These days, Li Qing can be said to be quite proud of himself.
After the competition in the arena that day, he entered the inner sect and became an inner sect disciple.
With the brand-new Falling Leaf Technique taught by his mysterious master, his level of strength increased rapidly, and in just one month, he broke through to the level of a martial artist, and because of this, he was valued by the sect master and accepted as his direct disciple.
Since then, his status within the sect has soared to the sky. In the past, those inner sect disciples who were aloof and commanded by Yi Qi, when they saw Li Qing, had to salute respectfully and call him Senior Brother Li.
And the disciples who had bullied Li Qing were so frightened that they came to the door one by one and knelt down to apologize in tears.
The great elder Zhao Tiankuang has not appeared since that day. There are rumors that he was ordered to retreat by the sect master.
The sect leader Ye Chongshan seemed to be interested in bringing Li Qing and his niece Ye Zimei together so that they could practice together.
Although he and Ye Zimei were just senior sisters and junior brothers before, and were hit by Zhao Long because of this. But facing a beauty like Ye Zimei, it is impossible to say that Li Qing has no thoughts in his heart.
Now Ye Chongshan's actions have hit Li Qing's heart. These days, he and Ye Zimei have been together, feeling the admiration of the disciples in the sect, not to mention how proud they are.
Fortunately, he has not forgotten who all this happened to him, and he is still thinking about his master, Taoist Xingchen, who is secretly watching him.
It's just that after such a long time, the master never appeared in front of him again. He secretly searched for him on the mountain several times, but there was no trace.
Not seeing any sign of his master, Li Qing felt anxious. He even secretly went to the bottom of the valley to look for him, but unfortunately he was unsuccessful.
"Is Master still in Qingfeng Mountain? If not, where did he go?"
Li Qing thought to himself, looking at the incense rising from the incense burner on the side, and rubbing his head at the same time.
He has been practicing very fast these days, but for some unknown reason, he occasionally feels dizzy while practicing.
"Qing'er."
At this moment, a steady voice interrupted his thoughts.
But they saw a tall, middle-aged man with a majestic face slowly walking in. It was Ye Chongshan, the leader of the Qingye Sect.
"Master."
Li Qing stood up quickly when he saw this.
Ye Chongshan looked at Li Qing with a look of satisfaction on his face: "Yes, your cultivation has improved a lot."
"But the journey of martial arts is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. You can't relax."
While speaking, Ye Chongshan looked at the fragrant sandalwood emitting from the incense burner nearby.
"This spiritual leaf sandalwood is a treasure that I specially asked someone to bring back from the north. How is the effect?"
Li Qing replied: "Master, this sandalwood does have miraculous effects. My disciple feels that his cultivation speed is much faster."
While Ye Chongshan nodded, he personally replaced the nearly burned out sandalwood in the incense burner with a new one, and said, "Well, as long as it works, come back to my master after you use it up. With your talent, you can match it with the new one."
This spiritual leaf sandalwood can enhance the practice of internal strength, and it may be able to break through to the realm of King Wu within ten years. My teacher is very optimistic about you, and you may be able to inherit the mantle of my teacher in the future."
Li Qing felt a hint of excitement in his heart: "Disciple will definitely live up to Master's high expectations."
After Ye Chongshan left, Li Qing was still a little moved.
"Although I already have a real master, the sect leader really treats me with sincerity. It seems that I misunderstood him before."
The sect leader was really kind to me, but I had thought before that if the sect leader allowed people like Zhao Long to run rampant in the sect, he was definitely not a good person.
At this moment, a voice sounded faintly.
"Silly boy, you got it right."
Li Qing was stunned for a moment, then looked towards the direction from which the sound came, with a look of ecstasy on his face.
"Master!"
He saw a young man in white clothes standing in the house with his hands behind his back, looking at him with a faint smile. It was Qin Yu.
"Disciple has met the master!"
Li Qing was overjoyed and came forward to prostrate himself: "Master, where have you been these days? My disciple thought you were no longer here."
Qin Yu said calmly: "Nothing, I just went to the imperial capital."
"Imperial Capital?" Li Qing was stunned: "Master, what are you doing in the Imperial Capital?"
However, he recalled Qin Yu's words just now and asked with some confusion: "Master, you just said, I didn't misunderstand, what do you mean?"
Qin Yu did not answer, but looked at the burning sandalwood in the incense burner.
Feeling the strange fragrance that passed into his nostrils, Qin Yu raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "It's a bit interesting. I didn't expect that this world that specializes in martial arts would have such gadgets."
Li Qing asked doubtfully: "Master, are you talking about this spiritual leaf sandalwood? This is a treasure specially given to the disciple by the master... the sect master. It is said that it can promote the practice of internal strength, speed up the practice, and can enlighten the gods when practicing meditation.
Purify your mind to reduce the risk of going crazy."
"That's true." Qin Yu smiled lightly: "But there is another effect, but your sect master didn't tell you."
"Ah?" Li Qing looked at Qin Yu puzzled.
Qin Yu walked to the incense burner and flicked it gently, and the sparks went out.
"Its aroma has a soul-moving effect. If you inhale it for a long time, it will destroy your sanity and turn you into a walking zombie without self."
"If you combine it with some martial arts that have effects on the soul, you can easily get a puppet that you can control at will. It's really ingenious."
"What?" Li Qing was shocked when he heard this. He took a few steps back in shock, but he couldn't believe it: "How could it be possible...Master, what you said is true?"
Qin Yu said calmly: "What do you think?"
Li Qing suddenly remembered whether he had been dizzy while practicing these days. His heart suddenly trembled and his face turned pale: "But...why did he do this, Master?"
Qin Yu shook his head, reached out and grabbed Li Qing's shoulders, and the two of them disappeared into the room in a flash.
When he reappeared, Li Qing found that he and Qin Yu were standing outside the sect's main hall.
Before he could ask, a familiar voice sounded from inside the hall.
"How's the progress?"
Li Qing was startled and immediately recognized that the person who made the noise was Zhao Long's grandfather, the Great Elder Zhao Tiankuang.
"Haha, of course it went very smoothly. That kid wasn't alert at all."
Li Qing's expression changed again, and this time it was the sect leader Ye Chongshan who spoke out.
Qin Yu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and stood aside, listening quietly.
The conversation between the two people in the hall reached Li Qing's ears.
"He has never noticed the effect of the soul-seizing incense at all. In a few days, I will use the soul-seizing hand on him under the pretext of teaching him martial arts."
"In this way, in two months at most, he will become an obedient puppet, hahaha."
Ye Chongshan's laughter came out, but Li Qing was shocked all over, and his expression changed drastically.
