Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 14 Kill

Ji Yuan, who had been gently tapping his knee with his right hand, suddenly stopped, and his gaze turned to Qiu Qianhai.

The latter nodded.

"He's already lying in ambush on Turtle Island. Let me lead you there."

Ji Yuan didn't rush to speak, but silently pondered in his mind... Liu Laizi wants to kill me, but I have no grudge against him, and I don't even know him.

If that's the case, then it's most likely what Old Man Huang was talking about.

He killed my parents, and now he's trying to kill me...

"Then why did you tell me this? Why didn't you just team up with him?" Ji Yuan asked with a smile.

Qiu Qianhai shook his head and said quite naturally, "I have very few friends, and you are the only one."

"I can kill anyone in Zengtou City, but not you."

"So since Liu Laizi wants to kill you, we might as well kill him instead."

Ji Yuan nodded slightly.

"If I remember correctly, Liu Laizi is already at the fifth level of Qi Refining, right?" Ji Yuan asked.

"Yeah, but he got injured on Maple Leaf Island, and I'm already at the fourth level of Qi Refining. What about you?"

After Qiu Qianhai finished speaking, he gave Ji Yuan a serious look, and then finally showed a hint of emotion, "You've actually reached the mid-stage of Qi Refining?"

Qiu Qianhai's impression of Ji Yuan was still based on his time at the second level of Qi Refining.

It's only been two months since we last had any contact, and Ji Yuan has already reached the fourth level of Qi Refining. How could he not be surprised?

"Just lucky, just lucky."

Ji Yuan smiled.

"Then there's even less of a problem. Liu Laizi is just an injured fifth-level Qi Refining cultivator, while the two of us are unharmed fourth-level Qi Refining cultivators. Killing him is a piece of cake!"

Seeing that this wasn't the first time he had killed someone, Qiu Qianhai stood up decisively and said...

Ji Yuan didn't get up, but instead reached out to stop him.

"Um?"

"He always lures people out of Yunyuze to kill them. If we stay in Zengtou City, he probably won't dare to make a move directly, right? Besides... do you think Liu Laizi wouldn't have considered that you, Qiu Qianhai, would be on my side?"

Ji Yuan shared his thoughts.

"You mean, he wants to kill me too?"

Qiu Qianhai hadn't expected this at all.

"The fact that Liu Laizi has survived in Zengtou City until now speaks volumes about his cunning. We can both figure out that he's just an injured Qi Refining Level 5 cultivator, so he must understand it himself."

"A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall. Liu Laizi is certainly not a wise man, but he must understand this principle. So he is probably using himself as bait to catch the two of us."

After Ji Yuan finished speaking in one breath, Qiu Qianhai, who had calmed down, had a dark look in his eyes... It was probably true. How much was Ji Yuan worth?

His real target was himself.

Otherwise, why would he agree to any request I make so readily?

After sitting down again, Qiu Qianhai analyzed, "That Liu Laizi definitely doesn't know you've already reached the fourth level of Qi Refining. Besides, if he wanted to invite someone, inviting someone at the early stage of Qi Refining wouldn't be very effective, and he probably couldn't invite someone at the fifth level. So, the person he invites would most likely only be at the fourth level, and he could still kill them!"

Qiu Qianhai was very confident in himself.

Ji Yuan remained silent.

Qiu Qianhai saw through his thoughts, "You think you can hide in Zengtou City and that Liu Laizi won't dare to kill you?"

"No, it's just..."

"There's nothing to it. You just said that a wise man doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, so I'll give you a piece of advice too."

"A gentleman should be killed when necessary!"

Qiu Qianhai suddenly stood up. "Since Liu Laizi has his eye on you, he will try every means to kill you, regardless of whether he succeeds this time or not."

"If you are willing to go today, then go; if you are not willing, I will go and meet him myself."

Qiu Qianhai, who always puts his life on the line, doesn't know what fear is.

Ji Yuan's mind raced... I'm now at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and I have Water Arrow Technique and Water Drop Finger Technique for offense, plus a Lightning Strike Talisman. I also have 20 spirit stones on me.

Furthermore, what Qiu Qianhai said does make sense.

Liu Laizi has his eye on me. If I don't take advantage of his injury to get rid of him, I'll be the one in trouble once he recovers.

You might not even be able to sleep soundly.

"grass!"

Ji Yuan stood up as well, "I'm going to Zengtou City again to buy some things, and then I'll fucking kill them!"

Qiu Qianhai, who was already about to leave, turned around and smiled.

"That's too vulgar. It should be... 'His mother's'."

On the way to Zengtou City.

"Are you educated?" Ji Yuan asked curiously.

"My father loves reading classical Chinese texts, and I've been exposed to them since I was little, so I know a little bit about them."

"You're not exactly known for being refined, are you? You just picked up that 'girly' thing?"

"Bullshit! I also know 'Mother, you are truly displeasing to your mother!' 'You son of a bitch!' 'You dog!' and many more."

Ji Yuan looked at him suspiciously. "You really didn't take the opportunity to insult me?"

"How could that be? You're my brother." Qiu Qianhai shook his head and said, "Besides, would I need to take the opportunity to scold you?"

"You son of a bitch!"

Ji Yuan punched him, and Qiu Qianhai quickly clutched his shoulder, gasping for breath. "You brat, you've practiced body tempering, haven't you?"

"How is this possible?!"

The two chatted and laughed, seemingly without any pressure from the impending life-or-death battle.

Ji Yuan arrived at the Treasure Pavilion and spent 10 of his 20 spirit stones to purchase another mid-grade talisman—the Golden Body Talisman.

He could afford to buy lightning strike talismans as a trump card, and he didn't think Liu Laizi wouldn't have one either. Therefore, a life-saving talisman was exceptionally precious.

With the remaining 10 spirit stones, he spent 5 of them to buy a healing herbal pill.

The last five spirit stones were used by Qiu Qianhai to recommend a killing move.

One Water Ball Talisman costs one spirit stone, plus a bottle of Itching Venom costs two spirit stones.

Drip the itch-inducing venom onto the water talisman and throw it out; the water talisman will then turn into a poison talisman. In this way, even if it doesn't harm the opponent, just a little bit of the poison splashes onto them and it will have a miraculous effect.

"You're so dirty."

Ji Yuan sat on Qiu Qianhai's Dharma boat, watching the scenery rushing past him, and finally felt a little nervous.

"Let's see who Liu Laizi invited first. I know most of the fourth-level Qi Refining cultivators in Zengtou City... I'll leave the weakest one for you."

"Remember, don't hold back. Once you gain the upper hand, beat your opponent to a pulp."

Qiu Qianhai solemnly instructed.

"rest assured."

Although Ji Yuan had never killed anyone, he understood this principle when faced with life and death.

"Um."

Qiu Qianhai was not a talkative person. After giving this instruction, he did not speak again until about half an hour later, when he sat down on the Dharma boat and suddenly slowed down.

"arrive."

As its name suggests, Wogui Island is shaped like a reclining turtle.

At this moment, on the sandy shore of Wogui Island, Liu Laizi was sitting cross-legged. Qiu Qianhai's ship approached, but did not go ashore.

Liu Laizi slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the figures on the Dharma boat, and sneered:

"I never imagined that such a touching story of brotherhood would actually exist in Zengtou City."
