poison

In Liu's new home on the mountain next to Li Qiye, Liu had a bad expression, why can't I, it's been two days already

Over the past two days, Liu tried to open his fate palace but no matter how many times he knocked it didn't work, is it possible that I have a worse talent than Li Qiye and I might need to knock five days and nights, no, that doesn't make sense because I haven't felt any progress yet, damn Did this system bring me here to kill me

At the same time, the leaders had received an invitation from the Ninth Demon Saint Gate Sect.

"What… the Ninth Demon Saint Gate Sect wants to test Li Qiye?"

After receiving the invitation, the six leaders were extremely shocked.

One of the six leaders regained his composure a bit and started cursing.

"They heard the news very quickly. He has not officially become a Core Disciple yet but they want to test him."

One of the leaders continued, "It seems that they want to evade the promise of our two sects, a rubbish like Li Qiye will not be able to pass the test no matter how hard he tries. So they want to take this opportunity and get rid of the promise."

"Do we have any choice?" The first commander spoke, his expression completely black.

"Currently, the Ninth Demon Saint Gate Sect possesses an entire kingdom. In our current case, we will not be able to refuse their request because of the huge difference between us."

His words caused everyone to fall silent. At the beginning of Emperor Min Ren's era, their sect was unbeatable, hearing them shook the entire nine worlds, their strength ruled an ancient empire alone, and all the sects were extremely afraid of them. Not a single being in the world was capable of shaking the sect's prestige.

But, with the passage of time, the glories of the past had passed, and now they no longer possessed enough power to rule an ordinary kingdom, what of an ancient empire, and they had lost their right to confer titles such as the named hero and royal noble to their vassals and fighters.

"What are we going to do? One of the leaders asked.

All the leaders were aware that the chances of a mortal succeeding in passing the test of a formidable sect like the Ninth Demon Saint Gate Sect were completely nil.

"We have no choice but to send it." Another leader gave his answer.

"If he succeeds somehow, we will become a brother-in-law with the Ninth Demon Saint Gate Sect. If that happens, the Heavenly God Sect and the Heavenly Jewel Realm will stop despising us."

In the face of an impossible dream like this, the leaders couldn't do anything but force a smile to appear on their faces. But no matter how certain they were that there was no chance of success, they had no choice but to send Li Qiye to take the test

"Have you not opened your Fate Palace yet?" Li Qiye asked after entering Liu's house

"No, my talent seems to be worse than before," Liu sneered

"You only need a strong heart to rise above the world." Li Qiye said seriously

"Strong heart." Liu put his hand on his heart and sighed as he recalled his painful memories. Then he looked at Li Qiye and said, "Thanks, I'll put it in my mind." It's not as if Liu didn't know about this or not believe it, rather he knew about it and believed it deeply, especially because of his experiences with Sickness When he saw others succumbed to the disease and died, he resisted hoping to live

"You didn't come here just to tell me that." Liu asked after banishing the bad memories from his head

"In three days, I will go to the Ninth Demon Saint Gate Sect, do you want to come with me?" Li Qiye asked, in fact other than his admiration for Liu's personality, he wanted to keep an eye on him more to see what kind of existence could be despair to seal someone's Fate Palace, making even A beast like Li Qiye can't see through

"I won't be of any use to you." Liu replied, somewhat able to understand Li Qiye's thinking

"Don't think like that, who knows, it might really help me." Li Qiye replied

"Okay, I'll go with you, excuse me now." He stood to leave somewhere when someone appeared in front of him

"Protector Mu, is there a reason for you to be here?" Liu asked

When Protector Mu heard Liu addressing him, he felt sad.

"This is for you, it will help you." And he left before he could finish his words, which made his echo echo where they were

Liu looked at the thing that Protector Mu had left in his hand, a fruit close to the shape of an apple

The "Dusk Fruit" Liu sighed. It wasn't something mentioned in the novel because its use was to help open the main palace for people with bad talent who couldn't bear the long ways to open their First Destiny Palace or in some special cases like Liu's case.

"He is a considerate person, but I do not advise you to eat this fruit because it is poisonous," Li Qiye said

This made Liu shocked, "You're kidding, aren't you, why would he try to kill me?"

"I don't know his intentions but you should know." Li Qiye said, making Liu think but no matter how he thought, he didn't find it reasonable.

"Well, since you know it's poisoned, you know how to get rid of the poison," Liu said

"Of course, this kind of poison is very simple, but why should I help you?" Li Qiye chuckled

"Do you not want me to accompany you, then you must pay me for the trip?" Liu sneered

"Okay, well, don't cry, I'll do it."

Liu did not comment on Li Qiye's words, after a short while with Li Qiye's help he was able to get rid of the poison and then immediately ingested it and the result was..nothing

Liu was not someone to give up easily or else I would have succumbed to the disease and died a long time ago but he didn't see any progress so he was sure his way was wrong, what am I missing, Leo thought

"It seems that the person who destroyed your cultivation is not simple, do you know his name?" Li Qiye asked, trying to extract any information about this existence and why was he so desperate to destroy and seal the cultivation of a low-level disciple at best.

"I don't know him, but I'm really thankful for him." Liu said with a smile, although he came here and although he has difficulty training, he got another chance in life, for him even if he died after a few days is better than lying on a hospital bed without strength to do something

"Thank him, why!?" Li Qiye became interested after seeing Liu's sincere expression

"Because he cured me of my illness and gave me a chance to live." Liu said with a smile that tears were falling from his eyes.

"What disease?" Li Qiye asked again

"Sorry, you won't know," Liu said sincerely

"Try me," Li Qiye said. Although he saw Liu's expression and understood that Liu wasn't lying, he thought Liu counted him as an ordinary person and not the Dark Crow, but Liu shook his head and thought, this is a disease of my world you won't understand

"Okay." Li Qiye didn't press the matter, he said as he left, "I will wait for you in three days."

"Wait," Liu called

"What's wrong?" Li Qiye asked

"I've never had a real friend before. Do you want to be my friend?" Liu asked, extending his hand

Li Qiye smiled at Liu and extended his hand to shake hands and said, "Train well, my friend. I don't want to stand on top alone." Then he left with a laugh.

"Congratulations, you have completed the first task. Be a friend of Li Qi."

Reward: Another chance in life

"Second task, make a good impression on Li Qiye on the trip in three days."

Liu looked at the messages and smiled even though he wanted something to help him open his Fate Palace which would open the way for him towards training but another life chance was ok too even though it would be quickly lost due to my current strength, Leo sighed

In fact, another life opportunity is a great thing, but with someone who has no training, it will not work

Liu went to the market and on his way met many people and heard them talking about him

"Look at Nan Huarin two days ago when he went to meet the leaders. I thought he had hacked or learned a technique that concealed his strength but to think that he had lost all his cultivation."

" that's unfortunate "

"What a pity it is that he deserves to rush into training to try to become a core disciple."

What do you mean 'core student'?

"Don't you know that Nan Huarin and his teacher had planned this, but unfortunately this is the result."

Liu heard many people talking about him, some sigh and some gloat...

Liu continued on his way until he reached the market
