Chapter Ninety-Five: Their Respective Wishes

  When people heard this, their faces all revealed a hint of yearning. The resplendent and dazzling ancient ruins were, for them, simply too mysterious, too enchanting. Even the powerful beings from those mystical lands, in their attitude towards the ancient relics, were no different from these ordinary people.

  When Qin Li spoke of being hunted down by the two Heaven-level warriors from the Qin family, although he was now sitting here safe and sound, even Ah Hu's emotions fluctuated with Qin Li's words, becoming increasingly tense.

  "What is Heavenly Rank?"

  Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang - these four levels may seem close in distance, but in reality, each one represents a level that is as insurmountable as a chasm for a martial artist!

  In the eyes of an ordinary person, becoming a yellow-grade warrior is already a great achievement. Yellow-grade warriors are also known as entry-level warriors!

  That is to say, a yellow-level warrior already has a certain status and identity!

  Once they reach the Xuan level, even within a large family, they can have a certain status, receive high salaries and benefits, and live an enviable life. Of course, their work also has a certain degree of danger, for example, like the hundred or so people who were killed by Qin Li last night. However, this probability is not high, over the past thousand years, among the large families in Huangsha City that have been exterminated, there is only one family - the Qin family.

  Others like Shangguan and Fang families have always been safe, even those small and medium-sized families have never encountered such things, death is inevitable, but the probability is extremely low.

  A martial artist of this level can hold a fairly high position in any family. At the very least, they won't be inferior to those direct descendants of the family.

  Even if you join the royal family, you will receive a very high title and frequent rewards.

  A martial artist who has reached the level of a prefecture can already bring glory to their family!

  And heavenly grade, what is a heavenly grade martial artist? That's someone who represents the pinnacle of martial arts! That's an understatement. They can move mountains and split rocks with ease!

  Ordinary people may not even have the chance to see a top-notch martial artist once in their lifetime, and there is even a tendency to deify them!

  Indeed, there is also the realm of transcending heaven in legend, but after all, it's just a legend, and besides, it's really too far away from ordinary people's lives, even beyond reach!

  And yet Qin Li was able to escape unscathed from the pursuit of two top-tier powerful warriors! This is simply too unbelievable!

  Ah Hu, Bu Yunyan, and even Leng Yao, all stared at Qin Li with wide eyes, as if they couldn't believe that Qin Li, an honest man, could accomplish such a feat, especially after seeing the Qin family being pushed to the forefront due to Qin Li's single statement.

  Qin Li didn't say that one of the top-notch warriors was seriously injured by his own sword. If he said it, the three of them would probably be so shocked that their jaws would drop to the ground, and even if they died, they wouldn't believe it was true.

  Finally, after barely escaping himself, he found a place to retreat and cultivate for nearly half a year, and when he finally broke through to the Earth level, the expressions of the three people became extremely wonderful once again, all of them were stunned there.

  Jian Yunyan's mouth twitched violently, a pair of beautiful eyes filled with an unbelievable expression, said: "You...you actually reached the ground level of power just like that? It's really hard to believe, your promotion degree is a bit too unacceptable."

  Ah Hu and Leng Yao nodded in agreement at the same time, even Leng Yao expressed her own doubts: "Even with top-notch Yuan Li Dan as an aid, it's impossible to advance so quickly, right?"

  Until Qin stood up, concentrated his spirit and energy, let out a low shout, a faint blue light flashed across his body, and the three finally believed, but they all felt a strong sense of powerlessness in their hearts, feeling that Qin was "too abnormal"! Then came an overwhelming excitement, following such a young man is truly promising!

  Ah Hu can even foresee his own future, a bright one!

  Qin Li asked again about the recent situation of the three, and learned that they had been living a simple life, very low-key. Qin Li smiled and said: "Don't worry, this kind of day will pass soon. Nangong Yu, take a look, if we want to refine the elixir according to the secret recipe in this book, won't it be very difficult?"

  Ling Yao opened the book with a solemn expression, as if she was making a pilgrimage. She turned to the first page and saw the first dan method, her expression froze for a moment, her eyes widened slightly, then she flipped to the second page, the third page...and then, unbelieving, started reading from the middle, before finally flipping to the last page.

  Finally, Leng Yao let out a breath, lifted her delicate jade hand and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. She said, "It won't be very difficult."

  Qin Li was overjoyed at once, what he feared most was that there would be a Dan method without materials! But Leng Yao's next sentence completely plunged Qin Li into the abyss.

  "It's indeed not difficult at all, with our current financial resources and actual ability, it's fundamentally impossible! We can't even refine a single Dan medicine!" Leng Yao said, her eyes shining with excitement: "This is the real ancient Dan formula, this is the true ancient civilization! It's too powerful, how could I not think of it? It's simply transforming the rotten into the magical! The intelligence and emotions of the ancient people are indeed extraordinary."

  Qin Li and Bu Yunyan, as well as Ah Hu, the three of them looked at Leng Yao with a few words, it was rare to see such a beautiful woman like her.

  Baiyun's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly as she murmured softly: "What's the use of being talented, without money we can't accomplish anything."

  Ah Hu nodded, originally thinking that they had already become successful people over the years, but was knocked back to their original shape by Qin Li's Dan medicine formula. Suddenly appeared, it turned out that they were still so poor.

  Leng Yao regained her calm demeanor, her eyes fixed on Qin Li as she slowly asked: "Young Master, I dare to ask, what are your plans for the future?"

  Ah Hu and Bu Yunyan were both taken aback at first, but immediately after, they looked at Qin Li with hopeful faces. The decision of this incredible young man would directly affect the future of the three of them, making it impossible for them not to be cautious.

  "In the future, Qin Li repeated in a low voice and fell into deep thought. If this question had been asked by three people half a year ago, Qin Li would have directly blurted out: My future is to rush to Xuan Island, bring my wife back, and from then on, the prince and princess lived a happy, joyful and unashamed life."

  After experiencing the world for a whole year, Qin Li had his own understanding of many things. With his current strength, he was still doing well in the secular world. However, heavenly-level warriors were not to be seen everywhere, and when he really arrived at Xuan Island, that legendary place, would he still be able to swim with ease like now?

  It doesn't matter. After Qin Li's strength increased to the ground level, his confidence in himself was still very strong. The most important thing is that the three people in front of him decided to follow him, just like the gang in his previous life, everyone joined the gang not for fighting and killing, but for roaming the rivers and lakes!

  All one's life is but a pursuit of fame and wealth!

  Those who have truly seen through fame and wealth have gone to a broken temple to become monks; those who look for famous mountains and ancient temples are the ones who haven't seen through.

  "What do you want?" Qin Li thought for a long time, raised his head and asked the three people back.

  "I wish to become rich and prosperous!" Ah Hu said first: "I'm an unrefined person, without much culture. My mother taught me this when I was young, hoping that one day I could become rich and prosperous, and return home in glory!"

  Qin Li nodded, Ah Hu's wish sounded ordinary, but it represented the inner world of the vast majority of people. This was difficult for others, but for Qin Li now, it wasn't a problem at all. It could be achieved very well!

  "What about you, Sister Bù?" Qin Lì asked, looking at Bù Yún Yān.

  Bù Yún yān's expression changed from her usual joking demeanor, and she said seriously: "I hope that when I have a way... Do you think that my usual self is a woman with frivolous behavior?"

  "Of course not!" Qin Li and others replied in unison. Qin Li looked at Bu Yunyan and said, "Although we don't know what you've been through, Sister Bu, but we all know that you're actually a very good woman. You have warmth, kindness, elegance, and righteousness - you're not lacking in any of these qualities. We all like you very much!"

  Bù Yún Yān smiled and nodded, saying: "Thank you, I've always liked you guys, it's an honor to have companions like you!" As she spoke, Bù Yún Yān gently began to recount her past.

  She was born into a single-parent family, with excellent innate abilities and a talent for martial arts. Her mother, however, worked in a brothel, destined to entertain guests. Yet, after meeting her father, they fell deeply in love. Her father was a skilled martial artist, only in his early twenties, with a bright future ahead of him. But after a brief romance, he left behind 100 taels of silver and a manual on combat techniques and mental discipline, never to be seen again.

  Bei Yunyan was ten years old before. All grew up in the green building, and her mother, although no longer receiving guests. But also did not leave the green building, but chose to serve the red card of the green building, expecting that one day, that man would come back to find her, while that man, however, never appeared again.

  Bei Yunyan was ten years old that year. Due to excessive worry, her mother died of depression at the age of less than thirty, which is the prime of life.

  This secret hidden in my heart for over a decade was finally spoken, and Baiyun's tears flowed freely as she said: "I don't expect anything from that man, I just want to ask him why he abandoned my mother so ruthlessly back then. Even if he had a great future ahead of him, my mother never thought of marrying him. Was it not possible for her to be his concubine instead?"

  Ling Yu gently held Bai Yunyan in her arms, patted the shoulders that Bai Yunyan kept shrugging, and said softly: "It's all over now. One day when we meet that heartless man, I'll help you question him together!"

  Baiyun's emotions gradually calmed down, wiping away her bright red eyes, and smiled: "Let you guys laugh at me."

  Qin Li's heart was filled with some emotions, thinking that the profession of a hunter and adventurer indeed had many people who suffered hardships. He looked at Leng Yao with piercing eyes and asked: "Leng sister, what is your wish?"
