Everyone Is Cultivating Supernatural Powers, Why Am I The Only One Cultivating Immortality?
Chapter 40 Traveling Together
Several people were eating and chatting. Although Awei seemed unwilling to engage, Ajie and Ailin were quite talkative.
"So, are you heading to the Black Wolf Cave to harvest the Purple Spirit Crystal?" Jiang Li asked, taking a bite of roasted rabbit leg.
"Yes, originally the mission had a time limit of only ten days, but someone's delay has made it even more pressing," Awei said, wearing a displeased expression, as if he wanted to write "hurry up and leave" on his face.
Jiang Li pondered for a moment and then said, "How about this, to repay your kindness these past few days, I'll go with you, and I won't take any share of the Purple Spirit Crystal."
Upon hearing this, the three of them looked at Jiang Li with strange expressions.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Jiang Li asked, puzzled.
"Well... is it really appropriate?" Ailin was the first to speak, but her sheepish expression made Jiang Li feel like there was more to her words.
"Alright, I'll just say it." Ajie, who was sitting beside them, couldn't bear it any longer.
"We appreciate your kindness, but your strength is not enough. If you come with us, you'll only be a burden."
Huh? Not strong enough? Jiang Li was stunned. How did these three know about his strength?
These three individuals were not good at controlling their aura. From the aura of blood and energy they exuded, they were between Transcendent 7th and Transcendent 8th levels.
He himself was a half-step into Foundation Building, and once his injuries healed, he could immediately reach Foundation Building in a safe place. He never expected to be rejected.
"In this kind of grassland with only Level 1 exotic beasts, you've suffered such serious injuries," Awei said with an expression of disbelief. "Although it's not pleasant to hear, with this level of ability, I really can't think of any other use for you besides being a burden."
"And if you get injured again and delay us for a few days, then we really won't be able to complete this mission," Ailin added.
So that's how it is. They judged my strength based on my injuries, Jiang Li realized.
"Don't worry about that. My injuries were purely accidental and had nothing to do with the nearby exotic beasts," Jiang Li explained seriously.
At this point, Jiang Li deliberately leaked about twenty percent of his blood and energy.
Instantly, a red blood aura formed a whirlwind blowing in all directions.
"Miss, be careful!" Awei and Ajie both spoke at the same time.
The next moment, their hands were already on the swords at their waists, looking at Jiang Li with serious expressions.
The atmosphere became tense in an instant.
"Who are you, and who sent you to approach the miss!" Ajie's previously simple and honest expression changed, his eyes sharp. At the same time, he signaled to Awei that if a fight broke out, he should take the miss and leave first.
Among the three, his strength was the strongest, reaching Transcendent 8th level.
The aura Jiang Li had just displayed had already reached the Transcendent Late Stage. Although he was not a match, Ajie would still fight to fulfill his duty.
"I'm just a passerby who got injured and happened to be saved by your miss," Jiang Li explained earnestly, not getting angry.
"Nonsense, how could you get injured in a place like this! Tell us your purpose!" Ailin, who had been protected to the side by Awei, spoke up.
"Ajie, I believe him," Ailin said. "With his strength, if he really wanted to deal with us, he would have done so already. There's no need to deliberately suffer such serious injuries."
Ajie looked at Ailin and then at Jiang Li. In the end, he put away his weapon, and Awei did the same.
...
"How did you get injured?" Ailin asked curiously after everyone sat down again.
Jiang Li scratched his head. "I was injured by an enemy."
"I knew it. I thought the wound on your abdomen looked like it was caused by a dagger," Ailin said, happy that her guess was confirmed.
"Will your enemies come after you? Will it affect our mission?" Ajie asked.
Jiang Li shook his head. "My enemies are very far from here, so the possibility of them coming after me is close to zero."
Awei didn't ask any more questions and silently started eating the roasted rabbit.
The atmosphere became much colder than before.
Although Ajie and Awei agreed to Jiang Li's joining them, they still remained somewhat guarded.
After dinner.
"Now that you're able to move and your strength is not bad, help us out a bit," Ajie said, handing over a portion of the luggage to Jiang Li. This was both to share the load and to limit Jiang Li's movements to a certain extent.
On the way, as Awei had said, they only encountered Level 1 exotic beasts, and all of them easily dealt with the creatures due to their considerable strength.
However, the density of the exotic beasts made Jiang Li unable to help but reevaluate this special place in Heizhou, the only province without the Five Great Halls.
Due to its unique geographical location, Heizhou had many strong individuals.
Many young and ambitious strong individuals would come to Heizhou's front lines to hunt exotic beasts.
Various psychic organizations and armies would also dispatch top-notch individuals to stay here.
Once Heizhou fell, the consequences were unimaginable.
A day later, Level 2 exotic beasts began to appear in the area they reached, and whenever Ajie and Awei were in a tough battle, Jiang Li would lend a hand.
The relationship among the group of people was greatly eased.
"I told you, Brother Chenxiang is a good person, but you didn't believe me at the time!" Ailin said to Ajie and Awei, proud as if she had just defeated the Level 2 peak exotic beast effortlessly.
Ajie and Awei looked a bit embarrassed.
The strength of a Level 2 peak exotic beast was comparable to Transcendent 8th level, and although they could defeat it when working together, they would inevitably be injured. However, in the hands of this man, it was so easily dealt with.
In fact, Jiang Li was a few years younger than them, but his strong abilities subconsciously made them think he was older.
"Thank you, and I apologize for what I said to you earlier," Ajie sincerely bowed to Jiang Li, while Awei still seemed somewhat dissatisfied.
"It's okay. If I were in your shoes, I would have doubted too," Jiang Li waved his hand, unconcerned.
"With Brother Chenxiang here, we might even be able to complete the mission a couple of days earlier. When the time comes, let's all have a meal together," Ailin seemed to be in a good mood.
According to the plan, they should be able to reach the Black Wolf Cave the next day.
The Black Wolf Cave was a vast area, and its lord was a black wolf at the lord level.
Harvesting the Purple Spirit Crystal only required them to be in the peripheral area and did not require them to face the lord.
If they were to confront the black wolf, it would not be a mission at the Transcendent level, but would require a Saint to come.
Late at night, Ailin and the others had already fallen asleep in their respective tents, while Jiang Li was keeping watch outside.
Ah, Ling'er must be really worried now, Jiang Li sighed.
Once he was in a safe place with cell phone signal, he would definitely let his little sister know he was safe, Jiang Li silently decided.
His injuries were almost healed, and after helping Ailin and the others complete their mission, he could prepare for the Foundation Building.
"The Sun family..." Jiang Li's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness.
"You guys just wait for me."
