Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7463

Chapter 7377: Black Market Clues

Sometimes, stating one’s position in a serious manner can backfire, while Li Tianming’s exaggerated performance can effectively convey his thoughts.

After criticizing Li Tianming, Li Chaoxi, after telling him to wait patiently for news, decisively ended the communication.

At this time, Yin Chen continued searching for news on one side, while Li Chaoxi went to communicate with Li Dixiao on the other.

Li Tianming worked hard in both directions simultaneously, a two-pronged approach that would surely yield results faster.

While waiting for news from both sides, Li Tianming practiced the Chaos Sword Dao in his spare time.

Currently, Li Tianming had not learned any new sword techniques, but continued to review the second sword of the Sacred Dao Extreme Sword, ‘Establishing the Dao and Determining Order,’ and its counterpart, the Heavenly Dao Tribulation Sword, ‘Shattering the Dao and Splitting the Laws.’

As for the final fusion sword, ‘Transformation,’ it was even more profound, and Li Tianming still felt there was room for improvement.

Time continued to pass, and Li Tianming patiently waited for news, not in a hurry.

But Xiao Jiu was anxious, gazing at Li Tianming with its huge eyes and urging him on.

“When are we leaving?”

“Why hasn’t your new lover contacted us yet?”

“How about we sneak out first? It’ll be good to scout things out, anyway, with that ball of yours, no one can stop you.”

“I’m starving! I want to eat!!”

Faced with Xiao Jiu’s urgency, Li Tianming was at a loss and could only patiently soothe her.

“Xiao Jiu, don’t rush, be patient, be persistent, haste makes waste…”

“I don’t want hot tofu, I want the Divine Treasure Stone!” Xiao Jiu’s black mist body surged wildly in protest.

While Li Tianming was practicing his sword, Xiao Jiu anxiously flew around the Heavenly Fate Hall, constantly urging Li Tianming, while Li Tianming always calmly responded and advised.

Faced with the temptation of the Divine Treasure Stone, Xiao Jiu was no longer so calm.

Although when Xiao Jiu came to Fengxu, it could still act as if it wasn’t in a hurry, even pretending not to be interested in the Divine Treasure Stone, it was actually very anxious inside.

Li Tianming was very clear about this, after all, the Divine Treasure Stone was as important as life to it.

Now, having directly experienced so many Divine Stones and knowing that this vast reserve was so close, Xiao Jiu was clearly getting restless.

However, no matter how anxious it was, it didn’t run off.

It understood perfectly well the danger of venturing out rashly.

Therefore, it desperately needed Li Tianming’s help to obtain the Divine Stones within the Heavenly Treasury Province.

Seeing that Xiao Jiu, despite its eagerness, dared not act recklessly, Li Tianming couldn’t help but smile.

As long as Xiao Jiu needed him, he could gradually manipulate it…

However, Li Tianming’s goal wasn’t simply to control Xiao Jiu, but to use this method to establish a relationship between the human and the beast.

His ultimate aim was to gradually integrate Xiao Jiu into the family, making it consider Li Tianming one of its own!

During the long wait, Xiao Jiu seemed to have grown tired of urging him.

Only then did things quiet down a bit.

Finally, Li Tianming’s communication tower rang. He took it out and saw it was indeed from Li Chaoxi.

Li Tianming immediately accepted the message.

“Senior Sister Chaoxi, how did it go? Is there a chance?” Li Tianming asked softly, casting an inquiring glance.

“No, my father refused.” Li Chaoxi shook her head, somewhat helplessly.

Three members of the clan had just died, so Li Tianming wasn’t too surprised by Li Dixiao’s response.

However, he still asked curiously, “What’s the reason?”

“Father is afraid we’ll get into trouble if we go out. After all, even within the Fengxu region, where there are laws and regulations, Li Qianyang and the others have already had their accidents. The journey from Fengxu to Tianzang Province is likely much more dangerous.” Li Chaoxi paused, then continued, “Besides, if we really go out, we’ll have to use up a lot of favors. If the purpose is just to travel, my father said it’s unnecessary, and…”

Even a forthright woman like Li Chaoxi seemed a little hesitant at the end.

Li Tianming asked blankly, “And what else?”

“He said that compared to traveling, it would be better to have more i*imate moments, and it would be even better if he could have another grandson.” Li Chaoxi said this, feigning composure, but her cheeks were actually slightly flushed.

“This old rascal… does he really think we’re serious?” Li Tianming said, somewhat speechless.

“Anyway, we don’t have much of a chance to get out. Besides… you said last time someone was watching you, then you said no, but it’s true, right?” Li Chaoxi blinked, probing.

“It’s true, I can’t hide it from Senior Sister Chaoxi.” Li Tianming smiled slightly, quite frankly. “But please understand, if I need your help with other things, I’ll definitely shamelessly ask you, but this is something that happened because of me personally, and it even carries a little danger, so I really shouldn’t involve you.”

“Alright, enough of this nonsense. Are you okay on your end? Can you handle it?” Li Chaoxi asked with some concern.

“No problem, don’t worry, Senior Sister Chaoxi. Back when I was still weak in the Heavenly Emperor Sect before I revealed my background, no one could do anything to me. I’ll be fine.” Li Tianming smiled.

“The Beacon Ruins and the Heavenly Emperor Sect are worlds apart. Don’t be careless, or you’ll suffer!” Li Chaoxi earnestly warned him.

This demeanor was remarkably similar to that of an older sister taking care of her troublesome younger brother.

“Alright, don’t worry,” Li Tianming said somewhat helplessly.

Li Chaoxi finally relaxed and said slowly, “Since that’s the case, then let’s call it off. Let’s just focus on preparing for the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War. No need to think about anything else.”

Li Tianming readily agreed.

Immediately afterward, the two ended their communication.

However, while the ‘travel plan’ for two was canceled, the plan for one person wasn’t.

Li Tianming would absolutely not give up the opportunity to go to the Divine Treasure Stone Mine, so he had to continue searching for opportunities!

“This route is blocked; for now, we can only see how things are going with Yin Chen,” Aurora said gravely.

Therefore, Li Tianming could only patiently wait for Yin Chen to bring new information.

Finally, after a long time,

Yin Chen brought news again and immediately told Aurora, now looking at Li Tianming with a pleading expression.

“Your new love isn’t good enough; I have to do it!” Yin Chen said arrogantly, giving Li Tianming one last look.

“Alright, alright, Master Chen is awesome!” Li Tianming gave a thumbs up.

Only then did Yin Chen seem somewhat satisfied.

At this moment, Aurora, having finished organizing the information, looked at Li Tianming and said, “Yin Chen said that it has found a clue to an underground black market. Perhaps we can rely on this to find a way out of the city ourselves.”
