Chapter 66: The Beast Tide Is Coming!
“Growing up is perfectly normal!”
“However, its body is growing a bit fast; it’s almost catching up to yours!”
“Good thing we moved to a bigger house, or we’d really have trouble fitting it in!”
Su Xiaobai chuckled.
After the fall of the Yuan family, Su Xiaobai had no more concerns and could fully enjoy life. So, he took Su Ling’er and Xiao Bai Long, leaving their secluded residential house and returning to the bustling part of the base.
The villa they had before no longer appealed to him. He decisively spent nearly 20 million to buy an entire estate in the prosperous area of the base!
Initially, he had planned to buy in the core area. However, thinking about how the core area was filled with spies and so close to the big families, plus now having a little white dragon in tow, he realized that trouble might find them one day. So, he chose to stay on the outskirts instead.
“Ling’er, stay at home and take care of Xiao Bai Long while you cultivate. I’ll be out for a bit but will be back soon!”
“Remember, don’t take Xiao Bai Long outside, okay?”
Su Xiaobai donned a black cloak and mask. Seven days had passed, and it was time for his meeting at the black market.
“Okay, I’ll be good, and you come back soon, Brother!” Su Ling’er nodded obediently.
Leaving home, Su Xiaobai headed straight for the black market.
...
Having had the first experience, this time, Su Xiaobai was familiar with everything. However, he could clearly feel a strange atmosphere this time.
“Why does it seem like... everyone is in a hurry?”
Su Xiaobai noticed that the entire black market felt unusually frantic, as though everyone was clearing out, preparing to flee.
He casually bought a few materials, thinking the vendor would try to haggle, but to his surprise, the vendor agreed immediately, selling everything to him without hesitation.
The once lively places were now much quieter. There were few new recruitment notices for hunting teams, but there were more for purchasing elixirs and weapons.
Taking advantage of the situation, Su Xiaobai bought a bunch of alchemy materials. After filling his space ring, he was content and walked into the Beast Treasure Pavilion.
“Mr. Su, we’ve been waiting for you!”
When Su Xiaobai arrived at the pavilion master’s office, the same three people were there—the pavilion master, the woman, and the senior martial general behind her.
The woman stood up, her eyes filled with hope and anticipation. The senior martial general remained seated, eyes closed in a meditative manner, his expression inscrutable.
“This is your pill,” Su Xiaobai took a spatial ring from his pocket and handed it to the woman.
“Did you really make them?”
The woman took out four volumes of Lesser Transcendent cultivation techniques from a spatial ring.
“These are the remaining four Lesser Transcendent technique copies, which include two body-refining techniques, one weapon technique, and one attribute technique as per your request!”
Upon hearing this, Su Xiaobai’s eyes, hidden beneath his mask, instantly lit up with intense excitement!
Finally, it’s here!
A complete set of Lesser Transcendent cultivation techniques!
Once I successfully cultivated this entire set of Lesser Transcendent techniques, not only would martial generals be within my reach, even martial commanders would be nothing to me!
“However, Mr. Su, I hope you won’t make these Lesser Transcendent techniques public or allow others to use them. Trust me, once you do that, it will bring you unnecessary trouble!”
After handing over the techniques, the woman reminded him carefully.
“All right.”
Su Xiaobai’s response was short and simple.
In truth, he didn’t need her reminder.
He knew that there were very few Lesser Transcendent techniques available in the entire Base No. 18. If word got out, it would only attract trouble.
And of course, such treasures were best enjoyed alone—who would share them? That would be foolish!
With the transaction complete, the woman and the old man took their leave.
But before they left, the old man pulled out a golden-embossed card and handed it to Su Xiaobai.
“Mr. Su, this is my business card. If you ever have the chance to visit Base No. 15, you are welcome to visit my Dongfang family.”
Base No. 15.
Su Xiaobai was aware of the existence of other human bases outside of the Base No. 18, but he had no idea what they were like or how they differed from the Base No. 18... He didn’t even fully understand how vast the world he was in was!
Because it seemed like everywhere he went, people deliberately avoided revealing the truth about this world...
“All right, I will.”
Su Xiaobai accepted the card, and the old man departed.
“Pavilion master, is something big about to happen? The atmosphere in the black market seems a bit off lately.”
Su Xiaobai originally planned to sell the beast materials he had accumulated over the week and then leave, but suddenly a thought crossed his mind, and he voiced his concern.
“Mr. Su, don’t you know?”
“The annual beast tide is about to arrive!”
