Mo Tianxiao looked at Scarface and Shorty.
Both of their cultivation levels were at the Void Refinement Realm; one was at the late stage, and the other at the middle stage.
As for Yun Sangyi and that Fatty Wang, their superficial cultivation was only at the late Profound Comprehension Realm. They looked like young masters and misses from some wealthy family coming out to broaden their horizons.
"Alright, then... I'll leave it to you two."
Mo Tianxiao fell silent for a moment before taking out two hundred thousand spirit stones and tossing them to the two.
These two scoundrels dared to scam him out of two hundred thousand spirit stones right off the bat; they really had some nerve.
Receiving the spirit stones, a hint of joy appeared on their faces, and their gazes toward Mo Tianxiao gained a bit of surprise and gentleness.
"You know the rules, kid."
Handing over two hundred thousand without bargaining—they loved country bumpkins like him.
"Welcome to our group, young master. May I ask your name?"
Yun Sangyi's willow eyebrows raised slightly, carrying an imperceptible trace of joy as her voice slowly rang out.
Hearing this, Mo Tianxiao raised his head and replied, "Rogue cultivator, Ye Chen."
Mo Tianxiao was wearing the quasi-saint artifact, the Thousand Illusions Holy Garment, which he had snatched from Huangfu Yunteng. Aside from its golden robe form, it could freely transform into other styles of clothing. Not only that, but this quasi-saint artifact also had the function of concealing one's cultivation.
Except for experts in the Saint Realm, ordinary cultivators could not see through his cultivation.
In the eyes of Scarface and Shorty, he was nothing more than a late-stage Deity Transformation cultivator, clearly a rookie at first glance.
"Just call me Scarface, a professional treasure hunter."
"Shorty."
Scarface and Shorty did not state their real names, only casually giving a codename, which fit their images quite well.
As for Fatty Wang, he straightened his clothes, his expression carrying a bit of arrogance, and said with an indifferent look, "The Wang family of Falling Cloud City, Wang Fugui."
The factions in Falling Cloud City were intricate and complex, among which the Wang family was the strongest, acting as the agent for the Floating Cloud Chamber of Commerce in the city.
Simply put, he was the young boss of this flying ship.
"So it is Young Master Wang, I have long looked forward to meeting you. I have long heard of your prestigious name, and seeing you today, you are indeed extraordinary and strikingly handsome!"
Hearing Wang Fugui's self-introduction, Mo Tianxiao immediately stood up, his gaze holding a trace of admiration, making him appear incredibly respectful.
Although he didn't know how much ability this Wang Fugui actually had, one glance at the group made it clear that he was the leader. Might as well bombard him with flattery first.
"Hahahaha, I like the way you talk, Brother Ye. Since you've joined my team, you naturally don't need to worry about your safety."
Wang Fugui quite enjoyed Mo Tianxiao's flattery, a satisfied expression appearing on his face as he boasted that he would protect his safety during this trip to the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
In fact, he did have this ability; after all, almost all the thugs on this flying ship belonged to his Wang family.
"Hahahaha, then I will be relying on Young Master Wang."
Mo Tianxiao replied with a chuckle, his expression very respectful.
Meanwhile, Yun Sangyi beside them seemed a bit displeased, her small mouth pouting slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with Mo Tianxiao being so enthusiastic toward Wang Fugui.
He had clearly been so cold to her earlier, yet now he was so enthusiastic toward a man. Could it be that a great beauty like her was less attractive than a fat guy?
However, the look of dissatisfaction only flashed by and did not attract anyone else's attention.
The other treasure hunters around would occasionally glance at Yun Sangyi, sometimes revealing a lustful look, but they did not dare to go any further.
Although they didn't know this Fairy Yun's background, since she was in Young Master Wang's team, she was an existence that these treasure hunters could not covet.
At the same time, the surrounding cultivators felt very envious of Mo Tianxiao's situation. For a mere Deity Transformation cultivator to actually join Young Master Wang's team, his luck was simply too good.
It was well known that heading to the Hundred Thousand Mountains was fraught with danger. Ordinary cultivators only dared to wander around the outer periphery, and only the truly powerful dared to venture into the inner regions.
As for Wang Fugui, although his own strength was average, he possessed various magical treasures and talismans. Even if he encountered a Primordial Spirit Realm demonic beast, he would have nothing to fear.
Besides that, if he truly encountered danger, the bodyguards on the flying ship would immediately rush to his rescue.
This also meant that Wang Fugui's team could at least head into the inner regions of the Hundred Thousand Mountains to search for better and older heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Not long after, the flying ship, fully loaded with treasure-hunting cultivators, started its journey toward the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
This flying ship was naturally not the Cloud-Piercing Shuttle, which was comparable to a saint artifact, but merely an imitation of it. Still, it could rival ordinary Dao artifact magical treasures.
Its speed was very fast; in at most half a month, it could cross the Chaotic Star Sea and arrive at the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
"May I ask where Young Master Ye comes from?"
A crisp and cool voice, like a trickling stream, slowly rang out. Yun Sangyi's bright phoenix eyes curved into a beautiful arc as she looked at Mo Tianxiao and asked.
Mo Tianxiao leaned against the side of the flying ship, looking down at the endless Chaotic Star Sea below, and casually replied:
"I come from a remote town in the Eastern Region and plan to travel the world. I heard that the Hundred Thousand Mountains have all sorts of rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures, so I came to try my luck."
"Travel the world? Young Master Ye has great ambition."
A touch of admiration appeared in Yun Sangyi's eyes. "If you want to travel across the entire Black Yellow Realm, I'm afraid it won't be completed without several thousand years."
"Take it slowly. One day, I'll be able to walk all over this world and treat it as cultivation."
Yun Sangyi was not wrong. The Black Yellow Realm was incredibly vast. Even though he had grown up in the Demon Sect since he was a child, over several decades, he still hadn't visited every corner of the Demon State.
Having stayed in the Eastern Region for a few years, it seemed like he had been to many places, but in reality, he hadn't even covered a tenth of the region's territory.
"I say, Brother Ye, what's so good about traveling the world? It's better to stay in Falling Cloud City and become a full-time treasure hunter. This is much more fun than traveling the world."
Seeing Yun Sangyi and Mo Tianxiao chatting so passionately, Wang Fugui couldn't help but interject.
Patting his somewhat round belly, Wang Fugui looked at Mo Tianxiao and started to show off, "Treasure hunting is not only exciting and fun, but it can also make money. Take this flying ship, for example. Just from collecting registration fees, one trip can bring in hundreds of millions of spirit stones."
"Setting aside the costs, the profit from each trip is enough for an ordinary cultivator to squander for a lifetime."
"If you're lucky and find rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, you can make an absolute fortune. This is much better than aimlessly wandering around everywhere."
His words carried an innate arrogance.
Wang Fugui inadvertently displaying his wealth made Scarface and Shorty green with envy.
The flying ships in Falling Cloud City were all properties managed by the Wang family. Aside from what was handed over to the Floating Cloud Chamber of Commerce, almost all the rest fell into the Wang family's pockets.
The Wang family of Falling Cloud City was even richer than some ordinary major factions, and that was no joke.
And Falling Cloud City was merely one of the Floating Cloud Chamber of Commerce's properties. From this, one could imagine just how wealthy the entire Floating Cloud Chamber of Commerce was; saying they were filthy rich would not be an exaggeration.
Some people were born in Rome, while others were born as beasts of burden. This saying was perfectly demonstrated by Wang Fugui.
"Hahahaha, Young Master Wang is right. If Young Master Wang doesn't mind, then I will follow you from now on."
A smile emerged on Mo Tianxiao's face, and the flattery in his tone made Wang Fugui feel immensely pleased.
He glanced at Yun Sangyi, who still maintained her smile and remained completely unmoved. A hint of confusion flickered in his eyes. Could it be that even with all his immense wealth, he still couldn't impress this fairy maiden?
e vast world of cultivation, where he becomes the master of the Heavenly Ruins Sacred Hall, a dying old man with barely a tenth of his former cultivation remaining. He is immediately confronted with a deadly crisis: his subordinates have rebelled, and his protectors are forcing him to abdicate. At the critical moment, the system descends from the heavens: [Ding! The host has been detected facing a life-or-death crisis. The system is now officially activated!] [As a gift, you have received the Supreme Beginner’s Pack and awakened the ultimate cheat: ten thousand years of pure cultivation essence every second!] Yin Tianjue: “Wait… ten thousand years of cultivation every second? That’s six hundred thousand years a minute, and in one day… I can’t even calculate it. Either way, I’m already invincible!” You’re a peerless prodigy rarely seen in ten thousand years? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. You’re an undying ancestor who has guarded a sacred land for countless ages? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. You’re the strongest chosen one, blessed with heaven-defying destiny? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. From this day forth, I have only one thing to say: “I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. Now, how exactly are you supposed to deal with that?”
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ... [The Eldest Princess's Diary] [When my soul was extracted, becoming the sole spectator outside my own shell] [At first, there was overwhelming fury, until I saw] [How he used my sword to effortlessly shatter my inescapable doom] [How he wielded my authority to eradicate fatal conspiracies I had never even detected] [Like a deity, he rescued me from the deep mire I was trapped in] [If not for those annoying vixens, he and I would be a match made in heaven] [I think I am ill, gravely ill] [My deity should belong to me alone] ... "Hypnosis? Oh, it succeeded, my dear Master." "Only this time, it's my turn to hypnotize you."
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
