New Chapter: Use Resources Immediately

Li Lin and serene, her every move Clear and Transcendent, without the overwhelming pressure of an outsider.

Although she stands in the Bronze Arena, a place steeped in worldly affairs, she remains untouched by human life, as if she is distant from the present world, even possessing a sense of alienation.

Perhaps that's why Mysterious Mobile Phone said she wanted to enter the real world, to traverse the mundane world, to go from being detached from the world to being involved in it.

Wang Xuan remained calm, feeling it was no big deal. On that day in the Mysterious Sea, he had been passively fishing for Li Lin, but hadn't actually managed to catch her; they were far apart, separated by the starry sky.

In the final stage, Li Lin appeared in a blurry outline, wanting to settle accounts with the person who fished for her. However, the fishing platform was mysterious, Karma Fishing Rod was extraordinary, disappearing into the shadows, leaving her unable to catch up.

Wang Xuan was able to recognize her at a glance mainly because the clothes and accessories she wore looked so familiar; he had handled them all before.

"What's going on? Why is she coming this way!" Wang Xuan originally thought she was leaving the Bronze Giant Palace, so why was she walking towards him? There should have been no trace of her after the incident, given that the fishing platform was there to protect her.

At this moment, he was indeed a little flustered, but he had to pretend to be calm. If he were to make a mistake first, it would be an admission of guilt.

Many people in the Bronze Arena hadn't left yet and were all looking over. A few were shocked after learning Li Lin's identity.

Most people were unaware of her Roots; they were simply drawn to her ethereal presence and otherworldly aura, and were captivated by her beauty as she approached the iron cage.

"The Second King of Five Elements Mountain were made gods in one battle, gaining fame and fortune, and now even their luck with women is on the rise!" someone sighed, with a hint of sourness and envy.

In fact, Wang Xuan didn't want her to come at all, and he didn't want to have anything to do with her now.

At that moment, he really wanted to say, "Don't come any closer!"

However, Li Lin entered the iron cage, clearly intending to target him.

A commotion broke out in the VIP section. Some of the Super Peerless who knew his Roots were shocked that the extraordinary person from Moon Sacred Lake actually knew Kong Xuan.

"Look, my brother was destined to be alone for the rest of his life, but now such a good woman is taking the initiative to approach him." The wolverine was one of the majority and did not know Li Lin's identity.

He sighed from afar, recalling how the Second King of Five Elements Mountain, regardless of gender, would readily wield their Wolf Tooth Club and smash people's heads off, making them unapproachable to strangers.

With a bang, he was hit on the head. Elder Qingkong personally warned him and quickly reminded the Black Peacock Sacred Mountain lineage not to speak carelessly.

"This woman really does look..." Xiong Shan of the Black and White Bear Clan opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but was hit by a bamboo shoot root and stumbled, his mouth was blocked!

Wang Xuan stood still. Had he been discovered? Was her intuition really that sharp? He reflected on his actions. Where had he gone wrong? He shouldn't have been exposed.

The red ribbon in the killing formation diagram is theoretically imperceptible to outsiders.

Now that the other party has arrived, he can't pretend he didn't see them.

"Brother Kong, you guys chat first." The Beast Woman turned around with a smile, then said sweetly, "This lady is really beautiful."

Although she didn't know Li Lin, her ability to read people and read their expressions was top-notch. When she noticed that Super Peerless was watching them, she realized that the person was probably no ordinary person.

"Weren't we looking for you?" Wang Xuan said to the Beast Woman calmly.

The Beast Woman simply smiled, flicked her snow-white fox tail, and gracefully made her exit.

Wang Xuan was indeed flustered, but he controlled his heartbeat and suppressed the fluctuations of his primordial spirit, maintaining a calm expression. He spoke calmly, "Young lady, who are you...?"

In the VIP section, Qingkong rubbed her forehead, thinking, "Didn't you see me give you a meaningful look? And you still dare to call me 'Miss'." It was a pity Qingkong couldn't send mental signals in that direction, otherwise Li Lin would definitely have intercepted them.

"Kong Xuan, I've heard you're unruly and wild." Li Lin arrived and immediately gave this assessment.

Is this a pretext to label him after the initial suspicion, a prelude to disciplining him? Wang Xuan, wary, took two steps back and asked, "Little girl, who are you?"

Even the Super Peerless who knew the truth were speechless. It was already outrageous enough that you called an extraordinary person a "girl," but you added the word "little" to it?

Li Lin remained calm and showed no emotional fluctuation, saying, "You injured An Jingqi at Black Peacock Sacred Mountain?"

"Hmm?" Wang Xuan was surprised, then his mind cleared up. It was all a misunderstanding, and had nothing to do with fishing for her. This was someone standing up for someone.

That makes things easier. He calmed down and said, "It was just an accident. Fairy An is detached from worldly affairs and didn't really fight me. Besides, we're best friends now, and we've even added each other as friends on our communicators."

Li Lin nodded calmly and said, "Alright, let's just let this go. I just wanted to see just how wild you really are, and whether you'd give me a Wolf Fang Club the moment we met."

Wang Xuan thought to himself, "If I hadn't known in advance that it was you, and if you had come here to question me and make accusations, who says I wouldn't have taken action?"

"Hmm? Judging from your eyes, you want to attack me?" Li Lin looked at him.

"No, young lady, you are so ethereal, untouched by worldly affairs, and detached from worldly strife. Even a fierce and ruthless person standing here wouldn't have the heart to strike you, let alone me. In fact, I despise fighting and killing the most. Don't be fooled by my presence in the arena; I'm forced into it. My ideal is to live a simple life, with a lamp for company and books, walking under the stars with Bamboo Staff sandals. When weary, I'll retreat to the mountains and forests beyond the mortal world, quietly passing the years in peace, my body and mind no longer bound by the five elements," Wang Xuan said with a sigh.

"I don't believe you for a second!" The Candle Dragon Clan couldn't stand it anymore. How many kills did you just get? Now you have the nerve to say you want to jump into seclusion? How dare you?

At the same time, a group of people from the Fusion with Dao Sect, Golden Palace, Weiguang Cult, Long-armed Divine Ape Clan, and others all had something to say!

Li Lin glanced at him, then turned and drifted away.

Someone suggested she see Kong Xuan; she visited him and found him so-so.

It was a false alarm. Wang Xuan calmly left the scene and stepped out of the iron cage. Immediately, a large crowd surrounded him. Most of them were acquaintances, but there were also many Supernatural Practitioner he didn't recognize.

"Haha, brother, you're really something! One victory after another, that's great! We've finally gotten our revenge and vented our anger!" the wolverine laughed.

They were attacked in the city and nearly died, but now those extraordinary law enforcers and some members of the Candle Dragon Clan have been dealt with, and the matter has come to a satisfactory conclusion.

"Brother Kong, I can almost see the image of a demon king shaking the starry sky, destined to rise and become an extraordinary being. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, I am Qian Lin from Fortune Casino..." A middle-aged man walked over.

What kind of monsters and demons are they? What do the gambling den people want with him? Wang Xuan was puzzled. He didn't say that Wang Xuan was sworn enemies with gambling and drugs, but he didn't have any good feelings towards him either.

But he could only smile and deal with it; the people in this kind of place were probably no less ruthless than those in the gladiatorial arena.

"Brother Kong, there's a small gathering of the younger generation of our demon race later, which you can't miss. Of course, the members of Black Peacock Sacred Mountain must also be there," a Man in Green said with a smile.

Then, he lowered his voice and said, "The most beautiful woman of the demon race from Sky City is also here."

Wang Xuan smiled to himself, thinking, "Who compiled this list? I've never heard of a beauty list before, only an authoritative list of fugitives. For example, there are five-star undocumented fugitives on the Meteorite Sea list, who are quite famous interstellar fugitives."

Not far away, there was a woman who seemed to stand in the moon, emanating a hazy light. She looked this way and nodded slightly.

The wolverine quickly introduced the woman, hoping to bring prosperity to the Five Elements Mountain, and told Wang Xuan that she was the Moon Fairy, who was very famous in the starry sky.

With his help, the two exchanged contact information. Soon after, Wang Xuan heard a secret voice transmission: Fairy Mingyue asked him if he was interested in joining the Church of Light.

Is she trying to poach talent? The renowned Fairy Mingyue is trying to steal talent from Black Peacock Sacred Mountain.

Luo Ying appeared, her intuition sharp. She smiled and stopped Fairy Mingyue, not giving her a chance to continue the conversation.

The wolverine said, "Brother, there are some other friends you should get to know. They are people I specially selected for you, and I've left their contact information with you."

"Could you ask around for me what's going on and what they need me for? Excuse me, I forgot to ask the Bronze Giant Palace for their appearance fee." Wang Xuan used this as an excuse to leave, though it wasn't entirely a pretext.

He's fought so many matches, why hasn't the Bronze Arena mentioned this?

"Hmm?" Wang Xuan vaguely saw Dao Body figure among the departing crowd who gave him a strange feeling. The figure looked unfamiliar, but a certain Daoist charm made him feel that he had seen it before.

As the extraordinary individuals left, each heading out of the Bronze Giant Palace, the feeling he had for that person vanished, disappearing into the crowd without a trace.

"Beast Woman, have you forgotten something? I didn't just fight here for nothing, did I?"

The Beast Woman smiled sweetly and said, "It's recorded in the form of points on the Black Card. You can use it to exchange for rare items, and it's universally accepted anywhere in Sky City."

After learning about it, Wang Xuan was fairly satisfied.

However, since his main purpose this time was to resolve personal grudges and disputes, and he was forced to come to the arena to fight, his share of the profits was relatively low.

Even so, he still earned a large number of points because the number of viewers and ticket prices were astonishing.

He nodded and said, "I see. Then I'll use my points to buy some rare items in the city's rare item section. Oh, and could you prepare a cultivation chamber for me in advance? I'll need it when I get back."

"Brother Kong, what are your requirements for the secret room?" the Beast Woman asked.

Wang Xuan said, "As you know, Zhu Hai gave me Star River Outer Scenery Diagram. I plan to study this path and find a suitable secret room to practice this scripture."

Puff!

Zhu Hai had just come out from the back of the Bronze Giant Palace, having just healed his wounds and reconstructed his flesh and blood body, when he heard these words and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He gave Wang Xuan a cold look, then turned and left. He knew that if he made a rash move in the Sky City and the Bronze Giant Palace, he would not have a good outcome, so he had no choice but to restrain himself.

Wang Xuan waited for a long time until everyone in the 9th-floor arena had left before he leisurely departed and headed directly to the Oddities area.

The points from the Bronze Giant Palace are a form of hard currency, and he has no reason not to make use of them. There's no point in keeping resources in hand; they must be converted into his own cultivation and power as soon as possible.

The grand event wouldn't begin for several days, so he could take advantage of this opportunity to study the scriptures in his cultivation chamber, hoping to break through his current level and reach a higher level.

On the way, he made some changes to his appearance and changed his clothes to avoid being stared at and causing unnecessary trouble.

Wang Xuan headed straight for the mining area, the place where the earlier conflict had occurred.

Many of those piles of celestial materials contained star power, which tempted him. He wanted to buy them so they could help him practice the "Star River Cleansing Body Scripture".

Now he's back. This area has severe radiation, a characteristic of various old minerals produced in the Luofu Star Domain.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't miss out! These are all top-quality old materials from immortal mines. If it weren't for the incident in the Luofu Star Domain, this kind of stuff wouldn't be sold here," the stall owner said, trying to attract customers.

While the quality might be the highest, some of what he said was true: the overlord of the Luofu Star Domain had fallen, and things had been quite chaotic there recently.

In the past, it would have been very difficult to transport high-quality auspicious materials out of the country.

Wang Xuan lamented that on that day, the treasure of Luofu Mountain — the Luofu Sword —was shattered in the Meteorite Sea. Not long after, Luofu Mountain was attacked, and a strange person led forbidden items to destroy the temple.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is old material from Xiankeng. If you don't buy it now, you'll regret it for the rest of your life." The stall was actually very popular, with a large crowd gathered around it, but the stall owner's prices were too high, so not many people actually bought anything.

"Boss, how much are these stones?" Wang Xuan picked out a few. He had examined them with his Spiritual Heavenly Eye and found that some of the stones not only contained rich star power but also traces of blood, which was quite astonishing.

"Well, these few pieces each contain one Immortal Medicine, and that pile contains five Immortal Medicine in total," the stall owner calmly informed them, seemingly unconcerned about selling them. Indeed, they were extremely expensive.

The stall owner, who appeared to be a middle-aged man, was very composed and said, "I know that some friends have special means to investigate the contents of the precious materials. I know this well. Before coming here, I had someone examine each piece carefully, and each piece has a price that matches its status."

Wang Xuan sighed. It seemed his attempt to use his Spiritual Heavenly Eye to find a bargain had failed. The Luofu Star Domain was famous for its old mines with Strong Radiation, known throughout the starry sky. Naturally, top professionals were there to oversee the mines and had examined and priced various stones in advance.

The stall owner added, "Gentlemen, if you really want to buy cheaply, you can go to the Luofu Star Domain to gamble on mines, but it's very chaotic there recently, and everyone is fighting over unclaimed land."

"Boss, I'm planning to buy more. Just name your lowest price." Wang Xuan didn't want to waste any more time or cause any unforeseen problems. He planned to buy in bulk to help him break through the barrier.

These minerals contain many kinds of strange substances, but he only chose the strange stone that condenses rich star power and had no interest in the others for the time being.

"Are you sure you want to buy this much?" The stall owner was surprised because Wang Xuan had secretly gestured to him about an area. Those large piles together were a huge quantity, taking up a quarter of the ore he sold, almost forming a small hill.

Wang Xuan said, "Give me a reasonable price. If I can afford it, I'll clean it up for you, saving you the trouble of guarding this place for who knows how long."

Ultimately, the two parties reached an agreement, and Wang Xuan used up almost all the points on the Black Card he had just acquired in one go.

He lamented that those with mines at home were too rich. He had worked hard and struggled to earn his money, and today, with so many people watching the event, the venue was packed, and the ticket prices were exorbitantly high. In the end, after buying some stones, he was back to square one.

"Young friend, let's add each other as friends. I'll let you know as soon as any good stones arrive. And if you ever go to the Luofu Star Domain, I'll even take you to gamble on mines." The stall owner, Hong Fugui, was very happy. He sold a quarter of the ore in one go and was extremely satisfied, noticeably more enthusiastic than before.

"Okay!" Wang Xuan left his contact information and turned to leave.

One of the extraordinary individuals looked surprised and said, "Who is this person? He's too extravagant, buying up so many immortal materials in one go. I feel that the stones he picked are all rich in star power."

"It's probably Kong Xuan, the Second King of Five Elements Mountain," an old man said, his eyes flashing with runes as he watched Wang Xuan's figure gradually disappear.

Wang Xuan only changed his appearance slightly, without deliberately altering his demeanor or other aspects. He simply didn't want to be surrounded by onlookers, so after some people stared at him closely, they guessed his identity.

"Holy crap, no way, Kong Xuan, who just won the battle at the Bronze Giant Palace and became a legend in one battle, actually came here to buy stones."

"There's no mistake, today he stripped the Super Peerless Zhu Hai of his years of painstaking cultivation of the Star River Outer Scenery Diagram, and now he's buying rare stones containing star power. Without a doubt, he's going to practice the Outer View Map!"

In an instant, people uncovered the truth.

Many people showed surprise, and then sighed in amazement.

On that day, the Bronze Giant Palace shone brightly with starlight. A special magic array at the top of the palace was activated, drawing in the starry sea from beyond the heavens. A white light fell down, like extraordinary water descending from the sky.

Many people looked up in surprise. The Bronze Giant Palace was helping people receive starlight, and some people were practicing scriptures related to this.

Soon, the people of Sky City learned that Kong Xuan was practicing the Star River Outer Scenery Diagram and had created such a strange sight. Could it be that he was about to master it?

People were amazed, and at the same time felt that Zhu Hai was truly a great victim!

"Pfft!" That day, when Zhu Hai looked up into the distance, he coughed up six mouthfuls of blood.
