Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1810: Chapter 1813: Land of Ten Thousand Thunderbolts: Peril or Opportunity?

”Life or death, I’m well aware of it myself. Bring the wine! If I finish it, great, if not, I’ll kneel and apologize to the Princess Consort. How about that?”

Ling Xiao said calmly.

”Bring the wine!”

The Princess Consort’s mouth twitched fiercely, thinking to herself that she indeed encountered a freak today.

This fake Ling Xiao, what exactly is his body made of to be so formidable that even the Five Poison Holy Wine couldn’t harm him?

A hundred jars of exquisite wine were brought up.

Ling Xiao appeared to drink them all in front of everyone, but in reality, he only drank one jar, with the remaining ninety-nine directly stored in the Mountain and River World.

The Butterfly Girl, that little glutton, drank them all.

This little one was a treasure, an absolute lifesaver for Ling Xiao.

Properly nurturing her was indeed crucial for Ling Xiao.

After drinking the ninety-nine jars of Five Poison Holy Wine, the Butterfly Girl’s body emanated a rainbow glow, becoming noticeably stronger.

Then she abruptly fell asleep.

”Disciple, ask for more. This is good wine and useful for alchemy in the future. Anyway, since it’s on someone else’s tab, might as well take advantage,”

At this point, Yuan Venerate transmitted this to Ling Xiao’s soul.

Ling Xiao already had this intention.

”Bring another hundred jars!”

Ling Xiao looked at the Princess Consort.

Another hundred jars, that would be ten million mid-grade spirit stones. Even the Princess Consort would feel the pinch.

Who would have thought Ling Xiao, after drinking a hundred jars, would ask for more? This guy was simply like a bottomless pit.

However, fortunately, a message from the counter came saying that there were only fifty jars of the Five Poison Holy Wine left, no more.

The Princess Consort finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn’t know what kind of monster Ling Xiao was, but had a premonition that if this continued, she’d genuinely be bankrupt today.

”Haha, Brother Ling, you’ve certainly opened our eyes today. Since the Princess Consort gave so generously, as the host of Qijing Tower, I ought to offer something as well.”

Fan Ruohai, noticing this was about enough, chuckled and said, ”The items Brother Ling requested earlier, excluding the Five Poison Holy Wine, will be on me. Consider it my treat.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was surprised.

Fan Ruohai was rarely so generous; today, not only did he risk offending the Fengmo Shengjian for Ling Xiao, but also offered him fine food and drink for free. What was the motive?

Ling Xiao, however, understood clearly. Fan Ruohai likely recognized his identity.

That’s why he was eager to befriend him.

Ling Xiao didn’t mind; after all, a conflict between the Fan Family and the Tianhai Clan seemed inevitable, and harmonious relations with the Tianhai Clan seemed unlikely.

Fan Ruohai wanted to draw him in, and he needed Fan Ruohai, so it was mutually beneficial.

”Then I must thank Young Master Fan. Let me know if there’s anything I can do for you in the future,”

Ling Xiao replied with a smile, accepting Fan Ruohai’s goodwill.

”Prepare everything and package it for Brother Ling so he can take it away.”

Fan Ruohai was pleased because Ling Xiao did not show deference to the Princess Consort but did to him, proving that his efforts were worthwhile.

He had plenty of money; as the heir to the wealthiest Fan Family on the White Tiger Continent, he wasn’t afraid to spend it.

The key was to spend money wisely.

Ling Xiao, having acquired what he wanted, placed them in his Storage Ring, thanked Fan Ruohai again, and then left.

In this world, there is no hatred without reason, just as there is no love without reason.

Fan Ruohai’s intentions were clear to Ling Xiao, but he didn’t resent them.

Expecting others to give you things for free is too naive.

Upon returning to Yingjie Building, Ling Xiao took out the delicacies from Qijing Tower to share with everyone.

The Ice Dragon Wine and Fire Dragon Wine were specifically requested for Lan Xue and Red Moon.

He had carefully examined these two girls’ conditions, confirming they, like Joshua Long, were Dragon Clan descendants.

However, Joshua Long is a Golden Giant Dragon descendant, while Lan Xue is an Ice Frost Giant Dragon descendant, and Red Moon is a Red Flame Giant Dragon descendant.

The Ice Dragon Wine and Fire Dragon Wine were meant to further unleash Lan Xue and Red Moon’s dragon lineage potential.

As for everyone else, they each gained their own benefits.

The products from Qijing Tower, be it fine wines or delicacies, offered significant advantages for cultivation.

So after enjoying the food and drinks, everyone began cultivating together.

Ling Xiao sat alone on the rooftop, acting as a protector.

Having already consumed hundreds of jars of Five Poison Holy Wine at Qijing Tower today, indulging further wouldn’t be very effective.

After all, the accumulation of such wine and food’s effects diminishes over time.

Fortunately, the breakthrough in cultivation level had already happened; now, he only needed to consolidate it.

For two consecutive days, they spent their time this way.

During this time, the kings of the Four Great Empires met with the Zhengyi Sect Master, proposing to increase the main match’s participant slots.

The Zhengyi Sect Master did not oppose it.

”It really is strange. Our people in Surprise Thunder City noticed the Land of Ten Thousand Thunderbolts has undergone more intense changes; many originally sealed relics within the forbidden area have awakened.

But I must warn you, do not rejoice too soon. You can expand the slots, but not too much; otherwise, not many martial artists from the Four Nations and One Sect will return alive.”

Zhengyi Sect, as the most powerful entity on the White Tiger Continent, dominates even the Four Great Empires.

Many of the Four Great Empires’ genius martial artists eventually join the Zhengyi Sect.

Thus, they also wish to avoid the loss of talent.

They reduced the White Tiger Summit’s contestants due to the increasing dangers and madness felt within the Land of Ten Thousand Thunderbolts.

But since the Four Great Empires were insistent, they agreed to increase the slots.

Each empire expanded their slots to an additional twenty participants, leading to thirty total excluding Zhengyi Sect.

Tianhai Empire, with its five additional slots for the Dragon and Phoenix Continent, had thirty-five slots in total.

The Skysea King didn’t seem convinced by the Zhengyi Sect Master’s ominous warnings.

Back home, he assigned the task of selecting the remaining participants to Prince Wu and Prince Ethan Yun.

This time, the princes didn’t seek candidates from vassal states but granted all slots to native Tianhai Empire martial artists.

Thus, those like the Heavenly Sea Seven Little Saints, once ineligible for the White Tiger Summit, regained their chance.

Of course, Ling Xiao heard about this from Liu Lian, but he wasn’t concerned.

The forcefully added participants were merely cannon fodder.

If fortunate, they might gain some advantages, but without fortune, they’d face certain doom.

On the third day, Ling Xiao halted his cultivation.

He had fully consolidated his cultivation to the early stage of the twelfth level Yin-Yang Realm.

This realm provided him with greater confidence for the treacherous journey into the Land of Ten Thousand Thunderbolts.

As for the others, they also made breakthroughs.

Especially Lan Xue, Red Moon, and Joshua Long, the Dragon Clan descendants, their progress was so rapid that even Ling Xiao felt pressured.
