Many of the people who bought Li Xiu's Zhongguang Method at the martial arts arena were so angry that they almost exploded.

The light-growing method is now very popular. It is posted everywhere in the streets and alleys. Many people have copied it, and it is impossible to keep it secret.

"Li Xiu is a really interesting guy... He has offended almost all the major forces in Changsheng City by doing this. Can he still survive in Changsheng City in the future?" The old man laughed so hard that his mouth was crooked.

He and Mo Wuya didn't spend any money to buy it, and now they feel very comfortable.

"If he doesn't do that, he will really be in trouble. If only Li Changyin has obtained the light-growing method, do you think the Li family will allow Li Xiu to live?" Mo Wuya said.

"He said it as if he could survive now. Li Changyin must be so eager to skin him alive. It must be a fight to the death." The old man laughed and said, "It's not just the Li family. The families that bought the light method are now blocking the gate of Courtyard No. 7. If Li Xiu doesn't return the money, I'm afraid the Li family won't even need to do anything. The other families will tear Li Xiu to pieces."

"It's useless. News just came over there that Li Xiu and several of his cronies didn't return to Courtyard No. 7 at all. They quietly went to Wangsheng Town. They should have entered the trial site by now." Mo Wuya said with a smile.

"That kid ran fast. It seems he has been planning this for some time and has even thought of a way to escape. Which trial ground did he go to? Isn't he afraid that someone will chase him and kill him?" said the old immortal.

"He entered the Tianmen. How many people do you think can enter the Tianmen to hunt him down?" Mo Wuya said with a smile.

"Others can't go, but people from the Li family can go. Isn't it more dangerous?" The old man pondered.

"Since he went to Tianmen, he must have other plans. Do you think he is the kind of person who would rush to his death without thinking?" Mo Wuya said.

"Not like that. That guy is more sinister than a ghost." The old man laughed.

Li Xiu ran away with his men without even waiting for the competition to end. After leaving the martial arts arena, he met up with Sha Chu who was posting advertisements in Changsheng City. The few of them went straight to Tianmen with the resources they got in exchange for selling the Seed Light Method.

With the help of Li Qingyi, several people successfully entered Tianmen City. With Li Qingyi, Jing Li and Jiu Xiaoyun there, it was not a problem to lead them upstream up the mountain to complete the trial.

Li Xiu planned to hide with Lao Dao for a while. He definitely could not get his money back. Once his level went up, he would not be polite to anyone who was willing to ask him for a refund.

"Are you really planning to hide in Tianmen City and not go out? This is not a proper solution after all." After Li Qingyi sent Li Xiu into Tianmen City, he looked at Li Xiu with a strange expression and said.

She had never seen anyone as crazy as Li Xiu, and she really couldn't figure out whether Li Xiu was a genius or a madman.

There is no doubt that he is a genius as he was able to create this light method. However, how could a genius bring himself to this point and become the enemy of the world? This is something only a madman could do.

"Escape is shameful, but it is indeed very useful." Li Xiu said with a smile: "I can't bring the little puppy in, so please help me take care of it after you get out."

Li Qingyi sighed and said, "This Tianmen City is not a safe place. In fact, it is more dangerous than outside. You may encounter a terrifying demon at any time. What's more, Li Changyin can also lead people into Tianmen. I can help you outside, but no one can save you here. You are in more danger here than outside. Why don't you go back and return the money to them and live your life in peace?"

"It's okay. I have my own arrangements." Li Xiu said goodbye to Li Qingyi and walked towards Tianmen City with Sha Chu, Jing Li and Jiu Xiaoyun.

"You're such a jerk. You've already posted the Light Planting Method all over the streets, so why couldn't you give me one in advance?" Jiu Xiaoyun followed Li Xiu, feeling extremely depressed.

Li Xiu was courting death and dragging him along with him. His blood seal stone was in Li Xiu's hands, so he had to follow Li Xiu in.

"Even if you have the light method, can you use it to condense your meridians?" Li Xiu said casually.

Jiuxiaoyun became even more depressed, now he knew that the light planting method required a light-based lamp-lighting foundation to condense the light veins.

However, the only light base level in his family had left Changshengtian a long time ago and no one knew where he had gone. With his "good reputation" in Changshengtian, it was really difficult to find a light base level to light the lamp for him to build his foundation.

"Can I condense my meridians by following you?" Jiuxiaoyun curled his lips.

Li Xiucai is only C-level, which is a long way from the light base. The only light base here is Jing Li, but will Jing Li help him light the lamp?

"Since you are already a member of my technician team, it's no big deal to help you light the lamp and build the foundation. However, everything has a first come first served. After we settle down, I will help Sha Chu light the lamp first, and then help you light the lamp and build the foundation." Li Xiu said casually.

After hearing what Li Xiu said, Jiu Xiaoyun felt a little better. After all, it was Li Xiu who lied, and it had nothing to do with him. After Jing Li helped him light the lamp and build the foundation, he would find an opportunity to steal his blood seal stone back, and then immediately draw a clear line between himself and Li Xiu.

He thought that Li Xiu wanted Jing Li to help him light the lamp and build the foundation, and did not really understand what Li Xiu meant.

Li Xiu took the map given to him by Li Qingyi and walked towards Tianmen City according to the map. This was a safe route explored by Changshengtian, so there shouldn't be too much risk. What's more, Jing Li was there, so there was nothing to be afraid of as long as his luck was not too bad.

The gate that Lao Dao is guarding is on the other side of the city, and one needs to cross the entire Tianmen City to get there.

"Where are you going?" After following Li Xiu for a long time, Jiu Xiaoyun couldn't help but ask.

Sha Chu and Jing Li both followed Li Xiu without saying a word, which made him very depressed.

"Go to Elder Dao who is guarding Tianmen." Li Xiu said with a smile.

When Jiu Xiaoyun heard this, he almost jumped up: "Are you looking for death? Do you know who Elder Dao is?"

"I know. Elder Dao is one of the ten elders. Now he has replaced the chief elder to guard Tianmen. He is the temporary chief elder." Li Xiu answered as he walked.

"That's not what I'm talking about. What I mean is, do you know the relationship between Elder Dao and the Li family?" Jiu Xiaoyun said.

"What is the relationship between Elder Dao and the Li family?" Li Xiu asked puzzledly.

Jiu Xiaoyun was almost pissed off by Li Xiu: "Elder Dao was recruited into Changshengtian by the Li family through the Seeking Dao Group. Elder Dao's blood seal stone is still in the hands of the Li family. If you go to Elder Dao, aren't you walking into a trap?"

"Oh, so that's the case. That's a bit troublesome." Li Xiu didn't expect that Lao Dao's blood seal stone was actually in the hands of the Li family.

He was not afraid that Lao Dao would be instigated by the Li family to deal with him. With Lao Dao's character, it was useless to threaten him with his own life.

Li Xiu was afraid that if someone really turned out to be from the Li family, they would take Lao Dao's blood seal stone with them. He was afraid that Lao Dao would lose his life because of the falling out between them and the Li family.

Li Xiu knew how to deal with the Blood Seal Stone, but that method was only applicable before the contract was signed. For the Blood Seal Stone that had already been contracted, Li Xiu had no other way to deal with it.

"It's good that you know. We must not go to Elder Dao's place. Let's find a place to hide. Please help me light the lamp first, so that we will be safer." Jiuxiaoyun said.

"Let's talk about it after we meet Elder Dao." Li Xiu said.

"After I've said so much, you still want to go see Elder Dao?" Jiu Xiaoyun was almost angry to death.

Li Xiu smiled and said nothing more. He continued walking forward referring to the map.

Seeing Li Xiu like this, Jiu Xiaoyun was so angry that he had nothing to say. He closed his mouth and walked on his own. He thought to himself: "Anyway, there is no grudge between me and the Li family. Even if Elder Dao received an order from the Li family, he would only kill you, Li Xiu. What does it have to do with me? Good words can't persuade a damned ghost."

Tianmen City is so huge that after walking for several hours, I had only walked less than a quarter of the route on the map.

Fortunately, they had the map and the route marked by Li Qingyi. If they were really left to grope around in there on their own, who knows if they would have survived to reach Lao Dao.

When several people walked to the side of a jade pavilion, Li Xiu stopped and looked at the pavilion.

"This is Yanbo Pavilion. According to the marks and annotations on the map, we have to rest in this Yanbo Pavilion for a while. Only after the lotus in the Yanbo Pavilion blooms can we wade across the Yanbo Pond in front." Li Xiu said as he walked into the Yanbo Pavilion.

This Yanbo Pavilion has four corridors and eight pillars, and is built in a rather strange style. What's even stranger is that there is an ancient well in the middle of the Pavilion. The water in the well is almost overflowing, and two lotus leaves and an unopened lotus are growing on the water surface.

If the lotus does not bloom, you cannot go into the water and cross the misty pool in front.

According to the map, there is no bridge to enter the Yanbo Pond in front, so you can only cross the water. The 80-mile Yanbo Pond can only be reached by swimming. If the lotus does not bloom, strange things will happen in the Yanbo Pond. If you go into the water, you may not be able to get out alive.

In addition to swimming across, there is actually another way. There is a small boat in the Yanbo Pond, and you can also cross the Yanbo Pond by taking the boat. However, the boat is usually controlled by the people guarding Tianmen. Unless Lao Dao comes here on patrol, they have no boat to use.

Jing Li looked at the Misty Wave Pond shrouded in light fog outside the pavilion and said, "I've heard people say that there is an extremely terrifying demon in the Misty Wave Pond. It hides at the bottom of the pool and won't come out. If a person or a demon passes by the Misty Wave Pond, it will pull them into the water and devour them, even if they are at the light-based level. The demon will only fall asleep when the lotus blooms, and will wake up when the lotus closes again. We can take advantage of this time to cross the Misty Wave Pond."

Jiu Xiaoyun said, "But I have heard a statement that is a little different from yours."

"What's that?" Li Xiu asked.

Jiu Xiaoyun looked at the rolling light mist outside the pavilion and said, "The story I heard is different from Jing Li's. There is no demon spirit in this Misty Pool, but a concubine of the Emperor of Heaven is sleeping there."

"The Emperor of Heaven's concubine? Why would the Emperor of Heaven's concubine be sleeping in this pool?" Sha Chu also became interested and asked Jiu Xiaoyun.

"It is said that the Emperor of Heaven is extremely cruel. He would have sex with women every night. He would torture the women who had sex with him to death and throw their bodies into the Misty Wave Pond. It is unknown how many innocent women were killed by the tyrant and buried in the Misty Wave Pond. The Misty Wave Pond is 80 miles long and is the burial place for the dead souls and resentful women. It is said that the bottom of the pond is covered with the bones of those women."

After a pause, Jiu Xiaoyun continued, "Until a woman named Lian became the tyrant's concubine and actually walked out of the tyrant's bedroom alive. From then on, the tyrant had to let Concubine Lian serve him every night and never harmed other women again."

"If that's the case, why was Concubine Lian also thrown into the Yanbo Pond in the end?" Sha Chu asked again.

"Princess Lian was not thrown into the Misty Wave Pond, but jumped into the Misty Wave Pond herself." Jiu Xiaoyun continued, "The tyrant reveled every night, indulging in wine and women, and completely ignored state affairs, causing resentment in the Demon Kingdom. The concubine Lian understood the righteousness of the matter, and tried to persuade the tyrant to no avail, so she jumped into the Misty Wave Pond herself, dying to show her determination, hoping to persuade the tyrant to work hard."

"Is the tyrant moved?" Sha Chu is a woman after all, and she has a beautiful wish.

"I don't know if she was moved at that time, but she definitely didn't change, otherwise the Demon Kingdom wouldn't have perished." Jiu Xiaoyun smiled and said, "The story isn't over yet, I'll continue. The Lotus Concubine had a holy mind. After she threw herself into the Misty Wave Pond, she didn't turn into evil spirits like the other women, but turned into lotus flowers in the pond. When the lotus blossomed, it was when the Lotus Concubine woke up, and the resentful ghosts of the women buried in the Misty Wave Pond would be attracted by her and would not come out to harm people. If you enter the Misty Wave Pond before the lotus blossoms, you will definitely be dragged to the bottom of the pond by the resentful ghosts in the pond and drowned alive..."

"You deliberately made it sound like a story, but it doesn't make sense," said Sha Chu.

"A story is just a story. If it is really reasonable, can it still be called a story?" As Jiu Xiaoyun was speaking, he saw the lotus in the well blooming.

The lotus is like snow, with a cluster of pink at the tip. When it blooms, it looks like snow stained with rouge.

"The flowers are blooming, let's go down to the pond." Li Xiu took a look at the blooming lotus, then turned and walked towards the pond.

Several people filed into the water and walked down the steps. Jing Li walked in front, Li Xiu and Sha Chu were in the middle, and Jiu Xiaoyun was at the end.

Because of the cloud-like and smoke-like light balls, I couldn't see the water below. I walked along the stairs for several steps before I felt the water reaching my ankles.

We continued walking forward and soon the water was above our thighs.

The cloud and mist in front was getting thicker and thicker, and it was almost impossible to see what the other party looked like even though it was so close.

"Everyone be careful." Li Xiu said, and then he felt his feet go empty and his whole body was soaked in water. The steps were gone, and there was bottomless water under his feet.

Although the people were very close, they could no longer see each other and could only hear the sound of water nearby.

Li Xiu swam forward with his arms wide open, while listening to the sound of water nearby so as to keep in sync with Sha Chu and the others.

It is said that Yanbo Pond is eighty miles long. Given their physical fitness, it would not take them too long to swim eighty miles.

In order to wait for Li Xiu and Sha Chu, Jing Li and Jiu Xiao Yun slowed down a lot, otherwise they would have swum away long ago.

The water in Yanbo Pool was a little cold, but Li Xiu was not afraid of it. However, after swimming for a while, he felt the water was getting hotter and hotter.

At first he could still bear it, but after a while, the water in the pool became so hot that it seemed like it was boiling, and Li Xiu couldn't stand the scalding anymore.

"Why is the pool water so hot? Shachu, are you okay?" Li Xiu tilted his head back, paddled in the water with his hands, and shouted in the direction of Shachu.

He was not worried about Jing Li and Jiu Xiaoyun. With the physical fitness of those two guys, even if they were put into boiling water, it would not hurt their bodies.

"Hot? How can it be hot? The water is quite cool." Soon Sha Chu's voice was heard from the side.

As Sha Chu spoke, he moved closer to Li Xiu and soon reached next to Li Xiu, swinging his legs in the water, paddling with one hand and groping with the other hand to touch Li Xiu's body.

"Cool?" Li Xiu's mind was full of question marks.

He felt that although the water nearby did not bubble like boiling water, its temperature was probably close to the boiling point. No matter how good his physical fitness was, he would not be burned, and it would be impossible for him to feel cool.

"Yes, it's cool but not too cold." Sha Chu touched Li Xiu's arm, leaned over, and ran his fingers up along his arm, and soon touched Li Xiu's face.

Shachu touched Li Xiu's forehead with his hand: "It's normal, you don't have a fever, why do you feel hot?"

"If you don't have a fever, then you must be suffering from **. Could it be that after hearing me say that this pool is full of female ghosts, the little flame in your heart can't be suppressed?" Jiu Xiaoyun's teasing voice came from the side. He and Jing Li also heard Li Xiu's words, and they stopped and floated in the water nearby.

"Xiao Li, do you feel hot?" Li Xiu ignored Jiu Xiaoyun.

"It's not hot." Jing Li answered affirmatively.

Li Xiu thought, "This is weird. Four of us are in the same pool. It doesn't make sense that I'm the only one feeling hot."

"Is there any problem?" Jing Li asked in a deep voice.

"No problem, keep going." Li Xiu knew that even if something happened, they couldn't panic. They had to swim over before the lotus closed.

Jing Li responded and continued to swim forward. Li Xiu, Sha Chu and Jiu Xiaoyun quickly followed.

But Li Xiuzhen felt that the more he swam, the hotter he became, as if he was swimming in boiling water.

Fortunately, his physique is not bad. If he had not become a trial-taker before, he would have been cooked by now.

The strange thing is that Shachu and the others nearby were fine.

Jing Li kept asking him if he was okay, as if he knew that something might have gone wrong with Li Xiu and was ready to come to the rescue at any time.

Apart from the heat, Li Xiu didn't feel there was any problem. Fortunately, although the water was uncomfortable with the heat, he could still hold on. Besides, there was no point in saying anything now. He had to swim out anyway, so he could only speed up and swim forward.

Hearing that Li Xiu had sped up, Sha Chu and the others also swam forward.

As he swam, Li Xiu felt as if his feet had touched something, which startled him. He quickly pulled his legs back and shouted, "There's something under the water..."

"What is that?" Sha Chu's voice came over.

"I don't know. It disappeared after it touched me. It was a bit like something swam past my legs." Li Xiu frowned. The thing disappeared after it touched his calf, just like a fish swimming past his legs.

"Captain, can we please not be so startled? Are you afraid of female ghosts in the water because of the story I just told you? If you are really scared, then just say it. I will hold you in my arms while you swim. If there are female ghosts, let them come to me." Jiu Xiaoyun's smiling voice came from the left.

"Stop talking nonsense and swim out quickly." Li Xiu felt that something was definitely wrong in the pool and urged them to keep swimming forward.

"It's obviously you who's talking too much nonsense, okay?" Jiuxiaoyun muttered.

Starting again, Li Xiu swam while secretly paying attention to the movements underwater. Unfortunately, there was a halo like clouds and fog in the water, which made the pool water look like milk, and he could not see anything under the water at all.

Suddenly, Li Xiu felt as if his ankles were entangled by something. Before he could make a sound, that thing emitted an irresistible force that pulled him directly underwater.
