Li Gan walked among the noisy crowd and listened to the half-true and half-false news that came out of nowhere. This could be considered as a basic understanding of the situation in the Spirit Village.
After this period of solitary cultivation in Phoenix Ridge, Li Gan's understanding of 'spirit power' and 'divine abilities' had reached a whole new level. Li Gan naturally didn't want to miss such an important Spirit Forging Ceremony. Through Spirit Forging, one could stimulate the attributes of the spirit veins in one's body. Only through Spirit Forging could one understand one's unknown body.
However, judging from the news, Li Shuyi, Wu Yan, and the rest should be out of danger. Li Gan let out a sigh of relief. He hadn't expected that the little girl would be out of danger, enter Spirit Forging Village, and successfully complete her Spirit Forging.
However, today was the last day of the Spirit Forging Pool's opening. While he was excited, he was also anxious. He hadn't expected to spend three months cultivating in Phoenix Ridge.
"Kid, stop right there!" Two tall guards walked out from the city gates and blocked Li Gan's path.
"Big Brother, I want to go in!" Li Gan pointed at Spirit Forging Village.
"Where did this little brat come from? Do you know where this is?" The arrogant man looked at Li Gan with contempt.
"Second Brother Liu, what's the point of talking to a small fry like this? Just coax him away!" The other man cursed as he walked towards Li Gan. "This is a private place. You're not allowed to enter! Small fry, go play somewhere else! "
"What? What did you say? "Li Gan's face was ashen.
"I said you're not allowed to enter. Didn't you hear me?"
"What if I insist on going in?"
"No!"
"Second Brother Liu, please wait …" A rare smile appeared on the other man's face. "Little Brother, do you have an invitation token?"
"What invitation token?" Li Gan looked coldly at the two arrogant guards in front of him.
"You don't even know what an invitation token is? Little beggar! Scram! What Spirit Forging Village? If you dare to cause trouble again, don't blame me for being rude. " Second Brother Liu just glanced at Li Gan and finally suppressed the anger in his heart. The boy in front of him was wearing tattered clothes, his face was dirty, his hair was disheveled, and he was barefoot without shoes. He was even more sloppy than an ordinary beggar. How could he be the son of an aristocratic family? If it wasn't for the Jeju Union's order to protect the heroic image of the guards, Second Brother Liu would have kicked this kid away.
Not far away, in a straw hut, several rogue cultivators were drinking and chatting. When they saw Li Gan, they suddenly burst into laughter. Li Gan's current appearance was as embarrassing as it could be. A rather rough man roared like thunder, "Hey, brat, the Spirit Forging Village is not a place where low level God Cultivator like us can enter. Come and drink with us!"
"Are you calling me?"
"That's true. If you want to enter the Spirit Forging Village, it's not impossible. You'll have to wait until the Spirit Forging period is over. Give me thirty crystal coins and I'll bring you in!"
"Thirty crystal coins?"
"From the looks of it, you don't even have a single yuan, right?"
Li Gan frowned.
The currency of the Nine Heaven World was called yuan, crimson, crystal coins, and so on. One crystal coin was equal to one hundred crimson coins, and one crimson coin was equal to one hundred yuan.
"Are you trying to sneak into the Spirit Forging Pool?" A tall and skinny man at the edge of the straw hut coldly sized up Li Gan.
"En!"
"If you don't have money, I can only say that it's very difficult. If your talent is outstanding, you can join a family or an alliance. That way, you'll have the chance to obtain Spirit Forging!"
"Shut up, you bunch of useless rogue cultivators. Don't instigate children. Just drink your wine!" Second Brother Liu coldly glanced at the group of strangely dressed rogue cultivators. He turned his head and glanced at Li Gan again, "Brat, do you understand? Scram! "
"Brothers, I would like to say that I am the Second Young Master of the Li Gan Family in Ji Zhou. My name is Li Gan. I wonder if a disciple of a family like mine would have the chance to enter?" Li Gan slightly raised his voice and said with a smile on his face.
Silence!!!
Hahahaha …
After a long time, loud mocking laughter finally broke the silence.
"You are the Second Young Master of the * * * * *? I am the son-in-law of the head of the Jeju Union? "
"Young Master of the Li family? Why don't you say that you are the head of the Li family? Or that you are the Li Shi Saint! "
The group of rogue cultivators finally wantonly mocked.
"Little beggar, why don't you take a look at your clothes? Are you looking for trouble?" Second Brother Liu was finally annoyed. He didn't think that this little beggar would dare to pretend to be the Second Young Master Li.
"Alright, alright, we won't lower ourselves to your level. Scram as far as you can." The other guard said in a good mood.
Li Gan was very helpless, "There is someone from the Li family in Spirit Forging Village. She is Li Shuyi. You can go and ask her. Or you can call her out and let her recognize me. I am Li Gan, without a doubt!"
"Scram!!" The two guards finally shouted in unison.
This time, the two of them didn't even have the interest to say another word.
The name that the little beggar in front of them said was actually the talented young miss of the Li family. How could they have the right to see the young miss of the Li family?
Li Gan couldn't find any evidence to prove his identity. He watched as the sun slowly moved to the west. His heart was secretly anxious. Facing the killing intent of the guards, the rogue cultivators around him mocked him.
He had no choice but to temporarily leave the city gate.
However, when Li Gan said his name, a few rogue cultivators in the straw hut raised their eyebrows. After carefully sizing up Li Gan, they became spirited and signaled to each other.
One of them indifferently said, "Once that brat walks out of the crowd, think of a way to secretly get rid of him. This brat's head is very valuable. The sky-high price of fifty crystal coins!"
"Fifty crystal coins?! You're not lying to us, are you? "
"How could I? Look, this is information that a friend of mine secretly obtained from an assassin organization. Regardless of whether you discover him or get rid of him, the reward is fifty crystal coins. If it weren't for my quick wits, I wouldn't have had the chance to obtain such a sky-high price!"
As the man spoke, he took out a jade tube. The group scanned it with their divine senses and their expressions greatly changed.
"We'll go prepare first. You think of a way to lure him into the forest." The group left one after another, pretending to unintentionally scatter into the forest.
"Hey, I'm calling you. It's you …"
Just as Li Gang took a few steps forward, he heard someone shouting behind him. He turned around and saw a brawny man carrying a large saber walking over.
"Are you calling me?" Li Gan asked.
"You said you're the young master of the Li family?" The man sized up Li Gan again.
"Does it have anything to do with you?" Li Gang was depressed because he couldn't sneak in the spirit forging materials, so he casually replied.
"Looking at you, you don't look like it. However, if you really are the Second Young Master Li, Li Gan, then you should be someone who doesn't lack money. I have a way to let you sneak into the spirit forging village." The brawny man cracked a smile, looking very simple and honest.
"Sneak into the spirit forging village?" Li Gan raised his head.
"Of course, if you can enter openly, then my purpose for coming here will be unnecessary!"
"Do you think I have any other way now? It's just that … "
"Money is a small matter. The premise is that you really are the Second Young Master Li."
"I am!" Li Gan said with certainty.
"Haha, then that's easy. If you're willing, we can help you sneak into the spirit forging village at any time. "
"Tell me about your method first." Li Gan was a little tempted, but he was more suspicious. After all, the spirit forging village was heavily guarded. It wasn't a place anyone could sneak in just because they wanted to. However, these wandering cultivators who lived in the spirit forging village might have some secret passageway that no one knew about. After all, money makes the world go round.
The brawny man lowered his voice and said, "There are other entrances to the spirit forging village. Although they are heavily guarded, I know one of the guards. He's the captain there."
"Haha, does the captain have the authority to let me sneak in?"
"Of course not, but I can ask him to go to the spirit forging village and find someone from the Li family to pick you up. Again, if you really are the young master of the Li family, this is worth the risk."
"Okay!" Li Gan's eyes flashed.
"That … let me tell you first. I need to spend money to invite a friend, that …"
"No problem. If I can get in, I'll pay as much as you want."
"Good." The brawny man smiled satisfactorily and pointed at the dense forest in front of them, indicating for Li Gan to follow.
… …
"Are you sure that's Li Gan?" In the spirit forging village, Sun Ya, who had just received the news, rushed towards the city gates and stared at Li Gan's back. Although he was a little beggar, he did look familiar. But … how could Li Gan have passed through the dense forest of Phoenix Ridge to get here?
"It's been verified. It's Li Gan." A man in black replied respectfully.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. He couldn't have passed through the dense forest alone. Maybe Yue Feiyang is around this bastard! You must be careful. Don't mess things up again. "
"Young Mistress, don't worry. The group of people who spread the news is just a bunch of rascals from Spirit Forging Village, but they're more than enough to kill Li Gan. If Yue Feiyang is really by that rascal's side, he won't find any evidence of our involvement. When that time comes, we can completely shirk all responsibility. Besides, Young Miss also wants to get rid of Yue Feiyang. Those outer disciples can lure him out, and we can catch them all in one fell swoop. "
"Okay!" Sun Ya nodded lightly and ordered in a low voice, "Inform Elder Duan that Li Gan has arrived at the spirit forging village! Tell everyone to gather here. We're going to carry out the second step of the plan. "
… …
Just as everyone was starting to move. Li Gan, who was about to enter the dense forest, seemed to notice something. His gaze swept across the dense forest, and he suddenly stopped.
The brawny man in front asked, "Why did you stop?"
After this period of training, Li Gan's temperament had become more cautious. Just now, because he wanted to enter the spirit forging village, he had let his guard down. However, now that he had calmed down, he thought, "Are those black-clothed people following us nearby? My identity was exposed just now. Would they have noticed? "
As he thought about it, Li Gan inwardly cursed. He casually asked, "I don't think there are any guards here!"
"The guards naturally wouldn't be in the open. That's our secret passage. Look at the mountain in front of us. The entrance is there."
"Haha, big brother, you've been tricked!" Li Gan laughed loudly.
"Tricked?!"
"Isn't that so? Spirit Forging Village is such an important place. There should only be one entrance. "
"Little brother, I didn't expect you to be so scheming. Let me tell you! Every year, there are many people who want to enter the spirit forging village, and they all enter through those secret passages … "
"You're speaking very unnaturally!" Li Gan looked straight into the brawny man's eyes and slowly retreated.
"Little brother, why don't you even believe what I say? Where are you going? Without my help, you won't be able to enter the spirit forging village. "The brawny man pretended to be surprised, but his expression became colder.
These subtle changes naturally didn't escape Li Gan's sharp observation. The suspicion in his heart grew. Suddenly, he ran a few steps forward and ran to the side of a beautiful middle-aged woman. He respectfully bowed and asked, "Hello, big sister. Can I ask you a question?"
The polite and natural woman's face was full of joy, "What is it? Little brother, ask away! "
"Is there any other way to enter the spirit forging village?"
"Other way?" The middle-aged woman glanced at the brawny man and smiled, "You're not going to say sneak in, are you? I'm telling you, don't believe this nonsense. If there really was a way, I would have entered long ago. Why would I wait here for the other families to give me a chance? Qiao San, bad boy, I'm telling you, don't lie to children here. "
Just at this moment, Li Gan inadvertently caught sight of a figure from the corner of his eye that made him wary. A black-robed man flashed and disappeared. He was walking quickly in the direction of the dense forest.
"Haha, so you're called Qiao San, bad boy. Looks like I've been fooled!" Li Gan retreated a few steps again.
"Sun family's slut, I'm telling you, don't meddle in my business!" The brawny man coldly snorted. A light flashed in his eyes, and he no longer had the simple and honest demeanor. He suddenly took a step forward, and his large hand suddenly grabbed at Li Gan's throat. He said sternly, "Little bastard, come with me!"
"You've revealed your true colors!" Li Gan's face once again had a different smile. His body swayed slightly, and he easily avoided the opponent's hand.
