Chapter 323: Contemplation (2/2)

”You are the same.” Bai Tianyi looked at Xue Wei. ”Although your talent is heaven-defying, and although your advance is rapid, you can only just be compared to some geniuses of the central region. If you were not an Azure Dragon, it would be deadly for you to travel around like this.”

Xue Wei looked at Bai Tianyi, and his eyes had turned solemn. He knew that Bai Tianyi was not lying, so although he had been quite proud of his own achievements, it seemed that he had been complacent. He was still nothing when compared to the rest of the world.

Sighing, he looked up towards the ceiling, feeling slightly apprehensive. He never questioned his decisions and now was not the time to do it. He just felt resigned. Life was so fragile.

”Don't look so sad,” Bai Tianyi said. ”We are living life to the fullest,” he continued.

”Although we are not heaven-sent geniuses, we are still able to traverse the world. We are seeing things that most people would never get to see in their entire lives. We are lucky as we never go hungry and we are able to chase our dreams and our goals, never looking back, never backing down.”

Xue Wei listened to Bai Tianyi's words, and he felt more and more invigorated by listening.

Bai Tianyi smiled wryly when looking at Xue Wei. Although Xue Wei was the core of their group, he was also the one with the most pressure on his shoulders.

When they encountered problems, it was Xue Wei they looked to, to solve them.

When they needed something, it was Xue Wei they looked at to get what they wanted or found a way to get it for them.

Xue Wei was always in charge of their living expenses; he had to make sure that they could afford not only the regular costs but also have resources to cultivate their energies as fast as possible.

It was no wonder that he sometimes felt lost and unsure of his path in life, but at moments like these, his friends proved that they were indeed worthy of being considered good friends.

They would encourage him, support him, and calm him. It was these friends who were the reason that he had not given up on life yet, and for them, he would do anything.

Thinking like this, Xue Wei smirked. So what if he was not a genius comparable to the geniuses of the central region? He was able to work harder than anyone else!

Even if he was not a talent, he was a hard worker, and he believed that everything would be possible if he just tried his best. In case it ended up not being enough, then there was nothing to do about it, but he would be able to die without regrets because he did his very best. He lived strongly and never backed down!

The more he thought like this, the stronger the aura around him became. He was filled with excitement and energy, his face, which previously had been slightly listless, was now blossoming with a brilliant smile.

Bai Tianyi smirked when he saw this, and he felt much better now than he had before. It was good to see that Xue Wei had refound his faith in himself.

”Let us rush to the Saint realm!” Xue Wei exclaimed and smiled as he went up the stairs towards his own room. ”Call for me if Murong Jing arrives. The delegation is leaving in nineteen days, so until then, focus on your cultivation!”

The King, or Jiang Yingyue as she was called now, had decided not to follow the delegation any longer. She was going to stay with Tao Wu and the pirate group.

But apart from her, the rest of the delegation had planned on continuing their journey, and it could not be delayed for too long.

They were currently stuck on the island because they had sold the blood ship. But they had commissioned another ship which was being made right then and there.

The blood ship had provided them with an outstanding number of essence stones, and they had bought a ship that was infused with formations and inscriptions.

It was going to be able to utilize the wind in the air to increase its speed. It was going to be unable to burn, and it would be still even during high seas and storms.

Because of the many inscriptions and formations, the creation of the ship was going to take a long time. This was also the reason why the delegation was still residing on Treasure Island.

In these nineteen days, Xue Wei needed to refine pills for Tao Wu and Murong Jing. Nineteen days had to be enough.

When refining pills, Xue Wei was cultivating his spiritual energy. It required spiritual energy to refine pills, and the more difficult it was, the more spiritual energy one would gain.

So it was beneficial for Xue Wei to refine pills, but he did not have an unlimited amount of resources. The price for making a two-colored Rainbow Pill was simply unexpected, and the previous five pills had almost exhausted his supply of resources.

He still had ingredients for the one colored rainbow pill, but the two colored rainbow pills were costly, and he could not help but fear the price of the three colored rainbow pills. If the price continued to rise like this with each of the recipes, Xue Wei started thinking that the seven-colored Rainbow Pills would end up exhausting a whole continent for resources.

Unless the ingredients changed with time, then he could only fear that it was impossible to make a seven-colored rainbow pill.

With this in his mind, Xue Wei went into his room and began cultivating his Qi while waiting for Tao Wu to send the ingredients his way.
