Chapter 283: An Unexpected Surprise

That day, the middle-aged man communicated with Master Qingfeng using the communication token outside the small world for most of the day.

With Master Qingfeng’s explanations, the middle-aged man began to believe the truth of this matter.

Next, the middle-aged man relayed this news to the Elders’ Council of the Human Race.

Upon hearing that a Golden Immortal had emerged from the Human Race, many people initially speculated whether a member from the late Profound Immortal stage had broken through.

However, after learning that the Golden Immortal was not a member of the Elders’ Council, everyone became somewhat skeptical.

Yet, after Master Qingfeng explained further, everyone chose to believe, albeit tentatively.

“Master Qingfeng, if what you’re saying is true, could you please ask your disciple’s father to lead our Human Race…”

“No, my disciple’s father said he does not wish to be the leader of the Human Race,” Master Qingfeng directly refused.

She knew Li Xiaojun kept his promises.

Finally, Master Qingfeng transmitted to everyone, “Everyone, if you want to buy slaves from the Heavenly Tiger Tribe or the small world, I can help you communicate with them…

By the way, my disciple’s father said he only wants high-quality immortal essence stones…”

“High-quality immortal essence stones? Where can we get those? The immortal essence stone veins in the entire Immortal Realm are controlled by the beast tribe…”

……

“Dad, my master said the Elders’ Council can’t produce high-quality immortal essence stones and that those are all controlled by the beast tribe…” Li Yufei communicated to Li Xiaojun.

“Then ask your master to see if she can inquire with others to find out if anyone knows the locations of the beast tribe’s high-quality immortal essence stone veins,” Li Xiaojun replied to his daughter.

He hadn’t expected that the powerhouses of the Human Race could not obtain high-quality immortal essence stones.

But thinking it over, he understood.

High-quality immortal essence stones contained an aura of laws that could help those in the Profound Immortal realm comprehend the laws.

With high-quality immortal essence stones for cultivation, the probability of breaking through to the Golden Immortal Realm would increase.

Thus, the beast tribe would never allow the Human Race to access high-quality immortal essence stone veins.

If a Golden Immortal were to emerge from the Human Race, given the enmity between the Human Race and the beast tribe, it would spell a catastrophic disaster for the beast tribe.

Hearing that the powerhouses of the Human Race did not have high-quality immortal essence stones, Li Xiaojun lost interest in the transaction with the Elders’ Council.

However, the Elders’ Council had survived in the Immortal Realm for countless years, so perhaps they knew the locations of the beast tribe’s high-quality immortal essence stone veins.

Soon, Li Xiaojun’s questions were passed on by Li Yufei to Wen Qinglan, who then inquired with others in the Elders’ Council.

“I know of a high-quality immortal essence stone vein belonging to the Flood Dragon Tribe…”

“I also know the location of a high-quality immortal essence stone vein controlled by the Qingzhi Tribe…”

“I know of another high-quality immortal essence stone vein…”

When it came to high-quality immortal essence stone veins, the members of the Elders’ Council indeed knew several places.

These immortal essence stone veins were mostly controlled by the ten major beast tribes in the Immortal Realm.

Soon, Wen Qinglan relayed the information she had gathered from the Elders’ Council to Li Xiaojun.

Hearing that the Elders’ Council actually knew the locations of various beast tribe high-quality immortal essence stone veins, Li Xiaojun was instantly filled with joy.

He didn’t expect that just a casual question would lead to so much information.

“Fi Fei, ask your master if the Elders’ Council of the Human Race can sell me the locations of the high-quality immortal essence stone veins,” Li Xiaojun said to Li Yufei.

A few minutes later, Li Yufei spoke again, “Dad, my master said she asked the people from the Elders’ Council, and they are willing to tell you the locations of the high-quality immortal essence stone veins for free.”

Hearing this, Li Xiaojun felt very happy.

This made him have a favorable impression of the people from the Elders’ Council of the Human Race.

Since the Elders’ Council was willing to provide this information for free, he didn’t consider himself ungrateful.

“Tell your master I’m willing to give this small world and the captives from the Heavenly Tiger Tribe inside it to the Elders’ Council for free. Have her prepare to accept it,” Li Xiaojun said to his daughter.

Buying the small world and the captives would definitely require a lot of effort.

Instead, he might as well quickly deal with the small world and then go to mine the high-quality immortal essence stone veins.

The high-quality immortal essence stone veins were far more valuable than what was in that small world.

Although the people in the Elders’ Council of the Human Race might think the locations of several high-quality immortal essence stone veins had no value because they were controlled by the beast tribe, for Li Xiaojun, they were worth a fortune.

A few months later, Li Xiaojun saw Master Qingfeng, Wen Qinglan, again.

When Wen Qinglan saw Li Xiaojun again, her gaze was very complex.

“This small world and the captives from the Heavenly Tiger Tribe belong to you now. What about the locations of the high-quality immortal essence stone veins I wanted?” Li Xiaojun asked Wen Qinglan.

“This is a three-dimensional map of the entire Immortal Realm; the locations of four high-quality immortal essence stone veins are marked on it,” Wen Qinglan handed Li Xiaojun a crystal ball-like object.

Li Xiaojun took the crystal ball and began to inspect it with his divine sense.

In the next moment, a complex star map appeared in Li Xiaojun’s divine sense perception.

While Li Xiaojun was examining the star map, a star map also appeared on his system map, which marked his current location.

“Hmm?”

Li Xiaojun noticed the anomaly in the system map.

He didn’t expect that just by looking at the star map, the system would imprint it onto his system map.

Feeling the system map, Li Xiaojun soon discovered that the imprinted map was not a real map.

The system’s real map was an expanded version of the places he had visited and observed with his divine sense.

If enemies appeared on the map he had created himself, the system would mark them.

However, the just imprinted star map served only as a reference.

On this reference map, there would be no markings for targets hostile to Li Xiaojun.

Nevertheless, the system map having this function delighted Li Xiaojun. With this, he wouldn’t need to worry about getting lost wherever he went.

“Take this small world back; I need to go.”

After Li Xiaojun obtained the locations of the high-quality immortal essence stone veins, he didn’t want to wait even a moment longer.

After bidding farewell to Wen Qinglan, he flew directly to the nearest location of the high-quality immortal essence stone veins.

After breaking through to the Golden Immortal stage, Li Xiaojun’s speed reached 640 times the speed of light.

With an eleven percent comprehension of the rule of space, his flying speed increased by more than double, reaching over one thousand three hundred times the speed of light.

At this speed, he could travel over one thousand three hundred light years in a year.

With this flying speed, he could cross from one side of the Milky Way to the other in just over one hundred years.

However, Li Xiaojun still found this speed somewhat slow.

So, he looked at his cultivation points—one hundred ninety trillion.

This was the amount of cultivation points he had saved for several years.

He hadn’t increased his comprehension of the rule of space since it had reached eleven percent because after ten percent, the amount of cultivation points needed for each additional percent doubled, reaching twenty trillion.

But now, Li Xiaojun earned over one hundred billion cultivation points every day, so he could raise his rule of space again.

Next, Li Xiaojun spent one hundred eighty trillion cultivation points to increase his comprehension of the rule of space to twenty percent.

Once he raised the rule of space to twenty percent, his flying speed tripled, reaching nearly two thousand times the speed of light.

A few months later, Li Xiaojun arrived at the nearest high-quality immortal essence stone vein controlled by the beast tribe.
