Coincidentally, the route given by the Shopkeeper was the same one that Li Rui had taken when he first arrived.
However, the time it took to reach the destination was just a blink of an eye. Why did it take Li Rui such a long time? Li Rui scratched his head, feeling a bit confused about everything that had just happened.
"You are..."
"Oh! It's like this, the Shopkeeper of that gilded shop asked me to fetch a pig!" Li Rui felt a bit embarrassed to say it; asking for a "pig" was somewhat awkward!
"Just you alone? Cleansing the Marrow to the Seventh Layer, and you want to fetch a 'pig'? Isn't that a bit far-fetched?"
Li Rui frowned slightly. Was it really as difficult as he imagined? He couldn't believe there was such a thing.
"Instead of laughing, why not take me over to have a look first?"
The person grinned, and his smile revealed a hint of lewdness, suggesting several meanings.
After three breaths, they had already arrived at a pigpen.
"This must be the one that your Shopkeeper mentioned! If it seems okay, go ahead and take it!" He pointed to the pig at the back.
Li Rui walked in, feeling bewildered, with a confused expression on his face that he didn't know how to convey.
The sound of "oink oink" was particularly loud! The surrounding pigs hadn't been slaughtered yet, and suddenly there was such a loud noise; it was really...
Li Rui approached the door and pried open the lock. Suddenly, the entire world became quiet. Could there be something unusual inside?
Before Li Rui could open the door, "it" had already opened by itself, which was quite bizarre.
The sound of "oink oink" echoed again, as if all the surrounding pigs were afraid of the creature coming out from inside.
In the next moment, Li Rui swallowed the saliva in his mouth; this "pig" was truly enormous.
It was several times larger than Li Rui himself, and its eyes seemed to look down on him with disdain.
Moreover, this "pig" was black, with a bizarre tuft of hair on its head that seemed to flaunt its various features. It was nothing short of a "bandit pig."
It was difficult enough for Wu Geng to bring it over; Little did they know that Liu Geng would find it challenging as well.
Even Li Rui felt looked down upon by the pig, and he didn't quite know how to handle that feeling.
Now, without any weapons in hand, relying solely on his bare hands made things quite troublesome!
"There’s no other way! I can only use Wind Extreme Finger."
Little did they know that before Li Rui could regain his composure, the bandit pig had already begun its attack.
He couldn't tell if it had horns on its head, but it charged straight at Li Rui as if he were the sworn enemy of its family.
Li Rui frowned involuntarily. He pushed off with his back foot and swung his hand; the two collided.
Even the latter hadn't expected the strength of this bandit pig to be so formidable. He had exerted all his strength, yet under such a powerful impact, Li Rui had no choice but to take a few steps back.
With a thud, Li Rui's heel hit the wall. If he didn't subdue it quickly, things could get a bit troublesome since there were many pigs around!
Li Rui's hands gripped the pig's head tightly, but he couldn't find even a little space to maneuver.
Suddenly, Li Rui realized that his eye training was related to dragons. Perhaps he could use his eyes to try and exert some pressure on it.
Maybe he could achieve an unexpected effect.
Li Rui acted according to his own thoughts, and in a daze, their eyes met.
Li Rui was fine, but the bandit pig suddenly seemed to be startled by something, its whole body stiffened, not daring to move at all, afraid of provoking something it shouldn't.
The person standing next to Li Rui suddenly stopped smiling, their heart filled with confusion, and they froze in place, staring blankly at the confrontation between the person and the creature.
"Get out of my way!"
The bandit pig seemed to understand Li Rui's words, as if it dared not utter a single "no" in response.
"Thank you! We'll just be on our way."
Yet it stood there dumbfounded, watching Li Rui's departing figure, filled with disbelief while the reality unfolded before its eyes.
Even a Golden Core expert could not defend against the bandit pig, yet it was suddenly taken away by a young man at the seventh level of Cleansing the Marrow.
Moreover, the bandit pig seemed to be afraid to get too close to Li Rui, even avoiding making eye contact.
The incident occurred in just a short while; when they arrived at the gold-plated pawnshop, it was already dawn.
Li Rui felt a hint of suspicion; everything seemed too coincidental. The power he had just displayed was not something an ordinary person could withstand. Moreover, having a Cleansing Realm individual come over to handle it was not something that could be accomplished alone.
However, arriving at this time coincided with the early morning hours when the shopkeeper was present. Everything appeared to be mere coincidence, yet it sparked a slight wariness in Li Rui's heart.
"Just leave it there; this item is yours now."
Li Rui took the gold powder from the assistant and left in a daze. As he walked along, he turned back and noticed that the latter's eyes seemed to meet someone else's gaze. That feeling seemed...
"Forget it!" Li Rui murmured as he held the gold powder and arrived at Dingxiang's home.
The surroundings were incredibly quiet; it seemed everyone was asleep! Meanwhile, I was utterly exhausted and decided to finish that Double Ring first.
"I can't afford to mess with that old lady," Li Rui murmured.
He then picked up the silver-black Double Ring, channeling a strand of True Qi through his hands. By repeatedly intertwining it, he had already formed a mass of Qi in Li Rui's hands.
At that moment, a sense of tension arose within him; he was just one step away. How could he not be excited about his first creation?
In the blink of an eye, he tossed and scattered the golden powder, which now covered the entire surface of the Double Ring. Next, he would blend the freshly gathered Qi, and that would be a job well done.
At the same time, he was unaware that Mo Ruxi had been observing him from nearby, taking in every movement without him realizing it.
"It really is him! I knew I wasn't wrong about the person I chose," Mo Ruxi murmured, her words tinged with excitement.
Li Rui looked at the Double Ring in his hands, feeling a kind of excitement that he didn't know how to express.
