426. Chapter 425: Tai Yi
"This is the Tianxiang Tower."
Li Yi was surrounded by the bald Daoist, Old Daoist Wu, and Liu Liu Guzi and arrived in front of a nine-story building. This building was imposing and exquisite, with carved beams and painted pillars. Wind chimes hung at the four corners, making pleasant sounds when the wind blew. It was quiet and peaceful, without the slightest noisy sound. Although it was located in the central area of the Dao Court, few people stepped into it among the coming and going crowds.
"The Tianxiang Tower doesn't seem to have much business; it's very deserted."
The bald Daoist said: "Of course there's no business. This is run by the Heavenly Dao Sect. It's expensive. How can ordinary people afford it? And some things must be bought with spirit stones. But who has spirit stones in their hands these days? Even if they do, they are reluctant to spend them, all wanting to save them to hang onto their lives. So the business of the Tianxiang Tower is naturally getting worse day by day."
"But Benefactor, you'll know once you go in. It's definitely worth the price, even if it's expensive."
As he spoke, a slight, mischievous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"By the way, I haven't asked for your Daoist name, Benefactor." Suddenly, he asked again.
Daoist name?
He had to make up a name again.
But how to make up this Daoist name?
When he was in the Savage World before, he could be called Lord Dayi; in the Four Seas and Eight Continents, he was called Senior Brother, Li Mengde; in the No. 6 world, he was called Yi. He already had more and more titles, so one more now wouldn't matter.
Li Yi thought of the Tai Tai Xianweng at the Golden Academy before and immediately said: "Tai Yi, my Daoist name is Tai Yi."
Tai Yi?
The bald Daoist's expression shifted slightly, and his heart jumped inexplicably.
Old Daoist Wu and Liu Liu Guzi on the side were also stunned when they heard this Daoist name. Although they had degenerated into mortals, upon hearing this Daoist name for the first time, they immediately felt a Dao Ancestor descending into the world, a supreme Dao appearing, like the intersection of heaven and earth, gestated and born. Its Dao was infinite, its meaning was vast, and it was not something an ordinary person could bear.
Moreover, this person's origin was unknown, he carried a new method, passed on martial arts, continued the path for the Dharma-Ending era, and now had the title of Tai Yi. Could it really be heaven's will?
The three of them looked up at the sky in unison.
"Why are you standing here without moving? Not going to the Tianxiang Tower anymore? Let's go, I'm treating today, don't worry about the expenses," Li Yi said very generously. He had obtained all the assets of a Golden Core cultivator and made a killing. Now he was quite wealthy, so treating these former cultivation bigwigs to a meal was no problem at all. Anyway, money picked up was money not spent, and he was just a newcomer, so it was the time to spend his wealth and make friends.
After all, he still wanted to learn cultivation methods.
"Benefactor, please go first." The bald Daoist smiled awkwardly, then retreated a step without a trace, signaling Li Yi to go first.
"Alright then." Li Yi walked in front, feeling that these bigwigs were starved poor and didn't dare to consume, feeling a bit stage-frightened.
The bald Daoist then looked at Old Daoist Wu and Liu Liu Guzi.
The three looked at each other, then hurriedly followed behind Li Yi, but all followed the rules and fell a step behind, not daring to walk with Tai Yi to avoid committing a taboo.
When Li Yi stepped into the Tianxiang Tower.
In the immediately deserted building, several young and beautiful Daoist nuns in Daoist robes were stunned for a moment, then pairs of beautiful eyes locked onto Li Yi, constantly sizing him up. That look was full of heat, like starving wolves, instantly smelling the meat.
Li Yi was wearing dragon scale armor. Although he looked like a savage from the mountains, he was tall and sturdy, with strong muscles, and his skin was white and translucent, with silver light faintly circulating, which was very divine. This was a sign of cultivation. In the Dharma-Ending era, with everyone degenerating, he was like a crane among chickens; it was hard not to attract attention.
And just by walking over, a breath of extreme yang and extreme hardness rushed toward them, like a scorching sun, emitting surging and powerful vitality.
Young, divine, and even going against the current in the Dharma-Ending era—what did this mean? It went without saying.
Dao fate?
Opportunity?
Changing fate was right at this moment.
These beautiful Daoist nuns' hearts jumped wildly. As for the bald guy and the old hag behind, they were background boards and could be ignored directly. Those strange-looking appearances were just to set off the extraordinary nature of this man.
"Oh!"
Suddenly, a mature and beautiful Daoist nun with a plump figure walked over in a hurry. When she got close, she deliberately let out a soft cry and fell toward Li Yi. A pair of white and tender hands hurriedly grabbed out, wanting to make close contact with Li Yi and feel whether this aura was real or fake.
"Miss, are you alright?"
As a martial artist and an evolutionist, Li Yi could perceive any movement around him. The moment the beautiful Daoist nun fell, he just reached out to support her, and the silver Gang Qi lifted and supported her.
"This humble one thanks the Young Master for the help. Just now, I was in a hurry and almost fell, disturbing the Young Master. Please forgive me, Young Master," this mature and beautiful Daoist nun said with red cheeks and a sweet voice.
The bald Daoist on the side immediately opened his eyes wide: "Fellow Daoist Xiangxiangzi, it's been a while. Why has your way of speaking become like this? Are you alright? Did your cultivation realm drop again recently?"
He remembered that every time he saw Xiangxiangzi, he didn't get a good look, and she was always cold-faced, scolding people as soon as she opened her mouth.
Fortunately, he was dashing and handsome. If it were someone else, he probably wouldn't have been able to get a word in. Why was she so enthusiastic and charming when she saw Tai Yi today?
However, this sentence immediately brought a cold, murderous look from the Daoist nun, and then her lips moved, silently saying a series of words: Go to hell, hurry up and go to hell, you dead bald guy.
"..."
The bald Daoist felt his heart ache for a moment.
Clearly, he had rejuvenated. Logically speaking, the immortal nuns of the Tianxiang Tower should be able to feel his handsomeness. Why did he get such a result?
Li Yi said: "I am a newcomer to the Dao Court. I was saved by the bald Daoist, and today I want to treat everyone to a meal to thank them for saving my life. I don't know if you can arrange a larger place and prepare some wine and food. Of course, money is not a problem. This is the deposit. If it's not enough, ask me for more."
Afterwards, he took a spirit stone from his storage magic tool and handed it over.
"Spirit stone?" Immediately, the other beautiful Daoist nuns exclaimed.
The spiritual energy was so rich.
Now that the Dharma-Ending era had passed for so long, to think someone still possessed such a spirit stone rich in spiritual energy. No wonder this person could go against the current and cultivate in the Dharma-Ending era.
"Easy to say, since the Young Master ordered, how can this humble one not obey."
Xiangxiangzi's beautiful eyes lit up. While hurriedly putting the spirit stone into her sleeve, she also held Li Yi's hand and wouldn't let go, gently stroking it.
This aura...
Xiangxiangzi's heart trembled. She was shocked by the powerful aura contained in Li Yi's body. Just by touching it, she could feel how vast the spiritual energy contained in this body was. Even in the Dharma-Ending era, she had never seen his body show any signs of decay; instead, it was still transforming.
"How is it possible?" She was very shocked inside.
From this feeling, the young man in front of her didn't look like a cultivator of the Dharma-Ending era at all, but rather like someone who had lived in a place with abundant spiritual energy, because even in the sleeping places of Dao-achievers, some surviving blessed lands couldn't have such spiritual energy to squander.
"Miss, why are you holding my hand and not letting go? Is the money not enough?" Li Yi looked at her and asked.
Xiangxiangzi came back to her senses. She smiled and said: "The deposit is enough. My Daoist name is Xiangxiangzi. I haven't asked for the Young Master's name yet. However, a person like the Young Master must be a divine son of some great sect."
As she spoke, she reluctantly let go of Li Yi, while suspecting that Li Yi was a divine son secretly cultivated by some top sect, who had come out this time mostly to revitalize the orthodoxy or was shouldering the task of the sect's rise and fall.
After all, the Dharma-Ending era had passed for many years, and it was common for some silent sects to be unable to hold on.
"My Daoist name is Tai Yi, and I am not a divine son of any great sect," Li Yi said.
"Tai Yi..."
Xiangxiangzi's heart shook when she heard this Daoist name, and she looked at Li Yi with some disbelief.
"Tai means great, Yi means change. Could it be that the change of the Dharma-Ending era, the line of life, is on this person?" She had many things appear in her mind in an instant.
As a cultivator who had once opened the five qi in her chest and opened the three flowers on her head, Xiangxiangzi, like the bald Daoist and others, was sensitive to the grasp of Dao opportunities. But for many years, she had never had such a feeling. Only today, at the first sight of Li Yi, and after hearing this Daoist name, Xiangxiangzi could immediately be certain that Tai Yi was the foundation of her achieving the Dao.
"Sure enough, this Xiangxiangzi also smelled the scent." The bald Daoist's gaze shifted slightly, and he didn't find it strange.
After all, he had only opened one of the three flowers on his head. Xiangxiangzi had opened two of the three flowers on her head at her peak, one step away from perfection. Such a person, even if she had declined, as long as she saw Li Yi and heard the name Tai Yi, would definitely feel something.
This mysterious and mysterious induction was unclear.
Those who believe, believe firmly.
Those who don't believe, turn a deaf ear.
However, as someone who was about to achieve the Dao at her peak, if she didn't have an induction to Dao opportunities, then she was trash and didn't deserve to cultivate, and could go die immediately.
"Tai Yi, look at what I have in my hand."
Suddenly, Xiangxiangzi stretched out her slender and white fingers and said with a smile. Then her ten fingers flew, pinching out mysterious magic seals. Then the magic seals changed, her hands were like lotus flowers, slowly spreading out.
At the same time, an illusory, holy flower bloomed. However, as soon as this flower bloomed, it began to wither and fade rapidly, like a flash in the pan.
Li Yi looked down subconsciously, and with just one glance, his spirit became trance-like, as if he had fallen into a certain artistic conception. He felt a certain Dao principle in it, and some understanding and perception of cultivation were rapidly improving. Many things he didn't quite understand before were instantly connected.
"Flower of the Primordial Spirit? Xiangxiangzi, what are you doing?" The bald Daoist opened his eyes wide, shocked.
In the Dharma-Ending era, blooming the Flower of the Primordial Spirit only had two possibilities: either fighting for one's life or self-cutting cultivation.
But Xiangxiangzi, why would she fight for her life with Tai Yi for no reason?
The two had just met for the first time, with no grudges.
And it wouldn't be that she suddenly self-cut her cultivation. This Flower of the Primordial Spirit was the foundation of a cultivator. Once it withered, she would have no chance with the gathering of the three flowers. Many cultivators, even if they died, were unwilling to cut off the last flower and give up the last thought.
"Go."
Xiangxiangzi looked deeply at Li Yi, revealing an expectant smile, and then, while Li Yi was in a trance, she hit her Flower of the Primordial Spirit into his body.
"It's the Heavenly Dao Sect's inherited Dao method, Grafting Flowers onto Trees."
Old Daoist Wu was knowledgeable and seemed to recognize it. He said with a solemn expression: "Xiangxiangzi is transplanting her Flower of the Primordial Spirit to Tai Yi, wanting to wait for Tai Yi to gather the three flowers on his head in the future, so that her primordial spirit can return and return to her peak."
"Ah? What is this for? Business was going well, why did she suddenly play with her life?" The bald Daoist was surprised.
"This crazy woman, does she really believe that Tai Yi can help her bloom the Flower of the Primordial Spirit again? If he dies halfway, she's finished. And what if Tai Yi swallows her Flower of the Primordial Spirit and makes it his own? What then?" Liu Liu Guzi also showed an expression of disbelief. ===== CHAPTER 423 =====
"This crazy woman, does she really believe that Tai Yi can help her re-bloom the Flower of the Primordial Spirit? If she dies halfway, she will be finished. And what if Tai Yi swallows her Flower of the Primordial Spirit and makes it his own? What then?" Liu Liu Guzi also revealed an expression of disbelief.
