Chapter 490 The Assassin
"Why are you disturbing me? Given the current situation, there's no time for me to retreat."
Li Weiyi took Yin Jiu and Yin Shiyi to the dining hall. "It's only been a day or two. What do they want from me?"
Yin Jiu said, "The combat power of the mind master displayed by the Shenyinren is enough to compete with the top geniuses of Daogong, and he has become a hot figure. Not to mention them, some old guys of the Jiuli tribe have asked me to contact you many times. I came here today to ask the Shenyinren to come out of seclusion because of Yaoyin. She wants to see you."
The ones in charge of the meals at the Hidden Sect’s stronghold are Old Man Aoshan and Hidden Twenty-Four.
Yu'er tied an apron and was busy helping out.
The three of them sat down at the table and soon breakfast was served, which was three bowls of hot noodle soup.
"She doesn't come to the Hidden Gate base? It seems she hasn't completely come out yet." Li Weiyi said.
Yin Jiu said, "After all, she's only eighteen years old, with clear-cut features and the courage to love and hate. Can you expect her to be like those old guys who have lived for a hundred years? If she takes all emotions lightly and can calmly accept all arrangements, it will really make people feel strange and worried."
Li Weiyi nodded and asked loudly, "Who made today's noodle soup?"
"It's Sister Twenty-four! Master, I helped to light the fire." Yu'er said as if to take credit, her little face covered with black dust, like a calico cat.
Li Weiyi said, "Not bad. My cultivation has fallen behind a lot in the past two years, but my cooking skills have improved."
Yin Twenty-four rolled his eyes at him and said, "My cultivation hasn't fallen behind."
"Your sister's cultivation has reached the third level of Daozhong Realm, but you are still in Wuhai Realm. When Yaoyin and I were in Yongquan Realm, you were already in Wuhai." Li Weiyi looked at him with disdain.
Yin Ershisi's full chest heaved with anger: "It seems that the Shenyin people can't eat too much. I didn't provoke you."
Yin Jiu suppressed a smile. In the entire Yin Sect, there really wasn't another person as sharp-edged as him. In the world today, apart from those giants in the Immortal Realm, it would be hard to find another person who would dare to respond to Li Weiyi in this way.
Yin Shiyi said, "Her cultivation speed is quite fast, and she is almost reaching the fifth realm. I am in the Five Seas Realm, and my cultivation speed is far inferior to hers. You and Yao Yin are two monsters... uh, two young emperors..."
"Alas, I can't comprehend the battle tactics of the Jiuli God. I can't keep up with my practice. From now on, I will practice my cooking skills and take over the job of the elder who cooks the food. Take this dragon seed, and stop cursing in your heart, I can hear it all."
Li Weiyi took out the only remaining dragon seed and placed it on the table.
Afterwards, he left the base with Yin Jiu and Yin Shiyi and headed to Hai City.
In fact, Li Weiyi had two dragon seeds left, and the other one was in Lingxiao City, which he gave to Zhuang Yue.
Yin Ershishi watched the three people walk away before he quickly stepped forward and put away the dragon seed. His eyes changed from confusion and surprise to incredible joy.
Surprisingly, the guy didn't take the opportunity to ask for an exorbitant price. Perhaps he felt that even if he sold her, he wouldn't be able to afford her.
Fortunately, with the dragon seed, the realm of immortality is no longer out of reach.
"Twenty-fourth sister, Master just likes to argue with you, but actually he cares about you very much." Yu'er said.
Yin Ershisi was speechless, nodded slightly, and took Yu'er to wash her face.
…
Li Weiyi and Yao Yin took a small boat and traveled through the rivers of Hai City, attracting the envy and jealous eyes of countless martial artists.
Yao Yin sat at the bow of the boat, took out a silk gauze hat and put it on her head, but she could still feel the burning gazes from both sides of the river and hear all kinds of discussions.
"It's the Nine Li Divine Hidden Man and the Yao Saintess from the Du'e Temple. They're both sailing on the river again. They were assassinated in Haishi last time."
"I really envy Li Weiyi, Saint Lady Yao, who has such a noble status, yet she obeys him in everything. It's hard for others to see him, but he can be alone with them anytime."
"You're envious of this?"
"Have you heard of Jiang Ning, Lingxiao's most beautiful woman? She's his confidante, and she was personally acknowledged as such in Lingxiao City."
"If I were his fiancée, Zuoqiu Hongting, I would have called off the engagement long ago. Before I did, I would have taught him a lesson. He's going too far."
"A lesson? Although Jiuli Shenyinren's martial arts path has been cut short, his speed in cultivating telekinesis is terrifyingly fast. His unparalleled heroic performance at the general selection banquet, how many of Lingxiao's younger generation can compare to him?"
"Bei Shaojun and Nan Shenyin, their cultivation speed is simply incredible. Once Nan Shenyin breaks through and becomes a Holy Spirit Mind Master, all the criticisms against him will vanish into thin air."
…
Yao Yin whispered, "Is this what you call a relaxation technique? What on earth are you planning?"
"There's no medicine for sale. I'm here to buy medicine."
Li Weiyi put away the intelligence information about the four great masters of Zongsheng Xuehai given by Yinjun, raised his head, and saw Ma Ye's stall from afar.
The boat moored beside the stall.
Of course, Master Ma knew the identities of the two people in front of him. When he saw the big customer coming, his eyes suddenly lit up and he stood up to greet him.
Li Weiyi asked, "Are there any five thousand year old medicinal herbs?"
"Yes." said Master Ma.
Li Weiyi asked, "What's the price?"
"Fifteen million Yongquan coins, or fifteen top-grade blood crystals." said Master Ma.
Li Weiyi asked in a low voice: "Are there any spots left?"
Master Ma was stunned, secretly admiring the intelligence system of the Jiuli Hidden Sect. "There are only ten spots available, and everyone is vying for them. Since it's Shenyin Renwen, they have to squeeze out two spots, and each spot costs 10 million Yongquan coins."
"The price has been halved. It seems like spots are hard to sell."
Li Weiyi thought to himself and said in a voice transmission, "There are too many people here. Should we find a secluded place to trade? Also, I want to meet your two nephews. For such a big deal, we must confirm its authenticity."
"Okay." said Master Ma.
The price of the 5,000-year-old medicine is three times more expensive than the 4,000-year-old medicine I bought last time.
Normally, the elixir sent by Yin Jun, plus the elixir obtained from Qiongji Daozi's bag, is completely enough to slowly feed them to the ninth heaven.
However, if one wants the seven Phoenix-winged Moth Kings to grow to the eighth level of the Dao Seed Realm in a short period of time, one must purchase 5,000-year-old elixirs.
Master Ma closed his stall and took Li Weiyi and Yao Yin to the mansion where he lived.
He ordered the demon servant to serve tea.
He also sent a little demon to invite the Water Ox Fairy and Prince Baba.
Master Ma sat in the main hall, facing the main door, with a large hippopotamus head on his head. "The Hidden One is incredibly courageous. Isn't he afraid that Old Ma might have evil intentions?"
Li Weiyi sat down on the chair next to Master Ma and picked up his teacup. "Master Ma is no ordinary being, but the Jiuli Clan and Du'e Temple are not so easy to provoke. This is Yuelong Island's sea city. Of course, Princess Dengfeng's actions are another matter. We young people have our own fighting styles and rules."
After Master Ma laughed heartily, he took out a golden treasure box containing a thousand-year-old elixir from the bag on his waist.
Li Weiyi opened the treasure box, confirmed that it contained the 5,000-year-old White Jade Grass, and immediately closed it. He then took out the Thousand Characters Vessel he had prepared long ago and exchanged it for the medicine.
The first piece is a wheel-shaped Thousand Character Vessel.
At the foot of Yuntian Fairyland, he killed a transcendent disciple of the Demon Kingdom and took it away.
"A first-grade thousand-character vessel, exquisitely crafted, worth four million Yongquan coins."
The second Thousand-Character Artifact that Li Weiyi took out was the Tianji Sword of Qiongji Daozi.
Master Ma recognized it at a glance.
Li Weiyi said: "I got it from Liu Fengshu in a trade!"
"This sword is very extraordinary. It can be said that it is the capital of Qiongji Daozi's livelihood. It is worth 10 million Yongquan coins." said Master Ma.
Li Weiyi did not take any other Thousand Character Instruments. After taking out two Dao Fruits to pay the last one million Yongquan coins, he went to Ma Ye to buy a batch of materials including Transcendent Bone for refining the Heavenly Sword Talisman.
"I heard that Master Ma also sells news. For a big client like me, can you give me a piece of news for free?" Li Weiyi had an extraordinary demeanor, and his every move revealed confidence.
"Of course, of course, normal messages can be delivered."
Master Ma was very interested in establishing a long-term business relationship with this hidden Nine Li Divine Man. He also saw that this man was definitely not an ordinary person.
Li Weiyi asked, "Who tried to assassinate Saint Yao and me that day in Hai City?"
The people who were assassinated were actually Zuoqiu Hongting and Yao Yin.
Master Ma's eyes narrowed slightly.
Li Weiyi said, "Master Ma has great magical powers, it's impossible that he doesn't know."
How could it be an ordinary monster if it could casually produce a five-thousand-year-old elixir and call the Water Beaver Fairy and Prince Baba its nephews?
After nodding, Master Ma sighed, "This information is quite valuable. Consider it a friendship with the Hidden God! From what I know, the attackers are assassins trained by the White Barbarians among the Sandao bandits. However, their goal isn't to assassinate, but to capture Saint Yao."
Li Weiyi asked, "Who is the mastermind behind this?"
"The innate Taoist spirit of the Western demon clan is Bai Yeqing." said Master Ma.
Yao Yin sat aside, remaining quiet.
But Li Weiyi could feel that the fluctuations in her heartbeat and breathing were not the state of her true self.
He clasped his fists and said to Master Ma: "Thank you for telling me."
Outside the room, the Water Beaver Fairy's anxious voice rang out: "Oh! Finally, business has come. Where are you? Where is your distinguished guest... Cousin, let's go. There are no distinguished guests. We have come to the wrong place..."
When Shui Lixian saw Li Weiyi sitting inside, he turned around and left, but was stopped by Prince Baba.
Prince Baba had long known that the "Lu Cangsheng" in the old Yuzhou capital was actually Li Weiyi, and he had a good impression of him and was not as afraid of him as the Water Beaver Fairy.
How could the Water Beaver Immortal not be afraid after being planted with the Spirit Fire of Death?
I just want to hide as far away as possible.
Li Weiyi stood up, walked out the door, and smiled at Shui Lixian: "Shall we discuss this business alone?"
"Okay! I'll talk to him alone. No one knows how to bargain better than me."
The Water Beaver Immortal immediately released a dark red smoke of immortality, enveloping it and Li Weiyi alone. Then, she pretended to be arrogant, but her tone was full of pleading: "Brother Ren, stop teasing me. Release my Death Spirit Fire, and I'll agree to any condition."
"I want a free spot," Li Weiyi said.
The Water Beaver Fairy immediately agreed: "Okay!"
"Please help me protect her in case anything goes wrong..." Li Weiyi said.
The Water Beaver Fairy said, "As long as I am here, she will be here."
"Okay, if you can do this, I will remove your Death Spirit Fire."
Then, Li Weiyi said again: "I want to see Princess Dengfeng!"
