Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms

Chapter 812: Chaotic Sea Current

A good love-making session was worth a thousand gold…

After some time, Song Qincheng had completely lost herself in it. At that moment, her soul started to synchronize with her past life. And that was the time for Chen Xiaobei to use the Green Jade Gourd and Blood Amber Bracelet to trigger the unique phenomenon. Immediately, Chen Xiaobei took these two items out from his Infinite Space Ring and placed them on the Somersault Cloud.

Now, they had already arrived at the Pacific Ocean – located exactly on the eastern side of Japan.

“Next, I need to locate the exact location of the Crimson Demonic Orb!”

While making love with Song Qincheng, Chen Xiaobei was anticipating for something to happen.

*Buzz…*

Just like the last two times, Blood Amber Bracelet and Green Jade Gourd could feel that Song Qincheng’s soul had already synchronized with Wu Zetian. These two items started to act upon it. The Blood Amber Bracelet projected the ancient City Luo Yang and the Green Jade Gourd displayed the picture of the East Ocean.

Following by that, the two pictures combined into one, turned into a ray of light and shone at the sea.

“It’s there!”

Immediately, Chen Xiaobei rode to where the light shone at with his Somersault Cloud. After some time, the ray of light shone right to the bottom of the sea.

“Seemingly, the Crimson Demonic Orb is located at this location! I have to dive into the sea to look for it!”

With the plan being set in his mind, Chen Xiaobei saw that there was no other island around him. So, he did not need to worry about being spotted by others. He then parked his Somersault Cloud right on top on where the Crimson Demonic Orb was. Before diving into the sea, Chen Xiaobei spent another ten minutes to finish the love-making session with Song Qincheng.

“Xiaobei… What is this place?” said Song Qincheng gently. Her pretty face looked exhausted.

“This is the East Ocean. Also known as the Pacific Ocean…”

Seeing that there was a layer of sweat on Song Qincheng’s skin, Chen Xiaobei took out some clothes to cover her.

“So, the fate that you mentioned to me earlier is located right here?”

“Right! It’s at the bottom of the ocean! I’m going to dive into the ocean and check it out!”

“At the bottom of the ocean? How is that even possible? Without any professional diving equipment with you, it’s not possible for any human being to dive into the ocean! And the water pressure in the ocean will kill you!”

“Don’t worry! Your man is no ordinary human being!”

Chen Xiaobei then stretched his back and prepared to jump into the ocean.

“Don’t try to act tough in front of me! I’m going to let you know that I’m going to jump into the ocean and die with you if you fail to come back up!”

Song Qincheng was no longer a timid and weak woman. With a determined heart, she knew exactly what she wanted.

“That is just too dramatic… I’m smarter than you think… I’m just going to give it a try first. I will think of other ways if I fail to get what I want.” said Chen Xiaobei with a warm smile on his face.

“Sounds good to me! You have to be extra careful!”

“I know.”

Chen Xiaobei nodded and smiled at Song Qincheng. He then carried the Blood Amber Bracelet and Green Jade Gourd with him and jumped into the ocean. His clothes and cell phone were being placed inside his Infinite Space Ring. So, he did not need to worry about them getting wet. And Chen Xiaobei managed to experience naked swimming as well. To his surprise, he actually felt really excited and enjoyed it a lot.

*Blurp*

*Blurp*

There were bubbles coming up from the bottom of the ocean. Chen Xiaobei was slowly exhaling while he was diving deeper and deeper into the ocean. An ordinary human being could only dive as deep as twenty meters without the help of professional diving equipment. The discomfort in their ears and body that caused by sea pressure would cause them to stop diving deeper.

Those that dived with professional diving equipment could dive as deep as three hundred meters. If human being wanted to dive deeper than three hundred meters, they would have to rely on submarines or robots. However, Chen Xiaobei was no ordinary human being. With 33,000 health, Chen Xiaobei’s physique was a thousand times stronger than an ordinary human being. In other words, he could withstand all kind of water pressures in the ocean. There was no way that they could cause harm to him.

As for the lack of oxygen that Song Qincheng mentioned earlier, it was not a problem for Chen Xiaobei as well. Considering that he had spent quite a long time to get from Qi refining stage to True Nirvana Stage, his internal breath allowed him to stop breathing for around thirty minutes. After diving deeper into the ocean, Chen Xiaobei found out a great problem that bothered him a lot.

That was vision!

It was at night and ocean was the kind of place where the deeper you go the less light you see. It was easy to dive down there but it was definitely not easy to look for items in a pitch black environment.

“Oh right! The Chaos Sword Essence can provide light!”

Immediately, Chen Xiaobei summoned his Chaos Sword Essence with his sheer will. Just as expected, the light that emitted from Chaos Sword Essence managed to shine around three meters radius around him.

“That should be more than enough! I should continue to dive deeper!”

Considering that Chen Xiaobei had already remembered the position where the light shone at just now, it should be easy for him to look for the item with light around him. After dived for around hundreds of meters and everything was peaceful around him.

“Eh? Am I at the bottom of the sea?”

Vaguely, Chen Xiaobei saw that there was a big shadow beneath him. He could feel that he had already arrived at the bottom of the sea.

*Blurp*

*Blurp*

Just when Chen Xiaobei wanted to put a smile on his face and thought that everything was finally done, a series of bubbles were coming at him.

“Eh? This is weird…”

Taken aback, Chen Xiaobei was getting frustrated. Seconds later, he was shocked by what he found out.

*Rumble*

The giant shadow beneath him started to move and the whole ground was shaking. The sea current was being meddled with and it was chaotic. Failing to stabilize his body in the water, Chen Xiaobei was carried away by the sea current like a dried leaf that floats on the water. At the same time, the seabed was being stirred at, a huge amount of sand was mixed with the sea current – making the whole place looked like it was being ravaged by a sandstorm. Chen Xiaobei’s nose and ear were filled with sand – making him felt really uncomfortable.

“What the hell is going on?”

Feeling unnerved, Chen Xiaobei decided to leave this place.

“I have to get out from this place immediately! If not, I will be in big trouble!”

Chen Xiaobei started to swim up as fast as possible.

But!

The chaotic sea current caused him to lose the ability to differentiate directions. The most frustrating part was after swimming up for a short while, the sea current would bring him to another place.

“I’m in big trouble! Sooner or later I will be killed here! Once the oxygen inside my body is finished, I will be dead!” said Chen Xiaobei in a nervous manner.

In front of Mother Nature, not even an elite with True Nirvana cultivation could do anything about it.

Chapter 813: Feeling More Wronged Than Dou E

“Mmm…”

The clock was ticking and Chen Xiaobei’s stamina was reaching its limit. Under normal circumstances, Chen Xiaobei could recycle the air within his body and last for at least half an hour in the water. Now that he was placed in a circumstance where sea current was constantly taking a toll on him so there was no way that Chen Xiaobei could last any longer in a place like that. At the same time, tiny grains of sand entered his nose and traveled down his throat – making him feel really uncomfortable. It would be a miracle if Chen Xiaobei could stay alive in that kind of place more than a minute.

“Shit! Am I really going to die here? This must be a joke! There are many things waiting for me to do… I cannot allow myself to die in a place like this…”

A sense of despair started to rise in his mind. It was not because he was a weakling. There was simply nothing he could do to help himself. Even an elite with Celestial cultivation would not survive in a situation like. Only a demigod that possessed the ability to control the weather was powerful enough to go against such a calamity!

“He… Hehehe…”

Suddenly, a creepy laugh could be heard from the shadows beneath Chen Xiaobei.

The creature then started to speak in Zoolingualism, “What kind of trash is that? When did such a weakling have the guts to invade my territory? You are going to die!”

“Eh? So, this chaotic sea current was caused by this sea monster?”

Considering that Chen Xiaobei had already mastered Zoolingualism, he could understand every single word that the sea monster had just said. However, he chose not to respond to him.

“Little shit! Stop struggling!”

“Is he talking to me? So, he could sense my presence in the sea?”

Thought Chen Xiaobei was in despair, it did not affect his thought process. An ordinary human being would have freaked out and given up to try to survive. Just as expected, Chen Xiaobei’s deduction was correct.

“I can sense your presence! This chaotic sea current will not stop as long as you are still breathing! Stop struggling! You are just torturing yourself! I suggest you give up and just die!”

Upon hearing that, the light of hope was lit in Chen Xiaobei’s heart.

“Now I know that this series of chaotic sea current is caused by this sea monster, all I need to do is kill it and bring peace back to this area! But, how am I supposed to get out from this ferocious sea current?”

“What a stubborn piece of trash! With your strength, it is simply not possible for you to fight against this sea current! I shall bring you death personally since you refuse to give up!”

*Rumble*

Right after the sea monster finished talking, it started to move even more vigorously. And the speed of sea current was boosted tremendously.

“F*ck! That was not his full strength?”

Feeling dizzy, Chen Xiaobei could feel that he was stuck inside a tornado. Seemingly the sea current was going to rip his bones apart.

“That sea monster is right! It is definitely not possible to break out from this sea current with only human strength!”

Still, Chen Xiaobei’s state of mind was still really calm in this life and death situation. Because he refused to give up, he finally figured out something to save himself.

“Since it’s not possible to rely on human strength to fight this sea current, I shall bring forth divine strength to stop this chaos! Red Envelope Group!”

Just like figuring out the Dao path, Chen Xiaobei had taken a long time to find a way to overcome this dreadful problem. However, once he hit the right spot, he would be able to connect all the dots in his mind together and solve the problem.

“My mind is acting really funny just now! How can I forget that I have managed to snatch something that could be used in the water yesterday? I have to act quickly now! Let me see what the item does in water!”

Ding!

[Hydrophobic Orb: It was crafted by the Third Prince of East Sea Dragon King. Upon consuming it, you will be able to acquire the high-tier skills of water creatures! You will be able to breathe normally and talk inside the water! Other than that, you will be granted immunity from all kind of sea calamities! Do you wish to withdraw it?]

“Damn! This is exactly the things that I need right now! Withdraw! I need it now!”

With his sheer will, a white pearl was being withdrawn from his Infinite Space Ring and appeared in Chen Xiaobei’s palm. Immediately, Chen Xiaobei swallowed it without saying anything.

“This is going to be so awesome!”

Having to shake his body involuntarily, Chen Xiaobei could feel the difference that brought forth by the Hydrophobic Orb.

*Whoosh!*

Once Chen Xiaobei exhaled, all the sands and seawater was flushed out from his nose. After that, no more sand and seawater entered his body. The most magical part was Chen Xiaobei could not breathe in the sea like he was on the land.

Right! You heard it right!

He now possessed the ability to separate oxygen from the seawater and supply to his body.

“This is way more comfortable now!”

Being able to breathe normally again, Chen Xiaobei let out a long sigh. The moment he opened his mouth, all the seawater was completely blocked from entering his mouth. It was as if there was an invisible barrier surrounded him.

“This is so freaking awesome! Glad I have this Hydrophobic Orb with me!”

The thing that he felt most excited about the orb was the final ability granted to Chen Xiaobei.

Immune from all the sea calamities.

All the sea pressure and sea current around him was completely disappeared. At that moment, Chen Xiabei could feel that there was no seawater around him even though he was still in the sea. And the most magical part was Chen Xiaobei did not lose the ability to float in seawater and fell to the bottom of the sea. In other words, the Hydrophobic Orb allows him to control the sea pressure, resistance, and floating ability.

Seawater would become his most reliable partner if he could master all his ability.

“Just like the saying goes, Good things and bad things are often connected with each other! It’s actually a bad thing that I managed to snatch so many Red Envelopes! I almost forgot that I have the awesome Hydrophobic Orb with me! If I die here, I will experience more injustice than Dou E

After surviving the life threatening situation, Chen Xiaobei was finally relieved.

Tonight, he managed to snatch eighteen Red Envelopes. Right after that, he went and deal with some other small matters. Following by that, he went ahead to make love with Song Qincheng. Until he dived into the sea, Chen Xiaobei did not even have time to check on all the items that he acquired just now.

“Eh? Why are you still not dead? Let me give in more strength to speed up your death! I will respect you as a true man if you manage to hang in there for another half minute!” said the sea monster in disdain.

Clearly, he did not treat Chen Xiaobei as his proper opponent. In other words, it just underestimated Chen Xiaobei. That was the good thing about Chen Xiaobei forgot about his Hydrophobic Orb earlier!

*Swoosh*

A pitch black combat saber appeared in Chen Xiaobei’s hand. He then dove toward the sea monster and the Chaos Sword Essence was following right behind him.

“Garbage! Die now! Hahaha…”

The sea monster was laughing out loud. It would not expect that Chen Xiaobei was laughing at it as well.

Someone or something was going to die! Chen Xiaobei was definitely not the one!

Chapter 814: Killing the Ancient Sea Monster

Within the chaotic sea current, Chen Xiaobei was swimming toward the sea monster like a sea dragon. The Hydrophobic Orb allows him to breathe, talk, block out seawater, and even given the ability to see clearly in the ocean.

“King Octopus?”

Finally, Chen Xiaobei could see the look of that sea monster that tried to kill him. His sphere-shaped body was sized at twenty to thirty meters! It was exactly the giant dark shadow that Chen Xiaobei spotted earlier. Its eight tentacles were larger than a python and its length was at least twenty to thirty meters as well. They were lying on the seabed and moving non-stop. The sandstorm and the chaotic sea current were definitely caused by these tentacles.

“Often, deep sea gigantic sea monsters are used as an idea to produce sci-fi movies. It seems like not all of them are fake! This King Octopus can definitely be classified as one of those giant sea monsters!”

At the same time, Chen Xiaobei activated his Netherspirit Battlescouter to check on the King Octopus.

Ding!

[Cultivation: Eight-Star Spiritual Beast. Health: Colossal Spiritual Physique (Pinnacle). Combat power: 40,000!]

“This sea monster’s combat power is even higher than Xiaobai and Sirius! Without the help of the Heavenly Pet Food, it has to grow slowly and steadily. In other words, it had achieved Eight-Star Spiritual Beast decades ago! So, it can now be considered one of those ancient monsters!”

Focusing on the sea monster, Chen Xiaobei continued to dive deeper into the sea.

Chen Xiaobei smirked boldly and said, “That’s why I say it’s actually not a bad thing that I forgot about the Hydrophobic Orb! If I consumed it in the very beginning, I would end up in its mouth! Forgetting the Hydrophobic Orb managed to make it underestimate me! This is my golden opportunity to take it down!”

With both of his hands holding the Black Sword, Demonic Dragon Apocalypse, Chen Xiaobei aimed at the King Octopus with an evil smile on his face.

“The supper for tonight is Takoyaki!”

*Swoosh*

Chen Xiaobei then used his sheer will to activate the ability given by the Hydrophobic Orb. Immediately, all the water pressure around him was gone. Like a speed demon, Chen Xiaobei dove at the sea monster like he was dashing at someone on the ground with lightning speed! The 40,000 combat power allowed him to transform himself into a shadow while approaching the sea monster.

The King Octopus underestimating him was a divine opportunity.

Borrowing the power of the sea was a geographical advantage for him.

And Chen Xiaobei’s combat power complemented the two factors that benefited him perfectly!

*Swoosh!*

While approaching the sea monster, Chen Xiaobei channeled his True Qi to his body and formed a water attribute True Kang around him. Since he was in the water, the water attribute True Kang would definitely boost his strength greatly. Once he achieved Celestial cultivation, he would be able to communicate with the elements around him and borrow strength from Mother Nature to deal with his enemies!

Of course, the King Octopus that stood in path did not require an elite with Celestial cultivation to deal with it! With the help of all those advantages that he just gained, he could definitely kill it with ease.

“Wind!”

The Crimson Turmoil took the lead and went and attacked the King Octopus.

“Eh? That garbage still has the strength to come and attack me? Do you really think your useless skill can do any damage to me? Dream on!”

*Swoosh!!!*

The King Octopus used one of its tentacles to launch an attack at Chen Xiaobei. The combination of its immense strength and its special ability, Engulfing Ocean could bring tens of thousands of tons of seawater to attack its enemies. Once the Chaos Sword Essence came in contact with the seawater, its attack was nullified and was sent miles away.

“You are really a piece of shit! So weak! Hahaha… Ehh…”

Just when King Octopus was laughing in confidence, something stopped its laughter all of a sudden. Its laughter was replaced by endless waves of fear!

“My back! What the hell is going on?! What the f*ck is happening to me?!!! Ugh!!! Ah…”

The King Octopus could feel that an arrow had pierced through his back! And this arrow was more destructive than those ordinary arrows! It was moving within the King Octopus’s body and destroying his internal organs and hearts!

*Blargghh…*

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, the King Octopus and its tentacles finally stopped moving.

“How did this happen to me… What just happened?”

In only a few seconds, the lively King Octopus was now on the verge of dying. The most pathetic part was he did not even know how it ended up in such state.

*Swoosh*

Suddenly, the chest of the King Octopus was being slashed by a dark blade. A huge amount of blood and minced flesh flowed out from the open wound and a person could be seen swimming out of the wound.

“You… Who are you… Who the hell are you?”

“I’m just a piece of garbage!” said Chen Xiaobei while shrugging nonchalantly.

“No! This is not possible… Absolutely not possible… No…”

Letting out a wail of despair, the King Octopus found it hard to believe that it was killed by an ordinary human being. It really wanted to know who in the world Chen Xiaobei was. Unfortunately, it would never know the answer.

*Boom!*

Like a crumbling mountain, the King Octopus’s body plunged and never got back up. A 40,000 combat power deep-sea ancient monster was killed by Chen Xiaobei with only a single hit!

“Wind!”

Using his sheer will to control the Chaos Sword Essence, it flew back to Chen Xiaobei immediately. Chen Xiaobei then kept away the Demonic Dragon Apocalypse and took out the Blood Amber Bracelet and Green Jade Gourd.

“Next, I need to look for the Crimson Demonic Orb!”

Upon calming himself down, Chen Xiaobei used his heart to feel the change of the two Spiritual Items that he was holding in his hand. After entering a very particular area, these two items were summoned by a mysterious force. Chen Xiaobei then followed their lead and found the spot very soon.

“So! It is located right under the King Octopus! It was no wonder this ancient sea monster would not leave this spot! Seemingly, it was borrowing the Spiritual Strength of the orb to make itself more powerful!”

With his sea ability, Chen Xiaobei utilized the sea pressure to send the body of the King Octopus few meters away from him.

Just as expected!

A fist size crimson orb was stuck in one of the rock on the seabed!

Clearly, this was the Demonic Crimson Orb that Chen Xiaobei had been looking for a long time!

“I think the crimson rune around it should be a mini formation!”

After paying closer attention to it, Chen Xiaobei found out that the crimson rune around the orb looked like the light came from a crimson son. It was really unique. Since Chen Xiaobei was no stranger to rune pattern, he could guess that the rune served as a seal to protect the orb. That was why the King Octopus could not carry the orb with it. Rendering with no other option, it had to stay here to train itself.

Chen Xiaobei then placed the Blood Amber Bracelet and Green Jade Gourd on the left and right side of the orb.

*Buzz*

Just like what he guessed earlier, something magical happened right before his eyes.

Chapter 815: Just Sit There and Wait for the Reward

*Buzz*

*Buzz*

The Blood Amber Bracelet and Green Jade Gourd started to act up. The entire area around Chen Xiaobei was dyed in green and red. Both of these colors were separated – like water and fire. They were never going to mix with each other. And the Demonic Crimson Orb was placed right in between of the line – looking like a red-hot sun that rose above the green water.

*Klak*

*Klak*

Seconds later, the Crimson Demonic Orb left the seal and floated right before Chen Xiaobei.

“This demonic pill had been fallen into the sea for hundreds of years! I can sense that the Spiritual Essence inside it is rather weak. Considering that there were different kind of monsters came and absorb the essence from it, it is definitely weaker when compared to the time when the giant serpent tried to go against the calamity…”

After observing it for a while, Chen Xiaobei felt that it was wasted. The fact that a giant beast tried to go against the calamity, its strength and power were as powerful as a demigod at pinnacle phase! Chen Xiaobei could fully utilize if he was the first person that came in contact with this orb. It was true that the true potential of the orb was wasted but Chen Xiaobei was here to evolve his Chaos Sword Essence. Being able to achieve his goal was still very exciting for him.

*Swoop*

With his sheer will, Chen Xiaobei summoned his Chaos Sword Essence back to him. Having the ability to absorb anything that could benefit it, the Chaos Sword Essence immediately absorbed all the essence within the orb. Soon, the Crimson Demonic Orb lost its crimson color and became pale white – like the color of a skeleton. In other words, all the essence inside it was completely drained.

“This is weird… Why can’t I see any changes from the Chaos Sword Essence? Logically speaking, Chaos Sword Essence should have the point where it is going to evolve to the next phase. The essence from the Crimson Demonic Pill should be enough to make it evolve to a Spiritual Item.” Chen Xiaobei wondered in frustration.

“What’s wrong with it? Too bad. Sifu is not back yet. If not, I can ask him about it… He promised me that he would be back during the Chinese New Year. So, he should be back within these two days. I think I should just wait for him to come back first. I’m not in rush anyway.”

After putting some thought into it, Chen Xiaobei realized that it was not necessary for him to evolve his Chaos Sword Essence to kill enemies. So, it was useless for him to continue to dwell on it. Everything would be solved easily once the Prime of Tongtian returned to the heavenly realm.

*Swoosh*

Just when Chen Xiaobei was about to keep away his Chaos Sword Essence and left this place, something unexpected happened right before his eyes. The cork of the Green Jade Gourd opened by itself and the Spiritual Qi inside it was being consumed by the Chaos Sword Essence!

“What the hell?! How did this happen?”

Seeing that all the hard-earned Spiritual Qi being consumed, Chen Xiaobei could feel his heart was aching badly. Spiritual Qi was after all one of the things that he needed the most right now.

After calming himself down and thought about it, Chen Xiaobei managed to come to a realization.

“I know now! Chaos Sword Essence is about to evolve into a Spiritual Item! Just like crafting the Infinite Space Ring, it will need a lot of Spiritual Qi to trigger a more powerful Spiritual Attribute! So, it has to consume more Spiritual Qi to complete the process! This can be considered a necessary investment.”

“Just take in more Spiritual Qi! More! Chaos Sword Essence is given by my Sifu! To me, it has a very special place in my heart! In the future, it has much potential to turn into a killing weapon that is even more powerful than the Godslayer Sword! So, the investment that I pour into it is definitely worth it!”

After some time, the Chaos Sword Essence finally stopped consuming Spiritual Qi from the Green Jade Gourd. Of course, Chen Xiaobei was no longer baffled by it.

“Next, the Chaos Sword Essence is going to need some time to digest all those Spiritual Qi that it just absorbed. What I need to do right now is head back to Paradise Island immediately! Then, I will lend the Sanmei True Fire from Hong Haier to speed up the digestion process!”

Upon thinking about that, Chen Xiaobei kept all these belongings back to his Infinite Space Ring and swam back to where he came from. Before Chen Xiaobei kept his Green Jade Gourd back to his treasure chest, he went ahead and checked the remaining Spiritual Qi inside the Green Jade Gourd. The Spiritual Qi left inside it was equivalent to 2,100 pieces of Spiritual Stones. Earlier, Chen Xiaobei had scammed a thousand Spiritual Stones from the Zhuang Family. After that, he took another hundred Spiritual Stone from them as fees to diagnose their family members. In other words, the Chaos Sword Essence just consumed a whopping 6,000 Spiritual Stones in that short moment!

With that, Chen Xiaobei could predict that the evolved Chaos Sword Essence was going to be extremely powerful. Again, it was a huge investment but it was worth it in the end. Feeling confident about this Chaos Sword Essence, Chen Xiaobei’s heart was filled with anticipation.

*Swoop*

*Swoop*

The moment when Chen Xiaobei almost swam back to where he came from, the green and red light came from behind him. And they shot up to the sky.

“Shit! They are heading towards Qincheng!”

Taken aback, Chen Xiaobei quickly swam back up.

*Swoosh*

The Somersault Cloud flew to Chen Xiaobei and Chen Xiaobei proceeded to jump on it.

“Xiaobei! You are finally back!”

Song Qincheng was still sitting on the Somersault Cloud. The moment she saw Chen Xiaobei, a gentle and sweet smile appeared on her face.

“Are you alright? Did that two ray of beams hurt you?” asked Chen Xiaobei in a nervous manner.

“I’m fine. That two beam rays landed on my body and they disappear right after that. I thought they were the signal that you gave to me just now.” said Song Qincheng while shaking her head.

“Are you sure you are okay?”

Frowned, Chen Xiaobei used Bagua Qi Observation Skill to check on Song Qincheng. Still feeling worried, Chen Xiaobei went ahead to check her pulse through touching her wrist. Seemingly, everything was normal.

“What’s wrong with you? You don’t look okay… Wear your clothes! Don’t catch a cold…”

“Okay…”

“Maybe you just met your fate! I’m still not too sure about it! I will have to ask my Sifu when he returns!”

“Fate? Are you trying to tell me that two are related to my fate?”

“I’m pretty sure about it! We will know when my Sifu returns!”

……..

At Paradise Island.

Everyone was still celebrating the Lunar New Year at the heart of the castle. Once Chen Xiaobei and Song Qincheng returned, they could not help but tease them about doing some naughty stuff. With a smile on his face, Chen Xiaobei went and look for Hong Haier and the two of them ran out from the castle immediately. Considering that Song Qincheng was a smart woman, she managed to make up some convincing reason to tell all of them.

Outside the house.

Putting the Sanmei True Fire into the Green Jade Cauldron, Chen Xiaobei started to burn and craft his Chaos Sword Essence. Next, Chen Xiaobei would need to wait for the auction that was going to be held tomorrow!

Selling the ten thousand years old Ambergris would allow him to earn a ridiculous amount of Spiritual Stones! After the auction, Chen Xiaobei would be able to collect his evolved Chaos Sword Essence! He felt so excited just by thinking about it!

Chapter 816: Two Auctioned Items

*Dong! Dong! Dong!*

Midnight was finally here. And that marked the very first day of the Lunar New Year! Focker had prepared a massive firework show for them. The colorful bright light that came from the firework managed to light up the whole night sky.

According to tradition, the adults were supposed to give out red envelopes to the younger one. Little Fire Boss, NeZha, Hong Haier, Wenyuan, and Murong Xiaobei were given many red envelopes. Without a doubt, they felt really happy about it. Though Chen Xiaobei’s age was similar to theirs, he became the one that gave out the most number of red envelopes. All the red envelopes that he gave out contained a bank card with 8,888,888 inside it.

Do not ask why! With the money that he owns, he can do whatever he pleases!

Finally, the Lunar New Year Eve came to an end. Everyone went back to their room to have a good sleep with a joyful heart.

During the second day.

Almost everyone slept until noon. Wonderful lunch was served to them once they woke up. After having their lunch, they brought in the mood to enjoy the facilities on the island – like they were living in paradise. This was all thanks to Chen Xiaobei. However, he himself did not even have the time to go and relax.

“How long till the auction?” asked Chen Xiaobei.

“Half an hour! People have started to enter the auction hall.”

“Okay. I think I should head in as well. I’m curious what kind of people will attend such a high-end auction!”

The more powerful people came to attend this auction, the more valuable the Ambergris became!

“Actually, you don’t have to rush it! The ten thousand years old Ambergris was arranged to be sent out last! There are two more items being auctioned off before it! You might need to wait for some time before the Ambergris is presented to potential buyers.”

“Oh right! I have meant to ask you, what are the other two items that are about to be auctioned off? I believe that they are no ordinary items since they are valuable enough to be auctioned together with my Ambergris!”

“You are right! Though the other two items are not as valuable as Ambergris! They could still be considered as one of those really rare items in this world! A lot of people are actually here to buy them!”

“The first item is a thousand-year-old white jade Ganoderma! The second one…”

“What?! Are you sure it’s a white jade Ganoderma? And it’s one thousand years old?”

Before Focker could finish his sentence, Chen Xiaobei went ahead and interrupted him.

“I’m pretty sure! Before I send anything to the auction, I will ask a professional to check on them! I will never allow myself to make any silly mistake! If not, my reputation will be at stake!”

“This is great! This is really great! I have been looking for this item for so long! I have never thought that I can cross path with this white jade Ganoderma on Paradise Island!”

“Master, why are you so happy about it?”

This white jade Ganoderma is one of the main ingredients to concoct the Skybreaking Cultivation Pill! And this is exactly the item that I need the most right now!”

“Eh? Something doesn’t add up… Regarding the medical ingredient that you ask me to find last time, I don’t see white jade Ganoderma being written on it!”

“You are right! I did not write white jade Ganoderma! Instead, I wrote a thousand-year-old Ganoderma! But a white jade Ganoderma can replace the thousand-year-old Ganoderma! And the effect of the pills will be boosted by folds!”

“But I know that white jade Ganoderma is extremely rare! That is why I didn’t write it on the list!”

“No matter what I need to get my hands on it today since I finally found the item that I wanted for a long time! Oh right! What is the starting bidding price of the white jade Ganoderma?”

“Five billion dollars!”

“What? That is so expensive!”

Five billion dollars is equivalent to thirty-two billion yuan! That is more than the total wealth of the Lan Family! And this was only the starting bidding price! In other words, the price would increase if there were a lot of people bid for it! That was completely beyond Chen Xiaobei’s expectation. But, he knew that it was only logical that it had such a high price tag on it since it was extremely rare!

Considering that its medical value was extremely high, those who needed it would not value it with money. Chen Xiaobei would not hesitate to get it since he had a lot of money with him. Even if he was asked to use all his money to trade for it, he would definitely say yes to it with no questions asked. The only thing that he worried was the money inside his account might not be able to fight off some of the fearsome potential buyers. Immediately, Focker was smart enough to know that Chen Xiaobei’s worry.

“No way! I have actually attracted a lot of attention for bringing my family to come to your castle to celebrate the Lunar New Year! Your family is going to come and look for me if I ask you to pay for it!”

“Err… Master! You are right! When it comes to money, my family is always very sensitive about them… Transactions that are more than billion will be monitored by some specialists!”

“That is why I cannot use your money! Actually, you don’t have to worry too much about it! Billions of dollars and thirty-nine billion yuan should be enough to buy out the item, right?”

“The money that you have with you is more than the starting bidding price by a fold! If I’m not mistaken, that should be more than enough!”

“Okay! Sounds good to me! What is the second item that is about to be auctioned off after the first item? You did not finish your sentence just now.”

“The second item is a mysterious box that from an ancient pyramid!”

“Mysterious box? Why is it mysterious?”

“After the professional checked on it, they are sure that this mysterious box was one of the items that Pharaoh brought with him when he was being mummified and buried! Until now, no one can open that box! The entire box was made of some special metal! And there is a keyhole above it! Countless locksmiths have tried their luck on it but none of them could unlock the box!”

“There were even people tried to use dynamite to blow it open! And there were people tried to pour acid on it! None of these methods work so far.”

Upon hearing that, Chen Xiaobei’s curiosity was piqued.

“From the sound of it, this box is really mysterious! I should bid on it in case the item inside is extremely rare!”

“I wouldn’t recommend you to do that! The starting bidding price is one billion dollars! It’s not cheap at all! And you didn’t even know what is being stored inside the box! You can’t even make sure that you can unlock the box! I’m afraid you can’t sell it after you buy it!”

“Other might not know what’s inside! But I will know! We will see! There could be some rare treasure inside the box!”

Chapter 817: There Is Something Crazier Than That

At the auction hall.

Powerful people from all around the world started to stream into the auction hall. Earlier, the organizer had arranged the seats for the guests according to their status in society. All the guests needed to do was look for their allocated seats. Those that sat at the front row meant that they were richer than those that sat behind them. In order to avoid any suspicion, Chen Xiaobei asked to put him at the last row near the walkway.

“Hi! Brother! Are you a Chinese from China?”

Suddenly, the man that sat beside him took the initiative to greet Chen Xiaobei. This young man looked Asian with fair skin and had a cheerful disposition. As he spoke in Mandarin, one could guess that he was a Chinese that came from China as well.

“Yes. I am,” Chen Xiaobei said while nodding.

“Damn! I’m glad that we got to met each other! Let me introduce myself! My name is Zhang Xiaoshen!”

The young lad was really excited when he knew that Chen Xiaobei came from China. Immediately, he took the initiative to extend his hand to shake Chen Xiaobei’s.

“I’m Chen Xiaobei.”

By shaking hands with him, both of them were now no longer strangers to each other.

“Woah! Both of us have the word ‘Xiao’ in our name!”

With his sunny personality, a small matter like that was enough to bring him happiness.

*Rumble*

Suddenly, a loud noise could be heard coming from the entrance. Immediately, Chen Xiaobei and Zhang Xiaoshen turned around and looked at the entrance at the same time.

“Hehe… They are finally here!”

Chen Xiaobei grinned. It was as if he was seeing a pile of Spiritual Stones was walking into the auction hall. It turned out someone extremely powerful and wealthy had just arrived. There were four of them in total. In front of them, there were two bodyguards opened the way up for them. Those who blocked their ways slightly would be pushed aside by the bodyguards – making them looked like an arrogant bunch. And behind the bodyguards, there were one man and a woman walking side by side with each other.

The man was very handsome – wearing a black and white patterned kimono. Clearly, this man originated from Japan, – it was Hikawa Okazaka. On the other hand, the beautiful woman with a sakura patterned kimono next to him was his fiancée, Yinmu Binghu.

Of course, Chen Xiaobei had been addressing her as Demonic Fox.

“My friend! I think it’s better for you not to stare at them for too long. You are going to get yourself into trouble!”

Seemingly, Zhang Xiaoshen was a regular visitor here. Immediately, he went and reminded Chen Xiaobei about the thing that he should look out for.

“Who are they?” asked Chen Xiaobei in a curious manner.

Judging from the dominating presence of the bodyguards that walked in front of them, Chen Xiaobei could guess that Hikawa Okazaka was no ordinary person.

“That man over there is a prince in Japan! And that woman over there is going to become his queen in the future! It is considered rude for them if you continue to stare at them!”

“Heh… Do you really think I’m afraid of them?!”

“My brother! Don’t act tough at moments like this! They are the lobsters that are going to sit at the most front row in this auction hall! And we are just two small prawns that sat at the most back row! We have to lay low no matter what! You might be killed if you continue to act tough in front of them!”

“Can you please take our some of your pride as a Chinese? How can you be afraid of those Japanese? Don’t worry! I’m here and I will protect you!” said Chen Xiaobei in a serious manner.

“Hey bastard! Why do you keep looking at me?”

Right after Chen Xiaobei finished his words, Hikari Okazaka started to chastise Chen Xiaobei. After all, Chen Xiaobei was sitting right next to the walkway, once Hikari Okazaka walked into the auction hall, he could see Chen Xiaobei in his first sight.

“Shit…”

“See that? I have advised you earlier but you just refuse to listen to me! You are in big trouble now! Quickly go and apologize to him! If not, things will not end well for you tonight!” said Zhang Xiaoshen nervously.

“Can you stop being so narcissistic? Please. I’m not even looking at you! I’m looking at the goddess that is standing right beside you! Look at her! Such a masterpiece!” said Chen Xiaobei with a smile. It was as if he just filtered out everything that Zhang Xiaoshen just told him.

“I asked you to apologize to him. I didn’t ask you to flirt with his fiancée! You are clearly looking for a good beating!”

Seeing Chen Xiaobei acted exactly opposite what he told him earlier, Zhang Xiaoshen had the urge to bang his head on the wall.

“Son of a bitch! How dare you flirt with my fiancée? It seems like you have lost your will to continue to live on this planet!” Hikari Okazaka said while shooting him a furious glare.

“Hehe… You make it sound like as if you have the guts to kill me here!”

“I…”

Rendered speechless, Hikari Okazaka thought that he could make use of his status and power to make Chen Xiaobei bend to his will. To his surprise, not only Chen Xiaobei was not afraid of him, but also manage to come up with the courage to argue with him. If they were at another place, Hikari Okazaka could kill anyone with a snap of a finger. However, he knew that he was at Focker’s territory, Paradise Island. Causing a ruckus here was equivalent to landing a slap on Focker’s face. Though he could be considered as one of the most valuable guests on the island, he was fully aware that he was not allowed to do so!

“Hikari-san, let’s not get into argument with this useless piece of shit! A lot of people are watching us! Continue to argue with his is going to bring down our status!” said Demonic Fox.

“Right! You are right! My status here on this island is high and mighty! I should not stoop to the level of those sitting at the back row!”

Initially, Hikari Okazaka did not dare to do anything to Chen Xiaobei. Seeing that there was a good step-down for him, he immediately excused himself and left Chen Xiaobei alone. Before he walked away, he glared at Chen Xiaobei. He then told his bodyguards to remember Chen Xiaobei’s face. Once the time was right, he would definitely kill Chen Xiaobei without any hesitation.

“That kid is crazy! Sitting at the back row can only be considered as low-lifes on this island! How dare he goes and challenge the prince of Japan?!”

“That is more than crazy! That is insane!”

“It’s still useless for him to act in such insane manner! No one should ever go against the prince of Japan! Sooner or later, the kid over is going to pay the price for angering him!”

….

Upon witnessing Chen Xiaobei’s encounter, people around him started to comment on him.

“Brother! You are so lucky! I can’t believe that you managed to pull yourself out of situation like that!” said Zhang Xiaoshen with a sigh of relief.

“I manage to pull myself out in a situation like that? Hehe…”

Chen Xiaobei then put on an evil smile and proceeded to use his hand to smack Demonic Fox’s ass. Immediately, she could feel that her voluptuous bottoms were being slapped by someone. Clearly, she knew the one that did it but she chose not to act upon it.

“What… What the f*ck! Bro! You just slapped the ass of the future wife of the prince of Japan! Am I dreaming?”

Taken aback, Zhang Xiaoshen could not help but rub his eyes.

“This is nothing! You have not seen some of the crazier stuff that I did with her!”

“There is… Crazier stuff?”

Zhang Xiaoshen gulped.

He would have never thought that there was actually some dark secrets between Chen Xiaobei and Demonic Fox. Compared to that, slapping her ass was actually nothing.

“I’m gonna say it again! That white jade Ganoderma belongs to me! I will kill those who dare to take it away from me!”

A rough voice that came from the entrance of the door managed to capture Chen Xiaobei’s attention.

Chapter 818: All-Seer from Jianghu

Turning around, Chen Xiaobei saw that a muscular guy with moustache entered the auction hall with a few young men around him.

“Why is Hu Bawan here?” asked Zhang Xiaoshen in a shocking manner.

“Who the hell is that guy?”

“Hu Bawan is the faction leader of the ancient faction of Southern Sea. The name of the ancient faction is Raging Wave Faction! All those young men that walked behind him are his disciples!”

“It seems like you know quite a lot about the state of Jianghu!” said Chen Xiaobei with a smile.

This time, he re-evaluated Zhang Xiaoshen.

“Hehe! Actually I have a title in this Jianghu. Normally, people will call me the Jianghu All-Seer! I know quite a lot about the people and things that are currently happening in Jianghu!”

“All-Seer? Then, do you know Hu Bawan’s wealth? How much is he willing to pay to get the white jade Ganoderma?”

“From what I know, Hu Bawan has prepared almost tens of billions of USD to buy the white jade Ganoderma! Knowing that its medicinal effect could speed up his training, he has eyes on it for quite some time! I’m pretty sure he will pour out everything that he has to get his hands on it!”

“Tens of billions?”

Knowing that there was only around eleven billion in his bank account, Chen Xiaobei knew that all his money would be spent if he decided to fight Hu Bawan. And he would not have enough money to purchase the second item.

“What’s wrong? Brother. Are you thinking of getting the white jade Ganoderma as well? I would advise you to give up the idea right here right now!”

“Other than Hu Bawan, Tidal Faction swears that they want to get their hands on the white jade Ganoderma as well! The woman, Lin Caoyin had announced to everyone that those who try to take the white jade Ganoderma from her is equivalent to declaring war!”

“Oh? Tidal Faction wants to buy the white jade Ganoderma as well?”

Looking at the front direction, Chen Xiaobei saw that Lin Caoyin was with Lin Xiang and Wei Shenjing sitting at the third row of the bidder seats. He narrowed his eyes but smiled at them.

“That’s right! Lin Caoyin’s desire to get the white jade Ganoderma is even stronger than Hu Bawan! Let me give you a friendly reminder. Tidal Faction is one of the ancient faction that is located at the Southern Sea as well! If people like me and you manage to anger her, there will be nowhere for us to run away from her in this world!”

“Heh… I don’t think so…”

“What do you mean by you don’t think so? You are going to mess up big time if you still refuse to listen to me!”

“I did not listen to your advice just now and I turn out fine! Am I right?”

Chen Xiaobei then lifted his hand and sniffed it. A fragrance that was uniquely owned by a woman was still lingering on top of his palm.

“This smells so damn good!”

“This…”

Zhang Xiaoshen was rendered speechless, uncomfortable.

Earlier, he was trying his best to stop Chen Xiaobei from angering Hikari Okazaka. Not only did Chen Xiaobei choose not to listen to him, but he also smacked Demonic Fox’s bottom. The result of Chen Xiaobei not listening to Zhang Xiaoshen had brought him no harm but benefit! Feeling embarrassed, Zhang Xiaoshen quickly changed the topic.

“Look at the entrance! Oh my god! I can’t believe that guy is here as well!”

Looking at the entrance, Chen Xiaobei’s curiosity was piqued.

“You know about the Jianghu in other countries as well?!”

A man with blond hair in crimson robes walked into the auction hall slowly with a follower tailing behind him. He exuded an evil aura. His skin was extremely fair and his eyes were red – looking really spooky.

“I know a thing or two about the Jianghu in other countries as well… If I’m not mistaken, that guy over there should be a blood descendant! He is the newly appointed grand duke of the Deathbane Family in America! His name is Damien Gustav!”

“Gustav? Does he has a grandpa named H?hn Gustav?”

“That’s right! How did you know about that?”

“The death of his grandpa has made it possible for him to become the new grand duke!”

Upon hearing that, Chen Xiaobei felt that something was not right but he could not tell what the thing that made him feel uncomfortable was.

“This is awesome! Hikari Okazaka and Damien are here! Powerful people like them are rarely seen on Paradise Island! I can feel that the auction that is about to start soon is going to be very exciting!”

Seeing that Hikari Okazaka and Damien were sitting at the front row, Zhang Xiaoshen was elated.

“Now, there’s only one last very esteemed guest left! Once he arrives, the auction will officially begin.”

“Who else is coming? What do you mean by very esteemed guest?”

“I don’t know much about that person. The only that I know about the person is a diamond member on this island! In this world, there are only two people holding the diamond membership! One of them is Focker Rothschild’s grandfather! And the other one is the person that I mentioned to you just now!”

“Super diamond member? I don’t think he is coming.”

“Why?”

Zhang Xiaoshen would have never thought that the person that was sitting right next to him was the super diamond member that he mentioned just now. With a smile on his face, Chen Xiaobei had no intention to reveal his true identity to him. That was why he was sitting at the last row of the seats. Suddenly, the doors of the auction hall were closed. And the stage lights were shone at the auction stage.

“The auction is about to begin!”

“It seems like the person is not coming…” said Zhang Xiaoshen in disappointment.

A man in a tuxedo walked to the stage and gave a short speech. Right after that, two sultry ladies brought out a tray with the white jade Ganoderma on it. Looking at its shiny surface, it looked exactly like a white jade sculpture.

“Ladies and gentlemen, this is our first item! A thousand-year-old white jade Ganoderma! Seeing that everyone here is prepared, I’m pretty sure all of you know the medical benefit of this item. So, I’m not going to waste your time by explaining it.”

“Let’s go straight to the things that all of you have been waiting for a long time! The starting bidding price of this item is five million dollars! Every bid that you make cannot be less than ten million dollars!”

“Let the bidding commence!”

Immediately, the crowd was all hyped up.

“I bid ten million!”

“Me! Me! Me! Another thirty million here!”

…

Seemingly, there were a lot of people interested in buying the white jade Ganoderma.

“You guys are so noisy!”

Suddenly, a loud and rough voice overpowered everyone.

“Can you guys stop with the gibberish? I will raise the price to eight billion! Shut up now!”

Upon hearing that, everyone was shocked.

Chapter 819: Can You Give It to Me?

Most of the people in the auction hall would increase the price by ten million each time they made a bid. Nobody would have expected that Hu Bawan would increase the price by another three billion in one single bid.

“Damn! Who the hell is that person? He is just too damn arrogant!”

“You are right! Now, the price of the white jade Ganoderma has jumped from five billion to eight billion!”

“If I’m not mistaken, that person should be the leader of some ancient faction!”

“Ancient faction? No wonder he has so much money with him! Considering that most of the ancient factions have accumulated their wealth since hundreds of years ago, there was no way that an ordinary person could compete with them.”

“It seems like he is going to get his hands on the thousand-year-old white jade Ganoderma!”

“You are right…”

Most of the people in the hall had lost the desire to acquire the white jade Ganoderma. Considering that the requirement to step foot on the Paradise Island was to have one billion dollars in one’s bank account, most of the people on the island were definitely not wealthy enough to be compared to an ancient faction. Also people like Pikaka and Focker were the kind of people that they could never dream of becoming. Only a handful of people on the island could increase every single bid by billions!

“Auctioneer! I don’t think there is anyone in this hall can compete with me! Just sell it to me! Don’t waste my time!”

Feeling impatient, Hu Bawan was causing an uproar. Clearly, he could not wait to jump on the stage and get his hands on the thousand-year-old white jade Ganoderma.

“Hold on! Hu Bawan! Do you really think my existence does not matter to you?! I will increase the bidding price to 8.3 billion!”
