My Endless Life.

Chapter 297 You Shengxian Sect...

Li Qi hid himself in the shadows and looked at the two Ascensionists in front of him with interest.

Li Qi, the rabbit protector, had seen him before. He was not very old and looked to be less than 20 years old.

She has an innocent appearance, with rabbit ears on her head, and her eyes blink from time to time, like an ignorant girl who just came out of the village.

But Li Qi sensed that her life breath was very strong, which meant that the Rabbit Protector was at least forty years old.

Pure and ignorant, that's just the way it appears.

As for the other one, Li Qi had no impression of him.

He has a thin face and an older look, looking like a man in his sixties.

He was dressed in a black robe and gave off a disgusting odor that mixed with the poison gas and was extremely unpleasant.

Li Qi could see the scorpion tail vaguely sticking out from behind him, and he seemed to want to use it to escape.

It's just a pity that Li Qi's manipulation had already hung the two of them like puppets.

The neck area is a key area that Li Qi pays close attention to. If they dare to move it without permission, Li Qi will make sure they lose their heads.

Oh, and don’t make it too bloody.

After thinking for a while, Li Qi turned over his palm and took out three small arrows he made. Two of them flew out according to his thoughts and hovered between the eyebrows of the Rabbit Guardian and the Scorpion Old Man.

“Senior…Senior, spare my life!”

Sensing the breath of death, the Rabbit Guardian knew the situation and immediately begged for mercy. She looked pitiful and said:

"Senior, I am just a guardian who grows medicine. I have never done anything evil! Please forgive me, Senior!"

When Li Qi performed his method, he did not suppress his breath too much.

Judging from the righteousness revealed in his martial arts, Li Qi is the purest kind of righteous.

The Rabbit Protector thought that Li Qi was a righteous senior who had sneaked in here to slay demons and eliminate evil, which is why he said this.

The old man Scorpion standing by was not as panicked as the Rabbit Guardian. He looked Li Qi up and down and said:

"Who are you? What is your purpose in sneaking into our sect? Uh..."

As soon as Old Scorpion finished speaking, the silk thread around his throat tightened a little.

The energy on the thread was extremely sharp, and it directly cut off his protective energy and penetrated into part of his neck.

The blood flowed from his neck, causing Old Scorpion to shut up instantly and stop talking.

Li Qi played with the last small arrow in his hand and chuckled:

"Now I am asking you, not you asking me."

As he spoke, he ignored the bound old man Scorpion and turned to look at the Rabbit Guardian who was pretending to be pitiful:
"Whether you have harmed anyone or not is none of my business. I just want to ask you a few questions. You'd better... tell the truth."

As soon as Li Qi finished speaking, a ray of light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

The light seemed real in the eyes of Rabbit Protector, and it also pierced directly into her brain like a sharp sword!
When that spiritual force mixed into his mind, Rabbit Protector's eyes became a little dazed.

She no longer pretended to be pitiful, her expression was a little dull, and she instantly stopped making any other sounds.

The old man Scorpion standing by saw all of this, and his heart sank, knowing that the Rabbit Protector must have been drugged by some secret method.

But he had no way to remind the other party!

He could feel the murderous intent coming from Li Qi. If he dared to act rashly, he would be beheaded in the next second!

Without looking at the old scorpion man standing nearby, Li Qi watched the Rabbit Protector with great interest, marveling in his heart.

The move he just made was just a sudden inspiration.

When "Heavenly Soul Transfer" reaches the third level, one will have the means to attack others with the mind.

This method basically has no significant effect on grandmasters, but it is extremely effective against innate warriors who have not yet developed their own strength!

An innate warrior who is under mental attack will be judged according to his own will and mental state, and will suffer a mental blank for at least one second.

If their combat power is equal, this one second is enough for someone to kill it.

Even if there is a huge difference in combat power, one second is enough for a person to do a lot of things.

Of course, what Li Qi used just now was not the purest mental attack. He outlined the magic runes of suggestion in his mind, and then sent these runes into the Rabbit Guardian's head in the form of a mental attack!

Then, under Li Qi's higher level of mental oppression and the effect of suggestion, the Rabbit Protector was actually successfully hypnotized by Li Qi!
"It seems that Tiangong Soul Transfer has several new attack methods."

Seeing that the "suggestion technique" could work when launched in the form of a mental attack, Li Qi had another idea in mind.

In the wizarding world, there is very little magic that involves spiritual aspects.

Suggestion is a magic that is similar to the 'intimidation magic' of oppressive aura, and there is also a new magic that is combined with modern medicine...here I mean the 'modern medicine' of the magic world.

It's called 'variant hiding technique'.

It is a skill that allows one to become invisible in front of certain people by making them ignore him/her.

This is tactical-level magic, mastered by only a few magicians in England.

Coincidentally, Li Qi's cheap teacher Julie masters this magic.

Of course Li Qi also learned, but he seldom used it.

But now, through the Heavenly Soul Transfer, these magics can be used in another form. After confirming that the Rabbit Guardian had been hypnotized by him, Li Qi began his own inquiries. The first thing he asked was the identity of the old scorpion man next to him:
"Tell me first, who is he?"

"He..." The Rabbit Guardian's expression was somewhat struggling. The spirit of the innate warrior was fighting against the suggestion, but she failed to fight successfully and answered Li Qi's question truthfully:

"…He is one of the guardians of the Hidden Department, the Scorpion Taoist."

"Hidden Division? Isn't there only the Four Elephants Division in your Shengxian Sect?"

"That's the case on the surface, but there is also a hidden group that is responsible for gathering intelligence on the Central Plains. Most of the members of the hidden group are demonized warriors of the 'scorpion', 'insect', 'centipede' and 'bat' forms... They were the ones who kidnapped the saints of other sects in the Central Plains some time ago."

The Rabbit Guardian said.

Li Qi suddenly realized.

No wonder he always felt something was wrong after listening to the Four Guardians and the Twelve Gates.

Now it seems that these have been ignored.

The Four Guardians and the Twelve Gates never mentioned the existence of the Scorpion Gate or the Spider Gate.

The Zhou Que that Li Qi had seen had a scorpion tail. The bat monster he had seen at the beginning and the old bat he had seen in the city below the Tianyi Valley did not belong to the Twelve Gates.

Now it seems that these warriors whose demonic cores are scorpions, bats, and spiders are a secret department unique to the Ascension Cult, and ordinary believers are not qualified to know about them.

To understand the key, Li Qi touched the fuzzy beard growing on his chin and asked the Rabbit Guardian:
"What are the golden elixirs and fake elixirs you are talking about? Aren't the golden elixirs supplied by your Shengxian Sect? Aren't you in the Qinglong tribe responsible for making the golden elixirs?"

“We… the Qinglong tribe is responsible for making the fake pills… the Rabbit Clan provides the medicinal materials, the Dragon Clan is responsible for the production, and the Snake Clan is responsible for the experiments on the fake pills.

"The fake pills are not the golden pills. Most of the disciples actually eat fake pills, which is why they become half-human and half-demon. Only the guardians and some selected disciples eat the real golden pills..."

Fake Dan?!
So the reason why some people become half human, half demon is not because they can't adapt to the golden elixir, but because the elixir they ate is fake?
No, maybe the golden elixir can also turn a person into a half-human, half-demon, but there is also a greater chance of turning into a monster like the guardians of the Shengxian Sect, who can switch between human and monster forms freely!

However, the fake pills can only turn people into half-human, half-demon, or even out-of-control monsters!
For example, Magistrate Qian of the border town, and the irrational butcher Feng!

No wonder, although County Magistrate Qian seemed to have a good adaptability to the golden elixir, he still couldn't become like He Ru. If he had taken a fake elixir, that would make sense.

Even what He Ru gave Li Qi might not be the golden elixir, it was a fake one!

"Since you are making fake pills, then who is providing the real pills... the golden pills?"

“It’s the leader.” The Rabbit Guardian said, “… All the golden elixirs come from the leader, but none of us knows where the leader’s golden elixir comes from.”

The leader of the Shengxian Sect...the second-rank grandmaster?
Li Qi frowned.

If the source of the golden elixir is related to the second-grade grandmaster, then this matter will be even more troublesome.

Li Qi does not have the capital to face the second-grade grandmaster directly now. If he wants to find out the truth about the golden elixir from the leader of the Ascension Sect, he may have to think of other ways.

After a moment's thought, Li Qi continued to ask, "What do you mean by 'cultivation'?"

Li Qi remembered that Old Man Scorpion had told Protector Rabbit before that he wanted her to send the new disciple to Protector Dragon for "training".

This "cultivation" involves the production of fake pills, which should not be a good thing.

The Rabbit Guardian quickly replied:
"Making fake pills requires a 'human furnace'. Those who have just been pulled into the sect and have no martial arts aptitude are 'human furnaces'."

Li Qi was startled when he heard this: "What is a human furnace?"

"Feed them the prepared herbs. By practicing special secret methods, the herbs will automatically turn into pills in their bodies. They are like the furnace for refining pills, so they are called human furnaces."

"..."

really.

Li Qi sighed.

Using people as furnaces is really a human furnace. These people from the Ascension Sect are indeed worthy of being a demon sect. What they did was truly extremely demonic!
"The human furnace has refined the elixir, how are you going to take it out?"

"Open up the belly and take it out directly."

"Doing this will cost a lot of lives," Li Qi asked quietly.

The Rabbit Guardian said bluntly, "No, a human furnace can refine fifty to eighty fake pills, and one fake pill is enough for a disciple to use for more than a month. Although there are many disciples in my Shengxian Sect, generally four human furnaces are needed in a month."

After all, the real guardians eat golden elixirs, and only ordinary disciples eat fake elixirs.

Hearing what the Rabbit Protector said, Li Qi's eyes turned cold.

If the next plan did not require the use of Rabbit Guardian, Li Qi would have killed it by now!

"One last question." Li Qi asked coldly: "What is your relationship with him?"

Li Qi pointed at Old Man Scorpion.

The Rabbit Guardian replied, "He was my master before."

"Before? What about now?"

"It's my husband."

"..."

...You guys in the Shengxian Sect are really playing tricks!

After hearing what the Rabbit Protector said, Li Qi's emotions became incoherent and he couldn't help but complain in his heart.
