Chapter 430 Thanks to the Gao Family for their Gift
Yu Zhiyi disposed of the Second Elder's body.
Turning around, she saw Lin Qingxi looking down at her, determined not to look in her direction.
Yu Zhiyi withdrew her gaze and began to concentrate on sorting out her spoils.
The appearance of the three members of the Gao family was just in time, not only making up for her lack of knowledge about the Hidden Realm, but also bringing her a large number of spirit stones.
These three people are much richer than Gao Wenfeng and his son.
Gao Wenfeng and his son together only had a little over a hundred spirit stones, while the gray-robed man and the blue-robed man had a full five hundred.
The Second Elder was even wealthier, possessing over three thousand spirit stones on his own.
Now, Yu Zhiyi has accumulated over four thousand spirit stones.
After a moment of joy, Yu Zhiyi fell into deep thought.
How could she, a dignified cultivator who risked her life to enter the Dao, have fallen into the situation of making a fortune by killing and robbing?
However, she quickly put this question out of her mind.
The spirit stone was very good; it was delivered to her by the Gao family themselves. If she hesitated even slightly, it would be disrespectful to their "kindness."
Besides spirit stones, the second elder and the other two also had many other valuable items.
For example, elixirs and talismans.
The three people's storage rings contained many talismans whose functions Yu Zhiyi did not know.
Despite being from the Hidden Realm, Lin Qingxi's knowledge of talismans is not as comprehensive as Yu Zhiyi's, and she is completely unable to help with distinguishing the effects of talismans.
Lin Qingxi felt extremely ashamed.
Before long, Yu Zhiyi had finished organizing her spoils.
After thinking for a moment, she handed a dress and a mid-grade magic weapon to Lin Qingxi.
Weapons in the Hidden Realm are divided into two main categories: treasure weapons and spiritual weapons.
Each category is further divided into four levels: superior, medium, inferior, and top-grade.
Among them, the best spiritual artifacts are the best weapons, while the lowest grade treasures are the worst.
Of course, even the lowest grade of treasure artifacts is of a quality that ordinary weapons cannot match.
According to Elder Gao Er, the Nameless Sword is a low-grade spiritual weapon, while Qingfeng Zhenren's Qingfeng Sword is a high-grade spiritual weapon.
However, even the second-year elder couldn't discern the level of that black stick.
The grading system for armor is the same as that for weapons.
The dress that Yu Zhiyi took out was a set of low-grade spiritual artifact armor.
Although it's just a low-grade spiritual artifact, most people in the Hidden Realm nowadays use treasure artifacts. After Lin Qingxi puts on this dress, she can protect herself from most malicious attacks.
As for why she wasn't given a better weapon...
Because the Second Elder and the others did not have any better weapons in their inventory.
Lin Qingxi waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that he had not done anything to deserve such a reward.
She only served as an observer and atmosphere-maker when Miss Yu was dealing with those people; how could she be qualified to accept such a valuable item?
"Take these. With these things, even if you still want to marry into the Zhong family in the future, you'll be able to live a better life."
Lin Qingxi hesitated.
"how?"
Lin Qingxi blinked and said with a wry smile, "I'm not afraid to tell you, Miss Yu, but apart from being sad for a while when I had a falling out with Zhong Zhehao, I haven't thought about him at all since."
The time spent with Miss Yu was truly thrilling and exciting.
Whether it was her swift and decisive disposal of those demonic beasts, her decisive distribution of the three hundred spirit stones to herself, or her swift killing of that Golden Core realm expert...
Miss Yu never advised her to give up on love, nor did she urge her to become stronger.
But as she stood at the gate of Wanyuan City, a voice in Lin Qingxi's heart kept reminding her that love would only waste her time and slow down her sword-drawing speed.
If she were as powerful as Miss Yu, would Zhong Zhehao still dare to treat her like that?
Would Ding Xueyan dare to cause trouble again?
The answer is yes, they dare not.
"Miss Yu, are you leaving?"
Lin Qingxi felt a pang of reluctance.
She only spent a few days with Miss Yu, but she felt more fulfilled and satisfied than she had been with Zhong Zhehao for more than ten years.
"I have some business to attend to in the city. I'll leave as soon as I'm done."
Lin Qingxi's face lit up with joy: "Then... shall I treat you to dinner?"
Fearing that Yu Zhiyi would refuse, she quickly added, "I am grateful for your care during this time, and I would like to do something to express my gratitude."
Yu Zhiyi hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse.
Anyway, it doesn't take long to eat a meal.
There was also a transformation mirror on the city gate of Wanyuan City. This time, Yu Zhiyi didn't stare at it like she had never seen anything like it before.
There was no deliberate avoidance.
Because she changed her clothes and put on light makeup.
Thanks to Hongluan, as a top-notch embroiderer, her greatest skill is not only in making clothes, but also in makeup. Her makeup skills are superb, and she can completely transform a person's appearance using rouge and powder.
Yu Zhiyi, influenced by what she saw and heard, also learned a lot.
Before disembarking from the flying sword, Lin Qingxi stared at her in confusion for a long time.
Miss Yu's facial features remained distinct and unchanged, but for some reason, she felt that Miss Yu was like a completely different person.
She just didn't dare to say or ask any more questions.
Yu Zhiyi naturally wouldn't offer any explanation.
The reason they tampered with her makeup was because the second-year elder had said that they had discovered her whereabouts through the Transformation Mirror.
After Gao Wenfeng's incident, the Gao family sent three people to investigate the cause of his death.
Since Gao Wenfeng's incident occurred after his son Gao Yaowen's death, the three decided to start their investigation from Gao Yaowen's death.
Gao Yaowen died in the secular world, which the three of them could easily find out. There were only a handful of people in the secular world who had the ability to take action against him.
Among them, the most famous within the Great Sheng Empire was Yu Zhiyi.
At the same time, they also heard that Qingfeng Zhenren had died in the Great Sheng Empire. It was said that the Taixu Sect was hunting her down with all their might.
Coincidentally, in the image left by the image stone that Gao Wenfeng sent back to the Gao family before his death, although her face was not shown, Qingfeng Zhenren's Qingfeng Sword appeared.
The Gao family members then guessed that she had come to the Hidden Realm.
Moreover, it definitely won't take long.
To enter the hidden realm from the mortal world, one must cross the Yunzhi Mountains. The first stop is a teleportation array dozens of miles away from the Yunzhi Mountains, followed by Shoushi City.
Therefore, the three members of the Gao family had been waiting patiently for the opportunity to strike.
In fact, they should have discovered Yu Zhiyi's whereabouts on the very day she entered the city. Coincidentally, on that day, Shoushi City opened up a batch of longevity pills for ordering, with the highest bidder winning.
The three of them went to watch the excitement.
Yu Zhiyi also learned from the second-year elder that although the Transformation Mirror could see through all disguises, it could only see through disguises such as magic.
In ordinary disguises, the use of a shape-shifting mirror is not very effective.
So, Yu Zhiyi simply put on makeup.
The rouge and face powder used to enhance her charm diluted her pure and ethereal temperament, adding a touch of worldliness.
She looked at herself in the transformation mirror and silently gave herself a thumbs up.
"Miss Yu, let's go eat first."
Lin Qingxi asked.
"I need to take care of some important business first."
Lin Qingxi knew that there were priorities, so she quickly changed her question: "Do you need any help?"
"Miss Lin, could you please show me the way? I'd like to go to the Zhong residence."
Lin Qingxi was taken aback: "Zhong Mansion? Which Zhong Mansion?"
"The Zhong family mansion where your fiancé, Zhong Zhehao, resides."
Lin Qingxi: "Huh??"
