Invincible Over the World
Chapter 193 - 193 193 The Whereabouts of the Soul-breaking Pearl

193: Chapter 193: The Whereabouts of the Soul-breaking Pearl 193: Chapter 193: The Whereabouts of the Soul-breaking Pearl All booked!

The two had somewhat ugly looks on their faces.

Just as one of them was about to stand up and speak, the slightly fatter one pressed him down with a hand and shook his head, then turned to Xie Puti and smiled, “Since all the remaining Aftertaste Wine for today has been booked by Brother Bodhi, we brothers will come back another day to drink!” After saying this, he pulled the thinner one to stand up, and under the watchful eyes of Huang Xiaolong and the others, they left the Aftertaste Restaurant.

Xie Puti watched the two leave and said to Huang Xiaolong, “These two have some connection to you.”

“Connected to me?” Huang Xiaolong looked puzzled.

Xie Puti nodded, “They are from the Guo Family.”

The Guo Family!

Huang Xiaolong immediately understood that the Guo Family Xie Puti mentioned was referring to Guo Tai’s family, with whom his sister was betrothed.

The Guo Family’s Ten Thousand Treasures Commerce was one of the three major chambers of commerce in the empire.

So, it seemed that the two men were so wealthy and bold, upon entering, they wanted all of today’s remaining Aftertaste Wine.

“The slightly fatter one is named Guo Zhi, and the other is Guo Fei, two brothers.

Their father is named Guo Shiwen.

Guo Shiwen is the elder brother of Guo Shiyuan and is also the next designated successor of the Guo Family,” continued Xie Puti.

Huang Xiaolong nodded, so it turned out that Guo Zhi and Guo Fei were Guo Tai’s cousins.

If his sister Huang Min married into the Guo Family, Guo Shiwen would be his sister’s paternal uncle.

At this time, the restaurant’s waiter brought over all of today’s remaining Aftertaste Wine.

Xie Puti laughed, “Come on, try this Aftertaste Wine.

I guarantee that once you drink it today, you’ll be thinking about it every day!” Having said that, he personally opened a bottle for Huang Xiaolong, and the fragrance of wine permeated the air.

Huang Xiaolong took it, sniffed it, and took a sip only to find it sweet and mellow in his mouth.

The wine passed down his throat with a lingering flavor that made one savor it for a long time.

Just as Xie Puti said, this Aftertaste Wine was indeed much better than the Beauty Wine.

A while later, the waiter served Huang Xiaolong and the others a table full of delicious dishes.

At the Aftertaste Restaurant, anyone who bought more than three bottles at once would get a table full of dishes for free.

So, Huang Xiaolong and his companions kept clinking glasses, one after another, and before they knew it, they had finished all one hundred and twenty-three bottles of Aftertaste Wine.

Huang Xiaolong and Xie Puti didn’t feel anything in particular, but Chen Cheng felt a pain in his heart.

One hundred and twenty-three bottles of Aftertaste Wine—that’s twelve million three hundred thousand!

Although Chen Cheng’s family, the Chen Family, was a major family in Luotong Kingdom, even if they were to go bankrupt, they could not come up with the twelve million three hundred thousand.

After finishing the one hundred and twenty-three bottles of Aftertaste Wine, Huang Xiaolong still felt unsatisfied.

After a while, the three of them left the restaurant and returned to their dormitories.

On the way, Chen Cheng left them.

Upon returning to Courtyard No.

1 in the Ninety-eighth Area, Huang Xiaolong finally took a serious look at his own dormitory.

The room was not big, only about twenty square meters.

Inside the room, there was a Cold Jade Bed, along with some wardrobes and other things.

The Cold Jade Bed, when cultivated upon, although it could enhance the speed of absorbing nature’s spiritual energy, was already useless to Huang Xiaolong.

Moreover, the Cold Jade Bed inside the Asura Ring was countless times better than the one in the room.

After checking out his dormitory, Huang Xiaolong parted ways with Xie Puti and then took another tour around Broken Blade Academy.

Naturally, he hadn’t forgotten the most important reason for coming to Broken Blade Academy.

The Soul-breaking Pearl that ranked fourth on the Treasure List!

He now possessed the Exquisite Treasure Tower that ranked ninth, the God Capturing Ring that ranked sixth, and if he could subdue the Soul-breaking Pearl, his cultivation speed would increase again, and he needed to advance to the Holy Domain as quickly as possible.

According to what Zhao Shu said this time, his senior brother Chen Tianqi might have already broken through to the Holy Domain Sixth Stage.

Even if he wasn’t at the Holy Domain Sixth Stage, he would be at the Holy Domain Fifth-stage Late Stage Peak.

Huang Xiaolong wandered around Broken Blade Academy for two hours without any anomaly occurring inside his body where the Exquisite Treasure Tower and God Capturing Ring resided.

By that time, night had fallen.

Huang Xiaolong didn’t return to his academy dormitory; instead, he left the academy grounds and headed back to South Mountain Mansion.

Back at South Mountain Mansion, Huang Xiaolong had a servant summon Zhao Shu and Fei Hou.

Once they arrived, Huang Xiaolong inquired about the relocation of the Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce headquarters.

Fei Hou reported that they had set their sights on a certain manor not far from South Mountain Mansion, which could serve as the new headquarters for the Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce after relocation, though they were currently in the process of negotiating with the seller.

Huang Xiaolong nodded.

Afterward, Huang Xiaolong asked Fei Hou to keep an eye on Yao Fei’s movements and relayed the day’s events at Yingfeng Hall to the two, cautioning them to be wary of Yao Fei.

Upon hearing the details, Zhao Shu snorted coldly, “Just a wet-behind-the-ears brat, it’s laughable.

He dares to demand you, Sect Leader, to kneel and admit wrongdoing, and to submit to him?”

“Sect Leader, shall we teach that Yao Fei a harsh lesson?” Fei Hou also spoke up.

Teach him a harsh lesson?

Huang Xiaolong pondered, “Is Yao Fei still sending people to investigate the black-robed elder?”

“Yes, Sect Leader,” Fei Hou responded respectfully.

“From now on, anyone Yao Fei sends to investigate the black-robed elder, capture and execute them all!” Huang Xiaolong said, turning to Zhao Shu.

Those Yao Fei sent to investigate were all of Innate High Stage, and the loss of a few of such rank would certainly make even Yao Fei suffer greatly.

Of course, Huang Xiaolong didn’t mind concocting a few more Seventh Grade Spirit Pills.

Even if he did not consume them himself, he could still save them for his parents, Huang Peng and Su Yan, to ingest and refine.

With the limitations of their Martial Souls, there was little hope for breaking through to the Innate level, but consuming a few more Seventh Grade Spirit Pills to temper their bodies could extend their lifespans.

“Yes, Sect Leader!” Zhao Shu stood up and responded.

A while later, the two left.

Huang Xiaolong activated the God Capturing Ring and entered the Ancient Battlefield to cultivate.

Once inside the Ancient Battlefield, Huang Xiaolong continued attempting to simultaneously circulate the Asura Technique and Yijinjing.

After a while, he began practicing the Imprisoning God Palm.

The Imprisoning God Palm was a Combat Skill inherited from the God Capturing Ring, profound and intricate, touching upon the Principles of time and space.

Each session of cultivation brought Huang Xiaolong immense benefits.

A night passed.

The next day, Huang Xiaolong emerged from the Ancient Battlefield, left the South Mountain Mansion, and made his way to Broken Blade Academy.

Upon arrival, he did not return to his dormitory but continued to explore every corner of Broken Blade Academy.

Broken Blade Academy was vast, divided into the Inner and Outer Courts.

Even just the Outer Court would take Huang Xiaolong ten to eight days to cover every corner.

Unlike Star Sky Academy, Broken Blade Academy did not have a set curriculum, nor did it categorize students by classes or grades.

In Broken Blade Academy’s Vast Hall, specific teachers would impart cultivation experiences daily, and students could freely attend these sessions.

Ten days flew by.

Huang Xiaolong had visited every corner of the Outer Court, yet there were no abnormalities within his body’s God Capturing Ring or Exquisite Treasure Tower, meaning the Soul-breaking Pearl was unlikely to be in the Outer Court.

“Not in the Outer Court, could it only be in the Inner Court?” Huang Xiaolong frowned.

All students could enter and move freely in the Outer Court, but the Inner Court was different; only students of the Inner Court had access.
