After Chu Li finished his meal, he left the Flavorful Tower with Xu Jingya.
The two of them walked slowly as they chatted while digesting their food.
"Junior Brother Zhao, there's a reason why you don't have good relationships with others." Xu Jingya shook her head. "How can others not be angry when they see how you treat Junior Sister Mo? She's a weak and pretty girl, so 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, they won't follow me!"
"… That's true." Xu Jingya nodded.
She stared at his ugly face and sighed to herself. Junior Brother Zhao was very clear-headed. He observed others coldly and saw through his situation.
He was ugly, but his martial arts skills were extremely high, and he was a country boy. All these factors were enough to make the disciples respect him from afar and secretly ostracize him.
His martial arts skills were powerful, but he did not have much prestige among the disciples, so they would not let go of the opportunity to make fun of him.
On the other hand, Qin Huaichuan had a high prestige among the disciples. He was handsome, skillful, and experienced, which made everyone admire him.
When Chu Li first came to the Li Dynasty with Zhao Dahe's identity and personality, he did not want to make friends. He did not want to be associated with anyone so that he would not suffer when he dealt with the Holy Church of Light in the future.
The current situation was exactly what he wanted, but to 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, spurring the growth of the spirit herbs. The Life and Death Scripture allowed the aura of the Glory's Will Tree to enter his body and strengthen it.
He slowly calmed down and entered the void of his mind.
He tried to get Ksitigarbha Buddha to recite the scripture backward, 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.
In a flash, he focused into the void of his mind again and asked the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture to 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. His body had become slightly thinner, and he had also become haggard. However, his body was light as if he had turned into 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 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 angrily. "You're so proud that you don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Who would dare to cultivate martial arts in reverse? I think that young fellow 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 Chu Li had gained a lot from it.
Qin Huaichuan was a blind cat that ran into 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. 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 and said, "I won't die, right?"
"I won't live either!" Zhou Huang said impatiently.
He could sense that Chu Li's body was filled with an aura of destruction. 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. "Young fellow, don't 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 would 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.
Zhou Huang shook his head and left the house. This young fellow brought this upon himself!
Chu Li smiled. "Senior Sister Xu, you should go back too."
