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 to deal with him.
Pei Qianlai was undoubtedly a standard small fry. He climbed up from the roots of the grass. Even earthworms and ants were considered delicacies in his stomach. Therefore, he had a very keen intuition.
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 like this. 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 smile became even more bitter. "The kindness you bestowed is naturally insignificant to you. However, to us, it is as heavy as a mountain. 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.
Annihilating 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, 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, other than die. Therefore, they put in a lot of effort 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 yet. Yan Li's target was the Blackstone tribe, which was more powerful than the Limestone tribe. That was the real achievement.
It was already late at night, but the West Mountain Camp was still bustling with activity.
Yan Li was sitting quietly in his tent. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and there was a hint of joy on his face. The preparations for Li Ya's advancement 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, it sped up his progress by a lot.
Being in the Yuan Province battlefield, the more they could strengthen themselves, the more they would have a chance of survival.
In the depths of the Source Sea, the mold engraved by Li Ya was integrating the last bit of the Shadowless Starthread.
It looked so dazzling, like a crystal, flowing with a clear divine light. Its shape was of course Li Ya, but because its own 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 bit of the Shadowless Starthread was completely integrated, there was only one step left, which was to integrate it into the Spirit Stone.
This was the most crucial step. Success or failure depended on whether the Treasure Weapon Crystal could accommodate the Spirit Stone. If it could not, then the Treasure Weapon Crystal and the Spirit Stone would both collapse and disappear. 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 Spirit Stone. Theoretically speaking, the higher the grade of the treasure, the better the spirituality, and the higher the degree of integration.
Without a doubt, the Shadowless Starthread was a very high grade treasure. However, a treasure refined purely from the Shadowless Starthread was probably unprecedented. Therefore, there was no prior experience. As for what the result would be, it was still unknown.
Yan Li had two Spirit Stones. He first took one and watched it slowly sink to the bottom of the sea. His heart was filled with anticipation and nervousness. He anticipated Li Ya, who had advanced to the Martial Rank, to bring him even more surprises. Nervousness was also a type of fear. Fear of failure, because failure was equivalent to losing everything, and it would be a huge blow.
If Li Ya could not advance, he would have to change to a Treasure Weapon. He really could not bear to do so. After all, there were not many suitable swords, and refining them himself was a waste of time. A suitable treasure was even harder to find. Most importantly, there was not a Treasure Weapon like Li Ya that could perfectly accommodate external forces, allowing him to fully unleash the power of the Hidden Sword Tactics.
The Spirit 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 clear crystal.
That mesmerizing dark red color, as if it had breath and spirituality, swam on its own. From head to tail, and from tail to head, it outlined a mysterious rune.
Yan Li had already understood. That was the black rune carved on the Spirit Stone. That rune was filled with astonishing attraction. When you looked at the Spirit Stone, you would have the illusion of being dragged into an abyss. However, that illusion, was incomparably mesmerizing.
Therefore, some people called the Spirit Stone a 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.
Perhaps reality was cruel. He had already expected failure, but he did not expect that he would really fail.
His heart could not calm down. He could not bear to see the scene of the crystal and the Spirit Stone disintegrating together.
But after a long time, the crystal was still intact. His heart moved, and he threw in the remaining Spirit Stone.
A miracle happened. As if new energy was injected, the rune was completely outlined. A brand new, mesmerizing Treasure Weapon was born.
Yan Li controlled his emotions and calmly threw in the last item.
The last item was of course Li Ya himself.
