Chapter 1119: Chapter 1120: The Whereabouts of the Ten Thousand Years Cold-Inviting Immortal Plant
“Immortal Longxue has met the two seniors, both so noble and benevolent. Just now in the arena, you stood up for what’s right and defended the name of human race cultivators. I deeply admire that.”
Immortal Longxue saluted Yitilou and Yan Zuzi with a fist and palm salute, and anyone with eyes could tell that these two old men were no ordinary folks, not to be taken lightly, let alone the fact that they had come with Li Xiaobai, their identity and background were definitely not simple.
“So this is the little brother’s wife, indeed as beautiful as a flower. Truly a couple of talents and beauty, a match made by heaven!”
Yitilou’s eyes roamed as he stared boldly, making Longxue feel quite uncomfortable all over.
“I thought Immortal Longxue was born to marry our young friend. All these Dragon Race members, even Long Aotian, must step aside!”
Yan Zuzi stroked his beard and agreed deeply.
Li Xiaobai, smiling, handed over two packs of Huazi, “Thanks for your kind words, seniors. I’ll certainly not let you down.”
“Heh heh, you’re welcome, you’re welcome.”
Both old men grabbed the Huazi and, like thieves, looked around before carefully hiding it in their pockets.
“Who does the gentleman think will be the ultimate victor in this martial arts tournament?”
Longxue blinked and turned to ask Li Xiaobai and the others.
Li Xiaobai sat down next to her with a proud look, “Looking at the world today, the only one worthy to be the husband of an Immortal is none other than myself!”
Longxue’s face lit up with laughter, “Then, who among the upstarts below do you see as the biggest threat?”
Li Xiaobai said, “They’re all nobodies, for lack of a better phrase, everyone down there is trash!”
“Gentleman’s so domineering!”
“The Immortal looks a bit haggard.”
“…”
“Alright, alright, enough with the lovey-dovey talk. We have plenty of time for that later. We’re all here, let’s drop the pretense and quickly figure out how to take the younger sister away.”
Liu Jinshui said, cursing under his breath.
“That’s obvious, isn’t it? We’ll just have Xiaobai win the tournament and then walk out of here with all the glory.”
Su Yunbing spoke carelessly.
“Sister, you’re as clumsy as ever. Anyone can see that Ice Dragon Island intends to marry our sister off to that Long Aotian. It’s a foregone conclusion. Even if Xiaobai wins the final competition, it’s not guaranteed that we can take her away.”
Ye Wushuang spoke blandly.
Su Yunbing erupted with killing intent, “Then let’s just take out Long Aotian. We can’t finish the tournament battles in a day anyway. If we can’t fight him in the arena today, we can just dig a pit and bury him later. Simple and easy.”
Ye Wushuang covered her face and chuckled, “Sister, you’ve become even more impulsive. No wonder men don’t like you. We need to apply wisdom in everything; brawn without brains won’t get you far in the Cultivation World.”
“Sister seems a bit too pleased with herself lately, must be the advancement in cultivation causing instability in your nature. Maybe sister needs to snap a few bones to rid you of this impetuous energy?”
Su Yunbing’s eyes narrowed, a hint of killing intent spreading as the people around expressed speechlessness. The senior and second senior sisters have always been at odds, always competing over femininity, with the senior sister invariably on the losing end, somewhat tragic honestly.
Yitilou and Yan Zuzi were indeed quite interested, their gazes repeatedly sweeping back and forth over the group. They could tell that these geniuses from the super sects, as described by Li Xiaobai, were those special chosen ones who didn’t need to cultivate deliberately but could instantly skyrocket in strength with cultivation levels advancing rapidly, like traveling a thousand miles in a day. They could enter a whole new world in the blink of an eye, exactly like the prodigies that emerged out of nowhere in their time.
Just as proud and ambitious, just as stunningly talented, but still, they couldn’t discern any issues with these people. Perhaps, only when they vanished like comets could the truth be truly understood.
“Ahem, there’s always a way out when you get to the mountain, and the bridge will straighten when the ship reaches it. Let’s first look at the competition schedule, and besides, aren’t there two seniors here as well? What’s there to fear?”
“Indeed, this tournament is set for our junior brother to win. If Ice Dragon Island fails to keep their promise, then the fault lies with them,” Yang Chen and Ling Feng said slowly.

“Speaking of which, since this is a matchmaking competition, shouldn’t Ice Dragon Island prepare a dowry?”
“Why not have your master prepare some fine treasures?” Liu Jinshui seemed to have suddenly thought of something and asked.
“Of course, among the dowry items is a Ten Thousand Years Cold-Inviting Immortal Strain Plant. This treasure is immensely valuable for those who cultivate Frost Qi. Even without ingesting it for cultivation, merely carrying it with oneself greatly aids in focusing the mind and cultivation,”
“With this, there are no fears of any inner demons on the journey of cultivation,” Immortal Longxue said, smiling faintly.
At these words, while others hadn’t reacted, Li Xiaobai’s body jolted suddenly. The Ten Thousand Years Cold-Inviting Immortal Strain Plant! This was one of the two ingredients needed for the System Defense to advance to Semi-Saint level. Apart from needing a hundred billion Attribute Points, he also needed the Ten Thousand Years Cold-Inviting Immortal Strain Plant and the Blood Sun Heavenly Egg. He hadn’t expected to get the first ingredient so easily.
“However, whether you can ultimately obtain this item depends on your own skill. If you don’t come out on top, you won’t be able to take me away from Ice Dragon Island,” Immortal Longxue said, as if perceiving Li Xiaobai’s desire, she winked playfully.
Regaining his composure, Li Xiaobai laughed heartily, “Haha, don’t worry, my dear, I have set my sights on that dowry!”
On the platform below, the competition went on as usual, with the number of prodigies sharply declining. After witnessing the previous four matches, over half the disciples directly chose to abstain, while others unwilling to forfeit had their family’s elders stand up to abstain for them.
There was no way around it; the platform was too dangerous. Four matches, four dead, even the Semi-Saints who went up were done for. It was as if anyone who went onto that cursed platform would die. They didn’t dare gamble nor could they afford to. After all, Immortal Longxue wasn’t destined to be theirs, so why risk their lives for a mere spar?
Seated atop a stone pillar, the Great Elder’s expression became increasingly gloomy. With so many disciples gone, only those of considerable strength remained. The Cannon fodder to expend these strong contenders and make winning easier for his own disciples was no longer there. It seemed impossible to see them injured to secure an easy victory. Invisibly, the difficulty of Long Aotian reaching the finals had risen again.
Damn it, how could so many tricks and ploys come into play in an ordinary competition?
What chaos did the Sea Clan come here to stir?
Why did several super sects choose to release their hidden talents?
Did they all want to share a piece of Ice Dragon Island’s pie?
The tournament process was not long, hardly taking two hours for the first round of the platform competition to reach its end. The final participant to emerge was Long Aotian, and his opponent was the weakest one picked out by the Great Elder among the crowd.
He looked unimposing and had a weak aura, and was effortlessly knocked to the ground by Long Aotian.
This time, more than ten people advanced to the semi-finals. In two more rounds, the champion would almost certainly be decided.
However, to ensure Long Aotian could smoothly reach the end, he still had to think carefully and strategize.
Considering this, the Great Elder murmured a few words to the Island Master and then stood up to announce loudly, “Today, all of you have fought bravely and must be somewhat weary. Let’s stop here, please return and rest up. Tomorrow, at morning hour, we shall continue the battle on the platform!”
