Chapter 94: Hanging Man Spear (League Leader Bonus: Little Dinosaur Loves to Eat)

In the room.

Li Yi sat on the bed, hands forming a precious seal, his expression peaceful, smiling yet not smiling. Although he was in the darkness, his body was like a bright lamp, actually exuding a faint light. These lights were from the inside out, setting him off like a Buddha in a temple, descending to the world at this moment just to save all living beings.

The Bone Contemplation Cultivation Technique lasted for a whole night.

It wasn't until 8:00 AM that Li Yi slowly opened his eyes and woke up from cultivation.

The light on his body receded, the peaceful expression disappeared, and this Buddha who descended to the world instantly hid and disappeared, revealing Li Yi's mortal skin and flesh.

"Not bad, the remnant thoughts in the Dao coins didn't come out to make trouble during this cultivation, and after I used the Bone Contemplation Cultivation Technique, my body's transformation and evolution speed were very fast, and the cultivation effect was significant." Li Yi stood up, he moved his body, feeling full of energy, as if he had endless strength.

And another layer of old skin fell off his body.

After this layer of old skin fell off, Li Yi's skin began to become flawless and translucent, and his perception of the outside world also became stronger, not as dull as before. A little breeze blowing around, his skin could immediately feel it, and this feeling fed back to the body, which could let Li Yi immediately understand the situation happening around.

This is actually a sign that he is opening Spirit Inspiration.

It's just that Li Yi is evolving in this regard now and has not fully reached the standard of opening Spirit Inspiration. You know, a true Spirit Inspiration practitioner can perceive the humidity of the air, changes in airflow, light intensity, and even some subtle temperature differences around him even with his eyes closed, and these information collection and summary can even allow Spirit Inspiration practitioners to directly perceive things around them.

Even without eyes, he can "see" everything around him.

"Shedding a layer of skin a day? This body's evolution speed is very fast. The Bone Contemplation Cultivation Technique plus the cosmic energy supply of the defective Mystic Object, this configuration allows me, a newcomer who hasn't cultivated for a long time, to be catching up with those seniors who stepped into cultivation early. I believe it won't be long before I can surpass many people."

Li Yi reached out and tore it, a layer of old skin peeled off. He looked at it and compared it with yesterday's.

The layer of skin shed today was significantly thinner, and there were fewer impurities.

According to this, he would not have such a situation after shedding his skin at most five more times.

Drank a cup of golden nutrient solution to replenish the consumption of the whole night.

Li Yi walked out of the room, ready to go to the bathroom to take a shower and clean his body.

It's just that he was stunned after he opened the door and walked out of the room.

He blinked, wondering if he had misread it, or if his Spirit Medium had strengthened again, and he could see some deeper things?

Why is there a spear in the living room of his house?

No mistake.

Li Yi did see a spear floating in the middle of his living room, like a weapon used by ancient soldiers. However, this spear was a bit different from ordinary spears. On the spearhead, there was a small hole on the left and right sides, and a thin iron chain passed through the small hole, and two naked bronze little people were tied to the iron chain respectively.

One little person had a painful face and a distorted expression, as if he had suffered some severe torture.

The other little person had a weird expression. Although his body was pierced by an iron chain, he was grinning and laughing, extremely crazy.

The two little people were lifelike, like miniature living people, making people feel inexplicable fear.

"Seems to have seen this spear somewhere..." Li Yi stared at this illusory spear floating in mid-air and couldn't help but ponder.

A feeling of familiarity.

He had a good memory, but he couldn't remember where he had glimpsed it for a while, and he needed to recall and think about it.

After a while.

Li Yi remembered some things.

"Ghost Street, I saw this spear on that Ghost Street in the danger zone. It is a weapon held by the ghost soldiers wandering on the Ghost Street. I saw it once or twice at that time, so I felt familiar. It's just why did the ghost soldier's weapon appear in my house? This is the old city district, not the danger zone."

Li Yi remembered some things: "Is it related to that matter?"

He glanced at his room.

When Li Yi left the Ghost Street, he not only bought a coffin ganoderma for his master, but also bought two mud horses.

One mud horse was used up when leaving the Ghost Street and was completely destroyed, but the other mud horse was well preserved and was now placed in his room. Besides that, there was also a leather cover brought out together, which could be used to cover the head and hide the breath of living people.

In order to buy the coffin ganoderma and mud horse, Li Yi drew his hand three times in the hands of the stall owner and spent eighty years of his lifespan.

That stall owner said that seven days later, a debt-collecting ghost would come to the door to collect the debt. If he couldn't get it, there would be ghost soldiers coming to the door. If the ghost soldiers couldn't get it, there would be ghost generals...

Calculate the time.

Li Yi left the Ghost Street seven days ago, which means the debt-collecting ghost has already come, but for some reason, the debt collection failed. So this time, the ghost soldiers came, but it seems the ghost soldiers are also finished. If they were still alive, he should have heard the movement last night, or he would have been taken away for eighty years of lifespan.

Everything was safe and sound. Instead, the ghost soldier's weapon, this spear, was left in the living room. Does this indicate that the ghost soldier's debt collection also failed?

"Is the Earth Prison really so evil that even ghost soldiers are finished?"

Li Yi looked at the illusory spear and pondered: "However, it is not simple that the ghost soldier could hold on until he arrived at my house. But looking at it from another angle, the ghost soldier has been able to enter my house from the danger zone. If a more powerful ghost general comes, then am I in danger?"

Thinking of this.

Li Yi felt that he still had a long way to go to default on his debt, and it was not as simple as he imagined.

However, calculate the time.

When the ghost general comes to collect the debt, it will be at least one or two months later. By that time, Li Yi will have mostly opened his Spirit Inspiration, and maybe he will be able to fight the ghost general by then.

Then

Li Yi walked toward the illusory spear, trying to reach out and grab this weapon to see if it could be used to deal with the ghost general who might find him in the future.

An incredible thing happened.

Li Yi's palm easily passed through this illusory spear and couldn't touch it. It seemed that this spear didn't exist in reality at all, but just a projection from an unknown place, and even practitioners could only barely see it and had no qualifications to possess it.

"Really can't touch it."

He waved his palm back and forth a few times, but still couldn't touch it.

After trying several times, Li Yi finally gave up.

However, out of curiosity, he still picked up his phone to try and look up the mysteries of this spear, to see if any other practitioners online had similar experiences.

As it turned out, after searching for a long time, Li Yi gained nothing, though he did find weapons similar to this spear.

"This spear is called the Hanging Man's Spear; it was a ceremonial weapon used by the ancients for sacrifices, usually used as grave goods for the dead, and belongs to a type of funerary object."

"Yin soldiers using funerary objects—that makes perfect sense."

"But why is it called the Hanging Man's Spear? This name is very discordant."

"First there was the Mud Horse, and now there's the Hanging Spear. How is it that I, a fine young man, keep dealing with these unreliable things?"

Li Yi sighed and stopped researching the spear.

Since this thing couldn't be taken, he would just leave it at home. In any case, ordinary people couldn't see it; this thing involved ghosts, and only practitioners who had opened their Spirit Medium Realm could see it. Besides, he was moving soon, and no bored practitioner would come to his house to visit this Hanging... no, this spear.

Just as he was about to put down his phone, he suddenly received a few text messages.

One was a bank notification that forty million had been deposited into his account.

Another message was from Wang Jian, telling Li Yi that the Heping Financial Building had been transferred to his name and he could go over to take possession at any time. Some relevant documents and proof were at the Investigation Bureau, and he could go pick them up whenever he was free.

"The Investigation Bureau's efficiency is truly high," Li Yi thought to himself. "Since the reward for the last mission was issued so quickly, my move should also be brought forward. This place is no longer suitable to live in; there's no sense of security at all. Who knows what might show up at the door next time?"

Afterward, he pulled out a phone number.

This was given to him by the investigator Zheng Gong at the training base earlier.

Soon, the call went through.

"Hello, who is this?" A woman's voice came from the other end of the line.

"I am Li Yi, introduced by Zheng Gong," Li Yi said.

Upon hearing the name Li Yi, the woman's voice on the other end immediately became enthusiastic: "So it's Mr. Li. Zheng Gong mentioned you to me specifically before. Mr. Li, you want to renovate the Heping Financial Building, is that right?"

"Yes," Li Yi said. "I want to move in as soon as possible. How soon can you get it done?"

"Mr. Li might not be very familiar with the renovation side of things. May I ask if Mr. Li is free recently? I would like to chat with you in person to better understand some of your requirements," the woman replied.

"Is it that troublesome? Alright then, let's meet in front of the Heping Financial Building. We can solve any problems together. I am a practitioner and don't have much time to waste on these trivial matters," Li Yi said.

"No problem, then let's meet in an hour," the woman on the phone said. "By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Zheng Lan."

"Hmm, okay," Li Yi said, then hung up the phone.

Afterward, he took a shower in the bathroom, tidied up his things, and set off.
