Chapter 1002: The Old Swindler!
“You have just obtained benefits, and I believe you need some time to comprehend them. Take this, it should help you reach a higher level!”
Gazing at the Soul Devouring Emperor, Su Yi presented him with a bottle of magical liquid.
The magical liquid was consumed rapidly, and the small pool in this space has now run dry.
It is crucial to find a method to acquire a substantial amount of energy and produce more magical liquid; otherwise, we will be unable to meet the demand.
Su Yi was not concerned at that moment. As long as the Soul Devouring Emperor wished to live, he would not act against his own interests, as the concept of the Demon Spirit Contract was already imprinted on his mind. Su Yi considered him one of his own and did not hold back in his dealings with his allies.
“Thank you, master!”
The Soul Devouring Emperor seized the jade bottle, filled with excitement.
With his level of cultivation, he could perceive the significant energy fluctuations within the jade bottle and immediately determine that it contained a remarkable treasure, seldom encountered in the world.
“Quickly cultivate, I’ll come back to find you in a few days!”
Su Yi spoke and then stopped bothering the Soul Devouring Emperor, leaving the mysterious space with a few others.
Following this opportunity, Su Yi was confident that by providing the Spiritual Essence to the Soul Devouring Emperor, he could achieve a breakthrough.
While he did not aspire to reach the levels of the Green Emperor or the Yin-yang Dark Emperor, Su Yi believed that entering the Demonic Emperor Realm Level Five should not be a significant challenge.
“It seems very lively around here recently!”
When Su Yi and the others returned to the mountains, they soon learned some news.
Recently, numerous formidable individuals have emerged in the mountains, including members of the Golden Sword Sect, Green Dark Sect, Seven Star Sword Sect, Liuhe Sect, Mysterious Sword Gate, and various wandering cultivators.
Some individuals, with keen, eagle-like gazes, navigated the area as if they were in pursuit of prey.
Su Yi knew that these individuals, with their enhanced senses, were probably looking for him because of the reward of two hundred thousand two-star Yuan Stones for the Seven Star Sword.
However, these people were bound to be disappointed because Su Yi had already changed his appearance, using a disguise technique, making himself look like a young man in his twenties.
In addition, the Green Emperor, Yin-yang Dark Emperor, and Huang Jian also changed their appearance at his request, which was completely different from before.
Few people have seen these three people. Even if they make a slight change, even those from the Golden Sword Sect would need to take a closer look to recognize them.
Su Xiaoshuai, on the other hand, was forcefully stuffed into a robe by Su Yi, which caused a wave of strong dissatisfaction. But after Su Yi rewarded him with a chestnut, Su Xiaoshuai immediately became obedient.
“With such a big commotion, I have to join in!”
After learning about the intentions of various factions and numerous independent cultivators, Su Yi coldly spoke up.
The Golden Sword Sect and the Seven Star Sword Sect are both searching for him, wanting to kill him as soon as possible. Su Yi will definitely not just sit and wait for death.
No matter what, he must give these people some trouble. He can’t allow them to live their lives too easily!
Walking in the mountains and forests with a few people, Su Yi felt that he now had a group of strong individuals by his side.
Besides his older brother Xi Wuqing, the Green Emperor, Yin-yang Dark Emperor, Huang Jian, and the Soul Devouring Emperor who was currently in seclusion, along with Su Xiaoshuai who had cultivation comparable to the Demonic Emperor Realm, which already made up five imperial level powerhouses!
With this kind of strength, as long as Su Yi is not surrounded by numerous powerful warriors, he believes he can roam freely in this forest.
Even if he encounters people from those powerful forces, it would still be easy for him to escape, even if he doesn’t defeat them.
However, Su Yi remains modest and doesn’t show off.
There is still over a month until the Chaos Realm Alliance Conference, so in a few more days, it will be time to set off.
But before that, Su Yi plans to do something.
What concerns him the most is definitely the reward of 200,000 two-star Yuan Stones from the Seven Star Sword Sect. He must find a way to obtain these Yuan Stones and compensate for the mental losses the Seven Star Sword Sect incurred by chasing him.
As Su Yi walks through the woods, he thinks but hasn’t come up with a good strategy yet.
Furthermore, he doesn’t need to rush in the next one or two days. It would be best to wait until the Soul Devouring Emperor finishes his seclusion.
During this time, it would be good to gather more information.
“It seems like the Seven Star Sword Sect and Golden Sword Sect are going to join forces. This could be a bit troublesome!”
On the following day, Su Yi received this kind of news, which made him feel uneasy.
Both factions are very powerful. If faced individually, Su Yi could handle it, but if numerous Yuan Emperor Realm joined forces, even he would find it quite difficult.
Su Yi and a few others walked down a mountain range. But just as they reached the foot of the mountain, suddenly a figure flashed by, whooshed right in front of him in an instant.
“Who’s there!”
The Green Emperor, Yin-yang Dark Emperor, and Huang Jian also reacted immediately, loudly shouting.
However, seeing that the person approaching didn’t make any further provocative moves or show any energy fluctuations, they didn’t immediately attack.
“Young man, from the moment I first saw you, I knew you had extraordinary talent! I have met countless people, but none quite like you!”
The person appearing before them was an elderly man around fifty years old, looking at Su Yi with an approving expression.
The old man was thin, with small eyes shining brightly. He approached Su Yi and said, “I won’t hide it from you. By chance, I came across a very powerful way of doing it, which is very rare in the world. It’s a perfect fit for you. I guarantee that if you practice it, you will reach the Yuan Emperor’s Realm within thirty years, and the Yuan True Realm within ten years! Since we have met, it can be considered destiny. Why not take advantage of it…”
Upon seeing Su Yi, the old man excitedly kept talking, but Su Yi interrupted him and said, “You old swindler again!”
He snapped back to reality, looking at the old man with a gloomy expression.
When he first entered Sword Star City, he also encountered this old man on the street. He was trying to sell him a set of cultivation methods at a lower price.
With Su Yi’s wit, how could he fall for such a trick?
“Master, he…”
The Green Emperor interjected, wanting to say something.
“Don’t mind him, let’s go!”
Su Yi walked away with a stern face, without even looking back. He didn’t want to waste his breath on this old swindler.
This is already the second time he has encountered the old man. Does he look so easily deceived because of his appearance?
“Hey, young man, wait a moment, I haven’t mentioned the price yet. We can negotiate it properly!”
Watching Su Yi and the others leave, the old man ran after them shouting loudly.
When their figures disappeared among the trees, unable to be seen anymore, a look of regret appeared on the old man’s face.
“Wow, are we going to have grilled meat?”
Shortly after getting rid of the old man, Su Yi and the others suddenly encountered an attack from a demonic true realm demon beast, but unsurprisingly, the Green Emperor directly pressed it to death with a finger!
Su Xiaoshuai emerged from Su Yi’s embrace, his eyes shining with excitement.
“Let’s go, let’s find a place to grill meat!”
Su Yi became happy too, finding a secluded valley, setting up a bonfire, and starting to grill meat and stew soup.
The sky gradually grew darker, and the firelight illuminated Su Yi’s face.
With his experience of barbecuing and many additional ingredients, he blended himself. The grilled meat and meat soup quickly emitted a rich aroma, making people’s mouths water.
Su Xiaoshuai ate with oil dripping from his mouth, holding a skewer of grilled meat in his left hand and a bowl of meat soup in his right hand. He took a bite with his left, and a sip with his right, feeling extremely happy.
The Green Emperor, Yin-yang Dark Emperor, and Huang Jian were also enjoying themselves, indulging in the feast.
Su Yi felt that he should study more and upgrade his equipment, as well as explore more ways of cooking.
Just as Su Yi and the others were happily eating, a sudden voice echoed in their ears.
“Young man, your talent is exceptional. I encountered a cultivation method that is unmatched and highly effective. It will undoubtedly enable you to attain the Yuan Emperor’s Realm within thirty years. ”
This voice was abrupt, but at the same time, strangely familiar.
Su Yi and the others stopped eating simultaneously and turned their heads to look beside them.
As anticipated, the slender elderly man in his fifties reappeared.
However, this time, his bright eyes did not regard Su Yi with admiration. Instead, they were intently focused on the grilled meat in Su Yi’s hand, unable to shift their gaze.
The old man swallowed hard and said firmly, “It’s fate that we met. How about exchanging your grilled meat for my cultivation method?”
After saying that, he took out a paperback book from his pocket and waved it in front of Su Yi, but his eyes never left the grilled meat.
“No exchange!”
Su Yi looked at the elderly man and promptly declined. He wasn’t foolish. With a single glance, he recognized that the paperback book was certainly not a cultivation method. He had no trust in him whatsoever.
How could there be such a good deal where a skewer of grilled meat could be exchanged for a set of cultivation methods?
“Goo!”
The old man wasn’t angry at all. He just swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and his nose kept twitching. He could smell the delicious meat and was obviously very hungry.
“Young man, you need to think carefully. There won’t be another shop like this once we leave this village! The cultivation method I have is rare in the world. It is definitely a great deal for you to exchange it for your roasted meat!” The old man said seriously.
“Are you following me, you old trickster? How come I keep running into you everywhere?” Su Yi frowned and gave the old man a disdainful look.
He felt helpless. It was the third time he had encountered this old trickster. Did Su Yi have a face that was easy to deceive?
“Young man, this is our first meeting. Why do you say I’m following you?” Suddenly, the old man was puzzled and asked in confusion.
This puzzled Su Yi, the Green Emperor, Yin-yang Dark Emperor, and Su Xiaoshuai for a moment.
They had only met in the afternoon, and only a few hours had passed. How could this old trickster not remember them?
“Could it be that he is not just an old trickster, but also a little confused in his mind?” Su Yi furrowed his brows, thinking about this possibility.
It seemed that the old man’s words didn’t sound fake. If that were really the case, it meant that this person might have some issues with his brain.
