Chapter 1003: You Have a Lot of Bad Water in Your Stomach!
From the way this old man was behaving, Su Yi couldn’t help but suspect that despite having seen each other in the afternoon, just two hours later, the old trickster claimed not to know him.
"Master, this old fellow is rather extraordinary!"
The Green Emperor approached Su Yi and whispered in a low voice.
While speaking, he stared closely at the old man, his aura ready to burst, as if facing some danger, extremely cautious!
"Indeed, he is extraordinary!"
Su Yi nodded gently, agreeing with the Green Emperor’s words.
This old man suddenly appeared in front of them without Su Yi and the others being aware of any movement beforehand.
You see, among them were three imperial-level powerhouses, plus Su Xiaoshuai, who was almost at the imperial level, and Su Yi, who had the lowest cultivation, was also at the Yuan Void Realm!
So many strong people couldn’t notice this old trickster approaching, which means he must be very clever!
Either the old man is very good at hiding his power, or his skills are far beyond those present!
Both possibilities show that this person is exceptional.
"Boss, maybe we should be more careful."
Yin-yang Dark Emperor also came to Su Yi’s side and whispered to him.
The old man may not pose a big threat to Su Yi and the others now, as he seems a bit confused, but he could potentially expose their tracks.
If that happens, it would be a bit too much to lose.
"Old man, you can have this grilled meat, we’re leaving!"
Su Yi didn’t want to get entangled with him, so he handed some grilled meat to the old man, and even left half a pot of meat soup.
Afterwards, he left directly with the Green Emperor, Yin-yang Dark Emperor, Huang Jian, and Su Xiaoshuai.
"We agreed to trade the cultivation method for barbecued meat, here you go!"
Before Su Yi left, the old man stuffed a book of threads into his hands and then didn’t pay attention to Su Yi and directly ate meat and drank soup, occasionally giving praises.
"What cultivation method? It’s just a crappy book, too rough even for wiping butts!"
After walking far away, Su Yi looked at the book in his hands and smiled bitterly.
As he had observed before, it was just an ordinary paper book that only contained a mundane history, there was no cultivation method at all.
Such an old swindler, no one knows where he came from, making people feel very mysterious.
But now that he had gotten rid of it, hopefully he wouldn’t encounter it again in the future!
At night, Su Yi and his companions found a cave and stayed there for the night.
Su Yi entered a mysterious space to check on the Soul Devouring Emperor. He saw that the emperor was indeed in the process of a breakthrough and it would take a few days to finish.
"You all stay inside the space for now, I’ll go for a walk outside. After the Soul Devouring Emperor breaks through, we’ll do something big together!"
When the sun came up, Su Yi placed the Green Emperor, Yin-yang Dark Emperor, and Huang Jian inside the mysterious space.
Su Xiaoshuai was causing a commotion, but Su Yi managed to keep him inside.
If he was alone outside, he could use the disguise technique to prevent others from recognizing him. But with Su Xiaoshuai by his side, it was uncertain.
"Have you heard? There’s a new Yuan Stone mine nearby!"
While walking in the woods, Su Yi overheard some wandering cultivators discussing something.
"I’ve heard too. It’s said to be on the land belonging to the Seven Star Sword Sect, southwest of Sword Star City. This mine was not recently discovered, but the Seven Star Sword Sect has known about it and was planning to mine it. They’ve kept this information tightly guarded until recently."
Someone added from the side.
Not far away, Su Yi perked up his ears and listened carefully to everything.
With his current strength, he could look down on most cultivators, as long as he didn’t encounter those old-generation beings, Su Yi was basically fearless.
In addition, his method of suppressing his aura was extremely clever, so even though they were not far apart, the few casual cultivators discussing things didn’t realize that their words were already being heard by someone.
"So that’s how it is! It’s normal for a Yuan Stone deposit to be hidden tightly, but I didn’t expect it to eventually be discovered by someone!"
The casual cultivator spoke again.
"Knowing doesn’t make a difference. Among the five strongest powers in this area, the Seven Star Sword Sect is one of them. Since they have already taken control of the Yuan Stone deposit, it’s almost impossible for anyone else to get involved!"
Beside him, another casual cultivator took over the conversation and spoke up.
The five strongest sects in this area are: Mysterious Sword Gate, Green Dark Sect, Liuhe Sect, Seven Star Sword Sect, and Golden Sword Sect. If others want to compete for the Yuan Stone deposit, they would need to join forces with another power to gain an advantage.
But even if they successfully take control of the deposit in the end, they will definitely suffer losses and end up benefiting someone else.
"I wonder if that mine is big or not. If there is a lot of it, then the Seven Star Sword Sect could make a lot of money!"
Someone sighed with extreme envy.
"Go southwest towards Sword Star City!"
Su Yi listened to these words and started thinking about something in his mind.
It turned out that the Seven Star Sword Sect had discovered another Yuan Stone mine. Their luck was truly excellent.
Before this, he thought that a third-rate power like the Seven Star Sword Sect had shed a lot of blood by giving out 200,000 two-star Yuan Stones as a reward for finding him.
But now, it seemed that with this Yuan Stone mine, the 200,000 two-star Yuan Stones might not be such a colossal number for them.
"Oh, Yuan Stone, here comes Grandpa Su!"
Suddenly, a bright gleam appeared in Su Yi’s eyes, and he greedily licked his lips.
He stopped eavesdropping on the conversation of a few wandering cultivators and turned around to head towards Sword Star City.
Upon hearing that he was being rewarded by the Seven Star Sword Sect, Su Yi started thinking about how to get his hands on the two hundred thousand two-star Yuan Stone. However, after much thought, he still couldn’t come up with a good plan.
After all, it was the Seven Star Sword Sect. There were many powerful individuals among them, and once they discovered his identity, it would be a dead end for him.
But now things were different. A Yuan Stone deposit appeared, giving him hope.
The harvested Yuan Stones had to be kept in a space bag. It wouldn’t be easy for Su Yi to deceive others and take their Yuan Stones, but the Yuan Stones in the mine that hadn’t been harvested yet were something even the members of the Seven Star Sword Sect couldn’t take away!
"I’m going to get rich!"
Suddenly, Su Yi felt inexplicably excited and eagerly headed towards the direction mentioned by those wandering cultivators.
The relationship between him and the Seven Star Sword Sect was already irreconcilable. They would never let him go. Therefore, Su Yi thought that if he could trick the Seven Star Sword Sect, it would definitely be a satisfying victory.
Su Yi was already familiar with the direction of Sword Star City. It shouldn’t be too difficult to find the Yuan Stone deposit. There must be some clues along the way for him to find.
"It’s best to find a way to sneak in, grab what we can, because we still have to survive!"
Su Yi had some ideas in mind, but he really wanted to get his hands on the Yuan Stone to repay Lingbao Pavilion’s enormous debt.
The potential deposit that Nangong Ningyue mentioned is still unknown, so Su Yi is still in desperate need of money!
As he walked along, Su Yi didn’t go very fast. It took him a day and more to finally reach a location in the mountains.
And it was right here that he noticed some people patrolling nearby.
Judging from their attire, they were disciples of the Seven Star Sword Sect.
"I’m guessing this is the place!"
Watching these people, Su Yi speculated that the Yuan Stone deposit was probably deep within the mountains.
The disciples patrolling the outskirts were not very strong, and many of them were only at the Yuan Spirit Realm.
These people can’t threaten Su Yi, but the further in he goes, the stronger the people he will encounter will be.
"I wonder how many real strong people are here!"
Su Yi frowned and started to calculate in his mind.
The Seven Star Sword Sect definitely values the Yuan Stone mine, so there must be quite a few imperial-level powerhouses.
It won’t be easy to sneak in unnoticed. If he starts a fight, it will bring about huge troubles later on.
"What should I do?"
Su Yi hid in a concealed treetop, scratching his chin and constantly pondering.
He remembered being captured by the Black Fiend School in the Forest of Demons and forced to mine Yuan Stone as a slave.
He didn’t know if the Seven Star Sword Sect also had a habit of capturing slaves. If they did, Su Yi believed he could sell himself as a slave as long as he could enter the mine.
"No, no, if we make such a fuss, the mined Yuan Stone will definitely be put into a space bag, and that would be a huge loss!"
Su Yi immediately rejected this idea and suddenly felt a deep sense of sorrow.
He didn’t want to waste too much time retrieving Yuan Stone from the mine. It would be much easier than trying to steal from an imperial-level strongman’s space bag.
Every piece of Yuan Stone that goes into the space bag would be a loss for Su Yi, and it would be painful!
Su Yi scratched his head and suddenly his eyes lit up. He slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "I got it!"
Immediately, he floated down from the treetop and surveyed the area nearby. He found a secluded spot and called out Su Xiaoshuai, the Green Emperor, Yin-yang Dark Emperor, and Huang Jian from the mysterious space.
Then, Su Yi’s face changed as he removed his disguise and restored his original appearance.
"Boss, what are you up to?" Su Xiaoshuai got excited as soon as he was released.
Just by seeing Su Yi’s smirk, Su Xiaoshuai knew that he must be thinking of some mischief.
"Hehe!"
Su Yi mysteriously smiled and began whispering with a few people.
Shortly after, the eyes of several high-level experts began to shine, and they all let out a sly smile, filled with cunning.
"Boss, you have a lot of bad intentions!"
