He didnât believe a single word about the Golden Core Ascension Realm expertâs cave that Lin Kai mentioned!
Isnât this just playing tricks on naive fools?
"Heh! I know that Daoist Li doesnât believe me! Wait until our transaction is over, and Iâll show you something. Then youâll understand whether what I said is true or false!"
Lin Kai was also a cunning person and quickly realized that Li Yunjing was not easily fooled.
However, he was confident he could persuade Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi.
This cave was not fake; however, getting inside it was another story.
Even if they ultimately entered it, who would the treasures belong to?
That was even more uncertain!
If nine out of ten sentences were true and only one was false, it would be easier to deceive people. As a deceitful manipulator, Lin Kai had the confidence to toy with Li Yunjing!
But Li Yunjing didnât respond; he didnât believe a single word of Lin Kaiâs nonsense!
Shortly after their secret conversation ended, a series of footsteps sounded outside the courtyard gate.
"Su Guo, invite the four shopkeepersâ people in!"
With a sweep of his Divine Sense, Li Yunjing knew who had arrived and gave the instruction.
"Yes, senior brother!"
Su Guo responded and soon brought the four people in.
With the negotiations over, the four shopkeepers gave their orders, and the newcomers from the four major shops began trading with Su Guo and Jin Shouyun.
Su Guo and Jin Shouyun didnât trust these merchants much, carefully inspecting any material.
By dusk, after confirming everything was in order, the transaction was complete.
After Li Yunjing paid the Spirit Stones, the four shopkeepers and Lin Kai said their goodbyes and left, and Li Yunjing then stored the materials in his âStorage Ringâ.
"Alright! For safetyâs sake, weâll leave in a while! Weâll teleport directly to âTingtau Marketâ and then leave with the âCyan Cloud Shipâ once weâre there!"
Without any outsiders around, Li Yunjing gave the command and prepared for departure.
Soon, the four of them checked out of their rooms from âYunlai Innâ and arrived at the cityâs Teleportation Array.
Under normal circumstances, teleportation was not allowed at night.
However, they had Yu Yunyi, a True Disciple, who naturally had special privileges to use the Teleportation Array at that time.
That was part of Li Yunjingâs plan.
They could leave via the Teleportation Array, while others, unable to use it, couldnât follow them.
A two-thousand-mile distance was enough to ensure a substantial lead, making it impossible for anyone from âWanghai Cityâ to catch up with them.
After the Teleportation Arrayâs light flashed, a Communication Talisman in one of the cityâs residences flashed, and Lin Kai received the message about their departure.
"Damn it! So cautious! How are the young members of the Shenxiao Dao Sect so cunning now?"
Lin Kai was furious, smashing a cup in anger.
"Hehehe..."
Inside the room, a woman laughed flirtatiously. After a long while, she lifted her head and chuckled, "Youâre a big figure. How did you get played by a few kids?"
"Hmph! What cultivation do I have now? Itâs already hard enough for me to walk this far after body-snatching! Lin Kaiâs aptitude is too poor!"
Lin Kai gave the woman a cold glare, immediately silencing her.
"What do we do now? Having crossed the sea, weâve encountered trouble. Now thereâs only big brother, you, and me left. Our people are either dead or injured, and you barely survived through body-snatching."
The woman sighed, running a hand through her hair, stretching her body, revealing her tempting curves.
"Sigh! For a possibly non-existent treasure, we seven brothers crossed hundreds of thousands of miles, paying too high a price to get here to Southern Heaven!"
Lin Kai sighed and, after pondering for a moment, said, "Your and big brotherâs cultivation hasnât returned to the Golden Core Realm, and Iâm even further behind! We need more resources to restore our cultivation."
Lin Kaiâs gaze remained clear, without any thoughts for the alluring woman before him.
"But merely selling information and robbing people, when will we have enough resources to restore our cultivation?"
The womanâs beautiful eyes dimmed.
"Heh! Iâm sure Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi are here to train in the Sea Region! They bought quite a few sea charts! I took notice long ago."
Lin Kaiâs eyes flashed coldly as he spoke slowly.
"But how much can these two have? Qi Cultivation Realm cultivators are too meager! Only by ambushing a few Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators from the Shenxiao Dao Sect could we quickly restore our cultivation!"
Upon hearing Lin Kaiâs words, the woman showed a hint of disappointment.
"Step by step! Getting one to two million Low Grade Spirit Stones is still good! Itâs enough to buy some top-tier Tier Two Healing Pills!"
Lin Kaiâs expression remained calm, appearing not to be in a hurry to restore his cultivation.
"But itâs hard to deceive members of the Shenxiao Dao Sect, isnât it?"
The womanâs gaze flickered as she brought up the challenge.
"Heh! The Seven Demons of the North Sea are best at manipulating people! Handling two little folks is no big deal. At worst, weâll just put in more effort to set a trap for Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi when they return! Once they enter the Sea Region, they wonât be able to escape!"
Lin Kai chuckled.
Yu Yunyi had the âCyan Cloud Ship,â an extremely valuable treasure. Coupled with the wealth of a True Disciple and an Inner Sect Disciple, it was enough to make up two million Spirit Stones!
So many Spirit Stones could even be exchanged for twenty thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones!
