Jiang Li was filled with guilt.
I have to think of a way to solve the problem of the sword cultivator's clone some other day.
Firstly, he didn't want to break up such a pair of Taoist lovers. Secondly, it would be very uncomfortable for him to be unable to get in when there is such a big treasure as Asura's corpse.
However, the evil spirits in the ruins had been dead for too long, and not many of their memories were retained.
Jiuyou's clone did not find much useful information from them.
Now we only know that the metal bracelet from the Black Lotus ruins can suppress the blood of madness, but there is only one bracelet and the effect is obviously not enough.
Jiang Li planned to look up the Black Lotus Sect's classics after returning to the sect. After all, there were traces of such a large Fang Tian Seal there, and the Sutra Valley was also the main force that destroyed the Black Lotus Sect back then, so there should still be relevant records.
If he couldn't get any useful information from the sect, Jiang Li would have to consider whether he should melt down the Soul-Destroying Black Sword and make a bracelet on his own.
After discussing some things with Yan Hong, Jiang Li left him an annual card of Qingshanju, and left the Burial Yin Coffin to Jiuyou's clone, then boarded the flying boat and headed towards the sect.
Yan Hong's cultivation was still too weak, and even his business fortunes were severely affected.
As Jiang Li's strength grows, he will inevitably fall behind. Even being a qualified logistics businessman will become difficult.
Therefore, it would be best to improve his cultivation as much as possible.
With the help of a large number of elixirs and the rich spiritual energy of Qingshanju, his cultivation speed should be greatly accelerated, and it is not impossible to be comparable to or even exceed the best spiritual roots.
If one wants to quickly improve his cultivation, the Nine Nether Earth Fruit should be the best choice.
But Jiang Li didn't want to take his friend's life and death into his own hands, or even change Yan Hong's personality.
. . . .
Time flies and it is already the next day.
Near Qingshanju, several teams of guards from the City Lord's Mansion directly blocked off the area without giving any face at all.
This made Qingshanju’s turnover for that day almost zero.
Jiang Li was on the flying boat, meditating in the room, and most of his mind was focused on Qingshan Jushi's body.
He was still dressed in the mask and green shirt. After leaving Qingshanju, he walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.
There were many cultivators paying attention to him along the way. The incident at Qingshanju had caused quite a stir this time, and people from the City Lord's Mansion had come to cause trouble many times. He couldn't hide the matter even if he wanted to.
This was a big blow to the newly established Qingshanju, but Jiang Li didn't care much about it.
With the speed of a Jindan level, Jiang Li arrived at the destination quickly.
The City Lord's Mansion is no longer of the level of a wealthy mansion. It is almost like a small city built in the city that never sleeps.
The city walls are equipped with powerful air-breaking crossbows, and their defense specifications are no worse than those of the inner city walls.
But Jiang Li noticed that there was a brand new notice posted at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion.
It said on it that the city lord's daughter was suffering from a strange disease, and a doctor was sought to treat her. If anyone could cure the young lady, he would be rewarded handsomely.
Jiang Li took a look at the reward and found it was really generous. A Xuan-level magic weapon, plus a number of spirit stones and elixirs, were enough to attract a cultivator in the Jindan stage.
It seems that the city lord attaches great importance to Lu Qingdai and is willing to spend so much money to treat his useless daughter.
The spirit stones she was given on a regular basis might be enough for her to act as she pleases in Qingshanju.
Would Lu Zhengyang, who was like this, choose to sacrifice his daughter to attack Qingshanju? It didn't seem necessary.
Moreover, if this was true, he could have chosen to take action as soon as Lu Qingdai was in trouble, and there would have been no need to wait for Jiuyou's clone to return.
Jiang Li was a little confused, but didn't think much about it. He walked around the group of monks surrounding the notice and walked into the mansion.
"Stop! Take off your weapons and magic tools, and wait for the message."
But just as Jiang Li reached the door, he was stopped sternly by several black-armored guards.
Jiang Li clearly saw that the monks who entered before him did not have to do this, but when it came to him, he was targeted.
He took off his magic weapon and waited for the order, which was clearly a show of force.
No cultivator is willing to hand over the magic weapon that determines his livelihood to others. These guys are deliberately causing trouble.
Jiang Li ignored him and walked in directly.
Behind him, there was a scent of red spider lily.
All the guards were stunned. With their cultivation level, they couldn't recover for three days and three nights.
After passing through the gate, Jiang Li did not encounter any more obstructions, nor were there any guards or servants to lead the way for him.
But Jiang Li was not worried about taking the wrong road. He went straight ahead, and in a hall in the straight direction, a strong aura appeared in his perception without any concealment.
Jiang Li had felt this kind of aura when he was in the Demon Suppression Tower. In this City Lord's Mansion, there was only one person who could release the aura of the Nascent Soul Stage.
That was undoubtedly City Lord Lu himself.
Jiang Li controlled his clone, followed the source of the momentum, stepped on a phantom, and floated in front of the hall.
The butler Lu Fu, whom he had met before, was standing at the door of the hall, looking at him with resentment.
The arm that was cut off by Jiang Li has been reattached by the medical practitioner, but the flesh and blood in the wound has been eroded by the Nine Ghost Qi. The tissue at the broken end has been completely necrotic, so only a section of it can be removed.
So now, his right hand is obviously shorter than his left hand, which looks a bit strange.
However, the Nine Nether Qi still remained in his body, and would attack him every night at ten o'clock. It was not so easy to eliminate it completely.
After being hurt so badly by Jiang Li, how could he put on a good face when he saw his enemy again?
Jiang Li ignored him and walked straight into the hall. Inside, he saw the city lord Lu Zhengyang sitting in the first seat in the middle.
City Lord Lu was broad-skinned and solidly built, with a head full of white hair tied behind his head. His face showed few signs of aging, and he was a strong, dark-skinned middle-aged man.
Next to him sat a woman in a red dress with a sad face.
"You must be Qingshan Jushi, right? It is an honor for our Never-Sleeping City that a Jindan cultivator can settle here."
"I didn't have the chance to meet you until today. I am sorry for being impolite."
Lu Zhengyang moved the tea in front of him twice, speaking the usual words of a city lord, but it was clear that he did not feel honored at all.
"You are too polite, City Lord Lu. I am just a lay Buddhist from Qingshan who is using your precious land to do some insignificant business. I hope you can take care of me."
Jiang Li cupped his hands as a salute, his eyes fixed on the other party, every fiber in his body was tense, and he was ready to fight at any time.
"Your Excellency is too modest. That is not a small business."
"Qingshanju is quite famous. It is a big store that bullies its customers. My daughter Lu Qingdai and housekeeper Lu Fu almost lost their lives there."
Before they had even spoken a few words, the irreconcilable contradiction could no longer be concealed.
At this time, Lu Zhengyang looked up and stared at Jiuyou's clone. The sudden surge of momentum pressed down on him, causing large areas of cracks to appear on the floor tiles in the hall.
Jiang Li's feet were the hardest hit, with both of his ankles already dug into the ground.
For high-level monks, aura is more than just scary. For weaker monks, a single look could kill someone.
However, the one standing here now is Jiuyou's clone who has the Golden Core cultivation. He is not in such a state that he would look embarrassed.
"The city lord should also know about Miss Lu's matter. It is not Qingshanju's fault."
"As for Lu Fu, he committed a crime in my Qingshan Residence, and I just taught him a lesson."
Under the aura of the Nascent Soul, Jiang Li stated the facts neither humbly nor arrogantly, and did not choose to admit his mistake.
But the city lord Lu Zhengyang obviously could not accept such a light explanation.
Jiang Li's behavior was indeed just to teach the student a lesson. At most, his attack was a little too heavy, which was not considered to be too extreme.
But for Lu Zhengyang, his behavior was undoubtedly a slap in the face to the City Lord's Mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion lost face. It was not about right or wrong. He had to get back what he deserved. Otherwise, who else could he control in this city that never sleeps? And then there was Lu Qingdai's matter. In the final analysis, it was his daughter who had brought this upon herself.
But as a father, when his daughter's life is hanging by a thread, there is no point in talking about reason.
"So, you came here today not to give me an explanation?"
Faced with Jiang Li's attitude, he became even more displeased.
"What does City Lord Lu want to explain?"
Jiang Li still had no intention of giving in, and opened his mouth to test the other party's intentions. If Lu Zhengyang directly asked for the source of Qingshanju's spiritual stones, then this incident must have been intentionally controlled by him.
"I, Lu Zhengyang, am not an unreasonable person. You cut off one of your arms, close Qingshanju, and leave the Never-Sleeping City. You are never allowed to set foot in the city again, and this matter is over."
"Zhengyang!"
City Lord Lu proposed such a solution, which is not light, but not too heavy either.
Because if it was "self-severed", with the means of a Jindan cultivator, as long as they were well prepared, they could completely take it off and then put it back immediately, so in essence it wouldn't cause much damage.
The woman sitting next to him and the butler Lu Fu were obviously not satisfied with this solution and wanted to persuade him.
But Jiang Li didn't come here to hurt himself.
"I'm so sorry, I cannot accept the proposal made by City Lord Lu."
Jiang Li refused directly, which made the butler Lu Fu standing next to him jump up and down in anger.
"Lord City Lord, this audacious lunatic actually dared to waste your mercy! This man is hiding his head and showing his tail. It is obvious that he has bad intentions. I think we should arrest him directly, interrogate him thoroughly, and then deal with him!"

This old yin-yang man never said anything nice, and he wanted to provoke Lu Zhengyang to attack Jiang Li directly.
"Mr. Qingshan, what do you want?"
Lu Zhengyang waved his hand to stop Lu Fu.
But he also spoke, and it was obvious that if he didn't give a satisfactory answer today, the matter would not be resolved.
"Since I am here, I am here to solve this matter."
"I can cure Miss Lu's illness."
As soon as Jiang Li said this, the hall suddenly became quiet for a few seconds.
They obviously didn't expect that Mr. Qingshan would do this.
Then the woman in red next to Lu Zhengyang spoke.
"She is a mortal, and has no spiritual roots. She cannot take spiritual pills, and cannot withstand the withdrawal of spiritual energy. Hundreds of medical practitioners have been helpless in the past few days. What can you do?"
This person was obviously Lu Zhengyang's Taoist partner. When she heard Jiang Li's words, her first reaction was disbelief.
Just as she said, hundreds of medical practitioners are unable to do the job, so how could Mr. Qingshan have the ability to do so?
"Madam Lu, don't worry. There are thousands of ways in this world. If others can't do it, I may be able to do it. Whether it will succeed or not, we will know after trying."
The voice coming from under the mask of Jiuyou's clone was calm and confident. It didn't sound like he was lying.
"Can you really cure Qingdai?"
The city lord Lu Zhengyang also became serious, putting aside the fact that he had just cut off his arm, and was weighing the credibility of what Qingshan Hermit said.
"Ninety percent sure."
Jiang Li still nodded and gave a sure answer.
"Nonsense! You haven't even met Miss Qingdai, yet you dare to say you are 90% sure!"
"City Lord! Don't trust him. He will harm Miss Qingdai!"
The housekeeper Lu Fu was still trying to trip up Jiang Li like crazy. But considering Lu Qingdai's current condition, it was hard to say whether she could make it through the night. How bad could the situation be?
Since Mr. Qingshan is so confident, it might not be a bad idea to let him give it a try.
"Okay! If you can save my daughter, all previous matters will be forgiven, and I will not be stingy with the reward I promised on the notice."
"But if you are deceiving us, you should know the anger of a Nascent Soul cultivator."
Lu Zhengyang pondered for a long time and finally decided to let Jiang Li give it a try.
"I understand that, but I have one more request."
Jiang Li was not in a hurry to prove his ability, as that would only make him appear guilty and inferior.
Now the ones who need help are the city lord and his wife, so there is no need for him to flatter them and offer himself for nothing.
If you have any requests, you should raise them. Once the patient is cured, it won’t be so easy to talk anymore.
"you say."
"Because the method of treatment is a secret technique passed down from generation to generation in our sect, no outsiders can be present when I am treating the patient."
"Also, if I cure Miss Lu Qingdai, she must take me as her master."
The first condition, many medical practitioners have the same rules, they are already used to it. They agreed without much hesitation.
But, accepting a useless person as a disciple? What kind of request is that? After all, Lu Zhengyang has been the city lord for hundreds of years, so he naturally has some brains.
After a slight turn, he understood that Mr. Qingshan's intention was not simply to accept a disciple, but to gain the support of the Lord of the City That Never Sleeps under the name of accepting a disciple.
"Okay, no problem. Without further ado, please follow me, sir."
Without much hesitation, Lu Zhengyang agreed.
As long as Lu Qingdai can be saved, these are minor matters. It is a great blessing for her, a useless person, to be able to worship a Jindan cultivator as her master.
Besides, it was the City Lord's Mansion that cheated Qingshanju in this matter, so there's nothing wrong in giving some support.
They hurried to the side hall at the back, where quite a few medical practitioners were gathered together having a heated discussion.
From time to time, medical practitioners would go in and try, but would come out quickly.
Their methods are mostly aimed at monks.
The fragile bodies of mortals simply cannot withstand the torture, and this alone limits 99% of their means. And too weak means cannot deal with the trouble in Lu Qingdai's body at this time.
It is precisely because of this that no one has been able to provide treatment.
The arrival of Jiang Li and others attracted the attention of the medical practitioners.
Many people saluted the city lord and looked at Qingshan Jushi with sympathy.
Well, the news has basically spread, and Qingshanju is just unlucky.
At this time, another medical practitioner came out of Lu Qingdai's room, shook his head and walked out.
While City Lord Lu was disappointed, he stepped forward and opened the door himself, inviting Jiang Li in.
"Layman, please."
City Lord Lu's performance caused an uproar among the medical practitioners nearby.
Didn't Qingshan Jushi come to the City Lord's Mansion to apologize? Why was he brought here? They were planning to let him in for treatment? This was ridiculous. I had never heard that Qingshan Jushi was a medical practitioner.
The medical practitioners present were obviously a little surprised and a little indignant.
Why did City Lord Lu ignore this group of medical practitioners and instead send in an amateur to treat the disease in desperation?
But they don't have the confidence to speak, because they themselves are powerless.
Jiang Li entered the room, which was filled with the strong scent of spiritual medicine.
He looked towards the source, which was beside the girl's bed, where a burning incense burner was emitting white smoke.
Seeing this, Jiang Li couldn't help but sigh that professionals are really different.
The group of medical practitioners outside are not incompetent. On the contrary, each of them has been through hundreds of battles and treated countless patients.
For example, this incense burner is made from ground medicinal herbs.
The complete elixir is too strong for ordinary people. If one is not careful, it will shatter the internal organs and kill the person.
Therefore, a medical practitioner ingeniously ground the elixir into powder, mixed it carefully, and used it as medicine by fumigating it. It was this method that saved Lu Qingdai's life and allowed her to survive for three days.
When it comes to curing illnesses and saving lives, Jiang Li is definitely far inferior to them.
But he had something in his hand that could cure the disease.
Jiuyou's clone lifted a corner of his mask and spit out a tiny seed from his mouth.
The seed of spiritual root!
