The ancestor is incompetent!

Chapter 15 Mayfly of the Abyss
The wages of avarice is death.

When faced with big enough benefits, everyone will have greed in their heart.

Tian Xiong was the first to rush to agree, and Xu Qinglian also smiled and said, "Since both of you have agreed, I will definitely follow you.

Junior Brother Li, what about you?

Li Yuan felt his scalp tingling when he saw the three people looking at him. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Spiritual stones are indeed a huge fortune, but there is a saying in the mortal world: You have the life to earn money but not the life to spend it!
The lack of spiritual energy flow in the mountain could certainly deceive the elders who were momentarily careless.

But the entire Chouyun Mountain Protective Array was created by the Peak Master Qi Feng, who was at the peak of Qi training. If the elders personally command the array, and the nodes of the array are damaged, I’m afraid the elders will severely punish us!”

Hearing Li Yuan's words, Tian Xiong felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him. He felt cold all over and said, "Yes, even if we can hide it from the elders, the formation is built on the basis of earth energy, so it is impossible for it not to sense that the spirit vein has been dug away."

Feng Zi's face darkened, "It seems that Junior Brother Li is unwilling to join forces with us?"

"As a disciple of Qi Ling Sect, I naturally put the sect first!" Li Yuan had a firm expression as if he was standing in front of the temple to show his loyalty.

"I cannot do something that endangers the sect, I cannot go against my conscience, I cannot let down the teachings of my ancestors, the cultivation of the peak master and the elders!"

"You!" Xu Qinglian was furious when she heard this, "You are so stubborn. With your spiritual roots, you can only be a slave for the mountain gate for the rest of your life!"

"Haha, don't be impatient." Feng Zi said with a wicked smile: "Since Junior Brother Li is unwilling to obey, then we just need to make him obey!"

"Brother Feng! We are protected by a large formation here. If we take action, the elders will probably notice it! Do you want your cultivation to be destroyed?" Li Yuan said angrily.

"Take action? Haha, why should we take action?" Feng Zi sneered, "The medicine should be effective by now."

Upon hearing this, the three of them felt a chill rising in their bodies and began to feel dizzy. They were all frightened and wanted to make hand gestures and cast spells.

But when he pulled up the magic power in his body, he didn't move at all, and fell to the ground limply like an mortal.

When Feng Zi saw the three people fall to the ground, he couldn't help but smile wildly. He turned around and stroked Xu Qinglian's face, and the expression on his face began to change.

"Tsk tsk, Senior Sister Xu, wouldn't it be a waste if we don't enjoy your beauty?"

As he spoke, he began to take off their clothes in a daze. From this cave that was isolated and forbidden, blushing and heart-pounding sounds came.

Just when Feng Zi looked like he was about to reach ecstasy, the sleeping Li Yuan suddenly flipped his hands and clapped his hands. A yellow talisman was attached to his body, which instantly turned into a yellow light and sank into the ground.

"what?"

Feng Zi, who was standing by, was frightened by the noise and was stunned for a moment before he realized what was going on. After he came to his senses a little, he remembered the terrible consequences of this matter and was so scared that he lost all thoughts in an instant.

He quickly put on Xu Qinglian's clothes, then took out a small black and red bottle from the clothes, chanted a spell silently, and two long worms as thin as hair suddenly emerged from the bottle, floated into the ears of the two, and then drilled into their brains.

Feng Zi then breathed a sigh of relief, put on his clothes, and put the two people back on their seats, creating the illusion that everyone was drunk.

At the same time, he was thinking about how to get rid of Li Yuan who had run away. If Li Yuan agreed, he would naturally become the scapegoat after the incident. But now that the guy had run away, it would be troublesome.

But Feng Zi was suspicious. The Ningxian Powder he used was put into wine and water, which could suppress the soul and confuse the mind after drinking. Even a cultivator in the late stage would have difficulty in using his magic power. This kid was only in the middle stage like him, how could he wake up?

……

Underground, Li Yuan, who escaped using the earth escape talisman, came out from a hidden foot of a mountain, then opened his mouth and suddenly spit out a lot of wine.

Only after he had vomited everything out did he rinse his mouth with clean water several times before he felt relieved.

The three men were obviously long-time friends and knew each other very well. He was not so careless as to enter someone else's cave and eat and drink without any worries.

Even inside the mountain gate, you cannot be completely unguarded against anyone.

He practiced the Yuanshui Taoism, and even though the magic was difficult to learn, he was still able to do such simple things as controlling water in the body.

Li Yuanxian went all the way back to his cave, calmed down, and decided to keep the matter secret for the time being, waiting for a few days to see how Xu Qinglian and the other two would react.

After all, he had no leverage over the other party, and once the matter was reported to the elders, there would inevitably be many parties accusing each other, and it would be very likely that both parties would be detained, and then brought back to the sect for the elders to question and judge.

If by then he were to ask about his own Wanmu Realm, it would be a huge disaster.

Li Yuan sighed, thinking that he was still not strong enough. If he killed Feng Zi while escaping, he would definitely be severely punished. If he captured the other party alive, he was not sure.

Instead, it is better to wait and see how things develop.

Unexpectedly, after waiting in the cave for three or five days, nothing happened, as if this incident had never happened.

When it was Li Yuan's turn to patrol the mountain, he walked out of the cave and asked around to see if anything big had happened.

On this day, Li Yuan walked around half of the mountain range and inspected the area he was patrolling three times. After finding nothing unusual, he turned around and prepared to return to the cave.

But at this time, he saw Feng Zi and Tian Xiong walking side by side from afar.

Li Yuan was extremely cautious and looked at Feng Zi, but found that his face looked normal without any change.

"Oh, Junior Brother Li, you are so mean! Why did you run away alone after drinking that day? You got the three of us drunk, but you still walked back to the cave by yourself. Wow, you have a strong alcohol tolerance!"

Tian Xiong said with a smile, as if he was completely unaware that he was knocked unconscious by Feng Zi that day.

“Hahaha, Junior Brother Li is a cultivator of Yuan Shui, so these drinks are no different from plain water to him.

I didn't think carefully that day, and Junior Brother Li took advantage of me. I won't do that again next time!" Feng Zi seemed to be joking, but in fact he was threatening him.

Li Yuan understood instantly and pretended to be embarrassed, "I'm sorry to have made fun of you two brothers. I can't handle the alcohol, so I had to use this method. I hope you don't mind.

"

"It's okay, it's okay!" Tian Xiong said with a smile: "Next time we..."

As he was speaking, a strand of worm thread as thin as a hair suddenly appeared in Tian Xiong's eye sockets. His expression froze, and he even smiled strangely, "Junior Brother Li, come to my cave next time and let me treat you well!"

Li Yuan was slightly shocked. Is this a poisonous insect technique or a demonic technique?
"Brother Feng, I always like to be quiet and at ease, and I will never tell anyone. I just hope that everyone keeps to themselves and goes their own way."

Li Yuan bowed, showing his sincerity.

“Haha, Junior Brother Li really can’t be underestimated.” Feng Zi said coldly: “Everyone in the mountain gate knows that you, the lucky deacon disciple, have the weakest strength and poor talent, but no one expected you to be so scheming.

Are you pretending? Or do you have other intentions?"

"I just want to live a good life and don't want to offend anyone." Li Yuan said calmly, "I hope Senior Brother Feng will show mercy. I will never say a word!"

"Hmph, you'd better be serious." Feng Zi sneered, "Even if you go and tell the secret, I'm not afraid. If the core of the formation is not in the hands of the elders, based on the relationship between me and Elder Wang Xingyi, you will die without a burial place!" After that, he took Tian Xiong away.

Only Li Yuan was left standing there alone with a grim look on his face.

Regardless of whether what Feng Zi said was true or false, he could not risk telling the truth. If it was true, then he would have no chance of escaping from a late-stage cultivator.

After returning to the cave, Li Yuan opened the restriction and released the Yimu puppet to prevent anyone from having any ill intentions.

With a thought, a little crow appeared in front of him, flapping its wings.

He was still worrying about buying an expensive spirit beast bag, but he discovered that the Wanmu Realm could hold living things, which naturally saved him a lot of trouble.

After more than a month of growth, Chen Ming finally has more hair. He no longer looks bald, and can fly to a height of about half a meter.

As soon as the little crow came out, it flapped its little wings and approached him affectionately, rubbing its head against his palm.

It is better to fight with an unborn spiritual beast. Although its strength is a little weak at the beginning, at least it is close to you and there is no need to worry about backlash.

"You can live in this river cave from now on. This place is gloomy and gloomy, which is suitable for you."

Chen Ming cooed, folded his wings, and hopped around in the cracks of the rocks looking for insects to eat.

Li Yuan didn't care about him. He collected the spirit beast mainly to find a companion, otherwise it would be too boring to be alone for a long time.

I was so careful, but I still got into trouble. It was conceivable that the disciples who came to see him off would only have more troubles and delay their practice.

Li Yuan once again began to practice with great concentration. He even sat directly on the dark river. The water energy was rich all around him. The cold and gloomy air entered his body, making his mind clear and calm. The Yuan water was turning into blood and becoming spirit bit by bit.

There is no time in the mountains, and there is no year in the cold weather.

The disciples of Chouyun Mountain rotate every five years and can voluntarily choose to return to the mountain or stay.

After two rotations, Li Yuan did not return to the mountain gate, but stayed in Chouyun Mountain in obscurity to continue his meditation.

He seldom interacted with others. After each patrol, he would go to the base to explain the situation and then return to the cave to practice.

Five years ago, a major incident happened on the Sorrow Cloud Mountain. Xu Qinglian and Tian Xiong were reported by Feng Zi for digging for spiritual veins and mining spiritual stones. They were taken back to the mountain gate and thrown into the Death Cave. In less than a month, only bones of the two were left in the Death Cave.

This incident shocked the disciples of the mountain sect, and made the disciples, who were originally very lax, respect the rules of the mountain sect and dare not violate them.

Feng Zi also chose to return to the mountain during his rotation four years ago and did not care about him, as if he had really forgotten Li Yuan.

In the Qi Ling Sect, the once famous Ruan Jinghu condensed his immortal bones seven years ago and became a late-stage cultivator. He became an elder who was only in his sixties. He was regarded as a role model and admired by all the disciples in the mountain sect.

The news was spread to Chouyun Mountain by the disciples who returned to the mountain, and everyone talked about it with relish.

And no one remembers Li Yuan, who became the deacon's disciple because of good luck decades ago.

Only Li Yuan, the last disciple who always stands at the bottom of the ranking list under the Baique Tower inside the mountain gate, would occasionally be noticed by others.

Today, it was time to patrol the mountains again.

Li Yuan walked out of the cave. In the sky, a large bird that looked like an eagle or a crow was circling above his head. Its two broad wings spread out to be more than ten feet wide. It came whistling with strong wind and landed steadily on his shoulder.

Chen Ming is now very large in size. No one would doubt that it is an eagle. They just think that this eagle is a little strange.

Its sharp claws can easily tear apart a mortal's flesh, and even semi-magical weapons cannot withstand it.

Chen Ming can even spit out corpse poison mist from his mouth, which will kill any mortal who comes into contact with it. His feathers are bright black and dense, making him invulnerable to swords and guns.

His current strength is already that of an early-stage cultivator, and he can even use his wings to create strong winds, making him a pretty good helper.

Li Yuan raised his head and looked at the sky over Chouyun Mountain, which was darker than it was ten years ago. He thought of himself. This year, he was already fifty-one years old.

He is fifty-one years old and has been practicing asceticism for nearly forty years, living in seclusion. Apart from the boredom of practicing, the even more difficult thing is the loneliness.

Today, Li Yuan's temperament is no longer as gentle as jade, but people would think that he is an ordinary disciple.

Li Yuan still used the light body technique, stepping over green branches, feeling the warm breeze, and his mind became slightly calmer.

You won’t have to practice so hard in the future, just slowly settle down.

Because with the blessing of the dark river and the help of the spiritual power of the Lower Yuan Zhen Jue, he has transformed all the mortal blood in his body into spiritual blood, and only needs the last step.

Blood gathers at the orifices, attaches to the bones to give birth to life. The spiritual platform where the sun and the moon shine is the first, and the center of the stars is above.

Only when the skin and flesh are clean can they enter the body and transform into spirit. Only when the spirit blood flows can they lead the blood upward to rush to the bones.

From the early to middle stages, it is necessary to use the heart elixir to transform the heart blood first.

From the middle to the late stage, you need to use blood as the source to reshape the frontal bone and transform from a mortal into an immortal!

This process is no less dangerous than a mid-term heart blood transfusion.

Therefore, they all need the assistance of elixir, and this elixir is called Dinggu Shengxian Pill, which can stabilize the bones and prevent them from falling apart. It is a must-have elixir when breaking through the bottleneck in the later stage!

On the path of cultivation, every level you pass is a threshold of life and death.

Success means life, failure means death.

Therefore, many old disciples in the mountain gate do not choose to strive for the late stage even if they have reached perfection in the middle stage, because most of them have wasted too much time, are old and weak, and their qi and blood are weak, making it almost impossible for them to succeed.

Li Yuan was thinking in his mind that he would return to the mountain gate for a rest period next month, so he had to take the risk and go to the market.

Over the years, Li Yuan has never left Chouyun Mountain, for fear of encountering an ambush.

His monthly salary had been accumulated for more than ten years but no one came to claim it. The elders of Lingfeng once sent someone to urge him to collect his salary in time.

The word "rest and rest" is a joke given by the disciples of Chouyun Mountain. They take turns every five years and can only return to the mountain once a year. Doesn't it mean resting for a month every time they return to the mountain?
A few days later, the flying boat back to the mountain arrived on time.

Li Yuan boarded the flying boat back to the mountain gate. Standing on the boat, there were some young disciples beside him. Those who knew each other talked to each other, while some of the more lonelier ones stayed alone in a corner like him.

Looking at the towering mountains below him, Li Yuan's heart was full of expectations. He was in the late stage of Qi Refining and the Bone Condensation Realm, and he was also the elder of the mountain gate!
He was like a mayfly in the abyss, about to see the dawn.
