Zhou Lianfeng mumbled something incoherently, occasionally letting out a lewd laugh, clearly full of wicked schemes.
Following Zhou Lianfeng's words, Chen Yi said calmly, "This short sword looks pretty good. It should be a high-grade magic weapon, right?"
The male debt collector's face darkened.
The female debt collector silently lowered her head.
Fortunately, the other party didn't make any excessive demands...
In fact, Zhou Lianfeng did make some excessive demands, but Chen Yi selectively ignored them.
The male debt collector glanced at his short sword, his eyes revealing deep reluctance.
He had spent years collecting debts to finally get his hands on this, but because of this misjudgment, it's going to be a complete disaster for him...
But cultivating immortality is not child's play. If you can become a debt collector, you must be aware that others will accept your fate and be forced to pay back the money because of your strength. But if your strength is insufficient, you will offend people instead.
"It was my fault today. I will now offer this Yangwen Sword to you, fellow Daoist."
The male debt collector presented Chen Yi with a short sword held in both hands.
Chen Yi glanced at the short sword; its blade seemed to be branded with streaks of sun patterns, its sharpness intimidating.
Most importantly, as he held the sword in his hand, the pure Yang energy within his body subtly stirred.
A sense of surprise arose in his heart; it seemed that this Yang Pattern Sword could be nurtured with pure Yang energy.
However, he has not yet learned the method of nurturing the sword. The complete version of the sword control technique that Wu Lingyao taught him before included the methods of recognizing and nurturing the sword.
When I see her later, I can find an opportunity to ask her about it.
I never imagined that I would obtain my first magical artifact in this way...
Chen Yi put away the Yangwen Sword with a strange expression, and then quickly disappeared from their sight.
"Alas, what a pity." Zhou Lianfeng's sigh drifted over.
Chen Yi said in a deep voice, "Shut up! All you think about is linking things up. If you ruin Principal Ma's plans, can you take responsibility?"
He was annoyed by Zhou Lianfeng, so he had no choice but to bring up Ma Xiao to shut him up.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Lianfeng immediately shrank back and remained silent.
On the one hand, he was afraid of Principal Ma; on the other hand, Chen Yi's status in his heart had risen.
Although he was a senior who had repeated a year over twenty years, the strength Chen Yi had just displayed was enough to impress, even astonish, everyone...
Such an exquisite sword formation is not something an ordinary person could obtain.
But why does this guy, with such a background, still owe money?
And it's only a small amount, a few thousand dollars?
Could it be that he simply enjoys the feeling of being chased for debts?
"Ugh! This is so oppressive, so incredibly oppressive!"
Zhou Lianfeng secretly labeled Chen Yi as "Xiao Chunan," a name associated with extreme repression.
In his view, only people who are extremely repressed would develop such a distorted mentality...
On the rest of the journey, Chen Yi carefully examined the Yangwen Sword.
He removed the spiritual power and divine imprint that had remained on it and imprinted his own mark on it.
In this way, the person could no longer sense the location of the sword, and Chen Yi officially became its new owner.
"laugh!"
He activated his pure Yang power, and indeed resonated with the Yang-patterned sword.
"Buzz!"
The sword trembled, and the patterns on it became even clearer.
The aura emanating from this sword was even more powerful than when the previous person used it.
Chen Yi had a premonition that as long as he used pure Yang power and nurtured it with the sword-nurturing method, the quality of this magic weapon could be raised to an even higher level.
Thinking of this, he became even more eager to meet up with Wu Lingyao.
He quickened his pace, even resorting to flying using sword control techniques.
Although those in the Qi Refining stage can only fly on swords for short periods, it is still much faster than walking on land.
Moreover, he possesses the "Secret Technique of the Blood Furnace," which can accelerate the recovery of magical power. As long as he seizes the right moment, his condition won't be too bad when he arrives at the destination.
......
Outside Xiande City lies the Yinshan Secret Realm.
There were no fewer than a hundred figures standing on the outskirts of the lush green mountains.
And people are still arriving one after another.
"Yao'er, hasn't your friend arrived yet? The secret realm will open in ten minutes," a tall girl in a pale yellow dress asked.
“He messaged me a little over an hour ago saying he had set off. I suppose something must have happened on the way that caused a delay…” Wu Lingyao guessed.
"Hey, did he run here?" Yu Qian asked with a strange look.
Wu Lingyao was stunned. It really was possible...
After all, the school forums have been filled with news about Chen Yi for the past few days.
Some people even photographed him practicing his movements on campus at 3 a.m.
Later, people in the same dormitory building refuted the rumor, saying it wasn't 3 a.m., but 2:30 a.m., and that he hadn't been back to the dormitory yet, but had just left.
Wu Lingyao was shocked when she saw these messages.
No wonder he grew up so fast... he became a curled-up dog!
"How did you know?" Wu Lingyao asked, puzzled.
Yu Qian glanced around with a strange look in her eyes and then pouted.
"Is it him?"
Wu Lingyao turned around and saw a handsome, sunny figure running towards her.
"Sorry, something came up on the way and I was delayed a bit," Chen Yi apologized.
Yu Qian looked at the two of them strangely. "You two are on the same wavelength? Yao'er really guessed right..."
"It's nothing," Wu Lingyao said softly.
She arrived using Yu Qian's flying artifact. Although she left home later than Chen Yi, they arrived in just over ten minutes thanks to the flying artifact.
Those flying magical artifacts have arrays for placing spirit stones, allowing them to fly for extended periods without the need for two people to exert their strength.
She then introduced, "This is my friend, Yu Qian."
"Yu Qian?" Chen Yi was taken aback.
For some reason, the first image that popped into his mind was that old man who smoked, drank, and got a perm...
Of course, he had heard of this Yu Qian.
The last of the three golden flowers of Xiande is Yu Qian, who is known for her low-key yet luxurious lifestyle!
Yu Qian took the initiative to greet Chen Yi: "Hello!"
"Hello, my name is Chen Yi."
"I know, the one who's been making headlines lately!" Yu Qian said with a smile.
"Uh..." Chen Yi smiled awkwardly.
He didn't know what to say for a moment, so he brought up the tickets: "By the way, thank you for the tickets."
“No, you’ve already bought your own ticket.” Yu Qian and Wu Lingyao exchanged a glance and chuckled softly, covering their mouths.
"???" Chen Yi looked completely bewildered.
Yu Qian meant that the 20,000 yuan she invested in the betting platform set up by Sun Yu had already been earned back, so it could be considered as Chen Yi buying tickets for himself.
Chen Yi suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, these communication talismans are for you."
He distributed the communication talismans to the two women, two for each of them.
"Wow! How thoughtful!" Yu Qian smiled and said, "Thanks!"
After saying that, she handed a token to Chen Yi.
"This is your entry pass to the secret realm. Keep it safe."
Chen Yi glanced at the token, which had the characters "Yin" and "Shan" drawn on both sides.
"Thanks." He put the token away.
Although I don't know why the other person said he bought the ticket himself, I still thanked him out of politeness.
After doing all that, he couldn't help but look around.
At this time, a couple hundred people had gathered around Yinshan.
Among them were Qi Refining stage cultivators from several cities near Xiande, and many were young.
Chen Yi remembered that people from Beast Barbarian Middle School seemed to have come as well.
Looking around, almost everyone there was at the late stage of Qi Refining...
It seems that this time we not only need to be wary of the dangers in the secret realm, but we also need to be careful in dealing with these competitors.
Yu Qian generously explained, "This Yinshan Secret Realm opens once every three years. Before it opens, tokens are distributed, and it's really hard to buy one without connections."
“The Yinshan Secret Realm…” Chen Yi murmured.
He remembered the "Nine Nether Grass" that Ma Xiao was looking for, which sounded very much like a specialty of this secret realm.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the earth shook and the mountains trembled.
"Click-click-click!"
Immediately afterwards, a tall and magnificent stone gate rose from the ground, behind which was an incredibly thick fog...
"The Yinshan Secret Realm is now open; those with a token may enter."
A sinister voice echoed around.
"The secret realm has opened! Foundation Building materials, here I come!"
The Qi Refining cultivators, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed in impatiently.
"puff!"
In the next instant, among the first group of people to rush into the stone gate, one person, while running, was decapitated...
