Hidden Lord Has Arrived

The skin of Pure Immortal Body is delicate and smooth, as if transformed into an immortal, with an extraordinary luster that is irresistible to any member of the opposite sex.

Zuoqiu Lanlan, her clothes loose, fainted on his lap, her charm captivating.

Li Weiyi remained calm and composed, gently pushing Zuoqiu Lanlan's face off his shoulder and onto the ground.

He stood up and straightened his slightly disheveled Nightwalker's Robe and Talisman Robe; thankfully, they were thick enough.

"Who did it?" he asked.

Hidden Twenty-Four's voice came from Departed Spirit Human Skin: "See? I told you, I ruined his plans, he'd definitely be angry."

Li Weiyi knew Zuoqiu Lanlan; this noblewoman was extremely proud and wouldn't humiliate herself without reason. He asked, "You did it? What methods? Bewitchment? Talismans? Telekinesis? Illusion?"

Hidden Twenty-Four's eyes showed a blank expression. "You don't think I used some evil method like the Six Desires Talisman to lure her into your arms and make her feel hot, do you? Humph, I just couldn't stand it anymore, so I knocked her out with one punch. Otherwise... it's really..."

"Unbearable to look at."

The Hidden Twenty-Three Bear-like Deformed Humanoid Race.

Li Weiyi felt that Hidden Twenty-Four had no reason to cause trouble; such a joke was not to be taken lightly.

But Zuoqiu Lanlan was such a reserved and dignified woman, and she had just lost her husband and was in the midst of grief. How could she possibly do such a despicable thing?

There must still be some incomprehensible and bizarre things hidden in the Thirty-three Li Mountain.

In the distance Zuoqiu Baiming had already fainted and was lying on the ground.

Li Weiyi's gaze fell on the Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors on the tree. He communicated with them and asked if anything suspicious had happened before.

The Seven Little Ones each gave their own version of events, chattering amongst themselves. Some spoke vaguely, some claimed to have seen two terrifying white figures, and some said that Zuoqiu Lanlan was possessed, like a completely different person, but was very kind to Li Weiyi...

There is no single, universally accepted answer.

Li Weiyi shook his head, not listening to them continue. All seven of them combined didn't even have heads the size of a finger. He slowly walked over and said, "You two knocked her unconscious, yet you still kept her in my arms. Were you deliberately trying to make a fool of me?"

Hidden Twenty-Four said, "Hidden Person, you are mistaken. If we wanted to see a joke, we wouldn't have knocked her unconscious."

"That's not something to be seen," said Hidden Twenty-Three.

Li Weiyi was helpless; continuing the argument would only make things worse. So, he said in a threatening tone, "Right and wrong end here. Once we leave Thirty-three Li Mountain, if I hear about this from a fourth person, and I become Hidden Person, neither of you will escape unscathed."

This was the first time Hidden Twenty-Three had been threatened, and his expression changed drastically before he silently nodded.

Hidden Twenty-Four, however, didn't care. He pointed to Zuoqiu Lanlan on the ground and laughed, "She's the fourth person. Will you kill her, or shall I?"

"She's still useful."

Li Weiyi stopped dwelling on the matter and asked seriously, "How did you two get into Thirty-three Li Mountain? Hidden Twenty-Four, you've broken through to the Second Realm the Five Seas Realm?"

Hidden Twenty-Three said, "The Hidden Lord has arrived! Right here in this Immortal Realm space, he captured a spirit and used the Talisman Robe and human skin he crafted to bring the two of us in. The Hidden Gate also values these rare cultivation resources, such as Immortal Soil, Crimson Haze Exotic Medicine, and Golden Spring."

"Before entering the mountain, Hidden Twenty-Four had already seized two Crimson Haze Exotic Medicine from the martial artists of the Four Great Sects, thus opening up his second Qi Sea."

Martial cultivators from the Five Seas Realm gathered in the Immortal Realm in large numbers, the vast majority of whom came for the Crimson Haze Exotic Medicine, seeking to break through their realm quickly.

Hidden Twenty-Three was quite envious, but there was nothing he could do. Hidden Twenty-Four had somehow obtained a high-level Blood Refined Magic Tool, making his combat power extremely astonishing. He even managed to defeat one of the Five Seas Realm Third Stage experts from the Sui Sect.

He doesn't possess such a powerful treasure.

A lead at one step leads to a lead at every step.

The gap will only widen.

This is why martial arts practitioners are willing to fight tooth and nail for a single treasure.

Is this a treasure?

This is changing one's fate!

Departed Spirit Human Skin, Hidden Twenty-Four stood with his hands behind his back, chin tilted to the side, and said calmly, "Only the Second Realm of the Five Seas Realm. If I can gather four or five more of the same type of Crimson Haze Exotic Medicine, it's possible to open up a third Qi Sea in a short time. Only by reaching the third stage can one be considered to have initially entered the ranks of the top experts of the younger generation in Lizhou."

She has the mentality of a young girl; once she achieves even a little success, she becomes arrogant and conceited.

Li Weiyi smiled and shook his head, asking, "How long have you been in the mountains? How many rare herbs have you collected?"

Hidden Twenty-Three said, "We've only been in the mountains for a day, and the Crimson Haze Exotic Medicine at the foot of Jiuli Mountain have almost all been harvested by the martial artists at the Spring Realm of various sects. We've only found two so far. One can help Pure Immortal Body transform, and the other can help open up the Qi Sea."

"We originally planned to go to Jiuli Mountain, but halfway there, Hidden Twenty-Four discovered your footprints and followed them here."

Li Weiyi looked at Hidden Twenty-Four in surprise. "You're not simple. You even silently remembered details like my footprints."

"Not only footprints, but also the lingering aura emanating from Shang Zhi's corpse remains in the air," said Hidden Twenty-Four.

In Thirty-three Li Mountain, Li Weiyi was highly skilled and daring. He didn't deliberately try to cover his tracks, so it wasn't surprising that she was being tracked down.

Hidden Twenty-Four asked, "And you, how much of the Crimson Haze Exotic Medicine did you collect?"

"I entered the mountains half a day earlier than you, and I haven't made any progress yet," Li Weiyi said with a helpless, bitter smile.

Hidden Twenty-Four coldly said, "I went to the edge of the Qi barrier of the Spring Realm. Yao Yin said that you seized quite a few rare medicines from the Spring Realm martial artists of various forces. What she and Hidden Twenty-Five seized are all with you."

Hidden Twenty-Three looked at Li Weiyi with eager eyes.

Li Weiyi changed the subject, asking, "Has the road from the Five Seas Realm to Yaoguan City been opened?"

" With Hidden Nine and Cangli making their move, who below the Dao Seed Realm can stand against them? The Jiu Li Tribe's Spring Realm martial cultivators should have already withdrawn by now, so you don't need to worry about that side," Hidden Twenty-Three said.

Hidden Twenty-Four said, "I have already consumed two rare herbs that helped me transform into Pure Immortal Body, and have cultivated into Half-Immortal Body. However, to break through to the Second Realm the Five Seas Realm, I will probably need three more herbs to complete the transformation into Pure Immortal Body."

Li Weiyi asked Hidden Twenty-Three, "I expected that things outside would be in turmoil, with everything turning upside down. At this critical juncture, why did Hidden Lord come to the Immortal Realm instead?"

Hidden Twenty-Three said, "The Hidden Lord didn't tell us, but I suspect he came here for more than just the opportunities and treasures; he must have something else on his mind. Let's go pay him a visit when we go down the mountain!"

Hidden Twenty-Four walked up to Li Weiyi and whispered almost in his ear, "You owe me a favor. If I hadn't intervened, the consequences would have been unimaginable. You would probably have had to marry into the Zuoqiu Courtyard to settle things. Asking for three Crimson Haze Exotic Medicine is not unreasonable at all."

Li Weiyi finally fixed his gaze on her. "Exotic medicine! Exotic medicine... Don't just think about getting something for nothing. How much does one exotic medicine cost? Go ask Hidden Twenty-Five; he bought one from me."

"However, there is now an opportunity to seize the exotic medicine. I didn't want to share it with you; I could have done it myself. But since you're here, why not lend a hand and try to wipe them all out, leaving no one alive?"

"But let me make this clear from the start: each of you will only receive three Crimson Haze Exotic Medicine. The rest—herbs, magical artifacts, Golden Spring, Immortal Soil —will all belong to me."

The reason Li Weiyi was willing to offer such a generous price was that he suddenly realized he might have underestimated the insight and wisdom of a Five Seas Realm expert.

Once Xue Qi and his men discover that the entire army at the Three Chen Palace and Coffin Mountain has been wiped out, they will be extremely cautious when descending the mountain.

Or you can take another route down the mountain.

Trying to ambush them by waiting passively is foolish; the prey is unlikely to be that stupid.

Li Weiyi then told the two of their plans to hunt and rob.

Hidden Twenty-Three was shocked, thinking he had misheard, "Ambush the Four Great Sects and Tianya Ridge? You mean, ambush them all on the way down the mountain? I think ambushing some martial artists at the Spring Realm will suffice!"

"Be ambitious; this is a very rare opportunity," Li Weiyi said.

Hidden Twenty-Four said, "That's impossible! Chen Song, Di Ran, and Xue Qi are either Pure Immortal Body or Nine Springs Perfected Person. I can easily take down one of them using the Three-headed Snake Blood Soul. But the other two, along with the Demon Race experts from Tianya Ridge, will definitely take this opportunity to kill you and Hidden Twenty-Three. How long can you hold out?"

"Do you think I'm trying to rely on you?"

Li Weiyi took off his Nightwalker's Robe and tossed them to her. "Put these on, go scout the mountain, and report back immediately once they come down. That's your mission."

"By the way, be careful. There's an unknown creature with a giant humanoid head on the mountain. If you encounter it, run away immediately."

Hidden Twenty-Four stared at Li Weiyi repeatedly. She, a dignified Perfected Person at the Second Realm of the Five Seas Realm, was being sent to be a scout? She asked with a smile, "So confident, you've broken through to the Five Seas Realm?"

Li Weiyi smiled and said, "Whether or not you've broken through to the Five Seas Realm, defeating you shouldn't be difficult."

"Snort!"

Hidden Twenty-Four donned Nightwalker's Robe that covered his entire body, raised his Half-Immortal Body, snow-white, jade-like arm revealing Three-headed Snake Bracelet: "Do I have snakes?"

She vanished into thin air and headed up the mountain.

"Although she has a bit of a temper, she's still obedient."

Li Weiyi's gaze fell on Zuoqiu Lanlan, who was lying on the ground with her clothes disheveled, and he quickly called out, "Don't go yet, put her clothes back on."

Li Weiyi dispatched Hidden Twenty-Three to escort the unconscious Zuoqiu Courtyard and his companion down the mountain. He then practiced the Jade Void Breathing Technique, entering a state of tranquility where he felt utterly alone, and introspectively focused on his first Qi Sea.

A tiny lung lobe has opened up a vast internal world, like a slightly irregular transparent cloud.

The walls of the Qi Sea were tinged with a layer of celestial glow, shimmering with iridescent light.

The internal energy layer is only thin, less than half a square meter.

This was the instant of breaking through the realm; magical power surged in and transformed.

Even now, with all ten springs surging together and magical power continuously flowing in and transforming from the one hundred and twenty meridians, the rate of increase is still quite slow.

"It will probably take three or four days of cultivation to transform one Qi Sea. To break through to the second Qi Sea, the first one must be cultivated to perfection first. Otherwise, rushing things will only lead to failure."

Like laying bricks and stacking wood, it is tedious, simple, and repetitive, but it is an essential process for building a towering skyscraper.

What Li Weiyi didn't know was that his Tenth Spring Divine Que was extraordinary, gushing out liquid magic power, enough to increase cultivation speed to an unbelievable level.

Those martial artists who have broken through seven springs and five seas only have one square dantian in their first Qi Sea, and it still takes them two or three months to cultivate it to perfection.

He only needs three or four days to cultivate a single technique, which is dozens of times faster.

"After breaking through to the next realm, the purity of my magical energy has indeed improved. However, it is still gaseous, not liquid, and not as good as the Divine Palace."

Li Weiyi released his mental power and entered the Blood Mud Space to ask Master Urn about the method of refining the magical energy in his Qi Sea.

Master Urn's voice came. "Once you break through to the Fifth Sea of Qi, your magical energy will have already undergone its first transformation at that moment. However, to open a second Qi Sea, you must rely on the magical energy within the first Qi Sea."

"Therefore, before attempting to break through to the Second Realm of the Five Seas Realm, one must fill the first Qi Sea with Dharma Qi and further refine and upgrade its grade."

Li Weiyi asked, "You keep mentioning the grades of magical energy, but what exactly are the grades of magical energy?"
