Blind Spot
Chapter 292 - 272 Xun Gong Four

Chapter 292: 272 Xun Gong Four

Opening the door, he got into the car, Li Chengyi paused momentarily, not immediately stating a destination.

"Boss?" Zhou Xingtong looked back at him.

The cultivation method was now found, and the current priority was to find a Saint Baby with great talent and a good background to start cultivating for himself.

Li Chengyi was busy; after choosing the Saint Baby, he still had to continue searching for the Hall of Oblivion.

The threat of the Blind Spot was closing in step by step, a slight delay, and there could be trouble.

"Suiyang is still too small..." he suddenly sighed.

"Yes, after all, it’s just a small city," Zhou Xingtong responded.

"Let’s go back." Li Chengyi didn’t plan to search for someone in Suiyang. The place was too small here, and even if one or two suitable ones were found, their backgrounds wouldn’t be sufficient, and they wouldn’t have enough access to resources.

What kind of person would be willing to cultivate a method with origins unknown?

This was a major premise in selecting the Saint Baby.

The answer was someone at their wit’s end who needed strength and also someone credible to vouch for the method.

In Li Chengyi’s mind, potential candidates and methods flashed continuously.

Suddenly, one candidate sprang to mind.

He took out his phone, found the contact, and made a call.

After speaking a few words on the phone, he hung up.

"Boss, where to?" Zhou Xingtong asked again.

"Book me a flight to Chaoyu."

"Chaoyu?" Zhou Xingtong was bewildered. That was the second-largest super-metropolis in Yi Country and a self-circulating city.

Why suddenly, out of the blue, go to Chaoyu?

But she quickly grasped the situation and complied.

"Alright. However, that requires additional application documentation for Chaoyu..."

"I’m a member of the regional federation, no need for that, just book it," Li Chengyi answered.

For his first Saint Baby, he planned to find his target in Chaoyu City.

As for Suiyang, the provincial capital, let alone the whole Fengnan Province, they were all too small.

The potential targets were far too few.

Furthermore, with Da Xiong and the boss in control of the company, along with Dragon Gate Crane and Rainbow Candy now at Grade Three, handling Quanxin Group shouldn’t be much of an issue.

After all, Grade Three strength, in most small places, was enough to run rampant.

And if all else failed, there would still be Liu Tongbei to rely on. The urgent matter was to quickly find a Saint Baby and start cultivating the mentioned method.

Luo An City.

Luo An University of Science and Technology faculty dormitory building.

Tang Yuwei put down the "Detailed Explanation of the Principles of Feiyi," sighing.

Because she was unable to receive a Strengthening Injection, her body couldn’t be enhanced, and thus she couldn’t become a true Feiyi Master.

Her innate allergy to medicine completely cut off all her hopes on the path of becoming a Feiyi Master.

Even though she was talented, without enough physical strength or consciousness power, everything was in vain.

She took a sip of water from her cup, noticing a small note attached to the outside of it.

’Drink more water, there’s a bowl of silver ear and red date soup on the table for you’

It was from her dad.

Tang Yuwei felt a slight emotional stir inside.

This was the reason she strived so hard to become a Feiyi Master, to change her circumstances.

Her father had spent too much money and energy trying to cure her allergic condition.

But until now...

She couldn’t even become an ordinary Feiyi Master.

The result of not being able to enhance her body was that her future could only be in logistics and theoretical research.

Her job, her father, had already arranged for her.

Stay at the university, take an administrative position... Fifteen thousand a month, not too high, not too low, but stable enough.

A secure job she could do for decades.

Thinking of those peers who looked at her with a bit of condescension and pity, Tang Yuwei felt as though her heart was being pricked by needles, the feeling oppressive and uncomfortable.

But she couldn’t help it; from graduation onwards, she and her classmates would take completely different paths.

Unable to become a Feiyi Master, her father had already started to prepare matchmaking meetings for her...

Perhaps, he had already placed his hopes on her next generation...

But... she didn’t want that...

She didn’t want...

Ding dong ding dong.

The sound of the phone ringing.

Tang Yuwei unclenched her tightly held fist, picking up the phone to see.

Li Chengyi.

She paused for a moment, then pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Junior Brother, what’s up so late?"

"Senior Sister, have you tried the medicine I gave you last time? Did it work?" Li Chengyi’s voice came through the receiver.

"Not yet... I’ve been a bit busy recently, and it slipped my mind..." Tang Yuwei was a bit embarrassed.

"No worries, start using it quickly, just take it orally, the effect is really good. You should try it as soon as possible, and if it works, I have a health cultivation method that goes along with it, and it’ll be good for your health," Li Chengyi said.

"...Alright, I’ll try it in a bit," Tang Yuwei replied.

After hanging up, she opened the drawer and took out the small bottle that Li Chengyi had given her before.

In the dark brown glass bottle, there was a purple-red orb gently rocking back and forth inside.

Pop!

She removed the cap and poured out the Floral Bead into her palm, letting it roll around.

This thing looked like a marble; she wondered if it was really edible.

However, hearing Li Chengyi speak so convincingly, she must have thought he wouldn’t deceive her over such a simple matter.

After all, this kind of thing was too easy to disprove.

’Then... let’s give it a try!’

No matter what, she had no other options now.

With that thought, Tang Yuwei just started, closed her eyes, and stuffed the Floral Bead into her mouth in one go.

She trusted her junior brother wouldn’t deceive her, and perhaps it might even be useful?

Psst.

The moment the Floral Bead entered her mouth and her mind settled, it suddenly vanished without a trace.

"!???"

Chaoyu City.

The enormous silver Sky River flowed slowly through the dawn sky.

The entire city was a gigantic circle, covering an area equivalent to fifteen Suiyangs.

Across different city zones, specks of silver transport shuttles rose up, joining the vast Sky River in the sky, and after accelerating through the spaceport, they sped toward the distance.

Some even shot toward outer space.

All sorts of flying vehicles, ships, drones, and even armed merchant vessels came and went incessantly in the river of traffic.

It was a river, but also a massive acceleration conduit.

Below.

Chaoyu Eastern District, Catherine Bar.

All sorts of luxury cars and lavish flying vehicles were parked outside the bar.

This double-layered white bar, shaped like a large disc, was one of the leading entertainment venues in the entire Eastern District.

The main body of the bar wasn’t a building, but a repurposed circular-shaped abandoned spaceship.

At the entrance to the bar, groups of young people who had alighted from flying vehicles or luxury cars, clad in various shiny metallic jackets, entered the hall laughing and talking.

To the right of the entrance hall, a taxi stopped, and a tall man in a black coat, wearing a black round hat, alighted from the white car door.

The man wore AR glasses and was dressed in black overcoat, lined with a black shirt and black trousers, looking decent overall.

Yet here, he seemed somewhat out of place.

"So this is Chaoyu..." He looked up, surrounded by sharp high-rise buildings everywhere.

All the building facades were silver, blue, or black, and there wasn’t a fourth color toned in the entire city.

Some buildings flickered with dense electronic lights blue as eyes on their surface.

The man lowered his gaze, observing the passersby around him.

The clothes of the pedestrians here differed from elsewhere.

Their apparel often showcased animated images or videos that played automatically.

On one person’s T-shirt, a green forest was depicted on the back with birds flying around, much like a moving big screen.

Another person had a mechanical silver bird perched on the edge of their hat, hopping from side to side before suddenly leaping into the air, bursting apart, and scattering into silver dots of light.

Clearly, that was just a projected image.

Someone else twisted open a bottle resembling a cola, and the sexy girl on its packaging suddenly came to life, shrieking in a high-pitched voice: You’ve won a prize, have another bottle, another bottle!

"Really, it’s completely different from the outside..." The man retracted his gaze and sighed.

He was none other than Li Chengyi, who had just arrived in Chaoyu from Suiyang.

Given the Self-Circulating City’s strict isolation from the outside world, entry and exit examinations were rigorous, and communication of information between cities was forbidden due to the Silent Fortress situation.

Therefore, many had little impression of the Self-Circulating City.

But now...

Li Chengyi saw with his own eyes this completely different city, a sci-fi city with technology at least decades ahead of the outside world.

"It’s been worth the journey..." He exhaled and turned toward the bar next to him, touted as the most luxurious and high-class venue in the Eastern District.

From the moment he disembarked the airplane to taking a taxi, the first thing Li Chengyi told the driver was to take him to the nearest high-end entertainment venue.

So here he was.

Catherine Bar...

As for why he came, naturally, places like this made it easier to find upper-middle-class losers, suitable for selecting candidates for the first Holy Infant.

Before entering, Li Chengyi glanced down at his somewhat conspicuous attire.

Turning a corner, he headed straight for a clothing store to his right.

On either side of the street, there were clothing stores, restaurants, and accessory shops everywhere.

Soon, a buff man in a simple black T-shirt and jeans, with long hair, emerged from the clothing store.

There was a white skull painted on the man’s T-shirt.

The skull had a cigarette in its mouth, the tip glowing intermittently, emitting whisps of white smoke as it floated upwards.

The outfit was a simple youth ensemble, but just that T-shirt cost Li Chengyi three thousand.

The dynamic pattern on it could only move within Chaoyu City.

But this was the preparation needed before entering the bar.

Li Chengyi put on his AR again and stepped into the Catherine Bar.

The moment he crossed the threshold, the originally round archway entrance flashed instantly, changing color rapidly.

Li Chengyi looked inside.

In a massive oval hall, numerous colored, dreamlike soap bubbles floated in the air.

The walls and ceiling periodically changed scenery, from the sky to caves, then to the sea, the universe, and so on.

On a square-shaped stage below, a band and singer hummed softly.

Around the stage were large soap bubble-shaped private booths.

Li Chengyi advanced a few steps inside, assessing the surrounding environment, his gaze sweeping over the incoming and outgoing guests, seeking the most suitable candidate for the Holy Infant.

The Silent Fortress of the Self-Circulating City was far more formidable than external cities.

Rainbow Candy couldn’t hack its way in to investigate and collect intelligence; he had to rely on himself to search slowly.

The most suitable Holy Infant would ideally come from the upper strata...

For instance... the neglected children of nobles on the fringe of the upper class... much like Zhu Rui.
