Amidst the astonished or admiring gazes of the crowd, twelve pear trees sprang up from the ground, blocking Yang Jue's escape route.
Twelve trees is Lu Li's current limit, because there are only twelve pear trees in his sea of consciousness.
This supernatural power is far from its limit, but it's enough to deal with the current situation!
The pear blossom blades danced wildly, seemingly chaotic, but under Lu Li's control, they precisely struck Yang Jue's three souls and seven spirits.
"what!"
The boy let out a bloodcurdling scream like a pig being slaughtered, until he finally disappeared completely.
The Holy Son of Qingyang Palace died just like that.
Seeing this, the disciples of Qingyang Palace were already in complete disarray. Under the command of several stewards, they quickly retreated. In this battle, Baiyue Palace also suffered heavy losses, so they dared not continue to pursue.
Lu Li walked up to the corpse, tore off its storage bag, and examined it. He found that the trip had yielded a considerable amount of goods, including 32,000 spirit stones, as well as spirit materials and several yan diagrams.
Lu Li shifted his gaze to the left, where a fallen Golden-Winged Roc lay. The internal mechanisms of the creature were severely damaged, and the Type 7 Thunder Spirit Core embedded inside was not what he needed at the moment.
If sold as scrap, it might fetch 30,000 to 40,000 spirit stones. All the gains combined would be equivalent to obtaining two three-turn, nine-type spirit cores.
However, Lu Li was not happy about this; instead, his brows furrowed slightly.
Just at the last moment, the other party mentioned the Reversed Heavenly Dipper Instrument. Although the situation was chaotic at the time, Lu Li was sure that he heard it clearly and that the other party was talking about the Reversed Heavenly Dipper Instrument.
Throughout the entire battle, he never used the Reversal of Heavenly Dipper Instrument. So how did his opponent know that he possessed this instrument?
Lu Li felt a chill run down his spine.
"You old bastard, you told me to kill him, do you know something?"
"What could your teacher possibly know? Would you believe me if I told you? If I said you were in trouble, would you believe me?"
Lu Li was speechless. He really didn't trust what Elder Duan said; it was as if he hadn't said anything at all.
Lu Li suddenly caught sight of Mu Sixian walking towards him. She looked conflicted, as if she had something to say but didn't know how to start.
Since that's the case, Lu Li took out a plain pear, took a big bite, then turned and left without saying a word.
Just kidding, she couldn't possibly use the Past Token in front of everyone, could she? The less she said, the fewer mistakes she made, and the more she distanced herself from him, the less likely she would suspect him.
Saintess Deer walked away with a pear in her mouth, leaving her disciples with a solitary and aloof figure.
Mu Sixian was left standing there, her heart filled with sorrow.
"Wait, thank you..."
"Ok?"
Lu Li suddenly stopped in her tracks. She turned her head to reveal half of her cold profile. If she hadn't been chewing on a pear and her cheeks were stuffed full, her profile would have looked even more aloof.
After swallowing the pear, he only uttered eight words.
"We're fellow disciples, it's just a small favor."
Lu Li wasn't deliberately feigning arrogance, but her actions were perceived differently by the other disciples—
Despite being a saintess, she was active on the front lines of the war, turning the tide with swift and decisive actions, not only killing the enemy sect's holy son but also asking for nothing in return.
The disciples were so captivated by that petite yet majestic figure that they couldn't tear themselves away until Lu Li had walked away and they finally came to their senses.
At this moment, a male disciple's face lit up with fervor, and a feeling of longing arose spontaneously within him.
"Our sect's Holy Maiden defeated the enemy sect's Golden-Winged Roc with just a few punches and kicks! We cultivators should be like her!"
A female disciple covered her cheeks, her face flushed.
"She's so beautiful, yet she acts like a man, so decisive and efficient. That's too much! There's actually a senior sister like that."
Upon hearing the words "like a man," Lu Li's first reaction was joy, and he unconsciously puffed out his chest. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt something was amiss.
What does "like" mean? It is exactly what he is!
But he couldn't refute it, because above him hung a halo called the Saintess.
……
The following night, on a starship from the White Moon Palace.
Mu Sixian was sitting cross-legged in her room, meditating. Her magical artifact had been damaged again in the battle, and she needed to return to her sect to recuperate.
Such is the path of cultivation, especially for ordinary people without a background. It takes a lot of effort to accumulate spiritual materials to forge a few puppets. If the puppets are damaged in a battle, they need to spend money to repair and maintain them.
In the past, she wouldn't have had to worry about these things, but now, without the support of the Grand Elder, she is short of spirit stones and has less than two thousand spirit stones on her.
These spirit stones may seem like a lot, a windfall for ordinary disciples, but they are unlikely to be enough to repair a third-level puppet.
After all, a puppet is not living flesh, and it won't grow out of thin air.
If she can't be repaired in a short time, her strength will be greatly reduced. If this continues, when will she be able to serve the sect like Saintess Lu?
squeak~
A soft sound came from the door. Mu Sixian got up and closed the door again.
“Strange, I remember clearly setting up a restriction.”
Mu Sixian turned her head and saw a beautiful figure standing behind her. The person was not tall and the face was indistinct. The person was just standing there, and Mu Sixian felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
Standing before her was a powerhouse at the Creation Realm!
"Who are you? How did you get in?"
However, as if intentionally giving a warning, the other party only released the power for a moment before instantly retracting it, then pounced forward and pinned him against the wall.
"Who I am is not important, just look at this!"
The woman took out a token, and suddenly she chanted:
"Do you really not remember anything from the past?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Sixian, who was struggling just a second ago, was frozen in place as if she had been put under a spell. A moment later, she fell backward and lay down without even realizing that the back of her head hit the wall with a thud.
Her body pressed against the wall, slowly sliding to the ground, as if her soul had been ripped out in an instant.
The reason for this is that Lu Li used the Soul Dao Divine Power—[In the past, we were also human]!
Fragmented memories of the past, the words she once spoke, the voices she once heard, surged forth like a tide.
"Senior sister, what have we been studying so hard and cultivating ourselves to this day, for what purpose?"
"Go to the ancestral hall in my hometown to offer some fruit."
"Senior sister! I'm asking, what have we been working so hard every day, cultivating all this way, for?"
"I'm going back to my ancestral hall to offer some fruit. But there's a story behind the fruit offerings at my ancestral hall. It's said that the seeds were left by immortals, and if cultivated properly, they can grow into celestial fruits."
Chapter 166: Affected by the Immeasurable Kalpa, it turned into a seedless pear.
"who are you?"
"My name is... Lin An."
Why are you here?
“I was dispatched by the sect to be stationed at the Xuanming Mountain mine… No, that’s not right. Before that, I was defeated. No, that’s not right either.”
Mu Sixian's thoughts were in disarray. It took her a long time to sort out her thoughts, but her voice still carried a hint of uncertainty.
"It seems like I died once a long time ago, but I don't know why I'm here."
"One last question: Where are you going?"
Mu Sixian did not answer immediately; struggle and hesitation flashed in her eyes as memories of her two lifetimes intertwined in her mind.
In the blink of an eye, we are back to the very first question—what is the purpose of our spiritual practice all this time?
Yes, but what is it all for?
She was once lost and confused, and also once fanatical and loyal to the sect. But when she considered her experiences in this life and the sect's actions, this loyalty seemed like a joke.
When loyalty was completely consumed by hatred, and the sect's brainwashing lost its effect, all that remained in her eyes was anger, and she uttered only four resolute words.
"I want revenge."
"it is good."
Lu Li was very satisfied. It was easy to see from Mu Sixian's answer that her memory had recovered quite well, better than that of Su Xiaoya and Lu Ling, which greatly exceeded Lu Li's expectations.
Lu Li originally thought that this was simply related to the strength of divine sense, but now it seems that this is not the case.
"who are you?"
"Me? I was asked to do something for someone. Do you still remember the name Xiao Hanyan?"
"You know Senior Sister Xiao? Is she still alive?"
"Half-dead."
After a short while, Lu Li briefly recounted the situation in the Boundless Realm, deliberately omitting some parts that involved her own secrets.
The whole story was so bizarre that Mu Sixian was deeply shocked after hearing it, to the point that she began to have some doubts about Lu Li.
"I need to see her before I'll believe what you're saying."
"You will see her, but not now. The Boundless Realm will reopen in a few months. I think your sect won't stop you from filling in the lines."
The Boundless Realm has been a battleground for the two sects since ancient times. Now that the war between the two sects has broken out, the Boundless Realm will only become more lively this year. Due to the restrictions of the Boundless Tribulation, cultivators at the Spirit Pivot Realm and above are unable to enter. Therefore, every cultivator at the Open Source Realm can play a crucial role.
The sect would not refuse to let Mu Sixian, a puppet with Saint-level combat power but no Saint-level title, join the battlefield.
"Anyway, I can't enter the Boundless Realm. I don't need to use tricks to deal with you. When the time comes, if you find out that what I said is true, whether you want to use the opportunity of the Boundless Realm to fake your death and escape, or come back safely and continue to lie low in the sect, it's up to you."
"it is good."
Mu Sixian nodded slightly. Lu Li opened the window, leaped from the Star Chariot, and disappeared into the vast night, as if she had never appeared.
The only thing that made her feel a little guilty was that she felt sorry for Lu Li. Not long ago, Lu Li's words, "We are fellow disciples, it was just a small favor," were still ringing in her ears.
Thinking of this, Mu Sixian couldn't help but laugh at herself:
"She serves her disciples wholeheartedly; she deserves to be the Holy Maiden, unlike me, hehehe..."
……
Lu Li did not return to the sect immediately, but instead went back to Xuanming Mountain and pretended to be on duty for a week. Then, he hurriedly returned to the sect under the pretext of suddenly having a feeling and needing to go into seclusion.
In this way, it would seem that she wasn't doing it on purpose, and that she wasn't there solely to rescue someone.
In fact, the disciples of Qingyang Palace did not come to disturb him during this week, and Lu Li was relatively free. He seemed to be sitting in the mountains, but in reality, he spent his days deducing the mechanical artifact.
When Lu Li arrived, the Rejuvenating Pear Tree in his sea of consciousness had already blossomed successfully, and soon after returning, it bore its first batch of fruit.
Guarding this pear orchard, constantly outwitting Duan Xuanyuan, fearing she would steal it away, has now finally reaped the rewards.
Lu Li couldn't wait to pick the pear, take it out of his mind and put it into his storage bag, afraid that Elder Duan would have his eye on it.
Lu Li invented a special way of eating. She could chew on the Hundred-Year Jade Pear with her mouth while using her divine sense to wrap the Rejuvenating Fragrance Pear for digestion. It was a double enjoyment for both body and mind!
After Lu Li finished eating the Resurrection Pear, he suddenly realized something.
"Wait a minute, why don't the resurrected pears I planted have any seeds?"
"Seedless pears aren't good?"
"Oh no, there are no seeds, how am I supposed to plant a pear tree?"
Lu Li had originally planned to save the pear seeds and plant them in his sea of consciousness, but now that wish had fallen through.
He reasonably suspected that this was Xiao Hanyan's deliberate act. Only the first-generation pear seed in her possession could reproduce, so she gave him a taste of success first. If he wanted more Soul-Returning Pear Trees, he would have to return to the Boundless Realm and trade with her.
"Oranges grown south of the Huai River are oranges, but pear trees planted in your sea of consciousness are of course different from those planted in the boundless realm."
"But we can't do without seeds."
"These resurrected pears are a result of mutation. The little pear was affected by immeasurable calamity and became extinct. What can you do about it?"
"Never mind... wait a minute, you said that Little Pear was affected by the immeasurable calamity and would be childless and an old geezer, are you implying something about me?"
Lu Li's words revealed the truth: Duan Xuanyuan not only refused to admit it, but also turned around and accused him.
"Hehehe, don't accuse your master of anything I'm implying. You're just overthinking things, who can you blame?"
Speaking of ancient beast cubs, Lu Li felt a deep sense of unease.
The phenomenon of its reverse growth has not only failed to be resolved, but has become more and more serious. Lu Li even doubted whether this little thing could still be used as a mortgage loan device if it really shrunk into a candy bean.
