witch stop

Chapter 113
Li Yu's attitude towards the witch has changed.

If she came to make trouble for him, then she was a witch.

If she came to give him pills, then she is his good Chanchan.

Ten pulse-expanding pills are not ten pills for Tongmai. Even if the speed of dual cultivation is maxed out, it can save ten years of hard work.

Li Yu returned to Yuxuan Peak, practicing spells while waiting for Chanchan's arrival.

One day three days later, the disciples of Yuxuan Peak guarding the peak sent a message, and the head teacher Xuan Liyu went to Yuxu Palace.

In Yuxu Palace, besides the demon girl whom he hadn't seen for more than half a year, Li Yu also met two Nascent Soul experts from the Xuanyin sect.

The demon girl came this time not all to deliver pills. From the conversation between the real person in charge and the powerhouse of Xuanyin Sect, Li Yu learned that it seems that the two factions discovered a new first-order secret realm, and this secret realm is the first. It is connected to the big world for the first time. Before that, it has never been mined. There are many elixir growing in it. Although the grade is not high, there are a lot of them. The two strong men of Xuanyin sect are here to discuss resources with Kunlun. distribution problem.

The world of cultivating immortals has developed so far, and it is no longer the ancient barbaric era. For resources, sects often kill mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Up to now, things that can be resolved through peace talks are rarely resorted to by force.

Of course, the reason why we can sit down and talk is that Kunlun and Xuanyin Sect are similar in strength. If Kunlun is a small sect, or Xuanyin Sect is a small sect, even if it is a secret realm discovered at the door of the house, it is not qualified to develop.

This kind of negotiation usually cannot be concluded in a short time.

The Nascent Soul Patriarch who was in charge of the two factions had to go through several days of discussions and numerous exchanges of interests before the final result could be determined.

During this time, under the arrangement of Master Teacher, Li Yu, on behalf of Kunlun, was responsible for receiving the saintess of Xuanyin Sect, eating, drinking and playing with her, and even arranged her sleeping place in Yuxuan Peak.

There are ten Tuomai Pills, and Li Yu doesn't feel bothered at all.

However, Zhou Zixuan didn't have a good impression of this Xuanyin Sect saint.

In the past two days at Yuxuan Peak, she bossed everything around and shouted at Li Yu, as if Li Yu was her younger brother. As Li Yu's Taoist companion, Zhou Zixuan naturally couldn't understand it, but others were Xuanyin. To teach the saint, she couldn't say anything.

In order not to make herself angry, in the past two days, she simply moved to Mount Yuzhu to find Jiang Li.

On Yuxu Peak, two figures descended from the sky, Li Yu asked the witch with some anxiety, "Girl, what are we doing here again, there is nothing to see here..."

The witch wanted to come to Yuxu Peak for no reason, and Senior Sister Qin was there. Meeting the two of them was of course not a good thing for Li Yu.

Nan Gongchan glanced at him and asked, "Just take a look, can't you?"

Li Yu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, you are a guest, you can see whatever you want..."

The Master Master's order to Li Yu was to satisfy the demon girl's requirements as much as possible, and to ask him for instructions if he could not. He, the Kunlun Master, indulged the demon girl of the Xuanyin sect to the extreme.

From this, it can be seen how much the head teacher valued her father back then.

Li Yu can only pray in his heart, Senior Sister Qin is best to practice in her own residence, don't come out...

But in this world, many things are often unsatisfactory.

Li Yu and Nan Gongchan had just passed through a large hall when they saw a familiar figure on the square behind the hall.

The woman who covered her face with a light veil also saw them.

Her gaze swept across Li Yu's body and fixed on Nan Gongchan's body.

In the next moment, Li Yu felt that the aura of Nangongchan and Qin Keren had disappeared.

He was embarrassed.

Nan Gongchan and Qin Keren were both accidents.

Even though they practiced the technique of watching Qi, they could see through the cultivation base of the Nascent Soul Stage, but they couldn't see through the other party's, just like they couldn't see through Li Yu's cultivation base.

This happens for one reason only.

That means the other party also used Hidden Qi Technique.

Qin Keren looked at Li Yu, while Nan Gongchan looked at her and said, "Unexpectedly, you also know the technique of hidden qi."

Qin Keren said indifferently: "Is this a secret technique exclusive to your demonic way? If you can understand it, why can't others understand it?"

The demon girl's acting skills can be called the queen of the movie, and her reaction is also very fast. Li Yu cooperated with her in time and asked in surprise, "Miss Nangong can also conceal qi?"

Nangong Chan rolled his eyes at him: "This is not the exclusive secret technique of your righteous way, why can't this girl understand?"

This look was full of deep meaning, and Li Yu knew that even though he was fine now, after he returned, he might not think about it.

Qin Keren immediately thought that Li Yu had taught Nangong Chan's hidden qi technique, but after thinking about it, she found it unlikely, and their reactions confirmed this.

As well-known geniuses in the world of cultivating immortals, they are often mentioned and compared at the same time. After finally meeting each other, they naturally want to see how far each other has cultivated, but they did not expect that they both know the hidden qi technique.

After Senior Sister Qin and the demon girl met, there was a dangerous atmosphere in the surrounding air. Afraid that something might happen if this continues, Li Yu took the initiative to say to Qin Keren, "The real master ordered me to take Nangong girl to visit Kunlun. When we arrive at Yuxu Peak, I will take her to the front to have a look, Miss Nangong, let's go..."

Qin Keren nodded slightly, turned around and walked into a large hall.

Nan Gongchan gave Li Yu a look of "I'll settle the score with you later" and continued walking forward.

Their current location is in the inner hall of Yuxu Palace. Theoretically, only the direct disciples of Zhenren Zhangjiao are eligible to live here, but Zhenren Zhangjiao has only one disciple, that is, Senior Sister Qin, so almost all the palaces here are It's vacant, and I don't know how Senior Sister Qin practiced here alone. If she stays for a long time, will she feel lonely...

If Li Yu were her, she would definitely not be able to bear it. He needs someone around him to talk to, and there is really no one. It is fine to raise a cat and a tiger.

Nan Gongchan didn't mention the hidden qi technique for the time being. When she walked in front of a palace, she stopped and stared at the palace for a long time.

Li Yu looked up and saw the words "Eternal Green Palace" written on a huge plaque above the palace.

Immortal cultivators usually habitually embed their own names when they name their residences. For example, Li Yu’s Yuxuan Peak is a combination of his and Zhou Zixuan’s names. It is hard to guess that its former owner should be the father of the witch.

As for this Senior Brother Chen, Li Yu had heard of his reputation in many places, but he didn't know exactly what kind of person he was.

Li Yu asked Nangong Chan, "Girl, is Brother Chen really your father?"

Nangong Chan said lightly, "I don't have a father."

Li Yu was slightly taken aback.

Could it be that the rumors are wrong, but the real head teacher has said it himself, and there are other inside stories?
Nan Gongchan said lightly: "It's been almost 20 years since I was born, and I haven't seen him a few times. Is there really such a father in this world?"

After living for 20 years and not seeing her biological father a few times, the witch is indeed a bit pitiful.

No wonder she didn't have any respect when she mentioned her father.

At the same time, Li Yu is not surprised that her personality is like this. During her entire childhood and youth growth, she lacked the key father's love, and her personality must be different from that of a girl with a complete and complete childhood.

When Li Yu first entered the police academy, psychology was compulsory.

Children who lacked fatherly love in childhood, when they grow up, in order to make up for the lack of emotion in childhood, they will be more eager for love and care. The direct manifestation is easy to worry about gains and losses, sensitive, suspicious, strong desire to control, strong desire to possess...

All of these characteristics are perfect for a witch.

Looking at this hall, Nangong Chanqiao's face showed a trace of bewilderment, and she murmured: "Could it be that your orthodox way is so good, and the devil's way is so unbearable. In the past 20 years, he didn't even want to come to Xuanyin to see me once..."

Li Yu could only comfort her and said, "Actually, good and evil are indistinguishable. Not all righteous people are good people, and not all evil people are evil people. Brother Chen, maybe there are other difficulties..."

Nan Gongchan asked: "The difficulty, what is the difficulty, that can make him see his biological daughter for 20 years?"

Li Yu was very helpless, thinking that I am not your father, how do I know?

He only knew that if he had a daughter, he would hold it in his mouth for fear of melting, and hold it in his hands for fear of falling. If anyone wouldn't let him see his daughter, he would definitely fight desperately with the other party.

But the demon girl is really pitiful, no matter how strong she is or how high her status is, there are some things that she has never owned, or never owned. It is this kind of experience that has created her sensitive, suspicious and possessive character.

After standing here for a while, the demon girl stopped looking at the "Eternal Green Palace", feeling a little lost, and returned to Yuxuan Peak with Li Yu.

She looked at Yuxuan Peak, which was full of aura and full of medicine fields, and after returning to a main hall, she said flatly: "You are very good in Kunlun. Two years ago, you were just a new disciple. gone."

Li Yudao: "It's all the love of Daoist Headmaster..."

Nan Gongchan suddenly said: "Kunlun is so kind to you. If I were you, I would definitely not go to Xuanyin to teach. In terms of aura, there is no Kunlun's abundance, and in terms of resources, there is no Kunlun's abundance. You will not betray me in the future, right?"

Li Yu said seriously: "The girl has saved my life three times, how could I betray the girl?"

Nan Gongchan said lightly: "That's not necessarily the case. Compared with longevity, the grace of saving life is nothing. Are there few things in the world of cultivating immortals to repay revenge? If your words are credible, don't tell me why Qin Keren knows how to conceal qi." , you didn't teach her hidden qi technique, did you?"

It's here, it's finally here...

What should come will eventually come, Li Yu knew that this topic cannot be avoided today.

However, he was already prepared in his heart, and said calmly: "Although I taught Senior Sister Qin's hidden qi technique, I did it for the sake of the girl..."

Nan Gongchan looked at him and sneered, "For me? Did I ask you to teach her?"

Li Yu said innocently: "It was the girl who asked me to pay more attention to the news of Senior Sister Qin on weekdays. The news I learned through other people's mouths is naturally not as credible as what I witnessed with my own eyes. In order to get first-hand news about her, I I can only find a way to get close to her, offering her hidden qi technique is the most crucial step, besides this, I also often give her fruits and ask her about spiritual practice, after nearly a year, I can finally meet her occasionally It's been a few words, Kunlun's other disciples, but they can't even see her..."

Nangong Chan froze for a moment, "Really?"

Li Yu said speechlessly: "It was you who asked me to pay attention to Senior Sister Qin. I finally got close to her. You forgot?"

Afterwards, he was a little disappointed and said, "Girl, is that why you don't trust me?"

This move was mainly against the guest, which caught Nan Gongchan off guard.

Her lips moved, and it took a long time before she said, "I, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that I hate betrayal the most..."

As she spoke, she opened the front of her shirt.

Li Yu was stunned. Could it be that in order to prevent her betrayal, she planned to use a beauty trap?

But soon, Li Yu realized that he was thinking too much.

Nan Gongchan unbuttoned the skirt, but did not untie it completely. Li Yu saw that there was an obvious scar on the upper part of her left chest and lower part of her left shoulder.

Immortal cultivators generally don't have scars on their bodies. Even if they are injured, they can be recovered with mana and elixir.

Nan Gongchan put on her clothes again and said: "This is the price of trusting others. She was originally my most valued maid, but at the most critical moment of my cultivation, she made a surprise attack. If I hadn't avoided the fatal position, you I haven't seen me for a long time, I have this scar, just to remind myself all the time, no one can trust..."

She looked at Li Yu and said, "I treat you so well, if you betray me, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I will kill you with my own hands!"

Since childhood, she lacked love from her father, and she was betrayed by the person she trusted the most. No wonder she was so suspicious. At this moment, Li Yu could only say: "Without a girl, I would have died many times. Don't worry, girl, I won't die." The one who betrayed the girl..."

Half a day later, Nan Gongchan left Yuxuan Peak.

Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief. After learning about her past experience, Li Yu had to be extra careful when talking to the witch, for fear of saying something wrong and hurting her sensitive and fragile heart.

After she and the people from Xuanyin sect left, Li Yu went to Mount Yuzhu, brought Zhou Zixuan back, and returned to Yuxu Peak.

Wang Daoxuan asked: "How are you getting along these few days?"

Li Yu shook his head and said, "This Nangong girl has a very weird temper, getting along with her is not easy..."

Wang Daoxuan sighed lightly, and said: "She is also a poor child, if there is any offense, please bear with me."

Li Yudao: "Don't worry, Master Teacher, I understand this. We are the hosts and she is the guest. No matter how rude she is, I will certainly tolerate her..."

Wang Daoxuan nodded, and said: "Thank you for your hard work, this year's Zongmen second-rank alchemist competition will start in half a month, the original leader's reward is five extension pills, I give it to you Raise to ten..."

Li Yu cupped his fists and said, "Thank you Headmaster."

Kunlun's second-rank alchemist competition is not once a year, but once every five years. It is the first time for Li Yu to experience it for two years.

Although the specifications of second-rank alchemists are higher and the alchemy they refine is more advanced, there are only less than two hundred second-rank alchemists in the sect, and less than one hundred of them participate in the competition each time. , The scale of the competition naturally cannot be compared with the Apprentice Competition and the First-Rank Alchemist Competition, which belong to the minority competitions within the alchemy peaks.

In previous second-rank alchemist competitions, the reward for the leader was five extension pills. This time, the head teacher made an exception and increased the reward to ten.

This was obviously promoted specially for Li Yu. After all, according to several fourth-rank alchemists, not to mention second-rank alchemists, even those third-rank alchemists in the sect, who participated in this second-rank alchemist competition, would not Don't try to take those ten pills from Li Yu's hands.

The Master Teacher took extra care of Li Yu.

As a second-rank alchemist, it is unprecedented to be in charge of a peak. Participating in the competition and specially increasing rewards for him is a naked preference. However, when the Yuanying Patriarchs discussed the matter, they did not raise any objections.

That is a head teacher, if you don't even have this privilege, who else would be willing to be a head teacher?
Besides, he didn't give Li Yu directly, the reward for the leader of the big competition still had to rely on absolute strength to get it.

Although it is no different from giving directly...

In the past second-rank alchemist competitions, the alchemy geniuses of each peak, especially those disciples of fourth-rank alchemists, competed extremely fiercely. Until the last moment, no one knew who would win.

But this year's competition, although it hasn't started yet, there is no suspense. Before Li Yu was promoted to a third-rank alchemist, they didn't even have to think about being the leader of the second-rank alchemist competition.

And their opponent was more than one Li Yu.

You know, the other one of the Alchemy Dao twin stars has just been promoted to the second rank.

The leader and the second place in the big competition were undoubtedly won by the two. In the three rounds of competition, Li Yulu was the best, Zheng Shimei was the best, and most of the contestants could produce a top-rank in one round. It is already blessed by the God of Alchemy.

It's not difficult to get started in alchemy, but it's not easy to master it, and the more difficult it is to improve, like Li Yu and Zheng Shimei, the faster the progress is, after all, it's just an example.

On Yuxuan Peak, Li Yu took the purified Tuomai Dan one by one, feeling the changes in the mana in his body.

Every time the pulse is stretched, the spiritual veins can hold more mana. The witch gave him ten pulse stretching pills, and he won another ten in the competition. It wasn't long before the foundation was established, and his mana was comparable to that of a single spiritual vein. It's mid-term.

Ten extension pills are rewarded for a competition. Except for Kunlun, maybe only Tiandaozong has this kind of foundation.

After taking these Tuomai Pills, Li Yu came to Lingyun Peak again.

He refines twenty furnaces of Tongmai pills for the Zongmen every month, three of which are produced in one furnace, a total of sixty, and gives the Zongmen twenty top-quality pills, and the rest is Li Yu's own, which can be exchanged for extension Pulse Dan.

Thirty pills are exchanged for one pill, it's not worth it, but there's no way, who can't let him refine the third-grade elixir.

Wang Hua looked at the thirty Tongmai Pills that Li Yu took out, and Li Yu and him looked at each other with tacit smiles.

Wang Hua smiled and said: "You boy, when you were in Yuxu Palace, you were still clumsy..."

Obviously, it is not Li Yu's limit to produce a top-grade pill in one furnace, and he can at least refine another top-grade pill, but he deliberately hid it when he showed it to the Yuanying Patriarchs in Yuxu Palace.

Wang Hua is also an alchemist, so he understands this very well.

If you pay as much as you practice, then who else is willing to be an alchemist? Can people not seek benefits for themselves?

After handing over a high-grade Tongmai Pill to Li Yu, he said, "I haven't refined a waste pill this month, so I can't give it to you..."

Li Yu was not surprised by this either. The materials of the third-grade pills were so precious that they could not afford to waste them. If any third-grade alchemist produced waste pills every month, he might be downgraded soon.

At the end of this month, he received a request from several peaks to help them refine several batches of pills, but he only received two low-grade Tuomai pills.

Through normal channels, Li Yu can get about three Tuomai Pills every month, which seems to be very little, and it cannot be compared with the speed of obtaining Tongmai Pills during the Qi Refining period, but this is a third-order pill, which is already A speed that makes 90.00% of the foundation-building period envious.

Not counting other channels, just three per month, and it took less than ten years to cultivate all five spirit veins to the peak of foundation establishment.

After the second-rank alchemist competition ended, the pace of Li Yu's practice gradually slowed down. Apart from alchemy and double cultivation, he practiced spells and martial arts of various departments every day, and his life was fulfilling.

After the foundation building period, practice is the main theme of life.

During this period, there were two bad news from Ziyun Peak. The alchemist Lao He and the weapon refiner Lao Xu returned to the market within three days.

Li Yu found a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters in their home country, and buried their ashes there. According to their wishes, Li Yu also set up a small mechanism in front of their tombs.

If someone found their burial place, they would bow down in front of the tomb once, and a hidden compartment in the ground would be opened.

In the secret compartment, there is a book of basic cultivation methods, an introductory book on formations and weapon refining, and a Qi Gathering Pill sealed in a jade bottle, which is the good fortune left by the two of them for those who are destined.

After finishing these, Li Yu returned to Kunlun.

After the death of Lao He and Lao Xu, the mahjong stall in front of Ziyun Peak's small courtyard could no longer be supported, and the remaining two people also lay back in rocking chairs, waiting for the day of returning to the market.

The withering of old people one after another made Li Yu feel more emotional.

The direct expression is that he has worked even harder in his practice. In the past, almost all of his practice relied on pills, and he almost gave up on entraining his own energy. But now, Li Yu does not let go of any time. Even Jiang Li Both Zhou Zixuan and Zhou Zixuan were infected by him, and they became less playful.

Li Yu is very clear that his talent is not much better than those of the old people who returned to the ruins, and even worse. If it is not for the identity of an alchemist, after more than 200 years, he is very likely to be like them, and eventually become a loess .

On this day, Li Yu had just completed a week of practice when he received a summon from Yuxu Peak.
