CHAPTER 952: CHAPTER 721: A SMALL GIFT

Li Yugang decided to take what he had at this moment, without any intention of bargaining further, after all, from his perspective, Li Yi offering such a large piece of top-tier Immortal Artifact material was already generous enough.

Being too greedy might backfire.

So, without hesitation, Li Yugang handed over the coordinates, and directly wrote them down on a piece of paper which he passed to Li Yi.

After glancing at it and memorizing the coordinates, Li Yi immediately destroyed the paper.

"Just having the coordinates is not enough, Li Yi. Once you get there, be very careful not to wander around. You must find a stone platform engraved with the Eight Diagram. Although it looks small and very worn out, it’s the only safe place there. I’ve tested it; the time flow rate there is about ten times compared to the outside, which is perfect for cultivation," Li Yugang said.

"The time flow rate is ten times?" Li Yi was satisfied upon hearing this: "So you cultivated there for a year to reach this level of cultivation?"

"I haven’t even cultivated there for a year," Li Yugang responded, "The only drawback there is that the Cosmic Energy is unstable, sometimes abundant and other times scarce. However, for you, it shouldn’t be difficult. Just carry a Miracle with you and it should work out."

Li Yi said, "You know it so well, why don’t you keep cultivating there? If you could break through to the Mahayana Realm in one go, combined with practicing the Evolution Method, dealing with Great Demons should be a breeze."

Li Yugang said, "I thought about it, but there’s no way. The Cultivators of the Demon God Realm and the Xuanxian Continent invaded together. I’m afraid that if I continue cultivating, by the time I come out, all my relatives and friends will be dead."

As he spoke, he looked towards the building.

Obviously, many of his family members lived in this building. Those people’s powers were weak; they could only live peacefully in the base under his protection. Without him, or if he were absent for a long time, those relatives and friends might not be so lucky.

"No wonder you were so dissatisfied with Li Yi shaking up the entire survival base on his own yesterday."

Su Mu, on the side, now understood Li Yugang’s feelings.

Li Yi’s actions had already posed a certain threat to his family and friends. Now that Li Yi was wandering around here, Li Yugang naturally wanted to intimidate him into leaving.

Both sides seemed to be not at fault; it was just that their positions and methods were different.

"With Earth like this, you should consider sending them away," Li Yi understood Li Yugang’s feelings and gave a suggestion.

"I haven’t found a suitable world, and I’ve been cultivating for a year, missing many opportunities," Li Yugang shook his head slightly and said.

Li Yi thought for a moment and immediately understood.

A year ago, Li Yugang was probably nothing special, impoverished, just lucky enough to find a treasure land for accelerating cultivation. Through arduous cultivation, he managed to rise in a year, becoming an S-grade privilege holder of the survival base.

It was also because of the long period of strenuous cultivation that he had a strong cultivation base but lacked many other things.

No wonder he needed Red Gold Stones so much.

If he could refine a set of Red Gold Weapons, his strength would definitely increase significantly.

"It seems that everyone’s path is not easy."

Li Yi said, "However, let me remind you, although Red Gold Stone is a material for refining Immortal Artifacts, it is also because of this that it is very difficult to smelt. You should be mentally prepared."

"Of course, I know this. Don’t worry, Li Yi; I have my own methods," Li Yugang said with a smile, exuding some confidence in his words.

"That’s good."

Li Yi nodded, "Now that the trade is complete, I won’t disturb you any longer. Su Mu and I will go explore other places."

Afterwards, he finished off the warm tea in front of him and then got up to leave.

Li Yugang hurried to see them off.

Only after Li Yi and Su Mu completely left did he breathe a slight sigh of relief.

Even though Li Yi hadn’t shown any hostility or killing intent, staying with such a person was truly nerve-wracking. Fortunately, the other party was also a reasonable person, otherwise, he really wouldn’t know what to do.

After seeing the two people off, Li Yugang looked back at the large piece of shimmering Red Gold Stone and couldn’t help but smile with joy.

"Exchanging a cultivation place for material to create an Immortal Artifact was worth it."

As a cultivator, he had always dreamed of having a piece of material to create an Immortal Artifact because this meant he could cultivate his Lifebound Treasure. Even when he became an Immortal in the future, he would have a Lifebound Immortal Artifact.

Even Mahayana stage experts in the Xuanxian World spent a lifetime searching for the materials to craft a Lifebound Immortal Artifact.

At this moment, Su Mu was leading Li Yi to wander around other places within the survival base.

However, there was a restricted area.

"Li Yi, we can’t enter there with our privileges,"

Su Mu pointed to a place not far away: "It houses a complete Miracle to provide unpolluted Cosmic Energy for cultivators, and it also maintains the operation of the Grand Array within the base."

"Even someone like Li Yugang with S-grade privileges can’t enter?" Li Yi asked.

Su Mu said, "He can go, but he needs the approval of more than half of the S-grade privilege holders. If he forces his way in, the intelligent brain will instantly revoke his privileges, and then the entire base’s defense system will attack."

"A complete Miracle is now related to the survival of two million people, and the current survival base has such limited assets. If there is a major crisis in the future, cross-realm escape will also need to use the Miracle. No one wants to see the Miracle fall into individual hands. After all, running away with money, Earthlings are quite adept at."

"Mutual checks and balances, huh?" Li Yi understood the intention behind this.

After circling around the survival base, it was unknowingly already evening.

Li Yi had learned everything he needed to know, and he didn’t want to continue wandering. He planned to return and continue perfecting his Primordial Spirit Dharma Image, and this time he had an unexpected gain.

He found a treasure land for cultivation.

If luck was on his side, he could use this treasure land to condense the Primordial Spirit Dharma Image in one go, breaking through to the Chao Yuan Realm.

"Su Mu, thank you for your hard work today, accompanying me around here all day. It’s getting late, and I feel bad bothering you further, it’s time to go back and rest," Li Yi said.

Su Mu laughed, "What’s the trouble in that? I’m free anyway, and you’ve saved my life before. I can’t just refuse such a small favor. You should go back and rest, and I’ll go find Ye Jingtian to ask how the investigation on Wang Dongtian is going."

"Alright, see you then."

Li Yi said, and then suddenly remembered something. He took out a small bottle of Life Water from the Red Gold Five Elements Bracelet and tossed it to Su Mu.

"It’s rare to meet an old acquaintance. Here’s a small gift for you; it might be useful when you’re injured."

Su Mu instinctively caught it and was about to politely refuse, but Li Yi had already stepped on a Xiangyun and left.

"So courteous, giving me a gift,"

She smiled and had no choice but to accept it. However, when she curiously opened the small bottle, her expression changed immediately.

A surge of Life Essence Qi burst forth. Just by taking a single breath, she felt as if all the cells in her body were cheering and rapidly evolving, bringing a sense of indescribable comfort.

"This is..."

Su Mu widened her eyes and hurriedly capped the bottle to stop the Life Essence Qi from escaping.

Without a doubt, this was an incredibly precious treasure.

She suspected that if she took even a sip, short of dying, any injury could be healed, even regrowing a severed arm.

"Seems like I owe him another big favor." Su Mu was in a daze for a long time but then revealed a faint smile.

After securing the item, she also hurriedly left the place.

Even in a survival base, such a precious thing cannot be exposed casually to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Meanwhile, back at his residence, Li Yi, as he did yesterday, began visualizing his Primordial Spirit Dharma Image.

Various anomalies appeared around him once again, as countless cosmic energy gathered.

And as time passed, the divine being seated on the Treasure Lotus, draped in a Five-Colored Cloud Robe and holding a Treasure Seal, became even clearer, emitting beams of divine light, making the entire villa shine like a bright pearl, illuminating more than half of the survival base.

Many Evolvers who witnessed this scene were astonished.

Although they didn’t understand, it didn’t stop them from perceiving that a powerful figure was at the center of the divine light.

"Is it that Li Yi cultivating?"

Many people checked with their Intelligent Brain to see who was residing in the penthouse of that building, and it turned out to be Li Yi, who had just entered the survival base in the past couple of days.

Upon learning the truth, the majority fell silent, immediately classifying Li Yi as someone not to provoke.

Even many who disliked Li Yi had to bury their resentment deep down, overwhelmed by the unimaginable cosmic energy.

However, while Li Yi was cultivating.

At night, another event was unfolding.

Ye Jingtian, with two treasure swords hanging at his waist, stood in front of a building.

This building was shrouded in darkness, with not a single light, eerily quiet, making it stand out in the densely populated survival base.

Yet no one dared to voice any objections.

Because this was a residence with S-level authority.

After his investigation, Ye Jingtian found this place to be the most suspicious within the entire survival base, and the person Li Yi was watching, Zhang Yiming, seemed to have entered here and never appeared again.

"Zhang Tianxing, come out, it’s me, Ye Jingtian. I have something to discuss with you."

He suddenly called out, his voice penetrating into the dark building.

If Li Yi were here, he would surely be surprised to hear this name.

This Zhang Tianxing was once one of the top experts at the Golden Academy, having guarded the Sixth World’s base, and entered the Golden Academy long before Li Yi, yet unexpectedly appeared in this survival base.

But with such a history, it’s not surprising for him to have S-level authority here.

However, the dark building remained silent, with no response.

Even the Sixth Generation Intelligent Brain Xiaofei could not probe here.

For a long time, Zhang Tianxing had said he disliked being monitored, so he activated his own intelligent brain to block the survival base’s brain.

Back then, no one thought much of it; after all, experts are allowed a little eccentricity.

Moreover, many others disliked being monitored too.

"No response, is he not here, or does he know something’s exposed and doesn’t intend to cooperate?"

Ye Jingtian frowned at this moment; he was sure Zhang Tianxing was in that building.

"Seems like I’ll have to force my way in."

After saying this, Ye Jingtian drew out the two treasure swords from his waist.

One treasure sword emitted an azure divine light, while the other shone with purple divine light.

These were the Purple and Blue Twin Swords, not from the Xuanxian Continent, but something he found in an ancient ruin.
