Chapter 815: Chapter 595: The Return of an Old Acquaintance

After Li Yi returned to the Golden Academy, he didn’t have time to observe the changes here; he first went back to his residence.

This was a Cultivation House transformed by the Daoist Artifact Tianyi Hall. It looked small, but actually had a world within. He didn’t take it with him on this cross-world journey but left it for Tu Daoist to use.

Just as he was about to enter the Cultivation House, suddenly, an abrupt voice sounded.

"Li Yi?"

The voice was somewhat familiar, yet carried a hint of disbelief, as if surprised to see Li Yi return.

Li Yi stopped in his tracks and immediately looked in the direction of the voice. He saw a tall and strong man standing in front of a Cultivation House, looking at him. This was someone he knew, it was Hu Fei, the Evolver he had met in the Sixth World.

He remembered that back then, he, Hu Fei, Zhao Fangji, and Jiang Mingtian had gone to pick the silver exotic fruit, only to mistakenly enter the Barbaric World and were defeated by the warriors of Shoushan Village. They all became captives.

Although Li Yi managed to escape Shoushan Village with a mouthful of Heart Blood, Hu Fei, Zhao Fangji, and Jiang Mingtian weren’t so lucky. They were sold as slaves by the people of Shoushan Village.

Even though Li Yi tried to rescue them, he ultimately failed because he was too weak to venture in that world. In the end, he had no choice but to retreat.

He thought it would be difficult to see those three again. Unexpectedly, he encountered Hu Fei again at the Golden Academy today.

"I specifically moved my Cultivation House near yours just to one day meet you, and I really did manage to wait for you." When Hu Fei saw Li Yi, his gaze was complex, containing both gratitude and a bit of guilt.

"Hu Fei, you escaped from the Barbaric World?" Li Yi hurried over and immediately asked.

Hu Fei nodded slightly: "I owe it to you. Didn’t you meet a Merchant Master named Xiu Xiang in the Barbaric World? Thanks to him, he redeemed me from a Mountain Lord and settled me in Beihuai City. I stayed there for a while to recuperate and only recently returned to the Golden Academy."

Although it was just a short sentence, one could imagine the hardships he went through.

After all, becoming a slave was not a good thing, and certainly involved all sorts of tortures.

Surviving was already quite something.

"I’m glad you came back alive. At the time, I was unfamiliar with the Barbaric World and limited in strength, so I could only request Merchant Master Xiu Xiang to find you. He’s a very trustworthy man, and I didn’t expect he actually rescued you. By the way, what about Zhao Fangji and Jiang Mingtian? Have you heard from them?" Li Yi asked again.

Hu Fei shook his head and said, "Zhao Fangji, Jiang Mingtian, and I were sold to different people. I don’t know where they are now; maybe still in the Barbaric World, maybe dead. After all, I haven’t found them at the Golden Academy. However, Merchant Master Xiu Xiang said he would keep looking for news about them, even if it’s about their deaths."

"I see..." Li Yi fell silent for a moment, then said somewhat shamefully, "I’m sorry, I could only do so much; I couldn’t help you much back then."

"It’s not your fault. At the time, we were all in the same situation. It was our lack of strength that prevented us from finding a chance to escape. You met a Merchant Master and did your best to rescue us; that was already more than enough. Without your help, I’d probably be dead in the Wilderness World, not back on Earth."

Hu Fei didn’t blame Li Yi and was instead very grateful to him.

"By the way, before I came back this time, Merchant Master Xiu Xiang had a message for you."

Li Yi asked, "What was the message?"

He didn’t expect that, after so long, the Merchant Master still remembered him.

"He hopes you can make time to visit Beihuai City. He wishes to see you again," Hu Fei said.

Upon hearing this, Li Yi nodded, "When I have time, I’ll make a trip to Beihuai City, if only to thank him in person."

Although he left the Barbaric World in a hurry back then, he undeniably owed Merchant Master Xiu Xiang a favor. Now, after several cross-world travels, his strength has greatly improved, and he is confident in facing the dangers of the Barbaric World.

"That’s good."

Hu Fei said, "Let me know when you’re setting off, and I’ll accompany you to Beihuai City. I’m quite familiar with it now."

"Okay, I’ll notify you once I’m settled." Li Yi replied.

"By the way, has anything major happened at the Golden Academy lately? Have the cultivators from the Xuanxian Continent continued their attacks?"

Hu Fei replied, "Although I haven’t been back long, it’s not the cultivators from the Xuanxian Continent that are troubling the Golden Academy lately, but the Demon God Realm. There have been frequent invasions by Great Demons, often resulting in large battles."

"By the way, the city closest to the cross-world point of the Demon God Realm is Tianchang City. Many experts from the Golden Academy have gone there to block the Great Demon invasions."

"Great Demon invasions from the Demon God Realm? I see." Li Yi nodded slightly.

He wasn’t surprised by the occurrence of this event.

Back then, he and others from the Golden Academy joined forces to kill Du Bai Zhi, who at the time was known as the Moon Jade Rabbit, the daughter of the Demon King from the Demon God Realm.

The Demon King, in anger, sent Great Demons to Earth for revenge, which was reasonable.

However, to guard against this, Li Yi specifically brought Yang Wei to the Golden Academy and even offered the Big and Small Ruyi Skill as compensation.

With Yang Wei’s presence, no matter what, at least Earth wouldn’t be destroyed by the Demon God Realm.

And indeed, that is the case.

Golden Academy is still standing, and Earth has not been fully invaded by the Great Demons. The war between the two realms remains within a controllable scope.

If Yang Wei hadn’t contributed in this, Li Yi wouldn’t believe it even if beaten to death.

"It seems I must return to Tianchang City to see the situation," Li Yi couldn’t help but be concerned about his hometown.

His master, junior sister, and junior brother are still in Tianchang City, and it is very close to the Four Seas and Eight Continents crossover point. If a Great Demon from the Demon God Realm runs to Four Seas and Eight Continents, it would be devastating.

However, Li Yi had arranged two experts at the Tri-Floral Realm to guard Tianchang City for its safety, one being Nun Liu and the other being Qian Daoist.

But before going to Tianchang City, the two had already cut off their top flower to help Xiang Xiangzi regain strength, dropping their realm to Chao Yuan Realm, no longer Tri-Floral Realm experts.

It is uncertain if they have regained their previous realm during this time.

There are many concerns in his heart.

Li Yi also knows he must be patient and take things slowly.

"Hu Fei, give me your latest contact information, and I’ll notify you when I go to the Wilderness World," he added.

"I bought an AI and named it Feifei. Feifei, are you there?" Hu Fei said.

"Master, I’m here," the AI’s voice echoed nearby.

Li Yi nodded, instructing Lan Ji to contact Feifei and record Hu Fei’s information for easy contact next time.

"Hu Fei, I’ll go back to rest now. Notify me immediately if you have any matters."

"Alright."

After a brief conversation, Li Yi returned to his Cultivation House.

As soon as he entered the Cultivation House, everything around changed drastically. All the previous items had disappeared, replaced by a magnificent palace capable of accommodating thousands.

But as soon as Li Yi walked into the Tianyi Palace, he felt a surge of cosmic energy rushing towards him, accompanied by a scorching aura, as though being roasted by a blazing fire.

"That is the energy field emitted by a complete miracle."

Li Yi looked towards the source of the energy to see a feather floating mid-air at the center of the hall, it was the Luanyang Feather he once saw at the Cross-border Base.

"How could this miracle be here?"

He was first puzzled but then realized it might have been brought by Wu the Taoist or Tu Daoist because Golden Academy once promised Wu the Taoist a complete miracle.

This miracle placed in Tianyi Hall is obviously to enhance the cosmic energy level of Tianyi Hall, benefiting cultivation.

"Truly, a surprise upon my return," Li Yi gazed at the feather, recalling his first crossover.

Back then, he was weak and would retreat from the energy field emitted by the feather, but today, time has changed, and he can completely withstand this immense cosmic energy, fearless.

After observing briefly, he did not take the miracle away but let it remain in Tianyi Hall.

After all, only a few with Tri-Floral Realm cultivation can freely access this place, others can’t enter, so there was no worry of the Luanyang Feather being stolen.

However, upon returning to his room, Li Yi saw a storage magical artifact placed by the bedside, seemingly left by a senior of the Tri-Floral Realm.

Li Yi picked up the storage magical artifact and was immediately a bit startled.

Inside was a mountain of elixirs.

These elixirs were refined using Extraordinary Creatures and even mythical creatures, containing terrifying Essence of Qi and Blood, capable of nourishing the body and accelerating cultivation.

Exactly what was needed.

During his absence, it appeared the seniors of the Tri-Floral Realm had been diligently acquiring resources, cultivating him.

Actually, Tu Daoist, Wu the Taoist, and Feiyunzi joined forces and hunted many extraordinary creatures, even slaying mythical creatures. Besides leaving elixirs for Li Yi, they acquired materials and crafted Dao Artifacts.

They came to this world empty-handed, luckily Li Yi left the Yin Yang Creation and Transformation Tripod behind.

Relying on this top-level Daoist Artifact, Tu Daoist quickly regained their former glory.

After all, facing powerful enemies outside Earth, some Dao Artifacts are essential.

So, it’s a win-win situation.
