Chapter 110: Chapter 95 Attracting Attention

At nine in the morning.

Li Yi took a taxi and arrived once again at the Peace Finance Building.

With forty million in revenue, his wallet had bulged, his confidence had soared, and his spine had straightened. He was thinking that once he had handled this building, he would take the opportunity of the move to replace his parents’ medical pods.

He remembered the best medical pods on the market cost over ten million each, so for two, Li Yi would have to spend at least twenty-five million.

And if he subtracted the cost of getting the building ready... it seemed there wouldn’t be much money left.

These were just some basic expenses. If Li Yi were to buy a top-tier medical pod for himself, he reckoned that even fifty million wouldn’t be enough. Luckily, he had now learned the White Bone Temple Cultivation Skill, so he wouldn’t need a medical pod, which would save him a considerable amount of money.

However, there was a type of Cultivation Cabin that was suitable for Li Yi’s use.

That thing was equally absurdly expensive. A single unit could cost over a hundred million, so even though he was earning more after becoming a cultivator, his expenses had increased as well. If you wanted to progress, there was always a product on the market ready to precisely harvest your wallet and make you a wealthy poor person.

As soon as Li Yi got out of the taxi, he saw a person standing in the square below the Peace Finance Building.

It was a woman, about twenty-six or twenty-seven, with a head of sleek, black hair elegantly pinned up, revealing a face with light makeup that was stunningly gorgeous. Despite wearing just a plain professional suit, it did little to hide her mature and curvaceous figure.

"I am Li Yi, you must be Zheng Lan, Miss Zheng, whom I’ve been in contact with over the phone," he said, walking over and greeting her.

"Hello, Mr. Li, yes, I’m Zheng Lan. I didn’t expect Mr. Li to be so young and yet capable of taking over this building. Truly impressive for your age," said Zheng Lan with a laugh, her eyes narrowing slightly as she couldn’t help but size up Li Yi.

Tall, strong, but with a demeanor that was fierce yet tinged with a touch of otherworldliness, he left a deep impression, impossible to overlook.

That must have been the charm of a powerful cultivator. At first glance, they stood out, conspicuous and compelling.

Li Yi, however, got straight to the point, "Miss Zheng, you were introduced to me by my colleague Zheng Gong. Zheng Gong and I have been on missions together, and I trust him. So to cut a long story short, I want to move into this building as soon as possible. Do you have any good suggestions?"

"The Peace Finance Building has thirty floors in total. Apart from the requirement for living space, I’m not sure if Mr. Li has any other needs? For example, a soundproof Cultivation Room, a training field, a storage room... or a safe house," Zheng Lan said with a smile, "I’ve also done refurbishments for some cultivators’ buildings before. I have some experience in this area and believe I can meet all of Mr. Li’s requirements."

Li Yi was taken aback upon hearing this.

He really hadn’t thought that far ahead.

It turns out that cultivators could have so many supporting facilities—Cultivation Rooms, training fields... Poverty really did limit his imagination.

Although Li Yi had never used these things before, if he were to pursue cultivation, it seemed all of them would be useful. They were practical additions.

Zheng Lan continued, "Before Mr. Li arrived, I had already looked into this building’s basic details and made a preliminary plan for the facilities on each floor. Mr. Li, please take a look."

As she spoke, she took out a tablet computer and came over. After a few taps, a three-dimensional blueprint appeared before them.

"For instance, the top floor, the thirtieth, could serve as Mr. Li’s Cultivation area. Therefore, the decoration here mainly uses soundproof and heat-insulating materials to ensure the room’s quietness and temperature. The twenty-ninth floor could be Mr. Li’s personal rest area..."

But before she could finish, Li Yi interrupted her, "There’s no need for all that trouble. Just leave the other floors vacant; I won’t need them for the time being. If I need them later, I’ll contact you. You just need to make sure the basic living requirements are met."

"If Mr. Li says so, then I understand. I’ll remove the plans for the other floors and just keep the most basic life support. But I assume Mr. Li would want to keep the top floor as a Cultivation area?" Zheng Lan’s eyes flickered, revealing a hint of surprise.

"Keep the Cultivation area," Li Yi nodded, "But with that in mind, Miss Zheng, how soon can you get it done?"

Zheng Lan immediately began calculating, and while doing so, she said, "Even if most of the floors are unused, we still need the most basic equipment. The building’s elevators need replacing, the flooring requires basic solidification, some windows and glass need to be inspected and replaced, along with some other things..."

After calculating for a while, Zheng Lan looked up and smiled, "If Mr. Li wants to move in within three months, it will cost at least five million."

Li Yi frowned, "Three months is too slow. I don’t want to wait that long."

"If Mr. Li is willing to increase the budget, I can shorten the construction period," suggested Zheng Lan after thinking for a moment.

"I’ll give you ten million, try to get it done within a month—can you do it?" Li Yi did not hesitate but simply extended a finger.

Zheng Lan smiled and shook her head, "We don’t need that much. Labor is very cheap now. If Mr. Li wants it done within a month, just adding one million to the budget will suffice."

"Use the rest of the money to take care of other areas for me," Li Yi said.

"Since Mr. Li has said so, I understand. Rest assured, I will give Mr. Li a satisfying result within a month and will not disappoint," Zheng Lan smiled. In reality, she hadn’t planned to make a profit from this deal and had even considered subsidizing it with her own money.

Compared to a single transaction, it was more important that Zheng Gong could gain a foothold in the Investigative Bureau and possibly have the chance to cultivate with the aid of a Mysterious Object.

If you want to grow your business, having the protection of a cultivator is essential.

However, while Li Yi was busy figuring out how to move to a new home, the result of his cultivation value test from yesterday inadvertently spread throughout the cultivation circle of Tianchang City.

A cultivation value of 420 percent had sparked quite a bit of discussion.

Most people had no direct ties to Li Yi, so they were just joining in on the buzz, but when the news of the cultivation value reached the ears of Yang Yilong in the AnDing District, some people became restless.

"Yang Yilong, are you still in the mood for practicing boxing? Did you hear about the news from yesterday? That Li Yi, yes, the one who taught you boxing, he had his cultivation value tested at the training base of the Bureau of Investigation. Guess what the result was?"

"Four hundred and twenty percent, higher than your cultivation value."

"This kid is a genius."

At this moment, a middle-aged man named Yang Ye, with an anxious expression, rushed towards the underground training area without any regard for Yang Yilong who was practicing boxing.

Yang Yilong was holding a boxing stance, motionless, with his eyes closed in contemplation.

Even though he had mastered Fist Power, as he delved deeper into his boxing practice, he began to notice something amiss—various parts of his body were showing signs of injury.

Was there a problem with his boxing stance, a failure to grasp its essence?

Or could it be that Li Yi hadn’t learned everything when he was taught, leading to deficiencies in the boxing technique?

However, with the arrival of Yang Ye, Yang Yilong emerged from his thoughts. He opened his eyes and dropped his boxing stance.

"A cultivation value of 420 percent?" His brow furrowed slightly: "But what of it? What does that have to do with me?"

Extremely anxious, Yang Ye said: "How can it not be related? We forcefully learned a set of boxing techniques from him and even hurt Lin Yue who was standing up for him. We’ve thoroughly offended Li Yi. Before, he was just a minor figure and we didn’t have to care, but now things are different."

"Li Yi joined the Bureau of Investigation; he helped Squad Leader Zhang Lei successfully recover an incomplete Mysterious Object. As far as I know, the Bureau plans to use that Mysterious Object to build twenty Cultivation Rooms, and Li Yi will have two permanent slots. Think about it: a cultivation value of 420 percent plus the energy field of an incomplete Mysterious Object. You know what this implies, don’t you?"

"While Li Yi is currently only at the Spirit Medium Realm, it won’t take long for him to catch up and become a Spiritual Practitioner like you. Given that kid’s nature, he’s most likely going to seek revenge. Yang Yilong, this is a massive potential threat; it cannot go unnoticed."

Yang Ye had a vague feeling that Li Yi would become a significant problem in the future and couldn’t be treated as a minor figure anymore.

Turning around, Yang Yilong said calmly, "A cultivation value of 420 percent doesn’t even meet the special recruitment standards of the Golden Academy. With the support of a Cultivation Cabin, my cultivation value can also reach 350 percent; and that Li Shaqing’s is even higher, able to exceed 380 percent... But you must understand that once cultivation reaches the realm of Spiritual Sense, progress involves the mysteries of the soul. No matter how high one’s cultivation value is, one can get stuck at this stage."

"Li Yi has just opened the Spirit Medium Realm. He still has a long way to go; you are making too much of this."

"We still have to guard against it," Yang Ye insisted. "If we hadn’t offended Li Yi, none of this would matter. But so happens that we’ve truly angered him, and you don’t want our Yang Family to have such a dangerous enemy."

Yang Yilong’s demeanor shifted as he asked, "What do you plan to do?"

Yang Ye seemed to have a plan already. Clenching his teeth, he said: "All or nothing. Let’s extinguish this potential enemy in the bud. I’ve looked into Li Yi; during his last mission, he also made an enemy of Wei Bin, a wanderer from the Ruined District. We could pay him to take action."

"Wei Bin won’t kill Li Yi, not unless he wants to be wanted by the Bureau of Investigation for life," Yang Yilong stated. "Yang Ye, don’t do anything foolish. Hiring a hitman, if uncovered, would be the end of the Yang Family. The current Li Yi is under the Bureau’s aegis; If he were to die mysteriously, Zhang Lei wouldn’t let it go easily."

"I won’t meddle with Li Yi. I will find an opportunity to speak with Lin Yue and have her lead the way in making amends with Li Yi. If worse comes to worst, we can give up the Guiding Skill."

"That’s the end of it. Now, go. Stop interrupting my boxing practice."

Yang Yilong waved his hand, signaling Yang Ye to leave.

Seeing this, Yang Ye had no choice but to leave without a word.

Without Yang Yilong’s involvement, Wei Bin would not cooperate with him.

After all, Yang Yilong was the recognized spokesperson for the Yang Family, and Yang Ye held no sway over those high-level Spiritual Practitioners.

But then...

An alternative idea suddenly struck Yang Ye.

If he couldn’t find a high-level Spiritual Practitioner to cooperate with, perhaps a cultivator who had opened the Realm of inspiration might be willing to take the job.

There were quite a few cultivators at the inspiration realm among the wanderers, and their abilities were not weak. Handling Li Yi, who was only at the Spirit Medium level, would be easy for them.
