"It's a three-year agreement." Emperor Li nodded, "However, it's not to lend you your body and identity, but to hide you, listen to my orders, and protect my way."
"The time limit is not three months, but three years."
Li Ziyin frowned when he heard this.
Although Li Ziyin respected Li Ziming and didn't want his senior brother to know that he had become a demon cultivator, he still put his own cultivation first.
If he was just to be a protector for three months, he would agree to it. But in three years, the price had increased by more than ten times, which made Li Ziyin instinctively resist.
He couldn't help but weigh in his mind, which was more important, three years of silent cultivation, or not letting his senior brother be disappointed in him.
Fortunately, Emperor Li was not a stingy person. After a pause, he immediately continued: "As long as Ziyin protects the Tao as promised, not only will I not ask your senior brother to reveal the truth, but when the three years are up, I will also give you another treasure. Repair your foundation."
"I think as long as the foundation is repaired, even if you don't rely on the Ten Thousand Infants Elixir, Ziyin you can try to break through the realm and build the foundation."
Li Ziyin, who was frowning just now, suddenly raised his eyebrows.
The reason why he joined the Huagui Pavilion was precisely because his foundation was damaged, and it would be difficult for him to make any further progress until he reached the level of metamorphosis, and he had never been able to find a way to completely repair his damaged foundation.
If the mysterious man can repair his foundation, he will not be unable to accept it even if the Infant Pill technique becomes useless.
At this moment, Li Ziyin had the same feeling as Nan Junyue before. They both felt that the conditions given by Li Huang completely spoke to their hearts.
It can only be said that Lihuang, as a reborn person, is really too familiar with Huagui Pavilion Qisu.
Li Ziyin looked deeply at Emperor Li, and finally said quietly: "If this is the case, I will follow your words and protect your way for three years."
After finishing speaking, Li Ziyin directly stamped his spiritual consciousness into the "Gentleman's Form" and waited for Emperor Li to complete the terms of the contract.
Because Li Ziyin had the power to break the contract at any time, Li Huang did not make a fuss about the terms of the contract, and directly concluded a simple and clear contract in a grand manner.
A gentleman can deceive others.
In Huagui Pavilion Qisu, although Li Ziyin is not a gentleman, he is the most persuasive. As long as the request is not too excessive, Li Ziyin will agree to move out his senior brother Li Ziming, and it can provide real benefits to help his practice.
At this point, except for Mingluan who was dealt with by Rong Hou, the remaining monks in Huagui Pavilion can be considered to have been subdued by Emperor Li in name.
But without Kong Qian and Lin Du, Li Huang instinctively felt a little sad.
The plan that was prepared a lifetime in advance, but Nan Yi was released due to a single thought, forced him to act hastily and failed to achieve full success.
Not only would Nan Junyue, Li Ziyin and even Mingluan make concessions, but Kong Qian and Lin Du would also be compromised. Although Emperor Li was not sure about Lin Du's life or death, even if Lin Du was not dead, he would still be affected. Even if he is seriously injured, he will never return to the capital, but will flee and hide somewhere else.
As far as Emperor Li was concerned, Lin Du who did not return to the capital was as good as dead.
After all the painstaking planning almost failed, Emperor Li felt sad and thought of his experiences in his previous life.
In the previous life, after Lihuang was mentally prepared to use the natal magical power of Spring Autumn Cicada, he joined the Huagui Pavilion, used the various blood pills to awaken his natural magical powers, and then entered Taoism to practice.
Because the elixir requires specific birth dates, Lihuang easily knew the birth dates of several other people. Then he discovered that his and Nan Junyue's birth dates were extremely similar. Among the four pillars of year, month, day and hour, only the hour pillar was slightly different. .
Although this deviation prevented him from using Nan Junyue's Ten Thousand Infants Elixir to reach the upper level of the Mysterious Level unharmed, he was still able to advance to the Mysterious Level after taking it, and then exploded to death.
So in the last life, on the day when Nan Junyue's Ten Thousand Infants Spiritual Pill was ready, Emperor Li actually snatched the food from the tiger's mouth. He killed Nan Junyue and unintentionally killed Nan Junyue and took away his Ten Thousand Infants Spiritual Pill.
——Because the birth dates are not exactly the same, even if Lihuang takes the elixir and takes it, he will eventually die suddenly. Logically speaking, he should not take the elixir, so Nan Junyue did not expect that Lihuang would do this.
Emperor Li took the Ten Thousand Infants Spirit Pill, but did not take it immediately. Instead, he deliberately waited until the forty-fifth year of the Apocalypse, when the situation completely collapsed, and saw that the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms were about to attack the Lijing City before he took the Ten Thousand Infant Spirit Pills. Dan, forcibly advanced to the Xuan level, and before he exploded and died, he activated the Spring Autumn Cicada's natal magical power and was reborn for another life.
In Lihuang's eyes, the last life was just for simulating cultivation and collecting as many secrets as possible that would be helpful in planning after rebirth.
Therefore, he colluded with Huagui Pavilion and allowed the demonic cultivation methods such as Wanying Lingdan to go unchecked. In the end, he lost the support of the people and even attracted the three kingdoms of Kanzhendui to join forces to attack.
However, after rebirth, Lihuang has been hesitant about whether to take the various life-blood pills; but he will never mess with the Ten Thousand Infants Spiritual Pill, and will tell them all to stop after conquering Huagui Pavilion Qisu.
After all, ordinary demon cultivators might not be targeted, but if Emperor Li became a demon cultivator, it would only give the other three dynasties an excuse to join forces and send troops to separate the dynasty.
Emperor Li just wanted to enter Taoism and practice Taoism and gain the chance of immortality, but he did not want to become the public enemy of the world.
Therefore, in this life, Emperor Li only planned to take the monks from Huagui Pavilion as coolies under his command, but he would not let himself become a demon cultivator again.
Furthermore, as Nan Yi's performance became more and more impressive, Li Huang now had some thoughts that he might be able to rely on Zhenqi Martial Arts to enter Taoism.
However, this may not be possible. In order to be on the safe side, Emperor Li had no choice but to take down the Huagui Pavilion first, leaving it as a safe retreat.
But now, with only Mingluan missing, Li Huang had nominally convinced the remaining five monks of Huagui Pavilion.
He asked Li Ziyin to follow him and rushed back to Zhongli's house with his fake identity.
On the way, Li Huang revealed his identity as Li Huang to Li Ziyin.
Except for Nan Junyue, who Li Huang was not prepared to tell for the time being, Li Huang did not mind revealing his identity to the others.
After all, the identity of Li Huang and a reborn person can make others more convinced.
After learning that the mysterious person was Queen Li, Li Ziyin was quite surprised. He really didn't expect that the mysterious man was actually the current Lihuang Emperor Tianqi who was originally planned by Huagui Pavilion.
Li Ziyin was inevitably a little curious about the "previous life" experience of Prophet Li, and couldn't help but wonder, what would be the end of Huagui Pavilion in the "previous life"?
His instinct told him that it wouldn't be good.
But after all, it was something without memory and reality, so Li Ziyin didn't really care. As long as Emperor Li could really repair his foundation in this life, Li Ziyin didn't care about other trivial matters.
All this time, Li Ziyin has been traveling in the name of finding a way to repair his foundation. Including cultivating to reach the perfection of transformation, he also said that his foundation has been repaired, and he has gone from being stuck in the transformation to perfection to being stuck in the perfection of transformation.
In other words, Li Ziyin actually deceived his senior brother for many years.
If Emperor Li could really provide a treasure that could completely repair his foundation, Li Ziyin felt that it would at least be able to implement what he had been saying all along.
Wei Yuanzhao's revelation of his identity as emperor made Li Ziyin truly believe that he could provide suitable treasures, and his instinctive rejection of protecting him weakened a bit.
At this time, Lihuang had returned to the previous house again and met Mingluan again.
"Ming Luan, after thinking about it for so long, you can tell me what you want to say."
Lihuang asked Hu Qian to use the "Thousand Faces" magical power, get rid of Li Ziming's iceberg-like cold face, put on a faint smile and asked.
Mingluan, on the other hand, looked at Li Ziyin behind Huang Li and was greatly surprised.
It was just that she and Zhong Li were alone and were restrained. How could Li Ziyin and Nan Junyue be restrained when they stayed together in Huagui Pavilion?
Ming Luan didn't know that Li Ziyin made the three-year contract based on his "gentleman status", but he only knew that Li Ziyin also signed a contract of betrayal and sold himself to Emperor Li.
She was surprised in her heart: Even Li Ziyin could be subdued, but Li Huang, relying on the prophet of rebirth, was so terrifying?
Mingluan suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
However, she still gritted her teeth: "I'm willing to use any tricks, but there's no way I'm going to sign a renouncement contract."
Surrendering yourself to death is like cutting off your path, and life is worse than death.
From Yu Mingluan's point of view, it was better to bet that Emperor Li would not seriously kill her than to die.
It is true that Li Huang will not kill Mingluan.
If it was simply to increase the fighting power of his subordinates, Lihuang could also use another method to make Mingluan into a puppet.
But Mingluan cultivated the way of bewitchment, and his combat power was not strong. He lost his mind when he was made a puppet, and he was basically useless. Moreover, what Li Huang likes about Mingluan is his ability to grasp people's hearts and secretly seduce him.
It's just that Mingluan is good at this, but it's hard to deceive and intimidate him.
Emperor Li looked down at Mingluan with a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of coldness.
Seeing that Mingluan's eyes were firm and refused to yield, Lihuang had no choice but to use force.
He took out the secret guard order, threw it to Hu Qianque, and then ordered in front of Mingluan: "Change into Nan Junyue's appearance, hold the secret guard order and rush to the Crime Investigation Department, and ask for the "Reformation Knife". Clear the karma on Mingluan’s body. "
"After Mingluan changes his mind, he will be brought back. Zhongli will use his magical powers to control Mingluan and sign a contract of betrayal."
As a secret guard, he only recognizes the token. If you hold the secret guard order, you will be a secret guard, and you will have the magical power "Hidden Walking in Brocade Clothes" to eliminate the sense of presence.
As for the "Reformation Knife", it is a low-grade Mystic-level weapon that exists as a torture tool in the Crime Investigation Department. It can use other people's karma as a knife to cut off their souls.
The price of this sword is that it needs to be used once a month to kill a person as a sacrifice to the sword.
It doesn't seem to be a very serious price, but after a long time, it is not enough for the Criminal Investigation Department to arrest the demon cultivators imprisoned, even if they kill them again every once in a while.
Occasionally there is no suitable demonic cultivator to offer sacrifices to swords, and one can only find some of the own monks with weak karma to offer sacrifices to swords.
Therefore, if Hu Qianque offered Mingluan as a sacrificial knife, not only would the Crime Investigation Department not refuse, but he would also express his welcome to come again next time.
When Mingluan's soul was in perfect harmony, because he was good at bewitching and his own soul had strong resistance, even if Zhongli used his magical power of charm, it would be extremely difficult to control it.
But after using the "Reforming Knife" to slash his soul and severely damage Mingluan's soul, Zhongli can be charming and control Mingluan to sign a contract of betrayal.
Although Mingluan's soul was seriously injured and needed to recover for a while, Lihuang could wait - after all, if Mingluan really kept dragging his feet and refused to sign the contract of betrayal, he would not be able to provide much help to Lihuang in the short term. It would be better to try to let Lihuang After signing the contract of sale, she slowly recovered from her injuries.
When Mingluan heard this, he immediately gritted his teeth and looked at Li Huang, and said angrily: "That's cruel enough."
Li Huang didn't take it seriously.
He deliberately said in front of Mingluan that as long as Mingluan refused to submit, he would probably cripple Mingluan first and then forcibly take him under his command.
Anyway, all he wanted was for Mingluan to work for him, but he didn't need Mingluan to return home.
As long as the deed of betrayal is signed in the end, it doesn't matter whether Mingluan comes from his true heart.
At this time, Hu Qian had already transformed into Nan Junyue, pretending to take Mingluan out.
Seeing this, Mingluan finally succumbed to Li Huangyang's plan and said sadly and angrily: "No need, I will sign it."
After signing the deed of betrayal, one can hope that Emperor Li will be kind in the future and release the deed of betrayal when they are no longer needed.
But for the "Reforming Knife" to strike with a single blow, severely damaging the soul and damaging the foundation, there is no need to even hope for it.
——Ordinary monks with little karma on their bodies would not be bothered by a slash. However, Mingluan had collected Ying Dan materials and had deep karma, so he really couldn't bear to be slashed by the "Reformation Sword".
Lihuang still had a faint smile on his face, shook his hands and unfolded the "Deed of Sale", asking Mingluan to leave his name on it and imprint his divine consciousness on it.
After Mingluan finished signing, Li Huang looked around and glanced at Li Ziyin, Hu Qianque, Zhongli and Mingluan.
From now on, he is the real master behind the Huagui Pavilion.
"First of all, the matter of the Ying Dan is over, and all the materials for the Ying Dan are also disposed of. Pure Yin and Pure Yang strange pills cannot be refined anymore. The existing blood pills cannot be refined again after they are sealed."
"Then, don't get involved in the matter of selecting the concubine. Everyone, including Zhongli, will stay in Huagui Pavilion to see if Nan Yi will test you."
"Kong Qian is dead now, and Nan Yi is on his way back. If he comes back, he will probably have contact with Huagui Pavilion."
"At that time, I will have a meeting with Nan Yi as the master of Huagui Pavilion."
Li Huang could vaguely sense the location of the "Ring of Immortality" and then knew that Nan Yi was on his way back to Li Capital.
As for Lin Du, Emperor Li was not sure whether Lin Du was dead. However, if Lin Du returns to Huagui Pavilion later, he will become an unsolicited dish and will be captured easily.
Therefore, Emperor Li didn't take Lin Du seriously. He just wanted to hide behind the scenes, meet Nan Yi for a while, and then see if he could get a zhenqi method from Nan Yi and become a source warrior.
In fact, Emperor Li was not low-spirited. Even if he became a Yuan warrior, he would feel very uncomfortable with Nan Yi, the leader of Yiwu, at his head.
But Li Huang can bend and stretch.
In the last life, Emperor Li was able to collude with Huagui Pavilion. Regardless of the loss of the people's support and the criticism of the world, he only sought to enter Taoism and practice with the various life-blood elixirs.
In this life, he can naturally succumb to Nan Yi.
As long as he can enter the Taoist practice with Zhenqi Martial Arts and collect enough information about Nan Yi, Lihuang will naturally be able to make better preparations in his next life.
Yes, in Lihuang's eyes, this life is still for him to find a better way to enter Taoism and practice.
Although after rebirth, when he was reborn as a mortal, Li Huang did not have Spring Autumn Cicada with him.
But the method of sacrificing and refining the natal Gu is in his mind, and the Spring and Autumn Cicada is in the Great Li Secret Vault. As long as Emperor Li successfully enters the Taoism, he can sacrifice the Spring and Autumn Cicada into the natal Gu again, and regain the natal magical power "Spring and Autumn" for a new life. Big dream".
Therefore, even if Nan Yi was the dark horse, Li Huang was still unfazed. After hastily subduing several monks from Huagui Pavilion, he only wanted to test Nan Yi secretly and make better preparations for the next life.
And this is Li Huang's simulated path to immortality.
