Chapter 453: Chapter 454 Who Really Picks Up the Bargains
The golden glow flickered, and Li Xiaobai instantly appeared at the edge of the battlefield, escaping the unparalleled force that oppressed him from the void.
The aftermath of the battle brushed past Li Xiaobai, and the numbers on the System panel jumped wildly.
[Attribute Points+50000…]
Li Xiaobai was so frightened that he shuddered. That strike was too fierce; taking it head-on would definitely result in severe injury, even the Godzilla in the mall would probably only get beaten up.
A casual strike worth fifty thousand Attribute Points, the might of the Vice Leader of the Aolai Country from the Eastern Sea, truly unfathomable!
This woman was too brutal, not pulling any punches. Had the teleportation been even one second later, he would have likely sustained serious injuries.
However, the benefits he had reaped during this time were also tremendous, with the suppression by Liuren boosting his Attribute Points by a full million.
System Panel.
[Host: Li Xiaobai.]
[Defensive Power: Half-step Human Immortal Body (4.1 million/10 million) (Immortal Spirit Qi: To be obtained) can advance.]
[Attribute Points: Zero.]
[Hellfire (Divine Level Skill) 810 meters.]
[Achievements: Trouble-Maker (35/108).]
[Pet: Pudong Rooster (Current Deaths: Ten Times).]
[Undying Phoenix Bloodline: Activated (0.01%).]
Defensive Power had already reached four million, just six million short of filling up—bum a few more times and he could possess it.
It must be said that the battlefield of the powerhouses was the best spot for leveling up.
“Hmm?”
“Indeed, you have some tricks up your sleeve. You almost fooled me there.”
Liuren’s eyes sparkled with astonishment as she looked at Li Xiaobai, filled with amazement.
Her strike was not something ordinary cultivators could dodge. Not only did he manage to teleport away with a talisman, but he also withstood the attack of the Sea-Calming Divine Needle. Combining what she had discovered earlier, she could now be sure that this man was anything but simple.
“Kid, you actually played dead. Release the old beggar too!”
The old beggar was extremely excited and clear-headed. He knew that Li Xiaobai would not be easily suppressed; this guy had an endless supply of strange artifacts.
If it really came to a fight, even Liuren might not be able to hold him down.
“Cough cough, esteemed seniors, I have no intention of joining in your strife. Why don’t you continue to suppress me for now, and then you can release me after you are done,” Li Xiaobai coughed dryly and continued speaking somewhat awkwardly.
Without the source of Attribute Points from being suppressed by the Sea-Calming Divine Needle, he would have to face the powerhouses directly to leech Attribute Points, something he did not wish to see.
Each and every one present was almost at the Half-step Human Immortal realm, characters from hundreds of years ago, all with Immortal Spirit Qi accumulated in their bodies. If they really fought, any of them could break his defenses.
It was more comfortable to be honestly suppressed; lying down, he could still increase his Attribute Points.
“Miss Liuren, you see, as I said before, this child hides great secrets. Assuming that he has the Sea-Calming Divine Needle is not without basis. I suggest we take action, capture him, and interrogate him for the secrets he hides!”
The ancestor of the Qi Sect’s eyes twinkled. He had not expected to encounter such a surprise at the frontier. If they could uncover the secrets on Li Xiaobai’s person, leave aside the rest, just the item named Huazi could make his Sect prosperous for a thousand years.
“Do you have another Sea-Calming Divine Needle on you?”
Liuren pointed her long stick at Li Xiaobai and asked in a deep voice.
In Central Province that day, she witnessed the Sea-Calming Divine Needle that blotted out the sky, though it was but a fleeting glimpse, not appearing for long. By the time she arrived, it had vanished without a trace.
That Sea-Calming Divine Needle truly shocked her, whether it was the craftsmanship or the mysterious ancient aura it exuded, it was indistinguishable from the one in Aolai Country.
The most critical point was the appearance of that golden giant ape; although it looked somewhat different from hers, it was clear it was the Artifact Spirit nurtured by the Sea-Calming Divine Needle.
A Sea-Calming Divine Needle capable of nurturing an Artifact Spirit would absolutely not be a counterfeit or a high-quality imitation.
It was indeed a genuine Sea-Calming Divine Needle. The Eldest Sister and the Third Sister of the Eastern Sea’s Aolai Country shared the same opinion. Nonetheless, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t understand why a second Sea-Calming Divine Needle would exist in this world?
Even after searching through all the ancient texts in Aolai Country, they failed to find an answer. Little did they expect to encounter Li Xiaobai today, possibly resolving the doubts in their hearts.
“I don’t have the Sea-Calming Divine Needle with me, but I do indeed have a way to summon the other one.”
Li Xiaobai said with a smile, his eyes sweeping over the assembly of elders, revealing a sly grin.
If he could summon the Sea-Calming Divine Needle and successfully employ the skill, he would have the power to fight even against Liuren.
“Oh?”
“As everyone knows, the Sea-Calming Divine Needle is a relic left by the ancestors of my Aolai Country. We have never heard of another Sea-Calming Divine Needle. Could Young Master Li summon the other Divine Needle? If it is genuine, Aolai Country is willing to exchange it for the Bloodline Power of the Six-Eared Macaque!”
Liuren reined in her aura and her demeanor softened significantly as she spoke sincerely.
Though her actions tended to be domineering, she still played by the rules and would not behave like a robber.
“The Bloodline Power of the Six-Eared Macaque!”
Upon hearing this, everyone present was startled. This was—after all—a treasure indeed. It’s said that the Qilin Bloodline of Fire Qilin Cave had infinite potential, but compared to the Bloodline of the Six-Eared Macaque, it was insignificant, without any comparison.
The other was the genuine descendant of an ancient divine monkey, with its bloodline to the utmost purity.
It is said that the Six-Eared Macaque, born with six ears, could hear all directions, discern heavenly premonitions, and calculate divine will, being a divine monkey naturally nurtured by heaven and earth, unrivaled in strength. This was also why Liuren could remain undefeated on the Immortal Spirit Continent.
To obtain such a drop of Bloodline Power, a surge in strength would be a minor benefit; the major advantage would be solidifying one’s foundation. In the path of cultivation, the firmer one’s foundation, the smoother the cultivation journey would be.
This was a precious treasure even they coveted!
“In fact, summoning it is not difficult, but that Sea-Calming Divine Needle is too wild, and I am unable to control it. If let out, I fear it may cause chaos on the borders again.”
Li Xiaobai said with a look of difficulty on his face, as if he truly feared causing harm to the surrounding cultivators.
“This kid has a secret!”
The old beggar’s eyes sparkled with light. Others might not understand Li Xiaobai, but he saw through him at a glance—this guy was feigning innocence.
On the surface, he appeared troubled, yet the very person who wanted to bring out the Sea-Calming Divine Needle the most was him. It was unclear what means he had to bring out another Sea-Calming Divine Needle.
“No matter, I am here; there will not be any danger. Young Master Li can simply let it out,” Liuren said with a light laugh. Though Li Xiaobai was tricky, she had yet to take him seriously. Without reaching her level, all tricks were useless and could easily be shattered by a single blow.
“However, to summon it, I would need a huge amount of top-quality Spirit Stones, which would also be a considerable burden for me,” Li Xiaobai continued with a troubled expression on his face.
“Who of you brought top-quality Spirit Stones? Take them out; the Eastern Sea will compensate you later!”
Liuren turned her head to look at the assembly of elders, her stern gaze flickering with threatening undertones.
“This old man was in a hurry when I left; I didn’t bring any…”
“It’s the same for me. Such items like Spirit Stones no longer have any effect on our cultivation,” the group of elders said with worried frowns, sensing an unpleasant premonition in their hearts. They had rushed all the way here; they couldn’t possibly be preparing a wedding dress for Li Xiaobai, could they?
In the end, who was actually here to take advantage of the situation?
