Daily random keywords, I survive until immortality.

The reason Yu Huai was able to kill this person this time was...

It's all thanks to that "silent" entry.

After Wu Wen was pierced by the Azure Wood Talisman, Yu Huai used the Divine Speed ​​Talisman to escape into the forest. He concealed his cultivation aura with the help of the Silver Ring, the cover of night, and the Silent attribute, making it impossible for the other person to detect his magic.

Yu Huai hid under the cover of night, moving through the forest and attacking with magic.

Just as Wu Wen began to consider retreating, Yu Huai saw that the time was right and struck with lightning speed, beheading Wu Wen in one blow without the slightest hesitation or pause.

This was the first time he had faced an enemy across so many realms.

Although it was a bit dangerous, it was resolved thankfully.

However, the reason he was able to defeat the cultivator who had reached the peak of Qi Refining so easily was because the man was already injured and had obviously gone through a great battle. He probably had used up all his trump cards, otherwise he wouldn't have died without using any talismans.

He wasn't confident enough to actually fight against a fully-fledged Qi Refining Master in perfect condition.

Yu Huai pondered for a moment, then, without pausing, merely glanced at the headless corpse before beginning to search its body.

He didn't have much on him, only a storage bag and a large sword, though the sword seemed to be a high-grade first-tier magic weapon.

With just this one magical artifact, the talismans he used this time were not a loss, and he could even earn another hundred spirit stones.

Yu Huai put away his storage bag and broadsword in a good mood. He glanced at the sky and realized that although the fight and chase between the two had lasted for a long time, it had actually been less than half an hour.

Don't stay here for long.

This person must have obtained some treasure at the auction and is being hunted down.

If he remains here, he will surely be suspected.

However, before leaving, we need to clean up a bit.

Yu Huai glanced one last time at the head not far away, pondering to himself.

In the blink of an eye, a day passed without incident.

Falling Maple Lane.

Yu Huai traveled through the night without stopping, and returned to Luofengfang in a day. After resting for a while and feeding Xiao Qing, he went back to his house.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, he seemed somewhat expectant as he took out Wu Wen's storage bag.

He activated his spiritual power to dispel the mark on it, and then peered inside to take a look.

Ok?

This is a bit too poor!

There was only a small pile of spirit coins inside, which amounted to no more than five spirit stones.

Talismans aren't that great either.

These are all mid-to-low-grade first-tier auxiliary talismans.

There are very few cultivation techniques and spells, only a few volumes, which should be the cultivation techniques and spells practiced by this person.

There were very few pills available, not even a single bottle of Qi Gathering Pills.

However, Yu Huai was quite pleased to see the contents of a few bottles.

This is because this substance is the earth vein spring water, an auxiliary material needed to refine the Qi-restoring pill.

He had seen the recipe for the Qi-restoring pill in the past few days, so he naturally recognized it.

The Qingxuan Sect is now plundering this item, yet this person still has several bottles on him. Perhaps he heard some rumors and is storing them away to sell at a high price later.

Yu Huai guessed what was going on and put those bottles into his own storage bag.

A cultivator who has reached the peak of Qi Refining cannot be this poor.

There's only one possibility: he used all the spirit stones to buy something.

As for what this thing might be?

Is it a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object?

Yu Huai looked expectantly at a long, exquisite box inside the storage bag.

He took the box out, tested it briefly, and finding no danger, opened it without hesitation.

A wisp of intense, crimson-gold aura wafted out.

The spiritual energy within Yu Huai's dantian was surging, but he could clearly sense that the spiritual energy was repelling those wisps of energy.

Circulate the Azure Cloud Technique to stabilize the spiritual energy in your dantian, then look at the flower in the box.

This flower has three golden-red petals with a flame in the center, and it has now burst into flames.

Fortunately, the box inside was no ordinary object. It was not burned by the fire, but instead it was able to suppress the rising flames, which amazed Yu Huai.

This item must be a Foundation Establishment artifact auctioned on the black market!

It was truly an unexpected delight.

Yu Huai looked at the flowers in the box with great joy.

For independent cultivators, possessing this item is enough to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage; it is something that is extremely rare and hard to come by.

I never expected it would fall into his hands today.

It's a bit of a pity, though.

This item is clearly of the fire element.

It wouldn't be of much use to him. If he were to forcibly use it to build his foundation, it would backfire and ultimately lead to his death.

But something is better than nothing.

Foundation Establishment items are priceless and hard to find; he could use them to exchange for some necessities.

The premise is that he has the ability to trade this item.

With these thoughts in mind, Yu Huai closed the box and put it into his storage bag. His excitement remained undiminished. Knowing that he had lost interest in cultivation, he left the courtyard and went to find the leather book.

Since his cultivation level regressed, Pi Shu has rarely gone out and has spent his days drawing talismans at home. His sister Pi You has been managing the spirit fields he rents.

However, it cannot be denied that this person's talisman-drawing skills are superior to Yu Huai's, and he can be described as having extraordinary talent. In addition, with the Pi family's training of him, he is already able to draw some ordinary high-grade talismans.

Pi Shu is a drinker.

He had come to Yu Huai for drinks many times, seemingly to relieve his inner turmoil. In this way, the two became good friends and could call each other brother.

Yu Huai also took the opportunity of drinking to ask Pi Shu some questions.

This man, Pi Shu, was a member of a family and knew a great deal. He broadened Yu Huai's horizons and taught him a lot about Huai'an County.

The reason he came to find the book was to inquire about the Foundation Establishment spiritual object on his body, and also to ask about his experience in drawing high-grade talismans.

"Brother Yu, are you aware of the Tian family's intention to withdraw?"

After several rounds of drinks, Pi Shu spoke up and asked a question.

Ok?

Has the Tian family issued an official document?

Although Yu Huai had already guessed some of it, he was still somewhat surprised that the Tian family wanted to leave so quickly. However, when he looked at the leather book, he still asked with a puzzled expression:

"I was out these past few days and just returned today, so I haven't heard anything about it yet."

Upon hearing this, Pi Shu nodded and said:

"I see."

"A few days ago, the Tian family issued an official document stating that they would completely withdraw from Luofengfang. As for who will take over Luofengfang, there are many different opinions, and it is unknown which one is true."

"Brother Yu, which company do you think will take over Luofengfang? And will they continue to offer rent-free accommodations?"

Yu Huai pondered for a moment, and seemed to have thought of someone.

Money is easy!

The Qian family's scheme was discovered by the Tian family, yet they left unscathed; there must have been some kind of deal behind it.

It's possible that Luofengfang will belong to the Qian family in the future.

However, this is just his guess.

Yu Huai shared this conjecture with Pi Shu.

"The Qian family? I've heard that the Qian family ruthlessly exploits the local markets, but I've also heard rumors that the young master of the Qian family has abducted women in the streets. What should we do?"

"My cultivation has reached its limit, and I've become a cripple. I've decided to leave and descend to the mortal realm to become a wealthy landowner and continue the Pi family bloodline."

Pi Shu sighed softly and shook his head helplessly.

"And what about your younger sister?"

Yu Huai was quite surprised, as this was tantamount to giving up the path to immortality. However, seeing that Pi Shu was determined, he did not try to persuade him further, but instead asked the question.

"That's what worries me too. She's someone who's unwilling to be mediocre. Even though she's a woman, she still dreams of pursuing the path to immortality. I won't interfere."

"But if the Qian family takes over the market, exploitation will follow. How can she survive on just a few acres of spirit land?"

"Brother Pi, don't worry, this is just my guess."

Yu Huai spoke up.

I also knew in my heart what the book wanted to say.

Ugh.

"Whether it's the Qian family or any other family, it's all the same."

"Brother Yu, I have another request for you. If my younger sister is in trouble after I leave, please help me. I am willing to give you my ancestor's knowledge of talisman drawing."
