"Primordial, just you wait for me. Master of the Evil Eye, just you wait for me. The moment I set foot in the Primordial, the world will be turned upside down."
The ground was littered with empty wine jars. No one knew how much they had drunk.
Qin Yi had a lot, holding a wine jar and shouting wildly, with a crazed expression.
"Hahaha, bold words... Come, drink, I'm waiting to see you turn the Primordial upside down," Ning Tian laughed, clinking his jar with Qin Yi, and the two of them tilted their heads back to gulp it down.
Qin Yi wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth, "Just wait and see. I want everyone in the Primordial to tremble at the sound of my name. I want the master of the Evil Eye to regret choosing me."
"Bang!"
Qin Yi suddenly smashed the wine jar into pieces.
"I'm off. When I return from the Primordial, we'll continue drinking, farewell!"
Qin Yi staggered forward.
Qin Mu slightly raised the corner of his mouth, smiling gently, "Qin Yi, we'll be waiting for you to come back."
Qin Yi didn't look back, just waved his hand.
Qin Mu raised his hand, and a vortex appeared before Qin Yi, who stepped into it without hesitation.
With a blink, Qin Yi found himself in the Sand Sea.
He turned back to look at the fading traces of the Golden Mountain, waved his hand, "Wait for me to come back and continue drinking with you guys."
Finishing this, he used Energy Movement to dispel his drunkenness, and his expression immediately cleared up.
Then, choosing a direction, he dashed towards Sand City.
...
"Boss, a bowl of tofu pudding, and make sure to add more tofu pudding,"
At a tofu pudding stall in Sand City, Qin Yi called out to the busy boss.
"Alright, more tofu pudding..." The stall owner turned his head to take a look, then turned back, hesitated, glanced back at Qin Yi, blinked a few times, and then his face filled with anger, "It's you? You still dare to come back?"
The stall owner was none other than Lin Zhengnan, the City Lord of Sand City. This old man, being unproductive, was still selling tofu pudding, and business seemed to be good.
Back then, when Qin Yi left the Great Gorge, he had ruthlessly swindled Lin Zhengnan, tricking him out of a thousand Earth Spirit Stones.
So, seeing Qin Yi made Lin Zhengnan furious.
Qin Yi tapped on the table, smiling, "Hey, hey, hey, customers are like gods, is this how you treat gods? Your attitude is terrible; be careful, I'll give you a bad review."
"You, a person with such poor character, still dare to give me a bad review. Who cares about you," Lin Zhengnan said, skillfully preparing a bowl of tofu pudding and placing it heavily in front of Qin Yi, "A hundred Gold Coins, thank you."
Qin Yi laughed and cursed, "Are you robbing me? With a hundred Gold Coins, I could buy your whole stall. Besides, I try before I buy; if it's tasty, I'll pay, but if it's not, who would pay you?"
Saying this, he picked up the tofu pudding and gulped it down.
Lin Zhengnan sat opposite Qin Yi, extending his hand, "You're done, pay up."
"This tofu pudding is too difficult to handle. If it upsets my stomach, I'll have to ask you to cover my medical expenses," Qin Yi said, full of disdain.
Lin Zhengnan gritted his teeth, "If it's so bad, why did you finish it all?"
"Actually, it's not just bad, but the portion is too small. I only had one bite, and it's gone. You, the grand City Lord of Sand City, are running such a place? Give me another bowl, and if it's good, I'll definitely pay."
Lin Zhengnan's eyes bulged, "It's enough that you eat one bowl for free; you want to eat two bowls for free?"
"You fool," Qin Yi laughed and cursed, standing up to help himself.
Lin Zhengnan didn't stop him. If he did, and the two started fighting, his stall would be ruined.
Qin Yi helped himself to a bowl and sat back down.
Lin Zhengnan watched Qin Yi warily, "What are you back for this time? I'm telling you, the City Lord's Mansion is cleaner than my face now, there's no more Earth Spirit Stone."
"Come on, are you suggesting I came back just to swindle your Earth Spirit Stones? Am I that kind of person? Where's the basic trust between people?"
Lin Zhengnan looked at Qin Yi contemptuously, "You talk big. Then return the thousand Earth Spirit Stones you swindled from me last time."
"Old Lin, you saying that offends me. What do you mean swindled? I swapped it with a vein of Earth Spirit Stones, didn't I? Honestly, you made a huge profit off that vein, right?"
"Nonsense, it was just a useless vein, not a single Earth Spirit Stone was found."
"Hehe!" Qin Yi clearly didn't believe him.
Lin Zhengnan watched Qin Yi warily, "Speak up, what are you back for this time?"
"This time, firstly to see you. Secondly, there's something I need..."
"First reason is enough, I don't want to hear the second. You've seen me, let's consider the tofu pudding on me, eat up and head off. Please don't come back again; we're not at a stage where we'd miss each other after not seeing for a while."
Qin Yi squinted his eyes, "Old Lin, you saying that disappoints me. I don't even know what I might do when I'm disappointed."
"What do you plan to do?" Lin Zhengnan's eyes brimmed with caution.
"Can you be decent? I'm genuinely here to ask for a favor."
"No loans, I don't have any."
Qin Yi was surprised, "What the heck?"
"Aren't you here to borrow Earth Spirit Stones?"
Qin Yi gnashed his teeth, "Old Lin, I'm trying to avoid getting rough this time. So, I'm begging you, chat nicely with me. You can't beat me now, don't force me to wipe the floor with you; that would embarrass you as the City Lord."
Lin Zhengnan sneered, "Wipe the floor with me? Try it! I've long wanted to teach you a lesson."
Qin Yi suddenly raised his hand, and an invisible force instantly sealed off the area around Lin Zhengnan.
Lin Zhengnan's expression changed drastically. He realized his entire cultivation was completely suppressed, unable to move. He was shocked at how terrifying Qin Yi's cultivation had become in such a short time.
Qin Yi waved his hand, and the force confining Lin Zhengnan vanished instantly.
"How about it, Old Lin? Wanna try being beaten up in front of everyone?"
Lin Zhengnan ground his teeth, "No need. Did you consume some kind of spiritual elixir? Your cultivation progress is ridiculously fast."
"Qi Refiners are of two kinds: geniuses, like me, who can cultivate at lightning speed; and fools, like you, who remain stagnant, stuck in the same spot for ten years."
Lin Zhengnan angrily said, "Did you come just to belittle me?"
"No, I'm here to ask you for a favor."
"Anything but borrowing Earth Spirit Stones, we can talk about."
Qin Yi rolled his eyes dramatically, "You're the stingiest City Lord I've ever met."
"And you're the most shameless scoundrel I've ever met."
Qin Yi: "..."
"Fine, for the sake of needing your help, I'll forgive you this time."
Lin Zhengnan cautiously asked, "Okay, what do you want help with?"
Qin Yi earnestly said, "I have a group of subordinates, a hundred people in total, each with extraordinary talent, but they still need honing. I want to entrust them to you, to train them in the Sand Sea for a year."
"Is that all?" Lin Zhengnan was a bit surprised. For him, this was good news; having more people in the Sand Sea meant more strength.
Qin Yi nodded, "Yes, that's why I came."
Lin Zhengnan solemnly responded, "That's not a problem. But you know, the Sand Sea is fraught with danger, I can't guarantee..."
"Life and death are determined by fate. As long as they're not killed by someone, I won't blame you. Also, I want you to send them to the most dangerous places."
Lin Zhengnan paused for a moment, thought quietly, then seriously said, "Alright, I agree."
