He knew how to stare!
If you stare at it with murderous hostility, you will never achieve your goal!
Calm! Without the concept of right and wrong, without the distinction between friend and foe, just treat it as observing a life form!
The most deadly way to kill was to wipe it out in calmness. There was no expression, no gnashing of teeth, no anger!
This was the real stare from the depths of the soul!
Lou Xiaoyi finally understood the profound meaning of killing. He could not help but admire the senior expert who wrote that sentence. Who was it? To have such a penetrating vision.
The bone spirits lined up and rushed into the vortex of the vertical eye to embrace their destiny. Lou Xiaoyi also left silently. He did not expect that one day, the Beast of Void would become his teacher!
He should be in awe of any living creature! This was what he learned from it.
He began to use the calmest and most emotionless eyes to look at everything around him. He might lose some, but he might also gain some. Such indifference and emotionlessness did not conform to his understanding of the world. However, if it was just to understand something, he might as well be indifferent for a period of time.
If he were to travel across a universe, with his current speed, it would take him about a year. However, this was the fastest speed he could go. If he were to search for spirits and comprehend them in the meantime, this time might reach up to five years. However, when he came out from the second point, the distance between him and Zhou Xian was more than ten universes away. One could imagine how much time it would take for him to fly back in his current state.
He did not care! His goal was to raise his cultivation to the Nine-Inch Nascent Soul before he returned to Zhou Xian. There was not much time to waste. His current age was steadily advancing towards that of a thousand-year-old monster. Under normal circumstances in the Cultivation World, he was already considered a late bloomer.
Without spiritual vigor in the storage ring, it would be a problem for him to cultivate when he returned. It was better to float outside now and make use of this opportunity to make up for his lack of spiritual vigor.
There were also fights, accidents, and killings. This was the normal rhythm of the Cultivation World.
The direction he was going was along the asteroid belt. This was also a super long asteroid belt that spanned more than ten universes. To a large extent, it helped the cultivators to solve the problem of direction in the void of the universe.
After decades of dedicated cultivation, Lou Xiaoyi had made great progress in all aspects, especially his cultivation base, which had begun to slowly but surely approach nine inches. For this, the price he had to pay was that the spiritual vigor in his ring was always empty. He could take it as he pleased, and there was no food left overnight. Among the cultivators in his realm, he could be considered an extreme exception.
He was already close to the Iron Horse Region. In less than a year, he would be close to the periphery of the cultivation circle of Zhou Xian. The human cultivation world began to increase, and the number of human cultivators in the void also increased.
On this day, Lou Xiaoyi was gathering spiritual vigor with his butt sticking out. He was close to the Nine-Inch Infant Stage, but he had not reached the critical point. With his experience, he would probably need another five hundred strands of Yuqing spiritual vigor to solve the problem. This was because the closer he was to the critical point, the lower the efficiency and the greater the consumption. This was the rule.
However, because he was close to the human cultivation world, the spiritual vigor became increasingly scarce. In places that had been plowed many times, there was not much for him to pick up. When he was rich, he had one hundred and fifty thousand strands of spiritual vigor in his hand. Now, he was worried about five hundred strands. The world was unpredictable.
He was fine. He had been rich before, and he had been poor before. He ate delicacies, pickles, and steamed buns. It did not matter.
He was a little hesitant. After passing the Iron Horse Region, the cultivation world would become more and more concentrated, and spiritual vigor would become more and more difficult to gather. Although five hundred was a small number, it would still waste a lot of time. Then, should he stop moving forward, or should he just go with the flow?
Six or seven cultivators were approaching from not far away. When they saw him, they slowed down but did not change their direction. Only one of the cultivators flew towards him. Apparently, he had no evil intentions. Perhaps, he was here to ask for directions?
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist. If you are not busy, may I have a word with you?" The cultivator who came over was very polite.
Lou Xiaoyi never rejected people who were polite. However, he had a habit of looking at people with his special purpose in the past few decades, so he was a little cold.
"Please speak."
Xiu Ting paused. He was also forced and had no other choice. Seeing that this person was alone and had reached the late stage of Yuanying, he was obviously a capable person. He could give it a try.
"In front of Daoist, I do not lie. I have an escort mission. Along the way, we were ambushed several times and lost a lot. I would like to invite Fellow Daoist to join us. We will pay you well. What do you think?" The Daoist was quite straightforward.
Lou Xiaoyi was also very straightforward. Obviously, the other party saw that he was having a hard time gathering spiritual vigor and felt that there was an opportunity. Therefore, he took the opportunity to ask for help. It was a normal way to ask for help in the void of the universe.
"Pay you well? How could he get preferential treatment? Escort? What about the itinerary? "
The Daoist saw that there was a chance, so he struck while the iron was hot. "Head to the Zhou Xian Upper Realm from here! Three years of itinerary! If you sign the contract, 500 Jade Purity. If you don't, 200 Jade Purity. What do you think, Fellow Daoist? "
The difference between signing the contract and not signing the contract was whether or not they would risk their lives. If they did not sign the contract, they would protect if they could. If they could not protect, they would leave. The cultivator's safety was the priority, so it was cheap. If they signed the contract, they would have to play with their lives, so it was more expensive.
In fact, the price of an escort mission was related to many aspects. The distance of the journey, the level of the risk, the identity of the opponent, the identity of the master, the power of the enemy, and so on. Lou Xiaoyi would not consider so much. It was impossible to only take advantage of others and not lose out. It was fine as long as it met his expectations.
He was too lazy to go out into the void for a mere 500 strands of spiritual vigor. Since he had the opportunity to go directly and solve the spiritual vigor problem in one go, he could accept it.
"Without signing the contract, 1000 Yuqing, no bargaining!"
The Daoist frowned. Bargaining was normal, but asking for a sky-high price was too much. Asking for 1000 strands of spiritual vigor without signing the contract was asking for an exorbitant price. No one's spiritual vigor came from the wind. However, a gentleman would not bargain viciously.
"If that's the case, I will have to ask Senior Brother to make a decision!"
The Daoist came to the side of the group and said to the leader, "Without signing the contract, 1000 strands of spiritual vigor is too greedy. Senior Brother Tian, what do you think?"
Senior Brother Tian sighed. A phoenix in distress was worse than a chicken. This kind of situation was the most difficult to deal with. If there were too many people, they would not dare to ask for help. They were afraid that the guests would overshadow the host and cause trouble. Thus, they could only ask for help from these lone travelers. However, these lone travelers often had the biggest problem. They were very arrogant and did not fit in with the group!
They might have some ability, but they would often make unreasonable and unrealistic requests!
This time, when they set out, there were a total of eleven Yuanying cultivators escorting an important person. At the beginning, it was considered safe. However, when they neared the vicinity of Zhou Xian, trouble began to arise. It was unknown where the news leaked, but groups of cultivators began to gang up and attack.
After two battles, the eleven people had been reduced to six. Including the person they were supposed to protect, seven people seemed very thin.
Furthermore, it was obvious that this kind of attack would continue. They were still three years away from Zhou Xian. This journey would not be easy.
