Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

"Dabai." Jiang Li called Dabai, but Dabai was holding Yue Ji's arm tightly and refused to let go. Jiang Li grabbed it by the scruff of the neck and she was still reluctant until Jiang Li called out, "I brought you a lot of fresh fish."

Only then did Dabai let go of his paws and came to Jiang Li's shoulder and lay down obediently.

"Then I'll go back first?" Jiang Li said.

"Go." Yue Ji responded softly. She didn't know why, but her intuition always made her feel that something was a little strange, but she couldn't tell where it was. She looked at Jiang Li's departing back, her eyes slightly confused.

....................................

Jiang Li brought Dabai back to the bamboo building and came to the chair under the bamboo building. Jiang Li took out the fresh fish he had caught earlier, but Dabai did not speak immediately. Instead, he kept licking the palm of his hand with his tongue.

"Why do you always lick me?" Jiang Li pushed Dabai away several times, but Dabai came closer with a look of disgust and continued to lick him. As soon as he asked this question, the next second, the voice of a proud girl suddenly rang out.

"You are stained with bad luck, and I am helping you eat it away."

Jiang Li was so frightened that he shuddered all over. He lowered his head and looked at Dabai, whose eyes were full of disgust. "Can you speak now?"

"Master Yueji fed me a lot of delicious food, and also fed me the inner elixir of spirit beasts, so that I could speak human language. Do you think everyone would feed me only dried fish and chicken breasts like you? I am a Yuan Devourer! Yuan Devourer!"

"...I didn't even receive an instruction manual when I raised you."

"That's because you're stupid."

Jiang Li slapped Dabai on the butt and said, "Hey, now that you can talk, you look down on your master?"

Dabai looked at it with disdain again, lowered his head and ran to eat the herring, but Jiang Li came to his senses at this moment, and his voice became a little hurried, "Can you swallow bad luck?"

"I am a Yuan-devouring Beast! When I grow up, I can devour the world. What's the point of devouring this little bit of misfortune?!"

"Then I'll take you to find someone in a few days to help me."

Dabai wagged his tail and asked, "Did your bad luck get contagious from someone else?"

"It seems so."

"How long have you been with her?"

"Two days."

"I have been infected with all this bad luck in just two days. I am still a child. If I meet the one who spreads bad luck, do you want me to die?"

"So how much can you devour?"

"If you have been infected with this bad luck in just two days, then I will have to wait until the infancy of that person to recover from the bad luck."

"Aren't you still a useless cat?"

"This cat needs to eat the inner elixirs of monsters! Eat the treasures of heaven and earth! Only then can it evolve! If you didn't only feed this cat with dried fish every day, would this cat just meow all day long?!"

"Okay, okay, okay, whatever type of elixir you want to eat, I'll find it for you. When you can devour the bad luck on her body, I'll take you to find her."

"One Jindan stage demon beast elixir a day, within a week, I can barely transform a little bit, then one Yuanying stage demon beast elixir a day, a week later, one Duxiaojie stage demon beast elixir a day, after another week, one Huashen stage demon beast elixir a day, after a month, I should be able to swallow up the bad luck."

Jiang Li roughly calculated that it was about two months. He grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Can't you just take a pill from the Void Refining Stage at a time?"

"So you want me to die so badly?!" Dabai came over and bit his hand viciously, but it didn't hurt. Jiang Li grabbed her tail and squeezed it gently. Dabai's voice suddenly became urgent again, "Let go of my tail!"

"Why do you sound so effeminate?"

"This cat is originally a female!!!"

"Then can you become a cat girl?!"

"You'd better go to hell!" Dabai swept his tail disdainfully, "Okay, the energy for speaking is gone, this cat is burned out."

After she said this, she stopped talking. Jiang Li thought she didn't want to pay attention to him, but when he pinched her tail she just meowed. It seemed that she really couldn't speak.

Jiang Li thought it was quite magical. He had obtained Dabai from the system. At that time, Dabai was still a little kitten. It was so well-behaved and obedient. It would snuggle in his arms and sleep with him every night. It was a pity that the cat became more and more disobedient as it grew older.

It turns out that Dabai can talk. When I didn’t know about it in the past, I didn’t think it was a big deal. But now that I think about it, when he was talking to himself and doing stupid things in the house in the past, the look in her eyes that looked at him as a retard actually meant that he was really a retard.

Jiang Li opened the box that Zhu Taozhi had given him, and inside was an ice-blue, top-grade iris. Top-grade medicinal herbs are of inestimable value, and Zhu Taozhi's luck is truly incredible. However, Jiang Li has no need for this iris at the moment. He does not need this flower to improve his cultivation, because if he continues to improve his cultivation, he will die.

It would be better to use it to... thank Sect Master Mu.

After three incense sticks of time, Jiang Li stood in front of the gate of Hanyuan Mountain and stretched out his hand to knock on the door gently.

The door opened quickly, and Mu Xuezhi was trimming the flowers and plants in the courtyard. Jiang Li was holding the iris in his hand, and his eyes fell on Mu Xuezhi.

No matter how many times he looked at her, Jiang Li felt that Mu Xuezhi's eyes were truly incredibly beautiful. Those eyes were proud and clear, as bright as the moon in the night sky.

At this moment, she was wearing a white Taoist robe, looking simple, elegant and calm.

"You're back?" Mu Xuezhi said calmly.

"Yes, but I encountered some accidents on the way. I can't use my sword energy for a month, so I can't practice sword with the Sect Master."

Jiang Li walked up to Mu Xuezhi and handed the iris to her naturally.

Mu Xuezhi lowered her head slightly, a hint of subtle weirdness flashed in her eyes, and then she became calm again the next second, "I don't need this kind of thing."

"Then the sect master can be handed over to Mu Bingning. She will need it to overcome her minor tribulation."

"Then why don't you give it to her yourself?"

"I'm afraid she'll get the wrong idea."

"Then why did you give it to her?"

"Love her and love her dog. After all, she is the sect master's daughter." Seeing Mu Xuezhi's unfriendly expression, Jiang Li hurriedly changed his words, "Besides, the Zhongzhou competition will be held soon. If I can help Mu Bingning improve her cultivation, it will also be good for the sect. The sect is my home, and I always want to think about what I can do for the sect."

But it seemed that Mu Xuezhi didn't listen to Jiang Li's attempt to make up for her loss. She looked at Jiang Li in front of her with cold eyes and a sneer appeared at the corner of her lips.

"It's only been half a month since we last met, and you seem to be getting bolder and bolder?"

"If I'm going to be criticized for telling the truth, then won't I have to lie to the Sect Master from now on?"

Mu Xuezhi sneered, "You love me so much that I love my dog ​​too. You... love me?"

"Rather than love, it's more like admiration. People always have a crush on those who are stronger than themselves, not to mention that the Sect Master is so beautiful. I think it's hard for any man to refuse the Sect Master's appearance and figure. Although I know it will end in vain, sometimes I can't help but want to bump my head against her and give it a try."

Mu Xuezhi's aura of cultivation leaked out a little, "I can make you unable to be a man!"

Jiang Li smiled bitterly, "I just told the truth subconsciously. If the Sect Master doesn't like it, I will keep it secret next time."

Chapter 166: Chapter Jiang Jin Farewell to Bai Sheng

Mu Xuezhi's eyes were still cold.

But Jiang Li had long been accustomed to such coldness, he didn't care. After staring at Mu Xuezhi for a few seconds, Jiang Li smiled instead.

"Why are you staring at me like that, Master?"

This question actually stumped Mu Xuezhi. Jiang Li's previous words might have been a bit frivolous, but looking at his indifferent eyes, it seemed that if she took it too seriously, she would be wrong again.

What's more, Jiang Li came to discuss sword moves with her every day some time ago. As the saying goes, you should be grateful to those who give you what you have received. So she withdrew her gaze, but Jiang Li said again.

"I'm just saying it. Anyway, over the past thousands of years, countless men have admired the Sect Master, and the Sect Master has always been like a banished immortal, never tempted by any earthly desires. Perhaps it is because of this that I have a special liking for the Sect Master. In the past, I always thought that as long as a woman is a woman, she will always have weaknesses, flaws, and will always need to rely on someone. After getting to know the Sect Master, I realized how one-sided my thoughts were. It turns out that fairies who are not worldly really exist in this world."

"It is precisely because I know that the Sect Master will never love me that I admire him. If the Sect Master loves me, it will only shatter my fantasy."

"Can I sit for a while?" Jiang Li looked at the chairs on the side. There were two chairs next to the tea table.

"Please sit down." Mu Xuezhi also came to the tea table and sat down. Jiang Li naturally made tea and asked, "How is the Sect Master's sword power?"

Mu Xuezhi slightly raised her fingertips, and a trace of sword energy appeared. Compared with her previous sword energy, this trace of sword energy was actually a bit weaker. Jiang Li could feel it very clearly, and he also saw the confusion in Mu Xuezhi's eyes.

It was natural to be confused. Her previous sword power that had cut off all emotions and thoughts had brought her sword power to an end, and she could not advance even an inch. If she wanted to reach a higher level, she could only break through and then rebuild.

"Speaking of which, why did the Sect Master choose this sword path at that time?"

"I was tired of many things, so I chose this naturally."

The purpose of cutting off emotions and thoughts is to make the sword more powerful, but making the sword more powerful is itself a kind of desire, which is something that becomes more and more self-contradictory as one practices more. Fortunately, her sword heart is clear, and she has not gone astray in all these years.

"Then it seems that I can only figure it out slowly." Jiang Li nodded, raised the teacup, put it to his lips and took a sip. Mu Xuezhi glanced at him indifferently, and said to him with rare concern, "You seem to have gained a lot from this trip to the secret realm."

She seemed to be hinting at something. After all, she could easily tell at a glance that Jiang Li's cultivation had already reached the late Nascent Soul stage.

"My cultivation level has increased a bit, but I haven't gained anything else."

Does it count as winning the hearts of the two little princesses of the Northern Territory?

"The end of the year is the day of the Five Regions Competition." Mu Xuezhi looked into his eyes.

"I don't want to go." Jiang Li refused decisively.

"The Canglan Secret Realm is the largest secret realm in the entire Canglan Domain. It contains many treasures from the ancient times. Since you are qualified to participate in it, why don't you go?"

"I don't care about those." Jiang Li's answer was simple.

Jiang Li didn't want to participate in any Five Realms Competition anymore. He just wanted to simply stay in Zhongzhou and spend his days in Xuantian Dao Ji Sect. When he got bored of it one day, he would go down the mountain and find a place to hang out for a while. After that, he would have to go home anyway.

Mu Xuezhi looked at him deeply, "You said earlier that the sect is your home, but now you are reluctant to do something for the sect."

"...I really don't want to, why force it, Sect Master?"

In the end, Mu Xuezhi didn't say anything else. She just raised her hand, and several elixirs flew out from her sleeves. These were elixirs used to increase the strength of the body, cleanse the essence and marrow, refine the skin and temper the bones. These elixirs were the most needed during the minor tribulation. What's more, what Mu Xuezhi took out were not ordinary things. They were worth almost one million spirit stones.

"Since your cultivation is about to pass the minor tribulation, I'm sure you can use these pills."

“I don’t lack these things.”

Jiang Li really didn't lack these pills. His current body was definitely very strong. After all, he had stolen several very strong physical constitutions from the physical cultivation senior sister of the main sect. However, Mu Xuezhi's tone became a little higher. "I told you to keep it."

Jiang Li just smiled and said, "No need."

Of course he knew why Mu Xuezhi was so kind, because she wanted to repay Jiang Li for accompanying her in sword practice. This favor made her feel like a thorn in her throat, and she felt uncomfortable in her heart, but Jiang Li didn't want to let her feel comfortable just like that.

If she felt comfortable, Jiang Li would feel uncomfortable.

"You want to disobey me, right?" Mu Xuezhi raised her eyebrows slightly.

Jiang Li looked at Mu Xuezhi's eyes helplessly. He finally collected all the pills, but at this moment he also stood up and came behind Mu Xuezhi. However, he had just stretched out his hand and had not yet touched Mu Xuezhi's shoulder when Mu Xuezhi's sword had already enveloped him.

Mu Xuezhi didn't say anything, but Jiang Li said gently, "Then I will also give the Sect Master a small gift."

"doing what?"

"How could I have the guts to take advantage of you, Master? Just rest assured, Master."

The sword energy around Mu Xuezhi eventually dissipated, and Jiang Li's hand was placed on her shoulder. At this moment, she was standing behind Mu Xuezhi. She could see the curve of her white dress supported by her chest when she looked down. Mu Xuezhi's figure was definitely plump, but she looked slim. Jiang Li just took a look, and then calmly used his spiritual energy to sense Mu Xuezhi's acupoints.

After reaching the Mahayana stage, one can use one's own spiritual energy to break through the acupoints. Obviously, Mu Xuezhi's talent is particularly high. Her forty-nine acupoints are all working at the moment, but it's a pity that they are not completely connected into a thread.

Jiang Li slightly separated some of his newly recovered spiritual power, manipulated his spiritual energy to enter Mu Xuezhi's body, and then began to bury the fulcrums of silk threads in each of her acupoints, and used a special method to connect all of her acupoints. Mu Xuezhi looked inward at her body, and at first she didn't understand what Jiang Li was going to do, but when she saw that every one of her acupoints were connected together, and a small golden vortex appeared in the center of her qi sea, she suddenly understood.

This is a method of opening acupoints that is only found in ancient books and legends, and the golden vortex in the qi sea is the fiftieth acupoint, which is the proof of the creation of the Tianyan Divine Acupoint!

Unfortunately, before she had the time to thank Jiang Li, she suddenly felt a little warmth on her shoulder.

She lowered her head, her shoulders were stained scarlet with blood, and even the front of her shirt was stained with a bit of crimson. She was startled and turned her head. Jiang Li was covering his mouth at this moment, and blood was flowing out from between his fingers.

This also made her unable to take care of the dress that was stained by his vomited blood just now, and she looked at him, "What's wrong with you?"

"I was a little too careless. My soul was already injured. I thought it was fine, but I lost control and accidentally moved the wound on my body, staining the sect master's dress. I'm sorry."

Jiang Li's eyes were full of apology, and they looked as pure as they could be. Mu Xuezhi stretched out her hand and gently placed it on his chest. The spiritual energy instantly entered his limbs and bones. She could accurately sense the weakness of Jiang Li's meridians. He clearly had such serious hidden injuries on his body. For a moment, Mu Xuezhi suddenly wanted to curse Jiang Li. Why did this guy do such a stupid thing?

But she finally chose to remain silent, and began to heal his injuries with her spiritual energy. Her white and tender palms were pressed against his chest, and there was only seriousness in her eyes. Jiang Li looked at her cheek, gradually becoming absent-minded.

"When did you master this secret method?"

"I got it by chance in a secret realm a long time ago, but it consumes a lot of my soul." Jiang Li made up a lie casually. Mu Xuezhi was silent for a moment. "Since you know this, can't you wait until your injury is healed before helping me like this?"

"I don't like owing favors to others. I always feel uncomfortable in my heart."

Mu Xuezhi originally wanted to say that she just wanted to repay Jiang Li for practicing sword with her, but in the end she couldn't say it. She was always like this, sometimes she would think a lot but never say it.

She has been silent for too long. In the past, no one listened when she wanted to speak. Now that someone is willing to listen, she doesn't want to speak anymore.

"My injury is not a big deal. I will be fine after a day or two of rest. Injuries during the practice are common. Sect Master, don't worry."

"Do you think I'm worried about you?" Mu Xuezhi took back her hand that was pressed on his chest, "I just can't accept that someone is being stupid because of me."

Jiang Li smiled helplessly, "I won't do that next time."

He coughed twice again, then took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. As the saying goes, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. If he hadn't deliberately used his spiritual energy to damage his meridians, he wouldn't have spit out so much blood. But if he hadn't done it, he wouldn't have seen the panic in Mu Xuezhi's eyes at that moment.

Pain can always be ignored. Jiang Li doesn't care about the pain. What he fears more is the emptiness in his heart. He always looks at the sunset in countless evenings, feeling the emptiness in his heart getting bigger little by little. That feeling is more painful than being stabbed with a knife twice.

"I'm fine now, Master, go change your clothes."
