Chapter 379: Chapter 268: Return to the Four Seas

He had rested for just one day.

The next morning, Lin Yue, Zhao Lingfu, and Li Yi, three masters of the Spiritual Realm, set out from the Peace Finance Building towards the danger zone.

During these three months, Lin Yue was not idle; she frequently entered the danger zone to hunt fierce beasts and extraordinary creatures, honing her skills while also accumulating a significant amount of Cultivation funds for Li Yi. After multiple trips into the danger zone, she and Zhao Lingfu had discovered a relatively safe new route.

Following this new route, the trio encountered no danger along the way; however, they had to stop their vehicle when they almost reached Ghost Street because there was no road ahead, only ruins and rubble left, forcing them to proceed on foot.

The group continued forward until they saw what resembled an ancient street, and only then did they halt.

"Lin Yue, Zhao Lingfu, let’s stop here. Ghost Street is just ahead. If we go any further, the ghost soldiers inside might notice us. Last time I brought something from Ghost Street that can mask the living’s scent, so these ghosts won’t discover me," Li Yi said, pulling a human skin mask from his backpack and putting it on.

"Okay, be careful on your way. If this trip doesn’t go well, retreat immediately and we’ll think of other ways to increase the Cultivation Value," Lin Yue said.

Standing by, Zhao Lingfu added, "Ghost soldiers are indeed a hassle, they’re tricky because we don’t have a means to deal with them effectively. It’s easy to harm the soul by accident. Although an Evolver’s strength is great, it can’t be utilized fully in front of ghost soldiers. I’ll go back and ask around to see if there’s a good method to tackle these ghosts. Once we find a way, we might as well join forces and storm into Ghost Street."

"That makes sense, but achieving this won’t be easy. Ghost soldiers and Yin Gods are still formidable adversaries for us unless we break through to another realm which might give us a chance," Li Yi remarked.

He indeed harbored this idea.

Only by breaking through Ghost Street could they fully open the path to the Four Seas and Eight Continents; otherwise, sneaking by like thieves each time was indeed inconvenient.

"Alright, let’s discuss further when I return. I need to depart now. Lin Yue, Zhao Lingfu, you should turn around and head back immediately. This is a danger zone, and although together you aren’t afraid of extraordinary creatures, this place isn’t just about dealing with extraordinary creatures. Didn’t the investigation bureau detect the presence of a mythical creature last time?" Li Yi finished speaking and immediately set off, urging the two to leave the danger zone right away.

After watching Li Yi enter Ghost Street, Lin Yue and Zhao Lingfu naturally didn’t dare to stay long and immediately turned back.

This trip was mainly to escort Li Yi, ensuring his safety along the way without planning to venture in the danger zone themselves.

Soon.

Li Yi, wearing the human skin mask, entered Ghost Street once more.

Three months later, Ghost Street was the same as before.

No, there was a difference.

The number of vengeful ghosts on the streets seemed to have increased, and among them were various types of people, which made it somewhat livelier than before.

Initially, Li Yi had planned to simply use the Mud Horse to Cross Border, but then he thought of something and ended up walking towards a narrow alley.

In the alley, vengeful ghosts were rare, and ghost soldiers hardly appeared.

Both sides of the alley were lined with many people setting up stalls, selling various goods as if they were at a fair.

Li Yi had been here more than once and seemed quite familiar with the place, quickly locating a familiar stall. The stall was not crowded; the vendor was a frail old man who seemed on the brink of death, sitting on the ground, head drooping, barely perceptible as alive, very serene.

"The first time I entered Ghost Street, this old man was already like this. I thought he wouldn’t last a month, but surprisingly, he’s still not dead," Li Yi quietly stood in front of the stall, staring at the old man and feeling uneasy.

Perhaps the old man made a good sale and earned some life span to extend his life.

Then Li Yi looked at the items on the old man’s stall, which were plentiful this time: a Mud Horse, a Coffin Ganoderma, a red frog seemingly radiating red light, a Netherworld Artifact, several enigmatic pearls, and even a jade-like Purple Bamboo.

Although Li Yi was not very knowledgeable about these items, he could tell that the old man was selling rare goods, not the common mass-market kind, and of course, they were expensive.

"Looking at the Mud Horse?" the old man’s raspy voice suddenly erupted.

"Yes, checking the Mud Horse," Li Yi crouched down, "Is it still the same price as before?"

"Correct, still ten years of life span. Want to buy?" the old man slightly lifted his head, his murky eyes fixating on Li Yi, clearly recognizing this regular customer.

"I also want the Coffin Ganoderma; how much for this item?" Li Yi asked.

Having Coffin Ganoderma meant that it was possible to concoct a Resurrection Pill.

"This time it’s cheaper, only fifty years of life span," the old man said.

"Good, I’ll take it. Let’s make the contract," Li Yi responded.

"Young man, your hall of the forehead is dark, a sign of impending death; you might not even outlive me, and still you want to buy? Come, let me see how much life span you have left," the old man took out a Life Plate, pointing to it, "You know the rules."

"Really tedious," Li Yi remarked.
