Qinghe Li family.
In the three years that Li Wuyou was the head of the family, he worked hard to make the country flourish.
Now, the Li family was already the richest family in the county.
A deep mansion with three entrances and three exits.
It occupied the most prosperous and wealthy location in Qinghe County.
It was a full thousand feet.
Inside the mansion, there were pavilions, golden carvings, jade buildings, and gardens.
All kinds of exotic flowers and herbs were like spring.
Some people even said that this place was not worse than the imperial garden in the palace.
And the maids, servants, and guards were even more in groups.
But, there were so many people.
No one knew that Li Wuyou went to Xiaoyun Temple in the heavy rain and killed a hundred monks like a madman.
People thought that he was recuperating as usual.
Li Wuyou quietly returned to his residence.
Then, he entered the underground secret room that he spent a lot of money to hire people to build.
It was thirty feet square.
It was surrounded by copper and iron walls.
In the middle, there was a white jade bed.
At the head of the bed, there was a box covered with a red silk cloth.
"Everything is ready. We can start now."
Li Wuyou gently touched the red silk cloth. His pale face flashed with heat.
In the box, there was the elixir that he spent a year and a half refining.
Soul Stealing Elixir.
… …
Since he knew that he would not live long, Li Wuyou had been thinking of ways.
He prayed to God and Buddha, and sought medicine.
He had used all the means he could.
But it was no use.
He could feel that his life was rapidly passing away.
Li Wuyou was very unwilling.
Why was he so talented and intelligent, but he could only live for a short twenty years?
And those mediocre, ignorant and stupid people could live for sixty or seventy years?
So, he wanted to change his fate!
Two years ago.
Li Wuyou bought a strange jade slip from the tomb robber.
On it, it recorded the method of soul stealing from ancient times.
Using one's own soul to occupy another person's body and live in a different way.
This sounded like a fantasy story.
However, desperate people would always grab any straw that could save their lives at all costs.
Li Wuyou believed it.
He began to make preparations in secret.
In a year and a half, he gathered all kinds of rare medicinal herbs and refined the Soul Stealing Pill.
Today, he went to Xiao Yun Temple again.
After killing a hundred Buddhist disciples, he had gathered a hundred drops of heart blood.
Everything was ready.
…
Putting the box away, Li Wuyou walked out of the secret chamber.
The bronze qilin beside the rotating desk was placed on the table.
As the gears rubbed against each other in a low voice, the door of the secret room closed tightly.
Li Wuyou walked to the front hall and instructed the people outside.
"Tell Li Xingyun to come and see me."
Li Xingyun was Li Wuyou's cousin.
From the day Li Wuyou decided to seize the soul, he had been looking for a substitute.
A substitute had to fulfill at least two conditions.
The first was the Divine Soul.
The soul of the substitute could not be too strong, which meant that it could not be too smart.
Otherwise, if he failed to seize the soul, he might suffer a backlash.
Next was the physical body.
The substitute's physical body had to have decent talent in martial arts.
Li Wuyou didn't want to spend so much effort just to steal a piece of trash's soul.
Hard work paid off.
Li Wuyou found Li Xingyun, who had the blood of the Li family, from a branch of the Li family.
The blood of the Jianghu was a special kind of blood.
It contained a strange energy.
It could naturally temper the physical body.
Those who had the blood of the Li family, their bones, muscles, skin, and so on were much tougher than ordinary people.
And after being injured, they recovered very quickly.
In addition, they had great strength and the upper limit of their growth was about five times that of ordinary people!
They were most suitable for cultivating external martial arts.
Generally, those who had the blood of the Li family could become external Connate experts.
If the cultivation method was suitable, they could even break through to Connate Perfection.
They were almost invincible in the same realm.
Li Xingyun fulfilled both requirements.
Therefore, Li Wuyou secretly arranged to create an opportunity for him.
In less than two years, the latter's reputation in the Li Clan had soared, and he had become the chosen successor.
Of course, Li Wuyou gave him the identity of the successor for his own sake.
This way, after seizing the soul, he could legitimately control the Li family.
"Yes!"
Outside Li Wuyou's house, no matter if it was day or night, there would be a servant waiting.
Hearing the order, that person immediately trotted out to send the message.
… …
"It's going to start soon."
"Let's make preparations first."
Hearing the footsteps outside fade away, Li Wuyou took out the Soul Stealing Pill and the heart's blood.
The pill was milky white.
A strong medicinal fragrance instantly filled the entire room.
At the position close to the pill, there was even some substantial dense mist.
It was extremely mysterious.
Drip.
Li Wuyou slowly dripped a hundred drops of heart's blood on the Soul Stealing Pill.
Chi la!
A halo burst out from the pill, and then the blood was quickly absorbed.
The milky white color was covered.
The pill turned red.
At the same time, some flame-like patterns flowed on its surface.
Using blood as a guide was a necessary process to take the Soul Stealing Pill.
This way, its medicinal effect could be raised to the extreme.
"Phew!"
Li Wuyou felt the heat from the Soul Stealing Pill, and his face was full of anticipation.
Success or failure depended on this.
If he succeeded, he would not die.
If he failed, he would disappear from this world forever.
"My fate is in my own hands!"
Li Wuyou said to himself, and directly stuffed the Soul Stealing Pill into his mouth.
Boom!
The powerful and rich medicinal effect, like a flood released from a gate, quickly spread between his chest and abdomen.
In the blink of an eye, it filled the bones all over his body.
"Ah!"
The next moment, Li Wuyou's body suddenly stiffened, and his face became distorted because of the severe pain.
He felt that something was forcibly stripping his soul from his muscles, bones, meridians, and other parts of his body.
His body began to shrink.
His black hair had turned completely white.
His skin wrinkled and wrapped around his bones.
His eyes were darker.
The whites of his eyes looked turbid.
And there was a little heat between his eyebrows.
It even bulged.
Because all the souls were gathered there, and there was a sign of breaking out of his body.
"Ready."
Li Wuyou gritted his teeth and endured all the pain. Then, he barely controlled his almost crippled body and leaned against the couch.
Next, he just had to wait for Li Xingyun to arrive.
…
In the front yard of the Li family.
On the wide training field covered by flowers, there was a burly figure dancing with a long saber.
His face was rough.
His eyes were as fierce as a beast's.
The muscles on his body, through his clothes, emitted the strength of King Kong.
It was like a moving hill.
The saber in his hand turned into a shadow, and when it slashed the air, it could make a whooshing sound.
It was really extraordinary.
This person was Li Xingyun.
Early-stage Houtian.
The heir to the next patriarch of the Li family.
"Young Master Yun, the patriarch wants you to go over."
A servant's reminder came from the door.
The saber light that filled the sky converged, and with a bang, the tip of the saber stabbed into the ground.
Dust splashed.
Li Xingyun turned his head and saw the servant's face clearly. He asked impatiently,
"What's going on? What is that sickly guy doing again? "
This servant had already been bribed by him to be in charge of keeping an eye on Li Wuyou.
Li Xingyun didn't know that everything he had in the Li family was arranged by Li Wuyou and given to him.
He thought that he was talented and extremely smart!
He thought that he was fated to be the chosen one.
He was the future hope of the Li family!
Therefore, he had long disliked Li Wuyou, this stumbling block!
"I heard from the doctor yesterday that the patriarch won't be able to hold on for a few more days."
The servant knew about Li Wuyou's situation and smiled obsequiously.
"Young Master Yun, you're probably invited at this time to make arrangements and pass the position of the patriarch to you."
"Really?"
Li Xingyun was overjoyed and smiled.
"That's great. I've been looking forward to this day for a long time."
"When I become the patriarch, I'll definitely treat you well!"
"Let's go! Let's go and take a look! "
