Chapter 169: Using Oneself as Bait

"This brat is too hateful! Once I get in, I must kill him!" Chang Hao cursed angrily.

After a while, Ye Liuyun and Lei Ming came back again, continuing to dig another plot of land.

"Ye Liuyun, there's so much medicinal herbs, you can't use them all yourself; why not let us also go in and take some?" a disciple shouted at Ye Liuyun.

"If I can't use them all, I can sell them!" Ye Liuyun laughed, but his hands didn't stop moving.

"Ye Liuyun, we're all from the same sect; we should look out for each other. But you won't even eat meat yourself, leaving not a drop of broth for us?" Chang Hao switched tactics, trying to persuade Ye Liuyun with moral blackmail.

Who knew Ye Liuyun simply replied: "Who are you? I don't know you!"

"You..." Ye Liuyun was impervious; there was nothing he could do about Ye Liuyun.

"Ye Liuyun, we're all elites of the inner sect; offend us and you'll have no good days ahead!" another person threatened.

"What elites? You're a bunch of trash!" Ye Liuyun said disdainfully, then he and Lei Ming transported the large patch of dug-up medicinal field back.

"Damn it! This brat is too arrogant! Let's keep breaking the formation, charge in and kill him!" someone suggested.

"Not bad, this formation will break soon enough! Let's put in extra effort, ignore this brat; once we're in, those herbs he picked will still be ours!"

These people exchanged a knowing smile and then began attacking the formation with even greater vigor.

Ye Liuyun didn't even look at them, moving the medicinal herbs batch by batch. After finishing, he took out the toad's corpse and began studying it.

He didn't plan to leave immediately; he intended to kill them here to prevent them from leaking news. So he sat down on a hill where Chang Hao and the others could see him.

Taking advantage of their time attacking the formation, he studied the toad's corpse to see what the Ten Thousand Gods Command's instructions meant.

Although Qiong Qi was far away, after communicating with Ye Liuyun, he immediately said: "It should be those golden eyes. If you refine them, isn't it just right to strengthen your Illusion Pupil?"

Thus Ye Liuyun dug out the toad's golden eyes and began refining them.

At the same time, he multitasked, also digging out the toad's poison sac. It contained blood poison, which could be refined and added to Lei Ming's dagger.

Next, he took out the blood-colored crystal ball, collecting the remaining bloodline power of the toad. Then he set it on fire, burning the toad to ashes.

Next, he took out the Rivers and Mountains Cauldron, began refining the toad's poison sac, then infused the blood poison into Lei Ming's dagger.

Seeing Ye Liuyun not leave and still daring to mess with them right in front of them, Chang Hao's group became furious all over and attacked the formation with even greater effort.

After an hour, Lei Ming's dagger refinement was complete.

Now Lei Ming's dagger can not only wound the soul, it also carries blood poison. This blood poison is not ordinary; it can be said that those struck die instantly.

Lei Ming played with it excitedly for a while, but lacking a test subject, she could only put it away for now.

"Don't rush; when those idiots come in later, I'll wound two of them to give you a test subject." Ye Liuyun comforted her.

Next, Ye Liuyun fell silent; the refinement of his golden eyes had reached a critical moment, beginning to merge bit by bit with his own eyes.

Ye Liuyun's eyes could no longer open; blood trickled from the corners, and his whole body ached so much he trembled.

But he already felt that even that tiny bit of fusion had greatly strengthened his Illusion Pupil. So no matter how painful, he would endure to complete the merging process.

The Ten Thousand Gods Command in his Sea of Consciousness would awaken his soul whenever he felt pain so intense he was about to faint, keeping him conscious.

Qiong Qi's Divine Sense was instead keeping watch on Chang Hao's group.

"Haha, that brat must have gone mad from cultivation!" Seeing Ye Liuyun's eyes bleeding, Chang Hao's group couldn't help but feel delighted.

They all knew Ye Liuyun's eyes could cast illusion techniques. Looking at him now, it seemed his eyes had been ruined!

"Ruined is even better; we'll have an easier time dealing with him later! Without eyes, this brat can't even run away now!" Chang Hao also smiled with relief.

This Ye Liuyun actually dared to toy with him. He today would personally pluck his head!

Thus, his gang also stopped rushing, slowing their attack on the formation.

After a while, Ye Liuyun finally completed the fusion of his golden eyes. He no longer needs to open his eyes; by closing his eyelids and using the Illusion Eye Technique, he can see the outside situation.

Even distant trees, he can see straight through.

Previously, his clairvoyance function at most let him see through six or seven such large trees; now he can instantly see through all trees within a Chinese mile.

Moreover, this is just the effect of his recent fusion; after he adapts, this clairvoyance ability will further increase.

He didn't rush to open his eyes; instead he took a Healing Spirit-Congealing Pill to let his soul recover, then ate a Healing Elixir to speed his eyes' adaptation and repair.

At the same time, seeing that Chang Hao's group still hadn't broken the formation, he took out the Purple Qilin Snake, first thrusting with the Heavenly Demon Spear with full force. He found the spear only made a white dot, not piercing through.

The Heavenly Demon Spear, a top-tier Heaven Tier weapon he snatched from a Xuemo Sect disciple, couldn't even pierce the Purple Qilin, showing this beast is absolutely excellent material for forging armor.

Thus he put away the Heavenly Demon Spear, took out the Demon Slaying Sword, sliced open the snake's belly, collected the scales for armor-making. The gallbladder was dug out, cut into three parts, one each for Lei Ming, Qiong Qi, and himself, and eaten directly!

He also sliced some snake meat, roasted it. The remaining snake meat he stored away.

That Purple Qilin Snake was too big; they couldn't finish it in one meal.

Outside the formation, Chang Hao's group saw Ye Liuyun producing so many treasures, their eyes greedily widened. They began arguing over who should get which items.

In the end, Chang Hao called a halt: "Take the loot, everyone splits it evenly. We must not fight among ourselves."

Since his cultivation level is the highest here, no one dared oppose his opinion. Moreover, he didn't say to take more, so naturally others had no objections.

Ye Liuyun finished roasting the meat, had Lei Ming send some to Qiong Qi, then enjoyed a hearty meal himself.

After eating, he simply lay down on the grass to rest.

He still muttered: "These people are too slow! If they don't break the formation soon, they'll delay my schedule."

Qiong Qi whispered from afar: "It should be soon; in less than half an hour, the formation will break."

"When that happens, you must keep watch on them, not letting a single one escape."

Having said that, Ye Liuyun began to close his eyes and nurture his spirit, preparing to test the power of his golden Illusion Pupil later.

Qiong Qi, however, laughed: "Rest assured, this formation is double-sided. Even after they get in, to get out they'll need to break it again just like this."

"Uh... haha, this bunch of idiots are doomed this time! They don't even wonder why I dare wait here for them." Ye Liuyun laughed.

"People die for wealth—this is normal! Who isn't greedy? Speaking of which, you brat are even greedier than them." Qiong Qi chatted with Ye Liuyun: "But you're far more cautious than they are."

"Hmm. You reminded me: one mistake could cost my life! From now on, when I'm greedy, I must be extra careful." Ye Liuyun said solemnly.
