Chapter 87 Tense Situation (II)

By the way, Senior Brother Wang, do you have a way to get the purple lightning stone? Chen Yiming asked.

Purple lightning stone? You still want to use it to forcefully break through? Aren't you afraid that accidents might occur? Wang Bowen asked in surprise.

The power of lightning was extremely effective in tempering the body. The only problem was that it could easily injure the body's foundation.

Unless one had no hope of breaking through or specialized in this path, most people would not dare to try it.

This is a secret I accidentally discovered. My body is very resistant to the power of lightning. I'll only suffer minor injuries during the tempering process, and I'll recover quickly, Chen Yiming explained. This was the excuse he used to explain how he could use the purple lightning stone to quickly achieve his breakthroughs. It was not like anyone else could verify whether it was true.

As long as he insisted that this was the case, others would have no choice but to believe him.

Tsk, Junior Brother Chen, it looks like you entered the wrong school back then. If you had realized this earlier, you should have joined the Tongbeiquan School. That is the best place for you to display your talent, Wang Bowen said in surprise when he received this news.

What do you mean? Chen Yiming asked.

Previously, it wouldn't have been difficult to obtain the purple lightning stone that you want. However, it has already been listed as a prohibited item. Without a suitable reason, even I can't do anything about it.

As for the people from the Tongbeiquan School, they like to use the power of lightning to temper their bodies. Therefore, their school must have accumulated many resources like the purple lightning stone, Wang Bowen said with a smile.

Chen Yiming was speechless.

He had just humiliated Xie Quan from the Tongbeiquan School.

At this time, even if he was willing to spend money to buy it, they would not sell it to him.

If he really went to look for them, they might beat him up.

I'll have to think of another way, Chen Yiming said helplessly.

Next, Chen Yiming chatted with Wang Bowen about the recent situation in the Mantis Snake Sword School. He found out that nothing had changed and that Lin Yixuan was trying his best to break through to the warrior realm.

He quickly bade his senior brother farewell and left.

At a trading center for martial arts resources in the west of the city, a wall more than ten meters tall surrounded the location. It was about a kilometer wide, and there were people guarding the entrance.

The interior was no different from the layout of the market in the city. There were stalls set up at fixed locations, and the rent was calculated by the day.

At this moment, both sides of the road were filled with stalls. There were people selling weapons, mutant beast meat, various ores, and so on.

Chen Yiming strolled along, hoping to find something similar to the purple lightning stone.

The strength he had displayed on the surface was already enough for him to be considered an expert among the martial arts practitioners in East Lake City.

Coupled with the fact that he was announced to be on the list of dead people and had returned alive, he became the talk of the city overnight.

Wherever he went, he immediately attracted the attention of the people around him.

Chen Yiming sighed.

As expected, I shouldn't have harbored unrealistic hopes. The purple lightning stone has already been listed as a prohibited item. How could it possibly appear openly at a civilian trading center?

After walking around, he realized that most of the cultivation resources were for those below the level of the third transformation. He did not see any items like the purple lightning stone that contained the power of lightning.

Chen Yiming shook his head and thought helplessly to himself, Others feel despair because they are being blocked by the obstacles in their cultivation. I, on the other hand, have broken through too easily and can't find an excuse to explain the sudden increase in my strength. Just as he was about to leave, he heard the whispers of the people around him.

Have you guys heard? Although the Liu clan is a clan with a warrior candidate, they have offended both the Tongbeiquan School and the Divine Wind Martial Arts School. They are currently preparing to offer up their treasures as an apology, someone whispered not far away. Haha, when I passed by the Tongbeiquan School this morning, I saw Liu Liyuan personally going there to apologize. From his humble appearance, it's hard to imagine that he's a warrior candidate, someone beside him said with a laugh.

This Liu Liyuan is really unlucky to have given birth to such a troublesome daughter.

Do you think the two martial arts schools will ask for too much and make the Liu clan pay a huge price? After all, two core disciples have died.

The few of them spoke one after another, and unknowingly, the discussion grew more and more heated.

Now that Liu Wanqing had escaped and disappeared, the Liu clan had no way of explaining themselves.

Even though Liu Liyuan was a warrior candidate, he was still a fish on the chopping block, waiting to be slaughtered.

Chen Yiming was just listening to the conversation for entertainment when he suddenly had a thought.

The Liu clan was undoubtedly most concerned about Liu Wanging's whereabouts.

As long as they could find her, the two martial arts schools would have no reason to target the entire Liu clan.

A clan with a warrior candidate like the Liu clan should have accumulated a lot of treasures over the years. It was very likely that the treasures that the Tongbeiquan School took a fancy to were similar to the purple lightning stone.

At this thought, Chen Yiming turned around and walked towards the exit. He hailed a taxi and headed to the Liu clan's residence.

In front of the Liu clan's villa, on the plaque at the front door, two large words were engraved in black and outlined in gold: Liu residence.

Chen Yiming stood by the roadside and observed the situation in the Liu clan's villa.

The villa looked a little dilapidated due to the lack of maintenance. The atmosphere was abnormally cold, and the entire row of terrace houses was no longer as lively as it was the last time he visited.

Most of the people who worked for the Liu clan had left one after another when they heard about the incident, afraid that they would be implicated.

After all, they had offended two martial arts schools at the same time. No one could figure out how the two martial arts schools would react. It was better to be safe than sorry.

Chen Yiming! a voice suddenly called out from behind him.

Chen Yiming turned around.

Liu Liyuan strode over. He was wearing a simple long robe, and his face was covered in stubble, making him look very sloppy. His large muddy eyes were not as bright as before, and he looked like an ordinary middle-aged man. What's the matter? Chen Yiming looked at Liu Liyuan calmly.

Half a month ago, a warrior candidate like Liu Liyuan was an expert he could not afford to offend.

At that time, even if he had the talent from the martial arts talent system, he did not dare to be too high-profile. He was afraid that he would be killed before he could even grow.

Wanqing was reckless. She hid it from her family and recruited the few of you to hunt in the mountains, causing you to almost die in the beast tide. I really don't know how to apologize to you, Liu Liyuan said in a low voice.

Chen Yiming remained silent.

He did not know if the other party was sincerely apologizing or if he had other motives.

Based on his understanding of martial arts clans, for a clan head like Liu Liyuan, their cultivation and strength had to be at the top of the clan.

The others, including their children, had to be weaker than them. Otherwise, they would not be able to hold on to their position as the clan head.

Do you want to go in and have a seat? Let's have some tea and have a good chat. Liu Liyuan extended an invitation.

There's no need. Chen Yiming rejected the invitation.

If he really entered the Liu clan's residence, it was hard to guarantee that the Liu clan would not use him to send a message to the outside world that his relationship with Liu Wanqing was something special.

At the moment, he, Zhao Yifeng, and Meng Tai were all victims recruited by Liu Wanqing.

In the eyes of the outside world, the reason he was able to return alive was because he was stronger and luckier.

If Liu Liyuan did not pay the price he was satisfied with, he would not be willing to take the blame for no good reason.
