Ling Yi approached the counter and immediately gave the coded message: "Is room A occupied today?"
The slightly overweight innkeeper, who was fiddling with his abacus, paused for a moment, then said without looking up, "The guests in room A are extremely valuable!"
"Is it nine-tenths expensive?"
The shopkeeper looked up, clasped his hands in Fist Dao, "It's 95 points, that's expensive!"
"I have important business to discuss with the Lord," Ling Yi said, patting his sleeve.
The shopkeeper nodded slightly to Ling Yi: "Young master, please follow me!"
Ling Yi followed the shopkeeper directly up to the second floor. Directly opposite the stairwell was room Number Four, A.
To the left are Number Five A5 and Number Six.
To the right are Number Three, Number Two, Number One.
However, room Number One is not called Number One, but simply Room A.
Ling Yi glanced at the door of room Number Six.
A burly man wearing a soft leather mask stood at the door.
[ Wei Xu, Innate Third Pin Innate, Talent: Power of Sealing (Can Copy for 10,000 taels of silver!)]
Another talent worth ten thousand taels of silver.
Without a second thought, Ling Yi chose to Copy, and did so twice in a Copy.
After Ling Yi received the Power of Sealing talent, he instantly understood how Qianxue had been captured.
This level 1 Power of Sealing can seal not only someone's cultivation level, but also their talent.
However, it can only seal Martial Practitioner within the same major realm, or those one major realm lower than itself.
Upon reaching level 2, one can seal the cultivation and talent of Martial Practitioner is a whole realm higher than oneself.
Take Wei Xu, for example. He can only seal the cultivation and talent of entry-level Martial Practitioner and Third Rate Martial Practitioner.
However, those Innate or above the Innate cannot be sealed.
Ling Yi, however, can seal the cultivation and talent of Innate Martial Practitioner.
This person's sealed talent is practically the nemesis of all Divine Ability Martial Practitioner!
"Don't look at things you shouldn't!" the shopkeeper warned without turning his head.
Ling Yi nodded slightly, then looked up at the top of the shopkeeper's head.
[ Wei Hong, Ninth Pin Master, Talent: Multitasking (Can Copy 500 taels of silver!)]
Ling Yi chose to Copy again, and this time he Copy twice.
Ling Yi's eyes lit up after receiving the Multitasking talent.
This is an exceptional talent.
With this Multitasking talent, Ling Yi will be able to control all the Shadow Puppet to do things at the same time.
Previously, Ling Yi could only control one Shadow Puppet at a time.
Other Shadow Puppet can only issue basic commands.
Shadow Puppet have no Wisdom and can only execute basic commands. Shadow Puppet are simply unable to execute commands that are too complex.
Now, this flaw has been resolved with Multitasking.
Indeed, I need to go out more to encounter more talents and Copy more talents.
The closer one gets to the center of power, the more skilled individuals one will encounter, and the more Divine Ability Martial Practitioner with supernatural abilities one will find.
After leading Ling Yi into room A, Wei Hong looked Ling Yi up and down and asked, "Who sent you here?"
"My name is Ling Yi. Brother Qin Changming sent me here. He asked me to personally deliver something to our lord." Ling Yi didn't hide anything and told the truth directly.
" Qin Changming? Why didn't he come in person?" Wei Hong frowned.
"I don't know what's wrong with Brother Qin, he suddenly looks several years older. I wonder if there's something wrong with his cultivation." Ling Yi's face showed a worried expression.
Wei Hong's pupils contracted upon hearing Ling Yi's words.
His expression turned extremely serious as he asked, "Besides looking aged, has Qin Changming also become extremely weak, as if he has just recovered from a serious illness?"
"Ah, yes, yes, Brother Qin does look extremely weak; even standing up has become very difficult for him."
"How could this be?" Wei Hong's face was full of disbelief.
He took a deep breath and said, "Wait here for a moment, the master will be here soon."
After saying that, he turned and quickly walked out.
However, upon reaching the door, he paused, turned back to Ling Yi, and said, "Don't leave this room until I return, or you will die."
"Uh, yes!" Ling Yi was taken aback for a moment, then quickly nodded.
After Wei Hong left, the room was closed and locked from the outside.
Ling Yi, however, didn't care at all.
After Perception his surroundings and confirming that no one was around, Ling Yi disappeared.
The next moment, they appeared in the Hidden Asgard.
Qianxue had already woken up.
He was holding a porcelain bottle and pouring some kind of medicinal powder onto his wounds.
Because she had opened her dress, she was able to face Ling Yi openly and honestly.
Ling Yi touched his nose somewhat awkwardly.
"Sorry, I didn't know you were applying medicine. I'll come back later," Ling Yi said, turning to leave.
"Could you help me apply the medicine? I can't treat the wound on my back myself." Qianxue's expression was calm, without the slightest embarrassment.
Ling Yi had seen it all in his past life, so he wasn't pretentious.
He took the medicine bottle from Qianxue's hand and began applying medicine to the wound on Qianxue's back.
Looking at the wound on Qianxue's back, Ling Yi couldn't help but gasp.
The Second Prince's men are truly scoundrels.
How could you be so heartless as to hurt such a beautiful woman?
Qianxue had more than a dozen wounds on her back.
Some of the deeper wounds were so deep that the bone was visible.
If it had been any harder, it might have damaged the internal organs.
"These wounds will probably need stitches; otherwise, applying this much medicine powder won't be of much use."
Ling Yi said.
"It's alright. Once the seal is lifted, I can Healing my Internal Energy," Qianxue said.
Ling Yi suddenly realized that he had almost forgotten that this world was a world that combined Martial Dao and Immortal Dao.
Healing with Internal Energy is a routine procedure.
Some common sense from my previous life may not apply to this world.
"I never imagined that there would be a second person in this world with the talent for Power of Shadow," Qianxue said slowly.
"And what I never expected was that the two million taels of silver that were lost were actually stolen by you."
"In the end, I was suspected by the Third Princess and hunted down by the Second Prince. Tell me, how are you going to make it up to me?"
Qianxue's words were not meant to provoke Ling Yi, but rather to test Ling Yi.
She didn't know Ling Yi; she had only met him with the Shadow Puppet when they were smuggling the bounty money.
As a result, Ling Yi brazenly moved all the gold and silver from the treasury right in front of him.
This made Qianxue very curious about Ling Yi.
Ling Yi sprinkled the last bit of powder from the medicine bottle onto the wound and then casually tossed the bottle aside.
"Threatening me at this time is not a wise move." Ling Yi came to stand opposite Qianxue.
"Besides, I saved you, and I didn't even ask you for compensation, yet you're asking me for compensation?"
"So, what kind of compensation do you want?"
Ling Yi looked at Qianxue: "To be honest, I saved you on impulse. I haven't figured out exactly how to deal with you. Why don't you come up with a plan?"
"Yes, a plan that can save your life and gain my trust."
"Isn't repaying me with your body enough?"
Ling Yi shook his head. "You should get some rest. I hope you'll have a plan by the time I come back next time."
Ling Yi cannot disappear for too long.
Now is not the time to communicate with Qianxue.
Just as Ling Yi said, he doesn't know what to do with Qianxue right now.
Killing is definitely out of the question.
After all, Qianxue's talent is very valuable, and Ling Yi still wants to upgrade her Power of Shadow talent!
However, remaining confined in the Hidden Asgard indefinitely is not a good solution.
Qianxue is quite capable; it's a real waste to have her imprisoned here like this.
We can only deal with the Second Prince's situation first, and then slowly figure out a solution.
