BXBX NOVEL Chapter 43 - 43 – The Main Event
With a special rhythm, he knocked at the store. Within a few seconds, the door was quickly opened. From the speed and force of the door being opened, it was clear that the person opening the door was very excited.
“Master!”
Hu Sheng’s face flushed, his head dripping with sweat, his eyes filled with excitement.
From his appearance, it seemed that he had been training his physique just now.
Jiang Xiaobai nodded and entered the shop, examining Hu Sheng carefully.
The boy used to roam the streets, skinny as a rake. Before Jiang Xiaobai left last time, he left a lot of spiritual medicines and pills for the boy to take care of his body.
After only a few days, Hu Sheng’s face was no longer sickly pale but rather flushed, and his figure had also grown sturdy.
Hu Sheng was in awe of Jiang Xiaobai who gave him a second life. As he excitedly greeted the arrival of Jiang Xiaobai, he began to talk about the recent events.
As Jiang Xiaobai had taken action publicly before, everyone around knew that this shop belonged to an immortal. Where would they dare to bully anyone? Normally, everyone would help Hu Sheng as much as they could, treating him kindly.
After carefully assessing Hu Sheng’s situation, Jiang Xiaobai nodded with satisfaction. The boy had a good constitution. After recovering in just a few days, he was ready to begin absorbing Qi into his body.
Jiang Xiaobai may not understand much about instructing people to cultivate, but he had plenty of money and brute force.
He was not stingy when it came to pouring all sorts of beneficial elixirs into someone. He gave the Qi-attracting technique that Elder Three had given him to Hu Sheng. After giving some advice, Jiang Xiaobai walked to the room in the backyard.
Sitting on a chair, Jiang Xiaobai took off the mask on his face and a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
His trip to the Golden Pavilion was simple – to bait a fish. Now that he had the bait, he only had to wait for the fish to bite.
In Jiang Xiaobai’s plan, the Golden Pavilion was not just a tool to spread the name of the elixir. Quite the contrary, Jiang Xiaobai wanted to cultivate the Golden Pavilion into his own power.
In the future, the Golden Pavilion would lend considerable assistance no matter what he did.
The elixir was the best method to cultivate. He believed that as long as the master behind the Golden Pavilion was not brain-dead, he could rise quickly through the elixir.
The rising Golden Pavilion would not provide little help.
In Jiang Xiaobai’s opinion, although going solo is worry-free, it’s not always convenient. What is more relaxing than having a bunch of workers helping you?
Sitting on the chair, Jiang Xiaobai cleared his mind, then took out the jade slip that Qian Dabao gave him before.
Jiang Xiaobai wanted to know those interesting facts and stories, which are for finding good mines, or even earth veins through “Meandering Veins Record”.
The easy-to-find ones have naturally been discovered by others already. What he needed to do was to combine the two, looking for more concealed mines through some minor details.
This way, the success rate would be a little higher.
Sure enough, under his inspection, he found some traces from many interesting facts and stories.
One record mentioned that 23 years ago, three thousand miles east of Tianyuan City, the spiritual energy was sometimes dense and sometimes thin, which seemed to indicate that there was treasure in the area.
However, upon exploration by unique individuals, it was discovered that the cause was a cave left by a strong person. Those individuals dug three feet into the ground and exhausted all means, but they didn’t find any trace of a mine.
However, Jiang Xiaobai had the “Meandering Veins Record”. He clearly knew that that place probably had a spiritual stone mine. Others might not find it, but it doesn’t mean he wouldn’t.
As long as he brought the “Meandering Veins Record” with him, it would find it by itself.
“Sure enough, having someone work for you is always better than going solo. I must prioritize getting the Golden Pavilion on my side, ” Jiang Xiaobai murmured to himself, recording this clue and continuing to browse the information in the jade slip.
Hundreds of years’ worth of interesting facts were all enlisted within, Jiang Xiaobai only managed to go through one-tenth of it even after a full day’s reading.
After massaging his aching head and noticing that the day was almost over, Jiang Xiaobai left some pills and money for Hu Sheng before leaving the shop and heading for the Floral Building.
As soon as he arrived, he witnessed a spectacular scene.
On an outdoor terrace of the Floral Building, Ao Cheng was surrounded by dozens of seductive and enchanting women. While laughing uproariously, he drank and enjoyed the service of the women.
He truly embodied the essence of a wastrel, reveling in the pleasures of life.
Jiang Xiaobai wanted that kind of happiness too, but thinking about the mother tyrannosaurus in Long Valley, his back shivered a bit.
He believed that if he dared to step into the Floral Building, he definitely would not make it back to Dragon Valley.
If he went back, he would be beaten. Why go back?
Shaking his head, he grabbed a nearby servant of the Floral Building, having him forward a message to Ao Cheng.
Soon enough, Ao Cheng’s head popped out from the balcony railing.
“It’s about time you showed up. Come on, now is the perfect time to go to that place!”
Ao Cheng, holding a courtesan, laughed, pinching the courtesan’s soft cheek and said, “Xiao YanZhi, I have to leave now, don’t miss me too much now.”
“Sir, stop talking nonsense.” The courtesan shyly stomped her foot in coquettish anger.
Ao Cheng burst into laughter again, and then jumped down from the terrace. Putting his arm over Jiang Xiaobai’s shoulder, he led him towards a certain direction.
With such casualness, he left behind a group of sighing women.
“You sure know how to enjoy yourself, don’t you bother to spend more time with your Xiao YanZhi?” Jiang Xiaobai remarked disapprovingly.
Ao Cheng casually waved his hand, “What’s there to spend time with them? They’re just ordinary women. I only go there for fun.”
“Never mind that, Jiang Xiaobai, where I’m taking you is the real show today.”
Ao Cheng grinned mysteriously, “Once you’ve been there, you’ll know that those women in Floral Building are nothing.”
Jiang Xiaobai scoffed, “The place you are taking me to wouldn’t happen to be another brothel, would it?”
“Absurd, I would never dare to bring you there. My sister would probably break both your legs and mine if I did,” Ao Cheng laughed, “Don’t worry, when we get there, you’ll know what a good place it is.”
Under Ao Cheng’s mysterious guidance, the two of them soon arrived beside a lake. It was a moonlit night, and the outskirts of the lake were crowded with people, all looking and pointing at something in the distance.
This scene was quite spectacular.
“We’ve arrived. Once every three months, the wait has been hard on me,” Ao Cheng said, walking towards the back of the crowd, shouting.
“Clear out, all of you.. This is my spot, who let you bunch of useless lackeys stand here?”
