Chapter 1026: [736] Have you ever heard of Soul Planting? (First update, seeking monthly tickets at the end of the month) Chapter 1026: [736] Have you ever heard of Soul Planting? (First update, seeking monthly tickets at the end of the month) “Brother Pei, save me!!!”


    Liu Limin shouted loudly, and from a distance came the “whoosh” of an arrow flying, its ferocity astonishing.


    However, this arrow, regretfully, did not hit the Snowback Bear’s eye but only struck its swiping paw, the force partly diffused.


    The Snowback Bear staggered clumsily during its roaring.


    Thump, it fell towards the long sword in front.


    “Pfft!”


    “Damn!”


    Even Liu Limin himself was shocked.


    Staring up in astonishment, he looked at Pei Jinye, “Is it dead?”


    “Nice sword technique,” Pei Jinye said without a change in facial color or heartbeat.


    Liu Limin’s expression was still a bit dazed, “Did I kill it?”


    “If it wasn’t you, who else?” Pei Jinye urged, “Quickly collect the materials. The noise just now was too loud, be careful we’re not being targeted.”


    Liu Limin hurriedly agreed and, moments after he took off with the beast’s materials, he was startled by the roaring shock coming from behind, his heart pounding.


    “Crap, good thing we bailed, or in this level of melee… even if we didn’t die, we’d be skinned.”


    Liu Limin was clearly terrified.


    As they headed towards the outskirts of Snow Dragon Mountain, suddenly Pei Jinye reached out his hand to stop him.


    “What’s the matter, Brother Pei?” Liu Limin asked, confused.


    Pei Jinye shook his head, whispering, “We’re being ambushed.”


    “Crap! What do we do, Brother Pei?” Liu Limin hurriedly asked in a low voice.


    Before Pei Jinye could speak, several figures stood out from the woods.


    “Five, six, seven, eight… Damn!” Liu Limin’s face turned green, his voice strained, “Why go to such lengths! Is it really worth this many people troubling us over just Third Rank beast materials?”


    “Cut the crap and hand it over!” The leader, Moxigan, coldly said, lashing his thunder whip.


    “I’m a student of Dragon City martial arts university. Give you three guts and you still wouldn’t dare lay a hand on me,” Liu Limin stood in front of Pei Jinye, shouting at Moxigan.


    Instant laughter from the opposition ensued, clearly not taking the two of them seriously.


    “Damn, quite arrogant, huh. Brother Pei, I’m sorry, I’ll lead the way. You run as far as you can, don’t worry about me.”


    Liu Limin mumbled under his breath, turning his head and then suddenly his eyes widened in shock.


    Somehow, when no one noticed, Pei Jinye had a mobile phone in his hand, gesturing towards Moxigan, “Don’t look so down, crack a smile. I’ve got the latest V Di PRO phone here; the camera is so clear, it can catch every freckle on your face… Yeah, that’s right, everyone look here, let’s make a ‘yeah’ sign with our left hand, and draw a dragon with the right.”


    “What are you doing?” Moxigan’s face changed color.


    “I’m making a video call, no panic, they’re all acquaintances,” Pei Jinye said again, “Dean Lin, is this Moxigan one of our students? And these two beside him… Hey, Moxigan over there, don’t cover your face… Dean Lin, for stealing other people’s property, is that an immediate dismissal?”


    Lin Xiuxian’s voice came from the other end of the phone, “Lu Zhengting! Are you courting death?”


    Hearing this voice, Moxigan almost knelt down, stuttering, “Lin, Lin Xiuxian!”


    “Lu Zhengting!!!!”


    “It’s a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding, Dean Lin!!!” Moxigan hurriedly said, his demeanor doing a one hundred and eighty-degree turn towards the phone in Pei Jinye’s hand.


    Liu Limin was dumbfounded. As he passed by Moxigan and his group, he couldn’t help but look towards Pei Jinye… or more accurately, towards the fiercely threatening Lin Xiuxian on Pei Jinye’s phone screen.


    After leaving Snow Dragon Mountain.


    Liu Limin finally let out a long breath.


    He expressed deep gratitude to Lin Xiuxian on the other end of the phone and then turned to look at Pei Jinye, his admiration nearly written on his face, “Brother Pei, how did you know they were from our university?”


    “This age, near Snow Dragon Mountain… And did you see their formation? Isn’t it our university’s Black Dragon formation?”


    “Damn, genius, absolute genius.” Liu Limin realized that the moment he knew they were ambushed, his mindset was off, causing him to overlook many details.


    Looking at Pei Jinye again…


    The man saw through everything.


    Thinking of this, Liu Limin felt the gap between himself and Pei Jinye was only getting wider.


    “Brother Pei, I knew I could learn from following you… From now on, you’re my sworn father, ah spit, said it out of habit, from now on, you’re my big brother.”


    “…”


    Back in the city center.


    Liu Limin went to submit the mission and told Pei Jinye about splitting the academic credits before leaving.


    For Pei Jinye, the need for academic credits was no longer as desperate.


    For him, just graduating smoothly, then blending in with the crowd…


    Laying low and making strategies was enough.


    The vanities of the world held no appeal to him.


    At six in the afternoon.


    Pei Jinye quietly disappeared from the internet cafe, when he left, he was middle-aged, having changed to an utterly ordinary appearance.


    Although it might not fool trained personnel, it was enough.


    Pei Jinye was not one to use just a single disguise.


    At the agreed-upon location.


    A raspy voice came from behind the screen, “Friend, you’re late.”


    “It’s your watch that’s fast, my timing is just right,” Pei Jinye replied bluntly.


    Silence fell on the other side.


    Pei Jinye placed the case on the table, “I’ve brought the money. Where’s the merchandise?”


    He had secretly collected more Space Series materials.


    During this period,


    He had fallen in love with the days of cultivating with Talisman Beads.


    That spirit of being supreme above all, truly made one reluctant to part from it.


    “Check the money first.”


    The person behind said a phrase, and a stocky man built like a small mountain with an iron mask on his face emerged silently from behind the adjacent door curtain, walking up to Pei Jinye’s side.


    They exchanged a glance.


    Pei Jinye gestured for him to check and didn’t obstruct; he wasn’t afraid of any foul play, and even had a little anticipation.


    The burly man closed the box without a word and returned behind the door curtain, making hand signals.


    “Since my friend is straightforward, I won’t beat around the bush either,” the hoarse voice started, followed by the burly man bringing two boxes in front of Pei Jinye.


    He motioned with his hands, signaling Pei Jinye to check.


    Pei Jinye reached out to touch the boxes, of course, with leather gloves to block any poison–this cautious posture made the burly man slightly frown.


    “There are four pieces of Space Series refining materials,” the old man’s hoarse voice came at this moment, offering a brief explanation.


    Once Pei Jinye had closed the boxes, the elder suddenly spoke again, “Friend, do you have a dire need for Space Series refining materials?”


    Pei Jinye said nothing, his gaze remaining calm.


    The old man chuckled, saying politely, “Don’t blame me, just an offhand question, as I happen to have some as well.”


    “How much?” asked Pei Jinye.


    The old man chuckled, “How much do you need? However, this time I have a condition.”


    “Please speak, old master,” Pei Jinye was no longer in a hurry to leave.


    “From now on in the exchange, we can only trade goods for goods,” the old man said solemnly. “At our stage, money is just one aspect, but not the main thing. I want to barter, that’s not excessive, is it?”


    “Not excessive,” replied Pei Jinye, still calm. “I wonder what you want in return? Dan Medicine? Artifacts? Or a Cultivation Technique?”


    “Hm, do you have Dan Medicine?” asked the old man, clearly a bit taken aback.


    Seeing that Pei Jinye didn’t respond,


    The old man composed himself and spoke gravely, “If you have life-extending Dan Medicine in your possession, I will compensate you with three Space Series refining materials of better quality than the ones I just showed.”


    Pei Jinye playfully said, “Life-extending Dan Medicine isn’t something ordinary; three pieces are too few!”


    “So, you truly possess life-extending Dan Medicine?” The elder couldn’t stay seated any longer. Without waiting to continue, he suddenly began to cough violently.


    The burly man’s complexion changed slightly, and he quickly stepped forward.


    Hearing that there was something off about the elder’s cough, Pei Jinye stood up and walked in.


    He saw an elderly man with a yellow and withered face, his days apparently numbered… but Pei Jinye had been unaware until now because of some mystique.


    [This old master is an expert!]


    The guard’s expression instantly became wary as Pei Jinye entered, especially when Pei Jinye reached out to touch the elder. A growl akin to that of a wild beast came from the guard’s throat.


    But he was stopped by the withered elder, who grasped his arm and calmed him down.


    He looked towards Pei Jinye.


    Pei Jinye placed his hand on the elder’s arm and slightly raised an eyebrow, “You’ve managed to live until now with your condition; it’s no small feat. No wonder you need life-extending Dan Medicine. But if you ask me, distant water won’t quench an immediate thirst.”


    “You comprehend medical skills as well?” asked the old man.


    “I have a superficial understanding,” Pei Jinye’s gaze did not change as he let go of the hand, looking at the elder before him with a hint of sympathy. “You’ve been injured before, and the injuries were not slight. But you’ve recently aggravated the root cause, leading to a hopeless condition. However, I have a method.”


    The burly man obviously moved, grasped Pei Jinye’s arm, and spoke insistently, making gestures as if pleading for Pei Jinye to save the man.


    But he was patted on the arm by the withered elder.


    After the guard calmed down and looked over in confusion and anxiety, the elder slowly said, “Let’s hear what this gentleman has to say first; don’t rush. I’m well aware of how long I can last.”


    Then the withered elder looked toward Pei Jinye, “Sir, being able to diagnose my condition in just a few seconds means your medical skills are far beyond a mere superficial understanding. You’re being too modest… With my days numbered, I have mastered the art of artifact refining. As long as you can save me, dispersing all my refining materials is but a trivial matter.”


    Pei Jinye now had a silver needle in hand, “If I wanted to kill you, all I would need is this needle.”


    The burly man grew tense, but the elder responded with equanimity, “You’re not such a person; you could have chosen to look the other way.”


    “What if I said I was only greedy for your refining materials?”


    “…”


    The room suddenly fell silent.


    The elder chuckled dryly.


    But before he could say anything,


    The silver needle in Pei Jinye’s hand had already pricked the elder’s head, causing him to stiffen in place.


    In a panic, the guard gestured at Pei Jinye, [What have you done to him?]


    “Do you want him dead or alive? If he dies, we’ll split his things between us,” Pei Jinye said calmly, turning to look at the burly man.


    The guard was startled and then became infuriated, ready to attack.


    Pei Jinye chuckled lightly, “Such loyalty.”


    “Xiao Wu,” the elder’s voice rang out, surprising the guard who quickly turned to look; a speck of blood had appeared on the silver needle at the top of the elder’s head, but his voice now had more vitality than before.


    The guard approached and made a few gestures.


    The elder’s voice turned puzzled, “The gentleman was joking with you; apologize to him.”


    The guard hesitated.

    But he bowed and apologized to Pei Jinye sincerely.


    Pei Jinye said playfully, “I tested him for free, and although he’s a bit stiff, he’s truly loyal to you.”


    “You jest, sir,” the withered elder couldn’t quite figure out Pei Jinye’s temperament, finding him very inscrutable, but at this moment there was no time to think these thoughts, instead he said with surprise, “I must ask, what have you done? I feel my Vitality recovering.”


    “Relax, it won’t take long. By the way, have you ever heard of Soul Planting?”


    “???”
