Chapter 225: Immortal Glow in Muscles and Organs

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and a cool breeze blew.

Li Youyi only felt that the things and people in this world were being pushed forward by various interests, and no one could hope to control their own destiny.

"Jiang Ning is afraid she doesn't look up to Yao Qian," he said faintly.

Yang Qingxi laughed: "You are completely wrong. There are really not many women in this world who can refuse Yao Qian. In terms of character, talent, appearance, aptitude, temperament, and conversation, he is the world's top grade. A heaven-favored child who entered Longevity in his prime, except for Brother Zuoqiu Ling, the next one should be him, and it's even possible he has already broken through to Longevity."

"A Longevity Realm giant, an immortal figure transcending life and death. You are not Jiang Ning, so why do you think she doesn't look up to him?"

"The aptitude of having all silver meridians is indeed extraordinary. But it's just aptitude; there are many variables in whether one can reach the Longevity Realm in the future."

"It's just that the Longevity Pill and Dragon Seed came out at the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival, giving us young Wu Xiu a chance to reach the sky in one step... This opportunity has already made everyone fight with their lives!"

"On this path of cultivation, every major realm is a life-and-death barrier, and it's as difficult as ascending to heaven."

"Look at the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival; the young generation of experts is like clouds, all extraordinary, all standing at the peak of the Five Seas Realm, but among them, there must be some who will never reach the Dao Seed Realm in their entire lives."

Li Youyi said: "You actually admit Yao Qian's character?"

"It's not that I admit it; it's that the people of the world admit it."

Yang Qingxi said: "Do you know why I can tell you, an opponent, about the Sui Sect's family scandal? Because even if you say it out, no one will believe you; they will only think you are jealous, making low-level attacks and retaliation, and spreading rumors and slander."

"Can a person's character built over decades be destroyed by a word from you? Let alone you, even if the Sect Master himself told the truth, the people of the world would probably suspect whether the Sect Master was jealous of the virtuous and capable."

"Moreover, if the Second Palace Master is involved, you will definitely be on a dead end."

"So if you want to die, just go ahead and spread it. Anyway, at that time, I won't admit a single word."

"Guess again, when the time comes, will the Jiang family kill you or believe you?"

Li Youyi realized that the Due Temple might not know the truth about Yang Qingchan's death at all; after all, she was not an invitation holder. Yao Qian dared to do this, he must be sure that no one in the city would know.

The so-called immortal masters and patrol immortal envoys were just cultivators with powerful cultivation, not true immortals, and could not know everything.

Li Youyi said: "You could have not told me these things! Perhaps I would have really fallen into the trap and used Yang Qingchan's death as an issue to deal with Yao Qian. Then kill a hundred enemies and lose a thousand of my own."

Yang Qingxi hugged her knees, her beautiful eyes looking at the city and streets below the mountain: "Li Youyi... let's make peace? I don't want to be your enemy anymore!"

"Afraid?" Li Youyi said.

"A little."

Yang Qingxi added: "But more importantly, since we can sit down and talk, why bother with killing?"

Li Youyi said: "If I were still a Gushing Spring Realm Wu Xiu, would you give me the qualification to talk?"

"When you are high above, killing people is like stepping on an ant."

"Feeling like you can't win, so you make peace. Where in the world is there such a good thing?"

Yang Qingxi said: "So, I dare not wait any longer! I'm afraid that if I wait any longer, there won't even be a possibility of making peace. Right now, I and the Sui Sect still have the opportunity and strength to kill you, so we have the qualification to make peace. Isn't that right?"

Li Youyi saw that her expression was serious, so he also talked to her seriously: "The grievances between the Sui Sect and the Jiuli clan, let's not mention them for now. You sent people to hunt me down, hired assassins to deal with me, and even personally wanted to take my life, and I narrowly escaped death several times. Do you think this can be lightly brushed aside?"

"Then you also slapped me; no one has ever slapped me like that. If it were someone else, I would definitely make them die a miserable death, so this slap is worth a life," Yang Qingxi said.

Li Youyi was speechless, too lazy to argue with her about right and wrong: "Then let's first offset the grievance of you sending people to hunt me down outside Jiuli City."

"It can actually be offset... why don't you slap me a few more times? I'll pay it off as soon as possible," Yang Qingxi said, her big eyes smiling as she looked at him.

"..."

Li Youyi jumped off the eaves and pushed the door to return to the guest hall.

There was no way to continue chatting; Yang Qingxi was full of schemes, and the idea of resolving grievances might not be false, but she could become the leader of this generation of the Sui Sect at a young age, and all external expressions were just means!

Li Youyi prepared to have a good night's rest.

During this time, he had been cultivating, and his mental state had shown signs of fatigue.

Ultimately, he was a mortal and couldn't go without sleep forever.

Seeing that this move could make Li Youyi suffer a crushing defeat, she pressed on. Yang Qingxi chased into the guest hall like a cool breeze, took the opportunity to close the door, and also lay on the bed, squeezing Li Youyi inside: "Make some room!"

"Are you crazy?"

Li Youyi frowned, sat up, and looked at her.

Yang Qingxi lay flat on the bed, her beautiful eyes gazing at the roof, her hands on her lower abdomen, returning the words he had just said: "You don't think that just because we are lying on one bed, we are on the same path, do you? I am severely injured; you want me to sleep on the floor? Moreover, we must stay in one room so that if any changes occur, we can look after each other. In the current Qiuzhouzhoucheng, there is no place that is absolutely safe."

Li Youyi didn't want to say more, turned to the inside, and continued to sleep.

Behind him, Yang Qingxi's voice rang in his ear: "I can let you hit me, but you have to wait a bit; I'm severely injured now and afraid I won't be able to bear it."

Li Youyi was so annoyed by her that he had no sleepiness at all, and really wanted to go out to blow the cool breeze, so he turned around and said: "To make peace, fine. Give money, give resources; as long as the price is right, everything can be talked about, and I don't want to be watched by Sui Sect experts all the time."

"Name a price," Yang Qingxi said.

Li Youyi named an astronomical price: "Five million Gushing Spring coins."

"You really dare to think; even if I sold myself, I wouldn't be able to sell for that price. If I had five million Gushing Spring coins, I would directly hire a Longevity Realm giant to strike and beat you into powder; you must die thoroughly."

After a long silence, Yang Qingxi offered a price: "Five times, I'll let you hit me five times."

Li Youyi knew she was deliberately teasing him, and said gravely: "Yang Qingxi, do you really think you can decide whether we can make peace? After the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival, everyone will return to their proper positions."

"When you have a Dao Seed Realm Wu Xiu as a backer, will you still be as wary of me as you are now? Will you still have such a low posture?"

Yang Qingxi said: "What you said is not false at all! But after the Sui Sect relies on the imperial court, everyone actually doesn't have such sharp contradictions. Li Youyi, I know your talent and ability better than anyone in the world, because I am the only one who, as an opponent, has watched you grow up step by step. This overwhelming pressure and your tenacious vitality and fighting spirit have already made me see the outline of a young Son of Heaven."

"I thought about it repeatedly during the day today, if I can't make peace with you now. Ten years later, a hundred years later, what height will you be at, and can the Sui Sect bear the consequences?"

"Continuing to kill you has the risk of failure. But making peace has no risk at all."

"I indeed cannot change the will of the Sui Sect's top management, but as long as I get a Dragon Seed and make rapid progress in the Dao Seed Realm, then the affairs of the Sui Sect will definitely be my responsibility."

"Yao Qian wants to kill you, and you are very dangerous, but I can help you to a certain extent. Don't you think my chips are sufficient?"

Li Youyi didn't fully believe her words, but gave her a chance, dropped a "you owe me five million Gushing Spring coins," and fell asleep.

In a daze, he heard Yang Qingxi say: "That's one million Gushing Spring coins per time. If I can't pay it back, let's offset it like this!"

Four days later.

The twelfth day of the first lunar month.

Li Youyi finished tempering and absorbing a jin of Immortal Soil last night, and finally, at noon today, his muscles and organs underwent a violent transformation, and his toughness and strength took a big step forward.

Strands of immortal mist dissipated from his muscles and organs, swirling and twisting endlessly.

The second step of the physical body was completed!

He was a big step closer to the Dao Body.

Only missing the use of God Stove Wood to refine tendons and shape skin.

Li Youyi sat cross-legged on the ground and threw a punch using only physical strength.

"Boom!"

With the punch, the air exploded.

The airflow turned into a visible impact, bombarding the formation light gauze in the room, shaking it endlessly.

"Physical strength has increased by a large margin, and organ strength has increased. Now, fighting Hua Yuzi again should be a bit easier. I just don't know how much gap there is with figures at the successor level?"

Five days ago, just by fighting Hua Yuzi once, Li Youyi was severely injured.

Experts at the successor level also shape their physical bodies. So Li Youyi didn't think it was so easy to catch up.

However, he used Immortal Soil to shape his muscles and organs, so his advantage was not small.

Yang Qingxi's injuries had recovered by five or six tenths, and even the scars from her external injuries had disappeared. She was finally no longer willing to hide in Evergreen Temple and pulled Li Youyi down the mountain to inquire about the current situation in the city.

"There are only three days left until the Lantern Festival. You are actually so calm? You don't want to seize a Dragon Seed Ticket and Dragon Bone Ticket?"

The two came to the inner city of the Eastern City and entered a closed-style teahouse where young Wu Xiu gathered; the latest news about the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival was spread here every day.

Li Youyi used the Disguise Technique, while Yang Qingxi wore a veil and a bamboo hat.

Sitting on the second floor, Yang Qingxi added: "Even if it's just a piece of dragon bone, if refined into the body, physical strength and intensity can fight Dao Seed Realm Wu Xiu instantly. It is also infinitely beneficial for cultivating the Longevity Body in the future."

"Dragon bone is the bone of a flying dragon killed by the Mist Son of Heaven back then; it is said to be a creature at the Son of Heaven level, with full internal activity and extremely powerful energy."

Li Youyi became interested and asked: "What if you refine two pieces?"

Yang Qingxi shook her head gently: "Then I don't know! I only know that I must fight for the dragon bone and dragon seed in this Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival. If I win, I will have a place for the next ten years. Otherwise, I will never be able to keep up with the pace of these Wu Xiu of the same generation!"

"What about the Longevity Pill?" Li Youyi said.

Yang Qingxi rolled her eyes at him: "Do you think there are many opportunities like killing Hua Yuzi? Even if you killed Hua Yuzi, have you seen the Longevity Pill? Just wait and see, all Wu Xiu holding Longevity Pills under Luan Sheng Lin You, Ge Xiantong, and Brother Zuoqiu Hong will have a very difficult time in the next three days."
