Chapter 161 A visit
Li Yi stayed in the room in the second half of the night. He had not slept all night. He would kill any blind ghost that dared to come over without hesitation to ensure the safety of the place and prevent the three people's life span from being stolen.

And just like that, the night passed.

It was not until dawn that the negative energy that filled the sky and earth began to dissipate rapidly. Some ignorant ghosts did not know how to leave, and when they were exposed to the sun, they were severely damaged and began to dissipate rapidly. Those evil creatures could not survive the first sunrise. For a moment, the sky and the earth seemed to be cleared.

But Li Yi understood that those ghosts that disappeared were those that posed no threat. The truly powerful and intelligent ghosts had all left before dawn. Those ghosts would appear again on the first day of the next month and continue to take away people's lives, over and over again.

He worked so hard to kill ghosts last night, but he only protected a few people around him.

Compared with the overall situation in the world, it is insignificant.

Li Yi was looking at the sunrise at this moment, feeling a layer of haze covering his heart. Before solving the problem of ghosts and gods taking away lifespan, the four seas and eight continents were not a very suitable world to survive in. People here had too short lifespans and no chance of turning over. It was impossible for you to practice and evolve, because the energy of the universe was thin and the speed of evolution was too slow.

There is no way to get ahead by practicing martial arts. Fan Zhizhou said that if you dare to break through after practicing spirit, you will be surrounded and killed by ghosts and gods. Otherwise, you should just stop practicing spirit and become a ghost after death, becoming one of the evil ghosts that eats the lifespan of living people to survive.

It seems that the number of ghosts and gods that can be fed between heaven and earth has reached a certain limit, and they are not allowed to have any more powerful Dharma masters to share their food. Therefore, the ghosts and gods with vested interests in front have completely cut off the way for those who come later.

In such a situation, one can only be a slave for generations, and a slave with a short lifespan. Who can bear this?

Even if he is a warrior, he can only make life a little better, but he cannot change anything.

"Compared to Earth, the cruelty here is no less. Are the four seas and eight continents more special than Earth, or is it that the world is like this in every world? If every world is so cruel, then what's the point of crossing boundaries? Or is it that I'm just unlucky and happened to encounter such a world. Maybe there is a better and happier world out there, but I just haven't met it." Li Yi's eyes moved slightly, his mind a little complicated.

He thought about it for a long time alone, but couldn't come up with an answer.

However, Li Yi understood that no matter where he was, it was particularly important to be strong. Since every world was cruel, he would rely on his own strength to create a sky of his own.

Thinking of this, his heart became firm again, and the feeling of confusion disappeared.

"Brother, I have good news for you. My little sister and I have both broken through to the Blood Refining Stage."

Suddenly, at this moment, Rong Niang and Zhao Qian walked out of the room. They looked much younger, especially Rong Niang. Her face was fair and tender, as if she was eighteen years old again, and she was radiant.

Li Yi took a look and was a little surprised: "He broke through to the Blood Training Realm overnight?"

"Yes, my junior sister and I supplemented each other's lifespans. As our lifespans increased, we found that our blood and qi were exceptionally strong, and our bone marrow was exceptionally full. Before we knew it, we had achieved perfection in marrow training. Afterwards, the bone marrow began to produce new blood, and we officially entered the blood training realm." Rong Niang looked excited.

"I didn't expect that there is such a thing as replenishing life span, but I can understand it. The longer the life span, the longer the peak period of the body, which is very helpful for martial arts." Li Yi said: "Since you have taken this opportunity to break through to the blood training realm, you should continue to work hard to practice and strive to become a master of acupoint training as soon as possible."

"Brother, it may be difficult for me to break through the training stage, but my little sister has great hope. She is only sixteen years old, and a sixteen-year-old who can train blood is already considered a genius." Rong Niang said modestly.

Zhao Qian said: "I am not a genius at all. Brother Yi is the real genius. I just took advantage of Brother Yi's influence this time and gained more lifespan for no reason. I was lucky and took this opportunity to break through."

Li Yi shook his head and said, "This is not because of my luck. Those life points were originally lost by you. Now I just take them back. By the way, how much life points did you each regain in one night?"

"Rong Niang and I have each gained twenty years of lifespan," said Zhao Qian.

"Only twenty years? Not enough. People in the world only live to be fifty years old. Under normal circumstances, you have lost at least forty years of life. You have to make up for at least forty years. The life span I robbed last night was more than three hundred years. Even if you convert it in half, there is still about one hundred and sixty years, which is enough for you." Li Yi said.

Rong Niang came over and said, "Brother, we are thinking of giving some of the remaining life span to Master, some to the martial arts school, and saving the rest for you, so that you can use it in the future."

"Yes, we plan to give you, Brother Yi, a hundred years of life. This way, Brother Yi will be able to maintain his peak state for a longer period of time. Maybe he can become a top-notch warrior in the future." Zhao Qian also nodded.

Even though Li Yi said he didn't need his life span, they were still subconsciously willing to keep most of the resources for Li Yi, hoping that Li Yi would achieve extraordinary success in the future.

Li Yi smiled and said, "I know you have good intentions, you can just keep it for yourself. I told you yesterday that if it's not enough, I will go and grab it on the first day of next month. Well, let's not talk about this for now. Today you should go tell Master the good news and help him make up for his lost lifespan."

"Brother Yi is right. I'll do it right away." Zhao Qian nodded repeatedly, then returned to the house to start preparing.

"Rong Niang, you should go too. This matter needs to be kept secret and no one should know about it. By the way, give some life span to Shouhou as well. He has been working hard and making great contributions recently and we should not leave him behind." Li Yi said.

"Okay, Senior Brother, I'll remember that." Rong Niang agreed. "I'm going to continue my training. If there's anything going on in the martial arts hall, let me know. Also, I want you to tell Master that I'm leaving here in a few days and going back to my original world." Li Yi spoke again.

Rong Niang's expression changed, and she asked hurriedly, "When do you plan to leave, Brother?"

"I'm not sure. I'm thinking of observing for a few days and leaving after Master's injuries are completely healed." Li Yi said as he walked towards the direction of martial arts practice.

Rong Niang caught up with him and asked, "Is Senior Brother going back alone this time?"

"That should be the case. I came here in a hurry this time and was not well prepared. I will come to see you next time after I finish my work over there." Li Yi said, "By the way, you and Zhao Qian should come back early today. I want to teach you how to practice and see if you can adapt to our practice method over there."

Rong Niang's eyes were a little complicated. She looked at Li Yi's back, and a desire surged in her heart. She wanted to follow her senior brother, but she didn't know how to say it. Would she cause her senior brother to be disgusted if she said it rashly?
And the senior brother had no intention of taking anyone away with him.

"Brother, you go and practice first. My sister and I will be back soon." Rong Niang still didn't have the courage to ask, so she had to do the things in front of her first.

After the two left, Li Yi continued to practice alone in the martial arts training ground.

The effect of the Hundred Tiger Ginseng Pill he took yesterday was still there. He continued to mobilize his Qi and blood and nourish his bone marrow, striving to improve his martial arts realm as soon as possible and further enhance his strength.

But Li Yi clearly felt that his practice speed had slowed down.

A strong physique is both an advantage, but also a disadvantage at this time.

In order to perfect his marrow training, Li Yi has to spend more time and consume more resources than ordinary warriors. This realm cannot be achieved quickly, and even an evolver has to take it slowly. However, this slowness also has its advantages, which is that his marrow training realm is several times, or even dozens of times, better than that of ordinary marrow training warriors.

However, even though his practice speed slowed down, Li Yi did not slack off and continued to practice as he should.

During the time when Li Yi was practicing, Jin Dafu, a servant he had recruited before, came to visit him. He brought with him more than a dozen servants, including maids, waiters, cooks, and handymen. Although there were only a dozen people, each of them was carefully selected by him and was very honest and reliable.

"Master, are you satisfied with these people?" Jin Dafu brought the servants to the martial arts training ground and waited respectfully for Li Yi to take a look.

Li Yi took a quick look and said, "Let's do this. Arrange these people and let them do what they need to do. Such a big mansion needs some popularity."

"My master is right. I will do my job right away. Su Qiaoer, you stay and serve my master well." Jin Dafu then stretched out his hand and asked a young and beautiful maid to stay, and then left the martial arts training ground with the others.

Soon, the servants in the mansion began to work under Jin Dafu's arrangement. They cleaned up the garbage, swept the yard, and sorted out the debris. At the same time, there were two guards guarding the gate.

With the addition of these dozen people, this place seems to be more like that.

With servants to do things, Li Yi can concentrate on his practice without having to worry about trivial matters.

In this way, when he practiced until the afternoon.

Jin Dafu hurried over and said, "Master, the mayor of Sanyang is here to visit."

"Fan Zhizhou?" Li Yi, who was adjusting his Qi and blood with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and frowned: "I know, let him wait for me in the lobby, I will be there soon."

He remembered that he had talked about ghosts and gods with Fan Zhizhou last night, but he didn't expect that he would come to visit today.

Could it be that they can't wait to cross the border?

Li Yi thought about it and continued to practice for a while before he calmed down his blood and qi, ending a day of practice. At this time, the maid Su Qiaoer, who had been waiting beside him, had already brought a basin of water and a sweat towel.

"Master, wash your face." Su Qiaoer whispered softly.

Li Yi was not polite. After taking it, he washed his face, then washed his hands and strode away.

Since we are all over the world, we have to accept the master-servant concept.
