Insufficient balance

  Back in the Wan Chao City, Li Yi found a secluded corner to take off his black cloak and then circled around the city as Li Yi before returning to the Li family's mansion and quickly heading to the back mountain.

  Behind the mountain, Li Yi's place of cultivation was still as calm as ever. The Yu Lin he had captured was still unconscious, not having noticed that Li Yi had left at all.

  Li Yi casually checked it and didn't bother to deal with her, but instead came to the stone platform in the middle of the pool where he had been practicing, sat down, and carefully took out the container from his bosom.

  A strange silver light flickered in Li Yi's palm, constantly stimulating his nerves.

  Li Yitian took a deep breath before saying in a low voice, "Old ghost, how does this thing work?"

  The voice of the snake尊者 faintly echoed in Li Yi's mind: "Isn't this simple? The original owner of this thing is already dead, so you just need to drip blood to recognize the master."

  Li Yi nodded and without hesitation bit his own fingertip, then a drop of fresh blood fell onto the container.

  As a drop of blood landed on it, the eerie silver glow on the surface of Rongjie's ring slowly disappeared, and finally turned into an ordinary silver ring. However, when Li Yi's hand touched it, he could immediately feel that inside the ring was a space of several meters in size, filled with all sorts of miscellaneous objects, among which the most eye-catching were the "Diaoji Zhongjie" martial arts manual and the Wolf Tooth Blade, which continuously emitted a strong bloody aura.

  For other miscellaneous things, Li Yi was generally ignored. He first grabbed the volume of Qingyun Shou's fighting skills and only then did a smile appear on his face. It is worth noting that with the power of the Li family, the highest level of martial arts in the family was only Zhuque Middle Stage, but now such a volume of the same level of martial arts had fallen into his own hands, even with Li Yi's temperament, he was also ecstatic in his heart.

  At this time, the voice of the Snake尊者 also rang out bluntly: "Little boy, don't say I didn't tell you, although the fighting skills of this Vermilion Bird middle stage are good, but you're not even a Crystal Fighter, I'm afraid you don't have the qualifications to cultivate."

  After playing with it for a moment, Li Yi reluctantly stuffed the martial arts scroll back into Rong Jie's container and said lightly: "I naturally know that this Qingyun Hand is rare, but after all, it was snatched away. For now, even if I can cultivate it temporarily, I still can't move it. It's just this thing..."

  As they spoke, Li Yi had already taken out the wolf-toothed blade, and instantly, a thick and intense bloody aura spread out, this kind of aura made Li Yi's whole body's vital energy surge constantly.

  Li Yi's Cloud Wasteland Ring flickered, and the illusory figure of Shezun appeared. His gaze fell on the Wolf Tooth Blade, and his eyes lit up: "It seems that your Tianfeng Empire's Huang or Lin, is barely a decent person after all. A ordinary five-grade weapon can make him exude such a strong bloody aura, it's clear he must have killed many people in the past. Kid, with this thing, you might be able to condense a Dou Qi vortex within two months, but...".

  "What's the matter?"

  "It's just a pity," the tone of the Snake Respecter suddenly had a hint of helplessness, "If you were willing to go and kill that little girl outside, refining her fighting spirit embryo, then becoming a fighter within two months would be absolutely effortless."

  Li Yi curled his lips and said lightly, "I don't have such a perverted hobby as you do. Moreover, I've already said it before, that Ruo Lin still has use for me, how can I just kill her?"

  "Alright, I won't kill you," the Snake Deity revealed a hint of an eerie smile. "However, one day you will find that refining other people's Qi embryos isn't as disgusting as you imagined it to be. By then..."

  Li Yi hummed and said, "Don't talk nonsense anymore, what should we do next? Should we directly absorb the Blood Calamity aura on the Wolf Tooth Blade?"

  Shé Zūnzhě shook his head and said, "It's not that easy. This wolf-toothed spear is a rare object after all. If we use it to set up an array, we can create a small-scale Blood Calamity Formation. However, the formation will take at least a day to take shape. You'll have to wait for now."

  As soon as he finished speaking, Snake Zun's hand grasped at the air, and in an instant, the wolf-toothed blade flew out of Li Yi's hand and into the air. Seeing this scene, Snake Zun revealed a strange smile, his hands made a few false gestures, and threads like blood silk flew out from his fingertips, wrapping around the wolf-toothed blade.

  The silk threads were like a spider's web, enveloping the entire pool, and the water in the pool also churned up waves of bloody air, rolling around like boiling water. In an instant, what was originally a clear and beautiful place suddenly became like the underworld.

  This scene made Li Yi frown, he looked at it for a moment before saying in a low voice: "Old ghost, what are you doing?"

  Perhaps it was because of the arrangement of this strange formation that the snake's body became even more illusory, he smiled lightly and said: "Young one, don't look at this Blood Demon Array as being extremely evil, but if not, how could we fully stimulate all the blood slaughter in the Wolf Tooth Blade? It's fine for now, wait until a day later when this Blood Demon Array is formed, you can be surprised again then."

  After finishing speaking, the shadow of the Snake Venerable flashed slightly and retreated back into the Cloud Wasteland Ring in Li Yi's hand.

  Li Yi slightly furrowed his brow, to be honest, he didn't have much trust in this Snake Venerable. However, he did know one thing - with the opponent's strength, killing him would be easier than squashing an ant. So, this seemingly bizarre Blood Demon Array shouldn't pose any problems either. After all, if the Snake Venerable really wanted to kill him, there was no need to go through so much trouble.

  He lightly shook his head, and Li Yue jumped to the shore, looking back at the eerie scene of the wolf's fangs floating in mid-air, constantly emitting a bloody aura. He could only slightly expect that this thing would bring him some surprises after a day.

  As for now, it seems like I still have something to take care of.

  He slowly walked through the jungle for a while, and came to the front of the girl whose hands and feet were tied up. Li Yi's face revealed a faint smile, he casually untied the restraints on Ruo Lin's body, and then gently pinched her people in the middle a few times, before seeing this extremely beautiful girl slowly wake up.

  Ruo Lin coughed slightly, and the restraint of the past two days had left her feeling weak all over. The dizziness kept coming in waves, so even though Li Yi had just released her from her restraints, she didn't have much strength to move.

  She struggled slowly on the ground for a moment before Yu Lin finally sat up, seemingly aware that the wound on her waist had been re-dressed by Li Yi. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly suppressed, replaced by a calm gaze that fell on Li Yi's face as she coolly asked, "Is there something?"

  Li Yi smiled and squatted down in front of Ruolin, saying lightly: "I think you've also considered it carefully for the past two days? My condition, will you agree or not?"

  Ruo Lin sneered and said, "Don't think too much, with your strength, even if I agree to your terms, what can you do? Are you not afraid that I will deceive you in the incantation of the fighting technique? I don't need to do much, just intentionally say a wrong word, and you may die from the backlash of the aura during cultivation!"

  Li Yi was stunned and couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.

  This is what Zuo Lin said, no matter whether it's Gong Fa or Dou Ji, if there's a slight mistake in the cultivation process, then the backlash of Dou Qi will often take the cultivator's life. This is also why the scrolls of Gong Fa and Dou Ji are valuable, after all, these scrolls are safer than oral transmission by thousands or tens of thousands of times.

  At this thought, Li Yi's idea of getting fighting skills from Ruolin faded a lot.

  For Li Yi, the Yun Huang ring obtained from Ruo Lin was actually the greatest benefit. Although there is an element of coincidence in this, it is enough to illustrate his good luck.

  Seeing Li Yi's expression, Yu Lin seemed to have also let out a breath of relief. She looked at Li Yi again and suddenly sighed, saying: "However, if you really want to learn my fighting skills, it's not impossible, but I do have one condition."

  "What conditions?" Li Yi suddenly became interested.

  Ruo Lin's face changed color, and she finally made up her mind. In a low voice, she said: "I have an enemy who has been pursuing me relentlessly, and I've been running from him for half a year now. But no matter what, I couldn't shake him off. If it wasn't for you capturing me by chance this time, I might have fallen into his hands. I can see that your skills are definitely not inferior to mine. If we join forces, there's a good chance we can take down that enemy together. As long as you help me deal with him, I'll give you that set of combat skills, what do you say?"

  Isn't her own skill not inferior to hers? If this Ruo Lin isn't stupid, she should know that her level is just Yuan Qi rank, and can't even be considered a Dou Zhe, how could she be so formidable? Or does she think she's just hiding her true strength at the moment?

  Li Yi smiled and said, "Then go ahead and tell me, who is your enemy? For the sake of your Zhuque-level combat skills, I'll acknowledge it."

  "Understood?" Yolanda's mouth was bitter, but she still took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Do you know about the Dou Shen Temple?"
