Chapter 276 Funding
After Li Yi reached an agreement with the four great families, the four great families did fulfill their promises very well. They agreed to all the requests made by Li Yi, and they used all the resources they could. It seemed that they were more anxious than anyone else and hoped that Li Yi could reach a higher level in martial arts and solve the disaster of ghosts and gods as soon as possible.
It was only after dealing with the four great families that he felt the rich heritage of these thousand-year-old families.
After receiving these grants, if Li Yi returns to his own world and practices with the help of rare objects, he may even have the confidence to become a powerful psychic in a short period of time. If he returns to the world at that time, I believe he will be able to compete with ghosts and gods.
The banquet lasted from day to night.
In addition to funding, the four major families were also asking Li Yi about cross-border matters.
"Crossing the boundary doesn't have much risk, but once you are discovered by other worlds, the risk is huge. If the four seas and eight continents are discovered by the strong in other worlds, not to mention your noble families, even thousand-year-old ghosts and gods will be destroyed in one day. This time I will take Fan Zhizhou with me according to the previous agreement, but for now, it will be limited to him alone. After he has established himself in my world in the future, you can consider other things."
Li Yi also spoke frankly.
Even if it was him, if the existence of the Four Seas and Eight Continents was leaked out, he would not be able to keep the secret.
"I understand." Fan Wentian and several other elders from the aristocratic families nodded cautiously.
Li Yi said, "I will not stay here for long this time. I will leave in a few days. After I leave, Patriarch Fan and the elders of the various families do not need to stay in Sanyang City. So many masters gathered in such an ordinary city for a long time will inevitably attract other people's attention. Whether it is known by other families or noticed by the thousand-year-old ghosts and gods, it is not a good thing."
"We know this. After Young Master Li leaves, everything in Sanyang City will return to normal. My Fan family will arrange a new disciple to take over the position of Sanyang City Lord to avoid arousing suspicion. At the same time, the Meng, Zhao, and Qi families will also arrange ordinary disciples to enter Sanyang City for liaison purposes. If there is no important matter, the heads and elders of our families will not show up again. If Young Master Li has any requests in the future, he can mention them to the contact person. We will definitely pay attention secretly and never slack off." Fan Wentian said.
After hearing this, Li Yi knew that these people had already made all the plans, so he felt relieved and there was no need to say anything else.
Several people chatted for a while.
Seeing that it was getting late, Li Yi did not continue to stay in the City Lord's Mansion. He stood up and said goodbye to several people.
"Mr. Li, it is inconvenient for us to show up, so let Fan Zhizhou see you off." Fan Wentian said.
"Mr. Li, please come in." Fan Zhizhou gestured immediately.
Li Yi nodded and did not refuse. He left the City Lord's Mansion with Fan Zhizhou and took a carriage to the Li Mansion in the city.
"It looks like everything went well." Fan Wentian watched the two leave and couldn't help but smile and said, "This Li Yi is also a real person. What he asks for is not excessive. He doesn't ask for too much. The resources he takes are indeed for his own supply. He doesn't use our four great families to nourish others."
"With his speed of practice, the thousand-year-old situation of ghosts and gods can be broken within three years. We need to prepare early." Zhao Mingyue said with a little excitement.
"Three years? I don't think it will take three years. I think one year or less will be enough." Meng Que of the Meng family said in a deep voice, "He was limited by resources when he was practicing before. Now he has the support of the four great families like us. He is like a real dragon entering the sea or a tiger roaring in the mountains. After he practices his spirit, he will be able to cross the border and kill ghosts and gods. At this moment, he has opened the nine orifices and reached the peak of orifice training. It won't take him long to reach the two realms."
"Indeed, the people from this alien world have such high talent in martial arts that it is easy for them to break through the realm without any bottleneck restrictions. If people from other worlds were like this, we would have been really careful. Fortunately, we met this Li Yi, who does not have much ambition and is a very honest person. He is even willing to stop ghosts and gods from collecting lifespans for the sake of the people from all over the world. It can be seen that he has great justice in his heart." Qi He of the Qi family said.
Fan Wentian said, "Your reminder reminds me that we four great families must also make a gentleman's agreement. Apart from Li Yi, no matter who we meet, no matter which cross-border person we meet, we must not trust him or make friends with him. If the other party is weak, we will kill him. If he is strong, we will stay away from him."
"Of course." The others agreed without hesitation.
They all knew very well that not all people who crossed over had the same character as Li Yi. If they met someone who was born evil, they would also suffer.
After a while.
As the carriage stopped, Li Yi had returned to the front of the mansion.
"Brother Li, I will send you here. From today on, I will be in your care." Fan Zhizhou clasped his fists and bowed.
"I will cross the border and leave in three days. City Lord Fan must make preparations early. It is not easy to cross the border once. You should prepare everything you need, especially the mud horse. It is the key to crossing the Ghost Street. It is difficult to get out of the Ghost Street without it." Li Yi reminded at this moment.
Fan Zhizhou immediately said: "Brother Li, don't worry, I will prepare everything."
"That's good." Li Yi said no more and turned back home.
But as soon as he returned to the mansion, he saw that the house was brightly lit and boxes were placed from the front yard to the back yard. These were all donations sent by the four major families. It seemed that they had made preparations during the time they stayed in Sanyang City, otherwise the things would not have been delivered right after the negotiation.
Such a big commotion naturally attracted the attention of everyone in the mansion.
Not only Zhao Qian, Rong Niang, Jin Dafu and others were alarmed, but even their master Zhao Ge rushed over after hearing the news.
"Big Brother is back." Skinny Monkey's voice sounded. When he saw Li Yi returning home, he hurriedly shouted.
soon.
In the brightly lit lobby, Zhao Ge's figure immediately appeared, with a hint of worry in his eyes, because he could tell from the things sent into the mansion that his apprentice Li Yi was bound to have dealings with aristocratic families, but he had offended the Meng family last time, and now he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.
"Hello, Master." Li Yi immediately bowed respectfully.
"Just return home safely." Zhao Ge smiled and breathed a sigh of relief: "What happened today? Why are there carriages from aristocratic families constantly delivering gifts to your home?"
The boxes were not opened, so he didn't know what was inside.
However, Zhao Ge smelled something unusual and immediately brought several trusted disciples from the martial arts school to take charge to prevent any accidents.
"Master, I have made a deal with the four great families. They are willing to support my practice from now on. These are just some of the things needed for my practice sent by the four great families. However, this matter is of great importance. Master, please forgive me for not being able to explain in detail." Li Yi said.
"This is a serious matter, so I can't ask too much." Zhao Ge had to suppress his doubts. Li Yi immediately said, "Master, don't worry. This is a good thing for us. With the help of the four great families, the development of Zhao's martial arts school will be worry-free in the future. Moreover, I asked the Fan family for this Sanyang City and the surrounding 200 miles of land. In the future, we can also become a wealthy family."
"The four great families would not support us without any reason. They must have a need." Zhao Ge said, "Are you sure about this, Meng De?"
"It may be difficult for others, but it is naturally easy for me." Li Yi said.
Zhao Ge smiled again and said, "That's good."
Seeing that Li Yi was so confident, he felt relieved. After all, it was a good thing for young people to have the desire to explore the world. The Zhao family martial arts school was indeed too small. If they could really create a wealthy family, it would be a great thing.
Then Li Yi opened the box again to see what was inside.
The first few boxes were filled with books. Each of these books was not simple, representing the martial arts heritage of the four major families. They not only contained methods of practice and secrets that were not passed on, but also various martial arts skills.
"The four great families even gave you these inheritances?" Zhao Ge was shocked after just a few casual glances, because he saw the method of practicing Gang.
"Knowledge is both priceless and cheap. The four great families didn't spend much money to pass on their martial arts to me. It's just a copy." Li Yi said, "Master, take a look and see if there is anything you need. You can practice with it. The other methods of training the skin and bones can also be sorted out for use by the Zhao family martial arts school to recruit disciples and teach martial arts."
"It is something that many warriors desire but cannot obtain." Zhao Ge was stroking the secret books at this moment, with a hint of bitterness on his face.
Thinking back to the past, he had no idea how much he had suffered in order to practice the method of cultivating the Qi. Now, there are at least a dozen books on how to do it. As for methods of strengthening the muscles and bones, and nourishing the Qi and blood, there are piles of them, and they are so cheap that they seem to be free.
No wonder all the heroes in the world come from noble families.
With so many martial arts traditions, how could an ordinary martial artist ever have a chance to succeed?
"Zhou Tian Gang Qi, Bai Lian Gang Qi, Xiantian Quan Gang, Shifang Gang Qi." Li Yi quickly found the four books he needed.
The four great families’ methods of practicing qigong.
This is what he urgently wants.
Then Li Yi opened the boxes one by one and started searching. These boxes contained not only various rare treasures, but also various medicinal pills. Each box represented a huge fortune, which was revealed at this moment, making Zhao Qian, Rong Niang, and Shou Hou's eyes widen.
They had seen precious pills, but they had never seen boxes of them; they had seen rare treasures from land and earth, but they had never seen more than a dozen boxes of them.
Any item you pick out at random could be an opportunity that a warrior in the Blood Training Realm would struggle to find, but here they can be found everywhere, and they are not even particularly precious.
In Li Yi's opinion, the most precious things sent by the four great families this time should be the four boxes of longevity pills. Each box represents a lifespan of one thousand years. A true lifespan of four thousand years is something unimaginable in the eyes of his master Zhao Ge and others, because ordinary warriors will never be able to come into contact with such a thing in their entire lives.
"Resurrection Pill."
After searching for a while, Li Yi finally found a box of resurrection pills in an inconspicuous corner.
This is a medicine for healing injuries to the soul, but it can also increase the strength of the soul and help Li Yi improve his cultivation value.
In the past, Master Zhao Ge had to go to the Ghost Street to buy coffin mushrooms to make the pills. Here, they can only be stuffed into a corner, and may even be missed if you don’t look for them carefully.
"Wait." Li Yi suddenly thought of something.
If the Resurrection Pill is not very eye-catching here, then it means that the four major families have better pills that can increase the strength of the soul.
He searched again for a moment.
Soon, a precious pill called the Nine-Turn Soul Pill was found in a special box.
This is a great medicine prepared for the strong men in the Lian Gang realm to break through to the Lian Shen realm. It is extremely precious.
Even though the four great families funded Li Yi this time, they only funded four.
"It seems that each of the four major families is only willing to take out one, which shows that this thing is indeed rare." Li Yi couldn't help but guess as he looked at the purple Nine Revolutions Soul Pill.
Thinking of this, he took some things and went to the back of the yard impatiently.
"Master, I'm going to practice now. I'll trouble you here."
Everyone was still amazed at the treasures, but they didn't expect that Li Yi had already left.
"It seems that Meng De has found an opportunity to break through." Zhao Ge thought to himself, but he remained calm and said: "You guys take the gift list and transport the things to the underground secret room one by one and put them away in categories. From today on, you will stay in Meng De's mansion. This huge mansion needs to be watched by our family to prevent the news from leaking out and causing trouble."
Several people nodded quickly and stopped others from taking action. They moved these priceless treasures away one by one.
"and many more."
Suddenly, Zhao Ge called out to the thin monkey, then opened the box and took out a book on how to practice Gang. He coughed twice and said embarrassedly, "Master, take a look first and then return it to Meng De later."
