Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 310: Promising Stock

At eleven o’clock at night, Li Xiaoyao finally returned to Ling City.

He carried with him Liu Chengxiang’s sachet, which was to be delivered to Jiang Lichun.

The meaning of the sixteen characters, Li Xiaoyao guessed at just one glance.

Liu Chengxiang had divined this time’s auspicious or ominous outcome for Jiang Lichun’s ancient tomb expedition, and the divination revealed great fortune, but only on the condition that Li Xiaoyao must accompany them.

In other words, Li Xiaoyao was a bringer of luck.

That’s one way to put it.

...

Li Xiaoyao didn’t tell anyone about his return, not even Zhang Meng was aware.

He took a taxi straight to the shop and cultivated underneath the Spirit Stone Vein for the entire night.

The giant serpent beneath the Spirit Stone Vein was still in deep slumber, showing no signs of awakening.

Early in the morning, he received a call from Jiang Lichun, asking him to rush to the suburbs immediately, saying they were prepared to head to the ancient tomb that very day.

Li Xiaoyao didn’t expect them to be in such a hurry, but considering they had been delayed for so long because of him, he didn’t complain and took a taxi straight there.

Upon arriving at the suburbs, Li Xiaoyao looked around and spotted several high-end off-road vehicles parked by the side of the freeway.

Jiang Lichun squatted by the roadside, puffing away at his dry pipe.

Li Xiaoyao walked over and greeted Jiang Lichun.

Standing up from the ground, Jiang Lichun turned around and introduced him to a few others, "This is Li Xiaoyao." Then he introduced to Li Xiaoyao, "This lady is the Family Head of the Feng Family from Zhongzhou, Feng Xinran."

Feng Xinran appeared to be just a little over twenty, evidently a stunning young lady with a fiery figure in a red dress, and a face of unparalleled beauty.

Li Xiaoyao was slightly surprised; this woman had become the head of a family at only twenty, she was definitely not to be underestimated.

"This is Yu Shenghe, the Family Head of the Yu Family from Zhongzhou." This was a middle-aged man in his forties, with half-black, half-white flowing hair, a stern expression, and an altogether serious demeanor.

"This is Qi Tianning, the Family Head of the Qi Family from Liangzhou." This man looked to be in his forties too, lean in build, with hollowed eye sockets, giving off a somewhat sinister vibe.

All three individuals had an air of extraordinary bearing, and Li Xiaoyao could tell at one glance that their cultivation levels were not ordinary, much stronger than his own.

"Now that everyone is here, let’s set off," Yu Shenghe said after casting a glance at Li Xiaoyao, then turned towards an SUV.

Qi Tianning nodded and silently made his way to another vehicle.

Only Feng Xinran walked up to Li Xiaoyao, flashed a slight smile, and with a swirl of her enchanting eyes around him, said, "You, young man, had better take good care of me."

"Heh, Family Head Feng has quite the sense of humor," Li Xiaoyao replied noncommittally, as Feng Xinran also turned to board the vehicle.

Li Xiaoyao and Jiang Lichun got into a Land Rover, with Jiang Lichun driving in the lead.

The four vehicles drove on for about three hours before the lead car abruptly made a turn, directly entering a field of green grass, clearly headed for the Ghost Market.

In the car, Li Xiaoyao asked, "How do their cultivation levels compare to yours?"

"A bit lower," Jiang Lichun said as he took a drag from his old tobacco pipe.

"That woman is so young, yet her cultivation is so terrifyingly powerful, isn’t that a bit abnormal?" Li Xiaoyao said, picturing Feng Xinran’s fair and delicate face.

A strange expression crossed Jiang Lichun’s face as he glanced at him, saying, "Young? Do you know how old she is?"

Li Xiaoyao felt a surge of unease and asked, "How old?"

"If my memory serves me right, she and Yu Shenghe are 69 years old this year," Jiang Lichun said with a half-smile, "Do you still think she looks young and beautiful?"

His mouth twitched several times, and Li Xiaoyao’s lips quivered as he said, "69... damn, that’s some incredible maintenance, huh?"

"Once one’s cultivation level reaches the Abstinence Realm, one can maintain the appearance of that age," Jiang Lichun explained. "Speaking of which, this woman’s cultivation talent is indeed terrifying. I remember that she seemed to have reached the Abstinence Realm at twenty-seven years old. However, it took her over forty years to progress from the Abstinence Realm to the Spirit Cultivation Realm."

"Cultivated to the Abstinence Realm at twenty-seven years old!" Li Xiaoyao was shocked. If this woman had not relied on external aids, she would definitely deserve the term ’genius’.

Li Xiaoyao was 28 years old this year, and with the help of the Mysterious System, he had only cultivated to the eighth layer of the Condensation Realm.

Nevertheless, Feng Xinran still couldn’t hold a candle to Li Xiaoyao because, after all, the so-called barriers of the realm hardly posed any problem for him.

Li Xiaoyao’s current approach was to madly absorb Spiritual Energy, and once the energy in his Dantian reached a certain threshold, he could successfully transform quantity into quality and thus break through.

"That ancient tomb, how did you come across it?"

"There wasn’t much of interest for me at the Ghost Market, so I took a stroll around and quite unexpectedly discovered a Demon Beast in the deep mountains. I originally intended to capture that beast, but who knew that I would stumble upon an ancient tomb instead."

Li Xiaoyao curled his lips and said, "You’re really quite lucky."

"Slap slap," Jiang Lichun asked, "Did you cause trouble in Jindu again, kid?"

"What do you mean ’again’? I never caused trouble in the first place." Li Xiaoyao was dissatisfied with his choice of words.

Jiang Lichun said, "Kid, don’t think I don’t know. Did you or did you not kill Yang Tianren?"

"He deserved to die."

"Well, you killed him, so let it be. He was just a minor Cultivator at the Abstinence Realm." After saying this, Jiang Lichun added, "However, you should still be careful. Although Yang Tianren was just an ordinary Cultivator, he was also an Alchemist. The influence of an Alchemist is not to be taken lightly, and besides, the Tian Jian Sect is behind him. Be wary of their retaliation."

Li Xiaoyao took out a cigarette and lit it, saying, "If they dare come, I dare to kill. I’ll kill until they no longer dare to come."

"That’s some guts you have, but your strength doesn’t quite match it," Jiang Lichun glanced over him, then suddenly let out a light exclamation, "Why do I feel like your cultivation level has improved again? What cultivation level are you at now?"

"Eighth layer of the Condensation Realm."

Jiang Lichun’s pupils shrank suddenly, and he slammed on the accelerator so hard that Li Xiaoyao was caught off guard and almost hit the windshield.

Li Xiaoyao swore, "Fuck, old man, did you take Viagra or something?"

Staring at him in shock, Jiang Lichun asked, "If I’m not mistaken, weren’t you at the fifth layer of the Condensation Realm just over a month ago?"

"Yeah," Li Xiaoyao grunted in annoyance and re-lit his cigarette.

Jiang Lichun was internally shocked to no end. In a little over a month, from the fifth layer of the Condensation Realm to the eighth! That was three whole levels of breakthrough!

What kind of cultivation speed was that?

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Jiang Lichun would never have believed that someone could possess such a terrifying rate of cultivation.

Seeing Li Xiaoyao’s dissatisfied expression while smoking, Jiang Lichun felt a secret delight.

It seemed he had truly stumbled upon a treasure. Li Xiaoyao was a monster among Cultivators—an unorthodox monster.

Luckily, he had the foresight to identify the gem early on and brought Li Xiaoyao into the Xuan Sect.

Such a promising talent befriending them early was indeed a blessing for the Xuan Sect.
