"Phew …" Meng Qi exhaled softly and looked down at her palm.
The jade slip was lying on it obediently, and it looked the same as before. Only the bright red blood line in the center of the yellow jade slip had become a lot lighter.
Meng Qi's mind moved, and her spiritual consciousness entered her Spiritual Sea.
There, a jade slip that was almost exactly the same as the one in her palm was completely wrapped in spiritual energy, slowly floating up and down.
In the center of the jade slip, there was still a bright red blood line.
When she held the jade slip just now, she could hear the distant sound coming from the jade slip. At this time, she was relying on her spiritual consciousness to sense it, and she felt that she could hear it more clearly.
The blood line in the jade slip seemed to have become alive. The blood line was like a blood vessel, and Meng Qi could even feel the blood in the blood line begin to flow again.
Meng Qi carefully separated a strand of her spiritual consciousness and slowly touched the jade slip.
As soon as her spiritual consciousness touched the jade slip, it retracted as if it was scalded.
The jade slip rolled in the air above her Spiritual Sea. It was obviously a dead object, but Meng Qi felt that the other party seemed to be looking at it proudly.
Meng Qi snorted softly, and her spiritual consciousness divided into eight strands, wrapping around the jade slip from all directions.
This time, under her control, the strands of spiritual consciousness wrapped around the jade slip almost rudely.
As soon as her spiritual consciousness touched the jade slip, she heard a "dong" sound in her ears.
The sound was not loud, and it was a little far away, as if someone was standing in the vast world, holding a drumstick and hitting a big leather drum heavily.
The jade slip wriggled and rolled again, as if it was trying to escape from Meng Qi's Divine Sense.
Meng Qi simply sent out a strand of spiritual consciousness, which again divided into eight strands, wrapping around the jade slip.
Dong.
Dong, dong, dong …
This time, she heard it more clearly.
It was not the beating of a drum, but the beating of something's heart. Beat after beat, slow, lively, and powerful.
Accompanied by the sound of this heartbeat, Meng Qi felt as if a scroll of painting had unfolded in front of her eyes.
There were only a few strokes in the painting, but the landscape was vivid on the paper.
Surrounded by towering mountains, a huge lake reflected the stars. Stars twinkled, and there seemed to be clouds lingering above the mountains.
In the sky, there were seven stars that were obviously much brighter. They were arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper, corresponding to the seven towering mountains.
After staring at the painting for a long time, Meng Qi felt that everything in front of him gradually came to life.
The stars were shining brightly, the mountains were like sharp swords pointing to the sky, and the clouds on top of the mountains seemed to merge with the night sky, making her unable to distinguish between the mountains and the night sky.
There seemed to be a cool breeze blowing over the lake between the mountains, causing ripples to appear on the surface of the lake.
The ripples spread out in circles, shattering the starlight in the lake. At the very end, only the seven stars that were as bright as the Big Dipper were still shining brightly. They were like the kings of the world, overlooking their own territory.
The mountain, the lake, the stars in the night sky …
Meng Qi looked at it in a daze. She only felt that her spiritual sense was being separated and slowly immersed in the lake.
As she got closer, she could see the sparkling starlight in the clear lake.
She could even feel that the cold lake water did not affect her spiritual sense at all.
A strange feeling completely enveloped Meng Qi. Around her spiritual sense, tiny starlight twinkled.
The water in the lake did not feel like water, but more like something soft, which made her feel very comfortable …
Reiki?!
Meng Qi suddenly trembled, and then she felt that someone was holding her hand. A voice that seemed to come from a very, very far place finally broke through the heavy obstacles and reached her ears, "Meng Qi? Meng Qi! Meng Qi … Qiqi, wake up! "
Meng Qi suddenly opened her eyes.
"Phew —" Someone in front of her breathed a sigh of relief, and Sikong Xing's voice sounded, "Meng Qi, you're finally awake!"
As she spoke, she reached out and pinched her face, "You didn't respond no matter how we called you just now. You scared us to death."
Only then did Meng Qi realize that she was actually lying on the ground.
The grass on the ground was soft. Beside her, Si Kongxing and the others surrounded her. Everyone looked at her worriedly.
"I …" Meng Qi opened her mouth, and her voice was hoarse as if it had been tempered in sand.
"Drink some water." Sikong Xing helped her up, let her lean on her shoulder, and handed her a small water bottle.
The cold water with the fragrance of nectar moistened Meng Qi's cracked lips.
"What happened to me?" Meng Qi also breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that something must have happened when she was checking the Jade Slip.
"You suddenly fainted," Sikong Xing put away the water bottle and said, "Li Che can't tell what happened to you."
"Fainted?" Meng Qi was startled. Her consciousness had always been clear, so how could she have fainted?
It should be known that it was not easy for a xiuzhe to faint. Once they were injured or consumed too much of their spiritual energy and fainted, logically speaking, their entire consciousness would be lost, and they would not be able to control their consciousness.
"How long have I been unconscious?" Meng Qi asked again in a hoarse voice.
"Two hours." Sikong Xing quickly said.
"Meng Qi." Li Che was right beside her, and asked, "What happened? I want to check your situation, but I can't send my spiritual energy into your body. There's a very powerful force blocking my spiritual energy. "
Meng Qi spread out her hands and looked down at the Jade Slip in her palm.
She felt that she had only stared at the painting for a moment, but two hours had already passed?
"This Jade Slip …" Li Che followed Meng Qi's gaze and looked over. He was a little worried, "Is there something strange?"
Meng Qi closed her eyes, and then took out a blank Bamboo Slip from her storage brocade pouch. She held the Bamboo Slip and wanted to draw the mountains, rivers, and stars that she had seen.
Once a xiuzhe had the outline of a picture in their mind, they only needed to send in a little spiritual energy to draw the entire picture.
But this time, she had just sketched a corner of a mountain in the Bamboo Slip when her spiritual energy instantly became empty. All the spiritual energy was completely sucked out, and she could not draw another stroke.
Meng Qi: "… …"
"What's wrong?" Li Che looked at Meng Qi without blinking and asked worriedly.
"I saw a picture in that Jade Slip." Meng Qi could only say, "I suspect that it's the Fallen Star Sea in the Demon Realm."

She paused and continued, "I wanted to draw it for you to see, but after just one stroke, my spiritual energy has been used up."
Li Che, Sikong Xing, and the others gasped, "One stroke?"
"Yes." Meng Qi said as she took out a Beiming Pill and ate it.
She opened her mouth and continued, "The mountains, rivers, and stars in the sky all look like the Big Dipper."
"That's it!" Sikong Xing clapped his hands and said excitedly, "Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I heard from my father that around the Fallen Star Sea in the Demon Realm, seven mountains are indeed arranged like the Big Dipper."
"Yes." Meng Qi nodded.
"Then how did you fall unconscious?" Li Che was puzzled.
He held Meng Qi's wrist again and sent a wisp of spiritual energy into her body through her meridians.
This time, there was no longer that strange force blocking his way, and Li Che was able to smoothly send in his own spiritual energy.
"Strange …" he murmured, "Now it's possible again."
"I looked at that painting and seemed to have entered the lake." Meng Qi recalled, "Then I heard the stars calling me …"
"I didn't see anything else in the Jade Slip except this painting." Meng Qi said, "I didn't see the words Seven Kills or Seven Emotions."
She turned to look at Pei Mufeng and returned the Jade Slip to him.
Pei Mufeng said, "Several elders of the Fallen Star Pavilion worked together, but they could only barely see the words Seven Kills. You don't have to force yourself too much."
"Yes." Meng Qi nodded.
She stood up with the help of Sikong Xing.
Her spiritual energy was gradually restored, and so was her force.
"Let's enter the array." Meng Qi said.
She had always been decisive. Since they couldn't use the Jade Slip, there was no need to delay any longer.
"Okay." Sikong Xing and the others nodded.
Only Li Che was still thinking with his head lowered. He murmured, "What was the force in Meng Qi's body just now?"
Sikong Xing patted him on the shoulder, "Don't think about it. Let's enter the array first."
"Huh? Oh, oh. "Li Che came back to his senses and nodded," Let's enter the array first. "
As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at Meng Qi again. He was still thinking about how she stopped his spiritual energy from entering Meng Qi's body to investigate.
The spiritual energy of medical cultivators was mostly gentle and mild. It was rarely blocked by other people's spiritual energy.
Moreover, he felt that the scene in front of him was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember when he had encountered it. Or …
Li Che was deep in thought. Had he seen it in that book?
The seven of them stood on the hillside and looked around.
They didn't know when, but seven different colored light gates lit up on the hillside.
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple.
At this moment, the closest one to them was a red light gate.
The light gate was almost transparent. Through the light gate, they could even see the hillside behind it. It was like a transparent flame silently burning fiercely.
"Let's go." Pei Mufeng was also decisive. He led the way and walked towards the red light gate.
He hadn't put away his Natal Sword. At this moment, it was floating beside him with the tip of the sword pointing forward.
At this moment, among the seven of them, Pei Mufeng's cultivation was the highest. His combat power was also the strongest.
Originally, Yan Xuan was neck and neck with him. However, after he was injured and his inner core was damaged, even if he wasn't affected by the damage of his inner core in Shijue Mountain, he was still slightly weaker than Pei Mufeng.
Then, there was Qin Xiumo, Chu Tianfeng, and Sikong Xing. These three people's cultivation was about the same.
Li Che's cultivation was about the same as them. However, as a medical practitioner, his combat power was slightly weaker.
Meng Qi's cultivation was the lowest among the seven of them. However, not only was she a medical practitioner, she also had the help of formations. In terms of combat power, she was probably above Li Che.
When Pei Mufeng was in front, Yan Xuan walked to the back. Qin Xiumo walked side by side with him.
In front of them were Meng Qi and Sikong Xing. In front of them, Chu Tianfeng and Li Che were side by side.
The red light gate was right in front of them. Pei Mufeng raised his hand. His Natal Sword rushed towards the light gate. He followed behind and stepped into the gate.
Chu Tianfeng looked back at Meng Qi and nodded at her. He opened his right hand and a red lotus bloomed in his palm.
Li Che's Natal Cauldron also floated beside him. He held a medicine knife in his right hand.
The two of them didn't hesitate. They followed behind Pei Mufeng and stepped into the light gate.
Sikong Xing waved her hand. A fluffy red little fox immediately lay on her shoulder.
The little fox opened its big eyes. Its fluffy head rubbed against Sikong Xing's cheek. Then, it looked at the red light gate. Its little ears twitched and its little body trembled.
Meng Qi raised her hand and the Five Spirit Cauldron flew out. She held the medicine knife in her left hand and a protective magic treasure appeared in her right hand.
"Let's go in." Sikong Xing nodded at Meng Qi and stepped into the light gate.
Meng Qi then went through the red light gate.
She only felt a blur in front of her and she was already standing in the light gate.
Before Meng Qi could see the surrounding scenery clearly, a crisp sound of birds chirping entered her ears.
His nose also smelled a sweet and pleasant floral fragrance.
The fragrance of the flowers wasn't strong, but it was refreshing.
Meng Qi couldn't help but take a deep breath. Her limbs and bones seemed to have been cleansed by the fragrance of the flowers. She became exceptionally relaxed.
At this moment, a pleasant voice sounded in her ears.
The voice sounded very young. There was a slight rise at the end of the voice. It sounded like a delicate young girl. Under the afternoon sun, she was smiling and chatting with her best friend.
But what she said was not interesting at all.
"This is the first test of the Seven Emotions Array. Two people need to pass the first test together before they can enter the next test."
The female voice paused and then continued, "If you successfully pass the first test, you can enter the second test. If you fail, the seven of you who entered the Seven Emotions Array will be trapped in the array forever. Hehe, you have to work hard."
Then Meng Qi heard Li Che's cheers, "My Old Master Li Tian! Mahayana Medical Cultivators above! This, this, this … this is Hundred Spirit Grass! "
"No, No Water Flower!"
"Star Cliff Grass!"
"This, this, this … Star Dust Stone?!"
"Meng Qi!" Li Che turned his head and waved desperately at Meng Qi. "Meng Qi, come and see if this is a Star Dust Stone!"
There was a stream in front of Li Che. The stream was so clear that the bottom could be seen. It made a splashing sound.
The Spirit Grass and Spirit Flowers that made Li Che shout were growing beside the stream.
Hundred Spirit Grass, No Water Flower, Star Cliff Grass … These were all rare flowers and herbs that were rarely seen in the world of medicine. For Medical Cultivators, they were treasures of heaven and earth.
In addition to the Spirit Grass that Li Che named, there were also countless rare flowers and herbs on both sides of the stream.
Meng Qi looked around and could hardly see the end of it. She couldn't even name some of these rare flowers and herbs.
No wonder there was such a refreshing fragrance here.
With so many rare Spirit Grass and Spirit Flowers gathered together, just the aura they emitted could make sick ordinary people recover without medicine.
The sun shone from the sky and shone on the stream.
The clear stream was not deep. Meng Qi and Li Che could clearly see the stones at the bottom of the stream.
Those stones were of different shapes and looked like ordinary pebbles. After being washed by the stream for many years, they had become smooth and lovely.
But if one looked carefully, they would find that under the sun, those stones were shining.
The light was not bright. It was as fine as gold fragments sprinkled on the water. It looked like small stars.
"Meng Qi!" Li Che's tone was very excited. He pulled Meng Qi's sleeve and urged her to squat down with him. "This, this, this …"
His attention had completely moved away from the stones at the bottom of the stream. Instead, he pointed to several inconspicuous Spirit Grass beside the stream.
Each of those Spirit Grass had two leaves on it. The leaves were green as if they had been washed.
The leaves were very small, about the size of a human fingernail. They looked very ordinary.
However, on every green blade of grass, there were dark red threads that traced the edges of the blades of grass.
The dark red filaments were very thin. If one didn't get close and observe carefully, it would be difficult to see the pattern.
Li Che's expression became very serious.
He slowly stretched out his hand. When he was about to touch the leaf, he hesitated and stopped.
"Meng, Meng Qi." Li Che rubbed his hand on his own robe and turned to Meng Qi. "Why don't you do it?"
He smiled a little embarrassedly. "I'm afraid that my hands and feet will accidentally break it."
Li Che looked into Meng Qi's eyes as he spoke. He asked in a low voice, "Meng Qi, is this the Netherworld Thorn?"
He didn't wait for Meng Qi to answer. He quickly said, "Right? It's the Netherworld Thorn, right? "
Li Che seemed to be convincing himself, but also seemed to be recalling something. He slowly read, "The Netherworld Thorn grows by the water. It grows a leaf every three hundred years. Another three hundred years, another three hundred years, another three hundred years, another three hundred years, another three hundred years, another three hundred years, the leaf falls and decays, losing its medicinal properties. There are dark red lines on the edge of the leaf. On the back of the leaf, there are small dark red thorns as thin as cow hair. It can be used as medicine to cure all injuries and reconstruct the inner core. "
After Li Che finished reading this paragraph, he stared blankly at the tiny leaf. Then, he muttered the last few words of his own, "Cure all injuries, reconstruct the inner core, reconstruct … the inner core …"
He still turned to look at Meng Qi blankly. He didn't even blink. "The Netherworld Thorn! Meng Qi, do you think this is the Netherworld Thorn? "
Li Che quickly said, "I only saw it in the sect's ancient records. Master said that the Netherworld Thorn had already gone extinct ten thousand years ago. The Netherworld River dried up, and the Netherworld Thorn disappeared from the world. Only the ancient medical practitioners have seen it. But … but … "
His gaze turned to the small stream that flowed endlessly. He asked blankly, "Is this the Netherworld River?"
The Netherworld River was also recorded in the ancient records.
"Why do I feel like something's wrong?" Li Che scratched his head blankly. "I've only seen records of the Netherworld River in books. It's said that at that time, the Three Mountains World wasn't the Three Mountains World. It was just a very, very big world. Humans, demons, and devils all lived in it. The Netherworld River was underground in the extreme north. The ground was frozen all year round. The ground was extremely hard, and almost no grass grew there. Only the Netherworld Thorn grew on the banks of the Netherworld River. It was very difficult to pick it up. "
Whether it was the Netherworld River or the Netherworld Thorn, they were almost like legends to medical practitioners.
Otherwise, as the only son of the Mirrormoon Sky Sect Master and such a genius, Yan Xuan's inner core wouldn't have been damaged. He wouldn't have been unable to recover from the setback.
"Yes." Meng Qi responded softly.
"Could it be that the Netherworld River and the Netherworld Thorn really exist?" Li Che muttered.
"Then does that mean Yan Xuan can be saved?" He turned to look at Meng Qi.
Meng Qi's gaze fell on the few small, inconspicuous blades of grass.
The dark red patterns outlined the leaves of the grass. Even under the sunlight, it looked a bit strange.
"But this is the Netherworld River?!" Li Che looked at the cheerful stream in disbelief. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that it was too different from the legendary River Styx.
Meng Qi had already taken out a glove from her storage bag.
The silver-white glove was very tough. It was also resistant to all kinds of poisons and water and fire.
She carefully reached out to the Netherworld Thorn.
"Be careful!" Li Che reached out and grabbed Meng Qi's wrist.
He also had a similar glove. Medical practitioners often had to pick herbs for themselves, so they would have a similar glove.
Li Che took out his glove and put it on. "Let me do it."
"The Netherworld Thorn looks like an ordinary blade of grass, but it's called a thorn." Li Che explained, "Because the thorn on the back of the blade of grass is very powerful."
He adjusted his posture, took out a detoxification pill and stuffed it into his mouth. Then he continued, "It's said that although it's as thin as a cow's hair, once it touches a person's skin, it will silently drill into the body and enter the spiritual sea and internal organs along the meridians. It only takes ten breaths to kill a Insightful Truth Cultivator."
"A Insightful Truth Cultivator." Li Che continued, "That's a top master who's only one step away from the Mahayana Realm."
He adjusted his posture again and carefully reached out his hand to the Netherworld Thorn. "It's said that only the moment the thorn touches a person's hand, he or she can barely survive. But … "
Li Che said, "It's said that when the thorn touches a person's skin, he or she can't feel it at all. By the time he or she can react, it has already invaded his or her spiritual sea and internal organs. Sigh … "
He sighed and tried to reach out his hand to the Netherworld Thorn again. He hesitated, but in the end, he still didn't touch the blade of grass.
"He's so talkative!" On the cliff in the distance, the black card sword cultivator sat on the cliff with his arms lazily crossed in front of his chest. He looked at the scene in front of him and curled his lips. Then he excitedly turned his head to look at the red clothed woman and the white haired man. "Why don't we make a bet and see if he dares to touch the Netherworld Thorn?"
The white haired man snorted and turned his head away in disdain.
The red clothed woman glared at him. "I bet he'll pluck it!"
"Then I bet he won't." The sword cultivator said with a smile, "Look at how scared he is. I bet he won't pass this test."
"If he can't pass the first test, the remaining six tests will be harder and harder. The little girl will also be unlucky with him. I don't know what he was thinking at the beginning. He must send two people to each test. As long as one of them can't pass, he will fail. Tsk tsk tsk … "The sword cultivator shook his head and sighed.
"Hey! You're not gloating, are you? " The red clothed woman glared at him again. "We don't have much time left. If they also fail, we might not be able to last for another hundred years."
"I've said it before. It doesn't matter even if the Sanfu World is destroyed. If we die, we die. Who cares if the Sanfu World behind us is flooded and turned into a purgatory! "The black clothed man curled his lips and revealed a mocking and wanton smile.
Hearing this, the red clothed woman and the white haired man looked at each other worriedly.
The two of them didn't say anything and just stood quietly behind the sword cultivator.
The mountain wind blew their hair. The red clothed woman waited for a moment and finally couldn't help but ask the white haired man, "You … Do you think they'll pluck it?"
"Maybe they will, maybe they won't." The white haired man shook his head. "Although I'm also a medical cultivator, I can't guess what every medical cultivator is thinking."
He paused and said, "Or maybe, they can think of a better way."
Beside the stream, Li Che's hand was still hovering over the netherworld spike. He didn't move for a long time.
He closed his eyes, as if he was talking to Meng Qi, but also as if he was talking to himself. "What if, what if this isn't the netherworld spike?"
"Yes." Meng Qi responded. "Let me do it."
Her expression was rather calm as she extended her hand towards the Nether Thorn.
"Wait!" Li Che grabbed Meng Qi's wrist and stopped her again. "Let's look around first and see if there's anything else."
He thought for a moment and said, "What if this is really the netherworld spike? What if it's really the same as the legends? What if something happens to us and the Seven Emotions Formation can't be broken?"
"Alright." Meng Qi nodded.
Medical cultivators aren't reckless and fearless. If they can't even protect themselves, they can't help more people.
She withdrew her hand and stood up with Li Che.
"In the stream …" Meng Qi's gaze fell on the stream. Those stones were still lying quietly at the bottom of the water, shining with fine light.
She walked a few steps towards the stream, squatted down, and carefully looked at the stones at the bottom of the water. "It's a stardust stone."
"It's really …" Li Che stared blankly.
There should still be stardust stones in the Demon Realm and the Demon Realm, but they were rare in the Three Millennia World.
But the Styx River …
He glanced warily at the flowing stream before focusing his gaze into the distance.
As far as the eye could see, they were in a large field. There were no mountains around, and the edge of the field seemed to be connected with the sky.
The stream crossed the entire field, and they couldn't see the end of it.
"Huh?" Li Che seemed to have finally reacted. "Where … where are they?!"
He was dazzled by the spirit herbs and spirit flowers just now, and only now did he realize that there were only two people, Meng Qi and himself. Sikong Xing and the others were nowhere to be seen.
"Meng Qi!" Li Che almost jumped up. "Where are they?"
He and Meng Qi were both medical cultivators, and their combat power ranked last among the seven people. If something really happened, they couldn't fight back.
"Didn't you hear someone talking just now?" Meng Qi asked.
"Huh?" Li Che looked at her blankly.
Meng Qi explained calmly, "This is the first level."
She looked around and said, "This level is for the two of us. After passing the first level, we will go to the next level."
"So … so … so there are only two of us here?!" Li Che was stunned.
"Yes." Meng Qi nodded. "It should be so."
"Where are they?" Li Che asked blankly.
"I don't know." Meng Qi shook her head.
"How do we pass this level?" Li Che asked again.
"I don't know." Meng Qi still shook her head.
Li Che: "…"
He stared blankly at the calm Meng Qi. "Then what should we do?"
"Let's see what's around us first." Meng Qi smiled at him and repeated what Li Che said just now.
"But …" Li Che wanted to say something, but he closed his mouth in the end.
"Let's go." Meng Qi squatted down again and made a simple mark on the ground where the netherworld spikes were, in case they couldn't find this place later.
She stood up and patted Li Che, who was standing beside her in a daze. "Since we're here, we can only take one step at a time."
"Oh." Li Che nodded. His body suddenly stiffened.
After a while, he turned his head stiffly and stared at Meng Qi. "Meng Qi …"
Li Che swallowed his saliva. "I, I … I heard that person speak."
"Huh?" Meng Qi looked at him.
"A girl with a very pleasant voice just spoke to me. She said that this is the first level, and that you and I are going to pass it. If we pass, we'll go to the next level. If we don't … "
Li Che's Adam's apple bobbed up and down. His body stiffened. "If we don't pass, the seven of us will be trapped here forever!"
He looked at Meng Qi. "Is, is that so?"
Meng Qi frowned. She didn't tell him this just now because she didn't want to make Li Che nervous.
"So …" Li Che didn't need Meng Qi to answer. From her expression, he guessed that Meng Qi also heard these words. "And she also told me that if one of us doesn't pass, we won't pass the first level. Meng Qi! "
He suddenly became very nervous. "This is the first level. What exactly do we have to do? How can we pass the first level? "
If Li Che was the one who treated the patient, he wouldn't be nervous even if the patient was seriously injured or terminally ill.
But passing the level and passing the test … This has never been his strength.
Especially if they had to fight, he would definitely become a burden to Meng Qi.
"Meng Qi." Li Che's face was pale. "I … I …"
The joy of seeing so many spirit herbs and spirit flowers just now completely disappeared. Li Che's heart was full of worry and fear.
If he was alone, he might not be so afraid. But as soon as he thought about the other six people who would be trapped here forever because of him, he couldn't control his nervousness and worry.
"Don't think about this first." Meng Qi said softly. "Maybe that person is just scaring us."
"But they really aren't here." Li Che murmured. "It's just the two of us …"
His lips trembled slightly, as pale as his face. "If we have to fight, what do we do?"
They were two medical cultivators. Even if the other party's cultivation was lower than theirs, they probably wouldn't be a match for them.
Stardust Stone, Netherworld Thorn, Hundred Spirit Grass … all of these were suddenly thrown to the back of Li Che's mind.
Not only was his face pale, but his body also seemed to become incomparably heavy.
Li Che opened his mouth again, but found that he didn't know what else to say.
He could only stare at Meng Qi in a daze.
"So we must pass the first test." Meng Qi's voice was still calm and gentle.
"But …" Li Che still wanted to say something, but Meng Qi shook his hand at him and said firmly, "Let's go check out the surroundings first and figure out what's going on here."
"… Okay." Li Che nodded.
"Let's go." Meng Qi's tone was very firm, and he walked forward along the stream.
Li Che followed behind him with heavy footsteps.
He was too excited just now, and didn't even notice that the others weren't here.
There was only him and Meng Qi, only the two of them …
If they couldn't pass the first test, then the other people would stay here because of him, and he didn't even know if they were alive or dead …
What … what should he do?!
"Hehehe." At this moment, Li Che heard the pleasant female voice again. "The first test is already the easiest of the seven tests."
Her voice was crisp, and even a little proud, "But it's not that easy to pass the easiest test. If it's one of you, that powerful and handsome swordsman, he should be able to pass. "
Pei Mufeng …?
Li Che thought silently in his heart.
"Yes, yes, yes!" The other party seemed to be able to hear the voice in his heart, and said cheerfully, "It's that Pei Mufeng. If it's him and Meng Qi, one is a swordsman and the other is a medical practitioner, they should be able to pass this test. "She said with a smile.
"Then … Then what about me?" Li Che couldn't help but ask in his heart.
"But if it's you …" The woman dragged her voice, as if she was deep in thought.
Li Che suddenly became nervous. "What if it's me? Won't it be impossible? "
"If it's you … you two medical practitioners won't be able to defeat him." The woman said in a relaxed tone, as if it was a matter of fact.
Her words poked at the thing Li Che was most worried about.
That's right! He and Meng Qi were two medical practitioners, but he was far inferior to Xue Chengxuan.
Xue Chengxuan was the eldest son of the Xue family of the Wind Alliance, and the future sect master of the number one medical practitioner sect in the world. Even if he wasn't as strong as Pei Mufeng, who was a top swordsman, he still had the power to fight. He was much stronger than Li Che.
"If it's that kid from the Xue family," the woman said again, "there's still hope."
Li Che's expression became even more unsightly.
"Sigh …" The woman seemed to be sighing for him. "Fortunately, you and that little girl didn't touch the Netherworld Spike. If you did, no matter which one of you touched the Netherworld Spike, one of you would die, and you would have failed the first test. "
"But then again," the woman continued. "With your cultivation and combat strength, it doesn't make a difference whether you touch the Netherworld Spike or not. In any case, you won't be able to pass."
Li Che tightly closed his mouth.
"This Seven Emotions Formation has been open for tens of thousands of years. It's not like there haven't been any cultivators who have passed the seven tests. But in the few times that they passed, there was only one medical practitioner among the seven people who came in. " The woman seemed to have not spoken to anyone for a long time. She continued to talk non-stop. "Two medical cultivators like you will encounter such a situation. There's nothing we can do about it."
She said with a grin, "Actually, your luck is pretty good. It's the first test. If it's the later tests, you might have already failed the moment you opened your eyes. "
Li Che: "… …"
Cold sweat poured down from his body.
At this moment, Meng Qi, who was walking in front of him, suddenly stopped and turned to look at Li Che. "Li Che."
"Hmm?" Li Che responded instinctively.
"Don't listen to that person," Meng Qi said.
"Huh?"
"Is there someone beside your ear who keeps saying that us two medical cultivators won't be able to pass the first test?" Meng Qi asked.
Li Che: "… …"
"Don't pay attention to her," Meng Qi repeated. "Don't pay attention to what she says, and don't believe it."
"But … … but … …" Wasn't what that person said the truth?
"This is the Seven Emotions Formation." Meng Qi reminded Li Che. "Although I don't know what this formation is like, think about the Seven Emotions Flower."
"Seven Emotions Flower?" Li Che was slightly startled.
"Yes." Meng Qi nodded. "Seven Emotions Flower."
Li Che looked at Meng Qi blankly. He didn't quite understand what she meant.
"Magic Formation … …" Meng Qi simply took a few steps back and stood side by side with Li Che. "Let's talk as we walk."
The two of them continued to walk along the stream. Meng Qi said, "Some magic formations can amplify the effect of the medicine."
She said, "Therefore, although I don't know what this Seven Emotions Formation is, I think it's very likely that it's using the magic formation to amplify the effect of the Seven Emotions Flower."
Li Che nodded. He didn't quite understand.
However, he was focused on listening to Meng Qi. The girl's voice in his mind didn't affect him as much.
Meng Qi continued, "The Seven Emotions Flower and the Falling Heart Wood can make people fall into the Seven Emotions Illusion and magnify the seven emotions and six desires."
"The test of this Seven Emotions Formation is very likely to use our Seven Emotions Inner Demons." Her tone was still calm, so calm that it was even a little cold. "Therefore, don't pay attention to that person's words. She's making you fall into fear and worry."
"Hahaha." Before Li Che could speak, he heard a clear laughter in his mind. "Your little friend is really interesting."
The woman laughed happily. "Two little cultivators, one of them is a Yuanying cultivator, and the other just separated his spirit. I don't need to go through so much trouble to plot against you."
She smiled. "I'm just reminding you out of kindness. It's up to you to believe it or not."
"Li Che." Li Che felt a weight on his arm. Meng Qi held his elbow. "Don't listen to her."
"But … … but … …" He opened his mouth with difficulty. He wanted to say that what that person said made sense.
"Don't listen." Meng Qi's eyes were clear and firm.
She looked into Li Che's eyes and reminded him, "Don't be fooled."
Li Che: "… …"
"We can definitely do it." Meng Qi said, "Think about it. It was the two of us who cured so many people and found the entrance to the Seven Emotions Formation."
"Qiao Ran helped us when we were in the formation … …" Li Che murmured.
"When Qiao Ran and I didn't find you, you were already saving people." Meng Qi's tone was firm. "You can do it."
"Meng Qi, I … …"
Li Che still wanted to say something, but the voice in his mind laughed again. "This little girl is really cute. I've decided! After you fail, let the little girl accompany me. With such an interesting little girl by my side to talk to, my life won't be so boring. "
"Li Che." Meng Qi held Li Che's arm tightly. A wisp of spiritual energy was sent out from her fingertips. "Don't listen to her."
"Empty Spirit Technique?" The woman giggled again. "Little cutie is really interesting. If the Empty Spirit Technique is useful, how can so many cultivators die? Sometimes … … "
The woman dragged her voice. "Cultivators have lived for tens of thousands of years. How many people can reach the Mahayana Stage? Not to mention the Mahayana Stage, even the Avatar Stage is a step away from heaven and earth. Sometimes, even if you think you can do it, you can definitely do it. "
Li Che frowned slightly.
"Human power is sometimes limited." The woman smiled playfully. "So many cultivators who failed to pass the Jindan Stage tribulation and died. Before they died, they also believed that they could pass the tribulation and succeed."
"With your talent, if you go further up the Avatar Stage … … Well, you'll probably reach the end of the Dongxu Stage. Medical talent is also limited. Now, you'll reach the Peak of the Third Grade. If you go further up the Fourth Grade, you still have some hope of reaching the Fifth Grade. After that, you won't be able to do it. " The woman smiled and said, "Little boy, remember my words. Even if you're at the Peak of the Dongxu Stage, don't force yourself to pass the tribulation. At that time, your soul will scatter and you'll die."
Li Che felt as if he was struck by lightning.
Meng Qi's words gradually couldn't enter his ears.
His Shizun once said that although he was a talented disciple of his sect, the Canghai Academy.
However, in the Southern Land where the Canghai Academy was located, medical cultivation was already declining. The Canghai Academy was able to become one of the Ten Great Sects of the Southern Land. First, there was a rule in the Southern Land. The Ten Great Sects of the Four Realms must have a medical cultivation sect.
Therefore, the Canghai Academy was able to become one of the Ten Great Sects of the Southern Land.
If the Canghai Academy was in the Eastern Land or the Western Land, or even the Northern Land where the overall strength of the sects was relatively weak, they probably wouldn't have a place in the Ten Great Sects.
Li Che's Shizun was only at the Dongxu Stage and had Fifth Grade medical skills.
His Shizun once said that it would be very difficult for Li Che to surpass him. He would probably stop at Fifth Grade medical skills and Dongxu Stage cultivation.
Didi Pavilion
If he could enter a top medical cultivation sect like the Wind Alliance, there would be a glimmer of hope for him to go further. However, his talent was limited and his hope wasn't high. He could only rely on various treasures to force himself to improve.
At this moment, the woman's words were like iron hammers hammering Li Che's heart.
He couldn't …
There was a voice in his ear that kept repeating, "♫".
Even with Meng Qi's comfort, he knew that he couldn't do it.
He couldn't compare to Xue Chengxuan, Pei Mufeng, Sikong Xing, and the others.
Meng Qi, who also came from a small sect, was far more talented than him.
He really couldn't do it.
Li Che thought sadly. He was destined to disappoint Meng Qi.
He also didn't know why he and Shizun would enter this Seven Emotions Formation together with Yan Xuan and the others.
It should have been Qiao Ran who came in.
Why did it have to be him?!
He couldn't do it!
"Li Che! Li Che! "Meng Qi grabbed Li Che's arm, and his voice became louder and louder." Don't listen to that person's words anymore. "
"This little girl is really interesting and kind. She's still trying to comfort you. But even if she comforts you now, what's the use? She's just lying to you and Shizun. When we fight later, she'll know how useless Shizun's companions are. "The woman's every word seemed to poke Li Che's heart.
"She'll find out that two medical cultivators are not enough. This little girl's talent in formations is not bad, and she's been trained and taught by an expert. She still has the strength to fight. But you … sigh … what should we do? "The woman sighed heavily again.
Her voice was clearly filled with compassion.
But every word was like a sharp knife stabbing into Li Che's heart. That sharp blade dug out all the fears that he usually hid very deeply, and had never told anyone before, and displayed them in front of him and himself, dripping with blood.
"Your little friends are all a bunch of kind-hearted children. Usually, they wouldn't despise you, and it's the same this time. Because of you, they can't even pass the first stage and can only be trapped here forever. But don't worry, they won't blame you. "The woman giggled again.
"No one will blame you. Even if they're dragged down by you, because you're trapped in this place, they still won't blame you. Isn't this little girl the same? She clearly knows that because of you, they won't be able to pass this stage. But she still keeps comforting you, afraid that you'll be sad. Sigh … "
The woman sighed loudly again. "You're all medical cultivators. Sometimes, good medicine tastes bitter, and honest words are unpleasant to the ear. But that's the best. But what's the use of comforting me like this? "
Li Che obviously couldn't see her, but he felt like there was a pair of beautiful, compassionate eyes looking at him.
He opened his eyes and met Meng Qi's worried gaze.
"Meng Qi." Li Che opened his mouth and called out hoarsely.
"Li Che." Meng Qi looked into his eyes. "You …"
"What should I do?" He looked at Meng Qi. "What should I do?"
Li Che said with difficulty, "I don't want to drag you down."
"Li Che." Meng Qi said, "Don't listen to that person. She's deliberately disturbing our minds. Since this is the Seven Emotions Array …"
"But she's right." Li Che murmured, "Pei Mufeng is the number one sword cultivator of the younger generation in the East Land. He's the most outstanding sword cultivator in the Four Realms. Qin Xiumo comes from the top of the clouds. He cultivates both swordsmanship and swordsmanship. He's extremely talented. Chu Tianfeng is still young, but his natal technique, Chu Bao, already has seven petals. In a few years, his lotus will have nine petals. Even if Yan Xuan isn't injured, he'll still have the power to fight with Yan Xuan. If Yan Xuan isn't injured, he'll be the number one sword cultivator in the Four Realms. Although Sikong Xing is a demon cultivator, he's from a famous sect. His defensive technique is extremely strong. Meng Qi, you … "
His gaze fell on Meng Qi's face. He said in a hoarse voice, "Your medical talent is outstanding. You were recognized by Senior Lin Yan. Your talent in formations is even more outstanding. The head of the Ji Clan also wants to take you as his disciple. Only I … "
Li Che looked lonely. "I don't know how I got into your group. Now I'm dragging you down."
"Li Che." Meng Qi raised his voice. "It's not like that."
"Hahaha." The woman laughed cheerfully in Li Che's ear. "You're really a kind child. You're still trying to comfort you."
"Unfortunately, if you were replaced by another little swordsman, Qiao Ran from the Broken Space Sect, they would have a chance to break this Seven Emotions Array. Unfortunately, it's you who came in … "
"Ahhh!" Li Che suddenly shook off Meng Qi's hand.
He suddenly jumped up, turned around, and ran behind him.
