Chapter 779

Li Yi did not refuse A-Wei's suggestion and chose to talk somewhere else.

He had thought A-Wei would choose some good place, but he ended up bringing Li Yi into a private room at the internet cafe. After all that, they were still going online.

"You like going online so much, why don't you open an internet cafe yourself?" Li Yi said. "If you don't have the money, I can invest in you. Let's just call it a consultation fee."

He was very generous, as he had no interest in money as a practitioner.

As soon as these words were spoken, the man called A-Wei's eyes lit up: "Open an internet cafe? That makes sense. Why didn't I think of that? You really are a smart person; you enlightened me in an instant. But funding is unnecessary. Don't look at me, A-Wei, as just having been kicked out of the company; I'm not unemployed, I just want to take back what I lost. And I'm not short on money. Let alone one internet cafe, I can afford to open ten or twenty."

Li Yi said, "Let's talk about business. I came to Dachang City to ask Yang Wang Jian for help. If you know him, could you do me a favor and contact him?"

"Of course, I will also give you some benefits."

When asking people for favors, Li Yi liked to provide benefits; this way, he didn't have to owe favors and could create an exchange of interests, making future contact easier.

"If you're looking for Yang Wang Jian for help, you've found the right person. I do know him, but why should I trust you when you're so unclear?" A-Wei stroked his chin and said.

"I'm not asking you to trust me," Li Yi said. "Trust is a very troublesome thing. You can state your conditions, anything at all."

"So arrogant?"

A-Wei examined Li Yi again: "Looking at your tattooed appearance, I can tell you're not a serious person. You're probably like me, didn't study much, and started mixing in society early. But it doesn't matter. Since you're so sincere, I'll give you a chance."

Speaking of this, he leaned in again: "I have a friend who really likes watching movies, but he's been feeling a bit powerless these years. His body can't compare to when he was in high school. Do you have any good way to solve this?"

"You're impotent?" Li Yi said.

A-Wei immediately took a big step back and waved his hands hurriedly: "Eh, what 'impotent'? Don't talk nonsense. That friend of mine has very strong self-esteem. If you talk about my friend like that, I'll be very unhappy. Back in the day, he was also a man who stood tall and upright. Maybe he's just been in a bad mood lately, which is why he needs some help."

"Wait, let me look and see if there's anything good that can help you solve this problem." Li Yi looked at the Red Gold Five Elements Bracelet on his wrist.

He sensed within it with his Primordial Spirit power, starting to search for some elixirs that could help a man regain his vigor.

Although many heavenly treasures could achieve this, he needed the kind of elixir that an ordinary person could eat to strengthen their body without gaining extraordinary power. He didn't want to be targeted by some person-in-charge and then have them follow the trail to his door. After all, he was still wary of the unreasonable supernatural power in this world.

Soon, Li Yi found it among an inconspicuous pile of miscellaneous items.

Those were several boxes from the Four Seas and Bazhou, still containing some "Great Medicine," but even the Great Medicine from the Four Seas and Bazhou was not something an ordinary person could withstand; only a powerful martial artist could swallow it.

Fortunately, Li Yi dug out a few bottles of Blood-Qi Pills.

These were things for martial artists at the Blood Cultivation Realm to eat, refined from various tonics. They could strengthen a person's blood and qi, and even ordinary people could eat them.

"This thing can cure your illness." Li Yi quickly took out a bottle of Blood-Qi Pills and handed it to A-Wei.

"What is this?"

A-Wei curiously took the porcelain bottle, opened it to look, and saw some blood-red pills inside. He smelled them and caught a fragrance of Chinese medicinal herbs.

"This is a Blood-Qi Pill, used to replenish the human body's blood and qi. Most men become impotent because their blood and qi have declined. As long as the blood and qi are sufficiently vigorous, the body won't have any problems. This bottle of Blood-Qi Pills is a gift from me. Whenever you feel like you can't do it, eat one; it can last for several months," Li Yi said.

"So powerful?" A-Wei was excited but also somewhat suspicious: "Is it real or fake? You aren't lying to me, are you?"

"You are so smart, who could lie to you?" Li Yi said.

"I didn't expect you to have such a good eye, knowing you can't lie to me." A-Wei nodded slightly, then immediately stuffed the porcelain bottle into his pocket. He then reached out his hand again: "One bottle isn't enough. I have another friend who has the same problem. Give me a few more bottles."

Seeing this, Li Yi had no choice but to give him a few more bottles.

After A-Wei accepted them, he nodded with satisfaction: "Since you're so straightforward, I'll thank you properly on behalf of my friends."

"No need for thanks, just tell me where Yang Wang Jian is," Li Yi said.

A-Wei said: "If you had come to find me a few years ago, I would have made a phone call without a second thought to help you contact him. But unfortunately, I can't contact him now either. He disappeared, and I don't know where he went."

"Completely disappeared? He hasn't contacted anyone during this time?" Li Yi asked.

A-Wei said: "He doesn't even contact me, so who would he contact? After all, this matter involves the supernatural circle, and I'm not a Ghost Controller, so how could I understand it so clearly? But I can be certain that he is still alive. Many people guess that he is already dead, but only I believe he is not dead."

"Disappeared, but still alive? So, Yang Wang Jian is hiding?" Li Yi shook his head secretly.

If a Ghost Controller from the supernatural circle wanted to hide, it would indeed be very difficult to find them.

But logically speaking, it was impossible for everyone to be unaware of Yang Wang Jian's whereabouts; there must be people who knew, he just hadn't found them yet.

"Yang Wang Jian should have family, right? Do his family members know his whereabouts?" Li Yi asked again.

A-Wei said: "He is like me, an orphan with no family."

Li Yi looked at him and said: "Are you doing this on purpose, or do you not want to say?"

"Don't you see the sincerity revealed in my eyes? Everyone knows that I, A-Wei, am famous for being honest and would never lie. Besides, I have a strange disease: as long as I lie, my brothers will inexplicably shrink by a few centimeters. If you don't believe me, I can take off my pants and show you," A-Wei said. To prove his innocence, he had already started unbuckling his belt. "No need." Li Yi stopped this behavior.

Looking at it this way, this A-Wei indeed had quite a friendship with Yang Wang Jian, which was why he was unwilling to reveal more information.

However, he also understood; after all, this world contained terrifying supernatural power, and protecting the information of family and friends from leaking was the right thing to do.

It was just that what he had to do was also very important.

Since he couldn't ask it out during the day, he would just perform the Dream-Entrusting Technique at night to ask. At that time, A-Wei would definitely tell the truth.

Thinking of this, Li Yi didn't stay any longer and left with an excuse.

Seeing Li Yi leave, A-Wei then hurriedly put his pants back on: "Scared me to death. Good thing he wasn't interested in my butt, otherwise my lifelong reputation would have been ruined. But this person looks so dangerous, and he doesn't really seem like a Ghost Controller..."

And Li Yi, who had walked out of the internet cafe, did not continue to wander around in this city, but instead planned to find a secluded place with beautiful scenery to wait for the arrival of night.

After all, he already had a breakthrough, so he wasn't in a hurry.

He believed that as long as he followed A-Wei's lead, he would soon be able to determine Yang Wang Jian's location.

Li Yi came to the side of a large river in the city to sit quietly and rest. Several hours passed quickly, and before he knew it, the sky had turned to dusk. At this time, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians nearby.

The setting sun was like blood, dyeing the horizon red.

To be honest, he had rarely seen such a quiet and peaceful urban evening scene. He had only seen it before the "Heaven-Tilting" incident occurred. Although Li Yi had experienced many worlds, he was ultimately missing a sense of familiarity.

After all, whether he was in the future-tech World No. 6 or the ancient-like Four Seas and Bazhou, he, an Earthling from a city, always felt somewhat out of place.

Only in this World No. 36 did everything seem to have returned to the past.

Another moment passed.

Li Yi, who was sitting idly, suddenly discovered something wrong.

The setting sun had remained, not completely extinguished to welcome the darkness, and the people wandering around had unknowingly disappeared. Everything was strangely quiet, and that touch of red in the sky had quietly spread out at some point, now covering the entire sky.

This red sky was thick and somewhat eerie, giving Li Yi a sense of unreality.

"Supernatural power, huh." Li Yi remained sitting where he was. He had already sensed something and looked toward the riverside not far away.

There, at some point, a person had suddenly appeared. That person had come abruptly, as if appearing out of thin air.

At this moment.

This world by the riverside was dead silent, as if only Li Yi and this person remained.

"Li Yi, are you looking for me?" A cold voice without a hint of emotion sounded.

"Yang Wang Jian..."

Li Yi's gaze focused: "I heard people say you disappeared and haven't shown your face for several years. Some people speculated that you were already dead. I didn't expect you to take the initiative to show your face and see me today."

"If I let you continue investigating, it will have some bad effects on me. And I have indeed disappeared, at least at this point in time," Yang Wang Jian said.

"At this point in time?"

Hearing this, Li Yi's expression shifted immediately. Although he hadn't read many books, his mind had become much sharper since he started cultivating, and he reacted quickly.

"So that's it. You aren't the Yang Wang Jian of this point in time? You come from the future?"

"A practitioner's comprehension ability is indeed much stronger than an ordinary person's. You are right; I come from the future, to be precise, from several decades later," Yang Wang Jian said.

Li Yi understood instantly: "So that's how it is. No wonder when I crossed dimensions, Yang Wang Jian was still just a messenger on the third floor of the Ghost Post Office, but in the blink of an eye, you split open the cross-dimensional gate and attacked the Profound Immortal Continent. I said that such strength wasn't something you could have possessed at that time. If you come from decades later, then it's understandable."

"Yang Wei was right; you really can reverse time and space."

Yang Wang Jian said: "This world is very special. You are a cross-dimensional traveler, and there are many things you cannot understand. If there's nothing else, I suggest you leave this world as soon as possible."

That Mahayana stage sword cultivator let out a low shout, and his life-bound flying sword flew out fiercely, erupting with a heaven-shaking sword light, slashing toward an ancient tree nearby with unstoppable momentum.

Yang Wang Jian looked into the distance: "Using supernatural power to reverse life and death is a major taboo. Besides, I didn't agree to help you resurrect your mother; that was Yang Wei who agreed. He always likes to act on his own."

"Isn't it all the same? Or are you saying you want to go back on your word?" Li Yi looked at him and said.

"Follow me."

Yang Wang Jian was silent for a moment. In the end, he had no choice but to help Yang Wei clean up his mess; after all, it was something he had created himself.
