Yue Chenxi's face froze. He was stumped by Xiao Chen's words. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense. However, he still felt that something was wrong.
This person was too despicable. In the past, when he needed help, there would be countless people rushing to help him without him even asking. He even looked down on them.
However, this Xiao Chen took the initiative to ask for help. He owed him a favor. How could he say that he was taking advantage of me?
Thinking of this word, Yue Chenxi finally understood what was wrong. He quickly said, "You can say that I owe you a favor. How can you say that I am taking advantage of you?"
Looking at Yue Chenxi's angry expression, Bai said timidly, "Sister Yue, that was what Bai said, not Brother Xiao Chen. Don't blame Brother Xiao Chen."
When Yue Chenxi heard this, she was stumped again. It seemed like Xiao Bai was the one who said it, but she got angry at Xiao Chen.
How depressing! When I meet with this fellow, why does it seem like I am being unreasonable? Yue Chenxi thought angrily in her heart.
Xiao Chen smiled gently and pulled Bai behind him. He smiled faintly and said, "Don't blame yourself. Actually, that is what I meant. You just said it for me first."
Then, when Yue Chenxi was about to lose his temper, Xiao Chen continued, "Don't be angry. Just as you said, take it as a favor. Tell me the details. I want to see if your favor is worth the risk. "
Yue Chenxi said angrily, "You … why do I feel like I am talking business with you? You are so unscrupulous."
When Xiao Chen heard the word "business," something stirred in his heart, stirring him up.
If all the things in the world could be like business, fair trading and good parting.
Xiao Chen also felt that it was not bad. Unfortunately, he had seen too much. The nature of the world was the survival of the fittest. Without strength, there would be no fairness.
"Forget it. You can say whatever you want. Just tell me what you want me to help you with," Xiao Chen said indifferently.
Yue Chenxi thought for a while and organized his words in his mind. Then, he told Xiao Chen the whole story.
It turned out that after she finished her training in the Boundless Sea, she had planned to return to the Jin Nation. However, she had unexpectedly met Jin Wuji on Green Wind Island.
Jin Wuji had met Jin Wuji once in the previous Five Nation Youth Competition and exchanged a few words with him. Now that they met again, it was hard not to greet him.
Jin Wuji first invited Yue Chenxi to a gathering at the restaurant, but Yue Chenxi was in a hurry to return. Furthermore, in her eyes, the quality of this gathering was not very high.
The people who came were not the top geniuses of the various nations. Furthermore, she did not have much of a relationship with Jin Wuji, so there was no need for her to agree to their request.
Furthermore, she could guess that Jin Wuji wanted to use her identity to expand his influence. All the more she would not agree.
However, Jin Wuji told her that there was news of the Daybreak Grass on Qianren Island. As long as she was willing to attend the gathering, he would tell her the exact location of the Daybreak Grass.
The Martial Technique that Yue Chenxi practiced, the Morning Sun Fist, had to be supplemented with the corresponding Cultivation Technique, the Morning Sun Incantation. However, it was extremely difficult to improve the Morning Sun Incantation.
If one had the support of the Daybreak Flower, they could greatly increase the speed of their cultivation. Furthermore, the effects of the Daybreak Flower were not temporary; they were permanent.
Xiao Chen looked around and asked suspiciously, "The Daybreak Flower should have a Demonic Beast or Spirit Beast guarding it. You are here to ask for my help. However, Jin Wuji should be very willing to help you. Why do I not see him?"
Yue Chenxi said, "He was injured by the Black-Blooded Demonic Corpses and left in a hurry. He could not even take care of himself."
Xiao Chen thought about it carefully and discovered that it was not a particularly difficult problem. He raised his head and said, "It is not a big problem, I will help you. However, I will forget about the favor. Just treat it as me returning the favor of keeping the secret for me in the herb garden."
Yue Chenxi smiled gently. He finally heard this fellow say something decent; he was no longer so infuriating. "In that case, let's go. Follow me."
Under Yue Chenxi's lead, the three of them quickly headed to the north of Qianren Island.
Qianren Island was very large; it was not much smaller than Green Wind Island. However, it was much more desolate.
Aside from the majestic, dilapidated palace, there were no other buildings on the island. There were rocks everywhere, and no grass grew.
Yue Chenxi, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped. He gestured for the two to hide behind a huge rock.
He poked his head out and pointed to an empty space a thousand meters ahead. There was nothing there except for a ten-meter-tall black wolf crouching there.
"The Daybreak Flower is beside that wolf. Be careful. That wolf's senses are very strong," Yue Chenxi said softly.
Xiao Chen took a closer look. There was nothing there; there was nothing there at all.
He thought that Yue Chenxi had said the wrong place. He used his Spiritual Sense to scan the wolf's surroundings. However, he still did not discover anything.
Xiao Chen could not help but look suspiciously at Yue Chenxi. "The Daybreak Flower? Why don't I see it?"
Yue Chenxi suddenly said, "I forgot to tell you. The Daybreak Flower can only be seen when the sun rises. Furthermore, it only lasts for a short period of time, no more than five minutes."
When Xiao Chen heard this, he looked at the sky above him. It was only noon. There were still more than twenty hours until the next day's dawn.
"Where did that wolf come from? It seems to only have the strength of a Rank 7 Demonic Beast. With your strength, you should not need any help," Xiao Chen said in a deep voice.
The wolf crouched on the ground. It was more than ten meters tall and extremely burly. Its eyes were pitch-black, and it did not seem to have anything special about it.
However, Xiao Chen keenly felt that something was wrong. This wolf might not be as ordinary as it looked. Otherwise, Yue Chenxi would not have called him for help for no reason.
Yue Chenxi explained, "That is a Greedy Dream Wolf. It is not a Demonic Beast. It is a Rank 7 Spirit Beast. Its strength is average, but it is good at creating illusions. It is extremely rare. The Daybreak Flower's fragrance can help it speed up its cultivation. "
"Wherever it is, there will definitely be a Daybreak Flower. Later, I will make a move first to attract its attention. You go and pick the flower. As long as the two of us do not fall into the illusion at the same time, it will be easy to deal with."
Xiao Chen nodded and did not say anything else. He took out a Medial Grade Spirit Stone from the Universe Ring and sat cross-legged on the ground.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Yue Chenxi looked at Xiao Chen, who was preparing to cultivate. He said in astonishment, "At this time, when the huge waves are weaker, it is the time when there are the most people on the island. If we startle the Greedy Dream Wolf, it might eat the Daybreak Flower."
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "There is no need to go through so much trouble with the two of us. You alone should be enough. If there are any unexpected situations, just wake me up."
There were still more than twenty hours to wait. This was a long time. Xiao Chen did not want to waste this time. Furthermore, staring in one direction for a long time made him tired.
Xiao Chen slowly circulated the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation. An endless stream of Spiritual Energy came from the Medial Grade Spirit Stone and headed for the Qi whirlpool in his dantian.
Xiao Chen had just broken through to Superior Grade Martial Saint not long ago. He still needed some time to stabilize his cultivation before he could use the Spirit Herb to break through to peak Superior Grade Martial Saint.
After all, Spirit Herbs were external items. Without a good foundation, they would be like a loose dam. The vast Medicinal Energy was like a gushing flood. Without a good dam, it would immediately collapse.
Not only would it not raise his cultivation, but it would also cause great harm to his cultivation. Xiao Chen had to be careful.
Xiao Chen did not have the ability to fail. Thus, he could not waste too much of the twenty-odd hours he had left.
The pure Essence in the Spirit Stone was quickly drained. As the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation circulated in a great cycle, it slowly flowed into his dantian.
The purple cyclone expanded bit by bit, becoming more solid and tenacious bit by bit.
Time slowly went by. By the time Xiao Chen opened his eyes again, the sky was already dark; it was already evening.
When Bai saw that Xiao Chen had woken up, she said pitifully, "Elder Brother Xiao Chen, Bai is hungry."
Xiao Chen smiled gently and put away the Medial Grade Spirit Stone that still had half of its energy left. He said, "Let's eat, I am a little hungry as well."
When Bai heard this, she immediately smiled happily. She received the food that Xiao Chen handed over and started eating happily.
Aside from preserving the quality of the food, the Universe Ring could also preserve freshness. Thus, Xiao Chen's food was very tasty; it almost retained its original taste.
The aroma assailed their noses; the two of them ate to their satisfaction. Xiao Chen took out a wine cup and filled it with wine, preparing to take another sip.
Bai quickly removed the bottle gourd at her waist. Her intelligent eyes squinted into a pair of crescent moons; she looked very cute. "Elder Brother Xiao Chen, come, cheers!"
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and clinked his bottle gourd with Bai's. Then, he drained the wine in his cup in one gulp.
Yue Chenxi turned his head and looked at the two eating happily. His intelligent eyes were filled with dissatisfaction. He said somewhat speechlessly, "White Robed Hero, what are you doing now?"
Xiao Chen gently put down the wine cup and muttered, "Eating."
Yue Chenxi said somewhat angrily, "This Daybreak Flower is very important to me. If I miss this opportunity, who knows how long I will have to wait to find it again?
"If we startle the Greedy Dream Wolf, all our efforts will be for naught. I beg you, White Robed Hero, can you be more serious? As a cultivator, it is no big deal to skip a meal. Just bear with it and it will be over."
"Gurgle!
Gurgle! "Just as Yue Chenxi finished speaking, a strange sound came from her stomach; it was drawn-out.
Suddenly, Yue Chenxi blushed. Only now did she remember that she had rushed back from the Boundless Sea and then rushed to Qianren Island. It had been a long time since she had eaten.
Bai quickly took out some food and handed it to Yue Chenxi. She said, "Elder Sister Yue, your stomach is growling from hunger. Eat something. If you do not eat, you will feel uncomfortable. In the past, Bai often forgot to eat as well. "
Yue Chenxi blushed. She could only blame her stomach for not doing her best. Of all times, it had to growl at this moment. Earlier, she had said that as a cultivator, skipping a meal was nothing.
She had used this reason to teach Xiao Chen a lesson. In the end, retribution came. He is going to make me laugh to death, Yue Chenxi thought awkwardly.
"Eat something. For a peak Medial Grade Martial King's stomach to growl, you must have not eaten for at least half a month. Since the Daybreak Flower is so important to you, all the more you need to eat. I will help you take a look. "
