Chapter 8, unexpectedly chased all the way here
Li He was taken aback; a third-tier martial artist. If discovered, it would undoubtedly mean certain death. He could see the other party approaching. Cold sweat streamed down his brow. With less than ten meters between them, he felt a deep sense of fear and unease.
In the end, Li He decided to settle in Youranju, which was precisely the place he had originally agreed upon with Wu Ze. He had thought that Wu Ze would come after a few days, and he would just happen to be looking for members of the Eagle Group in Liucheng. To his surprise, Wu Ze arrived the very next morning.
Every day, he watched carefully, and finally saw Wu Yun break through the barrier and emerge. Li He hurriedly entered through the main gate, and did not encounter any obstruction from the guards at the entrance, as they all knew that Li He was a friend of their young master
The fourth-grade elixir, Yangyuan Dan! The White Jade Dragon Turtle said that it can help me regain some strength. As for restoring to the realm of Martial Sovereign, it can only be achieved with the essence of Snow Spirit.
"Yes, the essence of the snow spirit!" the white jade dragon turtle said leisurely, before burying its head back into the soup.
Alright, you carry on with your business. I must take my leave, as I still have to inform other cities.
Hmph, isn't it just a first-level martial artist? They only just broke through by using a Transformation Pill!" Wu Yun and Li He were silently staring at each other when suddenly a voice floated over, filled with disdain
"Young man, we are in some trouble. This fellow has become a first-tier martial artist!" Bai Yulonggui communicated.
"From now on, we shall be brothers. Come, let us go find those rascals to drink and feast together," Wu Ze said with a hearty laugh. Li He naturally would not refuse, and together they caused a ruckus throughout the night. In the end, Li He returned to Youran Residence, but he no longer had time to search for the Eagle Group; the matter of finding the members of the Eagle Group would have to wait.
I hope you can still regard me as the third young master!" Li He said in a deep voice
Damn it, they actually chased me all the way here. I have clearly fallen into a perilous zone with no way out, yet they still don't feel at ease?" Li He cursed. Taking this opportunity to contemplate a strategy, he wondered how Wu Yun would choose at this moment. Should he escape or not? If he fled, Wu Lang would already know. Then the news of his survival would inevitably leak out, which would certainly provoke a frenzied pursuit from his second brother
The White Jade Dragon Turtle, having eaten and drunk its fill, flew back to the top of Li He's head. With its four legs in the air, it lazily said: "If you can provide me with 10,000 Nourishing Yuan Pills, I can help restore my strength to that of a Ninth Rank Martial Master"
"Let's go, that group of rascals has also arrived." Just as Wu Lang began to speak, he suddenly saw his father and a mysterious figure in a black robe approaching from a corner.
Li He twitched the corner of his mouth, clearly recognizing the voice of the White Jade Dragon Turtle. He understood slightly what the White Jade Dragon Turtle intended. With a slight turn of his eyes, he spoke, "No need to look anymore, he is my master"
"It is best to be cautious in everything; we just need to carry out what the Second Young Master has instructed." The mysterious figure in the black robe said coldly
Wu Yun is also an understanding person, clearly aware of Li He's intentions. He chuckled and said no more.
Upon exiting the restroom, I saw Wu Ze engaged in conversation with a household servant. Upon seeing Li He, Wu Ze sighed and said, "Alas, my father has unexpectedly entered seclusion. I had originally intended to introduce you to my father."
Uh. Wu Zelong was taken aback for a moment, but he still nodded and took Li He to the restroom
Yangyuan Dan?" Li He frowned; this item is indeed common, but it is difficult to obtain. The elixirs of the Mo Region are monopolized by the Dan Sect, spanning several empires. The power of the Dan Sect is quite formidable, with disciples and followers even spread across other regions, where they have become alchemists. They excel in refining various elixirs, using them to cultivate their skills
"Sir, that is my son. I am not sure what the matter is! There is no need to pay him any mind," Wu Yun said with a beaming smile.
Puh! Li He spat out a mouthful of tea! Ten thousand pieces, heavens. That amounts to one million gold coins; his entire family's liquid assets do not even reach that amount. Perhaps selling the Wu family's real estate could work!
The current urgent task is to keep a close watch on Wu Yun, ensuring to appear before the other party becomes aware. Li He anticipated that Wu Ze would definitely inform Wu Yun about his matters, and Wu Yun would certainly make connections in that regard
What should I do? What should I do? Li He felt anxious in his heart
Li He smiled awkwardly and then said, "Are there no other methods?"
Wu Yun, frightened, hurriedly nodded
What? You are Li He? Wu Yun looked at Li He in shock, his gaze flickering, uncertain and changeable.
"Old Turtle, has that person left?" Li He asked in a low voice while hiding in the restroom
"Yes, indeed. The small one must comply. If we encounter Li He, we must detain him and inform the Second Young Master." Wu Yun whispered, "In fact, once we enter the desolate deep forest, there is no longer any reason for survival."
What do you want? I have important matters to attend to right now, so we can discuss anything later!" Wu Yun shouted at Wu Ze.
Li He nodded and strode in. With Wu Ze present, naturally no one obstructed him
At this moment, Li He was unaware. The guardian sent by the Wu family, Wu Yun, was also the father of Wu Ze. They were meeting in a secret chamber with a mysterious figure in a black robe, whispering to each other.
Wu Zegang was about to speak when Li He hurriedly interrupted him. In a low voice, he said, "First, take me to the restroom; my stomach is a bit uncomfortable." He suppressed his inner unease and tried his best to appear normal.
"Who is it?" Wu Yun was greatly astonished; he could not discern the source of this voice. "May I ask if you would come out to meet me?"
After inquiring with several people, I finally found Wu Yun's residence. Fortunately, Wu Ze was out today, leaving me enough time. I quietly approached the entrance of Wu Yun's home, and before I could touch the door, a stern shout came from inside the house
The mysterious figure in the black robe nodded slightly and withdrew his gaze. He spoke in a low voice: "If you handle the matters entrusted by the Second Young Master well, you will certainly not be treated unfairly. That transformation elixir was a gift from the Second Young Master! If you accomplish this task, there will be further rewards ahead"
Upon hearing this, Li He wisely chose to remain silent. What a joke, one million! Even if he sold himself, he wouldn't earn that much. Money is not so easily made; with one million, he could hire two or three ninth-tier martial masters as bodyguards!
The essence of Snow Spirit? ! '' Li He was astonished, his mouth agape. He naturally knew what the essence of Snow Spirit was; it was a heavenly treasure. It was something that could drive martial sovereigns to madness, and it was rumored that this item could increase the chances of a martial sovereign advancing to martial emperor.
What? Li He exclaimed in shock, his face filled with disbelief. He had always known that this Wu Yun should only be a ninth-tier warrior. How could he suddenly become a martial master? The difference between a martial master and a ninth-tier warrior is like heaven and earth, completely incomparable; it is a significant hurdle. A first-tier martial master can easily sweep away seven or eight ninth-tier warriors.
Hmph, you little brat. Don't even think about trying to scheme against me without bringing the essence of the Snow Spirit. " The White Jade Dragon Turtle said in a commanding tone, clearly having guessed what Li He was thinking.
"Retreat?" Li He raised his eyebrows and laughed, saying, "There will be plenty of opportunities in the future"
Looking at the mysterious figure in the black robe, Wu Yun let out a bitter smile. Then, somewhat excitedly, he took out a black box from his bosom
"Hua Shi Dan, haha." Looking at the black box, Wu Yun felt extremely pleased. Inside was the Hua Shi Dan, a type of elixir that almost never appears in the world. The regulation of elixirs is quite strict; without connections, it is difficult to obtain the desired elixirs even with money. Not to mention this particular elixir that can increase the probability of advancement, the Hua Shi Dan. As the name suggests, it is an elixir for breaking through the bottleneck of a warrior. It can elevate the probability of a warrior advancing to the martial master realm to 80%. Without the elixir, the probability is only 50%.
As they turned around, the gaze of the mysterious figure in the black robe was cast upon them
"Young man, find a way to hide. That man in the black robe is here to capture you, a third-tier martial artist, he truly thinks highly of you," Bai Yulonggui suddenly spoke. "I heard that the man in the black robe instructed that if he encounters you, he must detain you without fail"
I scoff, how dare you, you little brat, let me see you!
"Haha, how could that be? You are the Third Young Master!" Wu Yun laughed heartily, suppressing his own aura. However, Li He noticed that the elemental energy on the other party had not dissipated.
Li He turned his eyes and decided to escape. However, his face remained calm!
Brother Li, we have arrived said Wu Lang with a hearty laugh
Under the leadership of Wu Ze, they soon arrived at a grand courtyard. The Wu family crest stood prominently at the entrance hall, exuding power and authority
"Master?" Wu Yun furrowed his brow, filled with doubt. The information he had received indicated that Li He was a complete waste, utterly incapable of cultivation. Although he had heard from Wu Lang that Li He possessed the strength of a third-tier warrior, he found it difficult to believe since he had not witnessed it with his own eyes. Now, upon hearing Li He's words, his concerns deepened. How terrifying must be the person capable of enabling a waste without a primordial bone to cultivate? It was likely that even the Martial Emperor would find it challenging to achieve. Furthermore, he was well aware that Li He had fallen into the Silent Forest, which made him even more cautious and uneasy, leading to further speculation.

Additionally, he was naturally aware that Li He had fallen into the Silent Forest, which made him even more cautious and uneasy, leading to further speculation. "Who is your master?"
"Hehe, what’s the matter? Is Wu Yun not welcoming me?" Li He said with a smile. At the same time, he patted the golden little beast on his shoulder. The golden little beast opened its sleepy eyes, looking quite displeased. However, its gaze instantly locked onto Wu Yun upon seeing him.
Brother Li, let's go. Allow me to fulfill my host's duties. The others will join us later; today we shall not return until we are drunk! Come on, stop being so wishy-washy. Wu Ze grumbled, as he was the only one who had come here today. Li He thought for a moment and decided that it would be the same sooner or later, so he might as well go now.
Before long, the little golden creature fluttered unsteadily to Li He's shoulder. Seeing that the table was completely clean with nothing left, it secretly cursed. These two, though not very tall, could really eat a lot.
Day!'' Li He curses, the more anxious he becomes, the less he knows what to do. If he turns around and runs away now, that would definitely not work. He would surely be discovered by the other party, and how could he possibly escape from the hands of a third-tier martial artist
Who is it? Wu Yun's entire body was surging with primal energy, and a trace of terrifying aura swept out.
Father! Wu Ze shouted loudly upon seeing his father approaching. He felt a bit puzzled, wondering who that man in the black robe was, as he had never seen him before
"He has left." Bai Yulonggui sighed
Li He! The three sons of the Wu family! Li He pushed the door open and entered
The Yangyuan Dan is not expensive, approximately 100 gold coins per piece. It serves to nourish the essence and stabilize the foundation; when the vital energy within the body is in chaos, it can help to consolidate the foundation and cultivate the essence, Li He thought to himself
