Chapter 302

Yan Li's biggest secret was suddenly revealed without any warning. His heart was immediately filled with murderous intent, and his hands almost moved, because he knew that there was only one chance to silence him. If he waited any longer, it would be too late.

He didn't want to know why Pei Qianlai knew his identity. He didn't want to know what kind of kindness Pei Qianlai received in the past, or if it was a plot by someone who wanted to deal with him.

Pei Qianlai was undoubtedly a standard small fry. He climbed up from the grass roots. Even earthworms and ants were considered delicacies in his stomach. Therefore, he had a very keen intuition.

If it was in the past, he would definitely hide in the crowd. However, he didn't do so. He only looked at Yan Li with a smile. There was no resentment in his eyes, only a kind of relief.

A selfish person who loved money as much as his life suddenly looked at you with such eyes. Aren't you curious?

Yan Li was really curious. In the end, his heart softened. He frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

Pei Qianlai said, "I am Cui 'er's useless father."

The murderous intent quietly faded. Yan Li stood up and asked, "Who are you father and daughter?"

Pei Qianlai smiled bitterly. "This lowly one isn't anyone. You probably don't even remember this lowly one. Moreover, so much time has passed. There is no need to mention the past. In the future, if the Young General has any orders, this lowly one will go through water and tread on fire without hesitation."

Yan Li coldly said, "You really are father and daughter. Both of you despise yourselves. Is there something shameful about this?"

Pei Qianlai's bitter smile deepened. "The kindness you bestowed on us is naturally insignificant to you. However, it is as heavy as a mountain to us. Cui 'er doesn't want to mention it because she is shy."

"What kind of kindness did I do for you? Is it worth your life?" Yan Li couldn't help but ask.

Pei Qianlai said, "When Cui 'er was about to starve to death, you gave her a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun. When I was about to die of illness, you invited a doctor for me."

Yan Li didn't want to listen anymore. He didn't want to know what kind of stupid good deeds he had done in the past. This would soften his heart. He couldn't be soft-hearted now. However, he didn't realize that he had already been soft-hearted many times.

The annihilation of the Limestone tribe was of course a great victory for the West Mountain Camp. They would never forget who brought this victory to them. Therefore, at this moment, they supported Yan Li as if they were supporting an emperor.

It could be said that they were willing to do anything that Yan Li wanted them to do, except for death. Therefore, they worked extra hard when it came to repairing the camp and training through the night.

He had only killed a few hundred Desolate Men. It was not the time to celebrate. Yan Li's target was the Blackstone tribe, which was more powerful than the Limestone tribe. That was the real achievement.

Although it was late, the West Mountain Camp was still very lively.

Yan Li was sitting quietly in his own tent. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and there was a hint of joy on his face. Li Ya's advancement preparations were about to be completed.

These days, he directly stopped tempering his Yuan Qi and put all his energy into refining the Shadowless Starthread. Sure enough, his progress was much faster.

Being in the Yuan Province battlefield, the more they could strengthen themselves, the more they would have a chance of surviving.

In the depths of the Source Sea, the last of the Shadowless Star Silk was being integrated into the mold made by the Li Ya.

It looked so bright and shiny, like a crystal. It was flowing with divine light. Its shape was of course the Li Ya, but because its light covered its shape, it looked like a crystal in the shape of a sword. It was clear and exceptionally cold.

In fact, this mold did have a name. It was called "Treasure Weapon Crystal".

As the last of the Shadowless Star Silk was integrated, the last step was to integrate it into the soul stone.

This was the most crucial step. Success or failure depended on whether the Treasure Weapon Crystal could accommodate the soul stone. If it couldn't, then the Treasure Weapon Crystal and the soul stone would disappear together. This meant that not only would the advancement fail, but they would also lose a large amount of treasures that could make one go bankrupt.

This was not a small amount.

It should be known that not any random treasure could integrate with the soul stone. In theory, the higher the grade of the treasure, the better the spirituality, and the higher the degree of integration.

The Shadowless Star Silk was undoubtedly a very high grade treasure. But a treasure made purely from the Shadowless Star Silk was probably unprecedented. Therefore, there was no prior experience. As for what the result would be, it was still unknown.

Yan Li had two soul stones. He first took one and watched it slowly sink to the bottom of the sea. He was both excited and nervous. He was looking forward to Li Ya, who had advanced to the Martial Rank, to bring him more surprises. Nervousness was also a type of fear. He was afraid of failure because failure meant he would lose everything. It would be a huge blow.

If Li Ya could not advance, he would have to change to a Treasure Weapon. He could not bear to do so. After all, there were not many suitable swords. It would be a waste of time to refine it himself. A suitable treasure was even harder to find. Most importantly, there was not a Treasure Weapon like Li Ya. It could perfectly accommodate external forces and allow him to fully unleash the power of the Hidden Sword Tactics.

The soul stone sank to the bottom of the sea. The moment it touched the crystal, it melted. Like oil being melted by heat, the dark red energy liquid mixed into the crystal.

That mesmerizing crimson seemed to have a breath of life, as if it had a mind of its own. It swam about on its own, from head to tail, and from tail to head, outlining a mysterious rune.

Yan Li already understood. That was the black rune carved on the soul stone. That rune was filled with astonishing attraction. When you looked at the soul stone, you would have the illusion of being dragged into an abyss. But that illusion, was incomparably mesmerizing.

Therefore, some people called the soul stone the Devil's Stone. It contained the temptation of the devil. As long as you fell into it, you would become its slave.

But at this moment, before the rune was completed, it suddenly stopped.

Yan Li's heart sank uncontrollably.

Reality might be cruel. He had already expected failure, but he did not think he would really fail.

His emotions could not calm down. He could not bear to see the scene of the crystal and the soul stone disintegrating together.

But after a long time, the crystal was still intact. His heart moved and he threw the remaining soul stone into the crystal.

A miracle happened. As if new energy was injected, the rune was completely outlined. A brand new, mesmerizing Treasure Weapon was born.

Yan Li suppressed his emotions and calmly tossed the last item into the pot.

The last item was of course Li Ya himself.
