Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 16 Dividing the Spoils

Old Wu didn't rush to act, but instead glanced at the already dead Liu Laizi, his expression shifting several times.

As for Qiu Qianhai, who was opposite him, he had already been beaten black and blue by the bamboo pole.

His original intention was for the two of them to attack together and kill Old Wu, but since Ji Yuan had already said that, he wouldn't say anything more.

"Heh, heh heh... Truly, heroes emerge from among the young."

Old Wu chuckled a few times, "I never thought that Liu Laizi, who had dominated Zengtou City for more than ten years, would end up dying at the hands of Brother Ji."

"They deserved to die."

The water arrow in Ji Yuan's hand did not dissipate; in fact, it seemed as if it might slip out of his grasp.

"They certainly deserved to die... Oh well!"

Old Wu threw down the bamboo pole in his hand. "Liu Laizi is dead. There's no point in me persisting. Today, I, Old Wu, admit defeat."

"It should have been done a long time ago."

Ji Yuan dispersed the water arrow technique and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"But I have to admit, Brother Ji, you are really amazing. You were able to withstand the pain of the Water Drop Finger and you even carried two mid-grade talismans with you. You are really strong."

After Wu Laochuan finished speaking, he even bowed to Ji Yuan in a proper manner.

But the moment he stood up, Qiu Qianhai's expression changed drastically. Before he could even speak, he hurriedly threw out a water balloon.

Even so, his first thought was still...it's too late.

The moment Wu Laochuan bowed, a streak of blood shot out from his chest, pointing directly at Ji Yuan opposite him.

That old devil never intended to surrender in the first place!

Damn it, Ji Yuan is strong, but he's still young and inexperienced. How can we trust such a cunning and treacherous cultivator?!

In the blink of an eye, just as the thought flashed through Qiu Qianhai's mind, he saw a glimmer of light in the shade of light blue.

That's a water droplet finger.

It was even faster than the blood-red light opposite it, not in terms of speed, but in terms of... striking first!

The moment Wu Laochuan lowered his head, Ji Yuan had already made his move!

"laugh--"

At such close range, the azure light struck Wu Laochuan directly between the eyebrows and then exited from the back of his head.

"Bang—"

He fell heavily to the ground, along with the golden light that had pierced through Ji Yuan's protective barrier and was about to pierce his brow.

"You son of a bitch!"

Qiu Qianhai stepped forward and fired a water arrow, piercing Wu Laochuan's head to pieces like a watermelon, with some red and white water even splashing onto him.

Ji Yuan, who had been fine just moments before, turned pale upon seeing the headless corpse.

Qiu Qianhai glanced at him and couldn't help but force a smile from his swollen face.

"Get used to it, you'll be killing people quite often in the future."

After saying that, he walked towards Liu Laizi's corpse, clearly intending to finish him off.

But unexpectedly...

"You fucking still alive?!"

Ji Yuan, who was still gagging, immediately got up and leaped to Qiu Qianhai's side, his hands already forming the Water Drop Finger.

At this moment, Liu Laizi's forehead was split open, and blood was flowing from his seven orifices.

Although he was alive, he was barely breathing. He looked at Ji Yuan coming over, tugged at the corners of his mouth, and made a weak sound.

"I used the same method to kill your parents back then. Do you know who helped me call them out?"

"Who?"

Ji Yuan was genuinely curious about this.

"Come closer, and I'll tell you," Liu Laizi said with all his might.

Ji Yuan flicked his right index finger, and a water droplet-shaped finger shot pierced through the web of Liu Laizi's right hand. Liu Laizi groaned, and an unnatural blush flashed across his face.

"Ha, you are... a man of... backbone."

"So be it, so be it, it's Old Man Huang."

After Liu Laizi gave his answer, he stared blankly at the clouds in the sky. It was unclear what this dying man was thinking.

It was him... Ji Yuan was both surprised and unsurprised to hear this answer.

Surprisingly, Ji Qingyun and Old Man Huang used to have a good relationship. Whenever there was a festival, Ji Qingyun would make a special gift for Old Man Huang. Unexpectedly, Old Man Huang would actually try to harm Ji Qingyun.

Unsurprisingly, Old Huang was indeed that kind of person.

His personality can be seen from the way he treats Lin Hu's family.

"He's dead."

Qiu Qianhai stared at Liu Laizi's eyes for a while before speaking.

Ji Yuan grunted in agreement and unleashed another Water Drop Finger, piercing Liu Laizi's forehead.

Qiu Qianhai then bent down and removed the storage bag from Liu Laizi's waist. He then took out a small porcelain bottle from his own storage bag, poured out a drop of black liquid, and dripped it onto the corpse.

In an instant, the corpse dissolved and decayed.

Even their clothes were gone.

This method of disposing of the body and erasing evidence is excellent; it's practically an essential remedy for those roaming the martial world... Ji Yuan's heart stirred.

Before Ji Yuan could speak, Qiu Qianhai said, "Corpse-dissolving water, house number nine in Zengtou City. You said Qiu Qianhai introduced you there, and that lame man Li will sell it to you for one spirit stone per bottle."

"it is good."

Then Qiu Qianhai used the same method to dissolve Wu Laochuan's body, and collected the two magical artifacts, the bamboo pole and the short knife, from the ground. Ji Yuan picked up the embroidery needle that Wu Laochuan had tried to use to assassinate him.

"We shouldn't linger in this dangerous place; let's find another place to divide the spoils."

Qiu Qianhai was clearly very experienced in murder and robbery.

"it is good."

Before long, a French ship headed straight north and sailed into the deeper part of this cloud and rain marshland.

Turtle Island is located northeast of Zengtou City. An hour later, in a small reed marsh northwest of Zengtou City, Qiu Qianhai emptied the contents of his two storage bags all at once.

What came into view were several pink undergarments worn by female cultivators. Judging from their appearance, they had been worn before.

"That son of a bitch, Wu Laochuan."

Qiu Qianhai tossed it aside before starting to divide the spoils.

Liu Laizi had just experienced a great battle in Yunyuze, so he didn't have much wealth on him. He only had 5 spirit stones left, and only 2 antidote pills. He had also used up all the healing herbal pills. His talismans were almost gone, with only low-level talismans like water shield talismans and water ball talismans left.

The magical artifacts were the black gold short sword from before, plus a dark blue-black magical boat.

"That old man probably suffered quite a bit on Maple Leaf Island."

Qiu Qianhai muttered to himself.

Ji Yuan's gaze fell on Wu Laochuan's valuables. With just one glance, a feeling popped into his mind... Murder and arson bring wealth!

He estimated that there were nearly 40 spirit stones, and four bottles of pills: two bottles of herbal pills, one bottle of antidote pills, and one bottle of blood-burning pills.

As for talismans, there are more than a dozen low-grade talismans.

Two mid-grade talismans: one lightning strike talisman and one water shadow talisman for escaping.

Unfortunately, he died before he could even use his skills.

As for magical artifacts, he has one more: a magic boat, a bamboo pole-like artifact, and the embroidery needle that Ji Yuan just picked up for a sneak attack.

"There are also magical techniques involved."

As Qiu Qianhai spoke, he shook out three more jade slips, each engraved with the name of a different technique.

Ji Yuan, with his sharp eyes, picked one up...

The Art of Controlling Objects.
