Splash!
Cool water spray splashed on his face.
Ye Qingfeng took a deep breath.
"Unbelievable."
Ye Qingfeng grasped the bead engraved with a five-clawed golden dragon on his chest, with the word 'Devour' also carved on it, and couldn't help but sigh.
Under the Nine Tribulation Divine Thunder, his mortal life faded away.
Everything dissipated, yet this bead stayed with him.
"What exactly is this thing!"
Holding the bead, Ye Qingfeng's eyes were filled with confusion.
He obtained this bead from an Immortal Mansion in some ruins.
Even then, with his divine power reaching the heavens, he couldn't figure out the origin and use of this bead.
At this moment, Ye Qingfeng once again tried to channel a strand of spiritual power into the bead.
"Hiss!"
Instantly, a sense of connection between his heart and soul linked Ye Qingfeng with the bead.
Simultaneously, this strange bead seemed to merge into his flesh and blood.
In an instant, a circular pattern appeared on his chest, which seemed to trap a five-clawed golden dragon writhing within.
"How could it be so smooth."
Ye Qingfeng was a bit stunned too.
When he obtained this bead in the Cultivation World.
He tried many times in vain.
Unexpectedly, after rebirth, it was so smooth.
"Manifest!"
Ye Qingfeng sighed softly.
The imprint on his chest seemed to transform into a bead, landing in his hand.
"So miraculous."
Even as the Nine Tribulations Immortal Venerable, he couldn't help but marvel at the bead's ability to appear and disappear in an instant.
"I'll call you Devouring Sky Pearl!"
Ye Qingfeng muttered as he looked at the inscription on the bead.
Then, with a thought, the Devouring Sky Pearl turned into the Trapped Dragon Diagram, imprinting on his chest.
"Great Nirvana Period, huh!"
Ye Qingfeng looked up towards the window.
At this time, the Earth was in the Great Nirvana Era.
Five hundred years ago, a meteorite fell from outer heaven, causing the extinction of billions.
At the same time, the outer heaven meteorite seemed to have provided the Earth with an extremely powerful energy—spiritual power.
Causing living genes on Earth to transform radically.
Humans, demon beasts, and plants all became extremely powerful due to this energy.
Since then.
Humans and demon beasts started large-scale battles for survival land.
In the end, humans held onto the land while demon beasts retreated to the oceans.
Warfare erupted from time to time.
Huaxia was divided into four bases.
Respectively, the East, South, West, and North bases, guarded by supreme powerhouses.
Jiangnan City belonged to the Southern Base, one of its cities.
This was an era where power reigned supreme.
Whether for humans or demon beasts, only by becoming stronger could one obtain more cultivation resources.
To protect those they wanted to protect.
"Void Cauldron Immortal Technique!"
Ye Qingfeng activated the last trace of spiritual power inside him with difficulty.
The Void Cauldron Immortal Technique was obtained by Ye Qingfeng in the ruins; it was an incomplete version.
However, back then, as the Nine Tribulations Immortal Venerable, Ye Qingfeng fused it with his own Dao.
Slowly deducing the Void Cauldron Immortal Technique.
In this life, he must perfect the Void Cauldron Immortal Technique.
"Hoo!"
After the Void Cauldron Immortal Technique ran for a cycle, Ye Qingfeng exhaled impure air.
"It seems that half of the spiritual power was absorbed by the Devouring Sky Pearl."
Ye Qingfeng's eyes brightened as he looked at the Trapped Dragon Diagram on his chest.
Simultaneously, Ye Qingfeng clenched his fists, sensing his own realm.
Roughly equivalent to a warrior existence in the current Mortal World Martial Artist Realm.
"Slowly cultivate, Jiangnan City is considered a safe city in the Southern Base."
Ye Qingfeng murmured.
Jiangnan City has rivers, but only some demon beasts with weak combat power.
As long as it's not near the sea, one doesn't have to worry too much about powerful demon beast attacks.
...
"Mom! Where did you find this country bumpkin? If he lives in our house, it would be so embarrassing."
Bai Wan'er's willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed deeply, complaining.
"Wan'er, don't talk nonsense, later you accompany Qingfeng to the mall to buy some clothes."
Fang Meilian shot Bai Wan'er a glare.
"What, mom, are you kidding me, asking me to go shopping with him?"
Bai Wan'er was extremely unwilling.
Bringing this guy to buy clothes with her would be too embarrassing.
Usually, those tagging along with her are some rich elites from school.
Either with wealthy families or strong backgrounds or having become Martial Artists at a young age.
Bai Wan'er compared Ye Qingfeng to those young talents pursuing her in her heart.
The conclusion was that even the worst of them was beyond Ye Qingfeng by several leagues.
"I..."
Bai Wan'er wanted to argue more strongly.
With a creak.
The bathroom door opened.
The figure before Bai Wan'er had a tall, slender build, black hair as ink, and eyes like morning stars.
The aura around him was like a supreme divine sword in its sheathe.
At this moment, it was like a clear spring in his eyes, extremely calm.
This ethereal, celestial-like aura.
Even Bai Wan'er was stunned for a long time.
"He's so handsome, Qingfeng, when you go to school with Wan'er in the future, I wonder how many female classmates you'll captivate!"
Fang Meilian exclaimed in surprise, unable to help but tease.
"What use is good looks, without background or ability, he won't captivate any girls."
Recovering from her surprise, Bai Wan'er couldn't help but snicker.
In her view, Ye Qingfeng was just an incompetent youth, leeching off their home.
"You brat, hurry and go, accompany Qingfeng to buy some clothes."
Fang Meilian glared at Bai Wan'er.
In the end, Bai Wan'er had no choice.
She could only very reluctantly take Ye Qingfeng out.
However, after leaving the house, Bai Wan'er distanced herself a bit from Ye Qingfeng.
Emperor Mall.
Located in the bustling commercial center of Jiangnan City.
A five-star mall.
Extremely luxurious.
The interior design of the mall is also extremely fashionable and grand.
"Must be doing it on purpose."
Bai Wan'er looked at Ye Qingfeng coldly.
She muttered to herself.
Really, all along the way.
Aside from the initial greeting.
This guy maintained a cold, indifferent demeanor.
He never once looked her in the eye.
So, Bai Wan'er believed Ye Qingfeng was just pretending to attract her attention.
"Where are you going? The mall is this way."
Bai Wan'er felt an urge to facepalm.
This guy was too unsophisticated!
"Going to get money!"
Ye Qingfeng said flatly.
After speaking, Ye Qingfeng turned and left.
"Fine, let's see how much money you can get."
Bai Wan'er bit her silver tooth, glaring at Ye Qingfeng's back.
Originally, she had thought.
With the high prices at Emperor Mall, she would kindly foot the bill this time.
But who would've thought this guy treated her coldly, behaving arrogantly.
And even insisted on getting money himself.
Bai Wan'er didn't believe that the guy, who had worn ragged clothes since entering her house, could get enough money to shop at Emperor Mall.
