Chapter 74 It’s me!
Kunlun Cave.
Ever since Li Yu brought the Illusion Trial back into fashion, Tongtian Peak had been flooded with people. It was not until half a month later that things gradually returned to their previous state.
Under Li Yu's guidance, most of the disciples who participated in the trial had greatly improved compared to their previous selves. However, despite the improvements, none of them made it onto the trial list except Li Yu.
After all, the illusion trial has existed for thousands of years, and during these thousands of years, there have been too many geniuses in the sects.
They had already raised their performance in the illusion trial to the extreme. Without the strength of the Four Spiritual Veins, it would be difficult to get on the trial list. And looking at Kunlun, there have only been a few hundred prodigies with the Four Spiritual Veins in the past thousand years...
Among this generation of young Kunlun disciples, the only one who cultivates the four spiritual veins is Junior Sister Zheng from Cuiwei Peak. She follows the path of alchemy, not magic, and her cultivation has not yet reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.
How Li Yu could enter the top ten of the trial list with such strength remains a mystery.
Tongtian Peak, Trial Hall.
A figure with his face covered flashed out from the illusion space.
In the new January, Li Yu, who had just exchanged three Tongmai Pills, came here again.
Compared to last time, his strength has improved slightly.
He thought that he could improve his ranking by one or two places and easily get ten or twenty Tongmai Pills as rewards, but Li Yu tried several times. Even though he paid great attention to details and improved his results a lot, his ranking on the trial list remained unchanged.
The gap between the tenth and ninth place on the Trial List was much larger than he had imagined.
Li Yu once heard from Wu Tong that, except for Lu Xingzhou, the top ten on the trial list were all practitioners of the Five Spirit Veins. Like Li Yu, they were able to perfectly restrain every monster and their magic power was much stronger than his. With absolute strength, it was not something that Li Yu could catch up with by just skills.
"Wang Shiyuan..."
Li Yu looked at the name in front of him, and didn't know which senior in the sect the other person was, or whether he was still alive. At present, with his strength, he couldn't break his record.
When he came outside the hall, Li Yu saw the huge stone tablet standing in the square.
The trial monument will change with the changes in the top ten. After Li Yu squeezed out Lu Xingzhou, the tenth name on the trial monument was immediately replaced by his. From then on, the top ten on the trial list were all practitioners of the Five Spiritual Veins, without exception.
The disciples passing by the stone tablet looked at the names on it with respect on their faces.
Li Yu left Tongtian Peak and planned to collect alchemy materials for the new month, when his expression suddenly changed.
He turned back to Ziyun Peak and flew towards the mountain gate with Ling'er. Along the way, Kunlun disciples greeted him.
After getting a spirit pet, Li Yu had a sufficient reason to go out of the mountain. Although Kunlun Cave Heaven was rich in spiritual energy, it was too stuffy. Some disciples who raised spirit pets would take their spirit pets out for a walk every once in a while.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of walking the tiger, Li Yu can contact the witch.
He brought Ling'er and landed in a mountain dozens of miles away from the gate of Kunlun Mountain. After making sure that there was no one around, he took out the spirit shell and input magic power.
Soon, the demon girl's voice came from the Lingbei: "You don't have to be so careful every time. Even if you are in Kunlun Cave Heaven, we can communicate with Lingbei and no one will know."
Li Yu said: "It's not easy to get to this point today, so we should be careful in everything to avoid wasting all our efforts."
Li Yu was obviously much more professional than her when it came to being an undercover agent. Nangong Chan didn't say anything else and asked, "Any news about Qin Keren recently?"
Li Yu said: "Senior Sister Qin has been practicing in the sect and has never shown up."
Nangong Chan snorted lightly and said disdainfully: "A boring woman who only knows how to practice..."
Li Yu did not continue this topic.
Having lived two lives, Li Yu was a proud person who would not easily submit to others. However, he admired Senior Sister Qin, whom he had never met. She had topped the Trial Ranking before she was fifteen, and had formed a golden elixir before she was eighteen. He had no choice but to submit...
After slandering Qin Keren, Nangong Chan asked Li Yu, "Has anything major happened in your Kunlun sect recently?"
Li Yu thought about it carefully and said, "No."
Nangong Chan was silent for a few breaths, and asked in a bad tone: "Li Yu, do you have second thoughts about me?"
Li Yu was stunned for a moment, then said: "I am sincere to you, the sun and the moon can testify to this. Why do you say this?"
Nangong Chan said coldly: "I heard in the North that a Qi Refining Stage disciple of Kunlun Sect broke into the top ten of the Illusion Trial Ranking and caused quite a stir in Kunlun Sect. Can you tell me that nothing major has happened in Kunlun Sect recently?"
When she said this, the voice of the witch in the spirit shell already had a chill in it.
Li Yu was silent for a long time, then asked, "Is this a big deal?"
The demon girl said coldly, "This is not a big deal. What is a big deal? Don't tell me that as a disciple of Kunlun, you don't know what the top ten of the illusion trial represents. In the past thousand years, how many geniuses of Kunlun Sect couldn't even make it to the trial list? Those who can enter the top ten of the trial list are all geniuses that are rare in hundreds of years."
Li Yu felt a little embarrassed and said, "That person is really not a genius. His talent is very average. He just works harder than others..."
The demon girl sneered and said, "Do you really think of yourself as a disciple of Kunlun? Are you still trying to hide the genius of Kunlun Sect?"
Li Yu sighed and said helplessly: "To be honest, the genius that the young lady is talking about... is me."
“…”
Ling Bei was silent for a long time, and then the demon girl asked in an extremely suspicious tone: "Are you saying that the person who broke into the top ten of the trial list was you?"
"it's me."
"What is your current level?"
"Almost at the eighteenth level of Qi Refining..."
The demon girl was silent for a moment, then asked, "Eighteenth level of Qi Refining, tenth on the Trial Ranking, do you think I'm easy to fool, or do you think that all those geniuses in Kunlun Sect's history who reached the twenty or thirty levels of Qi Refining are trash?"
Li Yu said: "If you don't believe it, you can investigate it yourself."
…
In the Far North, in a palace shrouded in dark fog, a barefoot woman sat cross-legged on a huge throne and said to a young girl serving in front of her: "Go, find the deacon who is responsible for the intelligence of the Kunlun Sect."
"Yes, Saint."
The girl bowed and responded, her figure slowly disappearing into the dark mist.
A quarter of an hour later, the dark fog rolled up, and an old man hurried into the hall, knelt on the ground, and shouted: "Greetings to the Saint!"
Nangong Chan looked at him and asked, "I heard from the disciples of the sect that Kunlun sent a genius who made it into the top ten of the illusion trial. Is this true?"
The old man said respectfully: "Saint, it is true."
Nangong Chan asked again: "What's the name of that Kunlun Sect's genius?"
The old man was obviously very familiar with Kunlun Sect's affairs and immediately said, "Li Yu."
On the throne, the woman stood there in a daze.
Since the Saint was asking about this, the Xuanyin Sect deacon should tell her everything he knew. Without waiting for the Saint to ask again, he took the initiative to say, "Saint, Li Yu has been in Kunlun for less than a year, but he has already done a lot of great things. In the last Kunlun Alchemy Apprentice Competition, he refined ten top-grade elixirs in one furnace and won the championship. Some time ago, he also killed Zhao Long, a disciple of the Puppet Sect. More than half a month ago, he participated in the Kunlun Sect's illusion trial and was ranked 93rd on the trial list for the first time. After that, he rushed into the top ten like a broken bamboo, causing a great sensation in the Kunlun Sect..."
After talking about Li Yu's deeds, he continued, "According to the news sent back by our spies in Kunlun Sect, Li Yu is a kind person with a broad mind and is generous and friendly. He is very popular among the low-level disciples of Kunlun Sect. His only shortcoming is that he is lustful. It is said that he flirted with female disciples in front of thousands of people during the Dan Dao Competition. He has unclear relationships with many female geniuses of Kunlun Sect. He has some friendship with Bai Qingying, one of the four beauties of Emei. The three Zhao sisters of Emei Sect once stayed in his residence for a long time..."
Nangong Chan has realized that he had wronged Li Yu and is filled with remorse.
She waved to the old man below and said, "You can go down."
After the old man left, she couldn't wait to pick up the spirit shell and said, "I'm sorry, I wronged you just now..."
Li Yu sighed and said, "I am sincere to the girl, but she actually doubts me. I am really disappointed. If there is not even this little trust between the girl and me, why don't we contact each other in the future? Just pretend that you have never met me..."
Nangong Chan rubbed his brows helplessly and said, "I was wrong. I will never doubt you again. Please forgive me this time. When you come back to me, I will give you a few beauties to be your dual cultivation partners..."
