Chapter 191: Dao Fruit Accumulates Qi, Fleshly Body Advances Again
“Understood! Especially Yin Nine and Yin Ten, who are unconvinced with the Hidden Person. If those two dare to approach the Silver Coffin without permission, I will definitely teach them a lesson.” Yin Eleven was very worried that those two would obtain the Jiu Li God’s Battle Intent.
Li Weiyi patted his shoulder: “I trust you to handle things.”
Yin Eleven was now high-spirited and laughed, “The grand plan to grapple Yang Qingxi, I think it can be implemented ahead of schedule. I’m extremely strong now. One Yang Qingxi is simply not enough for me to fight. If there really are two, then grapple a pair, one on the left, one on the right.”
Li Weiyi also felt that Yin Eleven was extremely arrogant. If there really were two Yang Qingxi, that combat power would make ordinary successors wary by three points.
“Don’t rush, wait for my news. To deal with her, we must have a ninety percent certainty. This woman is extremely scheming and cannot be underestimated.” Li Weiyi said.
Yin Eleven nodded: “You’re not coming with us?”
“You go first, I’ll wait for someone.”
Li Weiyi decided to stay and wait for Zuo Qiu Ting. After all, the other had just saved his life, so he had to express thanks.
The group of Hidden Persons left, and Qin Garden became unusually quiet.
Li Weiyi did not enter the house. He brushed off the accumulated snow and sat alone on the stone stool in the courtyard.
He opened the Ice Jade Medicine Box given by Hidden Lord. Inside was a golden thousand-year Cold Ginseng, already possessing a human-like form and consciousness, equivalent to a living being that had been nurtured. If taught by a famous master, it could even become a genius martial cultivator of the Demon Race.
It was sealed by runes, imprisoned and unable to move.
“Humans see demons as aliens, medicine as supplements, beasts as food. How do demons see humans then?”
“In this world, it’s either you eat me, or I eat you. Weakness is the greatest sin!”
With a sigh, he threw the thousand-year Cold Ginseng to the seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors.
Li Weiyi felt the pain from his injuries and swallowed a Qi Ascending Pill. He then took out a Blood Crystal and held it in his hand. While circulating magic power to heal, he absorbed vitality and accumulated Qi.
Racing against time, pursuing stronger cultivation and combat power.
This wait lasted until the next morning.
The snow had stopped, and the warm sun shone in the morning.
Beyond his expectations, Zuo Qiu Ting did not come to Qin Garden overnight. What happened last night was unknown. Instead, Yin Ten arrived.
Yin Ten wore night-walking clothes and came in invisibility state. Upon entering the courtyard, she disturbed the snow on the ground, and Li Weiyi detected it.
At this moment, she was only three steps away from Li Weiyi.
Killing him was just a thought away.
Li Weiyi looked at the suddenly appearing curvaceous black-clad figure on the snow in front of him and sighed, “Is the gap this big?”
Yin Ten wore no makeup, no fancy ornaments, just a ponytail, neat and capable, completely opposite to the exquisite glamour during the dance performance. She said, “How long have you been cultivating? Do you know, you’ve already become famous!”
“Oh? The news spread this fast?” Li Weiyi thought it was the aftermath of last night’s battle with Yang Zhiyong.
After all, that was one of the top ten masters of Li Zhou.
And the strength of Li Zhou’s young generation was absolutely at the forefront among the Seven Prefectures of the Southern Territory.
Yin Ten said, “There were many Bright Moon Seven Stars Pavilion martial cultivators present at the time; it was hard not to spread.”
Li Weiyi realized he seemed to have misunderstood!
But that wasn’t right either. Yesterday he had instructed Zuo Qiu Bai Yuan and Qi Wangshu not to talk randomly about Cang Jin. After all, it couldn’t be confirmed yet that the ash spirit in Qian Yan Zhen’s body was Cang Jin.
Moreover, publicizing it widely would easily anger the other party.
“It’s about that ash spirit?” Li Weiyi said.
Yin Ten said, “Just one ash spirit, a minor matter. What made you famous is that statement about grappling Yang Qingxi. Saying that right in front of Yang Qingxi herself, everyone who heard it was stunned!”
“Now many people treat it as a joke, appearing in casual chats after meals, even spreading to Immortal Forest.”
“Everyone mocks you and Shi Shishi for being too arrogant, overestimating yourselves, bound to bring disaster. They all want to see how you’ll die at Yang Qingxi’s hands.”
Li Weiyi was utterly speechless: “Really, good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. I don’t want fame like this! But wait, just one statement about grappling Yang Qingxi, how did it spread so widely?”
“Because someone is stirring things up, explaining your purpose for grappling Yang Qingxi, saying you all… anyway, words like flowing stream and such, indecent talk. How could busybodies under heaven not be interested?”
Seeing that Li Weiyi didn’t refute and even looked extremely embarrassed, Yin Ten frowned deeply: “It’s actually true?”
“No! How could it be? Who spread it?” Li Weiyi said.
Yin Ten scrutinized him carefully and said, “It seems to have come from the Wolf Den!”
“Those Earth Wolf King Army people, really…”
Li Weiyi nearly slapped his thigh sore. He hadn’t done anything, yet he got a notorious reputation. Fortunately, he was still unknown; after some heated discussion, it would pass!
Yin Ten came to deliver the Dao Fruit.
Simply delivering the Dao Fruit wouldn’t require her personal visit. She came naturally because of the Jiu Li God’s Battle Intent. Yin Eleven was truly arrogant to the skies now, not giving her any face.
Li Weiyi opened the iron box containing the Dao Fruit. The material of this iron box was extraordinary, a kind of dense metal.
The surface and interior of the iron box had three layers of runes designed, with a small destruction formation inside. Forcibly breaking it would cause the Dao Fruit to annihilate.
Dao Fruit was the martial way foundation that only those at the great perfection of Dao Seed Realm could cultivate.
With an excited mood, Li Weiyi dismantled the runes and formation one by one. The pigeon-egg-sized green bead-like treasure finally appeared before his eyes.
It was so brilliant that it stung Li Weiyi’s eyes, covered in countless flickering scriptures.
Just the moment it was opened, the entire courtyard was filled with explosive magic energy, leaking quite a bit outward.
Li Weiyi quickly closed it, pressed his palm on it, took a long breath, and said, “Thank you, Senior Sister Yin Ten, for making the trip personally.”
“No need to thank, it’s not a big deal…”
After pondering, Yin Ten said, “Yin Eleven said that to comprehend the Jiu Li God’s Battle Intent, your agreement is needed?”
“You know about the Jiu Li God’s Battle Intent? That was something I brought out from Zangxian Town at the risk of my life. Um, Hidden Lord entrusted it fully to me.”
Li Weiyi stopped speaking at this point.
Forced by necessity, Yin Ten continued, “I heard from Yin Twenty-Five that any Hidden Person can try to acquire, contemplate, and sense it.”
“Correct, that’s my idea.” Li Weiyi said.
“Then can you write a note for me, to avoid Yin Eleven showing off outside the Silver Coffin, really too arrogant.”
Yin Ten had prepared paper and pen, brushed off the snow, and placed it on the stone table beside him.
“What to write?” Li Weiyi said.
Yin Ten’s patience reached its limit and she said straightforwardly, “Name your condition. How can I go acquire the Jiu Li God’s Battle Intent.”
“I’ll be straightforward with you too. Taking out the Jiu Li God’s Battle Intent is to win hearts. The purpose isn’t pure, but you know its value—it can forge higher-level Dao Seeds. If it can’t even win hearts, it’s selling cheap!” Li Weiyi said.
Yin Ten nodded: “Fair price! Alright, from now on you are the Hidden Person, Yin Ten will obey orders.”
Li Weiyi finally waited for this day and said, “You’re known as Dual Sword Dance, so first dance for me!”
Yin Ten frowned tightly: “You want to humiliate me?”
“If you can’t even fulfill such a small request, how can I believe you’re sincerely submitting to me? To put it bluntly, you don’t take me seriously at all, you just want to quickly acquire the Jiu Li God’s Battle Intent.”
Li Weiyi picked up the pen and wrote on the white paper, continuing, “Hidden Sect rules state that Hidden Persons must absolutely obey the Hidden Person. When my cultivation is strong enough that day, if you’re only convinced then, forget one dance—at that time, even if I ask you to serve in bed, you couldn’t refuse! So, before doing something, think clearly about the consequences. Your true thought is that Yin Nine should be the Hidden Person, right? My sudden appearance makes you very uncomfortable.”
“Take it! You should be glad I’m not a harsh Hidden Person to subordinates, nor a insidious and shameless one.”
Yin Ten never expected that a martial cultivator who was at Spring Gushing Realm just months ago would have such a steady and seasoned side. She picked up the paper slip from the table, ripples of light in her beautiful eyes, and said softly, “Can you add Yin Nine’s name too… He has extremely strong self-esteem and probably won’t come beg you!”
“Is this request too greedy?” Li Weiyi said.
Yin Ten said, “For the dance offering, wearing these clothes would lack much of the beauty.”
“Alright then!”
Li Weiyi added Yin Nine’s name.
After Yin Ten left, Li Weiyi instantly threw the earlier matter to the nine heavens beyond, reopened the iron box, took out the Dao Fruit, and placed it between his two hands.
One hand in heaven, one hand on earth, airtight.
Using the spring eyes in his palms, he absorbed the magic energy from the Dao Fruit and transported it to the Third Sea of Qi.
One hour later,
In the Third Sea of Qi, Qi rose by two portions.
“Using Dao Fruit is twice as fast as taking Qi Ascending Pills. Doing both together, the accumulation speed is three times faster than before.”
It’s impossible to accumulate Qi for twelve hours a day without rest. Moreover, time must be left to cultivate the physical body, shape flesh and organs, and more battle intents.
As for quenching Qi time, it was actually saved!
Because the magic energy absorbed from the Dao Fruit was of extremely high tier, incomparably pure.
“Fifth Order in Feng Fu, Sixth Order in Zu Tian, success all depends on money.” Here, money refers to buying Dao Lotus and Dao Fruit.
Unfortunately, he hadn’t started cultivating the Sixth Sea Feng Fu yet, so the true value of the Dao Fruit’s magic energy was completely wasted, unable to cultivate Fifth Order Qi.
Magic energy tier and quantity had always been his biggest gap compared to Five Seas and Six Seas martial cultivators.
Li Weiyi secretly set a goal: at least eight hours a day accumulating Qi. This way, half a month would fill the Third Sea of Qi to completion. There would even be three or four days of leeway for flexible arrangements.
There were still nineteen days until Lunar New Year’s Eve.
Li Weiyi communicated with mind power and asked, “Jar Master, can spatial power be used to directly send the Dao Fruit into the Sea of Qi?”
“Yes! But your Third Sea of Qi is still too small; sending in the Dao Fruit is very dangerous, and without quenching through the veins once, rejection would be strong. When you open the Fourth Sea of Qi, if it’s large enough, come find me, and I’ll help. Weiyi, you’re a bit too hasty!” Jar Master replied.
“I know! After Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival, slowly quench and settle.”
Li Weiyi relaxed, with the Dao Fruit entering the sea, accumulation would be fast!
In the next five days, Li Weiyi secluded cultivation alone in Qin Garden. Zuo Qiu Ting never appeared, nor did Yin Ten arrive.
While practicing the move “Samantabhadra Mirror Reflection,” faint dragon’s roars came from inside his body.
Physical body broke through half a minor tier.
“Clap! Clap! Clap…”
Applause rang out.
Zuo Qiu Ting, who had arrived unnoticed, sat dashingly and elegantly on the eaves of the small dwelling, laughing, “Blood flowing like dragon’s roar, body cultivation is good, Vitality Minor Accomplishment!”
Zen Sea Observing Mist had long said that his long-term cultivation on Shaoyang Star, absorbing a large amount of blood mist there, would make vitality cultivation fast.
Li Weiyi could clearly feel the enhancement in physical body power. Now facing Yang Zhiyong again, he shouldn’t be suppressed!
“I’ve been waiting for you for days, why come only now?” Li Weiyi retracted the move and stood in the courtyard.
“I’m the First Successor, with a pile of headaches. Do you think I’m idle? Now countless great mountains are pressing on my head.”
The voice changed direction, and Zuo Qiu Ting appeared on the stone stool in the courtyard.
“Did you kill Yang Qingxi?” Li Weiyi asked.
“Kill her… then how to see flowing stream?”
Zuo Qiu Ting lifted an extraordinarily handsome, unfamiliar face that belonged to someone unknown. Those bright eyes stared at Li Weiyi with a half-smile.
