Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Encounter with an Evil Cultivator Again
Translator: 549690339
The many cultivators at the door were brimming with excitement in their eyes.
Regardless of gender, at this moment, they all seemed to have found their very own pursuit of bathing.
It turns out that showing off one’s physique while bathing could actually win over the heart of one’s supreme-rulerdess so easily.
In just an instant, the male cultivators all became excited, their faces flushing with determination in their hearts, deciding that once they returned, they must definitely practice a body refinement skill.
These days, you’re embarrassed to call yourself a real man if you don’t have a few muscles on your belly.
The female cultivators shared the same sentiment, knowing they’d be seen by male cultivators when leaving the bathhouse, who wouldn’t want to present themselves in a perfect image?
Many of the female cultivators subtly looked at their own slightly robust calves, thinking this wouldn’t do, deciding to work hard upon returning to slim them down.
Unbeknownst to them, a body refinement craze was about to take Ancient Moon City by storm.
But Li Xiaobai couldn’t care less about their little schemes.
Inside Tangneng First-class, Li Xiaobai was counting Spirit Stones with a beaming smile, the bathhouse was too profitable, they had made over a thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones in just a day or two.
He handed out two hundred to Situ Yanyu.
“Stick with me, and I won’t treat you badly. Keep up the good work, I have high hopes for you!”
“Thank you, Young Master Liangchen!”
Situ Yanyu was overjoyed, she knew the shop’s daily revenue was hundreds to thousands of Spirit Stones, but she never imagined she’d get a share, and felt a little touched.
“Cough cough, my lord, about my salary, don’t you think it’s time to…”
Elder Situ Kong came over, constantly rubbing his fingers together with eager insinuation.
“My dear elder, you’ve soaked here for two days, don’t you think it’s time to settle that cost…” Li Xiaobai said, grinning.
“Cough cough, I haven’t taken my bath yet, let me soak a little longer, just a little more.”
Situ Kong begrudgingly crawled back into the pool, settling beside the dirty old beggar again, chatting in a desultory fashion.
“Boss, two hours of soaking.”
Three figures in black robes entered, with their faces covered, their appearances obscured.
Li Xiaobai frowned slightly; as the trio approached, he felt an instinctual repulsion, an unreasoned aversion to these strangers he had never met before.
What was this all about?
He had never had a problem with money before.
All who came were lords; they must be treated well.
“Gentlemen, right this way, please!”
Li Xiaobai put away the Spirit Stones and welcomed the few individuals with a smile.
The three black-robed figures didn’t speak, making their way directly to a corner of the pool and plopping themselves in.
Splashes erupted, scaring the nearby bathing cultivators, who concluded based on the boss’s introduction that these three were definitely fierce characters.
Li Xiaobai narrowed his eyes; soaking silently from the moment they sat down, not uttering a word, these people seemed to be more than merely fierce; they were smoky threats.
The three black-robed figures felt something extraordinary after a brief immersion; the pool seemed to enhance their cultivation level. Just by soaking for a while, they felt their inner Spiritual Energy grow stronger by a thread—an inconceivable experience.
However, the black-robed figures quickly suppressed their excitement as they had come with a mission, prioritizing it above all else.
“Boss, got any good wine and dishes? The brothers are hungry, and we’re not short on Spirit Stones,” said the leading black-robed figure.
“Right away, just a moment.”
Li Xiaobai quickly prepared the wine and dishes on a tray, serving them before the few black-robed figures.
“Hey, boss, come and join us for a bite,” the black-robed figure naturally invited, nonchalantly throwing over a few Lower Grade Spirit Stones—they indeed seemed to be customers who weren’t short on money.
Li Xiaobai also picked up a set of chopsticks and joined the men for a feast and drinks.
“I’m from Zaun.”
“Where’s Zaun?” the men inquired, indicating they hadn’t heard of it before.
“It’s just a little place called Zaun District. The people there are quite passionate, somewhat impoverished, nothing worth mentioning.”
“The boss has a decent cultivation level; it seems you frequent dangerous places often.”
“Just average.”
“Why does this pool have the effect of enhancing cultivation level? Could the boss enlighten us a little?”
“We are willing to pay for the recipe and will ensure it remains a secret.”
The man in the black robe spoke gravely.
“You’re not the first to say that. There’s nothing special about this water; it’s just ordinary water. The reason it can help cultivators increase their cultivation level is that I infused it with love, and that’s why it has this effect.”
“Our shop doesn’t prohibit customers from taking the water out. If you doubt it, you can take some water and study it slowly later.”
Li Xiaobai said cheerfully, knowing full well that his bathhouse was unique and couldn’t be replicated.
“I see.”
The few men nodded slightly, eating their food in a leisurely manner.
Li Xiaobai wanted to say something else when suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and the numbers on the system panel in front of him began to fluctuate.
[Attribute Points +100…]
[Attribute Points +100…]
Hiss!
The food is poisoned!
Li Xiaobai instantly understood, no wonder he had always felt something off about these three men; they had come specifically for him.
Taking advantage when he wasn’t paying attention, they had secretly poisoned the food, intending to kill him. Indeed, sinister and ruthless.
Without asking, it must be a hit ordered by the young masters of the Xia Family.
But this poison is still somewhat lacking.
[Attribute Points: 1000.]
Add to defense.
[Defensive Power: Indestructible Golden Body Sixth Turn (20000/60000)]
“Why aren’t you eating your vegetables? Come on, don’t be shy; these are all dishes you ordered, and you can’t waste them.”
Li Xiaobai smiled as he put a few dishes from his side into the bowls of the men in the black robe.
In an instant, the faces of the men in the black robe turned green, but since they hadn’t accomplished their mission, they had to keep up the act and, begrudgingly, finished the vegetables cleanly.
“Boss, do you drink?”
The man in the black robe asked.
“Yes.”
The man in the black robe poured the wine while Li Xiaobai stared intently at his actions, unable to spot anything amiss.
A few bowls of wine went down. The wine wasn’t strong, not even counting as a strong liquor.
[Attribute Points +200…]
[Attribute Points +200…]
Here it comes again!
Li Xiaobai understood in his heart that the other party was definitely sent to kill and that he hadn’t noticed how the other party had poisoned the food; they were quite skillful.
[Ding! Host continues to be attacked by Blood Demon Corrosion Force, acquiring skill: Blood Demon True Resolution.]
Blood Demon True Resolution: Can unleash the Blood Qi of the Blood Demon Primordial Spirit, significantly boosting power for a short period, capable of influencing space-time and bewildering minds. After use, the Blood Demon Primordial Spirit enters a weakened state for a brief period.
Hiss!
Blood Demon Corrosion Force, Li Xiaobai was alarmed.
The poisoning technique of the man in the black robe was exactly like the straw-cloaked man’s, only far weaker in power, undoubtedly one of the straw-cloaked man’s subordinates.
Was this a retaliation from the Xia Family, or had he already been discovered by the straw-cloaked man?
Li Xiaobai’s mind was in a haze; he had to test them.
“You guys have a good tolerance for alcohol. Among those I have met in Liangchen, besides Zhang Rui from Tianwu Sect, you’re the best drinkers!”
