Omnipotent Overlord

Chapter 71: Ye Xiaolu

Underground black market, Bai Clan Clinic.

Bai Baofang was inspecting the black markets books with a frown.

That man didnt ask to deliver anything? Not one item? 

Nothing, sir Bai.

Who is he?

We couldnt track him

Sir Bai, here are some of the spiritual beads he used to pay with.

A pile of high spiritual beads were placed before Bai Baofang. He brought one to his eyes and pinched it after some thought. Pure white spiritual qi drifted out. 

Bai Baofang only absorbed a small part while letting the rest dissipate.

He did want to take it all, but it was so pure and, with his cultivation, such a forceful act would wreak havoc through his body before dying.  

He stared at the white spiritual qi hovering in the air yet not dissipating for a long time. His face changed.

Book me a flight. I need to return to the capital at once!

The manager of Chuan Provinces black market was confused, Whats wrong, sir Bai?

Goddmait! Theres someone out there that can make spiritual beads like us. And their quality is even better. Look, the spiritual qi is still lingering. This is an outrage!

Book me a flight, no, no flight. Ill leave for the airport right now!

Listen up. Find him and everything about him at all costs. I dont care what you do. But you better resign from your position as manager if you fail me!

Sir Bai, theres no trace to follow, how

Bai Baofang was already gone. The Bai clan was the only one in the world that could provide spiritual beads for anyone to help with their training. Now that they had a rival, who wouldnt be in a panic?

This spiritual qi

The manager watched the white spiritual qi in shock. So much time passed but it was still floating around.

Waste not, want not.

He took deep breaths and then went back to meditate on refining the white spiritual qi.

Shangri-La Hotel, room 107.

Li Mo took the Star Ring from his chest and, like a magic hat, many items came out.

The lanky guy sweeping the black market was none other than Li Mo. Changing his build was an easy matter for him. 

Li Mo didnt give Bai clan his address since he had the Star Ring.

Zhang Ding discovered it at that time and its surface effects. Without knowing how to use it, it was merely a treasure to clear the mind and nurture the body. But to Li Mo, this ring was made from a very special space material. This material was the only one used in making spacial magical items. 

Simply put, the ring was a storage ring. This ring had a space of 20 square meters, holding all the items he bought at the black market. 

Yet his shopping spree only netted him half of the ingredients he needed for the eight-sided Spiritual Gathering Array and two thirds of ingredients needed to refine his body. It was something even Li Mo found it hard to believe.

Using mere spiritual beads as money?

Summing up all the items he got from the underground black market with spiritual beads, theyd reach a total value of 10 billion 

Li Mo extracted the essence of some ingredients and started his second step of body refining.

The first was blood refining, changing its quality. The new blood coursed through his veins all this time and strengthened his body.

When blood refining was over, the second step was bone refining.

The essences of Azure Blade and Heaven-reliant Sword were the best for refining bones. But Li Mo was still missing the Heaven-reliant Sword and was forced to put a raincheck on this step. Now that he had the so-called damaged immortal flying sword, he found it was made of the same materials as Heaven-reliant Sword. And with a few other ingredients, his bone refining would commence. 

The first time he refined his bones, Li Mo persisted for more than ten hours. Luckily, Hu Dezhi left for the Tang clan to deliver the treasures while Jiang Xiaomei finished her two days appointment and left yesterday.

Li Mo was now alone to do whatever.

What came next was to search for Wang Huan, do what needed to be done, quietly getting his hands on a great treasure, and return.

Li Mo took out Zhang Dings yellow seal and removed its restriction.

Ahhh

A red light flooded the room. A bone piercing shriek followed and a bloody female ghost charged Li Mo.

Her claws stopped an inch from Li Mos head and could not get any closer no matter how much she yelled and charged.

This is the strongest wraith

A bloody wraith was the strongest wraith. It not only was stronger than the average wraith, best of all, she needed no yin nourishment. It could wander the world solely thanks to her deep grudge for decades, centuries, even millenia.

This bloody wraith before Li Mo was even stronger. A wraith needed to cultivate a thousand years before it could take human shape. Although its form was incomplete, it was not far from becoming a ghost.

She has no awareness at all, totally different from Su Qingyi

Li Mo condensed blue spiritual qi on his finger then pointed at the wraith.

Awaken!

All creatures had awareness, but it was either precelestial or postcelestial. Human-like beings had precelestial awareness, while animals postcelestial. They were different yet very similar. A dead creature gained awareness from the start, or through a stroke of luck. Or not even after thousands of years would it develop awareness. 

The Awakening Art was also known as enlightenment. It was just like described in A Dream of Red Mansions. The immortal enlightened a rock that ended up reincarnated into the male character Jia Baoyu from the book. 

Li Mo pointed and the bloody female wraith stood dazed

Who are you?

Y-Ye Xiaolu.

I had an unfair death!

Men are filth. I will kill every last one of them!

Kill, kill, kill

Ye Xiaolu went insane again. Her mind was restored for a brief time before succumbing to her madness, going after Li Mo. 

Li Mo pointed another finger. His Awakening Art would make him an immortal in the ancient past. Awakening a mere stone needed one finger and this second finger, if landing on the same stone, would have a higher chance of awakening it.

I am Ye Xiaolu, a superstar. Curses! Those damn sons of a bitches! All men are bastards! They are all filth! I want to rid the world of men!

Kill, kill, kill

Ye Xiaolu attacked Li Mo again.

Li Mo was stunned.
