Central Province, Fire Qilin Cave.
A dozen or so Elders sat grimly perusing the Immortal Spirit Daily, their expressions enraged.
“This Li Xiaobai has gone too far, not only kidnapping a disciple from our cave but also openly challenging the authority of our Fire Qilin Cave. He’s just a minor sect from the Northern Region; let go and exterminate him!”
“It seems that our Fire Qilin Cave has not been active in the outside world for many years, these upstart brats have lost their respect for us. I suggest we take this opportunity to assert the might of our Fire Qilin Cave!”
“Indeed…”
The anger of the Elders was uncontainable. This was a matter of face; as an ancient sect, most would retreat three feet at the sight of them. Yet soone dared to kidnap their disciples—it was tantamount to courting death.
“There’s no need to rush. Other powers are probably even more anxious. Elder Chen has brought back a Qilin Divine Beast, so currently all affairs within the cave prioritize the Divine Beast. As for that junior, Elder Yun can take a trip. Yunkun is your disciple; you bring him back.”
“If anyone obstructs, show no rcy!”
From the throne, the Cave Master spoke indifferently.
“Understood!”
“Also, regarding the recent alliance marriage with Zhenyuan Country, Elder Yun, you will handle that too. Just find any handyman; our Qilin bloodline cannot be mixed with re mortals.”
“Understood!”
Similar incidents were erging among several major powers in Central Province. Sect Disciples were captured, and their captor openly demanded a ransom of one million Spirit Stones, causing them to lose face in front of everyone. They had to teach Li Xiaobai a bloody lesson.
Even without communicating, various sects unanimously sent Sect Elders to the Northern Region to capture Li Xiaobai, to wash away their sha before all the world.
…
Atop Misty Peak, Li Xiaobai made his rounds inspecting the cultivation of his disciples. The bathhouse had opened more than a dozen establishnts, fully catering to the disciples’ cultivation needs; als and all other daily necessities were taken care of.
Li Xiaobai was very satisfied; only with such spirit could the bath culture be promoted and flourish.
He had received letters from his senior brothers and sisters the day before, ntioning they had set out early for Central Province to look for a breakthrough opportunity. They wouldn’t return to the sect for a while, likely spurred on by the scene of Ou Yezi’s breakthrough.
Searching the bathhouse, he found the old beggar since Ou Yezi had not yet returned to the sect. If their enemies ca knocking, they would have to rely on this old man.
“Old man, when will you be in form? Our enemies will be at our door any mont now.”
Li Xiaobai brought the Immortal Spirit Daily up close to the old beggar’s eyes.
After squinting at the paper for a while, the old beggar’s complexion suddenly changed, “Oh my goodness, I, this old beggar, cannot manage this. You even dared to bind soone from Fire Qilin Cave; I have nothing to do with this. I still have so business to attend to, I’ll be leaving first.”
Li Xiaobai grabbed him back: “Don’t go, old man. I’ll help you find your state, and you help tie up this group of people; how about it?”
“Fire Qilin Cave is not easy to provoke; this is a life-threatening business,” the old beggar said with a worried look.
“So, what about it?” Li Xiaobai asked.
“There need to be extra charges!”
“Old man, with your sky-high cultivation, Spirit Stones and such worldly possessions are surely beneath you. I have here an Inner Armor that belonged to the saintess of the Hehuan Sect, which is her personal clothing. How about…”
“Deal! It’s just the Fire Qilin Cave; if it cos to a fight, the old beggar remains invincible!”
The old beggar’s eyes glead as he eagerly stashed away the Inner Armor, glancing around like a thief to make sure no one noticed before he finally relaxed.
Li Xiaobai twisted his wrist and produced a bottle of dicine, an item exchanged from the System Mall.
[Mall]: One bottle of ‘Stand Tall’, two bottles of ‘Immortals Beware’, three bottles and you won’t be able to handle it. If the state isn’t right, co straight back to Mall. (Thirty top-grade Spirit Stones.)]
[Note: Can temporarily increase state, enhance combat power, but the body will enter a weakened state after the dicine’s effects wear off.]
“Old man, this is Divine dicine. Take one bottle and you’ll see imdiate results, absolutely full of vigor. Drink no more than three bottles at a ti,” Li Xiaobai said.
The old beggar sniffed the small bottle, “This scent is quite strange, not like that of a Spiritual dicine.”
“Whatever it is, as long as it’s useful, that’s all that matters,” Li Xiaobai said.
“Don’t worry, if those people co, leave them all to , I’ve got it covered.”
The old beggar talked big without hesitation. He didn’t believe for a minute that the potion could help him recover, but bragging was free, and he could just put on a show when the ti ca. If he didn’t feel up to it, he could just grab his bedding and run off imdiately.
Having made up his mind, the old man felt secure.
Li Xiaobai continued to wander around the mountain peak. The Holy Demon Sect needed to enhance its defensive power—at the very least, it should withstand the attack of a Great Crossing Realm Cultivator.
The System Mall offered Sect Formations, albeit pricey, yet he could currently afford them.
Now, with abundant resources in hand, although he couldn’t buy out the entire System Mall, getting whatever he wanted was no issue.
[Golden Light Formation: a Mountain Protection Array that can absorb the faith power of Sect Disciples, capable of withstanding a full-strength strike from a Great Crossing Realm Cultivator. (One hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones)]
[Note: Once the Formation is activated, it consus one thousand top-grade Spirit Stones per hour.]
This was certainly one of the most expensive items. Not to ntion the price of one hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, just running the Formation would cost one thousand top-grade Spirit Stones per hour—roughly the price of a sports car.
But being able to withstand a full-strength strike from Great Crossing Realm Cultivators made it worth it.
This thing couldn’t be left on all the ti, it should only be used at critical monts.
Confirm purchase.
The Spirit Stones he had shrank by a large amount in an instant. He had taken quite a few Space Rings from cultivators, and the total amount of Spirit Stones inside was substantial. However, faced with the System Mall’s huge demands, it seed like a drop in the bucket.
Still, he needed to resolve the troubles quickly and go to Zhenyuan Country with Ouyang Shuanger to conduct the trade.
He mapped out the Formation around the terrain of the Holy Demon Sect. From now on, as long as he activated the Formation, it would operate on its own.
In the anti, Li Xiaobai used the Teleportation Formation on the mountain peak to check on the Immortal Feather Sect. Everything was on track, and the sect’s construction was even better than before. After leaving behind a batch of resources, he teleported back.
The Teleportation Formation made it very convenient to connect the two sects.
All preparations were in place, now it’s just a matter of waiting for the big shots to co knocking.
Check the System’s value panel.
[Host: Li Xiaobai.]
[…]
[Defensive power: Flesh Body Sanctification (128000/1000000) can be advanced.]
[Attribute Points: 0.]
[Skills: Hundred Percent Enmity Pull, Hundred Percent Barehanded Blade Catch, Drunken Immortal, Muscle Flaccidity…]
[Mall: Opened.]
[Achievents: Trouble-Making Machine (4/108).]
[Pudong Rooster: Death count (1).]
This stage of defensive power improvent requires one million Attribute Points, and the numbers needed will only get larger later on. The Northern Region offers limited opportunities for him to increase his strength.
The Immortal Spirit Continent is vast, and the strength of the Northern Region is fairly diocre.
Once things here are settled, it’s ti to explore other territories.
