Chapter 842: Delusion

And on Li Qi's side——

Unconsciously, more than ten years have passed.

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

That's right, zero. Except for some fifth-grade demons, no fourth-grade demon kings have been found.

There is no way. To hunt fourth-grade demon kings, decades are too short. Moreover, Li Qi has already released the news, which directly led to many demon kings evacuating from the Dream City.

That's right, they evacuated directly without any face.

For them, it doesn't matter at all, but just to avoid the limelight temporarily. Since Li Qi likes to meddle in other people's business, then let him do it. Anyway, there are places like the Dream City, and the magic path is everywhere in the universe.

Can Li Qi manage it? Or is he only going to manage the world?

If he is only going to manage the world, it doesn't matter. It's just a temporary solution. If you stay in the world for one day, you will be allowed to stay for one day. If you want to clean up this city and be kind, then you can do whatever you want.

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

It's totally useless and meaningless.

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

However, Jing Wuzhen was different.

With Li Qi's help, Jing Wuzhen has been committed to improving the situation of the city in the past ten years.

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

Yes, she didn't come here to cure the root cause. She also knew that she couldn't cure the magic way. She just wanted to cure the symptoms. At least in front of her, such a thing shouldn't happen.

It's like, after the tide rose, the fish washed up to the coast by the waves thrashed painfully on the beach. One person picked them up and threw them into the sea, and the other person watched coldly.

The person who watched coldly thought that if they picked up the fish today, they would come up again tomorrow, and the problem of tidal force could not be solved. Picking up a few fish and throwing them back would be completely useless.

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

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

So, it was the same today.

Li Qi stood by and watched Jing Wuzhen treat people.

She said she was treating people, but in fact, she was just distributing medicinal materials and teaching treatment methods.

She was a warrior and did not have any skills in treating diseases. However, surprisingly, she was good at some medicines and treatment methods. From the lowest level to the fifth level, there were corresponding methods for each level.

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

Inside this ecological warehouse was a small world tree. This rare giant tree could make all the lives around it live in harmony. Even if they were incompatible, they would still grow safely under the shade of the world tree.

This world tree could catalyze plants and was a good place to cultivate medicines. It was considered a good magic weapon among the fifth level.

It was full of various plants, trees, and herbs, full of green breath. The fragrance of various flowers and leaves was refreshing. Any plant could find a terrain suitable for its survival here.

Right here, Jing Wuzhen was doing her work.

In front of her, there were about a few hundred people, all of whom were Grade 5, queuing up.

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

"Yes..." a humanoid creature answered. He was obviously Grade 5, but he was a little disabled. His knees were slightly concave inward and backward, his feet were in a splayed position, his joints were deformed and thick, and his spine often bent forward or to the side.

Obviously, this was the root cause of the disease in the past.

"I prepared a little more for you this time. Be careful. Also, report to me on the progress of the treatment method you sent down, and count the work of your subordinates. I hope it can be popularized within this year." Jing Wuzhen said, then handed the other party a mustard bag, and then waved his hand: "Next."

The next person followed.

Jing Wuzhen began to tell the other party about the situation he encountered, what to do, how to improve it later, and then the next one.

This lasted for about two days, and all these hundreds of people were dealt with.

These hundreds of people, all of them were fifth-grade, and they were actually the "local snakes" here.

Although they were timid in front of Jing Wuzhen, in fact

Jing Wuzhen gathered the power of these local snakes by dealing with them, and then united other forces through them, and finally popularized his plan to be implemented to the lowest level.

The idea is good, and it seems to be done, but...

"Is it useful?" Li Qi asked at this time.

Then, he continued: "You should have seen it, looking at these people, it is definitely not the first time they have accepted such help."

"Before you and me, many people have done such things, but they have not made any changes to the city."

"You are in vain." Li Qi said.

However, Jing Wuzhen sorted out many reports without looking back, and then said: "When I was at the eighth level, I practiced boxing 10,000 times and swung the sword 30,000 times every day. Looking at each time, I was in vain, but together, it helped me lay the foundation for the seventh level."

There are many reports. After all, they are about trillions of people. Even if they are very brief, the total amount is a very scary number.

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

Soon, she finished processing these reports and understood the general situation below. Then she handed Li Qi a wisp of book air: "Then, I'll trouble you. I don't know how to calculate."

Li Qi nodded and took the book air she gave.

There is a 'conclusion' in it, and as a witch, he is good at divination and can divination 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 therapy you gave is very useful."

"It must be useful." Jing Wuzhen said.

Martial arts practice requires hard work, but you have to endure hardships, and recuperation is also indispensable, otherwise you will practice yourself to death.

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

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

The treasure tree got the blood, and the breath of life instantly expanded, and many plants next to it entered the state of induced birth.

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

Although Jing Wuzhen, as a warrior, can't cultivate herbs, the power of the fourth-grade blood, even if it is only one drop, can also give birth to a large number of these herbs. Although this will make the medicinal properties a little violent and difficult to tame, and produce many side effects, it is better than nothing.

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

When they first arrived ten years ago, the industrial zone was full of deformities.

A large number of deformed people, and the reason why these people were deformed was entirely due to long working hours. The most common deformities were the bending of the spine and legs, and there were even worse ones, and some even transformed the human body into a mechanical servant puppet.

There was no other reason, these diseases were caused by overwork.

Long-term labor made these proud children... at least the great people who were proud children in their own world became hunched over, or their bodies weakened by the harsh environment could not resist such intense labor, and they had more or less various injuries and diseases.

Various deformities and diseases were very common, the knees bent inward, the ligaments on the joints were often loose and lacked elasticity, and various bones were bent. The thick ends of these long bones were particularly bent and overdeveloped. These patients came from the assembly line where the working hours were too long.

Some of these injuries were even extremely serious, and they were still there when they were left at the fifth level, becoming part of their physical characteristics, just like the lame leg of the Demon Prince.

For example, the fifth-level controller on the 25th floor just now.

He could no longer walk up the stairs due to his deformed body. His spine and pelvis were deformed.

Excessive labor also caused other deformities, especially lameness.

Even he, who was qualified and talented enough to be promoted to the fifth rank, was in this situation. One can imagine what the new young people would encounter. They had no talent, no strong body, better skills, environment and other conditions. It was impossible for them to withstand such a workload that could be called torture.

Besides, even if there was... that fifth-rank controller was also a leader. He would still suffer from back pain, waist pain, leg pain, joint swelling, large and stubborn ulcers on the thighs and calves, and eventually develop into deformity.

These were all old injuries, engraved in the inner world. It was difficult to treat them unless there was a treasure like the Emperor's Flowing Juice.

All of these were almost common phenomena among the lower levels of the 'Dream City'.

Of course, it was only limited to the lower levels.

Once you break through the eighth rank and reach the seventh rank, you will be much more 'decent', and it is not impossible to grow to the level of a 'controller' at a certain level.

For example, this beautiful ecological warehouse in front of us has a fifth-grade world tree as its support. Outside, there is an industrial park with sewage flowing and stinking. It is not an exaggeration to say that this ecological warehouse is a "paradise".

This is the enjoyment of high-grade beings in this dream city.

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

Although everyone will be clamped by the fourth-grade demon kings, staying in the world to oppress countless people is obviously much more efficient in accumulating resources than the outside world. Therefore, after they get ahead, they don’t necessarily have to leave here.

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

Li Qi understood these things in his heart and observed them for ten years.

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

Warriors, isn’t it just a word of recklessness? If they succeed, they are iron-blooded and brave, and if they fail, they are brainless and reckless.

Jing Wuzhen looked at Li Qi and said, "Finally decided to help? Don't you have other plans to work on? 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 energy. 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 thought about 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 changes for 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, and 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?
