Chapter 274 Whatever You Say It Is, It Is
"A kind of elixir that can transform you and improve your aptitude." Gongsun Ce's tone was somewhat tempting.
Li Muchen thought of the scene in the past when the three siblings had refined weapons together. After Li Zizai and Li Quzhuo came into contact with the method of refining weapons, they were like fish in water.
Li Muchen is like a genius with a natural talent for swimming. It cannot be said that she has no talent, but it can only be said that learning cannot surpass instinct.
This is the difference in starting points, innate talent outweighs most efforts.
“I don’t keep idle people here. Even if you and I sign a contract, if you can’t meet my requirements, I can still breach the contract.” Gongsun Ce spread his hands in a rogue manner.
"I understand." Li Muchen nodded heavily, "I will find a way to find these herbs. As for the method of refining weapons, I will teach you little by little later."
"make a deal."
"make a deal."
Li Muchen walked out of the cave and walked back to the Li family silently.
Gongsun Ce was naturally serious about what he said. If Li Muchen couldn't get the medicinal herbs, it would prove that she was incompetent.
As for someone who has no ability, even if Gongsun Ce is optimistic about Li Muchen, he will not devote too many resources to her.
After all, Gongsun Ce came to this world just to study martial arts and rune technology.
Training Li Muchen can only be considered an optional part.
After Li Muchen left, Gongsun Ce closed his eyes and began to comprehend the martial arts.
Without the help of the Fusang sacred tree, the progress of enlightenment would undoubtedly be slower.
But this world is really special, and this emotional power seems to be rooted in the origin of the world.
Gongsun Ce was somewhat hesitant about Qin Shi Tian Dao swallowing up this world.
I am not afraid that the law of nature is ruthless, I am just afraid that the law of nature is love-brained.
On this point, the Jiangye world has the most say. The madness of the Heavenly Dao's agent has led to the degradation of the world.
If there is no Gongsun Ce, the ending of Ever Night's world will be that the world changes, the vitality of heaven and earth is lost, and the practitioners leave the planet to explore the universe.
Then, day after day, the night world will be transformed into a purely technological world without any supernatural power.
The development of the fox demon world is a bit strange. Before humans and demons made peace, the background was completely ancient.
Five hundred years after humans and demons lived in peace, the story flashed directly into the modern era.
The key point is that Yan Ruyu was released from prison more than a hundred years before the beginning of the plot, and the background was still in ancient times.
In other words, the technology in the Fox Demon world most likely developed from ancient times to modern times over the hundred years before the plot begins.
The development of science and technology is a bit too fast. Gongsun Ce pondered for a moment and decided to watch and see what happened in the past five hundred years.
A part of Gongsun Ce's spiritual power fell on Li Muchen, while the rest of the spiritual power spread out, covering the entire circle with the cave as the center.
Dense red lines crisscross in the circle, representing the relationship that the bitter love tree promotes with attention.
These red lines have another name - Red Line Flame. They look like lines, but they are actually fire.
Gongsun Ce followed the red thread to Tushan, and then he saw the bitter love tree.
Gongsun Ce looked at the Bitter Love Tree, the source of all evil, and felt that it was pitiful. The Bitter Love Tree on the ground absorbed positive emotional energy, but under the roots of the tree contained endless negative emotional energy.
Everything in the world has both positive and negative aspects. These positive emotional forces can promote the growth of the bitter love tree, while the negative emotional forces erode the bitter love tree.
The so-called creatures outside the circle utilize negative emotional energy, which is the negative emotional energy that is suddenly transformed after the positive emotional energy reaches its peak.
For example, Jin Chenxi, the source of this thing’s power is despair, and it is the despair that comes after hope reaches the peak.
So Jin Chenxi can realize his wish, but the fulfillment of the wish is not what people want.
The creatures resurrected by Jin Chenxi are either possessed by Jin Chenxi or are camouflaged by Jin Chenxi.
When I see an old friend again, I feel hopeful, but the moment I realize that the old friend is just a decoy, hope suddenly turns into despair.
In a sense, Jin Chenxi is even worse than the Impure World Reincarnation. The Impure World Reincarnation brings real souls, while Jin Chenxi is just a decoy.
"Who is it?" Feng Qi, who was standing under the Bitter Love Tree, raised her head and looked around. With the help of the powerful negative emotional power of the Bitter Love Tree, she could feel that someone was spying on her.
However, with Feng Qi's ability, he was unable to detect who the person who was spying was or in which direction.
Gongsun Ce raised his right hand, and the power of heaven and earth filled with emotional energy in Tushan suddenly turned into pure air.
Feng Qi is also a fox demon from Tushan. Different from the three sisters of Tushan, she is a pure fox demon. Unlike the three sisters of Tushan, she is actually the creation of the bitter love tree.
It was because Feng Qi was plotting to seize the power of the Bitter Love Tree that he was suppressed under the Bitter Love Tree after being discovered by Tu Shan Hong Hong.
However, Tushan Honghong did not realize that the real power Fengqi was plotting was negative emotional power.
The positive emotional energy had long been absorbed by the Bitter Love Tree, but the negative emotional energy was frighteningly abundant.
Tushan's reincarnation and continuation business is not 100% successful, so failed reincarnation and continuation business will produce negative emotional energy.
For example, Fan Yunfei, who had failed several times, had all the negative emotional energy generated by him accepted completely by the Bitter Love Tree.
These negative emotional forces are easier for Feng Qi to absorb than positive emotional forces.
Because Feng Qi is still a fox demon and has a weak connection with the Bitter Love Tree, she absorbs negative emotional energy much faster than positive emotional energy.
At this moment, Feng Qi was surrounded by a powerful negative emotional force.
Her body was unable to move freely under the influence of negative emotional force, and the roots of the bitter love tree turned into ropes to bind Feng Qi.
Her face was painful and distorted. On the surface, her eyes flashed with unwillingness and struggle, but in fact, there was a strong ambition hidden deep in her eyes.
If Feng Qi completely absorbed the negative emotional power of the Bitter Love Tree, she would naturally be able to surpass the limits of the Demon King and reach a higher level.
Gongsun Ce's spiritual power could feel the power and evil of Feng Qi's negative emotional force.
Naturally, he would not let Feng Qi get his wish, so he controlled the pure energy and continued to condense it.
The changes in the power of heaven and earth in Tushan naturally could not be hidden from Tushan Honghong, the master of Tushan.
Tushan Honghong, who was praying under the bitter love tree, felt the change in the power of heaven and earth. Her face changed and then she retreated under the bitter love tree.
"Miss, long time no see." Feng Qi grinned when he saw Tushan Honghong entering the bitter love tree.
Feng Qi could feel the threat of the pure air to her. Just when she was getting anxious, Tushan Honghong rushed in, giving Feng Qi a glimmer of hope.
As long as he uses Tushan Honghong as a shield, Fengqi can naturally escape the disaster.
Gongsun Ce sensed Tushan Honghong who suddenly broke in under the bitter love tree, and he did not stop moving.
He just gave a light push, and the ball of pure air flew towards Fengqi from top to bottom like an arrow.
The pure air passed through the surface of the ground and entered under the bitter love tree. The moment the pure air touched the negative emotional force, a "hissing" sound suddenly sounded in the space under the bitter love tree.
That is the sound of negative emotions being purified by pure energy, like the harsh sound of fire burning thorns.
Feng Qi felt the presence of this pure energy, and she instinctively mobilized the negative emotions around her, trying to suppress it.
"Feng Qi! You hid it so deeply!" Tushan Honghong was surprised to find that Feng Qi could actually control negative emotions.
“Hahahaha.” Feng Qi whispered very harshly, “Miss, you shouldn’t have come. This aura restrains me and you too!”
Feng Qi's power has been assimilated by negative emotions, becoming violent and difficult to control.
She could only watch helplessly as the ball of pure energy struggled to move forward under the siege of negative emotional forces.
However, when she saw that the pure energy was also invading Tushan Honghong, Feng Qi's smile became more intense.
Negative emotions continue to shrink under the purification of pure energy.
The red demonic power in Tushan Honghong's body was also being purified by the pure air.
"Ah!" Tushan Honghong roared, and displayed the insulating claws containing negative emotional power.
At the moment when Tushan Honghong's hands were covered by negative emotional force, Tushan Honghong felt that her hands were being transformed by pure energy.
The negative emotions of the Insulating Claw gradually disappeared, replaced by a pure aura.
Because the negative emotional energy in the Insulating Claws was expelled, Gongsun Ce looked at Tushan Honghong with interest.
"The Insulating Claw?" Gongsun Ce murmured.
Afterwards, Gongsun Ce controlled the pure energy and stopped dispelling Tushan Honghong's demonic power. Instead, he assisted Tushan Honghong in tempering her demonic power and insulating claws.
"Impossible! Why?" Feng Qi looked at everything that happened to Tushan Honghong in astonishment. She couldn't understand why the strong man who acted secretly would help Tushan Honghong.
The power of heaven and earth kept flashing in Gongsun Ce's eyes, and the mystery of the Insulating Claws was gradually revealed in his eyes.
"Interesting, very interesting." Gongsun Ce's eyes were full of excitement. "When two things come into contact, it is fate. This is what is called insulation. It isolates everything..."
The meeting between people is fate, the contact between things is also fate, and the contact between heaven and earth is caused by fate.
Therefore, the meaning of insulation is to prevent the two from contacting each other, which is a disguised form of immunity.
The concept of the Insulating Claw is very lofty, and it is Tushan Honghong's innate magical power. If it were not for the shackles of the fox demon world, the Insulating Claw would be an extraordinary magical power.
However, as Gongsun Ce analyzed the Insulating Claws, Tushan Honghong's Insulating Claws gradually disappeared. Gongsun Ce thought about it and injected pure air into Tushan Honghong's hands, recreating the Insulating Claws in disguise.
Although Tushan Honghong's Insulating Claws have lost the possibility of reaching a higher level, from today on, her Insulating Claws will be unrivaled in the fox demon world.
Pure Yangyan and Wangquan Sword Intent were also unable to break through the defense of Tushan Honghong's Insulating Claws.
However, Feng Qi, who was beside Tushan Honghong, did not have such good luck. After a long resistance, the pure energy broke through the blockade of negative emotions and fell on Feng Qi.
The moment Feng Qi's body came into contact with the pure air, he let out a painful groan.
She felt as if her body was burned by flames, and the pain was almost unbearable.
However, she was more aware that it was the pure energy that was purifying the negative emotions in her body.
She gritted her teeth, endured the pain, and tried to mobilize her negative emotions to resist the pure energy. However, the negative emotions in her body were simply unable to compete with the pure energy.
She could only watch helplessly as her essence gradually dissipated under the erosion of the pure energy.
Feng Qi gritted his teeth and controlled the negative emotions in his body to explode suddenly.
"boom!"
A loud explosion was heard, which only Tushan Honghong and Gongsun Ce could hear.
Then Feng Qi's origin exploded, and the negative emotional energy spread along the red thread net woven by the Bitter Love Tree.
Countless people and monsters who were reincarnated by the Bitter Love Tree suddenly had a black aura in their bodies.
"Tsk." Gongsun Ce made a "tsk" sound. Feng Qi was straightforward and directly detonated his own origin, breaking the whole into pieces.
From then on, a trace of Fengqi's origin will be lurking in the bodies of people and monsters who reincarnate to continue their relationship. Although Fengqi is cracked, it can be infinitely divided and reassembled.
Obviously, Feng Qi was more troublesome at this time. Gongsun Ce raised his hand and injected pure air into the Bitter Love Tree.
When Gongsun Ce was preparing to use the red thread of the bitter love tree as a trigger to kill Feng Qi once and for all, he discovered that the red thread was also unable to prevent the purification of the pure energy.
Gongsun Ce shook his head and gave up the idea of killing Feng Qi.
How can you kill it when it's broken into pieces? How can you crush it one grain at a time?
It is better to wait until she gathers together before killing her. Feng Qi will not give up her plan for the Bitter Love Tree, so the three Tushan sisters are the key.
Gongsun Ce allocated a part of his spiritual power to focus on Tushan Honghong, and continued to pay attention to the Bitter Love Tree. Gongsun Ce had a feeling that the opportunity for him to break through to the third level of the unity of man and nature and the absence of rules lies in the Bitter Love Tree.
The head of the Li family felt the breath of the power of heaven and earth coming from the back mountain, and his whole body felt numb.
Although it is rumored that the Demon King can only use the power of heaven and earth in his territory, this mighty force is obviously not a power that can be possessed by magic weapons.
This aura is like the wrath of heaven and earth, it is impossible to resist, it must be the power of heaven and earth.
Since it is the power of heaven and earth, it means that the Demon King has arrived and the Li family is about to face a life-and-death crisis.
He took a deep breath and called out in a deep voice: "Elder Qingyun, quickly go to the back mountain to investigate the changes, and at the same time find Zizai, Quzhuo and Mu Chen."
Before he finished speaking, a figure appeared out of nowhere in the study.
This person was none other than Li Qingyun, the elder of the Li family. He was wearing a green robe, his hair and beard were all white, but his eyes were bright and sharp.
He nodded slightly and said, "As you command, Patriarch."
After saying that, he stepped on the flying sword and turned into a stream of light, rushing straight into the sky and galloping towards the back mountain.
Li Qingyun flew on his sword and arrived at the back mountain in less than a moment.
He looked around and saw that the grass and trees on the back mountain were destroyed, and the clouds above his head seemed to be split apart by a great force.
He was shocked and thought to himself, "What kind of power caused this destruction? Could it be the power of heaven and earth?"
He had no time to think, and began to look for the locations of Li Zizai, Li Quzhuo and Li Muchen using the Li family's identity jade pendant.
He sensed everything as he went forward, and soon he felt a powerful force of heaven and earth lingering in the back mountain.
This force is so powerful and violent that it seems to be able to tear apart space and destroy everything.
Li Qingyun's face changed drastically and he was extremely shocked. This power was undoubtedly the power of heaven and earth, which confirmed his guess.
He knew very well that the only one who could use the power of heaven and earth was the legendary Demon King. Could it be that there was a Demon King attacking from the back mountain?
He could only compete with the Demon King. If the Demon Emperor was nearby, he would definitely not be able to withstand a single move, and he would not even have time to send out a message.
Li Qingyun did not dare to delay and immediately used the jade pendant to search around for the traces of Li Zizai, Li Quzhuo and Li Muchen.
He searched along the mountain path and soon found Li Zizai and Li Quzhuo based on the locations of their jade pendants.
In his impression, the three siblings should go up the mountain together, and logically the three of them should be together.
Li Zizai and Li Quzhuo were hiding in a cave, their faces pale, obviously frightened by the shock just now.
If Gongsun Ce had not intentionally protected Li Muchen, she would have been terrified when she directly saw the power of heaven and earth.
Just like Li Zizai and Li Quzhuo now, that was the great terror of the mighty power of heaven descending before mankind.
"Elder, you are here!" Li Zizai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Qingyun and hurried to greet him.
"Are you okay?" Li Qingyun asked with concern.
"We're fine, we were just scared." Li Quzhuo shook his head and replied.
"That's good." Li Qingyun nodded and asked, "Where's Mu Chen? Have you seen her?"
"Mu Chen...she should still be deep in the back mountain." Li Zizai hesitated for a moment and replied.
Li Zizai knew very well that if their father knew that he and his second brother Li Quzhuo had abandoned Li Muchen, they would definitely be punished.
However, if they failed to rescue Li Muchen in time and caused Li Muchen to be injured, they would probably feel guilty for the rest of their lives.
"What? Why is she still there?" Li Qingyun was shocked and hurriedly urged, "Take me to find her!"
He was a little bit unbelievable, because according to the jade pendant's instructions, there should be no other members of the Li family in the back mountain.
The three did not dare to delay. Li Qingyun rode the flying sword and took Li Zizai and Li Quzhuo along the mountain road to the depths of the back mountain.
During this period, Li Qingyun kept looking at the jade pendant in his hand, but he could not sense Li Muchen's jade pendant, which made him make some bad guesses.
The jade pendant is connected to a person's life force, and the jade pendants attract each other. It seems that Li Muchen is probably dead.
The only possible scenario for Li Muchen to survive is if he accidentally enters a strange place that can interfere with the jade pendant, or if the jade pendant is considered damaged.
But the back mountain belongs to the Li family. If there really is a place that can interfere with the jade pendant, the Li family must not be unaware of it.
And since the jade pendant was damaged artificially, there is a high probability that Li Muchen will have no chance of survival.
At this moment, the jade pendants of Li Qingyun, Li Zizai and Li Quzhuo pointed to the same direction at the same time.
Li Qingyun immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The three siblings could be said to be the hope for the future of the Li family. Their lives were more important than his. It would be great if Li Muchen was okay.
With the help of the jade pendant, they finally found Li Muchen on the edge of a cliff.
She was standing there, looking into the distance, as if attracted by the scene before her.
After Li Muchen left the cave, she was filled with thoughts. She really couldn't find the corresponding medicinal materials to refine Tongtian Pills in the Li family without concealing the existence of Gongsun Ce.
Therefore, explaining the existence of Gongsun Ce is the best way, the key lies in how to explain it.
How to prove that she met a master without Gongsun Ce appearing? How to prove that it was the master who needed these herbs?
These are all problems, so the solution Li Muchen thought of is very simple.
If her jade pendant suddenly lost its signal, the elders would naturally come to investigate, and after returning to the Li family, it would be time to explain the situation.
"Mu Chen!" Li Qingyun called out loudly.
Li Muchen came back to his senses and saw Li Qingyun and others, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
She hurried over and asked, "Elder, why are you here too?"
"We are here to find you." Li Qingyun briefly explained the situation, and then said, "It's very dangerous here, let's leave quickly."
Li Muchen finally understood that Li Qingyun came because of Gongsun Ce's casual attack, not because her jade pendant was lost.
But it doesn’t matter, as long as people are here, the show can go on.
"It's safe here." Li Muchen shook his head. "My master just casually attacked me."
Li Qingyun's face looked a little strange when he heard this. He knew very well that the terrifying thing about the Demon King was that he utilized the power of heaven and earth, but there was no one in the human race who could mobilize the power of heaven and earth.
But although Li Muchen is young, he is able to refine weapons and has a strong mind, so it is impossible for him to lie.
Li Qingyun lost his composure for a moment, but the specific rules cannot be messed up.
Li Qingyun waved his sleeves, picked up Li Muchen, and brought the three siblings back to the Li family.
"Are you all back?" The head of the Li family looked at the three siblings in front of him who were not injured at all. His expression was a little serious, but his tone was much gentler.
"Reporting to the head of the family, the third young lady just claimed that she met a master who can use the power of heaven and earth, and that the master is willing to accept a disciple..." Li Qingyun narrated Li Muchen's experience in a concise manner.
"Really?" The Li family patriarch's gaze suddenly turned to Li Muchen. When their eyes met, the Li family patriarch did not see that Li Muchen was at all flustered, which meant that Li Muchen was not lying.
The head of the Li family knew Li Muchen's character well. If Li Muchen lied, he would not dare to look him in the eye. This was a blood suppression and also a manifestation of Li Muchen's guilty conscience.
"These are the herbs my master asked me to collect. He said they can be used to refine pills for me to improve my aptitude." Li Muchen answered truthfully and handed the list of herbs to the patriarch of the Li family.
The patriarch of the Li family took the list of medicinal materials. His hand held the list steadily, but his breathing became a little disordered.
The head of the Li family carefully looked through the list of medicinal herbs and found that these herbs were not scarce, but some of them were difficult to pick.
Gongsun Ce directed his spiritual power towards the Li family and saw the change in the expression of the head of the Li family and found it interesting.
Li Muchen is good at using the opponent's force to his advantage at this age, but from the other side, he does seem a bit deep-minded.
In other worlds, it wouldn't be a problem for Li Muchen to be called precocious.
However, in the fox demon world, which is full of emotional power, people with deep minds are easily affected by negative emotional power, and thus have extreme personalities.
However, people with a somewhat unbalanced personality are more likely to be favored by positive emotions and thus become extremely talented.
Gongsun Ce raised his left palm. He had already mastered the method of practicing the Insulating Claw, so when Gongsun Ce turned his palm, his hand was wrapped in an invisible layer of negative emotional force.
Positive emotional energy represents continuation of the relationship, while negative emotional energy represents isolation.
This is the Insulating Claw, one of the unique skills in the fox demon world. It is a good ability, but just good.
After leaving the fox demon world, the power of the Insulating Claw can no longer be guaranteed.
Gongsun Ce closed his eyes and began to transform the Insulating Claws. With the assistance of the Word Spirit·Tianyan and the Word Spirit·Time Zero, Gongsun Ce made rapid deductions.
