He became the True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws starting from Liaozhai.
Chapter 150 Natural Barrier
At dawn, the bell of Wanbaoge rang precisely on time. Upon hearing the bell, Xu Yi opened his eyes from his meditation.
As the surrounding mist dissipated, Xu Yi felt refreshed and invigorated.
Soon, Xu Yi heard someone knocking on the guest room door.
"Chief镖师 Xu, it's time to set off." The maid's voice came from under the eaves.
"it is good."
Xu Yi's voice came from the roof, which startled the little maid. She shuddered. These seniors with high cultivation levels have such strange habits. Why do they all like to sleep on the roof?
Actually, this wasn't the first time the little maid had encountered such a strange cultivator. She had been in the Wanbao Pavilion for so many years and had met many, many eccentric people.
To put it bluntly, Xu Yi's behavior of sleeping on the roof is actually quite good for him; it's relatively normal.
As everyone knows, talented people often have some peculiar hobbies, and the little maid understood this perfectly. She quickly calmed herself down.
Then, she cleared her throat and said, "Chief Escort Xu, it's time to set off."
"Okay, I understand."
"Manager Liu asked me to tell you to be careful on your journey, as he cannot come to see you off today."
"Okay, thank you very much, shopkeeper."
After the maid finished speaking, she turned and left. Xu Yi's status might be very high, but he was Manager Liu's man, so there was no need for her to fawn over someone like Xu Yi.
Xu Yi leaped down from the rooftop, and the sword on his back was already stored in his sea of consciousness.
He discovered that items closely connected to himself, such as magical treasures, could be stored in his sea of consciousness, which was very convenient.
After figuring this out, Xu Yi headed towards the direction of the goods, where there were guards, but they were all at the Qi Refining stage.
However, there are many formations inside the Wanbao Pavilion. Although this Wanbao Pavilion is not a large-scale one, it still has everything you need.
These are all the fruits of Liu Cheng's hard work over the years. In Lion City, no one has ever been heard of daring to cause trouble at Wanbao Pavilion, even though Wanbao Pavilion has no Golden Core cultivators or Immortals.
Holding the token, he arrived at the cargo storage point, where the guards verified it, and he was allowed to pass.
Here, he saw that Lao Hei and his gang were already waiting.
Upon seeing Xu Yi, they all bowed and said, "Greetings, Chief Escort Xu."
Xu Yi waved his hand, indicating that they didn't need to be so polite. He was still quite unaccustomed to being called a镖头 (镖头 is a term used to describe someone who is a镖头, meaning "bodyguard" or "escort leader").
The goods were all pulled by tamed monsters and were protected by arrays to prevent them from being jostled or scattered.
Wanbaoge has considered all of these things very carefully.
Xu Yi only needed to sit quietly in the back and guard the area; he didn't even need to use magic to travel.
The cargo was so heavy that Xu Yi was unable to control it or even lift it with his magical power.
This is what makes this batch of ore special.
As for what it's used for, Xu Yi had no idea. In short, it was very special, and that was the only thing Xu Yi knew.
Soon, the group set off.
With the blessing of Wanbaoge's token, they left the city without any checks.
Wanbaoge is special, and the city lord knows this, so he is quite lenient towards Wanbaoge. Moreover, Wanbaoge would never do anything to ruin its own reputation.
The city lord of Lion City is not afraid of any unexpected events.
The demonic beasts that hauled the goods were very fast. If we only consider speed, Xu Yi felt that he couldn't compare to these demonic beasts at all.
Of course, if you take his escape technique into account, Xu Yi would definitely be far superior to him.
What surprised Xu Yi, however, was the stamina of these monsters. They could keep going like this without expending almost nothing.
Xu Yi didn't even see these monsters eat anything.
And so, Xu Yi and his group traveled for nearly ten days, passing through many cities, but without stopping.
On the eleventh day, Lao Hei suddenly informed Xu Yi that it was time to change trains.
Xu Yi was unaware of these rules, but Liu Cheng hadn't explained them to him at the time. Xu Yi thought it might not be his responsibility anymore, and he didn't even need to worry about them. Lao Hei was experienced and could handle it.
"Alright, Lao Hei, you can arrange everything." Xu Yi waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.
Yes, Xu Yi didn't care about any of that. As far as he was concerned, all he needed to do was ensure the safety of the goods.
Other things will naturally be taken care of by others.
Sometimes, Xu Yi even found it strange that in a world where cultivation was possible, there were such special minerals. Robbery was truly a primitive method.
Even if they were robbed, they would still walk very slowly unless they were willing to have monks pull the cart.
However, this consumes too much mana and spirit stones, and the cost seems to be even higher. Xu Yi suddenly realized that there was a reason why Wanbaoge used demon beasts to pull goods. Cultivating demon beasts only takes time and can be used for a long time, but if cultivators are used to pull the cart, then it will really cost a lot of money, and you have no idea how many spirit stones the cultivator will consume.
Cultivators may lie, but low-intelligence demon beasts won't make a fuss about that.
The amount of food a monster can eat and how long it takes to grow are actually predetermined and supported by certain data.
Therefore, the cost of cultivating monsters is relatively low, and the consumption is minimal; it just requires a certain amount of time to cultivate.
However, Wanbaoge has grown to such a large size because it has long since formed a complete industrial chain.
Xu Yi could also clearly feel that these demonic beasts were running out of energy and their speed had slowed down considerably. This was the result of traveling continuously for ten days and nights without stopping.
Xu Yi spent almost all his time cultivating during this period without stopping. Although the process was slow, he felt that he would still make progress over time.
However, Xu Yi only cultivates during the early morning hours. The rest of the time, he studies the Qingxuan Yuyou Chapter and comprehends the next talisman. He tries to understand it thoroughly through his talent.
The Soul Suppression spell, perhaps the first few spells wouldn't be very useful for Xu Yi in combat, especially the Evil Extermination spell, which is specifically designed for evil cultivators. Xu Yi wouldn't even use it against cultivators, wasting so much of his mana. He had seen it used on Liu Cheng before, and it didn't have much effect. This specific spell is only more effective against demons and evil spirits.
Xu Yi still wanted to thoroughly understand the Soul Suppression Technique so that he could have more ways to deal with the soul. However, Xu Yi also knew that he had a weakness. No matter how strong his soul techniques were, they were still limited. He could only use soul-type spells, but he didn't have any Five Elements spells. That was his weakness. Soul-type spells were undeniably very lethal to an individual, but what if the opponent had Five Elements defensive spells?
Can your soul attack penetrate the Five Elements spells?
The answer is no, which is Xu Yi's biggest weakness. At that time, the ability to destroy Shi Chongming's Five Elements Spells was purely a matter of overwhelming power at the spell level. Xu Yi's soul spell energy was too great.
The monster-drawn cart moved quickly. When entering the city, Old Hei showed Wanbaoge's token as usual, and they passed through at breakneck speed without even having their goods inspected.
Xu Yi didn't even know the name of the city. He sat quietly in the carriage, slowly comprehending his magic.
It wasn't until the transfer that Lao Hei woke Xu Yi up, and only then did Xu Yi come out to breathe some fresh air.
There is a small spirit-gathering array engraved inside the carriage, which is a perk for the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort).
Xu Yi could only say that it was no wonder they wanted to find an organization, and no wonder they all wanted to join a major sect or power, as the benefits and treatment were simply too good.
This was Xu Yi's first time experiencing a spirit-gathering array.
However, he didn't use it many times. Xu Yi used it mostly in the morning, so he didn't have to be on guard like Lao Hei and the others.
From this perspective, Lao Hei and his team were the ones who truly worked hard, but Xu Yi knew that his share of the profits was much higher than theirs.
He didn't say much, after all, if they were really in danger, he would definitely be the one to contribute the most.
Why would someone trying to rob a caravan only come from the Qi Refining stage? How dare a mere Qi Refining cultivator rob a caravan being escorted by Wanbaoge?
If they had come, they would have been at the Foundation Establishment stage. Without Xu Yi's support, Lao Hei and his group would have perished in just a few breaths.
Just like how Xu Yi wants to kill them now.
As long as they are within the scope of the goods, Xu Yi can take their lives in the blink of an eye.
This is an absolute crushing of the Foundation Establishment stage by the Qi Refining stage.
During the Foundation Establishment stage, one also needs to gradually strengthen their spiritual awareness.
Yes, the second level of the Divine Illumination and Glowing Clouds Technique is about cultivating divine sense. It is a technique for cultivating divine sense. The strength of one's divine sense and the range of its detection determine one's Foundation Establishment realm.
This is also one of the standards for judging the strength during the foundation building period.
This is what the capacity of the sea of consciousness and the range of divine sense exploration are all about.
The larger a cultivator's sea of consciousness is, the more energy they can use. The energy required to use divine sense is the energy within the sea of consciousness.
It's similar to the spells in a cultivator's dantian. If the magic power in the dantian is depleted, the cultivator will be unable to use certain spells.
The most difficult part for someone in the Foundation Establishment stage to cultivate to the Golden Core stage is cultivating their divine sense and spells, which means strengthening their dantian and sea of consciousness.
Only when both reach perfection can one advance to the Golden Core stage.
This is why it is so difficult to reach the Golden Core stage.
Meeting these two conditions alone is not enough; advancing to the Golden Core stage requires cultivating the laws.
Without the blessing of the laws, one cannot condense the Golden Elixir.
Only when the sea of consciousness and the dantian are united can a golden elixir be forged.
Soon, Old Hei had changed into his new monster.
It was also exchanged at Wanbaoge in this city.
Every Wanbaoge (a type of transport agency) offers this service: they provide rest areas for the escorts or offer them the option to exchange their vehicles for magical beasts.
These are the rules between Wanbaoge. If you don't follow them, the other manager can report you at the ten-year meeting, and you will be punished.
Therefore, the managers of Wanbaoge were very harmonious.
Old Hei never doubted this.
After changing their monsters, Xu Yi and his group rested here for a while before setting off again.
The route was extremely rugged. In order to get there quickly, they even had to cross a canyon, which was a truly treacherous place.
Old Hei's face seemed even darker. He didn't inform Xu Yi; he felt that something was wrong here, very wrong.
The escort team continued at the original speed. Old Hei and the other cultivators rode horses, which were also demonic beasts and were much faster than the cultivators could travel on their own. After all, cultivators at the Qi Refining stage could not fly, and such rapid travel consumed a lot of mana. This solution was carefully devised by Wanbaoge and was based on a lot of experience.
Both sides are sheer cliffs, extremely steep.
Old Hei was starting to feel the pressure.
He turned his horse around and headed towards the back of the procession, where Xu Yi's carriage was located.
Xu Yi was meditating and cultivating within it.
Old Hei was really worried that something unexpected might happen, so he came to ask Xu Yi for instructions. Actually, he was unwilling to do this. He was unwilling to provoke these镖头 (bodyguards) before he had absolute evidence, because most of these镖头 had bad tempers. They had high cultivation levels, so some of them had very strange tempers.
He was often beaten and scolded by some镖头 (bodyguards/escorts), and there were very few normal镖头.
He knew that cultivating to the Foundation Establishment stage was extremely difficult, because he was also on the path to Foundation Establishment and could best understand how challenging it was.
He didn't know what kind of temper Xu Yi had, but when Manager Liu was around, Xu Yi's behavior gave him a good impression. He just didn't know what Xu Yi was really like in private.
"Chief镖师 Xu, are you there?" Old Hei's tone was even somewhat humble.
He was terrified of angering the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort).
"Huh? Lao Hei, what's up?" Xu Yi was surprised that Lao Hei was looking for him at this time. You know, in the past few days, Lao Hei had rarely spoken to him along the way, only popping up when changing trains.
Old Hei noticed that Xu Yi's tone was very light and contained no hint of contempt or disdain.
This warmed his heart. Usually, at this time, the head镖师 would be angry that he had disturbed the other party's cultivation, but Xu Yi did not do so.
"Oh, Chief Escort, it's like this, the road ahead looks a bit off. I'd like to ask you to use your divine sense to investigate; I'm afraid there might be an ambush!"
Old Hei voiced his doubts: this place was simply too perfect for an ambush.
Old Hei was unsure of himself; he was afraid that if he went inside, he would fall into someone else's trap.
Xu Yi lifted the curtain and stepped out of the carriage.
The carriage stopped, and the entire procession came to a halt. Everyone turned their gaze toward Xu Yi, or more precisely, toward Lao Hei. They dared not look directly at the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort).
Everyone knows that the most important person in this team is the other side.
Xu Yi looked to both sides, his expression turning serious. This place was perfect for an ambush. If he went in rashly, he might get surrounded, and then it would be a real problem to escape.
"Yes, Lao Hei, your concerns are valid. Now, watch me." Xu Yi nodded solemnly, and then, he transformed into an arc of light and vanished from everyone's sight in an instant.
