BXBX NOVEL Chapter 599: 600: Sending Warmth
Bathhouse?
The young man in white looked back in astonishment at the person behind him.
It was also a young man, holding a pile of bizarrely shaped stones, smiling at him.
Upon seeing this person, the young man’s eyeballs immediately turned red, and the veins on his neck bulged dangerously, almost losing control.
“Li Xiaobai!”
“It’s you!”
“I could have passed the trials and taken part in the grand competition for a great future, but now, you’ve ruined it all!”
The young man burst into a wild rage, wishing he could tear the person before him to pieces, eat his flesh, and drink his blood to quench the hatred in his heart.
It was because this bastard had provoked the Great Elder without reason that he had faced such a nightmarish start. The allotted time wasn’t even half over, and he was already struggling to hold on. His grand dreams and ambitious aspirations were on the verge of coming to an end.
“Hehe, brother, don’t be angry. I see by your expression that probably your Dantian is already empty of Spiritual Power, and the elixirs on you for recovery are nearly exhausted, right or not?”
Li Xiaobai asked cheerfully.
“So what if it is?”
“Did you come here just to mock me?”
“You have the wrong man. Although I may come from a smaller clan, I too have my dignity. Even if it means death, I will hold out until the very last second!”
The young man in white’s complexion grew dark, and any thoughts of surrendering were completely wiped from his mind.
“Not at all, not at all. I am here to bring warmth. Have you ever heard of Premium Soup Product?”
“The water source found between these small stones comes from the Premium Soup Product bathhouse. Just a light touch will quickly grow your Spiritual Power, enough to relieve your current awkward plight.”
Li Xiaobai extended the mini version of Premium Soup Product toward the young cultivator, saying with a big laugh.
“This is Premium Soup Product?”
“The magical shop established by the three major families?”
The young man in white stared at the dark block before him, momentarily stunned. He had certainly heard of the renowned Premium Soup Product, which could dramatically increase one’s Dantian Spiritual Power without the need for arduous cultivation, just by soaking oneself in it.
But this crookedly assembled block before him didn’t seem to fit with the image of the Divine Artifact in his mind.
Is this really Premium Soup Product?
The young man in white looked at it skeptically. Testing the waters, he dipped a finger in, and in a flash, his entire body trembled violently. The Dantian, which was nearly depleted, suddenly surged with a layer of Spiritual Power, alleviating the immediate crisis. It was like rain after a long drought!
“This really is Premium Soup Product!”
The young man’s breathing became rapid, wanting to continue soaking, but Li Xiaobai pushed him away and asked with a broad smile, “How about it? If you could get this object, surely surviving for the time of an incense stick wouldn’t be a problem, right?”
“Tell me, how many Spirit Stones?”
The young man in white asked.
“Brother, you’re quite straightforward. Ten thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, no deceit to old or young.”
Li Xiaobai said enthusiastically.
“Ten thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, why don’t you just rob someone!”
The young man’s eyes widened in disbelief, incredulous at the exorbitant price. How could the other person say such a figure so casually?
Rob? Why rob when a legitimate trade is quicker?
Li Xiaobai thought disdainfully but kept a cheerful smile on his face, “Brother, with these ten thousand, you’re not only buying Premium Soup Product but also buying an opportunity!”
“`
“Don’t you want to step onto the stage and compete?”
“Don’t you want to stand out from the crowd?”
“Don’t you want to surpass the multitude of geniuses and make a name for yourself?”
“As long as you purchase it, you’ll be one step closer to success!”
The young man in white looked conflicted, his eyes shimmering with struggle. Indeed, he couldn’t fall here; he had to stand out and make a name for himself. Suddenly, he made up his mind and gritted his teeth, “I’ll buy it!”
A few breaths later.
Li Xiaobai had an extra top-grade Spirit Stone in his hand, his face brimming with joy as he moved on to the next genius.
“Brother, I’m here to bring warmth!”
The Great Elder looked at the rushing figure on the stage, his eyes filled with confusion, not understanding what the other party was up to with all the bottles and jars.
Situ Guixiong and the others were also gazing blankly at every move the other party made. Li Xiaobai kept moving among the cultivators, seemingly conducting some kind of transaction, and all the cultivators who received that strange brick showed a relieved expression.
The previously overwhelming pressure that had pushed them to the limit was suddenly gone. What was going on? Could it be that Li Xiaobai was trading some sort of magical elixir?
Situ Guixiong felt a strange sense of familiarity washing over him. This scene—it seemed not unfamiliar to him!
Long Xue watched the commotion on the stage with clarity in her heart. Indeed, Li Xiaobai was not at all afraid of the pressure; there was no way he would stop at the third floor of Linglong Pagoda. Everything was just an act from the other party, that unfamiliar and mysterious cultivator must be Li Xiaobai without a doubt.
The Family Heads on the high platform were equally puzzled.
The trial was going well, and they were about to eliminate a batch of disciples, so why was Li Xiaobai causing trouble at this critical moment?
Moreover, it seemed that any disciple who made a transaction with him was rejuvenated, no longer stumbling and about to fall as before.
“What’s going on here?”
“What is Li Xiaobai up to now?”
“What elixir has he given those disciples that they all look so revitalized?”
“This guy is just here to cause trouble, disrupting the pace of the competition—a stick in the mud!”
The Family Heads were seething with anger. The competition among the disciples was also a struggle between them, and naturally, they hoped their own disciples would stay and that other Family disciples would be eliminated.
But now, those disciples with the worst talent and lowest cultivation level were all spirited and vibrant, completely destroying the balance of the trial.
“Hehe, don’t be angry, Young Master Li hasn’t broken any rules.”
“Yeah, it seems to me that some people are just sour grapes because they can’t get what they want.”
A hint of mockery flashed in the eyes of the high-ranking Elders of the three major clans, and their words were full of scorn.
As partners of Li Xiaobai, they could tell at a glance what the stone in his hand was. With the aid of Premium Soup Product, the disciples’ Spiritual Power would recover at an astonishing rate.
With this positive experience, these Family disciples were sure to become regular customers, unable to stay away from the bathhouse treatments.
“Hmph, always resorting to clever tricks!”
A fleeting shadow of darkness passed through Elder Su’s eyes, and he said no more. In his view, the three major families were already dead and not worth arguing with.
On the stage.
Li Xiaobai was very patient, answering questions and conducting transactions for the numerous cultivators. The number of Space Rings in his hand was also increasing.
Ten thousand top-grade Spirit Stones for each cultivator might not seem like much, but with over a hundred disciples on the stage, making transactions with all of them would accumulate a million top-grade Spirit Stones in his hands—a considerable deal indeed.
Passing by rows of cultivators, Li Xiaobai’s eyes shifted, looking towards the cultivator sitting at the center of everyone.
“Brother Situ, I’ve come to bring you warmth!”
