Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 354 - 137: Yama of Ghost Street, Layers of Traps, Breaking Out of the Game

Chapter 354: Chapter 137: Yama of Ghost Street, Layers of Traps, Breaking Out of the Game

In the distance, the waiter responded with "Got it".

When the soup dumplings were served, Li Yuan straightened his chopsticks, took a deep breath, and smiled, "Delicious!".

For several days in a row, Li Yuan always took Xiaozhao to have breakfast on the street, without exception.

He was even on time, as if this had become a habit for them as a father and daughter.

...

...

Divine Wood Hall, Inner City.

The bright Yang Qi rose from a field of meat like a blazing sun.

Beside the field stood a person with hands behind the back, and the tangible blood energy from the meat field was drilling into this person’s body from all directions, making this person’s blood and energy as abundant as a vast ocean, daring anyone to look directly.

This was precisely the Divine Wood Hall Master — Qing Hancheng.

Behind him was Elder Cui — Cui Wuji, who was reporting the news.

And what Cui Wuji spoke of was actually Li Yuan’s actions these days.

After the report, Qing Hancheng was silent for a moment, then said, "It is we who owe Master Zhu, we shouldn’t make Master Li feel wronged. Treat him well, and do not let him feel he is being watched. When the time is right, let him move here to live."

Cui Wuji said, "That was the Jing Family’s reckless behavior, and Master Zhu... was also too extreme." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Qing Hancheng sighed, "I have also been through..."

As he spoke, he seemed to have more to say but stopped, waved his hand, and said, "Whatever Master Li wants, give it to him, the Weapon Forger is too important for us."

Cui Wuji said, "Yes, Hall Master."

Qing Hancheng waved his hand and said, "A few days ago, we received three hundred jin of excellent Blood Crystal Marrow, since Master Gong is not here, you take it to Master Li."

Cui Wuji responded, then took his leave.

Once everyone had left, Qing Hancheng began to cough violently, covering his chest and sitting down, then held his head in his hands, letting out a low roar: "Stop it, stop it! So annoying! So annoying!"

However, this place was a secret chamber built in the center of a Fourth Grade Meat Field, and no one could hear what was happening inside.

...

...

Night fell.

Into the deep night.

Li Yuan donned a cloak and mask, and stepped out of his courtyard gate.

Outside his house, it had long been cleared, with Seventh Grade disciples from Divine Wood Hall patrolling the four corners of the northeast, northwest, southeast, and southwest. This was not to surveil him, but out of fear that someone might come to assassinate him.

At any movement, these disciples would immediately release signal flares, and nearby Sixth Grade or even Fifth Grade experts would come to support.

As for why there were these disciples, the reason was simple, it was because Li Yuan would not agree to move to the main hall of Divine Wood Hall, so... Divine Wood Hall sent these disciples to protect him.

Outside the courtyard gate, the disciples on duty tonight were expanding their perception.

The overlapping perceptions, excluding the inside of Li Yuan’s residence, almost covered the outside of the house layer upon layer.

Li Yuan walked out under this heavy overlapping perception.

He moved like a shadow without any aura, whisking through with the wind.

Those disciples surprisingly did not notice him.

Li Yuan had not been idle these times.

With money, resources, and status, although unable to improve his realm, of course, he would find ways to enhance his abilities laterally.

Through Ouyang Da, he bought a Sixth Grade Skill, Concealing Breath Skill, from a secret commerce association for 210 taels of Blood Gold, and through Wang Linji, he bought another Sixth Grade Skill, Stealth Skill, for 200 taels of Blood Gold...

<Concealing Breath Skill> allows one to hide their aura, making it undetectable, by letting the Shadow Blood flow inwardly for a short time, preventing even the slightest aura from leaking.

allows one to hide their form, making them invisible, by guiding the Shadow Blood to flow in a peculiar way and creating a temporary ’shadow zone’ on the surface, making oneself appear as a mere shadow even in light.

These two Sixth Grade Skills could not be used simultaneously because it’s impossible to make Shadow Blood operate in two different ways.

But after Li Yuan cultivated these skills to Great Perfection, the impossible became possible.

He ran his blood energy internally with and his Shadow Blood externally with .

With sufficient proficiency and mastery, it became possible.

Thus, Li Yuan could not be sensed or seen, allowing him to openly walk through the overlapping observations without being detected by the Seventh Grade Martial Artists.

He found his way effortlessly to a secret room within the Cyan Robe Building.

The Cyan Robe Tower Master — Wang Hiran, personally received the master and brought along a letter from afar, along with a large cage.

Within the cage, there was a live Sixth Grade Demon Dog — Black King.

Compared to Black Marquis, Black King was much smaller, resembling a normal large domestic dog.

However, the muscles on Black King’s body were like well-forged armor, touching it felt like touching lead, cold and hard, and if it opened its mouth, the rows of sharp teeth were enough to intimidate anyone.

Wang Hiran’s Adam’s apple moved as he looked at the purchased demon beast and said, "Master, don’t be fooled by its size, it weighs a thousand jin, the price... sixteen hundred taels of Blood Gold."

Li Yuan nodded.

The price of demon beasts was easy to calculate; the price of the demon beast meat itself multiplied by 1.5 is the price of the live demon beast.

And if the demon beast was injured or disabled, the price would drop, but it generally wouldn’t drop below one times the price.

One thousand jin of Sixth Grade Demon Beast Meat itself was priced at six hundred and sixty-six taels of Blood Gold.

This sixteen hundred taels were already rounded down.

When someone approached, even though Black King was in a ’semi-conscious’ state under medication, it still let out a vicious growl, "Roar~"

A low threat and dense blood and Qi made Wang Hiran’s mouth dry, his face pale, and his legs tremble.

Li Yuan glanced at the "320~860" on its head, not bad, better than Yan Mu’s nephew.

He slowly stepped forward, using his Sixth Grade Demon Taming Skill to begin the taming.

His Sixth Grade Demon Taming Skill was named , which was perfect for taming dogs.

Black King bared its teeth and growled.

But when Li Yuan’s hand touched its head, a strange bond was formed between them.

After more than an hour, Black King was already wagging its tail.

Li Yuan looked at the Black King, and his expression changed.

Because he found that his own data had changed, from "2600~3350" to "2603~3359".

This was normal because previously, he could also absorb one percent of the power from the demon dogs he tamed.

However, this time it was obviously different.

Because the Black King’s data also changed, from "320~860" to "346~894".

It also inherited one percent of his power.

Yet, when he was a Seventh Grade, those demon beasts could not inherit.

Li Yuan moved slightly away, and when he was no longer within each other’s sensory range, his data reverted to "2600~3350".

After completing the test, Li Yuan sat back in the chair, casually breaking the iron cage’s lock, and tossed a nearby antidote into Black King’s mouth, saying, "It’s no longer dangerous."

Wang Hiran watched Black King nervously.

This thing could bite his head off.

Yet after a while, he saw the fearsome demon dog crouched at Li Yuan’s feet.

Li Yuan then picked up the letter from the table to read.

The letter came from Cloud Mountain Path.

The person who wrote the letter was Tang Nian.

The letter conveyed quite a bit of good news, mainly that Cloud Mountain Path was indeed remote and barren, lacking in resources.

Tang Nian had now created a second Sixth Grade Puppet.

With two Sixth Grade Puppets, and the backing of the Fujia Commerce Association’s financial resources and the boss lady’s behind-the-scenes operations, she was completely unchecked in the local area.

One by one, seemingly unrelated forces but connected were emerging.

After reading the letter, Li Yuan picked up a pen and wrote a reply.

The letter had no signature and only mentioned one thing: investigate the Ghost Realm of Cloud Mountain Path, the more remote, the better, only to ascertain location and information, do not delve deep.

After a slight pause, he wrote another letter.

This letter was for Pang Yuanhua.

This sworn younger sister had been "transparent" for years in his world, now it was time for her to do something.

The task Li Yuan asked her to do was simple too, to investigate the Ghost Street of Cloud Mountain Path.

After finishing the letter, he placed it accordingly, and in the letter to Pang Yuanhua, he also placed 10 Copper Tokens and one pair of Human Skin Handcuffs.

Trust those you employ, and do not employ those you distrust, Pang Yuanhua lived with him for many years, they were already bonded together.

"Send it out, no mistakes allowed."

Li Yuan handed the letter to Wang Hiran, "Also, make sure no one knows who the sender is."

"Rest assured, Master, Mr. Wang knows how to handle it." Wang Hiran saluted respectfully and took his leave.

Li Yuan yawned and returned to the house.

Tonight Cui Huayin locked her door, so he went to sleep over at Yaojue’s instead.
