476 Chapter 477: Heading to the Eastern Sea
"I dare to ask how the seniors usually train their physical bodies, so that they can polish their bodies to be as crystal clear and translucent as yours!"
"Indeed, indeed, this isn't a physical body at all; it's clearly a set of gemstones!"
"From a distance, I thought it would glow, and with the airflow of Dao around it, even from a great distance, I can feel the earth-shattering power within!"
"Please teach me, senior!"
A group of excited young people asked with faces full of admiration.
"Hehe, the key is to temper oneself in all kinds of dangerous environments. The more you experience, the more you will gradually shape the most suitable body for fighting," said an elder with a beaming smile, extremely pleased with everyone's attitude. Sometimes, life is just that simple and unadorned.
...
On the other side, Li Xiaobai was preparing his trip to the Eastern Sea. The shop in the borderland had stabilized. He left Yang Guang in charge, who would not covet his Spirit Stones.
At that moment, he was in his room, counting the Spirit Stones he had earned in this period.
Four cities, plus the shops in the Holy City, had brought in more than thirty million high-quality Spirit Stones. With previous savings and contributions from others, his assets had exceeded a hundred million.
This was definitely a sky-high fortune, something that even a family clan with a history of hundreds of years might not be able to match in resources.
Piles of high-quality Spirit Stones were neatly arranged on the ground, causing Ergouzi's eyes to turn red with greed, wishing it could pounce on them and swallow them whole.
"Woof, kid, let Lord Ergouzi help you count them."
Ergouzi, tongue out, scampered towards the pile of Spirit Stones. Li Xiaobai shot it a glance and kicked it away with one foot.
"Don't make trouble, they're all mine!"
"Woof, kid, Lord Ergouzi has shared so many secrets with you, it's only right that there's a share of the credit for me here!"
Ergouzi was relentless and started tearing and biting at the Spirit Stones on the ground.
Li Xiaobai's wrist flicked, and all the Spirit Stones were collected into the Space Ring.
"Giggle, you silly dog, what use do you have for Spirit Stones? Giving them to you would be a waste of resources!" said Ji Wuqing dismissively from the side.
Li Xiaobai turned his head to look over, Ji Wuqing was quietly lying there, without any abnormal behavior.
A hint of cold light flashed in his eyes. Li Xiaobai walked over to Ji Wuqing without a word, lifted the chicken upside down, and shook it in the air.
"Ding ding clang clang!"
One after another, high-quality Spirit Stones fell to the ground, easily numbering in the hundreds. If one didn't see it with their own eyes, they would hardly believe this broken chicken could hide so much.
"Giggle, kid, all these are my private stash!" Ji Wuqing still retorted defiantly.
"Woof, you rotten chicken, how dare you play dirty, where's the integrity!" Ergouzi's eyes shot fire, instantly bristling with anger, and it lunged at Ji Wuqing, tearing away. For a moment, the room was a scene of chickens flying and dogs leaping.
"Young Master Li, I have sent back the message; at this moment, both my third sister and elder sister are waiting in Aolai Country." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Liuren knocked on the door and spoke.
"Senior, you've taken great pains. I am setting out on my journey. As for the two of you, given your strength is still too weak, you should first hone it on the frontier. Only when you've reached the Peak of the Mahayana Realm, will you be eligible to accompany me."
Li Xiaobai spoke slowly to Ergouzi and Ji Wuqing.
"Tsch, boasting is one thing he's good at, and he only gets to show off in front of us."
Ergouzi secretly scorned in his heart, filled with disdain for Li Xiaobai.
"Giggle, indeed, as the successor to the Phoenix, reaching the Mahayana Realm is just a matter of grasping. Once my cultivation level surpasses these two, I must press them firmly under me!"
The light in Ji Wuqing's eyes flickered. She had no interest in the Eastern Sea; taking a bath and puffing on Huazi was the fastest way to enhance her strength.
Seeing the two little ones had no reaction, Li Xiaobai shook his head and left with Liuren.
After trekking a long distance with Liuren, Li Xiaobai truly understood what a real powerhouse was. With just one hand on his shoulder, Liuren took a step forward, and worlds seemed to turn and shake. When Li Xiaobai came to his senses, he was no longer on the frontier.
After carefully recognizing his surroundings, Li Xiaobai felt a chill down his spine. He was now outside Tianfeng City; a casual step had taken him across the frontier and directly into Central Province, which was indeed astonishing.
"Senior, your Divine Skills are awe-inspiring. Truly unfathomable. To travel thousands of miles in one step is something my peers cannot imagine."
Li Xiaobai could not help but marvel. Great Divine Power was indeed convenient. Even driving a sports car, it would have taken him a few hours to arrive, but Liuren had reached in an instant; no wonder her support was so swift when she came to the frontier.
Could it be that she rushed over immediately after receiving the message?
"Just a trivial skill, moving shadows, shrinking lands, these are but superficial applications of the profound cultivation path. True shrinking land to an inch can mean the world within reach; when one steps forward, even the ends of the earth can be reached in a blink."
Liuren waved her hand and spoke as if it wasn't a big deal; to her, these were just trivialities, everyday matters not worth showing off.
Touching Li Xiaobai's shoulder again with a casual movement, the familiar sensation surged up once more. The scene in front of them whirled, became blurred, and when he collected his thoughts, his feet were already over a sea area.
The cool, refreshing air mixed with the unique briny scent of seawater washed over him, inducing a sense of exhilaration.
This was a bay, with numerous ships moored around it; trade caravans were constantly coming and going. Li Xiaobai surveyed the surroundings; this should be where Central Province meets the sea, a place he seldom visited since it was near the sea where cultivators didn't reside.
Towards the Sea Clan cultivators from the ocean, the human race felt apprehensive, only merchant caravans and some family scions would frequently go to sea and come back from the sea.
The port was bustling with stalls, trading in sea goods. Some were resources from the ocean, some were weapons and Magic Treasures of the Sea Clan cultivators; but the most common were materials from oceanic Demonic Beasts. In short, the merchandise here was diverse and wide-ranging.
The cultivators running the stalls each had substantial strength; to be able to fight in the sea area and successfully bring resources back, none was an easy character to deal with.
"Young Master Li, the Eastern Sea has its own rules. Anyone who wishes to go to the Eastern Sea can only take the water route; direct entry into Aolai Country using cultivation power is not allowed, even I am no exception, or else it will be seen as hostile espionage."
"I'll go and negotiate with the boat owner. Please wait here, Young Master Li, and do not wander off," said Liuren before leaving.
Li Xiaobai, bored, caught a glimpse of an unoccupied stall out of the corner of his eye, and his expression brightened. He walked over immediately.
"Excuse me, how much for a stall space here?"
