Fishing for Dharma Transmission

Among these three young cultivators, Ye Wan and Ye Ji both had a cultivation of the Ninth Level of Qi Refining, while the young cultivator named Ye Jiuyue was at the First Level of Foundation Establishment.

At this moment, as the spiritual pressure that seemed to be crushing his spiritual sense completely appeared, this young cultivator named Ye Wan immediately understood Mu Yu's true cultivation.

Coldness flowed from the pores all over his body, and beads of sweat on his forehead kept sliding down.

The three young cultivators immediately fell completely silent.

Only then did they truly realize why Wang Li had asked that specific question at the beginning, and they truly understood what the woman meant by abandoning their meager cultivation if the three of them were rescued.

Their moods heavy, they fell completely silent. In Wang Li's ears, who was leading the way at the front, He Lingxiu's sound transmission rang out.

"Of the six cultivators wearing green wood masks earlier, only two were alive."

Wang Li's eyes immediately bulged.

"The cultivator who stayed to control the teleportation array was alive. Among the remaining five cultivators who were teleported to the western edge of the White Bone Continent, only one was alive. The other four cultivators who looked like them were all puppets controlled by him."

He Lingxiu's voice continued, "This matter is probably more complicated than I initially imagined. If my knowledge is correct, these people should be cultivators from the Puppet Master Sect."

Wang Li's brows furrowed.

He Lingxiu didn't know if Wang Li had heard of the Puppet Master Sect, so she directly transmitted to Wang Li, "The Puppet Master Sect is one of the evil cultivator sects in the chaotic continent. The cultivators of the Puppet Master Sect are elusive in the chaotic continent, and their corpse refining techniques are very strange. I had only heard of it before and had never seen it with my own eyes."

Although Wang Li also knew some sound transmission techniques, his knowledge of these techniques was very rudimentary. He did not dare to show off in front of the cultivators behind him, so he just listened silently.

Although he had not been in contact with He Lingxiu for a long time, and he always felt that this Fellow Daoist Hehe was full of mysteries and did not seem honest, he had to admit that at certain times, he and this Fellow Daoist Hehe had quite a tacit understanding.

In these few short sentences, he had already understood He Lingxiu's implied meaning.

This business was getting too complicated.

If it really didn't work out, they shouldn't worry about the remaining spirit sand. If the situation turned bad, they should prioritize their own safety and slip away.

Everyone followed silently behind Wang Li.

After they started moving, the three young cultivators also settled down completely. Even Ye Wan, who had been treated differently by Wang Li, had his resentful expression quickly disappear, replaced by a cautious one.

He Lingxiu had no idea what kind of identity these three young cultivators had, but judging from their expressions at the moment, even if these three young cultivators had not been to the White Bone Continent, they must have been to other chaotic continents and understood the dangers of the chaotic continent from painful experience.

Her guess was not far off.

These three young cultivators did have a deep understanding of the chaotic continent, but the more they understood, the more confused and wary they became of her and Wang Li.

It was very simple.

Whether it was cultivators from the Red Mountain Continent, Lesser Jade Continent, Fire Sparrow Continent, or Evil Water Continent, even if they were determined to seek wealth in danger and live on the edge of a knife, which of them would be so bored as to come to the White Bone Continent to seek special opportunities?

From these four eastern continental regions, eastward, lay the vast and boundless chaotic continent. With so many choices, even the several chaotic continents around the White Bone Continent, which one was not better than the White Bone Continent?

The spiritual materials for artifact refining and spirit medicine for alchemy in those continents, which one was not more abundant than in the White Bone Continent?

If it was the same kind of adventure, why come to a continent like the White Bone Continent?

It was like trying to tease a female cultivator. Why not choose one who was exceptionally beautiful, and instead choose someone who was old and faded?

Moreover, this barefoot cultivator seemed to have been to the White Bone Continent more than once or twice.

Among the vast number of rotting bones in the White Bone Continent, could any special spirit flowers grow?

It was precisely because they found the barefoot Wang Li to be too strange that they couldn't help but question him.

They even suspected that Wang Li and He Lingxiu, these two guides, might have originally been cultivators fleeing in the White Bone Continent.

Looking at Wang Li now, he seemed to be full of confidence. Although he had said at the beginning that it was best not to use any spells in this area and not to use True Essence, and only to follow him slowly, he walked at the very front himself, as if he wasn't nervous at all, and didn't even look around.

This dense forest also seemed to have no danger.

Although the ancient trees covered the sky and the sun, and countless strange vines intertwined like strange snakes, making the light dim and hazy, the ground was relatively clean. A thick layer of bone fragments blocked the dampness from the ground, making the ground not humid at all. Moreover, many huge demonic beast skeletons lay like flagstones, and walking directly on these bones was like walking on natural stone paths, making it not difficult to walk at all.

"Can we talk quietly in this area?"

Amidst the silent progress, He Lingxiu's voice suddenly rang out.

Wang Li chuckled again.

You're supposed to be acting as a guide... and haven't you been transmitting messages to me all along? Why are you asking this question without transmitting it?

However, in the next breath, he felt ashamed. This Fellow Daoist Hehe was clearly looking down on his lack of good secret sound transmission techniques, clearly afraid that if she transmitted to him, he would not be able to reply.

"Yes." He nodded, thinking that since He Lingxiu was sure that her secret sound transmission technique could not be eavesdropped on even by cultivators at the Golden Core stage, this technique must be extraordinary. He wondered if he could get his hands on it.

"Why is it necessary to walk slowly in this area?" He Lingxiu's voice continued with the unhurried footsteps of the group. "I don't know much about this area."

Wang Li chuckled.

Still pretending even now.

"Actually, if you don't walk slowly in this area, it's very easy to invite disaster. As for the reason... why don't you give me some benefits? Otherwise, I don't really want to tell you. If you all knew the trick, who would hire me as a guide to the White Bone Continent in the future?" he replied with a smile.

With a crack.

As soon as he said this, even the tall and thin cultivator named Han Yao was startled. He stepped too hard and crushed a section of dry bone.

Ye Wan, Ye Ji, and Ye Jiuyue looked at Wang Li and He Lingxiu in disbelief, wondering if these two were working together, and why they were still scheming against each other.

Moreover, listening to the barefoot cultivator's words, he considered the White Bone Continent guide to be his future exclusive business? And to openly ask for benefits like this, wasn't it a bit too shameless?

"Heh heh."

He Lingxiu also smiled, "Fellow Daoist Wang, if you're so calculative, you might have trouble getting business in the future."

"That's true. If I tell you all the secrets here, I really won't be able to get any business in the future," Wang Li said with an earnest expression. "But if you don't know them, you'll still need to hire me later."

"..." Ye Wan and the others were speechless.

"Since Fellow Daoist Wang puts it that way, let's make another deal. I'll trade you a spell technique for these so-called secrets of yours?" He Lingxiu said, "This secret sound transmission technique."

Her earlier words were spoken for everyone to hear, but the last sentence was conveyed to Wang Li alone using the secret sound transmission technique.

Wang Li was stunned. "Why does this feel like you're fishing?"

He Lingxiu grinned without smiling, "So, do you want it or not?"

Wang Li felt helpless.

He even suspected that He Lingxiu's initial mention of the cultivators from the chaotic continent was a setup for this secret sound transmission technique.

For the convenience of private communication, he believed He Lingxiu had always intended to pass this technique to him, but she didn't want to give it for free.

Therefore, he was certain that after teaching him the secret sound transmission technique, He Lingxiu would definitely try to extract more benefits from him.

He thought this Fellow Daoist Hehe was far too calculating and insidious.

However, his rationality compelled him to honestly reply, "Yes!"
