Yin Qingsi was mysterious, but the Crippled Zen Master was even more so.
The Zen Valley had many secrets. But Yin Qingsi did not tell Lu Li. Lu Li would not ask or use psychic power to check.
Lu Li and Yin Qingsi drank in the pavilion for an hour. None of the more than 20 Semi-God Realm warriors came in, which put Lu Li's mind at ease.
What should he do next?
Lu Li had no idea. At the very least, he was safe for now. Yin Qingsi had bought him some time.
He had enough time to take control of the Wicked Bead. If he could crack the seals of the Wicked Bead, Lu Li's abilities would be greatly enhanced.
"Young Master Lu!"
Pointing to a cabin, Yin Qingsi said, "You can stay here. You can stay as long as you want.
You will be absolutely safe in the Zen Valley. Of this, you can rest assured. "
Yin Qingsi's reiteration put Lu Li's mind at ease. He nodded and followed Yin Qingsi into the cabin.
The cabin was shabby. There was only a bed, a bathroom, a chair, and a cushion.
Shabby as it was, it was clean. Lu Li took a look and said with satisfaction, "Thank you, Young Lady Yin. You go ahead. I will continue to take control of the Wicked Bead."
Lu Li took out the Wicked Bead in front of Yin Qingsi without hesitation. The latter turned around and said with a smile, "Emperor Heng was talented and looked down upon the others. He rose quickly after he went to the Divinity.
He has high standards. Young Master Lu, it is not easy for you to pass his test and get this Relic. "
Lu Li noticed that there was not a trace of envy or jealousy on Yin Qingsi's face. Instead, she was happy for him. Lu Li was even more curious about Yin Qingsi.
Which warrior would not be tempted by a Relic?
Unless Yin Qingsi had a Relic herself.
Last time in the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos, Yin Qingsi was hunted down and almost lost her life. She could not have a Relic.
The only explanation was that Yin Qingsi really saw Lu Li as a friend, a friend more than a family member.
Lu Li felt warm inside. He said with a smile, "I did have some luck. I learned a Profound Meaning in the Forbidden Ground of Elder God.
That Profound Meaning can control Feather Wind. By controlling the Feather Wind, I entered an underground hall and obtained this bead by chance. "
"Feather Wind?"
Yin Qingsi was surprised. She had been to the Forbidden Ground of Elder God and knew how powerful the Feather Wind was. She gave a thumbs-up and said, "This is not luck anymore. Being able to control the Feather Wind has already passed one of Emperor Heng's tests.
You're the only one who can obtain this pearl, no one else can. "
Lu Li had thought about this. He smiled gently, looked into Yin Qingsi's eyes and said, "Young Lady Yin, is there a chance to cure your eyes?
If you need any spirit materials, I'll help you find them later. "
"Yes!"
Yin Qingsi thought for a while and said, "Great Ancestor said that as long as we can find a kind of Spirit Herb, it can be cured. That Spirit Herb is called Mongol's Tongue Orchid. But I don't think this kind of Spirit Herb can be found in any big world."
"Oh right …"
At this point, Yin Qingsi used psychic power to check Lu Li's bone marrow and said, "The poison in your body is not cured yet.
I've already figured out the antidote recipe. I'll help you refine an antidote later. "
"No need."
Lu Li shook his head. "Leng Wuxin did it. She is in the Wicked Bead right now, making the antidote for me."
"That's good!"
Yin Qingsi nodded and said, "Young Master Lu, take a rest and cultivate. I will cultivate in the room next door.
If you need anything, just tell the maid outside to call me. "
"Okay!"
Lu Li watched as Yin Qingsi left. He sat in the room for a while and then took out the Wicked Bead to work on it.
He sat with his legs crossed to cultivate. Soon, he noticed a problem.
The Xuan Qi in heaven and earth in the Zen Valley was not weaker than in the Wicked Bead. There must be a formation of Xuan Energy gathering here.
Lu Li understood why the Crippled Zen Master was so horrifying. The Crippled Zen Master must be proficient in all kinds of formations.
Half of the first layer of the seal had been dissolved. At Lu Li's current speed, he could finish in half a year at most.
"I'd better go back to the Wicked Bead."
Lu Li dashed into the small hall in the Wicked Bead. He could dissolve the seal in the Wicked Bead as well as outside. He would feel safer in the Wicked Bead.
He told Leng Wuxin to continue making the antidote while the others cultivated. He sat with his legs crossed to cultivate.
…
Yin Qingsi did not go back to her cabin. Instead, she went to the Crippled Zen Master's cabin and walked to the huge parasol tree in the backyard.
The Crippled Zen Master was playing chess by himself. His eyelids were closed. The pot of tea next to him had gone cold. His hand was floating in the air, like a statue.
Yin Qingsi walked over and heated up a pot of tea for him.
Then, she squatted down next to him. The Crippled Zen Master's eyelids twitched as he asked, "Girl, do you like this young man?"
Yin Qingsi blushed. She shook her head and said, "I only see him as a friend. He once saved my life."
"Well …"
The Crippled Zen Master threw Yin Qingsi a look and said coldly, "You'd better not fall in love with him. Otherwise, you will bring harm to this young man!"
"Bring harm to Lu Li?" Yin Qingsi was surprised. "Why do you say that?"
The Crippled Zen Master said nothing. After the time for half an incense stick to burn, he sighed and said, "I didn't want to tell you some things, but I will tell you part of it now."
Yin Qingsi was moved. She held her breath. The Crippled Zen Master said after a pause, "Girl, I lied to you when I told you that he was an orphan."
"What?"
Yin Qingsi was shocked and confused. She looked at the Crippled Zen Master and asked, "Forefather … why did you lie to me?
So, I have parents and relatives? "
"Yes!"
The Crippled Zen Master nodded and sighed, "But I cannot tell you about my family now. I have my reasons for lying to you.
When you reach the Semi-God Realm, I will tell you many things. "
Yin Qingsi lowered her head in disappointment. Since the Crippled Zen Master had said that he would tell her later, she could not get any more information from him now.
The Crippled Zen Master put on a solemn expression and said, "Your family is powerful and your background is extraordinary. So … you cannot fall in love with the average people.
For example, if you fall in love with that young man, I will kill him without any hesitation. Nobody can stop me. "
"What?"
Yin Qingsi looked up at once. She could tell from the Crippled Zen Master's words that he was trying to convey some killing intent.
The fact that she was being so nice to Lu Li had made the Crippled Zen Master want to kill her. If she really fell in love with Lu Li, Lu Li would die for sure.
"Powerful family?
Extraordinary background? "
Yin Qingsi was confused. There were only a handful of major families in the four universes and five minor universes. What kind of family could be worthy of the word "powerful" mentioned by the Crippled Zen Master?
None!
The Crippled Zen Master was the most powerful warrior in the Central Imperial Universe. Theoretically speaking, he should be one of the most powerful warriors in the four universes.
Even the most powerful family in the Divine Imperial Universe should not be powerful to the Crippled Zen Master.
Besides, there was no family with the surname Yin in the four universes.
"Can it be …"
