Saving Someone Was More Profitable Than Killing Them

The martial arts practitioners of Zuoqiu Courtyard failed to find Zuoqiu Qingying, but they did find a large amount of her blood in a field. It was obvious that she was in grave danger.

Their murderous aura was overwhelming. Thirty Tiger Camel Army experts formed Hundred Character Battle Formation, surrounding the four members of the Fourth Divine Son.

A battle ensued.

In the midst of battle, a bearded Daoist -Dao Seed Realm commander unleashed a sixth-grade Hundred Character Scripture Magic Tool, the "Compass."

Thirty Tiger Camel Army experts each unleashed a beam of magical energy, and instantly, the compass rose into the air, transforming into the size of a millstone, releasing scorching light, and spinning outwards, crushing the Dao Heart Manifestation supported by the Fourth Divine Son inch by inch.

Knowing the power of the battle formation, the Fourth Divine Son's expression changed drastically. He retreated rapidly, releasing a staff-shaped magical artifact from his ancestral field while also summoning Wang Zhi.

Although Wang Zhi is dead, the spirit within him is extremely powerful, and is the Fourth Divine Son's strongest trump card.

On the surface, Wang Zhi appeared no different from a normal person, but he unleashed an unpredictable speed, bypassing the compass, spreading his claws, tearing through the array's light barrier, and charging into the battle formation.

His combat strength is far greater than that of the Fourth Divine Son.

Screams of agony echoed through the battlefield.

The Tiger Camel Army's experts were either knocked away by Wang Zhi or directly killed with a palm strike; it was nothing short of a massacre.

Li Weiyi used Disguise Art to emerge from underground. With a wave of his arm, he released a thick cloud of magical energy from his palm, which enveloped the coffin placed on the ground.

Then, he activated the Provincial Governor's Official Robe again, which transformed into a cloud of purple mist and light, disappearing from the spot.

The whole process happened in the blink of an eye.

Several dozen feet away, the Fourth Divine Son saw the purple mist and sensed the spatial fluctuations, but he was unable to escape and could only watch helplessly as the other party snatched the coffin and fled.

At the same time, he was very wary, fearing that the other party was an elder of the Jiu Li Hidden Gate.

The Lingxiao Shengjing has two worlds.

One is the surface world, the other is the underground world.

On the surface world, humans, Demon Race, strange beasts, cursed monsters, the dead... all kinds of races compete freely, and each era has its own overlord and form of civilization.

The underground world is generally hundreds of meters below ground, with the deepest reaching tens of thousands of meters. Here, Blood River of all sizes flow eternally, crisscrossing and fraught with countless dangers.

On the surface, each area is clearly defined, and underground, there are also forbidden zones and overlords.

Many of these places are insectoid lairs; once you disturb them, even if you escape back to the surface, you will be hunted down by the swarm.

The underground is dangerous, but it often becomes the best escape route for those who have nowhere else to turn.

Li Weiyi carried the coffin on his shoulder, his feet stepping on clouds of magical energy, and ran wildly across an underground Blood River about two hundred meters above the ground, each step covering several meters.

The Great Phoenix led the way, while the Second Phoenix brought up the rear.

Their feathers and membranous wings fluttered together, radiating a dazzling light.

Li Weiyi didn't believe that escaping underground would guarantee safety. For Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator, moving freely between the surface and the ground was perfectly acceptable. As long as they didn't accidentally stumble upon the nests of Commander-class Mysterious Insect or certain special restricted areas, they would be fine.

They fled north for two or three hundred miles.

Li Weiyi's magical energy was severely depleted, and he felt that it would be difficult for the enemy to track him down in the densely branching underground passages. So, he took out the Magic Tool Jade Boat, landed in it, put down the coffin on his shoulder, and floated on the three-zhang-wide underground Blood River.

On the stone walls along both sides of the river, many ferocious insects emitting green, blue, and red glows lay prostrate.

Intimidated by the aura of the Phoenix Wing Moth Emperor, they dared not attack the jade boat.

After taking a moment to catch his breath, Li Weiyi looked at the purplish-black coffin with a trembling heart.

"Whoosh!"

Push the coffin lid open.

The Second Phoenix Great Phoenix, their radiance illuminating the darkness as they peered into the coffin.

The woman with the Pure Immortal Body in the coffin had awakened. Her body was roughly bound, her face was purplish-black, and bloodstains were hanging from her mouth and nose. Her eyes were filled with tension and fear.

Upon seeing the face of the person who opened the coffin, she was slightly taken aback, but then a look of joy appeared on her face.

Although she had always disliked Li Weiyi, she had to admit that Li Weiyi was a hero of his time. Even if... this hero had become decadent and self-destructive...

But it's definitely much better than falling into a cult.

Li Weiyi was quite surprised, but also felt much relieved. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "You're that woman of Lu Cangsheng from the Thunder Lu Cangsheng Lei Xiao Sect..."

Li Weiyi couldn't remember what her name was.

But I have a strong impression of her.

Her cultivation and talent were both strong, and her figure and appearance were second only to Zuoqiu Hongting and Jiang Ning. Even though she had been beaten to such a miserable state, her beauty was still evident. Her breasts, as round as inverted jade bowls, and her slender waist and legs were more than what ordinary beauties possessed.

But she's very arrogant, and seems... not very smart!

Li Weiyi had a rather stereotypical impression of her. After all, on his first day in Qiuzhou, in Immortal Forest, she looked down on him, calling Li Weiyi "mediocre without realizing it."

The key point is that Li Weiyi didn't provoke her at all, and didn't even look at her.

This is a woman who can attract hatred for herself!

Li Weiyi strongly suspected that if it weren't for her beauty, Lu Cangsheng would never have kept her by his side; he would have left long ago.

Open the coffin lid completely.

The woman in the coffin had bloodstains all over her slender yet voluptuous body, clearly indicating that she had been brutally beaten by Long Ting for a long time. She survived only because Long Ting felt that he hadn't taken enough revenge.

After untying the ropes binding her, Li Weiyi saw that she was still lying motionless in the coffin, so he asked, "Where are you injured? Can you still speak?"

Tears welled up in Qin Qian's eyes, and she bit her lip, sobbing with extreme grievance.

"What? Did Long Ting bully you?" Li Weiyi's eyes showed pity.

"No, don't talk nonsense... cough cough... He was extremely ruthless. He broke many of my bones, and my internal organs were severely damaged. He sealed my Nine Springs Acupoints and Five Seas with the Dragon Gate Secret Technique, so I can't mobilize my magical energy to heal... I can't move at all now..."

As she spoke, blood gushed from Qin Qian's mouth again, and her full, rounded chest heaved violently.

Seeing her in such a pitiful state, Li Weiyi felt inexplicably happy. He crossed his arms and asked, "Why didn't you return to the Lei Xiao Sect? Why did you fall into the hands of the Long Ting? Where is Lu Cangsheng? He can't even protect his own woman. What is he doing?"

Qin Qian was too badly injured to talk to Li Weiyi, so she closed her eyes and said, "Help me remove the seal on my Qi Sea first! If I say another word now, my injuries will worsen."

"Alright!"

Li Weiyi's hand reached towards her chest, where her lungs were located.

After thinking about it, he immediately withdrew his decision.

He grabbed her left wrist, pointed a finger at the "Laogong" acupoint in her palm, and infused it with magical energy.

This is one of the nine great springs; once the seal is broken, some of its magical power can be mobilized.

Qin Qian screamed in agony, her whole body convulsing and trembling.

It turned out that the bones in his left hand had been broken by Long Ting, and Li Weiyi's lifting of them caused the bones to become severely dislocated.

Amidst the pain, a warm, tingling sensation flowed from her palm, breaking the seal on the Laogong acupoint of her left hand. Li Weiyi placed her arm back into the coffin.

Next, massage the "Laogong" acupoint on the palm of your right hand, the "Yongquan" acupoint on the soles of both feet, and the "Baihui" acupoint on the top of your head.

Li Weiyi helped her up and sat her in the coffin, attempting to remove the seal on the Wind Mansion behind her head. As soon as he injected his magical energy, the inner world barrier of the Wind Mansion showed signs of collapse, startling him so much that he quickly withdrew his hand.

"What a strange technique. We can't break it with brute force. Use the Five Springs magic power that you've already unleashed to heal your wounds, and I'll think about it."

Li Weiyi threw her into the coffin, lay down himself, and then sat at the bow of the boat.

Qin Qian pondered for a moment and then understood. The reason why Li Weiyi did not help her unblock the Zutian, Tanzhong, Zhongshu, and Wuhai points was because these locations were too special, requiring the removal of Magic Tool Martial Robe, and even touching some private parts.

"Unexpectedly, this guy has a bit of a gentlemanly air about him, which is quite different from the rumors," she thought to herself.

Little did she know, Li Weiyi was simply too lazy to cause trouble, lest she have something to say to Lu Cangsheng. After all, Qin Qian wasn't very bright, and if she accidentally let something slip, it would be an undeserved disaster.

To be able to repay evil with kindness and save her is already an act of compassion.

While claiming to be thinking about how to break the seal, Li Weiyi quickly began Breathing and Exhaling to replenish the magical energy depleted in her Qi Sea.

Both Tuoba Butuo of the Northern Territory and Long Ting possessed formidable auras.

Clearly, by using the Dragon Path, their cultivation level increases at an astonishing rate.

We are constantly improving, gradually leaving our predecessors and sages behind.

No wonder Qi Xiao was willing to risk his life to fight for a Dragon Seed Ticket at the Qianlong Lantern Festival.

This is a true treasure that can change your destiny!

Perhaps they really can achieve immortality in ten years, or even several years.

Li Weiyi felt a strong sense of urgency. After finishing his meditation, he took Zuo Shi's body out of the storage bag and searched for valuable items.

The second-grade Hundred Character Armor Protective Armor is worth nearly 100,000 Spring Coin.

Inside the bag were several thousand Spring Coin and three jade bottles containing medicinal liquid.

Apart from that, there was nothing else of value.

Exploring the ancestral land...

He failed to cultivate the ancestral field, thus he was a Dao Seed Realm of Inferior Root.

"After a hundred years of cultivation, you're still so poor? You don't even have a single offensive magic weapon?"

Li Weiyi remained silent, then threw Zuo Shi's corpse into the Blood River to feed the ferocious insects underground.

Little did he know that these Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivators, who were already quite old, possessed Dao techniques honed over many years and had no need for offensive magical artifacts. Only a hundred-character artifact of extremely high grade could significantly boost their combat power.

For them, purchasing medicines to delay aging and maintain blood circulation and vitality constitutes the largest portion of their expenses.

Li Weiyi opened the three jade bottles to examine them.

Qin Qian smelled the exotic fragrance emanating from the jade bottle and opened her eyes from her healing state. "That's the Life Spiritual Spring. In Thousand Mile Mountain, a small bottle costs ten thousand Spring Coin. Can... can I take a bottle?"

She paused, then said, "Consider it an obligation I owe you ten thousand Spring Coin."

Seeing that she lacked any social skills, Li Weiyi had no choice but to awkwardly say, "The same medicine has different prices at different times."

Qin Qian gritted her teeth, hating him to death.

This guy actually took advantage of the chaos!

But then he remembered that he had suggested suppressing him at the Qianlong Lantern Festival...

If we really want to settle the score, this is a very difficult matter to settle.

She suppressed her anger. "What price do you think we should sell it for?"

"One hundred thousand Spring Coin!" Li Weiyi was short of money recently, and Yin Er still owed him five hundred thousand Spring Coin.

Qin Qian Qianxiu's eyes widened. "So expensive, why don't you just rob us?"

"The Life Spiritual Spring 20,000 Spring Coin, and saving you costs 80,000 Spring Coin. You're only worth 100,000 Spring Coin because you're Lu Cangsheng's woman. What's so expensive about that? When Lu Wensheng and I were dueling, he didn't even blink when betting on Thousand-Year Elixir. It's up to you, take it or leave it," Li Weiyi said.

"Fine, give it to me! Li Weiyi... you... you really are a scoundrel. I even thought you were a decent person just now... cough cough..." Qin Qian was so angry that she spat out two more mouthfuls of blood.

Li Weiyi made her open her mouth and gave her a bottle of the Life Spiritual Spring.

Qin Qian hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Could you help me straighten and set my bones? I have several broken ribs, and my arm bone too..."

"Ten thousand Spring Coin per stick," Li Weiyi said.

She forced a smile and said, "Get out!"

Without paying, Li Weiyi turned and left, silently calculating in his mind. "Sure enough, it's the same in every world. Saving people is always more profitable than killing them, and it also cultivates a conscience. Fighting and killing only earns small sums, and it's a one-off deal... Hmm..."

Li Weiyi was in high spirits, believing he had grasped the secret to getting rich.

He released all Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors to guard the jade boat, and then opened the box that Tang Wanzhou had given him.

"Whoosh!"

A soft glow emanated from the box.

The Spiritual Platform Blazing Star Stone Fragment, only the size of a grain of rice, were crystal clear and shone brightly, illuminating both banks of the underground river.

Its aura is exactly as described by the Spirit Tablet Master, so it must be true.

Li Weiyi didn't want to delay any longer. Now that he was safe for the time being, he prepared to immediately condense his Psychic Power Stars and attempt to break through to the Mind Master.

Once you become Mind Master, you can rival Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator by relying on your mental power.

"Splash!"

The spiritual realm between his brows brightened, overflowing with numerous particles of spiritual light that rained down on the ship like a shower of light.

These particles of spiritual light spun, forming a small vortex that pulled the Spiritual Platform Blazing Star Stone Fragment in his hand into it.

The next moment.

A rice-grain-sized fragment of the Flame Star Stone floated in the center of the spirit realm, which was about one foot square.
