Chapter 176: The Plan
“If he asks again, just tell him.”
In the Zuo Qiu Gatehouse territory, building a good relationship with its successor has a hundred benefits and no harm.
Moreover, that was still a top master of the Number One rank at the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival.
Li Weiyi’s heart stirred, and he asked again: “The ‘above’ that you and Yin Nine mentioned, does it refer to Yin Er, or the Hidden Sect Elder?”
“What are you asking that for?” Yin Ten said.
Li Weiyi smiled: “My cultivation is too low right now, of course I want to advance quickly. You old hidden people make us young hidden people stay in Qin Garden to diligently cultivate and train hard, we’re naturally very willing, but you have to provide some resources for quickly increasing cultivation?”
“The Jiu Li Hidden Sect has produced countless hidden person masters since its birth, every hidden person left behind some industry and wealth, over thousands of years, it’s absolutely a terrifying number, cultivation resources should be very abundant.”
He didn’t believe that the industry left by those ancient hidden people was only this Qin Garden in front of him.
See a spot, know the whole.
The Coffin Sea Merchant Association managed by Yin Er was probably just the tip of the iceberg in the hidden sect’s industry.
“For cultivation resources, go directly to Yin Shisan. Five Seas Realm matters are handled by him!”
Yin Ten had looked into this guy’s deeds and knew he had “earned” a huge sum in Zangxian Town, he wasn’t someone lacking cultivation resources. Contacting above definitely meant wanting to open his mouth wide.
The hidden people left one after another.
Only three remained in the courtyard.
Yin Eleven came over and smiled: “Among the hidden people in the Five Seas Realm, only those two can contact above, no choice, who told them to be the strongest, with the highest talent.”
Li Weiyi said: “I see your cultivation isn’t weak either, already cultivating the Seventh Sea?”
Yin Eleven nodded, looking at the distant night sky where the Immortal Forest pavilions were brightly lit with immortal figures one after another, and sighed: “Similarly cultivating the Seventh Sea, but combat power is worlds apart. Not everyone is like you, able to crush pure immortal bodies at the same realm with a mortal body.”
“Other mortals and deformed humanoid race really can’t beat pure immortal bodies at the same realm?” Li Weiyi said.
Yin Eleven looked troubled and nodded again: “In the Spring Gushing Realm, pure immortal body combat power far surpasses mortals and deformed humanoid race, able to cross one realm to fight reversely.”
“Yes, mortals and deformed humanoid race can cultivate the Eighth Spring and Ninth Spring to chase that gap. But pure immortal bodies cultivate the Eighth Spring and Ninth Spring even more easily than us.”
“At our level, everyone cultivating the Seventh Sea are all Nine Springs Supreme Persons, no one has fewer spring eyes than another. Crossing realms to fight reversely in the Five Seas Realm is hard, but even ordinary Nine Springs pure immortal bodies have combat power half a realm higher than us.”
Li Weiyi said: “In other words, Yin Ten’s combat power is half a realm higher than yours just relying on the martial way?”
“A difference of half a realm means a huge combat power gap, very hard to catch up.”
Yin Eleven added: “Encountering Hundred Veins All Silver pure immortal body, basically, the combat power difference is a full realm! How do you fight that?”
“Everyone seems to be cultivating the Seventh Sea, all Nine Springs Supreme Persons, but only the Hundred Veins All Silver successors stand at the very top, they’re the ones truly at the same realm.”
Li Weiyi thought for a moment: “I’ve seen Nirvana Truth and Dharma Truth among the Coffin Mountain Four Truths, Nirvana Truth is deformed humanoid race, Dharma Truth is Nine Springs pure immortal body. The combat power gap between those two doesn’t seem that big.”
Yin Eleven said: “Nirvana Truth ranks last among the Coffin Mountain Four Truths, definitely not a match for Dharma Truth. But I’ve fought him, this guy has something to him. His Golden Tiger Battle Intent is inherited from an otherworld coffin, which boosted his combat power a lot.”
“Even powerful battle intent can’t elevate combat power by half a tier? Then asking you to fight Yang Qingxi is far from enough!” Li Weiyi sighed.
He had originally thought that having Yin Eleven inherit the Jiu Li God’s battle intent, then pulling him along, would be enough to grapple Yang Qingxi.
Now it seemed he was overthinking it!
“Battle intent is a kind of enhancement in combat state, not absolute power, combat power stacking is limited. It’s a profound Dao, able to play an extraordinary role in the Dao Seed Realm, so otherworldly battle intents are more important for their growth potential.”
Yin Eleven said: “Of course, it also depends on how strong the battle intent is! For example, Cang Li’s inherited White Tiger Battle Intent made him stand out among successors, never defeated in single combat, steadily sitting in the top chair of the Southern Territory.”
“What about the Jiu Li God’s battle intent?” Suddenly, Li Weiyi asked.
“Haha! If I could comprehend the Jiu Li God’s battle intent, I’d be a hidden person, let alone crossing half a tier, I wouldn’t fear those successors, would I miss the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival? But do I look like it?”
Yin Eleven waved his hand with a smile: “Since ancient times, only Cang Wang could do it. Right, Yang Qingxi isn’t simple, she’s a Nine Springs pure immortal body, even I can’t beat her, don’t go provoking her. But I guess, at the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival, even if Cang Li doesn’t act, Yin Nine and Yin Ten will take her out.”
“Alright, you all cultivate well. Mortals and deformed humanoid race do have a gap with pure immortal bodies at the same realm, but in martial way battles, who fights you at the same realm forever? As long as cultivation speed is fast enough, you can crush with realm. One realm not enough, then two realms.”
“In martial cultivation, realm ranks first, not physique.”
“Yin Nine is just the strongest at the same realm! Among us hidden people of this Jia Zi cycle, the fastest in cultivation speed and strongest among peers are Yin One and Yin Five.”
“If pure immortal bodies were truly invincible, the Jiu Li Hidden Sect would just recruit all pure immortal bodies!”
Yin Eleven moved forward with his snake tail, body twisting and turning, preparing to leave.
Li Weiyi behind him called out: “In a few days, find time to come see me, I have something important to discuss with you.”
Yin Eleven didn’t think he had anything that important, but after all, he was the future hidden person, so he had to give face and replied: “Alright, wait for my message.”
Only Li Weiyi and Yin Shisan remained in the courtyard.
The two walked outward.
Yin Shisan’s face was round and soft, with a small tuft of mustache on his chin, his voice very gentle: “You few are all at First Realm or Second Realm cultivation right now, the usable cultivation resources are only Qi Increasing Pills.”
“Qi Increasing Pill, taking one pill, how much qi does it increase?” Li Weiyi asked.
Yin Shisan said: “Approximately five pills increase one square of qi.”
Li Weiyi was somewhat disappointed.
The hidden sect’s Qi Increasing Pills were far inferior to the Qi Ascending Pills refined by Zen Sea Observing Mist.
One Qi Ascending Pill could ascend one square of qi.
But Yin Shisan’s next words immediately brightened his eyes: “All hidden people, before the Fourth Stage of Five Seas Realm, Qi Increasing Pills are unlimited. You understand, the Fourth Sea is the Main Sea, our Nine Springs Supreme Persons’ Main Sea exceeds a thousand squares.”
“Taking five thousand pills isn’t that increasing a thousand squares of qi?” Li Weiyi said.
Yin Shisan’s expression turned serious: “After getting the Qi Increasing Pills, you can’t take too many. No more than two per day, otherwise you might get pill poison.”
“Two pills? Pill poison?” Li Weiyi was stunned.
The hidden people waiting outside heard their conversation. Yin Twenty-Four couldn’t help interjecting: “In the First Realm of Five Seas Realm, one pill every two days. In the Second Realm of Five Seas Realm, one per day. Only in the Third Realm, two per day.”
Yin Shisan said: “Any pill has pill poison, can’t be taken in large quantities. Eating five thousand Qi Increasing Pills would kill you.”
Li Weiyi didn’t believe it at all, only feeling that the Jiu Li Hidden Sect’s Qi Increasing Pills were too low grade, the pill formula not perfect enough, hence the pill poison.
When Zen Sea Observing Mist gave him Qi Ascending Pills, she didn’t mention any intake limits or pill poison.
Yin Shisan said proudly: “Only our kind of ten-million-year ancient clan, ten million gateways, masters the Qi Increasing Pill formula, allowing disciples to progress faster in the Five Seas Realm. Other forces can only spend big money to purchase, greatly increasing disciple training costs.”
Li Weiyi asked curiously: “At the Fourth Realm, how to quickly increase magic energy? It can’t be that seas of qi of one thousand squares, ten thousand squares, are all slowly accumulated step by step? How many years would that take?”
“Of course there are shortcuts, when the time comes, arrangements will be made.” Yin Shisan smiled reassuringly: “Don’t worry, in the hidden sect, it’s just us hidden people, no matter how precious the cultivation resources, we can enjoy them.”
Li Weiyi said: “Like that, huh… Give me a thousand year elixir, I’m in a hurry to use it!”
Yin Shisan’s smile froze, nearly choking: “Thousand year elixir, how precious, even Dao Seed Realm hidden people need strict conditions to obtain it. You’ve only just reached the Five Seas Realm…”
Li Weiyi was overjoyed: “So that means the hidden sect really can provide thousand year elixirs for hidden people to cultivate?”
“Can, yes…” Yin Shisan said.
Li Weiyi said: “You can contact above, right? Help me apply for one with ice attribute?”
“No hope.”
Yin Shisan said: “The hidden sect has a lot of industry, deep foundation resources, but also quickly consumes them in cultivating hidden people. Cultivation resources can’t be squandered…”
“I’ll exchange with spirit soil and magic tools.”
Li Weiyi had plenty of magic tools on him.
Though most were low grade, there were several hundred, enough to arm an army.
“If it’s exchange, that can be tried.” Yin Shisan said.
…
Yao Yin walked ahead leading the way, Li Weiyi arrived at his dwelling, a small building by the lake, serene environment, equipped with an independent small formation.
Lighting the bone lamp, she prepared to leave.
Li Weiyi looked at the girl under the light, like carved from white jade, and asked: “This time, has the ice soul cold qi acted up?”
Yao Yin gently shook her head.
Actually it had acted up once, extremely difficult to endure, but she didn’t want to say. Because Li Weiyi had promised to pick the utmost yang flower for her, she knew he had said it on impulse.
The utmost yang flower was a legendary divine flower, not that easy to pick?
For him to impulsively say that was already rare.
Li Weiyi didn’t immediately take out the Xihe Flower, had to wait for Zen Sea Observing Mist to return, have her personally check Yao Yin’s body condition, to know if it could be taken.
Li Weiyi took out a bottle of Golden Spring, placed it on the railing beside him: “Your talent is very high, those successors can’t compare to you, the future road is still long, don’t let your mood be so heavy, impossible not to live past eighteen, I’ll watch you, watch you year by year grow into a beauty unmatched under heaven, more beautiful than Yin Ten, become our hidden people’s Number One beauty. When the body’s veins are all silver, take this spring to forge golden veins.”
After Yao Yin smiled beautifully, she pursed her lips and asked softly: “How much silver coin?”
Li Weiyi looked at her hands, wearing the silver thread gloves taken from him: “Do I care about that bit of silver coin from you? Give whatever you think!”
Yao Yin nodded seriously: “I’ll go find out the price of Golden Spring.”
“Up to you! Right, tomorrow morning, come over, I have a huge opportunity here, you can try if you can get it.”
For the Jiu Li God’s battle intent, the first person Li Weiyi considered was Yao Yin.
Who made Yao Yin the most obedient?
Of course let her try first.
Favoritism exists, a hidden person cultivating hidden people must first cultivate the obedient, loyal ones.
