Chapter 44 Lack of Money

The light in the cabin was dim with the doors and windows closed.

Li Weiyi poured all the coins, including those he got from the corpses of Xing Wanxing, Fang Tong and Yan Qingqing, onto the table. They piled up into a small mountain and he counted them carefully twice.

"Eighty-two Yongquan coins, one hundred and eighty-seven silver coins, and eighty copper coins."

One Yongquan coin = one hundred silver coins = ten thousand copper coins.

Li Weiyi already had a certain understanding of the purchasing power of this world. For example, from Yaoguan to Jiuli City, a nine- to ten-day voyage, one person's ship fee was eight silver coins. Zhao Meng was an exception, and he had sixty-four silver coins.

If the sarcophagus is shipped, an additional fee of sixteen silver coins will be charged.

The daily food and beverage expenses were also a considerable expense. Fortunately, when Zhao Meng left the bronze ship, he had a lot of Golden Crow Blood and Black Dragon Blood in bottles and jars to consume, otherwise he alone would have eaten the food of dozens of people.

But Li Weiyi was also taking the Golden Crow Blood and the Black Dragon Blood, so they would definitely be consumed in no time.

Li Weiyi asked Zhao Zhizhe about the price of a house in Jiuli City and was shocked. Even if it was just a small courtyard outside the city that could accommodate five or six people and had a good location close to the main city, it would cost tens of thousands of silver coins.

Even if the location is poor or remote, it will cost nearly ten thousand silver coins.

All in all, all the money he has now is enough to buy a small house like this.

Those big ones, even those within the city, are hard to even think about.

Of course, he also has many magical instruments, including a coffin from another world, which can be sold at a high price.

This is the reason why he dared to settle down temporarily in Jiuli City!

"Privately selling the coffin from another world is risky, so I have to wait a little longer. I can sell a magic weapon first, but as a cultivator from outside the Yongquan Realm with no foundation, wouldn't it be too conspicuous and bring me trouble?" Li Weiyi said to himself.

The corpse in the sarcophagus said, "Can we invite Li Ling? She is the guide of the Dark Light and the granddaughter of the chief of the Cangli tribe."

Li Weiyi had already explained all the causes and consequences in detail to everyone, which naturally caused a lot of laughter and confusion.

Everyone agreed that there was only one unreasonable point.

That is, why did Li Ling want to get close to him? So many magic tools couldn't move her heart, so what else could she do? The spiritual elder told Li Weiyi that since Li Ling was the Dark Light Guide, it was possible that she had opened up the "Perception and Wisdom". Opening up the "Perception and Wisdom" meant winning the competition for the Guide and becoming the successor of the priest.

The Dark Lantern Guide can predict the good or bad of an event and find the right path in the Death Mist. The Dark Lantern Guide who has activated the "Perception Wisdom" has a special ability, which is that once they truly fall in love with a man, they can find him by perception no matter how far away he is.

Senior Lingwei felt that this was the only reasonable explanation, otherwise all of Li Ling’s behaviors were too weird.

Li Weiyi never dared to be narcissistic or arrogant, and did not think he had such charm. But what was troubling was that Li Ling did not release malice, did not take the initiative, but became more and more sincere.

He just wanted to draw a line as soon as possible...

Asking her to help sell magic tools would not create another bond?

The sound of camel bells rang in Li Weiyi's mind.

Suddenly, a myriad of distracting thoughts and negative emotions came flooding in, as if they were about to be eaten. He quickly performed the Jade Void Breathing Technique, and after a quarter of an hour, his thoughts finally calmed down, and the sound of the bell in his mind dissipated.

Ever since he rang the evil camel bell in the Blood Sea Coffin Dock, summoned a giant camel bell, and killed Fang Tong, the sound of the camel bell appeared in his mind from time to time, as if some kind of connection had been established.

"It sounded again?" said the corpse in the sarcophagus.

Li Weiyi nodded: "It's getting more and more frequent, and the impact is getting bigger... Is there really no way to solve it?"

The remains of the corpse in the stone coffin said, "Yu Tuonan is not an ordinary person. Back then in the Demonic Kingdom Xiaoyaojing, only Yu Baxian could suppress him. The evil camel bell is even more powerful. It once caused turmoil in an entire habitat and caused a great bloodbath. It can be said that all the magic weapons you have mastered are not half as good as the evil camel bell."

"For you, if you use the evil camel bell well, it will be a very powerful trump card. Now, you can only summon a camel that is three or four meters tall, but in the future it may be a camel caravan, and the camel may also become a dragon-headed tuo camel."

"But if you can't suppress it, and let the evil affect your mind and consciousness, the consequences will be serious, and you may even fall into the devil's way."

"It should recognize you as its master when you use your magic power to shake it, but this kind of powerful magic weapon will often devour its master. As it continues to absorb the evil thoughts between heaven and earth, its soul energy will recover quickly and become stronger and stronger. You must be stronger than it to avoid being controlled by it."

"If you can invite a Jiuli tribe priest-level mind master, you can wipe out its soul energy at this stage and eliminate the hidden danger. Once it becomes strong enough, it will be difficult to wipe it out."

It's obviously too late to throw it now.

Senior Lingwei said: "Your breathing method is very powerful, but it is just a head-on attack. You must cultivate your spiritual light as soon as possible. The spiritual light can suppress the soul of the magic weapon. Then, you will be able to control it instead of it affecting you all the time."

“In addition, by opening the core of the Fifth Spring, warriors can also have a certain ability to resist and tame souls.” said the remains of the sarcophagus.

Master Guan, Senior Lingwei, and Senior Guan, they were obviously much weaker than Chanhai Guanwu and Yu Tuonan. After all, the latter two could already manifest their bodies and move freely.

“Knock, knock.”

There was a knock on the door.

"Thank you, brother. The fourth girl has woken up." Zhao Zhizhuo's voice sounded outside.

After putting all the coins away, Li Weiyi pushed the door open and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, don't call me Brother Xie anymore. We are family and there is nothing to hide. My real name is Li Weiyi. You can call me Weiyi or Brother Li."

Li Weiyi had a very sharp hearing and had already noticed Li Ling's little movements.

He had a good impression of Zhao Zhizhuo, who, out of gratitude, would rather conceal the matter of the young clan leader and Li Ling than tell them about the magic weapon. In this world, it is extremely difficult to distinguish between gratitude and resentment.

Zhao Zhizhuo pretended to have just learned about it, and after a few words of surprise and joke, he said, "Okay, I'll call you Brother Li, but don't call me Mr. Zhao anymore, just call me Old Zhao. Haha!"

He had a greater approval of Li Weiyi in his heart.

He could understand why Li Weiyi concealed his real name. After all, when one's cultivation was low, one should be extremely cautious. If Li Weiyi was jumping up and down because he helped the Cangli tribe and thought he was a great person, he would repay the favor as soon as possible and stay away from him.

The two walked along the corridor outside the cabin, and Li Weiyi asked, "Old Zhao, you said before that you were the Erquan who was re-cultivated. Is it possible to reshape the spring after it is broken?"

The smile on Zhao Zhizhuo's face faded, and he said bitterly: "It is very difficult to reshape the Broken Springs. It requires great perseverance. After so many years, I have only reshaped two springs. Unless we can find the most advanced magic tools, we may be able to reshape them quickly with the power of the magic tools."

"But such a magical instrument..."

"Let's put it this way. The only thing in our entire Jiuli tribe that has this ability is the lost magic weapon in the legend. Otherwise, why would the tribe help me recover my cultivation back then... Alas..."

Zhao Zhizhuo sighed with a heavy heart, having fallen from the pinnacle to the dust, having endured countless humiliations, ridicules, and abuses. His heart should have been calmed down, but today, Li Ling and Li Weiyi reminded him of those painful memories.

He was once very successful and was admired by thousands of people.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Not wanting to talk about it any further, he said, "We're here!"

Li Weiyi pondered in his heart whether he should try to help him after he opened the Fifth Spring Center or cultivated his spiritual light and was able to control the evil camel bell.

The thought only flashed through my mind.

The exposure of a magical weapon of this level is no small matter, and you must think twice before acting.

Li Ling had a semi-immortal body, with skin as delicate and white as jade wax, and long hair hanging down on both sides of her cheeks like black silk. Under the setting sun outside the door, her facial contours were clear and her profile was extremely perfect.

"Haven't you always wanted to draw a line between us? Why did you save me? Now, won't the line be blurred again?" she said.

Li Weiyi found a stool and sat down, saying, "I think anyone would try to help in that situation. It's just a matter of convenience."

Li Ling said, "Really? I remember that when I was seriously injured and lost consciousness, Fang Tong was still alive. If you want to save me, you have to deal with him first, which is not an easy task. I must repay such a great favor and friendship, right?"

Li Weiyi was afraid that she would say something about promising herself to him, but Zhao Zhizhuo was still beside her, so she quickly said, "Okay, give me the money!"

Li Ling frowned: "Are you short of money?"

"We will have to spend money everywhere when we go to Jiuli City. Although I have some savings, I can't just live off it all. It just so happens that you want to repay me." Li Weiyi believed that no matter how much Li Ling gave him, he deserved it.

Li Ling stopped talking about repaying the debt and asked, "Did Fang Tong escape?"

Li Weiyi thought for a moment and said, "He ran away very quickly."

"Have you cut off the heads of the other two?" She was very concerned about this.

"No, that would be too cruel."

Li Weiyi knew what she wanted, so he took out the Snow Wolf King's tooth necklace and said, "I think this is enough evidence!"

Li Ling wanted to get it.

Li Weiyi put it away, stared into her eyes and said, "I'm short of money."

"What do you need so much money for?" Li Ling asked.

Li Weiyi said: "Purchasing a house in Jiuli City is a huge expense, and I don't have enough money."

"With this necklace, I can apply for a large mansion for you from my clan." Li Ling said.

Li Weiyi shook his head: "I don't want to have too deep a connection with your Cangli tribe or Jiuli tribe. Once the Earth Wolf King's army investigates, it will lead to me. You must tell everyone that you took this wolf fang yourself. You just need to give me money!"

"Okay, I promise."

Li Ling smiled brightly: "Your consideration is correct! Jiuli City is indeed a place where money is wasted. No matter how much money you have, you can spend it. For martial arts training, even breaking through one realm costs tens of thousands of silver coins."

She was about to take the wolf tooth necklace, but Li Weiyi withdrew his hand again: "I still want to see Cai Yutong and Qi Shanshan, they are my companions."

Li Ling narrowed her eyes slightly: "Okay, I'll arrange it."

"You have to know that when I negotiate with you, I am actually trying to trust you. This is the only chance!" Li Weiyi said.

Li Ling said, "I know! If something goes wrong, we won't be friends anymore. We can only be enemies."
