"This Black Annihilation Wind should be a powerful Divine Ability," Li Feiyu murmured to himself, feeling the terrifying destructive aura it emitted, which made him take this Young Master seriously.
Being able to fight him for so long, Li Feiyu guessed that this Young Master was also in the Late Foundation Establishment stage, possessed excellent Magical Artifacts, and powerful Divine Abilities. He speculated that the Young Master's identity was not simple; perhaps he was someone heavily nurtured by the Star Plucking Pavilion or the Star Commerce Alliance.
"But I'm not lacking in Divine Abilities either!"
Li Feiyu's lips curled into a smile, giving up on attacking with the Lihuo Sword. He also began to form hand seals, and various red and gold talismans appeared in the air, giving off a mysterious and profound feeling.
The Black Annihilation Wind, carrying an aura that could destroy all things, blew towards Li Feiyu. The fluctuations seemed to annihilate one's Divine Soul.
Talisman after talisman of red and gold landed on the Black Annihilation Wind, causing its forward speed to instantly falter.
It wasn't until all thirty-six talismans had landed that the full power of the Scarlet Sun Thirty-Six Strikes erupted.
Boom boom boom~
The Black Annihilation Wind was annihilated, and the talismans dissipated.
"How is that possible?!"
The Young Master was somewhat incredulous; one of his trump card Divine Abilities, the Black Annihilation Wind, had been easily broken by the opponent!
Li Feiyu's figure flickered, disappearing directly before the Young Master's eyes. When he reappeared, he was holding a red and gold Fire lotus, even more terrifying than before, behind the Young Master, and then pushed it into his waist.
The Young Master had no time to react. At that moment, a blue light burst forth from him, blocking the Fire lotus.
But the force of the explosion still sent him flying!
Li Feiyu, at the moment of his attack, activated the Scarlet Sun Escape again to retreat.
The Scarlet Sun Escape is a Escape technique Divine Ability that can be used for long-distance evasion or short-distance teleportation.
Its speed was almost instantaneous.
However, it was mainly because the Young Master had just been momentarily stunned that it gave him the opportunity to successfully ambush.
Li Feiyu stopped his attack and looked at the somewhat disheveled Young Master on the ground opposite him with a slight smile.
Seeing that he didn't appear to be injured, Li Feiyu was slightly surprised. He thought that the blue light that had lit up earlier must have been some kind of automatic protective treasure.
The Young Master got up and first tidied himself up. It seemed he was quite concerned about his appearance.
He said with a wry smile, "Ever since I cultivated this Black Annihilation Wind Divine Ability, I thought that among all the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators under fifty in the entire Chaotic Star Sea, even if I wasn't first, I could at least rank in the top three. I never expected to be defeated by an unknown person in this remote southwestern corner today."
"What is your name?"
Li Feiyu said calmly, "Don't you have to introduce yourself before asking for someone else's name?"
The Young Master sighed, "Alright, my name is Xing Jueyi, and I'm known as Young Master Heavenly Wind."
"Li Feiyu," Li Feiyu stated concisely.
"By the way, Brother Li, how old are you this year?"
"Forty-seven."
"You're actually one year younger than me. How do you Cultivate? Many Divine Abilities require corresponding Heaven And Earth Treasures to Cultivate, otherwise the cultivation speed is very slow."
"You…"
"No comment! As for the cooperation, I should have passed, right?"
Xing Jueyi said, "That's natural. Your strength definitely ranks in the top ten among Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators in the Chaotic Star Sea."
"Top ten? Didn't you just say you were in the top three yourself?!"
"Oh, that? That was my own ranking, only for cultivators under fifty years old. As for those Old Monsters who are over a hundred years old and have accumulated vast experience, they have at least two or three Divine Abilities, so their strength is naturally terrifying."
"However, they are all fools. They don't pursue the Realm but pursue strength. Without the Realm, in a few more decades, they will all turn to dust."
"Brother Li, your strength is so formidable, and our ages are similar. Why don't we become friends? I'll give you this Star Token."
Li Feiyu hesitated, not knowing what the other party wanted. However, when he heard Xing Jueyi say that with this Star Token, one could get a 30% discount on all purchases at any establishment under the Star Commerce Alliance, Li Feiyu's expression immediately changed.
"I also think we became friends through fighting!"
He decided to take the benefits first and then deal with whatever came next.
Xing Jueyi smiled slightly. Who would ever refuse Spirit Stones?
Investing in such a young, powerful, and mysterious cultivator was a sure bet to make a profit.
"By the way, Brother Li, you should be close to Core Formation, right? I have some Snow Spirit Water and sky fire liquid here, which should be helpful to you."
Li Feiyu stared at Xing Jueyi, his eyes slightly narrowed. "No reward without merit. Xing Brother, please speak plainly."
Xing Jueyi said with a smile, "Brother Li is such a talented individual, and as a businessman, I naturally want to invest in you. I don't need you to do anything. In the future, if the Star Commerce Alliance encounters difficulties, and Brother Li is capable of helping, perhaps you could lend a hand."
So you're the kind of person who makes their path wider and wider!
The other party offered a Star Token, Snow Spirit Water, and sky fire liquid, worth tens of thousands of Spirit Stones. Li Feiyu was currently only at the Foundation Establishment Stage. Although his chances of Core Formation were not small, there were unforeseen circumstances, and such sincerity was already enough.
Since there was no malice, Li Feiyu would not push him away.
"Then I shall accept it without further ado."
"Brother Li, did you come to the Star Plucking Pavilion this time just to sell Demon Beast Materials?"
Xing Jueyi should be an important figure in the Star Commerce Alliance, and his connections should be quite extensive. Li Feiyu thought for a moment and said, "Mainly, I want to buy a top-tier wood-attribute Cultivation Technique that can at least be cultivated to the Core Formation stage stage."
Xing Jueyi was slightly stunned. "Brother Li, are you planning to Cultivate two Cultivation Techniques simultaneously? While this might enhance your combat methods and slightly improve your strength, compared to the time spent on cultivation, this small increase in strength is not worth mentioning. Wouldn't it be better to do so after you successfully reach Core Formation?"
Li Feiyu said, "Xing Brother, how do you know I'm not preparing in advance? I have my reasons."
Xing Jueyi gave an awkward smile. "How about this? I'll have someone bring you the best existing wood-attribute Cultivation Techniques here for you to choose from. How does that sound?"
"Then I thank Xing Brother."
Back in the reception room, Xing Jueyi chatted with Li Feiyu. Not long after, Steward He indeed brought three Jade Slips containing Cultivation Techniques.
"Young Master Heavenly Wind, these three Cultivation Techniques are the 'Azure Wood Green Thunder Art,' 'Green Wood Creation Formula,' and 'Wood Annihilation.' All can be cultivated to the Early Core Formation stage. The subsequent parts require approval from the headquarters."
"I understand." Xing Jueyi nodded. "You may leave."
After Executive Cheng left, Xing Jueyi generously said, "Brother Li, feel free to choose. Take whichever one you pick."
"I can give you a promise: if Brother Li successfully reaches Core Formation, you can directly claim the subsequent Cultivation Technique for free at the Star Plucking Pavilion headquarters in Tianxing City. Consider it my congratulation for your Core Formation!"
This path just keeps getting wider!
Li Feiyu used his Divine Sense to examine each Jade Slip. After a brief hesitation, he chose the 'Azure Wood Green Thunder Art,' which had the greatest power.
"Thank you, Xing Brother. I see that Xing Brother values his appearance greatly. I have a Medicinal Pill here that you might be interested in?"
Li Feiyu didn't want to accept such a favor for nothing, so he took out a Youth Preserving Pill.
"The Youth Preserving Pill, refined from several thousand-year-old Spiritual Plants. I also coincidentally obtained two pills from an Immortal Cave. I have already consumed one, and the other…"
"I want it!" Xing Jueyi said with burning eyes, "With this Youth Preserving Pill, my handsome appearance can be preserved forever! This is truly wonderful!"
Li Feiyu's mouth twitched slightly. Xing Jueyi took the Youth Preserving Pill and swallowed it directly.
At the same time, outside the Star Plucking Pavilion, a Core Formation cultivator walked in with a cold expression.
"Hmph, little thief, what if you erased my Divine Sense? I left a hidden trick on it. How could you possibly discover it?!"
