Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 194 Conspiracy
"What a pity! If Second Brother had preserved his physical body back then, with your 'Heavenly Secrets Technique,' the three of us could have obtained more opportunities and quickly recovered our cultivation."

The woman shook her head slightly.

"It's all about timing and fate! Compared to others, I'm not doing too badly!"

Lin Kai was optimistic. After thinking for a moment, he said, "After I finish this job, I also want to get some top-tier Breakthrough Pills so I can quickly break through to the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Realm."

"This cultivation level is too low, making me hesitant and timid in my actions, which is very troublesome!"

When asked about his cultivation level, Lin Kai shook his head slightly, expressing his utter dissatisfaction with the aptitude of this body.

That's absolutely terrible!

Four types of mixed spiritual roots!
Not to mention compared to Lin Kai's previous spiritual roots, even in the cultivation world, eight or nine out of ten cultivators are much better than Lin Kai in terms of aptitude.

It's extremely difficult to improve one's cultivation level with this kind of spiritual root.

It requires a massive amount of resources.

If Lin Kai and his two companions weren't all important figures who were confident they could acquire substantial resources in the future, Lin Kai would have had to find a place, get married, have a few children, and retire peacefully until he died.

"Hmm! Second brother, this time, I'll prioritize exchanging the resources you acquire for ten 'Foundation Building Pills'! I estimate that these 'Foundation Building Pills' should be enough to raise your cultivation to the Foundation Building Realm."

The old man looked at Lin Kai, a hint of shame flashing in his eyes.

Over the years, Lin Kai has used almost all the resources he has earned with his third sister.

The person who puts in the most effort is often the one who consumes the least resources.

This filled him with guilt as the eldest brother, and he vowed in his heart: "As long as I recover my cultivation, I will do everything in my power to help my second brother return to his peak!"

"Yes! Second brother, this time, we'll help you! We'll definitely help you advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm! If ten Foundation Establishment Pills aren't enough, then we'll use twenty! We'll just have to force it to get you to the Foundation Establishment Realm!"

The young woman nodded repeatedly, agreeing with her brother's plan.

"Hahaha! You lot! Why feel guilty?"

"Big brother, I understand what Third Sister means," Lin Kai shook his head and smiled, "In the past few years, stabilizing your cultivation levels was the most important thing!"

"Besides, my qualifications are not good enough. Two of the three of us are useless, and the other has pitifully low qualifications. In a place like the South China Sea where there is no order, our safety cannot be guaranteed!"

"Restoring your cultivation level has naturally become the primary goal, and there is nothing wrong with this choice."

"Fortunately, we have all recovered over the years and survived without any major incidents."

"This time, let's pull off a big heist. We're sure we can gather the resources the three of us need!"

Lin Kai thought for a moment and said, "Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi are covered in treasures, all of which are spiritual artifacts. I roughly estimate that their wealth is no less than three or four million!"

"Add to that the wealth of various families, sects, and numerous independent cultivators. If this plan succeeds, we can get ten or twenty million spirit stones!"

"With ten or twenty million spirit stones, all three of us can raise our cultivation levels."

Hearing Lin Kai's words, even the old man and the young woman, with their gentle nature, couldn't help but reveal a hint of longing.

That night, the three of them discussed and revised their plan for a long time, constantly revising it to reveal the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

……

That night, Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi shared a room at the inn.

Yu Yunyi's face remained red. Seeing this, Li Yunjing chuckled and said, "Go and rest. I'll meditate all night."

"you……"

Yu Yunyi thought for a moment, her pretty face flushed, and she was too embarrassed to continue.

"Hehe! Go ahead!"

Li Yunjing took Yu Yunyi's small hand and led her to the bedside. He placed his hands on Yu Yunyi's fragrant shoulders and helped her sit on the bed.

After Yu Yunyi sat down, Li Yunjing turned and left. Near the door of the room, he tossed out a futon and sat down cross-legged.

"Ugh……"

Yu Yunyi felt a warmth in her heart; Li Yunjing's thoughtfulness filled her with sweetness.

With Li Yunjing watching over her that night, Yu Yunyi put down her bedding, took off her clothes, and fell into a deep sleep.

After entering the sea and traveling for a long time, experiencing a great battle, even cultivators will feel tired. Relaxing and getting a good rest is the best way to quickly recover.

Li Yunjing's mental strength was so powerful and vigorous that he was not fatigued at all.

He sat down quietly cross-legged, focusing on his cultivation, his divine sense covering the entire room to ensure Yu Yunyi's safety.

In the dead of night, the room and the surroundings were completely silent.

Suddenly, Li Yunjing frowned, his slightly closed eyes half-open and half-closed.

Before long, Li Yunjing sensed a cloud of mist outside the door twisting and turning into a human shape.

Someone actually appeared outside the door at this time.

"Things that don't know whether to live or die!"

A sinister smile played on Li Yunjing's lips. He remained motionless, but the "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword" had already flown out of his storage ring, its blade shrinking as it slipped into his sleeve.

The figure outside seemed to observe for a while, its divine sense constantly scanning the room. Only after confirming that Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi were not alerted did the figure let out a vicious, silent grin.

With a wave of his hand, five red worms, each the size of an earthworm, flew out from his sleeve and attached themselves to the wooden door.

The earthworm-like worms stretched their bodies along the crack in the door, like thin threads, and burrowed into the room.

Five tiny, wriggling worms crawled silently on the ground. Suddenly, they shot up and, with lightning speed, lunged at Li Yunjing's neck.

"Little Doyle!"

Li Yunjing opened his eyes, two beams of light flashed, and with a wave of his hand, five-colored light shimmered, forming a five-colored light shield that instantly enveloped the five small insects.

Five tiny, venomous insects fell into the colorful light barrier, constantly swimming around, trying to break through, but they couldn't tear apart this thin, water-like light curtain.

The five poisonous insects crawled even faster, and seemed to make some kind of hissing sound.

However, it was completely surrounded by this light shield and could not be transmitted out.

This was none other than the "Five Elements Sealing Technique" that Li Yunjing had recently learned and cultivated.

Li Yunjing only had a superficial understanding of this technique, but even so, taking down a few poisonous insects was a piece of cake.

"Wow..."

As the door opened and closed, before the person outside could even feel happy, he suddenly felt a gust of cold wind. The next instant, he felt a chill on his body. He looked down and saw a transparent blood hole in his chest, with blood dripping continuously!

Before the person could react, the body had already fallen to the ground!

Li Yunjing reached out and caught the body, preventing it from falling to the ground and making a sound that would wake Yu Yunyi.

"Hmph! I wonder where this person comes from! But anyone who harbors ill intentions towards me, kill them all!"

After casually collecting the man's belongings, Li Yunjing laid his body flat on the ground.

He then stood at the doorway, his divine sense sweeping across all directions.

Suddenly, outside the inn, Li Yunjing noticed two more suspicious figures.

In the middle of the night, instead of resting, they hid in a corner outside the inn, secretly observing it. This was clearly ill-intentioned!

Once suspicion arose, these two were essentially placed in the Book of Life and Death by the King of Hell.

Li Yunjing is not a member of the "Enforcement Hall," so he naturally doesn't care about evidence when handling matters!
If I start to doubt you, you're in big trouble!
Having left the inn silently, Li Yunjing had no need to be careful once outside. His domineering and violent aura, like an angry dragon emerging from the abyss, was already fiercely attacking one of them!

The chilling killing intent terrified the two lookouts on the street corner!

"Ok?"

"what happened?"

The two were startled when they suddenly saw someone appear on the street and charge towards them.

"Did our companion fail?"

The thought appeared in their minds almost simultaneously.

The moment this thought crossed their minds, the two panicked. They exchanged a glance, turned around at the same time, and split into two groups, fleeing without a fight!
"Want to escape? It's too late!"

Li Yunjing activated the "Three Yang Fire," burning the five poisonous insects encased in the light shield on his hand into ashes.

In the next instant, he caught up with one of them. Just as the person was about to resist, Li Yunjing moved even faster. With a "whoosh," the "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword" pierced through the heart!

Li Yunjing can kill Qi Refining Realm cultivators as easily as killing chickens!
Almost one sword kill per person!
"Fellow Taoist, spare your life!"

The other person had just escaped ten paces when he suddenly turned around and saw his companion dead. Terrified, he couldn't help but cry out in despair.

The three of them usually acted together, and all of them were at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Even if they encounter a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Realm, they can hold their own for a while.

Unexpectedly, this ambush not only failed, but two of them were killed in an instant.

The remaining person knew he had encountered a ruthless person and was terrified.

What use are you to me?

Li Yunjing picked up the deceased's storage bag, grabbed it, and with a flash, like a ghost, he caught up with the other person.

"puff……"

Before the man could explain, another flash of emerald light appeared, and his head flew off, a look of disbelief still lingering on his face. Three cultivators at the seventh level of Qi Refining had taken Li Yunjing less than six breaths.

Li Yunjing packed up his spoils before returning to the inn.

He also threw the first cultivator's corpse outside the inn.

The three bodies were not destroyed!
Li Yunjing wanted to warn the people behind this to be careful!
If you upset him, none of you will live!
In places like the sea, it's not about morality or law, but about who is stronger and more ruthless!
Before Li Yunjing began cultivating immortality, he spent three years in the martial arts world, living a life of constant danger.

I've adapted very well to this environment.

This chaotic place, however, excited Li Yunjing immensely!
"The cultivators in these seas are truly courting death!"

Back inside, seeing that Yu Yunyi was already awake, Li Yunjing looked apologetic.

"Hehe! The first person appeared outside the door. I was sleeping soundly and didn't hear it, but I heard you leave."

Yu Yunyi lay sprawled out, her jade-like arms supporting her head as she looked at Li Yunjing and chuckled softly.

"Hmm! My intention was to let you get some rest! I didn't expect that encountering some bedbugs would disturb your rest."

Li Yunjing sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and pinched Yu Yunyi's little face, and said softly.

"It's alright! I've rested for a few hours and I'm full of energy. Do you want to take a nap? I'll keep watch for you!"

Yu Yunyi chuckled, her eyes sparkling with energy, as if she had truly rested well.

"Alright! I'll lie down for an hour and a half!"

Feeling that there was still plenty of time, Li Yunjing thought about it and agreed.

He hasn't had a proper rest in a long time.

Although he doesn't feel tired right now, he thinks there are many tough battles waiting for him in the future.

The dangers of this sea area truly brook no negligence.

Perhaps in the days to come, he will have no chance to fall into a deep sleep.

We must cherish this opportunity!
"it is good!"

Seeing that Li Yunjing wanted to rest, Yu Yunyi propped herself up and was about to get up.

Her beautiful, delicate body was hidden beneath a thin veil, appearing and disappearing, extremely alluring.

Combined with the night and that alluring fragrance, a fire was burning within Li Yunjing's heart.

This made him feel dry-mouthed and very uncomfortable in an instant.

"Hehe! Let's go together!"

Without giving Yu Yunyi a chance to get up, Li Yunjing quickly removed his clothes and was already in bed in an instant.

"you……"

Yu Yunyi was startled, but quickly calmed down, realizing that she was already his woman anyway.

Sleeping together doesn't seem to be a problem.

When Yu Yunyi resigned herself to her fate, unexpectedly, Li Yunjing did not make any further moves.

With just one arm draped over Yu Yunyi's body, the two bodies leaned together, and Li Yunjing fell into a deep sleep.

Before long, soft snoring began.

"Ugh……"

Yu Yunyi looked at the person beside her with a complicated expression. Li Yunjing still respected her and did not make a move on her at this time.

This even made Yu Yunyi feel a little guilty.

After thinking for a moment, Yu Yunyi leaned into Li Yunjing's arms, almost becoming one with him.

Gazing quietly at Li Yunjing's resolute face, Yu Yunyi was somewhat mesmerized.

With sharp features, well-proportioned face, and a spirited demeanor, even in his sleep, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, carrying a hint of a smile.

Yu Yunyi liked the man she had personally chosen very much.

An hour and a half later, Li Yunjing opened his eyes, looked at Yu Yunyi leaning against him, and smiled slightly.

He gently kissed Yu Yunyi's smooth forehead and whispered, "Get up!"

"Ok, I know!"

Yu Yunyi's eyelashes trembled slightly; she was not asleep.

If you're going to keep watch, you should do it wholeheartedly.

Being in a foreign land, I felt completely unsafe.

If both of them were to fall into a deep sleep, who knows how many dangers they would encounter.

Feeling Li Yunjing gently kiss her, Yu Yunyi smiled sweetly.

She huddled tightly in Li Yunjing's arms, squeezing closer and closer, as if only by being pressed firmly against Li Yunjing could she feel safe.

Sensing Yu Yunyi's feelings, Li Yunjing calculated the time and found there was still some time left.

He wasn't in a hurry to get up. He stayed with Yu Yunyi for a long time, exploring the secrets of each other's bodies.

"Little lazy cat!"

Half an hour later, Li Yunjing chuckled and, amidst Yu Yunyi's exclamation, scooped up this perfect, delicate body.

After admiring that perfect, delicate body, Li Yunjing reluctantly dressed himself.

If we don't get up now, it will really be too late!
"You are so bad!"

During this tender half-hour, Li Yunjing was not well-behaved, and Yu Yunyi's entire body was covered in pink.

Clearly, she was completely in love.

"Hehe! Let's get ready, or we'll be late!"

He gave those alluring, warm, and glistening red lips a hard kiss, and only then did Li Yunjing say with lingering satisfaction.

"call……"

Yu Yunyi's breathing became rapid. She let out a long breath, then glared at Li Yunjing with her big, dazed eyes.

This guy only stirs up trouble, but doesn't know how to put it out!

"Humph!"

Thinking of this, Yu Yunyi snorted and silently recited the "calming mantra" before calming down and starting to get dressed and tidy herself up.

"hehe!"

Li Yunjing watched the beauty change her clothes with great interest.

This beautiful scenery made Li Yunjing linger for another fifteen minutes.

This time, it was really almost time, so Li Yunjing hurriedly checked out and prepared to head to the pier with Yu Yunyi.

Before leaving, Yu Yunyi whispered, "If you want it, I can..."

At this point, Yu Yunyi's face turned bright red again.

"Hehe! We'll talk about it next time!"

This beautiful woman's shy expression ignited a fire in Li Yunjing's heart. He couldn't resist giving her alluring red lips another passionate kiss before softly speaking.

"Um……"

Yu Yunyi was a little out of breath and it took her a long time to calm down. A complicated look flashed in her eyes.

After leaving the inn, Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi moved quickly and soon arrived at Pier No. 4 together.

At this moment, the dock was already crowded with people. Li Yunjing glanced around and estimated that there were at least a thousand cultivators here.

Almost all of them were Qi Refining Realm cultivators, but whether there were any Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators hidden among them was something Li Yunjing could not easily discern in a short time.

However, based on Li Yunjing's experience, he estimated that such people definitely exist.

Even he and Yu Yunyi were full of interest in the "Strange Rock Sea Area," and they didn't believe that these Foundation Establishment cultivators could remain indifferent.

It is highly beneficial for Foundation Establishment cultivators to mingle among Qi Refining cultivators.

If a real opportunity arises, and you suddenly appear and catch your opponent off guard, you might actually gain some benefit.

"Alright! Everyone, line up one by one! Our fleet is large enough to accommodate everyone!"

At this moment, the "Haitao faction" members on the dock began shouting loudly to maintain order.

Looking around, Li Yunjing saw large ships, each the size of a "Qingyun Boat," floating on the sea. These were no ordinary ships.

Each one possesses the quality of a top-grade magical artifact.

Such a massive warship, in terms of combat power, is far more powerful than dozens of top-grade magical artifacts.

However, limited by their ability to forge weapons, the "Haitao Sect" was clearly unable to forge a second-tier warship.
