Even He Binji and the others, slow-witted as they were, should have realized by now that Xu Yi was no True Essence First Turn cultivator.
Since he was not at True Essence First Turn, yet could fool a True Essence Second Turn cultivator, his cultivation level was obvious: at least True Essence Third Turn.
Anyone at True Essence Third Turn was a mighty figure in their own right, someone whose name resounded across a region—a peerless powerhouse in every sense.
Xu Yi waved his hand. "There's no need for such formalities, everyone. It's fate that brought us together on this journey. Make yourselves at ease." With that, he turned to He Binji. "Brother He, how much longer will it take to cross the boundary point from here?"
He Binji's brows jumped. "Does Senior intend to hunt Origin People here?"
Xu Yi nodded. He Binji said, "May I ask if Senior is completely confident? Origin People are dangerous and must not be underestimated!"
Xu Yi replied, "I can keep myself safe. Don't worry, Brother He."
He Binji said, "In that case, allow me to offer Senior a crucial piece of advice: within the limits of your abilities, kill as many Origin People as you can. It will bring Senior indescribable benefits when you enter Earth Pillar Hall."
Seeing Xu Yi reveal such profound cultivation, He Binji's thoughts had shifted once more. He no longer saw Xu Yi merely as someone he could use; instead, he sincerely wished to befriend him. That was why he offered advice that did not even serve his own interests.
Under normal circumstances, he should have advised Xu Yi to pass through the boundary point as soon as possible, so they could seize the initiative in their search for the Black Light Treasure in Mystic Desolation Hall.
