Male!
His body was filled with a strong desire. He wanted to swallow the whole jar but he was still conscious and did not lose his mind.
He stared at the jar and did not sense any danger. He raised it to the sky and drank it.
One jar was not much, only about half a catty. He finished it in one gulp.
Every cell in his body seemed to be cheering and singing. His body was as light as a feather. He could not help but howl at the sky.
The howl was like thunder.
"Noisy!" Gu Sitong scoffed.
Chu Li stopped howling and gave a fist salute again.
Although he could not read Gu Sitong's mind, he could feel the danger from him. Gu Sitong's cultivation level was higher than his. If Gu Sitong wanted to kill him, he could only run for his life. Back then, he did not even have the strength to fight back. If Gu Sitong wanted to kill him, he would not have waited until now.
Even so, he did not lose his vigilance. He had to be cautious unless he was facing Xiao Qi, Sun Mingyue, and Lu Yurong. He was wary of everyone but never showed it.
Gu Sitong waved his hand. "No need to thank me!"
Chu Li sighed. "This Nine Underworld Fish is amazing!"
"It's only amazing for the Soul Lotus but not for others." Gu Sitong said indifferently, "There is nothing in the world that isn't like this. Everything has its weakness. The Nine Underworld Fish, when eaten by ordinary people, can only nourish their blood and qi. The effect is not miraculous, but it is extremely beneficial to the Soul Lotus."
Chu Li nodded. "I've been worried about how to heal the Soul Lotus body."
"There's a special medicine for the Soul Lotus body." Gu Sitong said, "You don't know your limits so you didn't find it. Carry a bottle of Scarlet Powder with you so you won't be so embarrassed next time."
Chu Li nodded.
This time was too embarrassing. More importantly, he did not know the Soul Lotus body had such a drawback. He sighed. "The Soul Lotus body is a soul prison!"
"You know about this?" Gu Sitong glanced at him. "If you know about this, you should know that the Soul Lotus body needs Scarlet Powder."
Chu Li sighed. "Is it really a soul prison?"
"It's best for the soul and body to merge." Gu Sitong said, "Isn't the body a soul prison? Whose soul can leave the body? "
Chu Li said, "I heard that there's a secret skill that allows the soul to leave the body."
"That kind of secret technique is very difficult to cultivate." Gu Sitong said lightly: "Moreover, what is the use of having the soul leave the body! … The Soul Lotus can make the soul and body even more intimate, which will make one's aptitude even better! "
Chu Li frowned and sighed. He nodded slowly.
For ordinary people, this was indeed a wonderful thing. The closer the soul was to the body, the more refined the perception and control of the body would be. The same exquisite movements could be easily performed by those whose soul was closer to the body, but others could not.
If the connection between the soul and the body wasn't close enough, one might never be able to learn those exquisite movements.
More importantly, the closer the soul was to the body, the faster the body's reaction would be. When it came to fighting and killing, this was a matter of life and death. Sometimes, if one's reaction was just the slightest bit slower, it would mean the difference between life and death.
But this little bit of beauty was fatal to him.
The last time his soul left his body, he did not feel anything strange. It was only after this time that he realized the drawbacks of the Soul Lotus. Of course, he could not blame the Tan Hua Divine Sect. They did not know that his soul could return to the Heavens beyond Heaven.
Gu Sitong said, "You don't look happy?"
Chu Li shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I'm just lamenting how troublesome it is to be injured."
"With the Blood Scarlet Powder, you can be like a normal person. Moreover, the Blood Scarlet Powder is not an expensive medicine. It's very common. It's just that you don't know how to use it, which is why you suffered such a huge loss. "
Chu Li nodded and did not say anything.
Gu Sitong said, "Also, the body of the Soul Lotus has another advantage. Every time you suffer a serious injury, the body and soul will become stronger and more integrated. After a few more serious injuries, the soul and body will become one. Your cultivation will improve by leaps and bounds, and your movements will also be more agile."
Chu Li smiled bitterly.
This was even more troublesome. After this injury, his soul could not leave his body.
"But there's also a problem." Gu Sitong said, "When the body is dead, the soul is gone too. The soul can't enter the cycle of reincarnation. This is the price of the Soul Lotus."
Chu Li nodded slowly.
Gu Sitong asked, "Are you okay now?"
Chu Li quickly smiled, "I've recovered."
Gu Sitong nodded, "Since you've recovered, you can fight."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows, "Do you have enemies?"
"They're not looking for me, they're looking for you." Gu Sitong pointed outside and said, "They've been waiting outside for a few days, waiting for you to come out."
Chu Li said, "They're quite patient!"
"Deal with them, lest they disturb the peace outside!" Gu Sitong scoffed.
Chu Li fist saluted and left the ravine. He saw Xing Wuxing standing on the peak of the opposite mountain. He took a step forward and approached him, calmly looking at Xing Wuxing.
When Xing Wuxing saw him, he looked him up and down and scoffed, "Recovered?"
Chu Li nodded, "Do you want to continue?"
Xing Wuxing frowned and shook his head, sighing, "There's no need."
Chu Li said, "With your cultivation level, you have a high chance of winning. Why don't you fight?"
Xing Wuxing's cultivation level was higher than his, and he was proficient in that strange palm energy. Chu Li still had not figured out how to break it. Of course, he would not be trapped under normal circumstances. Back then, he was heavily injured and could not shift. Now, he could shift. Although his palm energy could lock the void, it could not lock the Heavenly Demonic Aerial Manipulation.
"Whether you fight or not, you're going to die." Xing Wuxing scoffed, "You're happy that you're saved, aren't you?"
Chu Li smiled, "It's always a good thing to be alive."
"Sometimes, being alive is better than being dead," Xing Wuxing said.
Chu Li frowned and looked at him, using the Omniscient Mirror to observe. The bright light shrouded his body, and he could not see through his thoughts.
He felt that Xing Wuxing's expression was not right, and his words were strange too. With the Omniscient Mirror, Chu Li's ability to see through people's minds had reached a magical level. Even without looking into the mind, he could see through the person's expression and subtle movements.
"Is there something wrong with that Senior Gu?" Chu Li asked slowly.
"He's not that stupid after all. Unfortunately, he's unlucky." Xing Wuxing smiled faintly.
Chu Li scoffed, "What's his background?"
"If I'm not mistaken, he should be a remnant of the Holy Church of Qianji." Xing Wuxing said, "I didn't expect to meet him here. I'm not waiting for you here, I'm waiting for him!"
Chu Li's expression changed. "The Holy Church of Qianji? The Holy Church of Qianji hasn't been wiped out? "
According to the information he obtained from the Tower Master of Heaven Shaking, the Qianji Skill was the secret skill of the Qianji Sect. He did not expect the Holy Church of Qianji to exist here. When he heard the name, he thought of the Qianji Skill and puppets.
From the words' remnant 'that Xing Wuxing mentioned, he knew that the Holy Church of Qianji must have been wiped out like the Qianji Sect.
Xing Wuxing said, "There are always some people who are lucky. This is one of them. I don't know if you're lucky or sad that he saved you!"
As he spoke, there was a hint of sympathy in his eyes.
