After Chu Li had his meal, he left the Flavorful Tower with Xu Jingya.
The two of them walked very slowly, leisurely to digest their food as they chatted.
"Junior Brother Zhao, it's not without reason that you don't have a good relationship with others." Xu Jingya shook her head and said, "How can others not be angry when they see how you treat Junior Sister Mo? She is a weak and beautiful girl. All the male disciples will hate you. "
"Let them be!" Chu Li scoffed. "It doesn't matter if they hate me or not!"
"It doesn't matter now, but what about the future?" Xu Jingya shook her head. "There will be hidden dangers."
"Cranes can't live in the same flock as chickens. We're not on the same side, we're not the same kind of people. Why should I make myself unhappy? Living is about being happy!" Chu Li said nonchalantly, "Do I have to compromise with them?"
Xu Jingya looked at him and shook her head helplessly.
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Sister Xu." Chu Li said, "Even if I try to please them with my tail between my legs, they won't follow me!"
"That's true." Xu Jingya nodded lightly.
She stared at his ugly face and sighed inwardly. This Junior Brother Zhao was very clear-headed. He coldly observed others and saw through her situation.
He was ugly, but his martial arts were extremely high. He was also a country bumpkin. All these factors together were enough to make the disciples respect him from afar and secretly ostracize him.
His martial arts were tyrannical, but he didn't have much prestige among the disciples. If there was a chance to make fun of him, no one would let it go.
Qin Huaichuan, on the other hand, had an extremely high prestige among the disciples. Not only was he handsome, but he also had a brilliant way of handling things. He was smooth and experienced, which made everyone gasp in admiration.
Back then, Chu Li used Zhao Dahe's identity and personality to stay in the Li Dynasty. His goal was to avoid making friends as much as possible so that he would not have to deal with the Holy Church of Light in the future.
The current situation was to his liking, but in the eyes of outsiders, it was a failure.
He returned to the Spirit Medicine Nursery and sat on the bed.
The aura of the Glory's Will Tree drifted in the valley, urging the growth of the spirit herbs. The Scripture of Life and Death allowed the aura of the Glory's Will Tree to seep into one's body, continuously strengthening it.
He slowly calmed down and entered the void of his mind.
He tried to get Ksitigarbha Buddha to start reciting the sutra backwards, starting from the last word.
Numerous red lotuses were spat out and floated into the air. When they landed on his body, they suddenly turned into a ball of flames. Instantly, his entire body was set ablaze, as though he had turned into a ball of flames. The Buddha's body was like a real body, and the pain he felt was no different from his own body.
"Pfft!" He spat out a mouthful of blood.
He opened his eyes and lowered his head to look at his body. There were no flames, but he felt that there were flames burning continuously. Invisible flames were burning. Even though he had stopped chanting, there was no way to disperse the flames.
A moment later, he spat out another mouthful of blood.
"Junior Brother Zhao!" Xu Jingya knocked on the window.
Chu Li said in a deep voice, "Come in!"
Xu Jingya pushed the door open and came in. His face was as pale as a sheet, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth. There were two pools of blood on the ground. "Are you okay?"
Chu Li shook his head. "As expected, it can't be cultivated in reverse!"
"Are you alright?" Xu Jingya quickly asked. "You didn't go berserk, did you?"
She could sense that Chu Li's aura was weak, like a candle in the wind that could be extinguished at any time.
Chu Li smiled. "I won't die."
"Pfft!" He spat out another mouthful of blood.
Xu Jingya's expression changed slightly, and she quickly went forward to help him up. Her inner energy seeped into his body and carefully examined his injuries. She found that his internal organs were rapidly weakening, and a strange aura was circulating in his body. As soon as her inner energy came into contact with this aura, her inner energy was instantly annihilated.
She was shocked and did not dare to circulate her inner energy to examine him anymore. "What should I do?"
This was clearly a sign that he was going berserk, and his life was in danger. If this went on, he would not be able to hold on for long.
Chu Li smiled. "It's alright."
"You're still so stubborn!" Xu Jingya said angrily. "This won't do. I'll go and get Elder Zhou!"
As she spoke, she let go of Chu Li and hurriedly left the house.
Chu Li shook his head and smiled bitterly. The burning sensation in his body was getting stronger, and it was no different from being burned. This invisible flame followed him like a shadow, and channeling his inner energy did not help. Instead, channeling the Divine Light Technique only fueled the flames.
He had a flash of inspiration, and once again, he focused into the void of his mind to make the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture recite. This time, it was a proper recitation, and red lotuses floated out and landed on his body.
Instantly, a warm feeling surfaced in his heart. As the red lotuses landed on his body, he felt a sense of warmth like water and expelled some of the burning heat.
After reciting the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture twice, the red lotuses had extinguished the flames. His body felt cool as if he was standing in the evening breeze at the end of summer, and it was indescribably comfortable.
He exited the void of his mind, and his body still felt refreshed.
Using the Omniscient Mirror, he observed the changes in his body. He could vaguely see that his body had become thinner, and he had also become haggard. However, his body was as light as a feather, and he felt relaxed and comfortable.
With a thought, he entered the void of his mind again and recited the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture in reverse. As a result, the red lotuses turned into flames and burned his body once again.
Cultivating it in reverse was like heating up and lowering the temperature. It was as if his body was being tempered like iron, and his body became more solid and light.
The sound of hurried footsteps could be heard as Zhou Huang rushed into the house before Xu Jingya. He immediately started scolding Chu Li. "You little brat, have you gone mad? How can you practice martial arts on a whim? Practicing martial arts in reverse is no different from seeking death!"
Chu Li said, "Elder Zhou, don't be so nervous. It's fine."
"Look at you. You're fine!" Zhou Huang scolded him angrily. "You're so arrogant that you don't know your place. Who would dare to cultivate martial arts in reverse? I think that brat Qin saw through your arrogance, and that's why he harmed you!"
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
He knew that Qin Huaichuan had the intention to harm him, but he had gained a lot from it.
Qin Huaichuan was a blind cat that encountered a dead mouse. Cultivating the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture in reverse had a magical effect, but unfortunately, no one dared to try it. Qin Huaichuan himself would never dare to do it, and even if Chu Li told him, he would not dare to cultivate it in reverse.
When Zhou Huang probed Chu Li's body, he quickly withdrew his palm and looked at him in shock.
Chu Li smiled. "I won't die, will I?"
"I won't either!" Zhou Huang said impatiently.
He could sense that Chu Li's aura was filled with a destructive aura. It was not a trivial matter, and it would be disastrous if one were to come into contact with it.
He took out a jade porcelain bottle and poured out two pills, which he stuffed into Chu Li's mouth. "Don't cultivate anymore. Disperse your inner force and let the spirit pills suppress them. With these spirit pills, you won't die!"
Chu Li said, "Thank you, Elder Zhou."
"If you thank me, then behave yourself and chant the scripture properly!"
"It won't delay my chanting. Chanting doesn't require inner energy."
"That's good. I'm leaving." Zhou Huang scoffed. "Don't you dare mess around again!"
With two spirit pills, even a dying person could be saved. No matter how serious Zhao Dahe's injuries were, he would be able to recover, so there was no need to worry. However, his cultivation level might be completely gone, and he would have to cultivate again. Moreover, his body had become weak, and he did not know when he could recover.
He shook his head and left the house. This brat really brought this upon himself!
Chu Li smiled. "Senior Sister Xu, you should go back too."
