He could feel that the atmosphere at Great Light Peak was getting tenser and the war was approaching. The war between the Li Dynasty and the Qiu Dynasty was imminent.
Li Ruolan seemed to have forgotten about him and did not appear again.
However, Chu Li knew that Li Ruolan was deliberately distancing herself from him to prevent Ji Xin from being jealous. He could tell that Li Ruolan was sincere toward Ji Xin from how much she cared about him.
Even if he could not have such a gentle and charming beauty, it would be good if she could fall in love with him. However, she had fallen in love with someone else.
Chu Li sighed to himself and felt a little melancholic.
He had been maintaining the slow growth of his cultivation level. He spent most of his time cultivating and did not slack off. However, when he used the Life and Death Scripture to disperse a part of his inner energy, it seemed like his cultivation level was growing very slowly.
In the evening, after he finished chanting at the tenth Spirit Medicine Nursery, he got up and went to the Flavorful Tower with Xu Jingya.
Xu Jingya did not talk much. Most of the time, she was thinking quietly. She had something on her mind, so no one could guess what she was thinking about. Chu Li could clearly see that she was thinking about the planting and habits of Spirit Medicine. She was so focused that she was almost crazy, which made him respect her.
"I've recited ten Spirit Medicine Nursery today. If I continue like this tomorrow, my lips will break." Chu Li sighed. The two walked side by side.
Xu Jingya said, "I think it'll be done after this batch."
"The war is coming." Chu Li shook his head. "It's a pity that we can't join."
"Junior Brother Zhao, you can leave the peak. It shouldn't be difficult for you to join, right?" Xu Jingya asked.
The two stayed at the foot of the peak while the Flavorful Tower was halfway up the mountain. They were the only ones along the way and did not meet any disciples.
"I don't think I'll be able to join." Chu Li shook his head. "I don't know when my cultivation level will recover."
The two chatted as they arrived at the Flavorful Tower.
Chu Li's eyes lit up when he glanced around. He brought Xu Jingya to Mo Cuicui's table.
Sun Lihua and Song Donglin were there too. When they saw him staring at Mo Cuicui with a burning gaze, they shook their heads and laughed helplessly.
Xu Jingya gave a fist salute and greeted him calmly.
"Junior Sister Mo," Chu Li said.
Mo Cuicui gritted her teeth and left without saying anything. Soon, she returned with a tray containing four dishes and a soup.
Chu Li took it and handed it to Xu Jingya. "Please make another tray."
Mo Cuicui glared at him fiercely.
Chu Li shook his head and sighed. "The last time I left the mountain, I was almost killed by Altar Leader Mo!"
Mo Cuicui turned around and left.
A moment later, she brought a tray over. It was still four dishes and a soup. She gently placed it in front of Chu Li. She gritted her teeth but softened her voice. "Brother Zhao, please enjoy!"
Chu Li smiled in satisfaction. "Thank you, Junior Sister Mo!"
"Alright, stop fooling around." Sun Li Hua waved her hand and smiled. "Junior Brother Zhao, have you not recovered your martial arts yet?"
Chu Li shook his head.
"Logically speaking, you should be able to recover in half a month after practicing the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture." Sun Lihua frowned.
Song Donglin asked, "Could it be that you haven't practiced enough?"
Chu Li said, "I really didn't discover any miraculous effects of the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture on martial arts recovery!"
"What a pity," Sun Li Hua sighed.
As they spoke, footsteps could be heard. Qin Huaichuan and Meng Luo arrived at the table.
Chu Li frowned at him.
Qin Huaichuan smiled and said, "Junior Brother Zhao, I heard that you haven't been able to recover your martial arts?"
Chu Li replied, "You don't have to worry about me, Senior Brother Qin!"
"We're both practicing the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture. Of course, we should have a good exchange." Qin Huaichuan smiled. "You probably didn't practice it properly, so you couldn't recover your cultivation level quickly. Do you want me to teach you?"
"No need!" Chu Li said impatiently. "How are you injured and how am I injured? They're not the same thing! "
"You were injured by a sword, right?" Qin Huaichuan asked.
Chu Li said, "The Qiu Dynasty's Hai Cang Mountain's sword technique is strange, and the injuries are strange too. It's difficult to recover."
"Alright, even so, you should've recovered your cultivation level long ago." Qin Huaichuan shook his head. "Otherwise, you wouldn't be practicing the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture. Recovering your martial arts is a piece of cake for the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture!"
"The Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture isn't that strange!" Chu Li shook his head and laughed.
Qin Huaichuan said, "You couldn't recover quickly because you don't know how to use it."
Chu Li frowned at him.
Qin Huaichuan smiled. "Do you want me to tell you?"
"No!" Chu Li scoffed.
Qin Huaichuan shook his head. "If I don't point it out, you'll never be able to figure it out!"
"What condition!" Chu Li scoffed.
"Take it as an apology for what happened last time." Qin Huaichuan sighed. "I've been feeling guilty ever since that incident."
Chu Li glanced at him and shook his head.
Qin Huaichuan said, "We're both cultivating the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture after all, so we can communicate with each other in the future. It'll be difficult for me to cultivate it alone."
"… Alright, how do I use it?" Chu Li scoffed.
He sized Qin Huaichuan up. After cultivating the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture, he could see through Qin Huaichuan's thoughts. He was full of evil tricks and was plotting against him. Chu Li wanted to see how far he could go.
"Cultivate it in reverse." Qin Huaichuan said, "This is the mystery of the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture. If you dare to cultivate it in reverse with normal martial arts, you'll be courting death. However, the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture has its uses in reverse."
"I see …" Chu Li pondered and nodded. "Alright, I'll give it a try."
Qin Huaichuan fist saluted and smiled. "Then I wish Junior Brother Zhao good luck in recovering your cultivation level soon!"
"I hope so." Chu Li fist saluted and said coldly.
He knew that Qin Huaichuan was full of evil tricks and wanted to plot against him, but he was also curious about the consequences of cultivating the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture in reverse. He had never thought about cultivating it in reverse before, but he wanted to give it a try this time.
Qin Huaichuan did not know the consequences of cultivating it in reverse either. He speculated based on the normal heart technique. If he cultivated it in reverse, going mad would be a light consequence.
The light consequence would be going mad, and the worst case would be death.
Chu Li had something to rely on, but he was eager to give it a try.
After Qin Huaichuan and Sun Lihua left, Sun Lihua asked, "Junior Brother Zhao, are you really planning to cultivate the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture in reverse?"
"I want to give it a try." Chu Li nodded.
Sun Lihua frowned. "This doesn't seem like Senior Brother Qin's style. Once he becomes an enemy, he'll go all out and beat them until they collapse. It's impossible for him to turn an enemy into a friend halfway through."
Chu Li smiled. "Senior Sister Sun, are you worried that he'll trick me?"
"Most likely." Sun Lihua nodded slowly.
Song Donglin said, "Yes, you have to be careful!"
"How will you know if you don't try?" Chu Li said.
"You …" Sun Lihua shook her head.
Mo Cuicui sneered. "Senior Sister Sun, you really have nothing better to do than worry. If he wants to die, let him!"
Chu Li cast a sidelong glance at her. "If I die, won't that be exactly what you and Altar Leader Mo want?"
"Exactly!" Mo Cuicui scoffed. "Go ahead and cultivate until you die!"
"I'd like to see if you can cultivate until I die!" Chu Li scoffed.
Xu Jingya looked at Chu Li thoughtfully.
Sun Lihua said, "Many of our Holy Church's disciples have gone to the Qiu Dynasty. I think they've already started fighting. It's a pity that we can't join them."
"It's too dangerous to go to the Qiu Dynasty," Song Donglin said. "It's better not to go. Junior Brother Zhao, you've benefited from a disaster. You can avoid it."
