Chapter 79: Telekinesis Breakthrough
“At the end of the month, the first trial will begin.”
“Martial Cultivators of every realm will face different trial difficulties.”
“As a reminder, the first trial has a very high death rate. So no matter what realm you are in, improve your combat power as quickly as possible. One month passes very quickly.”
“Those above Seven Springs, follow me.”
Above Seven Springs, there were only seven people.
They were two Seven Springs Martial Cultivators, Li Weiyi and Yao Yin.
Four Eight Springs, one Nine Springs.
Yin Twenty-Four led them to the other side of the river valley, walking on the grass lawn emitting blue light, where grass leaves’ dew soaked through their shoe surfaces.
In the distance, there were many towering low hills…
In the underground space, the low hills naturally appeared towering as well.
“What is most important for you now is undoubtedly quenching the veins in your body. Blood Tree Forest Cliff is most suitable for helping to quench red veins. You two who have opened Seven Springs, just live here!”
It was obvious that when boarding the boat, Yin Twenty-Four had already probed their cultivation, pointing at Yao Yin and Li Weiyi.
Li Qing revealed a surprised expression and looked toward Li Weiyi.
He had personally witnessed that battle by the Sui River and had always thought Li Weiyi had Eight Springs cultivation. He couldn’t imagine a Seven Springs mortal having such terrifying battle achievements, secretly suspecting that Earth Wolf King Army masters had sealed his Eighth Spring to enhance survival ability in the Hidden Sect.
It didn’t matter; Seven Springs and Eight Springs made no difference. He would find an opportunity to eliminate him.
Yao Yin furrowed her brows: “Can I refuse to live in the same place as him?”
“You can, then you live with the Eight Springs openers and the Nine Springs opener.” Yin Twenty-Four said.
“Forget it!”
Yao Yin chose to compromise.
The protection period prohibiting mutual killing was only one month; who knew what the rules would be after one month?
Li Weiyi asked: “Is there a place that helps quench gold veins?”
Yao Yin stared at Li Weiyi like he was a fool, then took the lead into the Blood Tree Forest.
Yin Twenty-Four had always shown little expression, but at this moment flipped a white eye, tossed down a sentence “Open Nine Springs first before you talk,” then led the remaining five to Silver Beach River Valley, which could help forge silver veins.
Li Weiyi felt he had sincerely sought advice, so why did he get so many white eyes?
He had to go quench gold veins.
Otherwise, if he encountered a full silver veins Martial Cultivator in the future, what advantage would he have?
Someone like Cang Li, the number one person of Li Zhou’s younger generation, was almost certainly Hundred Veins All Silver.
With a sigh, he walked into the Blood Tree Forest.
This was a small forest, only a few feet taller than a person, but obviously mutated plants, with leaves able to emit faint blood glow. The trunks and branches were also incredibly hard, like cast iron.
Cave mansions were carved into the cliff face deep in the Blood Tree Forest, a total of five cave entrances, all equipped with stone gates and formation scripts.
Yao Yin stood outside one cave mansion door, staring at him like a thief.
Of course Li Weiyi wouldn’t make trouble for himself and deliberately chose the one farthest from her to live in.
As soon as the stone gate was closed, the ten formation scripts on the door automatically lit up.
After tidying up the cave mansion, Li Weiyi entered the blood mud space of the Buddha’s Sarira: “Jar Master, I have entered the Hidden Sect.”
He then recounted the whole story.
After listening.
Spirit Tablet Master spoke first: “Obviously Coffin Mountain and Earth Wolf King Army have joined hands, and a traitor has emerged from Jiu Li’s upper echelons. There’s probably another force involved behind this. What they worry about most is undoubtedly Jiu Li Hidden Sect, so they want to figure out the Hidden Sect’s strength before making a move.”
Li Weiyi said: “I see Jiu Li Hidden Sect’s strength exceeds imagination. If Coffin Mountain and Earth Wolf King Army misjudge, they will suffer big losses. But the premise is that Li Qing doesn’t spread the news, letting them prepare in advance. Because I heard that Dragon Gate among the ten million gateways is also involved, which is not to be underestimated.”
“Then eliminate him.” Jar Master’s voice rang out.
Li Weiyi asked: “Should we now implement the initial plan and directly go find Hidden Lord?”
The initial plan was, of course, to make an article out of Jar Master’s identity to gain Jiu Li Hidden Sect’s absolute trust. Then, relying on the identity of an Insect Tamer who controlled seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors, directly become this Jia Zi’s Hidden Person.
Li Weiyi was so anxious not because he wanted to complete the mission within one month to claim the flowing stream reward prepared by Shi Liuyu. Rather, this was the simplest and most direct way, allowing him to eliminate Li Qing and root out the traitor using the Hidden Sect’s hand.
After pondering for a long time, Jar Master said: “Weiyi, do you have confidence in yourself? That is, relying on your own strength to compete for the Hidden Person position.”
Li Weiyi laughed: “Honestly, after hearing Yin Twenty-Four’s description earlier, I really want to give it a shot.”
“The letter, I’ve written it, containing my aura and Nine Emperor Banner’s aura, handwriting is mine, with leader’s secret mark! Decide for yourself whether to hand it to the Hidden Sect now.”
The stone coffin’s coffin lid opened a crack, and a letter was handed out.
Paper and pen, Li Weiyi had long sent into the stone coffin.
After taking the letter, Li Weiyi asked: “What is Jar Master worried about?”
Jar Master said: “It’s the grade of the Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors, far exceeding my expectations. I’m worried that exposing them too early will cause problems. If they were seven Marquis Level ones, you could expose them casually, tell them casually, and no one in the Hidden Sect would covet them; they would generously appoint you as this generation’s Hidden Person.”
“But these are seven Emperor Level ones!”
Jar Master’s voice came from underground: “Don’t talk about them; even at my peak, I’d be tempted to kill and seize them. No… not just killing, it would be slaughtering the city, stirring up bloodshed and gore, all worth it.”
Jar Master’s ashes had long been buried in the blood mud.
Jar Master added: “Don’t be too afraid; after all, you have my letter. I said in the letter that in ten years, I will return, and you are my successor. This sentence is enough to deter them; the risk isn’t actually great.”
Li Weiyi carefully considered and said: “How about this: I’ll try on my own first. If I really face life-threatening danger, this letter can serve as my lifesaving talisman.”
“Zangxian Town has undergone great changes, with an extraordinary opportunity appearing, which will definitely hold back Coffin Mountain, Earth Wolf King Army, and the others. There shouldn’t be major problems in the next few months. The Hidden Sect’s news hasn’t spread, so they won’t act rashly.”
“Four months. If I can’t become Hidden Person within four months, we’ll implement the initial plan.”
Underground Jar Master said: “So urgent? Why must it be four months?”
Li Weiyi smiled bitterly: “Because Shi Liuyu planted Six Desires Talisman on me. If I don’t go see him within four months, I’ll… be done for!”
“Let me see.” Spirit Tablet Master said.
Li Weiyi walked to the spirit tablet, pulled open his collar, exposing his muscular chest.
Strands of spiritual light overflowed from the spirit tablet, condensing into a light hand that pressed onto his chest.
Since arriving at Shaoyang Star and absorbing the power here, Spirit Tablet Master’s remnant soul had clearly strengthened a bit.
“Swish! Swish…”
It tapped seven times in succession.
A green complex rune appeared at the center of Li Weiyi’s chest.
Spirit Tablet Master withdrew the hand: “Indeed Six Desires Talisman; this is somewhat troublesome!”
“Can it be undone?” Li Weiyi asked.
“It can be undone.”
Spirit Tablet Master said: “But… although every Six Desires Talisman’s rune looks the same, the stroke order differs. Only finding the correct order can undo it.”
Li Weiyi smiled bitterly; he knew he still had to find Shi Liuyu.
There were too many strokes, countless different combinations, more than ten thousand.
“We can try one by one. With my attainment in rune magic, at most a hundred tries and we’ll get it.” Spirit Tablet Master said.
Before Li Weiyi could rejoice, she added: “But you need two or three intimate female companions by your side first, because every wrong try will cause severe backlash from the Six Desires Talisman.”
“Forget it; it’s more reliable to find Shi Liuyu.”
Li Weiyi decisively refused.
He didn’t want to end up like Shi Liuyu, emaciated from backlash.
As long as he became Hidden Person, he could use the Hidden Sect’s power to capture Shi Liuyu, no fear of non-compliance.
Besides, where to find two or three intimate female companions?
He didn’t have even one now.
Even if he did, it would be strange if others were willing.
…
Exiting the blood mud space.
Li Weiyi pinched the letter in his hand, immediately wrapped it in oil paper, and hid it securely on his person.
To impact Hidden Person in four months, he must open Ninth Spring within four months and defeat the three people on the Mind Power Mural. As for comprehending Jiu Li God’s battle intent, that was too ethereal; he hadn’t considered it.
At least not before becoming Hidden Person; he couldn’t afford to waste that time.
“My biggest advantage now is not needing to spend lots of time quenching veins; breakthroughs will definitely be faster than other Seven Springs Martial Cultivators.”
“Moreover, the magic energy here is thick, comparable to Dao Domain.”
“I also need to quickly practice more Chan Sect Twelve Loose Hands Heavenly Law Integration moves; this way, same realm combat power will be stronger. For the third move, practice Overturning Hand Seal!”
In the insect tube, the seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors started rebelling again.
Li Weiyi had no choice but to release them, cutting off a jin of Rou Cong Rong to feed them.
Though very disdainful of this ordinary medicinal herb, the seven starved Emperors still swiftly flew over to gnaw.
“Hidden Sect definitely has lots of precious medicine; this place looks resource-rich at a glance.”
Li Weiyi’s eyes lit up; after opening the formation, he rushed out of the cave mansion.
Just after leaving the Blood Tree Forest, he saw Yin Twenty-Four returning from Silver Beach River Valley. Li Weiyi quickly went up. After thinking several times, the other was younger than him; couldn’t call her sister, right?
“Twenty-Four Young Lady, do you have any more precious medicine? I… seem hungry!” Li Weiyi said.
“Flattering won’t work; call me Yin Twenty-Four.”
Yin Twenty-Four stood with her back to the Blood River. Though only sixteen years old, she was very heroic and valiant, face stern as she said: “There isn’t that much precious medicine. If hungry, go to the medicinal cuisine room by the Mind Power Stone Wall; beast blood medicinal cuisine is provided every day. Beast blood medicinal cuisine can quench your physical body, making your body stronger, but the materials are mostly medicinal herbs and old herbs; a pot only adds one or two precious medicines.”
Li Weiyi was slightly disappointed, then asked again: “I’m an Insect Tamer; can I bring my insects to eat medicinal cuisine too?”
“You’re also an Insect Tamer?”
Yin Twenty-Four looked at him with new eyes and said: “Dual cultivation of martial arts and mind power is rare. What is your mind power realm?”
“Still nourishing Square Inch Flame, but should soon reach Square Inch Blazing Fire.” Li Weiyi said.
Yin Twenty-Four felt played; she had some expectations at first, thinking Li Weiyi might become Yin Twenty-Six. After all, this was Jiu Li Insect Valley; Insect Tamers had natural advantages.
But mind power was so weak.
Or rather, practically none.
“You can bring your insects to eat medicinal cuisine.”
After tossing that, Yin Twenty-Four prepared to leave, but suddenly thought of something and stopped: “Want precious medicine? Strive to pass the first trial after one month; there’s a chance to pick some during the trial. Trial passers also get precious medicine medicinal cuisine rewards.”
“Why roll eyes at me again?”
Li Weiyi felt he was really sincere, polite, and humble.
But thinking he could bring the seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors to eat for free, all unhappiness was instantly thrown aside.
“Hmm… Spiritual Light also needs intensified cultivation to quickly reach Square Inch Blazing Fire realm; otherwise, it’s hard to command those seven little guys. And underground is Insect Race’s domain; stronger mind power definitely means greater advantage.”
Li Weiyi clenched his fingers excitedly, returned to the cave mansion, grabbed the insect tube, and headed straight for the medicinal cuisine room.
…
One month passed in a flash.
Peaceful, harmonious, carefree, like a paradise outside the world—this was Li Weiyi’s evaluation of the month since arriving at the Hidden Sect.
He sat cross-legged in the Blood Tree Forest, secretly using the spatial power of the Buddha’s Sarira to continuously pull the blood-colored radiance emitted from the leaves into his brow.
Ten days ago, he had broken through.
The Spiritual Light Flame in the Forehead Spirit Realm had grown into Spiritual Light Blazing Fire.
After the mind power realm breakthrough, his control over Buddha’s Sarira spatial power was stronger; within three zhang, he could control it finely. So he dared to boldly absorb the blood light in the Blood Tree Forest.
In just ten short days, the Spiritual Light Blazing Fire in the Forehead Spirit Realm had grown like a ripe red jujube.
Perhaps due to absorbing blood light, his Spiritual Light Blazing Fire was somewhat red.
Noticing Yao Yin exit the cave mansion, Li Weiyi immediately stopped urging the Buddha’s Sarira, tucked away the Dao Ancestor Tai Chi Fish into his collar, straightened his clothes and robe, and hurriedly left the Blood Tree Forest.
At the beginning, he didn’t leave as quickly as now but continued sitting in the dense forest…
Which caused quite a misunderstanding.
“It’s him again!”
Yao Yin was speechless; that guy was always sneaking around in the Blood Tree Forest—who knew what he was up to?
Before, he would pretend to sit cross-legged on the ground, faking mind power cultivation.
Now, as soon as she exited the cave mansion, he would hurriedly leave.
Of course, from Li Weiyi’s perspective, he didn’t feel sneaky or hurriedly at all; every time he acted very calm and composed.
“No, I must break through to Eight Springs as soon as possible; I can’t stay alone with him on Blood Tree Forest Cliff anymore. The one-month protection period is about to end; what if he’s plotting something…”
Yao Yin knew Li Weiyi was very strange; clearly Seven Springs cultivation, but extremely powerful strength.
Most crucially, the other had long targeted her.
During this time, Yao Yin dressed more conservatively, even wore a veil, trying to stay indoors as much as possible.
Li Weiyi arrived at the medicinal cuisine room a step ahead of Yao Yin.
Yao Yin chose the seat farthest from Li Weiyi, her gaze not only cold but with disgust, as if being under the same eaves as Li Weiyi made her uncomfortable all over.
The other boys and girls from the same batch arrived one after another.
They rarely gathered so completely.
The first trial was about to begin; this next meal would be the last for many.
…
Eight thousand words, continue begging for monthly tickets.
