Chapter 635

Li Yi had been a guest at the merchant Xiu Xiang's home for fifteen days. During this period, he had not stepped out of the courtyard even once; every day was either eating and drinking or digesting food, and the changes over these fifteen days were also astonishing.

More than twenty of the sixty meridians in his body had been filled with God-Blood.

Besides that, his soul had also strengthened a lot without deliberate cultivation, and of course, the biggest change was his strength.

The nurturing of the divine bloodline brought about the growth of dragon and tiger strength.

His golden blood energy now condensed into a genuine true dragon, and his silver God-Blood turned into a real fierce tiger.

The appearance of this change made Li Yi feel a sense of resonance; he knew that he had possessed the strength of one dragon and one tiger ahead of time while still in the Five-Qi Realm.

One must know that in the Dharma-Ending cultivation world, to possess true dragon and tiger strength, one must at least reach the Three-Flower Realm to have a chance of achieving it; for example, Xiang Xiangzi had the strength of ten dragons and ten tigers at his peak.

That is to say, Li Yi now possessed one-tenth of the strength of Xiang Xiangzi at his peak.

"If I fill all sixty meridians, I wonder how many dragons and tigers of strength I can possess." Li Yi's gaze flickered, feeling shocked.

One must know that the more meridians are filled, the more the body transforms. Now it takes twenty meridians to nurture the strength of one dragon and one tiger, but later it might only take ten meridians. He himself did not know about such specific changes.

Because no one had ever walked this path before.

However, Li Yi could already feel that he had passed the most difficult period of the early stage; from now on, his strength would increase at an unimaginable speed.

The foundation of dual cultivation would bloom to its fullest at this moment.

And during the period when Li Yi was eating and drinking for free at Xiu Xiang's home, the old servant also passed his news to Xiu Xiang through a flying exotic bird.

At this moment, the merchant Xiu Xiang, as usual, led guards and servants to form a caravan and circled North Waste City along the usual route, and every time he made a trip, he could make a profit ranging from a thousand to ten thousand gold.

After all, occasionally there would always be some surprises to be harvested.

Just like this time.

When the merchant Xiu Xiang received the message from the old servant, he was immediately more excited than if he had earned a hundred thousand gold.

"Lord Dayi has come. The opportunity for me to pass on my name for ten thousand generations has finally arrived. Sage Nanshan Bo once said that Lord Dayi could become a god of a region in the future. What business could earn a god of a region?"

The merchant Xiu Xiang stood up excitedly from his carriage. He looked toward the direction of North Waste City and then said without hesitation, "I want to return to North Waste City, but the merchant's promise cannot be broken. The trade route must be continued by someone, because there are people waiting for us to purchase goods, people waiting for us to bring important supplies, and people relying on our caravan to survive. Qi, I intend to entrust the caravan to you; you continue the journey for me."

A warrior named Qi arrived riding an exotic beast and then reached out and patted his chest heavily: "Understood."

A simple "Understood" was the promise made by the warrior Qi.

People in the savage world care most about promises; as long as a promise is made, they will definitely do it, unless they die. Even a cunning and vicious slave owner would never break their promise.

Hearing the warrior Qi's "Understood," the merchant Xiu Xiang revealed a smile, and then he entrusted the entire caravan to the warrior Qi, while he himself took two guards, rode an exotic beast, left the team, and headed toward North Waste City.

He couldn't wait to see Lord Dayi.

Because Lord Dayi's importance far outweighed the gold earned from a trade trip.

"Pass this good news to Sage Nanshan Bo as well. If it is Lord Dayi, Sage Nanshan Bo, who is traveling abroad, will definitely be very happy to return." The merchant Xiu Xiang then released another exotic bird.

This kind of bird is an exotic beast used for passing information between merchants; it flies extremely fast, has tenacious vitality, and in this world, very few people would actively attack such an exotic bird passing information.

This day.

Li Yi was eating and drinking in the courtyard as usual; he had now become accustomed to the feeling of doing nothing every day and becoming stronger just by eating and drinking.

Just when he was full and intended to go back to digest.

Suddenly.

In a direction to the west, not far away, an unusual power also shot into the sky. That aura intertwined with the energy between heaven and earth, turning into a purple radiance, carrying a noble and domineering aura.

This aura was very ancient and had a certain degree of similarity to the divine bloodline revealed on Li Yi's body.

"Divine bloodline?"

Li Yi immediately had a realization in his heart.

There was actually a God-Blood Warrior hiding in the house next door, and judging from this aura, the other party's strength was also very powerful.

However, Li Yi ignored it; he continued to close his eyes to rest, digest the essence of flesh and blood, nurture God-Blood, and fill the meridians.

After all, North Waste City is a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers lie, and it is normal to meet other God-Blood Warriors.

However, although Li Yi ignored it, he did not know that there was also a merchant in the house next door. That merchant's name was Lie Hou. In terms of financial resources, he was even more powerful than Xiu Xiang. Usually, he had some business dealings with Xiu Xiang, and the two were both business friends and competitors.

Of course, this situation is very common among merchants.

Lie Hou was a middle-aged man with a short beard, wearing exquisite clothes, standing in his courtyard and looking at Xiu Xiang's house.

"It has been a long time, and that guest of Xiu Xiang has returned. This is the aura of God-Blood, very powerful. Sage Nanshan Bo once evaluated this person as someone who could become a god of a region in the future." The merchant Lie Hou of course also knew the news about Lord Dayi.

After all, back then, Lord Dayi's God-Blood aura erupted and the manifestation rose, which attracted the attention of many merchants.

They all envied Xiu Xiang for finding such a rare commodity. Fortunately, Lord Dayi later left North Waste City, which made people feel a little better.

Otherwise, they would really be so jealous that they couldn't sleep.

And since then, many merchants have also intentionally looked for other God-Blood Warriors and then provided heavy funding. This is both a competition and a comparison, and it also made other merchants smell a crisis.

If a god of a region was really funded by other merchants, no, even if it was just a master of a region, they would regret it for the rest of their lives.

And Lie Hou, after spending a lot of money, also found his own rare commodity.

A descendant of a god, a God-Blood Warrior, Dong Chong.

Then he looked at the God-Blood Warrior in the courtyard.

This person was tall and sturdy, with a body nearly three meters high, and his muscles were as hard as rock, with purple traces intertwined on them, like a colorful fierce tiger, and the purple patterns flashed with radiance, reflecting each other with heaven and earth.

An ancient and domineering aura was being released all the time.

It is a pity that Dong Chong is not a direct descendant of the divine blood.

Otherwise, he alone could propagate a God-Blood family.

And a direct descendant of the divine blood is not something that a merchant like Lie Hou is qualified to fund.

Although Dong Chong's God-Blood concentration does not reach the level of a direct descendant, it is definitely not something that ordinary God-Blood Warriors can compare to. Coupled with his funding during this period, his strength has improved significantly. I believe that even if he cannot become a master of a region in the future, he can become a powerful God-Blood Warrior.

"Dong Chong, how do you compare to the God-Blood Warrior in that merchant's house?" Lie Hou looked at the golden and silver intertwined aura not far away, where fire and lightning collided, and couldn't help but ask.

"Although the other party's God-Blood is rich, his strength is not strong. In the future, I may not be able to compare to him, but now he cannot compare to me." Although Dong Chong is tall and fierce, he is still a young man.

Young people naturally have some temperament.

But Dong Chong had to admit that Li Yi's God-Blood was definitely comparable to the existence of a direct descendant of the divine blood, and would definitely surpass him in the future.

But now, Dong Chong does not feel that he will be weaker than the other party.

"A seed of direct divine blood. Xiu Xiang is lucky; I am not as good as him." Lie Hou sighed, but soon, his eyes flickered and he said, "Xiu Xiang is not at home, and the other party's God-Blood Warrior is still weak. Although he can become a god of a region in the future, he can be bullied now."

He was unwilling to let Xiu Xiang surpass him in the future.

It would be better to take this opportunity to kill the other party's God-Blood Warrior, or if that doesn't work, drive the other party away.

Dong Chong said, "If the merchant wants to commit a crime, I can go."

He returned the favor; since he had received funding from the merchant Lie Hou, he was naturally willing to do things for him.

"I want to think again," the merchant Lie Hou replied.

His own idea was just a momentary impulse. After thinking carefully, he felt that this matter was very risky.

After all, when God-Blood Warriors fight, it is easy for both sides to have casualties.

And once Xiu Xiang finds out, the two will definitely become great enemies in the future, and only the death of one side can stop it.

Just because of jealousy, doing such a thing, as a qualified merchant, is an irrational behavior.

It is just that the other party's God-Blood is still weak, which is indeed a good opportunity.

After thinking for a while.

Finally, the merchant Lie Hou's eyes flickered and he said, "Dong Chong, please commit the crime tonight and defeat this God-Blood Warrior."
