Even though he had many Magical Artifacts and Talismans for self-preservation given by his Master, they were all useless in front of a Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator.
As a mere Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator, he could at most rely on these items to escape from a Spirit Nurturing Stage Cultivator.
Soul Transformation Stage… this was Soul Transformation Stage!
The key was that his Master had specifically instructed him.
"These things are enough to save your life. If you really are blind one day and provoke a Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator or higher, quickly find a mountainside, preferably with some trees around, so the feng shui will be better when you're buried."
Zhang Youcai looked around.
Where the hell was a mountain?
And, his Master probably couldn't come to this godforsaken place anyway!
He suddenly understood what those excavators and bulldozers were for.
They were all for digging his grave!
Zhang Youcai immediately knelt down.
"Senior, spare my life!"
He just wanted to slap himself twice now.
Su Xiaojiu was a good person, and everything she said was true; this world was indeed full of danger.
If only he had known… if only he had known, he should have just laid low and waited until the countdown in his mind ended; maybe then he really could have returned to Kyushu!
But now, he was actually stealing things on a Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator's territory. Wasn't he tired of living?
In Kyushu, the other party would have cut off his head!
Zhang Youcai regretted it so much, but it was too late to say anything now.
His life was no longer in his own hands.
"If you truly want me to spare your life, then reveal yourself quickly; don't hide your head and tail!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
At this point, there was no point in hiding anymore. Zhang Youcai was already confined, unable to move or teleport. He couldn't possibly escape.
He took off his Hidden Spirit Clothes, weeping bitterly.
"Senior, I was wrong! I was momentarily confused, Senior. I'm new to this world and truly didn't know this was your territory, Senior!"
This was the last life-saving technique his Master had taught him.
Begging for mercy.
The first step was to cry, begging for mercy while crying.
And the second step… was to play the victim!
"I have elders above me and children below, and at home, I have a wife whose Meridians were severed and Spiritual Root destroyed by mountain bandits, making her unable to Cultivate, whom I need to support. I just found the things in your world novel and wanted to take them back to exchange for some Spirit Stones, Senior! Please be merciful and let me go!"
Then came the third step.
Kowtowing!
The louder the kowtow, the better!
"Don't think that the old fellows in the Cultivation world look down on everything; in fact, they really like it when others bow down to them. If you kowtow to them, they will let you off."
His Master's teachings echoed in his ears. Zhang Youcai bowed down, slamming his head against the ground with loud thuds.
"Please be merciful, Senior!"
This was the complete "Three Life-Saving Forms."
Yuan Lihuan's forehead was covered in black lines.
"Is this what Jubao Daoren's Disciple is like?"
An Chen had not only told him in the text message that the tracker was following a Transcendent from Kyushu, but also that this Transcendent was a Disciple of the famous Jubao Daoren from the Kyushu Continent, making his identity quite high.
It was precisely because he knew this that Yuan Lihuan personally came out.
He also knew of Jubao Daoren, but he hadn't had the luck to encounter him and Selling Goods Immortal's "Selling Goods Convention."
Yuan Lihuan grabbed Zhang Youcai, placed his palm on his chest, and surged his spiritual power to Seal his Meridians.
Zhang Youcai immediately found that his spiritual power couldn't circulate, his Meridians were blocked, and his Dantian was sealed. In a few minutes, he would become a "Mortal" without spiritual power.
However, this was temporary; as long as the Seal was lifted, he would recover.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Senior, for sparing my life!"
Zhang Youcai kowtowed two more times with loud thuds.
His Master's teachings were indeed useful!
"Senior, may I presume to ask a question?"
His life was saved, so it was time to build rapport.
Yuan Lihuan nodded and put away his long saber.
"I see that there's almost no Spiritual Qi in our area. How did you Cultivate to this Realm?"
This was also something that puzzled him greatly.
"If you can come to our world, why can't we go to yours?"
Yuan Lihuan chuckled softly.
Zhang Youcai was startled.
Could people from this world actually go to Kyushu too?
To be able to Cultivate to this extent, this person must have stayed in Kyushu for decades!
"Senior, then you must also need Spirit Stones for your Cultivation, right? I have a little here, a small token of my respect… what about this matter today?"
He took out a qiankun bag and respectfully handed it to Yuan Lihuan.
Yuan Lihuan said nothing, only staring at Zhang Youcai with an expressionless face.
"These, these qiankun bags are all filled with things I stole. Please take them back!"
Zhang Youcai then took out five or six more qiankun bags, all filled with today's "results."
Of course, the gains from the previous two days were in another qiankun bag, which he hadn't taken out.
This time, Yuan Lihuan let out an "Mm" from his throat, took all the qiankun bags, and took out all the excavators and bulldozers from the bags.
This scene made the workers at the nearby construction site stare wide-eyed.
What kind of magic was this?
"What's going on with these two people? Are they here to do magic tricks?"
"I don't know…"
"I'll record a video."
"Hey, hey, hey, put down your phone!"
Zhang Wei suddenly appeared and stopped the worker who was raising his phone to take pictures.
"We are a confidential unit, performing official duties. Please do not film; please cooperate!"
Another person also ran over with the construction site manager, who also loudly reprimanded people to put away their phones.
"Put away all your phones! Do you want to go to the police station? Don't make trouble for yourselves!"
"Senior…"
When the qiankun bags were taken away just now, the qiankun bag containing the Spirit Stones was also taken, which gave Zhang Youcai hope. So he rubbed his hands with a smile and moved a little closer to Yuan Lihuan.
"You took this too, so…"
Yuan Lihuan glanced at him sideways.
"You're really not afraid of embarrassing your Master!"
"How could I! Besides, all of this was taught to me by my Master!"
Zhang Youcai scratched his head and said with a smile.
He could tell that Yuan Lihuan had no intention of killing him now.
This made things easier; as long as his life was saved, at most, he'd have to pay some things as compensation.
But none of that mattered; money, he could always earn back later.
"Your Master taught you this?"
"Hehe, my Master taught me a lot of things."
Zhang Youcai muttered to himself:
Jubao Daoren, that old man, didn't just teach; he showed him through practice.
Rather, these were all unconventional methods he had explored time and time again.
He had personally witnessed his Master use the so-called "Three Life-Saving Forms"!
The determination in that bowing down was something he would have to learn for a lifetime.
"Come with me, and I won't kill you."
"Alright!"
