Chapter 558: 558
 

Jiang Xiaobai was quite speechless.

How could his master be so unreliable. Calling him over to give instructions, then ending the discussion within ten seconds?

“What are you looking at? I’m incredibly busy. Don’t waste my time.”

Gu Ning rolled her eyes at Jiang Xiaobai.

“Forget it, with an unreliable master like you, I wouldn’t even know if I was sold one day.”

Having said this, Jiang Xiaobai threw a storage ring to Gu Ning. It contained ten thousand medium-grade spirit stones. All in all, they should be worth five million low-grade spirit stones, right?

Upon seeing what was inside the storage ring, Gu Ning stared in disbelief.

She incredulously looked at the storage ring, then at Jiang Xiaobai, her eyes filled with astonishment.

There’s absolutely no way for medium-grade spirit stones to appear in this place!

“Where did you get this from?”

“Cough, don’t worry about it. It’s the first time I’ve seen a disciple spoil his master like this. In other families, it’s the master who gives good things to his disciple, but here I am giving you good things.”

“This really is a sign of the degeneration of the times.”

Jiang Xiaobai waved at Gu Ning, then left the golden hall with his hands behind his head. Leaving Gu Ning sitting alone on the throne, staring at the storage ring with a bewildered face.

She could not believe that a medium-grade spirit stone could have appeared in such a dump of a world!

The five hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones she initially gave Jiang Xiaobai were all she had. She thought that even if she gave them, they would have little use.

But who would have thought that Jiang Xiaobai was so impressive, he managed to get medium-grade spirit stones?

“This kid…”

She initially wanted to chase after him and ask, the presence of medium-grade spirit stones here was extremely abnormal, but she felt reassured when she recalled Jiang Xiaobai’s instance of attracting the thunder tribulation a few days ago.

After all, the appearance of thunder tribulation in this remote world was also impossible.

Let alone the Ancient Purple Sky Dragon Tribulation!

“It seems that old man didn’t lie to me. If Jiang Xiaobai is here, is there a chance things could work out?”

Gu Ning narrowed her eyes, falling into deep thought.

Of course, Jiang Xiaobai wouldn’t care about what Gu Ning was thinking about, and scurried off to his small courtyard.

Ao Yan, Ao Cheng, AnRan, and the others were all sitting in the courtyard, sipping tea.

“How does it feel to be struck by thunder?” Ao Cheng asked, grinning at Jiang Xiaobai.

“Get lost, it wasn’t pleasant at all. Stop making snide remarks.”

Jiang Xiaobai stretched his body and then jokingly looked at the crowd: “So, how long was I unconscious this time?”

“Five days.” Mo Yu answered, a glimmer of light could be seen in her eyes.

She seemed to know what Jiang Xiaobai was planning to do now.

She hadn’t yet avenged Mo Feng’s grudge!

“Hehe, you guys seem to be doing well with your cultivation, isn’t Anran already in the Unity Period?”

Jiang Xiaobai looked at them with a broad smile on his face: “Since that’s the case, you must be going stir-crazy, eh? How about we go out for a stroll?”

“Great, I’ve been waiting for this for a long time. Staying in for three months was suffocating!”

Ao Cheng immediately burst out laughing: “Let’s go, Jiang Xiaobai. I must see for myself how fun Floraluilding in the holy city can be.”

Smack!

Ao Yan promptly slapped him on the head as soon as he finished speaking.

“Don’t show off here.”

Ao Yan glanced at Ao Cheng, then turned her soft gaze to Jiang Xiaobai: “Let’s go. We can discuss other matters after we explore a bit.”

“Walking around after cultivation can also help improve your skills.”

“Yes, yes, yes, listen to my sister. If my sister says walk, we walk.”

Ao Cheng hurriedly chuckled, which immediately drew laughter from those around him.

He didn’t feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he huddled close to Anran, mumbling something with a smirk on his face.

Jiang Xiaobai didn’t respond. He waved his hand and led everyone out of the small courtyard.

They’d been in the royal city for so long without ever going out to explore!

…

The royal city was still reeling from the celestial tribulation that occurred previously. The most discussed topic on the streets was the tribulation cloud.

After all, the situation back then was truly horrifying.

And until now, no one knew how the tribulation cloud came about.

A few curious souls found out that the centre of the tribulation cloud was over the Blood Mist Pavilion, the very centre of the royal city– a place of absolute terror.

Someone speculated that it was the Pavilion Master of the Blood Mist Pavilion who ascended in broad daylight, breaking the limits of this world with his strength!

However, this brilliant hypothesis is hardly credible. People from the outskirts or from other places might believe it,

but the many big shots within the royal city know for a fact that there is absolutely no one in the royal city who could possibly ascend in broad daylight. It’s nearly impossible on the entire Tianxuan Continent.

There is only one place that is possible!

But without a doubt, everyone was still engulfed in the incident of the celestial tribulation, unable to pull themselves out of it.

Jiang Xiaobai and the others did not disguise themselves, and walked openly on the streets, calmly observing the bustling crowd around them.

Listening to all the discussions about the tribulation cloud, they almost burst out laughing.

If not for the fear of causing a scene, they would really have laughed.

“Jiang Xiaobai, you’ve really stirred up a lot of trouble this time.” Ao Cheng laughed.

In response, Jiang Xiaobai smiled wryly and shook his head. He didn’t want to cause the thunder tribulation either.

Who would have known that what he did would violate the boundaries of the Heavenly Dao. Luckily, he did not choose another path, otherwise he would have been obliterated by the Heavenly Dao on the spot.

Of course, Jiang Xiaobai did ponder over one thing– whether the system was more powerful, or the Heavenly Dao.

However, he knew that such a comparison was meaningless.

Shaking his head and ignoring the others’ teasing, Jiang Xiaobai and his friends left the central area of the royal city.

They didn’t specifically aim to leave, but there were too few places to play in this district

There were only eight forces in the central area of the royal city, each controlling their own prime spots.

There was no city here, no shops or wine houses, only an auction house.

Apart from this, there was nothing. It was like a sacred land.

So if they wanted to stroll around, they had to leave the central area. Before long, they arrived at the truly bustling place.

It was crowded with voices everywhere, creating a lively scene.

The group found a tavern and began eating and drinking. Three months indoors had been too long for them.

Every day they were just cultivating. How could that be as interesting as drinking?

But to Jiang Xiaobai’s surprise, no sooner had they sat down than a group of people entered the tavern.

They were dressed in the disciple garments of the Towards Heaven Sect.

It seemed that these people had come to drink too. But before they had even sat down, they saw Jiang Xiaobai!

The leading man pointed at Jiang Xiaobai with a savage look on his face and roared out loud.

“Jiang Xiaobai!”

As soon as these words were uttered, the entire hall fell silent. Everyone’s gaze was directed towards Jiang Xiaobai.

But Jiang Xiaobai was calm, with a hint of disdain and contempt in his eyes!
