Chapter 212 The Golden Elixir is Useful
The story begins when Li Qi discovered that he had bitten off a part of the world.
After discovering his own talent and the truth that he was being targeted by the world, Li Qi used his remaining thinking time to start thinking of ways to avoid being targeted by the world.
In order to stop the world from targeting him, the first thing Li Qi thought of was to return the talent.
As long as I can give back this part of the world, perhaps I can divert the world's attention away from myself.
But unfortunately... Li Qi 'digested' it too quickly. When he realized something was wrong and wanted to return the talent, it was too late. The talent had already become one with him.
Then Li Qi thought of a second solution.
He separated a part of his own soul and used it in a similar way to how he created Adam III to create an 'avatar' with his own aura and image, allowing this avatar to bear the possible evil in the world in the future.
The idea was good, but who could have imagined that an accident would occur halfway through. The soul of Jinghua, which Li Qi brought from his previous life, was also separated from Li Qi's soul during the separation process and merged with Li Qi's split soul.
So... Li Qi's twin sister Li Qiao was born.
Because of the loss of memory during the reincarnation process, Li Qiao has no memory of Jinghua at all and is a completely new person.
But because of part of Li Qi's soul, there is a strange connection between the two, that is, as long as they are close, they can sense each other.
What even Li Qiao herself didn't know was that sometimes, Li Qi could completely control Li Qiao through this connection, and Li Qiao would not have any memory of this period.
…To be honest, for Li Qi, although Li Qiao can be considered as his clone, she is also a person with her own thoughts and consciousness. Li Qi doesn't like to control her.
But this is the key to allowing Li Qi to successfully survive the catastrophe at the age of 20. He has to let Li Qiao bear the malice of the world. For this reason, he has to control Li Qiao from time to time and let Li Qiao be contaminated with his breath.
Because of this, Li Qi treated Li Qiao surprisingly well and treated her as a real sister.
This can be considered as some kind of compensation for Li Qiao.
With another sigh, Li Qi turned around and walked back towards the Six Gates.
…
The wild boar demon has been taken into custody, awaiting Li Qi's "research".
The golden elixir that He Ru gave to Li Qi was also fed to a prisoner in the martial arts world who possessed ninth-grade martial arts strength. So far, there has been no special reaction.
In the lobby of the Six Gates, Li Qi and others gathered together to discuss the matter of Feng the Butcher.
"Did Butcher Feng show any unusual behavior in the past two days?"
Li Qi asked the constable who was in charge of the surveillance.
Among the two constables who were in charge of the surveillance, one of them had been eaten by the pig demon that Feng the butcher had transformed into. Jiang Ming had someone send a pension to that man's family. This was one of the few things he could do as a lazy constable.
"Reporting to the Lord...I...I didn't notice anything wrong..."
The constable seemed to be still a little frightened by the incident with the pig monster, and answered tremblingly.
Li Qi continued to ask: "Are there no suspicious people approaching?"
"No."
The constable shook his head.
Jiang Ming felt a little strange when he heard Li Qi's question. He asked in surprise:
"Sir, isn't this wild boar demon the one that stole the corpse?"
"What do you think? When we couldn't find this monster anywhere, it suddenly appeared in front of us by coincidence? How could such a coincidence happen in the world?"
Li Qi asked back.
Jiang Ming couldn't answer.
Seeing Jiang Ming didn't say anything, Li Qi continued, "Perhaps, Butcher Feng was just someone's attempt to attract attention, but I have something very strange."
"What?" Jiang Ming asked cooperatively.
Li Qi looked at Wang the Butcher who was sitting next to him without saying anything and said:
"There are two butchers in the city. If the person behind the scenes knew that I was investigating the pig demon, and therefore decided to choose the butcher closest to the pigs as a scapegoat, then why did he choose Butcher Feng instead of Butcher Wang?"
Butcher Feng is located in the west of the city, but he has neighbors all around him and relatives at home, so it is difficult to take action because there are so many people around.
On the contrary, although Wang the Butcher was good at martial arts, he had few neighbors around him and he was alone at home.
If we have to choose a scapegoat, it is obvious that Wang the Butcher is more suitable than Feng the Butcher.
"Perhaps it's because Butcher Wang has martial arts skills?"
Jiang Ming also looked at Wang the Butcher.
Li Qi narrowed his eyes upon hearing this: "If that's the case, then that proves that person knows that Wang the Butcher has martial arts skills..."
“…Is there something wrong?” Jiang Ming didn’t understand.
Li Qi prompted: "Before Wang the Butcher dealt with the pig monster today, did you know that Wang the Butcher was good at martial arts?"
"this…"
Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment, then he understood.
He only found out today that Wang the Butcher knew martial arts. If he had not seen the battle between Wang the Butcher and the pig demon with his own eyes today, he would not have believed that Wang the Butcher, who usually looked honest and kind, was actually a gangster.
Jiang Ming, a captain of the Six Gates, even if he was a slacking captain, didn't know that Wang the Butcher had martial arts skills. How did the person behind the scenes know about it?
Li Qi then asked Wang the Butcher:
"Are you sure you haven't exposed your kung fu to anyone else in the past two years?"
Wang the Butcher, who was drinking tea and pretending to be invisible, gently put down his teacup and replied:
"If you hadn't seen through my identity at a glance, I would have been confident that I could have hidden it from everyone in the city! In fact, until now, I still don't know how you discovered me..."
During the years that Wang the Butcher has been in the city, he has never revealed the fact that he possesses martial arts skills. In this world, unless one is a high-level innate master, no one can recognize the other person's strength level at a glance.
At most, when fighting, you can judge based on the energy surging in the opponent's body.
Normally, before taking action, even a congenitally strong person cannot grasp the specific strength of the opponent.
Only masters can easily tell what stage of strength others are at.
But if there really was a master present, then there would be no need for him to bypass Wang the Butcher, who was only at the seventh rank.
Therefore, if the person behind the scenes really gave up on targeting Wang the Butcher because of his martial arts skills, then either Wang the Butcher accidentally exposed the fact that he possessed martial arts skills.
Or... there is someone like Li Qi who has the ability to see through other people's cultivation.
Speaking of this, Li Qi naturally thought of someone.
He Ru.
Thinking of the woman who looked like a disciple of the Demonic Hehuan Sect, Li Qi took a deep breath and looked at Jiang Ming:
"By the way, how is the prisoner who ate the golden elixir?"
"Still observing... Would you like to go take a look, sir?"
"Let's go and take a look."
Li Qi stood up and said, and went to the prison of the Six Gates with everyone else.
Butcher Wang originally wanted to leave, but when he saw that Li Qi had no intention of letting him go, he had no choice but to follow Li Qi.
Arriving at the prison, Li Qi first glanced at the pig demon. Seeing that it was just lying on the ground groaning and unable to utter a word, he retracted his gaze and continued to go deeper into the prison.
The condemned prisoner who had swallowed the golden elixir was now locked up at the bottom of the cell, chained with shackles to ensure that he could not break free even if his strength improved.
Li Qi also ordered an eighth-rank warrior constable and two ninth-rank warrior constables to take charge of the guard and ensure that the man could not escape, and only then did he feed him the golden elixir.
Now that half a day has passed, I still don’t know whether that person’s strength has improved.
"grown ups."
As soon as Li Qi and others arrived, the constables in charge of guarding stood up to greet them.
As a subordinate, Jiang Ming was very considerate and asked on behalf of Li Qi:
"How's the guy in there?"
"It suddenly cried out this afternoon, but it stopped soon. We went in to take a look and saw that it was still alive, so we ignored it."
The constable replied.
Jiang Ming turned to look at Li Qi, who nodded slightly. Jiang Ming then continued, "Open the door. Lord Li and I want to take a look."
"yes."
The iron cell door slowly opened, revealing the figure of the prisoner who had eaten the golden elixir.
Li Qi, who always has his superpowers activated, only took one look at the prisoner and he knew that the prisoner's strength had increased from the ninth rank to the eighth rank.
Although he looked listless and his muscles were wriggling, he seemed to be in unspeakable pain.
But he really did transform from a warrior who had just entered the ninth rank to an eighth rank warrior in just one afternoon! The golden elixir...actually worked! ?
…
"Hey, have you heard? Something seems to have happened at the Feng the Butcher's house in the west of the city."
"Something happened? What could happen?"
"I don't know, but my friend over there said that there were loud screams coming from Butcher Feng's house, which attracted the people from the Six Gates! We don't know what's going on now..."
Li Qiao wandered through the streets and alleys of the border town, occasionally hearing discussions among people around her.
The incident with Butcher Feng happened in the afternoon. Now, more than two hours have passed. Although the people nearby don’t know exactly what happened, they know that screams came from Butcher Feng’s house, which attracted the attention of the Six Gates.
Rumors spread quickly in a small town. With word of mouth, everything was known within a day.
Of course, most of the time it is just rumors.
For example, it has been rumored that Feng the Butcher is actually a martial arts master wanted by the imperial court, which is why he attracted the Six Gates and so on.
Li Qiao received this information, but quickly put it out of her mind.
Although she was not clear about Feng the Butcher's affairs, she knew that Feng the Butcher's affairs were handled by Li Qi, and Li Qi should not be interested in these matters.
What's more, this is a rumor that was spread based on misinformation, so it has even less reference value.
Li Qiao's main attention was on the rumors about the Feisha Gang that Li Qi told her.
Li Qiao enhanced his hearing through the family's mental method and closed his eyes slightly, taking in all the information around him.
Not long after, Li Qiao heard a conversation coming from the corner of the restaurant.
The content of the conversation was related to the Feisha Gang.
