Chapter 134: The Hidden Lord Has Come
The body of a Pure Immortal Body is delicate, warm, and moist, as if immortalized, possessing a luster different from ordinary people, which any opposite sex finds difficult to resist.
Brother Zuoqiu Zuoqiu Lanlan's clothes were loose, and she was fainted on his lap, charming and fascinating.
Li Li Youyi remained calm, trying hard to stay composed, and pushed gently with his fingers, causing Brother Zuoqiu Zuoqiu Lanlan's face to slide from his shoulder to the ground.
Standing up, he tidied his slightly disheveled Night-Walking Clothes and talisman robe; fortunately, he was wearing enough layers.
"Which one of you did this?" he said.
Hidden Twenty-Four's voice came from under the Deceased Spirit skin: "See? I said, if you ruin his good deed, he will definitely be angry."
Li Li Youyi understood Brother Zuoqiu Zuoqiu Lanlan; this noble lady of the portal was extremely arrogant in her heart and couldn't have debased herself for no reason. He said: "You did it? What means? Bewitchment? Talisman? Mental power? Illusion?"
A look of confusion appeared in Hidden Twenty-Four's eyes: "You don't think I used evil means like the Six Desires Talisman to lure her into your arms to act in heat? Hmph, I just couldn't bear to watch anymore, so I punched her unconscious. Otherwise... it was really..."
"Unbearable to look at."
Said Hidden Twenty-Three, a bear-like freak-species.
Li Li Youyi felt that Hidden Twenty-Four indeed had no reason to cause trouble; this kind of joke couldn't be made.
But Brother Zuoqiu Zuoqiu Lanlan was such a reserved and dignified woman, and she had just lost her husband, so she was in the midst of grief. How could she take the initiative to do such a shameful thing?
In the Thirty-Three Mile Mountain, there must be strange things that could not be understood.
In the distance, Brother Zuoqiu Baiming had long since fainted and was lying on the ground.
Li Li Youyi's gaze fell on the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors in the tree, communicating with them, asking if any suspicious things had happened before.
The seven little ones each said their own thing, chattering away; some were vague, some claimed to have seen two terrifying white shadows, some said Brother Zuoqiu Zuoqiu Lanlan was possessed, as if she had become a different person, but she was very good to Li Li Youyi...
There was no unified answer at all.
Li Li Youyi shook his head, not listening to them continue, as the seven of them together didn't have a brain larger than a finger. He walked over slowly and said: "You two punched her unconscious, but still left her in my arms. Is this intentionally wanting to see me make a fool of myself?"
Hidden Twenty-Four said: "God Hidden Person, these words are wrong. If we wanted to see you make a fool of yourself, we wouldn't have punched her unconscious."
"That couldn't be watched." Hidden Twenty-Three said.
Li Li Youyi was very helpless, knowing that continuing to argue would only make it dirtier, so he said in a threatening tone: "Right and wrong, let it end here. After leaving the Thirty-Three Mile Mountain, if I hear a fourth person knowing about this, when I become the God Hidden Person, you two will definitely not have a good end."
Hidden Twenty-Three was threatened for the first time, his face changed greatly, and he nodded silently.
Hidden Twenty-Four didn't care, pointed to Brother Zuoqiu Zuoqiu Lanlan on the ground, and smiled: "She is the fourth person. Will you kill, or will I kill?"
"She is still useful."
Li Li Youyi didn't dwell on this matter and asked seriously: "How did you two enter the Thirty-Three Mile Mountain? Hidden Twenty-Four, have you broken through to the second realm of the Five Seas Realm?"
Hidden Twenty-Three said: "The Hidden Lord has come! It is in this Immortal Realm space that he captured a Deceased Spirit, refined the talisman robe and skin, and sent us both in. Immortal Soil, Dyed-Cloud Strange Herbs, Gold Springs, and other rare cultivation resources are also highly valued by the Hidden Sect."
"Hidden Twenty-Four seized two Dyed-Cloud Strange Herbs from the martial cultivators of the four major sects before entering the mountain and opened the second Qi Sea."
Five Seas Realm martial cultivators gathered in the Immortal Realm space on a large scale, most of them coming for Dyed-Cloud Strange Herbs, seeking a quick breakthrough.
Hidden Twenty-Three was quite envious, but there was no way; Hidden Twenty-Four had obtained a high-grade blood-refining magic artifact from somewhere, and her combat power had become extremely astonishing, even killing one expert in the third realm of the Five Seas Realm from the Sui Sect.
He didn't have such powerful treasures.
One step ahead, then step by step ahead.
The gap would only get wider and wider.
This was also why martial cultivators could fight to the death for a treasure.
Was this just a treasure?
This was changing one's fate!
Under the Deceased Spirit skin, Hidden Twenty-Four carried her hands behind her back, tilted her chin, and said indifferently: "Just the second realm of the Five Seas Realm. If I can pick four or five more Dyed-Cloud Strange Herbs of the same type, it is possible to open the third Qi Sea in a short time. Only by reaching the third realm can one be considered to have initially entered the ranks of top experts of the younger generation in Li Prefecture."
With a little girl's temperament, a little achievement made her show off and float.
Li Li Youyi smiled and shook his head, asking: "How long have you been in the mountain, and how many strange herbs have you picked?"
Hidden Twenty-Three said: "We have only been in the mountain for one day. The Dyed-Cloud Strange Herbs under the Nine Mile Mountain have almost been picked clean by the Gushing Spring Realm martial cultivators of the major sects. Currently, we have only found two. One can help a Pure Immortal Body transform, and one can help open the Qi Sea."
"Originally, we planned to go up the Nine Mile Mountain, but halfway, Hidden Twenty-Four discovered the traces of your footprints and chased all the way here."
Li Li Youyi looked at Hidden Twenty-Four in surprise: "Not simple, even details like my footprints were silently remembered."
"Not just footprints, but also the aura emitted by Shang Zhi's corpse, which remained in the air." Hidden Twenty-Four said.
In the Thirty-Three Mile Mountain, Li Li Youyi was bold and skilled, not deliberately covering his tracks, so being tracked by her was nothing strange.
Hidden Twenty-Four asked: "What about you, how many Dyed-Cloud Strange Herbs have you picked?"
"I only entered the mountain half a day earlier than you, and currently have no harvest." Li Li Youyi shrugged helplessly and smiled bitterly.
Hidden Twenty-Four said coldly: "I went to the boundary of the Gushing Spring Realm Qi barrier. Yao Yin said that you seized quite a few strange herbs from the hands of Gushing Spring Realm martial cultivators of major forces. The ones she and Hidden Twenty-Five seized are also with you."
Hidden Twenty-Three looked at Li Li Youyi with eager eyes.
Li Li Youyi changed the subject and asked: "Has the road from the Five Seas Realm boundary to Yao Guan City been opened?"
"With Hidden Nine and Cang Li making a move, who can be an enemy below the Dao Seed Realm? The Gushing Spring Realm martial cultivators of the Jiuli tribe should have already withdrawn by now; you don't need to worry about that side." Hidden Twenty-Three said.
Hidden Twenty-Four said: "I have already taken two strange herbs that help a Pure Immortal Body transform and have cultivated into a Half-Immortal Body. However, now that I have broken through to the second realm of the Five Seas Realm, I am afraid I still need three more to complete the Pure Immortal Body transformation."
Li Li Youyi asked Hidden Twenty-Three: "I expect that the outside must be surging with wind and clouds, turning the world upside down. At this juncture, why did the Hidden Lord come to the Immortal Realm space instead?"
Hidden Twenty-Three said: "The Hidden Lord didn't tell us, but I guess he definitely didn't come just for the opportunities and treasures here; he must have other major plans. Let's go pay a visit when we go down the mountain later!"
Hidden Twenty-Four walked in front of Li Li Youyi and said almost in his ear: "You owe me a favor. If I hadn't made a move just now, the consequences would have been unimaginable; you would have been afraid of having to marry into the Brother Zuoqiu portal to calm the situation. I want three Dyed-Cloud Strange Herbs; it's not excessive at all."
Li Li Youyi finally stared at her: "Strange herbs! Strange herbs... don't just think about getting something for nothing. How much is a strange herb worth? Go ask Hidden Twenty-Five; he bought them from me."
"However, there is indeed an opportunity to seize strange herbs right now. I didn't want to share it with you, and I could have done it myself. Since you are here, put in some effort and try to catch them all, leaving none behind."
"But I'll say the ugly words first: you can only share three Dyed-Cloud Strange Herbs each. The rest, whether strange herbs, magic artifacts, Gold Springs, or Immortal Soil, all belong to me."
The reason Li Li Youyi was willing to offer such generous terms was that he suddenly thought he might have underestimated the insight and wisdom of the Five Seas Realm powerhouses.
Once Xue Qi and the others discovered that the Three Chen Palace and Coffin Mountain had been wiped out, they would definitely be extremely cautious when going down the mountain.
Or they would go down the mountain in another direction.
Wanting to intercept and kill them by waiting for the rabbit, the prey probably wasn't that stupid.
Immediately, Li Li Youyi told the two his thoughts on hunting and seizing.
Hidden Twenty-Three was shocked, thinking he had misheard: "Ambush the four major sects and Tianya Ridge? You mean, ambush them all on the way down the mountain? I think, ambushing some Gushing Spring Realm martial cultivators is enough!"
"Be more ambitious; the opportunity is very rare." Li Li Youyi said.
Hidden Twenty-Four said: "This is impossible! Chen Song, Di Ran, and Xue Qi, these three are either Pure Immortal Bodies or Nine Springs Supremes. If I use the Three-Headed Snake Blood Soul, cleaning up one is naturally not a problem. But the other two, plus the demon experts of Tianya Ridge, will definitely take this opportunity to kill you and Hidden Twenty-Three. How long can you hold on?"
"Do you think I want to rely on you?"
Li Li Youyi took off his Night-Walking Clothes and threw them to her: "Wear them and go to the mountain to scout. Once they go down the mountain, report back immediately. Your task is just this."
"By the way, pay attention to safety. There is a kind of giant-headed humanoid unknown creature on the mountain; if you encounter it, run quickly."
Hidden Twenty-Four stared at Li Li Youyi repeatedly. As a dignified Supreme of the second realm of the Five Seas Realm, was she being sent to be a scout? She asked with a smile: "So confident, have you broken through to the Five Seas?"
Li Li Youyi also revealed a smile: "Whether I have broken through to the Five Seas or not, beating you shouldn't be a difficult matter."
"Hmph!"
Hidden Twenty-Four put on the Night-Walking Clothes, wrapped her whole body, raised her snow-white, jade-like Half-Immortal Body slender arm, and revealed the Three-Headed Snake bracelet: "I have a snake!"
She turned invisible and disappeared, going up the mountain.
"Although the temper is a bit big, it's still obedient."
Li Li Youyi's gaze fell on Brother Zuoqiu Zuoqiu Lanlan, who was lying on the ground with disheveled clothes, and hurriedly called out: "Don't leave yet, put her clothes on properly."
Li Li Youyi sent Hidden Twenty-Three to send the fainted two from the Brother Zuoqiu portal down the mountain. Immediately, he performed the Jade Void Breathing Method, entered a state of tranquility where he was the only one in the world, and introspected into the first Qi Sea.
A small lung lobe had opened up an inner world of ten squares, like a slightly irregular transparent cloud.
The space wall of the Qi Sea was stained with a layer of immortal mist, flowing with light and color.
The magic power inside was only a thin layer, less than half a square.
This was the magic power that surged in crazily and transformed at the moment of breaking through.
Now, even if the ten springs surged together and magic power was continuously injected and transformed from the one hundred and twenty string meridians, the speed of increase was quite slow.
"Cultivating for three or four days, it is estimated that one square can be transformed. To impact the second Qi Sea, one must first cultivate the first Qi Sea to perfection; otherwise, being too eager for success will lead to failure."
Like laying bricks and stacking wood, it was boring, simple, and repetitive, but it was also an indispensable process for building a ten-thousand-foot-high building.
What Li Li Youyi didn't know was that his tenth spring, the Shenque, was very extraordinary, surging with liquid magic power, enough to increase the cultivation speed to an unimaginable level.
Those martial cultivators who broke into the Five Seas from the Seven Springs had a first Qi Sea of only one square, and wanting to cultivate it to perfection still required two or three months.
It only took him three or four days to cultivate one square, dozens of times faster.
"After breaking through, the purity of magic power has indeed improved. But it is still gaseous, not liquid, not as good as the Shenque."
Li Li Youyi released his mental power, entered the blood mud space, and asked Master Guan for the method of tempering magic power in the Qi Sea.
Master Guan's voice came through: "Once you break through to the Five Seas Realm, the moment the breakthrough occurs, your magic power will complete its first transformation. However, to open a second sea of Qi, you must make use of the magic power within the first sea."
"From opening the four springs, when magic power can initially leave the body, the grade of magic power improves with every realm improved."
"Gushing Spring gas is six grades, Five Seas gas is six grades."
"You are quite special, having cultivated the tenth spring. At the tenth spring, the grade of magic power is comparable to the first grade of Five Seas gas."
