Chapter 1454: Big Problem
The Netherspirit Battlescouter revealed Chen Xiaobei's latest cultivation development.
Ding -
[Cultivation: Middle phase of Celestial Cultivation; Lifespan: 70 years; Health: 149,000; Combat power: 113,700]
"Five days - that's 120 hours. Which meant it's 100 health and 100 combat power every hour! That means each has increased by 12,000!" Chen Xiaobei calculated excitedly. "That way, whenever I use the Primordial Witch King Combat Enhancement Training Manual, my combat power could reach up to 147,810! It was good decision to eat that two Five-stars Spiritual Instruments last time. My health can now support the full discharge, and I won't lose any excess combat power! That means my health and combat power are beyond the 130,000 combat power of the pinnacle phase of Celestial Cultivation! I can fight anyone below Ethereal Cultivation! Awesome!"
You reap what you sow. The result of cultivating for five days had Chen Xiaobei floating on cloud 9.
More importantly, Chen Xiaobei's actual combat power was very close to 130,000. Once he reached this peak, he could take the Skybreaking Cultivation Pill and break through to Ethereal Cultivation!
Once he breaks through, Chen Xiaobei would become the number one prodigy under the age of 30 in Northern Wilderness that no one could ever hope to surpass!
Wenren Muyue appeared at the mouth of the cave to inform Chen Xiaobei.
Mr. Chen! The rescue spacecrafts are here! We can leave now!"
She had donned on a very casual outfit, and appeared very relaxed. The expression on her face was one of elation, and on her lips hung a smile that could captivate an entire nation's attention.
"Alright! I'm coming!" Chen Xiaobei got up and walked out of the cave.
Outside, the scene had Chen Xiaobei flabbergasted.
One by one, modern, advanced-looking spacecrafts descended from above.
The spacecrafts were so big that when you looked up, they looked like islands floating in the vast ocean.
Wenren Muyue was stood next to Chen Xiaobei. "These are space motherships! It is actually a trump-card killing machine used for cosmic battle. But because there are too many people to evacuate, they have all been deployed here!"
"Space mothership?" Chen Xiaobei swallowed. "A mothership like this could carry up to ten thousand people, right?"
Wenren Muyue shook her head. "It can carry 30,000 people and a small combat aircraft!"
"Wow! That's incredible!" Chen Xiaobei exclaimed. "A mothership like this, carrying 30,000 elites, can easily sweep across an entire planet!"
"That will depend on which planet it is." Wenren Muyue smiled. "Let's go! It's almost boarding time for the people of Silver Plume planet!"
"Okay!" Chen Xiaobei nodded, and then popped a question casually, "Do you know how to get a spaceship that can travel across the universe?"
Wenren Muyue thought for awhile and then said, "The Temple monopolizes all of the combat spaceships. Regular people don't have access to them! You can buy ordinary transportation spacecrafts in Divine Cloud Planet but they are very expensive, and require a lot of Spiritual Stones for fuel! I don't even think the richest nobles could afford it! That's why, in the Northern Wilderness Starfield, the universal spacecrafts are used almost exclusively for commercial transportation! Most people choose to travel using portals!"
Chen Xiaobei's palm began to sweat. "How many Spiritual Stones does one small spaceship cost?"
"Other than the size, the speed will also determine the price!" Wenren Muyue said. "From what I know, the smallest and slowest old model of spaceship costs 10 million low-grade Spiritual Stones! Every flight will burn about 10,000 low-grade Spiritual Stones!"
"No way..." Chen Xiaobei's forehead was practically dripping with sweat when he heard this.
He remembered how, during the auction previously, the richest noble families in Silver Plume city only had 6 million liquidable low-grade Spiritual Stones at their disposal!
Even though they had ways to earn more Spiritual Stones, they would never spend up to 10 million on the smallest and oldest model of spaceship!
Chen Xiaobei wanted to get one for himself but he only had three million low-grade Spiritual Stones. He could not afford it!
Ding!
Suddenly, Chen Xiaobei's notified him of an incoming message. It was not from the Three Realms group, but a normal text.
Zhu Dachang: Mr. Chen, do not come near the spacecraft! Something happened!
Ding!
Wenren Muyue received a message as well.
Miao Yiyue: Muyue, is Mr. Chen done cultivating? Don't come here! Something happened!"
"Mr. Chen, look at this..." Wenren Muyue showed the message to Chen Xiaobei, a worried look on her face.
"It's nothing. Let's just go!" Chen Xiaobei shrugged nonchalantly.
"No!" Wenren Muyue said nervously. "Bro Yiyue said that even the young governor could not control the situation over there! Something big must have happened!"
"Don't worry. It's just a small thing! There's no need to get worked up." Chen Xiaobei continued ahead.
"Does that mean you know what is happening over there?" Wenren Muyue studied him.
"It's very simple!" Chen Xiaobei looked back at her. "I saved everyone but killed Lu Changwei! They warned us not to go, probably because the Lu Family are causing a nuisance!"
"Oh..." Wenren Muyue's widended with a sudden realization. "It looks like the rest of the world found out about everything that has happened within these five days! The Lu Family has always been overbearing and hate being at a disadvantage. They had just lost their family heir... they would never let this matter go!"
"No matter." Chen Xiaobei shrugged, not slowing his footsteps.
"Mr. Chen! Why are you still walking over there? Stop!" Weren Muyue pulled Chen Xiaobei back. "The Lu family is looking for trouble. If you go there now, you'd be walking into the lion's den!"
"Don't worry, I'm no sheep and the Lus are not worthy to be called lions! They can't eat me!" Chen Xiaobei appeared calm and composed as if he already knew what was going to happen.
"How is that possible?" Wenren Muyue did not believe him at all. But Chen Xiaobei had increased his pace, and all she could do was catch up with him.
The spaceship picking up Silver Plume citizens was resting on the spacious land.
More than 10,000 Silver Plume citizens had gathered outside the spaceship.
Before them stood a group of angry looking middle-aged men. Their auras were so powerful that the people around could feel the suffocation from it.
Obviously, they were the core members of the Lu Family who came rushing over when they caught wind of the death of Lu Changwei.
Their leader was none other than the master of the family, Lu Mingjun!
