The night passed peacefully. There were no more assassinations or disturbances.
Chu Li meditated for a night and realized that his Dantian was recovering faster than he expected. He frowned and gave up on cultivating to let it recover on its own. It was not a good thing to recover too quickly.
The Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture was actually a provocation to the Holy Church of Light's rules.
The other disciples were afraid of the crippling of their martial arts and dared not cross the line. They were afraid that it would take years or decades to cultivate again and they would never be able to catch up to their peers.
Therefore, the strict rules were like a long knife hanging above their heads that could fall at any time. Grandmasters like them did not dare to act rashly.
However, to those who cultivated the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture, the rules were not that scary. Even if their martial arts were crippled, they would be able to recover in half a month. The price of violating the rules was too small.
Chu Li knew that it was not a good thing.
Not to mention the disciples' jealousy and hatred, even the Saint would not tolerate someone who could override the rules. She would definitely have more powerful methods.
The Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture was a double-edged sword. It was wonderful but also harmful.
His crippling of his martial arts this time was an opportunity to get out of this predicament. He wanted to let everyone know that it was not that easy to recover from a crippled martial arts. He would not be able to recover as quickly as Qin Huaichuan did in just half a month.
Although Qin Huaichuan seemed smart, he could not see through this.
The next morning, after they had eaten their rations, they hurried on with their journey. By nightfall, they had arrived at the Great Light Peak under the moonlight.
Chu Li returned to his house in the Spirit Medicine Nursery while Li Ruolan and Ji Xin returned to the Third Peak.
—
The morning air was exceptionally fresh, especially in the Spirit Medicine Nursery where the spiritual energy of the Glory's Will Tree was released.
Chu Li opened the window and went outside to sit on the cattail hassock to continue cultivating.
Zhou Huang strode in and sized him up. "Young fella, I heard you came back last night?"
Chu Li slowly got up and fist saluted. "Elder Zhou."
"Huh, what happened?" Zhou Huang noticed his strange expression. "Are you hurt?"
"My martial arts were crippled." Chu Li shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Cripple your martial arts!" Zhou Huang was shocked. "Don't tell me it's the torture chamber?"
Chu Li replied, "The torture chamber hasn't even had the time to record my merits. I went to the Qiu Dynasty and killed a disciple of the Hai Cang Mountain. That's why I was hunted down by the Hai Cang Mountain. In the end, they crippled my martial arts!"
"You guys went to Qiu Dynasty?" Zhou Huang shook his head. "Hai Cang Mountain's sword technique is top-notch. It's extremely powerful. Your Divine Light Sword might not be able to defeat it!"
"I'm no match for him." Chu Li sighed.
Even if he were to meet him again, he would not be able to do anything even though he knew his opponent's strange skill. He could only avoid clashing swords with him and find an opening to attack.
However, Hai Cang Mountain's swordsmanship was profound. It was not something that could be avoided even if one wanted to.
Zhou Huang extended his chubby hand and patted Chu Li's shoulder. "It's good enough that you're still alive. That's Hai Cang Mountain we're talking about. They're not afraid of the Holy Church of Light!"
Chu Li said helplessly, "I guess that's the only way."
"Cultivate diligently then," Zhou Huang said with a smile. "You have the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture, so it won't take long."
Chu Li sighed. "The Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture isn't that profound."
"Didn't Qin Huaichuan recover his martial arts in less than a month?"
"He injured himself. He was just putting on an act to frame me!" Chu Li scoffed. "I think it'll take a while for him to recover. Fortunately, I've only been cultivating for a few months now. It won't take me more than a few months to cultivate again!"
"That's true. You're a genius!" Zhou Huang chuckled. "But a genius like you has another mission. You have to help me."
Chu Li said helplessly, "I don't have the time now. I need to recover my martial arts."
"You're at Great Light Peak. You're not in danger!" Zhou Huang said. "It doesn't matter when I recover my martial arts. Help me grow more Spirit Hu Grass first. I need it urgently!"
Chu Li frowned and thought for a while. "Refine the Fortifying Pill?"
He was now proficient in the Hundred Herb Scripture and the Treasured Pill Scripture. He could name a spirit herb and immediately figure out its properties and functions. Coupled with the current situation, he could guess that he was going to refine the Fortifying Pill.
"There's going to be a war. How can we not have the Fortifying Pill?" Zhou Huang said. "Don't be lazy. Hurry up and cultivate. You might be able to make it in time for the war. It's the best opportunity to make a contribution. You might even be promoted to a patrol after the war!"
Chu Li could not help but laugh.
He knew how far away he was from being a patrol. He had to become a branch leader first, gain experience, and perform well to accumulate merits to become a patrol. It was not something that could be achieved overnight.
"The Spirit Hu Grass has been planted!" Zhou Huang said. "There are four Spirit Medicine Nurseries. Young Xu will bring you there later. Help me take care of them. Chant scriptures to make them mature faster. They need it urgently!"
"Alright." Chu Li reluctantly agreed.
As they spoke, Xu Jingya, who was dressed in a green tunic, slowly arrived outside the Spirit Medicine Nurseries.
She had a beautiful appearance and looked very comfortable. She was like a chrysanthemum.
"Elder Zhou, Junior Brother Zhao." Xu Jingya curtsied.
Chu Li fist saluted. "Thank you, Senior Sister Xu."
Xu Jingya smiled faintly and did not say a word.
Zhou Huang's expression suddenly became amiable. "Young Xu, bring him to the four Spirit Medicine Nurseries. Watch over him and let him chant scriptures. You should learn it well too. You might be able to master it. You're very talented when it comes to Spirit Medicine."
Chu Li smiled. "Elder Zhou, this is my unique antique study. How can I teach it to an outsider?"
"What outsider?!" Zhou Huang's expression turned serious. He scoffed. "Young Xu is from the same sect as you. Moreover, you're also from the Spirit Medicine Nurseries. We're family. Don't keep it to yourself!"
Xu Jingya hurriedly said, "Elder Zhou!"
Zhou Huang immediately became amiable again. He smiled and said, "Don't stand on ceremony with him. This fellow's ambition doesn't lie here. It's fine if you learn it."
Chu Li said, "Elder Zhou, who said that my ambition doesn't lie here?!"
"Young?? Huai?? Huai?? Handsome and humble?
Chu Li touched his chin and sighed. "That's a good idea, but unfortunately, I don't have the strength to pass it on even if I wanted to. I don't know what's going on either, but when I start chanting, I feel so comfortable and lazy. It's as if the spirit herbs around me have come alive and can talk to me."
"Oh?" Zhou Huang widened his eyes in curiosity.
This was the first time Chu Li had mentioned this.
Chu Li said, "As for how I did it, I don't know either. One night, they became like this. When I was chanting the scriptures, I wanted them to grow faster, and they grew faster."
"Good lad, I didn't expect such a good thing to happen!" Zhou Huang exclaimed.
He did not doubt it. There were many strange things in this world, and Chu Li's was not considered strange.
Chu Li looked at Xu Jingya apologetically. "So, Senior Sister Xu, it's not that I don't want to teach you, but I really don't know how to do it."
"It's okay." Xu Jingya smiled faintly. "We can make them grow faster through other means. Let's go."
Zhou Huang quickly said, "Young lad, chant the scriptures properly."
Chu Li waved his hand and followed Xu Jingya out of the Spirit Medicine Nurseries.
