Wang Baole grabbed a handful of his hair tightly, and a look of stubbornness and determination was apparent in his eyes. The more he failed at developing and researching the bead capable of storing the Mystic Trace Fog, the more indignant he felt.

He knew well that the bead would likely lose its function when he left the moon. However, it was his trump card within the Mystic Luna Realm. It was something that could allow him to move freely inside the realm.

If he met with a ferocious beast that was an inhabitant of the Mystic Luna Realm, he could use it on himself to escape; if he met with cultivators from other factions, he could use it on them and send them away.

A function like that set the value of the bead highly in Wang Baole’s heart.

If there were no progress from the start, it wouldn’t have bothered him. However, in the many teleportations, Wang Baole had made many improvements to the inscriptions as well as other adjustments on the bead such the bead could already absorb the fog into it. The only challenge was in storing the fog.

The bead could absorb the fog, but as soon as Wang Baole was being transported away, the fog within the bead would dissipate on its own, and that wasn’t what Wang Baole had envisioned.

I will definitely succeed in my research! Wang Baole was determined. He looked around him before charging towards a particular direction, activating his devouring seed to search for the fragments while adjusting the bead’s inscriptions. At the same time, he was also looking for the Mystic Trace Fog.

After researching the Mystic Trace Fog for the past month, Wang Baole gained an understanding and grasp of the Mystic Trace Fog. Typically, the Mystic Trace Fog was more likely to appear on lower ground.

Therefore, in the process of searching for the fragments, Wang Baole also neared areas of lower ground. He wanted to wait for the appearance of the Mystic Trace Fog so that he could test whether his creation would succeed.

Two days passed just like that. In those two days, Wang Baole had completed his improvements to the bead and made several different versions of it. As he was confidently searching for the Mystic Trace Fog, he was suddenly taken aback one evening as he was charging towards a low lying area. He hurriedly looked into the distance, to an area on his right side.

Even though he couldn’t see any changes with his naked eye, he could feel that in a location on the right, there was a shocking flow of Spirit Qi rising towards the skies. It was as if a huge torch had appeared in the middle of the night, and could be sensed by anyone who was within the region.

Wang Baole had experienced such movements of the Spirit Qi previously. He was clear that the movement wasn’t because there were fragments present in the area; rather, someone with fragments was in that area!

The only issue was that in the past, the movement of Spirit Qi that Wang Baole had experienced was only thirty to forty percent of what he experienced then. Such a significant movement of Spirit Qi like the one he was feeling was something new!

D*rn it! How many fragments are there? Even if there aren’t twenty, it would be close! Wang Baole took a deep breath. He felt incredulous and shocked after comparing what he experienced with the Spirit Qi that he was giving off.

He initially thought that he was very efficient, having made use of his devouring seed in the Mystic Luna Realm. Despite that, he had only found ten fragments suitable for Foundation Establishment. On the other hand, it seemed like someone in the area on the right was already extremely close to reaching Foundation Establishment stage.

That made Wang Baole somewhat troubled, as he instinctively grew vigilant. He was clear that something was amiss, as it was unusual. Therefore, he ditched his original idea to snatch and was about to leave when his eyes narrowed.

At that moment, in the direction where the astonishingly strong Spirit Qi was spreading from, the concentrated Spirit Qi source seemed to have sensed the Spirit Qi movement coming from Wang Baole. It changed its direction and was charging towards him!

A cold chill immediately flashed across Wang Baole’s eyes when he realized that, and he decided not to leave. Instead, he stood there, looking at the Spirit Qi source arrogantly.

Is this an attempt to rob me? That’s fine by me as well. If I eliminate him, I will have enough fragments myself! Wang Baole inhaled deeply, exercising his cultivation while warming up his body. He maintained his physical force at the highest level and ready to be unleashed, making the necessary preparations to attack later on.

It is not that I, Wang Baole, want to rob him. I am only protecting myself! Wang Baole sneered arrogantly, raising his head as he looked into the distance.

Soon, Wang Baole had made all the preparations. Dust was swept up in the area a distance away, and a crowd appeared before his eyes. Looking at them, it was as if Wang Baole had been struck by lightning as he was filled with shock and held his breath.

D*mn! Who are these people? Even though Wang Baole felt that he was already very well-read, he couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

There seemed to be forty or fifty people, with twenty-odd strong men positioned on the outside. Each of them had perfected True Breath realm cultivation, and every single one of them looked unfriendly. Their eyes carried an intention to kill, and it was clear that they were combat cultivators who were no strangers to battle.

In the middle of the group were twenty women dressed in different colors. They were also people who had perfected True Breath realm cultivation. What was most unbelievable was that as they surveyed their surroundings vigilantly, they were also activating their skills. There were Array Formation cultivators, Alchemy cultivators, as well as Beast Taming cultivators.

There were also three of them who were repairing their Numinous Treasures at the back of the group...

In the very center, protected by those fifty people, was a youth wearing flower-print pants and a flower-print top. He had a pair of aviators over his eyes and was lying lazily on a large chair.

The chair was carried on the back of an eighty-foot tall muscular ape. It was moving very quickly, advancing forward with the rest of the crowd...

They were the group protecting the young master of the Trilunaris Corporation!

Wang Baole was dumbfounded seeing that such a huge crowd had appeared in the Mystic Luna Realm, where danger was all around. His breathing was rapid, as such a huge crowd surprised him greatly.

This is... a tour for the scion? He’s having a party? Wang Baole stared with his eyes wide. The youth with the aviators appeared so laid back that Wang Baole felt that it was a mismatch for the atmosphere of the Mystic Luna Realm. He felt that the youth would fit in better if there were a beach, bikini ladies, and the blue sea instead.

At the same time, an extremely strong movement of Spirit Qi could be detected. After analyzing it, Wang Baole guessed that the number of fragments suitable for Foundation Establishment that the other party possessed was at least twenty, if not close.

What made Wang Baole jealous was that the women surrounding the youth were all beauties. Some were sheltering him with umbrellas, some were massaging his shoulders, and some were feeding him freshly peeled fruit.

Looking at him, and then back at himself, Wang Baole felt that he couldn’t compare to the youth no matter how confident he was. Wang Baole sighed deeply, turning right around and began to run away. There were too many of them, and Wang Baole felt that if he were to go against them head-on that he would definitely be robbed of all his possessions. He was filled with regret for acting like he was formidable and pretending that he wasn’t afraid as he waited for the other party to appear.

The moment Wang Baole turned to escape, the youth with the aviators lying on the chair hurriedly cried out.

“Fellow Daoist, please stay!”

His words caused twenty people to spread out and try to surround Wang Baole. Every single one of them carried a glow given off by the Numinous Treasures that they carried. With the added boost from the Numinous Treasures, all of them were not only fast but was also releasing a shocking amount of suppressive force. After sensing it, Wang Baole was shocked.

D*mn! Even the bodyguards are loaded! Wang Baole was indignant and extremely incredulous. It seems like the youth had never come across the Mystic Trace Fog in the Mystic Luna Realm. If not, it was impossible that there were still so many people with him, as they would have long been segregated.

As for the request for him to stay, Wang Baole pretended not to hear as he charged forward. A chill flashed across his eyes. If the bodyguards tried to block him, he would definitely battle it out with them.

Sensing the intention to kill that was given off from Wang Baole’s body, the youth took off his aviators. He continued lying there, revealing a genuine smile as he cried out once again.

“Fellow Daoist, do not be afraid and do not worry. Robbing is such a low-class tactic that I, Jin Duoming, would never use!

“At the Trilunaris Corporation, we base everything on fairness and reason!”

“I already have nineteen fragments for Foundation Establishment. I am only short of one, and since fate brought us together, list a price and sell me one!” The youth smiled confidently, as if negotiating a business deal. As he spoke, he even waved at Wang Baole.
