Chu Li exited the Leisure Cloud Pub and walked along the alleyway. In the quiet alleyway, the sound of his boots stepping on the bluestone pavement was exceptionally clear.
Halfway through the alley, a fragrant breeze brushed past his head. Chu Li looked at Mei Ao Shuang who had landed gracefully on the ground.
Chu Li sighed. "Valley Leader Mei, I won't agree even if you beat me to death. It's useless!"
Mei Ao Shuang said coldly, "Why exactly?"
Chu Li saw that she was unwilling to give up, so he had no choice but to make a ruthless move. "If it's Green Deer Cliff, I won't say a word and will agree immediately. As for Tai Hua Valley … hehe."
Mei Ao Shuang raised her eyebrows and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
Spiritual energy from all directions surged into Chu Li's body, circulating according to Prince An's heart technique. His inner energy was continuously compressed, becoming purer and purer.
Mei Ao Shuang took a deep breath and suppressed her anger. "The Green Deer Cliff is powerful, but no matter how powerful they are, they can only train her to become a Grandmaster. It will take a long time. There is no hope for her to become a Grandmaster within thirty years. I can make Xiao Yin become a Grandmaster within five years!"
"Five years?" Chu Li frowned.
Mei Ao Shuang thought that he did not believe her and scoffed, "Our Tai Hua Valley's heart technique is unique and requires a special physique. Once the physique is compatible, one's cultivation will progress at a tremendous pace!"
Chu Li nodded thoughtfully.
He had never built a foundation, and it took him less than a year to reach Innate Mastery. It was not impossible for him to become a Grandmaster in five years.
Mei Ao Shuang was already a Grandmaster at such a young age. It was believable that she would become a Grandmaster within five years. Otherwise, she would not have begged him so urgently. Based on her cold and arrogant personality, it was already unprecedented for her to tell him so much.
Mei Ao Shuang saw that he was considering, and her spirit was lifted. She continued, "Xiao Yin's physique is better than mine, so her cultivation progress will be faster. Five years is already more than what I said. If her power of understanding is good enough, she can even achieve it in three years!"
Chu Li closed fist saluted, "Valley Leader Mei, I'm really sorry, but I still can't agree to it."
"Why?!" Mei Ao Shuang was anxious. She took a step forward. "He can become a top-notch master in five or even three years. He could move unhindered throughout the world without fear. How delightful was that? He could clearly become an influential figure, so why did he have to restrain her? Forcing her to be a mediocre person. "
Chu Li said, "So what if I became a Grandmaster? Is he invincible? "
"Other than Enlightened Masters, who can be invincible in the world?" Mei Ao Shuang scoffed.
Chu Li replied, "If I'm not invincible, I'll still be in danger. How can I be so carefree?"
It was not that the stronger one's martial arts was, the safer one would be. The scenery at the foot of the mountain was ordinary, but it was not that dangerous. The higher one climbed, the more dangerous it would be. The wind and frost were fierce, and falling down would be fatal.
Chen Ying had not entered the martial arts world yet. She was living in the world of ordinary people. With the protection of the Public House, she would not be in danger. However, once she entered the martial arts world, no matter how strong her martial arts skills were, she would still have opponents. Moreover, the opponent was stronger and more dangerous.
In fact, the most important thing was that Chen Ying and the others had a huge shadow in their hearts. It was not suitable for them to take the current path of cultivation. Breaking through the Innate Mastery's Boundary and the Grandmaster's Boundary required a compatible state of mind.
Their experiences would become a huge hindrance to them, preventing them from breaking through to the next realm. They might not be able to step into the Innate Realm even if they cultivated for the rest of their lives.
The most suitable path for them was the Sun Cultivating White Tiger Portrait.
As long as he cultivated the Sun Cultivating White Tiger Portrait to its ultimate state, he would not need to fear even a Grandmaster. Moreover, body refinement was extremely deceptive. It would not attract attention, and at the critical moment, it could suddenly launch an attack and kill with a single strike.
Chen Ying's aptitude was good because she practiced the Art of White Tiger. She advanced the fastest among the girls, so she was valued by Mei Ao Shuang.
Of course, he could not say these words. Mei Ao Shuang might not believe him, and he would not expose Chen Ying and the others' scars.
When Mei Ao Shuang heard his words, she was furious. He was a man. He held a high position in the Public House, yet he did not know how to improve. His martial arts skills were weak, how could there be freedom? He could not even withstand a single blow.
Today, she would let him understand what freedom was!
As she finished speaking, she pressed her palm forward. Under the setting sun, her white hand was like a white jade with rouge.
A turbulent palm energy came head-on, like a huge boulder crashing into him.
Chu Li circulated the heart technique he obtained from Prince An for a few circulations. His inner energy was abnormally pure. He reached out his hand and took a step back.
"Bang!" The bluestone slabs slightly sank. The palm energy that was drawn over was like a hammer smashing down.
Chu Li flashed behind Mei Ao Shuang and pressed his palm forward.
"Bang!" Mei Ao Shuang's body swayed. In the midst of a muffled sound, the invisible energy shield outside her body blocked Chu Li's palm and was immediately broken.
She was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat. Chu Li was too fast, she did not even have time to react.
Chu Li fluttered two steps back and shook his head, "Valley Leader Mei, if I had a treasured sword just now, what would you have done? Grandmasters will also encounter danger, see you again. "
As he finished speaking, he disappeared in a flash.
When Mei Ao Shuang rushed over, Chu Li had already disappeared.
She punched the air fiercely, and the bluestone floor once again made a muffled "bang" sound. The bluestone slabs cracked.
She was about to explode.
A dignified Grandmaster was actually at a disadvantage against an Innate Master. She wanted to teach him a lesson, but he taught her a lesson instead.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. This depression was stuck in her chest and could not be dispersed.
"Chu — Li —!" She clenched her snow-white teeth, stomped her feet, and fluttered away.
—
Chu Li stayed in the Glory's Will Courtyard for the next two days to avoid Mei Ao Shuang.
In the meantime, he went to see his own island.
Under Xue Ling's supervision, the craftsmen busied themselves in full swing. Chu Li secretly praised the craftsmen for being able to make them work so hard.
Master Siao Tieying did not return and stayed in the Huay Public House. Siao Qi was not worried. Chu Li guessed that the relationship between the Huay Public House and the Huay Public House was very complicated.
In the early morning, the air was fresh.
He was practicing the Sentient Menace in the courtyard when Su Ru in an apricot gown fluttered over.
Chu Li stopped and entered the pagoda with her.
Xue Ling served tea and stood beside Chu Li.
Su Ru took the tea and took a sip. She smiled and took out a thin wooden box from her sleeve and handed it to Chu Li, "Lady Siao Tieying lent this to you."
Chu Li smiled and took it to open it.
Inside the box, there was a thin yellow booklet in the yellow satin. On it, four big words were written, "Heaven's Overflow North Gou Chen". The words were written with strong strokes.
Su Ru said, "Lady Siao Tieying asked me to supervise you. You should not study more than two hours a day."
Chu Li could not wait to open the cover.
"Hey!" Su Ru said, "Did you hear what I said?!"
Chu Li stared at the book and said casually, "I know, I know. One hour a day."
"It seems that Lady Siao Tieying was right!" Su Ru scoffed.
Chu Li stared at the formation in the book.
He had read a few formation books before. They were all basic and did not involve the real formation. Now, he saw the true face of the formation.
Usually, when he read, he would just flip through it and directly imprint it in his mind. This book could not do that. There was an invisible force rejecting his memory. It was similar to the Life and Death Scripture. It was obviously a real book of power.
He was soon immersed in it and did not know the passage of time.
It seemed like only a moment had passed. Su Ru patted his shoulder and said, "Chu Li, time's up!"
Chu Li moved his eyes away from the book and looked at her with dissatisfaction.
Su Ru said, "If you don't agree, I will tell Lady Siao Tieying!"
"… Alright." Chu Li reluctantly closed the thin book. He sighed, "This is really an eye-opener!"
The door of this world was opened in front of him. The mystery of the prosperity of martial arts was revealed.
In the world where he reincarnated, this book was useless. In that world, there was no force that could drive a formation. Even if a formation was set up, it would only be for show. It was like a gun without bullets.
It was different in this world. There was a strange force between heaven and earth. It was vast and endless. Humans were incomparably insignificant in front of this power, but they could use the formation to drive this power.
This was like driving a Spirit Beast. Driving a Spirit Beast could unleash a huge force, but not everyone could drive it.
Once a powerful force backfired, the force would be shocking.
Therefore, the chances of learning the formation were slim. It was not even slim. Since ancient times, there were very few who could control the formation. It was almost the same as an Enlightened Master.
This time, Chu Li persuaded Xiao Qi in the name of assassinating King An.
He could not step into the Grandmaster's Boundary in half a year. He did not know when he would enter the Amethyst Mountain. Even if he entered now, he might not be able to step into the Grandmaster's Boundary in half a year.
If he wanted to become strong immediately, the only way was to learn the formation.
Xiao Qi was hesitant. However, Chu Li's miraculous performance made her feel that Chu Li could really master the formation.
Even if she was confident, she did not dare to mess around. She asked Su Ru to supervise him every time. He could not study for more than an hour. This was to prevent him from getting too immersed and eventually going crazy.
"Sigh …" Chu Li returned the book to her. "If only I had the blood of a Spirit Beast."
Studying the formation was very exhausting. His head felt heavy after a while. Ever since he cultivated the Omniscient Mirror, other than being seriously injured, this was the first time he felt like this. He would not feel like this even if he cultivated for a day and a night.
If he had the blood of a Spirit Beast, he could write the talisman of the Nine Dragons' Cauldron. His spiritual force would be endless and could help him.
After an hour, he had some understanding of the formation and felt that he could get started.
What he learned in the original world played a huge role. High-energy physics made his observation and understanding of the world far better than the average person. When he looked at the formation, he could easily understand it.
"Blood of a Spirit Beast?" Su Ru laughed. "We can't even see a Spirit Beast. Where would we get it?"
Chu Li smiled. "We don't have the luck of the great ancestor."
"The blood of a wild beast?" Su Ru said, "Some rare wild beasts are also very powerful."
"Wild beast …" Chu Li thought for a while. "I can try."
"What do you want the blood for?" Su Ru said, "Don't tell me it's for alchemy?"
Chu Li smiled. "More or less."
"What about the birds of prey?" Su Ru thought for a while. "There are a few birds of prey in Bai Tou Mountain. They have eaten many people. They are preparing to kill them. Once they start eating people, they can't be left alive."
Chu Li turned his head and said, "Xue Ling, issue a task to the Martial Arts Hall. Get two bottles of blood of the beasts. I want it to be active."
"Yes." Xue Ling replied.
Su Ru put the book back into the box and put it into her sleeve. "I will come again tomorrow."
As soon as she finished speaking, she left gracefully.
Xue Ling came back and said, "Master, I haven't left the Public House for a long time. Let's go for a walk."
She was told by Su Ru to keep Chu Li occupied and not let him think about the formation. That was why she came up with this idea.
"There's nothing to walk around outside." Chu Li said.
Xue Ling bit her red lips and smiled. "How about going to the New Moon Brothel?"
Chu Li burst into laughter. "You have some guts!"
The New Moon Brothel was the number one brothel in Chong Ming Town. In order to stop him from thinking about the formation, she went all out.
"Master, do you dare to go?" Xue Ling scoffed.
