234: Fatal Imagination

The moment Li Qi and Feng Xi met, both were stunned, their eyes fixed on each other.

A strange aura permeated the air.

Xiang Zhizhou, standing nearby, also noticed their anomaly and asked, "What? Do you two know each other?"

"No, we don't!"

"No, we don't!"

Li Qi and Feng Xi both said in unison.

Both had a tacit understanding; although they had many questions and wanted to ask each other, neither said much on this occasion.

Feng Xi carefully looked at Li Qi, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, and his heart was once again greatly shaken.

"How is this possible?"

"This Li Qi... seems to have completed another Nirvana?!"

"Did I misread it?"

After accepting the Phoenix Lord's arrangement, Feng Xi immediately rushed over with the golden feather. Before he departed, the Phoenix Lord had made it very clear... that the person had already completed Fourth Nirvana.

It's only been a few days... how could this child have already completed Fifth Nirvana?!

How could it be so fast?!

Isn't that a bit too outrageous?

One must know that even their Phoenix Clan, even those with pure bloodlines like them, cannot complete the leap from Fourth to Fifth Nirvana in such a short time!

Back then, Feng Xi himself spent nearly a hundred years to complete the accumulation for this stage and successfully complete the fifth transformation, so how could this Li Qi be so fast?

Could it be that the Phoenix Lord got the time wrong... that this Li Qi had actually completed Fourth Nirvana a long time ago?

That's even more impossible!

What kind of person is the Phoenix Lord? She would never make such a mistake.

"Feng Xi... take my golden feather and go west. The golden feather will guide you to that outsider."

"Do not harm him; find a way to bring him back."

The Phoenix Lord's words seemed to still echo in his ears, and Feng Xi suddenly realized that perhaps the Phoenix Lord had long ago detected the anomaly existing in this Li Qi.

Moreover, judging from the Phoenix Lord's tone between the lines, her attitude towards this Li Qi was also very gentle; she didn't tell Feng Xi to directly tie him up and even specifically requested that he not be harmed.

Could it be that this Li Qi is actually the illegitimate child of a certain Phoenix Maiden?

This would also explain why Li Qi could learn the Phoenix Clan's Nirvana secret art!

Feng Xi kept imagining various details and guessing the possibilities. He looked at Li Qi with a complex expression, then his demeanor returned to normal.

Finally, Feng Xi stepped forward and said softly.

"Little Brother Li Qi, hello. I am Feng Xi from the Phoenix Clan in the Far East of the Immortal Martial World."

"Regarding the refining of the Congenital Yi Wood Pill... I'll have to trouble you and Island Master Chu."

Alchemy?

Li Qi's eyes widened, and he instantly understood what was happening.

It was probably Island Lord Chu Luowen, the Island Master of Tongxuan Island, who sold him out, telling the Sect Leader that he knew Alchemy. Now they were here to conscript him for labor.

And it just so happened to coincide with a meeting with someone from the Phoenix Clan!

After a huge misunderstanding!

Li Qi also forced a smile: "As for Alchemy... I'll follow Island Master Chu's arrangements."

And Xiang Zhizhou still looked incredulous: "Li Qi, do you really know Alchemy?"

Li Qi smiled helplessly: "Just a little."

Everyone was here, so there was no need to continue hiding. Besides, mere Alchemy was not something too important, so Li Qi admitted it generously.

Everyone was surprised but didn't say anything.

Xiang Zhizhou, on the other hand, felt a sense of relief. This was more like it; Li Qi always managed to do unexpected things, which aligned with his understanding of Li Qi.

Since this matter had been settled, Xiang Zhizhou and the others didn't linger and went to other parts of Four Seas Sect with Feng Xi. As he left, Feng Xi gave Li Qi a meaningful look before departing.

Li Qi remained silent. Although Feng Xi visited Four Seas Sect under the pretense of seeking a Medicinal Pill, Li Qi knew this was just Feng Xi's superficial reason; the other party very likely entered this Four Seas Sect because of him.

"Li Qi, what are you still spacing out for?" Island Lord Chu Luowen said with a smile from beside him.

And Li Qi was speechless: "Island Master Chu... you really got me into trouble."

"Ah? Isn't it just helping to refine a Medicinal Pill? It's not as serious as you make it sound."

Island Lord Chu Luowen didn't know that Li Qi wasn't talking about the Alchemy itself, and Li Qi didn't explain this point.

"I don't know how to refine that Congenital Yi Wood Pill."

But Island Lord Chu Luowen was already prepared: "This is the Pill Formula for the Congenital Yi Wood Pill. Take it and have a look first."

"You only need to assist me; I'll be doing most of the refining."

Li Qi, helpless, took the Pill Formula, and the System's prompt quickly flashed before his eyes.

【Discoverable Pill Formula!】

【Pill Formula being recorded...】

【You have obtained the Pill Formula... Congenital Yi Wood Pill!】

Upon closer inspection, this Pill Formula indeed had some profound aspects. Feng Xi's journey to seek this Medicinal Pill was certainly not in vain.

The Congenital Yi Wood Pill belongs to the Wood element of the Five Elements. Li Qi instantly thought of the Medicinal Pill's purpose. If this Medicinal Pill were used on the Fire Feathered Child in the Burning Inferno World... it would undoubtedly bring considerable benefits!

"Fine, Alchemy it is."

"This Congenital Yi Wood Pill can also be considered a gain for me."

Li Qi shook his head and walked with Island Lord Chu Luowen into the depths of Yuhuo Hall, beginning the refining of the Congenital Yi Wood Pill...
