Chapter 20 Failed Transaction

"Isn't this magic?"

Mei Mu looked at her hands. According to Li Ke's instructions, she successfully trained out a stream of energy according to Li Ke's method.

But before she could be happy, she realized that this was just magic, completely different from the power called "Qi" that Li Ke showed her. They were completely two different things.

Compared to magic, the power called Qi is not very strong in terms of changes, but it always gives Mei Mu a terrible feeling, especially when Li Ke uses this power to attach it to the sword, it will produce a destructive power that is beyond her imagination.

Whether it was visible matter or invisible magic, these energies could destroy it. She had only seen this kind of power in the descriptions of some demon kings in the scrolls.

But Li Ke's energy is moderate and peaceful, and can vaguely blend into nature. It is definitely not an evil force.

But it wasn't magic, which left her puzzled.

It was obvious that the ratio of life force and spiritual force was exactly as Li Ke described, but it just didn't work.

"So, is it because of your special physical condition?"

Seeing that there was no magic in Li Ke's body at all, Mei Mu couldn't help but cover her face after asking about Li Ke's condition.

She realized that she had done something stupid.

Obviously, this power belongs only to Li Ke and is a kind of mutated "magic".

"No, this is sword energy!"

Li Ke interrupted her sigh seriously, causing Mei Mu to roll her eyes at Li Ke.

"This is clearly mutated magic!"

“This is sword energy!”

"magic!"

“Sword Qi!”

Mei Mu punched Li Ke in the chest, hitting Li Ke's ribs that had not yet fully grown, causing Li Ke to fall to the ground.

"magic!"

Li Ke remained silent. He looked at the two sickles, red and green, in Mei Mu's hands, and tears of humiliation flowed from the corners of his eyes.

"magic!"

His swordsmanship is not clean anymore.

Taking a deep breath, Meimu always felt that she could not maintain her usual steady image in front of this young swordsman. She thought this was because Li Ke was very similar to her daughter Akali, so after taking a few deep breaths, she returned to her original appearance.

Looking at Li Ke lying on the ground, speechless and choking, Mei Mu felt a headache. This matter was caused by her being too impatient, but she had to admit that she did make a loss-making deal.

If even she finds it difficult to learn this power that Li Ke calls Qi, then other people probably won't be able to do it either. They can only see if there are people like Li Ke who are born without magic in their bodies, and whether they can replicate Li Ke's miracle.

"Don't worry, I won't go back on my word after signing the contract. My family has some assets, so I will pay you a lot. This is the formula for the pill you took before. Although this pill is very effective in increasing your mental strength, it is not a drug that stimulates the mind, but you'd better rely less on drugs to increase your mental strength."

She didn't want to see Li Ke, who had a temperament similar to her daughter, become a sickly person, so she gave him a reminder.

"No problem, I know that, I'm just in case."

Li Ke waved his hand. Drugs that can make people more energetic are not uncommon in Ionia , but most of them... are nerve stimulants. Drugs that seriously increase mental strength are mixed in them, so it is very difficult to distinguish them.

Yes, there are people selling fake goods in Ionia too!

And there are a lot of them!

Mei Mu wanted to say something, but the sound of birds singing reached her ears. She immediately turned her head and looked over. Then when she looked at Li Ke, her temperament returned to the way it was when they first met.

Mei Mu casually threw a copy of the contract to Li Ke and prepared to leave.

"With this contract, you can obtain the money at any base of the Order of the Balance. But be careful, don't die, or I might bring someone to ask you how to use this energy. Leave here quickly, because what happens next is not something you can watch."

Li Ke nodded. Those who paid were the rich men, and he really didn't want to get involved in this matter anymore. So he waved to Mei Mu and limped towards the village in the distance.

"Bye now!"

Mei Mu did not answer him, but just watched him leave into the distance, then turned his head and looked at the two people who appeared behind him in a burst of purple light.

Ku said, and his son, Shen.

"Eavesdropping is not a good habit, Twilight Eyes."

The gray-haired Ku Shuo smiled. He had arrived a long time ago and witnessed the transaction between Li Ke and Mei Mu. He also tacitly agreed to this transaction which was somewhat unprofitable.

After all, it would be a good thing if the disciples of Hengheng could really learn this power.

But unfortunately, he and his son Shen tried it, but like Mei Mu, they failed.

"I'm sorry, that spirit beast was too violent. Shen and I spent a lot of time to deal with it... But if we had come earlier, you wouldn't have gotten this reward, right?"

Mei Mu felt a little ashamed. She felt that Ku Shuo was mocking her failure.

"Ha, it's just a failed deal. In all these years, I have only seen this person in the Land of the First Born who has no magic in his body. It's as if magic is circumventing him."

"But it's a new friend, isn't it?"

Ku Shuo just smiled. He drew out the spirit sword from his back, but did not use it as usual. Instead, he gave it to his son Shen.

Seeing his son's puzzled look, he didn't say anything, but asked him to go and collect the remaining spirit of Azaka and seal it up.

Mei Mu frowned, because if she remembered correctly, the person who was to inherit the sword of the spiritual world should be Ku Shuo's most proud disciple Jie. Why was Shen allowed to use this sword of the spiritual world?

However, how to choose is still Twilight Eyes' business. As the Fist of Shadow, she has no right to intervene in this matter, so she looked in the direction where Shen was heading and watched the performance of her son Ku Shuo.

But Li Ke’s situation is completely different.

"I think I need to simulate whether there will be any problems with my next trip!"

Sitting on a stone on the road, Li Ke touched his still aching arm and felt that he really needed to "predict" whether he would encounter such a weird thing again in his future trip.

So, looking at the spiritual power and life force that were overflowing because of the elixir, Li Ke gritted his teeth and started a simulation.

"Is it a fuzzy simulation memory?"

Li Ke chose yes without hesitation and started this simulation.

first day.

You dragged your seriously injured body to a small town and were wrapped like a mummy.
