Chapter 124: Chapter 125 Strength Ranking List
Translator:Â 549690339
Li Xiaobai understood that the ranking was simply a medium for competition over prestige.
Geniuses with strong abilities would be ranked higher; after all, those who really accomplish great things are the ones with extraordinary cultivation levels. Strength is of paramount importance.
âSo does our Holy Demon Sect have a ranking?â
âThe Holy Demon Sect only has the Sect Leader barely making it onto the Earth List, ranked just beyond eight thousand. Heâs in the kind of spot that could be squeezed out of the rankings at any time,â Lin Yin said.
âHiss, the Sect Leader must have reached the Transcendance Tribulation Stage by now, right? And still he can only rank around eight thousand?â
Li Xiaobai was deeply shocked â if even Sect Leader Ou Yezi couldnât climb higher, then making it onto the list himself might be quite difficult.
âThe strength of those in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage counts as top-notch in the Northern Region, but in other areas, theyâre just a drizzle. In Central Province, any elder you pull out is at the Mahayana Realm, compared to them, our Holy Demon Sectâs foundation is insufficient,â Lin Yin explained further.
âAs for those on the Sky List, apart from a few exceptional talents, the rest are all top experts from the major sects. For now, letâs not even think about it.â
âI see.â
Li Xiaobai nodded; he still had a long way to go. On the surface, his defensive power might seem decent, but if he were to step out of the Northern Region, there would be plenty of people capable of blasting him to pieces.
âThere should be a ranking stele within that secret realm; when we get there, weâll also have a go at the rankings,â Su Yunbing stated, feeling thrilled after interacting with a few prodigies.

The next day, Li Xiaobai gave the mountain peak a name â it was still called Misty Peak, which was his starting point, something to remember it by.
The token sketched with traces of the great Dao now bore the name âMisty Peakâ â it was quite intelligent.
The superior goods store had been closed for two days. When he came down the mountain, there was a crowd packed outside the store.
In the recent two days that Li Xiaobai hadnât been doing business, the disciples still camped every day, hoping to buy Huazi the moment it became available.
Now, they all regretted that they hadnât bought a hundred packets of Huazi in one go previously. The benefits of Huazi for cultivation were simply too great; they couldnât stop craving it.
Seeing Li Xiaobai coming, they all opened a path like he was their savior.
âBoss Ye, youâve finally arrived! Iâm going to starve to death if you donât come!â
âYeah, Boss Ye, now I canât swallow any Heaven and Earth Treasures other than your Huazi!â
âLife without Huazi is so tasteless; even cultivation has become dull and boring.â
âThis time Iâm buying a hundred packets of Huazi, and nobody had better stop me!â
âPsh, just a hundred packets? Thatâs thinking too small; Iâve brought nearly half my assets here, and Iâm starting at a thousand packets today!â
Two days had passed, and the numbers of cultivators coming to buy Huazi hadnât declined, but instead had increased. Li Xiaobai found it amazing â were these people consuming Huazi that fast? Many of them had bought dozens of packets in one go and used them all up in two days, which was a bit frightening.
Li Xiaobai smiled slightly, lit a stick of Huazi, and announced, âRest assured, everyone. Thereâs plenty of stock today. As long as youâve brought enough Spirit Stones, you can have as many as you want!â
The cultivators were overjoyed, especially upon seeing the Huazi in Li Xiaobaiâs hand; they eagerly stepped forward to exchange Spirit Stones.
Watching large amounts of high-grade Spirit Stones come into his possession, Li Xiaobaiâs smile was so wide his eyes could barely open.
In the System, a stick of Huazi only cost one Lower Grade Spirit Stone, and a pack contained about a dozen sticks, totaling up to just over ten Lower Grade Spirit Stones in cost.
Now he was reselling a pack for the price of one Upper Grade Spirit Stone, which meant the profit had increased by more than a thousand times, and with the high demand for Huazi, with almost everyone buying by the pack, all transactions were in Upper Grade Spirit Stones.
It was all high-quality merchandise â he was making a fortune!
âDonât rush, donât panic, thereâs enough for everyone, one at a time.â
Li Xiaobai beckoned with a smile, and the originally empty counter was once again crammed full of Huazi.
The crowdâs eyes went wide with envyâjust how many Huazi did Boss Ye have? He pulled out a large pile at randomâso wealthy!
The cultivators took their Huazi and left, thoroughly content.
Watching the storeâs crowd gradually thin, Li Xiaobai became even happier. These cultivators were his cash crops, taking the Huazi and rushing home to cultivate without delay. Given their eagerness, it wouldnât be long before they came back to buy more.
The path to his own fortune was about to begin.
For the next several days, although the number of cultivators coming to buy was nowhere near the first dayâs crowd, Li Xiaobai still managed to collect tens of thousands of Upper Grade Spirit Stones every time.
In just a few days, his wealth in Upper Grade Spirit Stones had accumulated to a staggering 130,000.
That terrifying figure was enough to unlock some of the high-level items from the Systemâs store.
For instance, the Maserati worth 100,000 Upper Grade Spirit Stones, but he currently had enough use from the large truck, and didnât really need another sports car for the time being.
The Godzilla mount seemed quite swanky, but sadly it required a million Upper Grade Spirit Stones, which was still beyond his current wealth.
He decided to save up first.
There were also some top-tier pieces of equipment in the store, all of which bore the word âDivine Levelâ in golden letters, starkly different from the other items.
[Sea-Calming Divine Needle: Part of the Rivalling Heaven Set series, comes with Shatter Heaven Effect, able to throw Heavenâs Court into chaos with a single strike, utterly indestructible. (Able to be used once for ten million Superior Grade Spirit Stones, cooldown time: 24 hours)]
[Fiery Golden Eyes: Part of the Rivalling Heaven Set series, comes with the ability to insight into all heavens, burning all beings with one glance. (Able to be used once for ten million Superior Grade Spirit Stones, cooldown time: 24 hours)]
[â¦]
There were many such Divine Level items, but with his current financial means, he couldnât afford even the slightest fraction of their cost.
Moreover, the use of Divine Level items was charged by the number of uses, and they couldnât be obtained permanently. That really hurtâhe wasnât the type to burn money for fun!
Someone walked into the store.
Dressed in white, with sharp eyes that intently stared at Li Xiaobai, he said, âYou are⦠Junior Brother Li, right?â
The voice was very familiar. Li Xiaobai was startled and looked up to see an old acquaintanceâit was his former senior brother, Feng Wuxie.
Feng Wuxie now had a deep gleam in his eyes and a concealed aura; he was clearly not on the same level as before.
âSenior Brother Feng!â
Li Xiaobai was surprised; Senior Brother Feng had been good to him in the past, a friend indeed with no need for pretenses.
âSo it really is you, Junior Brother Li. Senior Brother has had a hard time looking for you!â
Feng Wuxie spoke through gritted teeth, word by word. Ever since they parted ways in the Divine Beast Mountain Range, he had been searching for Li Xiaobai, aiming to do him in. Unfortunately, despite his searching, he found not a trace.
Having no other choice, he returned to his sect to assimilate the treasures from various secret realms. After some cultivation, he had also reached the peak of the Golden Core Stage with the help of numerous resources.
He recognized the seven from Misty Peak at a glance during the sectâs disciple competition.
Just a few days prior, news came from the Great Elder of the Immortal Feather Sect that the sect faced an unprecedented crisis. A major figure had arrived at the Immortal Feather Sect and restrained everyone. It seemed to be connected to Li Xiaobai.
This only inflamed Feng Wuxieâs already murderous intent toward Li Xiaobai, leading him to come knocking directly.
Looking at the fiery-eyed Feng Wuxie, Li Xiaobai was somewhat dumbfounded: âUh, Senior Brother, would you like a Huazi first?â
