"Alright, let's go our separate ways. My cultivation level hasn't recovered yet. I don't want to drag you down with me," Chu Li said.
"You …!" Li Ruolan glared at him furiously.
After hearing what he said, he became the bad guy again!
Chu Li waved his hand and said, "I'll see you at the Great Light Peak. I'll take my leave first."
"Wait!" Li Ruolan scoffed.
However, Chu Li did not stop and left immediately.
Li Ruolan stomped her feet. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth and hurriedly chased after him.
Along the way, Li Ruolan did not speak to Chu Li at all.
Chu Li enjoyed the peace and quiet as he thought about his trip to Fairy's Capital.
It was said that the Secret Guardians Hall had informants everywhere, but it was far from that standard. There were blind spots, but there was no way to make up for these blind spots. Sometimes, there was a limit to manpower. Even the cities in his past life could not cover every corner with the help of the Heaven's Eye System.
Initially, he did not want to come to the Ji Dynasty to avoid being caught in a dilemma. If he encountered someone who wanted to kill him, should he kill or not?
However, after thinking about it, Li Ruolan came over on her own and it was inevitable that there would be conflicts and fights with the martial arts world of the Great Ji Dynasty. If he came over, he would be able to avoid conflicts to the greatest extent.
Deep down, he did not have deep feelings for the martial arts world of the Great Ji Dynasty.
The life and death of the people in the martial arts world were their own lives. Other than the High Duke's Public House and his friends, he could not be bothered to care about the life and death of others. He was not the savior of the world, he was just an ordinary person who wanted to live an exciting life again.
He hated King An and harbored hidden enmity towards the Emperor. Naturally, he did not have a good impression of the Ji Dynasty either. However, due to the existence of the High Duke's Public House, they were interdependent. If the Ji Dynasty was destroyed, the High Duke's Public House would not survive either. That was why he went undercover in the Holy Church of Light.
As a spy, his top priority now was to be promoted and reach the top as soon as possible. Only then would he be able to access the truly important information. No matter how powerful he was at the bottom, it would be a waste of his time if there was no important information.
As for weakening the Holy Church of Light's power or secretly harming Ji Xin, he did not care to do such things.
If he wanted to destroy the Holy Church of Light, he would have to ascend to the upper echelons, find its fatal weakness, and kill it in one strike. A small fight would only alert the enemy and expose himself. The Saint, Sun Mingyue, was not someone who could be easily fooled.
Based on his contribution in saving Ji Xin's life, he could probably be promoted by one level and become a branch leader.
Thinking of this, he revealed a smile. At least he didn't come here for nothing.
More importantly, he discovered the miraculous effects of the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture. Reversing the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture could not only temper the body, but it could also eliminate the abnormalities in the body.
For example, injuries and inner force. Reversing was actually destroying the body. While destroying the body, it would also destroy all the abnormalities in the body. The beauty of the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture was that life and death were interdependent. After destruction, it would be rebuilt. Through destruction, the old would be eliminated, and the new would be born. It would become stronger.
It was no wonder that he could comprehend the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture back then. The miraculous effect of the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture was faintly compatible with the Life and Death Scripture. However, the power of the Life and Death Scripture was stronger and more extreme. It required true death in order to improve.
Actually, Qin Huaichuan was right. Reversing the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture could indeed restore one's martial arts. It was a stroke of luck. Unfortunately, Qin Huaichuan did not dare to do it himself. His own injuries were enough to scare him.
Chu Li and Li Ruolan did not say a word as they silently arrived at the foot of the Great Light Peak. The sun was already setting in the west and the twilight was gradually rising.
Chu Li closed fist saluted. "Hurry up and go see your Senior Brother Ji. Goodbye!"
Li Ruolan cast a sidelong glance at him with her large charming eyes and rolled her eyes at him. Then, she snorted and left, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Chu Li returned to the Spirit Medicine Nursery.
When Zhou Huang heard the news from the protectors, he hurried out and said, "Good job, you're finally back. Where did you go?"
"To save someone," Chu Li replied.
Zhou Huang said, "Is saving one person more important than saving many people? Hurry up and go chant scriptures. Chant scriptures! "
"I've been on the road for a few days. I need to rest," Chu Li replied.
Zhou Huang took out a jade bottle from his inner pocket and poured out a pill before stuffing it into Chu Li's mouth. "Eat this and you'll regain your strength. Hurry up."
Chu Li could tell at a glance that it was the Vitality Strengthening Pill. It was a rare spirit pill. Not only could it replenish one's strength and inner energy, but it could also replenish one's spirit.
After swallowing the Vitality Strengthening Pill, Chu Li could feel warmth spreading from his stomach in no time. It was as if his entire body was immersed in a hot spring. In just a short while, he felt a hundred times more energetic. His entire body was filled with energy and he wanted to throw a punch to vent his energy.
"Alright, I'll go chant scriptures," Chu Li said.
At this moment, Xu Jingya, who was dressed in a green tunic, smiled faintly and curtsied.
"Young Xu, bring him along and quickly chant scriptures," Zhou Huang said.
Chu Li said, "Elder Zhou, I'll apply to participate in the war against the Qiu Dynasty this time."
"You haven't recovered your martial arts yet. Why are you participating in the war?" Zhou Huang waved his hand. "Just plant spirit herbs and refine pills if you have the time. It's safe and you'll be contributing to the war. Why not? If you don't participate in the war and focus on planting spirit herbs, I guarantee that you'll become a Branch Leader after this war!"
Chu Li shook his head. "No one will be convinced by this kind of contribution. It's better to fight on the battlefield and contribute to the war."
"You're really stubborn!" Zhou Huang scoffed. "You think you're invincible. Don't get killed in the end and give others the credit!"
Xu Jingya said, "Yes, Junior Brother Zhao, listen to Elder Zhou."
Chu Li shook his head. "Let's go, Senior Sister Xu."
Xu Jingya looked at Zhou Huang helplessly and brought Chu Li to the Spirit Medicine Nursery.
—
The next morning, Chu Li and Xu Jingya went to the Flavorful Tower together.
They arrived early, so there were not many people in the Flavorful Tower. They did not see Sun Lihua and the other two, but they saw Qin Huaichuan and Meng Luo. They saw Chu Li.
Qin Huaichuan smiled and gave a fist salute.
Chu Li scoffed and turned his gaze away, ignoring him.
Meng Luo gritted his teeth and scoffed. "Arrogant!"
Qin Huaichuan shook his head. "He has the right to be arrogant. Forget it, don't provoke him."
"This guy is too despicable. I really want to kill him with my sword!"
"Don't spout nonsense."
"Of course, I'm only saying it in front of you, Senior Brother Qin. I'm not stupid!"
"We're not provoking him now. It's fine as long as he doesn't provoke us." Qin Huaichuan shook his head. "I plotted against him. He'll probably bear a grudge and find an opportunity to take revenge."
"Then we'll fight him. It's not a big deal. He won't dare to kill us anyway!" Meng Luo scoffed.
Qin Huaichuan shook his head. "If he becomes our immediate superior, he'll have plenty of ways to torment us. Let's not get distracted. Let's cultivate and strive to climb higher than him!"
"Yes!" Meng Luo nodded angrily.
At this moment, a gentle and melodious voice rang out. "Where's Zhao Dahe?"
Chu Li looked up at Li Ruolan who had gracefully entered.
Li Ruolan was dressed in a white tunic. Her graceful figure outshone the female disciples present. Her charming and delicate face was solemn and calm as she said in a sweet voice, "Zhao Dahe has accumulated merits and become a branch leader. Radiance Clan will be promoted to be a branch leader in Gale City!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she took out an oval white jade token and went to Chu Li before handing it to him. "Give me your original token."
