Chapter 626: Make Do With It
"Qin Yi, I know you have resentment in your heart. We are indeed responsible for this matter. But please understand. Sha Chen and others are not ordinary Qi Refiners, and with some inside help, it's not easy to pin them down."
Qin Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, a fierce light flashing, and said coldly, "Blood Cloud Tower, I will personally go find them."
Others may not know, but both he and the Azure Dragon recognize that the old man in the Blood Robe who escaped is from Blood Cloud Tower.
Qin Yi had been planning to find time to settle matters with Blood Cloud Tower, but unexpectedly, before he could, Blood Cloud Tower stabbed him hard in the heart.
If he had destroyed Blood Cloud Tower earlier, Duan Yiyi might not be lying in that cold ice coffin.
"Qin Yi, go do what you need to do. I'm here, and I guarantee their safety with my life," the Azure Dragon said earnestly.
Qin Yi nodded slightly, then suddenly changed the subject: "Are you sure you can handle it alone? Don't you need to call Xuanwu and the others?"
The Azure Dragon twitched the corner of his mouth, "You think I can't protect them?"
"Alright, good enough then, I don't seem to have other choices anyway," Qin Yi said helplessly.
Good enough?
A dignified Guardian God of Longxia protecting people, yet Qin Yi treated it like it was just good enough? And he looked so unwilling about it.
The Azure Dragon was so annoyed his nose almost went crooked.
Not to mention the Azure Dragon, even Xia Yanbing and others felt like hitting someone. Qin Yi's words were really asking for a beating.
"Head of the Duan Family, Director Xue, sorry to trouble you."
Xue Aoyu laughed, "Saying trouble makes us feel like strangers."
Now, there was hope for Duan Yiyi's resurrection, so everyone showed a bit of a smile on their faces.
Qin Yi turned around and held Xia Yanbing's hand, "Honey, I'm afraid I won't be able to be with you for a while."
"It's alright, do what you need to do. Though Yiyi has hope for resurrection, someone has to pay for her lying in that cold ice coffin now."
Duan Yiyi died to save Xia Yanbing. So, even the always-cool Xia Yanbing hated Blood Cloud Tower to the extreme.
Qin Yi nodded slightly and said, "Wan'er, while I'm away, take good care of your sister-in-law."
"Brother, don't worry. I will definitely take good care of her. Be careful outside, we'll be waiting for you at home."
Qin Yi raised his hand, and Qin Wan'er obediently leaned her face over. Qin Yi pinched her plump little face and said, "Rest assured, I promise you both, I'll come back without a scratch."
Qin Yi sensed Murong Qianxun's position and looked at her, "I won't say thank you. The grudges between us are settled now."
Murong Qianxun nodded slightly. A thank you was unimportant. Settling the grudges with Qin Yi was indeed worth celebrating.
"Are you short of people now?"
Qin Yi was slightly surprised, "Do you want to follow me?"
"Not welcome?"
Qin Yi smiled, "Of course, you're welcome."
Murong Qianxun was the only one in the Top 100 with a Nascent Soul Realm, although not highly ranked, her real power belonged to the top.
"I won't go with you; I'll stay with Bingbing." Yun Mengyao said lazily.
Qin Yi nodded, Yun Mengyao is the kind of person who would rather lie down than sit and sit rather than stand. Simply put, she's lazy. Following him around would be too exhausting; Yun Mengyao wouldn't want to suffer that.
She liked Earth because it was more comfortable and enjoyable than the Primordial world.
"Give me some money." Yun Mengyao unceremoniously reached out to Qin Yi.
Qin Yi: "..."
This woman really doesn't know how to spell "courtesy", does she?
"No money," Qin Yi flatly refused, "I have over a hundred people to support, where would I get money?"
"Then I might as well go rob. If I go out and sweep the streets, I could probably get a lot of money, right?"
Everyone: "..."
Qin Yi was speechless. Since when did this woman show signs of being a rogue?
Qin Yi suddenly smiled and said, "How about this, sell me your Immortal Feather Skirt and I'll offer ten billion, enough for you to splurge for a long time."
Yun Mengyao rolled her eyes, "Then I'd better go rob. If Yinfeng City's security goes bad, don't blame me."
Qin Yi: "..."
This woman has truly become a rogue.
And Yun Mengyao thought that to deal with the rogue Qin Yi, she'd have to be even more of a rogue herself.
Xia Yanbing smiled slightly at Yun Mengyao and said, "I'll give you a million later."
"Bingbing is still the best, unlike some people, so stingy." Yun Mengyao looked at Qin Yi and said disdainfully.
Qin Yi pouted, taking out a small Jade Bottle, "I was going to give you a big gift, but since you said I'm stingy, forget it, I'll keep it for myself."
Yun Mengyao stared at the small Jade Bottle in Qin Yi's hand and curiously asked, "What is it?"
"Breakthrough Pill, after refining it, you can instantly break through a level," Qin Yi said blandly.
However, except for Xia Yanbing and others who had used it, everyone else was shocked.
Yun Mengyao's eyes were blazing; she had long heard of the magic of the Breakthrough Pill from Xia Yanbing and others.
"Qin Yi, I was wrong. You're not stingy, you're the most generous. You're so wise and mighty, surely you won't mind what a weak woman says, right?" Yun Mengyao said, quietly approaching Qin Yi, and then snatched the small Jade Bottle from him.
Qin Yi knew her move all along and let her snatch it intentionally.
Yun Mengyao held the small Jade Bottle, cherishing it like a treasure. She had been stuck at the Golden Core Great Perfection Realm for a long time, unable to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. With this Breakthrough Pill, she could easily break through.
The Azure Dragon frowned slightly, earnestly reminding, "Qin Yi, this kind of thing shouldn't be overused. You should know that cultivation built upon elixirs is unstable in foundation, not strong in combat power, and can easily leave aftereffects."
Murong Qianxun and others nodded slightly; as Qi Refiners, they naturally knew that cultivation forcibly built up by great medicine is like a tofu-dreg project, seemingly splendid but actually weak.
Qin Yi chuckled, "Don't worry. This Breakthrough Pill won't have the issues you mentioned. Xiaobing, Wan'er, they've all taken it, and I guarantee there won't be any aftereffects."
Murong Qianxun and the rest widened their eyes. With Qin Yi's personality, if the Breakthrough Pill truly had aftereffects, there's no way he'd let his wife and sister take it. This means the Breakthrough Pill must not have aftereffects.
Murong Qianxun's eyes began to blaze. The temptation to instantly let someone break through a level is lethal to Qi Refiners.
Qin Yi said, "However, this Breakthrough Pill can only be used once. The second time, the body develops immunity, and it won't be as effective."
The Azure Dragon nodded slightly, rubbing his hands together, "That fits the rules of the universe. Otherwise, creating a group of strong people instantly would be terrifying to imagine."
"Qin Yi, do you have another Breakthrough Pill? Could you give me one? I don't want to use it myself, I just want to research and see if it really doesn't have aftereffects. If there are, I'll correct them; if not, I'll learn from them."
Qin Yi rolled his eyes, full of disdain, just say you want it, why bother finding such a lousy excuse?
