48: Punishment? This is clearly a reward!

As Li Yi spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, the entire hall fell silent again, everyone looking at Li Yi with shocked eyes.

At such a young age, he could utter such words, each one powerful and decisive.

He had long surpassed the courage and demeanor expected of his age, making them see the shadow of a young hero, and they couldn't help but think:

This child will surely be a young hero in the future.

"Young Master Li Yi truly lives up to his reputation as a heavenly figure, with extraordinary bearing."

After a round of praise, everyone began to flatter Li Yi.

They were not angry because of Li Yi's actions; instead, they marveled and praised him, feeling even more that Li Yi was worth befriending and winning over.

Li Yi saw their reactions and breathed a sigh of relief; this was the charm of Peerless Charm.

"On Young Master Li Yi, I see the shadow of a young hero, which truly makes me feel ashamed of my inferiority."

"You? How can you compare to Young Master Li Yi? At Young Master Li Yi's age, you were probably still wetting your pants."

"As the saying goes, a hero deserves a beauty. Although Young Master Li Yi's fiancée has her own ideas, Second Madam can still consider my humble daughter..."

"Get lost! How dare you? With your bear-like appearance, how beautiful can your daughter be? Young Master Li Yi, look at my daughter, she is a perfect match for you!"

The scene suddenly became lively again, even more boisterous than before.

They all wanted to get on the Li Family's ship; if they didn't get on now, they wouldn't even have a chance to get a share later—they realized this more clearly after Li Yi's words.

They desperately wanted to establish some connection with the Li Family, even if it meant sending their daughters to be Li Yi's concubines.

This was the world where the strong reigned supreme, the privileged treatment of a Genius.

"Slowly, one by one, don't rush." Li Yuntian's face once again showed the same smile as before, the corners of his mouth upturned, harder to suppress than an AK, even the Crooked-Mouth Dragon King would want to become his Disciple upon seeing it.

Seeing this scene, Li Yi was speechless. His original intention was to stop it, but it was getting worse?

Forget it, too lazy to bother, just go with the flow.

"Little fellow, your charm is truly great."

Li Xue'er sighed.

"Sister, if you were choosing a husband, your charm would definitely be greater than mine." Li Yi joked.

Thump!

Li Xue'er tapped Li Yi's head: "You little fellow, you've actually learned to tease your older sister. Who did you learn from? Not learning well, you need to be punished! I'll punish you by pinching my sister's face for an hour!"

Is this a punishment for me? It's clearly a reward for you!

One hour!?

My face would be pinched into a zongzi, I decisively refused.

"No!"

"Still daring to talk back to your sister, don't run!"

Li Xue'er grabbed Li Yi, transforming into a ruthless face-pinching machine.

[Counterattack Mission Completed: Under your Peerless Charm, Qiu Lingmeng quickly fell for you. In her heart, you are a supreme, sacred, and inviolable existence. Being with you is her luck in this life!]

[Reward obtained: Grass and Wood Affinity, Essence of Alchemy]

[Grass and Wood Affinity: Possesses affinity with all Grass and Wood, will not produce rejection, can better master and utilize Grass and Wood, understand the roots of Grass and Wood, and when absorbing Grass and Wood resources, absorb all of it without wasting a single trace of Medicinal Pill power]

[Essence of Alchemy: Master the Essence of Alchemy. Refining any Medicinal Pill will make the Medicinal Pill's effect reach its extreme. At the same time, your Alchemy time will be shorter than normal and easier.]

Li Yi: "!!!"

Indeed!

It had to be Qiu Lingmeng! This was the main storyline of the unengagement counterattack plot!

Two rewards, and these rewards were amazing!

Absorbing resources always incurred consumption and could not be completely absorbed. Even the most Prodigy Genius could not do it, and even Li Yi currently could not, but Grass and Wood Affinity gave Li Yi this ability.

In addition, the affinity with Grass and Wood allowed Li Yi to ignore the repulsive properties of medicinal materials when refining Medicinal Pills.

Some medicinal materials have conflicting properties and cannot be used together in Alchemy, which would cause the furnace to explode. However, Li Yi didn't need to consider any of this; he just needed to put in the medicinal materials and finish the Alchemy. As for what could be refined, he didn't know.

There was also Essence of Alchemy, the Alchemist, a profession that was rich and lucrative.

Coming to a Xuanhuan world, if you don't become an Alchemist, how can you even claim to be a Transmigrator?

These two rewards were just the beginning. Qiu Lingmeng, for Li Yi, was a mine that could be dug for at least another two and a half years.

Qiu Lingmeng stood meekly to the side, not daring to move, fearing she would make a mistake. Noticing Li Yi's 'evil' gaze, Qiu Lingmeng shrank her neck.

Wife Selection Assembly, audience.

Those who participated were cheering for their daughters or Disciples, while those who watched the show all showed expressions of astonishment, their brows tightly furrowed, with only two words in their eyes:

Envy, truly f*cking envious!

Lived most of their lives, yet not as enjoyable as a little brat!

"This child must not be allowed to live!"

Song Changfeng's eyes were gloomy, staring intently at Li Yi.

"If this child grows up, he will surely be a disaster for our two families, Brother Song, no matter what your plan is, do it quickly."

"Brother Wang, rest assured." Song Changfeng flicked his sleeves and left. He had only come to probe the situation and saw no need to linger.

At this moment, the happiest person was undoubtedly Qiu Lingmeng's father, Autumn Dawn Dream, who excitedly ran over.

He first bowed to Li Yuntian, and then began to exchange pleasantries, making others envious.

"The Qiu Family truly picked up a huge bargain; they actually managed to snatch it ahead of time." Yue Zhenghong sighed.

"Some people wanted to snatch it but couldn't." Zhang Zhiyuan unhurriedly took a sip of tea.

"You too."

Yue Zhenghong looked at Zhang Zhiyuan with a strange expression, but seeing that Zhang Zhiyuan was not anxious, his mind raced, and he roughly guessed the reason.

He tentatively asked: "I heard that Li Yi can translate ancient scripture, and your Qi is much stronger than before. Li Yan's Breakthrough, could it all be related to that ancient scripture? Did Li Yi translate it?"

Yue Zhenghong had a very terrifying idea, connecting these things together, it made perfect sense.

The more he thought about it, the more horrifying it became; Li Yi's value was still rising.

He continued: "You don't seem anxious. I guess you've already reached some kind of agreement or relationship with them, haven't you?"

Zhang Zhiyuan thought that Yue Zhenghong had some skill, being able to guess roughly from clues.

He smiled and said: "Our relationship with Li Yi, don't guess, I won't tell you."

Yue Zhenghong chuckled, looking at Zhang Zhiyuan's expression, he should have guessed pretty accurately.

He had already lost the initiative in this matter. If Li Yi truly translated the entire ancient scripture, allowing Li Yan to Breakthrough to Martial Venerable.

The Li Family and Baiyun Temple were flourishing. If his Yue Mountain Sect couldn't get a share, wouldn't they fall behind? He had to think about it.

"Where do you think Li Yi will go in the future?" Yue Zhenghong suddenly asked.

"It's hard to say. Li Yi's talent is unprecedented, never seen before. I'm afraid no one can say for sure how far he will go." Zhang Zhiyuan shook his head.

Yue Zhenghong said: "In addition, we must ensure he can find that step."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Zhang Zhiyuan smiled.

"My Yue Mountain Sect is willing to escort Li Yi's growth. We are on the same boat. Share your ancient scripture, won't you?" Yue Zhenghong said shamelessly.

"None! Get out!"
