"Ah-choo~~"
Ling Yi, who was walking far away from the river, suddenly sneezed.
He looked at his arm with some shock and realized that although he was not wearing much clothing, it was not too little either.
Moreover, at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Realm, although he cannot be invulnerable to all poisons, he should not be afraid of cold and heat, so why would he still sneeze?
''Could it be that Shiyun misses me?''
As soon as the thought occurred, Ling Yi shook his head with a bitter smile.
''She definitely hates me to the bone right now, if she missed me, Lin Daiyu would be able to pull down a willow.''
Ling Yi does not think much about this matter, instead, he frowns and stares at the river as he continues to walk forward.
When he left that pool in Chuzhou, he had two things in mind when he returned to Jiangzhou, the first was to see Xiao Xiao, and the second was to see this big river.
But there were so many people during the day that he couldn't do it well, so he had to wait until the evening.
So when he walked around the jade shop, and now when he went for a walk, he deliberately slowed down his speed to wait until it was dark and there were fewer people.
And there were two reasons why this big river was so important.
One was that the night Xiao Xiao was discharged from the hospital, his house was broken into and vandalized, causing Qi Shiyun to divorce him, but Qin Jianye didn't want to admit that it was her family's fault in any way. This meant that there was someone hiding in the shadows who wanted his family;
Second, when he was in the pool, the small boat that had once spied on him on this river reappeared.
If it was just one of them, Ling Yi wouldn't even be this nervous, but when these two things overlapped, Ling Yi felt that it was a bit strange.
Especially the one on the small boat, according to Lin Wanrou's and their descriptions, is a moving treasure trove of martial arts. It could ignore realms and allow the person who found it to advance two small realms in addition to the original.
If this was in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, it would be too common, let alone two minor realms, even twenty minor realms would be rare.
But this was on the Blue Star, in a world where Immortal Cultivators no longer existed, to reach such a level would be too terrifying.
If this person wanted to harm Xiao Xiao, the level of danger was far beyond the Qin family, and even far beyond Yuan Tiangang by tens and hundreds of times.
Therefore, Ling Yi desperately wants to know the identity of the other party so that he can prevent it in advance.
Back in the pool, he was only at the fourth level of qi refinement, he could not catch up with the other party, and some means could not be used, so he could only retreat first.
But now it was different, he had already reached the fifth level of qi refinement, he should be able to cast the divine ability 'Mirage'.
And in order to cast 'Mirage', one needs to be in a place where the other party has appeared, this big river is the best place to cast the spell.
Ling Yi goes up the river and walks all the way to the Moonwatch Tower before stopping.
At this time, the night is deep and quiet, the Moonwatch Tower has long been empty.
Just to see Ling Yi rise and fall a few times, and then arrive at the top of the Moonwatch Tower.
If someone were to see him at that moment, they would definitely find that under the bright moon, at the top of the ancient building, a person is standing against the wind, which is extremely dashing and extraordinary.
Standing at the top of the building, Ling Yi performs the gong method, mobilizes the spirit qi in the body, and then performs the "mirage" magic ability, just for a moment, the original clear and empty river surface, suddenly out of thin air, floating out of the array of clouds and mist.
And among the clouds, a translucent boat slowly sailed in from one end, and finally stayed in the middle of the clouds.
The various scenes in the boat at that moment were exactly the various passages of that small boat under the Moonwatch Tower that day.
''There are two people in the boat?
This was beyond Ling Yi's expectation, because both times he encountered that small boat, he only felt a gaze staring at him, so he had always thought that there was only one person in that boat.
"Looking at the shape, it should be an old and a young, a man and a woman.
Otherwise, no matter how hard Ling Yi tried, he could not make that small boat any clearer.
As for himself, due to his forced execution of 'Mirage', the qi and blood in his chest rolled over, and a trace of bright red actually flowed out along the corner of his mouth.
''Really, it's still too forced?''
With a wave of Ling Yi's hand, the clouds and mist above the great river instantly dissipated, and the river regained its clear and empty surface.
As for Ling Yi, he jumped down from the Moonwatch Tower and leaned against the railing by the river, pondering.
''Not anchoring a boat, but standing still out of thin air, that old man's strength doesn't seem to be low.
Especially since the last wave of his hand changed the trajectory of Xie Chuan's smashing line, he's most likely a martial arts master.
''To have that kind of strength and still not make a move against me, but to watch with cold eyes, I think he shouldn't be an enemy.''
Unfortunately, even the body shape is blurred, can only distinguish between men and women, what looks like is actually completely unknown.
"Unfortunately, ... still have to improve my cultivation as soon as possible."
With a sigh, Ling Yi turns around and walks towards the Star Picking Building.
The prerequisite for casting the Mirage was that Ling Yi had to be present and see it with his own eyes.
As a result, he would not be able to find out who the group of people who broke into his house and smashed it were by casting Mirage.
Of course, at his current level of cultivation, even if he was there and saw it with his own eyes, he wouldn't be able to see the other person's face. ---- But on the other hand, if he was really there at that time, it doesn't matter whether he could see the other person's face clearly or not.
Returning to the Star Picking Building, Ling Yi saw a pile of gold bricks piled up in the living room and roughly counted them, about a hundred or so.
It must be said that Han Ruoxue, this girl's efficiency is really high.
Although the country doesn't prohibit the purchase of gold bricks, buying so many at once will definitely make certain departments notice.
If it wasn't Han Ruoxue, but Ling Yi himself who went to buy it, he would most likely still have to go through some checks.
Since the gold bricks have already arrived, Ling Yi is not idle either, after loading all the gold bricks into his storage ring, he measures the suitable place in the courtyard to set up a Spirit Escapement Formation.
With more than a hundred gold bricks, it is definitely unrealistic to set up a large Spirit Escapement Formation, and he did not buy a lot of jade, so after weighing the situation, Ling Yi only set up a Spirit Escapement Formation the size of half a basketball court.
After the formation was set up and activated, Ling Yi sat inside to cultivate the Heaven Swallowing Record, and has been speechless all night since. ...
------
Three days later.
The jade that Ling Yi had spent nearly thirty million dollars to buy finally couldn't support it, and after a crisp 'click', they all broke apart.
The more than one hundred gold bricks bought for fifty million dollars are not much better, they have already been eroded by the Grand Formation and there is not much left, it is estimated that they can last for another day and a half at most.
"This is only the fifth level of the Qi Refining realm, cultivating for one day will consume nearly twenty million gold, stone, and jade strands, so how much will it cost if you want to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm?"
Ling Yi didn't dare to make a detailed calculation and could only console himself by saying, "It's a good thing that the harvest in these three days is not small, otherwise he would really have to jump and curse the heavens.
He has spent those three days downstairs, living in deep simplicity every day, either cultivating or forging those two jade pendants.
Under the blessing of the Spirit Escapement Formation, the current him, he had already reached the fifth level of the Qi Refining Realm, and he was only a foot away from the threshold to enter the sixth level of the Qi Refining Realm.
Even though he had spent over sixty million dollars, it was worth it.
In addition, over the past few days, Ling Yi had also used the Spirit Escapement Formation and very patiently engraved an entry-level body protection formation on the two jade pendants. ---- In a moment of crisis, this jade pendant can block the full force of a half-step Sovereign Master's blow, which is equivalent to being able to block three bullets.
Compared to cultivation, this matter is more central to Ling Yi.
After all, there is still an enemy behind the scenes who doesn't know where he's hiding and is waiting for an opportunity to move, and relying only on Wu Qian and those Han family bodyguards, Ling Yi feels that it's far from enough.
And with those two jade pendants, when the jade pendant blocked the first bullet, no matter how far away it was, Ling Yi could feel it.
If it were not for the rank of the jade pendants, Ling Yi would have wanted to carve a high-level protective formation on the jade pendants, in which case, even if it was a grandmaster's full power strike, he would be able to carry it off with ease.
Although the high-level protective formation cannot be carved, but Ling Yi also did not give up, but in the two jade pendants added a lot of talismans ---- what gathering spirit talisman, fixed spirit talisman, sleeping talisman, clearing the heart talisman ... all added until the jade pendant can not withstand the impending burst, Ling Yi just stopped drawing talismans in the void.
Seals and formations can sometimes have the same effect, but seals are used once and then gone, while formations can be used continuously.
Therefore, the pressure that the talisman seal exerts on the jade is much less than the pressure that the formation exerts on the jade.
Adding talisman seals to a jade stone when one cannot carve a formation is a very common thing in the Immortal Cultivation World.
Just as Ling Yi was thinking about how to give the jade pendant to Qi Shiyun, Han Ruoxue's phone call came in, "Ling Yi, in three days, the Donghong Group will be holding a charity exhibition at the Qinhuang Hotel, and I think you should be very interested in it."
"You're sure?"
"For sure." Han Ruoxue said confidently, "Because I've heard that they're going to display an excellent piece of beautiful jade at that time!"
