The fury within his heart had reached an all-time high, and he really wanted to vent it out!
“Humph, just you all wait and see!”
Letting out an indignant snort, Xiao Wuwei led his followers away from the altar. He wanted to vent his anger, wanted to challenge someone to a one-on-one duel, and wanted to show no mercy. Only in this way could he ease the frustration in his heart.
Upon seeing Xiao Wuwei leave in a huff, Jiang Xiaobai scoffed dismissively.
“What a useless individual. If it weren’t for his status as the Third Prince, I would’ve killed him many times over by now,”
“I have plenty of ways to handle you, each capable of killing you easily.”
Jiang Xiaobai’s voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and was heard by many. One by one, they felt chills run down their spines. They stepped back, wanting nothing to do with Jiang Xiaobai
They fear that his wrath would spill over onto them, and that would be bad luck!
Xiao Yuwei was already accustomed to Jiang Xiaobai’s behaviour. However, she heaved a sigh within her heart and chose not to bother about him.
Time passed slowly, and nightfall came once again.
Xiao Wuwei hadn’t shown up since he left, but AnRan had returned with good news of his own.
“Boss, let me tell you, this time the effect was excellent! Look at this, how ‘s that for a harvest?”
AnRan took Jiang Xiaobai to a secluded place and handed him a storage ring.
Jiang Xiaobai glanced at it and was secretly shocked.
“Wow, fatty, what did you do, rob the whole area? Where did you get so much essence? And the spirit stones and treasures, where did they come from?”
AnRan laughed and said, “To be honest, boss, I used a little trick.”
“I told them that the amount of Frenzy Demon Stones I had was limited and that each person could only buy a maximum of ten. They weren’t happy at first, but when I threatened to destroy all the stones if anyone protested, they all complied.”
“And guess what? Not only did they comply, but soon after, some decided they needed more and bought with even bigger offerings.”
“I used every trick in the book to squeeze them dry!”
After listening to AnRan’s plan, Jiang Xiaobai was left stunned.
This play where scarcity of a product is made up to inflate the price, this fatty surely has a talent in business! This terrifying business acumen of his, he could have made it big if he wasn’t cultivating!
“Boss, don’t get too excited just yet, there’s more to it.”
AnRan smiled again, “I told them they could earn one free Frenzy Demon Stone for each person they referred to me. If they could refer ten people, I would give them an extra one.”
“We agreed to meet at the same place tomorrow. This way, we could have an even bigger harvest!”
As soon as AnRan finished speaking, Jiang Xiaobai gave him a thumbs-up.
“Impressive! Fatso, who would have known that you had such an impressive talent for business? Why risk your life on adventures instead of making more money?”
At this, AnRan’s excited expression dimmed.
“In this world, every cultivator longs to become stronger. My father said my talents were not bad. If I were to not use them, it would be a waste.”
“My father also said that if I didn’t go out and see the wider world, my cultivation would be in vain.”
“I want to become stronger too, that’s why I’m following you, Boss. I know that with you, not only can I see a broader world, but I can also gain more thrilling experiences.”
Perhaps the real reason why he decided to wander around was not this, but Jiang Xiaobai knew that AnRan also wanted to get stronger.
He patted AnRan’s shoulder, “Don’t worry, with me leading the way, we will both benefit. Once we get out of this secret realm, you will at least have reached the middle phase of Transcendence, maybe even the late phase.”
“Yes, I believe in that too. Because of the intense battles lately, I can feel that my realm has improved a lot.”
AnRan nodded in agreement.
Sometimes, opportunities were strange. A break through in cultivation that could take a lifetime, might only take a few days in certain situations.
Inside the Mad Demon Secret Land, many opportunities to improve one’s cultivation status abound.
“Boss, you should take it slow with your cultivation, I need some room to catch up,” AnRan murmured.
“Rest assured, my cultivation speed will not be much faster than yours.”
Jiang Xiaobai said with a bitter smile.
Joking apart, after entering the initial phase of Transcendence, his cultivation speed had slowed significantly. It was uncertain whether he could progress to the Dividing the Gods phase within one year.
“No matter, it is always useful to have more opportunities!” Jiang Xiaobai reassured.
However, he quickly turned to AnRan, “Fatty, your business strategy might attract the wrong kind of attention. I’ll accompany you tomorrow to ensure your safety.”
“Also, if possible, get the word out about the Frenzy Demon Stones’ sale. Make sure Xiao Wuwei hears it.”
AnRan was momentarily taken aback, but quickly understood Jiang Xiaobai’s intentions.
This was clearly setting up a trap for Xiao Wuwei!
“I will take care of things. You can rest assured! ”
“Good!”
When the morning came, Jiang Xiaobai and AnRan continued watching the battle. Xiao Wuwei hadn’t returned, and Xiao Ruyu entered the third secret realm. After she came out, she left directly. It was unclear whether she had passed or not.
Given that she didn’t seem to be planning on blocking any of the other royal successors, one could guess that she had passed. Currently, she had the highest score among the royal successors.
Even if something were to happen, her ranking wouldn’t fall too far behind. So she was likely looking for other opportunities now.
Today, noticeably fewer people were around the altar secret realm. It was unclear whether they were killed in the chaotic battle or decided to abandon their efforts.
Among the people coming and going, Jiang Xiaobai paid no mind, simply waiting leisurely for the task to end.
Nearing the afternoon, Zhuang Huanling led the Jade Top Mountain team back. All of them looked disheveled, and many of the disciples even had injuries on them.
Upon their return, Zhuang Huanling came to find Jiang Xiaobai. Seeing this, Xiao Yuwei furrowed her eyebrows.
“What does she want with you?”
“Oh? Are you getting jealous?”
Jiang Xiaobai laughed. “Is she not allowed to come and see me?”

Seeing Jiang Xiaobai’s shameless attitude, Xiao Yuwei was so angry, she let out a cold huff and ignored him.
Afterward, Jiang Xiaobai and Zhuang Huanling walked to a secluded location.
“Everything is here. On our last trip out, we were pretty lucky and got quite a lot of good stuff. I thought I’d come and ask if you want to buy more.”
Zhuang Huanling tossed a storage ring to Jiang Xiaobai, then reached out her hand, her eyes expectant.
“Where are the Frenzy Demon Stones? Hand them over; this miss needs them urgently.”
