Chapter 1106: Chapter 1107: Getting Old is One Thing, Still Being Perverted is Another Chapter 1106: Chapter 1107: Getting Old is One Thing, Still Being Perverted is Another Within the Ice-Fire Taiji Spring, Li Xiaobai circled round and round, constantly weaving among the chosen talents, each person’s face brimming with a satisfied smile.
“Elder brother, do you require assistance? For five hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Stones, I can send you into that yin-yang balance point. How about it?”
“Esteemed elder brother, for just five hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Stones, I can help you overcome the difficulty and smoothly pass this first round of assessment!”
“Elder brother, we must triumph right from the starting line. As the saying goes, ‘All beginnings are hard.’ If you succeed in this challenging first round, why fear that you’ll lose in the subsequent arena contests?”
“Fellow Daoist, I remember you and that elder brother from before are rivals, always competing against each other. Look, he has now successfully entered the yin-yang balance point, his odds of clearing it are much higher than yours. Could it be that you also need my services? Just five hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Stones, no deception for young or old!”
Li Xiaobai cheerfully wandered among the cultivators, and in just a short moment, he had accumulated a pile of Space Rings in his hand, each containing five hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Stones. He had a good measure of these talents’ minds.
Talents all enjoy competing with each other. He only needed to give them a little push, and he could get these prodigies, one after another, to not fall behind, each completing a transaction with him, resulting in a chain of success.
A stick of incense quickly burned down. None of the remaining talents was eliminated, all thanks to Li Xiaobai’s efforts.
The elders and high-level members of the Great Sects were all watching closely. If their Sect Disciples encountered danger, they would rescue them at the first moment. It seemed somewhat unrealistic to hope to kill cultivators through the spring again, yet taking this opportunity to make a bit of money was not bad.
“Junior brother, you’ve made a killing!”
Liu Jinshui’s face showed envy, but alas, without the help of something divine like the System, he couldn’t move about freely in the spring, and merely resisting the attack of the molten lava took much effort. He could only watch with reddened eyes as Li Xiaobai continued to collect Immortal Stones.
This was indeed a lucrative business.
“F*ck, it’s all because Ol’ Fatty didn’t practice enough. Had I properly cultivated for a few more days, I’d definitely be able to move about with ease within the dual domains of ice and fire!”
Yang Chen had a look of surprise: “Junior brother’s cultivation level is probably no different from ours—quite formidable!”
Su Yunbing nodded, “He’s more resilient than you guys.”
“Time’s up!”
“Congratulations! Being able to last an incense candle’s time within the Ice-Fire Taiji Spring is quite good, and you have passed the first round of testing!”
The incense candle extinguished, and the Island Master stretched out her delicate jade hand in the air, and all the talented cultivators within the spring involuntarily floated up, landing on the shore, gasping heavily.
Just now, inside the spring, they had severely depleted their Immortal Yuan and Primordial Spirit Power—resisting the power of the spring water took too much effort.
“Many thanks to the Island Master!”
The cultivators breathed a sigh of relief, no longer wishing to enter the spring for a second time.
“The Ice-Fire Taiji Spring has eliminated quite a few disciples, significantly shortening the arena contest’s process. Next, it will be your turn to ascend the platform and draw lots to determine your opponents. We’ll meet on the arena in two hours.”
The Island Master said with a faint smile. She then, followed by the high-level members of the Ice Dragon Island, gracefully ascended to the arena above and began casting spells to form barriers.
Two hours of rest were sufficient for everyone to recover; they were only mentally exhausted and had not suffered substantial physical injuries, so recovering was easy.
“Han Buzhu, you caused the death of our clan’s talent, and now you must give us an explanation, or else, we will not let you off today!”
“You’re right. With such a loss to our clan, how do you plan to compensate?”
Upon seeing the Island Master leaving, many elders and high-level figures glared angrily with murderous intent. Their disciples’ deaths had a direct relation to this insidious youth before them.
“It’s their own foolishness. What does it have to do with me?”
“As the young master of the Icy Frost Sect, my every word and deed represents the honor of my family. With the elders being so aggressively pressing, are you implying that the Icy Frost Sect has no one capable?”
“As cultivators of the Icy Frost Sect, we need not explain our actions to others. If the esteemed elders have opinions, they are welcome to seek an explanation from the Icy Frost Sect!”
Li Xiaobai spoke indifferently, mentioning the Icy Frost Sect so slickly, as it was not his own sect after all, and the thought of having these old men fight one another was just perfect.
“Very well, very well, it has been a long time since I’ve seen such a characterful young man. When this matter is over, I shall personally visit the Icy Frost Sect!”
“Hmph, I shall bring the Family Head along and insist on an explanation from the Icy Frost Sect!”
“Joining forces among the various clans, we could easily destroy the Icy Frost Sect!”
A group of masters shouted angrily, finding the lad below too infuriating. They barely restrained themselves from striking out on the spot.
“It is natural for the disciples to be greatly distressed by the death of their Sect Disciples. The rest of us can understand that, but it’s better to focus on the tournament at hand for now. Let’s quietly watch and discuss any grievances after the competition is over, shall we?”
The Elder of the Blood Demon Sect stepped forward and spoke lightly, a glint of amusement in his eyes. He was pleased to see more talents fall; after all, all the major sects shared this sentiment.
“I notice that the Saint Heir of the Blood Demon Sect has an extraordinary bearing, showing the manner of nobility in every gesture. To achieve such heights at a young age, remarkable indeed!”
A master from the Hundred Flowers Sect said smilingly.
“That’s no match for the female disciples of the Hundred Flowers Sect.”
“The Five Poison Cult isn’t too shabby either.”
The Super Sect spoke, and the masters from other sects, holding back their anger, dared not interrupt the mutual business flattery among these behemoths.
The Elders had smiles on their faces, but inside they were cursing, infuriated that they initially thought only their Blood Demon Sect had Lin Yin, a powerful secret weapon. To their surprise, other major sects had also secretly acquired such talents without a whisper of it getting out, hidden so very deeply!
Beside the spring.
The cultivators rushed to make the most of their time to recover, preparing for the upcoming arena battle.
Without the heated verbal sparring of the elders and higher-ups, Li Xiaobai was bored stiff, fiddling with the Space Ring in his hand.
“Young friend, care for a Huazi?”
Suddenly, two aged figures appeared beside him, Yitilou and Yan Zuzi.
“Elder!”
“You honor us with your presence on Ice Dragon Island. May I ask what brings you here?”
Li Xiaobai offered them a pack of Huazi and inquired.
With no sense of propriety, Yitilou, always talking nonsense, said, “We came to participate in the martial arts tournament to seek marriage, but it seems that girl has something going on with you, lad, so we might as well give up.”
Yan Zuzi slapped him on the back, “We are here to see if any old acquaintances have come, and if we happen upon an enemy, to dispose of them properly.”
“Which enemy does the elder refer to?”
“We cannot speak of it; let’s talk about the marriage first. I have taken a fancy to a few girls, with faces and figures beyond reproach. I look forward to a good exchange with them on the arena.”
Yitilou waved his hand, his face full of a lecherous grin.
Li Xiaobai was speechless, “Elders at your age still need to seek marriage?”
With a hobby like that, Yitilou said, “If one were to live without desires, how dull that would be.”
Yan Zuzi glanced at him sideways, “Damn poverty is one thing, but to be old and still so damn lecherous!”
