Chapter 312

She added: "Taking a step back, even if they are still in the Holy Heart layer. Why could they allow me to sneak into the General Altar? Are they really not afraid of the route into the General Altar being exposed? Could it be that they are being held back in the Holy Heart layer by more important matters?"

Li Youyi knew very well that Tang Wanzhou wanted to go to the Holy Heart layer, firstly to find the answer to "Yin Corpse Planting Rice," which is a great righteousness for the benefit of the world.

Secondly, it must be for the "Bright Star Scripture" mentioned on the mural, wanting to dispel the Realm of the Dead and open up territory for the Lingxiao Living Realm.

Li Youyi admired her courage and boldness, but he was only a Five-Sea realm Wu Xiu and couldn't accompany her in her madness.

"I’m not asking you to take risks with me, just teleport me over," Tang Wanzhou said.

Li Youyi let out a sigh of relief, showing an expression of "that’s more like it." Having high cultivation is different; nothing is taboo, and they dare to break into any kind of place.

"But we have to wait a bit, wait until I heal my injuries."

Tang Wanzhou added: "See those grooves in the array? Those are for placing high-grade blood crystals to provide energy for the array. I only have three, help me buy five more."

Blood crystals are one of the most important minerals in the cultivation world, with thick blood Qi inside, and have a wide range of uses: healing, cultivating the physical body, refining pills, raising insects, setting up arrays, refining talismans...

Low-grade blood crystals generally cost one thousand Spring-Surging Coins each.

Mid-grade blood crystals cost ten thousand Spring-Surging Coins each and already possess the ability to store magic power. Placing them in a Heavenly Law Earth Spring allows them to automatically absorb magic power.

High-grade blood crystals cost one hundred thousand Spring-Surging Coins each and are treasures for Dao Seed realm Wu Xiu to cultivate their physical bodies, containing pure magic power inside. Placing them in a Heavenly Law Earth Spring to nourish them allows them to become full again faster than mid-grade blood crystals and store more magic power.

Driving the array with high-grade blood crystals is the most stable.

As for top-grade blood crystals, they are even rarer and are things that Longevity realm giants have to search everywhere for. Not only can they refine the body, but legend has it that they contain vast life Qi inside, which can extend longevity.

Li Youyi extended a hand and asked for them: "Five high-grade blood crystals are worth five hundred thousand Spring-Surging Coins."

"Who carries so many Spring-Surging Coins on them for no reason? You, a dignified Divine Hidden Person of the Nine Li Hidden Sect, don't have five hundred thousand Spring-Surging Coins? Advance it for me first, and I will pay you back when we get out," Tang Wanzhou said.

Li Youyi said: "You must have Dao Lotuses and Dao Fruits, right?"

"None! I left them on the ground before coming in," Tang Wanzhou said.

Li Youyi’s heart stirred, and he suddenly thought of something, asking: "How many drops of spring liquid can a Longevity realm giant condense in a day?"

Tang Wanzhou glared at him with her almond eyes and was so angry she laughed; she was the Young Monarch of the Northern Territory, famous throughout the world, suppressing her generation. Now she was reduced to the point of condensing spring liquid to exchange for money?

If this got out, wouldn't her reputation be ruined?

Li Youyi hurriedly explained: "The Young Monarch is always generous and spends money like water; I shouldn't have haggled with you over five hundred thousand Spring-Surging Coins. But I have to raise those seven strange insects, which is a huge expense, and mental power cultivation is also an endless account..."

Tang Wanzhou stared at him for a moment, then suddenly realized: "You are afraid to buy spring liquid in large quantities in the Twin Rice Sect, right?"

Li Youyi hurriedly denied: "No."

Tang Wanzhou didn't want to waste more words with Li Youyi, feeling that meeting him was a financial loss, but at least it blocked disaster, and asked: "How much spring liquid do you need?"

"Five hundred thousand Spring-Surging Coins, how could I need to sell fifty thousand drops of spring liquid," Li Youyi said.

Tang Wanzhou’s willow eyebrows furrowed, truly speechless: "I will give you ten thousand drops every month."

"A Longevity realm giant is indeed different, much faster than a Dao Seed realm Wu Xiu. You don't even have to take risks; just selling spring liquid, you can earn over a million Spring-Surging Coins a year," Li Youyi sighed.

With his current quenching speed, with the help of the Fusang Divine Tree and the Cocoon of Time, he could quench ten thousand strands of magic power in a month.

Moreover, the thirty thousand strands of magic power added to his seventh sea now required three months of quenching. Tang Wanzhou’s provision was completely sufficient and wouldn't delay his cultivation.

"The Young Monarch must not leave this place again," Li Youyi warned when he left.

Such a big thing happened at the General Altar; he didn't know when An Xianjing and Yao Qingxuan would return.

If three female Longevity experts collided, not to mention Li Youyi’s current cultivation, even if he reached the Longevity realm, he definitely wouldn't be able to handle it.

Li Youyi released Qi Xiao and Tuoba Butuo from the insect bag and carried them to the bed one by one.

The insect bag can indeed hold people, but it also has considerable danger. Once the insect bag breaks during a fight, no matter how high the cultivation of the people inside, they could die from the spatial power.

Unless it is a last resort, it is generally not used to hold living people.

Li Youyi has the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish and the Evil Camel Bell on him; if he really encounters danger, he can use them to hold the seven little ones.

"Bang! Bang!"

Li Youyi held a blood crystal in each hand, placed them on the heads of Qi Xiao and Tuoba Butuo, and crushed them. Immediately, vast blood Qi permeated out, and under the traction of mental power, it surged into their withered bodies.

As strands of blood Qi surged in, their gaunt bodies, like balloons, slowly supported themselves.

Half an hour later, the blood Qi of the two blood crystals had completely surged in.

Their condition looked slightly better, but they were still far from recovery.

Li Youyi dared not inject more blood Qi; he had to proceed step by step.

Qi Xiao and Tuoba Butuo fell into a deep sleep; having suffered severe trauma to both body and mind over the past period, only now could they finally sleep peacefully.

Li Youyi really couldn't hold on anymore; he held onto the door frame and sat down slowly outside the door, circulating his magic power to heal his injuries.

Five days passed in a row.

Besides healing himself, Li Youyi used two blood crystals every day to help Qi Xiao and Tuoba Butuo recover their blood Qi.

Gradually.

From the outside, except for each missing an arm, the two had completely recovered.

But the blood lost by a Dao Seed realm Wu Xiu, how could it be made up for by the blood Qi contained in mid-grade blood crystals?

They needed long-term recuperation to truly recover.

After waking up, the two immediately knelt and kowtowed to Li Youyi, but were helped up in advance.

"Don't! Old Qi, I feel very guilty!" Li Youyi said.

Qi Xiao waved his only arm and smiled bitterly: "I blame myself for being too arrogant; I shouldn't have been so reckless. Actually, it was just that after breaking through to the Dao Seed realm, my heart was too inflated, and I deserved this tribulation."

"Wang Shu is already dead, which counts as avenging you," Li Youyi said.

Qi Xiao and Tuoba Butuo were moved, their gratitude beyond words.

They knew that Wang Shu was the Fourth Divine Son of the Twin Rice Sect; to kill a Divine Son in someone else’s General Altar and still be able to live leisurely... they didn't know how Li Youyi did it, but they admired him to the point of prostration.

He could even thrive in a heretical sect.

The two ignored Li Youyi’s obstruction and saluted again: "Brother Youyi, if you have any orders in the future, we will die without regret."

He finally persuaded them to get up.

Li Youyi took out the cold jade box containing the two arms from his boundary bag: "The activity, trace veins, and spring eyes of the two arms are still there; they should be able to be reattached."

The situation of Li Songlin and Yin Jiu was completely different from theirs; their severed limbs had already been damaged in battle.

"Brother Youyi is thoughtful!"

Tuoba Butuo shook his head gently and said: "But to reattach severed limbs, at least a Great Longevity expert must step in; that level of figure has already broken multiple longevity locks, can see through all the fine textures in the human body at a glance, has a unique understanding of life, and can perform extraordinary techniques to reattach trace veins and meridians."

Qi Xiao said: "If we were outside, there would be some hope, but in the General Altar... is our current safety not also hanging by a thread?"

Tuoba Butuo pondered for a moment: "Brother Youyi, we will remember your kindness for the rest of our lives, but if it is truly impossible, just hand us over."

"Amitabha!"

A beautiful and elegant Buddhist chant sounded below the pavilion.

Li Youyi’s expression changed slightly, and he ordered: "You two heal your injuries first, I will be back soon."

He walked down the stairs quickly, and by the bamboo forest outside the pavilion, Li Youyi saw An Xianjing in white.

Her appearance had changed a lot, but the temperament on her body was still elegant and quiet, recognizable at a glance.

An Xianjing looked at him: "I went to see the Golden Rice; it is growing very well, and you have made a great contribution. But for at least eight or nine days, you haven't gone to shine on it or take care of it, and the blood Qi in the field has become very thin. Why?"

Li Youyi took out the green jade array talisman and handed it over with both hands: "Please, Hall Master, find someone else; I can't raise this Golden Rice anymore!"

An Xianjing rolled her prayer beads with her fingers, her eyes gradually becoming sharp: "How? Threatening me? Do you think that because I cultivate Buddhism, my heart is only full of compassion and I am easy to handle?"

"Junior wouldn't dare, it’s just that I am too seriously injured and need to recuperate for a while," Li Youyi said.

An Xianjing said: "You are complaining? You are simply lawless; in the General Altar, you dared to kill a Divine Son; do you know how big a crime this is?"

Li Youyi said: "Wang Shu harmed many fellow disciples..."

"You don't need to repeat it again! Your Master has already organized all of Wang Shu’s crimes and submitted them to the Kurong Hall, and helped you take the blame, claiming that she ordered you to clean up internal troubles and that you were executing a mission. After all, counting it up, Wang Shu belongs to the Southern Territory Wu Xiu and is under her banner."

An Xianjing snorted lightly: "Now that the mission is complete, you can even go to the Linggu Hall to claim forty thousand merit points."

"Ah?"

Li Youyi felt that Yao Qingxuan’s operation was truly brilliant beyond words.

"Ah what? Your Master is under immense pressure, the situation in the Southern Territory is quite dangerous and complex, and she still has to be distracted to help you; you must remember this favor yourself!" An Xianjing said.

Li Youyi hurriedly suppressed the corner of his mouth and said worriedly: "The favor of the Master naturally must be repaid. But, that Vice Hall Master of the Heavenly Principle Hall definitely won't let it go; the Master doing this is equivalent to offending him to death. Hall Master, that day I was forced to report your name, but it was of no use; the patrol guards of the Heavenly Principle Hall didn't buy it at all."

A cold light flashed in An Xianjing’s eyes: "I have already been to the Heavenly Principle Hall and the Kurong Hall once; those who needed to be beaten have already been beaten. In the General Altar, figures of the Great Disciple level will no longer target you. But you must understand that in the cultivation world, you must always rely on your own hard strength; otherwise, there will be many hidden arrows in dark corners, impossible to guard against."

"Not only you, everyone is like this, including me and your Master."

Li Youyi said: "I will follow the Hall Master’s teachings... Has the Hall Master returned to the Linggu Hall?"

An Xianjing thought of her second disciple and couldn't help but sigh: "He has already been sent by me to train outside the General Altar; he has extremely high talent, but his temperament is insufficient, lacking tempering."

Li Youyi sighed.

"Do you think I am shielding him?" An Xianjing saw Li Youyi’s thoughts.

Li Youyi said: "After all, he is your own disciple; that is the true flesh and blood."

An Xianjing said: "For him, being expelled from the General Altar by me is equivalent to losing a huge amount of face, more uncomfortable than any punishment. And you? Have you been punished? Are you really not wrong? Should I take the two people upstairs back to the Divine Prison?"

Li Youyi hurriedly smiled: "That the Hall Master can say this clearly means you are going to spare the two of them. Great, the Hall Master truly has a Bodhisattva heart."

No matter what An Xianjing’s true thoughts were, he had to praise her first.

An Xianjing said: "Tuoba Butuo and Qi Xiao are both Dragon Seed Dao plantings; they are talents who can grow into first-class experts in a few years. Among them, Tuoba Butuo is even a successor, his talent comparable to Divine Sons and Divine Daughters."

"The Divine Sect has always been tolerant of talents that can be used."

"Li Youyi, if you can subdue them under your command and guarantee their loyalty, why would I abandon two heaven-gifted prodigies?"

Li Youyi knew that what An Xianjing valued were also the Qi family behind Qi Xiao and the Tuoba clan behind Tuoba Butuo, but now he couldn't afford to be picky and had to agree.

He said: "Since the Hall Master thinks so highly of them, why not do a small favor first?"

"No rush! I heard that you cultivated the first level of the Six-Like Burning Karma Art to completion; use it, let me see first." An Xianjing was most curious about this, after all, she knew that Li Youyi only started contacting martial Dao two years ago.

How could there be ten years of time to cultivate the first level of the Six-Like Burning Karma Art?
