0129: Ethereal Root

The door was open, and there was a strong smell of Dan Fire refining coming from the room.

Li Changyuan scoffed.

"Hmm-hmm-"

looked coldly at the person sitting on the wall in the deepest part of the room, that guy was Qi Gong.

Its shadow covered half of his body, and Li Changyuan could hardly see Qi Gong's appearance.

After entering the house, the door behind Li Changyuan automatically began to close, but when it was halfway closed, Qi Gong beckoned his hand and stopped the door halfway.

In the room, there is still a little light shining in.

Li Changyuan stepped forward, neither saluting nor being unceremonious. The whisper was stern:

"In the past two months, you've dug up a lot of monks' spiritual roots."

Qi Gong was leisurely, softly hoarse and low:

"What does it have to do with you?"

"What does it have to do with me? Hehehe, look at what you said-"

Li Changyuan raised his head, changed from a low voice, to a stern voice, and raised his voice:

"Mr. Master, the eldest grandson Qun, can use the Master's card to town your Yuanye Immortal Sect, do you think! I can't use the brand of the scholar to town your district Immortal Sect Elder? ”

Qi Gong's cold anger gradually revealed, causing Li Changyuan's back to chill, and listen to it:

"You dare?"

Li Changyuan replied with spiritual pressure to deter, and the spiritual power overflowed from all over his body, and in an instant, all the tables and chairs in the room were flying, and the terrifying and vast coercion filled every corner of the house:

"Why don't you dare, you still think that I am disdainful of competing with a rotten person like you?"

Qi Gong was instantly overwhelmed by Li Changyuan's spiritual power, and after only a moment, Qi Gong was firmly on the main seat, but he was gradually suppressed to the point that he had difficulty breathing and his body trembled.

Li Changyuan saw that his arm was exposed to the bright vision, and the green tendons burst out, and he learned that if he pressed it again, Qi Gong might not be able to explode his muscles directly and die.

Although in Li Changyuan's eyes, it is inevitable that he will be guilty of death.

But now is not the time to kill him.

Li Changyuan restrained the spiritual pressure, so that Qi Gong was immediately relieved and gradually resumed his breathing.

"I heardβ€”"

Li Changyuan said the purpose of this:

"You still have a daughter?"

Qi Gong immediately became vigilant:

"No, who did you listen to?"

Li Changyuan knew that he was lying when he heard Qi Gong's panicked tone, and ignored Qi Gong's lies, Li Changyuan continued to talk to himself:

"When did Geng Jue last invite me to tea? Ah, it seems that it has been a while, I don't know if he is busy with things there, let's go to Yuanye Immortal Sect again when he has time, maybe Geng Jue knows the private affairs of the four elders. After allβ€”

The four elders themselves did not know that they had a daughter. ”

Qi Gong made it clear that this Li Changyuan was clearly trying to take care of his weakness.

Living in Linyuan City for so long, harming so many casual cultivators, and even those young and talented monks who have not yet had time to find a backer, all those who have stepped into Linyuan City may have a wood spirit root, and they are all Qi Gong Huohuo.

Qi Gong also couldn't sleep well day and night, firstly, he had to be condemned by his conscience, and secondly, in order to prolong the life of his only daughter, he had no other way but to continue to do this kind of dirty thing.

"What exactly do you want, revenge or money? Or gold and silver, or status? ”

Qi Gong asked complainingly.

Li Changyuan's answer surprised Qi Gong very much:

"Where's your daughter, take me to see it."

"Why are you going to see my daughter?"

Li Changyuan also replied without thinking:

"If you can help, you are an elder of the Immortal Sect, you won't be unable to accept even a small condition, right?"

"What conditions."

"It depends on the mood, I can help it."

Qi Gong heard that his daughter might be saved, so how could he care about losing face, and his attitude and tone towards Li Changyuan immediately became much more friendly.

I saw Qi Gong get up and leave his seat, walk down the steps and come to Li Changyuan, and his complete appearance was also presented in front of Li Changyuan's vision.

"...... your face?"

Li Changyuan was shocked, the fourth elder of the Immortal Sect in front of him, Qi Gong, half of his face seemed to be scorched by fire, shrunken and shriveled, and even the corner of his jaw showed some signs of erosion.

Qi Gong's eyes were downcast, and he explained in a whisper:

"Half a year ago, I refined medicine for my daughter for the first time, and the monk's living heart was thrown into the alchemy furnace with the spiritual root attached to it, and I didn't expect that the heart was still attached to the original owner's grievances. At that time, a furnace of pseudo-elixir was refined for three days and three nights, and when I was exhausted to open the furnace, I was not careful, and I was injured by the resentment that came out of the alchemy furnace, resulting in ......"

'Tut-tut. ’

Li Changyuan can't say his sympathy clearly, after all, this is also his own fault.

"Okay, I won't care about your past, lead the way."

"yes, okay."

Qi Gong waved his hand, took out a white plastic mask from his storage ring, put it on, and went out.

Li Changyuan followed behind Qi Gong and flew in the sky, direction-

Go to Yuanye Immortal Sect.

'His daughter is actually in Yuanye Immortal Sect? In this way, the people in the Immortal Sect actually knew what Qi Gong had done? ’

But no one restrained Qi Gong......

Tsk, these people are all arrogant and indulgent, and they don't care about the lives of low-level monks.

After flying out of Linyuan City, the scholars in the academy were still sorting out the documents on their desks, busy with this and that, either cleaning or doing their own homework.

And the scattered cultivators and people in the city gradually spread the praises, saying that there were demon cultivators entering the city, and the news quickly spread throughout Linyuan City, and even powerful monks took the initiative to form a team to check in the city.

But at this time, the wind rose, and the 'demon cultivator' they didn't know what to say in their mouths had already left Linyuan City with Qi Gong.

After a while, Li Changyuan and Qi Gong came to the mountain gate at the foot of Yuanye Xianzong Mountain.

Only then did he enter the enchantment of the Great Array of Protectors, Li Changyuan should have followed Qi Gong to go somewhere to meet and check the condition of Qi Gong's precious daughter.

It didn't take long to fly, but in just two minutes, a familiar voice came from afar, and then, Changsun Qun arrived:

"Li Changyuan! ——”

Li Changyuan frowned uncomfortably, and Qi Gong in front of him also stopped, waiting for Li Changyuan to catch up with his 'teacher'.

The eldest grandson immediately rushed to Li Changyuan, his stunned gaze moved around, and his breath was sure that it was on Li Changyuan, so he finally looked back at Li Changyuan, and greeted excitedly and in surprise:

"Ah, it's you, boy?"

"Hmm......"

"You're a boy! You're back, where have you been for more than two months? ”

Li Changyuan replied perfunctorily, and his eyes drifted into the distance:

"I just discussed it with you, I went to the snake demon tomb, and then I came back yesterday."

"Are you really Li Changyuan?"

After the eldest grandson group approached Li Changyuan, he suddenly asked like this.

Seeing that the eldest grandson group was very close to him, his eyes kept looking at Li Changyuan, Li Changyuan was slightly disgusted, I don't know what it means to give or not to kiss, this is almost close to the face.

Li Changyuan squinted contemptuously, stepped back a position, and replied:

"Yes, what, something? Or do I have mosquitoes on my face? ”

The eldest grandson group looked very worried, but seeing Li Changyuan's unhappy appearance, he had a bit of his previous personality, which made the eldest grandson group feel a little more relieved.

Then, the eldest grandson group smiled and pretended to be confused:

"Hehe, no, no, it's just that when you come back from a trip, your face has turned a lot whiter, and it's more, uh, ......, cough, no, no, hehe."

Li Changyuan was suspicious, but he didn't say it explicitly, seeing that the eldest grandson group was so stupid and pretending, what was there that was difficult to say in front of outsiders?

But it shouldn't be urgent, otherwise this eldest grandson group will definitely pull himself aside and say it.

"That'sβ€”"

Li Changyuan's false seriousness:

"I'll go back to the school later, now this senior Qi Gong has a request for me, I want to go over with him first."

The eldest grandson group glanced at Qi Gong in front of him, Qi Gong looked at him indifferently, and immediately looked away.

The eldest grandson group knew in his heart, what could Qi Gong do to ask others?

It's just for his only precious daughter.

I didn't think that in a few months, Li Changyuan could have such a great ability, and he could actually make a great power in the mortal realm ask for himself.

After watching for a while, the eldest grandson group did not forcibly keep people, and pretended to be polite and echoed:

"Ah okay, you go first, old man, I'll wait for you when I go back to school."

After the eldest grandson group finished speaking, he left to leave, Li Changyuan flashed something in his mind, and hurriedly turned around and shouted at the eldest grandson group who was not far away:

"Hey, remember to help me remove the missing person notice!"

The eldest grandson responded from afar:

"I know, the old man will tell me."

After seeing the eldest grandson group leave, Li Changyuan greeted Qi Gong:

"Let's go, hurry."

"Hmm."

Qi Gong took Li Changyuan to another mountain, this is not the mountain that Li Changyuan has been to before, compared to Geng Jue's mountain, this place is shorter.

There is a mansion on the top of the hill, and a signboard hangs at the gate: Four Elders' House.

Compared with Geng Jue's main hall, although Qi Gong's mansion is not very good-looking, it is not very majestic, but there is an extra layer of enchantment around the outer courtyard, which seems to be quite cautious, and when Qi Gong has not returned to the sect, as long as someone touches the enchantment, Qi Gong will immediately notice it.

For Li Changyuan, this kind of enchantment is just a simple formation that can be broken with a wave of his hand, and it is not very powerful.

But after entering, he saw all kinds of dense array stones under the wall next to the courtyard wall, as well as the sunken wood array eye set up in the middle house, Li Changyuan could see that this Qi Gong was still very careful about the design of the enchantment.

His precious daughter was placed in his own courtyard mansion.

When I went in and passed the front yard and walked into the house, not only did the door close at the door, but there was another layer of enchantment after pushing the door open.

……

Until I walked through two doors in a row, a hidden hut on the right-hand side was an almost airtight space, covering an area of no more than ten square meters.

There is only one bed and one bedside table.

Lying flat on the gray cloth sheets on the bed was his daughter, who seemed to be wrinkled and skinny, covered with a thin layer of sheets, and her hands were exposed on the sheets, and her arms were as thin as the sticks of firewood piled up under the wall of the outer courtyard of the farmhouse.

His arms were as thin as Li Changyuan's wrists.

"Who is she?"

Li Changyuan asked softly, and Qi Gong also nodded softly in response:

"Yes, I have been using the pill to hang my life, but for a long time, the same pill has little effect, and it doesn't even have any effect, and if it goes on like this, I won't live for more than two months......"

"You go out first."

Li Changyuan commanded.

At first glance, Qi Gong immediately looked a little surprised, what was there between his father and daughter, what means did Li Changyuan want to use, and he wanted to avoid being a father.

Could it be that he is making an excuse to take revenge on his daughter?

Seeing that Qi Gong was in place, his expression was in a trance, Li Changyuan let out a trace of demonic energy, and said in a low voice:

"If I have any bad intentions, I'm afraid that even Geng Jue can't stop me, do I need to work as hard as you?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ That,"

Qi Gong immediately bent over, and his attitude and tone were very humble:

"My daughter, I'll leave it to you."

"Well, whether it can be successful or not, the sin is not mine, and I can try as much as I can."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Okay, you know. ”

After answering the question, Qi Gong exited the room and closed the door with him.

The room was quiet, only Li Changyuan and this 'dry corpse' lying on the bed.

Walking forward, Li Changyuan, who was standing beside the bed, asked:

"What's your name?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The woman was hoarse and hissed, her eyelids couldn't be opened, and she couldn't spit out half a word when she opened her mouth slowly.

Li Changyuan frowned slightly, raised one hand, stretched out to the woman's body and placed it in the air, and unfolded his divine sense to scan the woman's physical condition-

'The organs in the body are still neat, but they are not healthy, and most of them are depleted because they are not nourished by spiritual energy. The spiritual root is ......, and the spiritual root is still there, but it is attached to the heart, and it has long become a decaying thing, and it has been corrupting the heart and the blood veins of the whole body in the past few years. ’

This kind of illness, if it is obtained by ordinary monks, will die within half a year from the beginning of the decay of the spiritual root.

This woman relied on Qi Gong's pseudo-elixir to continue her life, and it was a miracle that she could survive until now.

So...... How?

There was only one way Li Changyuan could think of: first use the breath of heavenly fire to burn the rotten things in her body, and then use the spirit mother and demon heart to combine heavenly fire to help her reforge the organs in her body.

But the most important thing is the culprit in the body: the spiritual root.

If you don't uproot the decaying spiritual roots, even if the recast viscera can be used, you will definitely end up in such a situation in the future.

'Hmm......'

If you uproot the spiritual root, you have to connect it to the heart......

Isn't that just taking her life?

Seeing that her body is so thin now, her spirit is haggard, and her energy is insufficient, and if there is any big movement, I am afraid she can afford it.

Troublesome, think about it, feel troublesome, why is there no other way, such as......

"Why don't you try a crazier way to get her soul out first?" ’

……

As soon as the eldest grandson group went, he did not return to Linyuan City directly, but went to Dragon Palace City.

In order to remove those missing person notices.

Geng Jue, the sect leader in the Yuanye Immortal Sect, after receiving the news from the eldest grandson, quickly came to the head of Qi Gong Mountain, and at this time, Qi Gong was pacing back and forth in the open space outside the courtyard.

Seeing the arrival of the sect master, Qi Gong immediately looked over, and quickly stepped forward and took off his mask-

"Eh, eh!"

Geng Jue raised his hand and hurriedly signaled Qi Gong not to take off his mask:

"What are you doing, the old decay has a grudge against you, you won't come back for a few months and a half, and you will be disgusted when you come back?"

"No, I don't dare."

Geng Jue sniffed a strange breath coming out of the courtyard behind Qi Gong, and there was a few traces of breath in the mixture, similar to Li Changyuan in Geng Jue's impression, so he looked at it and felt it, and asked Qi Gong with a solemn face:

"Inside...... Is that the kid surnamed Li? ”

"It's Li Changyuan Wensheng."

"Tut-tut, you, you, alas-"

Geng Jue suddenly sighed and shook his head, he hated Qi Gong as if iron was not made of steel, Qi Gong was puzzled, and asked Geng Jue, who had already turned his back:

"Sect Master, what did I do wrong, or what am I sorry for the sect?"

Not to mention the matter of Qi Gong digging people's spiritual roots in Linyuan City, and the matter of digging spiritual roots, Qi Gong has already stated that he will never say that he is the elder of Yuanye Immortal Sect, nor will he mention that he has anything to do with this sect.

But if Geng Jue wants to pursue this matter again, Qi Gong is also willing to be punished.

It's a pity that Geng Jue opened his mouth and didn't mention this matter:

"Fourth, fourth, you're really confused, let you do bad things, do those dirty things, you can't understand what you do, why did you provoke such a big devil?"

Qi Gong had a bitter face, and what the sect master said made Qi Gong very confused:

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The Big Devil? ”

"Didn't you notice the demonic aura on that kid surnamed Li?"

"Half an hour ago, when he returned to Linyuan City to look for me, I was already aware of it."

Geng Jue then asked:

"Then you didn't talk about what spiritual roots people had?"

Qi Gong thought for a moment, then replied:

"I remember that the eldest grandson said that it was ...... Fire Spirit Root? ”

"Ahh

Geng Jue suddenly scolded angrily:

"Silly dick! People are ethereal roots, ethereal roots! The ethereal root that has not been encountered in 10,000 years, you are going to blow it up! ”

……

In another place, in the city of Ryugong,

In the Qianming School in the city, the two masters met face-to-face for a discussion.

The master to whom Dragon Palace City belonged, responded with a solemn expression to the end of the last sentence of the eldest grandson:

"So, you've confirmed that the student's ethereal root...... Is it for 'God's damnation'? ”
