The Primordial Law

Chapter 275 Saving people is more profitable than killing them

The martial arts practitioners of Zuoqiu Sect did not find Zuoqiu Qingying, but they did find a large amount of her blood in a field. It was obvious that she was in grave danger.

Their murderous aura was overwhelming. Thirty Tiger Camel Army experts formed a hundred-character battle formation, surrounding the four members of the Fourth Divine Son.

A battle ensued.

In the midst of battle, a bearded Dao Seed Realm commander summoned a sixth-grade magic artifact inscribed with a hundred characters of scripture, the "Compass."

Thirty Tiger Camel Army experts each unleashed a beam of magical energy, and instantly, the compass rose into the air, transforming into the size of a millstone, releasing scorching light, and spinning outwards, crushing the external manifestation of the Dao Heart supported by the Fourth Divine Son inch by inch.

Knowing the power of the battle formation, the Fourth Divine Son's expression changed drastically. He retreated rapidly, releasing a staff-shaped magic weapon from the ancestral field while also summoning Wang Zhi.

Although Wang Zhi is dead, the spirit within him is extremely powerful, and is the Fourth Divine Child's strongest trump card.

On the surface, Wang Zhi appeared no different from a normal person, but he unleashed an unpredictable speed, bypassing the compass, spreading his claws, tearing through the array's light barrier, and charging into the battle formation.

His combat strength is far greater than that of the Fourth Divine Son.

Screams of agony echoed through the battlefield.

The Tiger Camel Army's experts were either knocked away by Wang Zhi or directly killed with a palm strike; it was practically a massacre.

Li Weiyi used a disguise technique to emerge from underground. With a wave of his arm, he released a thick cloud of magical energy from his palm, which enveloped the coffin placed on the ground.

Then, he activated the governor's robe again, which transformed into a cloud of purple mist and disappeared from the spot.

The whole process happened in the blink of an eye.

Several dozen feet away, the Fourth Divine Son saw the purple mist and sensed the spatial fluctuations, but he was unable to escape and could only watch helplessly as the other party snatched the coffin and fled.

At the same time, he was very wary, fearing that the other party was an elder of the Jiuli Hidden Sect.

……

The habitat of the trumpet creeper has two worlds.

One is the surface world, and the other is the underground world.

On the surface world, humans, demons, strange beasts, cursed monsters, the dead... all kinds of races compete freely, and each era has its own overlord and form of civilization.

The underground world is generally hundreds of meters below ground, with some reaching depths of tens of thousands of meters. Here, rivers of blood of all sizes flow eternally, crisscrossing and fraught with countless dangers.

On the surface, each area is clearly defined, and underground, there are also forbidden zones and overlords.

Many of these places are Zerg nests, and if you disturb them, even if you escape back to the surface, you will be hunted down by the swarm.

The underground is dangerous, but it often becomes the best escape route for those who have nowhere else to turn.

Li Weiyi carried the coffin on his shoulder, stepped on clouds of magical energy, and ran wildly across an underground blood river about two hundred meters above the ground, each step covering several meters.

The eldest phoenix led the way, while the second phoenix brought up the rear.

Their feathers and membranous wings fluttered together, radiating brilliant light.

Li Weiyi didn't believe that escaping underground would guarantee safety. For martial cultivators at the Dao Seed Realm, moving freely between the surface and the ground was perfectly acceptable. As long as they didn't accidentally stumble upon the nests of Commander-level rare insects or certain special restricted areas, they would be fine.

They fled north for two or three hundred miles.

Li Weiyi's magical energy was severely depleted, and he felt that it would be difficult for the enemy to track him down in the densely branching underground passages. So, he took out the magical artifact Jade Boat, landed in it, put down the coffin on his shoulder, and floated on the three-zhang-wide underground blood river.

On the stone walls along both sides of the river, many ferocious insects emitting green, blue, and red light lay prostrate.

Intimidated by the aura of the Phoenix-winged Moth Queen, they dared not attack the jade boat.

After taking a moment to catch his breath, Li Weiyi looked at the purplish-black coffin with a trembling heart.

"Whoosh!"

Push the coffin lid open.

The two phoenixes approached, their radiance illuminating the darkness as they peered into the coffin.

The woman with the pure immortal body in the coffin had awakened. Her body was roughly bound, her face was purplish-black, and there were bloodstains on her mouth and nose. Her eyes were filled with tension and fear.

Upon seeing the face of the person who opened the coffin, she was slightly taken aback, but then a look of joy appeared on her face.

Although she had always disliked Li Weiyi, she had to admit that he was a hero of his time. Even if… this hero had become decadent and self-destructive…

But it's definitely much better than falling into a cult.

Li Weiyi was quite surprised, but felt much relieved. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "You are that woman of Lu Cangsheng from the Thunder Cloud Sect..."

Li Weiyi no longer remembers her name.

But I was quite impressed with her.

Her cultivation and talent were both considerable, and her figure and appearance were among the best, second only to Zuoqiu Hongting and Jiang Ning. Even in this miserable state, her beauty was still evident. Her breasts, as round as inverted jade bowls, and her slender waist and legs were beyond the reach of ordinary beauties.

But she's very arrogant, and it seems... she's not very smart!
Li Weiyi had a rather stereotypical impression of her. After all, on his first day in Qiuzhou, in Xianlin, she looked down on him, calling him "mediocre without realizing it."

The key point is that Li Weiyi didn't provoke her at all, and didn't even look at her.

This is a woman who can attract hatred for herself!

Li Weiyi strongly suspected that if it weren't for her beauty, Lu Cangsheng would never have kept her by his side and would have left long ago.

Open the coffin lid completely.

The woman in the coffin had bloodstains all over her slender yet voluptuous body, clearly indicating that she had been brutally beaten by Long Ting for a long time. She survived only because Long Ting felt that his revenge was not enough.

After untying the ropes binding her, Li Weiyi saw that she was still lying motionless in the coffin, so he asked, "Where are you injured? Can you still speak?"

Tears welled up in Qin Qian's eyes, and she bit her lip, sobbing with extreme grievance.

"What? Did Longting bully you?" Li Weiyi asked with pity in his eyes.

"No, don't talk nonsense... cough cough... He was extremely ruthless. He broke many of my bones, and my internal organs were severely damaged. He sealed my Nine Springs Acupoints and Five Seas with the Dragon Gate Secret Technique, so I can't mobilize my magical energy to heal... I can't move now..."

As she spoke, blood gushed from Qin Qian's mouth again, and her full, rounded chest heaved violently.

Seeing her in such a miserable state, Li Weiyi felt inexplicably happy. He crossed his arms and asked, "Why didn't you return to Leixiao Sect? Why did you fall into the hands of the Dragon Court? What about Lu Cangsheng? He can't even protect his own woman. What is he doing?"

Qin Qian was too badly injured to talk to Li Weiyi, so she closed her eyes and said, "Help me break the seal on my Qi Sea first! If I say another word now, my injuries will worsen."

"Fine!"

Li Weiyi's hand reached towards her chest, where her lungs were located.

After thinking about it, he immediately withdrew his decision.

He grabbed her left wrist, pointed a finger at the "Laogong" acupoint in her palm, and infused it with magical energy. This is one of the nine major acupoints; once the seal is broken, a portion of the magical power can be mobilized.

Qin Qian screamed in agony, her whole body convulsing and trembling.

It turned out that the bones in his left hand had been broken by Long Ting, and Li Weiyi's lifting caused the bones to become severely dislocated.

Amidst the pain, a warm, tingling sensation flowed from her palm, breaking the seal on the Laogong acupoint of her left hand. Li Weiyi placed her arm back into the coffin.

Next, massage the "Laogong" point on the palm of your right hand, the "Yongquan" points on the soles of both feet, and the "Baihui" point on the top of your head.

Li Weiyi helped her up and sat her in the coffin, attempting to remove the seal on the Wind Mansion behind her head. As soon as he injected his magical energy, the inner world barrier of the Wind Mansion showed signs of collapse, startling him into quickly withdrawing his hand.

"What a strange technique. We can't break it with brute force. Use the Five Springs magic power that has been unlocked to heal your wounds first, and I'll think about it."

Li Weiyi threw her into the coffin, lay down himself, and then sat at the bow of the boat.

Qin Qian pondered for a moment and then understood. The reason why Li Weiyi did not help her unblock the Zutian, Tanzhong, Zhongshu, and Wuhai points was because these locations were too special, requiring the removal of magical artifacts and martial arts clothing, and even touching some private parts.

"Unexpectedly, this guy has a bit of a gentlemanly demeanor, which is quite different from the rumors," she thought to herself.

Little did she know, Li Weiyi was simply too lazy to cause trouble, lest she have something to say to Lu Cangsheng. After all, Qin Qian wasn't very bright, and if she accidentally let something slip, it would be an undeserved disaster.

Being able to repay evil with kindness and save her is already an act of compassion.

While claiming to be thinking about how to break the seal, Li Weiyi quickly began breathing exercises to replenish the magical energy consumed in her dantian.

Both Tuoba Butuo of the Northern Territory and Longting possessed a very powerful aura.

Clearly, by using the Dragon Path, their cultivation speed increases at an astonishing rate.

Every day, we strive to improve, gradually leaving our predecessors and sages behind.

No wonder Qi Xiao was willing to risk his life to fight for a Dragon Seed Ticket at the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival.

This is a true treasure that can change your destiny!
Perhaps they really can achieve immortality in ten years, or even several years.

Li Weiyi felt a strong sense of urgency. After finishing his meditation, he took Zuo Shi's body out of the bag and searched for valuable items.

The second-grade Hundred Character Armor Protective Armor is worth nearly 100,000 Yongquan coins.

Inside the bag were several thousand Yongquan coins and three jade bottles containing medicinal liquid.

Apart from that, there was nothing else of value.

Exploring the ancestral land...

He failed to cultivate the ancestral field and was at the inferior root of the Dao seed realm.

"After a hundred years of cultivation, you're still so poor? You don't even have a single offensive magic weapon?"

Li Weiyi remained silent, then threw Zuo Shi's corpse into the river of blood to feed the ferocious insects underground.

Little did he know that these Dao Seed Realm martial cultivators, who were already quite old, possessed years of honed Dao techniques and had no need for offensive magical artifacts. Only extremely high-grade Hundred-Character Artifacts could significantly boost their combat power.

For them, purchasing medicines to delay aging and maintain blood circulation and vitality constitutes the largest portion of their expenses.

Li Weiyi opened the three jade bottles to examine them.

Qin Qian smelled the exotic fragrance emanating from the jade bottle and opened her eyes from her healing state: "That's the Spring of Life. In Thousand Mile Mountain, it costs ten thousand Spring Coins to buy a small bottle. Can...can I take a bottle?"

After a pause, she said, "Consider it an obligation for me to owe you ten thousand Yongquan coins."

Seeing that she lacked any social skills, Li Weiyi had no choice but to say, rather rudely, "The same medicine has different prices at different times."

Qin Qian gritted her teeth, hating him to death.

This guy actually took advantage of the chaos!
But then he remembered that he had suggested suppressing him at the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival...

If we really want to settle the score, this is a very difficult matter to settle.

She suppressed her anger: "What price do you think we should sell it for?"

"One hundred thousand Yongquan coins!" Li Weiyi is short of money recently, and Yin Er still owes him five hundred thousand Yongquan coins.

Qin Qianxiu's eyes widened: "It's so expensive, why don't you just rob it?"

"The Spring of Life costs 20,000 Spring Coins, and saving you costs 80,000 Spring Coins. You're only worth 100,000 Spring Coins because you're Lu Cangsheng's woman. What's so expensive about that? When Lu Wensheng and I were dueling, he didn't even blink when betting on a thousand-year-old essence medicine. It's up to you, take it or leave it," Li Weiyi said.

"Fine, give it to me! Li Weiyi...you...you really are a scoundrel. I thought you were a decent person just now...cough cough..." Qin Qian was so angry that she spat out two more mouthfuls of blood.

Li Weiyi made her open her mouth and gave her a bottle of Life Spring.

Qin Qian hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Could you help me straighten and set my bones? I have several broken ribs and a broken arm bone..."

“Ten thousand Yongquan coins per stick,” Li Weiyi said.

She forced a smile and said, "Get out!"

Without paying, Li Weiyi turned and left, silently calculating in his mind: "Sure enough, it's the same in every world. Saving people is always more profitable than killing them, and it also cultivates a conscience. Fighting and killing only earns small sums, and it's a one-off deal... Hmm..."

Li Weiyi was in high spirits, believing he had grasped the secret to getting rich.

He released all seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Kings to guard the jade boat, and then opened the box that Tang Wanzhou had given him.

"Wow!"

A soft glow emanated from the box.

The fragments of the Lingtai Yanxing Stone, only the size of a grain of rice, were crystal clear and shone brightly, illuminating both banks of the underground river.

Its aura is exactly the same as that described by the spirit tablet master, so it should be true.

Li Weiyi didn't want to delay any longer. Now that he was safe for the time being, he prepared to immediately condense his mental energy into stars and attempt to break through to the Spiritualist level.

Once you become a Spiritual Master, you can rival martial artists at the Dao Seed Realm by relying on your mental power.

"Wow!"

The spiritual realm between his brows brightened, overflowing with numerous particles of spiritual light that rained down on the ship like a shower of light.

These particles of spiritual light spun, forming a small vortex that pulled the fragments of the Spirit Platform Flame Star Stone in his hand into it.

next moment.

A rice-grain-sized fragment of the Flame Star Stone floated in the center of the spirit realm, which was about one foot square.
