BXBX NOVEL Chapter 463: 464 Ambitions and Vision
This Huazi actually purified the impurities within her body, not only the toxins in her internal organs but even the impurities within her Primordial Spirit had been cleansed.
Her Spiritual Platform became clear and bright; her entire being felt refreshed and invigorated, her eyes sparkling with animation. Places where she had felt fettered in past battles now felt swept clean and bright as day.
Her perception of the world seemed to have risen to a new height.
Most importantly, she was a front-line cultivator, and this Huazi made her experience such significant effects that it seemed more precious than ancestral Divine Artifacts. She would believe it if someone said these elixirs were thrown down from the Upper Realm.
However, all these feelings were transient. Once Huazi was smoked, this profound sensation vanished in an instant, only leaving behind traces of cleansing within her body to tell the tale of the recent experience.
“Young Master Li, this item called Huazi is too miraculous; it can actually enhance one’s comprehension. With this aid, the overall strength of the frontier cultivators will surely increase significantly!”
“The Eastern Sea is willing to trade treasures for Young Master Li’s refining method, and we will immediately start mass production to support the frontier!”
Liuren regained her composure, her beautiful eyes flashing with excitement. In just a few short breaths, Xiaobai had given her too many surprises.
“Ahem, Senior Liuren, Young Master Li has already started mass producing this item. Nowadays, almost every cultivator in the frontier has a packet,” Yang Guang said somewhat awkwardly, as these were things Xiaobai had thought of before.
“Could it be those shops in the city as well?”
The shock in Liuren’s eyes deepened. It was unfathomable to her that a single person could amass such wealth and resources to afford the daily expenses of all the cultivators on the frontier.
“Indeed, the fine goods shops in the city are where Huazi is sold—one supreme quality Spirit Stone for a packet of Huazi. As for the refining method, I’m afraid that won’t be possible. Only Huazi personally made by me has such miraculous effects, for no other reason than ‘will alone’!” Xiaobai said with a light smile.
“One supreme quality Spirit Stone for a packet of Huazi?”
“That cheap?”
“Young Master Li, you’re practically operating at a loss for the benefit of others!”
Liuren found herself at a loss for words. She really wanted to obtain the method to make Huazi, but after hearing about Xiaobai’s actions, she immediately discarded any thoughts of forcibly taking it.
Such treasures would go for a sky-high price at auction, even for just a single piece, let alone a packet.
To think that it’s selling for one supreme quality Spirit Stone per packet in the frontier, the price is incredibly low, almost like it’s for the common people. It’s not hard to imagine that Xiaobai is deliberately selling at a loss for the frontier cultivators.
The goal is to substantially improve the defensive strength of the frontier, to contribute to the human race.
With such broad-mindedness and vision, she was too busy admiring to consider any brute force.
“Haha, it’s my bounden duty to contribute to the cultivators of the human race, Senior Liuren, you flatter me,” Xiaobai said as he waved his hand, openly accepting the other’s respect.
He hadn’t raised the price of Huazi, feeling quite benevolent already. These cultivators indeed should be grateful to him. Although the cost price within the merchant city was just one superior quality Spirit Stone per packet—a cabbage price—no one would know as long as he didn’t tell.
Given the effects of Huazi, selling it for one hundred supreme quality Spirit Stones per packet wouldn’t be too much.
But for now, the focus was on securing the market first, stabilizing the storefronts before considering any price hikes.
“Young Master Li’s generosity is commendable!”
Liuren praised sincerely with his heart.
“Given the large-scale revival of Flesh Mountain in the borderlands, having resources that can enhance understanding and cultivation level is a great boon. With them, the chances of surviving on the battlefield will greatly increase. Young Master Li’s arrival is truly a blessing for the borderlands!”
“Hehe, senior certainly flatters me too much, but there is one thing you’ve got wrong. Nowadays in the borderland battlefields, as long as the Mahayana Realm Flesh Mountain doesn’t appear, cultivators won’t be in any danger,”
Li Xiaobai said with a chuckling smile.
“Why is that?”
Liuren was somewhat curious. There were too many secrets about Li Xiaobai, and at this moment, she understood why those ancient ancestors wanted to capture him. Any one of these numerous secrets could benefit a sect immensely; she would be tempted too in their place.
However, for such ambitious individuals, she maintained a good cooperative attitude. Although she did not consider herself very smart, she understood that she had to treat nearly monstrous geniuses well.
It wasn’t just about the present, but investing in the future.
To treat a young prodigy with limitless prospects well now, could mean if he didn’t die young, he would surely bless these lands in the future, and perhaps even provide protection for the Eastern Sea after ascending to the Upper Realm.
“Believe senior has also noticed, this Huazi has the function of cleansing the human Primordial Spirit, while the attack method of Flesh Mountain is to erode the mind and spirit.”
Li Xiaobai spoke slowly.
“Are you saying that this Huazi…”
Liuren seemed to have understood something.
“Exactly, this Huazi can resist the Blood Qi emitted by Flesh Mountain!”
Li Xiaobai nodded in affirmation.
“Hiss!”
“Is it really so?”
Liuren drew in a breath of cold air. Able to enhance understanding, cleanse the dross from within, and even combat the soul-eroding aura of Flesh Mountain, the effects of this Huazi were almost too powerful. What kind of Heaven and Earth Treasures were used to refine it?
But where could one find so many Heaven and Earth Treasures in this world, and how did Li Xiaobai manage to mass-produce them?
It truly was beyond belief.
“If senior is willing, I can also set up shops in Aolai Country of the Eastern Sea, offering ten percent of the profits to the Eastern Sea as rental fee,”
Li Xiaobai persuaded gently as he continued. It was his wish to spread his stores across the Mainland, and if he had the Vice Leader as his backing, he wouldn’t need to worry about anything and could go all out.
“Are you serious?”
“If Young Master Li is willing to cooperate with the Eastern Sea, we in the Eastern Sea welcome you wholeheartedly!”
A flicker of excitement passed through Liuren’s eyes. She hadn’t spoken up earlier because she couldn’t gauge Li Xiaobai’s intentions. Now that he was willing to proactively open shops in the Eastern Sea, it matched her wishes perfectly.
Some things couldn’t be stated openly. Since Li Xiaobai was unwilling to hand over the formula, she couldn’t forcefully take it. However, purchasing a few packs of Huazi to take back for their own research was also viable. She believed that, with the strength and resources of the Eastern Sea, deciphering the materials wouldn’t be too difficult.
“Then it’s settled,”
Li Xiaobai nodded.
“I’ll take care of the shop matters personally. It’s the cultivators of the Eastern Sea’s good fortune that Young Master Li is willing to open shops in our region.”
“Now that this matter is settled, I invite you to visit the Eastern Sea with me. My elder sister and younger sister are also very curious about the second Sea-Calming Divine Needle in Young Master Li’s possession.”
