Chapter 23 After many life-or-death trainings, Bei Liyuan finally...
After practicing many times, Bei Liyuan was finally able to conceal his feelings, and his interactions with Li Youyang could return to being as natural as before.
On this day, when Bei Liyuan was practicing the formation, Medicine Saint rushed back with the Infant-Nourishing Pill. Li Youyang asked Bei Liyuan to take it directly. On the fifth day after taking the Infant-Nourishing Pill, Li Youyang took Bei Liyuan to the forbidden area of Xuantian Sect. Although it was an important place of the sect, there was no one guarding it because an ancient god-level ferocious beast was sealed in the forbidden area. Xuantian Sect did not object to disciples coming here to feed the ferocious beast, provided that the disciples had the ability to protect themselves.
When they were young, Li Youyang and Fu Guangjun liked to come here. It took them about fifty years to go from being badly beaten by the ferocious beasts every time to beating the ferocious beasts badly every time. He still remembered that he was at the level of Golden Immortal when he first came here.
Bei Liyuan was about to form a pill, so he definitely didn't bring people here to teach them a lesson, but to let Bei Liyuan truly feel death. Only by experiencing the fear of death would he have a stronger will to survive and respect life.
Since he woke up from his rebirth, he has been reflecting on what went wrong that led Nan Liujing to ruthlessly sacrifice thousands of innocent souls. He has not yet received a definite answer, but he feels that if he experiences life and death, perhaps things will change.
…
Entering the forbidden area, the ferocious beast, which had been lying lazily, suddenly shuddered: "This feeling is unmistakable, it's Li Youyang and Fu Guangjun and the others!"
He almost instantly fled to a familiar corner and stared at the newcomer vigilantly.
"We haven't seen each other for hundreds of years, but you haven't changed your habit." Li Youyang said coldly.
The beast carefully examined Li Youyang, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he had indeed not yet established his foundation. "After not seeing you for hundreds of years, what retribution have you suffered to become like this?"
Li Youyang's eyes darkened slightly.
The beast continued, "You and Fu Guangjun have tortured me for fifty years. Are you seeking death by coming here in this state today?"
Li Youyang raised his eyes: "You can try it."
The beast suddenly rushed over, but seeing that Li Youyang was not afraid at all, it stopped in its tracks: "Forget it! I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let you go."
Li Youyang sneered: "After so many years, you are still so cowardly. I haven't even reached the foundation building stage yet, and you don't dare to come and fight me. You might as well change your name to Coward."
The beast gritted its teeth: "Li Youyang, you are seeking death."
Li Youyang laughed: "That's right, I came here to die, but if I had known you were such a coward, I would have gone to another place."
The ferocious beast suddenly rushed over in rage, and Bei Liyuan flashed with the magic sword in his hand to fight with the ferocious beast.
Li Youyang watched with his arms folded. No matter how much time passed, this guy only grew older but not smarter. He would still fly into a rage at the slightest provocation.
…
Due to the huge disparity in strength, Bei Liyuan couldn't even block a single move from the beast and was slapped away by it. But the next second, Bei Liyuan rushed up again. After more than ten times, the beast finally had to pay attention to Bei Liyuan.
"It's so annoying! Will it ever end?"
Bei Liyuan climbed up again and wiped the blood from his lips: "If you want to touch my master, you must..."
The ferocious beast slapped Bei Liyuan, who slammed hard into the stone wall and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The ferocious beast turned around and looked at Li Youyang again. It let out a wail as soon as it took a step. Bei Liyuan's magic sword pierced the beast's butt, almost cutting off its roots.
The beast kicked the man away, then turned back to lick the wound. This was the only vulnerable spot on its body, and it was fooled by this brat. "Stinky boy, you dare to attract the attention of my grandpa, Zisun Gen. Today, grandpa will make sure you die miserably."
Next, Bei Liyuan was beaten by the ferocious beast for nearly half an hour.
“Go to hell!”
Bei Liyuan struggled to stand up and looked at the ferocious beast coldly.
At this moment, a black vortex suddenly appeared in the void, and before they could react, they were all pulled into the vortex.
Li Youyang's eyes were cold, this aura was demonic.
At this moment, a cold blade attacked him without warning. Li Youyang was thinking about how to leave and did not notice it. Then he was pulled into Bei Liyuan's arms. Before he could react, the cold blade had already pierced Bei Liyuan's vitals. Bei Liyuan immediately vomited blood and fainted.
Before losing consciousness, Bei Liyuan smiled. It turned out that dying in the arms of his master was so warm.
…
Three days later, Bei Liyuan heard the Medicine Saint's nagging voice, "I'm not saying anything, but you're being too disrespectful. Li Yuan is only at this level, yet you're taking him to a forbidden area? There's an ancient god-level beast imprisoned there. Even if it's sealed by an ancient god, its strength is comparable to that of a semi-saint. How is this any different from asking him to seek death?"
Li Youyang said coldly, "I want him to fear death and revere life."
The Medicine Saint frowned. "Even so, you could have used an illusion to let him experience it. Why risk your life? If he really died there, you would regret it deeply."
Li Youyang was silent. He didn't expect such an accident to happen.
The Medicine Saint groaned and continued, "Look at you, don't you know what's going on? Just take Li Yuan away with you. Why don't you force the forbidden technique and destroy that magic blood? Even if your injury is even slightly more serious, I can't save you."
Li Youyang coughed twice and said, "If you hurt my disciples, I will show no mercy."
The Medicine Saint was speechless. He hurt his enemy a thousand times but lost himself eight hundred times. He was truly sick. "Why don't you wait for Fu Guangjun to come back and kill him, or come back to find Jiuying? How come you're still so stubborn even after dying once?"
Li Youyang added, "Don't bring this up with Lord Fuguang."
The Medicine Saint was even more speechless. Fu Guangjun wasn't blind, so how could he not see it? Even if he was there, the injury would take at least three months to recover. "I can tell him otherwise, but I can't guarantee that he can see it."
Li Youyang hummed.
The Medicine Saint muttered softly while preparing the medicine:
"What a mess! Since Fu Guangjun isn't here, you could at least tell me! At worst, you could bring Jiuying with you!"
"If you don't want to trouble me, you will end up causing me more trouble."
"I'm so impressed! Luckily, both of them made it back alive, otherwise Fu Guang-jun would have overturned my medicine garden if he had returned."
"What bad luck! How could I have met such an idiot?!"
Li Youyang turned his head away and pretended not to hear.
A quarter of an hour later, a pill was handed to Li Youyang: "Eat it."
Li Youyang frowned. For the first time, he felt that he could smell a bitter taste, but seeing the Medicine Saint's gloomy face, he didn't dare to say anything more and just swallowed it.
The Medicine Saint's expression brightened a little. "I'll go see if the elixir for the little fellow is ready. You stay put and don't use your meager spiritual energy again."
Li Youyang: ...
After the Medicine Saint left, Li Youyang looked at the wounded Bei Liyuan with eyes full of heartache. He couldn't help but raise his hand and tidy up the hair on his forehead. It was the first time that someone protected him with his life.
Perhaps because of the elixir he had taken, Li Youyang felt a little sleepy and fell asleep at the head of Bei Liyuan's bed.
Bei Liyuan opened his eyes and looked at Li Youyang. It was great that he was still alive and he could still be with his master. He must be more diligent and work harder. Only when he was strong enough could he protect his master.
…
When the Medicine Saint returned, he saw Li Youyang fast asleep in front of the bed and couldn't help but complain, "Really? Can't you go back to your room if you're sleepy? If you catch a cold again, you'll be in big trouble."
The Medicine Saint complained as he picked up Li Youyang and left the room.
Li Youyang had just woken up when he saw Jiuying staring at him with a gloomy face: "Li Youyang, have you forgotten that we signed a spiritual contract?"
"I haven't forgotten."
"I haven't forgotten! I haven't forgotten the danger you put yourself in. If you die, I will die with you."
Li Youyang turned over and faced Jiuying: "Medicine Saint has been nagging me all day. I won't do that anymore."
Jiuying softened his tone: "Li Youyang, I'm really scared. Don't let this happen again."
Li Youyang was a little annoyed: "Then why don't you quickly find the mansion and break the spiritual contract, so that I won't have to implicate you."
Jiuying clenched his fist: "Do you think I'm afraid of getting you into trouble?!"
Li Youyang was silent. What else?
Jiuying was speechless for a long time, and finally yelled at Li Youyang, "You have no conscience."
Li Youyang: "It's inexplicable."
…
Ten days later, Bei Liyuan was able to walk again, and Li Youyang began to teach him how to practice again. Unlike before, Bei Liyuan studied harder and more diligently, sleeping less than two hours a day. But even so, he still received a lot of scolding every day.
Bei Liyuan's talent can be said to be unparalleled in the world, but he is still slightly inferior to Li Youyang in the art of formation, and he failed to operate it successfully three times in a row.
Li Youyang said coldly: "No, come again."
Bei Liyuan did as he was told, but just as he started drawing, he was interrupted by Li Youyang: "Too slow, start over."
The Medicine Saint watched from the side and couldn't help but say, "Li Youyang, you're almost there! Don't you know what formation you're teaching? Even I can't draw it properly without half a day's practice, and you let Li Yuan learn it after just a few tries, and you..."
Li Youyang interrupted in a deep voice: "If the person I teach is you, I will give you one day, but Li Yuan is different, he can do it."
The Medicine Saint was speechless. Who was he insulting? How could a Half-Saint cultivator who learned a formation-breaking technique be defeated by a Golden Core cultivator?!
"Haha! If I bother with you again I'll be a dog!"
The Medicine Saint was just about to turn around when Bei Liyuan actually successfully formed a formation. He was stunned. Although he didn't want to admit it, Li Youyang's words were indeed a bit... well... very pertinent.
Bei Liyuan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips and looked at Li Youyang expectantly. However, Li Youyang said coldly with a dark face, "It took you so long to learn it. What's there to be proud of? Let's practice the next formation!"
"Yes, Master."
The Medicine Saint was slightly stunned. Learning a formation is like getting into a fight! Really amazing!
…
After a whole morning, both of them were a little hoarse. The Medicine Saint made a mint tea for them and said, "I'm really impressed by you two. Several disciples have been sneaking into our courtyard all morning, thinking they might find something interesting, but they all came with high hopes and left disappointed."
Li Youyang took the teacup and said, "Young people should be energetic and enthusiastic in their cultivation."
The Medicine Saint rolled his eyes: "Haha! Others spend their energy practicing, but you just waste your voice."
Li Youyang coughed twice awkwardly.
Bei Liyuan curled his lips. He rarely saw his master with such an expression. He looked a bit like a child.
