Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World - Chapter 68 65: Lure the snake out of its hole

“Mother, our boat has been almost fully renovated. I plan to find a secluded courtyard in the county and we’ll start living there. You don’t have to worry about money. We just need to live our lives honestly.”

Chen Yi shared his plan aboard their large boat. Chen Yi’s mother now deferred all decisions to him. The boy of the family was now a martial artist, and even the little girl had already begun to enter the Mingjin stage. Chen Yi’s mother herself was feeling stronger these days, her complexion had improved, her chronic back pain had disappeared. How could she not acknowledge that these were all due to Chen Yi’s efforts?

“Yi, you make the decisions. Remember, don’t get into conflicts with others when you’re outside. Your safety is what matters the most, do you understand?”

“Don’t worry, mother. I will remember!”

After arranging everything, Chen Yi boarded a passenger ship to go to the county town.

…..

Not long after Chen Yi left the Immortal Cultivation World, the Lin Family noticed something wrong.

Five charred bodies were scattered in an open space in the courtyard of the Lin Family mansion. Lin Ping, the Family Head, could barely recognize his son among the corpses.

Bang!!!

“You bunch of failures, how did my son die?!!”

“Drag everyone from the slums here. If there is any resistance, execute them on the spot!”

“Kill all those guests who were supposed to protect my second son! They are useless!”

“Mr. Mu, as Sea Bear was your disciple, you’re most familiar with his capabilities. I want you to take full responsibility for this, find the murderer,

I want him chopped up into pieces!!!”

A strong middle-aged man bowed his hand, “Family Head, what if the Island Master asks?”

“Humph! Don’t be afraid of him. My second uncle recently broke through to the advanced stage of Qi Cultivation. He’s on par with that old fellow from the Island Master’s side, but he’s younger. The Island Master won’t dare to mess with us. Just do what you need to do!”

“All right, Family Head, rest assured. With the clues from the slums, the killer can’t escape!” Mr. Mu bowed again, and with a crowd of people, he blocked off the slums.

Soon, everyone from the slums was made to kneel in the courtyard.

“Where are Liu Zhu and Er Gou? What do they look like?”

“You say you saw them in the market? Someone followed Zhang Heng and his people, and then Zhang Heng never came back?”

“My second son went to find the fisherman behind Liu Zhu? Is he like this?”

“Does the middle-aged man who appeared at Liu Zhu’s house this morning look like this? Good, that matches, it’s him!”

Soon, Mr. Mu deduced the correct answer, but it ended there,

Because by this time, Liu Zhu and his wife had already hidden in the endless fog, they had nowhere to start.

The fisherman behind Liu Zhu, according to the testimony of eyewitnesses from the market, was a middle-aged man with a hardened appearance. However, he was a mysterious figure,

Apart from these two areas, he had never appeared elsewhere!

“Search! Check all the channels for selling big fish. Send people to the 31st and 33rd islands with his portrait to check. I don’t believe he won’t come ashore again!

All those suspicious people who have used Sea Bear’s Talisman Scrolls and spent our gold beans, don’t let any of them slip away!”

In his fury, the Lin Family Head was willing to pay any price to find the murderer.

At this moment, Chen Yi had already appeared in a gold shop in Lakeside County of the Martial World.

“Boss, I want to rent a gold furnace for about two hours, how much would it cost?”

“The full set of tools for goldsmithing plus the fuel, charcoal, will be one tael of silver per two hours.”

“Okay.”

From his memory, Chen Yi, using a simple disguise technique he had learned in the Immortal Cultivation World, transformed into Elder Brother Yunhu,

Inside the gold shop, he paid a tael of silver as rental fees and then went to the refining room.

Taking out a gold bean, he put it in the furnace and began the refining process.

A slight sense of being watched and faint breathing sounds a few meters behind him did not go unnoticed. Chen Yi slightly smiled.

This gold shop was deliberately chosen by him. It was located on one of the core streets controlled by the Ma Zi Gang.

While being watched, Chen Yi slowly refined the gold bean. The spy estimated that Chen Yi could probably produce three to four gold beans in two hours and then left.

After sensing the person’s departure, Chen Yi quickly heated up a dozen gold beans and simply hammered them into gold cakes.

Two hours later,

When he left the gold shop, Chen Yi had twenty more gold coins in his hand, and the secret marks originally on the gold beans had disappeared.

The style of the gold coins was based on the ones Elder Liu kept in his inventory. Although they were not exactly the same, he was trading them to Elder Liu anyway. As long as he didn’t openly spend the Lin Family’s gold beans, there wouldn’t be any major problems.

Upon leaving the gold shop, Chen Yi did not go far. He went to the nearby restaurant, ordered a table of food and wine, and enjoyed himself while listening for information about the different types of wine the restaurant had collected,

Among them, a wine called Fifty-Year-Old Bamboo Leaf Green was priced at 100 taels per jar!

Chen Yi tried a little bit and could certainly taste the flavor of time in it. It was many times more mature and full-bodied than the coarse wine in the restaurants of the Immortal Cultivation World, which were made crudely with spiritual energy.

The wine of the Immortal Cultivation World was strong and was good for replenishing Vitality and Blood, but it lacked the depth of time’s precipitation,

Just like martial arts practice in the Immortal Cultivation World, it pursued the enhancement of Vitality and Blood, and the physical strength while lacking in the depth of technique.

Maybe it was because that world had spiritual energy resources, so no one went into researching the technique,

And in this Martial World, perhaps, due to its “barrenness”, every small layer of development has been researched to the extreme.

This was what Chen Yi had been feeling more and more recently. For instance, the talisman scroll that could let out fireballs, if developed by people in the Martial World,

They would definitely not waste energy like this. They might achieve the same effect with less energy consumption.

As Chen Yi was enjoying his wine and exquisite dishes, he was pondering the strengths and weaknesses of the two worlds,

And his own advantage was marrying the strengths of both worlds in himself, having both the depth and resources to develop his body and cultivate.

…

Meanwhile, in the same street, in a large courtyard, Ma Qigang, as the gang leader, was leading his subordinates in some martial practice.

They were stripping to their waists, each chest and back muscle visible. They were flushed and either hitting each other or practicing force against wooden piles.

The main martial method practiced by Ma Zi Gang was the Iron Shirt Technique, also known as the Iron Shirt. This method, when mastered, is believed to result in a body rich in Vitality and Blood, far surpassing that of the Iron Wire Fist and the Iron Whip Leg.

Among the crowd, there was a teenager in his teens, also bare-chested, practicing the basic moves of the Iron Shirt Technique,

Upon closer inspection, the boy looked 70-80% similar to Chen Yi!

“Chen Qi, there’s a job. Some fat sheep just left the gold shop and is now drinking at the Hakka Restaurant. He has at least three gold cakes on him. You take Wang Hu and Zhang Cheng to the restaurant. Be careful, the other party is likely also a Mingjin martial artist, otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to brazenly carry gold around.”
