Qi Sea Tenfold

You mean...?

Zuoqiu Lanlan understood what he meant, her eyes filled with surprise and doubt, and then she shook her head. "No, Sima Tan is a man of great righteousness and noble character, he is not that kind of person."

"Perhaps he's not that kind of person now, still bound by his conscience, but once he wakes up, he'll definitely kill us to silence us. Extraordinary talent, Seven Mysterious Insects, and our weak and feeble strength..."

Zuoqiu Baiming said, "If it were you, would you kill him to cover it up? By the way, what about the Heavenly Flame Saber and the Immortal Soil? He wasn't even tempted?"

Zuoqiu Lanlan seemed to realize something and said sadly, "He won a great victory in this battle and will definitely seize a lot of spoils. If he takes us back down the mountain, he will inevitably share the credit with us. If he kills us directly, it will only be a matter of wielding a few more swords."

Zuoqiu Baiming nodded. "We can't go back. Thirty-three Li Mountain is our burial ground."

"If we escape now, we might have a chance," Zuoqiu Lanlan said.

"There's no way to escape! And if we try to escape now, it might just provoke him to kill us to silence us," Zuoqiu Baiming said.

Zuoqiu Lanlan said, "Perhaps... we've been too naive..."

Zuoqiu Baiming said, "If you want to live, you have to prepare for the worst. Lan Lan, you have Pure Immortal Body and outstanding beauty. If you can take the initiative to make sacrifices, you might be able to keep him in check. Sima Tan looks like a greenhorn focused on martial arts. As long as you make him lose himself in it and temporarily forget about killing to cover it up, he will regret it too late after he goes down the mountain."

"Ah... Brother Che's body is barely cold..."

Zuoqiu Lanlan exclaimed in disbelief that he would say such a thing. How could someone who was once so proud suddenly become so shameless?

"Then let's just wait to die together!" Zuoqiu Baiming sighed.

Far from the stone forest of Giant Stone Statues, shrouded in mist.

The camel bells rang loudly, and lightning flashed.

Li Weiyi means at his disposal, finally blasting Chen Song into a charred corpse with the lightning erupting from the Black Iron Seal. Then, he began to search Chen Song's body.

"As expected of the team leader, he actually possesses three mid-grade magic artifacts. The Three Chen Palace has really gone all out."

Li Weiyi found a bound bag in Chen Song's arms; it was undamaged.

Using magical energy to activate the opening, seventeen Crimson Haze Exotic Medicine were retrieved from inside.

"So many? That's wonderful!"

Li Weiyi was overjoyed. After touching Chen Song, he threw his body off a cliff to destroy the evidence and prevent the discovery of the Evil Camel Bell and the Black Iron Seal.

As for the Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors, it didn't matter, since Zuoqiu Ting already knew about them anyway.

Next, he searched through the corpses one by one, finding a large number of Crimson Haze Exotic Medicine, Golden Spring, and magical artifacts.

Unfortunately, they found nothing of the most precious Immortal Soil.

Li Weiyi retrieved the Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors into the Insect Tube and returned to the Giant Stone Statues Forest in high spirits. The money he earned from this one job alone was enough to make him the richest man in the Five Seas Realm.

He secretly considered whether to pull off another heist.

Once outside Thirty-three Li Mountain, Lizhou is teeming with martial arts masters; how could they be as unrestrained as they are now?

Upon returning, Li Weiyi naturally returned the Heavenly Flame Saber immediately.

Sitting on the ground, Zuoqiu Baiming, as if facing imminent disaster, hurriedly said, "I'm like a cripple now, unable to fight anyone. The Heavenly Flame Saber can only be of maximum value if it's still in the hands of Brother Sima. After all, Xue Qi and that Fox Demon from Tianya Ridge are still in the mountains; what if we run into them?"

"That makes sense! It's all cleared up now, let's go, let's go down the mountain now."

Li Weiyi didn't want to waste any more words and carried Shang Zhi's body on his back.

He noticed that Zuoqiu Lanlan seemed preoccupied and reminded her, "Madam Tian, let's go. You carry Senior Brother Baiming on your back!"

Should we go down the mountain now?

Zuoqiu Lanlan asked in a low voice, not daring to meet his eyes.

"Otherwise what?"

Li Weiyi felt bewildered. Did she perhaps intend to continue searching for the Immortal Soil?

Zuoqiu Lanlan watched his retreating figure carrying the corpse and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed she had truly been wrong; if he really harbored ill intentions, why hadn't he acted now?

The two walked down the mountain very quickly, and soon they arrived at Sanli Mountain.

Li Weiyi secretly calculated that once the two of them were brought here, they should be safe!

Next, how should we separate them reasonably?

He dared not see Zuoqiu Ting and planned to leave Thirty-three Li Mountain in another direction.

Zuoqiu Lanlan and Zuoqiu Baiming, who were following behind, became more and more nervous as they went down the mountain, fearing that "Sima Tan" would suddenly react and kill them.

Just as the two of them were on edge, extremely nervous.

Li Weiyi suddenly stopped, slowly turned around, and revealed a smile that seemed extremely eerie to the two of them. He said, "It's safe enough here. You two go first; I have something to attend to."

As he spoke, he took a step back, making way for him.

Zuoqiu Lanlan's face turned deathly pale instantly, and she immediately shook her head vigorously.

Zuoqiu Baiming chuckled dryly, "What is it? Lan Lan can be of some help."

Zuoqiu Lanlan nodded quickly.

Li Weiyi had already prepared his words: "If the people from the Sui Sect and Tianya Ridge come down the mountain, they will definitely pass through here. I plan to ambush them and take advantage of this opportunity to deal with them. I alone am enough; you don't need to stay."

Li Weiyi had both the intention of getting away with it and the idea of making another windfall.

Zuoqiu Lanlan and Zuoqiu Baiming stared intently at him, not daring to take another step forward.

Sima Tan's behavior at this moment was extremely abnormal. If the goal was to hunt down Sui Sect and Tianya Ridge, why did he send them away? It was too deliberate!

Li Weiyi realized what was happening and quickly handed over the Heavenly Flame Saber, saying, "It should be returned to its rightful owner!"

Zuoqiu Baiming dared not accept the offer, feeling that the other party was testing them, or perhaps still hesitating about whether to kill them. Sometimes, the line between good and evil, right and wrong, is drawn in a single thought.

Perhaps it was when he took the knife, or perhaps it was when they descended the mountain.

Zuoqiu Baiming said nervously with a smile, "Brother Sima saved our lives. We have no way to repay him, so we present him with this sword!"

Li Weiyi was surprised, and her impression of Zuoqiu Baiming changed instantly.

He may be somewhat arrogant, but his ability to clearly distinguish between right and wrong is commendable. Who doesn't have some flaws in their character?

Having already saved them, Li Weiyi felt perfectly at ease accepting the reward, and her smile became much more genuine, "I feel you're all too tense. We're very close to the foot of the mountain now, there's nothing to be afraid of. Madam Tian, please!"

Zuoqiu Lanlan put Zuoqiu Baiming down and looked at him with even more sincerity. "We are sworn enemies with the Sui Sect and the Tianya Sect. I will avenge this grudge. We are teammates, we will advance and retreat together, and we will live and die together."

Zuoqiu Baiming said, "That's right. With this bond of life and death, even if we go down the mountain, we will definitely keep Brother Sima's secret and will never reveal a single word to anyone."

"Senior Brother Baiming, your injuries..."

"It's alright, there's no rush to treat it."

Li Weiyi frowned deeply.

Can't you shake them off?

Zuoqiu Baiming so loyal; was there really a misunderstanding about him before?

"Alright, there's still a day before the Xianxia clouds disperse. I reckon Xue Qi and the others won't descend the mountain until tomorrow. You all should focus on recovering from your injuries. I'm going to rest over there for a while."

Li Weiyi carried Shang Zhi's body and walked away into the distance.

I plan to take advantage of this time to consume the Five Seas Pill, open my first Qi Sea, and break through to the Five Seas Realm.

After descending the mountain, you might encounter all sorts of experts. If you can formally enter the Five Seas Realm, even if you don't transform from a fish into a dragon, you'll at least be able to conquer the vast world.

Arriving at a stream, Li Weiyi put the body down and carefully watched Zuoqiu Courtyard and the other person in the distance, making sure that they wouldn't sense the Spatial Power of using the Buddha's Sarira here.

He possesses three treasures that will help him break through to the Five Seas Realm: the Five Seas Pill, the Crimson Haze Exotic Medicine, and the Buddha's Sarira.

But he wanted to try it out on his own first.

The most important thing in breaking through to the Five Seas Realm is to open up the first Qi Sea.

The Qi Sea is like a furnace, possessing the ability to refine magical energy. Magical power surges from the spring, is transported to the Qi Sea for storage, and is refined into purer, higher-grade magical energy. When using martial arts techniques and activating magical artifacts, the power will far surpass that of martial artists in the Spring Realm.

Li Weiyi sat cross-legged, practiced Breathing Technique, and gradually entered a state of tranquility and naturalness.

I am the only one in this world.

The outside world disappeared.

The method for breaking through to the Five Seas Realm had already been taught to him by his Master Urn, and it wasn't complicated.

The ten springs within his body surged one by one, and his magical power entered the one hundred and twenty Trace Meridians, circulating throughout his body. After several cycles, Li Weiyi guided the first Trace Meridians with the Breakthrough Technique, and a branch of the first meridian connected to the first lung lobe.

Next, the second Trace Meridians off into a branch.

The third Trace Meridians off into a branch...

This is a slow and tiring process, where each Trace Meridians must branch out to connect with the future Qi Sea.

These branches are called string bridges.

Like a string on a musical instrument, it connects the Qi Sea and the Trace Meridians.

Once interrupted, all previous efforts will be wasted.

Therefore, many martial arts practitioners need to consume the Five Seas Pill before breaking through to a higher realm to provide sufficient energy and mana support. At the same time, the Five Seas Pill also contains the power to temper the lungs, making it easier to open the Qi Sea.

Far away.

Zuoqiu Baiming glanced at Li Weiyi and transmitted his thoughts using his spiritual energy. "He appears to be meditating, but in reality, he is questioning his own heart. The day ahead will be difficult! His life and death hang in the balance."

"We're very close to the foot of the mountain; if we want to escape, it will only take a moment," Zuoqiu Lanlan said.

Zuoqiu Baiming scoffed, "With his cultivation level, what makes you think he'd sit so far away? Shouldn't he be resting right next to us? He's testing us. If we run away, it means we're guilty. Then he can kill us without any remorse. A person of his character needs a reason to cross the moral line."

"Senior brother, aren't you thinking too deeply? I don't think Sima Tan is that kind of person," Zuoqiu Lanlan said.

Zuoqiu Baiming retorted indignantly, "Your thinking is too shallow. Haven't you paid a heavy price? Don't underestimate human nature. You only have one life. You're just unwilling to pay the price, aren't you? I see you admire him a lot, you almost regard him as a saint!"

"I..."

Zuoqiu Lanlan was torn, plunged into endless pain.

After Li Weiyi completed the construction of 120 branch string bridges, his energy was severely depleted, and he became secretly nervous.

If the breakthrough fails, it will take another year.

Let's begin!

The ten springs within his body surged wildly, and his magical power rushed towards the one hundred and twenty string bridges at top speed. The routes of the string bridges were all different, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, heading straight for the central lung lobe.

At this moment, Li Weiyi's breathing became incredibly long, the surrounding air currents surged, and the branches and leaves swayed.

An unprecedented, intense pain and swelling erupted in my lungs, as if my chest was about to explode.

"Bang! Bang..."

The lungs beat as fast and violently as the heart.

"Boom!"

His body shuddered violently, and all his magical power found an outlet, filling his inner world in his lungs and making it grow ever larger.

"The Qi Sea has been opened!"

Li Weiyi quickly swallowed the Five Seas Pill and a Crimson Haze Exotic Medicine, while simultaneously activating the Spatial Power of the Buddha's Sarira to expand the inner world within his lungs.

He knew that the size of each martial artist's first Qi Sea was different.

The larger the area opened up, the greater the advantage.

Martial artists who break through the Seven Springs and Five Seas almost always only have one Qi Sea in their first stage. Martial artists who break through the Eight Springs and Five Seas can achieve two stages.

The martial arts practitioners who break through the nine springs and five seas start from three directions.

Even at the same cultivation level, the difference in the depth of a martial artist's magical energy can be several times greater. This clearly demonstrates the disparity in combat power.

After three breaths, Li Weiyi's first Qi Sea reached a certain level.

After seven breaths, both sides are reached.

Fifteen minutes later, it expanded to seven units.

The expansion has slowed down and become increasingly difficult.

Because the larger the space of the inner world, the thinner the magical energy within it. Li Weiyi has been continuously mobilizing magical power to transform it, but it is far from enough.

For martial artists at the First Realm of the Five Seas Realm, the process from breaking through the realm to filling their Qi Sea with magical energy, and then to completely refining their magical energy, often takes several months.

Just as Li Weiyi was going all out to break through to the Eighth Direction.

A pair of soft, delicate arms suddenly wrapped around his neck. Someone was sitting in his lap, a fragrance wafted from his nose, and the body felt supple and warm to the touch.

"What's going on?"

Li Weiyi had already released Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors protectors, so how could anyone get close to him?

He had no time to be distracted and continued his assault on the eighth Qi Sea.

"Bang!"

Li Weiyi vaguely sensed that someone had knocked the woman in his arms unconscious. While he was curious, he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then focused all his efforts on breaking through his Qi Sea.

An hour later, the size of the Qi Sea was fixed at ten directions.

Gradually, his consciousness returned to the outside world, and he opened his eyes. He saw Zuoqiu Lanlan lying unconscious in his arms, her clothes disheveled, giving him the feeling of being staged for an accident.

If someone sees this, even jumping into the Sui River won't wash it away.

The enormous Hidden Twenty-Three and a slender figure dressed in the Departed Spirit Human Skin were sitting on a rock a few feet away, communicating telepathically. When he opened his eyes, the two immediately looked over.
