Chapter 43: Lin Yue's Visit

~14 min read 2,778 words

After awakening the Spirit Medium, Li Yi clearly felt that the body's demand for cosmic energy, that is, pure spiritual energy, had increased. At the same time, the speed of evolution had also slowed down. Practicing all night didn't have any obvious changes, which was completely different from the feeling of progress every day before.

This was still under the condition of using an incomplete strange object.

If there was no strange object, Li Yi's practice all night would probably be no different from sleeping.

This change made Li Yi feel very uncomfortable.

He was a good young man who wanted to make progress every day. If he didn't let himself make progress, it would be very uncomfortable.

However, after drinking a bottle of nutrient solution worth 100,000, Li Yi felt that the injuries on his body had healed seven or eight times after a night of practice, his body was full of strength, and his spirit was fuller. It seemed that this thing was really useful, not a fake product hyped up.

The next day.

Morning.

A phone call woke Li Yi from his practice.

He forgot to turn on silent mode after putting down his phone last night.

Li Yi frowned and picked up his phone to take a look, only to find that the caller ID was Lin Yue.

As soon as it was connected.

Lin Yue's voice sounded on the phone: "Li Yi, where are you now? I'm going to find you."

"I'm practicing at home. Lin Jie, what's the matter?" Li Yi asked curiously.

"Good, then that's it. I know your home address. We'll talk when we meet," Lin Yue said and hung up immediately.

This made Li Yi a bit confused.

What urgent matter did she have to find him so suddenly?

However, Li Yi remembered that Lin Yue had said last time that she wanted to come to his house to take a look.

Thinking of this, he didn't continue to practice, immediately got up and moved his body, then tidied up the messy home, and cleaned up by the way.

After all, there were guests coming, so he had to pay attention.

Just after finishing the cleaning, there was a knock on the door.

"Li Yi, it's me, Lin Yue. Open the door quickly." Lin Yue's voice came.

"Coming." Hearing the voice, Li Yi opened the door immediately.

Lin Yue said with a smile at this moment: "I was in a hurry to come here for the first time and didn't bring any gifts. I bought you ten bottles of nutrient solution. You should be able to use them... Wait, what is that on your dining table?"

She suddenly glanced and saw a touch of golden yellow.

Lin Yue was a bit surprised and rushed in, staring at the golden nutrient solution on the table: "Good, Li Yi, you guy are really extravagant. You bought nutrient solution for 100,000 a bottle just after earning a sum of money, not treating yourself unfairly at all. If I had known, I should have brought two pounds of apples to see you."

After speaking, she looked at Li Yi with jealousy.

"Ah, do you know about my work?" Li Yi scratched his head.

Lin Yue rolled her eyes: "The cultivation circle in Tianchang City is only that big, and it has long been spread. Yang Yi Long joined forces with Qin Qing to enter the Danger Zone to hunt a transcendent creature, and you, Li Yi, hunted a fierce beast tiger single-handedly, and were bought by Yang Yi Long at a high price of 20 million. Any cultivator with well-informed news knows these things."

"It is estimated that Yang Yi Long deliberately released the news, so he reported the good news but not the bad. The Danger Zone folded many cultivators this time," Li Yi said.

"You know it's dangerous, yet you still go to the Danger Zone? I just introduced you to be a guide. The salary is high and the risk is low. You, on the other hand, ran to that place. Do you not want your life?" Lin Yue looked Li Yi over after speaking.

"It's okay, no missing arms or legs, just a little injury on the back, but it's almost better."

After speaking, she reached out and touched the bandaged wound on Li Yi's back, confirming that no bones were injured before nodding slightly.

"If you want to make money, you have to fight. No way, I'm used to being poor. Cultivation needs money, and parents' nutrient solution needs money. I finally grabbed such an opportunity, and I don't want to give it up," Li Yi said.

Lin Yue rolled her eyes: "If you want to make money, you have to have a life to spend it. Even I don't dare to easily set foot in the Danger Zone. You, a fledgling who has been practicing for less than a month, actually plunged into it. Fortunately, you were lucky enough to come back alive. If you folded there, how would I explain to Uncle Lin in the future?"

Speaking of this, she looked left and right again, and seeing that the door was not closed, she immediately closed the door, then lowered her voice and whispered in Li Yi's ear: "Li Yi, others don't know you, but I know you very well. When I first led you into cultivation, an ordinary person couldn't possibly step into the Spirit Medium Realm in less than a month. You must have a big secret. I have a very tight mouth. Can you tell me what's going on?"

She was very curious at this moment, feeling like a cat scratching in her heart.

So when she heard Li Yi's news, her first reaction was that she had recognized the wrong person, just a person with the same name and surname.

Because Li Yi was an ordinary person before, not even understanding cultivation. How could he step into the Spirit Medium Realm in less than a month, and also hunt a fierce beast *biao*?

But after repeated confirmation, Lin Yue had to admit that this Li Yi was really the person she had led into cultivation at the beginning.

So Lin Yue rushed over early in the morning, wanting to see what was going on.

However, Lin Yue also understood that such a big change in Li Yi must have a secret, and she didn't dare to reveal Li Yi's matter to anyone, fearing it would bring trouble.

Li Yi looked at Lin Yue's curious baby-like eyes and didn't know how to explain for a while.

Ordinary reasons could deceive others, but not Lin Yue.

Besides, once his current situation was known by that Lao Ya, Lao Ya would probably guess immediately that he might have a strange object.

Just as Lin Yue said.

In this city, the circle of cultivators was only that big.

Realizing this, Li Yi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead.

He understood that his secret of possessing an incomplete strange object would soon be unable to be hidden.

After hunting that *biao*, although he earned money, he also became famous, plus Yang Yi Long's pushing... it seemed a bit bad.

"Should I say or not say about the strange object?" Li Yi weighed in his heart.

But soon, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

Of the two evils, choose the lesser.

The secret of the incomplete strange object could not be exposed, but the matter of fist technique could be exposed.

Using the matter of fist technique to cover up the matter of the strange object would be enough. As long as this was confirmed, the secret of the incomplete strange object might still be hidden.

Thinking of this.

Li Yi calmed down and immediately said: "With my cultivation value, it is naturally impossible to enter the Spirit Medium Realm in a short time, but on a trip to the Danger Zone, I had some special opportunities. Not only did my strength improve, but I also learned a fist technique."

Saying that, he simply told the story of his breaking into the Ghost Street to learn the fist technique briefly.

"A fist technique from an unknown world? What kind of fist technique is so powerful that it can allow you to kill a fierce beast with bare hands? Can you perform it for me to see?" Lin Yue's eyes lit up instantly, and she was very interested.

But soon, she realized her recklessness and immediately said: "No, fist technique is very precious. You'd better not perform it. I'm afraid I can't help but steal the teacher."

"It's okay. Before performing for Lin Jie, this fist technique was already targeted by Yang Yi Long. You are not the first person to see this fist technique," Li Yi said.

Lin Yue was both surprised and angry: "He? How is it possible? He actually targeted your fist technique. What was the result in the end?"

Out of her understanding of Yang Yi Long, she didn't seem to think Yang Yi Long would do such a thing.

Li Yi shook his head: "When I wanted to leave yesterday, the elevator was controlled, and I was sent to the underground training ground alone. Yang Yi Long was waiting for me there. Looking at that posture, if I didn't hand over the fist technique, I probably wouldn't have been able to walk out of that building. Although he opened his mouth to buy it, I didn't name a price. I performed it for free once, and I was able to escape."

"What? There is such a thing."

Lin Yue was angry when she heard this. Her face was a bit flushed: "Damn it, that Yang Yi Long really had the nerve to open his mouth to buy it. Taking you to the underground training ground alone, this is clearly giving you pressure, coercion, making you sell if you want to sell, and sell if you don't want to sell. What is his strength now, and what is your strength? This transaction is not equal at all."

"In that situation, no one would dare to name a price."

"I was really blind, actually thinking Yang Yi Long was a good person who talked about morality and was generous. I didn't expect that in front of a fist technique, he couldn't hold back his heart."

"Good, good, very good. He not only bullied you like that, but also slapped me, Lin Yue, in the face. Li Yi, I recorded this matter. In the future, the grudge between me and him is settled." Lin Yue was ashamed and angry at this moment, and even more regretful. If she had known this, she shouldn't have introduced Li Yi to work there.

No wonder Yang Yi Long was willing to buy the fierce beast at double the price.

Now the cultivators in the cultivation circle of Tianchang City all praised Yang Yi Long for being generous and keeping his word, and having morality. He didn't mention at all that he had learned a fist technique from Li Yi for free.

Li Yi said: "A fist technique is in front of you, easy to take. Who wouldn't be moved? To be honest, I was lucky to be able to leave safely."

"Yes, some people are like this. They are good at everything usually, but when the benefits are big enough, some hidden nature is exposed," Lin Yue said: "Li Yi, you did the right thing at that time. In that situation, it wouldn't work if you were greedy and sold the fist technique to him for hundreds of millions. You could only bow your head and teach the fist technique for free. In this way, he would take care of his face and would not take action against you again."

"If you were greedy and named a price of hundreds of millions, he might agree to you on the surface, but once he learned the fist, it would be hard to say."

"You held him high. Yang Yi Long is a proud person. After getting the fist technique, he naturally was willing to let you go."

Lin Yue broke into a cold sweat for Li Yi at this moment.

She knew Yang Yi Long's character, so the moment Li Yi appeared in the underground training ground, it meant that Yang Yi Long had broken his principles. If he really wanted to buy it, he would only negotiate with Li Yi through herself, the introducer.

This would be upright, and there would be no meaning of coercion, rather than meeting Li Yi alone.

Therefore, Yang Yi Long, who broke the bottom line, could do anything at that time.

Fortunately, Li Yi was really sensible, and a free teaching of fist technique blocked Yang Yi Long to death.

"But before I left, Yang Yi Long said he owed me a favor, saying that if I had anything, I could find him for help."

Li Yi said again. He didn't add fuel to the fire, but just told the story of what he encountered, letting Lin Yue analyze the situation.

"Owe him a favor? I spit." Lin Yue, a big girl, really sprayed a mouthful of saliva at this moment, spitting directly on the ground.

"Getting a fist technique is enough to pass on to the family, or at least open a school, sell courses and teach martial arts. A membership is priced at 10 million, no, 20 million, and there are people willing to learn. At that time, it is easy to fish for billions. Is his favor worth so much money? He doesn't even look in the mirror to see his own urine. Qin Qing is really blind to follow him."

"Uh..."

Li Yi looked at the saliva on the ground, not expecting Lin Yue to be even angrier than himself after hearing this.

Lin Yue paced back and forth angrily: "No, I thought about it, I still can't swallow this breath. I want to tell Qin Qing about this matter, and spread the matter of Yang Yi Long's forced buying and selling, making his reputation ruined."

"Lin Jie, do you know that woman with vertical green pupils?" Li Yi asked very surprised.

"I know, what's the matter?" Lin Yue stopped and looked at him.

Li Yi said: "I heard from a security guard named Zheng Fei in Yang Yi Long's company that Qin Qing was severely injured by a transcendent creature in order to cover for Yang Yi Long, and several of her vertebrae were shattered. The situation is not optimistic now. I heard that Yang Yi Long is contacting major medical companies to find a way to treat her. I think you'd better not disturb that Qin Qing at this time."

"What, there is such a thing? Why don't I know? Yang Yi Long didn't spread such news either." Lin Yue suddenly opened her eyes wide.

Li Yi shrugged: "I don't know about this. Maybe it's for confidentiality."

"No, it's not right."

Lin Yue first lowered her head and frowned to think, while thinking and saying: "If the matter is just like this, Yang Yi Long doesn't need to hide Qin Qing's injury and the arrangement for treatment at all. Such heavy injuries want to be healed, and the cost is huge. With the style of the Yang family, this matter must be publicized to build momentum for Yang Yi Long and make a name for the Yang family. After all, even the matter of Yang Yi Long buying your prey for 20 million has spread. Qin Qing's matter is much more important than your 20 million."

"Unless..."

Li Yi was analyzed like this and reacted: "Unless Yang Yi Long doesn't intend to spend a lot of money to treat Qin Qing, so he chose to suppress the matter of Qin Qing's injury and use my matter to divert everyone's attention, making people ignore the fact that Qin Qing was injured. After all, not many people know about this matter."

"No, it's impossible. No matter what, Yang Yi Long couldn't possibly do such a thing." Lin Yue's face changed drastically, and she was also shocked by her own speculation.

"Who knows? Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with me," Li Yi said: "And Lin Jie, you are also guessing. Maybe things are not like this."

"Wait a few days to see. Whether this matter is what I guessed will be clear soon," Lin Yue's eyes shifted slightly, deciding to wait a bit longer.

She didn't expect that so many things would happen in these few days. ===== CHAPTER 44 =====
