Chapter Fifteen: Li'er's Daughter

  After an unknown period of time, Qin Yu gradually felt the existence of his body. He moved his fingers slightly, and in just a moment, the feeling of completely controlling his body came back again. A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Qin Yu's mouth.

  Open your eyes, and what should enter through the eyelids is a roof made of bamboo.

  "Not Coral Mountain!"

  Qin Yu's face changed greatly, and he suddenly sat up violently, his eyes flashing with a fierce light. In an instant, his gaze swept around the surroundings, grasping everything in his mind. This was a very quiet bamboo house, with no one else present.

  Originally, Qin Yu was hiding inside the Coral Mountain, but when he woke up, he found himself in a bamboo house. How could Qin Yu not be shocked? Qin Yu immediately observed his own state with spiritual awareness, including his soul and the elixir field within him.

  Feeling that his body was fine, Qin Yu secretly let out a breath of relief.

  At the time of the popular tear repair, Qin Yu was killed and cut, and there was no resistance at all. Now it seems that the person who got himself here did not do any harm to himself.

  Qin Yu looked out of the hut and was surprised to find that outside the bamboo house was endless seawater. Apparently, there was a prohibition outside the bamboo house, directly shielding all the seawater, allowing the bamboo house to remain unaffected. Qin Yu's spiritual awareness expanded.

  In front of the bamboo house are three rooms, behind three rooms, and in the middle is a courtyard. Within this bamboo house courtyard, there is not a single drop of seawater, but outside the bamboo house is endless waves, yet few guests enter this bamboo house courtyard to marvel at its tranquility.

  "Who is the master here?" Qin Yu got out of bed and walked out of the room. Just as Qin Yu had just gotten out of bed, his spiritual sense detected someone walking towards the bamboo house courtyard from outside. Qin Yu immediately took two steps out of the room.

  Success!

  Upon seeing the man in front of her, Qin Yu's first impression was that he seemed to be a steady and calm person. His tranquil eyes appeared as if they could see through one's soul instantly. The man in front of her looked like an ordinary person in his forties.

  "Little brother, you're awake?" the man said with a smile.

  Qin Yu's heart was filled with vigilance, he had no idea when he would be rescued. If he had been rescued just after being injured, the other party must have known how severe his injuries were - his spleen was shattered, his liver was severely damaged, and there was a huge hole in his abdomen. This was absolutely fatal.

  Now he's come back to life again, if it were an ordinary person they would definitely be shocked.

  "In the lower realm of the shooting star, I didn't know you... Ah, you're a human!" Qin Yu was greatly shocked. He had just scanned with his spiritual awareness and discovered that the person in front of him didn't have any demonic aura at all. Moreover, Qin Yu couldn't even detect the person's cultivation level."

  According to Qin Yu's knowledge, his spiritual awareness could at least detect the early stages of Yuan Ying. The man in front of him was at least in the middle stage of Yuan Ying.

  "You can call me Uncle Lan, yes. I am indeed human... you can think of me as a cultivator." Uncle Lan said with a calm smile.

  Qin Yu was shocked in his heart, a cultivator dared to enter the seabed, this is a place where life is in danger at any time. Even if one's cultivation is high, they wouldn't dare stay at the seabed for long, after all, there are many powerful sea floor demons.

  "Lan Shu, you're a cultivator, what are you doing at the bottom of the sea?" Qin Yu asked in puzzlement.

  Qin Yu didn't notice the flaw in Uncle Lan's words "You can think of me as a cultivator", if he was really a cultivator, how could he say such a thing, but at this moment Qin Yu is worried that his Flowing Star Tears will be discovered by others, and is also surprised that Uncle Lan is human, so naturally didn't notice this flaw.

  "I'm at the bottom of the sea because Lier likes the environment here. So I brought her here." Lan Shu explained with a smile, seemingly having a good impression of Qin Yu.

  "Stand up?" Qin Yu's heart skipped a beat.

  "It was Lier who saved you and brought you back. But she's out now, come, try the tea I've prepared." Lan Shu said warmly, then directly led Qin Yu to the central courtyard, where they sat facing each other.

  Lan Shu brewed two cups of tea, and then Qin Yu started chatting with Lan Shu.

  Although the conversation was very casual, Qin Yu's heart was always worried that his secret might be discovered by someone. He had suffered such a severe injury but did not die; if he were an ordinary cultivator, wouldn't it be surprising and suspicious?

  "Uncle Lan."

  A clear and elegant voice rang out, Qin Yu turned his head to look over.

  Jet black hair cascaded down, shiny enough to reflect a person's image. Those eyes gave people a sense of serenity. The whole person's skin was crystal clear like jade. The cyan shirt was loose and wide, with a white waistband that cinched at the waist, making it slightly slender.

  She held a bamboo basket in her left hand, with some zinnias inside.

  "Shooting star, this is Li'er, she's the one who saved you." Lan Shu said with a smile. Qin Yu looked at Li'er in front of him, and thought to himself that as the young master of the Wang family, even the maids in his household were all beauties. But Li'er... was not stunningly beautiful, although her skin was smooth like jade and she had an elegant demeanor, her facial features could only be considered average.

  "Thank you for saving my life, young lady." Qin Yu said with a slight bow.

  However, at this moment Qin Yu's heart was very vigilant. He didn't know when the girl in front of him, Lier, had rescued him and brought him back. If Lier had rescued him when his injuries were mostly healed, and she hadn't discovered his fatal wound, that would be for the best.

  "Mr. Liuxing, no need to thank me, although I brought you here, even if I didn't intervene, you could have recovered on your own." Lier's sparkling eyes looked at Qin Yu, and the quiet eyes had a rare hint of curiosity.

  Qin Yu's eyebrows suddenly furrowed.

  Qin Yu found that in the past, under normal circumstances, the Flowing Tears only emitted a thread of warmth to nourish his soul. However, now it was emitting two or three times more heat than before. He didn't know why, but to be precise, it started when Li'er appeared, and Qin Yu's Flowing Tears began to emit more heat.

  "Mr. Meteor and Uncle Lan are chatting here, I'll go back to the house." Li'er girl slightly nodded, then walked towards the three rooms behind the bamboo house, directly entering one of them. The front three rooms of the bamboo house belonged to Li'er girl, while Uncle Lan was in the front three rooms.

  Qin Yu now occupies one of them.

  "Lan Shu, it seems that Li'er's powers are not high. How can you be at ease with her wandering alone in the Sea of Cultivation?" Qin Yu said with a smile as he sipped his tea. Just now, his spiritual sense had scanned and discovered that this Li'er actually only had the strength of the Golden Elixir early stage.

  Jindan period. And it's still a human cultivator. This level of strength is really dangerous in the world of sea-bottom demon cultivators.

  Lan Shu closed his eyes to savor the tea, then smiled and said: "Li Tuo has some special skills. Although she can't compare with other demon cultivators, in the world of sea-bottom demon cultivators, self-defense is not a problem."

  "Special skills?" Qin Yu silently memorized it in his heart.

  Just saw that Li girl, Qin Yu still has a thread of good feeling about her.

  Suddenly??

  The clear and elegant sound of the guqin rose up. It was as if the sound of a spring bubbling, a mountain stream flowing, a refreshing and peaceful atmosphere. Qin Yu unconsciously put down his wine cup, closed his eyes carefully, and savored the sound of the guqin. Meanwhile, Lan Shu beside him did the same.

  The sound of the qin rose up, like a mighty wave in the ocean, surging forward in waves. After a long time, the sound of the qin changed again. Like the pines on the edge of the sky and sea, the wind and waves came in waves. Finally, with one last note of the qin, Qin Yu's entire being seemed to have entered the snowy realm.

  It seems as if everything in sight is a vast expanse of white snow.

  The music stopped, and it wasn't until much later that Qin Yu slowly came back to himself.

  Qin Yu opened his eyes, and a sense of calmness filled his heart. Ever since he inadvertently entered the underwater world of the Sea God's Palace, Qin Yu had been pursued by Sang Mo and even fought a fierce battle with a giant red-blooded python, and all along the way, Qin Yu had not had a moment of peace.

  At this moment, Qin Yu's heart had rarely calmed down.

  "Li's piano skills are absolutely at the master level." Qin Yu sincerely praised. Qin Yu had also heard so-called great pianists perform in the Wang Mansion, but compared to Li, they were fundamentally on a different level.

  Just listening to this tune, Qin Yu's state of mind seemed to have been cleansed. The slaughter that had taken place during this period of time had made Qin Yu's state of mind cruel and ruthless, but just this one melody had elevated his state of mind.

  "Li'er's piano skills also represent her mental state from another perspective. I feel that Li'er's mental state is quite high." Qin Yu said with doubt.

  The majestic atmosphere in that zither sound, the refreshing serenity, even Qin Yu had a kind of being-on-the-spot feeling, to reach such skill, how could the cultivation of one's state of mind be low? But for such a person, their power was only at the Golden Dan early stage?

  Lan Shu smiled: "Li'er, she has no interest in cultivation, although she is naturally talented. If she wanted to cultivate, she would have surpassed me long ago, but she doesn't want to cultivate, so her progress is much slower."

  Qin Yu suddenly understood.

  The soul will not deceive people, and Li'er's girl is indeed just the early stage of Jindan.

  "Stand up, sister."

  With a loud roar, an ape burst in from outside. Qin Yu only felt a flash of golden light, and a standing ape appeared before his eyes. Qin Yu's spiritual awareness swept over it, and he was shocked in his heart. The ape in front of him had actually reached the middle stage of Yuan Ying.

  At this moment, Qin Yu was convinced that his spiritual consciousness should be equivalent to the middle stage of Yuan Ying. When Qin Yu was in the monkey's eyes, the monkey also swept Qin Yu with a glance.

  "Ahah... So this is the injured person that Li'er sister brought back, right? Let me introduce myself first, my name is Hou Fei, ahah... As for strength, I'm stronger than you!" With that, the monkey scratched its head and burst out laughing. Lan Shu suddenly shouted: "Mao Hou, be more polite to our guest."

  The gibbon immediately restrained its overbearing aura and said, "Master, there are rarely any powerful experts in this mountain valley. Although the person in front of us doesn't have high cultivation, they can still exchange blows with me. The other demonic beasts in the valley don't dare to fight me."

  Qin Yu was secretly shocked in his heart.

  It turns out that this mid-term ape in the yuan infant is actually Lan Shu's apprentice. If his younger brother has reached the middle of the yuan infant, how strong is Lan Shu's real strength? At least Qin Yu can't see through it and can't say it accurately.

  "All day long you only know how to make trouble, give me some quiet." Lan Shu scolded seriously, and that little rascal Hou Fei immediately stood aside quietly without saying a word.

  Lan Shu smiled and looked at Qin Yu, saying: "Flowing Star, don't look at Hou Fei's playful and mischievous appearance, but he is actually a divine beast, the 'Jin Qing Water Ape'. Now, in the world of sea bottom demon cultivators, it's estimated that there won't be another one like him."

  Qin Yu was shocked in his heart.

  Divine beast, and what is Huo Jing Shui Yuan. Qin Yu's secret book also mentioned some divine beasts, but there was no such thing as Huo Jing Shui Yuan among them. However, Qin Yu did not suspect Lan Shu's words at all.

  "Gagaga, this divine beast is one-of-a-kind, but Master just won't let me leave the valley, saying my skills are too low. Hmph." Hou Fei said with a humph, standing to the side.

  Qin Yu's heart skipped a beat.

  "Not enough power"? Even the divine beasts that have reached the middle stage of Yuan Ying are not allowed to leave the valley, and this Master Lan's requirements for his disciples are really high. After all, divine beasts can't be judged by their realm, they are generally more than ten times stronger than the same level of masters.

  The divine beast in the middle of Yuan Ying can be compared with the cultivators of Dongxu realm.

  ……

  In the bamboo house courtyard, Qin Yu and Lan Shu chatted for a long time. For some reason, Lan Shu seemed to be very interested in Qin Yu. He was a master who didn't even bother to talk to his own disciple Hou Fei, yet he had been chatting with Qin Yu for half a day.

  That's why Hou Fei was also forced by Lan Shu to call Qin Yu "Big Brother". It was just like how Hou Fei used to be forced to call Li Er "Sister" in the past.

  Qin Yu instructed Lan Shu not to let anyone enter his room, as he needed to cultivate. Without saying another word, Lan Shu set up a seal around the house, but Qin Yu was able to come and go without being affected by it.

  "Compared to Hou Fei, my own strength is really far behind, let alone compared to Lan Shu." Qin Yu felt the gap and decided to refine the Red Blood Python's Yuan Ying.

  Qin Yu's spiritual awareness entered the spatial ring, and in the vast space within the ring, there was a huge, crimson-colored corpse. Qin Yu's heart stirred, and a cluster of purple light appeared on his palm. Within the purple light was an infant, its soul gone, this infant seemed like an energy crystal.

  Qin Yu sat cross-legged, and the Yuan Infant floated in front of him. The illusory power of the stars surged out, forming a whirlpool-like nebula. At the same time, a starry true fire also enveloped the Yuan Infant, which began to slowly melt away. The impurities were refined, and the energy began to rotate with the power of the stars according to the vortex...
