Chapter 57: Possessed

In the valley.

Li Yu caught some pheasants and wild rabbits for the little white tiger. When grilling them, he brushed them with the special sauce he bought from the secular world. As the mountain breeze blew, the whole valley was filled with an enticing aroma .

The little white tiger, who was always greedy, did not eat voraciously this time. Instead, he picked up a roasted pheasant and a hare and placed them on a small mound in the valley.

Looking at the small mound that had not been there before, Li Yu seemed to understand something.

Its mother must have left.

Last time, Li Yu discovered that the tiger was almost at the end of its life.

Li Yu squatted down and gently stroked its head.

After spending the whole day with the little white tiger, when it got dark, Li Yu asked the little white tiger to wait for him in the valley, and he returned to Baiyun Temple.

Today is New Year's Eve. The secular villages and cities have already been decorated with lights and are bustling with activity. The atmosphere of the New Year is everywhere. In Baiyun Temple, everything is still the same as usual.

The two years of hard training here is related to whether they can embark on the path to immortality. Everyone has put all their efforts into training and will not go back during the holidays.

After running outside with the little white tiger for a whole day, it was already late at night when Li Yu returned to Baiyun Temple.

In the entire Baiyun Temple, only a few rooms still had lights on.

Li Yu came to Elder Sun's courtyard, where candles were still flickering in the room.

As soon as Li Yu walked in, a voice rang out from inside the room: "Li Yu is back, come in."

Although he did not succeed in forming a pill, Elder Sun's strength was indeed at the peak of the foundation building stage. He was much stronger than Li Yu's old friends at Ziyun Peak, and his spiritual power was far beyond that of ordinary foundation building practitioners.

Li Yu pushed open the door and saw Elder Sun still lying on the rocking chair in the middle of the room.

After not seeing him for two months, he looked older than the last time Li Yu saw him. His face no longer had the previous kindness. Instead, he looked like a terrifying skeleton, which even made Li Yu feel a sense of inexplicable chill.

Cultivators in the foundation-building stage have a certain ability to maintain their youth. If they take some anti-aging pills regularly, they can even live to be over 200 years old and still look like middle-aged people. However, in the last few years of their lives, they will age quickly due to the extreme decay of their bodies, and spells and anti-aging pills will not be able to maintain their youth.

Elder Sun was lying on a rocking chair, his eyes closed, and he said in a vague voice: "If I remember correctly, today is New Year's Eve. I didn't expect that you would come to see me on the last New Year's Eve..."

Li Yu said: "My parents passed away a long time ago. Elder Sun has been very kind to me. Baiyun Temple is also like my home."

Elder Sun opened his eyes. His eye sockets were sunken and it seemed that only two eyeballs were left in the dark holes.

Looking at Li Yu, his cloudy eyes moved, and he suddenly said: "It seems that in the past two months, you have had another adventure in the sect. All five spiritual veins have been opened, and you have cultivated to the third level of Qi Refining. You will soon be able to cultivate to the fourth level. The core disciples of the sect are not as fast as you in cultivation..."

Li Yu clasped his fists and said, "Thanks to Elder Sun's spiritual coins and more than 30 Tongmai Pills, I can almost upgrade all five spiritual veins by one level. In addition, Jiang Li helped me a lot, so I have the current level of cultivation..."

"It's not just because of those spirit coins and Jiang Li. I also heard that you won the first place in the first alchemy apprentice competition and even entered the heavenly realm that even fourth-grade alchemists dream of..."

Elder Sun's voice made Li Yu feel a little uncomfortable. He paused and said, "This is because I am lucky. After all, I have opened up five spiritual veins, which gives me a great advantage in alchemy. I also happened to enter the realm of heaven and man. In fact, many of my brothers and sisters are better than me in alchemy..."

Elder Sun was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Li Yu, do you have a secret?"

Li Yu's heart tightened, but a puzzled look appeared on his face. He asked, "Mr. Sun, what did you say?"

Elder Sun sat up from the rocking chair and said slowly, "I have been watching you practice. I know your talent better than anyone else. But since you gathered your Qi, I can no longer see you clearly. It's like you have suddenly become a different person. You have encountered many adventures one after another. Even in Kunlun, you can stand out so quickly and even be promoted to a first-grade alchemist. You must have some secrets that you are hiding from me..."

Today, Elder Sun made Li Yu feel something was wrong.

He was already alert.

Elder Sun's shadow became a little hazy under the flickering candlelight. He continued, "Your story about taking the Vermilion Fruit to open up your acupuncture points must be fake. The Vermilion Fruit that can open up your spiritual meridians is enough to burst you. There must be some other reason..."

Li Yu's eyes narrowed slightly. It was true that the red fruit opened up the acupuncture points, but he had intentionally concealed the matter of the alchemy furnace. He did not expect that Elder Sun had already discovered the clues but had never exposed it.

Li Yu did not speak. Elder Sun continued to talk to himself, "I am about to die. I have no interest in your secret. After all, everyone in the world of immortal cultivation has secrets. However, what happened to you in Kunlun later made me realize that your secret is probably not a small secret..."

Li Yu remained silent.

In this world, the person who knows him best is probably Elder Sun.

In Kunlun, everything about him seemed so logical in the context of Jiang Li, and would not arouse too much suspicion, but Elder Sun had been watching him when he was at his weakest, and could feel his changes the most...

While Li Yu was silent, Elder Sun continued to talk to himself: "I have practiced for more than 200 years in my life, and I am almost, almost, just a little bit away from stepping onto the golden elixir path. I am unwilling to accept this, I am unwilling to accept this..."

Elder Sun looked at Li Yu and suddenly pleaded, "Li Yu, since I've been good to you, please help me. I'm unwilling to die like this..."

To be fair, Elder Sun was good to him and gave him a lot of help on the road of cultivation. If he could help him, Li Yu would definitely not hesitate, even if it cost a certain price.

Li Yu has a secret, but unfortunately, this secret cannot help him form the elixir.

Li Yu sighed and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Sun, I can't help you with my secret."

Elder Sun looked at Li Yu, his expression showing reluctance and pity, but also a hint of madness.

In a very short time, his madness was replaced by extreme insanity. His eyes seemed to have turned into dancing flames, and a hoarse voice came out of his throat, "Forget it, even if I ask you, I'm afraid you won't tell the whole truth. It's better for me to search your soul myself. Li Yu, I have helped you so much, now it's time for you to repay me..."

Just when Elder Sun's expression turned crazy, Li Yu's consciousness locked onto the Purple Thunder Talisman in the space ring, and a whole bottle of Qi Recovery Pills was also ready.

Soul searching is a very vicious secret technique in the world of immortal cultivation. The soul searcher can obtain all the memories of the person whose soul is searched.

But after searching the soul, the person whose soul is searched will either become stupid or die suddenly. Unless it is a person who has committed a heinous crime, this secret technique is absolutely forbidden in the righteous way.

Li Yu took a half step back, looked at the crazy Elder Sun, and said in a deep voice: "Elder Sun, don't be like this, you are possessed by a demon ..."

Not everyone is Senior Sister Zhou. The cultivators’ obsession with immortality may cause them to form obsessions. Once these obsessions are destroyed, they are extremely easy to be invaded by their inner demons. Although they are called inner demons, they are actually their evil thoughts.

When their energy is really running out, they will grab any straw that may save their lives.

"Possessed by a demon?"

Elder Sun laughed loudly, almost madly, and said sternly: "If you can form a pill, it doesn't matter if you become a demon. In order to form a pill, I can only let you down!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yu was locked by a powerful force and could hardly escape.

Elder Sun walked towards Li Yu step by step with red eyes.

Li Yu had never seen Elder Sun like this.

The pressure from the foundation-building stage was overwhelming. This was probably the biggest crisis he had faced since he traveled through time.

Even if Elder Sun had done him a favor, Li Yu would not give his life to him if he wanted it.

Li Yu had already prepared that talisman.

Just when Li Yu was about to use the third-level Purple Thunder Talisman and make a desperate attempt...

The next moment, Elder Sun suddenly stopped.

His eyes looked behind Li Yu.

At the same time, Li Yu also realized that the tremendous pressure on his body suddenly disappeared.

Under the flickering candlelight, a shadow suddenly appeared in this small room.

An indifferent voice came from behind Li Yu.
