"Of course, that's why I'm here!"
After Ling Yi finished speaking, he looked in the direction of White Ghost.
White Ghost cautiously took two steps back. He didn't know what Ling Yi would do, but he knew very well that anyone who dared to face this situation was either a fool or a master.
The character of White Ghost is a very outstanding one in the original storyline. Although he is a villain, he has his own unique personal charm.
This is the only Earthly Dao character in the entire novel, the kind who is evil to the very end.
As for the other so-called villains, they were basically assimilated by the Protagonist's strange aura.
They either chose to cooperate with the Protagonist or became Protagonist Xiao Di.
The only one who wasn't assimilated was this White Ghost.
It could even be said that, among all the characters in the entire novel, White Ghost is the most successful.
Although he didn't have any cheat codes, he played through nearly a hundred chapters with the Protagonist.
If the White Ghost were given the same cheat-like abilities, it's questionable whether the Protagonist could even defeat White Ghost.
Ling Yi swept his hands in the air, and Qimen Array appeared out of thin air.
This is the Illusory Heart Formation from the Qimen Array Formation, which can trigger the most fearful memories in people's hearts to create Illusion.
As soon as the Illusory Heart Formation was activated, all of White Ghost's subordinates were stunned into a daze.
But the White Ghost was completely unaffected.
Ling Yi paused for a moment, then suddenly realized, "I forgot, you're someone who feels no fear, so this Illusory Heart Formation is useless against you."
As expected, the White Ghost showed no fear whatsoever, his eyes shining as he asked, " Illusory Heart Formation? What is that? This world actually has such power? Does that mean we ordinary people are no match for it?"
Ling Yi shook his head and smiled, " Qimen Dunjia, in this world, only two people possess this power: one is me, and the other is your future enemy."
Can I learn it?
"If you're still alive a year from now, I can teach you!"
White Ghost is a villain, but he is the villain of the Protagonist, the villain of this world, not Ling Yi's villain.
"So, you mean I'll die within this year? I don't believe it!"
After saying that, he gave Ling Yi a deep look, laughed wildly, and turned to leave without looking back.
"What an interesting fellow," Ling Yi remarked.
Half an hour later, at Shang Nuoqing's home, the two sat facing each other.
Are you sure you only want this?
Shang Nuoqing looked at the blue and white cesium jade in her hand, but couldn't see anything special about it.
However, this piece of Spiritual Qi jade is covered with cracks, and there is not much Spiritual Qi left inside.
This is a jade sample from Shang Nuoqing's home; it has no real value.
Since she runs a jade business, she naturally needs to understand the details of various types of jade, so she keeps a large number of jade samples at home.
"Yes, what is the production volume of this type of jade?" Ling Yi asked.
"This isn't a matter of production volume, but rather that this type of jade is very difficult to preserve. Once mined, it will develop cracks within six months at most, rendering it almost worthless."
"Although storing them in a sealed wooden box can preserve them for a long time, almost no one does it."
"As for production, it's huge, especially from the new pits."
The words "huge production" made Ling Yi's eyes light up; his surprise was almost impossible to hide.
"Very good, then it'll be a pleasure working together."
Shang Nuoqing had a rough idea that this thing was probably related to Ling Yi's cultivation.
She was equally curious about the Qimen Dunjia that Ling Yi mentioned.
"Can I learn this art of Qimen Dunjia?" Although she knew it was a bit abrupt to ask, Shang Nuoqing still asked.
After all, who wouldn't yearn for such magical power?
"Let's talk about it later!" Ling Yi shook his head.
He neither said yes nor no; it depends on how their cooperation goes in the future.
But Ling Yi's words made Shang Nuoqing's eyes light up; he naturally understood what Ling Yi meant.
She smiled and extended her hand, "It's a pleasure doing business with you!"
The two shook hands, thus establishing their cooperative relationship. Ling Yi would be responsible for protecting Shang Nuoqing, while Shang Nuoqing would provide Ling Yi with Spiritual Qi jade.
When are you leaving for Biannan? How are you getting there?
"Let's drive tomorrow morning!"
"Okay, I'll come find you tomorrow morning."
After Ling Yi finished speaking, his figure transformed into Thunder and flew out of the window.
"It's truly divine power," Shang Nuoqing said, gazing intently out the window.
He then looked at the Spiritual Qi jade in his hand and began to make plans in his mind.
After returning home, Ling Yi immediately opened his system panel.
Looking at the 90% progress on the panel, Ling Yi was slightly surprised.
Did intercepting Shang Nuoqing really speed up the progress by this much?
But thinking about it, it's not surprising, since Spiritual Qi jade is extremely important to the Protagonist.
The Spiritual Qi jade is the foundation for the Protagonist's cultivation progress. Now that Ling Yi has intercepted it, the time it takes for the Protagonist to obtain the Spiritual Qi jade will be greatly delayed.
The more Spiritual Qi stones Ling Yi hoards, the less the Protagonist will receive.
I wonder what Lin Fan will think when he finds out he's learned the Qimen Array and that he stole his Spiritual Qi jade.
Would he risk his life?
For the next few months, Ling Yi stayed by Shang Nuoqing's side.
The plan to stockpile Spiritual Qi jade stones also progressed very smoothly. In three months, Ling Yi stockpiled a total of five tons of Spiritual Qi jade stones.
That's right, it's tons, a full five tons.
To protect these Spiritual Qi jade stones, Ling Yi built a separate warehouse and inscribed nearly a hundred Qimen Array on the outside of it.
Even if the Protagonist Lin Fan came, he would have no choice but to stare blankly.
Ling Yi only used Wu Bai Spiritual Qi jade stones in three months.
His strength reached the Great Perfection of the Baodan Realm, but he was stuck at that level.
To advance to the next realm, you need a cultivation technique.
The Thunder Dragon bloodline has also advanced to level 8. No new divine abilities have appeared, but the Armor Transformation Divine Ability and the Thunder Transformation Divine Ability have both advanced.
However, last month, the progress did not improve at all, remaining stuck at 90%.
Even though Ling Yi stole a few more scenes from the Protagonist, it was to no avail.
Clearly, for that final 10% of the project, simply trying to steal the spotlight won't be enough.
Ling Yi guessed that if he wanted to reach 100% completion, he would probably have to start with the word "playing".
In this world, he has once again botched his own performance.
Nevertheless, Ling Yi was already very satisfied; the gains from this world had far exceeded Ling Yi expectations.
I need to leave for a while.
That noon, after Ling Yi and Shang Nuoqing finished their meal, Ling Yi finally prepared to leave this world.
"Keep collecting jade. Like I said, the more the better," Ling Yi said, taking out a wooden bracelet and placing it in front of Shang Nuoqing.
"While I'm away, keep this on your body, even when you're taking a shower."
"What is this?" Shang Nuoqing asked curiously, looking at the pure wooden bracelet.
"I've inscribed over a dozen Qimen Array inside. As long as you have something with you, you won't get hurt, and whoever attacks you will be in trouble."
"Magic weapon?"
"Uh, more or less."
Shang Nuoqing was overjoyed.
At this moment, Shang Nuoqing suddenly thought of something and said to Ling Yi, "Recently, someone has been inquiring about Spiritual Qi jade. Could it be the other person you mentioned who Qimen Dunjia?"
Has Lin Fan already discovered the Spiritual Qi jade? Ling Yi wasn't surprised by this.
"Ignore him. If someone tries to take it, just give it to them. Your own safety is the most important thing."
"Are you worried about me?" Shang Nuoqing was taken aback when she said this.
She just blurted out those words instinctively and naturally, but there was a clear hint of coquetry in them.
"Of course, without you, who would collect Spiritual Qi jade for me?" Ling Yi didn't take it seriously. He didn't think much of it and didn't even notice how unnatural Shang Nuoqing's expression was at that moment.
Even if Lin Fan knew that Shang Nuoqing had a large amount of Spiritual Qi jade, he wouldn't try to steal it.
But there's no guarantee that the shady characters he recruits won't do something crooked or evil for Lin Fan.
In the original storyline, Lin Fan often had to clean up the messes left by his Xiao Di.
How long are you going to walk?
"It's uncertain; it could be a day or two, or a month or two, but it won't be long."
Ling Yi stood up, waved to Shang Nuoqing, and casually said, "I'm leaving!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished.
Shang Nuoqing looked in the direction where Ling Yi had disappeared, her face unusually flushed, and she was also somewhat annoyed.
Is this guy a blockhead?
Shang Nuoqing was very smart; she knew she might have developed feelings for Ling Yi.
During the time the two spent together, Shang Nuoqing paid more and more attention to her appearance, and her style gradually shifted from a cool, professional look to a more innocent and pure one.
It's simply because Ling Yi once said that he likes girls with this style.
Back in the real world, looking at the scene before him, Ling Yi was momentarily stunned.
It took him a while to come to his senses.
He is currently in Biannan, on a film shooting location.
This isn't his home; he's currently in a tent arranged for him by a director.
Ling Yi spent nearly half a year in the novel's world, but only one minute passed in the real world.
The huge difference in time and space made Ling Yi feel somewhat uncomfortable.
This is just the ordinary world, and the modern world at that. If he were to transmigrate to the world of fantasy novels, where time and space span decades or even centuries, the sense of unease caused by this difference in time and space would likely be even greater.
I don't know if there will be a solution in the future.
After opening the system panel and checking the data, Ling Yi first clicked on the Lottery.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received two million in cash. This reward will be transferred to your personal account in a legal and legitimate manner."
Sure enough, this time they gave cash again, and even less than last time.
It seems my guess was correct. I should focus on "playing the part," otherwise the prizes in the Lottery will only get lower and lower.
This was within Ling Yi's expectations, so there was nothing to be disappointed about.
Moreover, Ling Yi gained quite a lot from this world, including Spiritual Qi jade, Qimen Array, and the art of Qimen Dunjia.
Even if it's Lottery prize, it's nothing more than these things.
In Ling Yi's Personal Space, besides the Bloodthirsty Demon Mosquito and a priceless antique, there was also a Wooden Ox and Gliding Horse shaped like Tiger.
Calling it Wooden Ox and Gliding Horse isn't quite right; perhaps calling it a Qimen Mechanism Beast would be more accurate.
Ling Yi really wanted to ride this strange Tiger for a spin, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.
If this gets discovered, there's no way to explain it.
Ling Yi mentally opened the [World List] in the lower left corner.
