The world of cultivating immortals does not raise second-rate goods

Si Li came to Zhongdu City with his sword and landed in the backyard of the city lord's mansion, startling Zhong Xingwei who was instructing his disciples to practice swordsmanship.

Zhong Xingwei hurriedly stepped forward: "Miss Si..."

"Is Cao Heng here?" Si Li interrupted him coldly.

Zhong Xingwei saw that her expression was wrong and her eyes were bloodshot. He thought that Cao Heng had offended her, and subconsciously wanted to save the two of them. He bowed slightly and smiled along with her face.

"Girl, has Elder Cao offended you? Let's talk to him first..."

Before he finished speaking, Si Li grabbed him by the collar, almost lifting him up, and said sternly: "I'm asking where Cao Heng is?"

The disciples who were practicing swords hurriedly came over.

"Put down Master!" The disciples pointed their swords at Si Li and looked at her with vigilance and horror.

Zhong Xingwei felt that the matter was serious, and his smile broadened: "Girl, why don't you talk to me first?"

Si Li has never wanted to kill someone so much!

"I'm in the study." Cao Heng's voice suddenly came.

Si Li threw Zhong Xingwei away, and Zhong Xingwei's body fell heavily to the ground with a dull sound.

She walked towards the study with her head held high.

"Zhong Xingwei, just answer whatever you ask, don't be so self-righteous!" Cao Heng's voice came again.

The disciples quickly helped Zhong Xingwei up. Zhong Xingwei vomited blood, knelt down on one knee towards Si Li's back, cupped his fists and said, "I know I was wrong."

Arriving at the study, Cao Heng was the only one in the study.

He sat in front of the west window, holding a book and reading under the dim light of the setting sun. When he saw Si Li come in, he put down the book and frowned slightly.

"Why is it so popular?"

Si Li ignored him, walked straight to him, handed him the inner elixir, and said, "Do me a favor and save this inner elixir. I know you can do anything."

Cao Heng took the inner elixir with a smile, held it up to admire the sunset for a moment, and exclaimed: "It's crystal clear, really good."

He turned his face and said jokingly: "Congratulations, you have learned the fastest way to advance in the world of immortality without a teacher."

Si Li's face was stiff and he said nothing.

Cao Heng thought it was her first time to take pills, and he didn't make up his mind well, so he whispered: "Whose?"

"Jiang Man."

"Oh ah--"

Cao Heng's eyes widened and he looked at Si Li in disbelief.

Si Li sat weakly on the ground, holding her knees with her hands, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

Cao Heng was also silent.

After a long time, Si Li told him the truth intermittently.

Fu Sui resented Jiang Man for deceiving Xue Ying and leading Xue Ying to Wuhu Mountain to be in danger. He revealed that Ren Songran's incident had damaged Jiang Man's heart, and later gave her the inner elixir.

For her, this is not an inner alchemy, but a pit of fire.

She didn't know who to look for, so she had to look for Cao Heng.

After listening, Cao Heng had endless pity and unspeakable sadness in his eyes.

He could feel Si Li's despair and helplessness.

Jiang Man didn't know that Su Jianren had killed Ren Songran under the influence of Fu Sui's ecstasy. He thought Fu Sui was innocent, so he hooked up with Fu Sui in an attempt to draw Fu Sui to Taoism's side.

But he didn't know that it was wrong from the beginning.

He paid a heavy price for his wrong decisions.

Now, his inner elixir is in Si Li's hands, but in the eyes of others, his inner elixir should be in Fu Sui's hands and become a tail of Fu Sui.

Si Li returns the inner elixir to Jiang Man?
  Fu Sui gave her the inner elixir to make sure she didn't dare to tell the truth, and it was a warning to her.

The reason why Jiang Man gave the inner elixir to Fu Sui was partly because of Xue Ying, and partly because he probably wanted outsiders to think that there was no conflict between Taoism and Fu Sui.

What's more, the monk's inner elixir can be returned within 2 hours after leaving the body. After some care, there will be no problem in returning it to the original state. After this time, the inner elixir dies and becomes a warehouse storing huge energy. Although it can provide energy to the monks, it can no longer be used as the inner elixir.

When Si Li got the inner elixir, it had been more than 2 hours.

Even if she returned the inner elixir to Jiang Man immediately, Jiang Man would not be able to possess an inner elixir that could mobilize the movement of spiritual energy.

What's more, she was afraid that Jiang Man would accuse her of hiding the truth about Ren Songran's death.

Afraid that Jiang Yuan would get excited and kill her after finding out, they both fell into Fu Sui's trap, becoming suspicious of each other and fighting within themselves.

If she didn't give it back to Jiang Man, she felt uncomfortable and her head was even more confused.

At a loss, she didn't know what to do, so she found Cao Heng, who had the best idea. The top priority was to temporarily preserve the inner elixir, and then make plans after she regained her composure.

Cao Heng's soft big hand patted her shoulder gently, and the green spiritual energy overflowed, and he said gently: "Get some sleep first."

"Ah."

Si Li's breathing gradually stabilized, and he gradually fell asleep.

Cao Heng got up, carried Si Li to the bed, lit benzoin beside the bed, and told San Sangjian: "She needs a good sleep. You guard her and don't allow anyone to disturb her."

"it is good."

The Sansang Sword stood obediently at the door, shining faintly.

Cao Heng left the room and came to the study. Zhong Xingwei stood at the door with his head lowered, as if he had admitted his mistake.

"Why didn't you tell her?" Cao Heng said angrily.

Zhong Xingwei murmured: "The elder plotted against Fu Sui. Fu Sui fought against three thousand monks. The palace master said that he didn't care about her, and the elder..."

Under Cao Heng's disapproving gaze, Zhong Xingwei slowly closed his mouth.

"I want to open the alchemy room. You and your people will guard the city lord's palace and don't allow anyone to approach. No matter who it is, even if the palace lord comes, they have to wait outside!"

Zhong Xingwei suddenly raised his head and looked at him with some confusion.

problem occurs?
  "Go!"

"Yes!"

Zhong Xingwei ran away. Suddenly Cao Heng called him from behind. Zhong Xingwei turned around and asked, "Elder, do you have any other instructions?"

"I don't care what the palace master orders, Si Li's order is my order!"

"clear."

……

Si Li didn't wake up until the afternoon of the next day. He was feeling gloomy and still couldn't cheer up.

She walked to the door, carried the Sansang Sword and went to the study to look for Cao Heng. She found that Cao Heng was not there, so she asked her disciples and found out that Cao Heng was in the alchemy room.

As soon as he entered the alchemy room, a wave of heat hit him. Si Li wiped the sweat from his forehead and saw Cao Heng slowly adding things to the alchemy furnace.

Seeing the burning charcoal fire, she couldn't help but said: "I thought you would refine it with the fire of your heart."

"The art of processing inner alchemy in the world of immortality has long been mature, and there is no need to use heart fire."

Cao Heng looked back at her and said with a wry smile, "How did you sleep?"

"It was very comfortable at first, but when I thought about facing Fu Sui and Jiang Man, I couldn't cheer up and was so tired."

Si Li shrugged, suddenly thought of something, and sighed: "It would be great if people were foxes. A fox's tail represents cultivation. It doesn't matter if you lose one. The second one will grow back soon."

A fox's inner elixir is like a gecko's tail, regenerable unless it dies.

Cao Heng was amused by her point of view: "Looking at the entire world of immortality, there are only two, no, one and a half foxes with inner elixirs, so it's better to just be human."

"That's true."

Cao Heng nodded happily, finding joy in hardship meant that she was fine.

"I forgot to ask yesterday, what happened to the nine-tailed fox? Isn't the nine-tailed fox a celestial fox?"

Si Li lowered his head, thinking about how to answer.
