Chapter 1003: You Have a Lot of Bad Water in Your Stomach!
Su Yi regarded the elderly man and promptly declined the offer.
He was not naive; a single glance revealed that the paperback book was certainly not a cultivation method, and he held no trust towards the old man.
Given the old man’s behavior, Su Yi couldn’t help but suspect that despite their earlier meeting that afternoon, he feigned ignorance merely two hours later.
“Master, this old man is quite remarkable! ” the Green Emperor remarked discreetly as he approached Su Yi.
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.
The old man suddenly appeared in front of them without Su Yi and the others being aware of any prior movement.
Notably, among them were three imperial-level powerhouses, along with Su Xiaoshuai, who was nearly at the imperial level, and Su Yi, who, despite having 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.”
The Yin-yang Dark Emperor approached Su Yi and murmured to him.
Currently, the old man may not represent a significant threat to Su Yi and the others, as he appears somewhat disoriented; however, he could potentially reveal their location.
If that were to occur, it would be a substantial loss.
“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.
Afterward, 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 thread 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 a considerable distance, Su Yi glanced at the book in his hands and smiled wryly.
As he had noted previously, it was merely an ordinary paper book that contained only a basic history, with no cultivation methods whatsoever.
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 it 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 had known about it and was planning to mine it. They 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 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!
While walking at a leisurely pace, Su Yi took over a day to arrive at a specific location in the mountains.
It was here that he observed some individuals patrolling the area.
Judging from their attire, they were disciples of the Seven Star Sword Sect.
“I’m guessing this is the place!”
Observing these individuals, Su Yi speculated that the Yuan Stone deposit was likely situated deep within the mountains.
The disciples stationed on the outskirts were relatively weak, with many of them possessing only Yuan Spirit Realm abilities.
These people can’t threaten Su Yi, but the further on he goes, the stronger the people he will encounter will be.
“I wonder how many there are really strong people!”
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 problems later on.
“What should I do?”
Su Yi hid in a concealed treetop, scratching his chin and constantly pondering.
He recalled being taken captive by the Black Fiend School in the Forest of Demons and compelled to mine Yuan Stone as a slave.
He was uncertain whether the Seven Star Sword Sect also engaged in the practice of capturing slaves. If they did, Su Yi believed that he could offer himself as a slave provided he gained entry to 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 preferred not to spend excessive time extracting Yuan Stone from the mine, as it would be far simpler than attempting to steal from the space bag of an imperial-level strongman.
Each piece of Yuan Stone placed into the space bag would result in a loss for Su Yi, causing him considerable distress.
Su Yi scratched his head and suddenly his eyes lit up. He slapped his forehead and exclaimed, “I got it!”
He descended from the treetop and surveyed the surrounding area. He discovered a secluded spot and summoned 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 smiled mysteriously and began to whisper with a select group of individuals.
Soon after, the expressions of several high-ranking experts brightened, revealing sly smiles filled with cunning.
“Boss, you have a lot of bad intentions!”
