I Can Unlimited Skill Points Novel - Chapter 88

A gust of wind blew past, and some sand hit his face.

Chen Yiming narrowed his eyes and turned to leave.

“My friend, wait a moment.” Liu Liyuan hurriedly stopped him.

“Is something the matter?” Chen Yiming pretended to be confused.

“I heard that you are looking for the purple lightning stone, is that right?” Liu Liyuan asked directly.

“That’s right,” Chen Yiming replied.

Although he had gone straight to the Liu clan after leaving the trading center, he had made some inquiries while shopping at the stalls. It was inevitable that he would reveal what he was after to the stall owners.

Those with a quick mind would immediately sell this information to the Liu clan.

There was nothing strange about that.

“Coincidentally, there is a treasure similar to the purple lightning stone in the Liu clan’s treasure vault. Take it as an apology for Wanqing’s rash actions,” Liu Liyuan said in a low voice.

Chen Yiming fell silent and pretended to consider it.

If it was a treasure like the purple lightning stone, it was very likely that the original plan was to offer it to the Tongbeiquan School.

The Tongbeiquan School might not have given a clear response yet, but they might have already decided that this item belonged to them.

If that was the case, and Liu Liyuan gave him this treasure as an apology, not only would it split the two martial arts schools, but it would also implicate Chen Yiming.

After the Tongbeiquan School found out about this, they would be a hundred percent sure that Liu Wanqing and Chen Yiming had a special relationship. They would definitely shift their attention to Chen Yiming.

They might even guess that Chen Yiming had deliberately helped Liu Wanqing hide her whereabouts.

About a minute passed.

“Let’s go take a look.” Chen Yiming nodded.

With his strength, he had the complete upper hand.

As long as he obtained a treasure similar to the purple lightning stone, he could pretend to be cultivating in seclusion for a period of time.

He could then publicly announce that he was a warrior candidate who had broken through to the ninth transformation the moment he came out from his cultivation. No matter how much the Tongbeiquan School disliked him, they could not do anything about him then.

It was impossible for the head to cause trouble for someone like him who was from the next generation just because of such a minor disagreement.

Worse come to worst, his true level was in the warrior realm. What was there for him to be afraid of?

“Please do.” Liu Liyuan’s clouded eyes suddenly lit up, and his entire aura changed.

The two of them entered the villa one after another and went to Liu Liyuan’s study.

The study was very spacious, about 100 square meters in size. It was decorated in a traditional style.

There were three rows of bookshelves inside, each filled with books.

“Let’s sit down and have a cup of tea first. I’ve already instructed my eldest son, Liu Daolong, to go to the treasure vault to retrieve the treasure.” Liu Liyuan invited Chen Yiming to sit opposite him at the desk and made some tea.

The two of them chatted for a while before Liu Daolong knocked on the door and entered.

He was about 25 or 26 years old and was well-built. His large eyes were similar to his father’s, except that the expression in his eyes were pure and innocent instead of sly.

As soon as he entered, he said, “Dad, I object to giving this lightning wood to Chen Yiming. What about the Tongbeiquan School? This is the only treasure in our clan that the Tongbeiquan School expressed interest in.”

Chen Yiming looked up and observed the person who had entered the room.

He thought to himself that Liu Daolong was too honest and straightforward. His words had completely exposed Liu Liyuan’s intentions.

Did they not discuss it beforehand or was he trying to deliberately ruin his father’s plan?

“Put down the things, then you can leave first,” Liu Liyuan suddenly scolded him with a displeased expression.

Liu Daolong’s expression froze and he stopped in his tracks.

In the end, he did not dare to say anything more. He placed a wooden box on the desk and turned to leave.

“My young friend, my eldest son has been cultivating at home for a long time. He doesn’t go out much or know much about things. Don’t take it to heart.” Liu Liyuan pushed the wooden box towards Chen Yiming.

Chen Yiming lowered his head and looked at the wooden box.

There was a golden ribbon tied to the surface of the wooden box. It was unknown what kind of precious wood was used to make the box, but it had a nice, warm color.

Upon opening the wooden box, he saw a cylindrical piece of charred wood.

“Is this the lightning wood?” Chen Yiming asked doubtfully.

This lightning wood looked no different from an ordinary branch that had been struck by lightning.

“That’s right. This is the lightning wood, taken from a special tree in the otherworld.

The reason why it doesn’t look special is because no one in the Liu clan dared to try it out. The power of lightning stored in it had already dissipated naturally over time.

You only need to wait for a thunderstorm. You don’t have to go to the otherworld, it’s enough to stay on the blue planet. Place the lightning wood on the peak of a mountain in the thunderstorm.

The lightning wood can naturally attract lightning to strike down on it and automatically replenish the power of the lightning in it,” Liu Liyuan said with a smile.

Chen Yiming looked up and asked, “There are a number of cracks in this piece of wood. Will it be destroyed after just a few uses?”

“I don’t know about that. After all, since obtaining this lightning wood, I have not dared to try it out,” Liu Liyuan said bluntly, not hiding anything.

“Got it. Then I’ll leave first.” Chen Yiming nodded.

He tied the golden ribbon around the wooden box again and stuffed it into his pocket. Then, he stood up and walked out the door.

Liu Liyuan opened his mouth but didn’t say anything in the end. He stood up and walked Chen Yiming to the entrance of the villa, then watched him leave.

In the training hall of the Tongbeiquan School, Xie Quan and the other two core disciples were packing their things and stuffing some equipment for surviving in the wilderness into their backpacks.

Suddenly, a phone rang.

“Hello, Auntie. What’s the matter… Alright, I’ll do it,” Xie Quan said seriously into the phone.

Xie Quan and Meng Tai were cousins, and the two of them were training at the same martial arts school.

“A call from your family?” Ren Zhengxin slung his backpack over his shoulder and walked over to him.

He was wearing a short-sleeved training robe, revealing the outline of his firm muscles. Coupled with his buzz cut, just standing in front of him would put an invisible pressure on anyone.

“Yes, my aunt only has one son, Meng Tai. She asked me to kill that woman, Liu Wanqing, and make her pay for his death with her life,” Xie Quan whispered.

Zhang Shaoshou had also packed up his equipment and walked over with a smile. “Xie Quan, the three of us at the level of the sixth transformation will take action together. As long as we find traces of Liu Wanqing, I can’t think of any way for her to escape from us.”

He was only wearing a pair of long pants, and his muscular upper body was naked, with a tiger head tattooed on his chest. He gave off a wild and violent aura.

“With the help from the two of you, of course there won’t be any problem,” Xie Quan said gratefully.

As soon as he finished speaking, his phone rang again.

“Hello, Liu Daolong, what’s the matter?” Xie Quan asked through the phone.

In a room in the Liu clan’s villa, Liu Daolong sealed all the doors and windows to ensure that no one would hear him before he made the call.

“Brother Xie, there’s a problem on my side. The lightning wood has been given to Chen Yiming,” Liu Daolong said.

Liu Daolong and Xie Quan could be considered ordinary friends. Therefore, after this incident happened in the Liu clan, he went straight to Xie Quan and asked him for help to plead for leniency from his school.

He had also discussed with Xie Quan about using the lightning wood as compensation. Xie Quan would take on the task of capturing Liu Wanqing, and the lightning wood would naturally be given to Xie Quan.

However, something had happened to change the plan. Liu Liyuan had already given the lightning wood to Chen Yiming, so Liu Daolong could only tell him the truth, hoping that Xie Quan would direct his anger towards Chen Yiming
