Bai Feng tense nerves had relaxed a little bit, so did his muscles as he looked at the ancient body cultivator and asked:
"Before we fight, my name is Bai Feng. What's yours?"
The bald young man responded without a second thought as he did his stretches:
"Shirbo."
Bai Feng nodded, and that's how they introduced themselves to each other.
No fanfare, no more talk.
Bai Feng did a few stretches before he entered a textbook fighting stance that was taught to him by Ah Lam.
A deep breath and his eyes became serious.
He looked at Shirbo, who was getting ready for the fight, entering a stance of his own.
The stance was very primitive. Shirbo stood on all fours. He looked like an animal ready to pounce.
His aura intensified greatly as his features turned a little animalistic.
Bai Feng was kept on his toes by the aura. He could feel that Shirbo wasn't at full strength due to the time he had been sealed ins
Bai Feng wasn't sure what compensation to give to this water spirit before he moved on. His time was precious, and he couldn't waste too much of it. He didn't have an extreme sense of urgency, but he needed to plan his next moves. He had to find the locations of new resources that were good enough for him. The water spirit could feel that Bai Feng was getting impatient. However, he started feeling rather bad. His food had been taken by that bald person, and his compensation didn't seem to come. He was almost getting depressed as his eyes dropped to the floor of his villa. Bai Feng wasn't a person that liked to waste time, so he decided to give him an alternate compensation that he could fix in a very quick time. He glanced at the leftover ingredients in the corner of the room. They were some purple fish, clams, and lobster. They had a hard transparent crystal shell and Bai Feng became rather intrigued as he appeared in front of
Rafiki thought for a few seconds. Then he glanced at his chieftain before saying:"I'm not that informed about the subordinates of those two factions, we are quite isolated in this jungle, and we can't go to too heavily populated areas to gain information. Other Qi cultivators had heard about our tribe through rumors, and we are seen as pariah of society.""Our knowledge about those two powers are not even up to date, but they are such big powers that even we can get some information about them through normal channels.""I'm sorry, but I cannot give you the answer right now. Can you wait for some time, Chieftain?"Bai Feng knew that they weren't wrong for not having information. That's how society troubled them. His sense of urgency was a little bit higher than before. But he couldn't lash out at his new subordinates? Could he?Bai Feng sighed as he waved his hand and said:"Just hurry, you know about my troubles, don't you?"Rafiki n
While Bai Feng was finishing the cooking, the tribe's warriors had already left the continent and made their way to civilization. They were able to travel quickly due to their high cultivation bases and to keep themselves hidden. They decided to hide their auras and don new clothes that they have made themselves accordingly to the other weaker travelers that they had spied upon. That way they would be harder to recognize. And it would be easier for them to get their hands upon the information they needed. That didn't mean there wasn't any danger involved if they took these steps, but they mitigated most of it. However, if they were found out, things would go south really fast. But for the food that Bai Feng had promised them, they would put their lives on the line. Cultivators were high and mighty when it came to a lot of things, but their cultivation base was something they cared a lot about, and it was one of the few things that they
Bai Feng waited in line, and since the line wasn't that long, to begin with, it didn't take much time for him to reach the entrance of the Azure Bat sect. At the entrance, a few men were talking to each other about their test results. Bai Feng was walking by them and entering the sect, but he couldn't help and hear about how some of the tests worked. From what he understood, they were all pretty straightforward, so there was nothing to worry about. Bai Feng entered the sect, and the first thing he saw was one of the sect's members awaiting him. The person in question squinted at Bai Feng before he asked if he was there for the tests. Bai Feng nodded, and the man lead him to the first test site. The first test site consisted of a big free-range area filled with demons. Bai Feng had to kill as many as possible in a certain amount of time. It was quite a simple test, Bai Feng found out that the demons on site were all at the Saint
Bai Feng could sense that something was wrong with him, which in turn made him ignore the Azure Bat sect master.Bai Feng knew that he wasn't such a high-key person. He had shown off too much.And he wasn't sure why that happened.The most likely response would be the curse acting up, but if the curse was starting to act already, while Hatch was doing his best to seal it...That wasn't good at all.It meant that he didn't have much time left before the curse will start affecting him more and more until it will fully explode and take over his psyche.Bai Feng frowned as the sect master of the Azure Bat sect started to become angry, he had said multiple things to Bai Feng, but Bai Feng was rather lost in his thoughts, making him look like he was ignoring the man on purpose."You are trying to act though and ignore me after you smashed my sect's formation that was laid by the steward of the Azure Monkey villa? Are you courting death?!"
Bai Feng wasn't sure if he was to believe Jiji or not, but she didn't look to be lying.Combined with the information he gathered. The Azure Monkey Villa may be truly in trouble.It was an awkward situation. Jiji was looking at Bai Feng, but he didn't know what to say, so he coughed and asked:"When will the danger zones open?"Jiji said without blinking:"They will open two days from now. The underground danger zone will open first, then the sky danger zone will open next. In which one would you like to go?"Bai Feng responded:"Depends. Which one has the higher quality materials?"Jiji chuckled as she continued:"Haha, you are one of those types of people, huh? You wouldn't be able to see it from appearance alone. The one with higher-quality materials is the sky danger zone. Most of the mercenaries that come to the Azure Monkey villa want to go into the Sky Danger Zone."Bai Feng nodded:"Then the Sky Dan
The unique flavor that Bai Feng was feeling was rather familiar. It was something that he had been eating for his whole life before he had gone onto the path of cultivation!Chicken!The chicken broth was giving the noodles a delicious and slightly spicy taste that Bai Feng couldn't ever forget.After he finished the first bowl, He couldn't help but ask the old man behind the counter:"What type of chicken did you use in these noodles?"The old man was surprised how Bai Feng was able to identify his secret ingredient so easily. He didn't get many customers, but those who did come never guessed his ingredient."I use spirit tail chicken, sonny, I'm quite surprised you have been able to find out that I'm using chicken in my noodles. Most people don't even remember the taste of chicken that they ate when they were mortals."The old man sighed after he said those words, and he took the empty bowl from Bai Feng then started to wash it.
The one who arrived to pick up Bai Feng was Jiji.She knocked on the door of the house a few times before entering and saying:"It's time to go. The danger zones will open very soon. We will need you and some others to be the vanguard!"It was obvious that the Azure Monkey villa was employing these rogue cultivators to be the forefront so they could absorb whatever danger was there first before they would come in and swoop the resources.The strategy was quite obvious and even those who were employed knew about it. However, everyone accepted it because they were either in dire need of materials, or they simply couldn't pass up this opportunity to get rich quickly.Birds die for food. Men die for riches.That was the eternal truth of the world.Bai Feng got up from the floor and nodded at Jiji.Jiji approached Bai Feng before grabbing him by the shoulder and saying:"We will use a teleportation formation created by our vi
