Chapter 263: Chapter 186: The Squad

"Boom!"

A sound like thunder echoed within the Peace Finance Building, Fist Power exploded, and Li Yi’s Divine Power burst forth. With just a single punch, he already shattered the air, whipping up a torrent of Qi-Blood around him. Compared to before, Li Yi’s strength had become even more terrifying after advancing to the Blood Refining Realm.

Moreover, his endurance had grown stronger. As long as his Qi-Blood didn’t wane, Li Yi could throw punches continuously without stopping.

But the body of an Evolver brought with it a potent recovery ability. As long as he had enough Golden Nutrient Liquid, he could keep swinging those punches non-stop for three days and nights.

Li Yi performed a set of Combat Skills, then practiced Shaking Mountain Fist and Heart-pushing Palm once again. Afterward, he gained a whole new understanding of his own power.

Now he could take on a Spiritual Perception Master head-on in battle. Even when facing a top-tier Spiritual Perception Master like Yang Yilong, he felt he had a fighting chance. However, in a life-or-death fight, Li Yi knew he would still be no match for Yang Yilong. Once that guy’s Guiding Skill condensed that invisible treasure sword, Li Yi would be dealt a destructive blow.

Only by completing Blood Refining and Spleen Opening, accumulating Fist Gang, and mastering Guiding Skills would he be able to surpass him.

"Now is not the time to rush. I’ll keep nourishing my Qi-Blood for another ten days or half a month, then I can try to break through to Refining Points," Li Yi said, his gaze flickering as he reined in his punches and stood upright.

His body was continuously creating new blood, replacing the old, while at the same time strengthening his Qi-Blood. The speed of this accumulation was much faster than that of the Martial Artists from the Four Seas and Eight Continents; what would take them years, or even a decade to cultivate—peak Qi-Blood strength bolstered by precious treasures just before breaking through to Refining Points—Li Yi didn’t need.

The physique of an Evolver was just too superior, their recovery ability too strong, and similarly, the speed of accumulating Qi-Blood far exceeded that of ordinary Martial Artists. A journey that would nearly take others ten years could be completed by Li Yi in just half a month.

Of course, there was a price to pay.

Subsequently, Li Yi grabbed the Golden Nutrient Liquid beside him and began gulping it down.

The price was that he got hungry too easily.

Even without doing anything, Li Yi had to consume five bottles of nutrient liquid per day, which meant eating away five hundred thousand yuan. If he were to spar with others, the consumption would likely be even higher.

The thought alone was frightening.

An expenditure of five hundred thousand yuan a day on food and drink was something an ordinary family couldn’t bear.

Luckily, he had sold an Extraordinary Creature for 1.5 billion last time. Coupled with some previous savings, he currently had more than two billion in hand. For the time being, he didn’t need to worry about money, as this sum was more than enough to support him until the completion of his Refining Points Cultivation.

Just then.

The doorbell rang, followed by Zheng Lan’s voice: "Li Yi, have you finished your Cultivation? There’s someone named Lin Yue looking for you. Oh right, my cousin Zheng Gong also came. They said they had some matters to discuss with you and asked me to come up to get you."

Li Yi snapped back to reality and strode towards the door, opening it: "Lin Yue has come? That’s great. She has finally recovered from her injuries and left the training base. Where are they now?"

"In the lobby on the ground floor," Zheng Lan said.

"Alright, wait for me for a moment, I’ll be right down." After speaking, Li Yi turned back to quickly freshen up, tidied the room, and then took the elevator down to the lobby with Zheng Lan.

The spacious and bright lobby on the ground floor of the building welcomed the sunlight, making the area feel warm and comfortable.

Zheng Lan had placed a set of sofas in the middle of the lobby. At the moment, Lin Yue, Zheng Gong, and a Cultivator named Yuan Mingjin were sitting there chatting.

"Li Yi really knows how to choose a place. Turning an entire building into a home might be a little wasteful, but after some decorating, it’s actually quite impressive. Plus, there’s plenty of room to house many people, and it’s very safe... It’s close to AnDing District, free from some of the dangers of the old city area," Lin Yue observed, looking around the building. Although many floors weren’t renovated, sitting in the spacious and bright lobby on the first floor still made one feel very comfortable.

"This is a reward from the Bureau of Investigation; you can’t envy it," Zheng Gong said: "But, on another note, Lin Yue, have you really thought this through? Are you planning to push Li Yi to compete for that slot?"

"Of course, I’ve also had time to think it through in the past few days. I joined the Bureau of Investigation a bit late. Although I’ve reached the Spiritual Realm, I don’t have seniority, so even if I were on missions 24/7, securing a slot would still be challenging. Therefore, it’s better for us to invest in Li Yi, to help him successfully capture the slot and become a Cross-border. Lin Yue’s gaze flickered as she spoke earnestly, "I’ve made calculations, and if we all work together, his chances of success are high. Once Li Yi becomes a Cross-border, we can also benefit from it in the future. Li Yi is generous and won’t be ungrateful, so he’s worth our efforts."

"Yuan Mingjin, do you think so too?" All of a sudden, Zheng Gong turned to the person beside him and asked.

Shrugging his shoulders, Yuan Mingjin said, "I met Li Yi at the training ground. Honestly, joining any squad makes no difference to me, as I certainly have no stake in the competition for that slot. But compared to others, I’d prefer if Li Yi entered the Golden Academy. After all, he helped the Bureau of Investigation retrieve an incomplete wonder. I got lucky and was allowed to use it for a day. Although I couldn’t break through the illusion, I indirectly benefited from it. As for the others, sorry, I’m not very familiar."
