The room was brightly lit, and several people dressed as members of the Tongxian Sect were busy inside. Next to the counter stood a flag with the eight large characters "Tongxian Wonderful Method, Universal Salvation of All Beings" written on it.

There were several mechanisms on the side. When Lu Li first saw them, he couldn't figure out their specific functions until he saw a familiar face lying on one of the beds—it was the coachman who had picked him up during the day.

If I remember correctly, this person's name is Miao Ergou.

At that time, Lu Li went into the mountains to find spirit wood and asked Miao Ergou to settle the horses at the post station. It was getting late, and this guy was not going to sleep. I wonder what he was up to here.

So Lu Li stood at the door and watched from afar.

A soft sound was heard, and the mechanism inside the bed began to operate, a ring slowly rose up and swept over Miao Ergou.

"Is this a medical check-up?"

Lu Li's expression became very strange. After the ring swept over Miao Ergou three times, a member of the Tongxian Sect came to the bedside, took out a yellowed piece of paper from the narrow gap at the head of the bed, and sighed deeply.

Hearing the sigh, Miao Ergou suddenly sat up in bed, looking at the man with a worried expression. He seemed to have something to ask, but dared not speak.

The paper was yellowed and curled at the edges, with two large clumps of dirt in the middle. Based on the outline of the object, Lu Li roughly determined that what was printed on it were two halves of a lung.

The man examined it carefully for a while, and finally uttered three words.

"That's not a good idea."

"What's wrong with me, Grandpa Immortal? Please speak to me, what happened to me?"

Have you been feeling dizzy and have a sore buttock lately?

"Yes...it is a little, but not serious."

"Unbutton your chest and look here."

Miao Ergou obediently did as he was told, and the man quickly tapped his chest three times, causing bright red blood to roll down his chest.

"Ah, blood! No, why don't I feel any pain?"

"You are terminally ill, of course you can't feel the pain."

In an instant, Miao Ergou was so frightened that he trembled and fell to the ground. He didn't care about anything else, crawled to the believer's feet, hugged the other's leg, and burst into tears.

"God, you must save me, God!"

The man's disgust flashed across his face for a fleeting moment, then he said loudly:

"There is a way. The Venerable One taught us that sincerity brings results. You just need to focus on your cultivation and you can use your inner strength to expel external forces."

"I fix things, I fix everything."

“But this spiritual practice requires resources. The Venerable said that one must give up worldly possessions in order to return to one’s true self.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Li couldn't help but secretly grumble to himself.

Only by giving up worldly wealth can one cultivate. It's unbelievable that he could say that. In this world, without spiritual stones, what kind of immortality can one even dream of?

Miao Ergou rummaged around his body for a while, and finally pulled out two strings of copper coins from his pocket, which he handed to the believer with both hands.

"I... I only have this much left."

"Is that really all? Have you thought this through? Be sincere."

"I……"

Miao Ergou scratched his head, then suddenly caught sight of Lu Li standing at the door. As if he had seen a savior, he pounced on him, but Lu Li dodged him.

"Miss, could you please give me an advance on the wages you promised?"

"You haven't taken me to my destination yet."

"But I need it urgently. Don't worry, I will definitely deliver it to you. I will leave first thing tomorrow morning and I will not delay."

Looking into the man's earnest eyes, Lu Li felt sorry for his misfortune and angry at his lack of ambition, but he also felt helpless, because for the second time today, he saw his former self in someone else.

At that time, he was facing a huge debt of thirty-six spirit stones and wanted to ask Tang, the owner of the stamping workshop, for an advance on his monthly salary, but was ruthlessly rejected by the other party.

Lu Li could easily see that the Tongxian Sect follower was swindling and cheating. The piece of paper in the other party's hand was obviously pre-printed; what could you tell from those two black blobs?

"You believe everything they say?"

"I……"

When Lu Li asked him this question, Miao Ergou hesitated. He knew that Lu Li had an extraordinary temperament when he came, and must also be a fairy. With both sides being immortals, he didn't know who to believe.

However, when the other believers present heard Lu Li's words, they were immediately displeased and surrounded him.

"Fellow Daoist, what do you mean by that? Are you questioning my diagnosis?"

"I can tell you're a disciple of the White Moon Palace. If it were any other rogue cultivator, they wouldn't even be able to step out of this door today. Don't break the rules, or you'll regret it."

Lu Li didn't know what the other party's so-called rules were, but he figured that the relationship between Baiyue Palace and Tongxian Sect was ambiguous, so he didn't need to bother with these people.

Lu Li didn't want to get into a conflict with these people, so he tossed the loose silver to Miao Ergou, walked to the counter, took the key, and went upstairs. As he went upstairs, he was shocked to hear people shouting and cursing downstairs.

Once upstairs, Lu Li went to his guest room, took a shower, changed into clean disciple robes, activated the Great Dream Pivot, entered the dream world, and began his cultivation for the night.

After a week of cultivation, he had basically finished comprehending the jade slip given to him by Elder Ying, and originally planned to finish it tonight.

Two hours later, Lu Li was woken up by Elder Duan.

"Wake up, there seems to be someone downstairs."

"As long as they don't come up, it's none of my business."

"No, I assure you, you will find this very interesting."

Lu Li was just trying out the puppet in his dream when he was suddenly interrupted, which made him a little annoyed.

"You better be in trouble."

Just then, a commotion arose downstairs.

"It's so cold, should we bury him here, or go outside the city?"

"Shh, keep your voice down. What will you do if these troublemakers find out?"

"And tell me, how did you manage to do this? How did you manage to completely control her?"

"I just added the medicine to the food as usual, I didn't do anything else."

"How much aconite did you release?"

"Just... one spoonful."

Snapped!

A sharp slap was heard, accompanied by someone's angry rebuke.

"How old is that child? You're putting a spoonful in? Is aconite free?"

Lu Li frowned, realizing there was a trap involved. He didn't want to meddle in other people's business, let alone get involved with the Tongxian Sect, but the other party's words made him very concerned.

He remembered aconite. Some time ago, he was studying alchemy and had read many related jade slips. He used the Great Dream Pivot to search and found out that it was a slow-acting poison. Long-term use would weaken the body.

He quietly peered out the window, peeking out only half his head, and saw four people carrying two shoulder poles on the main street outside the post station, with two people, one big and one small, hanging on the poles.

It's that mother and daughter from before!

They looked as if they were dead.

He clearly saw them just two hours ago, so how could they have died so inexplicably?

Lu Li scanned the four people one by one. He recognized the leader; he was one of the people he had met on the mountain that afternoon. However, the Open Source Realm cultivator named Qin Xiao was not present.

Those four all appeared to be ordinary people, but it was unclear whether they bore the mark of a puppeteer, as there were no visible signs of alteration on their appearances.

So, Lu Li activated the Qi-Harmony Cauldron, switched to the Returning Origin state, and completely concealed his aura. He quietly went downstairs and followed the others out of the city.

The group walked silently halfway down the road, when the leader continued his tirade:

"Fortunately, no one else knows about this, otherwise you would already be inside the Venerable One's soul banner."

"hiss--"

The mere mention of the "Mirror of Ten Thousand Souls" sent a chill down the spines of the three people behind them.

“Remember this from now on: that sheep is for shearing, not for eating. We have to shear it slowly. This woman is completely devoted to our Tongxian Sect. If she weren’t dead, she would come to offer sacrifices every month. This woman isn’t bad-looking either. Maybe if we get to know her better, she’ll submit to us—um, this money will be deducted from your monthly salary, you hear me!”

"Oh, actually we could have eaten it while it was hot... How was I supposed to know she was so weak that she ate it to death? And this woman is a madwoman. She was clearly grateful to us just now, but she turned around and wanted to fight us. She changed her mind so quickly."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's leave it here. You three go dig the hole, and I'll keep watch."

"She was killed by you?"

"So what if it is... wait, who is it?"

The four were startled. Lu Li emerged from behind the tree, and the leader recognized him first. The three continued digging, while the leader stepped forward, clasped his hands in a respectful greeting, and said with a fawning smile:

"Oh, so you are Miss Xuan. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Don't try to get close to me. Explain yourself clearly. What exactly happened?"

"Alas, it's just the deaths of two lowly commoners. Miss, you needn't worry about it."

"Is this how all members of your Tongxian Sect are?"

"What's so strange about that? Besides, it's not like we're the only ones doing it this way. All the Tongxian Sects in the world have always done it this way."

The man stepped forward, his gaze meaningful. He reached out to pat Lu Li's shoulder, but Lu Li dodged him. Lu Li turned to the side and asked him a question:

"Just because it has always been this way, does that necessarily mean it's right?"

Upon hearing this, the three men who were squatting and digging the hole stood up in unison. The foreman turned around and glared at the three of them, then continued to explain to Lu Li:

"Everyone has their own difficulties. You are here to carry out a sect mission, while we are here to carry out a Venerable's mission. Just pretend you didn't see anything. The White Moon Palace knows about this. Even if you expose it, you will be the one who suffers in the end. I believe you are a sensible person."

"that's it?"

"That's it, just a bunch of lowly people, they're dead and that's it, don't you think?"

The disciples who are able to come out to carry out missions all have some background. This person concluded that Lu Li was also a young lady from a prominent family, and believed that she would not stoop to the level of an ordinary person.

They had no idea that Lu Li had no background whatsoever and was also what they called a "lowly commoner".

Lu Li had dreamt many times that he had become Lu Ling, and that her illness was not getting better. She had been bedridden for a long time, often sighing and talking to herself, saying that she was useless.

He could understand that helplessness and had personally experienced that pain.

No wonder Lu Ling's illness couldn't be cured. So that's why. It's all thanks to them!

The girl's lips curled up slightly, and she laughed inappropriately. The other person thought he had agreed with his point of view and laughed heartily along with her.

"Right, right! Hey, that's more like it. If we all compromise, the world will be a better place. Our Tongxian Sect and your Baiyue Palace are all one family..."

However, before the man could finish speaking, Lu Li clenched his left fist, switched his Azure Netherworld Skin to steel mode, and his ligaments and ligaments suddenly burst forth like a fully drawn bowstring.

boom!

The next instant, the other person's head disappeared, leaving only a headless corpse that collapsed to the ground with a thud.

The other three were stunned for a moment, then raised their shovels and rushed forward. Lu Li raised her leg and swept it horizontally, sending the three flying. She rushed up and stomped on the heads of two of them, crushing them.

Taking advantage of the moment, the remaining man braced himself on the ground with his hands and dragged his body backward with his legs. Seeing his companion die tragically, he was terrified and his voice trembled.

"Don't kill me!"

"He was right about one thing just now: a lowly commoner, if he dies, he dies."

"No, I... I'm different from them. I'm a member of the Tongxian Sect."

Lu Li remained silent, as if a sage were touching the other's head, while the ligaments and tendons in his five fingers exerted a slight force at the same time.

Boom!

The upper half of the opponent's head exploded instantly, and all four people died one after another, all within three breaths.

"Old man, do I have any secret weapons on my body that can conceal my identity?"

"Yes, of course, it's your face."

"My face?"

Lu Li subconsciously reached out and touched his pretty face, but only felt a wet, warm substance – the blood that had just splattered on his face.

"Yes, of course, there is. A second-tier artifact called [Never Met Before], oh no, the one on your face back then, it should be a third-tier one. This item can completely change your aura and the appearance of your supernatural powers, making your enemies unable to recognize you and unable to remember your appearance afterwards."
