Chapter 4: First Attack
Baiyun Mountains.
A young man wearing only a grass skirt and with his upper body naked was flying at a low altitude.
After entering the Qi Refining Stage, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is stored in the meridians, which can support short-distance flight. Whether or not one can fly is also the watershed between Qi Induction and Qi Refining.
Li Yu has been flying for quite a while.
Whenever the spiritual energy in his body was exhausted, he would come down to restore his magic power. When his magic power was replenished, he would continue to experience the feeling of flying in the air. He never tired of this new and novel experience that he had never had before.
Li Yu was having a lot of fun. At this moment, in a valley somewhere, another figure was so angry that his face turned pale.
Jiang Li held a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum tightly in his hand, looked at the figures opposite him, and said through gritted teeth: "Mr. Chen, I found this first!"
Opposite him, there were three men and one woman. The leading man smiled disdainfully and said, "What do you mean you found it first? I found this Ganoderma lucidum a long time ago and was just waiting for it to mature. There is a mark I made on the tree next to it."
Jiang Li looked at the mark on the tree and said angrily, "I saw it with my own eyes. This is clearly the mark you made just now!"
The man laughed sarcastically, turned around and asked, "Did you see it?"
The two men behind him spoke without hesitation.
"No."
"No, there was a mark there when we came..."
The young woman, however, looked at Jiang Li's handsome face with some hesitation, turned to look at the young man beside her, and whispered: "Brother Chen, why don't you just forget it? It's just a Ganoderma lucidum, and it's not very old. It's not worth a few spirit coins..."
Seeing the young woman speak up for Jiang Li, the man surnamed Chen felt a little angry. Didn't she just think Jiang Li was good-looking? In the world of immortal cultivation, strength is respected. Good looks are useless. This superficial woman...
The man surnamed Chen said with a sullen face: "Junior Sister Zhou, don't worry about it. This is not about the spirit coins..."
The young woman didn't know what to say after hearing this. She also knew that Chen Ming and Jiang Li and Li Yu had some old grudges and they had always been in conflict. Although Jiang Li and Li Yu were very good-looking, she couldn't bear to see them being bullied. But Chen Ming had successfully gathered his Qi half a year ago and officially entered the Qi Refining Stage. His strength was even stronger than hers. Some dangerous tasks in the temple often required the cooperation of two people, so she didn't want to offend Chen Ming.
However, looking at Jiang Li's pitiful handsome face, she couldn't help but feel a desire to protect him.
She secretly clenched her fists and decided that once her cultivation level reached a higher level, she would never allow Chen Ming to bully them again.
Chen Ming looked at Jiang Li's flushed face. The more beautiful this face was, the more he hated it. It was not only because Chen State and Jiang State were enemies, but also because his teammate, Junior Sister Zhou, had always been fond of Jiang Li and Li Yu. Of course, the more important reason was the mixed doubles beating that Li Yu and Jiang Li gave him when he first came to Baiyun Temple two years ago...
Therefore, ever since he entered the Qi Refining Stage, he has been targeting these two hateful guys everywhere.
Although the hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum is not worth a few spirit coins, it can still make him breathe a sigh of relief.
"Bring it here!"
Chen Ming stretched out his hand to grab the Ganoderma lucidum, but unexpectedly he grabbed nothing. A figure appeared in front of Jiang Li and protected him behind him. Seeing the figure, Chen Ming was slightly stunned.
He would never forget this hateful face. If he were to name the person he hated the most in Baiyun Temple, Li Yu would be second, and no one could be ranked first. After all, he was the one who kicked the hardest during the beating two years ago, which made him lie in bed for a full half a month...
However, Li Yu at this time really confused Chen Ming.
He had his hair loose, was naked, and had no shoes on. He only wore a super short grass skirt around his crotch. If you didn't know him, you would think he was a wild man from somewhere.
This outfit also stunned the other two men. However, the young woman's eyes lingered on Li Yu's faintly visible abdominal muscles and pectoral muscles, and a rosy glow appeared on her pretty face.
After a brief moment of daze, Chen Ming came back to his senses and asked Li Yu: "What do you want to do?"
"I want to fuck you!"
In response, Li Yu punched him without hesitation.
After successfully gathering Qi, Li Yu also completely digested the memories in his mind. He was not unfamiliar with the person in front of him. The other party was a prince of the State of Chen. The State of Chen and the State of Jiang were neighboring countries and had always had constant friction. Therefore, on the first day of entering Baiyun Temple, after he learned of Jiang Li's identity, he took the initiative to provoke trouble and had a conflict with Jiang Li.
At that time, Li Yu had just arrived at Baiyun Temple. He was dressed in rags and looked poor. Except for Jiang Li, no one was willing to pay attention to him.
Of course he could not stand idly by when his only friend was bullied, so he immediately joined forces with Jiang Li and carried out an inhumane mixed doubles match against Chen Ming. Because they violated the ban on the first day of entering the temple, the two were locked up in a small dark room together by Elder Sun for three days. It was during those three days that they forged a deep revolutionary friendship.
In Baiyun Temple, the two were almost inseparable, and Chen Ming had no chance to take revenge.
Until half a year ago, Chen Mingxian advanced to the Qi Refining stage before them, and the situation changed completely. There is only one word difference between Qi Drawing and Qi Refining, but it makes the difference between immortals and mortals. Since then, Li Yu and Jiang Li could only avoid him.
Even so, he still snatched away their elixirs and missions several times. Over the past six months, Li Yu and Jiang Li had been feeling very frustrated.
Li Yu, who had integrated those memories, naturally also suffered that kind of grievance. When he saw Chen Ming, he could not control his emotions.
If you are not strong enough, you should bow your head when the time comes.
But now, can he bear this injustice?
He just broke through to the Qi Refining Stage...
The punch came with a whistling sound, and Chen Ming was startled. However, he was at the first level of Qi Refining after all, so his reaction speed was extremely fast. Almost the next moment after Li Yu swung his fist, he also immediately swung his fist to meet it.
“You don’t know your own limitations!”
Chen Ming snorted coldly. Although the counterattack with this punch was a little hasty, the huge gap in strength between the two was enough to make up for everything. In front of everyone, Li Yu was the first to attack. Even if he broke his arm, Elder Sun could not blame himself.
boom!
The two fists collided with each other, making a dull sound. The two men had similar strength, one punched with all his strength, and the other fought back hastily. Li Yu's body only shook slightly, but Chen Ming flew backwards directly.
boom!
There was another muffled sound, and Chen Ming fell heavily to the ground. He looked at Li Yu in disbelief, wondering why he had so much strength.
Li Yu clenched his fist. This punch helped to dissipate some of the frustration in his heart, but not completely. Almost at the moment Chen Ming landed on the ground, he had already caught up to Chen Ming.
Chen Ming immediately activated his magic power and his whole body flew up. He stood several feet high and looked down at Li Yu.
The biggest difference between the Qi Refining Stage and the Qi Induction Stage is that one can fly in the air while the other can only walk on his feet. As long as he stands on a high place, he will be invincible.
But the next moment, Li Yu's figure flashed and he flew into the air. Chen Ming's eyes widened and he said in shock: "You, you succeeded in gathering your Qi..."
Being able to fly in the air means he has undoubtedly entered the Qi Refining Stage.
After realizing this, he felt a blockage in his heart and said with infinite grief and anger: "You really deserve to die..."
As the person he hated the most, seeing Li Yu advance to the Qi Refining Stage was more painful than his own fall to the Qi Induction Stage. Chen Ming's heart was already in a mess. Facing Li Yu's pursuit, he could only defend himself hastily. After receiving several punches on the face and body, he could only say "You wait for me..." and flee in panic.
Li Yu did not chase him anymore. His magic power was almost exhausted. If he continued to chase him, he would most likely be outwitted.
Slowly landing from the air, Li Yu found that the expressions of everyone present were a little strange.
The two male disciples of Baiyun Temple were stunned, with shame on their faces. The other young woman blushed, her pretty face was rosy, and her beautiful eyes were shining...
Li Yu looked down and finally realized that he was so overwhelmed that he forgot that the gear was still in neutral.
Just now he was flying over several people's heads like this.
Fortunately, he was strong inside, and his face remained calm. He glared at Chen Ming's two followers and said unhappily, "What are you looking at? Get lost..."
The two turned around and ran away. The young woman glanced at Li Yu shyly, then turned around and flew away. Li Yu turned to look at Jiang Li and found that his face was also a little red.
He was about to speak when he suddenly felt a chill on his butt. The movement he had just made was too big, and the makeshift grass skirt around his waist was not strong enough. The rope broke and fell to the ground.
Li Yu bent down to pick up the grass skirt and tied it again, and found that Jiang Li had his eyes tightly closed.
He glanced at Jiang Li and said calmly: "What are you doing, kid? It's not like I haven't seen this before..."
Jiang Li snorted coldly and said, "I don't want to dirty my eyes."
After Li Yu had tied her grass skirt, Jiang Li moved his hands away, took off his outer robe and handed it to Li Yu, while he himself only wore an inner lining.
On the way back to Baiyun Temple, Jiang Li calmed down and said with a complicated expression: "You, you succeeded in gathering your Qi... "
Li Yu nodded and said, "It just worked."
Jiang Li's expression became more complicated. As his best friend, he was happy for Li Yu, but there was also a lingering melancholy in his heart.
In three months, they will have been in Baiyun Temple for two years. Li Yu has already successfully gathered his Qi. Even if he will not be selected as , there will be opportunities in the future. But he will have to leave here and go back to inherit the throne...
Li Yu seemed not to notice Jiang Li's emotions. While buttoning up his outer robe, he said casually, "Didn't they say that there are demons and monsters appearing recently? You left the Taoist temple, are you trying to save your life..."
Jiang Li held the Ganoderma lucidum in his hand and murmured, "Your birthday is coming soon. I want to collect more spiritual herbs. If I'm lucky enough to find one that's old enough, I can exchange it for a Qi Gathering Pill..."
He sighed and said, "It seems that it is not necessary now..."
Li Yu paused in his steps.
When he was an undercover agent in his previous life, although he had many brothers around him, they all smiled on the surface, but secretly planned how to kill each other, so as to replace each other's position and seize each other's resources. No one had ever treated him like this before...
Li Yu was silent for a moment, then opened the milky white jade bottle in his left hand and said, "Open your mouth..."
