Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl - Chapter 714

Chapter 714: Chapter 714: Where is My Cultivation?
 

Jiang Xiaobai had previously given them three days’ notice.

Yet it’s only the first day and representatives from three factions had already come seeking an audience.

It was proof enough that his plan was working.

Jiang Xiaobai quickly arranged to meet with them.

“Greetings, Young Master Jiang!”

The representatives from the three factions all showed great respect towards Jiang Xiaobai.

They had no choice. This bastard was simply too capable.

They had to compromise.

“You guys are here to offer apologies, right?” Jiang Xiaobai grinned and extended his hand. “Where’s the money?”

The representatives from the three factions twitched at the corners of their mouths.

As expected, this guy was indeed a greedy one.

But that was fine. After all, all the factions that had paid Jiang Xiaobai were safe and sound up to this point.

As long as they stopped getting in his way.

And so, three storage rings were presented.

“Young Master Jiang, our past actions were all just misunderstandings, and we have now realized the seriousness of the situation. We ask for your forgiveness.”

“From now on, we promise, we will never antagonize Young Master Jiang. Our factions will always keep a respectful distance from wherever you are.”

The leader of the representatives said deferentially.

His sincerity and humility were as if they truly regarded Jiang Xiaobai as a powerful figure.

Jiang Xiaobai merely scoffed internally. He was very clear that his current measures were not enough to earn him the respect of these people.

Not even enough to eliminate their hostility.

It was just that they had no way of dealing with him at present. They were simply compromising!

But as long as things continued this way, these factions would come to truly fear him.

“Since it’s like this, then fine, but you guys will probably not see me around often.”

With a wave of his hand, Jiang Xiaobai abruptly dismissed them.

The representatives of the three factions departed without causing any stir since they had arrived discreetly as well.

Jiang Xiaobai looked through the storage rings in his hands before securely tucking them away.

Fifteen million medium-quality immortal stones.

Even though this amount of wealth seemed immense to outsiders, to Jiang Xiaobai, it was barely enough.

His cultivation used up too much resources.

Indeed, everything in this world comes with a price.

To rapidly increase strength, a massive amount of resources was needed.

The way of the world was fair in some aspects.

After some thought, Jiang Xiaobai took out a piece of Primordial Essence.

Narrowing his eyes at it, he wondered whether or not he should absorb it.

If he could complete the trial mission without a fight, even the temporary absence of enmity from these factions would be enough!

Because by then, his Kunpeng Swallowing Sky Skill would advance a grade.

Then he would spend eight million points to advance it once more.

The effects of the absorption then would be terrifying!

Thus, he could bring the Primordial Essence into full play without wasting any of it.

However, the problem in the God Of War Space was quite a headache.

“Screw it, I’ll take a taste.”

Jiang Xiaobai decided not to think about these issues and started the absorption process.

If he knew the consequences of absorbing this Primordial Essence, he would never have done it at this time!

Unfortunately, it was already too late!

Under the terrifying effect of the Kunpeng Swallowing Sky Skill, an entire piece of Primordial Essence was absorbed within just two breaths.

Through continuous purification and extraction, the purest essence was transformed into Jiang Xiaobai’s strength.

Letting out a long breath, Jiang Xiaobai’s complexion was rosy.

“Damn, this thing is potent. Just one piece of Primordial Essence gave me this much boost. It’s comparable to me absorbing tens of millions of medium-grade immortal stones!”

He was overjoyed!

If this kept up, he could reach the peak of the Great Achievement stage even just by using a few hundred pieces of Primordial Essence!

For a moment, Jiang Xiaobai became excited and was preparing to use more pieces of Primordial Essence to increase his strength.

But the next second, he passed out.

…

When he woke up, it was already five days later!

Jiang Xiaobai held his head, looking dazedly at the people in front of him.

“What did you do, what the hell did you do!”

Huo Shuyu shouted worriedly at Jiang Xiaobai: “Do you have any idea how scared I was?”

“I didn’t do anything…”

Jiang Xiaobai was confused: “How long have I been unconscious, and why the heck did I faint?”

“Five days!”

Huo Shuyu said, clutching Jiang Xiaobai’s wrist and checking it for quite a while.

Jiang Xiaobai was just as bewildered.

Five days?

How many things had he missed during this period!

He tried to get up, but Huo Shuyu pressed on his shoulder.

“Don’t rush, all the factions have already handed over the money, so you just need to rest easy for now.”

“But aside from that, you should be more concerned about yourself.”

As Huo Shuyu spoke, there was a hint of surprise in his tone.

To one side, Jian Shisan and others also wore a confused look, as if they’d seen something astonishing.

“Haha, what’s with the faces you all are making? Don’t tell me I lost my arms or legs while I was unconscious?”

Jiang Xiaobai chuckled lightly.

However, he noticed that none of their expressions had changed; they had just become more solemn.

He immediately felt a chill in his heart.

Could it be that he really did lose an arm or a leg?

Immediately, he examined himself, fortunately, everything was intact.

Well, all his legs were still there!

But the next second, he was stunned.

“Damn it, where is my cultivation level!”

Jiang Xiaobai exclaimed, immediately jumping up.

His strength had fallen from Peak Tribulation Transcendence down to Early Tribulation Transcendence!

He grabbed his hair in desperation, his mind a whirlwind.

“Can someone explain to me, what the hell just happened!”

“Why the hell did my strength regress!”

This huge shock was too much for him to bear.

In this world, strength was everything!

If his strength declined, he’d be for nothing!

“So I said, what did you do!”

Huo Shuyu eyed Jiang Xiaobai critically: “Did you get poisoned?”

“How could that be possible? What kind of poison could cause one’s cultivation level to regress?”

Jian Shisan shook his head: “Brother Jiang, think carefully, what happened at that time?”

“During these past few days when you were unconscious, your cultivation aura was continuously regressing. We watched helplessly as it became what it is now.”

This was indeed a serious matter!

Jiang Xiaobai was the backbone of their little group, his strength was the foundation!

If it wasn’t for Jiang Xiaobai, this group of people would never have gathered together.

Off to the side, Gu Wanqing also arched her brows: “Your situation is quite special, I’ve never seen anything like it. But one thing I know, though your cultivation level regressed, your aura didn’t.”

Everyone nodded in agreement with this point.

Jiang Xiaobai squinted his eyes, “That day, all I did was absorb a piece of Primordial Essence, nothing else.”

“And it seems like, I passed out not long after absorbing it…”

“Was it the Primordial Essence?”

As soon as he said this, everyone became puzzled.

They all shook their heads, indicating that it was impossible!

Of course, who has ever heard of one’s cultivation level regressing as a result of absorbing Primordial Essence?

For a moment, Jiang Xiaobai’s head felt like it was about to explode.

He immediately asked the system about it in his mind.

Surprisingly, the system actually responded.

“Please prepare, Host.”

“Huh? Prepare for what?”

Jiang Xiaobai was stunned.

The very next second, his cultivation level shot up to Peak Fusion!

He was flabbergasted!
