Hearing Lianxing's question, Yaoyue shook her head and said, "Given the commotion Ling Yi has caused, this matter will become known sooner or later."
"Furthermore, it's still uncertain whether Ling Yi is Qi Refining Refiner."
"Why?"
"I've met Qi Refining cultivators. They aren't as powerful as taught. Furthermore, Qi Refining cultivators all possess a unique Aura, similar to the Internal Energy and True Yuan of us Martial Practitioner."
"But Ling Yi doesn't possess that Aura; he's just an ordinary person," Yaoyue said slowly, looking in the direction of Ling Yi's carriage.
"There's another point: all the techniques of Qi Refining rely on that Aura, just like how we use True Yuan to perform martial arts moves, which inevitably involves a huge consumption of energy."
"But Ling Yi can Summon thousands of assassins with ease, seemingly without expending any energy. Even a powerful Qi Refining Refiner couldn't do that."
Lianxing instantly understood. "Sister, do you mean that Ling Yi has a treasure on him?"
Yaoyue nodded. "There are many treasures in this world, some of which can even destroy the heavens and the earth, or grant Longevity."
Have you ever heard of the Four Divine Beasts and the Four God Stone of the Feng Yun Domain?
Lianxing nodded. Since the Tianxia Society invaded the Great Ming, some Legend about the Feng Yun Domain have also been passed down by members of the Tianxia Society.
"Sister, are you trying to steal Ling Yi's treasure?"
Yaoyue shook her head. "Treasures choose their masters, especially the more powerful they are. Let's observe first."
Ling Yi was completely unaware that he had been targeted by two powerful figures.
Even more unimaginable is the extent to which people have conjured up his own ideas about his methods.
Ling Yi was just an ordinary person, so naturally he couldn't Perception the presence of other powerful individuals. The assassins and Ling Yi had similar attributes, so it was the same for them.
At this moment, Ling Yi was reading a book inside the carriage.
Looking at the various books collected from the Qingcheng Sect, there were all sorts of anecdotes about the Jianghu, introductions to Martial Practitioner arts cultivation, and information about the current world, the Greater Jianghu, and the various imperial courts.
This also gave Ling Yi a general understanding of this world.
First of all, this vast Wu Da is enormous.
It does not categorize the Central Plains into numerous large and small countries, all of which have vast territories.
If we calculate based on this ratio, the area of this world would probably be at least dozens of times larger than Blue Star.
Moreover, this world is full of rare and precious natural treasures.
Thousand-year-old snow lotus, ten-thousand-year-old ginseng, all kinds of Spirit Elixir and treasures, divine beasts, and sacred beasts are countless and appear with extremely high frequency.
For example, the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Silkworm in the Dali Kingdom, and the ten-thousand-year-old snow dragon in the northern snow mountains within the territory of the Great Qing.
Within the Great Qin Empire lies a Bottomless Abyss containing a thousand-foot-deep meteorite. Meteorite fragments can be used in medicine, and consuming them can significantly extend one's lifespan.
In the far south of the Southern Song, there was an Volcano inhabited by the sacred beast, the Vermilion Bird.
Although many of these are just Legend and rumors, as the saying goes, there's no smoke without fire.
Deep in the Lin Zhong, there are many rare and precious natural treasures, and it is inevitable that some Beast beasts will be lucky enough to swallow them.
Thus, they gain immense power and evolve into Demonic Beast.
It even includes mythical beasts and sacred beasts, so it's understandable that it also includes Demonic Beast.
This world is far more wonderful than we imagine!
"I can't cultivate now. If I want to cultivate, I need to improve my physique. Perhaps I'll have to rely on these rare and precious herbs."
"First, we'll get the Innate Pill from Shaolin. If that doesn't work, then we'll go find these rare and precious medicinal herbs."
The carriage was moving at a considerable speed.
The carriage that Ling Yi bought was not only sturdy and durable, but also equipped with a shock absorption system.
And those two tall, Da Ma were no Mortal Pin either.
According to the horse seller, this is a demon horse, with Demonic Beast blood in its body.
Traveling hundreds of miles a day is no problem at all.
Because the carriage was moving too fast, the assassins couldn't keep up at all.
Therefore, Ling Yi simply dispersed all the assassins around him into the Lin Zhong.
Moreover, he needs to verify one more thing.
Although the system description states that the number of Summon assassins only increases with each human killed, does killing Beast or Demonic Beast count towards the kill count?
Although the chances are slim, what if?
If killing Beast and Demonic Beast also grants kill counts, then reaching the maximum number of stats isn't impossible.
Seeing that all the assassins who had been following Ling Yi's carriage suddenly left and rushed into the mountains, Yaoyue and Lianxing, who had been following at a distance, both looked on with curiosity.
"You follow the carriage, I'll go take a look!" Yaoyue.
Before Lianxing could react, Yaoyue had vanished.
A few minutes later, intermittent explosions began to echo through the mountains and forests.
In just a moment, Yaoyue returned.
However, Aura a little unsteady on his feet.
"What's wrong?" Lianxing asked.
"Those assassins can hurt me." Incredulity filled Yaoyue's eyes.
"Then, the power of that assassin's Self-Destruct shouldn't be enough to break through the protective True Yuan of the barrier, right?"
"It didn't break through my protective True Yuan essence, but it did injure me, and I'm completely baffled by it." Yaoyue's expression was grave.
Even if she were injured, Yaoyue shouldn't have been so unsteady on her Aura.
The power of the suicide bomber's explosion wasn't very strong for Yaoyue; it was just a casual strike from Third Rate Martial Practitioner.
But Yaoyue wanted to understand why this assassin's Self-Destruct could injure her without breaking through his protective True Yuan.
He willingly accepted over a dozen suicide Self-Destruct by assassins.
But Yaoyue still couldn't understand why her protective True Yuan was intact, yet it could still hurt her.
"This Ling Yi is indeed extraordinary."
"Sister, if what you say is true, this Ling Yi seems somewhat dangerous. If hundreds or thousands of assassins were to Self-Destruct, we might also be seriously injured."
Yaoyue nodded. "That's true."
"So, are we still going to follow or not?"
"Yes, but..."
But Yaoyue didn't say anything, and Lianxing didn't ask either.
Anyway, from childhood to adulthood, once my older sister made a decision, there was no going back.
On the other side, Ling Yi's expression was rather unpleasant.
On the one hand, killing Beast obviously does not increase the kill count.
on the other hand...
"Who is this woman? She survived nearly twenty explosions unscathed; she must be at least a Master- level expert."
Being stared at by a Master- level expert clearly displeased Ling Yi.
But there was nothing that could be done for the time being.
Master- level expert, he was fast enough that before Ling Yi could use the assassins' Field of Vision to surround him, the opponent vanished in a flash.
Ling Yi only had the reaction of an ordinary person; his eyes couldn't even keep up, so he didn't have time to Summon the assassins.
"I must cultivate and become stronger, otherwise, I won't even be able to keep up with the enemy's Perception and reaction time, so how can I compete?"
Over the next two days, Ling Yi quickened his pace.
Fortunately, the other party only followed and did not come directly to their door.
In order to see who the other party was, Ling Yi even Summon several assassins to observe the person following him using their Field of Vision.
What one could see were two slender figures, one in green and one in blue, rising and falling effortlessly at the top of the tree canopy, almost like they were flying, keeping pace with the carriage.
Both women had excellent figures, but they were both wearing veils, so their faces were not visible.
One of the women appeared to have a problem with her right leg.
Ling Yi immediately began to speculate about the identities of the two people.
Four days later at noon, Ling Yi arrived in Dengfeng Commandery. This was the first time Ling Yi had ever seen a county town in this world.
Compared to Green Mountain Town and other towns along the way, Dengfeng Commandery City is the only one that can truly be called a city.
The city walls alone are hundreds of meters high.
The city gate was over thirty meters high and over ten meters wide, with two squads of soldiers in black armor standing on either side of the city wall.
Occasionally, passing vehicles are stopped for inspection.
However, the inspection was not thorough; they would just glance at it and let people through.
When it was Ling Yi's turn to ride in his carriage, the city gate official stopped him, glanced at him, and asked, "Do you have a waist token?"
The waist tag is like an ID card.
Its proper name is "tooth card," but it's made of wood and the size of playing cards.
Because it was often worn on the waist, it was usually called a waist tag.
However, not everyone has a waist tag.
In ancient times, due to transportation problems, population statistics were very troublesome, and most remote mountain villages did not have waist tags.
Just like in Old Bull Village, where Ling Yi lives, no one has ever issued a waist tag.
"Go to the side to record your information and get your temporary pass," the city gate official said, pointing in a direction to Ling Yi.
Generally, it's okay if you don't have a waist tag; you can just get one.
Of course, in special circumstances, such as during wartime or when apprehending wanted criminals.
Without a waist tag, one can hardly move an inch.
They might even be arrested and tortured; whether they live or die is hard to say.
A temporary waist tag is essentially a temporary ID card.
It is only valid in Dengfeng Commandery. Of course, you can also pay to get a permanent waist tag in Dengfeng Commandery.
Ling Yi felt that it would be best to get a permanent one for this.
After all, he'll be traveling around a lot, and it would be a real hassle without a waist tag.
Ling Yi drove the carriage aside and went to a nearby shed to get a temporary waist pass.
The temporary waist tag looked like a wooden plaque with Ling Yi's name, place of birth, and other basic information written on it in calligraphy.
This thing looks simple, but it's actually not easy to imitate.
Each wooden plaque has a unique number, which is recorded in a register.
Moreover, the interior of the wooden plaque is also ingenious, employing mortise and tenon joints, making it virtually impossible to imitate without considerable craftsmanship.
Because the number of people entering the city was not large, Ling Yi quickly obtained a temporary waist token.
"Carriages are not allowed to travel freely within the city. It is best to leave your carriage at the post station," the city gate official reminded Ling Yi before he entered the city.
"Thank you!" Ling Yi clasped his hands in thanks.
They entered the city smoothly, Ling Yi stored the carriage at the post station. The post station had dedicated staff to look after it, but of course, a fee was required.
Arriving at Dengfeng Commandery is essentially equivalent to arriving at Mount Song.
Once you exit the North City of Dengfeng Commandery, you can see Mount Song.
Ling Yi plans to rest for the night and then go hiking tomorrow. As for what to do next, he'll decide after the hike.
His goal was the Innate Pill.
However, there's a high probability that a fight will still break out.
Ling Yi has come up with some new attack methods in the past few days, and he can try them out tomorrow.
