Ever since Xiu Xiang returned to Beihuai City, he vanished completely. Perhaps the humiliation from the other rchant Master was too great, and he is now busying himself with matters of revenge. However, from the lack of news in the past few days, it seems that Xiu Xiang’s revenge is not going smoothly.
If everything had gone smoothly, Xiu Xiang would have already returned with his enemy’s head to throw a banquet.
Nevertheless, Li Yi did not inquire too much about this matter. He simply focused on his own cultivation in his courtyard. With the daily intake of fine at, the Divine Blood within his body grew increasingly abundant, and his overall power was further enhanced.
Previously, he rely possessed the strength of one dragon and one tiger, but now he had the strength of one dragon and two tigers.
The last twelve acupoints of the Five Qi Realm were also half-filled, which ant his mana had beco even more powerful and profound.
"Within at most two months, I will beco a part of the Divine Blood Lineage and have the opportunity to awaken Divine Arts. At the sa ti, I will also reach the pinnacle of the Five Qi Realm," Li Yi mused to himself. He needed to stay in the Barbaric World for at least two more months.
The ti was not long; it could even be considered quite short.
After all, in this world without the support of Incense Fire Belief Power, to have such a speed of progress was already quite impressive.
"Master, I’ve heard from a landlord in Beihuai City that a nearby rchant Master, upon hearing that you are a Divine Blood Warrior, is willing to sell the mansion for only a hundred gold."
At this mont, Shanguo stepped into the chamber with her slender legs, her steps swift. She bowed her head towards Li Yi, who was sitting atop Xiangyun, and relayed the information she had obtained.
During the ti Li Yi was cultivating, Shanguo, who had previously beco a wounded slave, had regained her warrior’s stature and so of her forr confidence after treatnt and recuperation.
Yet, in front of Li Yi, Shanguo still appeared so respectful.
"One mansion won’t satisfy future needs. Are there any other mansions nearby for sale? If they’re willing, buy them together. Gold is not an issue," Li Yi said, opening his eyes and tossing Shanguo ten pieces of Red Gold.
Ten pieces of Red Gold were worth a thousand gold, more than enough to buy two mansions in Beihuai City.
Shanguo promptly replied upon receiving the gold, "Master, I will go inquire more."
"Go," Li Yi instructed.
Shanguo bowed once more before turning to leave.
"E Ji, how’s your study of the High Priest’s script coming along?" Li Yi then inquired of soone nearby.
At that mont, E Ji was kneeling in front of a desk, a Jade Scroll in hand, frowning as she laboriously read. Every word was difficult and obscure, requiring her to completely grasp the aning of each one.
She was also learning new scripts, but unlike an Evolver’s photographic mory, her progress was not fast.
The text Li Yi wanted them to learn was the script of the Xuanxian Continent, intending to pass on the Cultivation thod.
On Earth, the Cultivation thods were so common that they were no longer treasures. With the Barbaric World and Earth now connected, it was only a matter of ti before other Earth People crossed over.
Given this, Li Yi thought it best to lay a solid foundation for those around him, having them learn cultivation first, so at least they wouldn’t fall behind others.
In reality, the people of the Barbaric World had astonishing physiques and imnse potential. What truly suited them was not the Cultivation Technique but the Martial Arts Skill. However, the martial arts Li Yi mastered were too weak, providing limited enhancent to their strength. Cultivation only wasted ti and couldn’t compare to the Cultivation Technique.
But to learn the Cultivation Technique, the first step was to master the characters of the Xuanxian World. During this period, Li Yi was teaching them this script.
"Master, the High Priest has finished learning the script yesterday. My intellect is not as sharp as the High Priest’s, and I have not yet mastered it," E Ji said with so embarrassnt.
"It seems the High Priest’s Soul Power is quite strong," Li Yi replied calmly. "This has nothing to do with intelligence; don’t be pressured. Learn well, mastering the script is only the first step to becoming powerful in the future."
"Master, can I also beco a warrior?" E Ji asked, sowhat surprised.
"Not a warrior, but to wield the power only a High Priest can have," Li Yi replied. "And this power will let you surpass many High Priests."
E Ji was pleasantly surprised by this.
She did not expect that the new script contained such an incredible power that would allow soone like her, without potential as a High Priest, to wield the power of a High Priest.
"Master, I will definitely learn this script as soon as possible, and in the future, I will also fight for you," E Ji declared readily.
Li Yi nodded slightly, encouraging her.
A mont later.
Shanguo, who had left in haste earlier, returned once again with a smile on her face, "Master, more good news. That rchant Master is willing to sell the adjacent two mansions on each side, asking for only three hundred gold in total."
"Oh, all those mansions belong to that rchant Master? It seems that rchant Master is quite extensive," Li Yi remarked. "To sell to with such decisiveness, are there any conditions?"
The opponent was a rchant Master, certainly not doing a losing trade; this he could be sure of.
Shanguo replied, "That rchant Master wishes to et you."
"et ?" Li Yi’s expression changed slightly and, after a mont of pondering, he nodded and said, "Alright, since this rchant Master is so sincere, I, as the master, should naturally et with him."
"Let’s go, take to find that rchant Master."
"Yes," Shanguo replied promptly.
Very soon.
The two walked out of Xiu Xiang’s house.
The rchant Master who intended to sell the three mansions lived not far away, and the buildings along the road were all in ruin, as if struck by an earthquake. Li Yi knew this destruction was caused by his earlier clash with the Divine Blood Warrior Dong Chong.
However, the rchant Master nad Lie Hou had already compensated for the damages.
Yet many people, after receiving compensation, did not rush to repair their hos.
Soon.
In front of another damaged mansion, Li Yi t the rchant Master.
It was a woman, appearing to be around thirty, her figure voluptuous yet dignified, with a beautiful face marked by a blue streak, resembling a totem or a symbol of status.
Beside her stood several warriors of considerable strength, ard with large blades and axes, ensuring the lady’s safety.
Upon seeing Li Yi approach, the woman sized him up.
Her eyes slightly widened.
She saw that Xiu Xiang’s esteed guest was very young, with an outstanding appearance, brimming with Divine Blood aura, silver lightning dancing around him, as if draped in heavenly clouds, enveloped in a five-colored halo, exuding imnse power capable of easily shaking the mountains and rivers.
"Truly a young Divine Blood Warrior with boundless potential and strength. It won’t be long before he becos a ruler," the woman marveled in her heart.
No wonder Xiu Xiang seed crazy whenever he ntioned this person to other rchant Masters. Even she had heard of him, yet only now did she see him in person and understood that Xiu Xiang’s obsession was justified.
With the future ruler right before their eyes, which rchant Master could restrain their inner excitent?
rchant Lord Lie Hou’s jealousy and desire to kill him were also understandable.
After all, Lie Hou and Xiu Xiang had been competing for benefits for a long ti. How could he allow Xiu Xiang’s esteed guest to beco a ruler and surpass him?
"I am rchant Lady Nu Heng. You must be Da Yi. I’ve heard your na and witnessed your battle with another Divine Blood Warrior that night. That battle nearly demolished the entire area. Your power truly amazed ."
The rchant nad Nu Heng smiled.
"I am Da Yi. I’ve heard from my aide that you wanted to see before selling these three mansions to ?" Li Yi asked, "I am here now. Do you have any other requirents, rchant Master?"
He remained neutral, unwilling to make too many acquaintances in Beihuai City.
Nu Heng said, "Originally, I didn’t intend to sell the mansions. But after hearing your na, I was willing to sell one mansion for one hundred gold. Now, after seeing you, I am prepared to give all three mansions to you as a gift and hope you will accept this gift."
She spoke with utmost sincerity.
"In my holand, there’s a saying: If soone offers you a gift without expecting anything in return, they seek greater gain. You are a rchant Master and wouldn’t do a losing trade. So, I prefer to spend large sums to buy these three mansions from you," Li Yi said.
Nu Heng was sowhat surprised but quickly regained her composure and sighed, "Da Yi, your holand must have a wise elder who understands human nature. Can I ask what you think is the most precious thing in this world, Da Yi?"
"Certainly, it’s life," Li Yi said, "Nothing is more precious than life."
"Indeed, life is the most precious thing in this world. If one day you beco a ruler, could you protect , this rchant Master?" Nu Heng asked.
Li Yi said, "I may not beco a ruler."
"Then, I would only have lost three mansions," Nu Heng laughed.
"I see," Li Yi stated, "If I ever beco a ruler, I will protect you, but only once."
He didn’t mind making a vague promise.
After all, he might not stay long in the Barbaric World.
Trades always have gains and losses.
"Thank you for your generosity, Da Yi. From now on, you are the master of these places." rchant Lady Nu Heng smiled as she slowly approached Li Yi, handing over three beast skin scrolls.
They bore special markings and textual records concerning the ownership of these houses.
Li Yi understood that in this world, these were the property deeds; whoever held them owned the houses.
There was no concept of property transfer.
Li Yi accepted them unabashedly, "I hope your future is full of rewards."
"eting a warrior like you, Da Yi, is my greatest reward," rchant Lady Nu Heng said, "I hope my actions today won’t anger Xiu Xiang. However, his recent revenge has not been going smoothly. If you need help, please seek out. I live next door to you, Da Yi."
"..." Li Yi looked up.
Unexpectedly, another residential area was also this rchant Master’s.
With so many properties, she must be a property investor in Beihuai City.
After speaking, rchant Lady Nu Heng did not continue the conversation but left with a cheerful smile, evidently in a very good mood.
