He didn’t believe anyone could resist the allure of this piece of Immortal Stone if he were to take it out.
Without hesitation, he put the Immortal Stone into his storage space and then lowered his head to look at the book. Only then did he realize that the stone he had found was merely a low-grade Immortal Stone. There were also middle-grade, high-grade, and top-grade Immortal Stones.
The low-grade Immortal Stones were azure, the middle-grade ones were pale yellow, the high-grade ones were red, and the top-grade ones were purple.
Even though it was just a low-grade Immortal Stone, it was still extremely precious. After all, logically speaking, these things should not appear in places like this. Moreover, it was precisely due to the presence of this Immortal Stone that the quality of this vein was so exaggerated.
Jiang Xiaobai fell into deep thought for a while.
Ever since he had crossed over to this continent, his understanding of the land was quite limited. He only knew very little.
Now that he had seen this Immortal Stone, Jiang Xiaobai felt something was wrong. However, it was quite clear that thinking about these unnecessary things was meaningless when he was currently unable to protect himself.
Shrugging his shoulders, Jiang Xiaobai stopped thinking and used the “Meandering Veins Record” to collect this vein directly. The moment he collected it, the majestic spiritual aura within the Nanshan Mountain began to dissipate.
It was like extinguishing a cigarette; the rising smoke would lose its source and eventually float away.
After doing all of this, an excited smile finally appeared on Jiang Xiaobai’s face. Sitting in the cave of the Black Bear Demon, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
After calming down his emotions, Jiang Xiaobai opened the system storage space. He wanted to see what good stuff he had just drawn.
There was one piece of pitch-black talisman quietly lying in the storage space. After checking it, Jiang Xiaobai was pleasantly surprised to find out that it was actually a defensive talisman.
It could instantly generate a protective shield once it was crushed, and it could withstand the striking force of the Dividing the Gods late peak stage without breaking.
“Hahahaha, this was not a wasted trip!”
Jiang Xiaobai laughed excitedly. This harvest was quite rich; he felt like his luck had increased a bit.
Jiang Xiaobai was in high spirits. He left the cave of the Black Bear Demon humming a tune, relishing the fresh, earthy air of the mountains. He felt refreshed and invigorated.
“Heh, take this!”
At this moment, a slightly chuuni voice sounded above Jiang Xiaobai’s head and black bands started attacking him.
In that instant, Jiang Xiaobai felt a painful sting all over his body, and instinctively, he reached for his sword.
Swish, swish.
The bands were cut easily as if they were tofu, and when they fell to the ground, they transformed into spiritual energy and dissipated.
Then peace was restored.
Jiang Xiaobai stood still for a good while, he knew that was an attack from the two dim-witted brothers. What surprised him was that those two had actually run away right after failing their ambush!
That’s so damn cheap!
“Are they really not giving me a chance?”
Jiang Xiaobai murmured to himself, looking at the band fragments on the ground that were disintegrating into spiritual energy, he felt a chill down his spine.
If it hadn’t been for the system reward of hundred years of cultivation experience he’d received just before, his battle senses wouldn’t have been this sharp and he could’ve been successfully ambushed.
After this battle, Jiang Xiaobai decided to enhance his abilities in this aspect in the future. In addition, he must also have life-saving and attacking techniques. If not, situations like today would be difficult to handle.
As soon as he made a move, the opponent found out that he was not a match for him and immediately fled. Jiang Xiaobai was left with no solution at all.
Shaking his head, Jiang Xiaobai leaped up, the matter here had already been settled, there was no need for him to stay any longer.
Just as he flew out of the Nanshan Mountain, suddenly, he saw seven or eight cultivators not far from the city gate of Spring Lake City.
The person in the lead was none other than Taoist Changfeng. Judging by his furious expression, it seemed as if he had come to stir up trouble!
At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly, following after them.
Inside Spring Lake City, all the residents were indulging in the joy of exterminating the monster, Li Muzhou and Sun Shouheng were getting drunk in the City Lord’s mansion.
Unexpectedly, this joyful atmosphere was suddenly broken by someone.
Taoist Changfeng, leading his people, directly invaded the City Lord’s mansion. His face was filled with dark and threatening fury as he stared at Sun Shouheng and Li Muzhou.
“Where is that kid? He caused my friend to lose an important treasure earlier, and I must hold him responsible. Call him over immediately!” bellowed Taoist
Changfeng.
This scene stunned everyone present in the City Lord’s mansion.
Sun Shouheng hurriedly stood up, “Sir, what do you mean by this?”
“Hmph, I don’t mean anything. I have only one purpose for coming here, to see that boy.” Taoist Changfeng snorted coldly.
He had lost face in the Nanshan Mountain today and he couldn’t swallow this insult. When he returned, he immediately gathered a few loose cultivators to give Jiang Xiaobai a good thrashing.
Although he was relatively angry, he still had to maintain the demeanor of a cultivator in the presence of mortals.
“Rest assured, this is a grudge between the boy and me. Since he is a Qi refining beginner, he is also a cultivator. This is a matter between cultivators and it won’t affect ordinary people.” Taoist Changfeng stated coldly.
Sun Shouheng and Li Muzhou looked at each other, and both saw the shock and confusion in each other’s eyes.
“I am not trying to keep anything from you, Sir, but that young man has already left for some reason,” bravely explained Li Muzhou.
“What, he ran away?”
Taoist Changfeng spat blood in anger, he didn’t expect this little bunny to be so vigilant and he had run away.
Earlier, in Nanshan, there were too many mortals around. Although he didn’t care about the mortals, he was a face-conscious cultivator. He couldn’t take action under those circumstances. Now that he’d found the perfect excuse, however, the person has run away?
Looking at Taoist Changfeng’s furious appearance, Sun Shouheng and Li Muzhou didn’t dare to breathe, fearing they’d enrage Taoist Changfeng and be eliminated by him on the spot.
At this moment, a burly man beside Taoist Changfeng snorted coldly, “Since he just left, we could still catch up. Do either of you know where the boy has gone?”
“I… we don’t know.” replied Sun Shouheng hastily.
“Hmph, then what use are you?”
The burly man snorted and raised his hand, as if ready to kill the two men on the spot. The hand of a cultivator upon a mortal was as simple as crushing an ant.
Sun Shouheng and Li Muzhou’s faces turned pale immediately, they closed their eyes awaiting their death. However, the anticipated attack didn’t come. The burly man’s hand hovered mid-air, unable to move further.
“Dammit, who’s causing trouble?” The burly man shouted back in anger.
At this point, a scholar-like figure entered the scene – it was none other than Jiang Xiaobai who had followed them.
“It’s you!” Taoist Changfeng recognized him immediately and shouted, “Brothers, it’s this kid.”
At once, the other cultivators turned their attention to Jiang Xiaobai, their faces showing cruel, cold smiles.
“Kid, didn’t think you’d have the guts to come back. You’re quite courageous, huh?” Taoist Changfeng smirked..
