Chapter 236: My Mistake

While the astonished cultivators watched, Hao Ren left with Lu Linlin and Lu Lili and merged with the crowd at the Trading Convention.

“Linlin, how many Spirit Stones are left?” Hao Ren turned his head and asked Lu Linlin.

“We still have over 50 mid-tier Spirit Stones. Do you want to buy elixirs or dharma treasures?” Lu Linlin asked.

Since such Trading Conventions were unofficial events organized by cultivators, the objects at the event were not very rare. Lu Linlin had brought 100 mid-tier Spirit Stones to buy some elixir pills for Little White to help it improve its cultivation strength.

“I want to buy beads of wood, fire, and earth to match the gold and water beads on my necklace,” Hao Ren said.

“That’s easy. I think I’ve seen some of them somewhere here!” Lu Lili had been observing the objects of each booth, and she immediately took Hao Ren to three booths to buy the beads.

The payment for three beads was only half a mid-tier Spirit Stone. If Hao Ren had to collect them by himself, it would take him forever. But at the Trading Convention, he bought them with great ease.

Attaching the newly bought beads to the necklace, he now had a five-elemental necklace.

Through the necklace, Hao Ren felt the five beads were interacting with each other and forming a cycle, helping him absorb the five-elemental essence from nature.

This process would greatly help Hao Ren’s cultivation of the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll. While the dragon core in his body was an internal monitor of five elemental essences, the five-elemental necklace was an external adjustor to balance the five elements by small amounts.

Having bought food for Little White and three beads for himself, Hao Ren was satisfied with this trip.

He bought a flexible ‘Dragon Leash’ for 120 low-tier Spirit Stones. Taking off the little bell Lu Linlin and Lu Lili gave him, he attached the bell to the Dragon Leash before putting the leash around Little White’s neck.

Little White looked quite cute with the golden bell on its snow-white fur. The special flexibility of the Dragon Leash made sure the leash wouldn’t break even when Little White changed into a bigger size.

Since Little White followed Hao Ren everywhere, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili could still find Hao Ren’s location with the bell. However, with the bell attached on Little White’s neck, he didn’t have to worry about Lu Linlin and Lu Lili suddenly appearing while he is taking a shower.

“Ruff! Ruff!” Little White in Hao Ren’s arms suddenly started making noises.

It wriggled its rump while nudging Hao Ren’s arm with its mouth.

After some time with Little White, Hao Ren was familiar with its signals. With its wriggling rump, it told him it wanted to go to the bathroom!

Immediately he let it go. Little White jumped to the ground and rushed out of the Trading Convention. The jingling golden bell was dazzling on its white fur.

The little creature had to choose this moment to go to the bathroom on the territory of the cultivating sects.

Resigned, Hao Ren followed it with Lu Linlin and Lu Lili who covered their giggles with their hands.

Without the illumination of the stone columns, the spot Little White chose for its bathroom was quite dim. The small body of Little White hid in a cluster of grass and was busy doing its business.

“Hahahaha!” Suddenly, laughter came from behind them.

They turned and found six male cultivators in different robes had surrounded them in a half circle.

This spot was in the wilderness, blocked by a massive boulder from the venue of the Trading Convention. Hao Ren knew that he and the Lu sisters had been followed ever since they bought the elixirs!

Three Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, two of whom were beautiful girls, had casually taken out over 40 mid-tier Spirit Stones and were careless with the prices when they purchased things… Naturally, their fortune and the Lu sisters’ beauty had caught the thugs’ eye.

The lowest level of the cultivators attending the Trading Convention was Foundation Establishment Realm. Among the six robbers, three were in mid-tier Foundation Establishment Realm while the others were in the top-tier!

Hao Ren was now at the Li-level which was the equivalent to mid-tier Foundation Establishment Realm while Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were only at low-tier Foundation Establishment Realm!

The difference of the strengths of the two sides was quite evident. Even with the spirit beast which had not reached even the first level, Hao Ren and the Lu sisters were no match for them in strength!

“Little White! Are you done?” Hao Ren turned his head and asked in a low voice.

Swaying its little rump, Little White trotted to him from the cluster of grass. When it found Hao Ren was surrounded, it immediately changed into a magnificent spirit beast of one meter tall, growling.

Without hesitation, the six men threw their dharma treasures at them!

Little White roared with rage and dashed toward the dharma treasures fearlessly!

“Little White! Come back!” Hao Ren beckoned at Little White before taking out a long spear from his hidden space.

Dragon Gold Spear!

The long spear grew longer in the air.

The silver body immediately turned into a dazzling gold color.

“They indeed have powerful dharma treasures!” One of the six robbers yelled, and they combined the power of their dharma treasures to block Hao Ren’s gold spear!

The six of them came together to rob Hao Ren and the Lu sisters, fearing the rich fellow would have powerful defense dharma treasures with him.

They were sure his powerful dharma treasures would become part of the loot.

Clang! Clang… The gold spear collided with the six dharma treasures and bounced them off. But the gold spear couldn’t stop its momentum and shot into the ground!

“This fellow doesn’t know how to handle dharma treasures! Let’s go get him!” The leader of the gang shouted.

However, they were sadly mistaken. The reason Hao Ren was not good at using the dharma treasure was that he had never used it. He threw out the gold spear to stop them from attacking Little White.

“Linlin, Lili, you stay behind!” Hao Ren ordered before shooting out two beams of sword energy from his fingers.

Since he began cultivating, he had never engaged in a real fight, and he had not tried the power of the sword array formation!

“Five-elemental sword energy? Trivia technique!” They blocked Hao Ren’s two sword energies with dharma treasures and moved forward in a half circle when they saw a huge fire loop was crashing toward them.

The fire array formation!

It was made up of 16 fire-elemental sword energies.

If they were trapped by it, they would be severely burned.

Array formations could trap strong enemies inside and defeat them.

Swoosh!

A dense rain of sword energies shot toward them from high up in the sky!

Each group containing 16 gold-elemental sword energy, and there were three groups, forming the gold-elemental sword array formation.

The seemingly random sword energies were, in fact, interacting with each other and strengthening each other. This was the power of sword array formation!

Three mid-tier and three top-tier cultivators of the Foundation Establishment Realm were stunned by the sword array formation falling from the sky.

“We were wrong! He’s a cultivator of the Core Formation Realm! Let’s go!” The leader threw out a white gong before fleeing.

Dong! Dong! Dong…

The dense golden sword energy beams shot into the gong and turned it into a sieve.

The difference between the Core Formation Realm and the Foundation Establishment Realm was drastic. In the Core Formation Realm, the cultivators could use advanced dharma treasures and advanced cultivation techniques!

Even six Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators didn’t dare to mess with one cultivator of the Core Formation Realm!

In fact, Hao Ren’s cultivation strength was indeed at the Li Level which was the equivalent of the Foundation Establishment Realm. However, Hao Ren’s powerful sword array formation made them think he was a cultivator of the Core Formation Realm which was the equivalent of Zhen-level!

When the sword array formation was unleashed, the sky dimmed with its power!

After all, the sword array formation was like any other array formations which borrowed the Nature Essence instead of drawing on the strength of the cultivator.

The six cultivators of the Foundation Establishment Realm were scrambling to escape when Lu Linlin and Lu Lili, standing beside Hao Ren, suddenly released an overwhelming suppression!

“Nascent Soul Realm cultivators!” Their legs became jelly instantly.

On this low-level Trading Convention, they should have encountered not only a disguised cultivator of the Core Formation Realm but two masters of the Nascent Soul Realm!

Without thinking, they dropped to the ground and kowtowed to Hao Ren, and the Lu sisters and two of them even wetted their pants with fear!

They were asking for death to rob a cultivator of the Core Formation Realm! It was even worse as they had planned to rape two masters of the Nascent Soul Realm!

A master of Nascent Soul Realm could kill the six of them with only one finger! In the whole Fifth Heaven, there were only four masters of the Nascent Soul Realm!

The four masters of the Nascent Soul Realm were leading the four most powerful cultivation sects in Fifth Heaven.

When blood began to ooze from their foreheads due to their repeated kowtowing, they found their heads were still attached to their bodies. Shakily, they lifted their heads slightly and saw that the young man, two beauties, and the spirit beast were gone.

“Boss, are you ok?” A man in a grey cotton robe helped their frightened leader up.

The leader had blood all over his face. Looking at his dharma treasure on the ground, he found it had lost all its Nature Essence.

It was throwing good money after bad. He wiped the blood off his face and gritted his teeth.

As a cultivator of the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, he was a half master in the Fifth Heaven. But today he was defeated so pathetically and had almost lost his life!

“Let’s go!” Picking up the damaged dharma treasure, the leader got his breath back before leading his gang back into the Trading Convention.

“Boss, there’s a girl on level 1 Qi Refinement Realm!” With two teeth gone, one of his subordinates pointed at one spot in the Trading Convention and reported.

“She dares to come here without reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm! Damn! Let’s rob her!” The leader spat out a mouthful of bloodied spit before taking his gang to the direction of the girl.

They had taken only five steps when a surge of suffocating suppression pushed at them from the sky.

Another master of the Nascent Soul Realm… Their well-beaten bodies dropped to the ground without any resistance.

“Yujia, look around and purchase whatever catches your eye,” the Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator told the girl.
