Even after all of that breakthroughs, Li Bai still wasn't satisfied. In his past lives, when he was ten years old, he had already reached the peak of the Heavenly Mark realm. This life was not up to his standards. But he knew that absorbing and refining the Earth energy continuously wouldn't do anything. He needed enlightenment.
Li Bai walked outside of his room after just six hours. In six hours, he went from a trash to Fifth Level Mark 15-gems.
He felt the fresh air around him and started to absorb other energies so that the energies in his body would not become unbalanced. It's at this time that he discovered that no matter how far he was to the Zodiac Pot, it still drained his energy.
The Zodiac Pot, if used by some other person, would have probably killed the user already, but since Li Bai absorbed too much energy anyway, it was okay for him.
He thought that he would be in grave danger since he forgot to bring the Zodiac Pot and carelessly absorbed energy outside of his room. This discovery just made things much easier for Li Bai.
The people inside the Li clan's mansion were scuffling around, while the people outside desperately wanted to gain access to the mansion. Of course, they would never get it, but some people were just too persistent.
The area around the Li clan's mansion was chaotic, akin to a riot. If Li Fu saw this, he would definitely apprehend the perpetrators. Unfortunately, Li Fu was out cold due to the shock he received when he learned about Jin He's cultivation level. Li Fu had a faint heart.
The only people who had the authority to command the guards would be the high elder. The higher the cultivation level, the longer one would live. However, the high elder was a bit too old, about 250 years old already. He was already pushing his limits, living this long due to his cultivation level, which was at Third Level Heavenly Mark 21-gems. He was still fast asleep after all of the ruckuses outside of the mansion.
Li Bai, while walking, noticed the clutter throughout the whole mansion. He asked a servant about Jin He's whereabouts and proceeded to go there. He then called for Jin He, who was in the hall enjoying a feast prepared for her because she asked for it.
"Jin He, just what is happening here?"
While biting a chicken leg, Jin He spoke.
"It's *munch* probably because of your *munch* fast cultivation, master. They saw *munch* the rainbow light that came from *munch* your room."
Oh, I see. Li Bai thought that his cultivation was too fast. He must've overwhelmed the people that witnessed this historical feat achieved by him.
"Jin He, after you're done, help the guards in protecting the mansion. It'll help with your enlightenment. I will be waiting there."
"Yes, *munch* master."
.....
The mansion's door was close to breaking. The guards were barely holding on. Suddenly, Li Bai appeared. Even though the guards looked down on Li Bai, they still served him so they were concerned, for their pay, that is.
"Young master, what are you doing here?"
Li Bai ignored the guard's concerns and nonchalantly walked through the front door.
"What are you lot doing here?"
Provoking people was obviously Li Bai's specialty. He himself was easily provoked.
When all the people heard Li Bai, they directed their gaze towards him. He was standing proudly between two statues.
"It's the trash, Li Bai!"
After one threw an insult at Li Bai, all of them continuously hurled insults at an easy target. However, Li Bai's face remained indifferent. It was clear that he was not the same child that easily gave in to insults, the child that screamed that he would rise above all of them.
The commoners were startled by Li Bai's apathy towards them. They felt like he was a different man!
Jin He arrived at the door and walked towards Li Bai. The people present saw the beautiful sight of Jin He as she was second only to Li Bao. They left their mouths wide open, saliva dripping.
Feeling disgusted by the lust of the common people, she turned to look away but didn't leave since it was her master's order for her to stay there.
Li Bai noticed Jin He's hesitation to help the guards protect the gate.
"Jin He, why aren't you helping the guards?"
"...But master..."
Li Bao arrived too to ask for advice about medicine making from her brother. She went around asking where her brother was, which lead her here.
What surprised her was Jin He's presence.
"Who is this beautiful woman... is it Bai didi's girlfriend?"
Upon closer look, they didn't fit at all. Jin He was about twenty, while Li Bai was only ten. Furthermore, Li Bai was still only a child, why would he be in a relationship that early?
"Don't tell me... he's an early bird?! And he likes older women... What a boss. This little brother of mine is more mature than me... I have to catch up!"
Li Bai saw his sister and her flabbergasted expression looking at him. He then saw her expression change from shock to pride. ...What?
Li Bao walked closer to Li Bai and put her hand on his shoulder, and a tear dropped from her eye.
"Bai didi, good job."
Li Bai was more confused than he has ever been his whole life! What the heck is jie-jie talking about, and why is she crying?!
She then turned to look at Jin He, who was standing idly beside the siblings. Li Bao took Jin He's hand and shook it.
"Take care of my brother..."
Now, Jin He was just as confused as her master. She couldn't tell if the girl in front of her was serious or sarcastic. And just who was this girl? This made Jin He forget about the perversion of the people and just wanted to leave the girl in front of her, shaking her hand for some reason.
"Uh, master, I will take my leave."
Li Bao was surprised. Master?!
