Chapter 259: Nightmare Returns
When Li Wuxiang felt the throbbing in his mind, he was meditating and practicing, protected by Mei Qiulu.

He was a thoughtful person, but there was one downside to being a thoughtful person, which was that they would think too much. Kong Xuan died, and everyone on Dajie Mountain thought it was Mei Qiulu who did it. That evening, when Kong Jingci delivered the black pearl, there was also grief and anger in his tone.

Mei Qiulu was not the type of person who bothered to explain the matter to her. Li Wuxiang swore and swore for a long time before she believed that it was not Mei Qiulu who did it, and she left sadly.

After she left, Li Wuxiang and Mei Qiulu talked for a few words and both realized that it was the person in the dark who did it.

Li Wuxiang did not ask who it was. Because before this incident, the people of the Thirty-Six Sects might still be a little bold and ambitious, and still want to do something. But once this incident happened, everyone would feel that even if they had thought that the Sword Sect's Nascent Soul was extremely powerful before, they still underestimated it - the Sword Sect's Nascent Soul could kill the Suhua Sect's Yang God!

This style of behavior is exactly the same as the method used by the person who has always been supporting him, but this time it is used on Mei Qiulu.

Or was it because he realized from her words that she should already have an answer in her heart.

When they talked about this matter before, she had told him not to worry anymore and that she would handle it. He had always trusted this Senior Sister Mei, so he really didn't think about it any more. Until the night when Kong Xuan got into trouble, he still didn't ask any more questions, but he had made up his mind that after the Great Tribulation Mountain, he must ask about this matter clearly.

Therefore, during the past few days of practice, he felt that his heart was always like a small stone - this stone was very small, but it was stuck to the bottom of his feet. It would not hurt you, but it would make you aware of its existence all the time, and you would feel very uncomfortable.

Mei Qiulu noticed that he was restless, so she protected him every day while he was practicing, and taught him how to circulate his breath, how to use medicine, and how to chemically transform medicine.

Li Wuxiang used to think that the most important things in cultivation were the materials, techniques, and aptitude. But after receiving all-round guidance from Mei Qiulu these days, he realized how crude his cultivation was before.

This kind of thing is like a person living outside - the main things he does every day are nothing more than eating and sleeping. He felt that his previous practice was like a person with very bad living habits, with no regular work and rest schedule, long and short sleep, and no particular attention to food and drink, just to fill his stomach. If he looked at the room he was in, it would definitely be dark, messy, and smelly.

But now that Mei Qiulu is in strict guidance every day, he feels like he is back at his parents' home - he still sleeps, but the bed is dry and clean, and his work and rest schedule is extremely regular; he still eats, but the three meals are on time and the nutrition is reasonable. And the environment is bright and clean, which makes people feel happy physically and mentally.

If you spend five or six days like this, you will feel as if you have been transformed and your energy and blood have been restored.

His cultivation these days was also like this. Many of his minor flaws were corrected, and some of the unconventional methods he had figured out were also corrected by Mei Qiulu. So, just because of these small details, he felt that his cultivation speed began to advance by leaps and bounds. Combined with the elixirs and magical materials sent by various sects a few days ago, in just a few days, he had actually cultivated to the point of -

The cultivation period.

Nurturing the elixir is the second level of the Sword Sect’s Golden Elixir Realm. One has to cultivate to the peak of the Danhua Stage before one can become an infant.

He practiced the Great Tribulation Sword Sutra, and it took him only a few months to complete the elixir. Even with Mei Qiulu's guidance and a large number of medicinal materials, this speed was enough to be called astonishing.

But this progress was not fast enough in the eyes of both of them. Li Wuxiang felt that it was not fast enough because he knew that he had tried his best. However, tomorrow was the Great Tribulation Alliance Meeting, and the candidate for the Seal Master was already tacitly chosen - it was him.

But now he was only at the second level of Jindan. If he really became the master of the sect, he would have to invite Taiyi's true spirit to descend. Although his skin refined by Guangchanzi became more and more stable as his realm progressed, he was only a Jindan after all. He really didn't know whether the formation originally set up by the Thirty-Six Sects for Yuanying could trap the foreign evil.

Mei Qiulu also felt that he was not fast enough, but she didn't think he was not serious, nor did she think he was unqualified. She also didn't seem to be worried about asking Taiyi - she said that if it didn't work out by then, she could do it herself.

The reason she gave made Li Wuxiang feel that he could understand it, but at the same time, he couldn't understand it.

"I've seen your fortune." When Li Wuxiang entered the Nurturing Pill Stage last night, she frowned and said, "Your fate is extremely precious. In my opinion, it is precious beyond words. As for your luck, I can't see it clearly either - it means it is unfathomable and unknowable. You are not the only one in the world with this kind of fate and luck. There are hundreds or even thousands of people who are still alive."

"But among these people, there are not many who have the opportunity to practice, so in the world of cultivation, your kind is extremely rare. Besides myself, I have only seen five or six people who have done so." She frowned again when she said this, "When I became an infant, I did not progress step by step, so I also had chance. Almost everyone in the world who has a high level of cultivation has chance. You said a few days ago that you wanted to practice the Great Tribulation Sword Sutra, and I was worried, so I calculated it for you. Your fate cannot be fully calculated, but I can see that the opportunity is on this mountain."

"It's just that tomorrow is the alliance meeting. I thought your chance would come during these two days of practice, but you are still like this today... Li Wuxiang, think about it yourself, is there anything else that can help you?"

It was these words she said - he could understand the logic behind them, such as fate and chance, but what he couldn't understand was that she actually believed in them without a doubt!

In the previous life, most people who did his business, perhaps because they felt guilty, believed in fate in their hearts, no matter what they said. However, like most people in the previous life, they also thought that fate was just a trend. If someone is said to make a fortune, but he sits at home all day, even if he has a treasure house in his destiny, it will not open if he does not open it himself.

But Mei Qiulu’s current attitude is that if something is destined to happen, then it will happen no matter what?
Li Wuxiang couldn't help but smile and said, "Sister, maybe your calculation is a little inaccurate. Or, you know that I had an external evil in my body before? That thing changed my fate? Or, a person's destiny also depends on his own struggle?"

Mei Qiulu also smiled and said, "There are such things as my own destiny, but it is not the case with you now. If you think of your destiny as a long river, you are now a grain of sand in the river. You are not an ordinary gravel, but an extremely hard diamond. However, no matter how hard you are, you still have to go with the flow. Not to mention you, even I have no control over my own destiny in this world."

“Unless you have given birth to the Yang Spirit and are no longer a human of this world, you can break free from this. So I think if you can succeed, you should. If you can’t succeed today, then you can succeed tomorrow—maybe you can achieve enlightenment at the alliance meeting tomorrow.”

Li Wuxiang felt that her attitude was a bit absurd, and he felt that he had once again realized the difference between himself and the people in this world. So he asked, "Senior sister, what about Jinchuan and Mou Zhenyuan? Didn't they calculate that they would die?"

So Mei Qiulu said, "Mou Jinchuan is a Yuanying. It is very difficult to see the realm of Yuanying clearly, but there are some people with advanced skills who know for sure what will happen to them and whether they can produce Yangshen. Most of those who know they can't do it but still try will suffer disaster, so there are not many Yangshen in the world. Some can't succeed because they dare not succeed."

"As for those who have achieved Yang God, people like Mou Zhenyuan can also be considered to be no longer in the Three Realms and Five Elements. But because of this, they cannot see clearly. For example, Senior Brother Jiang cannot even see his own destiny. This is actually because he no longer has it - perhaps True Immortals and Golden Immortals can still see it, but Yang Gods cannot."

Because of this idea, after saying these words, Mei Qiulu asked him to continue practicing, saying that perhaps there would be some opportunity in the evening.

This opportunity did not come in the evening, but in the morning, when Li Wuxiang was sitting cross-legged in meditation, it seemed to come - at least that's what he thought. There was a throbbing in his mind, as if there was a thread somewhere unknown that was pulling him all the time. But because it had been pulling for so long, he had already gotten used to it and could no longer notice it.

But at that moment of throbbing, the thread seemed to disappear, and he suddenly became alert and came out of his meditation because of the throbbing.

When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was a misty reddish fog rising from the room. Someone was probably slaughtering something in the room or in the yard outside, causing blood and feces to flow everywhere, and the smell was extremely unpleasant. In the distance, it seemed as if many people were being tortured, and they were screaming in unison.

The next moment he realized that these were not the colors, smells, and sounds of the real world, but those of the sacred mountain!

But he was just meditating, his mind was calm, how could he be aware of the things in the sacred mountain? He immediately immersed himself in it -

What you see is a surging sea of ​​blood!
His reaction was faster than Lou He's. He immediately stepped back when he saw the scene, and everything around him returned to normal in an instant.

What happened in Lingshan?

Mei Qiulu was still sitting cross-legged beside him with her eyes closed, so Li Wuxiang immediately closed his eyes and called Zhao Qi in his mind. After two calls, Zhao Qi's voice seemed a little unusual, just a little: "Mei Qiulu is beside you, why are you calling me? She's scary!"

"What happened in Lingshan?"

"Ah, you know this too? Haha, my master taught me another trick, now I——"

"That's not it. There's a huge wave of blood in Lingshan. What's going on over there?"

Zhao Qi was silent for a moment before he said, "No? What blood wave?"

Li Wuxiang immediately told himself to immerse himself a little deeper - it was still a wave of blood! As soon as he appeared, he was immediately blasted out, his Qi became chaotic, and his skin twitched slightly - if he was still a human, he would have coughed up a mouthful of blood!

This is not an illusion, but Zhao Qi can't see it? Can't the Ninth Master see it either?
At this time, Mei Qiulu opened her eyes and looked at him: "What's wrong with you?"

When she asked this question, her expression was normal, but her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she felt that Li Wuxiang had suddenly lost his breath and woke up in shock, and as if she also felt that with his current level of cultivation, such a mistake should not have happened.

Li Wuxiang was stunned for a moment before asking, "Senior Sister, can you go over to Lingshan and take a look?"

Mei Qiulu was puzzled for a moment, looked at him, and then said, "I saw it. What's wrong?"

Judging from her tone, she didn't notice anything!
…She said that she should have a chance, the scene she just saw? But what kind of chance was that?
Li Wuxiang was silent for a moment before he said, "I was distracted by something over there just now."

Mei Qiulu's expression immediately became serious: "What did you see over there? When? Have you seen it before?"

"It's what I told you before--" As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Li Wuxiang suddenly realized that something was wrong!
What have you seen?
Of course I have!
It was me who told her about the external evil in Youjiuyuan, and that’s why she asked me to find Jiang Jie!

Why is she asking this now!?

"It was when I was going back to Youjiuyuan with you. On the way, it seemed like something in Lingshan... looked at me." Thoughts raced in Li Wuxiang's mind... This happened again, again!
Before, no one remembered Li Ke who took me to the underworld. It was Li Ke who was possessed by the evil spirit and took me to find Wansui, but I was almost possessed by the evil spirit.

But now, Senior Sister Mei doesn't remember telling her about the external evil! ? What's going on! ?

Jiang Jie died in front of him. At that time, he thought that he had killed Jiang Jie. Later, he thought that an external evil had killed Jiang Jie. But now he is increasingly uncertain whether Jiang Jie is dead or not, and whether he was murdered.

Therefore, he now has to carefully consider every word he says to Mei Qiulu... He doesn't want to see Senior Sister Mei end up like Jiang Jie did!
"At the time, I thought it was because I went in and out of Lingshan too often, so I was targeted by... some external evil..." He looked at Mei Qiulu and said slowly, "But it never happened again. It was the same thing just now, and I felt dazed for a moment."

Mei Qiulu's brows relaxed and she smiled, "Oh, you scared me. Yes, that's why I told you not to go to Lingshan often. The higher your cultivation level, the more attention you will get when you go there. Nothing will bother you when you reach Yangshen, but before Yangshen, the deeper your cultivation, the more dangerous it is. It's not a problem, you haven't been practicing for long, and it's too fast - those with bad character may encounter this kind of thing when they are refining qi, and once they are not careful, they will go astray."

He thought again: "What does that thing look like? Did you see it? Do you know what it said or did to you?"

She really doesn't remember.

Li Wuxiang didn't want to mention this matter anymore. He didn't know which of his words would violate the taboo!

He immediately laughed: "If Sect Leader Jiang goes to Lingshan like that, can he compete with the Great Emperor True Spirit of Xuan Sect?"

Mei Qiulu was stunned for a moment, her face slightly confused: "Master Jiang?"

"…Which Jiang Sect Leader?"
