He became the True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws starting from Liaozhai.

"Flying boat, Xiao Xu, this magic artifact is quite suitable. Your magic power is abundant, so this magic artifact is quite suitable for you. Moreover, it does not require refining; you can make the flying boat take off with just magic power. This is perfect. In addition, the space is large, which can reduce unnecessary contact."

Liu Cheng's considerations were very thorough; even Xu Yi hadn't taken these points into account.

"Of course, are these all provided by Wanbaoge?" Xu Yi asked tentatively. This was all part of the mission, and he couldn't possibly have to pay for everything, especially since the City Lord's Mansion was being so generous. Xu Yi felt that a little extra wouldn't hurt.

"Hehe, of course, you don't need to worry about that. Wanbaoge has already made preparations. You just need to contribute your labor." Liu Cheng said with a smile. There's no reason for his own employees to pay for things. Wanbaoge is a large and powerful company, and these expenses will all be reported as battle losses.

"That's good." Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. It wasn't that he was unwilling to pay the money, but he really didn't have much money right now, only enough for his own cultivation. The Five Elements Pill could not only be used for cultivation, but also for restoring spells. The Five Elements Pill had many uses.

His most valuable possessions are this set of Five Elements spiritual items and these few bottles of Five Elements Pills; apart from that, he doesn't have any other assets.

As for spirit stones, he didn't exchange them. He decided to work in the Wanbao Pavilion these days. What's more valuable in the Wanbao Pavilion is contribution points. You can't buy contribution points with spirit stones, but you can exchange contribution points for spirit stones.

Liu Cheng explained this principle to Xu Yi when he went to collect his reward. That's why Xu Yi didn't choose to take the spirit stones but instead converted them all into contribution points. This operation is only allowed when collecting rewards; it's not possible at other times.

The vast majority of people directly convert their points into contribution points; almost 90% of the镖师 (bodyguards/escorts) do this. Only a very small number of people who need spirit stones will receive them. This is actually a way for Wanbaoge to control its镖师.

As long as the profits are large enough, none of the bodyguards will complain.

Indeed, Wanbaoge has achieved this, and no one has any complaints about it.

Because Wanbaoge gave so much.

"Alright, there's no time to lose. I've already sent a servant to inform the city lord's mansion. You should also make preparations. Xiao Xu, the flying boat is easy to control. Would you like to try it out first?" Liu Cheng was a little worried. He was afraid that Xu Yi had always been the one who rode the flying boat before and didn't have the habit of controlling it.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, shopkeeper," Xu Yi said, clasping his hands in greeting. This was his first time encountering a flying boat, and he had never ridden in one before; the old ox had always carried him.

Moreover, he once possessed the unpredictable supernatural power of being able to see the world from afar, but he no longer does.

When a flying boat was placed in front of Xu Yi, Xu Yi was somewhat silent. It was very small and hovered in Liu Cheng's palm. Xu Yi frowned when he saw it.

"Manager Liu, how should I use this?"

When he first saw such a magical thing, he was somewhat at a loss, and even more so, he didn't know how to operate it.

"This is a flying ship built by Wanbaoge. It is engraved with runes and has its own unique incantation. Each flying ship has a different incantation. Listen to it."

After Liu Cheng finished speaking, he leaned close to Xu Yi's ear and began to teach him the incantation for the flying boat. Liu Cheng took out two flying boats in a row and told Xu Yi the incantations for both of them.

After memorizing the incantation, Xu Yi began to experiment. He made hand gestures while chanting the incantation, and soon the flying boat in his palm began to change. To Xu Yi's astonishment, the flying boat quickly grew to be as large as a small boat.

However, it was not made of wood, but of a special material that Xu Yi had never seen before.

Looking at Xu Yi's expression, Liu Cheng knew that this was the first time Xu Yi had seen such a magical artifact. But given his combat awareness and his mysterious and unpredictable magic, why would this be the first time he had seen such a flying boat? Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case.

But soon, Liu Cheng put the question out of his mind. It was pointless. Since such a person had come, Liu Cheng had no reason to refuse. Xu Yi knew how to repay kindness; this was a lesson he had learned from the memory stone.

And judging from Xu Yi's performance all along, Xu Yi still seems very naive. Only from his perspective, Xu Yi is someone who has just entered the martial arts world.

Their thoughts are easy to guess.

"Xiao Xu, that's enough. Now try to shrink the flying boat."

When Liu Cheng came to teach Xu Yi again, he seemed to recall the days when his master taught him magic spells and incantations. Xu Yi was like his disciple.

But he knew that these days wouldn't last long. Xu Yi's mysterious background meant that he couldn't stay here for very long. Moreover, Xu Yi's cultivation was progressing very quickly and would surpass him sooner or later. Even if he couldn't enter the Foundation Establishment stage for the time being, he would soon be at the same level as him. It was just a matter of time.

After watching Liu Cheng's tutorial, Xu Yi began to try it himself. Soon, the small flying boat shrank rapidly after Xu Yi finished reciting the incantation.

This scene no longer gave Xu Yi the same shock he felt back then, because he had already been shocked.

This product of the cultivation world is truly too wondrous.

The only word to describe Xu Yi is "amazing".

"Alright, Xiao Xu, you already know how to use the flying boat, so I don't need to say anything more. Let's hit the road! Oh no, have a safe journey!" Liu Cheng felt that the last sentence, "hit the road," sounded a bit unlucky, so he quickly changed his words. "Have a safe journey" sounded much better.

Xu Yi bowed and took his leave. He accepted the two flying boats and put them into his storage ring.

Soon, guided by the waiter, he arrived outside the gates of Lion City.

He had only waited for a quarter of an hour when he saw the city lord, whom he had met the day before, leading a pretty woman toward him.

"Young friend Xu, we meet again." Li Ze showed no airs of a city lord. He had been doing business with Wanbaoge for so many years, and this was the first time he had seen such capable bodyguards here. Moreover, their cultivation was also strong, and their talent must be very high.

These kinds of young people are the most popular with their elders.

He is steady in his work and doesn't talk much.

"Greetings, Lord Li." Xu Yi bowed and greeted him.

The city lord was very sincere, and Xu Yi had no prejudice against Li Ze, so he naturally had to be polite.

"Young friend Xu, this is my daughter, Li Wei. Young people should get to know each other better." Li Ze said with a smile on his face. He admired Xu Yi, at least for now.

Moreover, he was entrusted with escorting his own daughter. You have received a new chapter update: Chapter 160 Blood Lotus, reading link. He had no time to leave Lion City; it was only right for him to guard this place. He had already taken root in Lion City. Every property and every building here was his hard work. All his memories were here, as were the people he loved and respected, who were now buried here.

He managed to avoid leaving the situation alone.

Li Wei bowed to Xu Yi, but it was just the kind of etiquette between fellow Daoists. Li Ze frowned as he watched. His daughter had been staying at Tianjian Mountain for so long that she was no longer like a woman. He had told his wife to teach their daughter these manners, but his daughter always agreed on the surface, but when it came to the occasion, she still didn't follow the rules.

Over time, Li Ze gave up and resigned himself to whatever.

However, Xu Yi was unaware of all this. He didn't think there was anything wrong with doing so, and even thought that Li Wei, this young lady from a wealthy family, was quite polite.

Li Ze and Liu Cheng had no idea what Xu Yi was thinking, otherwise they would have burst out laughing on the spot.

"Alright, Wei'er, go ahead and set off with young friend Xu." Li Ze waved his hand, somewhat helplessly. However, he was still very reluctant to part with his daughter. It was already difficult enough for her to come back once, and she had only stayed for a short time before having to leave again. However, his daughter had a mission on her hands. This time, her return violated the sect's rules. But the Southern Region was so vast that Tianjian Mountain couldn't possibly investigate everything. Moreover, this mission would last for a long time and take place in a very far place.

Therefore, Li Ze also felt very sorry for his daughter. The sect's mission was not completed, but fortunately there was enough time, and there was still a long time to search.

The original version had already explained this matter when Li Wei came, but so much time has passed and there has been no progress. This rare treasure is too difficult to find.

However, Wanbaoge received similar news, so they decided to set off ahead of schedule in case they failed to complete the sect's mission. If they really failed, then they would be in real trouble.

"Manager Liu, City Lord Li, farewell!" Xu Yi greeted the two seniors again after summoning the flying boat once more.

Liu Cheng nodded, while Li Ze smiled and waved.

Soon, Xu Yi began to channel his magic power into the flying boat, holding a compass from Tianjian Mountain in his hand.

With Xu Yi continuously channeling his magic power into it, the flying boat instantly transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the horizon.

Before leaving, Liu Cheng actually gave Xu Yi something: a damaged map.

Xu Yi simply didn't understand where the corresponding position on it was.

Soon, a day had passed, and the airship was already thousands of miles away from Lion City.

Xu Yi was taken aback. He wondered who was talking to him, but then he realized that there seemed to be only the two of them on the flying boat.

"Oh, oh, you did give me a map. Miss Li, do you perhaps know the purpose of this map?" Although Xu Yi's cultivation was higher than Li Wei's, her father was, after all, the city lord of Lion City, an Undying Realm cultivator, and also his employer, so his attitude naturally had to be more respectful.

After all, those in the service industry should be polite.

"Uncle Liu told me to ask you for this map when I got on the flying boat." Then, Li Wei took out a map from his storage ring. It was missing a piece. Xu Yi frowned and also took out a map from his storage ring. He looked at it and found that it was exactly the missing piece.

"Oh?" Xu Yi was a little puzzled. Why didn't Liu Cheng tell him about this? Could it be that he forgot?

Now it was Xu Yi's turn to be confused.

But later, when Li Wei produced something, Xu Yi completely believed her.

This is a treaty, and it's stamped with Liu Cheng's name. It's definitely the one. Xu Yi recognizes it. Manager Liu must have forgotten to tell him about it. There's really no other way.

Xu Yi was somewhat helpless; Manager Liu really did have a bad memory.

Fortunately, Li Wei had the necessary proof; otherwise, Xu Yi would never have given it to her today.

There was no so-called image-recording stone on this flying boat. When they arrived, Liu Cheng specifically told Xu Yi that the flying boat was just an ordinary magic artifact and that combining it would not have such an effect.

But the profit from the identity of the protector this time is frighteningly high. If Xu Yi wants to have such an opportunity again in the future, he will definitely not do anything outrageous. Moreover, even if you kidnap Li Wei, what benefits can you get from Li Ze?

The Undying Realm is no laughing matter, and once you reach the Golden Core stage, there's really no need to fight with you for these petty gains; it's pointless.

"Miss Li, here you go." Xu Yi handed over the torn map in his hand, but after seeing another part of the contract, Xu Yi was completely dumbfounded. Had he been sold?

Why would we need to help Li Wei compete for the Blood Lotus?

That's right. Once the map was completely pieced together, it provided clues to what Li Wei was looking for. However, Liu Cheng had never told Xu Yi about these things, so Xu Yi had no idea why there were so many things going on.

"Senior Xu, please help me." Li Wei looked innocent. She didn't know why Xu Yi had such a helpless expression. Didn't Uncle Liu tell him back then?

Or perhaps Xu Yi simply didn't want to get involved in this matter.

However, after Xu Yi read the contract carefully again, he discovered a loophole: he had accepted the Blood Lotus mission voluntarily, and he could have refused if he did not agree.

Xu Yi originally didn't want to get involved, but after seeing the reward, he stopped saying he wouldn't interfere. Wasn't the reward a bit too much?

It was even more than the number of times he acted as a protector this time.

Xu Yi succumbed to the reward offered for the operation; the city lord had given too much, and he couldn't refuse.

"I will follow Miss Li's arrangements." Xu Yi said expressionlessly, cupping his hands in a nonchalant manner. He was joking, after all; he was now the Li family's personal henchman, doing whatever Li Wei told him to do.

On the other side, after Liu Cheng returned to his residence, he suddenly remembered something.

He exclaimed, "Oh no, this is terrible! I forgot to tell Xiao Xu!"

However, he changed his mind again and realized that it didn't seem like a big deal, and Xiao Xu would definitely understand him.

After all, I've been quite busy these days.

Just finding the whereabouts of the Blood Lotus had already exhausted a lot of his energy; he had searched all over Wanbaoge before finding this clue.
