"What did the sect say?"
Si Kui looked around for a moment, and seeing that no one was around, she lowered her voice and said:
“We haven’t even mentioned it. The notice next door says he died of old age, and that his male disciples should learn from his spirit of dedication and selflessness. Pah, nobody believes that. I’m telling you this not so you can go around spreading rumors, but because you should rest more. You’re so young, don’t die suddenly like that old man.”
"Ah."
"Are you trying to compete with Lu Li?"
"how do you know?"
"Anyone could see you staring at her seat and gritting your teeth. But you don't need to do that."
"why?"
"Because Hongjun people will naturally be dealt with by Hongjun people. That day, Miss Song took the front row position from the Lü family, and our Miss Lu took Miss Song's position the next day. She doesn't usually work hard, but she has accumulated a lot of contribution points. She occupies the position without doing anything, and these two young ladies have long been eyeing her. Just wait, she will suffer in the competition."
"I see."
“I understand you. You want to enter the inner sect and become an immortal. But my mother told me that you can’t rush things. Mortals have limited energy, and elixirs are not a panacea. It’s not worth ruining your health. You’ve only been a disciple for less than a month. You need to take it slow and steady. Perhaps one day, you can really defeat those Hongjun people.”
Chapter 91 Going to the Ancestral Hall in My Hometown to Set Up Offerings [Third Update]
By the time Lu Li emerged from Elder Ying's cave, it was already dusk.
After being tossed around all afternoon, she was completely listless. The outermost layer was a layer of Azure Fox Skin Jelly, the inner layer was a layer of Mystic Ice Lotus Root Sausage, and the filling inside was a pear...
Although the ingredients were unconventional and did not follow the usual rules, he suspected that he had been cooked, as he was exuding the aroma of a mature woman... no, the aroma of a mature dish.
To be honest, in order to avoid becoming the next Liu Si, he didn't forget to soak his face and scalp, which led to him accidentally drinking some soup.
I must say, it tastes pretty good.
After drinking, Lu Li felt a slight heaviness in his lower abdomen, so he decided to relieve himself. He looked around outside the cave, scanning with his divine sense, trying to find a toilet.
"Stop being so dramatic, just find a place to make do on the side of the road."
"That won't do. Don't you see where I am? This is Yushui Girls' School, full of female disciples. What if one of them sees me urinating like a boy? They'll probably turn me into an inner disciple on the spot!"
"Yes, yes, it's a boy's urine, but it's full of yin energy. If you splatter it on a female ghost's face, it can kill her instantly."
"Hmph, I'll grow up sooner or later, you old codger, just you wait."
Lu Li gestured to his Ice Skin. His efforts throughout the afternoon had not been in vain. After absorbing the medicinal power, his Ice Skin, Suspended Ligament, and Azure Netherworld Skin all showed improvement.
Among them, the Azure Netherworld Skin Refining technique is progressing the fastest. Lu Li estimates that with the aid of the medicinal bath, he doesn't need to consume a thousand Bi'an Pills at all, and he can refine the Azure Netherworld Skin Refining technique to the second stage ahead of schedule.
After wandering around for a while, Lu Li found a latrine in the woods behind the cave. The latrine was built in a really remote place. If he didn't have a Grade C superior divine sense, he might not have been able to find it.
After a pleasant stroll along a stream, Lu Li emerged from the outhouse only to bump into a wall covered in dark ink stains, which startled him.
Looking closely, you can see all sorts of things on the wall: writing, drawings, and carvings.
There's a traditional Chinese ink painting depicting two women fighting, gossip about an elder, and sweet nothings between disciples... Wait, isn't this a girls' school? Why are there sweet nothings between disciples?
Could it be that this oppressive atmosphere, with strict prohibitions on private interactions between men and women, has ironically fostered a peculiar friendship among the female disciples?
If I had known that even disguising myself as a female student at the girls' school would lead to...
Lu Li wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, thinking that this should only be an isolated case. As long as the wildfire burned fiercely, it wouldn't burn him.
Then, Lu Li continued reading. The next few lines of text became increasingly heated, with inconsistent handwriting, indicating that they were not written by the same person. However, the handwriting was rather messy and sharp, showing that the writers were quite irritable at the time.
[Wow, is this pig slop made by the sect's kitchen? If you can't cook it, don't waste the ingredients.]
[Che Wenjun, I'll feed your ancestors for eighteen generations!]
[Luli, one day I will trample you under my feet.]
Lu Li frowned, sensing that things weren't so simple. Wait, how did this involve me? Who exactly hates him so much? He hadn't provoked anyone. It seems this area is where the disciples vent their frustrations.
Why would you step on my adorable fawn?
[The new junior sister Lu Li, who joined the sect last month, is undoubtedly one of the best among this group in terms of talent, but she's always sleepy. I almost want to reach out and poke her.]
Why is it that despite consuming so many Bi'an Pills, she never touches the Cihua Pill, yet her appearance remains so exquisitely beautiful?
Lu Li had always thought that he was plain-looking and that no one should like him. Now it seemed that he was being targeted by a strange fellow disciple. Thinking of this, Lu Li suddenly felt a tightness in his anus.
"Our disciple is truly a scourge to the country, bewitching these female disciples to no end."
"Get out of here."
Lu Li waved his sleeve, preparing to leave. He didn't have time to read the wall full of complaints.
These people are so busy from morning till night that they're practically dying from exhaustion, yet they still have the leisure to complain.
But then Lu Li thought about it again, and realized that these people seemed to have no other place to vent their frustrations except on the walls of the latrine.
Any one of these words would have been severely punished by the sect, yet they were miraculously preserved. Was it because the sect turned a blind eye, or was it due to the tacit understanding among the disciples?
Thinking this, Lu Li walked to the corner, where a piece of elegant calligraphy came into view—
I asked: "Senior sister, what is the purpose of all our years of hard study and cultivation?"
[The senior sister replied: Go to the ancestral hall in our hometown and offer some fruit.]
I asked: Senior Sister! I'm asking, what have we been working so hard every day, cultivating ourselves all this way, for?
[The senior sister replied: We'll offer fruit at the ancestral hall in my hometown. However, there's a story behind the fruit offerings at my hometown's ancestral hall. It's said that the seeds were left by immortals, and if cultivated properly, they can grow into celestial fruits.]
I don't believe it.
That winter, the Boundless Realm of Yu Zhe opened. The elders all said, "For every point of advancement, a thousand will be wiped out." It's just a pity that Senior Sister was the one who was wiped out.
That spring, my senior sister didn't return.
After quickly reading through these few lines, Lu Li touched his nose, feeling a slight pricking sensation on his back.
"The Boundless Realm of Yu?"
"The Boundless Blessing Return to the Void Seal that I told you about, one of which has the suffix 'Yu' is located in the upper reaches of the Liubao River. It is a world of its own, filled with countless eons. The birds, beasts and plants there have all undergone mutations. But it is precisely because of this that various special spiritual materials are produced there."
"There's another way to say it."
"You'll definitely have to go there later. First, you might find the Ruins Uranium there. Second, the Ghost Face Flower only blooms in that special environment, which happens to be the main ingredient for refining something you've never seen before."
"Do we really have to go?"
"It's alright if you don't go. Just enjoy your remaining four months of life. Your master isn't in a hurry."
To be honest, Lu Li didn't really want to go to that kind of hellish place. He had suffered greatly from the immeasurable calamity, and his brother was already nearing the end of his life. If he were to be affected by the immeasurable calamity again, he would be doomed sooner or later.
If we could buy them all within the sect, that would be ideal. Unfortunately, neither Ghost Face Flower nor Returning Void Uranium is on the disciples' list of spiritual materials for exchange.
The former is rare and uncommon, so few people bother to collect it; the latter is of such high quality that even the sect itself is reluctant to use it, let alone sell it to its disciples.
In contrast, Lu Li has already found a way to obtain the Mystic Ice Lotus Root needed to refine Ice Skin. He only needs to reach one hundred contribution points to exchange for it after advancing to the inner sect.
Right now, the most important thing is to hurry back and study the newly purchased jade slip.
After leaving the outhouse, Lu Li walked in the moonlight, against the flow of people, towards the dormitory.
At this moment, he glanced back at the disciples who were going in the opposite direction from him. Without exception, they were all dressed simply, but the direction their toes were pointing was the sect's weapon-refining hall.
Chapter 92 It's all your fault for not taking your medicine hard enough
After returning to his cave, Lu Li put a Bi'an pill in his mouth, then took out a jade slip, entered it into the Xuan Shu, and began to study it diligently.
He bought this jade slip three days ago. He was busy refining the Great Dream Profound Pivot, and only after finishing today did he have time to take it out and look at it.
The same content would cost one or two taels of silver on a jade slip, while a paper book would only be worth a few copper coins. However, since Lu Li had some spare money, he had been buying jade slips instead of paper books printed with ink, mainly for two reasons.
Firstly, the jade slips are easy to read; one can easily read them with just divine sense, without straining the eyes at all. After all, his eyesight wasn't very good to begin with, and recently, due to staying up late, his eyesight had become somewhat blurry. If nothing unexpected happens, Lu Li plans to take out a loan to get his eyes doubled next time.
Secondly, the Great Dream Pivot can directly record information from jade slips, but it cannot directly record information from paper books.
The Great Dream Pivot, now equipped with a three-turn spirit core, is truly different. Lu Li could clearly feel that his thinking and deduction speed was 50% faster than before.
The first question that Lu Li was most concerned about was: what are Yin and Yang?
In response, Lu Li purchased relevant jade slips, which contained detailed information about the cultivator's physical body. The study of the human body was a branch of alchemy.
After searching, Lu Li found the chapter that discussed the two energies of Yin and Yang, and the very first sentence was—
The two energies of Yin and Yang govern the physical form of the spirit. Yang is strong and Yin is gentle; Yin alone cannot produce, and Yang alone cannot grow. Only when they complement each other can there be harmony.
Lu Li frowned and continued reading.
"Both men and women have Yin and Yang energies in their bodies, but in different proportions. When these two energies act on the human body, if Yang energy is abundant, a person's appearance and behavior will appear strong and fierce; if Yin energy is abundant, a person's appearance and behavior will appear gentle and graceful. These energies flow along with the blood..."
"So that's why I couldn't find it. I thought it was a gas like spiritual energy, but it turns out it dissolves in the blood."
"Men have more than 80% yang energy in their bodies, while women have more than 80% yin energy... I don't know what my composition is right now?"
Lu Li quickly skimmed over the following rambling content, such as special cases, like special constitutions like pure Yang or pure Yin. Pure Yang means having an extremely high Yang energy content, making one a male among males, while pure Yin is the exact opposite.
These were not what Lu Li cared about most. What Lu Li cared about most was how to see and know the content of Yin and Yang energies in his body.
The jade slip provides two methods: one is to take a drop of blood and examine it with a special instrument, and the other is to use a level C or higher divine sense to internally examine one's own blood.
"No wonder I couldn't sense it before. My divine sense wasn't strong enough. I had just completed the Great Dream Pivot and hadn't been able to probe my own blood."
The higher the strength of one's divine sense, the wider the range of perception and the higher the precision of perception. For this reason, the inscription of some array patterns places strict requirements on the strength of a cultivator's divine sense.
Lu Li used his divine sense to examine his own blood and indeed saw something different.
He actually saw countless red and blue specks of light in his blood. These specks were extremely fine. According to the jade slip, the red specks represented yang energy, and the blue specks represented yin energy.
Yin energy makes up at least 85% of his blood!
"No! How could there be so many? Old man, did you do this?"
Judging from his yin energy, he was no different from a woman, but the physical changes could not be accomplished overnight.
"This isn't my fault. It's all because of countless eons of karma. Besides, it's not like I didn't warn you. You insisted on taking the uranium pill yourself. Who can you blame for this?"
"But I ate that Duobi'an Pill, so why didn't it work?"
"Bi'an Pill? What is that? It's just a pill made from a bunch of first-grade spiritual materials. You should know that Guixu Uranium is a fourth-grade spiritual material. If your Bi'an Pill wants to surpass Guixu Uranium, you have to win by sheer quantity."
"Is it possible that the Bixie Pill is not working for me?"
During this time, Lu Li has come into contact with a lot of knowledge about alchemy. The effects of pills vary from person to person. Some people absorb them well, while others absorb them poorly, and some may even experience adverse effects.
Upon hearing this, even Elder Duan couldn't help but admire Lu Li's keenness and alertness. After all that trouble, he had actually guessed the problem.
However, there is an insurmountable gap between her and Lu Li: the information gap. He only knows the name "Reversed Heavenly Dipper Instrument," but he doesn't know that she possesses this artifact, let alone its effects.
As the saying goes, man proposes, God disposes. No matter how vigilant a person is, it is impossible to be a god who can predict the future without relying on existing information. To deduce things beyond our knowledge without the help of existing information is the legendary Seven Revolutions of Destiny, which is beyond the reach of ordinary human intelligence.
As long as Lu Li doesn't understand this mechanical artifact, she can keep it hidden forever.
But the key issue is not about concealment; Duan Xuanyuan's purpose is not that, nor is he satisfied with just that.
Currently, the Yin energy in Lu Li's body accounts for 85% of the total Yin and Yang energies, which is far from enough. This is just the beginning; any random girl would have the same amount.
What she wanted to do was to make Lu Li's Yin energy reach 99%, transforming him into an extremely Yin body, a rare find in the world, and making him the epitome of womanhood.
Only in this way, only by being extremely yin, can one forge the most exquisite Qingling female puppet.
Thinking of this, Old Duan said in a serious tone:
"You don't have any special constitution, so how could those pills be ineffective for you? You just haven't taken enough! Think about it yourself, how many have you taken so far? Hmm? Didn't you dare not take them last time? You changed your daily dosage to five pills, ptooey! If you ask me, in your current condition, even taking fifty pills a day wouldn't be enough."
"hiss……"
Lu Li gasped. He was always habitually skeptical, questioning every word Duan Lao had ever said, but this time, the object of his suspicion was himself.
Could it be that his momentary lapse of judgment, his cleverness backfired, leading to the current outcome?
How about we try another one?
Lu Li took out another Bi'an Pill and put it in his mouth. In order to speed up the absorption, he directly activated the Qi-Harmony Cauldron to enter the Zhou Tian state, breathing in and out spiritual energy to circulate through the body, thereby assisting in the refining process.
In less than a quarter of an hour, he had completely absorbed and refined the pill. Its medicinal power was divided into two parts: one part was absorbed by Qingming Huapi, and the other part turned into specks of red light.
That's right, this is yang energy.
This faint yang energy had a negligible effect on the blood that was filled with yin energy, but it did raise the yang energy in Lu Li's body by a tiny bit.
"What did I tell you? You're not eating enough. If you eat more, eat hundreds of these a day, and I guarantee you'll be back to your peak!"
"Is that really true?"
