My Endless Life.

Chapter 241: Accident at the Inn
Li Xueren seems to only care about Li Qi, but not much about Li Qi's twin sister Li Qiao.

Is it because he favors boys over girls?
Li Qi thought about it, and did not ask why the other party did not bring Li Qiao out, but continued to speak:
"But, I have already joined Tianyi Valley. If I leave now, what if Tianyi Valley causes trouble for my father..."

"Don't worry about that rebellious son! He has a lot of ideas, and he has his own way to deal with it! The good grandson just needs to protect himself."

When talking about Li Wenxin, Li Xueren always looks disgusted.

Li Qi couldn't comment on the feud between his grandfather and his father in this life. Anyway, looking at the old man's appearance, he didn't seem to really hate his son. Li Qi simply skipped the topic and said:

"But I need to join Tianyi Valley."

"?"

Li Xueren was stunned and frowned, saying: "My dear grandson, I am at least a second-grade grandmaster, and I am very familiar with our family's martial arts. With your talent, as long as you follow me step by step, I guarantee that you can enter the grandmaster realm before the age of thirty!

"Why go to that damn Tianyi Valley and be a dog for others?"

Li Xueren doesn't seem to have a very good impression of the six major sects.

He was very opposed to Li Qi joining Tianyi Valley.

Li Qi explained:
"I need the Heavenly Medicine Treasure Book from the Heavenly Medicine Valley to complete my conjecture..."

"What conjecture? If you really need the Heavenly Medicine Manual, can't I just grab a disciple from the Heavenly Medicine Valley and give it to you? Why bother joining the Heavenly Medicine Valley?"

"...Grandpa, we are decent, right?"

After hearing what Li Xueren said, the corner of Li Qi's mouth twitched.

With Li Xueren's strength, it would be easy to capture the disciples of Tianyi Valley, but wouldn't Qiqiao Villa be completely on the opposite side of Tianyi Valley?

Besides, we are on the right path, so we should at least do what the right path should do and not bring the evil practices from overseas to the Central Plains!
In fact, if Li Qi himself were a second-grade grandmaster now, he would definitely agree with Li Xueren's behavior of finding a disciple from Tianyi Valley and forcing him to tell him the Tianyi Sutra.

But the problem is that Li Qi is not.

His cultivation level is only the sixth level. Even if he can compete with the fourth level with various special abilities and mechanisms, he is still in the innate realm.

There is more than one Grandmaster in Tianyi Valley alone.

Once Li Xueren was held back by others, any master from Tianyi Valley would be able to capture Li Qi.

So Li Qi just thought about Li Xueren's proposal and simply rejected it.

Don’t do anything risky if you can avoid it.

I'm not sure whether I can live to the age of twenty in this life. When my cultivation is not enough to stand out in the world, it's better not to seek death for the time being.

"Humph, the righteous and evil ways are only differentiated by the difference in their techniques. The evil way is not necessarily so cruel, and the righteous way is not necessarily so upright.

"My dear grandson, don't let this notion of righteousness and evil fool you from now on. The so-called righteousness and the right path are just excuses to exclude dissidents!"

Li Xueren said with a cold snort.

After spending so many years on the overseas Demon Island, he has also seen through the true nature of these righteous people.

There aren't many good things in either the righteous or evil ways. In the entire righteous path, only Zhong Yunxin's father from the Xueyun Sword Sect is considered to be a righteous person recognized by Li Xueren, as well as the doctors in the Tianyi Valley.

Apart from that, in his eyes, whether it is Shushan Dao or Thousand Buddha Temple, there is no difference between them and the Demonic Dao.

That's why he didn't like Li Qi joining Tianyi Valley.

The six sects were a huge whirlpool. The entire martial arts world, including the Demon Sect, was an even bigger whirlpool! Once you entered it, it would be extremely difficult to escape.

How could Li Qi not know what Li Xueren said? However, if he wanted to perfect the Immortal Heart Sutra and break all the methods, he had to obtain the Heavenly Medical Book which had clear records of the meridians and acupoints of the human body.

So Li Qi must go to Tianyi Valley.

Seeing that Li Xueren was unwilling to let him go, Li Qi's eyes turned slightly and suddenly said:

"But if you promise others something, you must do it. I promised Miss Huang that I would go to Tianyi Valley, so I must go to Tianyi Valley. Grandpa, do you want me to be a treacherous person?"

"This... this is another matter..."

Li Xueren froze, and his voice suddenly became several degrees weaker.

Li Qi directly pursued the victory and said:
"Or do you think that my father's breaking of the agreement and not marrying Senior Zhong was the right choice?"

"..."

Li Xueren was speechless this time.

The failure of Li Wenxin and Zhong Yunxin to get married was the root cause of the breakup between Li Xueren and Li Wenxin.

Li Xueren felt that he had let down his old brother who had passed away, so he ran away in anger.

Therefore, Li Xueren was quite sensitive to the word "breach of agreement", and Li Qi's words just hit his soft spot.

After Li Qi finished speaking, he stopped while he was ahead and continued:

"Besides, the Demon Sect has not yet invaded the righteous martial arts world. Even if they really invade the Central Plains, they have to pass the Da Qi first. No matter what, Tianyi Valley is safe, Grandpa, don't worry too much."

Li Xueren was worried that Li Qi would be involved in the future battle between good and evil in Tianyi Valley.

But let’s not talk about whether the overseas demon sect can attack us so quickly. Even if they really attack us, it will take tall people to hold up the sky if it falls.

The army of Da Qi is no pushover. No matter how strong a martial artist is, if he encounters the formation of Da Qi's elite army, he must avoid their sharp edge.

Even if chaos really breaks out, I don’t know how long it will last.

Moreover, Li Qi is now sixteen years old, and there are still four years before he turns twenty. No matter how Li Qi looks at it, he doesn't think that the magic path can invade the heartland of Central Plains within four years.

Even if they can really invade the heartland of the Central Plains, Li Qi will surely have reached the Grandmaster level by then, and his time is up, so he won't be able to care about so many things. Li Qi said firmly to Li Xueren.

Li Xueren looked at Li Qi, wanting to say something but stopping himself, and finally sighed and said:

"Forget it. Since you insist, I won't give you any advice. But you must be careful about your safety in Tianyi Valley from now on. If you are wronged, use our Li family's messenger bird to send me a message. I will help you vent your anger then!"

"Thank you very much...thank you grandpa."

Li Qi said with a cupped hand.

Li Xueren waved his hand and said, "Why are you being so polite to me? Alright, it's getting late now. Are you hungry, my dear grandson? Let's go, Grandpa will take you to a feast!"

"Going to town?"

Li Qi turned his head and looked.

Li Xueren didn't take him very far, they just ran from the top of the hill of Qiqiao Villa to the top of the hill on the other side.

If you look down, you can see the town below.

Li Xueren smiled and said to Li Qi:
"Of course, I haven't been back for more than ten years. I don't know if the chef's skills at the Shili Inn in town have declined."

"In that case..."

After hearing what Li Xueren said, Li Qi thought about it, wiped his face with his hand, and his bones creaked.

In a short while, he changed from a boy of sixteen or seventeen to a square-faced young man in his twenties.

Unless Li Qiao was there, even Li Wenxin would not be able to recognize who he was in front of him.

This skill of disguise made Li Xueren's eyes light up slightly.

Qiqiao Villa is good at hidden weapons and disguise, as well as all kinds of strange and bizarre techniques, just like magic.

Li Xueren was a famous master of disguise back then, so when he saw Li Qi's disguise skills now, he was quite tempted.

"Is this... the "Transformation Chapter" of the Linglong Heart Sutra?"

As Li Qi's family martial arts technique, Linglong Heart Sutra certainly contains more than just internal skills.

The entire Linglong Heart Sutra includes many chapters, such as "General Principles of the Heart", "Linglong Skills", "Shape Change", "Bone Shrinking", "Hiding Objects", and "Mazing Steps".

The general principles and techniques are the methods of practicing exercises, the exquisite and deft hands are the methods of hand techniques, palm techniques and the methods of throwing hidden weapons, the changing shape and shrinking bones are the techniques of disguise and bone shrinking, and hiding objects is the method of hiding things on the body.

Li Qi can take out the puppet from his body at any time thanks to this method of hiding objects.

The mirage step is a kind of light Kung Fu footwork.

The disguise technique that Li Qi used just now was very similar to the "Shape-changing Chapter" in the Linglong Heart Sutra.

But Li Xueren, who also practiced Linglong Heart Sutra, could see that Li Qi's disguise technique was somewhat different from what he knew.

At least, with his cultivation and eyesight as a second-rank grandmaster, and as someone who had practiced the art of disguise, he was completely unable to see the flaws in the other person's disguise!
This surprised Li Xueren very much.

When did Qiqiao Villa have such exquisite disguise skills?
"I guess so. I... made some minor changes..."

Li Qi explained casually.

The predecessor of the Immortal Heart Sutra was the Linglong Heart Sutra. The shadow of the Linglong Heart Sutra can be seen in many parts of the first basic chapter.

And this easy-to-shape method was also improved by Li Qi from the Linglong Heart Sutra, so it is no problem to call it the Linglong Heart Sutra.

Li Xueren wanted to ask again, but seeing that Li Qi didn't want to talk, he said no more and imitated Li Qi and wiped his face with his hand.

In a blink of an eye, the old face turned into a middle-aged man in his forties.

When it comes to disguise, Li Xueren's skills are not bad at all.

After changing their appearance, the two men went down the mountain one after another and headed for the small town at the foot of the mountain to eat at the Shili Inn that Li Xueren mentioned.

The reason why the two changed their appearance is very simple. Li Qi is now in a "captured" state. After knowing that the person who captured him is his grandfather, Li Qi has no intention of going back.

He originally wanted to sneak out of the villa to investigate the matter of the golden elixir. In the past few days, the six sects have been keeping an eye on the Qiqiao Villa, leaving him no time to investigate the matter, which was already giving him a headache.

Now that Li Xueren has arrested him, it gives him an excuse not to go back.

Anyway, there are still about twenty days before the wedding, so before that, let’s get more information about the golden elixir.

But speaking of Jindan...

"Grandpa, have you ever heard of the Ascension Cult while you were overseas?"

While having dinner with Li Xueren, Li Qi asked him.

"Shengxian Religion?"

Li Xueren, who was picking up food with chopsticks, paused.

He put the food in the bowl, frowned and looked at Li Qi, and asked:
"How did you know that name?"

"I met their followers in one county town."

"!!"

As soon as Li Qi finished speaking, Li Xueren came to Li Qi's side in an instant, grabbed Li Qi's wrist and took his pulse.

That nervous look on his face, as if Li Qi had some terminal illness.

　Happy National Day, everyone!
