"Since you can pay the bill, then this will do. Well, consider it an advance payment. Keep it safe for yourself."
As Yi Shuihan casually uttered these words, he felt his divine status steadily improving; this was the kind of demeanor he was aiming for.
Feeling the touch of the King Beast Core, Honglian's face turned bright red, and the others' eyes were instantly focused on her, but they quickly looked away. The main reason was that Honglian was a genuine powerhouse, and if she were to be remembered, they would definitely be in trouble. It would be foolish to provoke a powerful person they couldn't afford to offend for a moment's pleasure.
"Hmph, you scoundrel!"
Aya muttered to herself, but everyone present could hear her because it was so quiet!
Yi Shuihan, who was putting on an air of superiority, was instantly embarrassed, but luckily he had a thick skin, so he didn't make a fool of himself.
Holding the King Beast Core in her hand, Honglian took a deep breath and then handed it to Yi Shuihan again.
Facing Yi Shuihan's somewhat questioning gaze, Honglian said with a wry smile.
Even if you give it to me, I can't keep it!
With so many people around, even if she wanted to kill someone to silence them, she couldn't. It's estimated that soon the people with ulterior motives will find out what happened here, and then, facing pressure from the entire settlement, Honglian will have no choice but to hand over the King Beast Core.
The King Beast Core is ultimately incomparable to Blue Crystal; it's far too precious. Whoever obtains it now might become the strongest in the settlement, someone with overwhelming power over others. This would definitely disrupt the balance, something most forces don't want to see.
Scheming and intrigue are human instincts, and even now they cannot be eradicated, although they may become somewhat milder due to the presence of monsters.
Honglian's words made Yi Shuihan understand her concerns, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. She was a rare girl who wasn't the type with big breasts and no brains.
However, since Yi Shuihan had already given it away, there was no reason to take it back. He immediately said...
"I said I'd give it to you, so it's yours. If anyone tries to get their hands on it, just mention my name. Remember my name, Yi Shuihan."
"My lord, are you really Yi Shuihan?"
Suddenly, Honglian's expression became extremely excited, even more so than when she saw the King Beast Core before.
"What? Do you know me?"
At this moment, Yi Shuihan had a vague idea of what was going on.
"Do you know this gentleman?"
Honglian took out a photo from her person and pointed to it, asking a question.
"Xiao Jie?"
The figure above is Xiao Jie, the first fighter of Yi Shui Han.
"That's right, it's Lord Xiao Jie! You really are Lord Yi Shuihan!"
Honglian became increasingly excited; at this moment, she was even more thrilled than if she had won the lottery.
Finding Lord Yi Shuihan is a mission from the Five Elders Peak. As long as I report this information, I can gain the approval of the officials at the Five Elders Peak and make a request.
"If I were to ask Lord Xiao Jie to take me as his disciple, I wonder if that would be possible?"
The thought of seeing Lord Xiao Jie easily shatter a thousand-meter-high mountain with a single punch filled Honglian with fervor.
If I had that kind of power, there wouldn't be anywhere on this drastically changed Earth that I couldn't go?
"Looks like I don't need you anymore."
Upon seeing Xiao Jie's photo, Yi Shuihan naturally guessed that Xiao Jie and his group had instructed someone to look for him.
Qian Tong's mind was in a mess at this moment, and he didn't know what to say at all. He was really frightened by Yi Shuihan. He knew Honglian's identity. How powerful must Yi Shuihan be to make Honglian behave like this?
"Here's what you get: these 40 blue crystals as compensation for your free trip."
The fact that 40 blue crystals were given away so readily made everyone else present extremely envious, wishing they could switch places with Qian Tong.
"Huh? I...I..."
Qian Tong was dumbfounded. He couldn't even speak properly when he saw the blue crystal placed in front of him. He wanted to refuse, but no matter what he did, he couldn't bring himself to say no. He couldn't bear to part with it!
Chapter 814, The Jade Disc of Creation
If Qian Tong hadn't left a good impression on Yi Shuihan before, he wouldn't be waiting for 40 blue crystals now, but would be completely ignored.
Yi Shuihan wasn't surprised to see Xiao Jie's photo. After the great changes on Earth, electrical appliances hadn't lost their function; cameras and mobile phones were still useful. Of course, mobile phones could only make calls if they had a signal, and given the great changes on Earth, not many mobile phones could still communicate.
Did Xiao Jie tell you how to contact them?
Yi Shuihan asked.
“No,” Honglian shook her head, then said, “The adults come to the gathering place every now and then, and tomorrow is the day that Lord Xiaojie will be coming.”
"Should we wait another day, or just go directly to find Xiao Jie and the others?"
Yi Shuihan pondered,
As far as Yi Shuihan is concerned, there is not much difference between the two. He believes that if he wants to go, he should be able to find Xiao Jie and the others very quickly.
If he were alone, Yi Shuihan would naturally choose to go find it himself, right now!
Looking at Maya and Aya, who seemed a little lazy and even drowsy after eating so comfortably.
"Then let's just wait here for a day, anyway, it will take some time to prepare 100 servings of food."
"My house is quite big. If the adults don't mind, you can come and stay at my house for the night."
Honglian blushed slightly as she spoke. She had always been chaste and had never invited any other man to her home, neither before nor after the great upheaval. This time, she felt a little shy about inviting Yi Shuihan in order to please him.
"That's it."
Yi Shuihan didn't think much of it. Seeing that both Maya and Aya were somewhat tempted, he readily agreed.
Leaving the restaurant, about a few hundred meters away is Honglian's house, a villa from before the great change. It looks somewhat dilapidated, but the facilities inside are well preserved. According to Honglian, the original owner of this place died in the mouth of a monster.
There are six rooms in the villa, but only Honglian lives there. It's incredibly luxurious, considering that many other people live in tents outside.
With strength, you can go anywhere in the world without fear! This is not unfair, on the contrary, it is very fair. It is something that Honglian earned through her own hard work. Her strength speaks for itself. Fighting monsters is inevitable. Although absorbing crystals can increase energy, it does not have much effect on breaking through bottlenecks. Fighting is the best way to improve strength.
Each person was assigned a room. Maya and Aya chatted with Guren, while Yi Shuihan simply returned to his own room.
Sleeping? That's impossible. In the room, Yi Shuihan held half a jade disc in his hand and began to study it.
"Holy Spirit, do you know what this is?"
"I don't know! Please investigate on your own. I recommend purchasing the Gold Identification Technique."
How many points is the gold identification technique worth?
"100."
"..."
Ignoring the system's cutesy act, Yi Shuihan used his most common method: directly invading it with his mind.
Contrary to expectations, it was surprisingly easy. The moment Yi Shuihan's spirit made contact with the jade disc, a large stream of information flowed directly into Yi Shuihan's mind.
A few minutes later, Yi Shuihan pressed his head, which was feeling a bit throbbing, and his face was full of joy.
The information flow wasn't fully organized yet, but even the most basic information made Yi Shuihan feel like he'd won a super prize.
"The Jade Disc of Creation, it's actually this thing! If this is the one I'm thinking of, I've really struck it rich! What a great opportunity! Hongjun became a Dao Ancestor because of the Jade Disc of Creation. I also have a Jade Disc of Creation, although it may not be as complete as the one Hongjun has. It will be very easy for me to cultivate to the level of a Saint."
The Jade Disc of Creation records the Three Thousand Great Daos. Having it is like having a cheat code for comprehending the Great Daos. Even the most foolish person can easily comprehend the Great Daos, and its help in improving one's realm is incredible.
Such treasures are extremely rare even in the vast world; they can be considered priceless treasures.
At this moment, Yi Shuihan felt some sympathy for the owner who had heard the roar earlier. To miss such a treasure was bound to be incredibly frustrating.
"But if he succeeds, what will become of me? I can only silently say, if there are more good things like this in the future, please have more of them."
Having learned the true nature of the treasure, Yi Shuihan even considered hiding it away to cultivate for thousands or tens of thousands of years, and only coming out after becoming a saint. His main concern was that it would be stolen if he went out. The Jade Tablet of Creation was good, but he couldn't put it into his personal space, and carrying it on his person made him feel too unsafe.
"Is there any way for the Holy Spirit to conceal the existence of the Jade Disc of Creation?"
"Yes, the host can purchase a skill to conceal one's aura. There is a skill called Concealment. Although the name is ordinary, the effect is great. It is just right for the host to use. As long as this skill is used, even Hongjun will not recognize that this is the Creation Jade Butterfly."
How many cultivation points?
Having learned from his previous experience, Yi Shuihan appeared calm, even though he was already extremely satisfied with the cover-up.
"Cheap, 50."
Are there any other solutions?
"Have!"
"Really?"
Somewhat surprised, Yi Shuihan hadn't held out much hope.
"The inscription stores the Jade Disc of Creation in the system space. As long as the system is not discovered, the Jade Disc will not be exposed, but there is a slight side effect."
"Can you tell me all the side effects at once?"
"If the Jade Disc of Creation is left in the system for a long time, it will be slowly converted into the system's energy. For example, about every thousand years, there will be a Great Dao on the Jade Disc that cannot be comprehended."
The side effects are really significant. The half of the Creation Jade Disc in Yi Shuihan's hand contains the aura of 1569 Great Daos that can be comprehended. If it were placed in the system, the Creation Jade Disc would become completely useless in about 157 million years. It seems like a long time, but in reality, it is very short.
This is the Great Dao! No matter which path you choose, you can easily comprehend the realm of a Saint with the help of the Jade Butterfly of Creation. A Saint is not something that can be achieved simply by time; talent, luck, and perseverance are all indispensable. Countless people in the myriad realms are stuck at the gates of Sainthood, unable to get even a step closer. If they had a fragment of the Jade Butterfly of Creation, even if they could only comprehend one Great Dao, they would probably slaughter several worlds without hesitation.
In the end, Yi Shuihan still chose to store it in the system space. For him, the system was much more important than the Jade Tablet of Creation. Although converting it into system energy was a bit wasteful, it was not unacceptable. Besides, he had only been cultivating for a few years. He was confident enough to become a saint before the Jade Tablet of Creation was assimilated too much. At that time, he could openly take out the Jade Tablet to study it.
Chapter 815, What do you think?
After practicing with the jade disc for a whole night, the incredible speed of his progress made Yi Shuihan feel like he had become addicted to drugs.
Yi Shuihan's demeanor had changed somewhat, drawing the attention of Zhenye and the others.
"Sister, did he do 'that' in the room last night? I heard that he feels refreshed afterward."
Aya secretly asked her older sister.
"Yeah, I guess so."
Maya glanced at Yi Shuihan, and then surprisingly came to a similar answer to her sister.
"You two, don't whisper, I can hear you."
Her expression stiffened, and her good mood was ruined.
"Lord Yi, the items you requested have been prepared. Would you like to bring them over?"
"No need, I'll go there myself, it's not far anyway."
One hundred servings of the complete meal could fill a large room, and it was quite impressive when it was actually presented in front of you.
Honglian was wondering how Yi Shuihan would collect the money when she saw Yi Shuihan open a small box. With a wave of his hand, the box was empty.
"what!"
She screamed in surprise. It wasn't that Honglian was naive; it was just that everything that appeared before her was too fantastical.
Yi Shuihan looked over with some surprise, which made Honglian feel a little embarrassed. This was the first time she had ever lost her composure in front of a man.
"Lord Zhu, you cannot go in. The boss is entertaining important guests."
"Make way! Is there any guest in this gathering place more distinguished than me? I want to see who this so-called important guest is."
Please don't make things difficult for me.
"Get out of here!"
The door was rudely flung open, and a young man in a suit entered. He was quite handsome, but his eyes were filled with a sinister glint.
Behind the young man were two burly men who were clearly bodyguards.
This guy is definitely a second-generation rich kid!
"Zhu, what are you doing here again? Didn't I tell you there's no possibility between us?"
Honglian's face turned cold, and she said coldly to the young man.
So, what do you think?
Yi Shuihan casually replied with this sentence.
This phrase hadn't become popular in the world yet, so Zhu naturally didn't understand the reference. However, that didn't stop him from transferring his anger onto Yi Shuihan.
"Kid, who do you think you are? You dare to address me like that? Kneel down, kowtow three times, and apologize, or I'll break your legs."
Zhu was already furious about Honglian and Yi Shuihan being together. The moment he saw Honglian, he already considered her his forbidden child and couldn't stand seeing her with other men.
A flash of disgust crossed Honglian's eyes, but she remained silent. At this moment, she desperately wanted Yi Shuihan to teach Zhu a lesson.
"Countless people have wanted me to call him, but I haven't. And you're complaining? You're really ungrateful. I don't know how to kneel and kowtow, but I can apologize."
Honglian felt strange when she heard Yi Shuihan apologize, but Yi Shuihan's next words made her laugh.
