Chapter 25: Senior Brother, Can You Slow Down a Little?

Xue Ba's expression was filled with terror.

At this moment, he finally understood that the person who had severely injured the Manager was not anyone else, but Li Xuanfeng right in front of him!

However, the House of All Affairs had previously investigated through a Formation; wasn't Li Xuanfeng only at the ninth level of the Spirit Aperture Realm Peak?

How did he suddenly become the eighth level of the Qi Cyclone Realm?

There was a difference of eight minor Realms between them!

And one of them was a major Realm barrier!

If someone said Li Xuanfeng had broken through, Xue Ba would definitely not believe it!

Because only two days had passed!

It had taken him over twenty years—nearly thirty—to break through from the ninth level of the Spirit Aperture Realm Peak to the eighth level of the Qi Cyclone Realm!

Although the main reason was his poor talent, even with good talent, it was impossible to be this fast, right?

Two days comparable to his twenty or thirty years?

What kind of joke was this?!

At least within Xue Ba's knowledge, no such terrifying Genius existed!

Or rather, he had never witnessed such a Genius.

He felt that Li Xuanfeng must have some secret technique to conceal his true Realm, a technique that had bypassed the detection of the Formation within the House of All Affairs.

"I originally thought a Spirit Sea Realm Cultivator could at least trade a few blows with me, but I didn't expect you to be so fragile!"

Li Xuanfeng held his Green Peak Sword and approached Xue Ba.

"Who exactly are you?"

Xue Ba held his longsword, his footsteps shifting backward.

From Li Xuanfeng's single move just now, he knew he was no match for him.

There were geniuses in this world capable of fighting above their level, and clearly, Li Xuanfeng was one of them.

He and Xue Jiu had only forcibly reached the Spirit Sea Realm by overdrawing their potential and consuming special Medicinal Pills; their strength was at the very bottom of the Spirit Sea Realm!

Bullying ordinary Qi Cyclone Realm Cultivators was fine; they could crush them easily.

But they didn't have the ability to bully a true Qi Cyclone Realm Prodigy.

To put it bluntly, Cultivators like them were specifically meant to be stepping stones for prodigies!

"I am exactly the 'Blood Food' you were talking about!"

Li Xuanfeng approached step by step.

After discovering that Xue Ba had completely lost his fighting spirit, he also lost interest.

"Die!"

Executing the Earth-Grade Martial Skill 'Ten Thousand Paths of Lost Trails', Li Xuanfeng's figure vanished from the spot.

Before Xue Ba could react to what was happening, he saw his own headless corpse.

Subsequently, his consciousness quickly dissipated and flowed away, as everything fell into silence.

"This time, the House of All Affairs… might have provoked someone they shouldn't have…"

This was Xue Ba's final thought before his consciousness vanished.

"It's time for the loot-scavenging phase again!"

Li Xuanfeng sheathed his longsword.

Scavenging loot was something he quite enjoyed; even if he wasn't satisfied, he could still use Wei Qingyan to trigger a reward once.

"How can there be such poor Spirit Sea Realm Cultivators?"

After searching repeatedly, Li Xuanfeng was somewhat surprised.

Because on Xue Ba and Xue Jiu's bodies, he only found three types of things.

Storage rings, Spirit Stones, and longswords.

Of course, there were other miscellaneous items like clothes, but Li Xuanfeng was not interested.

"The two of them combined aren't even as wealthy as that Manager!"

Li Xuanfeng felt helpless.

Fortunately, there were some Spirit Stones, and both of their longswords were Tier 3 High Grade Spiritual Artifacts, which had some value when converted.

In fact, it wasn't that Xue Ba and Xue Jiu weren't as wealthy as the Manager, but rather that they consumed and used any resources as soon as they got them.

They had been forcibly elevated to the Spirit Sea Realm, and their potential was exhausted, but they were still somewhat unwilling in their hearts.

Even if the hope of improvement was slim, they would use everything on themselves to try; the result was that they used resources as soon as they had them, leaving no surplus.

"Forget it, let's start the reward trigger!"

Li Xuanfeng took the loot and walked into the Lost Trail Formation.

When Xue Ba and Xue Jiu were enveloped by the Formation, Wei Qingyan had paused her cultivation; she already knew about Li Xuanfeng's instant kill of the two Spirit Sea Realm Cultivators.

That staggering strength left Wei Qingyan in a daze.

What exactly was the situation with this Senior Brother of hers?

Whenever she broke through and felt she had finally closed the distance a little, she would find that the gap had actually grown even wider!

Now he could even insta-kill Cultivators at the first level of the Spirit Sea Realm!

Even the sword spirit fell silent.

Only yesterday morning, she had told Wei Qingyan that the sixth level of the Qi Cyclone Realm should be the full extent of Li Xuanfeng's strength.

She didn't expect him to turn into the eighth level of the Qi Cyclone Realm in the blink of an eye!

How much power was he hiding?

What was the point of hiding so much power?

Moreover, every time he generously gave the loot to Wei Qingyan; did he really have inexhaustible resources and completely disregard these gains?

Look!

He was coming with the loot again!

Even thinking with her toes, the sword spirit knew Li Xuanfeng was going to give it to Wei Qingyan again.

"What kind of Divine Being is this!"

The sword spirit couldn't figure it out.

"Here!"

Li Xuanfeng didn't bother saying much and directly handed all the resources to Wei Qingyan.

"Senior Brother… can you slow down a little?"

Wei Qingyan felt it was somewhat surreal.

The speed at which her strength improved could not keep up with the speed at which Li Xuanfeng gave her resources.

However, she still took the items.

She knew that if she didn't take them, Senior Brother would definitely be unhappy.

[Ding! Wei Qingyan has obtained two 10-cubic-meter storage rings. Hundred-fold return triggered. You have obtained two hundred 10-cubic-meter storage rings!]

Looking at the two hundred storage rings floating quietly in the System space, Li Xuanfeng almost thought he had become a storage ring wholesaler!

He didn't lack storage rings, but it was good to keep them; they didn't take up much space, and in the future, he could find a place to exchange the useless resources returned by the System.

[Ding! Wei Qingyan has obtained 30 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones and 430 Low-Grade Spirit Stones. Hundred-fold return triggered. You have obtained 3,000 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones and 43,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones!]

As the System notification sound faded, Li Xuanfeng's small mountain of Spirit Stones grew even higher.

[Ding! Wei Qingyan has obtained the Tier 3 High Grade Spiritual Artifact, Black Blood Sword. Hundred-fold return triggered. You have obtained the Tier 4 High Grade Spiritual Artifact, Azure Water Sword!]

A Tier 4 Spiritual Artifact could be used by any Qi Sea Realm Cultivator; even some Core Condensation Realm Cultivators only used Tier 4 High Grade Spiritual Artifacts.

"This is the strongest Spiritual Artifact I currently possess!"

Li Xuanfeng thought to himself.

[Ding! Wei Qingyan has obtained a Tier 3 High Grade longsword. Hundred-fold return triggered. You have obtained one hundred Tier 3 High Grade longswords!]

"This time it's a quantity return. I can just give the previous hundred Tier 3 Medium Grade longswords to Wei Qingyan to practice the 'Nine-Nine Returning to One Sword Technique'!"

Li Xuanfeng thought.

Originally, this loot was very average, but with the System's hundred-fold return, Li Xuanfeng still made a huge profit!

Never a loss!

"I see your cultivation has also broken through; it probably won't be long before you can try cultivating the 'Nine-Nine Returning to One Sword Technique'!"

"I said before I'd find a way regarding the longswords. Actually, I don't need to think about it, I've always had them. I might as well give them to you now!"

As Li Xuanfeng spoke, he took out the hundred Tier 3 Medium Grade longswords previously returned by the System.

Looking at the densely packed longswords floating in front of her, Wei Qingyan was completely stunned!

She felt that her Senior Brother wasn't a person!

But a cultivation resource manufacturing machine!

If she relied on herself, obtaining a single Tier 3 Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact would require a significant price, and it wouldn't be easily obtained.

Li Xuanfeng casually pulled out a hundred?

This kind of grand gesture directly shocked Wei Qingyan for an entire year!

The sword spirit within the broken sword also looked dazed.

Is Li Xuanfeng a Spiritual Artifact wholesaler?

Where did so many Tier 3 Medium Grade longswords come from?

The entire net worth of many Spirit Aperture Realm Cultivators might only be worth one Tier 3 Medium Grade longsword, and it was also a considerable asset for those in the Qi Cyclone Realm, yet he pulled out a hundred at once?

"This… he… I… uh…"

The sword spirit's mind was a bit incoherent.

Li Xuanfeng's actions, time and time again, directly refreshed her understanding of the world!

This guy couldn't be the Young Lord of some super power who looted his own family's treasury, hid his identity, and ran out specifically to squander it, right?

The sword spirit really couldn't figure out Li Xuanfeng's origin and could only fill in the blanks with various theories.

"Alright, I won't disturb your cultivation anymore!"

Li Xuanfeng waved his hand and walked out of the Lost Trail Formation.

Wei Qingyan stood in place and remained silent for a long time.

"Sister Sword Spirit, continue to help me Cultivate!"

"I can't slack off for a single moment. I must work hard, work hard, and work even harder to close the gap between me and Senior Brother as much as possible!"

"Even if it's just a little bit!"
