Ling Yi swore that in his two lifetimes, which combined amounted to over a hundred years, he had never seen such a beautiful woman, so beautiful that she was almost unreal.
At least now Ling Yi has gained some understanding of the Immortal Cultivation Realm, knowing that cultivators have an opportunity to reshape their bodies when breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm or Tribulation Transcendence.
Everyone has a love for beauty, regardless of gender. When getting a makeover, people naturally want to look as good and handsome as possible.
But there's a limit to this. Take this woman in front of me, for example. She's been made to look too perfect, which makes her seem fake and lacking in human warmth.
"So you are Yan Wuji son?" the woman asked.
Ling Yi neither admitted nor denied it.
His relationship with Old Man Yan was quite peculiar. Although he was raised by Old Man Yan, he never called Old Man Yan "father".
After all, he was a transmigrator, and he brought his own memories with him. However, when he transmigrated, his body was shrunk to the size of an infant.
He had lived for over forty years in his previous life, so the thought of suddenly having to recognize another godfather felt incredibly awkward.
Therefore, Ling Yi always addressed Old Man Yan simply as "Old Man".
After all, Ling Yi didn't know Old Man Yan's name at that time, and Old Man Yan had never told Ling Yi his identity.
If Ling Yi hadn't read the " Illusory Demon Sect Diary," he wouldn't have known the old man's surname was Yan.
Old Man Yan took Ling Yi along purely to Passing Time. After all, his lifespan was coming to an end, and he had picked up an infant before he died, so he raised him, but only for fun.
To be honest, the feelings between the two weren't that deep.
Now, suddenly a woman appears and asks if he is Old Man Yan's adopted son?
Ling Yi genuinely couldn't admit it.
"I've come to retrieve what Yan Wuji left behind."
" The Illusory Demon Sect Diary " and " The Illusory Demon Art "?
Before Old Man Yan left, he left behind these two most valuable things.
These two items had lost their value to Ling Yi, but Ling Yi could not admit that he knew of their existence.
Who knows if this woman will silence him?
Although Ling Yi didn't feel much pressure from this woman, she was, after all, a cultivator, and at least a powerful being at the Nascent Soul Realm.
Who knows if they might use some strange or unsavory methods?
"Who is Old Man Yan?" Ling Yi asked warily, taking a few steps back to shield Little Liu Wei, who had just run out of the room after hearing the commotion, behind him.
Seeing Ling Yi's performance, the woman's face showed a hint of disdain and Taunt.
He said coldly, "Since Old Man Yan hasn't told you his identity, you don't need to ask any more questions. Knowing more is not a good thing for ants like you."
This dialogue, this tone, this subtle expression—isn't this exactly the kind of dialogue a villain or a minor character would say?
You've made yourself so beautiful!
Ling Yi instantly felt a sense of disgust towards this woman.
You ant, weren't you an ant before you cultivated immortality? Weren't your father and mother ants too?
Any cultivator who holds this kind of thinking will have some serious illness.
However, Ling Yi was too lazy to refute, and simply looked at the other party warily.
But the woman was too lazy to waste words at this point. Microscopic Perception, she waved her hand forward and grabbed two streams of light that pierced through the roof and landed in her hand.
The woman briefly examined the two scrolls, a flash of surprise crossing her eyes.
When he looked at Ling Yi and Little Liu Wei again, a flash of killing intent crossed his eyes.
Ling Yi's mind went blank instantly. Was this woman going to kill him?
He glanced at his 211 points of Constitution on his system panel, wondering if the Protective Thorn Formation could withstand the boost from those 211 points.
However, when the woman glanced at the courtyard, a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes, but in the end she did not make a move.
It turned and flew into the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Ling Yi's eyes were filled with envy. Flying... he wondered when he would be able to sign in with the flying Divine Ability.
He has no Spiritual Root, so cultivation is out of the question; he can only rely on the system.
However, Ling Yi cannot stay in this place any longer.
On one hand, his affair at Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain has been leaked, and it won't be long before Ji Wuyun finds him.
Given Ji Wuyun's personality, he will never feel at ease until I am dead.
On the other hand, he is currently with Liu Wei. He can endure loneliness and avoid communicating with others, but Liu Wei cannot.
"Looks like we'll have to move." Ling Yi murmured, ruffling Little Liu Wei's hair.
Little Liu Wei remained silent. She didn't care where she went, as long as she stayed by the General's side.
Without hesitation, Ling Yi packed everything in the room into his Personal Space and immediately left the courtyard with Little Liu Wei, heading straight south.
The day after Ling Yi left, several groups of mysterious people found this place.
Among them are the Great Yan Nation emperor's personal Imperial Guard Special Operations Team and several Jianghu masters secretly trained by the princes.
These groups of people each had different motives.
Some wanted to kill Ling Yi, while others wanted to invite him to come out of Ling Yi.
All I can say is that these people were very lucky; if they had arrived a day earlier, probably very few would have survived.
Another two weeks have passed.
Nanli City is the southernmost border city of the Great Yan Nation.
Further south lies the Nanli Desolate Valley, and beyond that is the Southernmost Nanli Desolate Valley of Cloud Province, one of the Nine Provinces, the Central North Country.
Nanli Desolate Valley is a huge canyon that runs east to west and stretches for thousands of miles.
The widest part of the canyon is a hundred miles long, while the narrowest part is less than a hundred meters wide.
The canyon is over 300 meters deep, and the deepest parts of the canyon are perpetually shrouded in darkness, filled with miasma and teeming with poisonous insects.
If viewed from the air, the Nanli Canyon looks like a sword mark carved out by Greatsword.
Ling Yi arrived in Nanli City three days ago.
After that, he bought an inconspicuous little courtyard, intending to continue living a life of quiet desperation.
Nanli City has a population of over two million, with numerous martial arts sects and a fierce and unruly Jianghu.
Within Nanli City, there are over twenty Jianghu arts sects alone.
Although Nanli City has a city garrison and Guard Army, the city is actually controlled by several Greater Jianghu forces. The city garrison only has the right to supervise, not to manage.
Ling Yi visited Nanli City ten years ago. Because of Nanli City's unique situation, he proposed the concept of an autonomous city to Ji Wuyun at that time.
Since these Jianghu practitioners are unwilling to be governed by the imperial court, then let's simply hand over the management authority entirely to these Jianghu sects.
All that's needed is to pay a certain amount of tax to the Great Yan Nation each year.
There's nothing we can do about it.
Nanli City has a population of two million, of whom more than 60% have joined various Jianghu sects, and almost all of them are Kung Fu Hustle in martial arts.
The Great Yan Nation wasn't incapable of taking Nanli City, but rather the cost was too high.
With over a million Jianghu artists, this was an extremely powerful force. Ji Wuyun could not afford the enormous losses that would result from a battle, so he agreed to the autonomous city's explanation.
Ling Yi personally intervened and negotiated with the leaders of these Jianghu arts sects, after which Nanli City became Nanli Autonomous City.
The concept of an autonomous city clearly aligns with the wishes of these Jianghu sects, so they naturally wouldn't refuse it.
Even though they pay a certain amount of tax to the Great Yan Nation every year, ultimately it's still up to them to decide, so it's a win-win situation.
Returning to Nanli City now, Ling Yi felt a pang of regret.
After all, Ling Yi hadn't activated the system yet at that time; he was just an ordinary person.
Ling Yi took a somewhat risky approach during that negotiation; if it had fallen apart, Ling Yi probably would have been dead.
Fortunately, the result was good. Not only did it save the Great Yan Nation from a war, but Ling Yi also gained the respect of the Greater Jianghu sects in Nanli City.
[ Longevity Sign-In System ]
[Host: Ling Yi ]
Lifespan: 62/124
[Constitution: 341+][Note: Consuming 1 year of lifespan increases constitution by 1 point.]
[ Divine Ability: Personal Space, Body-Protecting Thorn Formation!]
[Today's check-in: 0]
[This month's check-in location: Check in at the deepest part of the Nanli Desolate Valley to receive rewards!]
Before we knew it, it was already early March.
The new check-in location has been updated.
Ling Yi frowned slightly as he looked at the new check-in location.
The Nanli Desolate Valley is no good place. Nanli Desolate Valley, and ordinary people who enter it will die of poisoning in no time.
With Ling Yi's current physique, he is not afraid of the poisonous miasma. What Ling Yi is worried about is the various poisonous insects and ferocious beasts in the Nanli Desolate Valley.
Ordinary ferocious beasts are one thing, but according to Ling Yi's understanding, there are many Legend of Demonic Beast existing deep in the Nanli Desolate Valley.
In the past, Ling Yi would never have believed in the existence of Demonic Beast, but now Ling Yi has gained some understanding of the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
There may indeed be Demonic Beast in this Nanli Desolate Valley.
Anything that can be called Demonic Beast is not something an ordinary person can deal with.
Even those Jianghu masters wouldn't be able to do it.
All Demonic Beast have developed intelligence and mastered certain Innate Divine Ability.
Summon Wind and Rain, Fire Control, Lightning Summoning.
Even the most ordinary Demonic Beast have the power to easily slaughter a city.
To be honest, Ling Yi was genuinely terrified of Demonic Beast. After all, he had never fought one before, and Ling Yi didn't know if his current strength was enough to fight Demonic Beast, or even what level of Demonic Beast he could fight.
However, no matter what, Ling Yi will not give up this monthly sign-in reward at a designated location.
This is also a good opportunity to test my true abilities.
" Weiwei, I'm going out for a bit. You stay home and don't run around."
Although Little Liu Wei didn't want to be separated from Ling Yi, she obediently nodded, but looked at Ling Yi with a worried expression.
"Don't worry, I'll be back by tonight at the latest."
Ling Yi Ling Yi was quite relieved that Little Liu Wei was well-behaved and sensible, but he hadn't yet figured out how to arrange things for Little Liu Wei.
Ling Yi knew very well that Little Liu Wei couldn't stay with him forever; eventually, he had to arrange a future for her.
He himself was homeless and wandered from place to place, so it was not Unification.
After returning from signing in, Ling Yi planned to meet Bai Zhengdao, the head of the True Unity Sect, hoping to use his influence to persuade Bai Zhengdao to accept Little Liu Wei as his disciple or adopt her as his goddaughter.
True Unity Sect is the most powerful Jianghu sect in Nanli City.
The sect leader, Bai Zhengdao, is a cultivation genius who reached the Grandmaster realm ten years ago. Now, the entire Nanli City is controlled by the True Unity Sect.
I just don't know if my pride will still be of any use after ten years.
Ling Yi took out a long black robe from his Personal Space, hiding his entire face in the hood, before opening the door and going out.
Although the Nanli Desolate Valley is extremely dangerous, it is also home to countless natural treasures and precious medicinal herbs.
Therefore, it is also a treasure hunting ground for many people.
March, June, and September are the months with the lowest levels of miasma in the Nanli Desolate Valley.
At this time of year, a large number of treasure hunters head to the Nanli Desolate Valley to try their luck.
However, the valley walls are steep, making it no easy task to enter the Nanli Desolate Valley.
