Chapter 165 We Can't Live Without You

Thirteen times...

Ling Yi flipped through the skill book. The skills at the beginning included cultivation techniques and skills similar to mantra spells, which Ling Yi couldn't use for the time being, so he flipped to the next page.

When Ling Yi turned to the fifth page from the bottom, the first skill he saw was Purification.

Upon seeing this skill, Ling Yi thought of Ye Qingshuang.

"Tianyan, is this the kind of power Ye Qingshuang used to deal with that black mist?" Ling Yi asked.

Tianyan responded: "Yes."

"It can purify the black mist and destroy it..." Ling Yi chuckled, glancing at the other skills: "She has them, so I don't need to unseal them."

Tianyan: [She cannot be unsealed without you.]

"I know." Ling Yi knew Tianyan quite well. Judging from the fact that the price of purchasing clues from different places would increase, the skills in this book would require more unlocking times as they progressed.

"Let me see, so I can accumulate enough attempts." Ling Yi said, turning the page again and seeing the words "physical strength". Looking down, he saw that it would take one hundred attempts to unlock one percent of the strength.

Upon seeing this, Ling slammed the skill book shut, pretending she hadn't seen anything.

Tianyan chuckled: [Why did you stop watching?]

Ling Yi said, "I won't look anymore. There's no need to lift the lockdown for now."

"That won't do," Tian Yan said. "Didn't you always want to unlock the power of your body?"

[You are currently a Level 6 Spirit Master. Once you reach the Spirit Venerable level, you can unseal another 0.5%. Unsealing 1% requires 100 attempts, while unsealing 0.5% only requires 50 attempts. Remember to save up your attempts.]

Ling Yi was speechless: "If I didn't see it, would you unseal me when I reach the Spirit Lord level?"

[Yes.] Tian Yandao said, [However, skill points are required; you won't get it for free.]

Ling Yi didn't want to talk anymore.

She is currently a Level 6 Spirit Master, four levels away from becoming a Spirit Venerable. If she focuses on cultivation, she will reach that level soon. She has thirteen unsealing attempts left, and she still needs to kill 370 more people.

"Annoying." Ling Yi tossed the skill book aside, and it immediately vanished in a flash of light. Ling Yi stood up and left the space, saying to Tian Yan, "Remember, this is the thirteenth time already."

"Mm." Tianyan replied, "Don't worry, I'll remember it."

Ling Yi said no more, cut off the contact, and went to take a shower.

...

The next day.

While the three were waiting for their meal in the lobby, Ye Qingshuang looked at Ling Yi and said, "Lin Chengtian contacted me this morning."

Ling Yi had been busy killing people a few days ago, and then spent his travels cultivating, so he rarely contacted them. Only when Ye Qingshuang mentioned it did he ask, "What did you say?"

Ye Qingshuang said, "They asked us when we were going to Tianxing Imperial Capital, and they said something had happened there."

Ling Yi was curious about what had happened and asked, "What happened?"

"Starting two months ago, students from Tianxing Imperial Academy began to disappear one after another. At first, it was just one or two people disappearing, but recently the number of missing persons has been increasing. The academy did not want to cause panic, so it originally suppressed the news, thinking that it would be fine if the missing persons were found privately. However, the number of missing persons has been increasing recently, and it is no longer possible to suppress it. So the academy simply announced it. Once the announcement was made, it was discovered that in just two months, the number of missing persons has exceeded one hundred."

"All the missing students disappeared within the academy. The dean initially sent people to search the academy, but to no avail. Later, the royal family sent elders and soldiers to search the academy, looking everywhere, but still found nothing. In desperation, the dean gave the students a three-day break and allowed the elders and soldiers to enter the academy. However, nothing was found during those three days, and the students returned to class. But just yesterday, students from one of the academies, along with their teachers, disappeared. After the incident, all the students were given a break, leaving only the dean, the academy elders, and the experts sent by the royal family to search the academy. Until this morning, he contacted us, but still found nothing."

After listening to Ye Qingshuang's words, Ling Yi pondered for a moment: "The entire academy of students has requirements regarding cultivation level."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingshuang's eyes lit up, and she prepared to contact Lin Chengtian: "I'll ask if there's any difference in cultivation levels between the students who disappeared first and those who disappeared later?"

Ling Yi looked at her and said, "When you ask this, you should also ask Lin Chengtian if he arrived in Tianxing Capital two months ago."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingshuang asked in confusion, "Why do you ask that?"

Ling Yi: "There's a guess I need to confirm. You can ask first."

Ye Qingshuang didn't say anything more and went back to her room upstairs to contact Lin Chengtian.

When Ye Qingshuang came down again, the food was ready. Ye Qingshuang sat down and said, "Lin Chengtian said that according to the information on missing persons released by the academy, the students who went missing at the beginning were only at the Spirit General stage, the students who went missing in the middle reached the Spirit Sect stage, and the students who went missing yesterday were all at the Spirit Venerable stage, and the teacher was even at the Spirit Saint stage."

After listening, Ling Yi slowly said, "From low to high, it means that the other party's needs are getting bigger and bigger."

After finishing speaking, Ling Yi asked, "What about the other thing?"

Ye Qingshuang said, "Lin Chengtian and the others did indeed arrive in the capital two months ago."

Logically, with Little Golden Tiger by their side, they should have arrived long ago. However, Lin Chengtian and Lin Xinze were not in a hurry to travel, and they were also inquiring about strange things, which delayed their arrival in the capital.

"I understand." Ling Yi said and started eating: "Eat, and then we'll head to the capital. We'll be heading to the capital from here. Have Little Golden Tiger come and pick us up."

Ye Qingshuang had questions in her mind, but seeing that Ling Yi didn't seem inclined to answer, she didn't ask any further.

Ling Yi pondered as he ate.

Lin Chengtian arrived in the capital two months ago. Two months ago, things started happening in the capital. Tianyan said that things in the Heavenly Mandate, as long as they are not in the human body, will sense a summoning. The Mountain and River Mirror also said that there are two summoning forces.

When Lin Chengtian arrived in the capital, troubles began to occur there, which indicates that the fragments of the Spirit Pearl sensed 'her' within Lin Chengtian's body.

The fragments of the Zhaoyue Empire lack the spirit of the Spirit-Nourishing Pearl, but will the fragments of the Tianxing Empire possess it?

If the fragments of the Celestial Star Empire possess a spirit, then things become complicated.

Of the four pieces of the Mountain and River Mirror, the one containing the Mirror Spirit is the most troublesome; the others are alright. Judging from the contents of the fragment containing the Moon Reflection Empire, the contents of the fragment containing the Spirit-Nourishing Pearl will only be more troublesome.

Thinking of this, Ling Yi looked at Ye Qing Shuang.

Ye Qingshuang was eating when she noticed Ling Yi looking over. She quickly swallowed what was in her mouth and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ling smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just wanted to tell you to eat more."

Ye Qingshuang: "?"

Ling Yi said, "Qing Shuang, we can't live without you."

Ye Qingshuang: "???"

Ye Qingshuang smiled shyly: "Why are you saying such things out of the blue? It's so embarrassing."

Ling Yi smiled even more gently than her: "It's true."

She needs to save her unsealing attempts for strengthening her body. Without more unsealing and purification attempts, if she encounters that kind of thing again, she can only rely on Qing Shuang.
