"Wait a moment."
Lin Yi dispatched a warrior to return to the territory and inform Wang Fugui.
Not long after.
The latter followed the warrior to the west gate.
He had obviously learned the content of their conversation from the warrior, and his face was full of confusion.
He couldn't recall knowing this group of mysterious people.
"May I ask what the guest needs from this old man?" Wang Fugui leaned closer and saw the other's face, his brows slightly furrowed, still trying to recall.
"Ah?"
The old man fell into a daze upon hearing this, scrutinizing the latter from head to toe: fair and clear skin, strong and imposing physique, and a full head of glossy black hair.
Where was the appearance of someone past sixty years of age?
Upon probing internally, he detected a rich aura of light, not even purely human.
Was this truly the person he was looking for?
Wang Fugui somewhat understood the other's reaction and explained, "This old man was fortunate enough to receive a blessing from the Lord, allowing me to return to my youth. There's no need to be surprised."
"No wonder..."
The old man gently stroked his beard, sighing with some emotion, "Shen He, after so many years apart, you left the Realm of All Beings to find a wise master, and you have also obtained your own fortuitous encounter."
Then, he chuckled, "As per your request, I specifically came to help you today."
"You are..."
Hearing 'Shen He', Wang Fugui's body suddenly trembled, "You... you're that air force guy! What was his name again... Yun Wuji?"
He immediately recalled the old fishing friend he had casually met decades ago when he was a child fishing.
So many years had passed!
The other party still maintained his original appearance, full of vigor, even more so than before.
"Haha, it really is you!"
Yun Wuji's white eyebrows relaxed, finally confirming he hadn't found the wrong person.
"Hiss..." Upon receiving the affirmative reply, Wang Fugui was secretly astonished. He didn't remember having any agreement with the other party.
But the old man's identity couldn't be faked.
The name Shen He, had it not been brought up today, he himself would have almost forgotten it.
"These years..."
Yun Wuji was about to chat with Wang Fugui about old times.
A man in black from the caravan quickly stepped forward and reminded him in a low voice, "Master, this place is not suitable for a long stay... If we delay any longer, that woman will surely notice."
"Oh."
"It seems we can't reminisce today."
Yun Wuji suddenly understood, turned sideways, and his profound eyes scrutinized Lin Yi, getting straight to the point, "Young friend, what do you wish to trade for?"
Lin Yi, who had been watching the show, was still pondering the relationship between the two old men, and was slightly stunned when he heard this.
"You... you don't have anything! Besides, don't you require an equivalent exchange?"
Lin Yi pointed to the empty carriage.
"What do you wish to trade for?" Yun Wuji smiled without speaking.
"Let me think..." A gleam flashed in Lin Yi's eyes, and he asked, "Do you have the spirits of adult illusory beasts?"
"Yes, yes."
Yun Wuji nodded slightly, and a shriveled cloth bag appeared in his palm. A constantly changing gaseous energy floated out of the bag, "After conversion, I'll sell it to you for 1000 purple crystal coins."
"Do you have ten?" Lin Yi asked again.
"Of course."
"Time is limited, I hope young friend can hurry up."
Yun Wuji waved his hand, and ten spirits floated in mid-air.
"Bring all the treasury over!" Lin Yi quickly ordered his subordinates, then continued, "I'll buy the spirits! What about Rift Gold? Do you have any? I need 200!"
"Yes, yes!" The bag in Yun Wuji's hand was like a slot machine spitting out coins, clattering out a small pile of glittering, dark-veined ore.
"After conversion, 5000 gold coins per piece."
Looking back, his subordinates were arriving one after another, carrying boxes full of valuables. Lin Yi waved his hand grandly, saying, "I'll take them all!"
He opened the treasury interface.
A total of 16,000 purple crystal coins and 5 million gold coins.
Just purchasing the materials for the Rift Illusion Generator alone cost a good portion.
"I'm in a hurry, I'll be leaving in a quarter of an hour. You have three trading opportunities, and now only one remains," Yun Wuji reminded with a smile.
Lin Yi almost spat out a mouthful of old blood upon hearing this!
Such an important matter, why didn't you say so earlier?
With the restriction, he pondered for a moment, and was about to speak.
Wang Fugui, beside him, rolled his eyes and quickly interjected before him, "Buy 10 trading opportunities!"
"Yes... yes..."
Yun Wuji's words abruptly stopped. He was stunned for a moment before he laughed and scolded, "You greedy fellow, I really don't have that!"
Suddenly.
He looked up at the night sky and reminded, "The plan has changed, I need to leave quickly, one minute, young friend, hurry up."
"I want..."
Under the accelerated thought process, numerous ideas flashed through Lin Yi's mind instantly. He spoke solemnly, "To purchase your advice for the future development of my territory."
He didn't have much money left.
If the grade was too low, it wouldn't be worth buying.
If the grade was too high, his money definitely wouldn't be enough.
Rather than spending time on meaningless probing.
It would be better to let this seemingly extraordinary old man give him some pointers.
"Oh?"
Yun Wuji was a little surprised, nodded in approval, "Not bad, please wait a moment, young friend."
Whoosh whoosh--
Suddenly, he formed a sword-finger with his left hand, leaving a blur in mid-air as it landed on his glabella.
The next moment!
A faint green glow bloomed at his glabella, condensing into a vertical eye pattern.
Yun Wuji placed his Heavenly Eye on Lin Yi and immediately froze.
"Hiss..."
"Spiritual energy? Faint power of faith?"
No...
Is this right?
Yun Wuji thought his old eyes were playing tricks on him and rubbed his Heavenly Eye, deceiving himself.
The pure spiritual energy within Lin Yi, without any impurities, was genuine!
And the power of faith, though extremely faint and unable to condense even a trace, was also attached to his body surface.
But it was also very abnormal!
"Strange..."
Yun Wuji took the risk of performing a divination, but felt as if he had sunk into a quagmire, receiving no feedback whatsoever.
"Young friend, you have not chosen a faith?" Yun Wuji frowned tightly.
"Yes." Lin Yi nodded in admission.
"No wonder..."
"The residents don't believe in external gods, so the power of faith has gathered on the Lord, has it?"
Yun Wuji stroked his beard and mused, "Before ascending, young friend, remember, do not incur karma!"
"That is to say, the so-called sin value."
"Ascending with karma will surely incur the punishment of heavenly lightning! It will also completely cut off any prospects for promotion."
"In this trial, young friend, try your best to achieve an excellent ranking among all races..."
"I have a skill book here; you can take it and comprehend it yourself."
"Due to the influence of certain rules, this old man cannot see through you, nor can I explain too much."
Yun Wuji took out an ancient book from his bag, flicked his finger, and the book appeared in Lin Yi's arms.
He looked up at the night sky again, sighing, "I must go... Shen He, and this young friend, perhaps we will meet again."
Yun Wuji led the caravan and turned to leave towards the depths of the forest. Before disappearing, he raised his fingertip.
The boxes filled with coins on the ground trembled slightly, clattering as they rose into the air and flew towards Yun Wuji.
"Oh, and this third item, it doesn't count as a trade."
Yun Wuji's ethereal voice came from the dark forest, "Young friend, this book will cost you one gold coin, just to forge a good 緣."
As his voice fell.
A colorful beast skin scroll appeared before Lin Yi.
"Taiyin Corpse Control Art???"
"There really is a corpse refining method???"
Lin Yi hadn't expected the other party to send such a grand gift. Holding the scroll, he wore the expression of an old man on the subway looking at his phone, completely perplexed.
He turned his head and asked suspiciously, "Old Wang, what exactly is your relationship?"
As an ultimate-grade building, the Rift Illusion Generator.
The construction materials are definitely not cheap!
The mysterious old man even gave him a discount.
Not to mention the ultimate-grade skill scroll in front of him—the Taiyin Corpse Control Art.
"Could it be that you also have a drum-beating friendship?" Lin Yi asked with a face full of curiosity.
"Lord, you mustn't spread such rumors!"
Wang Fugui quickly defended himself, then frowned deeply, his mind working so fast it almost smoked.
He still couldn't recall any agreement between himself and Yun Wuji.
He hadn't dared to speak earlier, fearing that the other party would notice something amiss and interrupt the transaction.
"Alas, I'm getting old." Finding no answer, Wang Fugui shook his head.
Just then!
A prompt from his will resonated in his mind!
"Congratulations! This session's human Lord—Lin Yi, your territory has been upgraded to Level 4! Breaking the curse that no Level 4 territory has existed in the Trial Land throughout Blue Star human history! Therefore, as a token of congratulations, the following rewards are granted..."
