Just as Li Xuan broke through, there was a rush of footsteps, but it was Xia Ruixue who came back.
She was holding a lot of dead branches, apparently planning to light a bonfire to keep Li Xuan warm.
"you're awake?"
Xia Ruixue asked in surprise.
"I'm all right."
Li Xuan smiled, stood up and stretched his arms, and said energetically.
Xia Ruixue curled her lips: "It's best not to die..." "Thank you very much," Li Xuan looked at the dead branches in Xia Ruixue's arms and said seriously.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not doing this for you, I'm just a little cold!"
Xia Ruixue said with some shame and anger.
"Okay..." Li Xuan shrugged, thinking to himself that this excuse was really bad.
"Hey...why does your spiritual power seem to have become stronger?"
Xia Ruixue suddenly looked at Li Xuan up and down with her eyes widened, and asked doubtfully.
"I just had a breakthrough."
Li Xuan said.
"You...you have actually reached the peak of Qi refining!"
Xia Ruixue opened her mouth in surprise.
"it seems to be like this."
Li Xuan said.
"Oh my god...didn't you lie to me?"
Xia Ruixue became excited.
"It doesn't seem necessary."
Li Xuan said, "I have indeed just made a breakthrough, and I plan to borrow some high-level exercises from His Highness."
"no problem!"
Xia Ruixue said happily, "There are many exercises in the big library of the imperial capital. You can also borrow them from the royal library at will. Whatever you want to learn, I will take care of it!"
"Then thank you very much, Your Highness."
Li Xuan did not expect Xia Ruixue to be so generous. He opened the Imperial Capital Library and the Royal Library to him as soon as he opened his mouth. This kind of advantage was not in vain. Of course, he immediately thanked him and got the qualification first.
Xia Ruixue said seriously: "No need to thank me, if a genius like you is not properly cultivated, it will definitely be a loss to the empire.
Li Xuan, after this incident is over, come back to the imperial capital with me.
With your talents, let alone Xianyun City and Maplewood City, even Greenfield City is not enough for you to display your talents!"
Li Xuan heard Xia Ruixue's support, but he didn't plan to go to the imperial capital so early... The bonfire was burning brightly, and Li Xuan and Xia Ruixue were warming themselves leisurely.
Suddenly, there was a deafening sound of footsteps in the distance, and the earth trembled slightly.
"came back."
Li Xuan muttered, "It's faster than I thought."
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, rumbling like thunder, and soon the huge figures of three vicious dogs appeared on the horizon. When he rushed to the bonfire, a gust of wind roared up and almost blew the bonfire away.
Went out.
"How does it feel?"
Li Xuan glanced at the three vicious dogs. In fact, just looking at the three happy dog heads, he knew that this guy must be feeling great.
"Hahaha, Li Xuan, you are our best friend from today on!"
Gray Bones laughed loudly.
"Yes, they are good friends and the best partners!"
Jin Lian also put away his usual pride, and was actually more enthusiastic than Gray Bones.
Even the lazy fang looked happy. He didn't care about dozing off anymore and stuck out his tongue to show his courtesy to Li Xuan.
If Li Xuan hadn't firmly refused, he would have licked Li Xuan's whole body to express his joy.
After the three naughty dogs finished thanking each other noisily, Li Xuan asked clearly. After they took the soul-condensing pill, the moment their souls were successfully repaired, they immediately broke through the original realm.
Li Xuan did some calculations and found that their current state was similar to the peak of Nascent Soul among humans.
At the peak of the Nascent Soul, Li Xuan is really a little depressed. When can he return to the realm of the Nascent Soul?
"Very good, as long as you continue to work hard, you may be able to reach the state of becoming a god one day.
I heard that living corpses in the realm of gods can make life boxes. Even if they are beaten to pieces in the future, they can rely on the life boxes to resurrect them. Only then will they be truly immortal!"
Li Xuan said.
"The realm of transformation into gods... the life box..." The three dog heads drooled in unison. That was the highest realm they pursued.
"Forty years... We haven't made any progress in forty years. I didn't expect that there would be a chance to continue to become stronger and even have a life box.
My dear friend, fortunately I met you and gave us such an opportunity."
Gray Bones stuck out his tongue and said.
"This time we can beat the breath of death into snake meat soup!"
Jin Lian laughed ferociously.
Jian Ya sighed with emotion: "If Li Xuan had chosen to cooperate with Breath of Death instead of us..." The three dog heads shuddered at the same time, unable to imagine the consequences.
They were very lucky that they did not fall out with Li Xuan, otherwise how could they have gained such huge benefits! Fortunately, they made the right choice to become the out-and-out overlord of this plane. As for killing the Breath of Death, it was only a matter of time.
"Okay, you got what you wanted, and our bet has officially come into effect."
Li Xuan said.
The three-headed evil dog did not hesitate at all: "Dear friend, when we conquer this plane, you will be the common master here.
You get half of the proceeds!”
"I want 70%."
Li Xuan smiled slightly.
The three dog heads looked suspicious: "That's not what the bet said!"
"The bet didn't say I couldn't get 70%."
Gray Bones grinned: "Li Xuan, I hope you can give a reasonable explanation, otherwise we will not agree to such an unreasonable request!"
Gratitude is gratitude, benefit is benefit. The three-headed evil dogs know far more about how rich the resources this plane is than Li Xuan.
The income of 10% is enough to make people crazy, not to mention that Li Xuan suddenly wants 20% more, which is unacceptable to the three evil dogs.
"The extra 20% I want is not for myself, but for protection money."
Li Xuan said, "You also know that this plane is already connected to the main plane. Unless someone successfully clears up the wasteland and obtains ownership of the plane, there will be a continuous influx of human monks.
By that time, even if you have a life box, you will only end up turning into dog meat soup!"
The three-headed vicious dogs became nervous: "Don't try to scare us!"
"I didn't scare you, I did it for your own good."
Li Xuan shrugged his shoulders and turned to look at Xia Ruixue, "Your Highness, I asked you before, if the land reclamation is successful, the ownership of this plane will belong to me, and I only need to hand over one-tenth of the proceeds to the empire.
, I wonder if there is such a law?”
"have."
Xia Ruixue somewhat understood what Li Xuan meant.
"After handing over one-tenth of the proceeds, will the empire protect my interests?"
Li Xuan asked again.
"Will do."
Xia Ruixue said.
"Did you hear me.
Three dog brothers, as long as you are willing to give up 20% of your profits, the most powerful empire outside will protect you.
Then you no longer have to worry about your home being occupied by monks, nor do you have to worry about being turned into dog meat soup! You only need 20% of the income in exchange for such protection. Isn't this a good deal?"
