Chapter 87: The local celebrity; The hunts begans.
"Genius, simply a genius..."
"Is he from hidden sects?"
"Look at his age, his cultivation is on par with mine..."
"The mountain is tall but there are even taller ones, what a genius..."
People instantly began to murmur looking at Bai Long, speculating that he must be from a powerful family or sect. However, he wasn’t wearing any jade tokens of a family, like a humble cultivator ready to experience life.
"Didn’t that old man say something like this genius has three supreme bones?"
"Look at his presence, so serene like an immortal unsoiled by mundane flow,"
Feeling their gaze, Bai Long made a calm sophisticated face. He was like a celebrity, at least for now.
He might soon be famous and since he isn’t in any sect, many powerful sects would fight to have him in their sect. Bai Long could already feel his happy him.
He still had three 3-minor-realm break break-through cards, he could instantly reach the peak of the soul wandering realm, and adding another pill, he could reach the nascent soul realm.
Obviously, he would use the pill first and cards later on, to skip the tribulation however Bai Long wasn’t in a hurry to do so.
Those who focus too much on smaller things will never grasp the bigger picture. Bai Long wasn’t like that. Unless it’s completely necessary he will preserve those as his temp card.
"Junior, dare to spar with me?" Suddenly a Buddhist monk, clad in a yellow monk robe, holding a Buddhist bead came forward. He had a bald head and calm, composed eyes.
Eh? Bai Long was confused seeing this monk, nonetheless, he agreed to spar.
The monk was merely at the fourth stage of foundation realm, but at the age of 60-70, that’s an average genius-level talent right there.
"Then, please guide me..." The monk said, his fist was instantly covered in a yellow aura.
He was a disciple of the Shaolin monk temple, and this was the Yellow Fist technique, one of the starting phases to learn the ultimate Buddha palm.
It is said that the Buddha palm is the strongest technique in the world far surpassing any other spiritual art or martial art techniques.
The monk was fast, accurate, and ruthless, his fist was full of power yet, Bai Long stopped his fist with merely one finger.
Woosh!
Bai Long was calm, as the aftershock made his major float, making him look like an untouchable entity.
He was aura farming.
Woosh!
The next instance a marvelous transparent soul-like lotus appeared in the sky, instantly freezing the air and water nearby.
This was the calamity Ice Lotus technique that Bai Long comprehended after absorbing the Calamity Ice Lotus.
"Whoa, what a profound art... I can feel my soul freezing,"
"That’s a lotus... A soul lotus..."
"The monk sees once, is shocked twice..."
The monk had a confused face, what profound art is this? With the sheer presence alone, the monk could feel his soul and blood freezing, what would happen if he were to be hit by that technique?
He dared not even think about it, he cupped his fists and admitted defeat earnestly, "Young Master is unparalleled, this monk accepts defeat..."
"Whoa, that monk admitted defeat," One guy said in shock while others looked at him as if they were looking at a fool.
Anyone with intelligence would quietly admit defeat.
Bai Long looked at Monk leaving and meeting with his friends. Among the group, a senior monk was looking at Bai Long with a smile.
It wasn’t hard to tell that the monk who just requested to spar was sent to test the depth of the water.
Just what could be the intention of that senior Monk?
Bai Long had no intention of joining Buddhist sects, nor did he have any interest in becoming bald.
His current identity was just a humble cultivator.
"He is pretty handsome too."
"Indeed, I wonder what his identity is."
Few women gossip among themselves.
One Mature woman clad in elegant blue floral hanfu with a lotus pattern came before Bai Long.
She is very pretty with a calm expression. Her body looks soft and curvy, her eyes are gentle, and her lips are soft.
She possessed ethereal elegance, who from a glance, looks like she is in her 30s but who dares ask a woman of her age?
Her long dark hair is tied up in an elaborate bun. She is also wearing a jade crown.
She looks like a royal, elegant, and beautiful woman.
"May I ask what is Young Master’s name and identity?" She asked with a smile on her face.
"I am Bai Long. I am a humble cultivator traveling through the land," Bai Long replied calmly, giving a polite smile.
"Young Master Bai, I am Shui Li, a member of the Shui family. If Young Master doesn’t have a place to stay, you are welcome to stay at my house," she said with a gentle smile.
Bai Long could feel some intention of taking advantage of him from her. Her body was very soft, and her aura was very gentle.
Bai Long was a little interested, but he still refused.
"I apologize, I already have a place to stay. Thank you for your kindness," he replied politely.
"I see, then, I hope we can meet again," she said giving a jade token, she didn’t want to force him.
She walked away, but she still kept a close eye on Bai Long, she wanted to get closer to him.
"Such a beauty, how come she is so kind?"
"She is the Young Miss of the Shui family, she is a beauty. How come Young Master rejected her offer?"
"Ah, I see, such a beauty..."
Many people whispered among themselves, looking at the Shui Young Miss. She was a beautiful woman, and many of them wanted to be with her.
Bai Long didn’t care about their words, why would such a woman want to get close to him? There must be some hidden intention.
..
The Shui family was a merchant family, its power wasn’t that great however the influence was unquestionable.
Another day,
The next round of the Empire’s tournament has started, it was a sect vs sect battle.
Bai Huan’s sect: the Great Autumn Holy Land: was already disqualified.
Bai Long watched the fight and it wasn’t much interesting.
It seems Gu Fuang Chu is from the Kan Dragon Palace, and as the name suggests, it is a sect that focuses on the water element.
It is a powerful Diamond rank sect, no less compared to the great Autumn Holy land.
Disciples of the Kan dragon palace had a dragon-like pattern of scales on the back of their robes and a jade crown on their heads.
They were clad in black robes with purple patterns.
They look majestic.
Young Master Gu was at the fourth stage of the great foundation realm and was using the water element technique to defeat the opponent. He had a cold, ruthless smile on his face.
Bai Long instantly recognized him.
He had a different aura, a system aura, a ruthless aura, and a cold, cruel aura.
Bai Long was sure, the moment he saw him, he could tell that this guy wasn’t reincarnated from earth.
"System, can his system sense me?" Bai Long asked the most important question.
[ Yes it can. But it is unknown if he knows or not, systems by default are meant to hide the identity of other system users, so, it’s a double-edged sword. In order to gain even the slightest information you need to but a lot of points. ]
Ooh, that means if Bai Long stands out, Young master Gu has a chance to know about him. But from the looks of it, Young master Gu seems to be sending his points on other things.
Array to cover the entire valley? He must have burned a lot of points, but there is also the possibility that the array was someone else’s work, someone Saint at making an array.
But what is the identity of Array Saint?
Regardless, it’s very essential to be cautious.
’I need to kill this guy as quickly as possible...’ Bai Long thought, but it won’t be easy.
Young master Gu doesn’t visit outside often, so, finding him alone is impossible, and killing Young master Gu in his family area is impossible.
"I should focus on Bai Huan... But that cockroach is hiding again," Bai Long muttered under his breath. That Bai Huan is moving too fast with 3 hours, his place was changed twice and Bai Long burned 12k points for that.
Thinking logically, Bai Huan seems to be moving so, going to the last location system revealed is pointless, because Bai Huan will already be in the next location.
Fuck, how come this Young master Gu can kill the protagonist, but he can’t?
Just them,
"Little brat, look above..." The voice from the mirror came by.
Bai Long looked above only to see a cold, stern woman with the family token of the Gu family. She seems to be a high-value member of the Gu family, based on the token
It was made from imperial jade with a faint breath of spiritual aura.
"She seems to be a woman from the Gu Family," Bai Long said.
She was sitting in the high place, watching the tournament.
"That guy Gu and she have the same blood, she must be his mother... She is very old, she is at the first stage of the nascent soul realm."
In the cultivation world marrying at the age of 500 and giving birth to the first child at 1000 isn’t something magical.
Bai Long instantly knew what he had to do, he had a sinister grin.
"I See... I see..."
"System, create me a detailed plan to tame her..."
