“Wow! It tastes really really good!” Chen Xiaobei could not help himself and shouted excitedly.
Nothing he had eaten so far could compare to the taste of the Ginseng fruit.
That magical feeling of pure ‘foodgasm’ was indescribable. After the first bite, he could not stop eating.
Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!
It was so crisp and juicy. Before Chen Xiaobei could fully appreciate its deliciousness, the whole Ginseng Fruit had already disappeared down his throat!
At least he was a little better than Zhu Bajie; at least Chen Xiaobei managed to taste the the true flavour of it in its entirety.
“Alright! Next, let’s take a look at my lifespan!”
Chen Xiaobei accessed his Netherspirit Battlescouter.
Ding!
[Cultivation: Early phase of Celestial Cultivation; Lifespan: 5070 years; Health: 100,500; combat power, 80,100]
“Haha! My lifespan has increased! I can use the dark powers now!”
Chen Xiaobei immediately incited the Dark Neutron inside his heart and began to stir up the Dark Powers within!
“Rise!” Chen Xiaobei cried. His Celestial powers then raised the Beast Cores into the air.
“Burst!” Chen Xiaobei called out again, and the Beast Cores that were hovering in the air began to crack open, releasing its Beast Essence.
Chen Xiaobei took in a deep breath and sucked in all of the Beast Essence into his body.
The Beast Cores Gu Congwen had bought for him, combined with the ones he already had, could increase his combat power by 162,000.
Of course, it would not increase all at once. The absorption would take quite a while.
Without using the Sunlight Cache, it would take about seven to eight days. It felt like decades to Chen Xiaoebi.
“I cannot waste a second! I need to get back and head to Black Desert in three days!”
Chen Xiaobei crossed his legs and began to cultivate.
He used the Scripture of Heaven and Earth, of course. That way, the Beast Essences became like Spiritual Qi and it would enhance his cultivation slowly.
Of course, using the Dark Powers to absorb the Beast Essences would double the effect!
It took him a full 72 hours.
Chen Xiaobei had absorbed a portion of the Beast Cores, and his combat power and health had increased by 7,200 points.
After a rough calculation of his combat power, Chen Xiaobei decided to round up the numbers and continued to cultivate for another 3 hours.
After three hours…
“Phew.” Chen Xiaobei breathed out a mouthful of filthy Qi, and opened his eyes. He felt refreshed and rejuvenated.
“Let me check my progress!” Chen Xiaobei was very eager.
Ding!
[Cultivation: Early phase of Celestial Cultivation. Lifespan: 70 years; Health: 100,800; combat power, 87,600]
“F*ck! I only have 70 years left!” Chen Xiaobei felt sour. The supposedly super abundant and inexhaustible years that he had only three days and three hours ago had dwindled just like that. This was all thanks to the idiot Primordial Lord of Heaven who had changed the rules. How frustrating!
“Luckily, there are no changes to my cultivation rate! It’s already twice the efficiency of using Spiritual Stones. I’ve already gotten the best part of the bargain.”
But Chen Xiaobei did waste time dwelling on the issue. Even though so much of his life was used up, he had gotten twice the result with half the effort.
Storing so much life was useless anyway. He might as well turn them into cultivation, which was much more practical.
All in all, the 5,000 years was worth spending!
“87,600 combat power. With the Primordial Witch King Combat Enhancement Training Manual, I could wield 113,880 combat power!” Chen Xiaobei calculated. “But because of the limitation of my health, it is reduced to 108,000 combat power! I have to figure out a better and faster way to increase my health! I’m missing out on so much combat power because of the limitation! That’s not worth it at all! Hmm, I did get a lot of Spiritual Items from the Penglai Faction treasury though. If I use Xiao’er’s Special Ability, my health can be increased very quickly. But the problem is that every time I use it, I will fall into deep sleep. I need to return to Bei Xuan Faction tomorrow. There’s no time to sleep! I don’t have enough life to use the Daylight Cache. If I had enough, then this would not have been a problem! I better send a text to Old Leader and tell him to hurry up and upload more chapters already! F*ck, he’s simply too slow!”
Back in Bei Xuan Faction.
Luo Puti was already waiting for him. Once Chen Xiaobei arrived, she dragged him to the airport without so much as a hello.
“My darling wife, why are you in such a rush? I didn’t even have time to catch my breath!”
It looked like Chen Xiaobei would only get his rest when they got on the plane.
“Are you really asking that question?! Today is the day we agreed to meet Kunlun Faction’s Zhuo Qunfeng! If we’re late, they’ll leave without us! We have also prepared nothing!” Luo Puti said, the look on her face could have frozen hell over.
Chen Xiaobei looked at her. She was wearing a denim set and a pair of canvas shoes. She really was not prepared for the desert.
“Don’t worry. They won’t leave without us.” Chen Xiaobei shrugged. “At least Zhuo Qunfeng won’t!”
“Excuse me, he’s the young master of a top-tier ancient faction. Do you really think that he would just sit there patiently, waiting for us to arrive?”
“Is the young master’s fists as big as mine?!”
“…” Luo Puti was speechless.
The last time Zhuo Qunfeng put on the ‘young master’ attitude in front of Chen Xiaobei, he was taught a very painful lesson.
The other expedition members might leave but Zhuo Qunfeng would definitely not.
“You are overthinking it. When it’s comes to your parents, your IQ reverts back to zero. From now on, don’t think too much. Listen to me, and I promise that everything will go smoothly!” Chen Xiaobei said.
“You’re the one with zero IQ! Humph!”
Luo Puti turned away and ignored him all the way to the airport.
She knew that when it came to her parents, she would lose her cool and her common sense. She would often act on impulse and even make stupid decisions.
Her silence proved that she accepted Chen Xiaobei’s words and was ready to completely rely on Chen Xiaobei and listen to him.
This was an incredibly difficult concession for an ice queen.
Xijiang Airport.
When they exited the pathway, they saw that everything was as Chen Xiaobei had predicted.
Zhuo Qunfeng was waiting for them with a beautiful woman next to him. He dared not leave without them.
On top of that, Zhao Qunfeng’s grandfather had reminded him over and over again to foster a good relationship Chen Xiaobei. How could Zhuo Qunfeng let an opportunity like that go to waste?
“Mr. Chen! Ms. Luo! Welcome to Xijiang!” Zhuo Qunfeng greeted them warmly, “Let me introduce to you to our Kunlun Faction Fifth Elder’s granddaughter, Wang Mengyu. We’ve been friends since we were children!”
“How are you?” Luo Puti put out a hand politely, doing her best to appear friendly.
“Humph!”
Wang Mengyu looked sideways at Luo Puti and ignored her outstretched arm. Seemingly, they were treating each other like enemies.
Chen Xiaobei narrowed his eyes, preparing to counterattack on the sly.
“Wow! It tastes really really good!” Chen Xiaobei could not help himself and shouted excitedly.
