Chapter 179 Rumors
Xuanyin Sect.
Although it was not so perfect, the battle for this year's Nine Nether List has finally come to an end.
This Demonic Ceremony is the most special one in history. The intervention of the two righteous giants, Tiandao Sect and Kunlun, has resulted in six of the top ten positions on the Jiuyou List being righteous disciples.
After discussion among the elders of each faction, this is the only session of the Nine Nether List where there is a tie for the top spot.
After all, so many elders and disciples of the demon sect couldn't just watch the young master of Kunlun and the saint of Xuanyin sect throwing fireballs at each other.
Everyone knows that they are in love, but this is a public place after all. As for who is on top and who is at the bottom, let them go home and decide for themselves.
In previous Nine Nether Lists, it was difficult to have a tie, because the rewards for the first and second place were very different. How to distribute the prizes to satisfy both people was a difficult problem to solve.
The two of them are a family, so naturally they don't have such concerns.
The new Nine Netherworld List had just been released, and the Nascent Soul ancestors from the Xuanyin Sect, Puppet Sect, Soul Refining Sect, and other sects who were responsible for preparing for the Demonic Ceremony held an emergency meeting in the Xuanyin Sect.
The content of the discussion was naturally about the Demonic Ceremony.
In the past, the ceremony allowed the companions of disciples from all sects to attend. It was just a convenient door opened by the three major sects to recruit some powerful independent cultivators or geniuses who had rebelled against the righteous path.
Unexpectedly, during this ceremony, the Demon Flame Sect actually became a traitor to the evil sect.
They lured the Tiandao Sect into the fight and nearly seized all the high-level demon pills that the various sects had worked so hard to gather.
Five people from the Tiandao Sect came to this ceremony. Next time there may be ten, twenty or even more people. By then, the Jiuyou List might as well be renamed the Tianjiao List.
After unanimous discussion, the powerful men from various demon sects decided that from now on, those who wanted to participate in the Demon Ceremony must be disciples of the Demon Sect who practiced demon techniques. This would completely eliminate the possibility of trouble from righteous sects such as the Tiandao Sect.
…
Lingchan Peak.
There was a jade box on the stone table in front of Li Yu and Nangong Chan.
There are six demon pills in the box, and each of them has nine faint lines on it.
The Nine-Turn Demon Pill is equivalent to a cultivator in the late Golden Core stage. It is difficult to keep their demon pills unless they are from a powerful Divine Transformation cultivator. It can save the hard work of a cultivator in the Nine-Turn Golden Core stage. No matter in the righteous or evil ways, it is an extremely precious thing.
However, because the magic power contained in this demon pill is too powerful, only those with the ninth level of golden elixir can refine it.
If you don't have enough strength and take it by force, your body will explode and die.
Li Yu glanced at Nangong Chan and asked, "How do we divide it?"
Nangong Chan thought for a moment and said, "Half for each?"
Li Yu nodded.
Even if it was the Nine Revolutions Demon Pill, it would not be of such great effect to him. Most of the energy would be absorbed by the Qiankun Furnace, and he did not really need it. The improvement in his cultivation level during the pill refining process alone was already considerable.
There are six demon pills, two of which are of fire attribute, and the remaining four correspond to the other four attributes.
The witch picked up one with fire attribute, one with gold attribute, and one with earth attribute.
Leaving Li Yu with another one of fire attribute, water attribute, and wood attribute.
Li Yu thought that she would pick up two fire-attribute pills and the one water-attribute one, because she had the dual spiritual veins of water and fire. Her spiritual veins could withstand these two attributes, even the Nine Revolutions Demon Pill.
However, he also knew that the witch was thinking about him.
Jiang Li has a water-attributed spiritual vein, Zhou Zixuan specializes in wood-attributed spiritual veins, and Li Yu's best talent is in fire-attributed spiritual veins, which correspond exactly to the demon pills she left behind.
A quarter of an hour later, when Li Yu saw the witch again, her cultivation had improved.
The fire-attributed nine-turn demon pill allowed her golden elixir of the corresponding attribute to be upgraded from the second turn to the fourth turn.
Li Yu didn't expect her to be so anxious. Even if it was a demon pill of the same level, most of the magic power would be wasted during the refining process. The greater the gap between her cultivation and the demon pill, the more wasted. The best situation would actually be to wait until her golden pill reached the ninth level before she could make the most of the demon pill.
But she had already eaten it, so Li Yu couldn't say anything more.
After the ceremony, people from various sects of the Demonic Path returned to their sects one after another.
Li Yu had originally planned to return to Kunlun after the Demonic Ceremony was over, but since he returned to Lingchan Peak, he has welcomed wave after wave of guests.
The people who came were all the second generation of immortals from the demonic path. Li Yu had made a preliminary acquaintance with them at the banquet. When they were climbing the stairs, Li Yu used a few pills to deliberately consolidate the relationship. When he saw them again, everyone was obviously much more enthusiastic than the first time they met.
On the second day, under the escort of the two Nascent Soul ancestors of the Xuanyin Sect, Li Yu and the demon girl returned to Kunlun again.
Going back to Kunlun with him once a month seemed to have become a tacit understanding. Li Yu didn't need to ask her specifically. When it was time to leave, she would appear on the spirit boat by herself.
Yuxuan Peak.
Nangong Chan was very strange.
No, it’s Zhou Zixuan and Jiang Li who are weird.
From the moment she sat here, the two women looked at her from time to time .
At first she thought that the hairstyle she asked Li Yu to comb today was not suitable for her, but after careful observation she found that Jiang Li and Zhou Zixuan were looking at her lower abdomen.
The first thought that came to Nangong Chan's mind was, could it be that she gained weight because of eating and drinking so much with Li Yuhu in the past month?
But that's impossible. She has used her cultivation to control herself. She won't gain weight no matter how much she eats...
At this moment, Yuxu Peak.
Li Yu came to find the head master, but the news he got was that he was still in seclusion.
This news is neither good nor bad for Li Yu.
If the master doesn't come out of seclusion, the dual cultivation ceremony between him and Jiang Li will have to be postponed, and it will always be improper.
But if he were to break through to the Spirit Transformation stage, he would have a master who was also at the Spirit Transformation stage, and would be considered among the second generation of immortals.
Li Yu walked to the back hall of Yuxu Palace and saw a slender figure sitting in the pavilion playing the piano.
Li Yu finished listening to the song before walking forward and saying, "Senior Sister."
Qin Keren took her hands off the strings and said, "Let me see if you have been slacking off in your practice this month."
Li Yu obediently came to the rear hall square and began to demonstrate various spells.
He had no choice but to listen to Senior Sister Qin's words, especially when it came to cultivation. She had always been in charge of his cultivation.
After a moment, Qin Keren shook her head and said, "All spells have slightly regressed. It seems that you haven't practiced well during this period, or even not at all."
Li Yu lowered his head and said nothing.
Learning is like rowing against the current, if you don't advance, you will regress, and the same goes for magic. Although you won't forget it, if you don't practice it for a long time, both the casting speed and the power of the spell may decline.
He indeed did not practice during this month.
How can he practice well with a demon girl around him...
After refining the elixir, he either accompanied her fishing, learned cooking with Xu Yi, learned dressing with Tian Qi, accompanied her to eat, drink and play, and did everything except sleeping with her.
But he did make some progress during this month. Not only did his cooking skills improve greatly, he also learned hair design. It's just that Senior Sister Qin didn't know about it.
Qin Keren didn't say anything else, but just pointed out the shortcomings in his spell casting process. Li Yu listened to her teachings carefully. In terms of cultivation, she was undoubtedly Li Yu's most competent teacher.
After a while, the two returned to the pavilion they had been in.
Li Yu remembered something and took out a small jade box from the storage space, handed it to her, and said, "Senior Sister, this is for you."
Qin Keren took a look and shook her head, saying, "The Nine Revolutions Demon Pill is too precious, you should keep it."
Li Yu said: "Senior sister has been teaching me how to practice, and I have nothing to repay you."
Qin Keren said naturally: "You are my junior brother, teaching you how to practice is what I should do."
Li Yu added: "Master said that we should help each other. I won't be able to use this demon pill in the short term..."
Qin Keren still shook her head: "I don't want it."
Li Yu said leisurely: "Miss Nangong has just refined a Nine-transformation Demon Pill. She is now at Yuxuan Peak..."
He still hoped that the demon girl and Senior Sister Qin could live in harmony. He didn't want the demon girl to suffer, nor did he want Senior Sister Qin to be bullied...
Qin Keren paused, she knew what Nangong Chan would do after her cultivation level improved.
Li Yu took the opportunity to put the jade box in her hand and said, "Senior sister, you practice first. I will go back to Yuxuan Peak."
When he turned to leave, Qin Keren suddenly asked, "Do you want to become a Taoist couple with Nangong Chan?"
Li Yu paused, turned around and asked in astonishment: "Who told you that?"
Qin Keren said: "The disciples of the sect are all saying that Nangong Chan is pregnant with your child. Is this true?"
If even Senior Sister Qin has heard of something, then the entire Kunlun must have heard of it.
After explaining everything to her, Li Yu left Yuxu Peak and immediately went to find Wu Tong.
No wonder Zhou Zixuan and Jiang Li’s eyes were full of deep meaning just now. What could this guy do? Such an outrageous rumor could actually spread in Kunlun.
After a while, at a peak of Kunlun.
Wu Tong looked at Li Yu, a little disappointed, and asked, "Ah, the Saint of Xuanyin Sect is not pregnant?"
Li Yu said unhappily, "Of course not. We are not a Taoist couple, and we don't have any children. Please help me dispel the rumor in the latest issue of Kunlun Monthly..."
Wu Tong looked embarrassed and said, "It's not easy to dispel this rumor. Originally, only a few disciples knew about this matter. If it was published in the Kunlun Monthly, wouldn't everyone know about it? That wouldn't be a rumor dispelling..."
Li Yu thought about it carefully and it seemed that what he said made sense.
It takes only one mouth to spread a rumor, but it takes a lot of effort to refute it. This matter can only be dealt with coldly. Anyway, after a year, the rumor will be proven wrong.
"Forget it." Li Yu waved his hand, then looked at Wu Tong and asked, "Do you want to work for me?"
Wu Tong is the first friend Li Yu met in Kunlun. Although he does not have a high talent for cultivation, he is very capable. With Li Yu's current status, it is impossible for him to do everything by himself, and he needs such talents under him.
He threw a few boxes of Tuomai Pills to Wu Tong and gave him a few Jinling Pills, intending to improve his cultivation to the Jindan stage first.
Although Wu Tong was moved to tears of gratitude, Li Yu did not feel any faith from him.
This made Li Yu feel emotional. He thought that the disciples of the Demonic Path were really simple-minded. This kind of guy who was good at dealing with people had too many tricks in his mind. However, it was his good at dealing with people that Li Yu valued.
After returning to Yuxuan Peak, the witch didn't know what to do.
Facing the questioning looks from Jiang Li and Zhou Zixuan, Li Yu finally managed to explain to them that there was nothing wrong between him and the demon girl, that the so-called Taoist couple relationship was a rumor, and that the pregnancy rumor was even more nonsense...
Not long after, Nangong Chan returned to Yuxuan Peak.
The expression on her face was depressed.
She finally got a Nine Revolutions Demon Pill and improved her cultivation. She thought she could finally bully Qin Keren, but in the battle just now, she still didn't gain any advantage.
It seems that Qin Keren can improve as much as she improves.
It was as if she had also refined a Nine-Transformation Demon Pill.
As much as she expected before coming to Kunlun, she is now as disappointed as ever.
She walked straight to Li Yu, took out a golden Nine Revolutions Demon Pill and handed it to him.
Li Yu glanced at her and asked, "What are you doing?"
Nangong Chan said: "Where is your fire-attributed demon pill? I'll trade this with you."
