I Can Extract Everything

Qin Yi looked at Murong Qian Jun with admiration and said, "You sure know a lot, Brother Murong. That's amazing!"

Gao Peng also nodded. Even though he had many friends, he was still oblivious to many major things that happened in the cultivation circle.

No one does not likes to be praised. Murong Qian Jun is no exception. He proudly said, "Of course. Do you think my family only opens a restaurant for money? The Immortal Phoenix House is not just a place to eat. It's also a place to gather information..."

"What's more, all the guests here are not ordinary cultivators; even the Qi Condensation Realm cultivators here each have impressive backgrounds. Therefore, what they talk about is usually not a regular conversation. While they are busy eating and chatting, all the workers here are busy gathering information that leaks from the guests' mouths. Thanks to that, our family knows a lot about the major events that happened in the cultivation circle..."

While the three were chitchatting, the Ring Battle battle had already begun.

Qin Yi's gaze quickly descended into the Ring Battle.

Presently, the robust middle-aged man that entered the ring was already locked in combat with the teenager.

As his cultivation base was higher than his opponent's, he was already very confident that he could win this battle.

However, while they exchanged fists, the robust middle-aged man found that he could not end this match smoothly.

When the two of them fought, punches and kicks went to and fro as spiritual qi around them raged, which caused one to be dazzled by this sight.

The teenager's moves are so fast and smooth. Every attack he gives is directed to the robust middle-aged man's vital parts.

As confident as the robust middle-aged man, he eventually loses his cool.

"Damn, you brat!" Suddenly, the robust middle-aged man abruptly emitted an enraged roar that was like a fierce beast, and it was as if he'd gone mad as he pounced towards the teenager.

On the contrary, the teenager's expression remains calm as he cleverly calculates his opponent's movement. He jumped one step back and assimilated himself into his shadow.

"Eh?" Suddenly, Qin Yi, as an audience, noticed that the teenager had suddenly disappeared into the shadows. He watched the robust middle-aged man instantly strengthen his guard and cautiously search where the shadow had gone.

"That is Yin Cheng's bloodline ability "Shadow Assimilation." Noticing Qin Yi's confused state, Murong Qian Jun immediately enlightened him.

"The Shadow House is blessed by a unique bloodline called "Shadow Bloodline." However, not many of them can awaken this bloodline. For Yin Cheng to be able to awaken his bloodline and gain this ability at this young age, he can be considered a talent."

Bloodline!

Qin Yi's eyes immediately shot up.

If he could extract it, he would add another life-saving ability to his cards.

A cautious person like him, such a shadow ability is very much needed. Therefore, he needs to get it no matter what it takes.

Although he was excited, his heart was still shrouded in doubt.

"Why would someone like him appear in this kind of battle? With his background and abilities, he could easily make money."

The ability to assimilate with that shadow was not trivial. If the teenager could train it correctly, he might become a terrifying assassin.

Moreover, this teenager was not a hot-headed and careless person from what Qin Yi saw. In fact, he is calm and intelligent in observing the situation around him. He knew when to attack and retreat. In short, he was the perfect material to become an assassin.

And yet, he even appeared at a place like this. Does he just want to make money, or is he just honing his skills?

"That's because he and his older sister are poor and need money urgently. Meanwhile, no one dares to hire them because people fear offending the enemy who destroyed the Shadow House. You can imagine Shadow House, a bunch of people who are good at assassination and having a terrifying bloodline could end up being miserable like this. What kind of enemy have they actually faced?"

"If even the Shadow House could be wiped out so easily, no one in this city would dare to challenge the Shadow House's enemy. After all, they don't want to end up like the Shadow House. The only reason the City Lord remains unscathed to this day is that the colossal sect-like Sleeping Dragon Sect backed him. However, the Sleeping Dragon Sect didn't recruit him as a disciple even if he's talented since they had no reason to offend Shadow House's enemy further. The other people also did not have the guts to help the siblings."

Speaking like this, Murong Qian Jun couldn't help but tremble slightly as his face revealed a fearful expression. He added, "Yin Cheng is desperate for money to treat his older sister, who fell into a coma from the poison she received during the war between the two factions. Yin Cheng wanted to hire a skillful physician, but the cost was too high. Therefore, he is willing to do anything to make money." 

From Murong Qian Jun's explanation, Qin Yi and Gao Peng were finally enlightened, and they could roughly understand the siblings' situation.

Right now, Yin Cheng was like a bird in a cage.

He desperately needed a lot of money to treat her older sister, but no one in the Ancient Dragon City dared to help him. If he decided to make money by killing and seizing the city's residents, the Guardian Temple would probably take action without considering the face of the City Lord. With Yin Cheng caught, the older sister will be neglected, and she will slowly die from the deadly poison that resides in her body.

If he were to leave Ancient Dragon City, he might be hunted down by the enemy who exterminated his family. Even if he wasn't afraid of it, he needed to consider his older sister's situation, which was currently in a critical state.

Carrying his older sister around would only worsen her condition however, if he left his older sister in the city alone, who knows what would happen to her, especially when no one can guarantee whether Yin Cheng will make it out after he gets out of the city.

Therefore, Yin Chen could only make money this way.

Qin Yi frowned and asked, "Why doesn't the City Lord just hire this fellow? Logically, with this outstanding ability, he is very useful for running some errands for the City Lord."

Murong Qian Jun groaned for a moment, and then he answered vaguely: "I heard that there is some kind of unknown agreement between the City Lord and the Shadow House's enemy. That agreement prevents the City Lord from helping the sibling any further."

Gao Peng tilted his head and asked Murong Qian Jun, "Aren't you afraid that letting this fellow participate in the Ring Battle will offend the Shadow House's enemy? After all, this is still considered as helping him."

"Nah~"

In response to this, Murong Qian Jun carelessly waved his hand in the air, "We're just doing business, not hiring or helping this person. Besides, it's not just us. This guy also often goes to Drunked Gold Pavilion, and yeah... he loses more than wins..."

Both Qin Yi and Gao Peng chuckled.

Drunked Gold Pavilion is the most famous gambling venue in the city. If you're lucky, you might become a millionaire overnight. However, if you lose, you might end up being a bum the next day.

Qin Yi's gaze fell on the figure of a teenager who was still fighting in the ring.

Currently, he was thinking about how he could make contact with this fellow. After all, he needs to get close to extract his target.

Meanwhile, he was in the ring, the fight was still going on, and it was almost reaching a climax.

Everyone could see that the robust middle-aged man was utterly outmatched and cornered by Ying Chen's barrage of sneak attacks.

The robust middle-aged man knows he will be finished if things continue like this. Hence, he suddenly feigned carelessness and subconsciously lowered his guards.

When the robust middle-aged man thought that his opponent would attack him from the front after seeing this opening he had deliberately made, suddenly he saw his enemy leaping towards him disappear into his shadow.

The next second, the teenager appears again behind the robust middle-aged man. When the robust middle-aged man realized this, his opponent was already holding his chin and upper head. One could see that his head could be dislocated at any time if the robust middle-aged man moved recklessly.

Cold sweat dripped down his forehead of the robust middle-aged man as he slowly opened his mouth and said, "I-I give up..."

On the second floor...

Before the Ring Battle was over, Qin Yi had already said goodbye to Murong Qian Jun and Gao Peng.

The only thing he regretted was that he couldn't extract all the customers on this floor. He wanted to, but doing what he usually does in such a fancy restaurant was a little embarrassing.

Even if he wanted to, at least not when he was with his friends, otherwise, his little dignity as an Alchemist would be ruined.

In the end, he just extracted everyone he passed.

Qin Yi skipped them to get better.

If he missed Yin Chen's Shadow Bloodline today, he didn't know when and where he would meet Yin Chen again.
