Myriad Paths

And on Li Qi's side——

Unconsciously, more than ten years have passed.

In the past ten years, Li Qi's record was almost zero.

That's right, Zero, except for some fifth-grade demon kings, I didn't find any fourth-grade demon king at all.

There was no way, decades were too short to hunt down the fourth-grade Demon Lord, and Li Qi had already released the news, which directly caused many Demon Lords to simply evacuate from the City of Dreams.

That's right, we evacuated directly without losing any face.

To them, this doesn't matter at all, it's just to avoid the limelight temporarily. Since Li Qi likes to meddle in other people's business, then let's do it. Anyway, in places like the City of Dreams, magic can be found everywhere in the universe.

Can Li Qiguan come over? Or is it that he is only prepared to rule the world?

If you are only prepared to govern the world, it doesn't matter. It's just treating the symptoms but not the root cause. If you stay in the world for one day, then let you stay for one day. If you want to regulate the city, if you want to be kind, then just do as you like.

Anyway, you can't change the evil thoughts in their hearts. When you leave, everything will return to normal.

It's totally useless and pointless.

So Li Qi didn't even think about occupying this place because he knew it was completely useless.

However, Jing Wuzhen is different.

With Li Qi's help, Jing Wuzhen has been working hard to improve the city's conditions in the past ten years.

In her words: "If you don't treat the symptoms, how can you treat the root cause? You may want to eradicate it, but for me, the appearance here itself is the purpose of my coming here."

Yes, she is not here to cure the root cause. She also knows that she cannot cure the devil. She is here to cure the symptoms. At least in front of her, such a thing should not happen.

It's like, after the tide rises, the fish washed up on the coast by the waves are flopping painfully on the beach. One person picks them up and throws them into the sea, while the other person watches indifferently.

People who watch indifferently think that if they pick up fish today, they will rush up again tomorrow, which cannot solve the problem of tidal force. Picking up a few fish and throwing them back will not help at all.

But the person who picked it up thought that even if it was just one, it was meaningful.

Li Qi had no intention of interfering with this difference in concepts.

So, today too.

Li Qi stood nearby and watched Jing Wuzhen treat people.

They say they are treating people, but in fact they are just distributing medicinal materials and teaching healing methods.

She is a warrior and does not have any skills in treating diseases. However, surprisingly, she is good at some medicines and recuperation methods, ranging from no-level to fifth-level, with corresponding methods for each level.

This is a relatively large ecological warehouse. It originally existed as a landscape mansion, but the original owner escaped and is now used by Jing Wuzhen.

Inside this ecological warehouse is a small World Tree. This rare giant tree can harmoniously coexist with all the lives around it. Even if they are incompatible, they will still grow safely under the shade of the World Tree.

This world tree can catalyze plants and is a very good place to cultivate medicine. It is considered a good magic weapon among the fifth-grade.

It is filled with a variety of plants, trees, and herbs, full of green atmosphere, and the fragrance of various flowers and leaves makes people feel relaxed and happy. Any plant can find a suitable terrain for its survival here.

Right here, Jing Wuzhen is doing her work.

In front of her, there were about a few hundred people standing, each of whom was of fifth grade, queuing up.

"Twenty-fifth floor, right? This is the next batch of medicinal materials. Your last work report said that the industrial zone over there exploded because of the manipulation of the group of people who evacuated before?"

"Yes..." replied a humanoid creature. He was obviously a fifth-grade creature, but he was somewhat disabled. His knees were inward and slightly concave backward at the same time. His feet were splayed. The joints were deformed and thick, and his spine tended to move forward or backward. Curved sideways.

Obviously, this is the root of the disease that fell in the past.

"I have prepared a little more for you this time, so be careful. Also, give me a report on the healing methods and learning progress that I have been given, and make statistics on the work of the people below you. I hope it can be popularized within this year. "Jing Wuzhen said, then handed the other party a mustard bag, and then waved: "Next."

The next person came up.

Jing Wuzhen began to tell the other party about the situation the other party encountered, what to do, how to improve it in the future, and then move on to the next one.

This lasted for about two days in total, and it took several hundred people to finish it all.

There are hundreds of people, all of whom are fifth grade. In fact, they are all local snakes here.

Don't look at them being shy here in Jing Wuzhen, but in fact

By getting rid of these local snakes, Jing Wuzhen gathered their power, and then used them to unite other forces, and finally spread his plan to the lowest level.

The idea is good, and the execution seems to be very similar, but...

"Is it useful?" At this time, Li Qi asked.

Then, he continued: "You should have noticed, looking at the looks of these people, this is definitely not the first time they have received such help."

"There are many people who have done this before you and me, but they have not made any difference to this city."

"You are trying in vain." Li Qi said.

However, Jing Wuzhen compiled many reports without looking back, and then said: "When I was at the eighth level, I practiced boxing ten thousand times a day and swung my sword thirty thousand times. Looking at each time alone, I was in vain, but combined Get up and help me lay the foundation of the seventh level."

There are a lot of reports. After all, they are reports related to trillions of people. Even if they are very brief, the total amount is still a very scary number.

But for the fourth grade, it is still acceptable. After all, it is very simple. Most of them are expressed in percentages. You only need to understand an overview.

Soon, she finished processing these reports, understood the general situation below, and then handed Li Qi a bookish tone: "Then, I'll bother you, I won't make any calculations."

Li Qi nodded and accepted the bookish gift from her.

There is a 'conclusion' here, and as a shaman, he is good at divination, so he can divine whether this conclusion is reliable.

This was a trivial matter for Li Qi, and he got the answer almost instantly, so Li Qi said: "It's generally reliable. The bone correction method you gave me is very useful."

"It must be useful." Jing Wuzhen said.

Martial arts practice requires hard work, but hardship must be endured, and recuperation is also essential, otherwise you will lose yourself in practice.

That's why she has mastered so many treatments and prescriptions.

After receiving Li Qi's reply, she walked to the World Tree again, bit her finger, and gave a drop of blood to the precious tree.

The treasure tree received blood, and its life breath expanded instantly, and many plants nearby entered a state of stimulating growth.

This is the source of those medicines just now, which will later be made into potions, diluted, and finally distributed to everyone below.

Although Jing Wuzhen, as a warrior, does not know how to cultivate herbal medicines, the power of fourth-grade blood essence and blood, even just one drop, can produce a large number of these medicinal herbs. Although this will make the medicinal properties a bit violent and untamable, and produce many side effects, it is still better than nothing. .

Li Qi has already experienced the effects of these medicines and recuperation methods.

When they arrived a decade ago, the industrial area was filled with deformities.

There are a large number of deformed people, and the reason why these people are deformed is entirely due to long working hours. The most common deformity is the curvature of the spine and legs, and even worse ones can be found everywhere, and some even transform the human body into a servitor puppet.

If nothing else, these diseases are caused by overwork.

The long hours of labor have made these great men, who are the pride of heaven...at least the pride of heaven in their own world, stooped one after another, or their bodies, which have been weakened by the harsh environment, are unable to withstand such intense labor. They all have various injuries more or less.

Various deformities and diseases are very common. The knees bend inward, the ligaments on the joints are often loose and lack elasticity, and various bones are bent. The thick ends of these long bones are particularly curved and overdeveloped. These patients all come from Assembly lines that work too long.

Some of these injuries were even extremely serious, and they were still there at the fifth level, becoming part of his physical characteristics, just like the Demon Prince's lameness.

Just like the fifth-level controller on the twenty-fifth floor just now.

He can no longer walk up stairs due to his physical deformity. His spine and pelvis are deformed.

Excessive labor also caused other deformities, especially lameness and the like.

Even someone like him who has the qualifications and talent to advance to the fifth level is like this. You can imagine what the new young people will encounter. They have no talent, strong bodies, better skills, environment and other conditions. It was completely impossible to endure this kind of torture-like workload.

Besides, even if there is... the fifth-grade controller is also a leader, he will still inevitably suffer from back pain, waist pain, leg pain, swollen joints, large stubborn ulcers on the thighs and calves, and eventually develop into deformities.

These are all old wounds, engraved in the inner world, and it is difficult to treat them, unless they are treasures similar to Emperor's Liquid.

All of these are almost common phenomena among the lower levels of the ‘City of Dreams’.

Of course, it’s only limited to the bottom layer.

After breaking through the eighth level and reaching the seventh level, you will be much more "respectable", and it is not impossible to grow to the level of a "controller" at a certain level.

For example, the beautiful ecological warehouse in front of you is supported by the fifth-grade World Tree. Outside is an industrial park where sewage flows and the smell is overflowing. It is not an exaggeration to say that this ecological warehouse is a 'paradise'.

This is what high-quality beings enjoy in this dream city.

The seventh-grade people are actually quite respectable, and the sixth-grade people are enough to leave this place and return to the outside world. The fifth-grade people can even become the controller of a certain level and become the one who oppresses others.

Although everyone will be suppressed by the fourth-level demon kings, if they stay in the world and oppress countless people, it is obvious that the efficiency of accumulating resources is much higher than outside the territory. Therefore, they do not necessarily have to leave here after they get ahead.

To put it bluntly, "Tao" is the law of the world. They naturally joined the "Tao" here, so they didn't want to leave.

Li Qi knew these things in his heart and had been observing them for ten years.

So, at this time, he suddenly said to Jing Wuzhen: "Even if you know it's useless, you still have to do it...well, you really have the demeanor of a warrior."

A warrior is just a reckless person. If he succeeds, he will be fierce and brave. If he fails, he will be a brainless and reckless man.

Jing Wuzhen looked at Li Qi and said, "Finally decided to help? Don't you still have plans to be busy? Although I don't know what you are busy with."

"It can't be said that I am busy. At this stage, deduction is still the main thing, but what should I say...infected by you? It is very troublesome for you as a warrior to do these things, so let me help." Li Qi said , walked towards Jing Wuzhen: "It's such a waste to use your essence and blood like this. I have a method that can blunt the violent inner energy in it. It can increase the effect of your essence and blood twenty times, and it can also eliminate the effects of the medicine." The violent spirit."

As Li Qi spoke, he used the Taoist method to draw back the essence and blood that had just dripped, and transported it with the energy of chaos using Taoist methods.

The inner Qi of martial arts is itself the product of all Qi entering the "riot and disorder" stage, and is a degraded version of the Qi of Chaos.

It is said that Tai Chi has not been judged, and the three talents of heaven, earth and man are contained in it, which is called chaos.

The clouds of chaos mean that heaven, earth and humans are muddy but undifferentiated. Tai Chi has judged that the light and clear ones are heaven, the heavy turbid ones are earth, the clear and turbid ones are human beings, the light and clear ones are qi, and the heavy turbid ones are shape and qi. The combination is human.

The people here do not refer to the 'human race', but all 'observers' with high intelligence and subjective consciousness.

Therefore, all the qi that appears in the sky are all natural principles in Tai Chi. They are transported into the sun and the moon, divided into five stars, arranged into the twenty-eight constellations, and guarded into the dipper, all of them are there.

The Taoist method transforms these chaotic energies into three talents, and then differentiates them into all things, and then uses this to separate the essence and blood, turn them into various kinds of qi, and cast them into the body of the world tree accordingly.

Li Qi tapped with one hand, and tens of thousands of silk threads came out of the essence and blood, and then pierced into the World Tree. Each thread corresponded to a different kind of Qi. The split essence and blood and the huge vitality in it transformed the world. The tree immediately came to life.

What a thing like the World Tree needs most is balance, and as a Zhuren, Li Qi is especially good at this method.

However, seeing Li Qi's methods, Jing Wuzhen was a little angry. He rubbed his head and said, "You have such methods, but you watched me make a fool of myself before?"

"It's not that I'm making a fool of myself, it's just that I haven't decided whether to help. After all, in my opinion, everything I do now is useless." Li Qi replied.

"Even if you saw those people getting better with your own eyes, you still think it was useless?" Jing Wuzhen asked.

"So what if it gets better or worse?" Li Qi asked back: "I only need to decide the future, and I can easily change the life they experience. They are all illusions, good or bad is just a matter of a thought."

"According to your theory, why is that human witch still fighting? Why do you want to save your daughter? Isn't it all nonsense?" Jing Wuzhen said sarcastically.

However, these words suddenly made Li Qi's eyes widen.

Yes, why?
