My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

This time, he is in seclusion and it is highly likely that he will not be able to come out.

Over the past three hundred years, more than a dozen Dao Integration Masters have attempted to become Quasi-Saints, but none of them have survived their seclusion.

This was absolutely a death sentence, so none of the surviving Dao-Merging Grandmasters had the courage to try it.

The Taoists cultivate their minds, and the sect leader wanted to see the world of the Gathering Spirits Saint.

If he becomes afraid and clings to life, his Daoist heart will show flaws, and he may never be able to continue to cultivate it.

So even if it meant his death, he was determined to try.

Qi Yu had done all he could; all that was left was to pray that the leader would emerge from seclusion safely.

Even if I don't become a Spirit Gathering Saint, it's fine, as long as the leader can emerge from seclusion alive.

The coach treated him very well, and in his heart, Qi Yu respected the coach as if he were a father, even more so than a father.

Because his father in his previous life was just an irresponsible bastard.

……

In Qingxuan Valley, in a mountain hollow, Qi Yu was whittling a piece of wood, with a large pile of green bamboo beside him.

Qi Yu comes here whenever he has free time.

Su Yue, carrying a food box, spotted Qi Yu in the distance; he was still sitting on that large rock.

"Husband, dinner is ready!" Su Yue approached and said softly.

Qi Yu turned his gaze away from the wood, nodded, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

After his dantian was destroyed, he returned to his former self; he was no longer a martial artist and could no longer use his true qi to regulate his temperature.

It's summer now, and even walking under the shade of trees, it's still stuffy and hot.

Qi Yu opened the food box and started eating, while Su Yue watched from the side with a satisfied smile on her face.

All she wanted was this ordinary, simple life, but there were always people coming to cause trouble.

"Husband, what are you doing? Why are you cutting so much bamboo and wood?" Su Yue asked curiously.

Qi Yu has been fiddling with these things for the past few days, and his focused demeanor has piqued her curiosity.

Qi Yu kept shoveling rice into his mouth. After hearing Su Yue's words, he chewed a few times, swallowed, looked at Su Yue, and smiled slightly.

"Make rocking horses for our children!"

Su Yue was taken aback by what she heard, then chuckled and shook her head, before rolling her eyes at Qi Yu.

"It's still early, and you're already making a Trojan horse? Do you think I'm easy to fool?"

Although Qi Yu was just being perfunctory, she was still quite happy.

Qi Yu shrugged, continued eating, and then spoke indistinctly.

"My lady, do you know what a cannon cart is?"

Su Yue shook her head; she really didn't know anything about artillery vehicles.

However, you can guess what it is just by its name.

Qi Yu looked at the wood and pillars on the ground, his eyes narrowed, and said, "The Li family and those righteous people, and even the people of the demonic sect, will not let me go."

"So I have to make some preparations, prepare for the worst, and even if these people unite, I need to be able to fight them."

Bombs could pose a threat to grandmasters, so Qi Yu developed rockets that could explode.

Tamper with the arrows!

It explodes immediately upon being attacked by external forces.

Specifically designed for martial artists who can project their true energy!

The design blueprints for this rocket were developed by him and that lazy bum from the Mo family.

The Mohists were truly skilled in mechanical devices. Qi Yu only had to mention it briefly before they were able to grasp the key points and devise a solution.

The rockets are very effective. If it's a salvo, you don't need too many; a hundred would be enough. Even a Grandmaster of the Condensation Realm would be bombarded to death.

Qi Yu is now preparing to build artillery vehicles specifically for use in sieges and battles between two armies.

He had considered building cannons, like the Shenwei cannon of the Qing Dynasty, but the current forging technology made the cannon barrels prone to bursting.

Don't let your own people get blown up before the enemy even gets to bomb them.

Therefore, Qi Yu adopted a simpler method, using a method similar to that of a siege crossbow to fire the projectiles.

This greatly improves security and is easy to operate.

Su Yue didn't quite understand, but with her husband's quirky and clever mind, it wouldn't be surprising if he created something.

Chapter 209 Liu Xuan

After staying in Qingxuan Valley for almost half a month, Qi Yu's injuries finally improved, but the damaged dantian and meridians could not be repaired.

Early in the morning, Qi Yu brought Su Yue to say goodbye to Liu Heguang.

Su Chengying has already found medicinal herbs in the south that can repair meridians, and now all that's left is to wait for Qi Yu to arrive.

I met Liu Heguang in the attic. Beside him was a young man who looked very strong, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. He was already a half-step grandmaster.

After Su Yue's introduction, Qi Yu learned that this was actually Liu Xuan, the young master of Qingxuan Valley and the eldest son of Liu Heguang.

He was in seclusion when I last came, so I didn't see him.

He knew relatively few people in Qingxuan Valley, besides Lu Shou and Liu Qing, there was only Zhou Yan.

However, Zhou Yan has already gone into seclusion, so we won't see him again. The next time we meet, he might already be a Grandmaster.

Qi Yu still had a good impression of Zhou Yan, since he was the one who taught him how to use true qi.

Liu Xuan knew Su Yue, and they were quite familiar with each other, so he was more curious about her than Su Yue.

Su Yue was outstanding among her peers from a young age, and even though he was eight years older than her, he couldn't beat her.

I thought Su Yue was already quite extraordinary, but I never expected that the person she casually married would be just as capable, even more troublesome than her.

He had heard about Qi Yu's story, and while he admired him, he was also somewhat curious.

To go from an ordinary person to a grandmaster in less than a year is an incredibly fast pace.

Even that young master Yan on the first floor wasn't as fast as Qi Yu.

"Is that Qi Yu? Do you want to fight me?" Liu Xuan asked.

Qi Yu, who was still talking to Liu Heguang, turned around in surprise and looked at Liu Xuan.

Although he now possesses true energy, he is unable to use it.

Fight him?

Isn't that just asking for trouble?

Let alone a half-step grandmaster, he might have a hard time even with a random fifth-rank martial artist.

Su Yue frowned, but said nothing.

If someone else had said that, Su Yue might have been angry, thinking that the other person was deliberately reopening old wounds.

But Liu Xuan is not that kind of person; Liu Xuan is simply a martial arts fanatic.

He just loves to fight with strong people, and the stronger the opponent, the harder they beat him, the happier he is.

Moreover, Liu Xuan doesn't want to fight everyone he meets; he has to be selective. He will only extend an invitation to people he finds interesting.

Those who can fight him are basically either elders of a sect or genius disciples.

He was obsessed with martial arts and fighting. A year ago, he went to the First Building and looked for Young Master Yan there.

However, he was beaten up later, but never actually beaten.

After returning, he went into seclusion, which was the same time Qi Yu had visited last time.

Qi Yu thought for a moment, then nodded and smiled, "Okay!"

He also wanted to see just how far he had declined.

Liu Heguang looked helplessly at his eldest son. He was good in every way, but he had some masochistic tendencies.

The harder you hit him, the happier he is. This is a problem, and there's no cure for it.

"Stop messing around. Qi Yu has only just recovered and his injury is under control. He shouldn't do strenuous exercise."

After a pause, Liu Heguang glanced at Qi Yu, organized his thoughts, and spoke again: "Besides, he can't gather his true energy, so what are you attacking him for?"

Liu Xuan looked at Qi Yu, thought for a moment, and said, "How about we don't use our inner energy and just compete in techniques and strength?"

Since Qi Yu cannot use true qi, then he will not use true qi.

He also happens to like this kind of visceral fighting style. The moment a fist hits the body, there is a special feeling, and that's the feeling he's obsessed with.

Qi Yu didn't think much of it, nodded, and agreed.

Let it be hand-to-hand combat, he's not afraid of anything.

……

Qingxuan Valley has a martial arts arena where disciples continue to compete in ranking battles every month.

Ranking battles usually take place at the end of the month, and the last ranking battle was less than ten days ago.

Today, however, all the young disciples of Qingxuan Valley have come to the martial arts arena.

Two people were already standing on the huge training ground, which was fifty meters in diameter: Qi Yu and Liu Xuan.

Qi Yu is a celebrity, so they naturally know him. Moreover, he is the husband of Su Yue, that witch, so it would be difficult for them not to know him.

Liu Xuan is their young master, and he and his senior brother Zhou Yan have always been hailed as the two heroes of Qingxuan Valley.

However, compared to Zhou Yan's composure, Liu Xuan was much more carefree. He was a martial arts fanatic and not interested in anything other than practicing martial arts.

To be fair, Liu Xuan is really strong. He's only half a master, yet he can fight a master to a standstill.

It's only a matter of time before he becomes a grandmaster.
