My Cultivation Prowess Peaks after I Buried the Great Emperor's Corpse

136 I’ve Found for a Great Fortune for You!

“Big brother, who was that person just now? I see that you seem to be quite respectful to him.”

After Lin Wudao left, Li Qingcheng was silent for a while. Then, she looked at Li Heishui with a puzzled gaze.

Hearing this, Li Heishui smiled lightly.

A trace of respect appeared on his face.

“Qingcheng, that person just now was the heavens’ emissary in Jiuzhou. His name is Dongfang Bubai. As for his specific identity and background, I’m not sure either. Previously, when I was fishing for corpses in the Black River, a mysterious voice suddenly entered my mind. It said that as long as I use the corpses of powerhouses as sacrifices, I can invite Dongfang Bubai to work for me. I didn’t believe it at first. But later, with the intention of giving it a try, I offered the corpse of a Demigod and a shroud from the Heishui River. With that, I managed to invite Dongfang Bubai. What you are seeing now is what I hired him to do for me.”

Li Heishui pointed at Li Chenzhou on the ground.

A heavens’ emissary? Dongfang Bubai? Using the corpses of powerhouses as sacrifices?

Listening to Li Heishui’s narration, Li Qingcheng was greatly surprised. It was the first time she had heard of such a bizarre thing.

Then, her gaze also landed on Li Chenzhou, who was on the ground. When she saw that familiar face, she immediately revealed a shocked expression.

“Li Chenzhou? Big Brother, you invited Dongfang Bubai to suppress Li Chenzhou?”

“Yes.”

Li Heishui admitted without hesitation.

“Why do you want to suppress Li Chenzhou? He is the Eighth Young Master of the Li family. If he is discovered, the Li family will surely not let the matter go.”

Li Qingcheng looked worried.

In response, Li Heishui snorted coldly.

“Qingcheng, you don’t have to worry. The Li family doesn’t know about this at all. Moreover, the Li family can’t even protect themselves now. After tomorrow, God knows whether they can still exist in the Heishui Ancient City. Even if they know about Li Chenzhou’s existence, they won’t dare to do anything to us, because I have something on the Li family’s life and death.”

What? He had something on the Li family?

Hearing this, the shock in Li Qingcheng’s eyes intensified.

She had only left for half a year, but when she returned today, she felt that she could no longer see through this big brother of hers.

“Big brother, the evidence you mentioned, is it related to Li Chenzhou?”

“Yes.”

“What is it?”

“This… I can’t tell you for the time being. This is a grudge between me and the Li family. Don’t get involved. Just focus on cultivating.”

As he spoke, Li Heishui handed over the ten supreme-grade spiritual stones he had obtained previously to Li Qingcheng.

Supreme-grade spiritual stones?

Li Qingcheng’s eyes widened.

As a disciple of the True Dragon Academy, she was very knowledgeable and experienced. Even in the True Dragon Academy, there were no such things as supreme-grade spiritual stones.

Where did Li Heishui get them?

“I earned these supreme-grade spiritual stones from collecting corpses. Previously, I was lucky enough to find an Innate Sky realm corpse in the Heishui River. I sold it to a mysterious young master along with a shroud. The price was originally 100,000 high-grade spiritual stones, but the other party gave me 10 supreme-grade spiritual stones instead,” Li Heishui said with a faint smile.

Although 100,000 high-grade spiritual stones were equivalent to 10 supreme-grade spiritual stones, if used for cultivation, the effect of supreme-grade spiritual stones was much stronger.

“Big brother, you really hit the jackpot this time. Even the True Dragon Academy doesn’t have supreme-grade spiritual stones, yet the mysterious person who bought your corpses was able to use them for transactions. I’m afraid his identity and background are extraordinary. If we can befriend him, it will be beneficial to you…” Li Qingcheng pondered and said.

Hearing this, Li Heishui smiled faintly.

“That person is mysterious and unpredictable. If I can get a good corpse in the future, I can sell it to him again. Oh right, little sister, I’ve already obtained a great fortune for you. In a few days, your life and fate will be completely changed. At that time, you will certainly become a successive disciple of the True Dragon Academy. In fact, when the time is right, I’ll bring you to a Holy Land to cultivate. At that time, even the Holy Son of that Holy Land won’t be able to compare to you.”

Suddenly, Li Heishui seemed to have thought of something and said with a smile.

What? He got her a great fortune? A successive disciple of the True Dragon Academy?

Listening to Li Heishui’s words and looking at his incomparably serious expression, Li Qingcheng felt that it was quite absurd.

“Brother, don’t tell me you… Are you out of your mind? Why are you spouting nonsense? Right now, I’m only at perfection in the Grotto-Heaven realm. If I want to become a disciple of the True Dragon Academy, I need to be at least in the Heavenly Cycle realm. How can I yearn for such status and identity?”

Li Qingcheng shook her head. She didn’t believe this unrealistic idea.

Seeing this, Li Heishui only smiled mysteriously and did not explain much.

Now, the Path to Heaven had yet to open, and everything was still unknown. When Dongfang Bubai obtained the Sky-mending Divine Water, that would be the real great opportunity and fortune.

Before the matter was settled, Li Heishui did not elaborate.

“Qingcheng, you returned to the Heishui Ancient City this time for the Path to Heaven, right?”

“Yes. The Path to Heaven is an unprecedented event. It’s said that anyone who can knock open the Heavenly Gate will receive a great fortune bestowed by the heavens. Therefore, I came to broaden my horizons,” Li Qingcheng replied with a smile.

A hint of yearning appeared in her intelligent eyes.

She was extremely looking forward to this grand ceremony that happened once every thousand years.

“This time around, it will be extremely lively. Oh right, don’t tell anyone about the heavens’ emissary, Dongfang Bubai, and Li Chenzhou. Don’t invite unnecessary trouble, understand?”

“Don’t worry, big brother. I won’t say anything unnecessary.”

She nodded solemnly.

Be it Dongfang Bubai or Li Chenzhou, they could not let the outside world know.

Otherwise, it would most definitely lead to calamity.

She was naturally very clear about the stakes involved.

Li Heishui trusted Li Qingcheng.

Then, the two chatted for a while more before carrying Li Chenzhou’s body into the backyard.

…

...

At the same time, Lin Wudao returned to Myth Inn and summoned Yin Siming.

“City Lord, you were looking for me?”

Yin Siming bowed.

“Yes. From my observation, your lifespan seems to be severely lacking. I’m afraid you won’t be able to live for more than three months?”

What?

Yin Siming’s heart trembled when he heard this. A look of disbelief appeared in his eyes.

“City Lord, you… You know?”

“Naturally. I won’t ask about your past. As long as you do your best and serve me faithfully, I will solve all your troubles. With me around, no one can lay a hand on you.”

As he said this, Lin Wudao flipped his hand and handed a jade box to Yin Siming.

“A ten-thousand-year longevity spiritual medicine?” Yin Siming exclaimed.

“This is something I obtained by accident. After consuming it, it can increase your lifespan. Although it is not a rare divine item, it can make up for some of your lifespan. In the short term, your life will not be in danger. As for the future, there will naturally be something better than the ten-thousand-year longevity spiritual medicine. Moreover, once the Golden Pool of Fate is completed, with the help of Fate Energy, it can also improve your condition. It’s still the same sentence. As long as you follow me faithfully, you will naturally have a good future,” Lin Wudao said calmly.

...

Hearing this, Yin Siming’s eyes were filled with surprise and gratitude.

“Thank you, City Lord. I am willing to die for you!”

Thump!

He kneeled heavily on the ground.

“Alright. If there’s nothing else, you can leave.”

“Yes!”

Yin Siming bowed respectfully and left the room.

After he left, Lin Wudao immediately began to count his gains and make preparations for his next move.
