Stars fall and locust trees grow

"When it's noon, Elder Li Shang should be back here with his disciples, and then he will give the little bastard the fasting pills and the nourishing spirit pills."

Li Zhang stood there and rolled his eyes, then sneered and said, "Then I'll give him a surprise as well."

"A surprise he didn't expect."

"oh?!"

Li Jun saw the vicious look in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously, but he quickly suppressed his disgust, then curved his eyes and said softly: "It seems that you already have a plan."

"Yes!" Li Zhang said proudly, "Not only him, but also that little loser from the outer courtyard. Neither of them can escape."

"Ha ha……"

Li Jun narrowed his eyes, and rubbed the thumb of his left hand, which was hidden in the wide cuffs, slowly around the edge of his index finger. "You are still as stingy and vindictive as ever."

"..."

The accommodation conditions in the inner courtyard are much better than those in the outer courtyard.

Although the room was not very big, there were only two people living in it, and Li Chi felt very satisfied.

At noon, the disciples who were arranged to practice would return to the yard.

Thinking that he might meet Senior Brother Bai Xin in a while, he and Qi Luoxing quickly packed up their things and planned to wander around in the yard while waiting for each other.

"By the way, Senior Brother Bai Xin has been in the inner courtyard for about half a year. I don't know how he is doing now." Qi Luoxing said, "Also, I always feel that this inner courtyard is mysterious and a little bit abnormal. I must ask him about it when I see him later."

Li Chi nodded, he had the same idea.

After they packed up their things, they couldn't wait to go out and wait for Bai Xin. But just as they stretched out their hands to push open the door, they were bounced back by an invisible barrier.

"Um......?!"

Li Chi touched his chin in disbelief, "What the hell is going on in this inner courtyard?! They actually set up a barrier in the room?!"

"Oh my god! Cousin! These people in the inner courtyard are perverts!"

Qi Luoxing was completely irritated. He let out a strange cry, then stretched out his hand and slapped the barrier twice, "They said we can't leave the dormitory, and they really won't let us leave the dormitory."

"When we were in solitary confinement in the outer courtyard, it wasn't so strict! We could sneak away whenever we wanted. It's much more friendly than this inner courtyard."

"Besides, we've been here for so long and no one's paying attention to us. I'm feeling a little hungry."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chi heard a "gurgling" sound coming from his stomach.

Since the barrier has been set up, the two of them definitely can't get out.

The barrier not only sealed the door, but also the only window in the room. They could not see anything outside the room.

However, let's make peace with it.

After all, the Juyun Sect is a high-level sect, so it won’t do anything too excessive to them.

Moreover, most of the disciples who entered the Juyun Sect to practice were from humble backgrounds, and there was nothing on them that was worthy of a fourth-level sect to go to such great lengths to covet.

So, after Li Chi comforted himself, he turned back to the couch and lay down directly. "Wait a moment! Maybe someone will come at noon."

Upon hearing this, Qi Luoxing could only helplessly cover his rumbling stomach and climb onto the couch, lying next to Li Chi.

The two of them closed their eyes and rested, without saying anything for a while.

No one knew how much time had passed. Just when Li Chi was drowsy and sleepy, the tightly closed door was suddenly opened from the outside. A ruthless cold wind swept in from outside and woke him up from the bed.

only……

Li Chi sniffed.

There seemed to be a faint unpleasant smell mixed in with the cold wind.

Although it was very faint, he still smelled it.

It's like a mixture of blood and burnt smell, making the nasal cavity feel very uncomfortable.

Li Chi pinched his nose, straightened his clothes, and then pulled Qi Luoxing up.

When he looked up, he saw the senior brother who had led the way for them in the morning and a strange old man standing at his door.

Li Jun showed his signature smile and spoke first: "My two junior brothers, nice to see you again."

"Elder Li Shang just returned from training with all the disciples in the training hall. After settling the important matters of the sect, he came to see you as soon as possible."

Just after meeting Manager Li, another Elder Li came.

Their inner courtyard was indeed the Li family’s lair.

Li Chi secretly curled his lips, then put on a bright face and said with a smile: "Hello, Senior Brother! Hello, Elder Li!"

"Elder Li came at the right time. We have been hungry for a long time and haven't had lunch yet!"

Li Shang snorted as if he had heard a joke, and said concisely: "The impurities in the food will affect the purity of the spiritual energy, so after entering the inner courtyard, you must follow the sect's requirements to practice fasting."

After he finished speaking, he signaled Li Jun with his eyes. "Li Jun!"

Li Jun understood and slowly took out four porcelain bottles, two white and two green, from his Qiankun bag. Then, with a slight effort, he placed them on the table in the middle of the room.

"Of these four bottles of medicine, the white bottle is the Bigu Pill, and the green bottle is the Yangshen Pill. Bigu Pills can be taken according to one's own physical condition, usually one pill every half a month. Yangshen Pills are the foundation for practicing the sect's secret techniques, one pill a day, and do not take more than one pill or forget to take one."

"In addition, after taking the Yang Shen Pill, you need to use spiritual energy to slowly catalyze it so that it can be absorbed."

He pointed to the two porcelain bottles, one white and one green, on the left and said, "These two bottles are for you, Junior Brother Li, and the other two are for Junior Brother Qi. You two have different spiritual roots, so the recipes for the Nourishing Spirit Pills will also be different, so don't make any mistakes."

"After using the Yang Shen Pill to strengthen your body, you can start unified training, which is one month later."

"Wow!" Qi Luoxing put away his pair of medicine bottles, then raised his eyebrows and asked casually, "Um... Elder Li! When can we cancel this barrier?!"

"We are both used to being wild in the outer courtyard. I'm afraid we can't stand staying in the house every day."

Upon hearing this, Li Shang said with disdain: "The inner courtyard and the outer courtyard are naturally different. The purpose of setting up the barrier is to let you focus all your attention on cultivation. Don't think about things that are not related to cultivation."

"Oh..." Qi Luoxing sighed when he heard the other party's irrelevant answer, then he shut up and said no more.

It was Li Chi who seized the opportunity and asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time.

"Does Elder Li know my father, Li Qing?!"

"Li Qing?!" Li Shang did not think for a moment and answered directly: "He naturally died during the sect's mission. Since you have joined the Juyun Sect, you must always be prepared to devote everything, including your life, to the development of the sect."

"Not just your father Li Qing, each of you must be prepared."
