Chapter 310: An Xianjing Has Returned
She continued, “Even retreating ten thousand steps, even if they are still in the Sacred Heart Layer. Why can they allow me to sneak into the headquarters? Are they really not afraid that the route into the headquarters will be exposed? Could it be that they are held back in the Sacred Heart Layer by something more important?”
Li Weiyi knew very well that Tang Wanzhou wanted to go to the Sacred Heart Layer. First, it was to find the answer to “Yin Corpse Planting Rice,” which was a great righteousness to benefit the world.
Second, it was definitely for the 《Bright Star Scroll》 mentioned on the mural, wanting to dispel the Nether Realm and expand territory for the Lingxiao Life Realm.
Li Weiyi admired her courage and resolve, but he was just a Five Seas Realm Martial Cultivator and couldn’t afford to go crazy with her.
“I didn’t ask you to adventure with me. Just teleport me there.” Tang Wanzhou said.
Li Weiyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, showing an expression of “that’s more like it.” High cultivation was indeed different, with no taboos, daring to break into any place.
“But you have to wait a bit longer, until I heal my injuries.”
Tang Wanzhou added, “Do you see those grooves in the formation? They are for placing high-grade Blood Crystals to provide energy for the formation. I only have three on me. Help me buy five more.”
Blood Crystal was one of the most important minerals in the cultivation world, with thick Vitality inside and wide uses: healing injuries, cultivating Physical Body, Alchemy, nurturing insects, setting up formations, refining talismans…
Low-grade Blood Crystal was generally one thousand Spring Coins each.
Medium-grade Blood Crystal was ten thousand Spring Coins each and already had the ability to store Magic Energy. Placed in Heaven Earth Spring, it could automatically absorb Magic Energy.
High-grade Blood Crystal was one hundred thousand Spring Coins each, a treasure for Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivators to cultivate Physical Body, containing pure Magic Energy within. Nourished in Heaven Earth Spring, it recovered fullness faster than medium-grade Blood Crystal and stored more Magic Energy.
Only activating the formation with high-grade Blood Crystal was the most stable.
As for top-grade Blood Crystal, it was even rarer, something even Longevity Realm Giants sought everywhere. Not only could it be used for Body Refining, legend had it that it contained vast Life Energy inside, capable of extending Lifespan.
Li Weiyi stretched out one hand, asking for it: “Five high-grade Blood Crystals are worth five hundred thousand Spring Coins.”
“Who carries that many Spring Coins on them for no reason? You, the grand Jiu Li Hidden Sect’s Hidden Person, don’t even have five hundred thousand Spring Coins? Advance it to me first, and I’ll pay you back after we get out.” Tang Wanzhou said.
Li Weiyi said, “You must have some Dao Lotus and Dao Fruit, right?”
“None! I left them on the Ground before coming in.” Tang Wanzhou said.
Li Weiyi felt a stir in his heart and suddenly thought of something, asking, “How many drops of Spring Fluid can a Longevity Realm Giant condense in a day?”
Tang Wanzhou glared at him with her almond eyes, amused by his words. She was the Young Lord of the Northern Territory, renowned under heaven, suppressing her peers. Now she was reduced to condensing Spring Fluid to exchange for money?
If word got out, wouldn’t her reputation be ruined?
Li Weiyi hurriedly explained: “The Young Lord is always generous and spends freely. I shouldn’t quibble with you over five hundred thousand Spring Coins. But raising those Seven Strange Insects costs a fortune, and Mind Power Cultivation is an unaccountable expense…”
Tang Wanzhou stared at him for a moment, then suddenly realized: “You’re afraid to buy a large amount of Spring Fluid from the Twin Rice Cult, right?”
Li Weiyi quickly denied: “No.”
Tang Wanzhou didn’t want to waste more words with Li Weiyi. Meeting him had cost her money, but at least it had averted disaster. She asked, “How much Spring Fluid do you need?”
“Five hundred thousand Spring Coins would require at least fifty thousand drops of Spring Fluid to sell.” Li Weiyi said.
Tang Wanzhou frowned slightly, truly speechless: “I’ll give you ten thousand drops per month.”
“Longevity Realm Giants are indeed different, much faster than Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivators. No need to adventure; just selling Spring Fluid earns over a million Spring Coins a year.” Li Weiyi sighed.
With his current Quenching Qi speed, aided by the Fusang Divine Tree and Time Cocoon, he could quench ten thousand units of Magic Energy per month.
Moreover, the new thirty thousand units of Magic Energy in his Seventh Sea needed three months to quench. Tang Wanzhou’s supply would perfectly connect without delaying his cultivation.
“Young Lord, absolutely do not leave this place.” Li Weiyi instructed before leaving.
Such a major incident had occurred at the headquarters; no one knew when An Xianjing and Yao Qingxuan would return.
If the three female Longevity experts collided, forget his current cultivation—even at Longevity Realm, he couldn’t handle it.
…
Li Weiyi released Qi Xiao and Tuo Ba Bu Tuo from the Insect Bag, carrying them one by one to the bed.
The Insect Bag could hold people, but it carried significant risks. If shattered in battle, even high-cultivation experts inside could die from Spatial Power.
Unless absolutely necessary, it wasn’t used for living people.
Li Weiyi had the Dao Ancestor Tai Chi Fish and Evil Camel Bell; in true danger, he could use them for the Seven Little Ones.
“Bang! Bang!”
Li Weiyi held a Blood Crystal in each hand, placed them on Qi Xiao and Tuo Ba Bu Tuo’s heads, and crushed them. Instantly, massive Vitality spread out, drawn by Mind Power into their shriveled bodies.
As strands of Vitality poured in, their emaciated bodies slowly inflated like balloons.
After half a shichen, the Vitality from the two Blood Crystals fully entered.
Their conditions looked slightly better, but far from recovery.
Li Weiyi didn’t dare inject more Vitality; it had to be gradual.
Qi Xiao and Tuo Ba Bu Tuo fell into deep sleep. Having suffered severe physical and mental trauma, they could finally rest peacefully.
Li Weiyi couldn’t hold on anymore, leaning on the doorframe, slowly sitting outside, circulating Magic Energy to heal his injuries.
Five days passed in succession.
Besides meditating to heal, Li Weiyi used two Blood Crystals daily to help Qi Xiao and Tuo Ba Bu Tuo recover Vitality.
Gradually.
Externally, aside from each missing an arm, they had fully recovered.
But could the blood loss of Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivators be compensated by the Vitality in medium-grade Blood Crystals?
They needed long-term healing to truly recover.
Upon waking, they immediately got out of bed, kneeling to kowtow to Li Weiyi, but were stopped and helped up in advance.
“Don’t! Old Qi, I feel so guilty!” Li Weiyi said.
Qi Xiao waved his lone arm, smiling bitterly: “Blame myself for being too arrogant and reckless. After breaking through to Dao Seed Realm, my ego inflated; this tribulation was deserved.”
“Wang Shu is already dead, avenging you both.” Li Weiyi said.
Qi Xiao and Tuo Ba Bu Tuo were moved, gratitude beyond words.
They knew Wang Shu was the Twin Rice Cult’s Fourth Divine Son. Killing a Divine Son in their headquarters and still living leisurely—they didn’t know how Li Weiyi did it, but admired him utterly.
Thriving even in an Evil Cult.
Ignoring Li Weiyi’s obstruction, they bowed again: “Brother Weiyi, any future orders, we’ll face death unflinchingly.”
Finally persuading them up.
Li Weiyi took out the Cold Jade Box containing two arms from his Boundary Bag: “The arms’ vitality, Veins, and Spring Eye are intact; they should be reattachable.”
Li Songlin and Yin Nine’s situations were entirely different; their severed limbs damaged in battle.
“Brother Weiyi, thoughtful!”
Tuo Ba Bu Tuo shook his head lightly: “But reattaching requires at least a Great Longevity expert. Those at that level have broken multiple Longevity Locks, seeing all subtle body patterns at a glance, with unique Life insights, performing extraordinary techniques to reconnect Veins and meridians.”
Qi Xiao said: “Outside, there’s some hope. In the headquarters… our safety is precarious, right?”
Tuo Ba Bu Tuo pondered: “Brother Weiyi, your kindness we’ll remember lifelong. If truly impossible, hand us over.”
“Amitabha Buddha!”
A clear, elegant Buddhist chant rang from below the pavilion.
Li Weiyi’s expression changed slightly, instructing: “You heal first; I’ll be right back.”
Hurrying downstairs, at the Bamboo Forest edge outside the pavilion, Li Weiyi saw An Xianjing in white robes.
Her appearance had changed greatly, but her temperament remained elegant and serene, instantly recognizable.
An Xianjing glanced at him: “I checked the Golden Rice; it’s growing well—you deserve credit. But at least eight or nine days without your shining and care; the field’s Vitality has thinned greatly. Why?”
Li Weiyi took out the Green Jade Formation Talisman, offering it with both hands: “Please find another expert, Hall Master. I can’t tend the Golden Rice anymore!”
An Xianjing twirled her Prayer Beads, gaze sharpening: “What? Threatening me? Thinking my Buddhist cultivation means only compassion, easy to manipulate?”
“Junior wouldn’t dare. I’m just too injured and need time to heal.” Li Weiyi said.
An Xianjing said: “Still resentful? You’re lawless—killing a Divine Son in the headquarters; do you know the gravity of that sin?”
Li Weiyi said: “Wang Shu massacred many fellow disciples…”
“No need to repeat! Your Master compiled all Wang Shu’s crimes, submitted to Ku Rong Hall, and took responsibility, claiming she ordered you to clear internal threats as a mission. After all, Wang Shu was a Southern Territory Martial Cultivator under her jurisdiction.”
An Xianjing snorted lightly: “Mission complete; you can claim four hundred thousand Merit Points at Spirit Valley Hall.”
“Ah?”
Li Weiyi found Yao Qingxuan’s maneuver brilliantly beyond words.
“What ‘ah’? Your Master bears immense pressure; Southern Territory’s situation is dangerously complex, yet she spares effort for you. Remember this favor!” An Xianjing said.
Li Weiyi suppressed a smile, worrying: “Master’s kindness must be repaid. But that Heavenly Principle Hall Vice Hall Master won’t let it go; this offends him mortally. Hall Master, that day I was forced and named you, but the Patrol Guards didn’t care.”
Cold light flashed in An Xianjing’s eyes: “I’ve visited Heavenly Principle Hall and Ku Rong Hall, warned whom needed. In headquarters, no Great True Disciple-level figures will target you. But remember, in cultivation world, only hard strength matters. Otherwise, dark corners breed overt and covert attacks, impossible to guard against.”
“Not just you—everyone, including me and your Master.”
Li Weiyi said: “I’ll heed Hall Master’s teachings… Will Hall Master return to Spirit Valley Hall?”
An Xianjing thought of her second disciple, sighing: “I’ve sent him outside headquarters for training. Exceptional talent, but lacking temperament and honing.”
Li Weiyi sighed.
“You think I’m shielding him?” An Xianjing saw through Li Weiyi’s thoughts.
Li Weiyi said: “After all, one’s own disciple is true heart’s flesh.”
An Xianjing said: “For him, expulsion from headquarters loses immense face, worse than any punishment. And you? Punished? Were you truly blameless? Shall I re-imprison those two upstairs in Divine Prison?”
Li Weiyi quickly smiled: “Hall Master saying this shows mercy for them. Wonderful; Hall Master truly has a Bodhisattva heart.”
Whatever An Xianjing thought, flatter first.
An Xianjing said: “Tuo Ba Bu Tuo and Qi Xiao both practice Dragon Seed Dao Cultivation, talents to become top Masters in years. Tuo Ba Bu Tuo especially, a Successor with Divine Son/Daughter-level talent.”
“Divine Cult always tolerant of usable talents.”
“Li Weiyi, if you subdue them under you, guaranteeing loyalty, why would I discard two Heaven’s Chosen?”
Li Weiyi knew An Xianjing valued Qi Xiao’s Qi Family and Tuo Ba Bu Tuo’s Tuoba Clan behind them, but now he couldn’t be picky; he had to agree.
He said: “Since Hall Master favors them, how about a small favor first?”
“No rush! Heard you cultivated the first layer of Six Burning Karma Technique to Great Accomplishment. Demonstrate; let me see.” An Xianjing was most curious about this—after all, she knew Li Weiyi only started Martial Way two years ago.
Who reaches Great Accomplishment in the first layer of Six Burning Karma Technique in ten years?
