Chapter 438: 438: Stealing something right under my nose?

"It seems that this time, Peak Master Zhan and his team made quite a haul during their planet exploration; 48 Core Formation cultivators were born in one go."

In the meeting room of the Angsa Force, Singh, who was already at the Late-stage Foundation Establishment, was somewhat interested and asked the subordinate below, "What does Peak Master Zhan say? Is he willing to sell Core Formation Pills?"

The subordinate shook their head, "He says he is not short on money."

David’s eyes lit up, "This means that Zhan Shijie must still have some Core Formation Pills to spare."

Meilong Family Head sighed, "Earth’s currency is hardly attractive to cultivators now, and we don’t have any other magical treasures either, otherwise, we would definitely be able to exchange for those Core Formation Pills."

In addition to lamenting the scarcity of cultivation resources they possessed, those present couldn’t hide their desire for the elixir and their aspiration for advancement in their realms.

They too had reached the later stages of Foundation Establishment.

They realized that their spiritual sea seemed to have hit a plateau in its capacity for spiritual power.

It meant that no matter how many Spirit Stones they consumed, it was in vain; they had to break through a major realm to free up more space in their spiritual sea.

Otherwise, they would be forever stuck at this realm, waiting for their natural lifespan to deplete until they perished!

Yet the path of cultivation is most challenging when breaking through each major realm.

The difficulty of each breakthrough is no less daunting than a scientist overcoming barriers in scientific research.

If not for the guidance of elixirs, out of tens of millions of people, perhaps not a single one could cross over a major realm solely by their remarkable comprehension.

A cultivator who could break through a major bottleneck with their comprehension alone was truly a one-in-a-million genius.

Equivalent to those demon-level geniuses in scientific history capable of revolutionary scientific breakthroughs!

However, such remarkable figures in human scientific history were few and far in the documented records.

Even if they existed, a scientific genius might dedicate their entire life to conquering a single technology. In other words, your cultivation journey involves overcoming countless major realms, and you cannot possibly spend seventy or eighty years on understanding each realm, right?

So, if there is an elixir to aid the process, no one would want to make things difficult for themselves!

Singh asked another subordinate who was reporting, "Still haven’t found out which planet Peak Master Zhan and his team visited?"

This was very important for them.

They planned to form their own groups to explore other planets in search of more resources, but they were also wary of the complexity and dangers of the cosmos; hence they wanted to use the planet explored by Zhan Shijie and his team as a reference for comparison.

And they were curious whether Old King Ale’s delayed return had to do with obtaining a secret technique inheritance?

If that was the case, once they obtained the planetary information, they would follow and attempt to seize it!

The subordinate shook their head, "Neither other countries nor the neutral intelligence forces have received any precise information about the planet."

The Texas Consortium Family Head proposed impatiently, "Why don’t we try exploring other planets ourselves?"

David agreed, "If all else fails, we can indeed just take a look at the planets in three-dimensional space, avoiding the ones marked by the Cosmic Transmission Company as being in four-dimensional space."

Those who shared this idea included powers from Europe, East Middle, South America, Central Asia, and other cultivator factions.

Even some Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators, having seen Core Formation experts in the Arena, were enticed by the news of Zhan Shijie and others’ astonishing discoveries.

Thus, from big families to loose cultivators, all were attempting to make connections and plan an outing for an adventure.

It might be the first time many of Earth’s cultivators spontaneously prepared to venture to various planets. For safety, they specially visited some of those who had gone on the initial exploration trips.

Since they could not meet Zhan Shijie,

They could only see Chen Guang and Wang Qiang in the Arena to inquire about what they should pay attention to when exploring foreign planets.

Seeing that they were not asking for free but offering Spirit Stones in exchange, Chen Guang became their consultant, "If you want to pioneer these planets and you come across a secret realm, it’s best to bring an Array Master. If there are prohibitions or traps, martial power won’t break them."

Meanwhile, the recently elusive Zhan Shijie heard that his junior and senior brothers had run off to complain to the Peak Master’s wife.

Which gave him quite a scare.

These bastards just can’t stand the heat, can they?

He earned that money fair and square, so why should he return it?

Of course, if it really came down to their mother getting involved, he would still play it cool.

So, he made a special trip to Shencheng City to find his junior martial sister Eileen and the youngest, Huo Yi.

He treated them to a meal and brought them elixirs, casually probing for their mother’s attitude on the matter.

First, he took out two Core Formation Pills he had prepared and handed them to Eileen and Huo Yi.

"Eileen, has our mother mentioned me recently?"

Eileen and Huo Yi had initially not wanted to accept the elixirs, but Zhan Shijie said, "Take them. They are from your senior uncle; all your senior martial brothers and sisters have one each, and I’ve specially brought yours."

Realizing this, Eileen and Huo Yi accepted the elixirs.

The unaware Huo Yi asked, "Senior brother, what kind of elixirs are these?"

Zhan Shijie: "They’re for breaking through to Core Formation."

Huo Yi, still young and ignorant of the elixir’s true value, just pretended to understand and went ’Oh.’

Eileen’s eyes sparkled as she said, "A few days ago, Guo Chao and the others did come to complain about you, senior brother Zhan, but our mother didn’t say anything."

Zhan Shijie: "Then... has she discussed this matter with our senior uncle?"

Eileen shook her head, "I don’t know about that. I haven’t seen our senior uncle in the last few days."

The teacher wasn’t there?

Zhan Shijie’s heart suddenly eased, and his mood immediately brightened.

"Alright, if you two junior sisters ever need my help in the future, just give me a call," Zhan Shijie decided it was still important to get along well with these two young ladies. Now that there were no go-betweens for his parents, and since they were the ones serving by their side, he would have to rely on them in the future if he needed direct access to them.

After the meal, they all went their separate ways.

Little did they know, someone had been stealthily following Eileen and Huo Yi from the restaurant.

Once Zhan Shijie left, he began to approach Eileen.

Just moments ago, at a corner of the restaurant, this cultivator keenly overheard Zhan Shijie tell Huo Yi about "breaking through to Core Formation," and had since paid close attention to Eileen and Huo Yi.

This was a cultivator at the peak of Qi Refining!

He, who had always been attempting to break through to Foundation Establishment, could barely contain his greed upon hearing the words "Core Formation Pill."

Seeing that they were just two young girls, he decided to kill and rob!

Even though this was Shencheng City, teeming with a mix of all manner of experts, he couldn’t care less.

Once he broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, even if he was hunted down by the girls’ family, he could flee to outer space and live as a wanderer. After all, the stage for a Foundation Establishment cultivator lay on foreign planets—two birds with one stone!

But he underestimated newly advanced Core Formation cultivator Zhan Shijie’s sensitivity to the movements of the cultivators around him!

The moment this plunderer was about to make a move on Eileen and Huo Yi in the parking lot, a flying sword severed the man’s arm!

"Trying to steal under my watch? Are you tired of living?"

Zhan Shijie flew above, hands clasped behind him, looking down from on high at the late-stage Qi Refining expert with eyes cold and fierce.

It was he who had called out his two junior sisters. If this guy had his way, and they lost even a single strand of hair, how could he explain it to their mother?

"Junior sisters, you two don’t need to worry about this, leave it to your senior brother," Zhan Shijie didn’t want the young girls to witness certain sights.

Eileen quickly pulled Huo Yi into the car and they drove away.

The cultivator with the severed arm was already terrified and begged on his knees, "Senior, I temporarily lost my way, please spare me!"

Before he could finish, Zhan Shijie’s flying sword had already pierced the man’s throat!
