Capítulo 2029: Chapter 2026: I’m Too Poor! I, Lin Bai, Am Just a Pauper!
With Lin Bai’s current cultivation, though he merely possesses the Great Perfection of the Yangshen Realm, he still has many trump cards at his disposal. Even if he ventures into the depths of Evil Dragon Island now, he can still ensure his survival.
Deep within Evil Dragon Island, amidst a jungle.
Clad in a white robe, Lin Bai walked silently among the forest. After taking a few steps forward, suddenly, a large tree in the forest began to shake violently. The vines hanging from the branches swiftly coiled, then suddenly darted out from the shadows like sharp swords.
Lin Bai paused slightly, his gaze sharp, and murderous intent exploded from his eyes as he looked at the attacking vines.
Leaping into the air, Lin Bai glided through the vines like a butterfly. At that moment, the demonic sword appeared in Lin Bai’s hand, and a sword light directly struck the tree.
Roar—
A piercing scream echoed, revealing an aged and angry face on the trunk of the tree, roaring at Lin Bai.
“Tree Monster!”
Lin Bai chuckled lightly.
Immediately, the Tree Monster moved fiercely, and thousands of vines transformed into a net like a Heavenly Spider Web, simultaneously attacking Lin Bai’s body. As if to slice Lin Bai into pieces in an instant!
“Heaven-reaching Sword Skill Volume 3!”
Lin Bai smiled and moved with agility, like a ghost, passing through the Heavenly Spider Web. At the same time, several sharp sword auras slashed down, directly killing the Tree Monster under the sword.
The Tree Monster exploded, transforming into bouts of black mist, within which a fist-sized spiritual energy crystal floated.
Lin Bai walked over slowly, picked up the spiritual energy crystal, chuckled, and said, “Having been in the depths of Evil Dragon Island for over a month, this is the strongest Tree Monster I’ve encountered. I’m curious about the spiritual energy crystal of this Tree Monster!”
Carrying his anticipation, Lin Bai absorbed the spiritual energy crystal into his body!
“Indeed, compared to other Tree Monsters, the spiritual energy within the spiritual energy crystal is much more abundant.”
Lin Bai smiled triumphantly.
Since the day of parting with Suling Su, Lin Bai directly crossed the Sky Valley Mountain Range and entered the depths of Evil Dragon Island. Until today, Lin Bai has been cultivating deep within Evil Dragon Island for over a month!
During this past month, Lin Bai encountered many monsters from deep within, but the most numerous among them were Tree Monsters!
Most of these Tree Monsters are creatures at the second or third level of the Life-and-Death Realm. Lin Bai responded cautiously and found it quite difficult to slay them without deploying the Heaven-reaching Sword Skill.
“Heaven-reaching Sword Skill Volume 3 is currently the most useful trump card I have!”
“It’s also the card I handle most adeptly, with exceptionally apparent effectiveness!”
“But it’s a pity that using Heaven-reaching Sword Skill Volume 3 requires a significant amount of spiritual power. Even though I currently have the Five Elements Divine Pill, the spiritual power can’t sustain the Heaven-reaching Sword Skill for long!”
Lin Bai’s gaze darkened.
“If I don’t have enough spiritual power while deploying the Heaven-reaching Sword Skill, I fear it might end up like that time half a month ago, almost leading to my downfall…”
Lin Bai found a secluded spot, sat cross-legged, and rapidly restored the spiritual power within his body.
Half a month ago, Lin Bai fought a fierce battle deep within Evil Dragon Island.
At that time, Lin Bai had just entered the depths of Evil Dragon Island and was unfamiliar with the area, inadvertently stepping into a hunting zone of a Tree Monster and becoming surrounded by over a dozen Tree Monsters. Lin Bai had no choice but to deploy the Heaven-reaching Sword Skill and, after a few perilous twists, managed to escape severely injured.
Later, because Lin Bai had deployed the Heaven-reaching Sword Skill, within just a short moment, the spiritual power of the Five Elements Divine Pill within him was completely drained, leaving Lin Bai exceptionally weak. He then encountered other monsters and was nearly killed!
Lin Bai sat cross-legged and took out a small bottle from his storage bag, poured out a pill, and said, “Fortunately, I got some White Jade Pills from Zhu Fei; otherwise, half a month ago, I would have been in grave danger!”
Taking a White Jade Pill, Lin Bai said indifferently, “I got five White Jade Pills from Zhu Fei, and half a month ago, I took four at once. Now, after taking the fifth pill, there are no more White Jade Pills left.”
Lin Bai’s expression showed a hint of bitterness.
At this moment, Lin Bai felt the importance of pills.
Although Lin Bai doesn’t need pills to increase his cultivation or break through realms, he is in dire need of pills for recovering spiritual power and healing injuries.
Especially since Lin Bai’s cultivation isn’t high and he’s deep within the perilous Evil Dragon Island, healing pills and spiritual power recovery pills are even more crucial!
“It’s a pity I rushed in without buying any pills!”
“And I don’t have much spirit liquid… Just over seven hundred catties!”
Lin Bai opened his storage bag to check.
These over seven hundred catties of spirit liquid were obtained by slaying Zhu Fei and three of the four Huang Family brothers.
“Too poor!”
Lin Bai chuckled bitterly to himself, “I’ve realized that aside from my sword skills, I’m basically just a poor wretch!”
“Need pills, but no pills!”
“Need spirit liquid, but no spirit liquid!”
“Need magical treasure, but no magical treasure!”
“Too poor, Lin Bai is just a poor wretch!”
Lin Bai laughed self-deprecatingly, and if someone saw his expression, they would definitely ridicule him.
“There’s no way; once I leave Evil Dragon Island, I must find a solution for these aspects!”
“I can buy pills or make them myself. I have the memories of Dan Dao from Great Demon Zuo Yu, and not just ordinary pills, even King-Level Elixirs, I can refine them!”
“I can have magical treasures or do without them. As long as I have the Demonic Sword, it’s enough!”
“As for spirit liquid, I might ask Master Fang if there are any ways to make money!”
“Currently, what I lack most are pills and spirit liquid, especially spirit liquid… Spirit liquid not only serves as the currency within Dongzhou Academy but also plays a role for the Devouring Sword Spirit!”
Lin Bai secretly made up his mind to find a way to become wealthy once he returns to Dragon Raising Island!
“But now, I can’t leave Evil Dragon Island, as the predetermined date for unlocking the Sealed Dragon Well is approaching!”
“But given my current state, without pills, if I go to the Sealed Dragon Well now, I might find myself restrained, unable to perform well…”
“If only I could get some pills from somewhere, that would be great!”
Lin Bai’s eyes lit up as he spoke softly.
“On Evil Dragon Island, the easiest place to find pills is on the bodies of these warriors…”
“Killing for treasure is naturally the fastest way to get pills!”
“But I’m not bloodthirsty, and if warriors don’t provoke me, I won’t rashly launch surprise attacks like the Huang Family four brothers. That’s not what I’m aiming for…”
“Since I don’t want to kill for treasure, where else can I get pills?”
“Looking to buy pills from warriors? But I don’t have money, no spirit liquid…”
“I’m really just a poor wretch; without money, it’s tough to move a step!”
Lin Bai pondered bitterly for a long time, but he found no solution, because he was too poor, just a poor wretch!
