Chapter 146 Sleepiness and Pillows

Xiao Jing had been talking to Mei Zhangjian in the room for quite a while. If Li Wuxiang held his breath and concentrated, he should be able to hear a rough idea of ​​what they were saying.

But he didn't want to pry into their privacy at this time, so he just listened to the sporadic voices of the two. At first, it was mostly Xiao Jing who was talking, and then Mei Zhangjian started to talk more, and then there were some laughter.

When the sun completely fell behind the sea of ​​clouds, Li Wuxiang went to the room on the left.

The furnishings in Lou He's room were also very simple, similar to Mei Zhangjian's main hall, with a bed, table, chairs, and cabinets. There was a small separate room on the side close to the cliff, with a small alchemy furnace inside, which had turned black from smoke and fire.

Li Wuxiang looked around but didn't find anything good, so he sat back on the bed.

It was getting dark outside and the sound of pine waves was getting louder. He listened to the sound and slowly calmed his mind. He spent more than half an hour practicing breathing exercises and inhaling spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy in Youjiuyuan is very abundant, similar to the secret realm of Ranshan. The difference is that it is not as overbearing and sharp as in the secret realm, but more gentle. If you practice here before forming a pill, you should feel that the speed of spiritual energy accumulation is very fast. You may have to come out of meditation and rest for a while after meditating for a while.

But now, Li Wuxiang could hardly feel the spiritual power accumulating in his body. Maybe a little bit? But it was so tiny that it was basically non-existent.

This situation had also been experienced by Jinshui when he had just started practicing the chapter of Embracing the Dew and Embracing the Clouds. But the difference between this time and that time was that the power of will from Deyang City had also become less and weaker, almost the same as the effect of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth during Qi training.

During the few days outside Youjiuyuan, Mei Zhangjian told him a lot about the sect. But in terms of cultivation, except for asking him to take good care of the elixir and replenish qi and blood when they first met, he never mentioned it again. Just now, Xiao Jingyi said that after the elixir is formed, it is completely different from before, and it will become more strenuous. Now that he tried it so seriously, he knew that Xiao Jingyi was right.

Just follow the rules. Even if I am a Qing Nang Immortal with the power of vows, I don't know how long it will take to pass the "nurturing pill" stage and enter the "cultivating pill" stage.

He opened his eyes in the darkness, rested his hands on his knees, and drew slowly with his thumb and index finger.

He is actually a person of low character and desire. Of course, perhaps due to his past life experience, he has not figured out what he really likes.

He certainly liked the idea of ​​practicing cultivation, but due to his special life experience in this world, the path of cultivation for him was incredibly smooth, so he never felt that this was difficult like others did, and therefore he did not take it as seriously as others did.

Actually, there is another reason. It has been thousands of years since Donghuang Taiyi preached. There must be many strong people in this world, many of whom are beyond my reach. In this case, there is no need to rush about this matter. Save your life, take your time, and have a good look at this magical world.

You see, the competition is so fierce and the internal competition is so serious that the cost of joining in and fighting hard will become too high, so it is better to lie down comfortably.

——These are all old thoughts.

And now, at this moment, the situation in the world suddenly reminded him of an experience he had in the past.

In the past, in his spare time, he would play games on his mobile phone to experience what it was like to be a normal person.

One time, he randomly picked a server that he liked, registered, logged in, and joined. After playing for a day or two, he suddenly found that his combat power ranking was actually at a relatively high position. So he was a little surprised and checked the opening date of the server he was currently on.

Then he found out that the server had just been opened the day he joined. He had thought that there must be many big guys in this game, and it was not something that he could catch up with just playing casually, but then he found out that he was actually a big guy.

The situation in the world today is very similar to his experience.

I used to think that there were many powerful people in the world over the past three thousand years, but now I know that there was a major reshuffle three hundred years ago. Even if there are still some powerful people, they have become very rare. My recent golden elixir cultivation ranks fourteenth in the Sword Sect. If I were to go to the Six Sects of the Mysterious Sect, I would easily become the lord of a city, almost a frontier official.

So, it seems that he caught up with the time when the new version was just released?
At this time, he didn't want to be lazy anymore.

What's more, in the near future, the war between the Six Sects and the Sword Sect might break out again. Now that he has chosen a side and registered with the True Form Sect, it is impossible for him to stay out of it.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth is available everywhere, and it is very useful before forming a pill. After forming a pill, for someone like him, the help of these things is minimal, and the improvement of realm mainly depends on the essence of the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

People are the essence of spiritual energy, and cultivators are the essence of essence. But as Mei Zhangjian said, after the Dan is formed, it is to prepare for the Yang Shen. At this time, if people are used as medicine, let alone how they will survive the heavenly tribulation in the future, even the evil thoughts in their hearts will affect the future Yuanying and Yang Shen, and they may become a cruel and bloodthirsty demon.

So from now on, he has to plan diligently for himself.

He just sat cross-legged on the bed, listening to the sound of pine trees outside and the chattering of the two women in the main house, and slowly thinking things over in his mind.

First, you need to replenish your Qi and blood. This is considered paying off the debt for this body. The Shijie Collection lists many Qi and blood replenishing pills and prescriptions, which require a lot of natural materials and treasures. The clan seems to have a lot, but according to Xiao Jingyi, you have to do something in exchange. In fact, this is quite good, which shows that the swordsmen are still clear-headed. Although they are open-minded, they have not made a mess.

After replenishing the Qi and blood, he was no longer a lame Jindan, and could officially start to cultivate the elixir. When cultivating the elixir, it required the condensation of spiritual energy, the catalysis of drugs, and the treasures of heaven and earth. But Mei Zhangjian said that the secondary medicines needed for cultivating the elixir would be prepared in the sect, and he only needed to find the main medicine himself.

Well, tomorrow I'll go to Mei Zhangjian to ask what the King's Medicine is. If it's easy to get, I'll get it myself. If it's not easy, I'll do some work in the sect like others do, and see if I can exchange it with the sect.

It's great to have an organization like this. It's safe, reliable, and solid.

The prerequisite is that this organization will not be destroyed by the Six Sects of Xuan Sect in a while, and that life in this organization will not be too difficult.

For example, Mei Zhangjian seemed to be having a hard time.

Today, he had actually seen clearly that although they were brothers and sisters, they were still divided into different factions. His own lineage was not in a good situation in the sect, and Mei Zhangjian, as the founder, was even more of a punching bag. According to the temperament of the swordsmen, they should not be in debt in terms of material, but there must be disadvantages that he had not thought of yet, and he should slowly understand them in the future.

Then... then there are the personnel relations. If you want to stay here for a long time, you need to sort out the personnel relations.

The big leader Jiang Jie is okay, but he seems to be a little soft-hearted, and can be coaxed into a good mood by a poem. Judging from his reaction to the poem, he should feel that he is enduring humiliation and preserving the seeds of vitality for the Sword Sect. If this is the only thought, then he is really not talented. If there are other reasons that he is not aware of, then his ability is actually worrying - he should at least come up with an excuse so as not to cause too much controversy within the sect.

Previously, I thought that Mei Zhangjian, who was about to become a Yangshen, was the second leader, but now it seems that it should be Cui Jianzhu. Cui Jianzhu's views are closest to Jiang Jie's - one wants to keep a low profile to preserve strength, and the other thinks that they can cross the Jiyou Sea and leave Zhonglu. Anyway, there is no conflict in their views.

Mei Zhangjian was one of those who didn't even know what he wanted. He felt that Jiang Jie's considerations made sense, but he also felt that he shouldn't do that. If she was an ordinary Jindan, her situation would be much better than it is now. Unfortunately, her cultivation was second in the sect, and Master Cui seemed to want to suppress her to prevent her from influencing more people and interfering with his own plans.

To be honest, if I were Master Cui, I would do the same.

Because from a personal perspective, Li Wuxiang can actually understand Cui Jianzhu's thoughts. Jiang Jie and Mei Zhangjian, in essence, are not thinking about the swordsman, but Taiyi. For Taiyi, they can struggle and survive, just to save him from suppression.

As for Sword Master Cui, he should be thinking about the swordsman himself. After crossing the Sea of ​​Silence, according to what Sword Master Mei said, no one would know Taiyi in a few hundred years - so what? Taiyi was the destiny of humanity. If no one remembered him, he could just create another destiny of humanity.

If they really can't figure it out, the swordsmen can rest and recuperate elsewhere instead of shedding blood for Taiyi. Humanity and luck, there must be humanity before there can be luck. Before Taiyi became a Taoist, was there no one in the world?

——These must be Master Cui Jian’s views.

If Lou He had joined the lineage of Cui Jianzhu in the beginning, perhaps he would have sneaked into the main temple of the Zhenxing Sect with the support of Cui Jianzhu.

However, Li Wuxiang knew that he himself was not in a position to judge others in this matter - because he now had the true spirit of Taiyi in his body, and before he had the power to say no, he had to sit back and watch and allow the swordsmen to continue to bleed for Taiyi.

So he exhaled slowly and closed his eyes again. Mei Zhangjian didn't seem to need to sleep anymore, but he still wanted to take a nap.

But not long after, he suddenly heard two soft noises from the window frame. He thought it was a pine cone that was blown down by the wind and hit the window frame, but then he heard a voice: "Hello, Li Wuxiang? Your name is Li Wuxiang, right?"

It sounded like a young male voice, full of curiosity. Li Wuxiang suddenly opened his eyes, and his heart was slightly alert before he calmed down - a Yuanying and a Jindan were right next door, so they must not be bad guys. He stretched his legs out of bed and walked to the window, pushed it open and looked out, and sure enough, he saw a young face.

He was handsome and likable, and looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, still a teenager. At first glance, he looked like a person of the same generation as me.

The owner of this face seemed to have not expected Li Wuxiang to suddenly open the window. He was slightly stunned and took a step back.

Li Wuxiang leaned his arm on the windowsill and looked towards the main house: "Yes, I am. Who are you?"

"Li Ke, my name is Li Ke." The young man bowed to Li Wuxiang, but fell silent, as if he had forgotten what he was going to say.

But Li Wuxiang remembered - when he was outside with Mei Zhangjian, he saw a young man sitting on top of a stone pillar, and he smiled at him. It seemed to be him.

Li Wuxiang smiled at him and said, "Okay, Li Ke, do you want to talk to me about something?"

"Oh, oh, something's up." Li Ke thought for a moment, reached into his arms and pulled out a paper bag, handed it to the windowsill and spread it out, "This is for you, I wonder if you like it or not."

Li Wuxiang looked down and saw some preserved fruits, pine nuts, dried meat and the like mixed together. He thought that the person who sent these things must have prepared them temporarily and pieced them together.

But what's the point of delivering snacks in the middle of the night?
Seeing his expression, Li Ke scratched his head: "Oh, you don't like it? I thought everyone in the Mei Zhangjian lineage liked to eat it."

Huh? Mei Zhangjian likes it. Oh, Zeng Jianqiu seems to like it too. He ate the fried pancake with great relish that day.

"I like it very much." Li Wuxiang smiled, "But what do you want to talk to me about?"

Li Ke looked towards the main house and took two steps closer to the windowsill: "Is it that Senior Brother Zeng and Senior Brother Pan... I just heard that they are not very good?"

Li Wuxiang looked at him for a moment before saying, "Yeah."

This Li Ke should not be from the lineage of Cui Jianzhu. What is he doing here at Jiuzhu Peak?
"Ah, I don't mean anything else. I just heard about you. You know, you are very famous in the sect." Li Ke whispered, "Did you first kill a walking member of the True Form Sect in Ranshan, and then kill the mayor of Coffin City with Mei Zhangjian in Coffin City? It's amazing. I heard that our Sword Sect hasn't been so powerful for many years. I really admire you!"

Now Li Wuxiang was sure that this person was looking for him for something.

He was no longer in a hurry, but leaned against the windowsill with a smile: "Oh? I don't know, how did you say that about me?"

Li Ke's expression suddenly relaxed, and he was beaming with joy: "You must be saying that you made us feel proud. The Xuan Sect has messed with our You Jiu Yuan several times, but we just kept silent and didn't attack the Xuan Sect. Now we heard that a swordsman who has never been to You Jiu Yuan has killed the Zhen Xing Sect's walker. This is really a relief!"

"A few days ago, I heard that you and Mei Zhangjian destroyed the Coffin Mountain. That's even more-even more, oh!" Li Ke banged on the wall. "No matter what they say, we newcomers to the sect think that this is what a swordsman should do! It's much better than going out in the wind and rain all day just to write and draw!"

Li Wuxiang shook his head: "The rumor is that the mountain of coffins was destroyed and the owner of the mountain was killed? That's not quite right."

Li Ke was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"

"Mei Zhangjian stayed outside the coffin city for three days, and killed two more city lords of the Zhenxing Sect one by one with his sword." Li Wuxiang said seriously, "When he killed the first one, he was beheaded before he could react. The second one was scared silly, but was too embarrassed to retreat immediately. Mei Zhangjian walked to the top of the slope and showed up, telling him that he was here to collect debts for the disciples of the Sword Sect - he was talking about Senior Brother Helian."

"The city lord was so scared that he said, 'You killed two city lords, so it's time to pay your debt?' Mei Zhangjian sneered and said, 'Do you think your lives are worthy of being compared with the lives of the disciples of the Sword Sect?' The city lord knew that Mei Zhangjian was determined to take his life, so he quickly said that the Six Divisions of the Mysterious Sect were planning to encircle and suppress You Jiuyuan again, and asked if he could be spared if he said this? Mei Zhangjian smiled coldly, and the man's head fell to the ground - that's actually what happened."

Li Ke's eyes lit up and he waved his fist. "Yes! Mei Zhangjian said it well! What about you? We heard that you were in the coffin city - the mountain master invited the five spirits, right? "

Li Wuxiang smiled faintly: "It's nothing surprising that he looks a little bigger and fiercer. I told him to learn from your skills - and then he used the Plum Palm Sword, but I didn't get to experience it."

"You... Senior Brother Li, you have achieved the Golden Core in just a few months, right?"

"lucky."

Li Ke let out two long breaths and smacked his lips: "Really, I wish I were as good as you, Senior Brother Li..."

Li Wuxiang smiled and said, "Okay, what do you want?"

Li Ke came closer and said, "I just... this is what happened. Senior Brother Li, you know that the sect will hold a meeting in three days, right?"

"Ok, I know."

Mei Zhangjian had said this when he came here. The Sword Sect holds a meeting every six months, which in his opinion is very much like a mid-year meeting - issuing reward and punishment information, arranging future work, and doing a half-year summary. Not everyone is required to be present, but those who can come back will come back. According to what she said, whether he will be the Sword Master or not is up to him at this time.

However, looking at Master Cui's behavior during the day, I'm afraid that Master Mei and I will not have an easy time by then.

"Well, this, how should I put it, it's just..." Li Ke frowned and scratched his head, as if he hadn't figured out how to organize his words, or maybe he was not very used to what he was about to say.

Li Wuxiang had been staring at him. The swordsman's age could not be judged from his appearance, but could be guessed from his body movements and language.

Li Ke looked like he was about seventeen or eighteen years old, but he should be older, but not much older. He didn't look like a scheming person, but seemed quite simple.

So Li Wuxiang asked directly: "What do you want me to do?"

Li Ke was stunned for a moment, but seemed relieved, and immediately said: "I want you to help me find Wansui!"

Li Wuxiang was silent for a moment: "Why do you want me to help you find it?"

"Because, this, um... that is, Senior Brother Zeng and Senior Brother Pan are all because of something that happened to Senior Brother Lou, and Senior Brother Lou is from the lineage of Mei Zhangjian... So when the time comes, when the council meeting comes, the clan, the clan will definitely ask about Mei Zhangjian's matter." Li Ke said the first few sentences, and then his words became smoother. "But Wansui can cure them. If we find Wansui, then the matter will be resolved by the time of the council meeting. We all admire you, Senior Brother Li, and Mei Zhangjian, and Senior Brother Li, you are a Jindan swordsman! So, so they asked me to come--"

Li Ke paused, his face suddenly reddened: "Actually, I want it too."

"Who do you mean?"

"That's us. We just got started. We are not from the lineage of Sword Master Cui. We all admire you and Sword Master Mei!"

These words should not have come from Li Ke himself. Either someone taught him, or he discussed them with "we". Perhaps because it was such a naked declaration of interests, he was embarrassed to say it out loud.

So, there is a young and vigorous war faction in the Sword Sect? Interesting, it is really small but has all the necessary organs.

Li Wuxiang nodded: "But Mei Zhangjian said that he hasn't seen that thing in three hundred years."

"So you agree, right?!" Li Ke's eyes widened. "I know where to find that thing!"
