Taichu Yandao: Starting from the Villain

A powerful palm strike hit Li Wujiu's chest, sending him flying more than ten feet away, with half of his body falling into the water.

Li Wujiu choked on blood and was about to faint, but the lake water stimulated him and he managed to stay awake.

Through his blurry eyes, he saw Blue Lily fall backwards and fall heavily to the ground.

A smile formed on his lips, but it quickly died.

In the distance, Gu Yanjun came running over and saw Lan Baihe lying on the ground. She immediately fell to the ground, hugged her and said:

"Sister Lan, what's wrong with you? Speak!"

She called out, desperately sending her magic power into Blue Lily's body, but the other party remained motionless.

She looked at Li Wujiu who was not far away, her eyes full of murderous intent, and shouted angrily:

"Li Wujiu, what did you do to her?"

"So it's her you really like. Are you going to kill me too?" Li Wujiu felt hopeless. He pushed with all his last bit of strength and swam his whole body into the lake.

Gu Yanjun was horrified and ran to the lake in a hurry, but all she was left with was the aftermath of the splashes.

Above the weak water, nothing floats.

Dark, cold, everything was falling towards nothingness.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Wujiu faintly heard a whispered call:

"No problem, it will all pass..."

"Little brother, if you meet a girl you like, you must not be too proactive..."

"Wu Jiu, when you grow up and marry someone else, you will forget your parents. It's okay if you forget your father, but you must not forget your mother. You must remember to send your mother up the mountain!"

In a daze, Li Wujiu seemed to hear the voice of Lady Yan. He wanted to find the source of the voice, but could not find it.

Suddenly, a cool feeling flowed through the body, and after wandering around the body, it immediately turned into warmth, making people feel extremely comfortable.

Li Wujiu opened his mouth to breathe and immediately choked on a large mouthful of water. He opened his eyes and found himself at the bottom of the lake.

Beside his hand, there was a light blue lotus, emitting a bright blue light, dazzling and brilliant.

"Did it save me?" Li Wujiu thought to himself.

He opened his arms and tried to swim upwards, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not float even a little bit.

Soon, the feeling of suffocation came again, and Li Wujiu hurriedly grabbed the lotus.

A cool feeling came from the fingertips, traveled around the body, and immediately took away the fatal feeling of suffocation.

At the same time, Li Wujiu discovered that the magic power in his body had also grown stronger, and the effect was more obvious than that of practicing for more than a month.

"This is... the legendary treasure from heaven and earth!" Li Wujiu was overjoyed. He was no longer in a hurry to leave, but sat down cross-legged and began to recover from his injuries.

A day later, Li Wujiu's injuries were completely healed. He looked up and tried to swim upwards again.

He originally thought that it was because of his previous injury, but now even though his injuries had fully recovered, he was still unable to leave the bottom of the lake.

"Am I going to be trapped to death here?" Li Wujiu pondered for a long time but couldn't come up with any solution. He just touched the lotus every once in a while to ensure that he would not suffocate to death.

Only the top of the lake could be vaguely seen from the dark bottom of the lake. Li Wujiu looked at the alternation of the sun and the moon above his head, and became more and more anxious.

Three days later.

The sunlight shining on the lake made the bottom of the lake seem to be a little warm. Li Wujiu looked at the sunlight and knew that a new day had begun.

He sighed, reached out to touch the lotus again, and thought:

"I seem to be absorbing the medicinal power of this lotus, but I am just turning into a better fertilizer! There is not a single fish in this lake. Are they all dying like me..."

Li Wujiu was just sighing with emotion when suddenly a sense of clarity flowed through his body. From his dantian, a more refined magical power surged out, circulating through his body at a faster speed.

"This is... I won't be able to break through the sixth level of Qi training!" Li Wujiu couldn't believe it, and immediately looked inward with his spiritual sense to observe.

After a while, Li Wujiu opened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

Except for the time when he drank bile, that breakthrough was not achieved without great hardships. He had to squeeze his body to the limit before he could break free from the shackles and complete the transformation of magic power.

Li Wujiu looked inward again, and after seeing the majestic magical power again, he was sure that he was not dreaming and everything was real.

"If it's that fast, I can directly cultivate to the great perfection of Qi training. Why would I still be afraid that I can't swim up?" Li Wujiu was full of confidence. He put his hand on the lotus and absorbed it frantically.

Seven days later.

The calm Ruoshui Lake suddenly began to ripple, creating layers of ripples.

Deep in the lake, Li Wujiu opened his mouth and was about to roar, but the lake water rushed in and forced him to close his mouth.

Li Wujiu choked on a big mouthful of water, but he was extremely happy in his heart. He touched it with his hand, and the soft skin immediately fell off, revealing the white and tender skin underneath.

During the practice, all breakthroughs in small realms will have the effect of cleansing the tendons and marrow, which means that the body is sublimated and more suitable for practice.

Li Wujiu shook his body vigorously, and immediately his body shed its skin, with countless flakes of skin sinking to the bottom of the lake.

But when he touched his face, his expression suddenly changed:

"Fuck... I've been in the sun for so long, I won't change back!"

It took Li Wujiu a while to accept the fact. He stretched out his hand somewhat dejectedly and placed it on the lotus again.

Just as he was about to continue practicing, he discovered that the blue lotus was no longer shining brightly and had lost its previous brilliance.

After some observation, he quickly discovered the reason. Two of the five originally dazzling lotus seeds on the lotus pod had gone out, and no one knew where they had gone.

Li Wujiu suddenly realized and thought to himself:

"I have broken through two realms, so there will be two fewer lotus seeds. This way, I can practice to the great perfection of Qi training."

Li Wujiu did not hesitate. He grabbed the lotus pod and began to absorb it madly again.

Three days later.

While Li Wujiu was resting, he accidentally glanced at the lotus pod.

It would be fine if you didn't look at it, but when you did, you'd be shocked. Inside the lotus pod, there was a lotus seed that was dark and dim, and it looked like it was about to disappear completely.

"How is this possible! I have just consolidated the realm of the seventh level of Qi training." Li Wujiu observed for a long time and had to accept the fact that these three lotus seeds could not allow him to practice Qi training to the great perfection. Perhaps he could only practice Qi training to the eighth level at most.

Li Wujiu frowned and tried to swim upwards, but the situation was the same as before, with no change.

"If this is the case, even if I break through the eighth level of Qi training, I'm afraid I still won't be able to swim up." Li Wujiu was depressed, looking at the lotus pod and thinking: "If this lotus pod can move, I can walk step by step from the bottom of the lake to the shore."

In an instant, as if chaos had just begun to emerge, Li Wujiu's heart trembled, and he immediately grabbed a lotus seed from the lotus pod to verify his idea.

He took the lotus seed, walked a dozen steps, and then tried to touch it. Immediately, a refreshing coolness flowed through his body.

"Hahaha... Li Wujiu, you are such an idiot!"
