I just want to kill you all, or be killed by you all.

Li Yang doesn't really like businessmen.

Perhaps it was because he had seen too many speculators and profiteers on Earth in his previous life.

However, if he could learn the secrets of Mu Zangfeng and Qianyang Shengzi's trump cards from the other party, he would be willing to sit down and have a chat.

The upper three floors of Jiuding Jubaozhai were open-air, but seeing Li Yang sitting so casually in the chair, the woman had no choice but to bite the bullet and sit down as well.

After all, he was a merchant who dared to build markets on the battlefield, and he also had a big heart.

The woman brewed a pot of tea and sat down outdoors.

As she poured tea for Li Yang, making gurgling sounds, she smiled faintly and asked:

"I wonder whether I should address you as Fellow Daoist Qin Feng or Fellow Daoist Li Yang?"

"Fellow Daoist will do," Li Yang replied casually.

This answer reflects a desire to avoid further entanglement with the other party.

"This is my senior brother Li," Ning Xi said with a hint of enthusiasm, taking the initiative to introduce him.

Li Yang glanced at her.

"This is my friend, Shen Yaoyin," Ning Xi introduced, adding with a hint of helplessness, "Senior brother, you're too violent. You should at least give her some face. After all, with your killing efficiency, you'll inevitably have to find someone to dispose of your stolen goods in the future."

Li Yang didn't like hearing this:

"What do you mean by 'sinking stolen goods'? You make it sound like I'm some kind of demon who specializes in murder and robbery. These are all spoils of war that I've obtained day and night through killing!"

"It's alright," Shen Yaoyin said. "Our Jiuding Chamber of Commerce has never been afraid of whether the source of the spoils of war is illegitimate, nor is it afraid of any trouble that might be involved."

Afterwards, Li Yang drank tea on the side, while Shen Yaoyin led Ning Xi to take stock of the spoils of war obtained in this battle.

A specialist restored the damaged building to its original condition in just fifteen minutes.

The other party seems to specialize in this business; their efficiency is too high. No wonder Shen Yaoyin was able to quickly establish a huge market in the remote Qixia Mountains.

Not long after——

"The deal is done. All the spoils that we don't need have been sold. The money will be used to buy rare and precious materials needed for body tempering, as well as a few kinds of oral body-refining elixirs."

Ning Xi and Shen Yaoyin entered the room.

"The information regarding Mu Zangfeng and the Holy Son of Qianyang will be considered as a bonus in this transaction."

Li Yang straightened his expression and sat up straight.

That's what he cares about most.

"I've heard that Mu Zangfeng cultivates both internal and external sword techniques, but why have I only seen him use external sword techniques and never seen his sword pellets?" Li Yang asked bluntly, voicing his biggest question.

So far, he has never seen Mu Zangfeng use the sword pellet, which must contain extremely terrifying power.

"His sword pellet came from the Sword Pellet Small World of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect. It was a sword pellet that the Xuanyuan Ancestor used to slay a true immortal when he was in the Human Immortal Realm," Shen Yaoyin said, revealing something astonishing.

Li Yang was surprised.

It is terrifying that a human in the Immortal Realm could kill a true immortal.

But where do immortals come from?

Isn't the highest realm in the cultivation world of Kyushu the Human Immortal Supreme?

Seemingly sensing Li Yang's disbelief, Shen Yaoyin explained:

"The Immortal Remnant State we are in is said to have once been a true immortal land, containing countless opportunities for immortal cultivation. The immortal of that time practiced a kind of evil method that allowed him to gain longevity through sacrifice. It is for this reason that the Dao Alliance united with dozens of human immortal realm supreme beings from the Nine Provinces to attack it."

Even so, that person was a true immortal, whose strength was terrifying.

In the end, it was your ancestor Xuanyuan who, despite the cost of self-destructing his natal sword pellet, finally killed him.

According to classical records, on the day the immortal fell, blood rained down across the land, countless cultivators broke through their cultivation realms on the spot, and all kinds of rare and precious materials sprang up like mushrooms after rain, bringing blessings to the land.

The sword intent contained within that sword pellet merged with the dissipation of the immortal, giving birth to a supreme sword pellet stained with the blood of the immortal, carrying the will of the Xuanyuan Ancestor.

Moreover, after killing the immortal, the Xuanyuan Ancestor, who was already at the peak of the Human Immortal Realm, ascended to heaven on the spot, and the sword pellet remained in the sword pellet small world of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect, and has not yet recognized a master.

It's said that perhaps it looked down on any sword cultivator weaker than the Xuanyuan Ancestor, or perhaps it was still waiting for its master to come and take it away. Until it was forcibly restrained by Mu Zangfeng using evil magic.

Li Yang understood.

This is a true secret of the Nine Provinces, which further highlights the terrifying power of Mu Zangfeng's sword pellet.

"So the reason it's not being used is either because it hasn't been fully refined yet, or because the sword pellet doesn't approve of it."

"Hmm—" Shen Yaoyin pondered for a moment, "He should have both. He not only stole the Immortal-Slaying Sword Pill, but also mastered an extremely profound and dangerous secret technique within the Xuanyuan Sword Sect, which is said to be called—the Purple Mansion Furnace Technique."

"Transform the Purple Mansion into a sword-refining furnace, and by absorbing the sword pellets of other inner sword cultivators, use the intent of those other sword pellets to suppress the Immortal-Slaying Sword Pellet, causing it to lose its own will. Only in this way can it be refined."

Li Yang understood. No wonder Mu Zangfeng specifically hunted down inner sword cultivators; the problem lay in their relationship.

"If it's so dangerous, why did the Xuanyuan Sword Sect leave this secret technique behind?" Li Yang asked, puzzled.

"The path of killing is equally dangerous, yet you're also competing for it." Shen Yaoyin's answer was concise. "It's said that this secret technique involves fusing multiple sword pellets. Mu Zangfeng went astray and started specifically hunting down sword pellets that other sword cultivators had already refined."

Li Yang understood:

"If that's the case, then Mu Zangfeng must have already completed the refining and mastered the Immortal Slaying Sword Pill. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to fight me to the death on the battlefield."

Shen Yaoyin nodded, "That's probably true. He's still a primordial sword embryo. Even if the Immortal Slaying Sword Pill doesn't recognize it, as long as he forcibly masters it, he can still unleash its greatest power."

"Besides that, does he have any other trump cards up his sleeve?"

Shen Yaoyin handed over a jade slip:

"It contains all of Mu Zangfeng's movements after he defected from the Xuanyuan Sword Sect, as well as the treasures and opportunities he may have acquired."

Li Yang took it, placed it on his forehead, and understood.

"A tattered ancient suit of armor, a treasure of destiny guarding the sea of ​​consciousness..."

Li Yang put down the jade slip, already understanding the situation.

"What about the Holy Son Qianyang?"

Shen Yaoyin took out another jade slip:

"He successfully condensed his Nascent Soul five years ago, and with his status as the Holy Son of the Great Sun Haotian Holy Land, he has several Daoist partners with top-tier Yin attribute physiques. His physique is his greatest trump card."

But the same—

His physical condition is also his biggest drawback!

Li Yang said "Oh," and asked curiously:

"Do you perhaps possess methods specifically targeting his Qianyang Emperor Physique?"

Shen Yaoyin smiled mysteriously and instead asked, "Fellow Daoist Li, you should have fought against the Holy Son Qianyang before. Were you ever suppressed by his physique?"

"Suppress?" Li Yang frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head. "No, I just felt that guy was as blazing as the sun, trying to annihilate me."

Shen Yaoyin's beautiful eyes shone even brighter:

"That's right. The Qianyang Emperor's Body surpasses the Human Emperor's Body and can suppress all males, except for those whose masculinity surpasses his."

"Male charm?" Li Yang had heard this term before, but he only knew its surface meaning and didn't know what it specifically referred to, so he couldn't help but look at Ning Xi.

"If we're talking about competition between men, it's about a male cultivator's complete dominance in terms of destiny, fortune, Dao heart, and combat power, leaving his peers far behind." Ning Xi smiled slightly, then changed the subject, "If we're talking about attraction between the sexes, the winner in a competition between men never lies in physical appearance or reproductive instincts. What makes humans transcend beasts is their humanity—in the eyes of us women, a man's inner character and vision are the truly fatal charm."

After a pause, Ning Xi looked at Li Yang, her beautiful eyes filled with an indescribable emotion:

"For example, the clarity behind decisiveness, the equal attitude of being neither humble nor arrogant, the contradictory feeling of not deliberately showing off but revealing one's sharpness, the ability to bear the consequences, and the sense of responsibility of not making promises lightly but keeping them even at the cost of one's life."

As she finished speaking, Ning Xi looked at Li Yang with her beautiful eyes, and even the air seemed to become a little damp, shimmering like autumn water.

Shen Yaoyin, who was standing to the side, was a shrewd person and could tell at a glance that Ning Xi had definitely done something with Li Yang.

From the moment Ning Xi took Li Yang's teacup and drank it without even realizing it—this unconscious intimacy had crossed the line of propriety. If it weren't for the close intimacy of lips and teeth touching, how could they dare to share their private imprints so recklessly?

"So? What are the drawbacks you're talking about?"

Shen Yaoyin didn't keep anyone in suspense.

It seems that he learned about Li Yang's personality from Ning Xi.

She took out a pink bead with her other hand.

Upon seeing this item, Li Yang suddenly sat up from his chair.

These pink beads are the very culprits that caused him to lose his virginity!

"It is undeniable that the Holy Son of Qianyang is powerful and his temperament is impeccable, but he has an almost obsessive madness when it comes to the opposite sex and dual cultivation. This thing was made from the corpse of a Mahayana stage Hehuan Void Immortal, and if it is unleashed at close range, it is impossible to defend against."

Once he is infected, the effects will be extremely strong.

"Wouldn't it be difficult to kill him then?"

Li Yang reached out to take it, but Shen Yaoyin pulled it away, her expression serious.

"This gift is given to you out of consideration for Ning Xi, but you must swear an oath with your Dao heart that you will never reveal that it was given to you by me. Otherwise, even my Nine Cauldrons Merchant Guild cannot afford to offend such a behemoth as the Great Sun Haotian Holy Land!"

Li Yang was naturally aware of this and made a vow.

After chatting for a while longer, they took their leave with Ning Xi.

This trip has been very fruitful.

Although there's no way to deal with Mu Zangfeng, obtaining the key treasure to kill Qianyang Saint Son is definitely worth it.

But not long after the two left—

Shen Yaoyin stood at the window on the top floor of Jiuding Jubaozhai, looking in the direction the two had left.

She was alone in the room, but she kept talking to herself:

"Sell this intelligence to the Holy Son of Qianyang. In addition, Li Yang possesses a peculiar killing physique that can sense even the slightest killing intent—this information is also packaged and sold to Jiang Xingzhou."

"Yes." A voice sounded in the room, but it was hesitant. "Li Yang is an extreme person. If he finds out, he might hold a grudge against you, Miss."

"I'm a businessman, and a businessman is someone who can please everyone."

"Isn't Miss afraid he might become the second Xuanyuan Ancestor?"

Shen Yaoyin laughed: "To be honest, if it weren't for Ning Xi, I wouldn't even have invested in him."

I don't think a reckless swordsman who has no trump cards or tricks up his sleeve but still dares to yell at a group of powerful figures he can't afford to offend can live for long.

With old scores unresolved and having offended countless sects and forces within the Ancient Immortal Secret Realm, even if he is the son of the Dao Alliance Leader, he probably won't live long.
