Chapter 28 That’s it, let’s eat first
Li Wudao didn't speak, but suddenly looked at the outer disciple who was already dumbfounded.
"Senior Brother Li, spare me! I... they gave me ten low-grade spirit stones to cooperate in this act, I don't know anything else."
The outer disciple trembled all over and kept kowtowing.
What a joke! Even two disciples who have been following the teachings for a long time are no match for him. How could someone like him, a nobody, possibly provoke him?
He was filled with remorse. If he had known this would happen, he would never have gotten involved in this mess.
"roll--"
Seeing that his expression didn't seem fake, Li Wudao waved him away.
It's not worth wasting time with a nobody.
The disciple felt as if he had been granted a pardon, thanked him repeatedly, and scrambled away.
Subsequently,
Li Wudao turned his gaze back to the two of them.
Tang Yi and Deng Lin looked at him expectantly, like children who had made a mistake, barely daring to breathe.
"Remember to keep today's events a secret. Go back and think carefully about your explanation. Also, keep an eye on Ruan Fei's every move and report to me immediately if anything happens."
A cold glint flashed in Li Wudao's eyes.
"Furthermore, you must not reveal my true strength, understand?"
As the last word fell, the boy's voice turned colder.
"I understand...I understand!"
Tang Yi and Deng Lin nodded hurriedly, like chicks pecking at rice, their eyes as clear as babies'.
Where is the arrogant and domineering person he used to be?
Li Wudao nodded in satisfaction and then took out ten bottles of Replenishing Yuan Pills.
"For...for us? Thank you, Young Master Li!"
The two exchanged a glance, surprised and overjoyed.
"You'll get your share of the benefits if you work for me, so go ahead."
After saying this, Li Wudao turned and left.
When he first entered the sect, he also needed a few informants and helpers.
Although these two are not particularly strong, they are still usable for now.
Until Li Wudao had gone a long way,
Tang Yi and Deng Lincai snapped out of their daze and blinked in disbelief.
I thought I was doomed. Having offended such a monstrous talent, it was hard to say whether I could even leave the Xuantian Sect alive.
Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and we ended up with many benefits.
"Young Master Li is truly generous; he can casually produce ten bottles of Grade 5 spirit pills."
Tang Yi clicked his tongue.
With each grade of elixir, both its efficacy and price increase many times over.
A first-grade elixir can be bought for a few low-grade spirit stones, but a fifth-grade elixir requires at least one hundred low-grade spirit stones.
Roughly calculated, Li Wudao casually bestowed upon them more than a thousand low-grade spirit stones.
"Today is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune. Fortunately, we didn't offend Young Master Li to death. In fact, we should be glad that we can work under Young Master Li in the future."
Deng Lin sighed, revealing a look of relief at surviving a disaster.
"Let's go back and think of a way to fool that bastard Ruan Fei."
“That’s right. Since we are Young Master Li’s men, then Ruan Fei is our enemy. But we still need to keep a straight face to avoid arousing suspicion.”
The two walked away arm in arm, limping.
..........
Within the misty peaks and valleys.
Li Wudao walked in carrying a spirit herb chicken that he had bought halfway through the journey.
This type of chicken is a spiritual bird raised with spiritual herbs by the sect. Not only is its meat delicious, but it also contains pure spiritual energy, which is beneficial to cultivation.
At this moment, Xia Gucheng was lying on a rocking chair by the lake, holding a bamboo fishing rod in his hand, fishing.
"The old man really knows how to enjoy life..."
A hint of envy appeared in the boy's eyes.
In his previous life, he had struggled in the business world for more than ten years, witnessing too much intrigue and backstabbing, and was already tired of it.
I've long wanted to be a recluse, indulging in nature, enjoying poetry, wine, and rural life.
Unfortunately, fate did not give him the chance to experience it, and he was hastily transported to the Primordial Continent.
Shake off the jumbled thoughts,
Li Wudao strode forward and came to Xia Gucheng's side.
Before he could speak, the latter squinted and asked, "Finished?"
"It's over."
Li Wudao responded.
Which level did you pass?
Xia Gucheng held a fishing rod in his left hand and took out a wine gourd in his right hand, taking a delicious sip.
"Fifteenth floor."
"Hmm, fifteen floors isn't bad... Wait, how many floors?"
Xia Gucheng was drinking when he suddenly realized something, opened his eyes, and sat up abruptly.
He stopped fishing, and the wine gourd in his hand had fallen to the ground without him noticing.
"Fifteen floors? How come... is that too few?"
Li Wudao stroked his chin.
"this--"
After confirming it again and again, Xia Gucheng's heart was filled with turmoil, and his gaze toward the boy changed repeatedly.
He was only at the peak of the Blood Transformation Realm, yet he managed to defeat someone across an entire major realm. What kind of monstrous talent is this?
Even with his extensive experience, he had never heard of many such cases; they only existed in distant and vague records, their veracity unknown.
"What kind of monster have I taken in?"
Xia Gucheng's thoughts were churning as he constantly compared the geniuses of the Eastern Wilderness since the beginning of time.
In the end, however, it was discovered that none of the five top-tier sects in the Eastern Wilderness could compare to Li Wudao.
perhaps,
Only those princes and holy sons who have emerged from dynasties and holy lands that have stood for tens of thousands of years can be considered worthy of a fight.
"The Pure Yang Holy Body truly lives up to its reputation as a superior holy body; its combat strength is indeed incomparable to that of the King Body."
Xia Gucheng was filled with emotion.
Originally, I thought it would be good enough if Li Wudao could win by being two or three levels higher, but I never expected it to be so much better. I had greatly underestimated the power of the Holy Body.
He possesses the Gengjin Sword Body, which is considered top-tier among King-level physiques, making him extremely powerful in combat, but he can only fight against opponents two minor realms above him.
"Perhaps, young Li can really help me..."
In an instant, a variety of thoughts flashed through Xia Gucheng's mind.
But soon, he shook his head, and the glimmer of hope in his eyes faded.
"You brat, I'm going on a long trip, which could last a month or three to five months. You'd better focus on your cultivation and not slack off."
Xia Gucheng stood up, put his hands behind his back, and looked into the distance, seemingly lost in thought.
"Ah, old man, you're gone. What will happen to my cultivation resources?"
Li Wudao tried to squeeze some money out of him.
This old man is a Martial Emperor, after all; giving him any good stuff would be enough for him.
"No, figure it out yourself."
Xia Gucheng didn't give him a single copper coin, and simply vanished in a streak of light.
Li Wudao: "......"
"Fine, don't give it to me then, you stingy person."
Li Wudao grumbled and lay down on the rattan chair.
He stared blankly into the sky, feeling lost and dejected.
The best wool is gone!
Now, the cultivation resources he has left can only support the Pure Yang Holy Body to break through one minor realm.
Misty Peak, however, does not receive any allocated cultivation resources and can only rely on itself.
"After the breakthrough, I need to find a way to invest in a group of high-quality disciples, otherwise we really won't be able to make ends meet."
Li Wudao sighed.
He crossed his legs, gazing at the clear blue sky, his eyes flickering slightly.
just,
He noticed Xia Gucheng's slightly serious expression, and realized that his sudden trip away from home must be for something important.
"The old man seems to have something on his mind; this trip may not be peaceful..."
The young man looked thoughtful, his delicate features as beautiful as a painting, handsome and otherworldly.
However, he quickly forgot about that worry.
I'm a little worried, but not much.
Worried?
Like a burden.
After all, his nominal master was a Martial Emperor, and there should be very few people in the Eastern Wilderness who could threaten his life.
Besides, he has only just reached the Blood Realm, and those matters are not something he is qualified to interfere in.
"Forget it, that's it for now, let's eat first."
Li Wudao got up, picked up the chick, and walked excitedly towards the kitchen.
The sky is big and the earth is big, and eating is the biggest thing.
May you have chicken tonight, and may good fortune be with you!
The boy hummed softly, his mindset quickly returning to normal.
