Chapter 100 Sun Huagu
"As long as I can stay alive, spending these spirit stones is no big deal."
After casting a spell to open the cave entrance, Song Li couldn't help but comfort himself.
"Hehe, Li'er, are you really that unwilling to do anything for your master?"
A sinister laugh echoed from the depths of the cave.
The sound came suddenly and without warning. Song Li froze, his hair standing on end in fright.
He steadied himself, the pain on his face instantly replaced by fear, and tentatively asked in a trembling voice:
"Master...Master?"
"What?" The voice from deep within the cave suddenly turned cold, losing some of its playfulness and gaining more impatience and authority:
"Your teacher has only been in seclusion for a few years, and you don't recognize me anymore?"
Song Li immediately came to his senses and quickly walked into the cave. When he arrived at the main hall, he saw an old man dressed in black, with a pale face, frost-like eyes, and a fierce look in his eyes.
His body was surrounded by a murderous aura, and a murderous smile played on his lips. Every move he made exuded a terrifying aura that kept strangers at bay!
"Disciple Song Li greets Master!"
Song Li knelt down with a "plop" and bowed deeply, his head bowed low. He dared not think about how the other party had bypassed the many restrictions of his cave and sat in the hall waiting for his return, as if he were the master.
Clearly, this old man in black robes is none other than the patriarch of the Sun family, and also the current Grand Elder of Jiyin Island, Sun Huagu, who is in the late stage of Core Formation!
"Li'er, you've been up to your old tricks these past few years. Did you tamper with Rong'er's body too?"
Sun Huagu immediately launched into a tirade, pointing out the shameful things Song Li had done.
"Junior Sister Pan, she...."
Upon hearing this, Song Li immediately broke out in a sweat. He wanted to explain, but couldn't think of a good reason in his haste.
"Heh, not bad. But what makes you think I won't let the two of you go to that place together?"
Sun Huagu didn't mind Song Li's little tricks; all he cared about was his century-long plan!
"Although I have some selfish motives, my heart to serve my master has not changed in the slightest. I am just afraid that my abilities are too low to shoulder such a great responsibility!"
"Thanks to Heaven, Master, several years ago I found a piece of jade among the outer disciples, a body imbued with the power of Fiendish Essence. Its innate magical offensive power is extremely strong, and it will surely be able to share Master's burdens!"
Song Li didn't want to become a tool for his master to open that place; even if he succeeded, he would most likely be crippled.
If you fail, you will be killed without a burial place!
"Outer sect? What is his cultivation level now?"
Sun Huagu became interested, after all, he knew that his eldest disciple would never dare to lie to him.
"He himself has had some good fortune and has already reached the peak of Qi Refining. The reason I went out this time was to buy Foundation Establishment Pills for him."
I believe that he will definitely succeed in establishing his foundation within one to three years!
Song Li seemed to have grasped at a straw and quickly explained.
Having said that, Song Li didn't dare to delay. He quickly took out a piece of white image-recording jade from his storage bag, and with a flick of his finger, the image-recording jade lit up instantly, revealing the figure of a young man.
It was the scene of Luo Qing smashing the Golden Water Stone with a single punch on the day of the sect competition. The punch was fierce and the murderous aura was awe-inspiring, fully demonstrating the power of the Fiend Yuan Body.
Sun Huagu's gaze fell on the phantom, and seeing the power of Luo Qing's punch, his interest grew even stronger. He couldn't help but burst into laughter, stroking his beard with great satisfaction, and said:
"Haha, excellent! What a formidable Fiendish Body!"
"Li'er, come here."
Sun Huagu waved to Song Li.
Song Li, who was usually so assertive in front of outsiders, immediately stood up cautiously like a frightened quail and moved to Sun Huagu's side.
The next moment, Sun Huagu raised his palm and placed it on the top of his head.
Song Li trembled and almost collapsed on the spot.
Fortunately, Sun Huagu did not do anything unusual; he simply reached out and stroked the top of his head.
"Li'er, among all my disciples, you are the one I love the most."
If there were any other way, I would never have asked you to do that.
Can you understand the difficulties a teacher faces?
Sun Huagu spoke earnestly, his tone tinged with a hint of grievance.
"Disciple understands! Disciple understands everything!"
Master is preoccupied with the greater plan and has no choice but to serve you. Your disciple will serve you even more diligently from now on and will never let you down!
Song Li felt no warmth upon hearing this, only a chill running through her, yet she still forced a smile.
"Keep an eye on that Luo Qing. Once he reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, bring him here immediately. If he still hasn't succeeded within three years, then bring him his head."
Sun Huagu patted Song Li on the shoulder, and the next moment he transformed into a black gust of wind, sweeping wildly out of the cave.
With a "thud," Song Li collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
He knew that if he actually took Luo Qing's head to see Sun Huagu, he would be finished!
"We must...we must make that kid reach the Foundation Establishment stage!"
Song Li's conviction had never been so firm.
......
Time flies, and two and a half years have passed quietly.
On this day, on the Earthly Fiend Peak of Extreme Yin Island, Song Li's face was so gloomy it could drip water, his brows were tightly furrowed, and he carried a pot of fine spiritual wine in his hand as he walked heavily to the gate of the Black Bamboo Courtyard.
Looking back on the past two years, Song Li felt a deep sense of frustration and heartache.
In the first year after Luo Qing returned to Jiyin Island, apart from sending him Foundation Establishment Pills and other resources, he did not bother Luo Qing for a single day.
In the second year, he would inquire about Luo Qing's progress or any difficulties every other season.
Luo Qing, however, was not polite at all. Under the guise of cultivation, she kept asking him for all kinds of pills, spirit wines, and even a number of rare treasures that could nourish the soul and assist in the cultivation of divine sense.
Although he felt a great pain in his heart, he tried his best to satisfy them.
But the following year passed, and Luo Qing still showed no signs of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, so he changed his routine to visiting once a month.
During their last meeting, he almost had a falling out with Luo Qing.
In the end, Song Li had no choice but to meet Luo Qing's request, since this was his only remaining hope!
"Don't be angry or anxious, there are still six months left, yes, that's right, there are still six months left."
Before unleashing the communication talisman, Song Li mentally prepared himself, taking several deep breaths before finally taking it out.
Before he could even unleash it, the light screen in front of him opened on its own, revealing the gate to the Black Bamboo Courtyard.
"Senior Brother Song, I knew you were coming."
"You're being so polite, even bringing spirit wine! Come, come, come in and sit down!"
Luo Qing pushed open the door and came out. She wasn't surprised at all when she saw Song Li. Instead, she warmly welcomed him inside.
"Senior Brother Song...?"
Song Li was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up as she said:
"You...you've broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage?!"
"That's right. Shortly after my senior brother left last time, my junior brother successfully broke through."
These past two years have been so tough on you, senior!
Luo Qing bowed respectfully, doing so with great sincerity.
