I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense-Chapter 354: 355 Cultivation Is Simpler Than Breathing

“`

The fortifications of the fourth battlefield were comparable to the Holy City, grand and imposing.

Dragon carvings and paintings adorned the front gates, and the guards were exceptionally robust and strong.

Li Xiaobai scrutinized the place carefully. Yang Guang’s concerns were justified—inconspicuously, the city had been repaired and strengthened to rival the Holy City, which was certainly no good sign.

Moreover, the stream of cultivators coming and going from the city was endless, and its popularity and prosperity far surpassed that of the Holy City.

Cai Kunxu really had some tricks up his sleeve. With just the fourth battlefield being so impressive, one could hardly imagine how wealthy the first battlefield must be. No wonder these City Lords were secretly expanding their power.

Who wouldn’t want greater authority with such a city in their possession?

On the warship, Cai Kunxu approached Li Xiaobai and handed him an elixir.

“Young Master Li, this is a Life-Extending Pill. It can save your life in critical moments. The battlefield can change in the blink of an eye, and I will distribute these life-saving items in advance.”

“I hope Young Master Li will take good care of himself!”

A chill flickered in Cai Kunxu’s pupils, but he still maintained a warm and gentle facade as he spoke.

“Heh, thank you, Lord Cai.”

“However, with my nearly invincible cultivation level, I hardly need any elixirs to save my life. It’s better if Lord Cai doesn’t waste his efforts.”

Li Xiaobai chuckled lightly and casually tossed the elixir into his mouth.

[Attribute Points +3000…]

Well, he had guessed it was a Poison Pill, but he hadn’t expected the elixir to be so potent, adding three thousand attribute points instantly—far beyond any ordinary poison could compare.

Cai Kunxu’s expression also changed slightly. He had chosen this Poison Pill carefully; any cultivator at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage who took it would suffer severe injuries, and their Spiritual Power would be locked, making it difficult to circulate in a short time. And Li Xiaobai had swallowed it as if it were nothing?

It was simply unbelievable.

“It seems I have overstepped, but I have great admiration for Young Master Li’s natural talent.”

“However, since I am personally leading this mission, I must be responsible for the safety of every member. I have to do what is necessary, and I ask you not to reject my kind intentions. This pill is truly a powerful supplement, and I hope Young Master Li will accept it.”

Cai Kunxu changed his tone abruptly and produced another pale white elixir in his palm, offering it to Li Xiaobai.

Li Xiaobai sneered repeatedly, seeing that Cai Kunxu was indeed a sly and hypocritical schemer.

Responsible for the safety of every member? frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

I’m afraid you’re the first one who wants to kill me. It’s just that now you’re restrained by Yang Guang, so you don’t dare to make trouble openly.

Without a second thought, he swallowed the elixir.

With his defensive power, it was hard for any elixir to have an effect on him.

But after swallowing this elixir, there was no increase in attribute points. Li Xiaobai was puzzled; could this really be a powerful nourishing pill?

However, seeing the viciously cunning look in Cai Kunxu’s eyes, it was not hard to realize that this thing was definitely more toxic than the previous elixir. He just didn’t know why it didn’t harm him.

“Lord Cai has troubled himself for nothing. I actually preferred the previous elixir, its effects were remarkable. This one seems a bit lacking.”

Li Xiaobai nodded as he spoke slowly.

“Heh, since Young Master Li insists, I won’t force it. I’ll take good care of you on the battlefield,” said Cai Kunxu, chuckling and brushing away his previous sinister expression, feeling extremely pleased with himself.

The pill he had provided was no ordinary Poison Pill, but a Binding Pill; once taken, the Spiritual Power in one’s body would gradually become entangled and difficult to circulate, like mire.

Once on the battlefield, if Li Xiaobai was unable to use his Spiritual Power, any Flesh Mountain would be able to slay him easily.

“I appreciate it.”

“`

Li Xiaobai clasped his fist in greeting, speaking neither warmly nor coldly.

Cai Kunxu left to tally his troops, preparing to lead people to sweep the battlefield.

Yang Chen and Ling Feng came over, having witnessed the entire process and feeling somewhat worried for Li Xiaobai.

“Little junior brother, are you alright? Cai Kunxu is no good fellow, and you dared to take the elixirs he offered?”

Yang Chen whispered.

“Don’t worry, fourth senior brother, they were just two poison pills, utterly useless,”

Li Xiaobai said with a relaxed expression, patting his chest.

“Little junior brother, how on earth do you cultivate to progress so rapidly? I’ve heard that even the ancient ancestors of the various clans in Central Province have no way with you. I’m afraid even we may no longer be able to land a blow on you now, right?”

Ling Feng looked at Li Xiaobai with a surprised and questioning face, examining him as if he had discovered a new continent.

“Heh, it’s just luck. Isn’t it the same for the rest of our senior brothers and sisters? I heard second senior sister say that cultivating is as simple as eating and drinking, with the cultivation level improving every moment. It’s hard not to become stronger!”

Li Xiaobai recalled Ye Wushuang’s showy tactics, an act of boasting that could be said to have torn through the heavens.

The act was even better than his own!

Yet as soon as these words were spoken, the expressions on Yang Chen and Ling Feng’s faces suddenly turned grave.

“Little junior brother, logically speaking, we all come from the same sect, seven brothers and sisters, all with blazing fast cultivation speeds. Haven’t you realized the seriousness within this?”

“Our genius cultivation is not as simple as eating and drinking!”

Yang Chen said indifferently.

“What do you mean?”

Seeing the sudden seriousness of his senior brothers, Li Xiaobai felt somewhat out of his element, a bit tense.

“We geniuses find cultivation even simpler than breathing. Improving our cultivation level is something that happens unconsciously. Even if we don’t focus on it, the spiritual power within our bodies grows every moment. Do you understand what I mean?”

Yang Chen spoke with a mysterious air.

“And it’s not just that; being able to cultivate rapidly is one thing, but our understanding and comprehension of cultivation techniques far surpass that of ordinary people. Easily challenging those above our level is a straightforward affair. Tell me, is this something a normal person could manage?”

Ling Feng also nodded, his face full of serious expression.

Li Xiaobai felt his heart twitch, as if ten thousand imaginary horses were galloping through his mind.

Hear that, human speech?

Yang Chen and Ling Feng spoke just like Ye Wushuang.

I’d give this act full marks!

“Erm… I understand, this is something only prodigies like the senior brothers and sisters can achieve,”

Li Xiaobai said dryly.

Yet Yang Chen shook his head: “Little junior brother, you don’t quite understand. It seems your state is not the same as ours; otherwise, you would have realized it when second senior sister pointed it out.”

“What do you mean?”

Li Xiaobai was thoroughly confused. Cultivating quickly, defeating those above one’s level, wasn’t that just showing off? Why did the atmosphere suddenly turn so serious?

After thinking for a moment, Ling Feng decided to speak plainly.

“Little junior brother, there’s something wrong with the bodies of us senior brothers and sisters. It feels as though there is another cultivator hidden within us, cultivating on our behalf all of the time!”
