The time traveler does not die from cause and effect

Chapter 143 Manipulating People's Hearts and Stirring Up Chaos
Ye Zhoutian, also known as Liu Dayixiao, didn't care about Ling Yuanzi's praise at all.

"Senior, there's something I need to tell you..."

Ye Zhoutian explained his purpose, and Ling Yuanzi smiled and said:

"Inciting the Black-Winged Demon Dragon and the Silver-Toothed Evil Dragon to fight amongst themselves is a trivial matter; I'll take it on."

but……"

"Senior, please speak!"

"My lifespan is coming to an end, which is within the next six months."

"I have to do this job well, which will definitely take a lot of energy. In other words, I'm risking my life for you..."

"Senior, just tell me how much you need for payment!"

Ling Yuanzi laughed heartily. This kid is even more cunning than the old ghost; he can't be fooled at all.

“Sure, I’ll take care of it. One thousand spirit stones! Pay upfront!”

One thousand spirit stones can be exchanged for 110,000 gold coins, or 100,000 gold coins according to the exchange rate.

Ye Zhoutian secretly praised Wu Yong, thinking, "Wu Yong isn't useless either; he saw things so accurately."
Without wasting any words, he immediately took out a thousand spirit stones and handed them to Ling Yuanzi.

Ling Yuanzi accepted the spirit stones and then said:

"This requires some props."

The Daoist shackles are magical artifacts called the Myriad-Body Skin; I need them to disguise myself.

The magical artifacts of the Daoist path, with their treacherous facades, also require me to transform.

They also need the blood of the Azure Scale Serpent from the Path of the Dragon to make the dragon-man's disguise convincing.

In addition, several ritual implements containing sacred words and inscriptions of the Dao are also required.

I don't want to pay for these ritual implements; these are work tools, so you should pay for them!

Ye Zhoutian said, "No problem, it's nothing. I just don't know where to buy it?"

"It's okay, we'll go to the black market to buy it together later."

"Besides, I'm old and don't want to die in prison."

"Give me a room in your town that faces the sea; I want to grow old and die watching the sea."

Ye Zhoutian smiled and said, "No problem, senior. If you really die, I'll take care of you in your final moments!"

"Pah, pah, pah! You're the one who's going to die!"
"Stay here and chat with me for a while. The black market doesn't open until midnight."

"no problem!"

Ling Yuanzi looked at the two women serving him and cursed:

"You two get out of here and don't come back again. I don't need you anymore!"

The two women were taken aback; they didn't want to leave.

Ling Yuanzi started cursing, and the curses he used were extremely offensive.

The two women wept and wailed, then bowed to him and left.

Ling Yuanzi didn't even glance at them.

However, Liu Da had already quietly used Ye Zhoutian's Palm View.

Staring wide-eyed, he saw Ling Yuanzi secretly give each of the two men 500 of the 1,000 spirit stones he had collected as severance pay.

The cursing was just for show.

After the woman left, Ling Yuanzi continued chatting with Ye Zhoutian.

This old fellow is truly exceptionally talented; he knows everything about the world, from the heavens to the earth, there's nothing he doesn't understand.

"You brat, have you ever practiced any techniques at the Qi Condensation Realm?!"
"Let me tell you, to reach the Condensation Realm, one must diligently cultivate one's aura, refine one's primordial energy, and transform it into magical power before one has a future..."

"What? You've cultivated 'Eating the Clouds and Rinsing in the Jade Spring,' 'Sweeping the Floor and Borrowing the Whale,' 'The Flowing Water Rises Deep and Clear,' and 'The Rise and Fall of Life'? How come I can't tell? There's not a single trace of cultivation on you!"

Ye Zhoutian replied:

"My advancement to the Condensation Realm was achieved through the 'tank leading the way,' receiving the blessings of heaven and earth, and transforming these four aspects into my innate divine power!"

"You're doomed. These four auras are all extremely powerful Qi Condensation Cultivation Methods."

You turn them into supernatural powers, and that becomes part of your body.

With your body, the threshold for cultivation has increased, making ordinary forms meaningless.

It's useless for you to cultivate similar states and postures.

It will only be meaningful to you if you can transcend these four major aspects of the Dharma.

There's nothing we can do about it, Fuzhi..."

At this point, Ling Yuanzi fell asleep.

Actually, this has happened several times already. As people get older, they often drift off to sleep.

Another characteristic is that they talk without any rhyme or reason, repeating the same things over and over again.

The elderly man was lonely and liked to chat.

Ten minutes later, Ling Yuanzi woke up and continued:
"Good fortune may be the source of misfortune, and misfortune may be the source of good fortune..."

Ye Zhoutian sighed inwardly, "Even the most powerful heroes grow old!"

Unexpectedly, Liu Da sneered and said:

"Lord God, don't be fooled, he's acting. What 'asleep'? He's faking it!"

Ye Zhoutian was speechless. This old man was underestimating me because I was young!
"By the way, boss..."

Ye Zhoutian gave him spirit stones, and Ling Yuanzi kept calling him "boss".

"Later, when we buy things on the black market, you'll most likely run into someone you know."

"What acquaintance?"

"Who else could it be but Xue Ya, whom Old Master Chen randomly paired up with?"

Snow Girl? Could it be Chen Lingdu, the Fairy of Snow White?

"Actually, you should be careful. Xue is no ordinary person. She loves to pretend to be innocent and get a bunch of men to duel for her."

Old Master Chen finds this kind of woman extremely annoying, so he's giving this to you to get rid of her quickly, lest she cause chaos in the Chen family.

Xue Yatou is no simple character either. She deliberately disobeys the ancestor's orders and tricks you into portraying yourself as an innocent, naive girl who is determined to never obey.

When we're together, the sense of conquest I give you will be absolutely irresistible.

What is all this mess?

"However, it's also possible that she really is innocent and naive, and I'm just trying to trick you into badmouthing her."

What is the truth?
Haha, boss, that's just the hobby of a strategist—manipulating people's hearts and stirring up chaos.

Ye Zhoutian didn't know how to answer him, but Liu Da had a foolproof method: just chuckle and laugh.

Ling Yuanzi was left speechless with laughter...

As midnight approached, Ling Yuanzi stood up and said:

"Let's go shopping!"

Ye Zhoutian asked, "Aren't you going to tidy up?"

"Hahaha, I'm in prison, what's there to pack up!"

They left.

As Ling Yuanzi walked out of the villa, he looked back and said:

"Sigh, I never thought I'd actually be out here one day!"

Continuing forward, prison guards stood in two rows, escorting Ling Yuanzi out of prison.

Ling Yuanzi nodded slightly to them in response.

Upon arriving at the prison gate, someone said:
"Ancestor, do not look back, for we will never meet again!"

"Okay, okay, don't look back, never see you again!"

Ling Yuanzi led Ye Zhoutian on a stroll through Fengtian City.

It was already midnight, and although there were streetlights, there were hardly any pedestrians on the street.

Only the night watchman passed by from time to time.

"At midnight, all is well!"

Ling Yuanzi didn't take a carriage, but strolled around, and soon passed by a wealthy family.

"Boss, do you know which restaurant this is?"

Ye Zhoutian shook his head.

"Hehe, this is the Lin family, one of the fourteen wolves among the 'One Dragon and Four Tigers'!"

Ye Zhoutian's eyes widened immediately. The Lin family.

He harbored a deep resentment!

Actually, the Lin family had come to serve as bureau chiefs several times, which had been difficult for Ye Zhoutian, but he had never paid any attention to it or taken it seriously!

However, the last time he was captured by the Crimson Flame Bandits, Lin Jueyi, the Purple Mansion True Person of the Lin Family who was supposed to protect them, colluded with them.

This led to Ye Zhoutian's arrest and Mo Yuanlong's death.

Ye Zhoutian had secretly vowed to wipe out the entire Lin family.

However, Ye Zhoutian kept this vow hidden in his heart, without making a sound.

These large families, consisting of one dragon, four tigers, and fourteen wolves, are all intricately connected.

Lin Jueyi was not punished by Chen Donghu in the end, and the matter was dropped.

Therefore, we must find an opportunity that is absolutely safe and without any negative consequences before we can take action.

Anyway, I've only just entered the Dao, and I'm only at the Qi Condensation stage. According to ancient teachings, this is just the Qi Refining stage, so I have plenty of opportunities.

All the hatred surged into his heart, and Ye Zhoutian let out a long breath, suppressing it with all his might.

He looked at Ling Yuanzi and smiled:
"Senior, please don't do this, okay?"

The reason I couldn't hold back just now was all Ling Yuanzi's doing.

"No, I have to make a good impression on the boss, otherwise I won't feel at ease taking these spirit stones."

He thinks he's right? He's a complete liar!

He just loves playing pranks on people!

A master strategist, a master strategist, manipulating people's hearts and stirring up chaos in the world—truly extraordinary.
