The Primordial Law

Chapter 490 The Assassin

"What's the disturbance? With the current situation, there's no time for me to go into seclusion."

Li Weiyi led Yin Jiu and Yin Shiyi to the dining hall: "It's only been a day or two, what do they want from me?"

Yin Jiu said, "The Mind Master combat power displayed by Shen Yinren is enough to rival the top geniuses of Daogong. He has already become a highly sought-after figure. Not to mention them, some old guys from the Jiuli Clan have asked me to contact you many times. I came here today specifically to invite Shen Yinren out of seclusion because Yao Yin wants to see you."

The meals at the Hidden Sect stronghold were prepared by the Old Man of Cooking and Hidden Twenty-Four.

Yu'er, wearing an apron, busied herself helping out.

The three of them sat down at the table and breakfast was soon served: three bowls of steaming hot noodle soup.

"She's not coming to the Hidden Sect's stronghold? It seems she hasn't completely come out of this situation yet," Li Weiyi said.

Yin Jiu said, "After all, she's only eighteen years old. She's sharp-edged and has strong feelings of love and hate. Can you expect her to be like those old guys who have lived for hundreds of years? If she takes all emotions lightly and can accept all arrangements calmly, that would truly make people feel unfamiliar and worried."

Li Weiyi nodded and asked loudly, "Who made today's noodle soup?"

"It was Sister Twenty-Four! Master, I helped start the fire." Yu'er said, as if taking credit, her little face covered in soot, like a tabby cat.

Li Weiyi said, "Not bad. In the past two years, your cultivation has dropped significantly, but your cooking skills have improved."

Yin Ershisi rolled his eyes at him: "My cultivation hasn't fallen behind."

“Your sister’s cultivation has already reached the third level of the Dao Seed Realm, while you are still in the Five Seas Realm. When Yao Yin and I were in the Spring of Life Realm, you were already in the Five Seas Realm.” Li Weiyi’s eyes were full of disdain.

Yin Ershisi's full chest heaved with anger: "It seems that the Hidden Gods can't eat too much. I didn't provoke you."

Yin Jiu suppressed a smile. The entire Hidden Sect couldn't find another person with such sharp edges. In the world today, aside from those Longevity Realm giants, it would be difficult to find another who dared to respond to Li Weiyi in such a way.

Yin Shiyi said, "Her cultivation speed is quite fast; she's almost at the peak of the fifth realm. I'm in the Five Seas Realm, and my cultivation speed is far inferior to hers. You and Yao Yin are two monsters... uh, two young emperors..."

"Sigh, I can't comprehend the battle tactics of the God of Jiuli. My cultivation is lagging behind. From now on, practice your cooking skills well and take on Elder Aoshan's job. Here, take this dragon seed. Don't curse me in your heart anymore, I can hear everything."

Li Weiyi took out the last remaining dragon seed and placed it on the table.

Afterwards, he left the base with Yin Jiu and Yin Shiyi and headed to Hai City.

In fact, Li Weiyi had two dragon seeds left. The other one was in Lingxiao City, which he gave to Zhuang Yue.

After watching the three walk away, Yin Ershisi quickly stepped forward, put away the dragon seed, and his eyes changed from doubt and surprise to disbelief and joy.

Surprisingly, the guy didn't take the opportunity to ask for an exorbitant price. He probably figured he couldn't afford to buy her even if he sold her.

The good news is that with the Dragon Seed, the Realm of Immortality is no longer out of reach.

“Twenty-fourth sister, Master just likes to bicker with you, but he actually cares about you a lot,” Yu’er said.

Yin Ershisi remained silent, nodded gently, and led Yu'er to wash her face.

……

Li Weiyi and Yao Yin traveled through the waterways of the mirage in a small boat, attracting envious and jealous glances from countless martial arts practitioners.

Yao Yin sat at the bow of the boat, took out a silk hat and put it on her head, but she could still feel the burning gazes from both banks and hear all kinds of discussions.

"It's the Hermit of Jiuli and the Holy Maiden Yao of Du'e Temple. The two of them are actually boating on the river again. Last time, they were assassinated in the mirage."

"I really envy Li Weiyi. Despite her noble status, the Holy Maiden Yao is completely devoted to him. Others would find it difficult to even see her, but he can spend time alone with her anytime."

"You're envious of that?"

"Have you heard of Jiang Ning, the most beautiful woman in Lingxiao? She is his confidante, and he personally acknowledged it in Lingxiao City."

"If I were his fiancée, Zuoqiu Hongting, I would have broken off the engagement long ago. Before breaking off the engagement, I would definitely teach him a lesson for going too far."

"A lesson? Although the Nine Li Hidden Man's path of martial arts has been severed, his speed of cultivating mental power is terrifyingly fast. His unparalleled heroic figure at the Banquet of Generals, how many of the younger generation in Lingxiao can compare to him?"

"The cultivation speed of Bei Shaojun and Nan Shenyin is simply heaven-defying. Once Nan Shenyin breaks through to become a Holy Spirit Mind Master, all the criticisms against him will vanish."

……

Yao Yin said softly, "Is this what you call 'relieving stress'? What are you really up to?"

"They don't sell medicine, but I've come to buy some."

Li Weiyi put away the information about the four masters of Zongsheng Academy given to him by Yin Jun, looked up, and saw Master Ma's stall in the distance.

The small boat was moored next to the stall.

Of course, Master Ma knew the identities of the two men in front of him. When he saw that a big client had arrived, his eyes lit up and he stood up to greet them.

Li Weiyi asked, "Do you have any 5,000-year-old medicinal herbs?"

"Yes," said Master Ma.

Li Weiyi asked, "What's the price?"

"Fifteen million Yongquan coins, or fifteen top-grade blood crystals," Master Ma said.

Li Weiyi asked in a low voice, "Are there any spots left?"

Master Ma was taken aback, secretly admiring the intelligence system of the Nine Li Hidden Sect: "There are only ten spots, and everyone is scrambling for them. Since it's a hidden sect, they have to squeeze out two spots, and each spot costs ten million Yongquan coins."

"The price has been halved, it seems that the spots are hard to sell."

Thinking this to himself, Li Weiyi transmitted his voice, "There are too many people around here, let's find a secluded place to make the deal? Also, I'd like to meet your two grand-nephews. Such a big deal needs to be verified."

“Okay,” said Master Ma. The price of the five-thousand-year-old refined medicine was three times higher than the four-thousand-year-old refined medicine he bought last time.

Normally, the essence medicine sent by the Hidden Lord, plus the essence medicine obtained from the Qiongji Daozi Realm Bag, would be more than enough to slowly feed them up to the Ninth Heaven.

However, if you want the seven Phoenix-Winged Moth Kings to grow to the eighth level of the Dao Seed Realm in a short period of time, you must purchase a five-thousand-year-old refined medicine.

After closing up his stall, Master Ma took Li Weiyi and Yaoyin to his residence.

He ordered the demon servant to serve tea.

Then he sent a little demon to invite the Water Fox Fairy and Prince Baba.

Master Ma sat down in the main hall, facing the entrance, his head resembling a huge hippopotamus: "The Hermit is incredibly brave. Aren't you afraid that I, Master Ma, harbor ill intentions?"

Li Weiyi sat down in the chair next to Master Ma and picked up his teacup: "Master Ma is no ordinary person, but the Jiuli tribe and the Du'e Temple are not so easy to mess with. This is the Moon Dragon Island Sea Market. Of course, if Princess Dengfeng takes action, that's another matter. We young people have our own way of fighting and rules."

After laughing heartily, Master Ma took out a golden treasure box containing the millennium-old elixir from his waist pouch.

Li Weiyi opened the treasure box, confirmed it contained white jade Ganoderma lucidum aged five thousand years, and immediately closed it. Then, he took out the thousand-character artifact he had prepared beforehand and exchanged the artifact for the medicine.

The first item is a wheel-shaped thousand-character instrument.

Beneath the Cloud Heaven Immortal Plain, kill a transcendent disciple of the Demon Kingdom and seize it.

"A first-class thousand-character artifact, with exquisite craftsmanship, containing four million Yongquan coins."

The second artifact that Li Weiyi took out was the Heavenly Sword of Qiongji Daozi.

Master Ma recognized it at a glance.

Li Weiyi said, "I obtained it through a transaction with Liu Fengshu!"

"This sword is extraordinary; it can be considered Qiongji Daozi's lifeline. It's worth ten million Yongquan coins," said Master Ma.

Li Weiyi didn't take any more Thousand Character Artifacts. Instead, he took out two Dao Fruits, paid the last million Yongquan Coins, and then bought a batch of materials for refining the Heavenly Sword Talisman, including the Transcendent Bone, from Master Ma.

"I've heard that Master Ma also sells information. As a major client, could I possibly receive a piece of information for free?" Li Weiyi exuded extraordinary poise, his every gesture radiating confidence.

"Of course, of course, normal messages can be sent."

Master Ma was very interested in establishing a long-term business relationship with this reclusive Jiuli man. He also realized that this young man was no ordinary person.

Li Weiyi asked, "Who tried to assassinate me and Yao Shengnu that day in Haishi?"

The people who were actually assassinated were Zuoqiu Hongting and Yao Yin.

Master Ma's eyes narrowed slightly.

Li Weiyi said, "Master Ma is incredibly resourceful; there's no way he wouldn't know."

How could someone who can casually produce five-thousand-year-old medicinal herbs and address the Water Fox Fairy and Prince Baba as his grand-nephews be an ordinary demon beast?
After nodding, Master Ma sighed, "This information is quite valuable. Consider it a gift to make a friend of the Hermit! As far as I know, the one who made the move was a group of assassins trained by the Bai Yi among the Three Islands bandits. However, their purpose was not to assassinate, but to capture the Holy Maiden Yao."

Li Weiyi asked, "Who is the mastermind behind this?"

“The innate Dao Spirit of the Western Demon Clan, Bai Yeqing,” said Master Ma.

Yao Yin sat quietly to the side, remaining composed throughout.

But Li Wei could sense that the fluctuations in her heartbeat and breathing did not indicate a state of tranquility and authenticity.

He clasped his hands in thanks to Master Ma, saying, "Thank you for telling me."

Outside the room, the water beaver fairy's anxious voice rang out: "Oh dear! Finally, a customer! Where is he/she? Where is our esteemed guest... Cousin, let's go, there's no esteemed guest, we've come to the wrong place..."

When the Water Lily Fairy saw Li Weiyi sitting inside, she turned to leave, but was stopped by Prince Baba.

Prince Baba already knew that "Lu Cangsheng" of the old Yuzhou city was actually Li Weiyi, and he had a good impression of him, unlike Shui Lixian who was afraid of him.

Having been planted with the spirit fire of death, how could the Water Fox Fairy not be afraid?
I just want to get as far away as possible.

Li Weiyi stood up, walked out the door, and smiled at Shui Lixian: "Shall we discuss this deal privately?"

"Okay! I'll talk to him. I'll talk to him alone. Nobody knows how to bargain better than me."

The Water Civet Fairy immediately released a dark red smoke of immortality, enveloping it and Li Weiyi alone. Then, she pretended to be arrogant, but her tone was full of pleading: "Brother Ren, stop playing with me. Release my Death Spirit Fire, and I will agree to any conditions."

"I want a free spot," Li Weiyi said.

Waterfowl Fairy immediately agreed: "Okay!"

"Protect her for me, in case anything goes wrong..." Li Weiyi said.

The water beaver fairy said, "As long as I am here, she will be here."

"Alright, if you can accomplish this, I will remove the Death Flame from your body."

Immediately afterwards, Li Weiyi added, "I want to see Princess Dengfeng!"

……

At the beginning of the month, monthly passes were still required, and I really tried my best to update...

Typing with two fingers would take a whole day...
