Uncle Nine: Starting with double pupils, he turned his master into a zombie.

Inside Qingyun Pavilion.

The exchange of Yin and evil items continues in an orderly manner.

Many Foundation Establishment cultivators, even with the intention of currying favor and building a closer relationship, accepted less of Li Yu's things, or even refused them altogether!

Li Yu did not accept this offer.

He doesn't like owing others.

Seeing this, many cultivators could only sigh helplessly.

At this moment, Li Yu tossed a storage bag to Qing Shi Sanren.

"Fellow Daoists, we are truly sorry for suddenly attacking you on your territory and causing considerable losses."

"This is just a small compensation; I hope you two will understand."

Faced with Li Yu's words and the rather heavy storage bag in his hand, Qing Shi Sanren was somewhat flattered.

He was prepared for the losses and didn't even intend to speak about it.

I never expected that the arrogant and cruel double-pupiled person who killed Yu Jianzi would actually give me such face!

Thinking this way, Qing Shi Sanren and Yun Xi Sanren found Li Yu increasingly pleasing to the eye.

Not only is he exceptionally talented and powerful, but he also knows how to conduct himself in society!

Fellow Daoist Li Yu has a limitless future!

That's just how it is; other people's attitudes toward you depend entirely on your value.

If a Qi Refining cultivator had done this, Qing Shi would have slapped him to death long ago, leaving no chance for compensation.

They wouldn't even give other Foundation Establishment cultivators a friendly look.

Could it be Li Yu who did such a thing?

That would be different!

The two were not angry at all; in fact, they were quite pleased!

"Fellow Daoist Li, such a trivial matter is not worth mentioning."

"And if we're really talking about compensation, this is way too much..."

Li Yu waved his hand in response to Qing Shi Sanren's offer to return the item.

"Take it, let's be friends."

"You two are just ordinary folks, are you perhaps not showing me any respect?"

Upon hearing this, Qing Shi and Yun Xi stopped making excuses and beamed with joy.

Hey friends! We love making friends!

Time passed second by second.

These people were quickly exploited by Li Yu.

Even Qing Shi and Yun Xi, who didn't have many Yin Sha items left, exchanged them with Li Yu.

The harvest this time was truly bountiful!

Now that Li Yu is quite wealthy, if he were to use the power of sublimation to enhance those Yin and evil objects...

Breaking through to the peak of Foundation Establishment is not impossible.

Just as he was smilingly examining the Yin-type items in the storage bag...

The words of a Foundation Establishment cultivator instantly caught his attention!

Have you heard?

"A Qing dynasty prince from a frontier region has died and is being escorted to the capital!"

"The border prince...the one from the northern border? Wasn't he dead for several years?"

"Good heavens, they've been dead for so long, and they still have to dig them out and transport them to the capital? What is the Qing court thinking?"

"Who knows? The world is in chaos. The Qing court seems to know it doesn't have long to live, and it's acting more and more recklessly. Recently, even the loyal dogs of the Hidden Dragon Guard have become unreliable. Nine out of ten Qi Refining cultivators who had the idea of ​​cooperating with them have been killed. This matter has already started to spread, and I estimate that the Qing court's reputation will soon be ruined."

"Alas...the world is in chaos, and it is the common people who suffer!"

"More than that, who knows if we might encounter some misfortune one day..."

"........."

A frontier prince being transported to the capital?

Why does this sound so familiar?

Looking in that direction, Li Yu spoke.

"Fellow Daoist, could you please tell me more about this border prince?"

Upon hearing Li Yu's question, the cultivator's eyes lit up instantly.

He was just worried about how to build a relationship with Li Yu, so how could he refuse after hearing this?

Let alone asking this Qing Dynasty prince who has absolutely no connection to him, he could grit his teeth and tell you the color of his wife's underwear if he asked!

"Fellow Daoist Li, the situation is like this..."

Halfway through his speech, the cultivator suddenly stopped, looking at Shi Jian, clearly hesitating about something.

Noticing his gaze, Shi Jian spoke calmly.

"It's alright, just say it, you don't need to worry about me."

"That's right. As far as I know, besides the Qi Refining cultivators who accompanied the prince as a figurehead, the Taoist Master Qianhe from Maoshan was also escorting him back to the capital!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yu's eyes lit up immediately.

Just as he guessed!

It's that royal zombie!

I never expected that something so unintentional would turn out so well.

Even after arriving at the gathering in Hengcheng, I was still able to obtain information on this matter.

Upon hearing this, Shi Jian frowned, clearly showing his displeasure.

"How did that brat Chizuru end up getting involved with the Qing court?"

"This guy is getting more and more outrageous!"

How could these cultivators possibly get involved with the imperial court?

Focus on your cultivation, and don't get involved in matters of national importance!

Even the black-clad prime minister who had helped the previous dynasty rise to power did not have a good ending!

Past examples have already proven everything!

Moreover, the Qing government at that time wanted to subdue Maoshan and turn it into its own power.

They've been exchanging blows quite a bit between the two sides!

What is that brat Chizuru thinking?

Shi Jian grew angrier the more he thought about it, and lightning crackled around him, his imposing aura terrifying!

Even a weak ghost would be terrified out of its wits with just a glance!

The Foundation Establishment cultivator who was giving the narration couldn't help but stiffen his expression.

If this senior disciple from Maoshan gets angry, he won't be able to stop him!

Fortunately, Li Yu spoke up at this moment, offering gentle reassurance.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Shi won't attack you. You can relax."

"Fellow Daoist, do you know the route the Prince of Jiang takes back to the capital? Could you please provide me with a copy?"

Although it was a question, Li Yu was certain that this kid definitely knew!

He can even tell you who's escorting him; this guy is definitely good at intelligence gathering!

Without hesitation, the cultivator handed over the route for the border prince to return to the capital to Li Yu.

After observing for a moment, Li Yu spoke with emotion.

"Fellow Daoist, you are truly capable, able to obtain such information. May I ask your name?"

"My name is Cheng Yuan, and I'm a member of the All-Knowing Team. I may not have much else, but I have a lot of information!"

"If Fellow Daoist Li wishes to know anything in the future, feel free to ask me. Rest assured, I will never charge you for anything I know!"

"Furthermore, if you have any information you wish to sell, I will certainly offer a good price!"

"Fellow Daoist Li, this is my communication talisman!"

Seeing that things had developed as he had imagined, Cheng Yuan spoke up excitedly.

Li Yu was somewhat surprised to see this.

The All-Knowing Sect is a bizarre sect in the cultivation world that survives by selling information. I never expected to encounter them here!

After receiving the message talisman, Li Yu returned the message talisman in kind.

Cheng Yuan then walked away happily.

Upon witnessing this scene, everyone rushed forward to exchange communication talismans, including the two highly respected elder cultivators, Qing Shi and Yun Xi.

Li Yu did not refuse.

As the saying goes, having more friends means having more options; you never know when you might need their help.

At this moment, Shi Jian finally calmed down and sent a telepathic message to Li Yu through the secret passage.

"Do you have conflicts with the Qing court?"

Li Yu's behavior just now couldn't have been more obvious. After all, if you're just watching the show, why would you ask someone for directions?

Moreover, given his character, he doesn't seem like the type to offer help; he clearly has ulterior motives!

"A tiny bit, I guess. Those mad dogs from the Hidden Dragon Guard chased after me."

Upon hearing this, Shi Jian raised an eyebrow.

"Do you need me to step in? With Maoshan here, those mad dogs won't dare to act recklessly."

"It's alright, I have my own plans."

Li Yu naturally refused.

After all, without the Hidden Dragon Guards, where would takeout delivery be?

Seeing this, Shi Jian didn't say anything more, and suddenly changed the subject.

"After that, you're probably going to intercept that border prince on his way back to the capital, right?"

"What, you're going too?"

Li Yu did not deny it, but only said it jokingly.

However, an unexpected scene unfolded.

Shi Jian actually nodded!

"Hmm... I have my own ideas, but it's fine if I don't know about this."

"Now that I know, I can't just sit idly by. Don't worry, I won't delay your business."

"I want to see what that brat Chizuru is really thinking!"

Upon hearing these words, Li Yu's expression immediately turned strange.

Okay, okay... this is really turning into a high-level game, isn't it!

Himself, Shi Jian, Qianhe, Four Eyes, Ikkyu...

Let alone a royal zombie, this lineup could fight even if the entire Hidden Dragon Guard was brought over!

After only a moment's hesitation, Li Yu nodded in agreement.

Isn't it interesting to make things more interesting without taking a toll on yourself?

Just imagining the scene, Li Yu couldn't help but laugh...
