Chapter 38 Joint Action 1
However, beyond Chu Li's expectation, Zhu Yan's expression did not appear as disdain as he guessed, but she was slightly stunned and returned to normal.
"There are many old monsters in the martial arts world with strange tempers, which is not strange." As if she could see the doubts in Chu Li's heart, Zhu Yan said lightly.
Sitting in place, Chu Li looked at Zhu Yan not far away, knowing that this woman was not what he usually saw, but a strong man who stepped into Wu Zun with half a foot. His insight strength far exceeded that of him and the people he knew.
"This little girl, I'm not an old monster." The unhappy voice of the Star Emperor came from Chu Li's mind.
"Is it possible for you to argue with a woman in your twenties?" Chu Li said with a smile.
"Hmm, I don't have the same experience as her." The Star Emperor snorted, even if he was silent.
"Although this is not a real guardian elixir, the effect of the medicine is still good, which is some help to your injury." Chu Li looked at Zhu Yan opposite and smiled slightly.
Zhu Yan nodded slightly. The god-protecting elixir is a high-level elixir. Although the effect of this revised god-protective elixir is much worse, it is also a ground-level elixir, and its value is not low. Moreover, the God-protecting elixir has great benefits for Zhu Yan's current injury. After all, this is specially refined by the Star Emperor for Chu Li in order to enter the extremely yin land in case of emergency. But now Chu Li is useless, but is used by Zhu Yan.
At the beginning, it cost Chu Li a lot of gold coins to refine this elixir, and even spent a lot of money to get it with Chu Yi's relationship. This is also the Star Emperor, who can create a revised elixir. If it is a real elixir, even if Chu Li takes out ten times more gold coins, he will not get it. This kind of healing medicine can not only be bought with money!
"Thank you very much." Zhu Yan is also rude. At this time, she will regain more strength, which will help more and more for tomorrow's battle. The greater the certainty of success.
"Looking for the face of the elixir you gave me, I'll tell you a message." Zhu Yan said lightly.
Hearing the words, Chu Li couldn't help looking at Zhu Yan opposite him doubtfully.
"There are three Xuanyin grasses, and I only need one." Zhu Yan whispered.
"Three plants?" Hearing this, Chu Li's face changed slightly. Although there is Xuanyin grass in the extremely yin land, the number is very small. There is often only one plant, both of which are extremely rare. Three can be said to be rare in a thousand years.
"Kid, you have to succeed this time anyway. The place where Xuanyin grass grows is not simple!" Xingdi's voice suddenly sounded in Chu Li's mind, with a trace of excitement in his tone.
"Old ghost, is there anything strange about that extremely dark place?" Hearing the words, Chu Li's expression changed slightly. It was the first time he saw the Star Emperor so excited. You know, even if it was the inheritance of the Qingming Venerable at the beginning, the Star Emperor did not have such excitement. Is it possible that there are more valuable treasures than Wu Zun's treasures?
Chu Li's slightly changed look was seen by Zhu Yan, "Don't worry, since I said that as long as there is one plant, I will never want more!"
"Thank you!" Chu Li said gratefully, but he asked the Star Emperor in his heart.
"Old man, what the hell is there?"
"If I guess correctly, there should be an elixir that can help me restore my soul!" The Star Emperor said excitedly.
"Old ghost, are you sure?" Chu Li said hurriedly.
The Star Emperor is also a teacher and friend to Chu Li, and the relationship between the two is also extremely good. Usually, Chu Li is careless to the Star Emperor, which is probably his habit in his previous life and does not have the concept of superiority and inferiority of warriors. However, he has always remembered the help of the Star Emperor. Although the Star Emperor usually seems to be quite cheerful, Chu Li knows that it is absolutely impossible for him to be as happy as he showed when he became a soul body.
Now that Chu Li is also nervous when he learns that there is something that can help the Star Emperor, he has no need anything for the Star Emperor, but Chu Li really wants to do something for the old man. Although he knows that his strength can't help the Star Emperor at all, he has never changed this idea.
If you encounter such a elixir that is helpful to the Star Emperor, you should get it for him! Chu Li secretly made up his mind.
"Although there is no 100% certainty, there are still 70% or 80% of them. I have seen records in this regard on ancient books. By chance, I saw three polar yin grasses, accompanied by nine leaves of lotus." There is a sense of self-confidence in Xingdi's words.
Hearing this, Chu Li suddenly understood that the nine-leaf lotus should be what the Star Emperor needs. Although the Star Emperor said that it was only 70% or 80% of the certainty, as Chu Li knew, the Star Emperor's attainment in alchemy was extraordinary, and 70% or 80% of the certainty was already extremely high, and it was definitely worth a try!
It seems that this time, you can't fail anyway! Chu Li's eyes looked at the direction of the battle between Zhu Yan and Jiu Nether Snake, and a fine light flashed in his eyes.
"If nothing can be done, wait for the next time, the nine ghost snake may not know the existence of nine leaves and lotus." Just as Chu Li secretly made up his mind, the voice of the Star Emperor sounded in his mind again.
"Old ghost, this is not just your business. Maybe we only have this chance!" Chu Li said with a smile.
Hearing this, the Star Emperor couldn't help but be slightly stunned and immediately came to his senses. The main purpose of this visit is to reshape the meridians of Chu Li. In another month, it will be the trial of the four families. At that time, if Chu Li has not reached the realm of martial arts, he is likely to be killed by Chu Xian. They don't have much time! You may not be able to wait until the next time.
In the forest, I fell into silence again, and occasionally I could hear the roar of beasts from afar.
Zhu Yan on the opposite side took the divine elixir, that is, she practiced and tried to restore as much strength as possible, while Chu Li protected her. Zhu Yan is the key to tomorrow's battle. This is not only their business, but also about the Star Emperor. Chu Li is not allowed to make any mistakes.
Zhu Yan's injury was indeed not light. This practice was three hours. Until the sky was completely dark, Zhu Yan slowly opened her eyes. At this moment, her breath was obviously much stronger than in the afternoon. Obviously, in these three hours of healing, her strength has recovered a lot.
"Thank you very much." Looking at Chu Li opposite, a look of gratitude flashed in Zhu Yan's eyes and whispered.
Although she is healing, Zhu Yan's perception is still there. Chu Li carefully protected herself for three hours, and she is also extremely clear.
"No, since you and I have cooperated and your strength is strong, isn't it possible that we will succeed?" Hearing this, Chu Li rubbed his sore neck and smiled.
"Anyway, you didn't have to do it, but you did it after all." Zhu Yan shook her head. Although it was cooperation, Chu Li had given a healing elixir of great value, which was regarded as benevolence and righteousness. There was indeed no need to protect her. Although Zhu Yan is not very old, she still has some ability to see people.
Hearing this, Chu Li did not say anything about it. Even if he found some dead branches around and lit a bonfire, soon, the forest emitted a strong smell of meat.
"I didn't expect your cooking skills to be bad." Looking at Chu Li, who turned the meat next to the fire, Zhu Yan couldn't help laughing.
"I used to be free. I learned a little." Chu Li looked at the barbecue, took out some unknown ingredients from time to time and sprinkled it on it. Suddenly, another refreshing fragrance came out.
Although Zhu Yan is a woman, her cooking skills are not flattering. After all, with her identity and strength, she doesn't have to cook in person. Even if she enters this southern barbarian land, she still carries dry food with her.
After rolling the barbecue again, Chu Li took out a piece of meat and handed it to Zhu Yan.
"Thank you!" Zhu Yan thanked her and took the barbecue. After the afternoon, although the two were not familiar with each other, their trust was established, and they did not have the strange feeling of meeting.
Zhu Yan took the barbecue and hurriedly bit it away. To be honest, the taste of dry food was not good. It was hot and delicious.
"It's so hot. Wait a minute." The teenager beside him said quickly when he saw this.
Listening to Chu Li's words, Zhu Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Even if you throw me into the fire, you can't burn me to death. Will you be afraid of this temperature?"
Hearing this, Chu Li couldn't help but look embarrassed. Indeed, even if he only had Yuanli forged nine stars, he was not afraid, not to mention Zhu Yan. Chu Li hurriedly grabbed a piece of barbecue in front of him and swallowed it to hide his previous embarrassment.
"Puff..." Zhu Yan, who was opposite, couldn't help laughing when she saw this.
Chu Li couldn't help looking up at the laughter, but saw Zhu Yan looking at herself with a smile. Under the firelight, the girl opposite was like a star in the sky, touching Chu Li's frozen heart. For a while, Chu Li turned out to be crazy.
"What are you looking at?" Zhu Yan on the opposite side also seemed to find something wrong and couldn't help whispering.
"So beautiful~" Chu Li was still immersed in the previous beauty and muttered.
Hearing the words, Zhu Yan's face couldn't help blushing slightly, but Chu Li did not find it against the firelight. With Zhu Yan's identity and strength, no one told her at all. To be precise, no one dared. Now it is watched by a strange man, and Zhu Yan, whose youngest daughter is in a state of mind, can't help but panic.
"Look still~" Zhu Yan could clearly feel how fast her heartbeat was, lowered her hot face slightly, and ate the barbecue carefully. Chu Li's naked eyes on the opposite side made her heart unable to calm down.
"Hum~" hummed gently and pulled Chu Li back from his mind.
Looking at Zhu Yan with her head down, Chu Li looked embarrassed and quickly lowered her head to chew the barbecue in her hand. For a moment, the woods were extremely quiet, and there was a slight chewing sound in the crackling burning sound in the air.
"This guy doesn't even have an explanation~" Zhu Yan couldn't help but think of it in her heart when she saw that Chu Li was bowing his head and eating barbecue.
If Chu Li knew that Zhu Yan thought so, she would be wronged. At this time, the more she explained, the more troublesome it would be. This is the experience of Chu Li in her previous life! So silence is the best way at this time, but Chu Li doesn't know that the woman in front of him is not the one he knew in his previous life.
