Under Yan Li's insistence, Luo Fangshuo had no choice but to bring Yan Li to the Moon Cliff on top of the waterfall at the back of the mountain.
Below them was an underground river that flowed down from the Heaven Lake, passing through a river cave. The Moon Cliff was right above this river cave.
If one took two steps forward, they would be able to see the magnificent scene of three thousand silver waterfalls pouring down.
But even if you beat Yan Li to death, he would not dare to step over it.
"When my father was still alive, he loved to bring me here." Luo Fangshuo stood at the top of the waterfall and looked down. Amidst the rumbling of the water, he said with nostalgia, "He always said, 'Cultivation is like rowing a boat against the current. Cangjian Peak is going against the waterfall, which is especially difficult."
"I don't have much time," Yan Li said in a roundabout way.
"Ah!" Luo Fangshuo quickly turned around. "I couldn't help but …" He pointed at a cave in front of him and said, "It's very quiet here, suitable for seclusion. It's a place where we reflect on our mistakes when we make mistakes."
Yan Li looked in the direction he was pointing and saw an old cave that had been severely weathered. On both sides of the stone door, there was a stone tablet with a line of words engraved on it. It read, "Don't talk about other people's wrongs. Meditate and reflect on your mistakes."
On the stone door, there was another stone tablet with the words "Meditation Cave" carved on it.
He walked over and pushed open the stone door. The cave was filled with light and was completely exposed to his eyes.
The inside of the cave was oval in shape and not very spacious. There was a low table and a few yellow orchids. On the opposite side was a simple bamboo bed without a blanket.
It was plain and simple.
It was suitable for seclusion and poison treatment.
Yan Li showed a satisfied expression. "Thank you."
Luo Fangshuo followed him in and said with a smile, "It's good that you like it, Junior Brother. I was afraid that you would dislike this place."
"It's fine as long as I can cultivate. I don't mind," Yan Li said.
"Then I won't disturb Junior Brother's seclusion anymore. Remember to come back for dinner later." Luo Fangshuo cupped his fists and said, "Goodbye."
Then he left. "Wait, Senior Brother." Yan Li stopped him.
Luo Fangshuo stopped in his tracks, his entire body suddenly trembling.
"Senior Brother?" Yan Li was stunned.
Luo Fangshuo suddenly turned around, and he was so excited that he spoke incoherently. "Great, great, I finally have a Junior Brother. I've always been the youngest, but now I'm not. They can't use this to make fun of me anymore …"
Yan Li could not help but roll his eyes. "They're not making fun of you because of your ranking, right?"
"Junior Brother, what's the matter?" Luo Fangshuo emphasized the word 'Junior Brother', and his face beamed like a plump flower.
"Do you want me to call you Senior Brother from now on?" Luo Fangshuo said with his eyes wide open.
"I joined the sect twenty years earlier than you. Isn't it natural for you to call me Senior Brother?" Luo Fangshuo said with his eyes wide open.
"That's not necessarily true." Yan Li crossed his arms and said in a frivolous manner, "As the saying goes, the skilled are the teachers. The strong are the priority. We are ranked according to our strength. Do you think you can beat me?"
Luo Fangshuo's face turned pale when he heard that he was going to fight. But he still said reluctantly, "You … you can't say that!"
"Cut the crap. If you want me to call you Senior Brother from now on, you have to do me a favor today." Yan Li said.
"What favor?" Luo Fangshuo said.
"I will be in seclusion for two days. Senior Brother, guard the door for me. Don't let anyone in. No matter what happens during this period, you must not open this door. Got it? "
Yan Li didn't allow anyone to interfere. He couldn't find a better candidate now.
Luo Fangshuo was stunned for a moment. "Junior Brother, what are you doing?"
"Don't worry about it. Go and guard the door." Yan Li said.
"Who is the Senior Brother here?" Luo Fangshuo mumbled, but when he thought of fighting with Yan Li, he did not dare. He hurriedly ran out and closed the stone door. "Junior Brother, if there's anything you need help with, just let me know. I'll stand guard outside the door and not let anyone in."
"Okay."
…
Once the stone door was closed, there was almost no light in the cave.
But when the stone door was closed, it also triggered a mechanism. Two wall candles moved out from the left and right side and were automatically lit.
Yan Li took a yellow cattail hassock and sat down. He first took out the items needed to dispel the curse and placed them in front of him.
The first item was naturally the jar that contained the Soul Devouring Butterfly larvae that were responsible for "sucking" blood. It was also the core of dispelling the curse. As soon as he took it out, it kept vibrating.
The jar was not an ordinary one either. It had a talisman attached to it. Actually, the inside of the jar was made according to the principle of "a mustard seed can contain a mountain". When insects entered the jar, they would automatically enter a dormant state to ensure that they could survive in the Cosmos Ring.
But the larvae of the Soul Devouring Butterfly were fierce. Once they left the Interspatial Ring, they would wake up from their dormancy and be ready to eat people at any time.
Next was the Nine Turns Life Extending Pill.
He had seen the effect of this pill with his own eyes. Tang Sanghua relied on this pill to survive. On the trip to Bu Luo City, he accidentally obtained this pill and buried the crucial condition of dispelling the curse. There was always a way.
He solemnly put the jade bottle down and heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, it was the blood ginseng that was full of vitality.
The blood ginseng was stored in a wooden box. This wooden box was also a treasure artifact. It could lock the spiritual energy of the treasure without losing.
When he opened the wooden box, he could not help but see the old but kind eyes of the blood ginseng. At this moment, there was a bit of desolation in the eyes that was about to face a tragic fate. People could not help but feel pity for it.
"Natural selection, survival of the fittest!" He took a deep breath. "Don't blame me."
Then he closed the lid, swept away all distracting thoughts, and sorted out the first part of the plan.
The first step was naturally to use the larvae of the Soul Devouring Butterfly to "draw blood."
Because of the urgency of time, there was no condition to test how strong the larvae's blood-sucking ability was. That was, how long it would take for the blood to be sucked dry. Therefore, the Nine Turns Life Extending Pill could not be taken too early.
There was a risk that the blood would be sucked dry and he would faint before he could take the Life Extending Pill. Therefore, he had to be very careful.
Would the method that only existed in theory work or not?
Let's gamble with our lives!
Yan Li made up his mind and took off the identity ring on his right hand that represented the membership of the Moulin Rouge.
The surroundings were quiet. There was not even a trace of wind. There was only a slight "pop" sound when the candle burned.
The ring was taken off, but nothing happened.
The Black Blood Curse was not triggered?
The medium was not the ring?
Or there was no curse at all?
This judgment was immediately rejected by him, because this was a diagnosis personally made by Su Xingyu.
While he was thinking, his heart suddenly beat with a "dong" sound. It was like thunder in his ears, shaking his eardrums.
Not only his eardrums, but Luo Fangshuo's voice came from outside, "Junior brother, what happened?"
"I'm fine, don't come in!" After Yan Li shouted, he felt that all the blood in his body was boiling, like a raging flame. The energy that came from his blood continued to spread in all directions, and his body swelled up at a visible rate.
