Witch, don't do anything reckless!

Chapter 100 Do you still need apprentices?

On the rooftop, Ye Qingwu gazed into the distance, a look of doubt on his face.

After a while, she withdrew her gaze and looked towards the small courtyard next door. With a flicker, she reappeared in the courtyard.

At this moment, Li Chuqiu, who had just witnessed this scene, was also stunned.

"Senior, what's wrong with you—?"

"There's a monster!"

Ye Qingwu's voice was slightly cold, carrying an indescribable air of dominance.

monster?

Li Chuqiu's heart skipped a beat.

Where did this monster come from?

Could it be—that demoness?!

Could it be that she didn't leave the whole time, but was hiding in the shadows secretly observing?

—This really does sound like something that demoness Chu would do.

With this thought in mind, a look of astonishment appeared on Li Chuqiu's face: "A demon?"

"There's a demon here? Senior, have you discovered what kind of demon it is?"

Ye Qingwu shook his head: "That monster was extremely vigilant, as if it had been prepared. I had barely noticed it when it had already fled."

"But why did that monster appear here?"

Ye Qingwu looked suspicious. She stared at Li Chuqiu for a couple of seconds, then suddenly seemed to sense something and took a step closer to Li Chuqiu. She sniffed lightly, and then her eyes changed: "Why is there a trace of demonic aura on you?!"

Ye Qingwu's words sent chills down Li Chuqiu's spine instantly—no, her nose was that sensitive?

How could you detect the aura of the demoness Chu on him?

Feeling chilled under Ye Qingwu's cold, scrutinizing gaze, Li Chuqiu's face showed no sign of unease. Instead, she seemed surprised and asked, "Ah?"

"I have the aura of a demon on me?!"

"What's going on? Senior, could I... have been targeted by a demon?"

Li Chuqiu's acting was so superb, so perfect, that Ye Qingwu couldn't detect any flaws. She stared at Li Chuqiu suspiciously, then moved a little closer, and indeed smelled a trace of demonic aura on the boy.

As if realizing something, she suddenly looked up, her gaze falling on the room behind Li Chuqiu. Then, she quickly walked towards the room.

"senior?!"

Li Chuqiu's eyelids twitched suddenly.

Chu the demoness was in his room just now, I hope she didn't find out anything.

Judging from this senior's expression, he seems to be extremely sensitive to demons?

At this moment, Ye Qingwu had already entered Li Chuqiu's room.

She looked around, her sharp gaze sweeping over every corner. Wherever she went, it was as if a surge of spiritual energy swept over her.

Finally, she looked away.

She turned to look at the doorway and met Li Chuqiu's gaze.

"Senior, what did you discover?"

Ye Qingwu's sharp gaze swept over Li Chuqiu, as if trying to see right through him.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have already given themselves away under her piercing gaze.

After a long pause, Ye Qingwu withdrew his gaze and asked in a deep voice, "Have you offended some kind of demon recently?"

"Have you offended a demon?"

Li Chuqiu was taken aback, as if realizing something: "As the Chief Envoy of the Tianxuan Division, I often deal with demons. Offending demons or being resented by them is a common occurrence."

The duty of the Tianxuan Division is to slay demons and monsters, so it is only natural that they have a grudge against the demon race.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingwu nodded slightly.

She didn't immediately suspect that Li Chuqiu was colluding with demons, after all, Li Chuqiu was a member of the Tianxuan Division, and this boy was acquainted with "that woman" in the human world.

Therefore, subconsciously, Ye Qingwu did not believe that Li Chuqiu was a scoundrel who colluded with the demon race!

They sensed the aura of a demon on Li Chuqiu, and there was also a lingering aura of a demon in the room. This, combined with the traces of the demon hiding in the shadows that they had just discovered, led them to suspect that the demon was hiding in the shadows.

Ye Qingwu naturally understood that this boy was being targeted by a demon, or that the demon wanted to take revenge on him.

"You need to be careful."

Ye Qingwu said in a deep voice, "Since there are demons in your room and demons are secretly watching you, it may be detrimental to you."

No one knew better than Li Chuqiu what was going on with this monster, but he still nodded honestly: "Thank you for your guidance, senior."

Ye Qingwu glanced at Li Chuqiu, hesitated for a moment, and then waved his hand lightly.

Immediately, a yellowish-brown talisman appeared in front of Li Chuqiu.

"Since you are the Chief Envoy of the Heavenly Profound Division, I will lend you a hand. Keep this talisman. If you encounter a powerful demon and your life hangs by a thread, you can activate this talisman, which may save your life."

Li Chuqiu's eyes suddenly lit up.

A talisman that can save your life?

The talismans given by powerful beings in the three realms must be extraordinary.

Having this talisman is like having an extra life.

Li Chuqiu carefully put away the talisman: "Thank you very much, senior. I have no way to repay such a kindness—"

Before Li Chuqiu could finish expressing her sincere gratitude, Ye Qingwu waved his hand to interrupt: "No need. Since you are the Chief Envoy of the Heavenly Profound Division and have a connection with me, this talisman is what you deserve."

Li Chuqiu had no idea what this had to do with him being the Chief Envoy of the Heavenly Profound Division. Could it be that this senior was so righteous and hated the demon race that he greatly admired Li Chuqiu's prowess in slaying demons and eliminating evil?

"Senior, do you also feel extreme indignation and hatred towards those demonic creatures of the demon race?"

Ye Qingwu's eyes turned slightly cold, his entire being radiating an aura of righteous indignation: "The demon race has ravaged the people, their crimes are heinous, and they deserve to be punished by everyone!"

Guess it right!

This senior truly harbors deep hatred for the demon race.

Fortunately, that demoness Chu ran fast; otherwise, if she had been left behind, she would probably have been sent to her grave by this senior on the spot.

"Oh, right!"

Ye Qingwu then remembered something: "You said earlier that you had something to ask me. What is it?"

When the serious matter was brought up, Li Chuqiu's expression changed.

His gaze became extremely sincere, and he bowed to Ye Qingwu before him, saying, "This junior does indeed have a question that I would like to ask senior to answer—"

"This junior has practiced martial arts since childhood and possesses spiritual roots, enabling me to connect with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, for some reason, I have been unable to open my sea of ​​consciousness—"

Not long ago, I heard someone mention that there are people in this world whose sea of ​​consciousness has been sealed after birth —

"However, those who can accomplish this are all highly capable. Therefore, I would like to ask for your guidance, senior, and hope that you can enlighten me."

Facing this senior expert, Li Chuqiu did not hide anything and told him the whole story.

The powerful figure before him is the key to whether he can embark on the path of cultivation!

"Sealing the sea of ​​consciousness?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingwu's gaze sharpened, as if she were somewhat surprised, and she looked him up and down.

"Your consciousness has been sealed?!"

Li Chuqiu shook his head: "This junior does not know, I have only heard of it. But this junior has been unable to open his sea of ​​consciousness for a long time, so he suspects that it may be sealed, and has come to ask senior—"

Ye Qingwu seemed lost in thought, pondering something. After a long while, she pulled herself out of her reverie and withdrew her gaze from Li Chuqiu.

"Then extend your hand."

Li Chuqiu stretched out his arm and rolled up his sleeves.

Ye Qingwu stepped forward, stretched out her delicate hand, and gently placed it on Li Chuqiu's arm.

The next instant, a cool and powerful aura surged into Li Chuqiu's body, rampaging and spreading rapidly.

Before long, Ye Qingwu seemed to realize something, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face, accompanied by a hint of doubt.

"You—"

"His meridians are unobstructed, and his spiritual roots are extraordinary; he is a genius in cultivation—"

"strangeness----"

Ye Qingwu keenly sensed that this child's eight extraordinary meridians were already unblocked, and his spiritual root was extraordinary. If he could cultivate normally, he would probably have already entered the middle three realms.

Such spiritual talent is probably no less than that of Xu'er.

Over the years, Ye Qingwu had only seen one person whose spiritual root talent could be compared to this boy's—her senior brother.

As if remembering something, a hint of sadness appeared in Ye Qingwu's eyes.

Before long, Ye Qingwu quickly noticed something was wrong again.

The wisp of insightful spiritual power she injected into Li Chuqiu's body seemed to be silently swallowed up and disappeared after circulating through Li Chuqiu's body.

Ye Qingwu looked surprised and suspicious.

What's going on?

Her spiritual power was absorbed by this boy's body?

Ye Qingwu frowned slightly and injected an even more powerful spiritual energy into Li Chuqiu's body.

However, when this wisp of spiritual energy passed through Li Chuqiu's body, Ye Qingwu quickly discovered an anomaly—this girl's eight extraordinary meridians were silently absorbing her spiritual energy.

After circulating for a while, that wisp of spiritual energy was almost gone.

If one does not examine it carefully, one might even mistake it for the natural dissipation of spiritual energy.

this----

Ye Qingwu looked horrified.

What kind of constitution does this person have?

The Eight Extraordinary Meridians can actually absorb the spiritual power of others?

Moreover, after this spiritual energy was absorbed by the boy's eight extraordinary meridians, the boy's aura became even stronger.

This, so simple and brutal—absorbing the spiritual power of others for one's own use—is it really not a demon?

Only now did Ye Qingwu finally notice that this boy's physique seemed to far surpass that of ordinary people.

Even without a trace of spiritual power, this boy's aura was terrifyingly strong.

This made Ye Qingwu even more astonished.

"What kind of cultivation method do you usually practice?"

Ye Qingwu stared at Li Chuqiu with a serious expression.

Li Chuqiu spoke up: "It's an unnamed body-tempering cultivation method left behind by my father—Senior, is this related to my inability to open my sea of ​​consciousness?"

Ye Qingwu's gaze sharpened: "May I take a look at the cultivation technique?"

"Of course, no problem."

Li Chuqiu walked to the corner of the room, took out a package from a hidden cabinet, took out a yellowed book from it, and handed it to Ye Qingwu.

As soon as Ye Qingwu took it, he felt a heavy weight coming from the yellowed, nameless book.

—This manual seems to have a somewhat historical feel to it!

Ye Qingwu opened the mental cultivation manual, scanned its contents, and frowned even more deeply.

This cultivation manual is rather strange!

It may seem like an ordinary body tempering technique, but both the incantation and the body tempering methods are quite different from those of the major sects on the market.

But when asked to pinpoint exactly what was different, Ye Qingwu couldn't quite put her finger on it.

It feels really weird!

Especially when she silently recited it in her mind, she felt that the mantra was unconsciously circulating in her mind.

At the same time, the aura around my body seemed to heat up for a moment.

Ye Qingwu's eyes changed slightly, and he suddenly stopped thinking. Only then did the energy in his body gradually calm down.

But her eyes changed; there was something strange about this body tempering technique!

After a long silence, Ye Qingwu raised his head again and looked at Li Chuqiu: "Who is your father? And where did this cultivation manual come from?"

"My father passed away long ago, leaving behind only this body tempering manual. As for its origin, I don't know." Li Chuqiu shook his head.

Ye Qingwu remained silent, looking down at the body tempering manual. After a long while, he returned it to Li Chuqiu, instructing her, "This body tempering manual is not simple; I cannot understand it for the time being. You must keep it safe and not divulge it carelessly, lest it bring about your death."

"Thank you for the reminder, senior."

Li Chuqiu carefully put away the cultivation manual, then asked, "Is there any connection between this cultivation manual and my inability to open my sea of ​​consciousness?"

Ye Qingwu shook his head.

She glanced at Li Chuqiu, frowned, and said, "Your body is strange. All the signs indicate that you don't seem to be a normal person."

Li Chuqiu was taken aback: "What do you mean by that, senior? Am I not human?"

"—I can't possibly be a demon, can I?"

This is what Li Chuqiu is most worried about.

"That doesn't seem like it."

Ye Qingwu shook her head. If Li Chuqiu were a demon, she could see through her at a glance.

This child's situation is very special, and she couldn't explain it for the time being.

An extraordinary physique, a strange body-tempering technique, and—a sense of familiarity she couldn't quite describe.

Ye Qingwu stared at Li Chuqiu's face, trying to discern some clue from it.

But aside from being extremely handsome, this face showed absolutely no other signs of familiarity.

What's going on?

"However, judging from the current situation, it is indeed very likely that your inability to open your sea of ​​consciousness is because your sea of ​​consciousness space has been sealed by someone."

Ye Qingwu thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Then, senior, could you please solve this?"

Li Chuqiu looked at Ye Qingwu with some anticipation.

Ye Qingwu frowned slightly, paused for a moment, and then nodded: "Of course."

Li Chuqiu was overjoyed: "Thank you so much, senior!"

"etc!"

Before Li Chuqiu could finish speaking, Ye Qingwu interrupted her: "I never agreed to help you solve it."

"senior----"

Li Chuqiu was about to get into a pitiful mood when Ye Qingwu spoke expressionlessly: "Your sea of ​​consciousness is sealed, and theoretically, it's practically impossible to unseal it—this involves an extremely crucial sealing technique, one that very few people in the world know about!"

"You must know this, senior, right?"

Ye Qingwu glanced at him, still expressionless: "Although I know this, breaking this seal would require an extremely large amount of spiritual power."

At the same time, it also consumes a lot of vital essence and blood.

"The person who sealed your consciousness back then probably paid a heavy price! Now, if you want to unseal it, the price will naturally be extremely high as well."

Not only will it deplete one's own cultivation level, but it will also leave one feeling weak.

At this point, Ye Qingwu glanced at him and said, "We are just strangers who met by chance. Considering that you are a member of the Tianxuan Division who exorcises demons and monsters, and that you lent me eight hundred spirit stones, I am already being more than kind to you by giving you this life-saving talisman."

"What benefit would I gain from expending my cultivation and falling into a weakened state to help you break the seal?"

silence.

Faced with the rejection from this senior, Li Chuqiu couldn't find a reason to refute it for a moment.

Indeed, we were just strangers who met by chance, and this senior has already been very kind.

I saved him once last time, and this time I'm giving him a life-saving charm again.

To expect someone to expend their cultivation to help him break the seal is somewhat unreasonable and constitutes moral blackmail.

only----

This is Li Chuqiu's only chance to cultivate now!

If we miss this opportunity, we may never have another chance.

Even knowing it was somewhat unreasonable, Li Chuqiu still didn't want to give up.

"Then, senior—"

Li Chuqiu thought for a moment and then asked, "Are you still looking for apprentices?"
