Xu Bai: I'm Rich

The surroundings were quiet. After the man named Wang Xing spoke, the entire sky fell silent.

Xu Bai stroked his chin with one hand while pondering the meaning behind his words with the other.

If what Wang Xing said is true, then he will make a fortune.

This force was much as he had imagined; it was indeed a force composed of Wu Nan, and it was extremely powerful, continuing from that era to the present.

To avoid being discovered, they didn't even expand their membership; they simply passed it down generation after generation, and to date, there are no more than a hundred people.

One hundred people may seem like a small number, and even medium-sized forces have far more than that. However, if all one hundred of them are experts at the Extraordinary Realm, then the significance is immense.

It's important to understand that even now, there are only a few hundred known extraordinary experts in the entire world, and this force accounts for a full hundred of them. What does that mean? It means that they make up a small portion of the top-tier forces.

As for why they are all extraordinary experts, according to what Wang Xing just said, it is related to that giant eye. If they continue to pass on their knowledge in this way, they can obtain extraordinary cultivation speed and eventually reach the extraordinary realm, but that's all.

They were unable to break through to the Sainthood realm, and they didn't know why. Later, someone tried to find out, and it was probably because the giant eye hadn't escaped its cage.

But this is already very good. For people in this world, it is extremely difficult to become extraordinary, yet they can reach the Extraordinary Realm with ease, only paying the price of not being able to become saints.

As for the rest, Wang Xing knew very little, including the origin of the giant eye and why it was in the cage.

All they knew was to keep a close watch on Xu Bai, and even to eliminate anyone who could let Xu Bai know the truth.

Just like Wu Hua not long ago.

There is a seed in their minds that will be triggered if someone learns anything about Xu Bai, making them aware of that person's existence.

Of course, this is within a certain range.

Therefore, their people were all scattered in various corners to ensure that no one was missed. Wu Hua happened to be in that area, so he was discovered and met with a fatal disaster.

Fortunately, there was Black Lotus Wu Hua, otherwise I would have really been in trouble that time.

They knew little about these things, but there was one thing they did on their own initiative, which was also the reason why Xu Bai felt he had become rich.

These people knew very well that they were helping the Giant Eye, so they thought about their own future while doing so. They had never seen the Giant Eye Giant Eye in person, but they knew its capabilities, and they knew that if this matter succeeded, their reward would be substantial.

So far, they have not thought about fighting for world domination, nor have they thought about making themselves out in the open. But not wanting to do something doesn't mean they won't do it.

Along their journey, they amassed all sorts of treasures and secret manuals, amassing quite a considerable amount.

So far, they have acquired a large number of treasures and hundreds of extraordinary manuals. As for those below the extraordinary level, they don't pay any attention to them because they look down on them.

Among the other treasures were various weapons, elixirs, and some strange and unusual items.

Any one of these items would be enough to attract a large number of people; they are all treasures of the Extraordinary Realm.

These are the things that make Xu Bai happy, and the reasons why he feels like he's struck it rich.

Those treasures that everyone covets could be used to expand the royal treasury.

As for the hundreds of extraordinary manuals...

Xu Bai rubbed his hands together, his eyes growing increasingly fervent.

These things can definitely help him reach a very high level. If there are many mental techniques involved, he can even slowly grind himself up to the Saintly Realm.

What he lacks most right now is his cultivation level, and he lacks it terribly. Because his Entering Sainthood Failure Insights cannot be integrated with his cultivation method, he can only slowly grind it out. And now, there are only two people left in the world who have entered sainthood.

It is said that Prime Minister Wen of the Great Chu Kingdom is getting closer and closer to that position, and the Dean of the Academy is not far from it either.

He didn't know if the rule would work for him, or if his cheat system could break through it, but before that, he had to try.

If he can't break through this rule, wouldn't he be the one who suffers? He'll be trapped in the Extraordinary Realm.

What he lacks is time, and he also lacks a progress bar.

"Take me to your treasure vault. Also, can you find a way to gather all your people together?" Xu Bai said slowly, narrowing his eyes.

The objective this time is to wipe out all those people, and secondly, to take a look at the treasure vault and get everything inside.

These people were controlled by the divine soul and had no way to resist. When Xu Bai asked this question, they all nodded.

Wang Xing, "If we encounter special or particularly difficult situations, it is possible to bring everyone together. We have gathered together before for this reason."

"As for the treasure vault, it is far from here, in an extremely remote place."

As long as there's a way, that's good. Xu Bai didn't say anything. As long as there's a way to get people together, everything will be fine. As for whether it's remote or not...

Etc!

Xu Bai raised an eyebrow and asked, "Does it mean we should stay away from the Barbarian Territory? Or rather, stay away from the capital of the Great Yue Kingdom?"

He suddenly remembered something: there were two other Barbarian Tribe who had reached sainthood and were eyeing him covetously.

Those two bastards are just waiting for him to run off to the middle of nowhere so they can kill him as soon as possible.

So if it's too far, he'll have to think of another way.

Wang Xing nodded. "When we were searching for treasures, we decided that we had to hide them in a remote place. So that place is extremely remote, and ordinary people really can't find it."

"We also discussed that if we want to gather everyone together, we can only do so in that place. After all, there are too many of us, and we are all at the Extraordinary Realm. It would be easy for us to be discovered in other places."

Is that so...?

Xu Bai frowned more and more deeply. If that was the case, it would be more difficult for him. If he went alone, he would definitely encounter danger. It seemed that he had to think of a solution.

Disguise?

No, no, no, this method won't work either. Although he now possesses Myriad Miscellaneous Arts at the Saint level, he is still only at the first level of Sainthood. This level is still a bit low for those two bastards. If he fails to fool them, he will be the one who suffers.

He has a cheat ability that he can trigger with a single strike, but he almost never plans to use this method anymore. After learning about the Giant Eye, he feels it's best to use it sparingly.

He would never use it unless in a critical situation.

"It seems that if I really want to go, I'll need at least two Saints to protect me, but it seems I can't find any right now," Xu Bai thought to himself.

There are currently seven people in the world who have attained sainthood, including the recently promoted Eunuch Wei.

But now each person who enters sainthood has their own things to do, and they are very important.

The only person he could summon was Eunuch Wei.

If Eunuch Wei were to protect them alone, there would still be some risks, since there are two Barbarian Tribe, and the other Entering Sainthood Expert are all too busy to spare any time.

"How can we capture them all and take all the treasures inside?" Xu Bai continued to ponder, feeling a bit of a headache.

This feeling is somewhat like having a treasure mountain in front of you, but being unable to enter it.

Standing there in mid-air, Xu Bai thought for a long time before a flash of inspiration came to him, and he came up with a solution.

"I've got it!" Xu Bai squinted his eyes. "Just because I can't go myself doesn't mean I can't let others go."

That's right, he can't go there right now because there are two bastards watching him, but that doesn't mean he can't have someone else get it for him.

This trip has at most two objectives: first, to completely annihilate this force; and second, to obtain all the treasures inside.

The fact that these two cemeteries are combined into one means that the person going there must have overwhelming strength to deal with all these extraordinary experts.

Then we'll have the manpower...

The only one capable of crushing extraordinary experts, and even a large number of them, is Entering Sainthood Expert expert. And among the Entering Sainthood Expert, the only one who is relatively free right now is Eunuch Wei.

He might not feel comfortable sending someone else, but he was extremely at ease with Eunuch Wei, since even the entire martial arts world still believed that he was Eunuch Wei's illegitimate son.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai snapped his fingers.

The next moment, of the dozen or so extraordinary experts present, only Wang Xing remained alive; the souls of the others had been annihilated.

"Next, I'll go to the Great Chu Kingdom's royal palace," Xu Bai thought.

He acted on his idea without hesitation, heading straight for the Great Chu Kingdom's imperial palace.

Wang Xing followed behind with a blank expression. The two of them, one in front and one behind, soon disappeared into the sky.

The Great Chu Kingdom, Imperial Palace.

In the present Great Chu Kingdom, Chief Mu has completely gotten all affairs running smoothly.

Today is a sunny and breezy day, much like usual.

The guards in the Imperial Palace were still performing their duties, and the Bureau of Surveillance Hidden Agent were also doing their own thing, but now their eyes were deeply attracted by a figure.

Wearing the Sun and Moon Daoist Robe, Xu Bai walked inside, just like the moon in the night sky, extremely dazzling.

These people were all secretly observing Xu Bai, but no one dared to look him directly in the eye. Although there was excitement in their eyes, they suppressed it.

King Xu! Heaven knows how long it has been since they last saw King Xu. In the past, King Xu was a frequent visitor to the Imperial Palace, and he could roam freely throughout the entire Imperial Palace without anyone daring to stop him. However, since he went to the Barbarian Territory, he has rarely returned, so they haven't seen him often.

Everyone present had only one thought about the King Xu before them: he was a walking legend.

From ancient times to the present, there has never been anyone like Xu Bai, who rose from an insignificant commoner to become the number one person below the Saint level in such a short period of time.

Truly unprecedented and unparalleled.

Therefore, Xu Bai has long since become a legend in the entire Great Chu Kingdom.

Xu Bai was already used to the stares around him, and he knew why these people were so excited, so he had long since become unfazed.

That's just how it is sometimes.

When you are just an insignificant ant, no one will pay attention to you. But when you become a Giant Tree that reaches the sky and connects to the earth, even from a distance, people will turn their attention to you.

Although it sounds cliché, that's the truth.

Xu Bai made no obstacles along the way, leading Wang Xing through street after street, and soon arrived at a building he was very familiar with.

Two eunuchs stood guard at the entrance, their faces serious, and no one tried to cheat or shirk their duties.

Anyone familiar with Eunuch Wei knows that Eunuch Wei extremely particular about rules and regulations, so those who worked under him naturally began to follow those rules as well.

The two eunuchs on duty were visibly shocked when they saw Xu Bai, but they quickly recovered and greeted him in a very smooth manner.

"Greetings, Your Prince!"

They were all people from the palace and were familiar with the various routines within the palace.

You can be shocked, you can be surprised, but you must not be impolite.

Otherwise, one would make a poor impression in front of these important figures.

Xu Bai nodded in response, and then stepped inside.

No one dared to stop them, nor did anyone dare to suggest reporting it. Everyone knew that given the relationship between King Xu and Eunuch Wei, there was no need to report it.

As for Eunuch Wei's adherence to rules...

The two of them could drink until they were completely drunk at the same table, so the rules are quite flexible.

Entering the familiar courtyard, Xu Bai knew the way like the back of his hand and came to a house, gently knocking on the door.

Soon, Eunuch Wei's voice came from inside the room.

"King Xu, you haven't been to the palace in a long time, and you've even remembered to knock on the door."

His words carried a hint of good-natured teasing.

Xu Bai felt somewhat dazed.

Indeed, it seems like it's been a long time since I've been to the Imperial Palace. After all, with the increase in my strength and status, there are more things to do.

He didn't bother with any further formalities, simply pushed the door open, and closed it behind him.

Inside the room, Eunuch Wei sat in a chair, sipping his tea slowly.

Next to him were the Four Treasures of the Study. There was a word "quiet" on the white paper. The ink was not yet dry. It was obviously written by Eunuch Wei.

Xu Bai stood before the mirror, looked at the character in front of him, and exclaimed, "Beautiful calligraphy!"

Eunuch Wei glanced at Xu Bai: "Alright, where is it?"

Xu Bai scratched his head awkwardly. "It's fine."

He's just a reckless fool; how could he possibly distinguish between good and bad?

I just thought the character was written well, so I casually complimented it.

Eunuch Wei put down his teacup, a kind smile on his face.

Xu Bai asked curiously, "Eunuch Wei, why haven't I seen you drinking? What's the point of this tea?"

Eunuch Wei laughed and said, "It's no fun without someone to drink with. It's quite nice to enjoy tea when you're alone."

Xu Bai waved his hand dismissively. "How can that be? Today, I, Xu, will get thoroughly drunk with Eunuch Wei!"

As he spoke, his eyes darted around like a little thief.

Speaking of wine, after drinking with Eunuch Wei, he naturally developed some appreciation skills. The Eunuch Wei here was very good, but the quantity was too small, and Eunuch Wei was sometimes a bit too stingy.

Eunuch Wei understood Xu Bai Xu Bai's thoughts and knew what he was thinking. He said, "Don't look around anymore. We can't drink with you these days."

"Oh?" Xu Bai asked, "Are you very busy?"

He glanced at the calligraphy written by Eunuch Wei, implying that if he was truly busy, he didn't need to practice calligraphy here.

Eunuch Wei picked up the writing on the table and said, "This wasn't written by us. Although the ink isn't dry, it will still look the same even after a month. Do you know who wrote it?"

Xu Bai shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

"Hey... it was written by the dean." Eunuch Wei laughed. "This old man sent this calligraphy all the way here, saying he wanted to show it to Prime Minister Wen. But after Prime Minister Wen saw it, he cursed and swore as if someone owed him hundreds of taels of silver."

"Since the characters were just sitting on the table, we asked for them and understood what they meant after seeing them."

"It's not uncommon for scholars to bicker with each other, but the level of bickering they've reached is quite rare."

Upon hearing this, Xu Bai's eyes lit up. "Judging from this, it seems the Dean will be faster than Prime Minister Wen."

Currently, among all the Extraordinary Rank 9 in the world, the fastest are the Dean and Prime Minister Wen. They are almost certain to secure the last two spots.

Normally, it doesn't matter if you're one step ahead or I'm one step ahead, since both spots are already set.

However, this may not be the case for the two of them, because their relationship is extraordinary, and one could even say that they have a deep-seated grudge.

The two people have different ideas, so they can't stand each other.

Taking the first step proves that I am stronger than you. Even if you later reach the Sainthood level, it doesn't matter, because I am stronger than you anyway.

The fact that the dean dared to send this calligraphy must mean that it reveals something that proves his speed.

"Sigh, these two old guys have been fighting for so long, and they're still fighting. It's really annoying, but no matter what, Prime Minister Wen is still an official of our Great Chu Kingdom," sighed Eunuch Wei.

Xu Bai said, "Judging from this, you're planning to make a move. But how this thing helps him break through his cultivation level is his own business."

The implication was clear: the Great Chu Kingdom was determined to help Prime Minister Wen.

Eunuch Wei said helplessly, "You're good in every way, but sometimes you overuse your brain. We won't help him because both of them are already in the Capital City."

"No matter who steps into the Saint Realm first, it's good for the Great Chu Kingdom. There's no need to offend the other in order to help one, since they are both people of the Great Chu Kingdom."

"Our family is now ordered to protect them because they are trying their best to break through. We need to prevent any accidents from happening, even though the chances of such accidents are slim."

"Chief Mu is currently focused on preparing for his Exiting Sainthood, so he simply doesn't have the time, as he also has to manage state affairs."

Xu Bai's lips twitched slightly. "Eunuch Wei, is your so-called prevention of accidents just about drinking tea here?"

Eunuch Wei said, "Everyone has already reached the Saintly Realm. As long as we are in the Capital City, we can all maintain our composure."

All right.

Xu Bai understood. That made sense. How could there be any other unexpected events when a Saint was stationed in the Capital City?

Eunuch Wei gave Xu Bai a strange look. "You must have come here for something, right?"

Xu Bai nodded. He did have something to do, but it seemed that he couldn't finish it now.

Of course, he still explained the whole story.

Eunuch Wei frowned slightly. "A force specifically targeting you... Your method is indeed very good, but we can't get away from it."

Xu Bai understood.

He was indeed unable to leave this situation, so he planned to go first and then think of other solutions.

Although Eunuch Wei and I have a good relationship, I can't expect Eunuch Wei to disregard the consequences just because of this matter.

With that thought in mind, Xu Bai decided to take his leave.

But before he could speak, Eunuch Wei spoke up again.

"Don't be in such a hurry. It's not like there aren't other ways. Your biggest worry right now is those two Barbarian Tribe guys. We can just disguise them."

Xu Bai shook his head. "Disguise is good, but my disguise skills are not high enough."

Even if he borrowed a mask, it wouldn't be of any use, because his current abilities have already surpassed those of the Thousand Faces Female Thief.

Eunuch Wei said slowly, "By disguising yourself and appearing unexpectedly where you want to go, and arriving in an instant, even if those two old guys on the other side have extraordinary abilities, they won't know you've left."

Xu Bai was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

They teleported here instantly?

If that's the case, then it's actually quite possible.

As long as I am within the territory of the Great Chu Kingdom, even in the Barbarian Territory, the other side will not dare to come in and investigate.

However, if you leave that area, the other party may be able to detect you. In other words, if you suddenly appear out of that area without any reason, the other party won't even know you've left.

"But is there such a method?" Xu Bai asked curiously. "Eunuch Wei, please show me the way."

Eunuch Wei smiled and said, "The Ancient Moon Sword Sect."

Ancient Moon Sword Sect?

Xu Bai frowned.

He was very familiar with this tradition. Although he had never been there, several people had a lot of connections to it.

Rising Dusk King, Chu Yu, Qin Feng.

Let's leave the fisherman aside for now.

He knew that the Sect Leader of the Ancient Moon Sword Sect was Chu Yu's mother.

However, why would someone who wields a sword have a method to arrive in an instant? Eunuch Wei seemed to have seen through Xu Bai's thoughts, picked up the teacup next to him, took a sip, and then put the teacup down.

"Swords are all very fast. They have an ancient sword that has been passed down through generations. I don't know the specifics, but I do have the ability to use it."

Xu Bai's eyes lit up. "Then I'll go now."

If there's a way, then do it; that's Xu Bai's approach.

Seeing Xu Bai's Xu Bai manner, Eunuch Wei stopped him again, saying helplessly, "Normally nothing's wrong, but lately there's been a bit of trouble..."
