CHAPTER 282: XIAO WEIMIN AND GROUP

While Zhen Yuan, Shen Xu, and the others were waiting for the underwater volcano to erupt, Xiao Weimin exhaled a turbid breath and opened his eyes.

’My cultivation is initially stable but I still need to find a body refining holy ground.’ He thought.

At the same time, he looked around him and nodded in satisfaction.

He caught the sect master’s eye after joining the Hanging Garden sect.

As a result, the sect master arranged a marriage between him and one of his daughters.

The daughter was called Zhao Chenhua and she was now his third wife.

Later, after entering the Yunshan secret realm, Xiao Weimin met Ouyang Ling and married her as his fourth wife.

’They are all in the early stage of the void refining realm.’ Xiao Weimin observed with a satisfied smile.

Soon after, he gazed across the cave and saw Zhu Huang.

Zhu Huang was also his person.

However, their relationship was complicated and involved a lot of moving parts.

Like him, Zhu Huang had several partners.

At the moment, he had Song Wandong, a young master of Tianqi continent’s Myriad Treasures Pavilion and Ouyang Feng, Ouyang Ling’s older brother.

Although Xiao Weimin and Zhu Huang often slept together, their interests weren’t completely aligned; hence, their relationship was more about interests than emotions.

Now, like him, Zhu Huang was in the mid-stage of the void refining realm while his partners were in the early stage.

"The gravity valley is only a few kilometres ahead." Zhu Huang said with a thoughtful expression.

"Do we really want to refine our bodies at this time?" Lin Mengmeng asked and everyone turned to look at her.

"There is only a little more than one hundred years until the secret realm closes. Isn’t it better to search for resources and refine our bodies after we go out?"

"Sister Mengmeng has a point." Zhao Chenhua said and quickly continued.

"Our cultivation is initially stable and we are not at risk of losing our realm. I think it’s better to search for resources in the remaining time."

"There are three or four body refining holy grounds in the Tianqi continent that are suitable for void refining realm cultivators." Song Wandong added and Ouyang Ling nodded.

"The same is true for the Tianxuan continent." She said.

Hearing this, Xiao Weimin and Zhu Huang exchanged a glance and nodded.

They were not in a hurry to advance since they had just broken through.

Considering this, they decided to follow the others’ suggestion and continue looking for resources over the next hundred years.

After that, the group left the cave and headed south.

However, after walking less than two kilometres, they encountered a group of three.

Generally, in such an encounter, the weaker party would try to escape to avoid the stronger party.

This time was no different.

As soon as the group of three saw Xiao Weimin’s group, they turned around and prepared to escape.

Unfortunately, Xiao Weimin didn’t let them.

"Wait." He shouted.

At the same time, he released his qi pressure, suppressing the three so badly that they couldn’t run away.

"Does the senior need something from us?" One of the three asked through gritted teeth.

"Repeat what you just said." Xiao Weimin ordered and the three shuddered.

’It seems our luck is out.’ One of the three thought with a bitter expression.

They had been running around in the secret realm for almost four hundred years.

During that time, they encountered many people; some of them robbers and murderers, but they managed to escape every time.

However, looking at the situation, they felt their luck had finally run out.

’I hope they give us a quick death.’ The leader sighed but his eyes firmed a little.

"Does the senior need something from us?" He repeated his words but Xiao Weimin frowned.

"Not that. What you said before."

"What I said..." The leader frowned but soon nodded.

"Is the senior asking about the longevity pills?" He asked and Xiao Weimin nodded before questioning.

"Is someone really selling longevity pills in the secret realm? That person is called Alchemist Shen?"

"I haven’t seen it for myself but many people are talking about it." The man said and began explaining.

From the three, Xiao Weimin and his group learned about the Island, longevity pills, and other treasures.

However, the three didn’t know where alchemist Shen and his group went after leaving the island.

After learning what he wanted, Xiao Weimin let the three go and turned to his group.

"What do you think?" He asked, looking at Zhu Huang.

"The description fits Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan. Also, Shen Xu is a genius alchemist. It’s not impossible for him to refine high-grade, top-grade, and perfect grade longevity pills."

"I think so too." Xiao Weimin nodded, his eyes narrowed into slits.

When they were in the Canglan continent, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan grabbed a lot of longevity fruits in the Demon Plants’ Forest.

Thinking of this, Xiao Weimin felt it was not impossible for Shen Xu to refine and sell a few bottles of longevity pills.

"It’s said they sold thousands of longevity pills but that is likely an exaggeration."

"I think so too. Thousands of longevity pills would require thousands of longevity fruits or stalks of longevity grass. Who can have so many?"

"Either way, that group of people have collected many treasures. Should we try to find them? Song Wandong asked and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes.

Seeing this, Zhu Huang shook his head.

"Don’t underestimate those two. They are not ordinary cultivators." He warned.

"Huang’er, do you know them well?" Ouyang Feng asked and Zhu Huang nodded before shaking his head.

To this day, the system was still helpless against Zhen Yuan and the information on Shen Xu had not changed since the Canglan continent.

No matter how he thought about it, Zhu Huang felt Shen Xu and especially Zhen Yuan were not enemies he wanted to make.

Rather than enemies, he wanted to make Zhen Yuan his and leave Shen Xu to Xiao Weimin.

’If only wishes were horses.’ He thought with a wistful expression.
