My Endless Life.

Chapter 303 'That One'

The shadows deep in the cave gradually dissipated under the light of the fire.

Hu Xiaoer held up the torch and looked inside. Only then did he discover that there were even deeper caves inside the cave.

And at the edge of the cave, there was indeed an object in the shape of a human lying upside down.

The object was covered in black and looked like a human at first glance, but a closer look revealed that it was not a human, but a piece of armor made by humans.

Seeing that the armor was made by humans, Hu Xiaoer felt relieved. He turned to the frightened Wang Niuniu and said:
"Don't worry, it's Yanjia——"

As soon as he said this, he heard the armor on the ground making a crackling sound.

Hu Xiaoer was startled and looked towards the ground quickly. He saw the puppet suddenly raised its head, and its eyes, made of special crystal, flashed orange-red light under the reflection of the fire.

"what!!"

Hu Xiaoer was frightened by the puppet, and the small arrow at his waist shot out suddenly as he thought!

The small arrow pierced Yanjia's eyebrow at a speed that the post-heavenly realm warrior could not react to!
However, with a "clang" sound, the small arrow was bounced off the puppet's forehead.

So hard? !

Hu Xiaoer's pupils shrank and he became even more panicked.

Hu Xiaoer didn't think that his little arrow was too fragile. After knowing that his master Li Qi was a master, his trust in Li Qi broke through the limit and reached the sky.

Could the things that the Grandmaster gave himself be garbage?

Judging from the speed of the arrow just now, this thing is definitely not garbage!
With the speed of this small arrow, even if it is made of just an ordinary wooden stick, if it hits an ordinary post-natal realm warrior, the result will probably be that the body will be pierced!

The fact that it was not able to penetrate the body of the Yanjia was enough to prove how strong the Yanjia was!
Just based on the outer shell of this Yanjia, it is estimated that it has the defensive power of innate internal qi defense.

In the face of the crisis, Hu Xiaoer's brain quickly completed the formula conversion.

Acquired <Yanjia, Yanjia = innate.

Can't beat it!
Thinking of this, Hu Xiaoer immediately put away the arrow and planned to take Wang Niuniu away.

But before he could turn around and run away, the Yanjia grabbed his foot with a slap!

In panic, Hu Xiaoer subconsciously kicked with his other foot, hitting Yan Jia's forehead directly! But this kick made Yan Jia grab his other foot in his hand.

Now both feet fell into Yanjia's hands.

It’s over.

Hu Xiaoer's heart skipped a beat, and he felt that he might have to die here today.

What surprised Hu Xiaoer was that after grabbing his legs, the Yanjia did nothing but made an unpleasant sound:

"You...know...Li...Qi...?"

Yanjia spoke word by word, and the sound was like two grindstones grinding against each other. Not only was it unpleasant to listen to, it was also difficult to hear clearly.

Hu Xiaoer barely understood what the other party was saying, and his eyes widened instantly:

"…You…you can speak?! No, you know my master?!"

Li Qi accepted Hu Xiaoer as his apprentice and told him his real name, as long as Hu Xiaoer didn't spread it around.

That's why Hu Xiaoer asked this question when he heard Yan Jia say this.

But Hu Xiaoer soon reacted.

its not right.

How can this Yanjia talk? !
He is alive! ?
Hu Xiaoer was shocked again.

……

The door was open and a faint smell of blood came out from inside.

Li Qi stepped in, and as far as he could see, he didn't see any moving figures.

Even with his superpowers that vaguely evolved into the ability of clairvoyance, Li Qi had never seen any living people, not even corpses.

This scene gave Li Qi an eerie sense of déjà vu.

He suddenly thought of the home of Magistrate Qian in the border town.

"Xihua Palace will not..."

Having a bad premonition in his heart, Li Qi looked at the hall in front of him which looked extremely gloomy in the heavy rain, and suddenly he wanted to retreat.

If something really happened in Xihua Palace, it must have been caused by the second-rank master.

Considering that Xihua Palace is also one of the sects that possesses the golden elixir, if the second-grade master lost control, it must have been after he ate the golden elixir.

By then, it is inevitable that you will be demonized.

A demonized second-grade master... Li Qi might not be able to defeat him.

Just as he was thinking this, a charming voice came from deep in the palace, forcing Li Qi to stop retreating.

"The people of Shengxian Sect are really becoming more and more unruly... But that's all. There's no one in my palace. Protector Li, right? Come in. I'll be waiting for you in the main hall."

This voice was somewhat charming, stirring up others' minds. Li Qi felt his heart fluttering just by hearing it, and he could hardly control his expression.

But he quickly calmed down and became extremely vigilant.

Just a voice almost made Li Qi, who had a pretty good mental will, look ugly. If he had seen her in person, God knows whether Li Qi would be bewitched by her.

Li Qi really wanted to leave, but the vague intuition in his heart prevented him from taking a single step back.

This means that if Li Qi moves forward, he may still be alive.

And if he retreats at this point, he will surely die!
He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. The cold rain flowed down the cloak, across Li Qi's mask, and fell into his collar.

The cool feeling of the rain calmed Li Qi down a little. He took a step forward and walked towards the main hall.

The new site of Xihua Palace is very spacious and majestic. Directly opposite is a staircase extending upwards, with palaces on both sides of the staircase.

In the middle of the stairs, there is an open space where a female sculpture is placed.

The sculpture had been damaged, with the entire upper body disappearing, leaving only the lower body, which was as tall as a two-story building, standing in the middle.

But judging from the lower body of the sculpture, this should not be a sculpture built in Xihua Palace.

Because the clothes draped on the lower body of the sculpture are like airy gauze, through which one can even see the unique outline of a woman.

If a young person who is inexperienced and lacks strength comes here, just looking at this sculpture will probably arouse his own lust.

No matter how you look at it, Xihua Palace was once a righteous place, so there shouldn't be such evil sculptures inside the palace.

So, this is probably what is left from the original site.

The original site where Xihua Palace was built...was it originally also a sect dominated by women?
Li Qi was guessing in his mind, but he kept walking up the stairs and walked into the door of the hall.

As soon as we arrived at the entrance of the hall, the door of the hall opened automatically.

The hall was completely dark, without a single candlelight. One could only vaguely see a rather large silhouette in the darkness, lying on a bed hidden by a gauze curtain.

Li Qi didn't dare to look at it any longer. He lowered his head after taking a look and said respectfully:
"I am the new guardian of the Shengxian Sect. I have come here to ask the Palace Master for the golden elixir..."

This was the excuse Li Qi came up with through the conversation between Scorpion Protector and Zuo Shi.

The leader and right-hand man of the Shengxian Sect have long disappeared. The Shengxian Sect is now extremely short of golden elixirs and is in urgent need of new sources to replenish them.

There are also golden elixirs inside Xihua Palace. Although the number of golden elixirs is not large, if all of them are used for the Shengxian Sect, it would be barely enough.

As for whether Xihua Palace wants to use it...

Li Qi looked at the empty Xihua Palace and thought that they were probably not needed.

I guess Xihua Palace is now only in name only.

After hearing Li Qi's purpose of coming, the figure behind the gauze curtain moved. Li Qi looked at her changing figure with a little obsession in his eyes, but then he used a mental piercing on himself.

The severe pain made his head clearer, and he became more alert to the person in front of him.

Even though I couldn't see the whole picture through the gauze curtain, I had already had such a big reaction.

If this were a real face-to-face encounter, Li Qi would probably be easily blinded by desire.

We have to find a way.

Li Qi lowered his head and began to use "Heavenly Soul Transfer" with all his strength, trying to gather spiritual seeds in his mind that could explode at the critical moment.

After moving a few times, the figure stopped moving, as if it was just adjusting its lying position.

"Haha, what's the matter? Your leader won't give you any golden elixirs?"

The figure then said.

Hearing this, Li Qi's mind worked quickly and he determined that the person in front of him should have also lost contact with the leader of the Shengxian Sect.

Thinking of this, Li Qi immediately replied:
"Yes, the leader and the right envoy went on a long journey some time ago and have not returned yet. Now the offensive of the righteous is fierce, and my Shengxian Sect is at the forefront. Half of my twelve guardians have died. If there is no more supply of golden elixirs, I am afraid..."

The power of the Ascension Sect lies in the fact that they can transform into monsters freely.

After transforming into a monster, his strength increased dramatically, and a peak fourth-grade master could fight with an early third-grade master.

Two demonized fourth-grade peak guardians could even fight head-on against a third-grade early-stage grandmaster without losing!
But without the golden elixir, the Shengxian Sect would still be inferior to the famous sects.

Therefore, it is reasonable and completely consistent with Li Qi's current identity that he is eager and eager for the golden elixir.

"Haha, Golden Pill..." The figure on the bed sighed incomprehensible. She was silent for a while before she said faintly:

"There are only a few golden elixirs left in my Xihua Palace. That person has achieved his goal and no longer needs to supply golden elixirs to us. Dharma Protector Li, I'm afraid you came here in vain."

that one?
Li Qi's pupils under the mask shrank slightly.

Is there someone behind Xihua Palace? Is the one who provided the golden elixir the "one" mentioned by Yin Xia?
Judging from Yin Xia's previous tone, she addressed the leader of the Shengxian Sect as 'your leader', so we can first rule out the possibility that the leader of the Shengxian Sect is 'that one' she was referring to.

In other words, the 'one' who provided the golden elixir behind the Shengxian Sect and Xihua Palace is the real source of the golden elixir!

When Li Qi heard the news, he knew that he had made the right decision today.

If his guess was correct, he might actually be able to find out the true origin of the golden elixir today.
