Chapter 134: Ten Directions of the Qi Sea

"You mean..."

Zuoqiu Lanlan understood what he was implying, her eyes full of suspicion, then she shook her head: "No, Sima Tan is righteous and has noble character; he is not that kind of person."

"Perhaps he is not that kind of person yet, still restrained by his conscience, but once he realizes it, he will definitely kill us to silence us. Extraordinary talent, plus seven strange insects, plus our weak and frail state..."

Zuoqiu Baiming said: "If it were you, would you kill to silence? By the way, there is also the Sky Flame Blade and the Immortal Soil; is he not tempted at all?"

Zuoqiu Lanlan thought of something and said miserably: "He won a complete victory in this battle and will definitely be able to seize a large amount of spoils. If he takes us back down the mountain, he will inevitably have to share the credit with us. If he kills us directly, it's just a matter of swinging his blade two more times."

Zuoqiu Baiming nodded: "We can't go back; the Thirty-Three Mile Mountain will be our burial ground."

"If we flee now, there might be a chance." Zuoqiu Lanlan said.

"We can't escape! And fleeing at this time might just provoke him to kill us to silence us." Zuoqiu Baiming said.

Zuoqiu Lanlan said: "Perhaps... we are being small-minded..."

Zuoqiu Baiming said: "If you want to survive, you have to make the worst plans. Lanlan, you are a Pure Immortal Body with outstanding beauty. If you can take the initiative to give yourself, perhaps you can stabilize him. Sima Tan looks like a greenhorn focused on martial arts; as long as you let him get lost in it and temporarily forget about killing us, he will surely regret it too late after going down the mountain."

"Ah... Brother Che's body is not yet cold..."

Zuoqiu Lanlan exclaimed, unable to believe he would say such things. How could someone who was once so proud suddenly become so bottomless?

"Then let's wait for death together!" Zuoqiu Baiming sighed.

In the mist far from the stone forest of giant stone statues.

The camel bell rang loudly, and lightning intertwined.

Li Youyi used all his means, finally using the lightning erupted from the black iron seal to blast Chen Song into a piece of charcoal. Then, he searched his body.

"Worthy of being a team leader, he actually has three mid-grade magic artifacts on him. The Three Chen Palace has really spared no expense."

Li Youyi found a boundary bag in Chen Song's arms, which was not damaged.

He used magic power to open it and took out seventeen Dyeing-Cloud Strange Herbs.

"So many? Great!"

Li Youyi was overjoyed. After searching Chen Song, he threw his corpse off the cliff to destroy the evidence, so as not to expose the Evil Camel Bell and the black iron seal.

As for the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors, it didn't matter; Zuoqiu Ting already knew about them anyway.

Next, he searched the corpses one by one, finding a large number of Dyeing-Cloud Strange Herbs, Gold Springs, and magic artifacts.

Unfortunately, he found nothing of the most precious Immortal Soil.

Li Youyi took back the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors into the insect tube and returned to the stone forest of giant stone statues in high spirits. Just this one haul was enough to make him wealthy in the Five Seas Realm.

He secretly calculated in his heart: should he do it again?

Once out of the Thirty-Three Mile Mountain, Li Prefecture was full of experts; how could he be as unscrupulous as he was now?

After returning, Li Youyi naturally returned the Sky Flame Blade first.

Zuoqiu Baiming, sitting on the ground, acted as if disaster was imminent and said hurriedly: "I am like a cripple now and cannot fight. It is better for Brother Sima to hold the Sky Flame Blade to exert its maximum value. After all, Xue Qi and that Sky Cliff Ridge fox demon are still in the mountains; what if we encounter them?"

"Makes sense! It's been cleaned up, let's go, let's go down the mountain now."

Li Youyi didn't want to waste words and carried Shang Zhi's corpse on his back.

He noticed Zuoqiu Lanlan's heavy-hearted appearance and reminded her: "Lady Tian, let's go, you carry Brother Baiming!"

"We are going down the mountain now?"

Zuoqiu Lanlan asked in a low voice, not daring to meet his eyes.

"Otherwise?"

Li Youyi felt it was inexplicable; did she still want to continue looking for Immortal Soil?

Zuoqiu Lanlan looked at his back as he carried the corpse and walked forward, secretly relieved. It seemed she was truly being small-minded; if he really had evil intentions, why wait until now to not act?

The two walked down the mountain very quickly, and before long, they arrived at Three Mile Mountain.

Li Youyi secretly calculated that delivering them here should be safe!

Next, how should they reasonably part ways?

He didn't dare to see Zuoqiu Ting and planned to leave the Thirty-Three Mile Mountain from another direction.

Zuoqiu Lanlan and Zuoqiu Baiming, who were following behind, became more nervous the further they went down the mountain, fearing that "Sima Tan" would realize and suddenly explode to kill them.

Just as their nerves were taut and they were extremely nervous.

Li Youyi suddenly stopped, turned around slowly, and revealed a smile that they found extremely strange. He said: "It's safe enough here. You go first, I still have something to do."

As he spoke, he took a step back, clearing a path.

Zuoqiu Lanlan's face turned pale instantly, and then she shook her head vigorously.

Zuoqiu Baiming gave a dry laugh: "What is it? Lanlan can also help with some things."

Zuoqiu Lanlan nodded hurriedly.

Li Youyi had already prepared his words: "If the people from the Sui Sect and Sky Cliff Ridge come down the mountain, they will definitely pass through here. I plan to wait for them and take this opportunity to deal with them. I am enough alone; you don't need to stay."

Li Youyi had the intention to get away, but also the idea of making another fortune.

Zuoqiu Lanlan and Zuoqiu Baiming stared at him tightly, not daring to advance a single step.

"Sima Tan" was extremely abnormal right now. Since he was hunting the Sui Sect and Sky Cliff Ridge, why did he want to send them away? It was too deliberate!

Li Youyi realized and hurriedly handed over the Sky Flame Blade: "It's time to return this to its owner!"

Zuoqiu Baiming didn't dare to take it, feeling that the other party was testing them, or still hesitating whether to kill them. Sometimes, a person's good or evil lies in that single thought.

Perhaps it was when he took the blade, or perhaps when they went down the mountain.

Zuoqiu Baiming smiled tentatively: "Brother Sima saved our lives, and we have nothing to repay you with. Let's gift this blade to you!"

Li Youyi was surprised, and his impression of Zuoqiu Baiming changed instantly.

He might be a bit arrogant, but being able to distinguish between gratitude and resentment was commendable. Who doesn't have some character flaws?

Since he had already saved them, Li Youyi naturally accepted it with peace of mind, and his smile became much more sincere: "I feel you are all too nervous. We are already very close to the bottom of the mountain; there is nothing to fear. Lady Tian, please!"

Zuoqiu Lanlan put Zuoqiu Baiming down and said with a more sincere look: "We are irreconcilable with the Sui Sect and Sky Cliff Sect. I also want to avenge this grudge. We are teammates; we advance and retreat together, sharing life and death."

Zuoqiu Baiming said: "That's right. With this life-and-death friendship, even if we go down the mountain, we will definitely keep the secret for Brother Sima and never reveal a single word."

"Brother Baiming, your injury..."

"It's fine, no rush to treat it."

Li Youyi frowned deeply.

Can't get rid of them?

Zuoqiu Baiming is so loyal; did I really misunderstand him before?

"Fine. There is still one day before the immortal mist dissipates. I expect Xue Qi and the others will only come down the mountain tomorrow. You guys go heal your injuries, and I'll go over there to rest for a while."

Li Youyi carried Shang Zhi's corpse and walked into the distance.

He prepared to take this time to swallow the Five Seas Pill, open the first Qi Sea, and impact the Five Seas Realm.

After going down the mountain, he could encounter any kind of expert. If he could officially enter the Five Seas Realm, even if he didn't transform from a fish into a dragon, at least the sky would be high and the sea wide.

Arriving by a stream, Li Youyi put down the corpse and carefully watched the two from the Zuoqiu Gate in the distance, ensuring that using the spatial power of the Buddha's Relic here would not be sensed by them.

He had three treasures on him to help impact the Five Seas Realm: Five Seas Pill, Dyeing-Cloud Strange Herbs, and the Buddha's Relic.

But he wanted to try relying on his own strength first.

Impacting the Five Seas Realm, the most important thing is to open the first Qi Sea.

The Qi Sea is like a furnace, possessing the ability to temper magic power. Magic power surges out from the spring eye, is transported to the Qi Sea for storage, and is tempered into purer, high-grade magic power. When performing martial arts moves and activating magic artifacts, the power will far exceed that of a Spring-Gushing Realm Wu Xiu.

Li Youyi sat cross-legged, performed the breathing method, and gradually entered a state of tranquility and nature.

Only I exist in the world.

The outside world disappeared.

The method to impact the Five Seas Realm had already been taught to him by Master Guan, and it was not complicated.

The ten springs in his body surged one by one, and magic power entered the one hundred and twenty trace veins, circulating throughout his body. After several cycles, Li Youyi guided it with the realm-breaking method, and the first trace vein branched out to connect to the first lung lobe.

Immediately after, the second trace vein branched out.

The third trace vein branched out...

This was a slow and exhausting process; every trace vein had to branch out to connect to the future Qi Sea.

These branches were called String Bridges.

Like strings, they connected the Qi Sea and the trace veins.

Once interrupted, all previous efforts would be wasted.

Therefore, many Wu Xiu would swallow Five Seas Pills before impacting the realm to provide sufficient energy and magic power support. At the same time, the Five Seas Pill contained the power to temper the lung lobes, making it easier to open the Qi Sea.

In the distance.

Zuoqiu Baiming glanced at Li Youyi and transmitted his voice with magic power: "He looks like he's meditating, but he's actually questioning his heart. The next day will be hard! Life and death are in his single thought."

"We are already very close to the bottom of the mountain; if we want to escape, it's a matter of an instant." Zuoqiu Lanlan said.

Zuoqiu Baiming sneered: "With his cultivation, you? Why do you think he sat so far away? For normal rest, shouldn't he rest right next to us? He is testing us. If we flee, it means we are guilty. At that time, he can kill us without any psychological guilt. For a person of his character, to break through the moral barrier, he needs a reason."

"Brother, are you thinking too deeply? I think Sima Tan is not that kind of person." Zuoqiu Lanlan said.

Zuoqiu Baiming said indignantly: "Thinking too shallowly, hasn't the price paid been big enough? Don't underestimate human nature; you only have one life. You just refuse to pay, right? I see you admire him so much, you're almost treating him as a saint!"

"I..."

Zuoqiu Lanlan struggled in her heart, falling into endless pain.

Li Youyi had built one hundred and twenty branch String Bridges, his energy was severely depleted, and he became secretly nervous.

If the realm-breaking failed, he would have to wait another year.

"Start!"

The ten springs in his body surged wildly, and magic power surged toward the one hundred and twenty String Bridges at the fastest speed. The routes of the String Bridges were all different, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, heading straight for the central lung lobe.

At this moment, Li Youyi's breathing became incomparably long, the surrounding airflow surged, and the branches and leaves swayed.

An unprecedented intense pain and swelling erupted in his lungs, as if his chest was about to explode.

"Boom! Boom..."

The lung lobes beat rapidly and violently like a heart.

"Boom!"

His body shook violently, and all the magic power had a vent, pouring into the inner world of the lung lobes, making the inner world larger and larger.

"The Qi Sea is open!"

Li Youyi hurriedly swallowed the Five Seas Pill and a Dyeing-Cloud Strange Herb, while simultaneously activating the spatial power of the Buddha's Relic to expand the inner world in the lung lobes.

He knew that the size of every Wu Xiu's first Qi Sea was different.

The larger it was opened, the more advantageous it obviously was.

The first Qi Sea of a Wu Xiu who broke the Five Seas with Seven Springs was almost only one square. A Wu Xiu who broke the Five Seas with Eight Springs could reach two squares.

A Wu Xiu who broke the Five Seas with Nine Springs started at three squares.

At the same realm, the gap in the thickness of magic power could reach several times. The gap in combat power was evident.

After three breaths, Li Youyi's first Qi Sea reached one square.

After seven breaths, it reached two squares.

After a quarter of an hour, it expanded to seven squares.

The speed of expansion slowed down, becoming more and more difficult.

Because the larger the space of the inner world, the thinner the magic power inside. Li Youyi had been continuously mobilizing magic power to convert it, but it was far from enough.

For a Wu Xiu at the first realm of the Five Seas, the process from breaking the realm to filling the Qi Sea with magic power, and then to fully tempering the magic power, often took several months.

Just as Li Youyi was going all out to impact the eighth square.

A pair of soft and delicate arms suddenly draped over his neck, someone sat in his arms, a fragrance came to his nose, and the delicate body had a very elastic and warm touch.

"What's the situation?"

Li Youyi had long since released the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Emperors to protect him; how could anyone get close to him?

He had no time to be distracted and continued to impact the eighth Qi Sea.

"Boom!"

Li Youyi vaguely sensed that someone had struck the woman in his arms unconscious. While curious, he was also secretly relieved, and then went all out to impact the Qi Sea.

An hour later, the size of the Qi Sea settled at ten squares.

Gradually, his consciousness returned completely to the outside world, and he opened his eyes. He saw Zuoqiu Lanlan, with her clothes disheveled, fainted in his arms, giving a feeling of a setup.

If this were seen by others, he wouldn't be able to wash himself clean even if he jumped into the Sui River.

The massive Hidden Twenty-Three and a slender figure wearing the Spirit-Passing Human Skin were sitting on a stone several zhang away, communicating via voice transmission. Seeing him open his eyes, the two immediately looked over.
