Rebirth of the Cultivation Devil-Chapter 991 - 918: The Whereabouts of the Spirit Stone
The plot twist was too fast, and public opinion instantly turned toward Huayu Group, drowning out the skeptical and abusive voices with supportive comments.
Some even tagged the person who had promised to eat shit on a livestream.
"Bro, your meal is here, please sign for it."
"Stop hiding, come out, don’t eat alone, we want to watch the livestream."
"Please provide the livestream address"
Huayu Group’s phones were suddenly sought after by countless users, many of whom were beating their chests in regret for not buying a Huayu Mobile earlier.
One can imagine the frenzy during the presale of Huayu Mobiles next week.
Only ten thousand units available, they’re incredibly precious!
When the next Monday arrived, and Huayu Mobiles went on sale online, they sold out in just one second.
A bunch of users were almost spitting blood in frustration, it was like winning the lottery, impossible to snag one.
Not only did they have to compete with their fellow countrymen, but many Europeans also joined in the rush, as Europe only had five thousand units available per week, with a price tag of ten thousand euros!
The price was simply insane.
Just as the users were lamenting the limited quantity of phones, Huayu’s official site posted new information.
"Huayu Mobile’s upgraded version, Mystic-level phone, coming soon, priced at one hundred thousand yuan, stay tuned."
Upgrade? Mystic-level phone?
The whole crowd of users couldn’t process it, what on earth was Huayu Group’s strategy, just how strong were their tech capabilities.
Another upgrade? One hundred thousand yuan per phone? Huayu Group must be crazy!
But this time, there were no insults or doubts, only endless anticipation, wondering what kind of phone costs one hundred thousand yuan, how dare Huayu Group multiply the price tenfold?
Some users suddenly understood what the "Huang" character on the Huayu phone meant: Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, indicating the previous phone was only for the low-end.
Could it be Huayu Group has three more advanced phone models afterward? It’s truly insane, the internet was in an uproar, Huayu Group has really made a name for themselves this time.
It’s simply unimaginable how mysterious and extraordinary Huayu Group’s more advanced phones will be.
Amidst the online tumult, Ye Qingfeng had already left Huayu Group, making money wasn’t his goal, he was merely cultivating a power.
To facilitate gathering the herbs he needed, he believed that once Huayu Group became strong enough, perhaps those spiritual medicines or spirit stones could also be collected.
This was much easier than searching alone.
Ye Qingfeng’s destination was where Tian Shi discovered the waste spirit stone, a place capable of producing energy stones, surely there would be other good things there.
He wanted to give it a shot, enhancing his cultivation was the most important thing for him, everything else could wait.
Unfortunately, the discovery of the waste spirit stone happened too long ago, and Tian Shi couldn’t remember clearly, he could only tell Ye Qingfeng it was somewhere in the western part of the Eastern Base’s primordial forest.
That was during his younger days, found while on a trip with an expedition team.
Ye Qingfeng didn’t waste any time, whether he could find the place or not, he had to take a look.
Zhong Ming was left behind by Ye Qingfeng, specifically to protect Tian Shi, Ye Qingfeng had prepared a lot of upgraded medicine liquid for Zhong Ming, enough for continuous cultivation.
This medicine liquid was sufficient to support him up to the War General Level, but breaking through to the War General Level with just this medicine would certainly take many years.
Moreover, the suffering involved was beyond what ordinary people could endure.
With everything arranged, Ye Qingfeng left East River City that night.
Ye Qingfeng first flew out of Qingyun City, truth be told, Ye Qingfeng didn’t like flying; it didn’t give any sense of security.
If it really fell, he wouldn’t be able to save his life.
Ye Qingfeng took a bus towards Yanglong, a border area of Huaxia, bordering several small countries, in a virtually lawless zone, extremely chaotic.
Nonetheless, Yanglong was the closest city to the western primordial forest.
The road to Yanglong was very bumpy, winding, as if stepping into an uninhabited land.
Once on the bus, Ye Qingfeng closed his eyes to rest, seemingly unfazed by the bus’s bumps.
After the bus had been driving for two hours, it suddenly stopped, Ye Qingfeng didn’t open his eyes, he just extended his divine sense to perceive everything.
Ahead was a group of big men blocking the road, a total of nine people, all holding machetes, and Ye Qingfeng’s divine sense also detected the leader had a gun.
The passengers on the bus panicked instantly, how many ordinary people had seen such a scene? In this day and age, encountering a road robbery was unheard of.
"Everyone, don’t panic, they’re just after money, generally won’t harm lives. It’s just bad luck to encounter them, better get off and pay up obediently,"
The driver said from the front seat.
"Who are these people? Daring to rob on the highway, don’t the police do anything?" A passenger asked in horror.
"Who? Here’s the deal, just about to enter Yanglong, this is practically a lawless zone, even if police come, these people will just run into the hills. Once the police leave, they’ll come back and rob again. In short, here, it’s impossible to manage."
The driver shook his head and said, then opened the door.
The passengers resigned themselves, slowly heading down the bus, paying wasn’t a big deal, just hoped they wouldn’t hurt anyone.
In front of the bus, another Volkswagen was stopped by this group, soon a man and a woman stepped out.
"Fifty thousand per person, pay up and you can leave." The nine big men holding knives coldly looked at the pair.
"Okay, okay, I’ll pay, I’ll get the money right away, just don’t make a move."
The man from the Volkswagen was evidently petrified, hastily agreeing.
"Follow me, passing through costs twenty thousand, later we’ll together pay fifteen thousand each,"
In the back, the driver whispered to the descending passengers.
Many nodded, helplessly throwing money to save their lives, better to save five thousand than nothing.
Quickly, the man went back to the car to get the money, his hands trembling as he handed it to the lead big man.
"You can go," The big man abruptly snatched the money, waving the machete.
"Xiao Jing, we better leave, turn back and skip Yanglong, it’s too dangerous."
The man hastily said after getting into the car.
"I said you can go, didn’t say he could!" The big man smashed the machete onto the Volkswagen’s hood, letting out a leering laugh: "Long time since such a beauty passed by here, my brothers and I are almost impotent out of boredom. Kid, get lost, this woman stays to pleasure my brothers for a few days, then she’ll naturally be released."
The woman’s face turned pale abruptly, facing the thought of being left with these big men, the outcome was all too predictable.
