Chapter 580: Breakthrough again, slaughtering sheep, Master Yi, virtuous, one day later, unexpected visitor, the evil suppressor
Through these two days of financial alchemy, as well as the contributions of the four old friends from the Ghost Worshiping Cult, Yi Chen's true skills actually made breakthroughs and were promoted by two levels.
You know, it has not even been seven days since he first came to this world.
With Yi Chen's current martial arts realm and relying on the fifteenth level of true skills, he can fight off a few moves even if he meets a master who has just entered the Jie Dao realm.
And he did all this thanks to his hard work!
"I'm tired, tired. Let Li Shiran and the Guo family clean up the battlefield and deal with the aftermath. After all, after this battle, Li Shiran has revealed his true identity and officially joined the Guo family. Now the three major families in Yangcheng can only accept it even if they know they are being fooled."
Yi Chen thought about it for a long time and after feeling that there was nothing missing, he rushed towards Hua Manlou.
In order to appease the three spirits in his body, Yi Chengzi could only make some sacrifices.
"Come on, change a group!"
Inside the Hua Man Lou box, while the people of Yangcheng were in a panic, Yi Chen was bragging and chatting with Master Guo.
In life, you can eat without meat, but you must wash your feet.
Yi Chen leaned his head on the soft jade, opened his mouth wide, and swallowed the fruit handed to him by an courtesan with a smile. "Brother Yi, what do you think a guy like me should do if I meet a good girl?" Master Guo frowned, as if he had something bothering him, and he asked Yi Chen abruptly.
“Then don’t miss it.”
"What should I do if she is a bad girl?"
"Then don't waste it!"
"Ah? Waste?"
"What are you talking about, nagging mother? If you have something to say, just say it. If you have to fart, just fart!"
"Hey, thanks to you, Brother Yi, someone from the Liu family came today. It was my fiancée who broke off the engagement and sent me a letter. She asked me to go outing alone today."
"But after all these changes, I feel that Xiaotian is no longer the simple and kind girl I thought she was."
"But Brother Yi, you really woke me up today. I already know what to do."
After pondering for a while, as if he had let go of some worry, Mr. Guo let out a long breath, then he lay down and relaxed, enjoying himself.
"Oh, you finally got it. By the way, is your fiancée Xiao Tian really that beautiful?"
Yi Chen opened his eyes at this moment and teased the little black fat man beside him.
"Hey, Brother Yi, you know me. I am face-blind and can't tell whether Xiao Tian is pretty or not."
"But Xiao Tian is well-read, and she looks really good dressed as a female scholar."
At this moment, the little black fat man rolled up his sleeves and immediately turned into a pig-like appearance.
Yi Chen: “.”
"So what are you going to do now?"
"I'll listen to Brother Yi and not waste it. Brother Yi, you may not believe me, but although my Guo family is quite wealthy, I, Guo Yuwen, have always hated wasting food. I will eat every grain of rice on the edge of the bowl!"
"ah?"
Suddenly, Yi Chen felt that the words in his ear seemed familiar, and he couldn't help but start to look carefully at the little black fat man beside him.
"Brother Guo, why don't you join the army? I think you can be a general!"
"Brother Yi, please stop making trouble. I, Guo Yuwen, can't carry anything on my shoulders or lift anything with my hands. How can I be a general?"
"Haha, Brother Guo, I was just joking."
——
At night, the moonlight is as silver.
The bright moonlight illuminates the Yangchangzi River, making it as beautiful as a jade belt.
This river was the one that Yi Chen saw when he first came to this world. Tonight, he came to the place where his dream began to cast a few rods and wait for Fairy Shi Ran to give him the balance.
After the continuous price cuts and the news that Gu Han Health Wine would lose its efficacy after three days, the city of Guangzhou fell into panic during the day.
Especially the three leading families were simply mad with hatred, but after Li Shiran revealed his identity as a member of the Tianxing Sect, all the big families in Yangcheng lost their temper, because Li Shiran had already taken over the Guo family.
They knew that the Guo family had climbed up this big tree and the situation was already determined. At least with their own strength, they could no longer move against the Guo family. Therefore, they could only place their hopes on the Daqian court and ask for help from their master's family.
However, contrary to their expectations, the eunuch Wu from the court did not express any dissatisfaction with the disciple of Tianxing Sect named Li Shiran taking over the Guo family. Instead, he asked the Yangcheng County Magistrate, now the Yangcheng County Lord, to cooperate with the Guo family to restore order in Yangcheng as soon as possible.
Judging from the words and the meaning, such a statement clearly acquiesced to Li Shiran's control over the largest family and related industries in Yangcheng, but the letter for help they sent to the host family was like a stone sinking into the sea, without causing any waves.
It was as calm as their property thrown into the water; not even a ripple was seen after they threw it in.
After all, their level is too low and they can't understand the ins and outs of this. Daqian was in the wrong in the matter of Yangcheng, not to mention that the eldest senior brother of the inner sect of Tianxing Sect was killed here this time. How dare they make things difficult for Li Shiran? You have to know that this lady is from the Li family of Tianxing Sect.
After the last straw of life fell, all the wealthy families in Yangcheng were devastated, while the Guo family became the hottest family in Yangcheng. Countless people began to fawn on the Guo family, and the Liu family who broke off the engagement with the fat black man was obviously one of these people.
It is obvious that Miss Xiaotian's change of heart was mostly due to this reason.
"Well, the Guo family has become the number one family in Yangcheng after the incident, the Tianxing Sect has gained a wedge into Daqian, and the people of Yangcheng who lost money have also obtained land with much lower taxes than before. Now that the matter is settled, I will leave after collecting the final payment."
Yi Chen looked at the calm lake, sighed in his heart, and began to think about what to do next.
Under the moonlight, his thick eyebrows were twisted again.
His mind was focused and at this moment, a strange black mark not much bigger than the tip of a needle appeared again in the depths of his sea of consciousness.
Everyone in the Tianxing Sect underestimated this black seal.
Because this thing cannot infect high-level cultivators, only Yi Chen, whose soul has reached the Dao Fruit realm, can see some clues.
On the surface, the black mark seemed to have disappeared under the suppression of the Tianyang Divine Water. In fact, that extremely faint but tenacious mark had already been hidden in his body, but it was more obscure and stubborn.
"Hey, Daoguo, Daoguo!"
"So, the Ghost Worship Cult went to such great lengths to spread the Black Seal just for this?"
"Kill two birds with one stone. What a good trick!"
Suddenly, Yi Chen seemed to have caught a glimpse of a corner of the Ghost Worship Cult's plan.
When the Black Mark encounters a practitioner who has magical powers to protect him, it is almost impossible for him to be infected by this foreign substance. Only ordinary people are the targets of the large-scale spread of the Black Mark.
Since no cultivator with profound cultivation has been infected by the black mark, naturally there is no possibility that anyone will discover the mystery of the black mark.
Yi Chen is now almost certain that the black seal is the killer move of the Ghost Worshiping Cult. The Tianyang Divine Water secretly developed by the Tianxing Sect seems to counter the black seal, but in fact it is only a temporary solution and not a cure.
The sinister power in the black seal has been strangely combined with the host's spirit, lurking deep in the sea of consciousness. Only a strong man like him can see it as if he were observing the patterns in the palm of his hand.
Once the source of this mark revives, the creatures that have been contaminated by the black mark will become puppets of this mark. Their blood, energy, souls, everything will have no control over and will all be absorbed by this strange black mark.
And if you want to solve this problem, you can only use Dao Fruit, which is the power to reverse matter! Only the power of Dao Fruit can fight against Dao Fruit! "How vicious, repairing the plank road in the open, but secretly attacking Chencang! The master of this black seal must have set up a back-up plan to use the hands of all the spirits in the world to make up for his own power that has been dormant for countless years."
"Those ordinary people who were infected with the Black Mark are all his blood bags."
"Even if the people infected with the black mark seem to be saved, in fact, they have only delayed their demise."
"But, damn it, why are you bothering me?"
"Why do you all force me?"
“!@#￥%”
By the creek, Yi Chen cursed loudly.
This unlucky predecessor had really screwed his Yi Chengzi over, and actually left him such a big backdoor. If he wanted to completely get rid of this hidden worry, he would need to restore the ability to reverse matter, which means at least raising his true power to the twenty-sixth level.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Just when Yi Chen was feeling resentful, he suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums in the distance. He used his mental power to scan and saw that it was Li Shiran leading a group of people heading towards the direction where he was fishing.
A sheep was tied up on an escalator, with a strong man standing on each side holding the escalator upright. From a distance, it looked as if the fat sheep on the escalator was standing up.
At the front of the team was the veiled Li Shiran.
"Master Yi, the people of Yangcheng know that it was you who urged me to give them the land deeds as farms for them to cultivate, and they have to follow me to thank you. I am helpless!"
"And they already know that a considerable portion of those acres were bought by you, Master Yi, with all your wealth and given to me."
Soon, the huge team arrived. Li Shiran blinked at Yi Chen and forced a chuckle.
The smile revealed a bit of joy and a bit of loneliness.
Yi Chen thought about it for a moment and understood the reason. No matter what, Duan Zhenliu eventually died while helping her.
Maybe he had no romantic feelings for Duan Zhenliu, but there was always friendship between fellow disciples, so it was normal for him to be in a bad mood.
"I was born in Yangcheng, and now I am just giving back to my hometown. The folks are really too polite."
"Fairy Shiran, I, Yichengzi, never leave my name behind when doing good deeds. Why are you telling this to everyone!" Yi Chen smiled awkwardly.
He didn't know if the people in front of him would still be so grateful to him if they knew that the Divine Doctor Meng who left without saying goodbye was him.
After all, Yichengzi did not produce any land, he was just a porter of the land.
"Those who carry firewood for the people should not be allowed to freeze to death in the snow and wind. Master Yi, please accept the kindness of the people."
"I heard from the elders in Yangcheng that tying a sheep to a ladder, standing it up to kill it, hollowing out its internal organs, wrapping it with spices and roasting it is the highest etiquette that the people of Yangcheng have always used to express their gratitude to the great people. Now, they insist on showing their gratitude, and Shi Ran can't stop them!"
"Yes, Master Yi, you are a wise man! I heard from Fairy Shi Ran that there is an evil spirit coming this time. If it weren't for Master Yi's righteous action, our Yangcheng would be in danger. What's more, Master Yi spent all his family wealth to buy land and donated it to Fairy Shi Ran. You are all great people!"
An elderly man with gray hair grinned, revealing his two front teeth. He then slammed his cane hard on the ground, "Dazhu, Dazhuang, you have no sense at all. Prepare to kill a sheep and offer it to our two great benefactors in Yangcheng!"
Hearing the old man's order, the two strong men standing on the left and right of the escalator looked at each other. One of them stood behind the escalator and held it steadily, while the other one took off the sharp knife from his waist, blew on the tip of the knife, and walked towards the sheep standing on the escalator with a murderous look on his face.
Suddenly, a sharp thrust!!! Meow! The sheep on the escalator screamed madly.
Under Yi Chen's shocked gaze, the sharp knife in the sturdy man's hand turned white in and yellow out!
This... this is a poop bag, how can I eat this horse! "Ah, Master, it's all because the sheep struggled so hard, Da Zhuang's hand slipped a little, I'm going to kill it now!"
"I'll wash it thoroughly before grilling!"
The big man holding the sharp knife looked at the yellow and white thing on the tip of the knife, scraped the knife across the wool, and laughed awkwardly for a moment.
This time he learned from his previous lesson, bent his waist, stood still, found the target accurately, and stabbed it with all his strength.
Meow! The ewe's head tilted on the escalator, and blood gushed out like a fountain! "Quick, Cuihua, bring a basin and some salt!"
"This sheep's blood is also a good thing, don't waste it!"
Yi Chen looked at the busy crowd in front and behind him, and for a moment, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Even the bad mood of the Air Force tonight dissipated a lot.
By bringing his predecessor, the seven-spotted ladybug, to such a height that the people of Yangcheng slaughtered sheep to show their respect for it, Yichengzi can be said to have lived up to his body.
Amidst laughter and joy, the people who were accompanying them were busy having fun, some boiling water, some chopping wood.
Some people even built a bonfire directly in the woods.
Dawn soon arrived as they sang and danced, and they slowly dispersed amidst the continuous thanks from the crowd.
"Master Yi, this is the remaining jade money, please count it."
Li Shiran took out a bag of jade coins and handed it to Yi Chen. Under the moonlight, her starry eyes stared at his handsome face and said, "Young Master, you are a talented young man. How about you come with me to return to Tianxing Sect this time?"
"Shi Ran has some influence in the sect. When it comes to cultivation, the four most important things are wealth, companions, Dharma and land. As long as you come back with me, Shi Ran guarantees that you will be able to enter our Tianxing Sect to practice, and from then on, you will rise to the top and attain the immortal status!"
"Thank you for your kindness, Fairy. I am used to being an idle wanderer. Let's talk about joining the Tianxing Sect later."
Yi Chen didn't know why the woman in front of him cursed him when she had no grudge against him, but he still decisively chose to refuse.
Now that Daqian is in turmoil and evil spirits are everywhere, it is the time for Yichengzi to show his skills and deal with the Crimson Dot. He must be crazy to follow her back to the mountain.
He, Yi Chengzi, wants to develop secretly and then surprise everyone!
"Okay then!" A hint of disappointment flashed across Li Shiran's eyes, but she did not persuade him any further. Instead, she turned and left. The cold moonlight stretched her shadow out.
The next day, the sun rose.
Seeing that there was no one around, Yi Chen lay down by the river, drank a sip of water, then turned around and walked away.
If it weren't for the danger of the black mark hanging like a sharp blade over Yichengzi's head, how could Yichengzi be in this state today!
In order to achieve the level of reversing matter, he must push his true power to the twenty-sixth level. Therefore, even if he was empty-handed today, he was too lazy to waste time.
However, just as he walked out of Yangcheng, a middle-aged scholar with a white face and no beard blocked his way! "Why are you blocking my way, eunuch?"
"I would like to ask Master Yi to kill demons and evil spirits for Daqian and become the evil-suppressing envoy hired by Daqian. What do you think? I see that Master Yi seems to be in great need of jade coins. You can name your price." The middle-aged Confucian scholar said with a smile.
"What? Eunuch, don't you know that this turmoil was caused by the True Blood Cult and the Ghost Worship Cult working together?"
"What's wrong? Is Master Yi afraid? From what I've seen, you're not a coward!" The middle-aged scholar frowned. He wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Yi Chen's cold voice, "No, what I mean is that it's very dangerous to deal with the evildoers of the Ghost Worshiping Cult and the True Blood Cult. It costs extra money!"
