“You mean she’s just in her Immortal Cave?” Changqing asked, a little surprised.
“That’s right, she’s in her own Immortal Cave, she’s been in seclusion for two days, and she’ll probably be back tomorrow,” Luo Hongyan said with certainty.
“Have you been to her Immortal Cave? Are there any secret rooms or hidden passages inside?”
Luo Hongyan shook her head. “She never allows anyone to enter her Immortal Cave.”
“It seems the place where that Blood Arts cultivator is imprisoned is Liu Lu’s Immortal Cave. After she comes out of seclusion, she should go into seclusion for another three days in the cave where the humans are held. I need to take advantage of this time to investigate her Immortal Cave thoroughly.”
“Although it’s risky, it’s definitely worth exploring.”
Changqing raised an eyebrow. “Do you believe my judgment now?”
Luo Hongyan admitted it openly.
“Since you said she needed to cultivate in a place rich in Qi and Blood, but Liu Lu went to her own Immortal Cave and didn’t bring anyone else in to slaughter or sacrifice to create Qi and Blood, there’s only one possibility: her Immortal Cave contains a very powerful Qi and Blood existence, most likely the Blood Arts cultivator you suspect.”
“Although your cultivation is low, your mind is indeed sharp. You’ve impressed me.”
Mentioning cultivation, Changqing felt a bit helpless. To make Liu Lu relax her guard, in this life, he still followed Liu Lu to learn the Hehuan Sect’s Cultivation Technique, and had now reached the Shūhū Second Level Realm.
The trouble of being consumed by lust from time to time still plagued him.
“But how will you leave here and enter her Immortal Cave? This Dan Room has a Restriction set by Liu Lu. If you destroy these snake clusters locking the door, she will immediately sense it.”
“And her Immortal Cave will certainly also have Restrictions. How will you get in without anyone knowing?”
“Don’t worry,” Changqing said, and to Luo Hongyan’s surprise, he pulled off one of the poisonous snakes on the door.
Luo Hongyan was startled, even instinctively turning to look behind her, as if fearing that an enraged Liu Lu would suddenly rush back.
“You’re crazy! Liu Lu will sense that!”
“It’s fine, it’s fine.” Changqing, however, didn’t care. He watched as the poisonous snake on the ground slowly crawled back onto the door and coiled up again, nodding in satisfaction.
He naturally knew Liu Lu could sense it. The reason he was so confident was that he had figured out Liu Lu’s routine and had also “set” rules for Liu Lu.
After this period of exploration, he had discovered that whenever Liu Lu took those excessive drug powders, she would become extremely agitated, lasting for a long time.
He had deliberately tested it several times during this period. After Liu Lu took the medicine, no matter how he manipulated these snake clusters, Liu Lu would not react at all.
Taking medicine on time at midnight and noon was the rule Changqing had “set” for Liu Lu.
It was also the time when Liu Lu would not discover him leaving the Dan Room.
The best part was that after these poisonous snakes were pulled off by him, they would actively crawl back on their own. Liu Lu would not notice anything at all when she returned, which was simply heaven-sent for his escape.
Seeing that Luo Hongyan was about to turn and flee, Changqing quickly called out to her.
“Don’t worry, Liu Lu follows my instructions and takes her medicine at midnight and noon. During this time, her mind is very confused, and she won’t be able to sense these snake clusters.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Hongyan finally stopped, half-believing, half-doubting.
“What kind of medicine is that powerful?”
How could it not be powerful? On Earth, it was a global scourge. Ordinary people who touched even a little would sink into it, losing their minds and destroying their families.
And what Liu Lu consumed was an overdose, a mixed, storm-like inhalation.
Even the most powerful Cultivator would fall victim.
He had to sigh again, learning science, engineering, and mathematics allows you to travel anywhere in the world. This was more than just traveling anywhere in the world; Changqing had more than enough to travel through the Otherworld.
“Don’t worry about what kind of medicine it is, it’s effective. As long as I leave the Dan Room at midnight and noon, and then enter her Immortal Cave at midnight and noon, there will be no problem.”
“Now the difficult part is that I, a man, am too conspicuous walking outside. I need you to cover for me.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Hongyan looked Changqing up and down, her gaze lingering on his face for a moment.
“You’re good-looking. It’s not impossible for you to dress up as a woman and pass for one.”
“No problem.” Changqing agreed without hesitation.
He had not hesitated to even “castrate” himself to avoid being harvested, let alone dressing up as a woman.
“Then it’s settled. After Liu Lu goes into seclusion in the cave where the humans are held, I’ll pick you up at midnight. I’ll also prepare women’s clothes for you by then.”
After Luo Hongyan finalized the plan with Changqing, for safety’s sake, she also hastily left the Dan Room.
After she left, Changqing couldn’t help but feel a little lonely. Unconsciously, Luo Hongyan would always appear in his mind. Ye Qinghe’s every smile and frown gradually overlapped with her figure, causing Changqing’s feelings for Ye Qinghe to unconsciously transfer to her.
The next day, Liu Lu returned to the Dan Room.
As soon as she entered the cave, Liu Lu furiously gripped Changqing’s neck.
“Rebellious Disciple! Are you lying to me?! Cultivating the Soul Exchange and Body Seizure method doesn’t require any Qi and Blood!”
“Cough, cough… Master, I wouldn’t dare to lie to you, Master, please investigate.”
But Liu Lu was completely unmoved, tightening her grip again until Changqing’s eyes rolled back.
But Changqing still didn’t admit that he had lied to Liu Lu.
Even though he already felt death approaching, his heart remained unmoved.
“This old snake must believe it. She’s just suspicious. Maybe that Blood Arts cultivator told her something, but since she could stay in seclusion in the Immortal Cave for three whole days, it means she still trusts my translation more.”
Seeing that Changqing still hadn’t admitted it, Liu Lu released her hand.
Changqing immediately fell to the ground, coughing violently, greedily gasping for air.
“It seems she was trying to trick me…”
Amidst the ringing in his ears caused by suffocation, Changqing heard Liu Lu mutter to herself.
He immediately sneered in his heart. It seemed his guess was correct; that Blood Arts cultivator must have told her something that made her suspicious.
But it was harmless.
Because the inherent flaw of human nature is like this: one always believes what one wants to believe more.
Moreover, frequent drug use had already made her mind increasingly confused.
Liu Lu had waited so many years, and finally someone could help her translate this Possession method. Furthermore, the translator was an insignificant ant, controlled in her palm, so she naturally leaned towards believing herself.
After a brief exchange with Changqing about the “experience” of cultivating in a place rich in Qi and Blood, Liu Lu set off again for the cave where the humans were held, to cultivate in seclusion.
Of course, her so-called “experience” was most likely just hallucinations caused by inhaling those powders.
As for the humans in the cave, since Changqing had said that no one should disturb her during cultivation, Liu Lu would probably move them elsewhere, to another cave to be kept.
After Liu Lu left, another day passed before Luo Hongyan came to the Dan Room with women’s clothing.
...
“Why are your clothes so normal, but mine are so revealing?” Looking at his almost bare-chested clothes, Changqing was a bit speechless.
“All the female demons in this cave are like this. Those dressed normally like me are the minority. If you wear plain clothes, you’ll be very conspicuous.”
Fortunately, the young man’s skin was very fair and delicate, and Changqing was also very thin. If one only looked at his back, he could barely be considered to have some charm.
