I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, So I’ll Max Out My Defense

Chapter 470 - Chapter 470: Chapter 471: Comparing Poverty

Chapter 470: Chapter 471: Comparing Poverty

Li Xiaobai felt quite embarrassed; he had discussed with Liuren and others for an entire day and had never considered this problem, yet his brothers and sisters seemed to have instinctively been aware of it.

Indeed, if the Immortal Spirit Continent has powerhouses, the Upper Realm would definitely have its own powerhouses as well, and the significance of those in the Upper Realm cannot be compared with those from the same day. If the other party were to seriously carry out their schemes, they would be unstoppable no matter what.

Only by fighting at the same height could one have the qualifications for dialogue and negotiation.

To achieve this goal, one must ascend to the Upper Realm, practice more powerful Cultivation Techniques, and acquire stronger forces.

Preoccupied with the schemes of cultivators from the Upper Realm to the point of forgetting this most important aspect, Li Xiaobai felt somewhat ashamed. Had it not been for his brothers and sisters who enlightened him, who knows how long it would have taken for him to come to this realization!

The next morning.

Early in the morning, Su Yunbing took Yang Chen and Ling Feng away with her. They wanted to set off early to head to the Eastern Sea, gathering all the brothers there in advance to wait for Li Xiaobai’s arrival.

It would be good to have each other’s support by then.

Moved in his heart, in this world of deception and counter-deception, the love and concern his fellow disciples showed for him was beyond words. They were genuinely concerned about him, caring for him in every possible way.

After sending off the few people, Li Xiaobai returned to his room and sat on the bed.

He opened the System panel to browse through his gains from this period of time, which could be described as a full harvest with substantial gains in every aspect.

[Host: Li Xiaobai.]

[…]

[Defensive Power: Half-step Human Immortal Body (5,500,000 / 10,000,000) (Immortal Spirit Qi: Not Acquired) Can Advance.]

[Attribute Points: Zero.]

[Hellfire (Divine Level Skill) Initial Burning Range: 810 meters.]

[Pet (Pudong Rooster) Current Deaths: Ten times.]

[Undying Phoenix Bloodline: 0.1% / 100%.]

[Achievement: Trouble Maker (35 / 108).]

On the first battlefield, he had managed to scrape together more than one million Attribute Points, the majority of which came from Liuren. The aftershocks of those battles were indeed very satisfying.

With a few more battles of this scale, his Attribute Points would basically be maxed out.

After retrieving ten fragments from the deep frontier, the System’s progress also increased by ten. Currently, Li Xiaobai had not yet visited the Eastern Sea and Southern Ming. Those two areas should also have Blood Sacrifice Fragments, so he planned to find time to loot them.

Attribute Points are something one can never have too many of, and after completing this achievement, it’s evident that a very powerful reward will be earned—perhaps another Divine Level skill.

At noon.

Old Song and Song Que sneaked back into the Holy City, with Old Song looking bruised and battered, his eyes full of gloomy resentment.

Song Que seemed to be enjoying the other’s misfortune. Li Xiaobai immediately understood what had happened—without the means to control Immortal Spirit Qi, Old Song must have been beaten severely by the ancestors of various races. Although not life-threatening, he couldn’t avoid the pain and suffering.

After recounting yesterday’s discoveries to them, both Old Song and Song Que were shocked beyond measure. A mere interlude during Ling Xue’er’s aggressive assault on the first frontier battlefield actually revealed so many secrets.

Even the bigwigs from the Upper Realm were drawn out of the shadows. It turned out that there was more than one way to get to the Upper Realm, and using an altar seemed like a safer method.

As Old Song put it, if one could safely go there, why risk breaking through the void? Why not casually stroll there and embrace the arms of a new world?

“I’m considering whether we should make contact with the beings related to the altar,” Li Xiaobai asked mysteriously.

“Woof, ask that guy if there are no Qilin Divine Beasts in the Upper Realm, and get Lord Ergouzi a few to catch!”

Ergouzi sidled up, quite excitedly saying.

“Giggle, I want treasures too, give me a few pounds of Phoenix Bloodline!”

Ji Wuqing also shouted, but the next second, he was slapped over by Ergouzi and pinned down.

“Step aside, we’re discussing important matters regarding the welfare of the human race, you damn dog don’t understand jack!”

Li Xiaobai glanced over the chicken and the dog, his forehead lined with black veins; the two of them were hopelessly unreliable, so he kicked them aside.

Do you really think you can devour a Qilin Divine Beast from the Upper Realm?

And you want the Phoenix Bloodline? Is the Phoenix Bloodline something that’s weighed by the pound?

It’s downright disgraceful to the Phoenix…

“We’re definitely going to make contact, that Mei Changqing guy is only thinking of his own benefits, utterly failing to extract any useful information from the other side, so it’s up to us to take action ourselves.”

The Old Beggar rubbed his teeth, his brow furrowed as he said.

“But this communication is quite a science, how shall we approach it?”

Song Que asked from the side, but instantly regretted it.

“Hehe, Old Song, that’s because you don’t understand, youngsters just lack some experience, let the Old Beggar teach you what Emotional Intelligence is, watch carefully later how the Old Beggar operates.”

The Old Beggar said with a grin, looking quite confident in his approach.

Song Que felt speechless; this old codger was a textbook case of getting too big for his breeches, always trying to show off.

“Kid, take out the altar, let’s meet this mysterious entity and see just how significant the people from the Upper Realm are.”

The Old Beggar rubbed his hands and said, seemingly unable to wait any longer.

“Hehe, alright.”

Li Xiaobai nodded, flipped his wrist, and the Five-colored Altar landed on the ground.

Song Que’s eyes widened; it was the first time he had seen the Five-colored Altar and had no idea how to use this thing.

“So this is the Five-colored Altar that can communicate with the Upper Realm?”

“That’s right, as long as you infuse enough Spiritual Power into the Formation, you can activate it.”

Li Xiaobai said slowly.

“Yeah, boy, bring out the treasure, let the Old Beggar communicate with that entity!”

The Old Beggar urged urgently, as if really couldn’t wait.

Li Xiaobai, with his arms crossed, watched the other with a half-smile; he had to admit, the guy put on a pretty convincing act, but unfortunately, he had already seen right through the old man’s schemes.

This old fellow appeared anxious on the surface, but in reality, he just wanted Li Xiaobai himself to spend treasures and activate the altar.

Thinking of siphoning resources from me? Not happening, absolutely impossible.

“Senior, I am but a junior with little time spent on cultivation, and the resources I have are very limited; I don’t have what it takes to activate this altar, I’m afraid you will have to do it, Senior.”

“With many years of cultivation and standing unrivaled in the Immortal Spirit Continent, I’m sure with Senior’s intervention, this altar will surely be activated!”

Li Xiaobai said with a chuckling smile.

“Cough cough, it’s embarrassing to say, but the Old Beggar, despite being unmatched in the world, never deigned to hoard resources, and it seems that has come back to bite me today,”

“Old Song had traversed the border lands decades ago, surely he has no lack of ancient treasures in his possession, why not contribute one, it would also count as a contribution to our human race’s great cause!”
