Li Feiyu recalled the memories of the original story in his mind.
His ultimate goal was definitely to cultivate immortality.
The Marrow-Extracting Pill would continuously consume his potential and drain his system's Fortune points!
Last month, Han Li had proposed a method to detoxify the poison.
Now, there were two major problems.
First, he lacked a basic cultivation technique for immortality.
Han Li's *Ever Spring Technique* had already reached the fifth layer.
He already knew this nameless formula was extraordinary, and given his personality, he wouldn't spill it even if his own Dao companion came along.
As for seizing it by force, neither of the two Li Feiyus held any ill will toward Han Li.
Following his heart, Li Feiyu would naturally be happy to intercept a beauty, but harming a friend was out of the question.
Besides, since he had already transmigrated, there were plenty of ways to cultivate immortality.
Li Feiyu even felt that with his Fortune in this life, he might stumble upon a rogue cultivator's technique just by digging into a random cave...
So, the cultivation technique could be planned out slowly.
The second major problem was that once the poison was cured, his martial arts would be gone.
Given his current situation, he had offended quite a few people in the Qixuan Sect; without martial arts, someone would definitely get him killed.
The *Blinking Sword Technique* was a collection of lethal secret techniques; once he discarded his internal energy, he could reallocate points and cultivate it anew.
Moreover, it didn't require practicing internal energy and was extremely efficient, making it an excellent choice.
However, he made an estimate.
For a medium-grade martial art like the *Wind and Thunder Blade Technique*, reaching perfection required around 200 points.
For a high-grade internal cultivation method like the *Raging Python Strength*, reaching perfection required around 800 points.
The *Blinking Sword Technique* was an ultimate mastery far surpassing those two martial arts, so reaching perfection should cost well over a thousand points.
Yet he only had 40 points right now!
If he didn't detoxify, that ill omen of a fortune would still deduct 5 points every day.
Of course, the *Blinking Sword Technique* didn't have to be brought to perfection; in the original story, Han Li also only chose a small portion of it.
So, conservatively estimated, cultivating it back to Li Feiyu's current combat strength would still take around 500 points!
40 points versus 500 points—the gap was a bit too large.
A death start indeed!
"Xiao Li...
You told me before about the detoxification method for the Marrow-Extracting Pill, and I want to try it."
Upon hearing this, Han Li tossed his book aside and hurried over.
Li Feiyu watched this, thinking that tossing good things aside so casually was something the future Han Li would certainly never do.
"Senior Brother Li, have you finally figured it out? Nothing in this world is worth overdrawing your lifespan."
This was the difference in personality between Li Feiyu and Han Li.
Li Feiyu was flamboyant, reckless with his life, and openly brazen.
Han Li was cautious, sought longevity, and kept his thoughts deeply hidden.
"Once I disperse my cultivation and retrain from scratch, there might be a period of danger.
I need you to prepare some injury-healing and detoxifying medicine for me to protect myself."
Han Li's Vitality-Nourishing Pill was a miraculous medicine for injuries, and his Clear Spirit Powder was a supreme antidote; in the mortal realm, they were considered divine medicines.
Han Li thought for a moment and said honestly, "Senior Brother Li, let me speak my mind.
The Marrow-Extracting Pill has heavily overdrawn your body, and starting martial arts all over again is extremely difficult.
Therefore, if you detoxify and disperse your cultivation, you will have to leave the Qixuan Sect and be reduced to an ordinary person."
What Li Feiyu had in mind was to first obtain the antidote and these two divine medicines.
Then he would study the system points to see if he could trigger some events to scrape together at least two to three hundred points.
Going into secluded cultivation with Master Yu Dong or Elder Zhang after that should be feasible in the short term.
Ever since the system appeared, that ill-omened fortune had been practically forcing him to detoxify as soon as possible.
No matter what, with the system by his side, the current situation was still far better than the guaranteed death trap of the original body.
Thinking of this, Li Feiyu suddenly saw the light.
"You're wrong, Xiao Li, we are still fellow disciples.
I only need to enter secluded cultivation for a period of time; I don't need to leave the Qixuan Sect."
Seeing Li Feiyu's carefree expression, Han Li instantly grew somewhat anxious.
"If you don't leave, do you have any idea how many people will secretly try to screw you over?
Mediocre people are never envied, but Senior Brother Li, you are no mediocre person."
Li Feiyu saw that Han Li was worried and quickly said, "Xiao Li, I know what I'm doing."
Han Li pondered for a moment and said, "If you aren't going to leave the Qixuan Sect, let your master protect you and just muddle along here.
But if you do that, people you look down upon like Wu Yan, Qian Duoduo, and Zhang Xiuer will step all over your head and ride on your back.
You took the Marrow-Extracting Pill precisely because you were determined to get ahead in life, precisely so you wouldn't be trampled under their feet, isn't that right?
Senior Brother Li, think carefully, and fly far away after you're cured.
Don't tell anyone where you've gone, including me."
Looking at Han Li's anxious expression, Li Feiyu was still deeply moved.
Years later, the tight-lipped and expressionless Han Li was far less interesting and spontaneous than he was now.
[Good fortune struck! Killing and setting fires makes Li Feiyu, revered by millions stands Heavenly Lord Han.
Here is where everything begins. Gained Fortune +200 (Total: 240 points).
Acquired new fortune: Good Fortune · Youthful Bond (Daily +2)]
Fortune didn't just refer to luck; it encompassed the variables of a person's life, and luck was merely one form of fortune.
Fortune increased by 200 points, with an increase of 2 points every day!
Previously distressed by the daily deduction of 5 points, it now seemed there was hope for improving this fortune.
200 points could resolve his immediate crisis, and once detoxified, that ill omen might just disappear.
If the ill omen vanished after detoxification, gaining 2 points every day would serve as a guaranteed baseline income of points.
Realm: Martial Arts Expert (20%)
Age: 15/20
Internal Energy: Raging Python Strength · Proficient (80+/100)
Martial Arts: Wind and Thunder Blade Technique · Perfection
Destiny: Qixuan Sect Master
Fortune: Ill Omen · Marrow-Extracting and Bone-Corroding, etc. (Total -3 daily)
Fortune Points: 240
Now only 3 points of fortune were being deducted every day.
"Xiao Li, thank you for your concern. Just set your mind at ease and prepare the medicine; your older brother knows what he's doing."
Li Feiyu felt inexplicably cheerful, while Han Li still looked somewhat worried.
"Senior Brother Li, if you won't leave the Qixuan Sect, I dare not prepare the medicine for you..."
While Han Li was still stammering, Li Feiyu had already dressed and picked up his saber.
Standing by the tree hollow at the exit, gripping his long saber, he was brimming with heroic spirit!
"Xiao Li! If you don't prepare the medicine for me, I'll come to the entrance of Godly Hand Valley every single day to look for you.
Tomorrow at the hour of Si, I'll come to the entrance of Godly Hand Valley to pick up the medicine, and I won't leave until I get it!"
Cautious old Han was currently plotting in secret against Mo Juren; how could he ever dare let Li Feiyu cause a scene at Godly Hand Valley?
"Fine."
At this moment, standing in the setting sun, Li Feiyu's handsome visage filled Han Li with a deep sense of envy.
"Xiao Li, don't look so downcast.
Our destiny can only be grasped in our own hands; we must never let others control it!"
Han Li's heart skipped a beat. Weren't these the exact words he had used to secretly encourage himself after Mo Juren poisoned him with the Corpse-Worm Pill?
In the setting sun, the dashing and spirited Li Feiyu gazed proudly at the boundless Rosy Clouds Mountain, feeling as if the Great Dao lay beneath his feet and his future was full of promise!
"Splats!"
Rosy Clouds Mountain was home to many birds, and a dollop of bird droppings landed squarely and precisely on the shoulder of the high-spirited Li Feiyu...
[Bad luck! Unforeseen misfortunes happen, Fortune -1 (239 points)]
Li Feiyu's expression instantly froze. A martial arts expert, and yet he couldn't dodge a glob of bird poop!
In just these past few hours, Li Feiyu had experienced drastic ups and downs, his emotions churning wildly.
Under normal circumstances, an expert with sharp eyes and quick ears would have had no trouble dodging bird droppings.
"So much for mastering your own destiny!
You can't even dodge bird poop, yet you dare to challenge the heavens."
As that red-and-white bird dropping slowly seeped into Li Feiyu's shoulder, Han Li had already begun to mock him.
"Xiao Li, this was just an accident.
Since your brother has already decided to disperse his cultivation and start over, we should take turns reading the *Blinking Sword Technique*.
I'll take twenty-five sword manuals with me first, and come back in seven days to swap them with you for the rest."
Han Li couldn't figure out how Li Feiyu intended to retrain, but seven days would be enough for him to memorize the rest.
