Chapter 10 The Crow's Phone Call

In the dim living room.

Li Yi sat motionless on the ground, his eyes closed, breathing evenly, and he was completely immersed in spiritual practice.

The incomplete knife coin brought him unimaginable huge advantages. The pure energy was continuously guided by his thoughts into his body and then absorbed.

After being nourished by this energy, the cells in the human body begin to evolve actively.

The evolved cells will divide faster than previous cells, have a longer lifespan, and be stronger. These subtle changes will eventually be reflected in the complete individual, so the practitioner's physical fitness will be stronger, bones will be tougher, and of course his lifespan will also be increased.

This is an all-round transformation.

Therefore, spiritual practice is a process of self-evolution.

However, after Li Yi entered into meditation for about two or three hours, he felt a strong sense of hunger in his body, which forced him to open his eyes and interrupt his practice.

"I'm so hungry." He licked his lips.

His stomach was growling and a strong feeling of hunger and thirst filled his body. The food he had eaten in the evening had long been digested, so he needed to eat immediately.

Li Yi did not panic, he knew that this was normal. As his body evolved, it consumed more energy. The most obvious change was that he could eat a lot, so he had to stand up and cook for himself to fill his stomach first.

The milk, noodles and instant noodles in the refrigerator were quickly eaten up, but he was still very hungry, and in the end he even dissolved the granulated sugar used for seasoning in warm water and drank it all in one gulp.

Li Yi's hunger didn't subside until he had eaten all the edible food in the house.

"No wonder some people say that the medical cabin is not for the Silent, but for the practitioners. Now I understand that after entering the medical cabin, the practitioners can get a comfortable and stable environment for practice. The medical cabin can automatically adjust the temperature and humidity of the air, isolate the noise, and massage your body to promote blood circulation and prevent the body from getting sick from sitting for a long time. Of course, the most important thing is that it can automatically replenish the nutrients needed by the practitioners' bodies."

Li Yi glanced at the two medical cabins in the room and thought to himself.

"A second-hand medical capsule is worth at least one million. If it is a new model, the starting price is more than thirty million. The cheapest nutrient solution is one thousand per bottle, which can sustain the basic consumption of a Silent One for ten days. However, the top-grade nutrient solution is one hundred thousand per bottle. It is simply liquid gold. That kind of nutrient solution should be provided for practitioners."

"Otherwise, the practitioners would have to wake up to eat every few hours of practice, which would greatly affect the efficiency of practice."

"So if ordinary people want to practice, they must at least be equipped with a medical cabin and a sufficient amount of nutrient solution. If they have some money, they can also hire a guide to help guide the cosmic energy into the practitioner's body, greatly shortening the time required for practice."

"If you calculate it this way, you need to spend money everywhere in spiritual practice. It seems that most people are unwilling to practice not because they are afraid of the poison in spiritual practice, but because they don't have money. If they have money, these problems can be solved."

Li Yi finished the sugar water in his hand, smacked his lips, and after thinking about it, he was secretly surprised.

"So, the most urgent thing is that I must find a job that can make a lot of money, or even if I have this incomplete treasure, my path of cultivation will not be smooth. In addition to supporting my own cultivation, I also have to support my parents so that they can lie in the medical cabin and sleep soundly. After all, I can't feed my parents cheap nutrient solution that costs one thousand per bottle for a long time."

"Once I have the money, I will also buy the latest and best medical cabin and nutrient solution that costs 100,000 per bottle."

The pursuit is different now, and Li Yi's desires and ambitions are even greater. Now he is definitely not satisfied with the small salary he earned from working before.

"Continue practicing. Tomorrow, go ask Lin Yue how people who practice cultivation make money."

Li Yi entered into a state of meditation again and entered into a state of cultivation.

The night passed quickly.

Daybreak.

Li Yi went out early. He was very hungry and had eaten all the food at home, so he went straight to the breakfast shop downstairs.

"Boss, give me twenty buns first."

His voice was loud and full of energy. Although he was hungry, his mental state was surprisingly good. He felt relaxed and full of energy, without any of the tiredness he had when he worked before.

This is only the first day of practice.

Li Yi was eating while thinking about how to make money today. He only had more than 1,000 yuan left in his hand. His family was almost out of food. If he couldn't bring back two bottles of nutrient solution before the evening, his parents would starve with him.

As he was thinking, his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the ringing of a cell phone.

Li Yi picked it up and saw that the caller was the black-hearted intermediary who usually introduced him to jobs: Brother Yellow Curly.

"Is it Li Yi?"

When I answered the phone, it was not Brother Curly's voice on the other end. The voice was very low and familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere.

I remembered.

It’s the old crow that I’m not very familiar with.

Li Yi's heart trembled and his face instantly became solemn. He didn't expect that the other party solved the trouble at the Investigation Bureau so quickly. It seemed that this group of people were not ordinary practitioners, but people with a certain identity and background.

"It's me, Old Crow." He did not choose to escape, but communicated directly.

"You ran very fast yesterday. You disappeared in a flash. Where are you now?" asked the old crow.

Li Yi said, "Just speak directly. Don't beat around the bush. You are not interested in a poor boy like me. You are interested in the things I brought back from the abandoned city, right?"

"You really know the situation. Hand it over. You can't take that thing. Don't make trouble for no reason." The old crow spoke in a low voice, revealing a threatening tone.

"Am I the one looking for trouble, or are you? We agreed to pay you once you found the things, but I still haven't received any money. Yesterday you thought I wanted to run away, but you didn't pay me and you wanted to kill me. You were the ones who broke your word first. Bah, what a bunch of crap." "I'll give you ten minutes to transfer the money to me right away, or I'll take these things to the Investigation Bureau and claim they're stolen goods."

Li Yi immediately righteously started to scold the old man on the other end of the phone.

You can witness me from ten meters away, but you definitely can't do anything to me through the screen of your mobile phone.

And the more confident Li Yi feels now, the more he can prove that he has no guilty conscience and is not taking other people's things.

Lao Ya's face twitched immediately, and he was so angry that he almost crushed his phone. Then he explained, "Liu Yan's death was an accident. Although we killed her, she was possessed by a ghost at the time and there was no hope for her. We had no choice but to kill her."

"Whether I'm possessed by a ghost or not is up to you to decide. If you find me now, I'll probably be possessed by a ghost too. You no longer have any credibility. If you want to get your things back, you have to pay me first. Otherwise, I will report both the strange object and the stolen goods, and no one will have an easy time." Li Yi said.

The old crow on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and then he responded after a while: "Okay, I can transfer the money to you first, but you have to take a photo of the item and send it to me so that I can make sure it is still in your hands."

"Transfer the money first, then look at the goods." Li Yi said.

The old crow on the other end of the phone spoke in a cold tone: "You little brat, you really value money over your life. Do you really think I can do nothing to you? I can get through to you today, and I can find your home tomorrow. You should know that there are not many people in the old city of Tianchang who own two medical cabins. You have actually been exposed a long time ago. I advise you to be honest."

Li Yi was startled when he heard this, and he fell silent immediately.

If he gets into trouble, he can just run away, but his parents at home are lying in the medical cabin and can't escape, this is his weakness.

"Take a photo of the things and send them to me first. I will give you money based on the value of the things." Lao Ya said. Although he made a threat, he did not dare to push Li Yi too hard.

If this guy really takes the things to the Investigation Bureau, they will suffer the greater losses.

They are practitioners, it’s not worth it for them to be dragged down by a few miserable lives.

Fortunately, this is a safe area. If it was in the abandoned city area, Lao Ya would really want to kill people to silence them and avoid trouble.

Li Yi had no choice but to swallow his anger and compromise under such threats: "Okay, I'll take a photo of what I got and send it to you."

After saying that, he opened his backpack, took out a pile of tattered clothes, took a photo and sent it over.

After receiving the photo, Lao Ya immediately showed it to Ning Wu who was standing beside him.

"This is the burial object that Li Yi got from the second underground floor. Do you think it has any value?"

Ning Wu stared at the picture and said, "Those clothes are indeed not from our world, and the material is very special. However, the probability of them being rare objects is very small, because rare objects are difficult to destroy. Those clothes are rotten and damaged, so they are almost worthless. It seems that our target should still focus on Wang Hu and Wei Li."

"Is it possible that the other party lied and concealed something?" Old Crow said in a deep voice.

Ning Wu closed her eyes and recalled the scene from yesterday, then said, "It's unlikely that they are hiding something. The number of clothes in the picture does match the number of clothes that Li Yi had in his hand yesterday. But to avoid any complications, give him some money to get his things back."

"okay, I get it."

Lao Ya nodded, and then continued talking to Li Yi: "What you have is a pile of junk, worthless, but considering the special nature of this matter, I am still willing to offer 10,000 to buy it back."

"Only ten thousand? Wasn't it agreed to be two million?" Li Yi almost started to curse.

Old Crow sneered and said, "It's just a few rags. Do you think you have something rare in your hand? How dare you ask for two million? It's only ten thousand yuan. Do you want it or not? Don't want even ten thousand yuan."

Li Yi gritted his teeth and blurted out a word: "Yes."

Mosquitoes are meat no matter how small they are.

As expected, these guys are very vicious. If they hadn’t collected the 50,000 yuan deposit before, they would have lost a lot of money now.

"I guess you're too scared of death to show up. Put your things in the locker in the mall and I'll ask someone to get them." Old Crow said.

"it is good."

Li Yi hung up the phone, but he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief the next moment, having been gritting his teeth the moment before.

It should have been fooled.

Although I don’t know how long I can fool them, at least Old Crow and his gang won’t target me in the short term.

Of course, Li Yi also understood that it was not because of how skilled he was, but because the other party’s attention was attracted by Wang Hu and Wei Li. After all, it was more likely that those two people were holding rare objects in their hands.

But he also knew in his heart that as long as he continued to practice, the next time the other party met him, the fact that he had the rare object would most likely be exposed.

Because the difference in cultivation between having magical objects and not having magical objects is huge, it cannot be explained by just saying you are a genius.

So before that, he must master certain self-protection skills, at least to be like that woman and open up his psychic powers.

Thinking of this, Li Yi took a deep breath, and a strong sense of crisis enveloped his whole body.

After dealing with the old crow's matter, he immediately set off for Uncle Biao's meditation room.

His understanding of cultivation is far from enough and he still needs to consult Lin Yue.
