Chapter 793: Chapter 793

"Old Lin, I've always been curious about something."

Qin Yi said, "As a City Lord, why are you so stingy?"

"What do you know? Every resource I save is transported to the Sky Barrier. The warriors there, with increased cultivation, have better self-preservation during battles."

Qin Yi couldn't help but applaud, "Old Lin, you truly amaze me. Honestly, I don't admire many people, but you're one of them."

"Don't just talk. Return those thousand Earth Spirit Stones."

Qin Yi looked frustrated, "I say, Old Lin, I gave you an Earth Spirit Stone Mine. Isn't a thousand Earth Spirit Stones as a reward fair?

Besides, I might come back in the future and help fight at the Sky Barrier, resisting external enemies. So, I'm also a Sky Barrier Warrior. Your resources are all sent to the Sky Barrier anyway, so consider it an advance."

Lin Zhengnan sneered, "You call that an advance? That's theft."

"Hey, don't make it sound so harsh. Your steward personally handed it to me. How is that theft? It's a gift, and I'm accepting it begrudgingly."

The steward standing next to Lin Zhengnan had a blackened old face.

"City Lord, something's not right. Qin Yi previously said they would be teleported out soon, but nothing's happened for so long. Is there a glitch? Is he stalling for time?

If so, we should act now, arrest him directly, and retrieve the Earth Spirit Stones."

Lin Zhengnan nodded slightly. Qin Yi's rambling indeed seemed like a delaying tactic.

"Qin Yi, you said you had a gift for me. What is it?"

The words of the steward were heard clearly by Qin Yi, and he couldn't help but feel nervous. If he couldn't come up with a good plan, a fight was inevitable.

"Wait a moment, Old Mo is preparing it for you. I'll go check and be right back."

Without waiting for Lin Zhengnan to speak, Qin Yi left the window and returned with a bitter smile, "I can't hold on much longer."

Mo Wuji glanced at his pocket watch, "It's been quite a few minutes already."

"Damn it, what's going on?" Qin Yi frowned and said irritably. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝔫𝔢𝔱

Bai Jingqing suddenly looked at Mo Wuji and asked, "Did you count by thirty days or thirty-one days?"

"Thirty days." Mo Wuji replied.

"It's October now, so it should be thirty-one days."

Qin Yi and the others were all dumbfounded.

"Is this thing really so precise? Even looking at the month?" Qin Yi muttered.

Mo Wuji smiled wryly, "Junior Sister Bai makes a good point. We might have really miscalculated by a day."

"Oh shit... This is trouble. If that's the case, we still have a day left, and we celebrated too soon."

"Brother Qin, what should we do now?"

Qin Yi smiled bitterly, "We're surrounded on all sides outside, and the skies are blocked too. Apart from fighting, there's no other way.

Little Bai Fairy, I suddenly think you're really too smart."

Bai Jingqing was slightly stunned, then her pretty face turned cold. Being inexplicably mocked, who could be happy?

"I wasn't mocking you; I'm serious... I suddenly think your idea of digging a tunnel is good.

Here's the plan: I'll stall for time, and you guys quickly dig the tunnel."

Mo Wuji and the others were dumbfounded as they looked at Qin Yi. Just now, he mocked Bai Jingqing coldly for this idea, and now he actually wanted to dig the tunnel. They all wanted to ask if Qin Yi's face hurt.

"Hurry up, don't just stand there. If we don't want to fight, digging a tunnel seems to be our only way out. I'll stall for time."

As Qin Yi spoke, he took an apple from the table and walked to the window.

"Old Lin, look, this is the gift I have for you."

Lin Zhengnan and the others looked up and saw Qin Yi holding an apple, and their faces immediately darkened.

"Kid, how dare you make fun of me?" Lin Zhengnan was tempted to kill Qin Yi. After all this fuss, he used an apple to bluff him?

Qin Yi looked disdainful, "I told you people are blind moles, unable to see the gems within. Your eyes are just for show; I suggest you them.

Is this an ordinary apple? Look closely; this is a Spirit Fruit that contains the essence of heaven and earth."

Lin Zhengnan and the others' eyes narrowed, full of surprise.

The Spirit Fruit is something they naturally knew, a heavenly treasure that's rare to come across.

"Is this a Spirit Fruit?" Lin Zhengnan examined it for a long time, "Don't try to deceive me; I haven't never seen a Spirit Fruit."

Qin Yi looked disdainful, "I told you you're blind moles, shallow in insight, yet you won't admit it. There are many types of Spirit Fruits. Have you seen them all?

This Spirit Fruit was fought for with my life, escaping death in an underground palace.

It's a Mystic Fruit among Spirit Fruits, blooming every three thousand years, fruiting every three thousand, and maturing every three thousand years. When a Qi Refiner consumes it, they instantly break through several layers, and there are no side effects."

Lin Zhengnan and the others were stunned, their eyes avidly locked onto the apple in Qin Yi's hand. For Qi Refiners, nothing's more important than a breakthrough.

"Old Lin, let's call it even, shall we? I'll give you this Spirit Fruit, and forget the thousand Earth Spirit Stones, how about it?"

Lin Zhengnan's eyes flickered, "You little fox, who are you trying to fool? It still looks like an ordinary apple to me."

"Damn, old man, your eyes are useless. Haven't you heard the story of the Mystic Fruit?

Let me show you if this is really just an apple."

As Qin Yi spoke, he slowly extended his hand. The apple in his palm suddenly emitted a brilliant green light, growing more radiant, until finally, the glow enveloped it, dazzling and spectacular.

Everyone's spirits lifted as they felt the rich Spiritual Energy in the green glow.

"How about now? Do you believe it?"

Qin Yi looked contemptuously at the gaping crowd below, with an expression that said they were all bumpkins.

No one noticed the powder falling from Qin Yi's lowered left hand. To create this illusion, he refined two Earth Spirit Stones earlier.

"I'm telling you, this Mystic Fruit could take nine thousand, even ten thousand years to mature.

Ages ago, a cowherd boy accidentally found a Mystic Fruit, and it released a Stone Monkey.

This Stone Monkey wasn't ordinary. He took heaven as father, earth as mother, and was a divine monkey with unparalleled Divine Skills.

He invaded the Dragon Palace, seized the Divine Needle, stormed Lingxiao, and beat up the Jade Emperor. He swept the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, thrashed the Nine Nether Yama Lord, and no God or Buddha was his match. I ask, don't you want such a pet?"

Qin Yi capitalized on the moment, spinning tall tales, blowing Lin Zhengnan and the others away.

"I'm telling you, this Mystic Fruit is a once-in-ten-thousand-years treasure. It not only enhances cultivation and strengthens the body, but it can also open a Divine Pet with cultivation that shakes heaven and earth..."

"The Stone Monkey you're talking about is named Sun Wukong in the end, isn't he?"

The steward suddenly spoke, interrupting Qin Yi, who was going overboard with his tall tales.
