113: Section 113
However, after nightfall, every place would become cold and desolate.
And it would be accompanied by danger, fear, and death...
"Lei Hu, I've arrived at the park gate. Which way should I go?"
Lin Yi took out his phone and called Lei Hu.
"Lei Hu, just keep walking straight along that road. I'll go to the roadside to wait for you.
Don't worry, this Old Beggar is lying on a bench sleeping; he can't run away!"
Lei Hu said hurriedly.
After speaking, Lin Yi hung up the phone and continued walking inside along the main path from the entrance.
It took only about ten minutes before he saw the burly Lei Hu from afar.
He was looking around anxiously.
When he saw Lin Yi, he hurriedly waved his arms and shouted loudly.
"Lei Hu, over here, over here..."
A man in his thirties, looking big and rough,
was there gesticulating and shouting.
The crucial point was that the person he called "Lei Hu" was just a high school senior.
This drew sidelong glances from many people around.
Some even subconsciously wanted to stay further away from Lin Yi.
The key was that Lei Hu didn't look like a good person at all...
Lin Yi hurried up to Lei Hu: "Alright, stop shouting. People who don't know better would think we're criminals meeting up.
Where is the Old Beggar? Where is he?"
"Lei Hu, follow me!"
After Lei Hu finished speaking, he walked into the small woods behind him.
Lin Yi didn't think too much and followed him directly.
There were also some long benches for tourists to rest in the small woods.
The park had a beautiful and pleasant environment, with an artificial lake in the middle.
A dozen small boats drifted on the lake, with tourists sitting on them, chatting and laughing.
A gentle breeze blew by, bringing the fragrant scent of flowers and grass.
"Lei Hu, that's the Old Beggar who cheated me out of my money back then!"
After walking for a short while, Lei Hu pointed to a person lying on a long bench not far away.
He looked quite old.
His hair and beard were white, and his face was etched with the marks of time.
His clothes didn't look particularly ragged; they were completely different from what one would imagine a beggar would wear.
He was wearing a black jacket, though it was already very dirty.
He wore a pair of jeans, and their original color was no longer discernible.
On his feet were a pair of sneakers that had already yellowed...
Lin Yi and Lei Hu arrived in front of the Old Beggar.
They discovered that the clothes he was wearing looked a bit dirty and old.
However, there was no unpleasant smell.
Especially his hair and beard; they seemed to be groomed frequently.
He did not have the slovenly image of those beggars or homeless people.
"Hey, old man, my Lei Hu is here. Stop pretending to sleep!"
Just as Lin Yi was about to speak,
Lei Hu pushed the Old Beggar without any courtesy.
And he said in a very blunt tone.
The next moment, the Old Beggar, who had been lying there with his eyes tightly closed, slowly opened them.
When he saw two people in front of him,
the Old Beggar seemed to be quite frightened; he hurriedly curled up his legs and covered his head with his arms.
He said repeatedly: "Don't, don't hit me, don't hit me..."
Chapter 98: Nine-Bag Elder, Bestowed upon the Fated
The Old Beggar's appearance
made Lei Hu's expression sink. He stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar.
He said viciously: "Pretending, you f*cking still pretending? When you were cheating people back then, why weren't you like this? Now you know to be afraid?"
"I... I... I didn't cheat anyone. Who did I cheat?"
The Old Beggar was pulled up from the bench by Lei Hu.
The panic from just a moment ago vanished instantly.
Instead, he became calm and said to Lei Hu with a smile.
And while they were talking,
Lin Yi saw several talent tags above the Old Beggar's head.
[Nine-Bag Beggar: Has a very high seniority in the Beggar Sect, belongs to the Advanced management, and possesses an impressive status]
[Wisdom Fruit (Purple): Possesses good innate wisdom, naturally intelligent and superior to others]
[Harvesting Dao (Purple): When the Dao fruit matures, someone will come to harvest it]
[Way of Commerce (Purple): Possesses impressive business acumen]
[Canon of the Hundred Schools (Gold): Extensive knowledge, possesses the ability to never forget what one has read, a walking library]
Above the head of an Old Beggar,
there actually appeared so many talent tags.
And every talent had reached the Purple or Gold quality.
Especially the identity of this Old Beggar, a Nine-Bag Elder of the Beggar Sect? Then his identity was not simple.
Just as Lei Hu was still pulling the Old Beggar's collar, wanting to discuss the matter of being cheated many years ago,
Lin Yi hurriedly patted Lei Hu's hand: "Lei Hu, don't be so impulsive. Let me talk to him, alright?"
Hearing this, although Lei Hu was still somewhat unwilling,
he still let go of the Old Beggar's collar and stood to the side, fuming.
Lin Yi said with a light smile: "Old man, we have no malicious intent coming here; we mainly just want to purchase a Cultivation Technique or Martial Skill from you!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Old Beggar looked at Lin Yi deeply.
The glint in his eyes was completely different from when he looked at Lei Hu.
He seemed to have noticed something; his eyes flickered, and he nodded with the corners of his mouth raised.
"Hahaha... Kid, I'm a beggar; aren't you afraid that I'm a swindler? Just like that guy, how many years has it been, and he still comes to settle the score with me?"
The person the Old Beggar mentioned was naturally Lei Hu.
However, Lin Yi was very clear that the [Galaxy Qi Transformation Technique] that the Old Beggar sold to Lei Hu was definitely not something useless.
On the contrary, the Cultivation Technique contained unfathomable power.
Today's Lin Yi was relying on this Cultivation Technique to gradually Cultivate his Qi and blood.
And as his Realm became higher, he discovered more and more that
this [Galaxy Qi Transformation Technique] was not that simple.
It even contained the entire galaxy, and behind it, perhaps even the entire Dao.
It was just that with his current cultivation, he could not yet fully comprehend so much.
He could only slowly explore it after raising his cultivation.
"Not afraid. The books the old man sells are fairly priced and honest!" Lin Yi smiled and shook his head.
As a result, the Old Beggar threw his head back and laughed.
"Hahaha, fairly priced and honest? Good, good, good. Just for this sentence you said, kid, it shows that the two of us are fated. Choose one for yourself!"
After speaking, the Old Beggar took out a tattered cloth bag from under him.
He reached into the bag and searched for a long time.
Finally, he took out a few books and handed them to Lin Yi.
"I have Cultivation Techniques here, and I also have Martial Skills. The prices are all different, but I have one rule: one person can only buy one book; I won't sell more!"
"Take a look yourself, choose whichever one you want. Once you've chosen, I'll tell you the price!"
After the Old Beggar finished speaking,
Lei Hu raised an eyebrow and stared, saying: "Old thing, what do you mean by 'tell the price after choosing'? Isn't this just cheating people?"
"Just these few broken books, I'll give you fifty yuan, that's enough..."
Lei Hu took out a fifty-yuan note from his pocket and handed it to the Old Beggar.
As a result, the Old Beggar couldn't even be bothered to look at him.
"Our fate is exhausted. Even if you give me money, I won't accept it."
