Chen Ming woke up from his sleep and felt pain all over his body. His throat, neck, chest, waist, crotch... there were bursts of pain everywhere in his body. He got up from the bed with difficulty, and his face
Full of fear.
"Am I dead?"
The last memory in Chen Ming's mind was that he ran out of mana and the female ghost in the well possessed him, and then he lost control of his body.
In a daze, he seemed to see his long-dead imperial grandmother coming to pick him up.
Although he missed his grandmother very much, he didn't want her to take him away.
He was only twenty years old. He had not yet established a foundation or ascended the throne. He still had a good life to live. Just as the imperial grandmother was holding his hand and walking away, a man suddenly appeared.
Li Yu!
Chen Ming used to hate this handsome face, but at that moment, Li Yu's handsome face was his light!
It was already daybreak. Ren Yuanwai tentatively pushed open the courtyard door and asked cautiously: "Are the immortal masters still there?"
But what he saw was Chen Ming's extremely angry face.
I originally thought it was a simple mission, but I didn't expect that I almost risked my life here. Of course, Chen Ming would not give up. He endured the severe pain in his body and summoned the officials from Fengzhou.
He suspected that this incident was a conspiracy against them.
If he knew that there was a female ghost here who could reach the peak level of Qi Refining, he would never dare to take on such a task. Chen Ming was the prince of the Chen Kingdom, so Fengzhou officials would naturally be extremely cooperative.
However, after interrogation, everyone in the Ren family had no idea about this.
Li Yu was not surprised by this. No one in the Ren family had the guts to frame the immortal master. All this should be the ghost's plan.
Driving those lonely ghosts to harass the Ren family and create the illusion of being haunted is actually just a cover. Her real purpose is to save the souls of immortal cultivators.
For ghosts, the souls of immortal cultivators are a great tonic and can quickly increase their cultivation. However, she did not expect that for a small ghost exorcism task, Baiyun Temple would actually come to four Qi refining stages, and directly let them
She was so distraught that she died again and completely disappeared from this world.
Just a few days after Li Yugang came to this world, he experienced firsthand the dangers of the path of spiritual practice.
Even if it is a small and inconspicuous task, there is a possibility of death.
Returning to Baiyun Temple, the four of them went to Elder Sun to hand in the task.
Elder Sun is a little old man with gray hair and wrinkles. He looks like he is sixty or seventy years old, but Li Yu knows that he is far more than sixty or seventy years old, but already over two hundred years old.
An old monster who has lived for two centuries.
Although Elder Sun's cultivation is already in the late stage of foundation building, there is a high probability that he will form a golden elixir in his life. So he came to Baiyun Temple and became a steward to use his remaining energy for the sect and cultivate reserve talents.
Waiting for the deadline to arrive.
Li Yu had never seen him practicing on weekdays. The most common thing Elder Sun did was to lie on a rocking chair and bask in the sun. He remained motionless all day long. People who didn't know it thought he had already passed away.
Already.
"A female ghost at the peak of Qi refining level?"
Elder Sun was lying on the rocking chair, listening to Li Yu and others describe the process of the mission. He opened his closed eyes slightly and said calmly: "With this level of cultivation, that female ghost has been practicing Taoism for decades.
, Fortunately, it’s just a wild ghost who doesn’t know ghost magic and only knows how to possess people. Otherwise, at least two of the four of you would have died there..."
Elder Sun's emotionless words made several people who heard him feel frightened.
Elder Sun glanced at them again and said: "You are lucky this time. The world of cultivating immortals is full of dangers. A group of young boys who are still young. When you go out, be careful about everything. You don't know how to die.
The number of disciples who die every year because of their missions totals not one thousand but eight hundred..."
After warning the four people, Elder Sun turned around and walked into a hall with his hands behind his back. After a moment, he walked out unsteadily and handed a few gold coins to Chen Ming.
Chen Ming hesitated for a moment, handed all ten spirit coins to Zhou Zixuan, and said: "Junior Sister Zhou, I don't want any reward for this mission. You can divide these spirit coins."
Then he looked at Li Yu and Jiang Li, lowered his head and said, "I was wrong for what happened in the past. I am here to apologize to you. I hope you don't mind.
Facing Li Yu and Jiang Li now, Chen Ming's mentality was completely different.
Who does not cultivate immortality for the sake of immortality?
If it weren't for Li Yu, his life would probably have ended yesterday, let alone the road to immortality. Compared with this great kindness, the small grudges he had before were nothing.
Jiang Li waved his hand magnanimously and said: "Forget it, forget it..."
Anyway, in the two years since they had been feuding with Chen Ming, he and Li Yu had not suffered any physical losses.
Zhou Zixuan took the spirit coins and without thinking about it for long, handed them all to Li Yu and said: "Junior brother Li, I'll give you all these spirit coins. I didn't help you with this mission...
"
Li Yu originally wanted to refuse, but Zhou Zixuan's attitude was very firm, so he had no choice but to accept.
Ten spirit coins, each with a denomination of ten spirit coins, Li Yu gave half to Jiang Li, Jiang Li also decisively refused: "I don't want it either, I want the spirit coins for no use, you can just take them all.
…”
Li Yu knew Jiang Li. This kid had no intention of practicing at all. If he said he didn't want it, he would definitely not want it.
Suddenly having one hundred spirit coins, Li Yu didn't know how to spend it for a while. For one hundred spirit coins, he could buy some low-level talismans from Elder Sun for self-defense, or some pills to supplement his mana...
These things are very useful during the Qi refining period. Last night, if Chen Ming had a Qi Restoration Pill, he would not have been attacked by the female ghost.
However, Elder Sun said that if they can become official disciples of the Kunlun Sect in three months, the sect will distribute these things. It is a waste to buy them now. He suggested that Li Yu save them first. The spiritual coins will be of great use if they join the sect in the future, but they will not be able to enter the sect.
, it’s not too late to replace these things.
Li Yu feels that Elder Sun's advice is very pertinent. At present, the entry selection in three months is more important.
The selection criteria for entry are not the only ones. It mainly depends on the personal preferences of the elders selected by the sect. However, entering the Qi Refining stage is a rigid selection standard. If you are above the second level of Qi Refining, you can directly enter. At the first level, there are many more.
Big uncertainty, it depends on the number of acupuncture points opened.
Although Li Yu has advanced to the first level of Qi Refining, there is no guarantee that he will be selected. There is still a level of Qi Refining that was eliminated last time in the temple.
In these last three months, he must hurry up and improve his cultivation level.
In the early morning, when the sky was dim, Li Yu got up, washed up, and left Baiyun Temple.
The concentration of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will affect the speed of practice to a certain extent. More than a hundred people in Baiyun Temple gathered on a hilltop to practice together. You fought for it, but the effect of practice was not good.
Another reason is that Li Yu misses that little tiger.
I have to say, it feels very good.
Not long after, Li Yu came to the stream where he gathered his energy last time.
This place is located in a valley. Not only is the scenery beautiful, but the spiritual energy is abundant, and no one is trying to compete with him. Facing the rising sun, Li Yu sits cross-legged on a huge rock by the stream, guiding the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
Start hitting the second acupuncture point on your right hand.
This acupoint is called "Shaofu" and is the second of the seventy-two acupoints of the Fire Spirit Vein.
The Shaochong point on Li Yu's right hand was already filled with spiritual energy. He guided the spiritual energy in his body to attack the Shaofu point along the meridians. However, every impact of spiritual energy seemed to hit an unbreakable high wall.
Cultivation is so boring. Li Yu doesn't know how many times he has been hit, but the high wall still shows no sign of being broken down, not even a trace of shaking.
The sun had already risen above his head, and Li Yu planned to go back to the temple to eat when a cheerful roar suddenly came from his ears.
This roar was very familiar to Li Yu. He opened his eyes and saw the little white tiger running from a distance. With a slight jump, he jumped onto the boulder and rubbed his little head against Li Yu's body.
Li Yu held it in his arms and couldn't help but rub it again. After his undercover career ended, he once raised a cat named Xiaobai as a spiritual sustenance. This little tiger was a bit big, but it felt good in the hand.
better.
After rolling comfortably in Li Yu's arms, the little white tiger jumped down from the boulder and shook its head towards Li Yu in a certain direction.
Unexpectedly, it would make such a humane action. Li Yu was stunned for a moment and asked uncertainly: "You want me to follow you?"
The little white tiger didn't care whether Li Yu understood what it meant or not, and rushed towards the bushes ahead. After running for more than ten steps, it looked back at Li Yu, shook its head again, and motioned for him to follow.
Li Yu followed him with great interest, and turned into a little white tiger running on the ground, with him flying behind. Not long after, one tiger and one person came to a cliff.
Li Yu was a little puzzled and murmured: "Why did you bring me here?"
Stepping on this cliff, Li Yu found something strange here. The ten feet under his feet was bare and had nothing, but ten feet away, the vegetation was lush and lush.
Only then did he realize that the little white tiger was standing on the edge of the cliff, waving his head downwards to Li Yu.
It seems there is something under the cliff.
Li Yu walked to its place and looked under the cliff. He saw a red plant growing on a raised rock below the cliff, like some kind of short tree, with only the top knot growing.
A fiery red fruit the size of a fist.
When he saw this fruit, Li Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Zhu Guo!"
Li Yu has worked as a medicine boy for ten years and is extremely familiar with various plants. He recognized at a glance that the plant growing under the cliff is called "Zhu Guo".
Not only are mortal medicine shops buying it at high prices, but even Kunlun is in demand.
If mortals eat the red fruit, they can prolong their lives. After being refined into elixirs, they can increase the magic power of immortal cultivators. The purchase price of a hundred-year-old red fruit from Baiyun Temple is five hundred spirit coins.
"Ho ho ho..."
The little white tiger kept growling. Li Yu looked into its eyes and read some kind of message, which surprised him.
"Is this... for me?"
The huge tiger's eyes flashed with smart light. Li Yu was shocked. This little tiger was so intelligent. He had never seen an animal with such eyes. Could it be that the Qi Gathering Pill last time caused it to open?
