Chapter 61 - A Scheme Behind Dragon Materials
Both Qin Yi and Huang Haoming were confused.
What does "More than that?" mean?
Could there be something hidden in these materials?
Especially Qin Yi, he felt there was nothing more to the materials since the system didn't specially notify him.
Even if there really was something hidden and the system didn't detect it, maybe it was because his power was too weak or that "something" wasn't something the extraction system could extract.
However, even if the system indeed couldn't extract it, it usually left a note with him.
"Is there something wrong with these dragon materials, Senior Li Hai?" Huang Haoming tentatively asked.
Li Hai didn't say anything, but he held the sword at his waist and pointed it at the turtle shell. Then, a golden light appeared at the tip of the sword.
A few seconds later, the golden light went out. When Li Hai put his sword away from it, a mark faintly appeared on the surface of the shell.
"Mark?!"
Both Qin Yi and Huang Haoming exclaimed simultaneously.
"Yeah, it's a mark."
Li Hai confirmed that.
"Senior Li Hai, what mark is this? Is this mark something bad?"
Huang Haoming asked vigilantly as he saw the mark on the shell he bought.
"Not necessary. The mark will not harm people. However, this mark has another use which is tracking the position. The person who put this tracing mark can track the position of this shell. Moreover, it's the powerful one. As long as you keep this shell with you— Take it anywhere, wherever, and whenever, the mark will reveal your position to the tracker."
Li Hai explained it in detail as he looked at Huang Haoming with a faint smile.
Huang Haoming' face immediately turned ugly and pale.
He didn't expect that when he was just casually buying resources to improve his body and cultivation, he had unknowingly bought a tracking device for himself.
That's so unlucky!
If it wasn't for Li Hai's revelation, he might have been ignorant about this.
However, he was also confused at the same time.
What is the purpose of that seller keeping a tracing mark on this turtle shell?
He thought it pointless for the seller to track down the buyers who were all just Qi Condensation Realm cultivators.
Qin Yi was also confused by the seller's actions.
From the start, he felt something off about the seller's actions.
For example, the fact that a Foundation Establishment like him was selling dragon materials in the first square was already a strange matter.
Dragon materials are luxurious and expensive goods for ordinary cultivators. These kinds of goods are usually only traded in big stores, auctions, and in the second square.
But the seller instead sold it in the first square.
Isn't that suspicious?
Even though he charged it at a reasonable price, it was quite odd for him to do that.
If he only wanted to make a profit over ordinary cultivators, he could sell it at a higher price. In any case, those cultivators would still be vying for the dragon materials.
After all, it's rare for them to be able to bid for luxurious goods outside the big stores, which is sometimes very difficult for them to get into these stores.
Now that Qin Yi found a tracing mark on the Turtle Lava Dragon shell, it deepened his suspicions towards the seller.
Luckily he wasn't the buyer of this thing.
'System, extract this mark!'
[Extraction failed!]
[Note: The mark contains a strong power. The Host's strength is too weak to extract it.]
[Note: If the Host insists on extracting it, the Host can use Extreme Extraction. However, after using it, the Host will not be able to use all the Extraction System features for a month.]
Qin Yi was shocked after reading the second note.
He could use Extreme Extraction to extract this powerful thing?
Does that mean he can jump in rank if he uses Extreme Extraction?
'System, how many ranks can I jump with Extreme Extraction?'
A few moments later...
Unfortunately, he didn't get an answer from the system.
Qin Yi secretly sighed in pity.
The system never responded to him except when he gave an extraction command.
It seemed he could only figure that out himself.
Should I try it?
But... a month of not being able to extract is a bit...
Forget it!
Anyway, this mark wasn't his problem, and he had nothing to do with it.
At this moment, Huang Haoming suddenly asked.
"Senior Li Hai, is this tracing mark too strong that no one can discover it?"
Li Hia was silent for a while before answering.
"This tracing mark is indeed strong, and I can't estimate how strong the person who left this mark was. However, I don't think the tracer deliberately covered up this mark, but something else did."
Huang Haoming tilted his head in confusion, "Something else?"
"Yeah, something else like an artifact that has the ability to seal or cover something so other people can't discover it or pry upon it. It's a powerful ability that even the Golden Core Realm might not be able to discover it."
"That strong?!"
Both Qin Yi and Huang Haoming were shocked.
The cultivation ranks that are commonly known are Qi Condensation Realm, Foundation Establishment Realm, Core Formation Realm, Golden Core Realm, and Nascent Soul Realm.
The Golden Core Realm is only a step away from the Nascent Soul Realm. They are usually treated as overlords in a medium to upper-grade city.
And yet, Li Hai said that even a Golden Core Realm cultivator could not trace this disguising ability.
But what surprised them even more was the fact that Li Hai was able to discover it.
Is it possible that this guy turns out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing?
He is actually in the Golden Core Realm, but he is pretending to be in the Foundation Establishment Realm...
Li Hai knew what they were thinking. He sighed and clarified it.
"The reason I can see this mark is that my eyes, as well as my sword, have a unique ability. My eyes can see through anything that is deceptive, and my sword can destroy it and reveal the truth."
Qin Yi was astonished and enlightened.
So, this was the reason why his Hidden Night Cloak disguise ability was useless in front of Li Hai.
Huang Haoming was no less surprised than Qin Yi.
He had heard that Li Hai was powerful and was feared by many. The legend is already widespread among the younger generation.
However, this was the first time he had heard of Li Hai's extraordinary abilities from Li Hai himself.
What's more, this is probably just another one of his abilities.
Thinking about this, his heart started to worship Senior Li Hai even more.
He is cool, strong, and charismatic.
If he doesn't deserve to be admired, who does?
Huang Haoming couldn't help but ask, "Senior Li Hai, do you need a follower?"
Li Hai, ^_^
Meanwhile, Qin Yi rolled his eyes at Huang Haoming's behavior.
Dude, could you be more worried about your current situation?
