1063 Limitless Bloodlust

"The Sky Whales faction is a top 50 faction in the entire Nine Heavens, not to mention that within their alliance there is a top 10 faction. I cannot attack them without any reasons, especially considering my faction's reputation. You're asking for the impossible." Xu Jiaqi said with a deep frown on her face.

"I am well aware of your faction's reputation. Celestial Overlord, the number one righteous faction in the nine heavens and also a top 3 faction. However, who said anything about attacking the Sky Whales faction without a reason? If you want a reason, I will give you one. The current leader of the Sky Whales faction Immortal Tongshi, is actually a heretic— a Demon Worshiper."

"What?!" Xu Jiaqi's eyes widened with shock.

"Where did you get that information? I swear, if you're lying to convince me to attack them…"

"If you don't believe me, go investigate it yourself. I will even give you my sources. Also, have you forgotten my identity? Do you think I would lie to you about something like this?"

Xu Jiaqi narrowed her eyes and pondered, 'If it's true— that Immortal Tongshi is a Demon  Worshiper, we have all the right to execute him.'

"I will let you know my decision in a week after I am finished with my investigation." Xu Jiaqi said a moment later.

"Take all the time you need." Lady Xiang smiled.

Xu Jiaqi left the villa shortly after.

Meanwhile, Yuan looked through the fifth floor of the Myriad of Technique after returning.

Most of the techniques on the fifth floor were Divine-rank cultivation techniques, and although there were a few interesting ones, none of them were really appealing enough for him to learn.

After looking through all of the techniques, Yuan met up with Meixiu and the others.

"Did you guys find anything you like?" He asked.

"I didn't." Chu Liuxiang shook her head, and she continued, "I am still learning the techniques I acquired the last time we came here. Also, none of the techniques here suit me."

"Me too." Meixiu said.

"Um… I found one that I like, but it's a Divine-rank technique…" Li Jinxi said.

"Oh? What kind of technique is it?" Yuan asked, his interest piqued.

"It's called Limitless Bloodlust. It allows me to grow stronger with every magical beast that I kill. I think this is a very fitting technique for me." She said.

"Oh? That sounds very similar to my innate ability that allows me to grow stronger as I consume my enemies." Lan Yingying said. 

"Indeed, and it's the perfect technique for someone like you." Yuan smiled.

"If there's nothing else, let's check out." He then said.

Sometime later, they went to pay for the Li Jinxi's technique.

"This technique will cost you 70 million spirit stones." The young man behind the desk said.

"70 million spirit stones…" Yuan's eyebrows twitched when he heard the price tag.

'I have underestimated the price of a Divine-rank technique! However, even if it's a Divine-rank technique, isn't it a little too expensive?' Yuan wondered to himself.

When the young man saw Yuan's frozen expression, he smiled and explained, "This technique may be a Divine-rank technique, but its potential is actually closer to Ancient-rank, hence why it's so much more expensive than the average Divine-rank technique."

"70 million spirit stones is too much, Yuan. I appreciate the thought, but I cannot let you spend that much money on me." Li Jinxi said with a bittersweet smile on her face.

Clearly, she liked the technique very much and would be disappointed to not acquire it, but she didn't want to be unreasonable, nor could she afford it by herself.

Feng Yuxiang glanced at Li Jinx for a second before speaking, "I'll pay for it."

"Eh?" Everyone there turned to look at her.

"Why would you…?" Li Jinxi asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"You're my Young Master's precious friend, and I cannot allow him to lose face over something like this." Feng Yuxiang said with her body emanating a prideful aura.

Yuan didn't object to this and said, "I will pay you back as soon as possible, Feng Feng."

After all, he also believed that this technique would benefit Li Jinxi greatly and wanted her to have it.

Sometime later, Feng Yuxiang paid 70 million spirit stones to the young man.

After counting it, he handed the technique over to Li Jinxi.

"Good luck."

"Thank you, Madam Feng, thank you, Yuan. I will not forget this debt." Li Jinxi bowed to them after they left the Myriad of Techniques.

"Don't mention it." Feng Yuxiang smiled.

"What are we going to do now, Yuan?" Chu Liuxiang asked him.

"I am going to visit Tian Chenyu's old home," he said.

"If you don't mind, I want to cultivate this new technique." Li Jinxi suddenly said, as she could barely hold her excitement.

Yuan nodded, "Sure. I'm sure there's a Cultivators' Haven in this city. Let's stop by that place first then."

After asking for directions, they went straight to the Cultivators' Haven.

Yuan helped Li Jinxi pay for their best room.

"Yuan, I would also like to cultivate by myself for a while." Meixiu suddenly said, "I have been ignoring my cultivation in this world for a while now, and I don't want to be too far behind and become a burden."

When she heard Meixiu's words, Chu Liuxiang also decided to stay behind, "Then I will stay as well."

"I don't mind. How long do you guys want to cultivate?" Yuan asked them.

"How does two weeks sound?" Li Jinxi said.

"Alright. Then I will come get you guys in two weeks." Yuan nodded.

In the end, he rented three of the best rooms in the Cultivators' Haven for 2 weeks. 

"See you in two weeks, Yuan." The ladies said to him before going into their respective rooms to cultivate.

"I'll see you guys later." Yuan left the Cultivators' Haven shortly after.

"Now then, let's go visit my old home, shall we?" A smile appeared on Yuan's face as he began approaching Tian Chenyu's home.
