Transmigration: Children of The Plane

Chapter 110 Talking With Li Rou



Talking with Li Rou

Clear Skies Restaurant wasn't hidden at all and was even placed at the center of the Soaring Sword City. And with its 9-floor tall height, it was extremely hard to miss for any passing by citizens.

And after showing his identity to the guards on the base floor, Xue Bai was easily allowed to reach the top floor, where his mother waited for him.

Li Rou had rented out the entire top floor for the next few hours as she wanted to be alone with Xue Bai for their discussion. She hadn't seen her son for the past two days and would be leaving soon, so she wanted no distractions during their encounter.

So after Xue Bai reached the table, she put her chin into her palms and let Xue Bai speak his mind.

"So that array formation of yours allowed you to even kill something in the Qi Sea Realm?" Li Rou asked with some shock in her tone.

Xue Bai had just finished explaining to her what happened in the second trial, bar from killing Ye Xuan and Shi Tian and finding the Xiantian Great Realm powerhouse's inheritance. And while he could've told her about that, Xue Bai didn't think it was too significant for her to know.

After all, he found much better things like the Celestial Void Fruit and Yggdrasil. So the inheritance of a measly XIantian Great Realm cultivator didn't seem too important in his mind.

And after he explained everything to her, Li Rou was most shocked by the prowess of his gravity field array formation. She had personally seen Xue Bai work on it for weeks, so hearing that it paid off so well, Li Rou was both shocked and happy.

"Yes, Mother, but I can't activate all 12 formation flags for very long. And since only I am immune to its effects, it's also not useful in a group battle scenario." Xue Bai explained somewhat disapprovingly.

The gravity field array formation was Xue Bai's crowning achievement in this life so far, but since he's had so little time to work on it, it still had many kinks that he needed to work out. And the odd fact that only Xue Bai was immune to its effects was the biggest one that he had yet to even figure out how to solve.

The only reason that only Xue himself was immune to it was, whenever he would be in the gravity field array formation while it was powered on, he would coat himself in his Space Element Spiritual Qi using it as armor. And for some mystical reason that Xue Bai still had yet to figure out exactly why, would counteract the gravitational force created by the formation.

And with no knowledge of why he was even immune, Xue Bai still thought of the gravity field array formation to be a prototype at best.

Seeing his admonishing expression, Li Rou's heart softened, and she went over and gave her son an affectionate pat on the head as to cheer him up.

"Bai'er, you're still young and full of heaven-defying potential. Give yourself another year, and I know you'll figure out the problems naturally." Li Rou spoke lovingly.

Xiao'er, on the side, also shared the same sentiment.

Nodding at their words, Xue Bai slightly cheered up before going to pick up the menu that was put in front of them a while ago.

Li Rou had taken him out to eat for two main reasons. One was that she would be returning home today and wanted to take this last chance to share a meal with her son, and the other was to have an early celebration of Xue Bai's admission into the Soaring Sword Sect.

And since the owner of Clear Skies was owned by a Domain Lord, its food was naturally high tier. Including the fact that Li Rou was allowed onto the 9th and top floor, the group of three was allowed to eat the best dishes the restaurant served.

Xue Bai chose a dish called Glazed Five Colored Peacock, something he thought resembled fried chicken from the earth. However, their tastes were of completely different worlds.

Chickens on earth were low-class lifeforms that would only suit the taste buds of mortals. But the Five Colored Peacock was, at the minimum, a demonic beast in the Qi Sea Realm. While the ones served in the Clear Skies Restaurant were in the Law Manifestation Realm.

And while its strength was something that could destroy mountains and dry up rivers, its taste was just as strong. Thousands of years of cultivation had enhanced not only its strength but also its flavor.

Sadly since the meat was too nourishing and full of Spiritual QI, Xue Bai was only allowed to eat two bites by his mother. In her words, any more and Xue Bai would explode from oversaturation.

Thankfully the two bites that he had were more than worth it, as they were easily the most delicious thing he had eaten in his entire life.

Not only that but after he ate them, he was given almost a week's worth of cultivation that he was then forced to circulate quickly before they dissipated. And not wanting that to happen, Xue Bai quickly sat cross-legged before cultivating.

The cultivation session, unlike others, wasn't very long, and within the hour, Xue Bai had used up all of the Spiritual Qi the Five Colored Peacock gave him. Sadly, the surplus of cultivation didn't allow Xue Bai to break through to the 4th stage of the Bone Strengthening Realm.

However, it did manage to bring his cultivation to the peak of the 3rd stage, making him just one more step away from the 4th stage.

"Bai'er, how was your cultivation?" Li Rou asked when Xue Bai finally opened his eyes.

"Sadly, I didn't manage to reach the 4th stage of the Bone Strengthening Realm. However, I did reach the peak of the 3rd stage." Xue Bai explained.

"That's good." Li Rou nodded approvingly, "Bai'er, I have to leave now as your father is planning on leaving the Dukedom and needs someone else to protect it."

While Li Rou was somewhat uncomfortable with leaving Xue Bai alone in such foreign territory, she knew he was more than equipped to protect himself from almost any cultivator in the Southern Continent.

So after giving him enough money to last more than a year and making sure her soul imprint was still powered, Li Rou left, returning to the Dukedom.

Xue Feng managed to pry the location of a Middle Black Grade Natural Treasure from Xue Bai, and since his cultivation was a lot slower than he liked it to be, he planned to go and retrieve it. Sadly it was far away from The Great Xuan Empire, meaning that he would have to leave the Dukedom for some time.

And since he couldn't leave his territory unprotected, he asked Li Rou to come back and protect it herself.

Thankfully the Wang Twins still stayed behind with Xue Bai and protected him from any cannon fodder who wanted to hurt their Young Master. It was their job, after all. So how could they just leave?

And while Xue Bai was protected by Li Rou's soul imprint, what if the attacker was only in the Law Engraving or Law Manifestation Realm? Wouldn't it be a waste to use an attack that could kill even Peak stage Domain Lords against someone so much weaker?

However, before Li Rou left, she warned him, "Bai'er remember to be careful of the Wang Clan and their attacks. While they don't know that you killed their clan members, they can guess it rather easily. After all, you exposed the existence of your array formation that could allow you to kill them."

Xue Bai took her advice seriously and nodded solemnly at it. He knew just how vicious the Wang Clan was. Even if they weren't sure if Xue Bai killed Wang Lin and Wang Xiang, they'd rather kill 10,000 wrong suspects than let the true culprit go.

Leaving Clear Skies Restaurant with Xiao'er, Xue Bai returned to the hotel they had stayed at and rented their rooms for one more night.

The last and final trial would be tomorrow, and Xue Bai wanted to be fully rested in preparation.

So instead of cultivated during the night as he usually did, Xue Bai slept peacefully in his bed, waiting for the action-packed day tomorrow.
