Chapter 50: 50
"Bastard! Damn you bastard! This young lady won't spare you!" Li Hong'er shouted from the lake . She grew up in the Martial Hall Palace and was known as the number one tyrannical mistress of the palace . She had always been the one doing the bullying, not the other way around . Today, she was going to teach this conceited kid a lesson but was pulled into the lake instead! That was too infuriating!
Nevertheless, Li Hong'er had practiced martial cultivation since young, and she was presently a mid-phase, third-stage Astral Realm cultivator . It did not take her long to climb out of the water . Her entire body was now wet, perfectly revealing her developing figure before Xiang Shaoyun's eyes .
"Eh, you do look decent . But unfortunately, your chest is too flat, and your backside is not curvy enough . More importantly, your character is terrible . If I have to rate you, your rating will be in the negatives," Xiang Shaoyun said right to Li Hong'er's face .
"Die!" Li Hong'er was not one with a good temper . Upon hearing those words, she erupted in anger . She ignored the sorry state she was in and directly attacked Xiang Shaoyun . She slammed her palm toward Xiang Shaoyun’s chest . The palm was reinforced with astral energy and was glowing with a blood-red radiance .
Blood Noxious Palm!
A third-stage Astral Realm cultivator already qualified as an expert, and an ordinary person would never be able to stop the attack of a cultivator at this level . Facing this attack, instead of dodging, Xiang Shaoyun stepped forward and sent out his own punch .
Rushing Qi Fist!
The punch was not exuding any astral energy, yet it carried an extremely violent momentum with it . The palm and the fist met . A muffled thud sounded in the air . The clash forced Li Hong’er to take two steps back, and even her palm was aching . On the other hand, Xiang Shaoyun did not move a single step, as if he was completely unaffected by Li Hong'er's attack .
"Considering how you have received your lesson, I hereby grant you permission to piss off from my face . Otherwise, don't blame me for not showing you any mercy," Xiang Shaoyun said coldly .
Li Hong'er had once whipped and scarred his beautiful face, and he had once vowed to teach this girl a harsh lesson . But now, when he saw Li Hong’er’s sorry state after falling into the lake, his anger dissipated . Thus, he decided to spare her instead . He believed that as a man, he had to be magnanimous . Unfortunately, Li Hong'er felt no sense of gratefulness toward his magnanimity .
"You dare tell me to piss off? If I don't kill you right this moment, I won't be able to alleviate the anger in my heart!" Li Hong'er shouted before she mustered all her strength and started attacking Xiang Shaoyun madly .
She was indeed worthy of being the daughter of Li Xuemeng . She had mastered the Blood Noxious Palm, and each of her palms contained a boundless power . Her attacks were all aimed at Xiang Shaoyun's vitals, and each attack was launched from an extremely tricky angle .
Clearly, Li Hong'er was only now revealing her true strength . Xiang Shaoyun did not activate his gift of instincts this time, but he was still able to see the trajectory of Li Hong'er's attacks . He used his Cloud Splitting Palm to face her Blood Noxious Palm . In the blink of an eye, the two had already exchanged more than 10 moves, and the victor was still undetermined .
"Not fair! You have the advantage fighting me with that wet body of yours! Should I just capture you instead?" Xiang Shaoyun could not stop his gaze from roaming Li Hong'er's body .
And when Li Hong'er heard that, she shivered slightly, which immediately caused her to reveal an opening . Taking advantage of the opening, Xiang Shaoyun sent a palm right at the girl's chest . The palm landed, and Li Hong'er was once again pushed into the lake .
Splash!
This was the second time Li Hong'er had fallen into the lake, and her body was even wetter now . Li Hong'er floated on the surface of the lake, completely dumbfounded . She suddenly roared like an angry tigress, "I . . . will not rest until you're dead!"
"Hey, that . . . was an accident!" Xiang Shaoyun replied with an innocent expression . He quickly added, "I told you to piss off, but you refused . Fine, fine . This young master is a magnanimous person . I'll forgive you . "
After saying that, he swaggered away without even bothering to wait for Li Hong'er to get out of the lake . No matter what, she was still an elder's daughter . If her father was to suddenly appear, it would be his turn to suffer .
"You f*cking asshole! I will never spare you! You won't be able to escape me!" Li Hong'er screeched in Xiang Shaoyun’s direction when she finally got out of the lake . It naturally attracted no response from Xiang Shaoyun . By now, he was already back at his own residence . After putting his luggage and some important belongings away, he brought some of the medicines he wouldn't need for now and headed to the Medicine Hall .
The Martial Hall Palace not only provided numerous medicinal herbs and weapons to the disciples but also bought them off the disciples . Xiang Shaoyun had gained quite a lot of old medicines from his trip to the Hundred Beast Mountain Range . Although he couldn't sell them all at once, he could still sell some of them to earn some points . With those points, he could buy some old medicines he actually needed .
After entering the Medicine Hall, Xiang Shaoyun took out the old medicines and said, "Revered overseer, take a look at how much these herbs are worth . "
The overseer looked at Xiang Shaoyun in astonishment . "Huh? You've reached Astral Realm? That was fast!"
Xiang Shaoyun was one of the only two five-star physique disciples the Martial Hall Palace had . He had even previously bought some herbs here . Naturally, the overseer had a deep impression of him .
He remembered that Xiang Shaoyun was still a seventh-stage Basic Realm the last time he had come . It had only been a month since then, and he was now in the Astral Realm . This was quite an astonishing speed .
More importantly, he could see that Xiang Shaoyun had clearly advanced without relying on any medicine! That was because Xiang Shaoyun's foundation was thick and stable, a sign that would not appear if one advanced by relying on medicine .
"Haha, it's only Astral Realm, nothing worth mentioning," Xiang Shaoyun said humbly, but he still had a smug look on his face . He was definitely not humble at all!
"Um, you have a talent nobody can compare with . Since that is the case, you have to work even harder and not get too cocky," sincerely advised the overseer . He then added, "Show me the herbs . I'll have a look . "
Xiang Shaoyun handed over the parcel and opened it . The overseer studied the herbs and praised, "This is quite the harvest!" He continued, "This is a 100-year-old grasstail flower, and this is a 150-year-old dried snake vine . . . huh? So many blood mushrooms! And this stalk here is even near 300 years old? It’s on the cusp of becoming a low-grade spirit medicine!"
Xiang Shaoyun did not say anything, yet he was thinking to himself, I already have a stalk of blood mushroom king for myself . I won't bother keeping these low-grade herbs .
After the overseer did his calculations, he gave Xiang Shaoyun a total of 6,500 points . Xiang Shaoyun was pretty satisfied with the price . After all, most of the herbs were gotten after killing the Mad Lion Hunting Group members and were completely earned by accident .
After getting the points, Xiang Shaoyun immediately exchanged them for a stalk of low-grade spirit medicine, illusionary star flower, and a few old medicines . He spent 6,000 points for the purchase .
"Kid, I thought your stars have been awakened? Why do you still need the illusionary star flower?" asked the overseer curiously . The illusionary star flower had a terrific efficacy on those at the peak of Basic Realm . It was a herb capable of helping one awaken their stars and enter the Astral Realm .
Because of that, the illusionary star flower was supposed to be useless for someone like Xiang Shaoyun who had already awakened his stars . That was the source of the overseer's curiosity .
"Hehe, I have my own usage for it," Xiang Shaoyun said with a wide grin . Of course he wouldn't tell the overseer that apart from awakening stars, the illusionary star flower was also quite useful in forming and growing the astral cosmos sea .
After leaving the Medicine Hall, Xiang Shaoyun headed straight toward the outer court . But when he arrived at the outer court, he found that others were bullying his underling, Xia Liuhui . Immediately, his mood soured .
