Taking a deep breath, Shangguan Haitang suppressed the anger in her heart.
"Join us, and if your value is high enough, I can promise you a Innate Pill and a top-tier Body Refining technique."
" Innate Pill?"
"You were born with a weak body, your meridians are blocked, making cultivation impossible. The Innate Pill can unblock your meridians and improve your aptitude. Although the Innate Pill's effects on you will be greatly reduced, it can still allow you to embark on the path of Body Refining."
"If one possesses a top-tier Body Refining technique, it's not impossible to achieve great things."
Ling Yi's eyes lit up; he was tempted.
His biggest problem right now is that he can't cultivate, because the strength of the assassins is comparable to his own.
If he can cultivate and become stronger, then the assassins will also become stronger in tandem.
The Innate Pill and the top-tier Body Refining technique were extremely Gravity to Ling Yi.
"I need to obtain the Innate Pill and the cultivation technique first."
"Impossible. At the very least, you need to demonstrate sufficient value." Shangguan Haitang never actually intended to give Ling Yi the Innate Pill or the Body Refining Technique.
It's just a bait.
If it weren't for the fact that Ling Yi's assassins were indeed of great use in their rebellion against the Tianxia Society, Shangguan Haitang would have killed Ling Yi long ago.
"Then goodbye and I won't see you off!"
Although Ling Yi was tempted, he had seen too many empty promises like this in his previous life. He would never agree to something without seeing any benefits in return.
Moreover, this might not even qualify as a pie.
Although Ling Yi was not Martial Practitioner and his Perception were not as sharp as those of Martial Practitioner, he could still Perception the killing intent emanating from this woman.
There's no way around it, it's just too intense.
This is probably not just empty promises, but rather a bait to lure you in and kill you, and it's very likely they'll use you before killing you.
Ling Yi could guess the reason.
It's simply that the existence of assassins is a special case, and we're being overly sensitive about it.
Ling Yi had no way of explaining where the assassins came from. Should he tell Shangguan Haitang that he had a cheat code?
Well, it wouldn't have mattered much if I had said it.
Even if others know Ling Yi's secret, so what?
A bunch of suicide soldiers rushed forward, and a hundred or so giant mushrooms exploded. Who could withstand that?
Shangguan Haitang stared at Ling Yi for a long time.
She didn't know where Ling Yi's confidence came from, or why he was so fearless, but in the end she didn't make a move against Ling Yi.
Regardless of whether Ling Yi truly has some trump card or is bluffing, Shangguan Haitang cannot kill Ling Yi at this time.
Just before leaving, Shangguan Haitang paused at the door, then said without turning her head, "In half a month, Bu Jingyun, the disciple of Xiongba, the leader of the Tianxia Society, will go to Mount Song to collect the Innate Pill refined by Shaolin Temple."
After saying that, Shangguan Haitang disappeared from the spot.
Ling Yi had no idea how Shangguan Haitang had disappeared.
Ling Yi greatly admired such methods.
" Innate Pill? The Innate Pill refined by Shaolin Temple?"
Ling Yi is no longer Little White in the Jianghu.
We now have a general understanding of the situation in this Zongwu World.
It's important to understand that the Spiritual Qi, or primordial Genki, between different martial arts worlds will certainly have different energy levels.
Take the Fengyun Jianghu as an example. If the energy between heaven and earth were insufficient, it would be impossible for so Grandmaster, or even Land Immortal, to emerge.
While "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Proud Wanderer" may seem exciting, the number of skilled individuals who achieve mastery Acquired is already at its peak.
World's Finest martial arts Jianghu is the best in the world, though it can't compare to the Fengyun "Storm Riders," it still has Master and Grandmaster.
In addition, there is the martial arts Jianghu of "Twin Dragons of Great Tang Dynasty," which even features powerful figures who Shattering the Void.
With so many martial arts worlds Fusion together, the energy of heaven and earth will inevitably be affected.
Either pull the high down, or go straight to the upper limit.
Either pull it up from a low point, or go straight to the lower limit.
Based on Ling Yi's understanding of the Jianghu during this period, it should be at the upper limit of Qi Ping.
However, it is not manifested in the energy of heaven and earth, but in the rare and precious materials of nature.
The higher the martial arts level of a region, the more rare and precious materials it contains, and the higher their quality.
For example, there was a lot of talk about the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Silkworm in the Dali Kingdom a while ago. It is said that the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Silkworm is accompanied by Ice Marrow.
After taking it, it can greatly increase Martial Practitioner's aptitude, broaden Martial Practitioner meridians, and even enhance their spirit.
The specifics are unknown, but there's no smoke without fire.
Moreover, there are many similar incidents.
Deep in the Lin Zhong, there are many rare and precious natural treasures, such as ginseng that is hundreds or thousands of years old, and he shou wu (Polygonum multiflorum).
Ling Yi knew what Shangguan Haitang meant by her last words.
But Ling Yi was indeed tempted.
If the Innate Pill is truly useful to him and can help him cultivate, even if the effect is less than ideal, as long as it works, that's fine.
It's better than not being able to cultivate anything at all right now.
I'm born with a weak constitution, and I'm not kidding.
It can't even strengthen Qi and Blood, or improve physical fitness; it's utterly useless.
As long as one can Body Refining, even if they cannot cultivate Internal Energy, a strong physical body is still good.
Even though he knew it was Shangguan Haitang's conspiracy, Ling Yi still decided to make the trip to Mount Song.
Furthermore, since this world Fusion Fengyun martial arts and chivalry, it must contain treasures like Dragon Yuan and Phoenix Blood that can grant Longevity.
Let's put aside whether it's strong or not for now, let's Longevity first.
First, go to Mount Song and try to get the Innate Pill. Then, go to Dali to see the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Silkworm.
As for Dragon Yuan, we'll plan for that later.
On the other side, after leaving Ling Yi's courtyard, Shangguan Haitang did not leave immediately. Instead, she stood on the roof of a house, coldly looking at the assassins surrounding Ling Yi's courtyard.
"How did these people appear out of thin air? Where were they hiding before? Why did they appear without any warning?"
This was very unusual and beyond her comprehension.
Even the most skillful Qinggong- footed technique will leave traces when used.
But she couldn't figure out how these assassins had appeared.
Most importantly, these assassins were clearly ordinary people, which made it even harder for him to understand.
But there are countless martial arts techniques in the martial arts Jianghu, and she has seen some unorthodox ones.
It is said that in the Great Qin Dynasty, there are people who specialize in Qi Cultivation of corpses.
The Heavenly Mountain Carefree Sect of the Northern Song also possessed techniques for Longevity and reversing aging.
The Jianghu is vast, and the number of martial arts techniques is countless.
But regardless of the technique, these assassins must have originated from humans.
Ling Yi's method of Refinement people into assassins for his own use, however powerful, is still a heretical and evil practice.
These hundreds of assassins before him were equivalent to Ling Yi having taken the lives of hundreds of people.
Regardless, in Shangguan Haitang's mind, Ling Yi had already been added to her kill list.
With Ying Yi, Shangguan Haitang disappeared from the spot.
A few minutes later, Shangguan Haitang quietly entered a brothel called Flower Garden Pavilion.
This Flower Garden Pavilion is ostensibly a property of the Shahe Gang, but in reality, it is not.
Let alone the Shahe Gang, even the Qingcheng Sect members wouldn't dare cause trouble at the Flower Garden Pavilion.
This demonstrates just how terrifying the forces behind it are.
In a room on the third floor, at the corner, a beautiful woman dressed in red was embroidering a purse.
Perception Shangguan Haitang's Aura, the woman placed her needlework on the table, looked up, and asked, "Any success?"
However, the woman's voice came out as a man's.
It sounds really awkward.
Shangguan Haitang shook her head. "He refused, seemingly feeling confident in his ability to back down."
"Furthermore, I can't see through him. He clearly has no cultivation, yet he exudes an extremely strong sense of confidence. Also, I can't discern the origins of those assassins."
The woman in red nodded. "I personally tracked one of the assassins. He appeared out of nowhere, without any prior information, Wuming, or originating from anywhere."
"But if there is danger, he will immediately Self-Destruct without hesitation, showing absolutely no regard for his own life."
"The power of Self-Destruct can damage Acquired, but it has no effect on Innate."
"Can't you find even a single piece of information?" Shangguan Haitang asked, frowning.
"Yes, they can't find a single thing."
"No matter where they came from, they will eventually leave Silk. Perhaps the trip to Mount Song will reveal some of them."
The woman in red paused for a moment, then laughed in a rough voice, "You told Ling Yi about the Innate Pill?"
"Hmm, he's born with a weak constitution, so he must be extremely focused on the Innate Pill. Let's observe him secretly for now."
"This might save us a lot of Kung Fu Hustle."
"As long as they don't become an obstacle for us, this time we must cut off Xiongba's arm and leave Bu Jingyun at Mount Song."
"Don't worry, there shouldn't be any mistakes this time. Master Zhang has already invited Zhang Sanfeng back, and with us here, everything should be foolproof."
Meanwhile, in a small mountain village about five miles away from Green Mountain Town.
Hundreds of Martial Practitioner dressed in blue robes had just completed a massacre.
The entire small mountain village, numbering several hundred people, was slaughtered by these people. Men, women, and children were all killed without exception; it was an act of extreme cruelty.
These people were the survivors of the Qingcheng Sect, and the leader was Yu Renhao, one of Yu Canghai's personal disciples.
Instead of leaving Green Mountain Town, they settled in a mountain village not far from the Green Mountain Town, enjoying themselves in the dark.
"Dispose of the body, clean up all the bloodstains, and have everyone change into villagers' clothes," Yu Renhao ordered.
"Fellow disciples, let us endure for now. When the time is right, we will surely avenge our the Final Master."
"Yes, senior brother!" everyone responded.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared at the village entrance, and the next moment, several figures appeared out of thin air beside everyone.
One of them glanced at the corpses of nearby villagers and said in a hoarse voice, "We're too late. You all deserve to die!"
Yu Renhao exclaimed in alarm, "Oh no, it's the mysterious assassin!"
Sadly, these were his last words.
A series of explosions rang out, and the entire small mountain village was razed to the ground in an instant.
After leaving behind a Masai, the entire mountain village returned to peace.
Night had fallen, and the entire Green Mountain Town was quiet.
Ling Yi stood in the middle of the courtyard, looking at the crescent moon in the sky, quietly waiting for time to pass.
