Stars fall and locust trees grow

Chapter 109 Qi Luoxing's Memories 1: The Transaction with Li Jun

The room was pitch dark.

There was neither candlelight nor moonlight.

Qi Luoxing curled up helplessly in the darkness, allowing despair and loneliness to devour him mercilessly.

It has been three days since Li Chi's death.

The miracle he had been waiting for never happened.

Even though he was supplying spiritual energy to the young man lying beside him every day, the boy's body was still becoming paler and stiffer at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even purple-red spots appeared on his skin due to stagnant blood flow.

Qi Luoxing buried his face in Li Chi's shoulder, sobbing silently. He didn't know how he should face this collapsing world in the future.

The person next to me is cold.

But Qi Luoxing seemed not to feel anything at all.

He snuggled up to that person, imagining him as the still lively and sunny boy, until the dawn broke.

Not long after, it was Chenshi.

There was a rustling sound of footsteps in the yard.

Qi Luoxing, who was unable to sleep, heard his door being opened from the outside and then closed from the inside.

Immediately afterwards, a dark purple figure appeared in front of the bed.

"Aren't you planning on practicing today?!" Li Jun glanced at Qi Luoxing, then at the person lying beside him, with a half-smile on his face, "What?! Are you planning on spending your whole life hugging his corpse?!"

"What does this have to do with you?!" Qi Luoxing suddenly sat up from the couch, his bloodshot eyes full of vigilance and resentment. "Also, what do you want to do here?!"

"Of course I came to see if he was dead, and to see how ridiculous you are." Li Jun looked down at him, "But you'd better not look at me like that."

He pointed in the direction of the inner courtyard and said, "It was the direct descendants of the Li family who killed him, not me."

"Isn't your surname Li?!" Qi Luoxing sneered.

"Of course my last name is Li, there is no doubt about that." Li Jun said, "However, like your cousin, I am just a branch of the Li family."

"You are actually a collateral relative?!" Qi Luoxing found it a little unbelievable.

How could the Juyun Sect keep a side branch in the inner courtyard, and allow him to enter and leave the training hall with other elders? !

The training hall is the core secret of the Juyun Sect. Aren't they afraid that Li Jun will tell everyone about it? !

As if he didn't notice Qi Luoxing's confusion, Li Jun suddenly chuckled and began to talk to himself: "To be honest, I am still very envious of you two. You are just a pair of cousins, but you are closer than real brothers. Looking at you, I can't help but think of my own brother."

"At that time, we two entered the inner courtyard together. We thought that with our talent for cultivation, we could help our branch of the family return to the main family. However, no one expected that we were just sacrifices for their direct lineage to experiment with."

"Qi Luoxing, actually, you are much luckier than me."

"I don't understand what you mean." Qi Luoxing stood up excitedly and said sarcastically: "I can't even protect the most important person, and you actually say I'm luckier than you?!"

"Yes!" Li Jun still looked calm.

He looked at the resentful boy in front of him, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Because you met me now, I say you are luckier than me."

"what do you want to say in the end?!"

"I want to say, maybe I have a way to save him." Li Jun said.

"What did you say?!" Qi Luoxing suddenly stood up from the couch and jumped directly in front of him, "Do you have a way to save him?!"

"Although his body may not be saved. However, as long as his spirit and soul are not dispersed, it is not impossible to gather them together with secret methods and then find a suitable host body." Li Jun said: "Gathering the soul is not difficult, but if you want to merge the spirit and soul with the host body, you must first get the Yin-Yang Wheel."

"Yin Yang Wheel?!" Qi Luoxing suddenly sneered, "That is the holy weapon used by the founder of Juyun Sect. It is the basic source for them to practice evil magic. How can someone like me get the Yin Yang Wheel?!"

"Just because... the Juyun Sect's reliance is gone." Li Jun's eyes suddenly shone with a strange light, "Just because you are the most talented test subject in the history of the Juyun Sect."

Qi Luoxing carefully considered the meaning of his words, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he blurted out: "You mean... Li's ancestor..."

"Yes! It's just as you think." The smile on Li Jun's face gradually turned crazy. "That old man Li Yuan is much more cruel than Li Shi. For his own selfish desires, he almost destroyed nearly three generations of the Li family. Even the direct relatives could not escape."

"Because of the Yin-Yang Wheel, he also suffered from the blood-draining disease, and this disease will be passed on to the descendants of the Li family through the blood, causing their progress in cultivation to be extremely slow."

"In addition, in order to ensure that the secret technique would not be passed on to others, he only allowed the direct descendants of the Li family to practice the Yin-Yang Wheel. As a result, the Juyun Sect now only has such a weak and useless direct descendant."

"Without their support, Li Shi and the others naturally felt unsure, so they also thought about practicing the Yin-Yang Wheel." Li Jun paused, "And this is why we are standing here, and it is also the root cause of your cousin Li Chi's death."

"Why are you telling me this?!" Qi Luoxing suddenly calmed down. "Based on the relationship between you and me, it seems that we are not yet at the point where we can be honest with each other."

"Why not just tell me your purpose directly!"

“Hehehe…” Li Jun laughed, “It’s refreshing to talk to smart people.”

He put away the smile on his face, and his expression suddenly became sinister, "In fact, I am a person who holds grudges. I will never forget the helplessness I felt when I saw my own brother being burned to ashes."

"Those who started this should be punished accordingly."

"So, you think I can help you?!" Qi Luoxing said.

“Of course!” Li Jun stared at Qi Luoxing intently, “The person with the highest realm in Juyun Sect right now is only Sect Master Li Shi, who has just entered the first level of the Earth Infant Realm.”

"It took him nearly ten years to break through from the ninth level of the Dan Yuan Realm to the early stage of the first level of the Di Ying Realm. With your talent, you may be able to easily surpass him in just a few decades."

"When that day really comes, don't you want to kill him and avenge your cousin?!"

Seeing that Qi Luoxing seemed to be almost convinced by him, Li Jun continued: "Although we are not friends, we are not enemies either. Saving Li Chi's soul is my sincerity in wanting to cooperate."
