After hearing Ye Li's words, Li Xifeng reluctantly nodded and said, "Don't worry, they are just a group of bandits. They definitely want money. If we pay a little more, we will definitely be able to get the red beans back."
Hearing his words, Ye Li nodded, but he always felt that things might not be that simple. A scum like Xie Qi might do something even more shameless.
After that, Li Xifeng and his companions split up to collect enough high-quality spirit stones.
Several thousand high-quality spirit stones are not a small number, and most of these traveling merchants will not accumulate too many spirit stones on them. Most of the spirit stones are exchanged for goods.
These past few days, Ye Li continued to practice Jing Ya Ming in the valley during the day. After two days, he finally practiced Jing Ya Ming to the heavenly level.
The Crow's Cry that has reached the Heavenly Level not only emits soul shocks that are as real as reality, but can also condense soul attacks that originally spread group damage into attacks against a single person.
When Jing Yaming was controlled by Ye Li and transformed into a gray soul arrow and shot towards a hare, the hare's heart stopped beating the moment its eyes opened wide.
Ye Li was also extremely surprised by this, especially when he skinned and cleaned the rabbit and prepared to roast it, he discovered that the rabbit's brain and heart had completely collapsed.
It was also the first time that he personally felt the power of soul attack, which could even directly affect the body.
Of course, after practicing this soul-moving spell to the heavenly level, the soul-moving spell next to his natal talisman also had an additional stroke added to the original one.
From a talisman with two strokes to a talisman with three strokes, the purity of the Soul-Walking Talisman Root has been slightly improved.
The morning of the third day was the day that Xie Qi had restricted Li Xifeng and the others to deliver the spirit stones.
Ye Li originally wanted to ask Li Xifeng and the others how their preparations were going, but when he got up early and knocked on Li Xifeng's door, he found that they were no longer in the room.
Li Xifeng and his friends have been busy outside these days, and Ye Li has hardly seen them.
In fact, he was still a little worried in his heart. After all, Hongdou was a lovable little girl, and he didn't want anything to happen to her from the bottom of his heart.
After searching around and not finding anyone, he could only shake his head and prepare to go to the mountains to practice for another day.
In addition to the Bone-Sparkling Flame Mist, the nine-character three-character talisman he previously mastered also included a military talisman called the Blazing Claw, which he had only cultivated to the Xuan level.
When he walked out of the inn and was about to go to the suburbs to practice talismans, he, with his keen senses, suddenly felt as if someone was secretly staring at him.
However, when he turned his head calmly, trying to find the owner of his gaze, this feeling disappeared, and the other party seemed to be hiding himself.
At this time, Ye Li was in the city, and it was not convenient for him to use his spiritual power to search for people, because it was a big taboo to use the power of spiritual power on people indiscriminately. It might be suspected of intruding into privacy or provoking others, and it would easily cause trouble.
After all, there are a lot of people here, and there may be masters at the Linghai stage or Lingdan stage or above. If you rashly use your spiritual power to detect others, you may be attacked.
Thoughts kept surging in Ye Li's mind, and he made up his mind after a moment. He still pretended not to notice anything unusual and walked towards the suburbs outside the south city.
After leaving Yeyu City, there were fewer and fewer people around him, making it more difficult for the other party to track him.
Ye Li calmly increased his speed and ran towards the valley where he had stayed for the past few days with a clear direction.
When he started running, that gaze was locked on him again. It was obvious that in order to prevent him from running out of sight, the other party had to stare at him and follow closely from behind.
Ye Li didn't run too fast. After walking along the road for a while, he turned into the forest next to it.
As soon as he entered the forest, he suddenly began to accelerate and disappeared into the woods in a blink of an eye.
The person following him seemed to be anxious as well. He did not bother to hide himself. He appeared from behind a rock, hurriedly chased to the edge of the woods, and looked inside.
The man who had been following Ye Li all the way looked like an ordinary vegetable-selling farmer. However, when he jumped out from behind the rock just now, his agility showed that he was not an ordinary vegetable-selling farmer.
"Damn it, I actually lost him. Now the Third Boss must punish me!"
After looking into the woods for a while, the farmer-like man discovered that Ye Li's figure had completely disappeared in just a moment, and a look of annoyance immediately appeared on his face.
"Oh, really? How is he going to punish you?"
Just as he opened his mouth to complain, Ye Li's voice suddenly sounded from the treetops above, and accompanied by the breeze, quickly came behind him.
The old farmer-like man was suddenly startled, spiritual energy surged throughout his body, and his arm shook. A long dagger that was glowing green and engraved with runes slipped out from his sleeve.
He twisted his body forward as slickly as a poisonous snake, trying to distance himself from Ye Li behind him, while at the same time he turned his hand and stabbed Ye Li in the face.
This man was obviously a well-trained martial arts master. The entire attack was done in one go. Even without turning his head to look back, he was able to find the position of Ye Li's face very accurately.
Just as he moved forward, the arm holding the dagger stabbed towards Ye Li's face like a soft whip.
Suddenly, he felt as if his dagger had pierced into a piece of hard rock and was stuck inside, unable to move at all.
A huge pulling force was transmitted to his body along with the dagger in his hand, which directly stopped him and continued to pull him backwards.
With fear in his heart, he quickly loosened his fingers that were holding the dagger and wanted to run forward without looking back.
However, before he could take a step forward, another breeze blew on the back of his neck, accompanied by a large hand that seemed to be cast in iron.
"ah!"
A scream was heard, and Ye Li's strong and powerful fingers pinched the back of the stalker's neck. With one force, the other party's whole body suddenly went limp in pain, and he instantly lost the ability to resist and was lifted off the ground by him.
There was no spell to restrain him, so Ye Li could only stretch out his hands and pull on the tracker's shoulders and legs for a while, loosening several of his major joints, and then he threw the tracker, who was as soft as mud, to the ground.
It was not until this time that Ye Li had time to take a closer look at the stalker. He found that the other person looked familiar. After a closer look, he remembered that this person was the vendor who sold straw sandals and hats at the entrance of Lotte Inn these two days.
"Who are you and why are you following me?"
Ye Li looked at the stalker on the ground and asked with a serious face.
