Chapter 161 Nangong Chan & Qin Keren
Yuxu Peak.
When Li Yu came back this time, the head master was still in seclusion, but he met Senior Sister Qin who had already come out.
She was still as quiet as ever, with her face covered by a veil, sitting upright on a chair in the bedroom, with a guqin placed in front of her. The notes flowed through her fingertips like water, and the sound of the guqin was soothing, bringing peace of mind and concentration to the ears.
As she is proficient in all kinds of spells , she naturally also understands music.
This time, Li Yu did not feel any magical fluctuations from her.
No wonder she wanted to go into seclusion, the art of concealing qi meant the balance of the five elements' magical power. Although Li Yu couldn't see through it, it was obvious that this time when she came out of seclusion, all five of her golden elixirs had reached the second level. In terms of magical power alone, it had already exceeded the limit of a single spiritual vein golden elixir.
In other words, her strength has temporarily surpassed that of the witch.
Li Yu knew very well that the wood-attributed golden elixir of the demon woman had not yet reached the second transformation.
Senior Sister Qin and the demon girl, one is on the righteous path and the other is on the evil path, so they each have their own advantages.
Kunlun Cave is full of spiritual energy, and practicing here will help your cultivation level increase faster.
Although the spiritual energy in the magic path is thin, there are not so many taboos. As a saint, she will receive a share of demon pills every year.
Kunlun is a famous and upright sect, and they will not hunt monsters and take elixirs in a high-profile manner, at least not openly. But as far as Li Yu knows, there are many Nascent Soul ancestors in the sect who do this secretly. He has talked about this with Wu Tong before.
The demon girl came this time to exchange ideas with Senior Sister Qin.
But after seeing Senior Sister Qin, she remained silent.
Li Yu walked to Qin Keren and was about to say something, but Nangong Chan covered his mouth in time, gave him a look, and then said to Qin Keren lightly: "What song? You played it well..."
Qin Keren stood up slowly and asked, "You came here not only to listen to the music, right? Are you going outside or here?"
Given the tacit understanding between the two, it was inevitable that they would fight each other every time they met.
If it were in the past, Nangong Chan would have accepted the challenge without hesitation.
But today, she just glanced at Qin Keren and said, "Why do you always want to fight every time we meet? I'm not in the mood today, maybe next time."
After that, she said to Li Yu: "I'm tired, I'm going to go back and rest first..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she simply turned around and left without any reluctance.
Fortunately, Li Yu is good at managing her facial expressions. If she hadn't been able to hold back her laughter and lost face, she would have been sulking for at least two days.
Senior Sister Qin's Five Spiritual Veins Golden Elixir has been restored twice, which gives her just 10% more magic power than she does. For them, this 10% of magic power has already determined the outcome. If they really start fighting, the witch is bound to lose.
This was the first time Li Yu saw her being sincere.
Li Yu inadvertently glanced at Senior Sister Qin and saw a barely perceptible smile on her face. When she realized that Li Yu was looking at her, she immediately regained her composure.
It was obvious that she had done that on purpose.
He really didn't expect that today he not only saw the enchantress Cong Xin, but also saw the rare side of the fairy.
He smiled and said, "Congratulations, Senior Sister, on your breakthrough."
Qin Keren asked softly, "Have you been okay in the Demon Sect these past two months?"
Li Yu said: "Everything is fine."
Qin Keren didn't say anything else. Li Yu knew that she was a man of few words, so he said, "Sister, if you don't need to practice, why don't you go to Yuxuan Peak? It seems like you haven't been there yet."
Qin Keren wanted to refuse, she didn't like meeting strangers, but she seemed to have thought of something, she nodded slightly and said, "Okay."
Li Yu was a little surprised when he heard this.
He was actually just making a casual invitation out of routine, and subconsciously felt that Senior Sister Qin would not agree. Based on his understanding of her, she probably didn't like meeting strangers, and even at the Immortal Conference, she acted alone.
I didn't expect that this time, she agreed so readily.
After coming to his senses, he immediately said: "Then let's go..."
…
Yuxuan Peak.
Nangong Chan sat in the viewing pavilion, holding her chin with one hand, feeling very upset.
Qin Keren actually reached the second level of the Five Spirit Veins Golden Elixir before her.
Although she was only one step away from completing the Wood Spiritual Vein, her cultivation speed should not be slower than Qin Keren's. Could it be that she had been slacking off these days?
Nangong Chan thought carefully about what she had been doing in the past month.
In the first few days, she was angry with Li Yu and had no intention of practicing.
Later, after the two reconciled, they returned to Lingchan Peak. Every day, she followed Li Yu to practice martial arts, go fishing, and cook...
It seems that he didn't practice very hard.
When Li Yu was not refining the elixir, she played with Li Yu. When Li Yu was refining the elixir, she waited for him to finish and take her to play... During this time, Qin Keren had been practicing in seclusion in the Kunlun Cave Heaven, which was full of spiritual energy.
After thinking for a long time, she realized that Li Yucai was the biggest obstacle in her path of cultivation.
No wonder so many ancestors of the sect have no Taoist partners. Men really affect the speed of their cultivation.
But... Li Yu can’t be blamed.
Although her cultivation has not improved much, she is happy...
I should try harder to practice next month.
During this period of time, try to avoid Qin Keren as much as possible.
Nangong Chan had just made this decision when she saw Li Yu and Qin Keren flying over together and walking into the pavilion.
Nangong Chan stood up suddenly and said to Qin Keren, "Why are you here?"
Qin Keren glanced at her and said calmly, "Can't I come?"
Nangong Chan forgot that this is Kunlun, not Lingchan Peak, and she is the outsider. Qin Keren is Li Yu’s senior sister and can come and go as she pleases.
If her cultivation level surpassed Qin Keren's, she would be willing to appear in front of Qin Keren at any time.
But reality is the opposite of dreams. When she sees Qin Keren, she feels uncomfortable.
And she always felt that Qin Keren was deliberately appearing in front of her.
Just to show off.
But on second thought, she felt that she was overthinking.
Although she and Qin Keren are rivals, she has to admit that this woman is not that kind of person.
The viewing pavilion of Yuxuan Peak is located at the highest point of the entire mountain. Standing in the pavilion, one can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the entire Yuxuan Peak. Li Yu brewed spiritual tea for them and personally picked some carefully cultivated fruits. After cutting them, he arranged them into a fruit plate.
The demon girl and Senior Sister Qin sat opposite each other on either side of the stone table, and Li Yu sat on one side of them, separating the two.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was quite harmonious, Li Yu also felt relieved to think about some things.
The cooperation with Xuanyin Sect is undoubtedly the biggest business he has done since coming to this world.
But the evil path is not just about the Xuanyin Sect.
The strength of the Soul Refining Sect and the Puppet Sect is not much inferior to that of the Xuanyin Sect. They also lack high-level alchemists and have accumulated a lot of resources over the years. Although the Hehuan Sect, the Five Poison Sect, the Demon Flame Sect, etc. are not as good as these three giants, their wealth should not be underestimated.
If Li Yu offered to refine pills for them and gave a suitable price, these demonic sects would definitely agree.
But unlike the Xuanyin Sect, many of these evil sects are notorious. Cooperating with them may very likely be like raising a tiger to harm oneself. If they become stronger and turn against the righteous path, Li Yu will also become the target of public criticism.
Faced with so many resources, it is impossible not to be tempted.
But at present, he still cannot risk the disapproval of the righteous path.
…
In the viewing pavilion, Nangong Chan ate a grape. Although Qin Keren was sitting opposite her, she chose to ignore her. This way she would feel better.
She didn't eat these things much before, but after spending a long time with Li Yu, she began to enjoy these food desires more and more. After shifting her attention to the food, Qin Keren was forgotten by her.
After eating a few herself, she peeled a grape and put it to Li Yu's mouth.
Li Yu was thinking about something and opened his mouth subconsciously.
He had gotten used to the demon girl's occasional feeding over the past month, because it was too much trouble to remind her every time what was cooked and ready to eat, so Li Yu would just give it to her. When Li Yu was busy refining pills, she would also peel a banana or a grape for him...
The two of them have become accustomed to this.
But Qin Keren, who was sitting opposite Nangong Chan, was slightly stunned when she saw this scene.
Their actions just now were so natural that she even felt like they were a pair of Taoist companions.
This made her wonder what happened when they were in the Xuanyin Sect?
Could it be that Li Yu really listened to his master and was pursuing that evil woman, and had already succeeded her?
Nangong Chan fed Li Yu a grape out of habit. When she withdrew her hand, she seemed to realize something and her movements suddenly stopped.
But her expression did not change. She took another plump grape, peeled it, and handed it to Qin Keren naturally, saying, "Hey, this grape is very sweet. You can try it too."
Qin Keren looked at her with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
What happened to this witch today?
It seems that I am not that familiar with her yet...
However, even if she didn't understand the ways of the world, she knew how to respond to other people's kindness, especially the extremely rare kindness from this witch.
But she couldn't be as casual as Li Yu. She didn't let Nangong Chan feed her. Qin Keren reached out and took the grape from her hand, then said, "Thank you."
She wondered in her heart what the other party's purpose was.
Could it be that she was worried that if I forced myself to compete with her, I would lose, so she was deliberately trying to be friendly?
Feeding Li Yu grapes was just to make the next action seem more natural, otherwise, the implication of begging for mercy would be too obvious.
She lifted a corner of her veil from the bottom and gently put the grape into her mouth.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the grapes peeled by this witch seem to taste better than those peeled by herself.
Li Yu also reacted suddenly at this moment. He glanced at Senior Sister Qin and found that she didn't seem to doubt anything and even ate the grapes of the witch for the first time.
He looked at the witch.
Seeing that she also had a calm expression, it had to be said that every time she encountered such a critical moment, she could deal with it calmly and without any trace of acting. Even he had to admit that she was better.
A white shadow flew over from a distance and threw itself into Li Yu's arms.
Looking at Ling'er in his arms, whose eyes were becoming more and more lively, Li Yu felt a little melancholy.
In the past two months, the cultivation of the people around him has greatly improved, except Ling'er, who is still standing still.
In order to help it transform, Li Yu went to the Beast Taming Sect to ask them how the spirit beasts could transform, but he did not get the answer he wanted.
It is against the law for monsters to transform. Although the Beast Taming Sect is proficient in taming monsters, they cannot make monsters transform perfectly. All monsters are half human and half beast. Although it affects the appearance, their strength is no different from that of fully transformed monsters.
For the Beast Taming Sect, it doesn't matter whether their transformations look good or not, as long as their strength is not compromised.
According to them, the complete method of monster transformation is only in the hands of the royal family of the Demon Court. Even in the Southern Xinjiang Demon Court, most monsters are half human and half beast.
In order to obtain the complete method of transformation, one must go deep into the demon tribe in southern Xinjiang.
For cultivators, that place is undoubtedly a den of dragons and tigers.
The disputes between good and evil are just about ideologies, but the human race and the demon race have a deep-seated feud, mainly because human cultivators often hunt demons in southern Xinjiang. Those above the Jindan stage can directly improve their cultivation, while those below the Jindan stage can use their fur and blood as materials for refining pills and writing talismans.
This leads to the demon race being extremely hostile to human cultivators. Once they meet, they will fight to the death.
The demon race will be surrounded and killed in the human race's territory, and human practitioners who go deep into the demon court will also become prey.
Although the strength of the entire demon race is far inferior to that of the human race, it is still stronger than any other sect except the Tiandao Sect. Among them are many great demons in the Jindan and Yuanying stages, and there are even some at the Huashen and Poxu levels.
With Li Yu's current strength, trying to go deep into southern Xinjiang to steal the top secrets of the Demon Court royal family is no different from committing suicide.
At that time, if there is really no other way, we can only let her transform first.
If it just had an extra pair of ears and a tail, that wouldn't be unacceptable.
Ling'er's return also means that Jiang Li and Zhou Zixuan have returned. While Master Xuanzhen is in seclusion, they are also responsible for various matters at Yuzhu Peak.
Li Yu only came back once a month. Jiang Li and Zhou Zixuan were discussing where to go for fun, but they had no idea after thinking for a long time. They were already very familiar with Kunlun Cave Heaven, and they had also been to several nearby cities many times, so there was no novelty to them anymore.
Seeing that they had no idea, Li Yu thought for a moment and said, "Why don't I take you to Emei Mountain to look for Senior Sister Bai and Junior Sister Zhao."
Li Yu had thought that if they were all in Kunlun this time, he would let them cultivate all five spiritual veins. During the Jindan stage, the advantage of the five spiritual veins is still very great , but they did not come this time.
Zhou Zixuan and Jiang Li had never been to Emei, so this time was a good opportunity to take them there to have a look.
Jiang Li's beautiful eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said, "Okay, Junior Sister Xin'er has invited us many times..."
Zhou Zixuan said: "I will go and call Senior Sister Qingxin, and we will all go together."
Li Yu looked at Nangong Chan and asked, "Will the Saint go?"
The witch didn't let him call her Miss Nangong, so in front of them, he had to call her the Saint.
Nangong Chan nodded. She came back with Li Yu, so naturally she would go wherever Li Yu went.
It just so happens that if I go to Emei, I won’t have to see Qin Keren.
But she changed her mind and realized that she and Li Yu had gone to Emei Mountain for fun, while Qin Keren was practicing in Kunlun Cave Heaven...
Isn't the gap between the two people's cultivation getting bigger and bigger?
That won't work.
When she thought about Qin Keren secretly practicing in Kunlun, how could she still have the mind to travel?
She glanced at Qin Keren and said, "Hey, you can come too."
Qin Keren shook her head and said, "I won't go."
Nangong Chan grabbed her hand and said, "Let's go, let's go. What's the point of you practicing alone in Kunlun all day? Go out more often, your state of mind will improve, which will help you to form a baby..."
Jiang Li and Zhou Zixuan looked at the two of them with shocked expressions on their faces.
Jiang Li rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
Miss Nangong actually cares about Senior Sister Qin's baby-forming problem?
When did the relationship between the two of them become so good?
What happened during the short period when they were away from Yuxuan Peak?
