It was dawn. The sparkling, gleaming waves reflected under the sunlight when the first ray of sunshine rose from the east. Tang Xiu, Gu Xiaoxue, and Gu Yin emerged from the seabed, returning back to the small boat as the split sea closed again.

After returning to the shore.

Ji Chimei had been waiting for a long time, standing on the shore. She then saluted Tang Xiu.

Nodding to her, Tang Xiu asked, “How’s the refining of the Spirit Condensation Pill?”

Turning her hands, Ji Chimei took seven jade bottles and replied, “All the medicinal ingredients have been used and refined into seven bottles of Spirit Condensation Pill.”

Receiving three of them, Tang Xiu then said, “Take a bottle and give it to Yan’er. You and Xiaoxue also take one each. As for the last one, give it to Xiaoxue for future needs.”

“Understood!”

Ji Chimei gave three bottles to Gu Xiaoxue and kept one for herself. After putting it away, she said, “Venerable Lord, I got news yesterday that there will be an auction in Hong Kong tonight. I also found an item on the auction list which looks like a Soul Tranquilizer Stone, so I intend to leave for Hong Kong and participate in the auction.”

Soul Tranquilizer Stone?

Tang Xiu’s expression changed and almost without hesitation, he replied in a deep tone, “Soul Tranquilizer Stone is a not an ordinary matter. The more of it you can find, the more time we can give Yan’er. So I’ll go with you.”

Ji Chimei nodded.

Looking at Gu Yin, Tang Xiu thought a bit and said, “Xiaoxue, I had planned to bring along Yinyin to the private island and let her have some fun there. But the plan has to change now because I don’t know how much time will it take. Thus, I’ll leave her with you and let her play here for a few days. After that, have someone escort her back to Star City.”

“No problem,” replied Gu Xiaoxue with a smile.

Pouting her lips, Gu Yin didn’t utter a word. She wanted to follow Tang Xiu, but remembering she had to attend her course, she could only give up.

Having finished breakfast, Tang Xiu let Gu Xiaoxue take Gu Yin to rest as he returned to the exquisite pagoda in the seabed. Accompanying Gu Yan’er gave him peace of mind. He sat in meditation until morning and not only didn’t he feel tired, he was full of energy.

After Gu Xiaoxue used the Blood Sacrifice Art for him and he rested for one or two days, his mental force and star force that had been completely consumed had recovered; now there was even faint signs of improvement.

He had prepared to refine an interspatial ring in taking a trip to Jingmen Island this time. He brought the precious ores here and was prepared to refine the ring. After all, it was inconvenient to carry a baggage each time he went out without an interspatial ring.

After lunch, Tang Xiu saw Wolf Head and his team. The serious expression on their faces made him secretly amused. He could see that Wolf Head and his team’s attitude was somewhat different than before. Perhaps, after they had gone through the battle in Star City back then as well as seeing the many experts from the Everlasting Feast Hall stimulated the huge changes in their proud attitude.

“Tell me what you think,” having carefully observed the twelve men for a while, Tang Xiu said lightly.

Wolf Head said, “Boss, I’m a bit puzzled here.”

“Say it!”

“It’s just that you obviously have a lot of experts under you, Boss. Why would you still accept us? Either those twenty experts in Star City or the guards from the Everlasting Feast Hall, nobody is weaker than me. For the past two days ever since I arrived here, I had compared notes with several guards here, and lost miserably.”

“Do you really think that the experts under me are really many?” asked Tang Xiu lightly.

“Isn’t it so?” asked Wolf Head with doubt.

Sneering, Tang Xiu answered, “This means that you know nothing. How could it be called many? Countless in number, endless and exhaustible. That is what the so-called having experts as many as clouds are. The Everlasting Feast Hall may have a lot of guards, but it’s far pitiful a number to me. It’s far from sufficient. The people I want to cultivate are the elites among the elites; the strong among the strongest. Let alone you, even the guards from this Everlasting Feast Hall are just ants in my eyes.”

Wolf Head had indeed seen how strong Tang Xiu was. Yet, listening to as how Tang Xiu regarded the guards of the Everlasting Feast Hall as ants, it somewhat left him quite vexed and irritable inside. He thought that Tang Xiu was too arrogant. The other eleven men also had the same thought as they looked at Tang Xiu with a different expression.

Tang Xiu’s brows slanted and said indifferently, “You don’t believe it?”

“Boss, I admit that you’re indeed very strong. But how could these guards of Everlasting Feast Hall be weaker than you? If they were ants, nobody in this world can be called as a powerful expert.”

Tang Xiu frowned. He then turned his head to Ji Chimei at the side and said lightly, “What do you think about her strength?”

Staring blankly, Wolf Head was surprised and laughed involuntary before he immediately said, “Boss, could the elderly also be a martial arts expert? She might not even be able to beat us, right?”

Answering in a cold voice, Tang Xiu replied, “Ji Chimei, those few trees a hundred meters away outside are nuisances to my eyes.”

Ji Chimei finally looked up. Her cold eyes swept Wolf Head and the others. She waved the walking cane in her hand higher and swept toward the woods a hundred meters away outside. Along with a suffocating aura bursting out from her body, invisible blade waves straightly flew toward the dozen trees that were as thick as a waist and cut them off.
