Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 263 - 119: Soul Iron Grows Flesh, Blood Crystal Creatures Awaken, Return of the Golden Cicada’s Shell
Li Yuan put his hand down and said, "Make sure you rest well. Don’t let the puppet not be finished while your body collapses. At that time... I’ll try to take you with me."
Tang Nian nodded, watching as her foster father left.
Outside the door, starlight filled the sky, and she reclined backward, the late spring breeze blowing in through the window, from outside the door...
She lifted her hand, lightly touching the faceless puppet behind her with her fingertips.
Tang Nian called softly, "Dad..."
Then, almost like an oath, she said, "I will not let the tragedy that happened to the Tang Family happen here again..."
No one responded.
No one... listened...
And no one saw the two lines of tears flow down the cheeks of the girl in white.
...
...
Li Yuan returned to his room, letting the maids serve him. He lay with his hands under his head, thinking about those matters in Jiangbei and some new things he heard from his goddaughter today.
Martial Artist, cultivate blood, then use the Life Atlas and the Visualization Image to mobilize and forge the blood.
Isn’t a puppet also like this?
But the difference is, the puppet’s blood is provided by a "heart," and the way to mobilize the blood is the meridians sculpted by the Puppet Master.
This world is too magical, and the water runs too deep.
Have I been living in Beijiang Prefecture for too long?
Trees move and die, people move and thrive.
Li Yuan’s eyes revealed a look of contemplation...
The long night was endless...
...
...
The next morning.
Li Yuan returned to the small pavilion in the mountain.
After a while, the mountain path became a bit lively.
A strikingly handsome young man in purple led the way ahead, followed by a husband and wife duo.
The beautiful woman seemed to be somewhat ill, coughing as she walked, while the man appeared full of worry.
Li Yuan recognized that the youth was Yuan Zongzi from the Holy Fire Palace, whose strength slightly surpassed Yan Mu but was not much different.
The couple he brought was surprisingly both Sixth Grade.
The man’s side showed "622~654," while the woman’s side showed "510(600)~526(620)."
After taking the couple up the mountain, Yuan Zongzi smiled and said, "You two tributors can rest here. If there’s a mission, a disciple will come to inform you..."
The man asked, "Mr. Yuan, is the Blood Gold settled daily?"
Yuan Zongzi replied, "Han Honored Guest, the Blood Gold is settled immediately after each day’s mission."
The man said, "That’s great..."
At this moment, the three also noticed Li Yuan, who was strolling outside the small pavilion.
Yuan Zongzi’s expression changed, and from a distance, he saluted and called out, "Mr. Mu Er, you look well."
The couple saw Yuan Zongzi actually saluting the man, and both looked at him, feeling curious: What virtue or ability does this Mr. Mu Er have to make an envoy from the Holy Fire Palace salute him from afar? Isn’t just saying hello enough?
Seeing Yuan Zongzi salute like this, Li Yuan was not pleased but instead was suddenly shocked inside.
As expected...
He had undertaken missions thirteen times without injury; although every time his method was extremely rough, with no method to the madness, appearing like a brute who understands nothing, he eventually solved the problems each time.
After all, if he didn’t deal with those corpses, the common people would continue to die.
If he could tidy it up conveniently, he would.
And these achievements were enough to earn respect.
Li Yuan secretly sighed in his heart.
Why won’t these people think things like "What about Mr. Mu Er? It’s just luck, and next time it won’t be so fortunate," "Treasure, this Mu Er must have hidden some treasure; what skills can a mere Wild Honored Guest have," "I don’t accept this, what is this Mu Er"?
He silently pondered, remained vigilant, yet he hurriedly returned the salute, and weakly coughed a few times.
Yuan Zongzi didn’t pay him any mind. After bringing the Sixth Grade couple over, he saluted again and left.
Li Yuan looked at the Sixth Grade couple and took the initiative to greet them, "Mu Er."
The man replied, "Han Feng."
The beautiful woman said, "Leng Rou."
Li Yuan praised, "You two are a talented and beautiful couple, even your names match well."
With this, Han Feng felt that this Mu Er didn’t seem like someone difficult to get along with. With the intention of learning more about the situation in Beijiang Prefecture, the two started talking.
While Li Yuan was cautious by nature, he also had a hearty side. Luckily, Han Feng was the same type of person.
After three or four days of interaction, the two had completely opened up with each other.
Han Feng learned about mission situations from Li Yuan and the methods of dealing with local corpses.
Of course, Li Yuan didn’t directly state the methods, but discussed them through the incidents that happened to other disciples, saying things like how they encountered this or that. Among these were naturally mentions of things like "Little Sugarman," "Door-Closing Kill," and "Hair Kill."
Afterward, on a mission, Han Feng successfully used the information given by Li Yuan to avoid certain death, growing even fonder of this neighbor.
On the other side, Li Yuan also learned about the everyday life and the world of the Sixth Grade Martial Artists from Han Feng.
After understanding, he could only sigh: There is pressure at every Realm...
Sixth Grades from big powers still have some hope, but for those like him who are scattered outside, it’s tragic.
The reason they could break through was mostly due to exceptional Talent and good Sect inheritance.
But... wanting to break through to the Fifth Grade is really as hard as reaching the sky.
Because... they cannot see the road ahead.
All they can do is enhance their strength, seek opportunities everywhere, open a Sect, or pass on their Cultivation Skill to disciples so that after they die, they are not ashamed to face their ancestors.
Don’t look at Han Feng and Leng Rou as just a Sixth Grade couple; but in the Cloud Mountain Path, they are the Ancestors of a local gang alliance...
However, even a gang alliance can’t obtain Blood Gold.
The couple had continuously been searching for opportunities in the Cloud Mountain Path, but after decades they found nothing, and as they approached a hundred years of age, they decided to try outside in hopes of finding a chance to break through to the Fifth Grade.
