Chapter 150 Drinking Medicine
Qiu Qianling walked into the tomb again, and a cold and decayed smell hit him in the face.
"Qian Ling, you are here, come here." The white-horned demon sitting on the mahogany coffin looked up and his eyes fell on her, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
Qiu Qianling walked over, knelt on one knee in front of her, and stared at her intently, saying worriedly, "Master, you look much more haggard... You must have put a lot of effort into saving me, right? It's all my fault for being incompetent and not being able to kill those bitches for you."
By the end of her speech, her voice began to tremble, and her eyes were full of guilt.
Chi Qi subconsciously raised her hand to touch her cheek. Her fingertips touched the cold mask and she was stunned. Did this kid have X-ray vision? How could he tell that she looked haggard?
But it was true that she was heartbroken by the loss of a large amount of points.
There is no need to explain these to Qiu Qianling.
"Let her misunderstand that I did this to save her. Only by breaking down her defenses can I better use her for my own benefit, right?" Chi Qi thought coldly in her heart.
Anyway, the purpose of her doing all this is just to complete the task better. She has to charge a price for modifying the rules for the demons.
He raised his eyes to look at Qiu Qianling and said softly, "Don't worry about me. I am now a wisp of soul. Although I can't die, I can't live either."
Qiu Qianling felt relieved when he saw her tone was normal, but when he thought of his previous doubts, he couldn't help but ask: "But... since Master can modify the rules, why don't you just get rid of Fentian?"
Chi Li rolled her eyes slightly and said in a serious tone, "Well, of course, it's because strengthening the power of the demon clan is more important than killing him. Qian Ling, my cultivation has been exhausted, and the road ahead can only rely on you. You are my only disciple, so naturally you must shoulder the heavy responsibility of restoring the demon clan, do you understand?"
Qiu Qianling was stunned.
She was already shocked when her master asked her to kill Fentian, and now she was asked to take on the responsibility of revitalizing the demon clan, which made her even more panicked.
How could such a thing be possible for a mere Jindan realm cultivator like her to do?
The only thing she wanted in her life was to kill Xie Yuqing to avenge her mother.
Qiu Qianling opened his mouth and was about to refuse, but suddenly his mind flashed back to everything that had happened since he met his master.
She remembered her first meeting with her master. At that time, she was imprisoned and it was Chi Luo who gave her the Blood Blade, which helped her escape successfully.
Afterwards, her master taught her the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique. Although she suffered a lot during the training, she made rapid progress and in a short period of time surpassed her accumulation of more than ten years.
And when she stood up for the human race against oppression regardless of her own strength, it was her master who showed up to help her.
Even though the master exhausted all his cultivation for this, he did not blame her at all. This is far from the cruel and brutal Demon Lord Murong Ci in the legend.
Who else in her past life could have done this to her?
Qiu Qianling was overwhelmed with emotions and could no longer say no.
She took a deep breath, secretly made up her mind, and agreed: "Yes, disciple understands. I will definitely kill Fentian for Master and revive the demon clan."
Seeing her determined expression, Chi Qi's eyes flashed with a hint of relief. She was worthy of being the heroine, so ambitious, and it was worth her hard work in training her.
She reached out and lifted Qiu Qianling up, pulling her to sit beside the coffin. She whispered, "Qianling is incredibly talented. I believe with your determination, you'll definitely be able to lead the demons to victory over the immortals in the future. However, your current strength isn't enough to deal with Fentian, so I've created this illusory world of 'Nanke's Dream' for you to cultivate. This time, you can only leave this dreamland if you master the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique."
Qiu Qianling thought of the demonic spiders and venomous snakes that had died under her knife before, and her heart was eager to try. She clenched her fist and replied, "Yes, I'm ready."
Chi Li turned sideways and pointed at the coffin behind her. "The entrance to the illusion is right here. Lie down inside."
Qiu Qianling turned around and looked at the coffin, only to find that it was pitch black inside and he couldn't see anything clearly. It was like a bottomless abyss, emitting a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere.
She felt a little nervous, but out of trust in Chi Lun, she decided to go in.
Just as he was about to take action, he suddenly remembered something, "Wait, Master, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you. There's a demon king named Shadow Phoenix who wants to see you."
Then she told her about Shadow Phoenix coming to see her, and asked, "Should I tell her your identity?"
Chi Qi has the Mirror of the World and the Six Gods of Love to monitor the world for her. It can be said that everything is under her control.
Therefore, even if Qiu Qianling didn't say it, she knew about it, and she even knew what kind of person Ying Huang was better than Qiu Qianling.
She was not worried that her identity would be exposed, but now was not the time for her to be exposed.
Chi Li: "No, remember, don't reveal my identity to anyone."
Qiu Qianling did not doubt her identity, but instead thought that she was not allowed to speak because she had too many enemies in the demon clan.
After all, not everyone is happy to see that the soul of the deceased former Demon Lord still exists in the world. If it attracts bad people, wouldn’t the master be in danger?
She nodded in agreement without hesitation, then asked, "The Shadow Phoenix Demon Lord seems to be a good person. She wants to work with me to stop Fen Tian from sacrificing the lives of cultivators to the Demon God. Master, do you think I should trust her?"
Chi Li sighed softly, "Qian Ling, you shouldn't be wondering if she's trustworthy, but whether she can be used by you."
Qiu Qianling opened his eyes wide in surprise. How could he think like this?
Chi Li continued, "You must understand that the vast majority of people in this world are short-sighted and mediocre, blindly and foolishly following others. They'll sell themselves out for a little fame and false profit. Just like those hundred cultivators. They remain incredibly loyal to the immortals, even though they've always been despised and trampled upon by them. They also harbor an endless hatred for the demons, even though they've never harmed them. Do you think they're trustworthy?"
Qiu Qianling shook her head. Of course they were not trustworthy, but unfortunately, she was one of them. It was impossible for her to watch them being killed by Fentian and remain indifferent.
"So, for you now, whether they are good or bad is not important. What is important is how to use interests to guide them and achieve your goals."
Qiu Qianling fell into deep thought.
But Chi Li didn't let her think too long. She reached out and pushed her shoulder, and Qiu Qianling fell backward into the coffin.
"Ah——" The short scream was instantly swallowed up by the dark illusion.
Chi Qi stood up and the coffin lid slowly closed behind her.
She raised her hand and took off the white mask, revealing an indifferent face with no emotion in her eyes.
I hope this kid doesn't think too highly of her.
After all, she was just using her to achieve her own goals.

At the same time, in Zhongzhou City.
"Madam, the medicine you ordered has been prepared." The maid brought a bowl of sticky medicine to Li Jingui.
Li Jingui gestured for her to put it on the table, then waved her hand, "Go away."
The maid closed the door and left the room.
Li Jingui moved closer to the medicine bowl, and a strong, pungent fishy smell penetrated her nostrils and went straight to the top of her head.
Is this the elixir made from ten virgin boys' hearts? She suddenly felt a little scared. Would drinking this thing really not kill people?
But when she thought about becoming younger, she felt that the risk was worth taking, so she pinched her nose, picked up the bowl and poured the medicine into her mouth.
It tastes very bitter, fishy, and sandalwood, like some vomit stuck in your throat, which you can neither spit out nor swallow.
Li Jingui's face was distorted, and he immediately took the sweet water prepared beside him and drank it.
After drinking three bowls in a row, I felt that the fishy smell in my mouth was gone a little.
She sat down in front of the dressing mirror, anxiously and expectantly waiting for her appearance to change.
Before long, she felt a layer of oily dirt emerging from the surface of her skin, and her body became lighter.
She was overjoyed and quickly asked the maid to bring hot water. She took a bath and washed off all the grease and dirt on her body.
After washing, Li Jingui stood in front of the bronze mirror again and found that it reflected a young woman with fair skin and a smooth and round face without a single wrinkle.
"Oh my God..." Li Jingui raised her hand and stroked her freshly baked cheek. An irrepressible ecstasy surged in her heart, and her heart was pounding.
She really looks younger.
If Liu Xiaozhi saw her like this, he would definitely pounce on her, and those playboys out there would not be able to seduce him.
Li Jingui looked at the woman in the mirror with satisfaction, looking at her again and again, feeling extremely happy.
Just at this moment, heavy and hurried footsteps were heard outside the door. She was startled. Could it be that Liu Xiaozhi came back?
Li Jingui immediately put on her clothes and covered her face with a scarf, intending to give the other party a surprise.
Without waiting for the footsteps to approach, she happily opened the door, only to be met by two men with ferocious looks rushing in and demanding, "Where's the governor's wife?"
Li Jingui was startled. Taking a closer look in the lantern light, she discovered that the two men were actually two of the Nine Golden Elixir Sons. They often came and went in Liu Xiaozhi's study, so she recognized them.
The names of these two people are easy to remember. One is Li Er and the other is Qian San.
"Second Brother Li, Third Brother Qian, what happened to you? Didn't my master come back with you?"
Li Er sneered, "Oh, that loser Liu Xiaozhi is already dead. He was killed by his daughter herself."
Li Jingui was struck by lightning, dead, dead? Or was it Muchen who killed him? This is impossible!
Then she thought, if Liu Xiaozhi died, wouldn't anyone be able to see her face, which she had worked so hard to make beautiful and youthful? And wouldn't all the spirit stones she had spent on it be wasted?
Seeing her reaction, the two immediately realized, "Are you the wife of the governor? Hurry and take out all the spirit stones and treasures that Liu Xiaozhi has collected over the years, otherwise, I will kill you!"
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Li Jingui's wrist and pulled off the veil from her face.
Seeing the panic-stricken face under the veil, both of them were stunned. Was their memory confused? The governor's wife didn't seem so young?
Forget it, never mind, the most important thing is to get the spirit stones!
