Chapter 191: What have I done to deserve my senior brothers to treat me differently?
The attack on Chu Ya did not attract much attention, mainly because the parties involved did not publicize it, after all, it was quite embarrassing.
Moreover, the attacker did not use any ruthless force, but just knocked Chu Ya unconscious, which was more like a prank.
The people from the Law Enforcement Hall symbolically checked it, but did not find anything, so they let it go.
However, not long after, Chu Ya was attacked for the second time, which made the sect pay attention to this matter.
If you challenge the sect rules, you will be considered naughty once, but twice, it will seem that you do not take the sect seriously.
It is said that the weapon used by the attacker in the second sneak attack was a kitchen knife, which cut off half of Chu Ya's hair.
This made Li Xiuchang a little worried about being implicated. After all, there are not many people who use kitchen knives as weapons, so don't let him be investigated.
Fortunately, even if the sect sent elders to investigate personally this time, no clues were found.
The attacker was very clean and did not leave any clues.
But what hatred did this person have with Senior Brother Chu Ya?
Li Xiuchang said he couldn't figure it out.
Senior Brother Chu Ya's personality doesn't seem like he would make enemies with others. He is generous and never cares about trivial matters. The only thing that might offend people is his bad habit of expressing his feelings.
Li Xiuchang thought there were two possibilities. One was that he offended a powerful female cultivator by expressing his feelings everywhere.
The other was that he offended a powerful male cultivator who had a relationship with that female cultivator by expressing his feelings for her.
But this didn't matter to Li Xiuchang much. As long as Senior Brother Chu Ya didn't get beaten to death and didn't let him lose this big client, it would be fine.
Well, if he was really beaten to death, would he not have to pay his debt?
Without a creditor, there would be no debt.
"What a sin." Li Xiuchang was ashamed of the thought that flashed through his mind. He should look at the long term. Senior Brother Chu Ya's life would obviously create greater benefits.
After returning to the sect, Li Xiuchang's life became calmer, without the fighting and killing when he was traveling outside.
Li Xiuchang was able to calm down and farm, cook, make elixirs, refine tools, brew wine, read books, and understand the truth...
That's right, Li Xiuchang started reading.
He read "A Brief History of Demonic Dao", "Demon History", "Outline of Buddhist History", "General History of Buddhism" and so on in the sect's library.
He tried to find some clues about Senior Brother Motu and Senior Brother Gui Wuyan.
After reading more than a dozen history books, Li Xiuchang looked at those powerful people in the history of Demonic Dao and Buddhist Dao, and everyone looked like his two senior brothers.
In the end, he didn't find any clues, but he did understand a lot of history.
In addition to reading, Li Xiuchang was also constantly comprehending and practicing his own "Equality Dao", intending to cultivate the Dao seeds in the sea of consciousness into the "Heart of Ten Thousand Daos" as soon as possible.
In addition, he also took time to strengthen his natal magic weapon and the second diamond pill.
The natal magic weapon is not just thrown into the dantian for warming. Most people's natal magic weapons are limited by the material level, and there is an upper limit to the improvement. In the process of improving the cultivation, high-level materials must be continuously added for smelting.
Li Xiuchang's Zanpakuto has great potential. It uses growth materials, but it has not yet reached its upper limit. However, it can also increase the growth rate of the natal magic weapon through smelting.
Li Xiuchang beat the soul gold he got from the Sword-asking Sect into thin slices. By repeatedly adding points, he harvested several tons of soul gold.
Then he took a piece of soul gold and melted it into the Zanpakuto.
With Li Xiuchang's level of refining, he could not forge and process the lower-grade magic weapon again, but the Zanpakuto was his natal magic weapon. The absolute control of the cultivator over the natal magic weapon greatly reduced the difficulty of smelting and processing the natal magic weapon.
Soul gold and Qianjun stone are both auxiliary materials. Their function is to increase the speed of the natal magic weapon to absorb mana, that is, to directly increase the growth rate of the magic weapon.
It can be said to be a god-level auxiliary material for creating natal magic weapons. The Wanjing Oil in the auxiliary materials can be used for any type of magic weapon.
However, it is also a rare resource monopolized by the Sword-asking Sect and is rarely sold to the outside world.
The Zanpakuto was originally absorbing Li Xiuchang's mana slowly in the Dantian, so slowly that Li Xiuchang could hardly feel it. This is also the normal state of most natal magic weapons.
The upgrade of the natal magic weapon, in addition to the promotion of the cultivator's cultivation, is originally to rely on time to slowly endure.
But after the integration of the soul essence gold, the speed of absorbing mana increased significantly!
According to this situation, Li Xiuchang increased the integration of soul essence gold, cut off a fist-sized piece of soul essence gold, and tried to integrate it into the Zanpakuto crystal core little by little.
Such a large piece of soul essence gold is probably enough for more than a dozen disciples of the Sword Sect.
In the end, only about two-thirds of it was integrated, and the Zanpakuto crystal core was saturated and could not continue to integrate soul essence gold.
The magical thing is that even if such a large piece of soul essence gold was integrated, the size of the Zanpakuto crystal core did not change at all, and it was still the size of a basketball.
Li Xiuchang took the Zanpakuto crystal core back into the Dantian, and an amazing scene appeared-the Zanpakuto crystal core was madly absorbing Li Xiuchang's mana!
Li Xiuchang's mana consumption speed is comparable to constantly casting small spells.
That is to say, his mana is so strong that ordinary people can't stand such consumption, and they may not be able to improve their cultivation. All the mana they have cultivated is used to feed their life magic weapon.
But Li Xiuchang is not afraid, he has two diamond pills, and his mana is condensed and pure, so he is not afraid of being sucked. If it is really sucked dry, he can use the length to increase his mana.
This is a good thing for him, proving that his life magic weapon can upgrade quickly.
Next, Li Xiuchang tried to inject the soul essence into the second diamond pill, but failed.
Think about it, the second diamond pill is not a magic weapon, it is a crystal of mana, how can it be integrated into the spirit gold? Whose mana is it absorbing?
"So the second diamond pill is not a life magic weapon now. Strictly speaking, it is just the second golden pill of Qianjun Stone that has been integrated. There is no other change, and it does not occupy the quota of my second life magic weapon..."
Li Xiuchang's eyes lit up. Does this mean that he can actually create another life magic weapon?
However, there is no good idea for the time being, so this idea can only be put aside for the time being.
Li Xiuchang thought about it and decided to transfer his life magic weapon, Zanpakutō, to the second dantian first.
Anyway, the second diamond pill is idle anyway, so it is better to let the life magic weapon absorb the mana of the second diamond pill first. Anyway, he only has this one life magic weapon, so it doesn't matter which dantian it is placed in.
However, when the life magic weapon entered the second dantian, Li Xiuchang noticed that while the Zanpakutō crystal core absorbed the mana, it also began to slowly absorb the white mist in the second dantian.
After the second dantian became a space of its own, some white mist slowly grew. Li Xiuchang did not find anything special about the mist and never paid much attention to it.
But now the Zanpakutō can actually absorb this mist, which surprised Li Xiuchang. He took out the Zanpakutō and observed it for a moment, but did not find anything abnormal.
"Maybe it absorbs too little, and the effect is not visible yet?"
Li Xiuchang thought about it. After all, this is something produced in his dantian, and it should be harmless to him. So he put the Zanpakutō back to the second dantian and let it continue to absorb the white mist.
He planned to wait for a while before continuing to observe.
...
A few days later, the little turtle Wenwen came to Li Xiuchang and wanted to teach him the way of formation.
Li Xiuchang suggested: "Formation teaching requires a place. The room is too small to perform. Let's go outside and find an open space."
In fact, he wanted to find an excuse to leave Donggeng District, so that he and Wenwen could communicate freely, otherwise he was afraid of being noticed by Senior Brother Chen Changsheng like last time.
Wenwen knew what Li Xiuchang was up to, but he still cooperated and said, "You arrange it."
Li Xiuchang put Wenwen in his pocket and left Donggeng District on his flying boat.
Li Xiuchang actually didn't go anywhere. He just sat on the flying boat and flew aimlessly and at a low speed in Xianchen Sect.
He and Wenwen continued the previous topic in the flying boat.
"Brother Turtle, how much do you know about the other senior brothers in Donggeng District?"
The little turtle said gloomily, "That's it. I don't know much. Looking back on this tragic life of this turtle, I have been in solitary confinement most of the time. Damn Chen Turtle!"
"Then the husband of the cook couple you mentioned last time is the current senior brother Luyang?"
"It's him. He changes his face and name every time. This turtle almost didn't recognize him!"
Sure enough... Li Xiuchang once again confirmed his guess. It seems that the last senior sister who didn't appear in the six-member gang turned out to be the Taoist partner of Senior Brother Luyang.
The little turtle crossed his legs and said, "They are turtle lovers. The cook used to make all kinds of delicious food for me, and Auntie Dan would refine pills of various flavors for me."
Speaking of this, the little turtle smacked his lips.
"Auntie Dan?"
He nodded at the turtle's head steadily: "Yes, she changes her name every time, and I don't know what her name is. In addition, she is very good at refining pills, so I can only call her Auntie Dan.
"I have called her that since I was a child. Later, when I got older, I called her that again, and she was not happy. She said that I called her old. I really don't understand these women. "
Li Xiuchang found that the neighboring brothers all have their own strengths. Brother Zhang is good at refining weapons, Brother Chen is good at formations and talismans, Brother Mo is good at spiritual plants and soul control, and Brother Gui is good at divination.
The new brother Lu Yang is good at spiritual cooking, and it is possible that he will also add the skills of immortal brewing... Li Xiuchang has automatically changed his words and called Lu Yang brother.
As for the last sister who has never met, it seems that she is good at refining pills.
"What about the other brothers? Don't you know anything about them?" Li Xiuchang asked without giving up.
He stably cracked the tortoise claws and said, "The fortune teller talks a lot. He used to tell me everything, even the secrets of the fairy world. I'm just a tortoise. Why do I need to know these? This tortoise is too lazy to listen to his nonsense. Several times, this tortoise fell asleep as soon as he opened his mouth. Later, he didn't want to pay attention to this tortoise. "
"Later, this tortoise found out that every time I fell asleep, it was Chen the tortoise who was playing tricks. He was afraid that this tortoise would hear these secrets and shorten the fortune teller's life, so he used despicable means to hypnotize this tortoise! "
In Wenwen's impression, Gui Wuyan was still in the period before he practiced the silent meditation. At that time, Gui Wuyan was still a talkative young man.
Wenwen continued: "There is no need to talk about the ghost breeder. He only likes ghosts, not turtles."
"There is also a guy who smiles all day long. Chen Wugui doesn't let me play with him, saying that he will lead me astray."
The guy who smiles all day long, is he talking about Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi?
Li Xiuchang almost laughed out loud.
Your father didn't let you play with Senior Brother Zhang, and he didn't teach you very well.
It's better to let Senior Brother Zhang take care of you. You can't be more noisy than now.
Li Xiuchang asked a few more questions, but didn't get anything new.
Wenwen showed a hint of pride on his face: "I know what you want to ask. You want to find out the origins of those old guys and their purpose, right?"
Li Xiuchang didn't beat around the bush and admitted generously: "I'm just curious. If you are willing to tell me, please feel free to ask for anything."
"Hmph." Wenwen raised his lips, "I don't know either."
Then what do you say!
"But I'm also curious, so we can cooperate and investigate the truth together!"
"Okay." Li Xiuchang agreed immediately.
He now understood that the little turtle Wenwen was actually similar to him. He was not a veteran member of the six-member gang. In fact, he knew his neighbors a thousand years earlier than him.
Therefore, Wenwen didn't know many secrets.
But no matter what, the little turtle knew more than Li Xiuchang, and more turtles meant more ways, so cooperation would only bring benefits and no harm.
"Speaking of which, I don't actually know nothing at all." Seeing that Li Xiuchang agreed to cooperate, Wenwen changed the subject, "I know that they gathered here and it seems to have something to do with Xianyin. The fortune teller told me that at the time."
"Xianyin?"
This answer caught Li Xiuchang off guard.
It is true that Xianyin is very mysterious, but what is the relationship between Xianyin and Xianchen Sect?
If the purpose of the senior brothers is related to Xianyin, shouldn't they be lurking near Xianyin? Why are they hiding in Xianchen Sect?
Although I can't figure it out, this is also a direction for investigation.
Li Xiuchang suddenly asked: "Brother Turtle, do you think I am special?"
Wenwen tilted his head and looked at Li Xiuchang: "You humans are very special in the eyes of our turtle clan."
"What about me compared to others? Is there anything special?"
"No, they all look the same, just like it is difficult for you humans to distinguish the appearance of two turtles, and it is also difficult for us turtles to distinguish the difference between two humans."
Li Xiuchang felt like he was playing the piano to the turtle.
In fact, there was a question that had been lingering in his mind during this period.
He looked at the information of Donggeng District and could see that the newcomers who moved into Donggeng District for more than 2,000 years were driven out by the neighboring senior brothers in different ways.
But he was the only one who settled down in Donggeng District!
He lived there for more than four years.
During this period, he was also taken care of by the four senior brothers, who gave him spirit stones, skills and various free teachings.
Why?
What is so special about him that makes the four senior brothers treat him specially?
Is it the identity of a time traveler, or the length cheat?
These two points are the biggest secrets of Li Xiuchang, but Li Xiuchang guessed that it should not be discovered, after all, the length cheat is something that even Senior Brother Gui could not predict.
"You can't keep me as a pet." Li Xiuchang looked at Wenwen and muttered in his heart.
