Chapter 496 Not the Same

Seeing his father refuse, Xuan An was immediately dumbfounded. He forgot Su Li’s exhortation and said anxiously, “Father, I mean it! That senior sister apprentice treated me extremely well, and gave me…”

Xuan Jingzhou interrupted him helplessly, and asked, “How is your senior sister apprentice’s cultivation now?”

Xuan An was dumbfounded when he heard the words. When he thought of Su Li’s slightly childish face, his mind became confused.

The first time they met, senior sister apprentice was in the early stage of the Jindan Realm, but later she could easily kill those people. Afterwards, she killed the poisonous insect demon easily. Senior Sister Apprentice… What was the cultivation of her?

“I… I don’t know, but…”

Xuan An answered frankly. Xuan Jingzhou felt very tired, so he became serious and said, “Forget it. You are not allowed to get involved in this matter. Continue to practice well.”

“I!”

Xuan An’s face flushed, and he only felt depressed. He really wanted to tell his father about her senior sister apprentice. But his father got angry, so he could only nod and exit the hall unwillingly.

After Xuan An left, the serious expression on Xuan Jingzhou’s face faded, and he became gloomy.

“Fate Ancestor is in charge of the world, and we are now in such a chaotic world. It’s fine… If we can’t avoid this catastrophe, we won’t hide.”

Two months pa.s.sed in a blink of an eye. During this time, Su Li did not go back to the Jiuzhou Region. She ordered a room in an inn for pract.i.tioners in Tianyi City to absorb the spiritual jades peacefully. The evil ghost was observing the changes in her public region and confirming with the Suiyu Tactics.

There were many spies in the Jiuzhou Region. Although there was also Huangxing Chamber of Commerce, it was far less convenient than the Jiuli Region. After she tried out the most suitable spiritual jade for her, she would buy it on a large scale.

During the two months, Su Li also went out for a couple days, hoping to meet the two persons whose pneumas were familiar to her in the previous two days.

Tianyi City was at the foot of the mountain of Tianyin Tribe, so no one dared to be presumptuous. However, Su Li couldn’t track the pneumas. She guessed that the two persons should have left the city and returned to the Tianyin Tribe.

After drawing the conclusion, Su Li returned to the inn and didn’t leave. The speed of refining the spiritual jades was accelerating, and finally on the last day of two months, the last spiritual jade was refined.

At this moment, Su Li looked inside the scene above the public region.

The essence light group formed by thousands of spiritual jades in four colors of gold, wood, fire and earth flickered. With a thought, Su Li controlled the first group of golden light to merge into the black lotus to make elixir. And in a flash, the black lotus s.h.i.+ned golden light.

Su Li’s eyes brightened. Her practice method flowed, and she felt the changes in the Suiyu Tactics.

Since reincarnation and practice, she had traveled twice on the Star Path. After she took risk to go through the Zhuji Realm, as Black Lotus said, she hadn’t had any bottleneck until now she practiced to the peak of the Jindan Realm. Just stacking spiritual power was enough.

Going forward, it was another Chuangxing Path. She could already vaguely sense the existence of that Star Gate, but her feelings told her that this time, the Chuangxing Path would be more difficult than the previous two times.

According to Black Lotus, before the Jindan Realm, she only needed to solidify the foundation. After this step, she truly embarked on the path of cultivation.

As the only obstacle in front of her, Chuangxing Path wouldn’t be easy.

She was not ready yet, at least… If she could make a breakthrough in Suiyu Tactics, she would have greater certainty.

Buzz—

The black lotus, which turned into golden, shook gently, and the golden jade flash flowed around, like a treasure of divine light.

Su Li’s eyes opened, and the golden flash flashed away in her eyes. It split air and made a soft sound.

“The bottleneck has broken through to three out of a hundred, and I use it with a sharp pneuma. If I use the will of sword again, the power will be considerable. Mujin spiritual jade is acceptable.”

After drawing that conclusion, Su Li waited until the golden light group’s pneuma disappeared, and then immediately dragged the next group of spiritual jade essence into the public region…

…

After a short while, all the spiritual jade essence in Su Li’s hand was consumed. She got up and opened the window near the street, looking at the bustling tourists on the street through the tactical matrix, muttering to herself.

“Perhaps, it’s not the same as I imagined.”

Mu spiritual jades with the Five Elements were not suitable for practice.

If she fused with gold spiritual jade, she could display a stronger strength than usual. If she fused with wood spiritual jade, she felt that her body was full of vitality. And even if she was injured, she could quickly recover. Maybe the effect of the Mushui spiritual jade was similar to it. If the fire spiritual jade was used for fusion, the power of the fire style cultivation method would double, but she didn’t study the cultivation method deeply. And she didn’t know the effect of higher-grade cultivation method. The fusion of the earth spiritual jade could increase the defensive power and form a field similar to the gravity tactical matrix…

The spiritual jades with the Five Elements played their own roles!

Su Li’s eyes brightened. If she had sufficient spiritual jades, these abilities could be permanently fixed. And as the Suiyu Tactics advanced, there might be other new surprises.

“The spiritual jade in this world is far more than the spiritual jades with the Five Elements. I need more spiritual jades!”

Thinking of this, Su Li went downstairs and paid the room rate. Then she went to the Huangxing Chamber of Commerce.

Today by chance, Qing s.h.i.+’er was on duty again. Unfortunately, he was already followed by a middle-aged pract.i.tioner with an extraordinary ident.i.ty, whose brows were white.

Because of Yin Yutian’s appreciation, he had changed from an ordinary servant to a steward dedicated to serving honored guests.

However, when he inadvertently turned around and saw Su Li’s figure, his body suddenly shook. He waved to find another manservant in indigo clothes, and said, “This is a distinguished guest. I happen to have something urgent. You should serve the guest well and can’t neglect him.”

The manservant who was called was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he was immediately ecstatic. He hurriedly greeted the middle-aged pract.i.tioner with white brows to leave.

The middle-aged pract.i.tioner with white brows frowned slightly, but he didn’t say anything and followed at will.

After all… these servants of the Huangxing Hall were all very humble and cheap. And it didn’t matter who led the way.

When Qing s.h.i.+’er saw the middle-aged pract.i.tioner leaving, he was immediately relieved. Then he appeared quickly in front of Su Li before she selected a manservant, and said with a sincere smile, “Guest, you are here again.”

Su Li recognized Qing s.h.i.+’er, and her complexion softened. She said, “It’s you. What a coincidence. I don’t want the spiritual jades with Five Elements this time. I want to buy all the rare spiritual jades in the Huangxing Hall.”

It was not the first time that Qing s.h.i.+’er had contacted Su Li. Even though Su Li’s request was even more weird, he immediately nodded and stretched out his hand to lead, “Guest, this way please. I will take you to the Tianzi Hall. If you have taken a fancy to it, tell me how much you want. I will arrange it immediately.”

Su Li also felt relieved when she heard the words. She smiled slightly, “It’s good.”

Qing s.h.i.+’er was very happy. He quickly led the way, but he felt pity. This senior laughed so vividly, but it was a pity that her face was a bit ordinary, and she was a little indifferent.

Not long after, Qing s.h.i.+’er brought Su Li to the Tianzi Hall they went last time.

Su Li glanced across the counter, watching closely.

In addition to the five elements, spiritual jades also had many weird attributes such as wind, thunder, yin and yang, and so on. Su Li couldn’t guess its true effect. She simply flipped her hand and took out a universe ring from her sleeve. Then she threw it to Qing s.h.i.+’er and said, “Except for the Mu spiritual jades with the Five Elements and the ordinary spiritual jades with the Five Elements, the rest are the same as last time. I will buy a thousand pieces of each of them.”

Qing s.h.i.+’er took the ring and swept across the celestial stones in it with his divine awareness. The number of stones shocked him. He did not dare to neglect and was about to make arrangements.

But at this moment, the middle-aged pract.i.tioner with white brows walked in under the leaders.h.i.+p of manservant and met him.

“Huh? You are here.”

The middle-aged pract.i.tioner with white brows focused his eyes and said with flat voice, but a cold sweat appeared on Qing s.h.i.+’er’s forehead.

There were so many Tianzi Halls in Huangxing Hall. Why did this person appear here?

So unlucky!

“I… I…”

Qing s.h.i.+’er was anxious and didn’t know how to answer. The middle-aged pract.i.tioner with white brows saw Su Li in the hall and suddenly raised his brows. He stepped over Qing s.h.i.+’er and walked in.

Su Li saw him, but she just didn’t want to talk to him. However, since she sensed that this person was approaching, she couldn’t continue to ignore him, so she turned around to look at him.

“You are so young, five hundred years old at most!”

The middle-aged man with white brows was startled, and his mind flashed across talents in the Tianyin Tribe and the four factions. She was not among them. Then he looked sullen immediately, “Your Excellency, why do you rob me of my guide?”

Qing s.h.i.+’er suddenly panicked when he heard it. He leaned over and knelt directly on the ground. In the eyes of the ordinary manservant, he begged for mercy, “Senior, please forgive me! It is me who want to curry favor with her. It is not her fault.”

Su Li was puzzled, and she immediately understood what was going on when she heard this sentence. To her, it was a trivial matter, but for Qing s.h.i.+’er, it was a great disaster.

Thinking of this, Su Li looked solemn and clasped her fists, “Fellow Pract.i.tioner, this matter is just a misunderstanding. Although Qing s.h.i.+’er is not handling things well, he brings convenience to me. I will compensate you for him. How about it?”

Seeing that Su Li was so kind, the middle-aged man with white brows couldn’t keep a straight face, and his tone eased, “That’s it. But since you can make the steward of Huangxing Hall flatter you, you must be honorable. Could I know where you come from? You are strange to me.”

Su Li shook her head and smiled, “I’m from other large regions. It is normal that you don’t know me.”

The middle-aged man with white brows nodded. Then he turned around and left.

After the matter was over, Qing s.h.i.+’er was relieved. He glanced at Su Li with grat.i.tude, and immediately went down to purchase the spiritual jades for Su Li.

After a while, he hurriedly walked through the warehouse, holding the universe ring. He was going to the VIP room where Su Li waited, but he found a familiar figure blocking him.

“Senior!”

Qing s.h.i.+’er looked pale as he saw that the middle-aged man with white brows blocked the door.

The middle-aged man with white brows smiled while his fingers flicked. Then a white poisonous insect flew into the glabella of Qing s.h.i.+’er. Qing s.h.i.+’er’s lively eyes became dull in an instant, and he opened said, “As to the female guest’s origin, I don’t know her name. I only know that she is as rich as a country. The young lord calls her “senior”, but her bone age is very young…”

When the middle-aged men with white brows heard the phrase “as rich as a country”, he felt ridiculous, “Such an inexperienced slave. The wealth of the cultivation country equals that of the entire high-grade sect. Just a female pract.i.tioner…”

After he caught a glimpse of the universe ring in Qing s.h.i.+’er’s hand, he s.n.a.t.c.hed it straight away. He swept away it with his divine awareness at will. His expression of disdain changed instantly.

So many!

So so many!

Countless celestial stones!

He had never seen so many celestial stones!

“These celestial stones are enough for me to practice to pa.s.s the nature’s test!”

He gasped twice, and his heart beat violently. The greed at this moment beat the reason in his eyes, and the homicidal intent flickered in his eyes.

In the VIP room, Su Li, who was meditating, was suddenly awakened by the sound of messy footsteps. When she looked up, she saw a panic manservant in indigo clothes holding back his crying voice,

“Senior, something bad happened!”
