Chapter 462: Chapter 463 Shocked Vice Leader
“Young Master Li, how goes the battle? Has Mei Changqing really ended up in a mutually harmful fight with Lord Ling?”
“Who is responsible for your injuries?”
“Why haven’t we seen Senior Sky Blade and Senior Tianwu?”
Seeing Li Xiaobai’s appearance, Yang Guang was taken aback. Right now, Li Xiaobai’s clothes were in tatters, and he was covered in blood, a sight too miserable to bear.
However, his gaze was soon drawn to the stunning beauty standing beside him. She was clad in golden armor, her delicate feet lightly treading the ground, beautiful yet emanating a heroic air that captivated his heart and mind.
“Who might this be?”
“I’ve brought back Mei Changqing. It’s a long story,” Li Xiaobai replied.
“As for this senior, she is the Second Leader of the Aolai Country from the Eastern Sea. It is precisely due to the senior’s presence that we were able to timely suppress the chaos on the battlefield and prevent the situation from worsening.”
Li Xiaobai introduced.
“Second Leader of the Aolai Country!”
“That invincible existence!”
“The affairs of the border have actually alarmed the Senior!”
Yang Guang’s face showed shock. He had never seen the true face of the person before; previously, during the battle with the Flesh Mountain on the border, her body was shrouded in golden light and her appearance was not revealed.
He had not expected that the Second Leader of the Aolai Country would be such an astonishing beauty!
“Never mind who she is, kid, hurry up and bring out the Saint Heir, Lord Ergouzi wants to improve his cultivation level!”
Ergouzi shook his head with a displeased look, saying he found the woman before him not to his taste, her body lacking fur and her buttocks not ample enough.
“Get lost, we’re discussing important matters here!”
Li Xiaobai’s forehead was marked with black lines, feeling that this group was as irreverent as ever.
“Young Master Li, this must be the Lord of the Holy City, Yang Guang, I presume? I’ve long heard of you, and today I finally meet you. But why are you all soaked in a pool of water?”
“The palace seems lacking even a single table, is this neglect or have you already made thorough preparations?”
Liuren looked puzzled at the scene before her.
It wasn’t like this when she had visited years ago. Though the Holy City had indeed grown more prosperous compared to the past, the widespread revival of the Flesh Mountain, with some beings even she couldn’t slay, made her a bit displeased with Yang Guang’s actions.
But, due to Li Xiaobai’s presence, she refrained from making a scene.
“Ah, this…”
Yang Guang was startled. Liuren was unaware of the recent developments and seeing the scene before her could easily lead to misunderstandings. He was just about to stand up and explain, but then realized that he was naked, which was even more inappropriate.
His face turned somewhat embarrassed in an instant.
“Senior, there’s no point in more words. This bathhouse, called Tangneng First-class, has a miraculous effect on cultivators. You’ll understand just by experiencing it,”
Li Xiaobai said with a light laugh. He casually tossed Mei Changqing and Cangying into the pool and then removed the remnants of his own clothing, diving into the pool as well, his face brimming with a relaxed expression.
Liuren looked on, slightly embarrassed, her pretty face blushing. Cultivators from the Immortal Spirit Continent were conservative, typically wrapping themselves up tightly, never witnessing such a scene before, which was quite scandalous.
Yet she couldn’t help but be curious about the bathhouse, and extended a delicate hand to test the water temperature.
In just a moment, Liuren’s body shivered, feeling a hot stream surge within her Dantian, flowing into her limbs. The Spiritual Power in her body, which had long been stagnant, was now slightly increasing.
His eyes couldn’t help but widen.
“This bathhouse can actually enhance one’s cultivation level!”
“Young Master Li, did you rob some ancient sect? Using a Spiritual Spring for bathing is a bit too extravagant!”
Liuren managed to suppress the shock in her heart, quickly stripped off her golden battle armor, and stepped into the pool to soak in the comfortable water.
“Hehe, Vice Leader, you flatter me. It’s just a simple bathhouse. In the Holy City, we have opened dozens of Tangneng First-class, all with the same effects. You’ll understand in time, Vice Leader.”
“In the Holy City, such means to enhance cultivation level are the least valuable.”
Li Xiaobai said with a chuckle, a phrase that only a wealthy owner like him could utter.
But it’s true; whether it’s Tangneng First-class or Huazi, the cost price within the merchant district is ridiculously low. It’s like you could take out a huge pile at will, saying it’s endless isn’t an exaggeration at all.
Surprise grew in Liuren’s eyes. She could feel that the other party was not bragging, and judging by the reactions of people like Yang Guang, they had already gotten used to this method of bathing for cultivation. Who exactly is Li Xiaobai that he can provide such treasures!
Moreover, after soaking in the water, she could keenly feel that the Spiritual Power in her Dantian was indeed slowly increasing. Although the process was gradual, it was definitely enhancing.
She scooped up a handful of water to examine closely but discovered nothing.
“What kind of Heaven and Earth Treasures have been added to this water?”
Curiosity flashed in Liuren’s eyes as she found that ever since she met Li Xiaobai, her inner perceptions were constantly being overturned. Whether it was his strength far surpassing the young geniuses, the additional Sea-Calming Divine Needle he produced, or the Tangneng First-class before her, all were things she had never heard of or seen before.
It was all too novel; she even felt as if she was getting to know this world for the first time.
Her resolve strengthened to bring Li Xiaobai back to Aolai Country, preferably to obtain the recipe for this bathhouse so that she could open such shops all over the Eastern Sea!
“It’s just ordinary water. The reason it can enhance cultivation is simply because I built the bathhouse with care and infused it with soul.”
“If the Senior wishes, take some.”
Li Xiaobai said, shaking his head and swinging his body.
“How can ordinary water have such miraculous effects? Young Master Li, you don’t mind if I collect some for research, do you?”
Liuren’s face was full of disbelief. Although she didn’t sense anything, she couldn’t believe that it was just ordinary water.
“Senior, what Young Master Li says is true. It’s genuinely just a regular water source. Stay in the Holy City longer and you will understand,” Yang Guang said slowly.
The expressions and thoughts of Liuren were all too familiar to everyone present; once upon a time, they had felt the same way. However, as they came to a deeper understanding, their curiosity waned. Why not simply bathe to increase their cultivation level?
The last one who researched Tangneng First-class is now lying unconscious in the pool.
Why make things difficult for yourself?
If your cultivation level isn’t enough, just take a bath. If you don’t grasp a Cultivation Technique, just smoke a Huazi. Cultivation is just so straightforward and unadorned.
Li Xiaobai smiled lightly and handed her a Huazi, saying, “Senior, you’ve been weary from the journey and troubled by the border strife. Take a Huazi to calm your nerves.”
Liuren’s eyes flickered with confusion; she didn’t know what ‘smoking a Huazi’ meant.
With guidance from the others, she put the long, rod-like object in her mouth, casually lit it, and inhaled the drifting fragrance, billowing smoke unintentionally.
In just an instant, her heart was once again tossed about by waves of astonishment.
“This Huazi can enhance one’s perceptiveness!”
