Pei Jing arrived at Shangyang Peak. The moment he stepped into the mountain, the peak master of Shangyang Peak noticed him, straightened his clothes, and came out to meet him in person. The peak master of Shangyang Peak, Elder Qi Dan, was considered the oldest among the 72 peak masters of the outer peaks.
In the middle stage of the Golden Elixir, he practices both swordsmanship and alchemy. He wears a yellow robe and always smells like medicinal herbs.
Pei Jing arranged Ji Wuyou here, firstly because he originally belonged to Shangyang Peak, and secondly so that Elder Qidan could treat him.
"How's that little disciple?"
Flying down from the sword, Pei Jing asked directly.
"Brother Pei." Although Elder Qidan was several hundred years older than him, he still had to call him Brother according to seniority. After hearing Pei Jing's question, he frowned and replied, "It's not good. I cleansed his meridians and marrow, and now I've lit some incense and let him sleep for the time being."
Pei Jing frowned: "So serious?"
He thought that according to Yu Qinglian, Ji Wuyou had some psychological problems at most, but he didn't expect that he had physical problems as well.
Elder Qidan sighed, his brows solemn, "The Qi in his body is disordered and on the verge of exploding. It's very dangerous. I have investigated for a long time, but I can't find the root cause."
Pei Jing frowned even more deeply. Ji Wuyou had the blood of the Heavenly Demon, and his inner essence was different from that of ordinary people. But wasn't it too early for the signs to appear now? He remembered that in the original novel, Ji Wuyou awakened only after being tortured by Pei Yuzhi for 9981 days.
He felt something was wrong: "Take me to see him first."
"Yes." Elder Qidan led him to the main hall and said as they walked, "When the disciple was unconscious, he had a strange phenomenon. His body became hot, as if it was being roasted by fire, extremely hot."
“How hot is it?”
"The temperature for quenching and refining pills is just this high. Many times, I thought he would die."
Pei Jing nodded: "I understand."
Deep in the main hall of Shangyang Peak, Pei Jing finally saw Ji Wuyou again. After several tortures, the little fat man's face had begun to become thinner. He curled up on the bed, sweating all over his body. Even in his dreams, he seemed to be experiencing something painful and desperate. His teeth were clenched, his breathing was trembling, and his hands were clenched weakly.
"He's awake again?"
Elder Qidan frowned, turned around, and lit a few more incense sticks in the room. The fragrance was very strong and slightly bitter.
Pei Jing walked to the bedside, his fingers falling on the boy's hot eyebrows. His body became a battlefield, all kinds of spiritual power in his body were biting and devouring, destroying his consciousness. After half a step into the Nascent Soul, he also had a certain enlightenment about the five elements of the Heavenly Dao. Pei Jing could sense three forces. One was the spiritual energy of ordinary people, and the second was a violent energy hidden in the blood, which was probably the power of the devil. The third one was as hot as magma. It was probably the reason why Ji Wuyou became like this.
This magma-like hot power definitely did not come from Zhonglian Village or Shuyan. It seemed that it had been dormant in his body for a while, and now it finally found an opportunity to come out and roar.
Pei Jing didn't dare to treat him, fearing that the situation would get worse. The cigarette quickly took effect, and Ji Wuyou's breathing gradually became stable. His fingers loosened, and he fell asleep in pain with a frown.
Pei Jing just glanced at him, then walked out of the palace with Elder Qidan.
Elder Qi Dan asked the question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time: "Brother Pei, you ordered me to take him in, and now you are taking such good care of him. Do you think you are impressed by this boy's aptitude and want to take him in as your disciple?"
Otherwise, he couldn't figure out why Pei Yuzhi was so caring towards this little foreign disciple.
Shangyang Peak is covered with greenery, and golden light scatters half of the mountain. Compared with Tianqian Peak, which is always cold and foggy, it is more vibrant and warmer. Pei Jing held the sword in his hand, lowered his head and smiled: "I have this idea, but I'm not sure."
Elder Qidan frowned, not quite confident about this young senior brother who became famous at a young age: "Your acceptance of a disciple is related to Yunxiao's future successor. Senior Brother Pei, please think twice."
Pei Jing: "Do you think he is not suitable?"
Elder Qi Dan hesitated for a while and said truthfully: "In terms of talent, he is not the best, and in terms of hard work, he is not outstanding. Among the millions of disciples in Yunxiao, he is not even a standout in Shangyang Peak, let alone the disciples of the 72 outer peaks, not to mention the 36 inner peaks. In my opinion, he is not qualified for this position now."
Pei Jing thought about it, smiled and said: "It makes sense. I also think that if I rashly accept him as a disciple, there will definitely be a lot of people who oppose it, and I won't be able to pass the test of the master. But Ji Wuyou is always a little special. "
What makes a qualified male protagonist in a cultivation story
Since he was able to watch "Zhu Jian" in the first place, it is unlikely that he would hate the protagonist.
When I was a kid, I was a fat kid who could just live a normal life as long as I was full. I was always confused when I was bullied. I was a little silly and childish, but still kind. After awakening, I became a big devil, and I had another quality. I read the cultivation novels for fun - decisive killing, waste material counterattack, slapping cannon fodder, who wouldn't want to read it
Ji Wuyou's character, he now only encountered cowardice, but Pei Jing remembered that Ji Wuyou's most obvious character in his practice after awakening was cruel and stubborn. He was cruel to others and even crueler to himself. He was stubborn about revenge, stubborn to the point of madness.
Pei Jing said to Elder Qidan meaningfully: "If he persists in practicing, he will be an existence that surpasses me."
Elder Qidan opened his mouth and widened his eyes. He was not familiar with Pei Yuzhi, but he had heard of this world-famous chief disciple. Pei Yuzhi, who was arrogant in his bones, said in person that he was surpassed.
Do you really trust that disciple so much
Ji Wuyou, does he really have so much potential
Pei Jing didn't care about Elder Qi Dan's expression and left first. He still had a lot of things to deal with. When he left the main hall, Chen Xu had been waiting for him outside for a long time. It was night. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the soft light flowed on the towering mountains.
Chen Xu said: "Do you want to go to Zhongnan Peak to ask in person, or should I bring the person here directly?"
Pei Jing said: "Let's go to Zhongnan Peak. Maybe we can find something there."
A thin layer of clouds at night.
Chen Xu tilted his head and asked him, "How is it? It's been so long. How is your journey into the world? How many emotions have you experienced?"
Pei Jing said: "Not many."
Chen Xu said: "Let me ask this another way. How does it feel to be an ordinary disciple practicing in Yunxiao?"
Pei Jing glanced at him: "Do you really want to listen?"
Chen Xu snorted and laughed: "Are you not used to it? You are used to being spoiled, so you must have offended a lot of people."
Pei Jing said: "I don't know if I offended anyone, but when I walk on the street, I hear people praising me all the time, which makes me feel a little embarrassed."
Chen Xu: "... You deserve to come into this world with nothing to show for it."
Pei Jing smiled with his head tilted. At this moment, the moonlight was beside him, and his eyebrows were clear and elegant. "What do you mean by gaining nothing? There is still something to gain. This is the first time in my life that I have been rescued, protected, and promised by someone."
Chen Xu: “???”
Pei Jing: "Does this feeling count as being in the mortal world?"
Chen Xu was frightened and stiffened: "Who?"
Pei Jing looked thoughtfully at the Zhongnan Peak which was getting closer and closer.
The young man in white raised a lazy smile at the corner of his lips.
"No more for now."
Chen Xu was horrified and chased after him. What was Pei Yuzhi's expression just now
Having just met the head of Shangyang Peak, Pei Jing came to meet the head of Zhongnan Peak. He felt that he had done his job very conscientiously today.
Mount Zhongnan is on the edge of the clouds and looks a bit eerie at night.
Chen Xu said: "That disciple is the only one who survived after coming into contact with the devil. His spiritual roots are completely destroyed and he is also stupid. If we want to get information from him, we can only use the spirit-peeking technique."
The art of peeping into the soul is to sit in the formation and pry into the memories in people's minds. Peeping into the soul is not to capture the soul, and it will not harm the person's body. So in fact, the information obtained may not be much, and it may not even be correct.
Pei Jing said: "So he is in the formation now?"
The head of Zhongnan Peak was a woman, wearing a Taoist robe and a hat, like an ascetic monk. She didn't speak and her gender couldn't be seen. Hearing this, she whispered, "Yes, I have prepared the formation a few days ago, waiting for Senior Brother Pei to come back."
Walking down to the underground of the palace. The candlelight was dim, a high platform was suspended in the air, and below it was a flowing black river. Looking around, a man was sitting cross-legged on the high platform. He looked ordinary, and was wearing foreign peak clothes.
His hands were chained together, his eyes were closed, but his expression was peaceful, as if he was asleep.
The leader of Zhongnan Peak said, "When he wakes up, he is crazy and will bite himself. I will let him sleep first."
Pei Jing asked: "When did he get into trouble?"
The head of Zhongnan Peak frowned and said, "That day, when I was preaching to my disciples, he suddenly rushed in, his eyes were red, and his clothes were covered in blood. He was like a madman, biting everyone he saw, and injured many of my disciples. Among them, my second disciple almost had his hand bitten off by him."
Pei Jing: "What happened to those disciples after they were bitten?"
The head of Zhongnan Peak said: "Most of them are minor matters, but Changwu's injury is a bit serious."
The author has something to say: So I was so lazy before, was it because I was not in school
