Finishing his magical energy loan, Xu Rui put the purple heart-shaped crystal into his storage bangle. Then, he got up and left with a slightly relaxed face.

Robert immediately stood to send him out of the gates. This was a real major customer with a deep background, high endowment, tough temperament, and had a promising future albeit being arrogant as well. He would be an inexhaustible goldmine for the magical energy bank in the future.

Xu Rui left and said goodbye to Robert, and walked alone to the parking lot.

After taking a few steps, he noticed a strange man walking in front of the bank among the people coming and going.

He worked in the Truth Department’s Special Investigations Unit and knew how to identify suspicious characters. His professionally trained instinct noticed this person immediately.

This strange man was a middle-aged white man wearing a tall top hat and held a cane. He looked like a standard western gentleman.

The strange thing about that man was that his actions were somewhat awkward, as if he was a newly-released machine instead of an actual person.

The middle-aged white man looked indifferent and had no expression at all. However, his eyes revealed hatred from time to time.

Xu Rui swept his glance across the man when he suddenly turned to him. The man’s eyes were first filled with doubt and then hostility.

Before, he would definitely investigate this.

However, now, he had no intention of wasting even a second. He had to cultivate and catch up quickly, and utilize the new advantages he had to cultivate the Nine Transformation Golden Core Technique to the highest realm as soon as possible. Then, he would seek his granduncle, Principal Xu, to ask the Venerable Dragon God for the next step of the technique.

This was the greatest advantage for ordinary people and him. Not only could he rely on borrowing magical energy to assist in rapid cultivation, but he could also use his contacts to obtain higher techniques.

Thus, he only gave a faint scoff before walking past the man.

That middle-aged white man also seemed to find his actions inappropriate. He withdrew his gaze and did not look at him anymore. Instead, he followed a large crowd into the bank.

‘Perhaps he was another white westerner who’s jealous of China’s rise. He might have cultivated some evil techniques that caused his body to stiffen...’

The idea merely flashed in Xu Rui’s mind. He did not delve into it, and left the bank and went directly to the airport.

Naturally, he could fly, but he did not want to waste time flying. If he sat on a plane, he would be able to cultivate at the same time.

The Venerable Dragon God had already become a role model in this respect. It was said that he was practicing constantly.

Although he could not follow suit completely, he should at least try to mimic as much as possible.

If the so-called genius did not have time to train, he would eventually become a waste of talent. That was what Principal Xu repeatedly reminded him.

He would never commit the mistakes of his predecessors, especially the ones that were just killed in the Land of Sanguinity. They reminded him that if he was just half a step behind, he would be dead.

The way of cultivation was very cruel. Even if there were relatives and elders to support him, if his strength was weak, it would be difficult to go too far.

This was very different from ordinary society. Unless their spirit had been sapped by paying too much attention to playthings, they would be able to enjoy a king’s life by relying on the shade of their elders, as long as they learned the basics of using people.

A cultivation society was different. If an individual was mediocre, elders would not be able to help even if they wanted to. If there was a dangerous yet unavoidable refinement to participate in, the mediocre people would be the ones acting as prototypes.

Just like this time, he had solely relied on the treasures bestowed by his granduncle and did not cultivate in normal times, he would definitely end up one of the members that cut themselves off to avoid killing each other.

‘Speaking of, their souls should have been returned to the Truth Department. I wonder what their future will be like? Spirit cultivators or insect cultivators? Or maybe mech cultivators?

In any case, they had no future as humans. The Truth Department might be setting up a new independent department, and there would be many matters to do in the future.

Xu Rui sat on the first-class plan with a head full of thoughts.

Then, he quietly took out the purple crystal from his storage bangle and drew a trace of magical energy into his meridians. He immediately felt a warmth throughout his body.

‘As expected of a peaceful and moderate magical energy. The meridians didn’t feel any abnormalities.’

He kept the crystal, shut his eyes, and started to use this magical energy to cultivate the Nine Transformation Golden Core Technique, and soon immersed himself in the technique.

However, before long, a newly arrived passenger beside him asked him a question.

“Sir, are you also cultivating the Nine Transformation Golden Core Technique?” A clear female voice asked.

“If you know the slightest thing about cultivation, then you should understand that when others are cultivating, you shouldn’t disturb them.” Xu Rui said bluntly without opening his eyes.

This Nine Transformation Golden Core Technique was indeed a remarkable technique. Once one successfully started, they would be able to cultivate anytime and anywhere without worrying about being disturbed and entering deviatory psychosis.

This was one of the fundamental differences from other techniques.

“What are you saying? Who doesn’t know that those cultivating Nine Transformation Golden Core Technique doesn’t have to worry about being disturbed at all? Otherwise, how would you dare to cultivate in public?” The female’s voice was rather annoyed.

“Hmph, I can’t be bothered to talk to you. Stop speaking to me.” Xu Rui still did not open his eyes, “I know what you’re thinking. You want to ask about cultivation techniques right? Unfortunately, I’ll tell you a cruel fact. For you mediocre people, although you can cultivate this remarkable technique, your limit is the third transformation. The fourth and fifth transformations are all sheer cliffs that are difficult to climb. The sixth and seventh transformations are even harder, they’re impossible to cross.”

The female seemed to have been struck hard, as she stopped saying anything.

Xu Rui was not in the mood to have a happy encounter on the plane and start talking about love. That was something that only happened in TV series plots.

Man A and Man B were both controlled by the braindead scriptwriter, and then fell in love with another braindead person.

As for him, he was destined to rise high and become someone great. He had no time to waste on useless love affairs. After a hundred years, she would just become a powdered skeleton that would even drag him down. Why would he bother?

Those people were just mediocre employees in an ordinary society of the past. They could only work for elites like himself and add more bricks to his future palace.

The Venerable Dragon God had a profound vision and deep tolerance. He was indeed beyond the reach of people.

An average person who obtained a remarkable technique like this would definitely think of passing it on to his children and grandchildren. He would keep it secret and certainly would not spread it for free.

That was normal, since they did not have the boldness, much less take advantage of the greatest benefits from spreading it.

It was very comfortable now. As long as the upper-class people paid a bit of resources to feed the commoners, they would be able to obtain the magical energy they cultivated for free in the future.

It was true that many hands made light work. No matter if it was cultivating divine power or magical power, in this situation, the more people, the better.

Carrying this thought, Xu Rui continued to cultivate.

Throughout the entire trip, not even the air stewardess came to greet him. It seemed they all knew that the person immersed in cultivating was not to be disturbed.

...

Before long, another flight took off from the island. However, its destination was not far from North America.

A stiff middle-aged white man was sitting in the flight.

He tilted his hat over his head and was secretly seething in his heart.

‘Vigilante A, China, just you wait. I, Hook, will definitely make you return what you took away from me... You’ll come to understand just how grave a mistake you committed.’
