Chapter 48: Rare Medicinal Materials

Tang Xinying turned around and saw this scene, her face instantly flushing red.

Li Cuiping struggled desperately, only to find that Zhang Shaojie possessed extraordinary strength and could not be pushed away at all. "Young Master Zhang, what... what are you doing?" Wang Jianan cried out in astonishment.

"A true thunder cultivator is probably even purer than Fengleizi from over twenty thousand years ago." The cultivators of the Wind and Thunder Valley did not deny this point.

The six of them had already firmly established themselves in the Central Prefecture's cultivation world, and what they needed was low-profile development to avoid being too ostentatious and having their secrets uncovered. This discussion was meant for comprehensive consideration of the potential impacts such actions might bring.

"Alright, two tier-three warriors, one tier-two mage, and a golden eagle should easily be a match!" Huo Lei breathed a secret sigh of relief. In truth, he knew very well that the red-haired siblings would not willingly submit to others; he had simply used this method to probe the strength levels of the others after learning Green's magic rank.

Training in the Mount Shu Sect, one was bound to forge a magic artifact upon reaching a certain stage of cultivation, or acquire one through some other means. In short, by hook or by crook, one simply had to possess one. For without it, your cultivation could progress no further.

Meng Xiongfei sat in the posture of the five centers facing the heavens, closed his eyes to regulate his breathing, and guided his breath into tranquility. Within moments, he entered a meditative state. First, he fully replenished his slightly depleted true qi, and then condensed and nourished a strand of Bing-Ding true fire sword qi within his dantian, before slowly beginning to recover his heavily expended spiritual energy.

Yet the infernal flames seemed endless. Locke could hear the laughter of the dreadlord not far away, along with a growing number of hellfire meteors crashing down across the Tirisfal Glades.

Upon reflection later, he still harbored a shred of wishful thinking, assuming there was either something wrong with that wild boar or that he simply hadn't cleaned it properly. But later on, he tested it with rabbits, muntjacs, goats, and more, washing them thoroughly before roasting, yet the result remained the same. In the end, he had no choice but to give up in resignation, feeling depressed about it for several days.

Hearing about the treasure gave everyone's spirits another boost. Li Aichuan took the lead, stepping into the passage opened by Jedi.

Ye Liangchen was somewhat speechless, blaming himself for being too naive and imagining everything to be so rosy, never expecting that even five thousand yuan would be a struggle for Gao Kui.

A span of time equivalent to the burning of an incense stick later, he returned to the Dali Temple prison, arriving just in time for breakfast. The four inmates in the cell desperately thrust their wooden bowls through the gaps in the iron bars to receive their portions of rice porridge.

Hearing this, Liu Xu couldn't help but let out a smile, then gestured with his chin toward the judges' panel and said.

Then came the most exciting part: Fang Qing dodging the giant insect's attacks, coupled with his flying sword assaulting the creature, which constituted the absolute peak of the preceding plot. Especially at the exact moment the flying sword streaked through the air, a remarkably stirring piece of music was deliberately cued, causing even He Dan to sit up straight in excitement.

In the East, however, there is a much greater emphasis on acquired learning. Although China spoke of the divine right of kings for thousands of years, people knew from the very beginning: "Are kings and nobles, generals and ministers, made of a different mold?" Following the profound national humiliations of modern times, China placed an extraordinary emphasis on education, granting nearly everyone the opportunity to change their own destiny.

With money in hand, Liu Shuo began to act lavishly, directly acquiring Digital Domain for a total of eight hundred million US dollars while also assuming the company's debts. In truth, Digital Domain's debt was not exceptionally large, totaling only fifty-one million US dollars, but the interest was exorbitant, threatening to drag down the company's finances immediately.

The interior game goes without saying, and on the perimeter, their offense relied primarily on Kobe, while their defense also depended largely on Kobe. By contrast, the Knicks' primary offensive weapon on the perimeter was Houston, allowing McGrady to focus more heavily on the defensive end.
