Stars fall and locust trees grow

The day before the ceremony, Gu Huaiyi and others finally stopped wandering around, and stayed quietly in their respective rooms to meditate.

This was not because they suddenly had a change of heart and turned over a new leaf, but was a deliberate arrangement by their junior master Gu Chuanlin.

At this moment, Gu Chuanlin was giving one-on-one teaching to Li Chi in the room.

Li Chi sat cross-legged on a cushion, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth according to the method that Gu Chuanlin had just taught him.

But no matter how many times he tried, the spiritual energy could not enter the sea of ​​​​consciousness after entering his body, but disappeared directly inside his body.

Li Chi tried a few more times out of disbelief. In the end, not only did he break out in cold sweat, but he also vomited blood due to anger. Maoqiu, who was sleeping, was so frightened that he couldn't help but get up to look at him.

Li Chi looked at the blood on his body and muttered to himself, "Damn it...what's wrong with my body..."

Gu Chuanlin was also a little surprised. He frowned and walked forward to help Li Chi up and check his luck. He also used his spiritual sense to explore inside his body.

"There's something strange about your body."

Li Chi asked: "What's weird about it?"

"There seems to be a barrier in your sea of ​​consciousness, and the meridians around your body seem to be suppressed by something."

Li Chi asked: "Then am I still saved?"

Gu Chuanlin did not answer, and tried several more times to probe into Li Chi's sea of ​​consciousness with his spiritual consciousness, but was ultimately forced to stop and could not go any further.

He withdrew his hand, his face solemn, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Li Chi said: "With my current physical condition, I am afraid I cannot enter the Moonlight Palace to practice, right?"

Gu Chuanlin was silent for a moment, then asked instead of answering: "What's going on between you and Wei Li?"

"what?"

Li Chi was stunned.

Why is this person talking nonsense?

Furukawa Rindo: "When did you two meet?"

Li Chi was even more confused.

What does this have to do with his body?

Seeing that Li Chi did not answer, Gu Chuanlin did not continue to ask, but took out a new set of sky-blue clothes from the crystal storage bracelet on his wrist.

"Put on this outfit in a moment."

Li Chi was as if he had been pardoned, and hurriedly grabbed his clothes and hid behind the screen.

When I came out after changing clothes, Gu Chuanlin was standing in front of the window holding a ball of fur.

Li Chi walked over to his side and saw that he had a gloomy expression. He didn't know what to say. After thinking about it, he turned to talk about the two-headed monster.

"I heard that Senior Brother Zeng and his companions encountered a monster on their way to Shuozhou? Can you tell me what happened?"

"Mu Han once mentioned this to me." Gu Chuanlin said, "They left the moon that day and flew on their swords all the way to Shuozhou. When they passed through Qibao Town in Lingcangzhou, Huaiyi suddenly heard a roar similar to that of a wild beast coming from the dense forest outside the town, so they went down to investigate, and later, they found the two-headed monster deep in the dense forest."

Lincangzhou? Qibao Town?

where is that?

Li Chi was a person with poor sense of direction. He couldn't even find his way around Jiangzhou where he had lived for more than ten years, let alone places outside Jiangzhou.

He coughed twice in embarrassment. "Um... Gu Chuanlin, do you have a map of the distribution of the Spirit Realm?"

Furukawa Lin: ???

"It was my first time going out, and I was in a hurry and forgot to bring it... hehe."

Gu Chuanlin took out an ancient scroll from his crystal bracelet. When the scroll was unfolded, it was a distribution map of the four seas and six continents of the spiritual realm.

Li Chi first found the location of Shuozhou in the upper middle part of the map.

Lincangzhou is located in the southeast of Shuozhou, and the distance between the two is not very far.

However, whether it is Shuozhou or Lincangzhou, they are both very far away from Jiangzhou where Li Chi wants to go.

After roughly understanding the locations of these states, Li Chi continued to ask: "Did Senior Brother Zeng mention any characteristics of the monster?"

Furukawa Rindo: "The body is strong and invulnerable to swords and knives."

"What then?"

"Later, Huai Yi used the Lightning and Fire Technique to barely burn the monster to death."

Li Chi was surprised and asked, "I didn't expect that Gu Huaiyi could actually use the Lightning and Fire Technique?"

Furukawa Rindo: "Before he started fasting, he often stole the chicks from the head brother's garden and roasted them for food, so he is quite proficient in this technique."

After hearing this, Li Chi pondered for a moment.

Judging from the monster's invulnerability to swords and knives, it was indeed the same as the Juyun Sect's test subjects. However, for test subjects that failed to fuse bones, the Juyun Sect always killed them directly to avoid being exposed, so there should be no omissions.

Therefore, the worst possibility he could think of at this moment was that someone was still conducting such experiments in secret.

As for who this person could be, he had no idea at all.

It seems that after the upgrading ceremony of the Changsheng Palace, I have to find a way to return to Jiangzhou no matter what.

***

Ever since Wei Li transferred the "indenture", Li Chi's daily life has been entirely left to Gu Chuan Lin.

Gu Chuanlin is indeed the favored son of the first-level sect Mingyuejian. He is a man who spends money like water and is wealthy.

In the past two days, Li Chi's three meals have all changed from ordinary meals to spiritual food with rich ingredients, and even the tea he drinks on weekdays has been added with precious spiritual medicine.

The rapid improvement in the quality of life made Li Chi confused, but at the same time he couldn't help but have the illusion that life was peaceful and he had no desires.

This is life!

Because Gu Huaiyi, Zeng Muhan and others had been in meditation all day, and Li Chi was forced to stop his practice because of the vomiting blood incident, so after dinner, he could only stand at the window and look around idly.

Because the promotion ceremony will be held tomorrow, there will be more people coming and going in the city today than in the previous few days.

Just when Li Chi was staring at a few beautiful female monks passing by, a group of strange people in black robes suddenly appeared in his sight.

There were about eight or nine people in this group. Each of them had his hat pulled down very low on his head, looking sinister and standing out among the passing crowd.

Li Chi noticed that under the black robes on the backs of these people, there was a flat bulge the size of a baby, which looked as if it was still wriggling, which was really too weird.

He quickly turned to Gu Chuanlin who was sitting in front of the small table, and shouted hurriedly: "Gu Chuanlin! Come here quickly!"

Seeing that Li Chi had a strange expression, Gu Chuanlin stood up and flew to his side without hesitation.

Li Chi whispered in their ears: "Do you think there is something wrong with those black-robed people?"

Gu Chuanlin glanced at him and said, "There's something wrong with my back."

"Great minds think alike!" Li Chi said, "I just looked carefully and there seems to be something on their backs, and... it's alive."

Furukawa Rindo: "It looks alive, but it's actually dead."

Li Chi said: "You are a very knowledgeable old man. Have you ever heard of such a strange sect in the four seas and six continents?"

Gu Chuanlin said: "The spiritual realm is vast, so it's not surprising. But these people are really strange. If we meet them at the ceremony tomorrow, we should keep an eye on them."

Li Chi nodded.
