Chapter 162 Tips
Li Wuxiang carefully sorted out the pills on hand. He recognized some of them, so he ate them all. He didn't recognize some of them, but after smelling them, he thought they should be fine, so he ate them too. His skin didn't have any real internal organs or flesh, and it would be a waste and risk for an ordinary person to take so many pills in a short period of time, but he didn't feel bad and didn't care.

There were still some left, and they looked like they might be used to harm people, so he wanted to collect them, but at this moment the python in the cave moved slightly, as if it smelled the scent of medicine. Li Wuxiang put those things on the ground and glanced at it: "Can you understand human language?"

The python's eyes glowed yellow in the darkness, and it looked like it nodded, or shook its head according to animal instinct.

He was possessed by an evil spirit in the lower world of Youjiuyuan before, and many things were left in his mind. According to those things, he knew that this python seemed to be called a chicken-headed python, and it was not afraid of poisonous pills. He pointed at the pills on the ground and said, "These are poisonous. If you can't understand human language and you think they are delicious, you can eat them. If you die, I will eat your flesh and blood. If you can understand human language, it's up to you."

The chicken-headed python spit out its tongue, as if to laugh at him or to make a face. But after a while, it rolled up its tongue again and ate all the poison pills on the ground, then slowly moved its body around him and rubbed out of the cave.

This was the first time that Li Wuxiang encountered a spirit that might have some spiritual power, and he was just joking. The golden entanglement was torn apart, and the pain was dozens of times greater than physical injury. He was no longer in the mood to care about it, and continued to sit and try his luck, wanting to see if he could relieve the pain first.

After a while, the chicken-headed python should have gone out and the cave became quiet.

After about two quarters of an hour, Li Wuxiang still couldn't enter into a state of meditation.

It was too painful. This pain directly impacted his mind and consciousness, making him feel extremely bad. He had no choice but to open his eyes and slowly exhale like a living person.

Only then did I feel something in my stomach trembling.

The pain made him feel like his soul was trembling, so he didn't pay attention to it when he wanted to enter meditation. But now he realized that the trembling really came from his abdomen, so he reached his hand into the wound and touched the Xuanguang Mirror.

He hadn't used this thing for a long time since he lost contact with Zhao Qi. At this moment, the bronze mirror was emitting a faint fluorescent light and trembling constantly, as if it had life and was about to fly out of his hand.

Zhao Qi?!

This thought suddenly made him feel better. He immediately reached out his hand, touched the mirror, and disappeared into it.

The mirror was still gray, and there were many whispers of resentful ghosts in his ears. Li Wuxiang ignored them as usual, and used his mind to sense Zhao Qi and the Blood God - but found nothing.

It's not Zhao Qi, it's...

Cheng Shengfei? No, this mirror was originally Cheng Peixin's magic weapon——

As soon as this thought came to mind, the whispers around them suddenly faded, and only one voice became clear, which was Cheng Peixin's voice.

"...Did you hear me? Li Wuxiang, can you hear me? Please, save Fei'er——"

Li Wuxiang remained silent, and listened to her repeating it several times before speaking: "I heard it."

Cheng Shengfei's voice stopped for a moment, and when it sounded again it became even louder: "Great, you...you..."

She seemed to not know what to say.

Li Wuxiang asked, "What happened to Cheng Shengfei?"

"Look at me--" Cheng Peixin's voice said.

Look? How? As soon as this thought came to his mind, he really saw a vague shadow in the void. He frowned slightly and told himself to look carefully. The shadow suddenly became clear.

It was Cheng Peixin's appearance, but she looked very miserable. Her left arm was broken, and she was still wearing a bloodstained shirt, like a prisoner.

These days, Li Wuxiang had thought about what would happen to Cheng Peixin if Jian Zong was like this, but he didn't expect that she would end up in this situation. He didn't like this woman, but he didn't hate her either. He just felt that she was ignorant of the current situation and confused. But Cheng Shengfei?

"I... I did a stupid thing..." Cheng Peixin didn't look at him when she spoke, but turned her head to look in other directions from time to time, as if she was being watched and it was not very convenient. "I harmed Fei'er. She was right. I was so stupid, so stupid..."

Li Wuxiang couldn't help but sigh in his heart - when he first met the master of Feiyun Temple, he was so elegant and calm. But now that he has lost his cultivation, his spirit seems to be gone too.

"If it's inconvenient for you to talk, you should speak faster."

Cheng Peixin raised her hand and pressed her left shoulder, as if the wound was causing her great pain: "I... Li Wuxiang, you are a magnanimous person. If you have any grievances, just come to me. But Fei'er is from the Sword Sect, she is your junior sister... You can't be angry and not save her..."

She cried twice, but immediately covered her mouth to stop crying: "...The people of the True Form Sect are on Yulun Mountain. I heard about you before, and I knew you, so I thought... You can't blame me. I have no cultivation, and I wanted to rely on the Sword Sect as a backer, but now the Sword Sect is finished, I have to find a way out for myself... So I went to see the True Form Sect's garrison, named Miao Yi, and said I could help him lead you to Yulun Mountain..."

"You're not looking for a good way out." Li Wuxiang sneered, "You might end up filling a coffin. Then what?"

"I... I... They all said you were a Nascent Soul, so I told them you probably weren't... I said you were a monster..." Cheng Peixin took a deep breath, her voice trembling with pain, "Fei'er wanted to ask me for help a few days ago and sent me a message. I also wanted to find a way out for her... So I said I could ask Fei'er to lead you to Yulun Mountain..."

"After that... after that I went to see her and said I could help them find you, but, but she didn't believe me!" Cheng Peixin cried a few more times, "I went back and told Miao Yi about this, saying I could slowly persuade her, and if that didn't work I would use a trick of self-torture... But Miao Yi said... said... said that since he wanted to lead you to Yulun Mountain, and since Fei'er didn't agree, he might as well make the fake play real..."

She pounded her left shoulder a few times, burst into tears, and then immediately covered her shoulder with her hands: "When I went to see Fei'er, they sent people to follow me, and they found them and arrested them all! Was I right about her? I am so stupid!"

Cheng Peixin seemed to want to cry again, but she didn't seem to dare to make a sound, so she pounded the wound and hit her head against something, and blood immediately flowed all over her face.

Li Wuxiang looked at her indifferently for a while: "She, who are the other swordsmen?"

"There are people named Qi Sheng, Yu Fenghu, Zeng Jianqiu, and another one named...what's his name...he's dead..."

Li Wuxiang's heart sank.

He thought for a moment: "Are they still alive?"

"Alive!"

"Then I find it strange. If I am a member of the True Form Cult, since they want to lure me here, I don't know what the difference is between the living and the dead. Why do they let them live?"

"It's because of Zhou Ruixin——"

Zhou Ruixin. Li Wuxiang thought about it - Tianxin Sect Master. "Zhou Ruixin knew about this... He was afraid of offending both sides. He was afraid that you were really a Yuanying, and that you really killed all the people of the Zhenxing Sect on Yulun Mountain. So when he was arresting people, he captured those swordsmen, saying that it was safest to keep watch in the sect's formation -"

Then this Tianxin Sect Master is much smarter than Cheng Peixin.

"How did you get into this state again?"

Cheng Peixin was stunned, as if she had lost her soul because of these words: "I... am... a self-torture trick..."

"Didn't you say no more?"

Cheng Peixin was silent for a moment: "That's the self-torture trick I'm using on you now. Fei'er didn't send you a message, so Miao Yi... cut off my arm and told me to tell you that they went to capture Fei'er and I went to save her, but ended up cutting my arm off... Then he tricked you into coming to Yulun Mountain, so that you would believe it even more..."

"Yes." Li Wuxiang nodded, "So what do you want me to do now?"

"Those swordsmen are in the formation at the back mountain, and Fei'er is with Miao Yi! Go and kill Miao Yi, and Zhou Ruixin will definitely return your fellow disciples to you—"

Li Wuxiang interrupted her: "Where are you now? Are you imprisoned?"

"Yes, yes!" After hearing his words, Cheng Peixin seemed to see hope, "I'm being held here by Miao Yi, and they said they'd find a way to find you. It sounds like they can definitely find you, and then they'll let me come find you too!"

Li Wuxiang thought about it and sneered: "So now you don't know how the True Form Sect is going to deal with me, and you are also imprisoned, so you can't help at all. Then why should I help you, Master Cheng?"

Cheng Peixin was stunned: "You... you are a swordsman! They are all your fellow disciples! Even if you don't help me, you should help Fei'er, help your fellow disciples--"

"Yes. As swordsmen, we will help each other. But there is a problem, which is the issue of saving the big and the small." Li Wuxiang sighed, "Cheng Shengfei, I am the one who brought her into the sect, so I should save her. But first, it is her own fault now. It is her bad luck to have a mother like you. Second, what I am doing now is to distract the attention of the six mysterious sects for most of our sect. If I fall into a trap or die in order to save a few of them, what will happen to the other fellow disciples?"

"So, I can't save them. You'd better pray every day that the swordsmen trapped because of you are safe. If anything happens, you'd better commit suicide immediately. Otherwise, when the storm is over and the Sword Sect has recovered, their deaths will all be blamed on you. You have heard of You Jiuyuan, right? Let me tell you, there are many ways to make people live a life worse than death."

Cheng Peixin opened her mouth and was about to speak again, but Li Wuxiang had already flashed out of the mirror.

He closed his eyes and sat quietly, no longer paying attention to the vibration of the Xuanguang mirror. When the mirror finally became silent, he slowly opened his eyes and squeezed out a word from between his teeth -

"Bitch."

This is not good, very bad!
There are many people in this world who deserve to be scolded, but he never used to scold people. It's not because he is very magnanimous, but because such words come out of his mouth and actually fuel the anger in his heart while venting.

Once you get angry, reason will take over and you may do stupid things.

That is why he tried his best to avoid having close relationships with others in his previous life, because only in this way could he protect himself as much as possible.

However, in this life, he made too many "mistakes" - he had too many ties with others!

For example, right now, he believed most of what Cheng Peixin said - for her own way out and because he felt that "this was for Fei'er's own good", he told the people of the Zhenxing Sect about his own affairs and proudly offered them a plan.

He also believed that the swordsmen she mentioned were captured, and he even believed that her arm was really chopped off by the people from the True Form Cult!
But could everything that just happened be a "torture tactic" or an open conspiracy?
Li Wuxiang looked at the wound on his chest and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

So I was going to do something stupid - I had this doubt in my mind, but I couldn't help going!
He placed the Xuanguang mirror in front of him, released the flying sword, and destroyed it with a ding. Cheng Peixin could use this thing to send a message to him, so who knows what other means she might have. This is a disaster.

Then he looked at the debris on the ground and began to wonder what to do.

First, we need to capture a few Tianxin Sect members alive and ask them about the formation in the back mountain that Cheng Peixin mentioned. We need to act quickly but not hastily. We need to act immediately after capturing the people so as not to alert the enemy.

We also need to capture someone from the Zhenxing Sect near Yulun Mountain and find out what kind of combat power the people in the Tianxin Sect have. This needs to be done quickly.

However, he was not at the true Nascent Soul stage. He could still give it a try when his body was fine. But if there were people at the Spirit Refining stage on the other side who were setting up the formation together, he would have no chance of winning in his current state.

It's not like I haven't been able to accomplish things when I encountered this kind of situation in my previous life, but the prerequisite was that there had to be sufficient intelligence and even someone to help from the inside and outside.

And now...

Lou He. What is that guy doing now? Where?
He was a little anxious, and the wound on his chest seemed to hurt more. Li Wuxiang couldn't help holding the flying sword in his hand, wanting to cut a few pieces of stubborn stone at the entrance of the cave to relieve his emotions. But at this moment, he heard a rustling sound at the entrance of the cave. He turned around and saw the head of the chicken-headed python that had drilled out of the cave before.

This thing only poked its head in, and the light pink line on the top of its head had turned bright red and became increasingly swollen, as if a crown was about to pop out. Perhaps the pill it had taken before had greatly benefited it.

At this moment, the python's mouth was wide open, as if it wanted to swallow Li Wuxiang.

In front of him was Cheng Peixin who didn't know what was good for her, and behind him was this beast who was ungrateful. Li Wuxiang immediately felt angry and held up his flying sword, about to pierce the head, but suddenly he found that its mouth seemed to be open because it was holding something.

He immediately hid the sword light and looked carefully again -

It looked like a bunch of leaves and branches with thumb-sized red fruits on them. The python seemed to be afraid that it would damage the fruit, so it was holding it gently with its mouth wide open.

Li Wuxiang took another look and recognized that the red fruit was actually a medicine called Bixuedan, which could be used to replenish qi and blood... Did the monster eat the pill he gave it before, so it brought this thing to repay its gratitude?

He let out a breath in his heart and felt the bad air in his chest dissipate.

This reminded him of a story he had read before - a spiritual animal received a favor from someone, and brought back treasures from heaven and earth. For ordinary people, the Green Blood Pill is indeed a treasure from heaven and earth, which can greatly replenish qi and blood and save the dying. But for someone like him who has the Golden Elixir cultivation, let alone five or six fruits on this branch, even if he picked all the fruits from the whole tree, they would only be a tonic with some benefits. If he wants to heal the wound on his chest, he may need a whole garden.

He sighed and nodded to the python: "It seems that you really understand what people say. But you don't have to thank me. I didn't intend to take those medicines. If--"

Having said this, Li Wuxiang was suddenly stunned, then slowly reached out and took the bunch of branches and leaves out of its mouth.

He originally thought that this bunch of blood-red was wild. Spirits are sensitive to spiritual energy, so it is not surprising to find it.

But now, he saw three neat breaks on the branches that had long since healed - this thing had been carefully pruned and cared for!
