Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

"Master!" Li Zhi bowed respectfully to Master Liu.

Then he handed over the Yin Dan in his hand.

After only a few days of not seeing each other, Master Liu seemed to have aged a lot. He reached out to take the Yin Dan handed over by Li Zhi, and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay! Master knows that you act prudently, don't worry."

Seeing Master Liu so old, Li Zhi felt sad. Although Master Liu's attitude towards him had always been strange, Li Zhi couldn't help but said, "Master, take care of yourself!"

Master Liu was stunned for a moment, and a light seemed to flash in his turbid eyes. He tilted his body and placed the Yin Dan in his hand on the table beside him.

"Come, tell me what happened along the way!" said Master Liu.

"Yes!"

Li Zhi did not hide anything this time and told Master Liu everything that happened along the way, because he had many questions he wanted to ask Master Liu. If he kept it secret at this time, Master Liu would probably be able to see through it.

When Master Liu heard what Li Zhi said about the two copper coins sucking out the ghost attached to him, his eyes lit up.

He looked at Li Zhi meaningfully and said, "It seems that the ghost must have caused you to be possessed by this ghost last time."

Li Zhi nodded, he thought so too.

"Let me see that copper coin." said Master Liu.

Li Zhi quickly took out the copper coin and handed it to Master Liu.

Immortal Master Liu took it and looked at it, then he said, "It turns out to be ghost money!"

Seeing that Master Liu knew the origin of the copper coin, Li Zhi quickly asked, "Master, what is ghost money?"

"Haha, ghost money, ghost money, it's naturally money for ghosts to use."

Immortal Master Liu said: "This item is useless to mortals, but if you have the chance to enter the underworld, you can use it."

Li Zhi rolled his eyes when he heard that. Who would go to the underworld for no reason? Wouldn't you be dead if you went to the underworld?

Master Liu looked at Li Zhi's expression. Although he didn't know what he was thinking, he could roughly guess it. He laughed and said, "Don't underestimate the usefulness of this thing in the underworld. But you can find another way to use it to collect ghosts. You are quite smart."

Seeing Master Liu say this, Li Zhi knew that his idea was feasible, so he immediately said, "But why can't I fully control the little ghost after it entered the copper coin?"

Master Liu was not surprised at all. He said, "This is natural. The copper coin cuts off most of your induction and connection with the little ghost, so it is naturally difficult to perfectly control and drive the little ghost."

"How can this problem be solved?" Li Zhi asked. This was what he wanted to know most.

Immortal Master Liu smiled and said, "You just need to refine the copper coin and strengthen your connection with the little ghost."

Hearing that there was a solution to the problem that had been bothering him, Li Zhi excitedly asked, "Then how do we refine the copper coins, and how do we strengthen the connection with the little ghost?"

"Refining is not difficult. I will teach you the refining formula and hand seals. You can also refine the black sword at the same time. As for the little ghost..." Master Liu paused.

Li Zhi asked anxiously: "What's wrong? Is there any trouble?"

Master Liu frowned and said, "If you want to deepen the connection with the little ghost, you can only feed it with your own blood..."

Li Zhi frowned when he heard that. He didn't object to being fed with blood. After all, his black sword also needed to be stimulated by blood.

But he didn't know how much he needed to feed, and he didn't want to cause himself to lose too much blood just to feed these little ghosts.

He asked, "How much blood and energy do you need to feed it?"

"Not much, just one drop a day is enough."

Master Liu's words made Li Zhi breathe a sigh of relief. In this world where demons and monsters are rampant, spending a few points of blood a day to gain one more support is undoubtedly extremely cost-effective.

The heavy weight in his heart was finally put down, and the expression on Li Zhi's face eased a little. He began to talk about what happened later. When talking about Longhu Mountain and the little Taoist priest, he couldn't help but ask, "Master, did Xiaoyao Mountain have any conflicts with Longhu Mountain? Why did the little Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain beat us up when he heard that we were from Xiaoyao Mountain?"

"Xiaoyao Mountain is indeed at odds with Longhu Mountain. The reason involves many secrets, so I am not in a position to say much. You just need to know that if you meet someone from Longhu Mountain, you can either fight or run away." Master Liu did not say much, but just reminded Li Zhi lightly.

Seeing this, Li Zhi did not continue to ask, but asked curiously: "Since Zhang Tianshi from Longhu Mountain is the imperial teacher, why didn't the emperor let him treat him directly?"

"Longhu Mountain is not good at refining elixirs to cure diseases. Longhu Mountain mainly practices talismans and thunder magic, as well as exorcising evil spirits. They have not yet explored the principles of elixir, so naturally they have no idea where to start." said Master Liu.

"I see." Li Zhi nodded, and then continued to talk about the cat demon he encountered later.

When Master Liu heard that Li Zhi had killed a great demon with a sword, he just nodded slightly without any expression on his face, which made Li Zhi feel a little frustrated.

That was a monster that had survived a human disaster! And I was just a rookie who had practiced for less than two and a half years.

"For a rookie who has only learned sword skills and magic for a month and can kill this kind of monster, shouldn't you praise him a little?" Li Zhi said with a dark face.

Immortal Master Liu sneered at the words and said, "I would not even bother to kill this kind of monster!"

Li Zhigang wanted to say that you are bragging, but when he thought about Master Liu's sword ball flying sword technique, which really did not require any action, just open your mouth, he lost his temper.

Immortal Master Liu continued, "However, your idea is very good. Using the black sword to shake his mind, and then using the five ghosts to help defeat him one by one, is quite remarkable."

Finally getting praise from Master Liu, Li Zhi smiled happily.

After Master Liu spoke to Li Zhi for a few more words, he passed the refining technique to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi did not hide anything and directly refined the remaining five copper coins in front of Master Liu.

After the refining was completed, Li Zhi felt that there seemed to be a vague connection between himself and the copper coin.

The five copper coins were still rusty, with no change.

However, refining is not a matter of a day or two. The kind of magic weapon in novels that can immediately achieve unity of mind and body after refining does not exist. Master Liu told Li Zhi that refining requires years of accumulation, day after day of refining, until one can use it as easily as one's own arm.

After Li Zhi refined the five copper coins, he was about to refine the black sword as well, but unexpectedly, he almost fell down as he stood up.

He held on to the table beside him.

Immortal Master Liu also came forward and helped Li Zhi sit down. He said, "Refining is very demanding. Take a break first."

Li Zhi didn't try to be brave after hearing that, and just sat down to rest for a while.

Sitting there bored, Li Zhi started chatting with Master Liu, and he came to the point that Master Liu's main mission in coming to the He Mansion was to refine pills.

"Master, when are we going to make the elixir?" Li Zhi asked.

Immortal Master Liu said, "If you have rested well, you can practice tonight."

Li Zhi was startled and asked in surprise: "So fast?"

"How can it be fast? Lord He invited me here for almost half a year, and the Fuyang Pill has not been refined yet. Lord He is also worried!" Master Liu said helplessly. He was also being urged by Lord He.

Thinking of those people in the Dancai Room, after a month of contact, Li Zhi had become quite familiar with them. Even Li Si and others, with whom he had fought before, were now polite to Li Zhi. Now, thinking that he would send them to their death with his own hands, he felt bad.

But Li Zhi is not a foolish person. Now he himself cannot even call himself safe, let alone save others.

He felt a little upset, but he didn't show it on his face. He asked in a low voice, "Master, what is the chance of refining the elixir this time?"

Master Liu pointed at the Yin Dan that Li Zhi brought back and said, "With this, the chances of success this time will be greatly increased."

Li Zhi nodded after hearing this and felt better. Since he couldn't save all of them, he would try to save as many as possible!

"Then I'll go make some preparations first." Li Zhi didn't want to stay here any longer, so he stood up and said goodbye to Master Liu and left.

Arriving at the door of the alchemy room, Li Zhi was a little dazed.

He had the same feeling a month ago, but at that time he pushed the door open and had a fight with Zhang San.

I wonder if anyone will challenge him to a fight after he pushes the door open this time?

Li Zhi laughed at himself, then opened the door and stepped in.

After Li Zhi left Master Liu's room, Master Liu's pale face revealed a sinister smile.

"Do you want to use that damn money to take that kid's soul? Do you want to take over that kid's body?"

"Ha! I thought I met a fellow traveler, but I didn't expect him to be just a stupid fellow!"

Immortal Master Liu's chilling voice seemed to come from the Netherworld, carrying an endless chill that could not be dissipated for a long time...
