Chapter 409: Chapter 409: Cultivators Conference
The training over these six days, which seemed simple and dull, was vastly beneficial for everyone.
Each person could clearly feel a significant improvement in both their body and cultivation level.
Before this period, everyone’s cultivation level was generally at the ninth layer of the Condensation Realm, with not a single Cultivator in the Abstinence Realm.
In just six days, all seventeen of them had made a breakthrough, reaching the first level of the Abstinence Realm.
The tremendous effect not only shocked and delighted everyone, but even Cheng Dongliang was surprised.
He pondered privately that if he could spread this method of training throughout the entire army, it would certainly take the overall strength of Lu Province’s military to the next level.
On the seventh day, Li Xiaoyao was supervising everyone’s cultivation when a helicopter flew in from afar and landed nearby.
Cheng Dongliang got off the helicopter and quickly walked over, his expression solemn, as if something had happened.
“Xiaoyao, come here.”
Li Xiaoyao walked with him to a secluded spot, where Cheng Dongliang lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and said, “There’s been some trouble in Ling City.”
“What happened?”
“This weekend, at the shore of Xuan Ming Lake, the Cultivators’ Conference will officially be held!”
“Cultivators’ Conference? Something like the Ghost Market?”
Cheng Dongliang shook his head, “Different from the Ghost Market, which is just a gathering where Cultivators of this small circle in Ling City swap items. The Cultivators’ Conference will have participants from various cities. However, this time, only Cultivators who have received an invitation can attend.”
“Oh? What does that have to do with me?” Li Xiaoyao was not interested in such a conference.
Cheng Dongliang spoke seriously, “It involves you.”
“Hmm?”
“It’s said that Yun Feiyang is also among the invited.”
“Yun Feiyang?” Li Xiaoyao narrowed his eyes. Since the last time Yun Feiyang had escaped, this issue had been weighing on Li Xiaoyao’s mind.
Yun Feiyang was different from the others; for Li Xiaoyao, he was a threat. As long as he lived, Li Xiaoyao wouldn’t be at peace.
Li Xiaoyao asked, “Is it being held this weekend?”
“Yes.”
“Alright, I got it.”
“This time, the host of the Cultivators’ Conference is Yun Feiyang himself. He is gathering various powerful figures, and his likely goal is to deal with you.” Cheng Dongliang said with some concern, “Xiaoyao, in my opinion, peace is preferable. How about I mediate, and you two shake hands and make peace? After all, the strong figures attending this Cultivators’ Conference have quite a good relationship with Yun Feiyang. If they insist on dealing with you, it could be a considerable trouble.”
“No need.” Li Xiaoyao’s gaze sharpened as he said, “If you don’t remove the roots, the spring breeze will blow and bring them back to life. I, Li Xiaoyao, don’t like to leave loose ends.”
Hearing this, Cheng Dongliang did not try to persuade him further.
“The military district competition will be held in ten days, and by then, you’ll need to lead the team.”
“Alright, I got it.”
…
On the eleventh day, Jin Gang was the first to reach the qualifying line.
Li Xiaoyao took him to an uninhabited area for personal training, and the others who saw this scene were filled with envy.
At night, when Jin Gang returned to the camp, everyone gathered around him and asked, “What did Instructor Li teach you today?”
Jin Gang cracked a smile and said, “He taught me a set of martial arts moves and a method to circulate spiritual energy.”
Everyone enviously said, “Damn, Jin Gang, you are on the rise.”
“Heh, you guys have no idea. Instructor Li is simply not human,” Jin Gang said while motioning with his hands and feet. “Have you ever seen someone shatter a thousand-pound boulder with one finger? Instructor Li’s body is simply not like that of a human. I suspect he may have reached the limit of what a human body can achieve.”
“Is he really that amazing?”@@novelbin@@
Jin Gang turned serious and said, “Absolutely. Today, Instructor Li taught me the methods of circulating spiritual energy, and I realized that the cultivation techniques we practiced before were nothing compared to this. This method of circulating spiritual energy allows me to bring out the maximum strength of my body. Normally, I can exert a force of five hundred pounds, but through this method, I can exert a force of a thousand pounds.”
Everyone was shocked: “That’s too incredible. I need to speed up and reach the qualification line sooner so that I can get personal guidance from Instructor Li.”
In the following days, everyone gradually met the qualification line, and their cultivation levels all reached the second stage of the Abstinence Realm. But if we were talking about actual combat capability, they were definitely beyond the second stage of the Abstinence Realm. With Li Xiaoyao’s personal guidance, there was an extremely noticeable improvement in their combat abilities.
That day was the weekend.
On the training field, seventeen people were neatly lined up, standing tall and proud, their gazes filled with respect for Li Xiaoyao.
It was this young man who, in just a few short days, had raised their strength to an unprecedented level.
“No training today,” Li Xiaoyao announced, which made everyone a bit disappointed, but his next words piqued their interest again.
“Get changed into casual clothes and come with me. Today, I’ll let you witness what real cultivators are like.”
Half an hour later, everyone had changed into casual wear.
These guys rarely had time to go out and have fun, so their casual wear was the basic jeans with short-sleeved T-shirts. Fortunately, each of them had a fantastic physique, so even with such simple outfits, they could attract plenty of attention from women as they walked down the street.
“Let’s go.”
At Li Xiaoyao’s command, all seventeen of them boarded the helicopter.
Half an hour later, the helicopter landed on a huge grass field outside the expressway of Ling City, where five Land Rover off-road vehicles were already waiting.
Switching to the off-road vehicles, with Li Xiaoyao leading, the group drove towards the city center.
The Cultivators’ Conference was scheduled for noon, and when Li Xiaoyao and his crew arrived in the city center, it was only ten in the morning, a bit too early.
Thus, at Li Xiaoyao’s command, they turned around and headed for San Tiao Alley.
The San Tiao Alley of today was not what it used to be. With the help of Li Xiaoyao’s reputation, Zhao Ge had become the most influential man in Ling City’s underground world.
However, Zhao Ge didn’t let it get to his head; he still adhered to the bottom line set by Li Xiaoyao from the beginning, absolutely avoiding gambling, drugs, and prostitution.
It could be said that the rules set by Li Xiaoyao created a self-governing order in Ling City’s entire underground world, an order that no one dared to violate.
When Li Xiaoyao arrived at the bar with his group, the bartender thought trouble was brewing and was about to call security, but Hu Fei, sitting at the back of the bar, recognized him and immediately came over, respectfully saying, “Director Li, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen you.”
“Hmm,” Li Xiaoyao nodded. He occasionally contacted Zhao Ge, who had told him about Hu Fei’s good performance recently, which seemed to confirm that his decision to keep Hu Fei had been the right one.
Li Xiaoyao said to Jin Gang and the others, “Have a seat. This bar is mine, order whatever you want to drink.”
Jin Gang and the others weren’t surprised at all; it was normal for a powerful cultivator like Li Xiaoyao to have substantial assets. It would have been strange if he were penniless.
