The method of ' Startle Awakening ' is precious, so the three of them dared not be distracted and quickly focused on memorizing what Lin Yi said.
After the technique was taught, all three of them showed joy and were immersed in comprehending the ' Startle Awakening ' technique.
Although Lin Yi's improved method of ' Startle Awakening ' is easier to cultivate than the Ji Family's method, it is not easy to master.
It takes a considerable amount of time to go from the initial emergence of ' Startle Awakening ' to its full development.
Given their talent, it might take them several months to several years to break through to the Three-star Warrior.
At this moment, Lin Yi interrupted the three of them, saying, "Alright, next, let's talk about how to sell resources in the Outer Domain of Tong Pass to obtain Source Stone..."
Time flew by, and three days later...
Over the course of these three days, people from Outer Domain of Tong Pass were all amazed.
There was nothing special about it; a new trading company had opened in a corner of a street in the Outer Domain.
This trading company, named "Wuyou," sells various fine wines, rare in the Outer Domain of Tong Pass, as well as a variety of cloths, silks, and grains.
Most importantly, it's cheap and affordable.
To the uninitiated, this trading company was a boon to those Outsider Tong Pass. Some elders from Outer Domain of Tong Pass speculated that the company must have been guided by a master from the Ancient Domain, otherwise it would have been impossible for it to survive.
In the afternoon, the light was just right, and the sunlight was lovely.
Inside a luxurious courtyard training ground in the mountains and forests of the Outer Domain.
A burly man in black, with broad shoulders and a thick back, leaped down from about a hundred plum blossom stakes, panting heavily.
There were many people standing outside the training ground, all of them were Star Warriors.
As for the man in black, he was none other than Wu Di, a powerful figure in the Outer Domain of Tong Pass and Three-star Warrior.
Wu Di wiped the sweat from his body with a cloth and casually tossed it to the servant beside him. "How's the investigation of the Wu You Merchant Guild going? Where exactly did their supplies come from?"
One of the men, Guan Heyu, dressed in black, said, "Reporting to Guild Leader Wu, we have investigated the people from that merchant guild. The leader is Ren Hei Xiong, whom you sent out, and the two lone wolves named Wu Qiu and Tian Wu Ying. However, we have difficulty tracing the source of the merchant guild's supplies; they seem to have appeared out of thin air."
Wu Di frowned. "I don't believe that supplies can appear out of thin air. Keep investigating! Our Outer Domain of Tong Pass is surrounded by the Demon Domain, the Forbidden Land, and the Ancient Domain. Even if they can fly, they can't possibly send supplies from other places."
Another person in the crowd spoke up, " Guild Leader Wu, that Ren Hei Xiong is your subordinate. Why don't we summon him and ask him what happened?"
Wu Di glanced at him. "Are you stupid or am I stupid? Ren Hei Xiong knows my identity and the background behind me, but he still didn't hesitate to side with Wu Qiu and the people behind Tian Wu Ying. Do you think he's afraid of me?"
"Well... then why don't we lure him out first, and then we can capture him together? If we let Wu You Merchant Guild stay open for a few more days, we probably won't have much profit this month."
Wu Di shook his head and said, "No, Ren Hei Xiong is quite strong. Even I'm not 100% confident I can take him down... Forget it, it's probably useless for you to handle this. In a few days, it will be the end of the month. I will meet with the magistrate in the Ancient Domain and ask for his opinion before making a decision... But I'm afraid that the person behind the Wu You Merchant Guild is also a magistrate in the Ancient Domain. That would be troublesome."
The only auction house in the market center Outer Domain of Tong Pass is located in a small attic on the first floor.
Dong Tianlang frowned as he read the Secret Letter from the Ancient Domain, muttering to himself, "This Deputy General general really thinks highly of me, sending me to the West Mountain Southern Domain to inquire about the whereabouts of the Qian Family Squad."
"Shopkeeper, should we send someone to investigate? After all, this is the idea of Deputy General Nanshan. He is the powerful general guarding the Seventeenth Tong Pass."
"Investigate! We can't give an explanation without investigating. Go and recruit a few martial artists with good Lightness Skill and have them investigate deep into the West Mountain Southern Domain. Regardless of whether there are any results, we need to give them an answer as soon as possible."
"Yes, I'll go take care of it then..."
Dong Tianlang suddenly realized something. "Wait, Wu You Merchant Guild?"
"This... I'm still investigating."
"Have Wu Di's men made any moves?"
"No, they seem to have been investigating the background of the Wu You Merchant Guild these past few days, but they haven't found anything. Manager, Wu You Merchant Guild's large-scale sale of goods in exchange for Source Stone also affects our auction house. Perhaps..."
Dong Tianlang frowned. "Don't rush. Wu Di is probably even more eager than we are to find out the background of these people. He hasn't made a move, so we don't need to. By the way, it's the end of the month, and the Auction about to start again. Go and send an invitation to the Wu You Merchant Guild Company as well. I want to see their true worth..."
In Lin Yi's private training room in Tianshui City, a powerful aura of a Four-star Warrior spread out, startling the birds of half of Tianshui City.
Inside the city, Tian Mohan, Tian Wuhe, and the others, who had already begun cultivating the ' Startle Awakening ' technique, seemed to sense something and looked up. However, seeing that the aura was coming Ancient Pool Village the Side Courtyard of the Gutan Village residence, they paid no further attention.
Since Deputy City Lord Lin arrived these past two days, the powerful and dangerous aura of Four-star Warrior has been leaking out every few hours, and they have already gotten used to it.
At this moment, Lin Yi sat cross-legged, his whole body radiating golden light, like a martial god.
After a short while, he slowly opened his eyes, and a stream of hot air came out of his mouth.
" My Flesh Ascension ten levels, my True Qi Ladder eight levels, and my Martial Dao Will has only climbed one level. I never expected that after cultivating and Fusion Martial Saint Method, my Flesh Realm has improved the fastest!"
If you look closely at Lin Yi's body under the Golden Light Cloak, you can see that Lin Yi's physical body has been strengthened several times over compared to before.
Just three days ago, after obtaining those eighty-two Source Stone, he took another thirty Source Stone from Ren Hei Xiong's savings accumulated over the years and used them to extract two Golden Talent for himself.
A Golden Talent called [ Innate Meridian Connection ] granted Lin Yi the physique of Hundred Meridians Open and his True Qi flowing freely.
Furthermore, with each breath Lin Yi took, his true True Qi rapidly increased.
Relying on his innate talent of " Innate Meridian Connection," Lin Yi ascended from the fourth level of True Qi Ladder to the eighth level of True Qi Ladder in one breath.
True Qi Ladder means that Lin Yi's True Qi value is a full eight thousand points.
It can be said that if Lin Yi continues to cultivate with this talent, it won't be long before he can reach the perfect stage of the True Qi Ascension Method and possess 12,000 True Qi points.
As for the second Golden Talent, it is Ren Hei Xiong's talent [ Mystic Gold Demonic Body ].
[ Mystic Gold Demonic Body - Gold]: A rare physical talent. The stronger the physical body, the greater the talent's amplification. Furthermore, with age, the physical strength and defense will increase endlessly...
Looking at the talent description, Lin Yi decisively removed the " Excellent Luck " talent and solidified the " Mystic Gold Demonic Body " talent.
Of course, this physical talent did not disappoint Lin Yi.
Originally, he relied on the power of the stars to temper his body every day without interruption, and even swallowed several four-star Demon King hearts from the West Mountain Southern Domain to raise his Flesh Ascension realm to the seventh level. However, unexpectedly, under the support of the [ Mystic Gold Demonic Body ], his physical strength doubled, causing his Body Ascension Method to directly reach perfection.
The Martial Saint Fusion Method is already more than halfway complete. Once Lin Yi's physical body reaches its limit, he can be considered half-step Martial Saint. Furthermore, his Sequence techniques also have strength approaching that of Demigod.
With the combined power of the two, even without relying on the Thunder Punishment Eye as a trump card, Lin Yi could rival a typical Martial Saint Demigod.
It can be said that only when Lin Yi infiltrated the Ancient Domain did he truly gain the ability to protect himself.
However, based on the information he found Outer Domain of Tong Pass, the Ancient Domain people were very strict in checking the information of all those who entered the domain.
Anyone who is not Martial Artist will be killed if they enter!
Legend has it that Born One, it will be killed if it enters the palace!
A person of vile character and devoid of any sense of justice, who will be killed if he enters the enemy camp!
In short, anyone who is not from the Ancient Domain will be discriminated against and will not be allowed to use the base after entering.
In fact, with Lin Yi Yi's abilities, he could easily have crossed the thousand-meter-high city wall of Tong Pass and infiltrated the Ancient Domain.
However, when he saw that even the Barbarian God couldn't cross Tong Pass that day and was scared away by a single sword strike, he knew that the Ancient Domain Tongguan Tong Pass City Wall might not be just for show, and that rushing in would most likely expose his identity.
As Born One who had annihilated the entire Qian Family of the Ancient Domain, Lin Yi knew that if he revealed his true abilities, it would likely attract the attention of the true masters of the Ancient Domain to come and besiege him.
If we haven't yet grasped the true strength of the Ancient Domain, there's no need to take risks.
The most urgent task is to utilize the Source Stone resources in the Outer Domain of Tong Pass to develop and replace them with more advanced talents, so that it is possible to reach the Five-Star Professional level in a short period of time.
Only then did Lin Yi have the confidence to deal with everything.
On Kongming Mountain, Demon House, Lin Yi and Kong Shan Shui were studying the Martial Dao Supreme Treasure, the Twelve Tong Passes.
Kong Shan Shui is preparing some kind of material to suppress the spiritual energy carried by the Twelve Tong Passes.
" Tongguan Treasure! It's truly amazing that you managed to find such a treasure!"
Lin Yi asked doubtfully, " Master Shan Shui, what is the origin of these Twelve Tong Passes?"
"As for its origin, there's a story to tell. There are twelve of these items in total, namely the First Tong Pass, the Second Tong Pass, and so on. They were all crafted using special techniques to control the Earth Veins and build Martial Dao Supreme Treasure. Among them, the Twelve Tong Passes is responsible for guarding the twelfth Tong Pass Martial Dao Supreme Treasure in this Ancient Domain."
"Refined using a special method? What method?"
Logically speaking, Lin Yi possesses the [ Master Craftsman ] talent, which allows him to trace back to the source and return to the origin.
He has been studying the Twelve Tong Passes Tongguan for some time now, but he can't figure out any of the refining principles, which is really strange.
Kong Shan Shui recalled, "I don't know either. According to my master, the Twelve Tong Passes were forged by the founder of the Ancient Domain, the Gu Xianhe Pioneer. He not only reached the peak of martial arts, but was also a Master Craftsman with exceptional talent. The Twelve Tong Passes were forged by him using some method."
Gu Xianhe?
Lin Yi had also heard of this person. It was said that this was the first person to rule in the Ancient Domain, and that this person had existed for hundreds of thousands of years.
All the rules and regulations of the Ancient Domain were left behind by this person at the very beginning.
So, these Twelve Tong Passes have been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years?
As Lin Yi, he saw the ingredients for the Kong Shan Shui Concentration Powder explode instantly, releasing a foul-smelling, pungent black smoke.
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow and said, " Master Shan Shui, what you're saying..."
Kong Shan Shui coughed to cover his embarrassment. "Don't rush, I want to try again. Do you really think that an ancient Artifact Spirit that has lived for hundreds of thousands of years is so easy to control..."
