*Swoosh*
Like a whale taking in water, the green jade gourd absorbed all the spiritual Qi around it at lightning speed. The amount of spiritual Qi in the cave was a few times more than the spiritual Qi from the forbidden ground of Golden Dragon Temple. However, the gourd was not even fully filled.
“What a good item! Everyone’s Dantian is limited. It is simply not possible to take in a huge amount of spiritual Qi. With this green jade gourd, I will be able to carry a truckload of spiritual Qi with me! In other words, I can consume spiritual Qi for my training whenever I want! The best part is when I come across a huge supply of spiritual Qi again, I can absorb all those spiritual Qi with this green jade gourd! Absorb all! Leaving nothing behind! Muahahahaha!”
Soon, every single ounce of spiritual Qi in this cave was absorbed by the gourd. However, Chen Xiaobei did not rush to leave the place. Instead, he picked up the gourd and took in some spiritual Qi like he was drinking a bottle of alcohol. He then sat on the ground with his legs crossed and dived right into his training.
The mouthful of spiritual Qi that he just took was extremely concentrated. His Dantian was filled right away. This time, he was going to work on his Emperor Health Ultimate Enhancement Skill. Considering that he might need to consume a Bone Burning Pill once in a while, it was best to increase his health since the Bone Burning Pill would cause a great gap between his health and combat power!
*Pheww*
Around ten hours later, Chen Xiaobei let out a white breath. He then put a stop to his training. After looking into his health, it had reached 16,500. That was a 500 health increment! Considered that the training hours was not long, hence, the improvement was not that obvious as well. When it came to training, it was all about taking one step at a time. It was actually kind of horrifying for someone to be able to increase 500 health every day!
The road was still long. Now, he had more important things to do.
“The time that I spent on training helping the kids to get rid their curses should be around twenty-four hours. It’s time for me to leave this cave!”
Upon keeping the gourd in his treasure chest, he took out the Divine River Spiritual Water at the same time. He then returned to the Palace of the Living Dead to get Xiangxi Phantom Lord and went back to the Carcass Horde Formation.
“Xiaobei!!!”
Luo Puti had not slept since Chen Xiaobei left her. Seeing that Chen Xiaobei returned unharmed, she felt so happy and excited. She would have run to him and gave him a hug if it was not for the voodoo poison in her body.
“Mr. Chen! Mr. Chen is back… Mr. Chen is back…”
At the same time, the rest of the Six Doors members were feeling extremely excited as well. Every single one of them was treating Chen Xiaobei like their savior.
“Xiaobei… Is the person you’re carrying dead or alive…?”
Immediately, Luo Puti shifted her attention to the grayish-black-skinned kid in his hand.
“This is Xiangxi Phantom Lord. He is still alive. You do not need to worry about him. I have weakened his body. Hence, he is no threat anymore.”
Chen Xiaobei tossed him aside and took out the bottle that stored the Divine River Spiritual Water to remove the voodoo poison from Luo Puti’s body. The sole purpose of this spiritual water was cleansing. It managed to wash away the voodoo poison from her body easily.
“What is that? An antidote?”
Immediately, Luo Puti felt that her body had been set free. She could move around as usual once again.
“Yes. This is the antidote.”
Nodding his head, Chen Xiaobei grabbed Luo Puti’s hand to check her pulse.
“Alright. Your body is completely recovered!” Chen Xiaobei said in relief.
“Then, why are you still holding my hands? Go and check on the others!”
Luo Puti’s face was slightly red.
“Roger that, Ma’am!”
Putting a smile on his face, Chen Xiaobei went and check on the others. Meanwhile, Luo Puti walked to Xiangxi Phantom Lord to take a closer look at this ruthless murderer. Though she did not know how Xiangxi Phantom Lord ended up with the look of being tortured for an extensive amount of time, she thought people like him should receive hundreds of thousands of times of punishments that were worse than this.
“Thank you, Mr. Chen… Thank you so much…”
The officers of Six Doors were taking turns to show their gratitude to Chen Xiaobei after the voodoo poison in their body was gone for good. Even Wang Poqiong and Lin Nutao were genuinely grateful of what Chen Xiaobei did to save their lives.
In total, Chen Xiaobei had saved their lives three times! Twenty-four hours had passed, Wang Poqiong and Lin Nutao were finally calm. They did not see Chen Xiaobei as their enemy anymore and they did not dare to dream of taking things that did not belong to them.
“Alright. Try to move around. Let me know if there is any discomfort.”
At this moment, Chen Xiaobei had helped Ouyang Jingxin clear the voodoo poison from his body.
“Alright. I will try, Mr. Chen!”
The smile on his face was gentle – making him looked like a gentleman.
“Crap! Mr. Chen! Be careful!”
Suddenly, Wang Poqiong and Lin Nutao shouted at the same time. They had managed to let go of their grudge earlier but that did not mean Ouyang Jingxin did the same.
“Too late!”
His gentle smile turned menacing. With a claw shape formed on his right hand, he grabbed onto Chen Xiaobei’s throat swiftly. Needless to ask, he had been waiting for this golden opportunity for a long time. This particular scene was playing in his mind over and over again.
“Ouyang Jingxin! What the hell are you trying to do?”
Luo Puti shouted angrily. She had her eyes locked on to him like an eagle on its prey.
“Ouyang Jingxin! Why are you grabbing Mr. Chen’s throat? He is the one that saved us three times! Are you out of your mind?!”
All the Six Doors officers were furious as well. Even Wang Poqiong and Lin Nutao did not agree with him trying to threaten Chen Xiaobei’s life. The two of them were trying to talk him out of it.
“Hehe… Both of you are so adorable! I have captured Chen Xiaobei as my hostage! In other words, I have everything under my control! Both are you are on the wrong side! What idiots!”
“Ouyang Jingxin! I hereby order you to let Mr. Chen go! If not, I will personally kill you!”
Immediately, Luo Puti invoked the True Kang in her body. Like an ice phoenix, a dominant and powerful aura was emanating from her body.
“That’s right! We will not let you off the hook if you hurt Mr. Chen!”
Everyone from Six Doors had made up their minds to support Chen Xiaobei until the end.
“Hehe… Alright. Come and kill me then! I will use this kid over here as my human shield if you guys attack me! In order words, all of you here will become your savior’s murderers! Come! Just come! Come and kill me! Don’t be such wusses! Hahaha…”
“You…”
Taken aback, the crowd had no idea how to save Chen Xiaobei. Even Luo Puti was forced to suppress her True Kang. She was afraid that she might anger Ouyang Jingxin.
“What now? Afraid of me? I’m going to give you guys one last chance! Kneel down right now if you want to stay loyal to me! Then, I will ask Luo Puti to kill those people that are not willing to kneel down in front of me!”
Left in bewilderment, none of them expected that Ouyang Jingxin was prepared to kill everyone here! He was planning to threaten Luo Puti to kill those that refused to stand on his side. However, no one chose to kneel before him willingly. Actions always spoke louder than words so none of them would be on his side even if that meant death to them.
“Shixiong Ouyang! Wake up! Don’t be so stubborn! Let Mr. Chen go! Consider that we come from the same place, Shijie Luo will definitely spare your life!”
Wang Poqiong and Lin Nutao had not given up talking him out of it.
Without waiting for Ouyang Jingxin to reply them, Chen Xiaobei said, “You guys don’t have to try to talk him out of it anymore. He’s already dead.”
