Volume 8: Peak of the Star Domain Chapter 1007 Blockade of Star Lord Continent!
During this period of time, Shen Wantong had been paying attention to Li Xuanfeng and the Bai clan. He naturally knew that they did not compete with the Tianhaixing forces for resources, nor did they have any conflicts with the Cheng family. Instead, they were very content to refine pills and sell them.
Although this seems extremely cowardly, in Shen Wantong's opinion, it is extremely wise.
The current strength of the Bai clan is simply not enough to compete with the Cheng family. If they rashly come into conflict with the Cheng family, the outcome will be extremely miserable.
And as far as he knew, Li Xuanfeng had just broken through to the Duyuan Realm. Although his strength seemed to be slightly stronger than that of an ordinary Duyuan Realm cultivator, he was simply unable to compete with Cheng Hai, who was in the middle stage of the Duyuan Realm.
In Shen Wantong's opinion, what Li Xuanfeng and the Bai people need now is to recuperate and further improve their strength before they can join forces with other forces to become the fourth largest force.
What Shen Wantong did not expect was that although he was extremely well-informed, he had made a wrong guess this time, which led to him being stunned when he saw the strength displayed by Li Xuanfeng later.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the Bai people had been on Tianhai Star for half a year, but they had been quietly refining pills for sale, which made Cheng Hai, who had been calm, feel impatient.
He was always waiting for Li Xuanfeng to make a move, but Li Xuanfeng had no intention of making a move at all, which exhausted Cheng Hai's patience!
Cheng Hai had never thought that Li Xuanfeng and the Bai people could be so patient and develop so slowly.
During the past six months, Cheng Hai's spiritual consciousness has been covering the Bai clan palace, and he can easily penetrate the second level formation here.
But Cheng Hai discovered that the Bai people were busy refining pills and practicing. When they had some free time, they would just renovate their rooms or collect resources distributed by the tribe. They rarely even left the Bai palace.
Although the Bai tribe's cultivation improvement speed has now returned to normal, it is only slightly faster than other forces and does not make Cheng Hai worried at all, but Cheng Hai does not want to continue to waste time with the Bai tribe like this!
In Cheng Hai's opinion, Li Xuanfeng's low-key development must have a very deep plan, and it is impossible for him to be willing to live in the small Star Lord Continent.
Moreover, Cheng Hai has discovered that Li Xuanfeng's alchemy skills have improved extremely rapidly. In the past six months, the quality of the pills he has refined has continued to improve, and now he is able to refine top-level pills of the Palm Source Realm.
He was worried that Li Xuanfeng would be able to refine elixirs for the Source Realm in the future, and the Domain Lord would probably pay more attention to him. By then, if the Cheng family wanted to deal with him, they would be more likely to be stopped by the Domain Lord!
For all these reasons, Cheng Hai decided not to wait patiently for Li Xuanfeng and the Bai people to take action, but to take the initiative!
Cheng Hai first sent a number of clansmen to investigate the inflow and outflow of resources of the Bai tribe. He soon discovered that the source crystals used by the Bai tribe to purchase refining materials were far less than those obtained from selling pills!
Although other forces can also earn a lot of source crystals by refining pills, the Bai clan can earn three times as much!
Because Li Xuanfeng's refining success rate is extremely high, and the price of the third-level elixir is extremely high, and other alchemists also have a relatively high success rate, the Bai people can earn a large amount of source crystals by selling elixirs.
For ordinary forces, earning twice the source crystals from selling pills is already very good, but the Bai tribe’s gains are incredible.
After knowing this, Cheng Hai's expression suddenly became extremely gloomy. Before, he thought that alchemy was just a side path and did not pay attention to the Bai people's gains. Now, after a careful investigation, he found that the Bai people had earned a large amount of source crystals in the past six months.
Originally, according to Cheng Hai's estimation, Li Xuanfeng and the Bai ethnic group's alchemists had to keep refining pills to barely support the resources consumed by the thousands of Bai ethnic group's cultivators.
This is because Li Xuanfeng is a third-level alchemist, and most of the source crystals earned are due to his credit, which is why he was able to save the expenses of thousands of cultivators of the Bai clan.
However, I didn't expect that the profit from refining pills by the Bai people would be so high. I'm afraid that in addition to supplying thousands of people in the tribe for cultivation, there would still be a large amount of source crystals left over.
After learning about this, Cheng Hai immediately realized that something was wrong and he could no longer hold back. If the Bai Clan was allowed to develop in this way, it would probably only take ten years for them to possess extremely abundant source crystals and even be able to compete with the general big forces.
Cheng Hai absolutely did not want to see the Bai people develop , so he decided to start the encirclement and suppression plan he had already planned!
Upon hearing Cheng Hai's order, the Cheng family cultivators were suddenly shocked, with excitement and ruthlessness emerging on their faces. They had also long been unable to contain themselves, and even couldn't understand why Great Elder Cheng Hai had not taken action against the Bai people.
Now, hearing that Great Elder Cheng Hai had given the order to start dealing with the Bai people, many cultivators of the Cheng family immediately rubbed their hands and took action immediately.
In their opinion, the strength of the Bai people is not a concern at all, and their Cheng family can crush them at will.
That night, a large number of Cheng family cultivators quickly set out and finally stopped in the sea outside the Star Lord Continent, forming an encirclement that covered the Star Lord Continent!
The next morning, many cultivators came to the Star Lord Continent as usual, ready to buy Bai people's elixirs, but they were soon intercepted by the Cheng family cultivators.
"An extremely powerful sea beast has appeared in the nearby waters. The Cheng family is currently encircling and suppressing it. Please turn back and avoid it to avoid being attacked!" The Cheng family cultivator said in a cold tone.
Hearing the words of the Cheng family cultivator, the cultivators who came here suddenly felt puzzled. They had not received any notice the day before, but now they were suddenly forbidden to pass by the Cheng family cultivator.
But the name of the Cheng family instantly intimidated a large number of cultivators, making them dare not question it at all. They could only bow respectfully and turn back.
Even some ordinary big forces dare not offend the Cheng family, for fear of being suppressed by the Cheng family.
The Cheng family is one of the three most powerful forces in this star field, and its strength far exceeds these big forces.
Only some powerful forces dared to ask the Bai people cautiously: "It was peaceful yesterday, how come a powerful beast suddenly appeared?"
But the Cheng family's answer was still cold: "Do you suspect that my Cheng family is fooling you? You can enter this sea area, but if something unexpected happens, don't blame me for not reminding you!"
The cultivator who asked the question was suddenly shocked after hearing this. This was a naked threat from the Cheng family. If they continued to enter this sea area, they would not know whether they would be eaten by ferocious beasts or... eaten by people from the Cheng family!
Although they were considered a big force, their strength was still no match for the Cheng family, so they had no choice but to turn around and return with a grim look on their faces.
Originally, some cultivators were planning to dive into the deep sea, pass through the Cheng family's blockade from the bottom of the sea, and enter the Star Lord Continent to buy elixirs.
But they soon turned back with grim looks. The Cheng family not only deployed cultivators above the sea, but also arranged cultivators in the sky and under the sea to guard against any fish that slipped through the net and entered the Star Lord Continent.
During this day, no cultivator flew across this sea area to enter the Star Lord Continent!
The Bai people soon discovered something unusual. After the trading pavilion opened, there were very few cultivators coming to buy elixirs, only some low-level cultivators who originally lived in the Star Lord Continent.
This is the day with the fewest monks patronizing the Baizu Trading Pavilion in the six months since its opening!
The monks who arrived were quite excited. This time they could finally grab the elixir easily, unlike before when they had almost no chance.
But other shops and forces in the Star Lord Continent became worried and sad. They also instantly felt that business had become extremely slow, and very few monks came.
When they learned that it was the Cheng family that blocked the road to the Star Lord Continent, these forces and cultivators immediately understood that this was aimed at the Bai people.
So they planned to leave the Star Lord Continent, leave this place of trouble, so as not to be implicated by the Cheng family, but they were still stopped by the monks of the Cheng family and were completely forbidden to enter or leave!
This time, the Cheng family's reason was even more absurd. They were worried that some ferocious beasts would transform into humans and blend in with them, causing unnecessary casualties.
The ancestor of the Bai tribe also immediately sent people to investigate, and soon found out that it was the Cheng family who had completely blockaded the area around the Star Lord Continent .
When this news came, the Bai clan's ancestors and clan leaders suddenly changed their expressions. The Bai clan's ancestors said in a deep voice: "The Cheng family finally couldn't help but take action!"
The Bai tribe leader said with a worried tone: "Let's report this to the master. This is no longer a situation we can resolve!"
The Bai clan's ancestors and clan leaders knew very well that they could not resist the Cheng family's attack at all, and only the master had the strength to deal with it.
So the two of them immediately set off and went to the Star Lord Palace to pay a visit. After hearing Li Xuanfeng's permission, they entered the Star Lord Palace to meet Li Xuanfeng.
The Bai clan ancestor immediately reported: "Master, the Cheng family has blocked all areas around the Star Lord Continent, and openly claimed that they are exterminating the powerful beasts that appeared in the sea."
Li Xuanfeng slightly opened his eyes, but his expression was still calm. He said, "Old Yao, be patient and let them blockade it."
After hearing this, the Bai clan leader immediately said anxiously, "Master, the Cheng family has blocked the Star Lord Continent and no one is allowed to enter or leave. We will not be able to sell the pills we have refined!"
He knew very well in his heart that if the Cheng family was allowed to continue the blockade like this, the Bai people's rapidly growing strength would be directly halted, and even their previous accumulation would be quickly consumed!
After hearing this, Li Xuanfeng replied calmly: "Then let's not refine the elixir for now, and let the alchemist in the clan practice for a while."
Hearing Li Xuanfeng's words, the Bai clan's ancestors and clan leaders looked at each other in bewilderment. They didn't expect that their master would simply ignore the matter. Would he allow the Cheng family to suppress them?
Could it be that the master is also so afraid of the Cheng family that he only refined pills to obtain resources before, but now is being blockaded by the Cheng family and still dares not resist?
The Bai tribe leader wanted to continue speaking, but was stopped by the ancestor's eyes. After the two men bowed respectfully, they said goodbye and left the Star Lord's Palace.
After the Bai clan's ancestor and clan leader walked out of the Star Lord's Palace, Li Xuanfeng, who was sitting cross-legged, murmured to himself: "It's almost time, let Cheng Hai be arrogant for a while!"
