C36 Gou's house

After leaving the Iron Refiner's residence, Li Ming did not immediately return to his own Cultivator's Inn. Instead, he went to this cultivator's exchange and bought ingredients to refine the Small Revitalizing Pellet.

Actually, when Li Ming had just returned from the swamp, he had already planned to buy more medicinal ingredients to refine the Small Revitalizing Pellet. After all, it was better to prepare more of this kind of consumable healing medicine. But because he needed to refine armor, Li Ming was worried that he would not have enough Spirit Stones, thus, he did not purchase the medicinal ingredients to refine the Small Revitalizing Pellet. Instead, he planned to wait until he was done refining the armor to see if he had any Spirit Stones remaining.

Right now, because the refiner of armor who had the surname of Tie did not receive any Spirit Stones as compensation, Li Ming had a lot of money with him, so Li Ming decided to buy the medicinal ingredients to concoct the Small Revitalizing Pellet first.

In a short period of time, Li Ming had bought all the ingredients needed to refine the Small Revitalizing Pellet, and then returned to the Cultivator's Inn to refine the Small Revitalizing Pellet.

Time slowly passed by while Li Ming was refining the Small Revitalizing Pellet, in the blink of an eye, it was already late at night. At this time, Li Ming had also stopped refining the Small Revitalizing Pellet, because all the medicinal ingredients he had bought today to refine the Small Revitalizing Pellet had already been turned into a Small Revitalizing Pellet by Li Ming. Of these ingredients, Li Ming had refined a total of 42 Small Revitalizing Pellets.

"Fine Stone Sect, I have already made my preparations. I wonder if you have also made your preparations?" Looking at the pitch-black night outside the window, Li Ming muttered.

When Li Ming bought the medicinal ingredients, he realised that there were a lot of unfamiliar cultivators outside the Cultivator's Inn that he was staying in. Although these unfamiliar cultivators might want to stay here, the size of the Cultivator's Inn that Li Ming was living in was not that big. Therefore, if Li Ming was not mistaken, these unfamiliar cultivators were most likely from Fine Stone Sect.

In truth, Li Ming had guessed wrongly, although there were cultivators from the Fine Stone Sect among those unfamiliar cultivators, there were still some from the Gou's house that Li Ming did not know about.

After the patriarch of the Gou's house found out that Gou Di had been killed, he called upon his clan members to investigate the reason why Gou Di had been killed. However, because Gou Di had been killed in the swamp, the cultivators of the Gou's house had to put in a lot of effort to find out where Li Ming and Zhuge Yun were.

When the patriarch of the Gou's house found out about Li Ming and Zhuge Yun, Zhuge Yun had already left for another place. As a result, Li Ming became the only way for the patriarch of the Gou's house to find out about the clues left behind by the archaic artefact. However, it was very obvious that the people arranged by the Gou's house did not have any secret to hide their own bodies, and very simply exposed their whereabouts under Li Ming's Sensory Perception of a Fighter!

In the early morning, the Longevity Continent seemed to be in harmony and there was life everywhere. However, something discordant was happening outside the Cultivator Exchange, which was a second tier city. A dozen or so cultivators were surrounding a grey-clothed youth.

"Fellow dao, I do not know what is the meaning of this, and how I, Li Ming, have offended all of you, please inform me."

This gray clothed youth was Li Ming who just came out from the Sui City's Cultivation Exchange. This morning, Li Ming planned to leave the Sui City Exchange to resolve the problem, but when she arrived outside the Sui City Exchange's entrance, she was surrounded by a group of unknown cultivators.

Although Li Ming did not know who these people were, he was sure that they were not Fine Stone Sect cultivators. Most of them were Qi Cultivating Stage cultivators, with only one in the late stage of Foundation Establishment and two in the middle stage. If it was a cultivator from the Fine Stone Sect, he would not be so weak.

"Li Ming? Li Li, don't tell me that you don't even dare to admit your own name? " When the only late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator heard Li Ming call himself Li Ming, he shouted loudly.

"Li Li? No, Li Ming is my real name, Li Li is just an alias! But, who exactly are you people? "

"Li Li, it's normal that you don't know about us, but you should at least know about Gou Di, right?" At this moment, the late Foundation Establishment cultivator shouted in anger.

"Gou Di? Oh! I got it, you are people from the Gou's house, here to seek me for revenge. " Li Ming acted as if he had suddenly realized something.

This group of people were the cultivators of Gou's house. Today, the moment Li Ming walked out of the Cultivator's Inn, the Gou's house arranged for people to inform the patriarch of his whereabouts, and then Gou Yan brought some people here to wait for Li Ming. The late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator that spoke was the patriarch of the Gou's house, Gou Yan.

Because Gou Yan and the others were much more familiar with the way of the exchange compared to Li Ming, and because Li Ming had the intention of luring the cultivators of Fine Stone Sect out, he did not leave too quickly. This resulted in Li Ming arriving here later than them. In the end, the cultivators of the Fine Stone Sect had not come out yet, but instead came here first.

"That's right, one of my goals is indeed to take revenge for Gou Di, but that's not the main reason I came this time." Gou Yan looked at Li Ming and said solemnly.

"Oh? "Then, what is your purpose for coming here?" With this, Li Ming became confused, logically speaking, this group of Gou's house cultivators should be here to take revenge for Gou Di, but Gou Yan had said that he had a reason, and that caused Li Ming to become confused.

"I think you know Zhuge Yun?"

"Zhuge Yun?" Hearing Gou Yan say the name Zhuge Yun, Li Ming immediately understood. The archaic artefact fragment on Zhuge Yun's body was not only the people he killed, at the very least, the patriarch in front of him knew about it. After understanding this point, Li Ming immediately felt a sense of crisis. If there were too many people who knew of this, then, the only person who was related to Zhuge Yun, would be hunted down by the cultivators who knew of this news.

Thinking about the news that a Core Formation Cultivator possessed a archaic artefact, I'm afraid those old cultivators and monsters will not let go of this opportunity.

"Li Li, I think you know my goal now! Tell me where Zhuge Yun is, and I will leave you an intact corpse! " Gou Yan threatened while looking at Li Ming.

"I never thought that you would know about Zhuge Yun. Seems like you already know about the map fragment."

"That's right, I was the one who told Gou Di about the map fragment, and also the one who told him to go and kill Zhuge Yun's father, Zhuge Yu. But I didn't expect that trash to actually let Zhuge Yun go, and cause such a troublesome matter."

"Hehe, I don't think Zhuge Yun knows either. Her real enemy that killed her father is actually you! To think she even asked me to help her kill Gou Di, to avenge her father. You really hid your strength deep enough! " Li Ming also never thought that the mastermind behind killing Zhuge Yun's father, Zhuge Yu, was actually the Patriarch of Gou's house in front of him. He thought that Gou Di only found out about the news of Zhuge Yun and his daughter possessing the archaic artefact under some coincidental circumstances, but who knew that there would actually be such a scenario.

"Yes, I arranged all of this. Alright, Li Li, let's cut the crap. Otherwise, I will definitely make you wish you were dead! "

"Actually, I'm very curious as to why you are so confident in being able to kill me, or rather, catch me." Li Ming had always been curious, why would a mere late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator like Gou Yan be so confident in being able to control him.

"My confidence naturally comes from my confidence in my strength. Alright, Li Li, looks like you don't plan on telling me where Zhuge Yun is?"

"That's right!" I just want to see how powerful the Patriarch of Gou's house is. "

, you will pay the price for your arrogance! "All of you, come up together …" Seeing Li Ming, who was unwilling to tell him Zhuge Yun's trace, Gou Yan was obviously angry and ordered the cultivators that he brought with him.

Hearing their Patriarch's orders, these Gou's house Cultivators did not hesitate at all, taking their weapons and rushing towards Li Ming.

A group of low level cultivators charged towards me. I think that any cultivator would not be in a good mood in this situation. For example, the current Li Ming, he was not in a good mood. Being surrounded by a group of low levelled cultivators, no matter who it was, was not a glorious matter, but Li Ming had met with this kind of thing a few times.

Li Ming who was in a bad mood was furious. He only saw, lines of monoyang finger power from Li Ming's finger shot towards the group of low level cultivators.

How could these Qi Cultivating and Foundation Establishment stage cultivators be able to block Li Ming's finger force, which was equivalent to an early Core Formation stage cultivator? Those Foundation Cultivator with defensive weapons could hold on for a bit, but at that time, they could only hold on for a bit, and were immediately pierced by the monoyang finger that continued to shoot towards them from behind.

On the other hand, Qi Cultivators who did not even have any defensive weapons were met with a tragedy. They could only watch as Li Ming's finger force struck towards them, while he himself did not even have the slightest chance to resist. However, this sadness didn't last long and in an instant, it was sent by Li Ming to see the King of Hell.

"Gou Yan, now, it's your turn. I want to see, what method do you have that makes me wish I was dead?" After taking care of the troublesome low levelled cultivators, Li Ming looked at the group of late stage Foundation Establishment cultivators that surrounded him and said slowly.

"I never would have thought!" Li Li, you are actually a Core Formation Cultivator! Seeing that you killed all of these trash so easily, your cultivation is truly not simple! " Although all of the cultivators that he brought with him were killed by Li Ming, Gou Yan did not seem to be worried about his life, as if the cultivators that were killed were not his own family's cultivators!

"Oh? Gou Yan, I really did not expect you to speak so simply after seeing your own people being killed. In my opinion, the one who is truly not simple is you! " Honestly speaking, Li Ming was extremely shocked when he saw that his own clan members had been killed. After all, someone who could treat their own clansmen so simply was either scared silly, or had other tricks up their sleeves. Obviously, the current Gou Yan was not the former.

"Even if you didn't kill them, after hearing about Zhuge Yun, I would still kill them. After all, the allure of archaic artefact is too great, no one can guarantee that they wouldn't sell me out to anyone else."

"You're really cruel!" Killing his own people might seem easy, but if he really wanted to do such a thing, it would not be a simple matter. From the looks of it, Gou Yan could actually do such a thing.

"Cruel? In the Immortal Cultivation World, if one was not cruel, one would only be killed by others! Alright, Li Li, now is the time to show you my true strength. "

With that said, Li Ming noticed that Gou Yan's true energy undulations had instantly risen from the late stage of Foundation Establishment to the early stage of Core Formation. Furthermore, it was still continuing to increase, and only ended up at the peak of the early stage of Core Formation.

"Li Li, now, I believe you know why I am so confident in my own strength!"

"Incredible!" Gou Yan, I think, in this Sui City, the strongest power should not be the Hidden Dragon Gang, but your Gou's house! " Although Li Ming was shocked that his cultivation had increased from the late stage of Foundation Establishment to the peak of the early stage of Core Formation, like Gou Yan, Li Ming had confidence in his own strength. As a result, Li Ming did not feel that Gou Yan, who was at the peak of the early stage of Core Formation, could pose much of a threat to him.

"Alright, Li Li, let's cut to the chase! Take this! " Following that, Gou Yan took out three small knives and chopped at Li Ming.

Looking at the three daggers that Gou Yan had controlled to slash at him, Li Ming's expression gradually grew heavy. After all, ever since Li Ming came to this world, he had never fought with a human Core Formation Cultivator before.

Furthermore, the three small knives that Gou Yan controlled were not simple goods, they were a set of fourth grade weapons. The might of such a weapon could be comparable to a fifth-grade weapon.
