Arriving at the Small Settlement

"I suspect that Yue Jian's cultivation level is more than just the First Realm the Profound Realm."

"Um?"

Bo Xiwan's expression immediately turned serious. "What makes you say that?"

His strong reaction stemmed entirely from the fact that Yue Jian's cultivation level was a crucial element of their plan.

That's right, Yue Jian deliberately let this Profound Realm in.

He and Xue Jiuyao were essentially just temporary partners with similar interests, or even verbal partners who hadn't even signed a contract.

They need a neutral, uninformed third party to act as a balancing force.

However, this is only the most insignificant role played by this third party.

Xue Jiuyao was naturally aware of the seriousness of the matter.

He was also one of the parties to a share of the "cake," so of course he didn't want to make this trip for nothing.

"When I was dealing with the Beastfolk army just now, I deliberately tried to sense that kid's Psychic Energy fluctuations."

"Perhaps because he used his talent, his Psychic Energy fluctuations weren't completely contained."

"I could sense that fleeting peak was at least at the pinnacle of the First Realm."

"Judging from his still-energized state, I estimate his cultivation level is Middle Stage of the Second Realm of the Profound Realm."

After hearing Xue Jiuyao's words, Bo Xiwan's furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

"It's nothing serious; the Second Realm of the Profound Realm is still within the machine's tolerance range."

"The machine can do it, but can you? Have you broken through to the Second Realm?"

In private, Xue Jiuyao never bothered to put on Bo Xiwan's bossy airs, and directly started to mock him.

After listening, Bo Xiwan's expression remained as gentle and polite as ever, and he slowly replied.

"Hmm, you broke through. It was quite easy."

Damn it, I forgot that this little brat is actually a genius to some extent.

The thought that this guy was actually only 17 years old made Xue Jiuyao even more annoyed.

A sinister smile twisted his lips, and his eyes began to turn hostile.

Don't force me to hit you here.

"I still have accounts to settle. See you later."

Bo Xiwan getaway; he always knew when to quit while he was ahead and never did anything that would result in a loss.

If we try to gain an advantage verbally this time, we might end up suffering some physical pain.

Xue Jiuyao let the man slip back into the depths of the cabin. After all, they weren't close enough to casually "spar" with each other.

If this kid hadn't had enough leverage, he would have killed him the first time he met him on the Ringwater Continent.

After all, this person was exactly the kind of person he hated most: a cunning and two-faced individual.

The two left their original spots and walked into the darkness in different directions.

The merchant ship sailed for nearly two more days through the rolling mountains and rainforests.

That afternoon, a different scene finally appeared on the riverbank.

The once dense and towering trees suddenly disappeared somewhere.

Instead, small settlements were pieced together from wood, rocks, and glazed tiles.

Although this settlement was small, it was by no means rudimentary.

Furthermore, looking towards the riverbank, their docks were even better built than those in Chen City.

The dock was not built along the original riverbank.

Viewed from above, it clearly presents a C-shaped inward curve.

This is to provide ample berthing space for arriving ships.

The moon-white, patterned mountain rocks were cut into regular cuboids, forming the flat ground of the dock.

The pillars, also made of moon-white stone, support the dock's massive glazed tile roof.

Sunlight streamed through the canopy, making the entire pier and its surroundings gleam.

The Fortune-Bringing Merchant Ship's Psychic Energy Thrusters reversed direction, allowing the hull to withstand the rushing river water.

The cargo ship slowly entered the harbor, and the workers dropped the huge, heavy anchor.

Using the ship's final gliding momentum, the anchor was driven deep into the riverbed, firmly securing the massive merchant ship.

After a while, the ship came to a complete stop, and the hatch on the side of the hull slowly opened.

Workers began pushing cargo containers off the ship one after another, and the empty square at the dock instantly became lively.

Shisui followed Bo Xiwan and Xue Jiuyao off the boat.

He looked around curiously, a faint crimson gleaming deep within his dark pupils.

In the past two days, Shisui has further improved his cultivation.

At this moment, his control over Rc Cells and Psychic Energy was noticeably more precise.

Now, he is confident that he can control the Feather Powder during battle to confuse the enemy's senses.

Shisui walked on the intricately patterned Moonwhite Rock, his Kakugan half-open.

In the field of vision, dense Psychic Energy were spread across the rocks and glass of the dock.

Further away, the houses in the settlement were clearly built using the same building materials as the dock.

At first glance, Shisui noticed the strangeness of this small settlement.

Rocks and trees containing Psychic Energy are not actually rare on Ruolan Star.

However, the fact that such a small settlement could utilize such a large area only indicates that there are abundant Moonwhite Rock resources in this area.

He boldly guessed that there was a high probability that there was a mineral vein containing Psychic Energy here.

The Psychic Energy veins on Ruolan Star are special geological structures that can automatically absorb Psychic Energy from the air.

As it absorbs and fixes free Psychic Energy, it also affects the surrounding environment, causing the Psychic Energy content to increase.

Only mineral veins could sustain such an extravagant use of Psychic Energy natural resources.

Shisui was thinking, he heard Bo Xiwan say from ahead, "Is this Mr. Yue Jian's first time visiting Moonwhite Shoal?"

"Um."

How are you feeling?

"Truly deserving of its name."

Moonwhite Shoal, a flat area by the river with a moon-white hue, truly lives up to its name.

"Haha, indeed," Bo Xiwan said with a strange smile, "It's great that you like it; this is a wonderful place."

Wow, so this is the burial place you chose for me?

Shisui calmly and Bo Xiwan, Zi Sui also paid no attention to Xue Jiuyao, who was quietly keeping a low profile.

Compared to Bo Xiwan standing on the stage, Xue Jiuyao is more likely to be the executioner.

I just don't know when they're going to make their move.

As Xue Jiuyao adjusted her breathing and gradually blended into her surroundings, she also noticed Shisui or unintentional gaze.

He didn't panic when his little actions were discovered.

Instead, he began to prolong this process of gradually diminishing his own presence in order to divert the target's attention.

A qualified hunter should have two or even more contingency plans; that's normal.

While Shisui's attention was occupied by Bo Xiwan and his own actions, he did not use his Psychic Energy but instead scattered something into the air.

Powder-like metallic particles were stirred up and spread by the river breeze.

The light dust easily clung to Shisui's clothes.

Um?

Shisui clothing made of Rc Cells keenly detects the attachment of foreign objects.

He continued to talk to Bo Xiwan while keeping an eye on Xue Jiuyao's condition.

Meanwhile, the Shisui Rc Cells surrounded the "dust," silently imprisoning these uninvited guests in place.

Interesting. These things are actually microorganisms encased in Psychic Energy metal?

Shisui spared a little attention to sense the dust, and then thought about it with great interest.

Let me see what you're really up to.
