Chapter 185 Do you need a power player?
In the world of cultivating immortals, the strong prey on the weak, and killing people for treasures is commonplace. In the secret realm, robbing the fruits of others' hard work is something that must be appreciated.
The Dragon Transformation Conference is a test of wits, but you can work hard, and it doesn't say that you can't form a team, and it doesn't say that you can't steal the leaves that others have refined.
"You guys...have a good harvest."
The leading young man sneered, and the other young cultivators dispersed tacitly to surround Li Yan and his companions.
Seeing this situation, Li Yanmo knew that they were encountering a classic plot.
Li Yanmo couldn't see through the cultivation level of any of these people, which meant that at least they were at the Golden Core stage. Even if he was at the Foundation Establishment stage and had extraordinary abilities, he couldn't escape.
"Everyone, let's be frank. I want to discuss a business with you. I hope you can -"
The young man paused and smiled coldly.
"Can you please give me a favor?"
Dai Qianqiu thought for a moment, "Oh? What business is that?"
“Just as you have seen, the secrets of the Deer Forest are ever-changing. Every blade of grass and every tree has different rules, and they can only be refined piece by piece. Don’t you think this process is boring and uninteresting?” The young man’s eyes became increasingly cold, and his tone rose and fell in a weird tone, as if he was hinting at something.
"But this battle of wits never said that I had to crack it myself, so I was thinking, why not cooperate? There is strength in numbers."
"I see that you all seem to have your own unique methods of refining, but as the saying goes, many hands make light work. At this speed, I'm afraid you won't be able to win first place in the battle of wits."
"How many--"
The young man sneered.
"Do you want a liver replacement?"
Li Yanmo felt no wave of emotion.
These people are at most from first-rate sects, and he has three disciples from super sects in his hands. Hu Rongzuo has been making extra money but has not shown up. Dai Qianqiu and Zhong Sanyuan have been in the limelight in the battle of magic. These people in front of them must be crazy to come and rob them.
Zhong Sanyuan was not surprised at all, he raised his hand and waved, "No need."
The young man was struck by lightning, as if he had never expected to be rejected, but he did not give up. "Ladies and gentlemen, we are very cheap. If the leaves you refine are not up to standard, we will compensate you tenfold!"
"We are not interested in this. We came to Lulin just to investigate some things," Zhong Sanyuan shook his head.
The young man's face was immediately filled with disappointment. He bowed and walked away slowly with the others.
"Isn't it said that the geniuses of super sects regard money as dirt and throw spirit stones as casually as throwing stones?"
"It's okay. There are other geniuses from other super sects. They are definitely too lazy to refine leaves."
“That’s right—”
A group of people came with a lot of fanfare and left quietly.
After the people walked away, Zhong Sanyuan raised his hand and set up a soundproof barrier. "Brother Li, did you find something just now?"
Li Yanmo patted his forehead, thought for a while, and then told what he saw when he was refining the trees just now.
Zhong Sanyuan and other geniuses from the super sects scratched their heads in confusion. Ji Fa's eyes flashed with a strange light before he asked doubtfully, "Brother Li, are you sure you are not wrong?"
Li Yanmo rubbed his forehead and said, "I hope I'm wrong, but it's too clear."
Especially those eyes. Li Yanmo had never seen such crazy and depressing eyes.
"Could it be that you... saw a demon fairy?" Dai Qianqiu thought for a moment and then tentatively expressed his thoughts, "Legend has it that Chi Che is the place where the first demon fairy who became a fairy through cultivation fell, and the Demon Fairy Cult also originated from this place."
Zhong Sanyuan frowned and thought for a while, but still couldn't figure it out, so he decided to repeat Li Yanmo's previous operation. He raised his hand and patted a tree, pouring the spiritual energy in his body into the tree. In just a moment, the whole tree was refined by Zhong Sanyuan.
"Brother Li, I didn't feel anything. Is there any difference in the details?"
"this……"
Li Yanmo scratched his head, thought for a while and analyzed, "Maybe it's a problem with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Because I was too hasty when practicing, my foundation-building platform has defects and will continue to leak spiritual energy, so I rely on the spiritual energy vortex above ten layers to make up for this problem."
“Just now, I used up the stored spiritual energy when I was refining the trees, so I directly poured Chi Che’s spiritual energy into the trees through the spiritual energy vortex.”
"Maybe that's why the connection was established. You can give it a try."
This was the most reasonable explanation Li Yanmo could think of, but he did not expect that several people, including Ji Fa, had such subtle expressions.
"Did I say anything weird?"
"This... cough, Brother Li is gifted and has his own unique insights on cultivation, which are naturally different from ours," Zhong Sanyuan coughed, "Brother Li, after building the foundation, the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth will be refined by the foundation-building platform into spiritual energy that conforms to the characteristics of the magic formula. It is impossible to use oneself as a medium to transfer the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the trees."
Dai Qianqiu added, "To be precise, it is not necessary at all. All the spells above the foundation building stage require one's own spiritual energy to draw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. That is why the foundation building stage needs to constantly refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and increase the spiritual energy reserves so that more spells can be used."
“Only those in the Qi training stage can accomplish the technique you mentioned, but even those who have practiced the Heaven-level techniques cannot achieve the depth of refinement you mentioned,” Zhong Sanyuan put his hands on his hips. “That is to say, you, Brother Li, may be the only person in the world who can sense the existence of demon fairies!”
Li Yanmo tilted his head back slightly, "I don't know why, I just can't feel happy at all."
"Ahem - Brother Li, where there is loss there is gain, but at least we have some clues."
Zhong Sanyuan knew that it would be impolite to continue making up stories, so he changed the subject. But Dai Qianqiu said unhappily, "That being said, what does this have to do with the current battle of strength and wits?"
"That demon fairy's status is indeed high, but his cultivation method is the most outdated and primitive. If he were alive today, he might not even be able to learn the earth-level spells. I think the battle of wits and strength is with the demon fairy Yin Yang."
Zhong Sanyuan scratched his head in embarrassment but did not refute.
Li Yanmo felt as if a flash of inspiration came to him, but he was unable to complete it due to the lack of some key information.
The battle of wealth comes after the battle of strength and the battle of wits. It will only begin after the battle of wits and the battle of wealth are over, but it does not mean that we should go to the Oil Pan Mountain where the sheep monster is.
A battle of wits, strength and wealth. The wealth aspect is obviously to make money for the dragon clan, but it is better to be safe than sorry.
"Let's go to Youguo Mountain and take a look."
"Huh? Why should I listen to your orders?" Dai Qianqiu tickled her ears to show her displeasure. "I'm just passing through here. Do you understand?"
Zhong Sanyuan rolled his eyes, walked up to Dai Qianqiu, grabbed his ear and dragged him into the woods. After a few breaths, Dai Qianqiu and Zhong Sanyuan came back.
“I think it’s very necessary to go to You Pan Mountain!”
