Chapter 147 Oh, Man
Nangong Chan knew very well what her master was thinking.
It was obvious that she wanted Li Yu to stay in the Xuanyin Sect.
If the sect had one more third- or fourth-grade alchemist, the strength of the younger generation of disciples in the Xuanyin Sect would be greatly improved, and would be no worse than those major righteous sects.
Among all the ways of cultivating immortality, the way of alchemy has the most transcendent status, and the identity of the alchemist is also the most honorable.
Any sect would like to retain a talent like him.
But he is the future leader of the second largest sect in the righteous way, and his future is bright. How could he be willing to stay in the evil way?
Even Nangong Chan herself didn't have the confidence to let Li Yu stay. Even if she and Li Yu had a deeper relationship, who would believe it?
Who would believe that the acting head of Kunlun would be an undercover agent of the Xuanyin Sect?
In just a few years, his status in the world of immortal cultivation was no lower than hers.
She glanced at her master and asked, "Why do you want to keep him?"
The woman in palace dress smiled slightly and said, "Chan'er, have you ever thought about finding a Taoist partner for yourself in the future? Looking at the entire cultivation world, he is the only one who is worthy of you. Since you think he is not bad, why don't you take this opportunity to win him over? In this way, won't he stay in our Xuanyin Sect?"
Nangong Chan opened her mouth wide and asked in astonishment: "Me, and him?"
…
Xuanyin Sect.
In a certain hall.
It was late at night. Li Yu stood by the window and could see the starry sky through the window.
This is a big difference between Kunlun and Xuanyin Sect. Here, day and night are distinct, and cold and heat alternate. Li Yu can't remember how long it has been since he last saw such a starry sky.
Li Yu admired the night view for a while, and then there was a knock on the door.
He came to the door, opened it, and saw a Jindan elder of the Xuanyin Sect standing outside. Beside him stood four beautiful women.
The Jindan-stage elder clasped his fists to him and said, "The night is long, they are here to serve the young master."
Before Li Yu could say anything, the four women walked into the hall, and the old man in the Jindan stage tactfully closed the door.
"We'll help you undress..."
After the old man left, four female disciples of the Xuanyin Sect immediately came up to him.
Each of them had seductive eyes and soft voices. They helped Li Yu undress while taking off their own clothes.
Li Yu had seen the magic way of hospitality.
He thought that was all there was to the banquet, but he didn't expect there would be more programs in the evening, and four in total.
However, Li Yu is not a disciple of the Hehuan Sect who accepts everyone. So far, he has only practiced dual cultivation with Zhou Zixuan. If he is willing, the Kunlun disciples who want to be his Taoist partner will probably line up from Yuxuan Peak to the sect gate.
He was about to ask them to go back when he heard a creaking sound and the palace door was pushed open from the outside. Nangong Chan stood at the palace door and looked at Li Yu and asked, "Did I disturb you?"
"Saint..."
Seeing Nangong Chan, the four female disciples of Xuanyin Sect bowed to her and temporarily withdrew.
Nangong Chan glanced at Li Yu and said, "I really overestimate your self-control. It wasn't enough for you to indulge in women in Kunlun for three whole days, but you couldn't help it on the first day you came to Xuanyin Sect?"
"I was planning to let them leave..." Li Yu explained, and then seemed to realize something and asked, "How do you know that I have been obsessed with women for three days?"
Nangong Chan blushed, of course it was because they were in tune with each other, and the soul contract was based on her. No matter if Li Yu was in danger or was addicted to women, as long as his emotions fluctuated greatly, she would be able to sense it.
During those three days, he never came out of the land of gentleness.
Of course, she couldn't say this kind of thing openly. She just pulled the corner of her mouth and said, "Is there any need to say this? From what I know about you, I'm afraid you barely got out of bed during those three days..."
Li Yu thought that she guessed wrong. In those three days, he had been to many places besides the bed.
Without going too deep into this topic, Li Yu asked, "What's the matter with you coming here so late?"
Nangong Chan folded her arms and said, "Nothing much. I just came to see if you are used to living here. After all, this place is not like your Kunlun Cave Heaven. There is not such a strong spiritual energy..."
The spiritual energy here is indeed thin, but to Li Yu, it makes little difference whether the spiritual energy is thin or rich.
"I'm used to it." He looked at the demon girl and asked, "When do you start refining the elixir?"
Nangong Chan said: "Let's do it tomorrow. They are more anxious than you."
As she spoke, her eyes were on Li Yu.
Looking at this handsome face, her master's words just now resurfaced in her mind.
She once told Li Yu that with his talent and ability, he was worthy of Qin Keren.
If he is worthy of Qin Keren, then he is naturally worthy of Nangong Chan as well.
Although Li Yu's talent for cultivation is not as good as those who have double heavenly spiritual veins, his attainments in alchemy are enough to make up for that slight difference in talent.
In the world of immortal cultivation, besides Nangong Chan, there is also Qin Keren. There is only one Li Yu who has such high attainments in alchemy, and his position cannot be replaced by anyone.
Originally, Nangong Chan had never thought about becoming a Taoist partner with Li Yu.
But after her master said those words to her, she began to think in a certain direction unconsciously.
If she really wanted to find a Taoist partner, it seemed that Li Yu was the only one.
Several years ago, when she rescued Li Yu for the first time , she had never expected that the handsome little medicine boy would be the best candidate for her future Taoist partner.
She shook her head, clearing the thoughts from her mind.
The witch looked at him and shook her head in confusion, which made Li Yu feel surprised. He didn't know what she was thinking.
"It's getting late. I'm going back now. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning." She said, and when she reached the door, she paused, without looking back, and suddenly asked, "Li Yu, if I want you to stay in Xuanyin Sect, will you stay?"
The hall fell into silence.
Li Yu did not answer.
The answer to this question was destined not to be what she wanted to hear.
In the past, Li Yu had no bargaining power in front of the witch, whether because of his strength or status.
But the person standing in front of her now is no longer the worldly little medicine boy from back then, and she no longer has any constraints on Li Yu.
The reason why Li Yu came to Xuanyin Sect with the witch was not because she had something on him, but because she needed the resources of Xuanyin Sect. Of course, the witch had saved her life several times, and Li Yu was not the kind of person who would not repay a favor. In front of the witch, he could make concessions except on a few issues of principle.
Nangong Chan did not hear Li Yu's answer, nor did she continue to wait.
She left without looking back, her figure carried by the wind and disappeared into the night sky.
The four female disciples were waiting outside. When they saw the Saint Girl leave, they were about to come in and continue what they were doing. Li Yu waved his hand and said, "You can go back. We don't need you to serve here."
The four of them could only leave with regret. They had thought that something pleasant would happen with this legendary figure of righteousness tonight, but they were interrupted by the saint.
He didn't know what happened in the hall just now. After the saint came out, he no longer needed them.
At this time, in a dark hall on a peak of the Xuanyin Sect.
It was late at night and the hall was completely dark, with only the fluorescent stones on the wall emitting a faint light.
Deep in the hall, on the huge throne, Nangong Chan leaned there, arms around her knees, recalling the past.
"Don't worry, young lady. I will practice alchemy well and become a third-grade alchemist as soon as possible. By then, our Xuanyin Sect will have a third-grade alchemist. We can have as many foundation-building pills and meridian-opening pills as we want, and we won't have to worry about the faces of the righteous people anymore..."
This was the promise Li Yu had made to her when he was in the Qi Refining Stage.
In the blink of an eye, his five spiritual veins had all formed golden elixirs.
At that time, he was just an ordinary disciple of Kunlun, but now he is the acting headmaster.
Li Yu didn't answer her question just now.
But no answer is also an answer.
She finally realized one thing: the current Kunlun's acting leader was no longer the little subordinate who obeyed her orders.
She pulled the corners of her mouth and a self-deprecating smile appeared on her face.
Oh, man...
