Stars fall and locust trees grow

Chapter 111 Qi Luoxing's Memories 3: Burying the Corpses and Gathering the Souls

After Li Jun left, he went directly to the meeting room.

At this moment, sect leader Li Shi was sitting in the main seat in the center waiting for him.

Li Jun had long ago suppressed his crazy emotions and returned to his usual humility.

He bowed his head and respectfully saluted to the person in the upper position, then said calmly: "Jun'er greets the Sect Master!"

"You're back?!" Li Shi stared at him with a pair of gloomy eyes, "You seem to have been gone for a little while."

"Qi Luoxing is too paranoid and cautious, so it will take some time to persuade him."

Li Shi stood up from his chair and slowly walked to Li Jun's side. "Is that idiot Li Chi really dead this time?!"

"Yes." Li Jun lowered his eyes and continued, "Qi Luoxing was extremely sad about this and seemed to have no intention of living."

"However, Jun'er thought that a perfect test subject like him is rare in a century, so in order for the secret technique to proceed smoothly, Jun'er made the decision on her own and promised him a condition."

"Oh?! What conditions?!" Li Shi said as he turned around and put his right hand on Li Jun's shoulder with a forced smile.

Li Jun raised his head and smiled gently, "Help Li Chi gather his soul."

"He said that if the sect is willing to help him, then from now on, he will wholeheartedly obey any arrangements of the sect and be willing to become your greatest work."

"It's not that difficult to help that loser gather his soul." Li Shi's hand on Li Jun's shoulder suddenly changed direction and began to move restlessly towards the other's waist. "But who does he think he is? How dare he negotiate with me?!"

"And you." His expression suddenly became sinister. With just a wave of his left hand, the door of the conference room was suddenly closed, completely isolating the two of them in this empty and dark space.

Li Shi slowly pressed against Li Jun's back, placing one hand on her neck and the other hand on her lower abdomen.

Li Jun clearly felt that the hand on her abdomen was gently caressing her.

Although he was already filled with disgust in his heart, his body remained obedient and did not move.

The person behind him blew air into his ears from time to time, making him shudder.

Then, the hand on his neck suddenly tightened, and a ruthless voice sounded above his head, "Who do you think you are? How dare you make the decision for me?!"

Although he was strangled to the point of being unable to breathe, Li Jun showed no intention of struggling.

He knew Li Shi too well.

Blind struggle and resistance will only result in tougher tactics from the other party. As long as he shows his absolute obedience to him and shows weakness from time to time, it will be easy to arouse this person's perverted desires.

Sure enough, seeing that Li Jun was about to faint, Li Shi suddenly loosened his left hand. As the other party took a deep breath, he stretched out his hand and tore the dark purple sect uniform on him.

Li Jun knew that he had made the right bet.

He smiled and stretched out his arms to wrap around Li Shi's neck, panting and saying, "Li Chi has been dead for three days, maybe his spirit has long been dispersed. If he can be brought back, that would be great. If not, just find a substitute to deal with him."

"After all, being able to keep the experiment going is the most important thing."

The Juyun Sect divides the practice of secret arts into three stages: elementary, intermediate, and advanced.

Since the experiment began, most of the test subjects died in the early stages, and it is almost unprecedented for a disciple like Qi Luoxing to advance all the way.

If Qi Luoxing can really reach the peak and is firmly controlled by the sect, then the foundation of the Juyun Sect can stand for at least another hundred years.

If Qi Luoxing failed halfway, he could also leave them some experience in practicing secret techniques.

So, it’s just a soul gathering, so they won’t lose no matter how they calculate it.

Li Shi raised the corner of his mouth, "Jun'er does have some truth to it."

He stretched out his hands and grabbed Li Jun's waist, turned him over, and pushed him directly against a long table nearby, with a lewd smile on his face.

"Next, let's do something exciting."

(I know you don’t like to watch the rest of the scenes, so I will skip them for you.)

Qi Luoxing didn't know how Li Jun did it.

The other party left for only an hour before returning with Elder Li Shang.

Li Shang stroked his beard and said, "The Sect Master has agreed to your request, so he specially arranged for me to handle this matter."

He looked at Li Chi's body on the couch, concentrated his mind and slowly probed into it, only to find that the other party's soul had not dissipated unexpectedly.

"His spirit has not yet dispersed." Li Shang said, "It's just that we need to choose a suitable place to bury the body, and then use special magic arrays and spells to gather the spirit."

"What kind of place is suitable?!" Qi Luoxing asked.

Li Shang: "There are mountains and trees, a place where yin and yang blend together."

Qi Luoxing rolled his eyes and said, "I know a place that might be suitable."

He held Li Chi in his arms, and Li Shang helped to untie the barrier. The three of them finally arrived at the big locust tree at the foot of Weihua Peak.

"I didn't expect that there is such a quiet and secluded place in the sect." Li Jun was distracted for a moment as he looked at the tree full of locust flowers.

Qi Luoxing felt a little strange.

How come the man who had a crazy look on his face in the morning and said he wanted to destroy the Juyun Sect suddenly had a confused and trance-like expression at this moment?

He really couldn't see through Li Jun, but he also knew how terrifying he was.

After a short pause, he said, "When my cousin and I were in the outer courtyard, we often came here to play."

"If I have to choose a place to bury him, I hope it's here."

Elder Li Shang looked around and said, "This place is indeed nice. Especially this locust tree. Burying its body directly in the ground can calm the soul and nourish the mind."

Qi Luoxing used magic to dig a big hole under the tree and laid some straw mats at the bottom.

Seeing that everything was ready, Li Shang cut a strand of hair from Li Chi's body, and then mixed it with some blood that came from nowhere and burned it into ashes.

Then he took out a wooden box from his storage ring and sprinkled the handful of ashes into it.

The moment Li Shang opened the box, Qi Luoxing first smelled a strange fragrance, followed by a familiar fishy smell.

He looked into the box and saw a piece of yellow talisman paper and a small bone lying inside.

Qi Luoxing knew nothing about talismans, so naturally he had no idea what the reddish-brown pattern on it meant.

As for that piece of bone, it was unprecedented.

Li Jun was very kind and came close to him, and explained in a low voice that only the two of them could hear: "This is a soul gathering technique that has been improved by our ancestors. It can be used even if you don't practice the Yin-Yang Wheel."
