Stars fall and locust trees grow

It's a coincidence.

On the second day after Li Zhang's rage, Li Shuang came out of confinement.

She gained a lot from her six-month retreat, breaking through directly from the initial stage of the sixth level of the Xuan Gu Realm to the peak, becoming the best among all her direct peers in the Li family.

After coming out of seclusion, she first used the Tianxuan Bi to report the news to her teacher Wei Jin, and then sent someone to look for her father Li Shi.

Although she had always been critical of the sect's use of collateral and other innocent disciples to practice the Yin-Yang Wheel secret technique, they were all her own blood relatives after all, and they would prosper together and suffer together. She was powerless to change that, so she could only cultivate herself and pretend not to see anything.

Although Li Shi is not a qualified sect leader, he can be considered a good father.

All the good in his humanity is only used on his loved ones.

It was a rare occasion for the family to reunite. After receiving the news, he hurried back from the training hall. On the way, he went to the stove to get some spiritual food that Li Shuang liked. When he returned to the house, he saw two sons and two daughters sitting together. The atmosphere did not seem as happy as he had imagined.

Li Shuang has always looked down on her two uneducated and useless brothers, Li Zhang and Li Han, and also looked down on her elder sister who only indulged and shielded them.

So when he found out that he had been in seclusion for half a year but his two younger brothers had made no progress in their cultivation, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"It's fine that you don't make progress all day, but you even dare to blatantly ignore the sect rules and go in and out of the outer courtyard without permission to cause trouble everywhere. What do you rely on? Isn't it just your identity as the son of the Juyun Sect's Sect Master?!"

"But how long can this identity accompany you?!"

"The sect now looks prosperous on the surface, but in reality it is already in turmoil and has fallen into decline. I'm afraid that our thousand-year foundation will not last more than a few decades. Once the Immortal Sect Alliance finds out that we are practicing secret techniques, the consequences will be disastrous."

Li Shuang looked at Li Zhang and Li Han who were standing opposite him with their heads down and keeping silent. She sighed deeply and softened her tone suddenly, as if she had made a decision. "Do you know why the sect suddenly decided to practice the Yin-Yang Wheel Secret Technique a hundred years ago?!"

The two heads shook.

"Because our ancestor..."

However, before Li Shuang could finish her words, she was interrupted by Li Shi who suddenly appeared behind her, "Okay Shuang'er, they are still young, so we still need to teach them slowly."

"You're already in your twenties, are you still a child?!" Li Shuang slammed the table fiercely, "What a waste of the precious elixir that the sect worked so hard to refine!"

"Second sister!"

With the support of his father Li Shi, Li Zhang finally dared to speak up. He held his head high and said, "Don't we still have our ancestor? He is at the True Transformation Realm, and the sect has the sacred artifact Yin Yang Wheel in hand. How can we, the younger generation, have the turn to worry about it!"

"What?! Are you still counting on the ancestors to protect the sect for the rest of your life?!"

Seeing him making such unreasonable arguments, Li Shuang felt even angrier. She was about to lose her temper again, but was stopped by her own father again.

"Alright, alright! You just came out of confinement today, why bother getting angry with two brats!" Li Shi took out two plates of fragrant cakes from the food box and piled them in front of Li Shuang, "Try it! Dad made them by hand!"

Li Han, who had always been invisible, also took this opportunity to pour a cup of hot tea and tiptoed to pass it to Li Shuang, "Second... Second sister, please have some tea..."

According to Li Jun, after taking the nourishing pills for three consecutive days, Li Chi's body has almost recovered.

When he returned to the training hall again, Li Chi was still frightened, but fortunately, Qi Luoxing had taught him the experience of smelting blood talismans in detail in the past few days, so this time, he finally successfully passed the test.

But it's strange to say.

During the trial, Li Chi did not grow bone spurs all over his body like Qi Luoxing, but every bone in his body was aching slightly, as if his tarsal bones were being gnawed by millions of fire ants.

After about half an hour, the excruciating pain gradually ended.

He leaned against the wall, looking in astonishment at the dense bone spurs slowly falling off Qi Luoxing's body, finding it extremely shocking.

According to what Qi Luoxing said a few days ago, the secret technique they were practicing at this time came from the Yin-Yang Wheel, but as to what exactly this Yin-Yang Wheel was, the two of them had no idea.

After all, Qi Luoxing only heard the three words "Yin Yang Wheel" from the conversation between Li Shi and Li Shang who were oblivious to their surroundings.

After fully regaining consciousness, Qi Luoxing stood up and leaned against the wall on the other side, closing his eyes to rest.

At this moment, Li Chi had almost recovered. He slowly moved to the other side and silently gave the remaining spiritual energy in his body to Qi Luoxing, just hoping to make him feel better.

As soon as the two leaned against each other, they were attracted by a violent roar.

In the training room right opposite the two of them, Li Chi clearly saw that a head was slowly growing from the back of the neck of a disciple who was wailing in pain.

The head was the same size as a normal head, but it had no eyes, nose, ears, or hair.

On the blood-covered face was a mouth full of sharp fangs, which was twisting and roaring together with its owner, making a shrill roar like a wild beast in the forest.

"Roar……"

The person in charge of this training room is Li Huan, the second elder of Juyun Sect.

He flashed to the side of the mutated disciple, quickly stretched out his hands to grab the other's head, and then twisted it to the left and right with lightning speed. The man's two heads fell down instantly, and his body fell directly to the ground, motionless.

Just when Li Chi thought that everything was over, a few seconds later, the corpse on the ground suddenly stood up in an extremely strange posture.

His two heads were still hanging down, but his body moved extremely quickly. After standing up, he rushed directly towards Li Huan, who was closest to him.

Upon seeing this, Li Huan quickly stepped back a few steps, and with his fingers he made a fire gesture. A blue flame rose from his fingertips and landed on the mutated disciple.

But in the blink of an eye, the man was completely swallowed by the flames and turned into ashes.

Although there was still some distance between him and it, Li Chi still smelled a pungent burnt odor.

He covered his mouth and nose and dry-heaved a few times, his stomach churning.

Last time, he was tortured to death and had no idea what he might face in the experiment.

But today, seeing the miserable state of the experimental disciples, and seeing the cold-blooded and ruthless methods of the management of Juyun Sect, I felt that the hatred in my heart became even deeper.
