589: Chapter 589 Finding Fault

Source Pool No. 2.

I don't know how much time had passed.

Xiao Weiqing slowly opened his eyes and stretched lazily; at this moment, he felt his whole body filled with power.

"I must come to this Source Pool often from now on, until every cell in my Physical Body is saturated," Xiao Weiqing thought to himself.

"Has it already been 10 hours?"

Xiao Weiqing checked the time and was immediately startled.

"I've taken a huge loss this time."

Having accidentally lost track of time, Xiao Weiqing felt a sharp pang of regret.

Even as a member of the Sixth Heaven, the Source Pool cost nearly a hundred credits per hour. For 10 hours, excluding the daily free allowance, he would have to pay an extra 700 credits.

"I can't do this next time."

His time in the Holy Land was still long; he couldn't afford to use it like this.

"I'll come back tomorrow."

Xiao Weiqing rose and soared away. When he left the range of the Source Pool, he clicked to settle the payment in the System. As he expected, the System deducted 690 credits from him.

Entrance to the Source Pool.

"I say, Daphne, you're still here?" Doru, who was switching shifts, descended from the sky in front of the entrance.

More than ten hours had passed, and Daphne was still keeping watch.

"Hmph, I want to teach that Xiao Weiqing a lesson."

Doru checked the instrument and asked curiously, "Is it possible that Xiao Weiqing has already left?"

"What! Left?" Daphne widened her eyes. "I didn't see him come out."

Doru laughed, "What are you thinking? How many times have you come out of the entrance after entering the Source Pool?"

The Source Pool was huge. One entered through the entrance because the instruments were there to scan their virtual ID and start billing, but leaving didn't require that.

Daphne gritted her teeth, "Brother Doru, did that man really run away?"

"Yeah, Source Pool No. 2 has been empty for a while; he left two hours ago."

"By the way, do you want to go in? Source Pool No. 2 is empty now. Since you've waited so long anyway, wouldn't it be a huge waste not to Cultivate for a few hours?" Doru advised with a smile.

"No need."

"If I don't beat that guy up, I'll feel uncomfortable in Source Pool No. 2."

Daphne left with her long spear on her back.

Returning to Villa No. 66.

"Yuanbao."

"I'm here, Master."

Yuanbao appeared in the courtyard of the Villa.

"Has my blade been delivered?"

"It has already been delivered."

A robot walked out of the Villa holding a long box.

Xiao Weiqing stepped forward, took the box, and opened it impatiently.

25,000 credits.

That was probably all the Blue Star was worth now.

Opening the box.

A straight blade came into view. The blade body was completely straight and slender, nearly four feet long without a single curve. The edge was cold and sharp as frost, as if draped in moonlight.

The handle was carved with an incomplete moon pattern and engraved with two characters—Yue Jin.

"Clang!"

The precious blade left its sheath.

The blade grazed against the scabbard, emitting a low, muffled hum.

"Good blade!"

"Boom~~"

Injecting a sliver of Source Power into Yue Jin, the blade aura instantly extended for a hundred meters.

"This really is a good blade."

"Compared to Yue Jin, ten thousand calamities is indeed more than a grade inferior."

After ten thousand calamities was shattered, even its characteristic of splitting and changing disappeared. In the end, the Materials were just a bit lacking.

However, since it had been with Xiao Weiqing for so long, he couldn't bear to throw it away.

"I'll find an opportunity to repair it. I could even place it on Azure Dragon Island and let those Geniuses in the Training Camp compete for it."

Xiao Weiqing took the blade and soared into the air, heading towards a mountain peak within the manor.

Arriving at the mountainside.

Facing the thousand-meter-high mountain peak.

Xiao Weiqing held Yue Jin and slashed diagonally from top to bottom.

"Seamless Slash!"

A pure explosion of Physical Body strength; a massive semicircular blade aura flew out from Yue Jin.

Whoosh~~

The top of the mountain was sliced off and slid down slowly, revealing a smooth cut surface.

Xiao Weiqing was delighted; the actual combat effectiveness of Yue Jin was even better than he had imagined.

"Let's try again."

Xiao Weiqing soared into the air again and arrived at the mountain peak.

Thick Source Power surged out and was injected entirely into Yue Jin.

"Star-Slaying Fall!"

A golden light spanning the heavens and earth flashed by. The mountain peak in front was split in two, and even the earth sank from the impact.

"Indeed, 'a workman must sharpen his tools if he is to do his work well'; that saying is absolutely true."

"If a Level 3 Divine Weapon has such an effect, what would a Level 5 Divine Weapon be like?"

Xiao Weiqing shook his head with a smile; he realized he was getting carried away again.

Level 5 Divine Weapons easily cost over a hundred thousand credits; he couldn't afford them at all. Although his ranking on Yunjing Mountain had given him over 200,000 credits, enough to buy a Level 5 Divine Weapon.

But he couldn't bear to spend it, or rather, his reason told him not to do so.

He needed the credits to buy Divine Crystals and Cultivate his Domain.

Domain and Dharma Body—Xiao Weiqing was bound to take one of these paths. Regardless of which path, Cultivating required a huge amount of credits.

It could even be called a bottomless pit.

"Come again!"

Xiao Weiqing swung his blade at the mountain peak in front of him, each strike faster than the last, each strike heavier than the last.

Boom~~ Boom~~

Finally.

Under Xiao Weiqing's relentless destruction, the thousand-meter mountain peak was reduced to a small hill before Xiao Weiqing finally put away his blade and stopped.

Night.

Xiao Weiqing bathed in the starlight alone, Cultivating the Star Contemplation Method.

The next day.

Morning.

Leibo ran into Xiao Weiqing's courtyard, saying he had found a master, also an expert in the Undying Realm. Although it was only the first level of the Undying Realm, the joy in his words could not be concealed, and he insisted on dragging Xiao Weiqing into small talk for half an hour.

"This guy."

Watching Leibo's retreating back, Xiao Weiqing shook his head with a smile.

Then, he couldn't help but think of himself.

"Could it be that no expert in the Undying Realm has taken a fancy to me?"

It didn't make sense. Even Leibo had been noticed by an expert in the Undying Realm; there was no reason he would be ignored.

"Should I take the initiative to seek a master?"

Xiao Weiqing fell into silent thought. According to past experience, members who entered the Sixth Heaven all had the opportunity to seek a master in the Undying Realm. Anyone could apply, but whether they would succeed was uncertain.

After all, experts in the Undying Realm were very strict about taking apprentices; there was a sense of preferring quality over quantity.

Just look at the entire membership of the Sixth Heaven; how many people had actually succeeded in finding a master?

"Forget it, no rush. I've only been in the Holy Land for a few days."

Xiao Weiqing cast aside these thoughts and decided not to dwell on them for now.

He soared into the air, preparing to go to the Source Pool; he hadn't used today's free allowance yet.

Entrance to the Source Pool.

Xiao Weiqing looked at the person blocking his path, his expression extremely gloomy.

"You're finally here."

Daphne stood at the entrance, holding her long spear pointed at Xiao Weiqing, with a playful look on her face: "What, not hiding today?"

"I was hiding from you?"

"Are you overacting?"

If Xiao Weiqing weren't being pointed at with a spear, he would have really wanted to laugh. The idiom 'big chest, no brain' applied just as well in the Universe.

Daphne narrowed her eyes, "What do you mean?"

"Xiao Weiqing means that you think too highly of yourself. He wasn't hiding from you, and he didn't take you seriously at all. You're the one overthinking," Doru said with a chuckle from the side.

"Brother Doru!"

Xiao Weiqing was speechless; Doru really loved to stir up trouble.

"How dare you!"

Daphne was furious. She pushed off with her feet, her figure darting forward as she charged toward Xiao Weiqing.
