I Don t Want to Get Hurt, So I ll Max Out My Defense - Chapter 388

Chapter 388: Chapter 389 Good Goods Shop

Li Xiaobai constantly moved through the battlefield, turning Flesh Mountains into ashes with Hellfire, and rewarding crazed cultivators with Huazi to let them leave on their own accord.

After less than half an hour, the Flesh Mountains on the battlefield had been largely eradicated, leaving behind only a few powerless stragglers.

The cultivators who had fallen into madness were all saved and taken away.

At this moment, Li Xiaobai once again appreciated the benefits of Huazi; this item truly was a life-saving Divine Artifact, a straw to clutch at in dire times.

Even if one were a lower-grade cultivator, as long as they had Huazi in their hand, they could stand undefeated in front of a Flesh Mountain, although this was only for ordinary Flesh Mountains; the aggression of more formidable ones required a different calculation.

The blood mist of the fourth battlefield silently dispersed, and Li Xiaobai returned to the perimeter.

The injured cultivators had already been taken away, and Cai Kunxu was directing other cultivators to continue building the defensive strategy, ready to deal with the next wave of Flesh Mountains that would soon arrive.

Although Cai Kunxu was full of cunning schemes, only seeking to gain advantages, one had to admit that his dedication to guarding the frontier was quite sincere.

The fact that he hadn’t forgotten his duty was worthy of praise.

Li Xiaobai silently nodded, thinking that not directly killing Cai Kunxu had been the right choice; this man did indeed have redeemable qualities.

“Thank you, Young Master Li, for the life-saving grace!”

“Gratitude for such great favor is not expressed in words, should you ever need us in the future, we shall go through fire and water without hesitation!”

“That’s right, if there’s anything in the future, just give the order, and I will give it my all!”

The injured lying on the ground were excited, as if Li Xiaobai was like a second parent to them.

They discovered that the small object in their mouth not only could resist the assault on their sanity by the Flesh Mountain’s aura but also could clear their minds and purify their organs, enhancing their enlightenment.

After only a few puffs, they were astonished to find signs of breakthroughs in their cultivation levels.

Not only that, but their understanding of Cultivation Techniques also improved significantly, and their strength had risen more than a notch compared to before.

This was truly a blessing in disguise; an enormous favor, for not only had their lives been spared, but their strength had also increased, such a fortune was hard to come by even if sought with a lantern.

The other cultivators, whose wits were not affected, were all extremely envious, eyeing the injured ones lying on the ground puffing smoke, their eyes reddening with desire.

For a moment, they thought of charging back into the blood mist, hoping for a rescue by the big shot, but the risk was too great and life was of utmost importance, so they only entertained the thought.

“Haha, you are making too much of it, you are all fine lads of the border, and it’s upon your shoulders that the defense of the frontier relies, I feel honored to be able to save you.”

Li Xiaobai waved his hand with a smile on his face.

“Young Master Li’s magnanimity is commendable; we admire you!”

“Enough said, should Young Master Li ever encounter any trouble in the future, we will definitely be the first to stand up in support!”

As these words were uttered, the cultivators below grew even more excited. They had never encountered such a genuine cultivator in the treacherous life they’d grown accustomed to over the years.

To save them, he had used such a precious item; this selfless spirit was worth cherishing and extolling.

Cai Kunxu beside them was somewhat bewildered; when had his subordinates become so acquainted with Li Xiaobai? They seemed even more earnest than when it came to himself!

He was still standing right there, had they not seen who had taken down the Flesh Mountain comparative to the Mahayana Realm?

Doesn’t he deserve some face?

Cai Kunxu felt a bit embarrassed as his subordinates continued to pledge loyalty to someone else; what was that about?

However, the other party was a senior big shot, so he had no complaints; defending this frontier in the future would still depend on their strength.

“Thank you all for your support. As you may have noticed, the Flesh Mountains appearing on the battlefield are getting increasingly powerful. To enhance the cultivators’ ability to resist the Flesh Mountains, I’ve decided to open a store to sell Huazi. This substance can temporarily boost cognition and also help you avoid the Flesh Mountains’ assaults.”

“Whether it’s used on the battlefield or for daily cultivation, it’s definitely a powerful tool!”

“The store will be located in the Holy City. I will construct two Teleportation Formations for transportation between the two places. We will officially open tomorrow. The price for each pack of Huazi will be one top-grade Spirit Stone. I look forward to your arrival!”

Li Xiaobai advertised for himself with a smile.

A pack of Huazi for one top-grade Spirit Stone was downright cheap considering its effects.

A single top-grade Spirit Stone, even if used for cultivation, might not result in much of a breakthrough. But if exchanged for Huazi, just one puff could instantly enable one to comprehend the Dao.

Who wouldn’t want such a cheap treasure?

He believed that starting tomorrow, his wallet would swell up once again.

Perhaps the cultivators on the frontier were too poor to afford Huazi, but no worries. He believed Cai Kunxu, in order to make the fourth battlefield solid as a rock, would take the initiative to dig into his own pocket and make a bulk purchase for the cultivators.

By then, a large influx of Spirit Stones would surely come his way, earning him a fortune.

“Thank you, Young Master Li!”

The cultivators were deeply grateful. Just one top-grade Spirit Stone could actually be exchanged for a whole pack of divine substance, it was absolutely a blood-letting sale.

The big shot was willing to spend generously on such divine substance for their safety, and even build a Teleportation Formation for them, a treatment not even the first battlefield had.

Indeed, a truly powerful figure, so impressive.

Li Xiaobai nodded with a smile in acknowledgment. The cost price of Huazi was ten Lower Grade Spirit Stones per pack. He turned around and made hundreds to thousands of times more profit; he truly was a business prodigy.

Once the store was stable in the frontier, he could try to advance towards the Central Province.

The Teleportation Formation was also a cheap product, merely requiring a bit of manpower to construct, but that was not a problem with so many cultivators around.

After casually throwing down a blueprint, Xiaobai left.

The biggest weakness of the Holy City was the lack of foot traffic, and a good store could definitely be an excellent way to attract customers.

When night fell, Xiaobai arrived in the Holy City.

Yang Guang had already learned about the situation in the fourth battlefield, and at this moment, he was very excited. He did not expect Xiaobai to actually have such a powerful trump card up his sleeve.

And to open a store within the Holy City, it was simply a blessing for the city.

Without further ado, he directly allocated the most central store location in the city to Xiaobai. This plot of land, close to the City Lord’s Mansion, was absolutely the most bustling area.

It was a three-story building. The first floor required no modification and was immediately adorned with the store’s sign by Xiaobai.

Seeing Xiaobai take out a mountainous stack of Huazi, Yang Guang was so shocked he almost swallowed his tongue.

This was a Divine Artifact, a substance that allowed him to make breakthroughs with just one puff. The other party casually had a mountain of it, and it was just extravagantly wealthy!

Yang Guang felt the urge to plunder the store, but he restrained himself. The other party was a big shot, and he was no match for him.

Li Xiaobai, stroking his chin, murmured to himself.

“The second and third floors are a waste just sitting idle. Let’s convert them into a bathhouse. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a good soak.”
