Chapter 43: Casting the Pill into a Furnace
After thinking for a moment, Li Wu told Qi Yu that he had killed a reincarnation of Maha.
Qi Yu was immediately shocked. "Brother Li, you killed the reincarnation of Maha?"
"That's right. The Divine Thunder technique you cultivate is inherently effective against those Maha beings, and most of the Purple Mansion True People will try to scheme against you."
"However, since you killed the reincarnation of Maha, you will probably be targeted by this group of Buddhist monks in the future."
Li Wu, however, was not too worried about this, and shook his head, saying:
"It's alright, those Purple Mansion True Persons won't let my life be taken away by the Buddhist cultivators so easily."
"That's true." Qi Yu nodded.
Just as the two were chatting enthusiastically, a noise came from inside the house.
Ning Que has woken up.
Li Wu and Qi Yu exchanged a glance, then got up and went inside together.
Then they saw Ning Que leaning against the bed with a dejected look on his face, his eyes drooping, and he had lost all his vitality.
Li Wu walked slowly to him and gently comforted him:
"Ning Que, pull yourself together."
Ning Que, blind, murmured:
"Brother Li, it's all my fault for harming my sister. It's all my fault for not seeing through the true colors of those powerful families..."
Looking at Ning Que, who was like a cripple, Li Wu felt a pang of pity and said in a deep voice:
"Ning Que, if I were you, I wouldn't give up on myself here, but would instead work hard to cultivate and avenge Ning Miao."
"So what if you're from the Qi family? So what if you're a True Person of the Purple Mansion? If you can't repay the debt in ten years, then it will take a hundred."
"As long as the Qi family still exists and that Purple Mansion True Man is not dead, you will have a day when you can avenge yourself."
These words seemed to give Ning Que his last glimmer of hope. He looked up at Li Wu and hesitated before saying:
"Can...can I keep this for my sister...?"
Could a Qi Refining cultivator who practices the "Mountain Purification Qi Technique" and who has almost no hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage really seek revenge against a Purple Mansion Immortal Clan?
"Yes, it's possible," Li Wu affirmed.
"As long as you don't give up on yourself and keep practicing, you'll be able to do it someday."
…………
Searching for Lufeng.
Inside the cave.
Qi Shao gazed at his exceptionally talented disciple before him and silently spoke:
"Ning Miao, I have spent so much effort to nurture you, today is the day you repay your master."
Dressed in snow-white robes and holding a slender white sword, Ning Miao smiled calmly as she looked at her master, whom she had only met twice.
"Why must you be so high and mighty, sir? I only regret that I didn't see through your scheme sooner."
As a True Person of the Purple Mansion, Qi Shaoning naturally wouldn't be swayed by Ning Miao's few words. He said calmly:
You have no choice.
"What if I don't want to?"
Ning Miao's eyebrows were sharp and her aura was unmistakable. She cultivated the "Cold Reed Dwelling Scripture" and her immortal foundation was named "Duck Goose Reed".
As she revealed her immortal foundation for the first time without reservation, her true essence was as blue as frost, and the surrounding space instantly became cold.
As he watched these scenes unfold, Qi Shaoning's expression finally changed, a hint of greedy desire lurking in his pupils.
"My disciple, my dear disciple, now go into the furnace."
He paused here, his expression suddenly changing:
"If you don't want to, then your brother..."
Ning Miao's true essence faltered, dissipating all his magical power. He turned to face the blazing furnace and said in a deep voice:
"Master, I hope you can keep your promise."
"That's only natural."
Seeing that Qi Shaoning agreed, Ning Miao resolved her inner conflict and leaped into the alchemy furnace.
"Fellow Daoist, it's your turn to make a move," Qi Shaoning said softly.
The person hiding in the shadows then used their supernatural powers to refine the immortal foundation [Duck Goose Reed] into a pill little by little, adding various auxiliary materials from time to time.
Qi Shaoning stared at him, mesmerized.
…………
More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
The trade fair at Sanlukou Fangshi has begun.
Li Wuping easily entered the trade fair thanks to his late-stage Qi Refining cultivation.
He found a corner, picked up his teacup, and slowly sipped his tea, his gaze sweeping over everyone in the trade fair.
Unlike auctions, trade fairs do not have fixed seating.
Everyone took out their own spiritual items, and they could exchange them as long as both parties found them agreeable.
Therefore, rare spiritual items often appear at trade fairs.
However, Li Wu's main target this time was the people from the Beast Taming Sect.
"They're here."
He waited for a long time before finally seeing several cultivators dressed in animal robes enter the trade fair.
Each of them was accompanied by a demonic beast, attracting everyone's attention as soon as they entered.
"Are they disciples of the Beast Taming Sect?"
"The Beast Taming Sect... can tame demonic beasts, which is truly enviable."
People were discussing it animatedly.
After all, taming beasts is really cool, especially flying beasts, which are even more useful than flying shuttles.
Upon seeing the target appear, Li Wu immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said:
"Fellow Daoists, I have a fine item here. Would you mind taking a look?"
The people who were stopped looked up and saw that Li Wu was quite strong, so they nodded slightly and said:
"Fellow Daoist, please feel free to show us any treasures you possess."
Li Wu then took out the jade box and displayed the gold-devouring insect inside to everyone.
The young man leading the Beast Taming Sect scrutinized the man for a long time, then shook his head and said:
"I am ignorant and have never seen this insect or beast before. I hope you can tell me more about it."
Li Wu smiled faintly, then explained:
"This is a gold-devouring worm, which increases its strength by consuming spirit ore, and also has the ability to find mineral veins."
"This insect beast actually has such abilities." The young man was somewhat surprised.
The ability to find mineral veins is something that the Beast Taming Sect naturally craves.
"Fellow Daoist, where did you obtain this insect?"
Another female cultivator from the Beast Taming Sect couldn't help but move closer.
Li Wu smiled but did not answer, and said casually:
"What I gained by chance is nothing to boast about; are you all happy about it?"
"Of course I'm delighted, but I wonder if any of you fellow Daoists would find something you like about these things."
Several disciples from the Beast Taming Sect took out the spiritual items they had brought with them on this trip.
Scales, fur, and other materials are almost all found on demonic beasts.
Li Wu naturally looked down on it.
The young cultivator also noticed that Li Wu was unmoved, so he took the initiative to speak:
"Why don't you visit my Beast Taming Sect, fellow Daoist?"
"Then I will respectfully comply."
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Li Wu smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.
"Then let's meet again after the trade fair."
Then they all dispersed.
Li Wu also started strolling around. It has to be said that this trade fair was indeed a rare and grand event.
This place not only has cultivators from Guang'an County, but also many cultivators from other places who have come from afar.
As a result, there were all sorts of magical items at the trade fair, many of which Li Wu had never seen before.
He slowly walked up to a talisman cultivator, looked at his talismans, and asked:
"Fellow Daoist, what is the purpose of these talismans?"
When the talisman cultivator saw someone coming to inquire, he answered eagerly:
"This is the [Fate Concealment Talisman], a special talisman that, once used, can block the detection of various fate spells for the duration of an incense stick burning."
Can it block the detection of fate magic?
Li Wunian had a sudden thought: This is a good thing.
