
Li Xiaobai walked out of the treasury with his hands behind his back.
“Young Master Cai, have you picked your desired items?”
The elderly cultivator approached, looking respectful.
“I’ve picked them. Your treasures here are indeed impressive, and I am very satisfied.”
“Let’s head back, we mustn’t keep the City Lord waiting. Hurry up and close the door to the treasury, we wouldn’t want any petty thieves finding an opportunity.”
Li Xiaobai chuckled, linking arms with the elderly cultivator as they returned the way they ca.
“But… inside the treasury…”
The cultivator tried to say sothing more, but Li Xiaobai pulled him back.
“No buts, don’t you trust my integrity?”
“I said I wouldn’t take a single needle or thread, and I won’t. Let’s take care of the main business first!”
