Chapter 103 Visit to the Villa
The demon girl of Xuanyin Sect, go to Kunlun Cave to drink a cup of spiritual tea?
Li Yu's eyelids jumped. He wondered what tricks this evil woman was up to. She even wanted to go in and have a cup of tea. Wasn't she afraid that their relationship would be exposed?
Li Yu did not respond to the witch, but looked at the deacon disciple. The deacon disciple shrugged helplessly. He could see that the girl had a high status in the Xuanyin Sect. He did not dare to neglect her and immediately took out the spirit conch and contacted the sect.
After a moment, he put down the conch, looked at the girl in black, and asked, "May I ask your name?"
The demon girl said, "Nangong Chan."
The deacon disciple picked up the conch and said, "Master, she said her name is Nangong Chan."
Facing the instructions in the conch, a trace of surprise appeared on his face, and he said respectfully: "Yes, yes, I understand..."
After putting away the conch, he glanced at the girl in black, then looked at Li Yu and said, "Brother Li, the head master has ordered you to take this girl to Yuxu Palace."
This result was not unexpected by Li Yu.
After the witch revealed her identity, Kunlun had no way to keep her out. Kunlun and the Xuanyin Sect, one was a righteous sect and the other was an evil sect. Although they had different positions and had frictions in many secret caves and realms, the Saint of the Xuanyin Sect came to Kunlun but didn't even enter the Kunlun Mountain Gate. When people found out, it was not the Xuanyin Sect that made fun of them, but Kunlun.
There is a set of tacit etiquette between major sects.
This was a great disrespect to Kunlun.
If an important figure from Kunlun came to Xuanyin Sect, he would receive the same courtesy.
Li Yu brought the demon girl into Kunlun Cave Heaven. On the way to Yuxu Palace, he used his soul to transmit his voice: "Girl, what are you doing..."
Nangong Chan glanced at him and said, "I've never been to Kunlun. I want to come in and take a look. Is that not okay?"
The actions of the demon woman were hard to figure out, so Li Yu had no choice but to remind her: "Be careful in front of the headmaster at that moment, and don't use the hidden energy technique and the visible energy technique at random..."
The demon girl responded impatiently: "I know, I know. Do you think I'm stupid..."
Li Yu was not actually worried about this. Those two little spells were not his original creation. Even if the witch knew them, it would not mean anything. Generally, no one would suspect that he taught her.
What he was worried about was that she and Senior Sister Qin would use the Qi-gazing technique to look around, and then wouldn't he be exposed?
Nangong Chan stopped chatting with Li Yu via voice transmission. She looked at the magnificent Kunlun Cave Heaven, breathed the air full of spiritual energy, and said with emotion: "You are still the right way. This top-level cave paradise has been occupied by you. Sooner or later, we will take it all back..."
There was a deacon disciple next to him, and Li Yu did not respond to the bold remarks of the witch.
The two of them soon arrived at Yuxu Peak. The disciple guarding the peak must have known the news long ago, so he took them directly to Yuxu Palace without informing anyone.
Li Yu walked into the hall and bowed to a figure standing there.
Ever since the two of them entered the hall, Wang Daoxuan's eyes have never left Nangong Chan.
Nangong Chan glanced at him, bowed symbolically, and said, "Greetings, Master Kunlun."
Wang Daoxuan looked at him, a trace of reminiscence appeared on his face, and said: "In fact, you should call me Grandmaster."
Li Yu was stunned when he heard this.
what happened?
Why did the evil woman call the headmaster "Master"?
Nangong Chan disagreed and said, "He was expelled from Kunlun by you a hundred years ago. I have nothing to do with you Kunlun."
Wang Daoxuan asked: "Then why did you come to Kunlun this time..."
The demon girl glanced at Li Yu and said, "Do you think I want to come? Your Kunlun disciples saved our Xuanyin disciples. I am here to express my gratitude on behalf of the sect and take a look at the place where he practiced."
Li Yu coughed lightly and said, "Miss Nangong, you should speak more respectfully in front of the headmaster..."
Wang Daoxuan waved his wide Taoist robe and said, "It's okay. Since she wants to see Kunlun, Li Yu, you can represent Kunlun and take her around. If she has any requests, try to meet them."
Li Yu was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "Master, this won't do. She is a demon girl from the Demon Sect. If other disciples see me and her together, what will they think? Have you forgotten the rumors from a while ago..."
Wang Daoxuan put his hands behind his back and said, "Don't worry, you are following my orders, no one will gossip. The Xuanyin Sect Saint is of noble status, and as a representative of Kunlun, you should not neglect her."
Since the headmaster had said so, Li Yu could only reluctantly say, "Disciple obeys."
The two left Yuxu Palace. Wang Daoxuan looked at their backs and couldn't help but say, "Chan'er and Li Yu look quite a good match."
Beside him, a Jindan-stage elder said, "Master, the Xuanyin Sect's Saintess is of high status. If we let Li Yu, a Qi-refining-stage disciple, accompany her, doesn't it mean that Kunlun doesn't value her enough?"
Put yourself in his shoes. If an important figure from Kunlun went to Xuanyin Sect and Xuanyin Sect only sent a Qi Refining disciple, he would also feel offended.
Wang Daoxuan said, "I have my own considerations for doing this. Although Li Yu is a Qi Refining disciple, her fame has spread throughout the righteous and evil sects. She is the most famous disciple of Kunlun. It is not considered as neglect. They are of similar age and have more topics to talk about. Moreover, Li Yu is very good at dealing with people, so it is the most suitable person to give this task to him."
Li Yu is very good at dealing with people, and this Jindan-stage elder acknowledges this.
Apart from anything else, Li Yu’s connections are unmatched by most of Kunlun’s Jindan-stage elders.
He bowed to Wang Daoxuan and said, "Master, you are very thoughtful."
At this time, outside Yuxu Peak, Li Yu was pondering what the head master had just said, and he already had a guess in his mind.
The head master just said that Nangong Chan should call him Grandmaster, which means that Nangong Chan’s master is his disciple.
As far as Li Yu knows, Nangong Chan's master is the head of the Xuanyin Sect, a powerful late Nascent Soul cultivator. It is impossible for him to be the head master's disciple, but there is another possibility for this relationship.
Her father or mother was a disciple of the head master.
The head master currently has only one disciple, and Senior Sister Qin and Nangong Chan are of similar age, so it is naturally impossible that he is talking about her. Thinking of some gossip that Wu Tong had told him, a person's name quickly emerged in Li Yu's mind.
Chen Qingshan.
He used to be the third on the Trial List, but now he is the fourth. He was originally the direct disciple of the headmaster. A hundred years ago, he was expelled from Kunlun because he eloped with a demon girl from the Demon Sect. The demon girl he eloped with was from the Xuanyin Sect...
In this way, the identity of the witch is obvious.
No wonder she cares so much about Kunlun's affairs. She wants to be the first to know about anything that happens in Kunlun. It turns out that she and Kunlun have such a connection.
Although the two of them were as familiar as could be, Li Yu still did not show it. He dutifully acted as a tour guide and took her to visit the Kunlun Peaks.
The Kunlun disciples soon discovered that Li Yu appeared in various peaks of Kunlun in a very high-profile manner with a beautiful woman.
"Hey, who is this junior sister? Why have I never seen her before?"
"Where did Junior Brother Li hook up with such a beautiful Junior Sister?"
"No wonder he rejected so many women who wanted to be his Taoist partner. His standards are too high..."
In a short while, the scandal between Li Yu and the witch spread everywhere. However, some disciples who knew the inside story gave an explanation in time.
"Hush, don't talk nonsense. That's not our Kunlun disciple. She is the Saintess of the Xuanyin Sect, as famous as Senior Sister Qin. Haven't you seen her portrait?"
"Ah, Saintess of Xuanyin Sect, what are you doing in Kunlun?"
"I know this. Junior Brother Li saved some disciples of the Demonic Path in the Thousand Poison Cave last time. She came to express her gratitude. In the past few days, people from several major sects of the Demonic Path have come..."
"I heard that this Saintess of Xuanyin Sect has some relationship with our Kunlun."
"Tell me more, tell me more..."
…
Nangong Chan's arrival caused quite a stir in Kunlun Cave Heaven. As a person of the demonic path, she could move around so openly in Kunlun without any restraints. This was the first time for many new disciples to see her.
But considering her relationship with Kunlun, it’s not so strange.
His father is Senior Brother Chen, who was once the most valued disciple of the master sect. He even trained him to be the next master of Kunlun Sect. Naturally, he loves his daughter as well.
Kunlun Cave Heaven is not very big, and many peaks are off-limits to outsiders. Li Yu took the demon girl on a tour for almost an hour, and they had almost finished touring Kunlun Cave Heaven.
After leaving a certain mountain, Li Yu said, "We have seen almost all of Kunlun Cave Heaven. Where else do you want to go, Miss Nangong?"
Nangong Chan looked at him meaningfully and said, "Go to your house."
She wanted to see what kind of woman could be so infatuated with Li Yu that he would forget about practicing cultivation and indulge in tenderness all day long.
Li Yu was startled when he heard this, and then said: "There's nothing interesting in my house, I'll take you to other peaks..."
Nangong Chan said: "I'm tired and want to find a place to rest."
Li Yu thought to herself that a mortal woman wouldn't get tired after walking around the streets for a few hours. With her cultivation level at the Jindan stage, killing a Kunlun Jindan elder would be as easy as killing a dog. She couldn't even find a convincing excuse.
It is difficult to change what the witch has decided, so Li Yu did not waste any more words and had to take her to Ziyun Peak.
Inside Villa No. 69, one of the three Zhao sisters was swinging on the swing, one was playing with Ling'er, and one was trimming flowers and plants with Zhou Zixuan. Suddenly, they saw Li Yu walking in from outside with an extremely beautiful woman.
The three Zhao sisters were shocked when they saw Nangong Chan. Although they had never seen the famous Saint of Xuanyin Sect, they had seen her portrait.
She is as famous as Senior Sister Qin from Kunlun, and in terms of fame, she is even more famous than the Four Beauties and Twelve Beauties of Emei.
Zhou Zixuan didn't know Nangong Chan, so she asked Li Yu softly, "Who is this..."
Li Yu explained: "This is the Saintess of Xuanyin Sect. She came to Kunlun this time to give a thank you gift. The headmaster asked me to represent the sect and take her around Kunlun."
When Zhou Zixuan heard that the other party was a demon witch, she was a little surprised, but she still bowed slightly to her.
Nangong Chan took the opportunity to look times.
The first time she saw this woman, she understood that some things could not be blamed entirely on Li Yu.
This woman's appearance is extremely outstanding, and her figure is even more proud. Even if she has not practiced any charm skills, she is more alluring than the evil women who have practiced charm skills. There is temptation between her eyebrows and eyes. Few men can control themselves when living with such a woman day and night, unless he is not a man.
She actually blamed Li Yu wrongly.
Being immersed in the land of tenderness all day long can only mean that he is a normal man.
Her eyes shifted away from Zhou Zixuan and she began to look around.
It has to be said that the cultivation environment for disciples of the righteous path is much better than that of the evil path. The difference is simply like heaven and earth.
Not only can one practice cultivation in this blessed cave with abundant spiritual energy, but this courtyard is also luxurious, with pavilions, towers, fountains, gardens, and everything else. There is also a small orchard on the side with many fruit trees.
Nangong Chan picked a peach that still had water droplets on it, took a bite, and a sweet taste filled her mouth.
Zhou Zixuan thought to herself, a demonic witch is a demonic witch, she acts recklessly and enters other people's homes as if they were her own...
The demon girl only took two bites of the big peach that Li Yu had carefully cultivated, and then casually handed it to Li Yu. Zhou Zixuan frowned slightly. Even if she was the Saint of the Demonic Path, she couldn't treat others as followers...
Li Yuze patted the back of her hand and said in a voice transmission: "She is a demon girl. She grew up in the demon world and doesn't know any manners. She is a guest from afar. Just be patient. She will go back soon..."
After walking around the courtyard, the witch saw a little white tiger running around in the yard, and she picked it up and rubbed it for a while.
Ling'er has never been shy about strangers. He will hug any pretty girl.
The demon girl stayed in Li Yu's courtyard for only a quarter of an hour before she said, "Well, I've spent quite a while here. I'm going back now."
As the tour guide appointed by the master, Li Yu naturally had to take her to the sect gate.
A moment later, at the Kunlun Mountain Gate, Nangong Chan looked at Li Yu and suddenly said, "Do you want to join our Xuanyin Sect? There are too many geniuses in Kunlun, and we don't have many resources to use on you. If you join our Xuanyin Sect, I can let you form an elixir within fifty years. If you are lucky, you may even reach the Nascent Soul stage in this lifetime. At that time, I will let you take charge of the elixir department and let you manage all the spiritual medicines. I will also give you a few beautiful Taoist companions..."
Upon hearing this, the Kunlun disciples around couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, saying that Senior Brother Li was so outstanding that even the Holy Maiden of the Xuanyin Sect couldn't help but recruit him.
Moreover, the conditions she offered were also very generous: fifty years to form an elixir, the right to manage a large amount of spiritual medicines, and a beautiful demon witch. Wow..., who wouldn't be tempted by such conditions?
Li Yu knew that the witch was acting again.
In front of so many Kunlun disciples, it seemed like she was recruiting him, but others didn't know that Li Yu had already been hers inside and out, and this was just a fog she deliberately created.
Li Yu naturally insisted on sticking to his original intention and refused: "Thank you for your kindness, Miss, but I have no interest in joining the Demon Cult."
Nangong Chan looked regretful and said, "What a pity. My promise to you will always be valid. If you change your mind, you can come to Xuanyin Sect to find me."
Li Yu said: "I don't think there will be such an opportunity..."
Several Kunlun disciples couldn't help but marvel at Li Yu's concentration.
Not to mention the beautiful demon woman, Xuanyin Sect is one of the three giants of the demon path, and controls many secret caves and heavens, so there is no shortage of spiritual medicine resources. If Xuanyin Sect offers such conditions as hers, let alone ordinary Kunlun disciples, I am afraid that many third-grade alchemists will be tempted and leave the sect to join the demon path. It is not impossible...
But Junior Brother Li was not tempted by this huge temptation and did not hesitate at all.
This kind of person was actually rumored to be an undercover agent of the Demonic Path. It was really outrageous. It was outrageous to the extreme. Fortunately, the sect was very observant, otherwise, wouldn't it hurt other people's feelings?
…
The witch left, and before she left, she did not meet Senior Sister Qin, which made Li Yu feel a little relieved.
Of course, what makes Li Yu even more relieved is that the witch and Kunlun actually have such a connection.
So, when she arranged for him to come in, she probably didn't intend for him to do anything detrimental to Kunlun.
Li Yu could see that she actually had a special feeling for Kunlun.
Otherwise, she would not have suggested entering the Kunlun Cave to take a look.
Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Everything seemed to be moving in a good direction.
After returning to Kunlun Cave Heaven, Li Yu first went to Yuxu Peak to report.
Wang Daoxuan asked, "Did she also go to Ziyun Peak?"
Li Yu said helplessly: "I didn't want her to go, but she insisted on going. Didn't the headmaster say that if she has any requests, I will try my best to satisfy her. I don't know what she is going to do in my house."
Wang Daoxuan smiled and said, "She probably wants to recruit you."
Li Yu bowed and said, "The headmaster is really as good as a god. She wanted to invite me to join the Xuanyin Sect, give me a dual cultivation partner, and let me manage the spiritual herbs and medicines of the Xuanyin Sect, but I refused..."
Wang Daoxuan smiled and said, "This is something she can do."
Li Yu asked curiously, "Master, Miss Nangong, do you have any relationship with us Kunlun? Why does she call you Grandmaster?"
He knew the truth about this matter, but he had to pretend that he didn't know. It would be more reasonable to just ask casually.
When mentioning this, Wang Daoxuan fell into deep thought, and after a long while he said, "She took her mother's surname. Her father's name is Chen Qingshan. You should be familiar with this name."
Li Yu was surprised and asked, "Chen Qingshan from the Trial Ranking? I heard from some disciples that he eloped with a demonic witch a hundred years ago . Miss Nangong is actually his daughter..."
Wang Daoxuan did not want to go into detail about this matter, and said, "This is a long story. Anyway, it's good for you to know that she has such a connection with Kunlun. Don't ask about other things."
The head master didn't want to mention it, so Li Yu didn't ask any further questions.
After a while, he left Yuxu Peak and returned to Ziyun Peak.
The matter of the witch has come to an end for the time being. The most urgent issue he is facing now is the foundation-building pill.
While playing cards with some neighbors, Li Yu asked them how to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Old He felt a little sorry and said, "If Elder Zhao hadn't died, given how much he valued you, he would have refined a few foundation-building pills for you. It's a pity that he died in such an unclear way. This is probably fate..."
From them, Li Yu learned that there are three main ways to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill.
One way is through the sect. As long as you have enough qualifications, you will be eligible to buy Foundation Building Pills. Occasionally there will be some emergency tasks, and there will also be Foundation Building Pills as rewards, but the sect has limited Foundation Building Pills, and there are so many disciples who need Foundation Building Pills. Even if you have saved up enough spirit coins and have enough qualifications, you still have to wait in line.
The second way is through those third- and fourth-grade alchemists. When they are refining foundation-building pills for the sect, they will definitely have some leftovers. As long as you join a peak of the alchemy world and work for a third- or fourth-grade alchemist, you will have the opportunity to obtain the foundation-building pill.
The last type is to become a disciple of the Nascent Soul Patriarch. With the disappearance of the Poxu Patriarch and the absence of the Shenhua strongmen, the Nascent Soul Patriarch is the top force of a sect and naturally enjoys high welfare. Even if he does nothing every month, he can still get a large amount of elixirs, including Foundation Establishment Pills and Tuomai Pills.
However, an ordinary Nascent Soul master can only get two Foundation Establishment Pills for free from the sect every month. Several great elders in the late Nascent Soul stage can get five. Even for the head sect leader, there are no extra quotas.
Apart from these three methods, you can only practice diligently on your own. Those with better talent can build a foundation in a few years, while those with less talent can build a foundation in ten to twenty years. Most of Kunlun’s disciples have come this way.
Li Yu refused the recruitment of various alchemy peaks. Even if he joined, he would only have the possibility of obtaining the foundation-building pill, which was not much faster than going through the sect.
As for becoming a disciple of a Nascent Soul Master, Li Yu's talent is all in alchemy. Although his strength improves rapidly, it is all due to taking pills. No Nascent Soul Master will accept him as a disciple. They don't even have enough disciples of their own, let alone give him the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Li Yu is an alchemist. In fact, there is another way. That is to use the extra Tongmai Pills to exchange for Foundation Building Pills and Tuomai Pills after being promoted to the second-grade alchemist. The Tongmai Pills of the sect are exchanged for Foundation Building Pills and Tuomai Pills at a rate of thirty pills for one. This method is extremely uneconomical, and the alchemist will only make the exchange if he is crazy.
After analyzing several methods, the most reliable way is to obtain a quota from the sect.
wrong.
Li Yu found that he still forgot one thing, no, he forgot someone.
He returned to the room, activated the soul contract, and called out in his heart: "Girl, is the girl there?"
