After sending off two groups of people, Lin Xuan finally walked up to Chen Li and said with irritation, "You little rascal, your courage is growing bolder. You even dared to extort the elders of the Two Major Sects!"
Chen Li, however, remained unfazed. With a grin, he replied, "Master, this isn't extortion; I'm just safeguarding the interests of our Imperial Academy. Besides, their two sects are wealthy enough; they won't miss this little amount. Consider it a lesson learned."
Lin Xuan couldn't help but laugh at Chen Li's twisted logic. He shook his head helplessly, thinking that this kid was truly sharp-tongued; he wondered who he had learned it from.
"Alright, enough of that," Lin Xuan waved his hand. "The Beast Tide situation hasn't been resolved yet. We should hurry back to restore our Vital Energy and stay in good shape to avoid being caught off guard in case of danger."
Chen Li nodded, and everyone returned to their respective tents.
Watching the others disperse, Chen Li led Shen Qingyue back to their tent. He needed to think carefully about how to inform his master and the others about the location of the Supreme Spirit Crystal Mine without revealing too much about himself. After all, it was a dangerous place with powerful beasts lurking around. Even with the help of a hedgehog, a newly born Thunderous Divine Beast wouldn't be able to intimidate those creatures without real strength.
The best approach would be to bring a large team along with his master. This way, even if they couldn't obtain all of the Supreme Spirit Crystal Mine, they could at least secure a small portion.
Half a month had passed—long enough yet short at the same time. The group, initially exhausted from days of travel and battling beasts, gradually regained their vitality under the nourishing Spiritual Energy.
Chen Li stretched lazily, feeling the power surging within him, and a satisfied smile spread across his face. During this half-month period, he hadn't been idle; he had focused on training diligently. Not only had his physique become more robust and taller, but his strength had also skyrocketed as he broke through to the sixth level of the Innate Realm.
In fact, under the premise of improving his cultivation, he had even exchanged for two Flesh Grapes from the system. According to the system's description, these Flesh Grapes could significantly enhance his Flesh power, allowing him to grow taller and stronger than his peers.
"Brother, you're slacking off again!" Shen Qingyue exclaimed as she approached him in her red attire that resembled a dancing flame. She pouted discontentedly, "Look at everyone else; they're all working hard on their training!"
Chen Li turned to look around and saw that students from the Imperial Academy as well as disciples from Heaven's Gate and Golden Sun Sect were indeed focused on their training. Even their busy master Lin Xuan was sitting upright with closed eyes in meditation.
"Training requires persistence; it can't be rushed," Chen Li said dismissively as he casually pulled out a bunch of crystal-clear grapes from his pocket and offered them to Shen Qingyue. "Here, try these! I specially got these good ones—packed with Spiritual Energy and they have beautifying effects too!"
Shen Qingyue rolled her eyes at Chen Li but still reached out to take the grapes and popped one into her mouth. Instantly, a wave of sweet juice spread across her palate along with rich Spiritual Energy that made her squint her eyes in delight.
"How is it? Tasty?" Chen Li asked with a grin.
"Still eating," Shen Qingyue said, her hands never stopping as she quickly devoured a bunch of grapes.
Chen Li watched her proud demeanor and couldn't help but chuckle, shaking his head. This girl, clearly a foodie, still insisted on putting on an aloof front.
"Hey, you two siblings, can you stop enjoying yourselves for a moment? The Beast Tide situation hasn't been resolved yet!" Lin Xuan approached at some point, looking at Chen Li and Shen Qingyue with a helpless expression.
"Oh come on, Master, don't worry! We still have you around, right? We're just waiting for your orders!" Chen Li replied with a grin, his demeanor overly flattering.
Lin Xuan was amused by Chen Li's antics and shot him an annoyed glare. "You brat, stop being so slick! Hurry up and pack your things; we’re getting ready to set off!"
"Set off? Where to?" Chen Li asked in confusion.
"Where else? We’re continuing deeper into the mountains to find the source of the Beast Tide!" Lin Xuan said impatiently. "You really thought hiding here would keep you safe?"
Chen Li knew it wasn't that simple; he was just pretending to be clueless to see how he could trick everyone into heading to the Supreme Spirit Crystal Mine.
Unbeknownst to Lin Xuan, who doted on his students, Chen Li was plotting something in his mind.
The relationships among the Three Major Sects had become much more harmonious over the past half month. At least many disciples had gathered again under their mentors Lin Xuan, Cloud Sword Elder, and Blazing Sun Elder, marching together toward the depths of the mountains.
However, when they attempted to fly with their swords, they found themselves unable to take off.
Suddenly, many people began to exclaim in surprise. "What’s going on? Why can’t my spirit sword fly?"
"Me too! What kind of place is this?"
"Could it be some kind of restriction?"
The crowd murmured among themselves, their faces showing confusion and uncertainty.
"Fools!" Just then, a childish voice suddenly rang in Chen Li's ear. "There’s a Beast King here! With you little weaklings thinking you can fly your swords? You’re asking for trouble!"
Chen Li turned to see that the speaker was the hedgehog perched on his shoulder.
"Shut up!" Chen Li shot a glare at the hedgehog.
"How dare you disrespect this Divine Beast?" The hedgehog flared up immediately, its tiny paws on its hips as it huffed angrily.
"Little creature, keep acting tough, and I'll send you to feed the Beast King!" Chen Li said, gripping the hedgehog's neck with one hand, threateningly.
The hedgehog immediately curled up like a deflated balloon, its voice turning ingratiating. "Hehe, I was just joking with you!"
Only then did Chen Li release his grip, letting out a cold snort as he said in a deep voice, "Little thing, I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself. How about that?"
The hedgehog trembled slightly, feeling as if it had been set up by its own kind.
"What opportunity?"
"Get some Beast Tide and drive people to the Supreme Spirit Crystal Mine."
Just then, Shen Qingyue happened to overhear this line, her face stiffening.
This guy really has a lot of schemes! Everyone should be healing together, and yet here we are!
