Chapter 567: Chapter 568 Hellfire Upgrade
The next morning, after closing the door, Li Xiaobai summoned a wisp of Hellfire.
Then, with extre caution, he took out a rmaid’s Essence from the Eastern Sea. It was one of the six he had found in Long Xue’s boudoir, and the smallest. Li Xiaobai decided to test the waters with this Luminous Pearl first.
He gently tossed the Eastern Sea rmaid’s Essence into the pitch-black, ink-like flas.
The numbers on the System panel suddenly jumped.
[Hellfire… Current coverage area 1.1 kiloters… (Mahayana Realm)]
After a brief wait, there was no further developnt.
Li Xiaobai’s brows slightly furrowed. Could it be that this Eastern Sea rmaid’s Essence could only increase the coverage by a re point one kiloter?
Had Hellfire beco so greedy? Just a dab of effect from one Eastern Sea rmaid’s Essence, though still significantly better compared to throwing in a huge amount of resources previously without any reaction.
Thinking this, he took out another rmaid’s Essence from the Eastern Sea and threw it into the flas.
The eerie black fire suddenly surged, devouring the entire pearl, and the numbers on the System panel jumped again.
[Hellfire… Current coverage area 1.2 kiloters… (Mahayana Realm)]
Throw in another one!
[Hellfire… Current coverage area 1.3 kiloters… (Mahayana Realm)]
[…]
He proceeded to throw all the remaining pearls into it.
[Hellfire… Current coverage area 1.6 kiloters… (Mahayana Realm)]
The initial burning range had increased by six hundred ters, marking a small breakthrough.
After pondering for a mont, Li Xiaobai took out a larger Eastern Sea rmaid’s Essence and threw it into the Hellfire.
The pitch-black flas roasted and burned fiercely, and within an instant, the brilliant moonlight within the Luminous Pearl dimd suddenly, turning into specks of starlight that vanished into the void.
At the sa ti, a heart-thumping, terrifying energy slowly revived, sweeping across all directions in an instant, causing even the unrivaled defensive power of Li Xiaobai to stand his hairs on end in shock.
[Attribute Points 10000…]
[Attribute Points 10000…]
[Attribute Points 10000…]
That was the ancient energy radiating from the remnants of the Sea Clan ancestors within the Luminous Pearls, barely a fraction released, and yet so powerful it was genuinely frightening.
This was a humanoid creature but not a mber of the human race, with a long tail trailing behind and its body covered in scales, exuding a strong scent of blood.
Its facial features had long beco indistinct. Only a skeleton fra remained, making it impossible to discern its race from its appearance. Having cultivated to this level, it must have possessed extraordinary Bloodline Power.
Possibly even more formidable than the Sea Clan bigwig encountered in Central Province.
The re energy was chilling, and one could hardly imagine the realm of cultivation this expert had achieved in life.
The System’s attribute points panel shot up again.
[Hellfire… Current coverage area 1.7 kiloters… (Mahayana Realm)]
[…current coverage area 1.8 kiloters…]
[…current coverage area 1.9 kiloters…]
[…]
As the remains of the Sea Clan ancestor were slowly eroded and consud, the numbers on the System panel surged with each consud segnt.
Two kiloters!
Two and a half kiloters!
Three kiloters!
Three and a half kiloters!
No wonder Long Xue regarded the Eastern Sea rmaid’s Essence as so important; the energy contained within it was so pure and vast that ordinary cultivators could hardly imagine. Just this pearl alone could easily sustain an entire sect of cultivators.
But now it has beco an advantage for myself.
Bit by bit the skeleton disappeared, and when the head finally vanished, the value on the system panel stopped at nine-point-nine kiloters, no longer increasing.
“One pearl has directly increased the range of the Hellfire to nine-point-nine kiloters, which is a bit terrifying. I really wish there were more treasures like this one.”
Li Xiaobai licked his lips, looking unsatisfied.
With a flip of his wrist, he took out all the treasures he had smoothly pilfered from Long Xue’s room. Instantly, the whole room was stuffed to the brim with ssy clothes, among which so assorted odds and ends were mixed.
Without realizing, the room filled with a layer of a young girl’s delicate fragrance.
It was Long Xue’s body scent, and well, it slled pretty good.
Li Xiaobai shook his head, reined in his wandering mind, as now was not the ti to daydream, and without further ado, bundled up the miscellaneous items on the floor and threw them all into the Hellfire.
The black flas madly surged, with the room’s light being completely absorbed, plunging it into darkness.
Monts later, light returned before his eyes.
[Hellfire… Current coverage range 9.9 kiloters… (Mahayana Realm)]
There was no change whatsoever. Seeing the data panel identical to before, Li Xiaobai was sowhat astonished. The treasures from Long Xue’s room were definitely no ordinary items, not the sort of treasures you could find just anywhere; they should have contained abundant spiritual power.
Yet now, throwing all of them into it hadn’t caused even a ripple, which was sowhat unbelievable.
Not willing to give up, he took out hundreds of thousands of top-grade Spirit Stones and threw them into the slowly burning Hellfire, yet still, there was no change.
Li Xiaobai gave up; the Hellfire’s appetite had grown to the extre and could not be satisfied by re Spirit Stones and Magic Treasures. It was necessary to find higher-grade treasure resources if there was any hope of advancing it further.
The current range of 9.9 kiloters was already quite good, spreading out to cover an area equivalent to a small town or village.
Although for this world, it was still pitifully small, it was more than enough for battle.
He nodded to himself, satisfied, and put away the Hellfire.
It was at this mont that the door was suddenly pushed open, and several figures rushed in frantically.
“Family Head, are you alright?”
“Young Master Li, what happened just now?”
The newcors were Zongdao and several elders. The aura from that skeleton earlier had given them the feeling like the Primordial Spirits were shattering. Only after sensing that the overwhelming presence had disappeared did they rush here to check.
Seeing the look of terror on the faces of the few of them, Li Xiaobai waved his hand and said with a light smile, “It’s no trouble, just a small matter, and I’ve already dealt with it.”
“The Family Head is mighty!”
The few elders were respectfully impressed. That aura from before was terrifyingly horrifying, certainly at the top of the Mahayana Realm, and yet it was eliminated in an instant by Li Xiaobai. Too strong!
Zongdao was also sowhat astonished, but he was already numb to Li Xiaobai’s prowess.
He then continued, “Young Master Li, there’s another matter. The three great families have sent people to report that the shop setup went very smoothly. In just one day’s ti, they traded at least ten million top-grade Spirit Stones. The effects of the bathhouse and Huazi have excited the cultivators to the verge of madness.”
“The price of Huazi has already increased to ten top-grade Spirit Stones per pack, and the cost of bathing with Tangneng First-class has increased tenfold, one million top-grade Spirit Stones for half an hour.”
Sss!
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaobai drew a sharp breath. The three great families had actually raised the prices, and directly by tenfold at that. Their hearts were really black!
