Chapter 216: Choose Again
Yuxu Palace, rear hall.
Li Yu looked at the chessboard in front of him and shook his head, "It's been ten years, and I have never beaten my senior sister once. It seems that I have no talent at all in playing chess."
Qin Keren said: "You are making rapid progress. One day you will surpass me."
Li Yu put away the chess pieces and said, "Let's play again."
Although he had never won a game against Senior Sister Qin in nearly a thousand games over the past ten years, he just liked playing chess with her. To be more precise, he liked being with her.
For some reason, when he was with Senior Sister Qin, his heart was always exceptionally peaceful, and even his cultivation speed was faster than usual.
He didn't have this feeling even when he was with Senior Sister Xu.
Qin Keren made her moves slowly and steadily. In fact, if she was serious in every game, she could easily beat Li Yu, but every time, she would let him take a few steps.
This way, the two of them can sit here for more time.
For some reason, when she was with Li Yu, her heart was always exceptionally peaceful, and even her cultivation speed was faster.
After the game of chess, as expected, he lost again.
However, in the match with Senior Sister Qin, winning or losing is not important.
Li Yu left Yuxu Peak and planned to go find Elder Sun and Chen Ming to have a drink. When Elder Sun was about to die, Li Yu gave him two Golden Spirit Pills. Now he has successfully formed the pill. As one of his few friends in Baiyun Temple, Chen Ming was also recruited to the sect as an exception.
As he was passing through the main hall, Wang Daoxuan called him and Li Yu asked, "Master, what do you want me to do?"
Wang Daoxuan stroked his short beard and said, "There is something I need to tell you. The sect has decided to marry you to Bai Qingying, the leader of the Four Beauties of Emei. It should be finalized soon. You should be prepared."
Li Yu was stunned for a moment: "Ah?"
Wang Daoxuan asked, "What's with that expression on your face? Don't you want to become a Taoist partner with Junior Brother Bai?"
…
Li Yu naturally knew Senior Sister Bai, the leader of the Four Beauties of Emei, as they had attended several Immortal Conferences together. However, they were just acquaintances and the two did not have too deep interactions. She and Senior Sister Bai had never even spoken a word to each other.
What impressed Li Yu most about her was her long legs.
Suddenly, he was caught off guard to be married to her.
Bai Qingying of Emei is not only the leader of the Four Beauties of Emei, but also is known as one of the Four Beauties of the Immortal World along with Qin Keren and Xu Qingxin of Kunlun and Nangong Chan of Xuanyin Sect. No matter in terms of talent or appearance, she is the best among the female cultivators in the immortal world.
The number of male cultivators who want to become her Taoist partner could probably line up from Kunlun to Emei.
But, if I become her Taoist partner, what will Senior Sister Xu do?
Li Yu looked at Wang Daoxuan and asked, "Master, can't we change someone to marry into Emei?"
Wang Daoxuan shook his head and said, "Junior Brother Bai is the future headmaster of Emei, and you are the future headmaster of Kunlun. Whether in terms of appearance, talent, or status, you are the most suitable. This is also the decision of several incarnation ancestors of the sect..."
The news that Kunlun's young master Li Yu was going to become a Taoist couple with Bai Qingying, one of the four beauties of Emei, quickly spread throughout the world of immortal cultivation.
The two giants of the righteous path have joined forces, undoubtedly to resist the hegemony of the Tiandao Sect.
At this Immortal Conference, the Tiandao Sect secretly won over and instigated countless disciples and elders from various righteous sects to rebel. Among them were not only young geniuses, but even Nascent Soul ancestors. This also meant a split between the Tiandao Sect and the righteous sects.
At the same time, the Tiandao Sect supported the Moyan Sect, stirred up disputes in the demon world, and interfered in the internal affairs of the Central Dynasty. All of this showed their ambition to dominate the world of immortal cultivation.
Under such circumstances, the marriage between Kunlun and Emei naturally attracted much attention in the world of immortal cultivation.
They were born into a prominent family and had outstanding talents. No matter from which aspect, they were an enviable couple in the world of immortal cultivation.
However, Kunlun’s disciples will inevitably have regrets in their hearts.
Over the years, Senior Brother Li and Senior Sisters Xu and Qin have appeared in pairs both inside and outside the sect. Inside the sect , some disciples kowtow to him and Senior Sister Xu, while some kowtow to him and Senior Sister Qin. But they did not expect that the one who would eventually get him would be Senior Sister Bai from Emei.
On the day of the dual cultivation ceremony, all the righteous sects, big and small, gathered in Kunlun to celebrate the event. Taking this opportunity, the Shushan, Qingcheng, Maoshan, Tianji Sect, Tianyin Sect and other righteous sects also announced their alliance.
Even the various sects of the evil path temporarily gave up their grudges with the righteous path, and took the opportunity of congratulations to secretly contact the various sects of the righteous path.
This major event that affected the entire world of immortal cultivation was centered around Li Yu's dual cultivation ceremony, but there was nothing he could control.
Yuxu Palace.
After being forced to drink an unknown amount of spiritual wine, Li Yu arrived at a palace that was decorated in an extremely festive manner.
Bai Qingying sat on the bed, looked at Li Yu apologetically, and said, "I'm sorry, the one who should have appeared here tonight was Miss Qingxin..."
Li Yu shook her head and said, "It's not Senior Sister Bai's fault. You don't need to apologize."
Bai Qingying moved her lips but ultimately couldn't say anything.
On their wedding night, the two looked at each other in silence.
One month later.
In front of Yuzhu Peak, Li Yu stood in the air.
The formation here has not been opened for him for a month.
Ever since the sect decided to let him and Senior Sister Bai become a Taoist couple, Senior Sister Xu stopped seeing him.
Having spent more than ten years together day and night, the two had already been connected in heart, with only the last layer of barrier left to be broken. However, fate played a huge joke between them.
In Yuxu Palace, Wang Daoxuan looked at Li Yu in surprise and asked, "Are you going to the Demonic Path to make pills?"
Li Yu nodded and said, "Since they are going to send an alchemist there anyway, why don't I go? It's a good opportunity to practice with the resources of the magic path."
"But you just got married..."
"No problem."
…
Under the pressure of Tiandao Sect, the righteous and evil sects had to carry out in-depth cooperation and turn the resources accumulated by the evil sect over the years into elixirs, magic tools, talismans, etc. Li Yu, the young master of Kunlun, personally went to the evil sect to refine elixirs, which undoubtedly showed Kunlun's greatest sincerity.
Not only did the Xuanyin Sect send two powerful late Nascent Soul masters to Kunlun to protect him, but even the Saint of the Xuanyin Sect came to Kunlun in person to greet him.
Outside Kunlun Cave Heaven, on the Xuanyin Sect's spirit boat, Li Yu looked at a woman in black standing at the bow of the boat, and there seemed to be some subtle throbbing in the depths of his soul.
Nangong Chan, one of the four beauties in the world of immortals, is indeed worthy of her reputation.
She is also the only female cultivator whose talent can be compared with Senior Sister Qin.
While Li Yu was looking at Nangong Chan, Nangong Chan was also looking at Li Yu.
She had heard of the name Li Yu a long time ago.
Among his peers, he is the only genius in the world of immortal cultivation who can be compared with her and Qin Keren.
The two people's eyes met, and a strange feeling spread from the void.
Three years later.
Xuanyin Sect.
Lingchan Peak.
Nangong Chan leaned against a pillar, looking at Li Yu who was busy in the kitchen, and shook her head and said, "The dignified Young Master of Kunlun actually learned this kind of thing from the disciples of the Demon Sect..."
"Then don't eat for a while."
"Remember to learn a few more recipes for whitebait..."
After three years of getting along, Nangong Chan and he had already become familiar with each other. Strangely enough, as a saint of the evil path, her only friend was a genius of the righteous path.
Nangong Chan glanced at Li Yu and said, "Why don't you just not go back to Kunlun? It would be great if you could stay in our Xuanyin Sect. As long as you're willing to stay, I'll try my best to satisfy you no matter what you want..."
Li Yu glanced at her and asked, "What about you?"
Nangong Chan smiled disdainfully: "Do you dare?"
Li Yu shook his head and said, "I really don't dare."
For convenience, Li Yu has been refining pills in Xuanyin Sect for the past three years. He also had the pills from other sects of the Demonic Path sent to Xuanyin Sect. During this period, he naturally got to know many geniuses of the Demonic Path, but the one he was most familiar with was Nangong Chan, with whom he had been living day and night for three years.
When he first met this enchanting woman, Li Yu thought that she was the same aloof type as Senior Sister Qin.
After spending more time with her, I discovered that her coldness was all pretend. Once I got to know her well, her true nature was exposed.
If it comes to choosing a Taoist partner, Li Yu would definitely not choose her. He still prefers the type like Senior Sister Xu.
But as a friend, the demon girl is still a good one. In the past three years, playing and fighting with her has added a lot of fun to my boring practice life.
After preparing the last dinner for her, Li Yu said, "I will be back to Kunlun tomorrow. If you are free, you can come to Kunlun to find me."
The second day.
At Lingchan Peak, Li Yu waved to Nangong Chan and said, "Let's go..."
"Hello!"
He had already flown a distance when he heard the witch's voice behind him. He turned around and asked, "Anything else?"
Nangong Chan looked at him from a distance and asked, "You really don't want to stay? What you said yesterday is not impossible to consider..."
Li Yu was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "If you really can't get married, I can consider it. After all, we are friends..."
Nangong Chan was furious and said, "Go away, go back to your Kunlun!"
It was not until Li Yu left that the anger on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by a hint of melancholy.
It would be great if this guy was a disciple of the evil sect.
Three days later.
A piece of news shocked the world of immortal cultivation.
Li Yu, the young master of Kunlun, was attacked by a Nascent Soul master of the Demon Flame Sect on his way back to Kunlun from the Xuanyin Sect. He was seriously injured and nearly died.
Although he successfully escaped back to Kunlun with the help of the protective talisman, his spiritual veins were damaged, which might have a serious impact on his future practice.
When the future headmaster was attacked, Kunlun was naturally furious, and he immediately gathered countless powerful men in the sect and pointed his swords at the Demon Flame Sect.
Li Yu's Taoist partner is the future leader of Emei. Emei and Kunlun will prosper and suffer together. Emei also sent two gods and more than ten Nascent Souls to go to the Demon Flame Gate together with the strong men of Kunlun.
The Demon Flame Sect is just a small sect of the demon world, how can it be a match for the two giants of the righteous world?
Before the strong men from the two sects arrived, the Demon Flame Sect had already been defeated and some had fled. Some of the strong men fled to the Tiandao Sect, while most of the other disciples were divided up by other sects of the Demonic Path.
Kunlun Cave.
Yuxu Peak.
In a palace, Li Yu was lying on the bed. Bai Qingying fed him the spiritual liquid in the jade bowl spoonful by spoonful. Li Yu said embarrassedly, "Sorry to bother you, Senior Sister Bai."
Although they have been Taoist companions for three years, they have always been respectful to each other and are not actually Taoist companions.
Bai Qingying smiled and said, "Why are you being polite? Taoist couples should support each other."
A figure flew into the hall in a hurry. Xu Qingxin looked at Li Yu, who was lying on the bed with a weak breath, and her heart tightened. She couldn't help but walk forward quickly, but when she saw the figure accompanying him, she stopped in her tracks.
Bai Qingying handed her the jade bowl of spiritual liquid at the right time and said, "Junior Sister Qingxin should do it. This spiritual liquid is used to repair damaged spiritual veins. Junior Sister must watch him finish drinking it."
Xu Qingxin did not answer it. She shook her head and said, "Senior Sister Bai should come. I, I just came to see him."
Li Yu looked at Xu Qingxin, smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry, Senior Sister, it's just a minor injury, it will be fine after a period of recuperation."
A figure walked in from outside the door and said, "Your injury is not a minor one. If it is more serious, your spiritual veins may be destroyed, and you may lose your cultivation and become a mortal..."
Li Yu and Bai Qingying saw this figure and said at the same time: "Master."
Xu Qingxin also bowed in time: "Master."
Wang Daoxuan glanced at Li Yu and said, "For the next two years, you should stay in the sect and take good care of your injuries. You are not allowed to go anywhere."
After that, he handed a thin booklet to Bai Qingying and said, "This is the secret book of dual cultivation that the elder of the Hehuan Sect just sent me. Some of the yin and yang fusion methods in it are very effective in repairing spiritual veins. You should try it carefully..."
As a master, he was not in a position to elaborate on this topic. After handing the secret book to Bai Qingying, he left.
Bai Qingying looked at the booklet in her hand, her face flushed. She stood up and stuffed it into Xu Qingxin's hand, saying, "Junior sister, you should do it..."
Xu Qingxin's face turned even redder, and she sent the book back, saying, "No, no, no, Senior Sister is more suitable..."
"You do it……"
"You should come..."
…
One month later.
At Yuxu Peak, Li Yu and the two women walked hand in hand. At this moment, he not only did not have the slightest resentment towards the two elders of the Demon Flame Sect who had secretly attacked him and almost caused him to lose all his cultivation, he even wanted to thank them.
If it weren't for them, he probably wouldn't have had the chance to stroll openly in the sect holding Senior Sister Bai's left hand and Senior Sister Xu's right hand.
Along the way, Kunlun disciples also looked at Li Yu with envy.
Three years ago, he had just become a couple with Bai Qingying, one of the four beauties in the world of immortal cultivation. Three years later, he married Xu Qingxin, one of the four beauties. Being able to have both Sister Bai's legs and Sister Xu's waist at the same time, countless disciples were envious and cried.
…
Time flies, and a hundred years pass in the blink of an eye.
A hundred years ago, with the help of the Qiankun Furnace, Li Yu had reached the peak of the Golden Elixir realm, but until now, he has not been able to form a baby.
As early as fifty years ago, Senior Sister Qin and the demon girl had caught up with him in cultivation, and more than twenty years ago, Senior Sister Xu and Senior Sister Bai also cultivated the single spiritual vein to the peak of the golden elixir.
All of them were stuck before the Nascent Soul stage.
Not long ago, a secret cave was revealed in southern Xinjiang. I hope I can gain something from this trip...
…
Southern Xinjiang.
Li Yu moved quickly through a spiritual mist.
Unexpectedly, what appeared in the world this time was the ancient Piaomiao Immortal Sect. Not only did he obtain several powerful magic weapons in it, he also discovered a secret cave, from which he obtained several bottles of ancient elixirs that had been sealed for tens of thousands of years and were still intact.
Among them, the Barrier Breaking Pill, which can help cultivators break through the Nascent Soul state of mind, is prominently listed.
There are as many as ten Barrier Breaking Pills. In addition, there are dozens of Infant Pregnancy Pills. Not only can he and Senior Sister Qin form infants, but Qingxin and Qingying can also quickly advance to the Nascent Soul stage.
Li Yu flew to a certain place, and from the spiritual mist in front of him came a violent fluctuation of magic power.
At the same time, he also sensed two familiar auras.
In the secret realm of Piaomiao Immortal Sect, in front of a certain relic, Nangong Chan and Qin Keren each held up a magic shield, and they were attacked by nearly a hundred disciples of Tiandao Sect.
Even though their cultivation had reached the peak of the Five Spirit Veins Golden Core, they were still unable to defeat a hundred alone. The magic shield was shaking violently, and it seemed like it would collapse in the next moment.
At the critical moment.
A figure suddenly appeared from the fog.
The two of them looked over at the same time.
When Li Yu arrived, he saw that the magic shields of Senior Sister Qin and Nangong Chan collapsed at the same time.
Without any time to think, he ran towards a figure without hesitation and held her in his arms...
…
Emei.
Inside the hall, the map of mountains and rivers was still floating quietly in the void.
At this moment, there were only two figures sitting cross-legged in the hall.
Although only ten days had passed in reality, one hundred and twenty years had passed in the illusion, a full two decades.
Few people can spend two centuries in the map of mountains and rivers. The experiences in the illusion evolve according to one's own memory, and the difficulties or crises encountered in the past are also difficult to avoid in the illusion.
Even if they managed to survive these crises in reality, the results might be completely different when they experienced them again in the fantasy world.
Even the two powerful gods of Emei had their consciousness returned to their bodies two days ago, ending their journey of spiritual cultivation.
The white-haired old woman said, "In the past few hundred years, Kunlun has produced many talented people. The one named Wang Daoxuan spent three hundred years in the illusion, and the girl named Zhao lasted five hundred years. I wonder how long these two little guys can last..."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly turned her head and looked at a figure.
Although the woman was wearing a veil that could block divine sense, she still saw a faint smile on her beautiful face under the white veil...
