Chapter 187 Team
"boom!"

A sound like thunder echoed in the Peace Financial Building. The power of the fist was released, and Li Yi's supernatural power burst out. With just one punch, he shattered the air and rolled up a wave of air around. Compared with before, Li Yi's strength was even more terrifying after entering the Blood Training Realm.

Moreover, it is more durable. As long as the qi and blood are not depleted, Li Yi can punch continuously.

However, the body of the evolver has a strong recovery ability. As long as there is enough nutrient solution, he can swing such a punch continuously for three days and three nights.

Li Yi performed a set of fighting techniques, and practiced the Mountain-Shaking Fist and the Heart-Stirring Palm again. He then had a new understanding of his own strength.

Now he can fight against spiritual masters head-on. Even if facing a top spiritual master like Yang Yilong, he has the strength to fight. But if it is a life-and-death fight, Li Yi knows that he is still no match for Yang Yilong. Once that guy's guidance technique condenses into that invisible sword, it will be a devastating blow to him.

Only by training the blood to enter the acupoints, concentrating the fist force and using the guiding technique can one defeat him.

"There's no need to rush now. I need to nourish my qi and blood for ten days or half a month, then I can try to break through the training." Li Yi's eyes flashed, and he stood with his fist clenched.

Now his body is continuously producing new blood to replace the old blood, while strengthening the qi and blood. The speed of accumulation is much faster than that of warriors from all over the world. Ordinary warriors only need to nurture this stage for a few years or even ten years. Finally, when the qi and blood are at their peak, they need to take precious treasures to replenish their qi and blood, and then break through in one fell swoop.

But Li Yi doesn't need it.

The physical fitness of the evolvers is too high, and their recovery ability is too strong. Similarly, the speed of accumulating qi and blood is far beyond that of ordinary warriors. It only takes Li Yi half a month to complete the journey that others take nearly ten years to complete.

Of course, this comes at a cost.

Li Yi then picked up the golden nutrient solution beside him and started drinking it.

The price is that you get hungry too easily.

Even if he did nothing, Li Yi would consume five bottles of nutrient solution a day, which is equivalent to 500,000 yuan. If he fought with others, the consumption would be even greater.

It’s scary to think about it.

How could an ordinary family afford to spend half a million yuan on food and drink a day?

Fortunately, he got 1.5 million from the sale of a supernatural creature last time, plus some of his previous savings, he now has more than million in his hands. He doesn't have to worry about money for the time being, and this money is enough to support him to complete his practice.

Just at this time.

The doorbell rang, and then Zheng Lan's voice rang out: "Li Yi, have you finished your training? Someone named Lin Yue is looking for you. Oh, and my cousin Zheng Gong is here too. He must have something to ask you, so they asked me to come up and call you."

Li Yi came back to his senses, strode over and opened the door: "Lin Yue is here? That's great, she finally recovered from her injuries and left the training base. Where are they now?"

"In the lobby on the first floor." Zheng Lan said.

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll be down soon." After saying that, Li Yi turned back. He simply washed up, tidied up the room, and then took the elevator to the first floor with Zheng Lan.

The lobby on the first floor of the building is spacious and bright, with sunlight shining in, making people feel warm and comfortable.

Zheng Lan added a set of sofas in the middle of the lobby. At this moment, Lin Yue, Zheng Gong and a practitioner named Yuan Mingjin were sitting on the sofas and chatting.

"Li Yi really knows how to choose a place. He chose a building as his home. Although it's a bit wasteful, it's quite impressive after a little decoration. Moreover, the place is large enough to accommodate many people. It's also very safe. It's close to the Anding District and is not affected by some of the dangers in the old city."

Lin Yue was looking around the building at this moment. Although many floors had not been renovated, being in the spacious and bright lobby on the first floor still made people feel very comfortable.

"This is a reward from the Investigation Bureau. I can't envy it." Zheng Gong said, "But then again, Lin Yue, have you really thought it through? Are you planning to push Li Yi out to compete for that spot?"

"Of course. I have thought it through in the past few days. It is a little late for me to join the Investigation Bureau. Although I have reached the Spiritual Perception Realm, my experience is not enough. Even if I am on missions 24 hours a day, it is still difficult for me to get a quota. In this case, why don't we invest in Li Yi and let him get the quota smoothly and become a cross-border person?"

Lin Yue's eyes moved slightly, and she said seriously: "I've calculated that if several of us work together, he has a high chance of success. As long as Li Yi successfully becomes a cross-border person, we can also benefit from it in the future. Li Yi is a generous person and will not be ungrateful, so it is worth our efforts."

"Yuan Mingjin, do you think so too?" Zheng Gong suddenly asked the person next to him.

Yuan Mingjin shrugged and said, "Li Yi and I met at the training ground. To be honest, it doesn't matter which team I join. I definitely have no part in competing for a spot. But compared to others, I would rather Li Yi enter the Golden Academy. After all, Li Yi successfully recovered a broken artifact for the Investigation Bureau, and I got some credit. I applied for one day to use it. Although I didn't break the illusion, I indirectly benefited from it. As for the others, I'm sorry, I'm not very familiar with them."

His thoughts and reasons were very simple. Just by knowing Li Yi and having used the strange object training room once, he was willing to join Li Yi's team and help him.

"Since everyone has no problem with this, then we will reach a consensus, form a team, complete the task, and do our best to help Li Yi become a cross-border person." Zheng Gong said seriously.

However, just as a few people were chatting, a prompt sound rang out and the elevator opened.

Li Yi and Zheng Lan came out.

"Sister Lin, you are finally discharged from the hospital. You should have fully recovered. Are you okay?" Li Yi asked with concern.

"It's fine. I was actually discharged from the hospital yesterday. I was delayed for a while because I practiced in the Wonderful Object Training Room for a day. I just came here today." Lin Yue smiled and said, "You seem to have changed a little since we last met. I feel that your strength has improved again. Are you going to open your spiritual perception soon?"

Li Yi shook his head and said, "How can it be so fast? I have only made some progress, but I am still a long way from opening my spiritual sense."

Afterwards, he saw Yuan Mingjin again and immediately greeted him, "Yuan Mingjin, I didn't expect Sister Lin to really pull you out of the training base. How are you doing recently? Are you okay?"

"Not so good. I was nearly killed by Wei Bin last time. Fortunately, an instructor tried his best to stop him, otherwise I would have been a corpse." Yuan Mingjin shook his head, with a hint of sadness in his words.

"There's no other way. After I started practicing, there are more conflicts in society, and they are more intense than before. Many people have sacrificed their lives, but we are still alive and have to keep moving forward. We can't become decadent because of this." Li Yi said. He couldn't help but think of Wang Jian's death.

Such a responsible investigator died in the abandoned city area. Even now he is still angry when he thinks of this incident. Yuan Mingjin nodded and said, "I understand, so this time I choose to join your team, and I hope you can go further."

At this moment, Zheng Gong said again: "Li Yi, before you go downstairs, I have discussed with Lin Yue and Yuan Mingjin. You are the only one in our team who is qualified to compete for the Golden Academy quota. You are most likely to become a cross-border person in the future, so we plan to invest in you and concentrate our efforts on helping you win one of the two quotas in the Investigation Bureau."

"Huh?" Li Yi was very surprised: "Why is it so sudden?"

Then he looked at Lin Yue again.

Lin Yue nodded and said, "Li Yi, don't be surprised. This is normal. Now the practitioners in Tianchang City are all looking for investment. They all hope to launch one or two strong representatives to compete for the quota and become cross-border practitioners. For example, Li Shaoqing from the Practitioner Association has several spiritual masters supporting him, and many local wealthy people have invested in him. For example, Yang Yilong has the resources of the entire Yang family and the assistance of masters like Qin Qing. If we don't unite, we won't even have a chance, let alone a chance to cross borders in the future."

"Why choose me? Wouldn't it be more suitable if it was you, Sister Lin?" Li Yi said.

Lin Yue shook her head and said, "I thought about it and I can't do it. I can't compete with Li Shaoqing and Yang Yilong in the Cultivator Association. I joined the Investigation Bureau late, so it's hard for me to compete with Taoist Priest Peter, Zhang Lei, and Gu Mengping, who are senior masters. There are only three vacancies now, one for the Cultivator Association and two for the Investigation Bureau. The former has no chance, but if you are the latter, you may have a chance."

"So now, we must help you with all our strength."

Li Yi hesitated for a moment, then said: "Even so, our competitiveness is still not strong enough, and the probability of failure is very high."

"It's okay, don't feel pressured, just work hard. If even you fail, I'll accept it too." Lin Yue said.

"Yes, it's better to work hard than not to work hard at all," said Mr. Zheng.

Yuan Mingjin said: "Li Yi, you give it a try. I won't blame you if it doesn't work. If you don't do it, you will regret it when the Tianqing incident really happens. Even if you die in the future, at least you will die willingly."

"Since you all said so, then okay, let's give it a try." Li Yi nodded and said, "If I can enter the Golden Academy and become a cross-border person in the future, before the second Tianqing event comes, I will definitely take you away from the earth and go to a safe world."

If that doesn't work, he still has the world of Four Seas and Eight Continents as a backup.

"That's right, cheer up, you are very good, I believe you can do it." Lin Yue said with a smile: "From today on, I will help you complete the task, and I will also find a way to concentrate all resources to help you improve your strength. But you have a strange training room, so you don't lack cosmic energy. Otherwise, I can act as your guide."

It is such a luxury for a master of spiritual perception to become a guide.

"However, Li Yi, after this matter spreads in a few days, there will definitely be other people willing to invest in you. At this time, I suggest that you accept investment from a few practitioners. After all, we have too few people now and are not very competitive. If there are more people, the situation may be much better." Lin Yue said again at this time.

"It doesn't matter even if the practitioners who invest are a little bit weaker. One more person means more strength."

Li Yi nodded and said, "Okay, Sister Lin, I'll make a note of it."

"Come on, everyone must be thirsty, have a cup of tea." At this time, Zheng Lan prepared a cup of tea for everyone and brought it over, allowing everyone to take a break.

"Cousin, it's a good choice for you to live here. It's so safe here in Liyi. If you go back to the old city, you might be in danger." Zheng Gong said with a smile.

Zheng Lan said, "Yes, I also benefited from Li Yi's help. Otherwise, I don't know what to do now. Such a big thing happened in the old city and many people can't live anymore."

"Li Yi, I think you should let your cousin work here, so that she won't have to live alone and be homeless. It's very dangerous outside," said Mr. Zheng.

Li Yi said: "A few days ago, I asked Zheng Lan to help me manage the building and take care of my parents. Zheng Lan agreed. If she has no objection, she can stay with me forever."

"That's great." Mr. Zheng said with a smile while drinking his tea.

But at this moment, his cell phone rang, which made him put down the teacup in his hand, take a look, and then his face changed.

"What happened?" Li Yi noticed his expression and asked immediately.

Engineer Zheng said, "Gu Mengping sent a message for help, asking nearby investigators to rush over to support them. The nest of the Spider-Man in the old city has been found, but there are too many of them for their team to handle, and now an investigator has died."

"So what are you waiting for? Take action."

Lin Yue's eyes lit up, and she immediately stood up and said, "I remember this is a big task. If we can successfully solve this matter, Li Yi will have a chance to defeat Gu Mengping."

She is an impatient person. Since she has decided to help Li Yi get a spot in the Investigation Bureau, she will not hesitate and will not miss any opportunity.

"Indeed, this is an opportunity. If we can find the mother Spider-Man and kill it, it will definitely be a great achievement." Engineer Zheng said and glanced at Yuan Mingjin.

Yuan Mingjin immediately said: "I have no problem. I have already applied for the sniper rifle and the bullets are ready. I can go out at any time."

"If I want to go on a mission, I have to go back and get some nutrient solution. I feel hungry easily lately and I need to eat a full meal before I have the strength to do anything." Li Yi said.

Zheng Lan immediately said: "Li Yi, wait a moment, I will get it for you."

"Okay, thank you for your help." Li Yi nodded.

Seeing this, Engineer Zheng immediately said, "I'll drive the car. Four of us can fit in one car."

"I don't have anything to prepare. I can act at any time." Lin Yue looked eager to try. Then she patted Li Yi's shoulder and said confidently, "Don't be nervous. Sister Lin will take care of you if anything happens."

"Thank you very much, Sister Lin." Li Yi said with a helpless smile.

He is not a three-year-old child who needs someone to take care of him, but of course he would not refuse Sister Lin's kindness.
