Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1193: Chapter 643: Encounter

Huang Xi is a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator from the Haiya Sect on the Central State Continent, and he, along with three of his Nascent Soul Middle Stage junior brothers, is escorting this batch of important resources. The resource trade is a crucial source of income for the Haiya Sect.

In the depths of the ocean, he discovered a Fourth Grade Upper Stage Flying Boat ahead.

A glint of greed flashed in his eyes. As a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator, the massive amount of resources required for cultivation is the reason why his cultivation level can’t improve quickly.

Moreover, in the ocean depths, devoid of the Cultivation World’s rules and constraints, his greed intensified.

”Three junior brothers, would you like to join me in a big haul?” Huang Xi asked through the telecommunication Array on the Long-distance Flying Boat, addressing the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators on the other three Long-distance Flying Boats.

At this time, it was Li Shiming who intentionally activated the Central State Commerce mark on the ’Blue Crystal Cloud-breaking Boat,’ causing the Spiritual Power Pattern aura of the Central State Commerce mark to spread outward.

”Senior brother, I see that the mark on that flying boat belongs to Central State Commerce. It will be very troublesome to provoke cultivators from Central State Commerce!” one junior brother couldn’t help but remind him.

”Precisely because they are cultivators from Central State Commerce, we should rob them. Cultivators from Central State Commerce usually have significant wealth. If we succeed this time, we might secure years of cultivation resources!” Huang Xi didn’t pay attention to the reputation of Central State Commerce, he said with a smile.

After all, this is the ocean. As long as we do it cleanly, there won’t be any trouble.

Besides, it’s not like they haven’t done this kind of thing before. Every time they travel long distances, they won’t miss any opportunity when encountering lone cultivators.

”I support senior brother, let’s do it!” another junior brother supported.

”Then I’ll join too, we can’t let those cultivators from Central State Commerce get away!” The junior brother who initially spoke saw that the others agreed, and he too had thoughts about the cultivators on that Fourth Grade Upper Stage Flying Boat, so he followed suit.

The greed of the four Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators was directed at the Fourth Grade Upper Stage Flying Boat Li Shiming was on.

Not to mention the value of the Fourth Grade Upper Stage Flying Boat itself, just the cultivators aboard such a flying boat certainly wouldn’t be lacking in wealth.

After their discussion, they smoothly flew out of their respective Long-distance Flying Boats with remarkable coordination.

They wouldn’t battle on the Long-distance Flying Boat, as any damage to it would mean significant losses.

With rich experience, after flying out of their respective Long-distance Flying Boats, they took up four positions.

One blocked the front of Li Shiming, two occupied the left and right sides, and another sealed off the rear.

When the four Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators flew out of the Long-distance Flying Boat, Li Shiming understood their intent—these Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators planned to rob him.

He couldn’t help but smile; if there were a Great Cultivator among them, he would have surely turned and fled.

But since they were all of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, he happened to use these Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators as practice, to test his combat strength.

Moreover, he didn’t plan to summon Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng, nor use the ’Thunderous Mysterious Bow,’ and he didn’t intend to employ the ’electromagnetic cannon’ of the four Fourth Grade Puppets or even the three ’Silver Winged Spirit Gu Insects.’

He wanted to rely on his own strength, to take on all four as a way to test his combat power.

This wasn’t arrogance; it was confidence in challenging his enemies.

His confidence stemmed from his formidable body. Although his physical body hadn’t reached the level of a Great Cultivator, it undoubtedly exceeded the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Peak, standing between the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Peak and the Great Cultivator level, only slightly short of the latter.

All along, he won through superior tactics and never dared to directly confront Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators.

That was due to his inadequate defensive power; even though his offensive strength could penetrate the defenses of Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators, his own defense couldn’t withstand attacks from them.

Now that he himself had reached the Nascent Soul Middle Stage and his defensive power exceeded that of Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators, he dared to engage them head-on without using any other means.

Huang Xi and his three fellow junior brothers approached the Fourth Grade Upper Stage Flying Boat and found it showed no intention of fleeing.

This discovery delighted him. He could sense the realm of the cultivator inside the Fourth Grade Upper Stage Flying Boat, which was at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

Moreover, this Nascent Soul Middle Stage realm had just been attained for about a hundred years, making it one of the weakest within the Nascent Soul Middle Stage realm.

Huang Xi believed the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator inside the Fourth Grade Upper Stage Flying Boat must be a newly emerged one, feeling somewhat inflated after reaching the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, looking down on rival sect cultivators of the same level due to the backing of a superpower like Central State Commerce.

That’s why they hadn’t immediately tried to escape, instead preparing to fight them.

”Be careful, he might have some powerful magical artifacts, so be sure to strengthen your defenses!” Huang Xi warned in a deep voice, taking out a defensive artifact to bolster his own defenses.

”This isn’t the first time we’ve done this, we know how to manage it!” a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator replied with a smile.

The three Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators did not let their guard down and enhanced their own defenses with their artifacts.

Li Shiming flew out of the ’Blue Crystal Cloud-breaking Boat,’ casually putting it away.

He looked at the four Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators closing in on him. Although his Telepathy couldn’t peer into their thoughts, he could feel their intense greed.

”Why so young, seems like a truly inexperienced newbie!” Huang Xi said with a grin, somewhat surprised.
