Traveling through the Immortal Realm: Starting from Becoming a Top-Level Furnace Cauldron

Lu Yuguan looked at Li Chongjiu.

"How did you know I was coming?"

Li Chongjiu said nothing, but extended his hand to invite him to sit down and brewed a new cup of tea using the tea set on the stone table.

"Taste it."

Lu Yuguan held the teacup and took a sip.

“It’s really good tea.”

"This is the new tea presented by the Huang family in Jiangnan," Li Chongjiu introduced. "Even if the prince comes, I won't give it to him."

Lu Yuguan stared at Li Chongjiu, as if trying to find some clues from his face.

"Don't look at me like that," Li Chongjiu chuckled, "It was just a coincidence that I guessed you were coming."

"I'm afraid it's not that simple?"

Lu Yuguan put down the warm jade cup.

"Let me guess, how many spies does His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince still have in Kyoto?"

Li Chongjiu shook his head in self-mockery.

"Once my mother dies, I will be the last brick to fall."

"Which side should we lean towards? I'm sure everyone in the court knows."

Lu Yuguan was silent.

That day, Concubine Hua died in the explosion, and he was also present.

He was just attacked by Eunuch Mao and fell into a coma.

"Don't worry," Li Chongjiu murmured, "I just have good relations with a few merchants."

"They deliver goods to the gardens, and at least bring some interesting stories about Kyoto."

After hearing what he said, Lu Yuguan didn't know what to say.

Li Chongjiu took another sip of tea and continued, "Regarding Master Lu's deeds... there has been a lot of buzz these past few days."

Lu Yuguan said in a deep voice: "Those are irrelevant."

"I came here this time to ask you something."

"Mr. Lu, you're too polite," Li Chongjiu pursed his lips and said, "I wonder what it is?"

"About Demonic Cultivator."

"Demon cultivator?"

Li Chongjiu chuckled, "Didn't the battle at Dalang Mountain in Nanzhou completely wipe out all the demonic cultivators?"

"Do not."

Lu Yuguan stared into his eyes.

"Alive."

"At least one person is still alive."

Li Chongjiu's pupils shrank.

"Who?"

"The Great Wei Kingdom in Nanzhou."

"Ji Xian."

Li Chongjiu narrowed his eyes slightly: "Where did you meet her?"

"Remember the portal that the monks from the North investigated?"

"remember."

"This gate can communicate with the outside world, and the Zhongdu Dan League used it to build a medicine garden."

Lu Yuguan told Li Chongjiu everything he knew.

Half an hour later.

The tea on the stone table had already gone cold.

Li Chongjiu's expression was solemn: "According to what you said, the demon cultivators have already mastered the ability to travel through the void."

Lu Yuguan said, "It's almost right."

Li Chongjiu was silent for a moment, then asked, "She dared to appear in the Medicine Realm of the Alchemy Alliance. Isn't she afraid of being hunted down by the cultivators of Zhongdu?"

Lu Yuguan shook his head.

"That's exactly what I wanted to ask."

"Let's not talk about whether Ji Xian has a trump card or not. Her mere presence here is very strange."

"What I want to ask is——"

"What exactly did His Highness the Ninth Prince experience when he was trapped in the Demon Cultivator's Cave?"

Li Chongjiu paused slightly.

Lu Yuguan looked at his expression and did hesitate for a moment.

This question is like a needle.

Puncture those memories that have been deliberately suppressed.

The demonic energy surging in the blood pool, the excruciating pain that tore the soul apart, and the countless whispers and murmurs in the darkness.

Li Chongjiu slowly said, "Do you know who prepared that blood pool?"

"Didn't the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Lord do this for himself?" Lu Yuguan frowned.

"Not for human beings."

"It's for the coffin."

Li Chongjiu's pupils suddenly contracted, and a strange red light suddenly appeared in his left eye!

Not right.

Lu Yuguan took a half step back vigilantly, staring at the man in front of him.

Li Chongjiu's expression was distorted, but after a moment it turned into a charming look.

He looked at Lu Yuguan and said with a smile: "Little Lu Ding...long time no see."

Lu Yuguan frowned.

"Blood Glaze?"

"You still remember me..." Xue Liuli lazily propped up her head, "I'm so unhappy being trapped in this body."

Lu Yuguan asked cautiously, "What are you doing out here? Where's Li Chongjiu?"

"He's tired."

"I have to go back and rest."

Xue Liuli said softly.

Lu Yuguan's fingertips ignited with a fire of will, and he pressed, "I advise you to go back, otherwise don't blame me for being merciless."

"Don't be so reserved," Xue Liuli said in a charming voice, "If you take action, it will be Li Chongjiu who gets hurt, not..."

"ah!!!--"

Before she could finish her words, Lu Yuguan threw the Nianhuo directly at her forehead, causing her to scream in pain.

"You... actually know soul magic?!"

Xue Liuli covered his head and said.

Lu Yuguan calmly withdrew his hand: "Didn't you hear what Li Chongjiu said? I am a fourth-grade alchemist. This amount of mental strength is more than enough to deal with you."

Xue Liuli's expression was distorted.

She suddenly pinched her right wrist, and the joints made a teeth-grinding crackling sound.

"presumptuous……"

"Get out!——"

The jade cup on the stone table suddenly exploded, and the fragments drew a cold light between the two people.

Lu Yuguan's pupils suddenly shrank.

When they parted, the Ninth Prince's soul was already unstable.

Now it seems that the remaining soul of the demon cultivator in his body has shown signs of taking the initiative.

After a while.

Li Chongjiu finally regained his composure.

Lu Yuguan asked, "Who are you?"

Li Chongjiu sat on the stone bench and looked at him quietly.

Lu Yuguan felt a chill rising from his feet. When he looked down, he saw several silver threads crawling on the ground.

"Tear Girl?"

Lu Yuguan took several steps back in an instant.

The Tearful Girl paused for a long time before finally speaking: "She wants to harm you."

"Li Chongjiu asked me to come out and talk to you."

Lu Yuguan's mouth twitched slightly.

No.

You're really lying with your eyes open, right?

How about taking a look at the silk threads on the ground?

The tearful girl said calmly, "I know what you are thinking."

"Don't worry, I am in spirit form now and have no lethality."

Lu Yuguan stared wide-eyed and tugged at the silk thread on the ground. "How do you explain this?"

The tearful girl curled her lips: "Conditioned reflex."

Lu Yuguan: “…”

"Don't you want to know the secret of the blood pool?" The Tearful Lady said, "I can tell you."

Lu Yuguan raised his eyebrows: "You know?"

The Tearful Girl said slowly, "Although I have only been in the Twelve Earthly Demons for a short time, I am highly regarded by the Demon Lord and many matters have been entrusted to me."

"The Ten Thousand Blood Demon Lord prepared the blood pool, seemingly to increase his strength."

"Actually, it's all for one thing."

Lu Yuguan's heart trembled: "What's the matter?"

The Tearful Girl uttered two words calmly.

"Detachment."

"Detachment?"

Lu Yuguan thought carefully but could not guess anything.

The Tearful Girl was not surprised to see this, and instead began to explain: "You see, the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Lord occupied Li Ping's body, and he is related to Li Chongjiu by blood."

"If we use Li Chongjiu's blood as a sacrifice, won't there be a rejection reaction?

Lu Yuguan asked doubtfully, "That makes some sense...but why are you so sure?"

"Don't forget," the Tearful Lady whispered, "I am the product of a blood sacrifice."

Lu Yuguan thought for a moment.

"go on."

"The Ten Thousand Blood Demon Venerable is a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse. Even if his strength isn't at its peak, he can at least escape unscathed from a Golden Core Stage attack..."

"Why did he die under the siege of the Xuanyu Sect cultivators?"

The Tearful Girl asked back.
