Chapter 394: 395: Reclaiming the Flame

Decades later, when the Immortal Spirit Qi descended once again, it seemed as though heaven knew that the cultivators’ Immortal Spirit Qi had been stolen, so it deliberately arranged another occurrence just like the first.

But to everyone’s utter disbelief, on this crucial moment, this undying old thing resurfaced, silently snatched away the Immortal Spirit Qi, and then took off running, leaving no soup for the other cultivators.

This was the most infuriating part—if you’re going to die, then die properly, what’s with suddenly popping up and stealing the Immortal Spirit Qi?

Don’t other cultivators want to get stronger too?

Li Xiaobai was at a loss for words, but it did seem that the vagabond elder had acted quite shamelessly.

It’s true that the one with the ability should possess the treasure, but you can’t just cut off someone else’s livelihood like that, and on top of that, it was a sneak attack—what a shameless old thing, no martial ethics at all!

“Hehe, it does sound like Elder Tianwu went a bit overboard,”

“Overboard? He went way beyond overboard!”

“But it doesn’t matter, he’s doing even worse than me now. When we meet again, I will definitely crush him in revenge!”

A cold glint flashed in Song Que’s eyes as he chuckled ominously.

Li Xiaobai felt a bit terrified. The always amiable Sky Blade Song Que turned so aggressive when speaking of the old beggar—it seemed the grudge was quite deep.

Well, it was best to distance himself from the old beggar, and not mention knowing him for the time being. It was too dangerous.

“Senior’s might is unparalleled, and with these Spirit Stones, I believe Senior will soon rise another level. In Holy City, there’s the Premium Soup Product Bathhouse. Soaking there also has miraculous effects on enhancing cultivation level. In your spare time, Senior might also enjoy relaxing there.”

“Guarding the city gate is a job that can temporarily be entrusted to someone else.”

After making polite conversation, Li Xiaobai didn’t dare to linger and quickly left.

He always felt that Song Que’s gaze was somewhat off, as if he could lose control at any moment. The old beggar really caused some deep harm, as people were still holding a grudge against him after decades.

…

Back at the small shop, Li Xiaobai pulled Ergouzi and Ji Wuqing out of the bathhouse where they had been leisurely swimming.

These two rascals went to enjoy themselves within a day, without having done any real work yet.

“Woof, kid, what are you doing? Lord Ergouzi hasn’t finished soaking yet!”

“Cluck cluck, boy, I need to level up, don’t impede my path to becoming stronger!”

Both the chicken and the dog looked displeased, as they were right in the midst of their enjoyable time.

“Less nonsense, don’t forget the real task at hand. Several Saint Heirs are watching us like tigers. How can you feel like taking a bath?”

“Strike while the iron is hot, follow me to the third battlefield immediately!”

Li Xiaobai’s forehead was filled with lines of frustration, without another word, he signaled Jiang Yi, who was waiting by the side, to grab the two creatures and pack them up to take away.

As the few figures distanced themselves, the cultivators in the bathhouse couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief, finally sending off this scourge.

These two beasts had declared their overlord status upon arrival, monopolizing nearly half the pool and squeezing the other cultivators into a corner. Moreover, they demanded worship from everyone present.

They were furious yet dared not speak out. After all, these creatures were Saint Heirs of Fire Qilin Cave; they could do whatever they wanted, and these ordinary frontier cultivators couldn’t afford to offend them.

At this moment, seeing the dreadful dog being hauled away, their hearts surged with exuberance.

At the city gate, Li Xiaobai flipped his wrist and the Lamborghini hit the ground.

Jiang Yi was very cooperative, promptly stuffing the chicken and the dog into the back seat.

Li Xiaobai nodded in satisfaction, pressed the accelerator to the floor, and sped away in a whirl of dust.

“Woof, kid, why pick this critical moment to head to the third battlefield? Wouldn’t it be better for us to sneakily level up a bit first?”

“`

Ergouzi was quite dissatisfied at the moment, especially after discovering that its Protector, Jiang Yi, was actually obedient to Li Xiaobai, it was fuming with rage.

“How else do you want to grow? Devouring other Saint Heirs is your shortcut to getting stronger quickly, we’re all doing this for your benefit.”

Li Xiaobai glanced at it and said indifferently.

“Bah! Kid, you just want to gather wealth and quickly take over the third battlefield, so your Huazi market can expand. Don’t use Lord Ergouzi as an excuse!”

Ergouzi said with disdain.

“You’ve gotten smarter in the past few days. You can even see through such a high-end strategy. But I’ll be able to make more Spirit Stones, and you can obtain the Qilin Bloodline. It’s a win-win for both of us.”

“Could it be that you have no desire for the other Saint Heirs?”

“The blood flowing through them is the bloodline that should belong to you!”

Li Xiaobai said persuasively, feeling that this damn dog had become complacent after enjoying Huazi and the bathhouse, losing the sense of crisis it had before.

Perhaps it was because he was here.

But he didn’t have much time to waste here, there were many things waiting for him to do on the frontier. Compared to that, this damn dog’s trial was just a small interlude.

If it weren’t for Mei Changqing’s sudden intervention that day, the struggle for the Fire Qilin would have already come to an end.

“Cackle, kid, secure some benefits for your lord too. I also want to get stronger!”

Ji Wuqing shouted on the side.

Ergouzi turned and slapped him, knocking him to the ground: “You damn chicken, what need do you have to get stronger? Just behave and be an ornament.”

“Cackle, you dead dog!”

Ji Wuqing burst into a rage, and the carriage was once again thrown into chaos.

It took Li Xiaobai about two hours to reach the third battlefield, which was far from the Holy City.

Because he was afraid the Lamborghini would make too much noise and alert the enemies, he had kept the speed low all the way.

The sports car bypassed the cities crowded with cultivators and charged directly into the battlefield. The third battlefield was now also occupied by a sea of darkness.

There were no cultivators around anymore, just like the previous fourth battlefield. With the Hellfire acting as a natural protective barrier, the cultivators had let down their guard slightly and had all gone to rest.

Cai Kunxu didn’t inform Xiong Da about the situation in the fourth battlefield, so the cultivators in this battlefield were still unaware of the intense backlash that would occur after the flames disappeared.

Without the support of Huazi, the cultivators on the frontier alone couldn’t hold back the invasion of Flesh Mountain.

“Woof, kid, what are you planning to do?”

Ergouzi asked.

“Take back the flames.”

Li Xiaobai walked into the black flames and said faintly.

“And then?”

“Just go back to the city and wait.”

Li Xiaobai smiled faintly and stepped into the Hellfire.

After several days of burning, all the Flesh Mountains on this battlefield had been devoured by the Hellfire, and now that Li Xiaobai had collected it, the values on the System panel began to skyrocket.

[Current coverage area: 430 meters…]

[Current coverage area: 450 meters…]

[Current coverage area: 480 meters…]

[Hellfire (Divine Level skill) current coverage area: 500 meters.]

Chapter 395: Chapter 396: The Explosive Holy City

“`

The battlefield on this side had a similar surge in Hellfire as the fourth battlefield.

Unfortunately, due to Mei Changqing’s influence, there was one wave of revenue less for the Hellfire; otherwise, it might have already reached the initial coverage range of six hundred meters.

Nevertheless, even so, the current range of five hundred meters was already quite impressive.

At the very least, unlike at the beginning, where one could easily escape.

In the third battlefield, the black flames disappeared in an instant, leaving only a vast expanse of black charred earth to tell of the earlier devastation.

“Elder Jiang, take a look at what the situation is like now inside the third battlefield?”

Li Xiaobai looked at Jiang Yi beside him and asked.

“Hmm, no need to look. Xiong Da isn’t very smart. Without the help of Cai Kunxu, he is certain to be bamboozled by the Saint Heir of Fire Qilin Cave, completely bewildered. By now, they must have struck some sort of deal. Inside the city, there must be peace and prosperity.”

Jiang Yi said slowly.

“Hmm, that’s very good. Let’s return to the city immediately and wait for Xiong Da to come to us for help.”

Li Xiaobai got into his car, turned it around, and sped away.

“Woof, lad, why are you so sure that the cultivators from the third battlefield will come asking for help?”

“Aren’t they supposed to be stronger than those from the fourth battlefield?”

Ergouzi asked with a confused face.

“The strength of the cultivators from the third battlefield is indeed generally higher, but don’t forget, correspondingly, the Flesh Mountains on their battlefield are also generally of higher strength.”

“Without Huazi’s help, these cultivators on their own will be completely unable to stop the onslaught of the Flesh Mountains.”

“The high-level bosses can’t be on guard twenty-four hours a day. There will be a time when they come asking for help. We just need to wait patiently.”

Li Xiaobai explained slowly. These were all tricks. A series of chain reactions triggered by the disappearance of the Hellfire would, in time, allow for the cultivators from the fourth battlefield to swagger through the third battlefield with a Tangneng First-class in hand, putting on an early show for potential buyers.

Surely all the cultivators from the third battlefield would flock to them.

After all, the allure of Huazi was tremendous.

…

A quiet night passed, and the next morning, the quality shop opened as usual, along with more than a dozen chain stores, all managed by designated personnel.

Every few minutes, a powerful surge of Spiritual Power would erupt from Tangneng First-class, resonating with the ancient melodies of the Daoist hymns in the void—an indication of cultivators making breakthroughs.

These frontier cultivators who had battled for years on end already had a foundation far above the average person. The only reason they hadn’t advanced was that they were stuck at a bottleneck, lacking only an opportunity for a breakthrough.

Tangneng First-class was providing them with that exact opportunity. With the continuous enhancement of Spiritual Power within them, coupled with the extremely high comprehension brought by Huazi, they managed to break through the barrier and begin their ascension.

“Haha, I’ve broken through to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage!”

“Coincidentally, so have I.”

“I am now a mid-tier master of Transcendance Tribulation Stage. If I come here a few more times, advancing to a higher tier is not impossible!”

“Heh, a Transcendance Tribulation Stage master, no matter where, is a core force. Now, I want to see if Wan’er’s family still has reasons to refuse me!”

“I’ve decided, I’ll propose marriage tomorrow!”

“`

“Brother, I support you!”

“All thanks to Young Master Ye!”

Cultivators were ecstatic, as advancing their realms was something all cultivators pursued, but they never imagined it would suddenly become so easy.

Many who had been hindered by their cultivation levels now broke through to new heights, with all previous barriers crumbling on their own.

Their respect for Li Xiaobai deepened, as providing such Heaven and Earth Treasures at rock-bottom prices was undoubtedly a blessing for the region.

Yang Guang had been grinning non-stop for the past two days, with too many cultivators traveling to the Holy City, bringing prosperity to other businesses in the city as well. Many cultivators enjoyed a cup of tea or a lavish meal after their bath, greatly boosting the Holy City’s economy.

The once somewhat depressed Holy City was now bustling with activity.

“Young Master Li, the Holy City owes its prosperity to you today. You truly are the lucky star of our borderlands!”

In a bathhouse, Yang Guang, soaking in the tub, said with a flushed face.

Li Xiaobai felt a bit awkward. This guy wasn’t young anymore, and he didn’t know for whom he was putting on this girlish act.

“Ahem, Lord Yang, there’s no need for thanks. This is a mutually beneficial arrangement for both of us. Besides, without your open-mindedness, I would not have been able to open a shop in the city or make such a sizable profit.”

“All this, I must thank Lord Yang for your wise leadership.”

Li Xiaobai made perfunctory remarks with ease, showering Yang Guang with flattery until he glowed even more.

Now, the Good Goods Shop and Tangneng First-class were almost outrageously profitable enterprises. Even if the City Lord’s Mansion only took a ten-percent cut, they were making money hand over fist.

“Haha, it’s mostly thanks to Young Master Li’s great wisdom. Yesterday, my Fourth Battlefield’s cultivators won a great victory with no casualties. Just with a single Huazi, we cleared the whole battlefield. If the other City Lords knew, their eyes would probably turn red with envy,” Cai Kunxu added, in an exceptionally good mood.

“Moreover, I don’t know what’s happened, but lately my subordinates have started paying attention to solidifying their foundations and practicing physical cultivation. You see, even if I forced them to train diligently, they only pretended to comply while actually neglecting practice half the time.”

“But now, they’ve begun to take the initiative to train, which is quite surprising to me.”

Li Xiaobai chuckled to himself, knowing that the shift was probably clear only to those who had experienced Tangneng First-class.

Showcasing one’s physique in front of handsome guys and beautiful girls was quite rewarding. Not to mention, it could even lead to a fine romance.

“It looks like Lord Cai’s subordinates will make significant improvements. Who knows, they might even become stronger than those at the Third Battlefield.”

Li Xiaobai nodded as he spoke.

“Speaking of the Third Battlefield, that Xiong Da fellow hasn’t sent any word for so long. I’m afraid he might be harboring disloyal thoughts,” Cai Kunxu seized the opportunity to direct the accusation at Xiong Da.

City Lords were rivals, and he and Xiong Da were no exception. If he could turn Li Xiaobai against Xiong Da, then he could monopolize the resources Li Xiaobai provided in the future.

“No worries, he will be coming to the Holy City soon,” Li Xiaobai replied with a nonchalant smile.

“Oh, does Young Master Li have any plans?”

Yang Guang’s expression shifted as he spoke. Now that Cai Kunxu of the Fourth Battlefield was in his pocket, naturally, he wanted to continue the trend and conquer the other City Lords as well.

Li Xiaobai shook his head, “As for that, the workings of heaven must not be revealed, just wait patiently…”
