Chapter 679: Chapter 679: I Feel He Is Out of Money
Alas, there’s nothing that can be done!
Jiang Xiaobai’s foundation has become so strong it is maddening!
If anyone could sum up all the progress Jiang Xiaobai has made since his debut up to now…
Their jaw would surely drop in surprise!
He’s simply not human!
Such a robust foundation means that the difficulty Jiang Xiaobai faces for improvement would be of hellish levels.
Just to put it in simple terms…
The raw prowess of a normal monstrous genius can be likened to a bucket with a diameter of one meter.
If he wishes to ascend in level, it’s like pouring water into the bucket.
For those slightly more capable, their ‘bucket’ is probably one and a half to two meters in diameter.
And that’s exactly why they need to garner different amounts of power, because their ‘buckets’ vary in diameter.
However, the power that bursts forth from the same height within these ‘buckets’ is different as well!
This is the reason why the stronger the foundation, the greater the combat power.
However, Jiang Xiaobai, this non-human entity, is different.
The diameter of his ‘bucket’ is at least a few tens of meters, even reaching a hundred meters!
With such an exaggerated foundation, the ‘water’ he needs to pour in for ascending in level, would be astronomically abundant!
Hence, he needs astronomically abundant cultivation resources.
An amount unimaginable to ordinary people!
Who wouldn’t despair under such circumstances?
Of course, if Jiang Xiaobai spends a few hundreds to thousands of years, he could slowly advance.
But the pressing circumstance now does not permit waiting!
He is to become a peak-tier practitioner in the stage of crossing tribulation in just two short months!
Moreover, he even has to ensure that the entire Starry Purgatory World harbors no ill will towards him!
What else can he do if not boost his strength?
“Damn it…”
“Why does it need 3,000,000 points to enhance the Nine Heavens Starry Sword Technique?”
When it rains, it pours.
He just glanced over the upgraded version of the Nine Heavens Starry Sword Technique, also divided into three realms.
But each enhancement requires 3,000,000 points.
3,000,000!
He can’t afford to raise it!
Although, he can’t deny the technique’s potency would become even more terrifying.
“Really… I’ve no idea what to say anymore, please just end me.”
“Reputation… this is really freaking hard…”
Jiang Xiaobai even entertains a crazy idea…
If not, he could just pursue negative reputation.
The points from negative reputation are 300 times greater!
But, the horrifying consequences… he might not even be able to bear them.
“Guess I’ll just take things one step at a time. Don’t care anymore, it’s all or nothing now, no one’s gonna stop me!”
Jiang Xiaobai roars in frustration, bringing out a bottle of wine and starts drinking.
Time flies quickly.
When Huo Shuyu and the others exited the final trial, they saw a dead drunk Jiang Xiaobai lying on the ground.
His face flushed beet red, and his expression was indescribably bitter and desperate.
He was still mumbling continuously.
“Reputation…money… I have nothing… I quit!”
“Cantina above, and earth below, just kill me…”
A few people huddle together, their joy of sharing their own gains with everyone else seems sapped away.
Their gazes converged on Jiang Xiaobai, who was lying on the ground.
Sun Gagniang swallowed: “What happened to noble one, did he get rejected in love?”
“Doesn’t seem like it, your noble one is actually a scum, a piece of trash, would such a person care about romantic setbacks?”
Huo Shuyu let out a huff: “Why do I feel like he looks like someone stole all his money, or perhaps he lost a large sum of cash.”
“This guy, treats money like life itself, the only possibility must be this.”
Hearing Huo Shuyu’s analysis, everyone seemed to agree.
From the start, no matter wherever they went, Jiang Xiaobai never let anything of value slip through.
Isn’t he just a stingy miser who clings to money as if it were life itself?
Hu Da with a regretful face: “Ah, Jiang Xiaobai is good at everything, it’s just he cares too much about material things.”
“There are many things in this world that can’t be measured by money.”
Hmm?
Everyone’s glances simultaneously shifted over.
Such profound words coming from anyone else wouldn’t have fazed them…
But when it came from Hu Da, it felt a little off-key.
Since when did he become such a philosophical person?
“What are you all looking at? Can’t I contemplate life?”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Everyone stopped, just assuming he momentarily came to his senses.
Right now, with Jiang Xiaobai drunk to such an extent, there was nothing they could do but wait for him to sober up.
And that wait lasted for three days!
Who knew what Jiang Xiaobai drank, being drunk for a full three days!
Jiang Xiaobai, upon regaining consciousness, was completely baffled as well.
“My noble friend, what immortal wine did you drink to get so drunk, and I think you only had one bottle, right?” Sun Gagniang looked at Jiang Xiaobai with a disgruntled face.
“I don’t know either, it was something left by the Blood Demon Emperor…”
Having said that, Jiang Xiaobai fell silent.
The Blood Demon Emperor’s no simple character, so most of the items he leaves behind are likely of immortal grade.
Anything related to the immortal grade is no small matter.
That exquisite wine was probably truly a divine brew.
“Anyway, why worry about him. As long as you’re fine, we better get going.”
“Is there anything else here in this secret realm that you haven’t scavenged?” Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Huo Shuyu looked at Jiang Xiaobai with a teasing smile:”But I am curious, what did you choose during that final trial?”
“Innate gift.”
With this statement, the entire place was stunned.
Huo Shuyu nearly popped her eyes out:”Among the three choices, you chose the hardest one?”
“Is it? It wasn’t that hard, I walked a passage for about ten minutes and somehow got out.”
Jiang Xiaobai was really in a fog.
“Could it be, Jiang Xiaobai what kind of monstrous entity are you, you got through in just ten minutes, and nothing happened?”
Huo Shuyu was astounded and hastily explained about the conditions of the talent trial.
In that passage, the stronger the innate gift, the slower one passes through, as the length of the passage would decrease!
But if one’s talent gift wasn’t strong and they chose that path, they might have to walk endlessly.
They may walk till their death and still not find an exit, not to mention surviving the many trials.
You could say that Jiang Xiaobai’s behavior was utterly monstrous!
“Wait, how did you know all of this so clearly?” Jiang Xiaobai was taken aback.
“Nonsense, didn’t you look carefully, the trial method was explained at the entrance of the passage!”
Huo Shuyu rolled her eyes, she really wanted to strangle Jiang Xiaobai.
You could say he was showing off, but it seemed like he did simply walk through a passage.
If you said he was boasting, but he actually did clear it in ten minutes.
However, Jiang Xiaobai acting like this was just annoying!
“What are you planning to do next, after we get out, the Blade Shadow Sect won’t let us off.”
Huo Shuyu immediately changed the subject: “I have already asked high-level practitioners from our Huo Family to come. Three True Immortal Realm experts, we can probably stay alive and leave this world with a high probability.”
“Judging by the time, they should have arrived, but the cost is on you!”
“Three world origin stones, not one less!”
Huo Shuyu counted on her fingers.
