Chapter 2: Undercover
It was late at night, and a man and a woman were alone.
The strange woman in the room made Li Yu a little dazed.
He didn't know this woman.
He has already digested a lot of the memories of his original body in his mind. At least he knows everyone in Baiyun Temple, but he has no impression of this woman. Li Yu doesn't have many friends here, and the only one who comes to his room to find him is Jiang Li.
Seeing his stunned expression, Li Yu hadn't spoken yet, but the woman in black asked with interest: "Why, you don't recognize me after two years of not seeing me?"
Li Yu subconsciously said: "You..."
Looking at the woman's strange yet familiar face, he just opened his mouth to say a word when his body suddenly shook and some fragments of memory flashed before his eyes .
That was a cliff.
When the young boy was picking herbs, he slipped and fell off a cliff. At the critical moment, a stream of light flashed across the sky, and a white jade hand grabbed the young man's shoulder and brought him to the top of the cliff .
On the cliff, the mountain wind was fierce. The young man stood in front of the girl, his expression respectful and fearful. He asked in a trembling voice: "Are you an immortal?..."
The woman did not answer, but looked at him and said calmly: "I saved you. From now on, your life belongs to me. Since you have the talent to practice, I want you to enter Baiyun Temple to practice. It would be best if you can become a disciple of Kunlun. I may be able to If you hear any important news, you can also come to Xuanyin Sect to find me..."
Some memories that suddenly emerged in his mind made Li Yu dumbfounded.
Li Yu in this world was originally an orphan who made a living by collecting herbs.
Two years ago, when he was collecting herbs in the mountains, he fell off a cliff and was rescued by this demonic witch. The witch found that he had the aptitude to practice cultivation, so she managed to get him into Baiyun Temple to act as an undercover agent of the demon sect. In this way, a little boy who collected herbs was forced to embark on the path of cultivating immortals...
Li Yu was extremely shocked.
Xuanyin Sect...
In the original body's memory, this is a major sect of the Demonic Path. In terms of strength, it is not much weaker than Kunlun. But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that he... is actually an undercover agent planted by the Demonic Path in the righteous path?
Li Yu couldn't accept it.
Although he had been an undercover agent for five years in his previous life, he was a positive character at that time. Even if he died in the line of duty, he was still a martyr and would be enshrined in the Martyrs' Cemetery and revered by others...
Now, after finally having a new life, I not only end up doing my old job, but also becoming a lackey of the villain...
The woman in black glanced at him and asked, "Why, did you remember?"
The professional habits he had developed over the years made Li Yu regain his composure quickly after a brief panic. He got off the bed and replied, "I will never forget the grace of saving my life, young lady. May I ask if you have any important business in Baiyun Temple this time?"
The black-clothed woman said calmly, "Nothing important, I just happened to be passing by and thought of you, so I came to see you. It's been almost two years, why haven't you succeeded in gathering your Qi yet?"
Being able to see through his realm at a glance, the black-clothed woman must be far stronger than him.
Li Yu was more cautious, but he looked embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you..."
The woman had a calm expression. She was not disappointed. She had just made this chess piece on impulse and had not expected much from him. This time, when she passed by Baiyun Mountain, she happened to remember that there was such a person, so she came to see him. Since he had not even succeeded in gathering Qi, he would not be chosen by Kunlun. This made her lose all hope for the young man she had saved...
She took one last look at Li Yu and floated towards the door without saying anything.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind her: "Girl, stay!"
The woman in black turned around and looked at Li Yu and asked, "What else?"
Li Yu rubbed his hands and said embarrassedly: "Miss, do you have Qi Gathering Pills? Can you give me a few? If I can gather Qi successfully, I will have the strength to do more things for you in the future..."
Years of undercover career have given Li Yu strong psychological qualities.
In a flash, he thought of a lot.
Undercover is a high-risk profession, and high risks often come with high benefits.
Since he is an undercover agent of the Demonic Path, it is reasonable for him to make a small request to the Demonic Path, right?
How can you want a horse to run without giving it grass?
The woman in black didn't expect Li Yu to ask her for the Qi Gathering Pill, but after thinking about it carefully, what he said made sense. If he could successfully become Kunlun's disciple, he might become an important chess piece for the evil to infiltrate the righteous path in the future. It would be worthwhile to invest more in the early stage.
What's more, Li Yu was planted here by her and was her only chess piece. She should be nicer to her own people.
She turned her hand over and a small jade bottle appeared in her palm.
With her current level of cultivation, she no longer needs the Qi Gathering Pill. This bottle of Qi Gathering Pill was used to restore her magic power during the Qi Refining Stage.
This scene made Li Yu stunned again. To be able to take objects out of thin air, she must have a space magic weapon on her. In the world of immortal cultivation, space magic weapons are high-end items. Even the foundation-building elders of the Kunlun sect stationed in Baiyun Temple do not have them.
The woman in black took out a milky white pill the size of a little finger nail from the jade bottle and threw it to Li Yu. Just as she was about to leave, Li Yu called her back.
She asked impatiently, "What else?"
Li Yu said: "Miss, can you give me an extra Qi Gathering Pill?"
The woman in black said unhappily, "One Qi Gathering Pill is enough. There is no benefit in taking more. Why do you need so many?"
Li Yu explained: "I have another friend who I think has great potential for development. I want to bribe him. Maybe he can become another helper for the girl in the future. Anyway, with your cultivation level, you should not need the Qi Condensation Pill now..."
The woman in black thought about it and threw another Qi Gathering Pill over.
After Li Yu took it, he continued: "If possible, can you give me another one? I think another friend also has the potential to become an undercover agent..."
Naturally, the more Qi Gathering Pills the better. Even if you can't use them yourself, it's also good to sell them. Qi Gathering Pills are very popular among cultivators in the Qi Induction Stage.
The spiritual coins obtained from selling can be exchanged for some magical instruments and talismans for self-defense.
Opportunities are fleeting, and once lost, they will never come back. If you miss her this time, you don’t know when you will be able to see her again.
After a brief silence, a jade bottle was thrown over and hit Li Yu on the head. Li Yu remembered that he didn't have a suitable magic weapon yet, so he planned to take advantage of it again, but there was no sign of the woman in black in the room.
He picked up the jade bottle from the ground, opened it and looked inside. There was only one pearl left, plus the two pearls just now, there were only three pearls in total.
Li Yu put the two pills into the jade bottle, curled his lips and said, "How stingy! I thought you had a lot..."
As soon as the words fell, a huge force came from his buttocks, and the whole person flew up and lay on the bed in the posture of a toad. Li Yu immediately got up, stood at the head of the bed, and said respectfully: "Thank you, young lady..."
There was no response for a long time. This time she must have really left.
Li Yu closed the door and dared not mutter any more. Above Baiyun Temple, a woman in black stood in the air, took one last look downwards, and then disappeared into the dark sky...
Inside the room, Li Yu did not practice. He sat at the table with a serious expression.
A traitor must not die a good death. This is the bloody lesson he learned with his life in his previous life.
If he had a choice, he wouldn't want to be an undercover agent for either side.
Unfortunately, he had no choice.
In the world of immortal cultivation, strength is respected. If one is not strong enough, he will be at the mercy of others. If the righteous side discovers his undercover identity, his fate will be miserable. If he betrays the evil side, his fate will be even worse...
If it were anyone else, they would be panicking right now.
But Li Yu was not panicked at all.
With his limited strength at the Qi Induction Stage, he could do almost nothing.
As long as I am a waste, no one can take advantage of me.
What can a waste in the air-inducing period do?
As for the future, let’s talk about it later. How to deal with the entanglement between the righteous path and the evil path is something Li Yu should consider in the future. It’s useless for him to think about it now.
Li Yu looked down at the pill bottle in his hand. At least for now, being an undercover agent of the Demonic Path was not a bad thing...
