Chapter 544: White Ape (Supplementary)
Li Yi, walking in Xinzhou City, intended to find a good place to wait quietly for the ghosts and gods of this world to come and find him. However, according to his thoughts, this time should be at night, because ghosts and gods were bodies of souls. Although they had the addition of incense belief and spiritual energy, they could walk during the day.
But essentially, they still lacked a physical body and needed to avoid the scorching sun to reduce their own consumption.
"That place is not bad."
Suddenly.
Li Yi saw a towering pavilion in the center of Xinzhou City. The pavilion was a full dozen stories high, and standing on it, one could overlook the entire city.
Thinking of this, he immediately walked toward the direction of the pavilion.
"If many ghosts and gods come, I can also take this opportunity to inquire about my father's whereabouts. He crossed over with the cultivation of the Soul Realm; now he must possess extraordinary strength and cultivation, perhaps already becoming a powerful god." Li Yi thought to himself. He felt that relying on himself to find him was not as good as asking the gods from all directions, as they knew this world best and had the most informed news.
Not long after.
Li Yi approached the pavilion. This pavilion was named the Invitation Star Tower, located in the Prince Xin Mansion. And the mansion was heavily guarded, and under normal circumstances, one couldn't enter at all.
"It turns out to be a Prince's Mansion."
However, he didn't care. He cast the Invisibility Spell, hid his figure, avoided the sight of ordinary people, and walked in directly through the main gate.
The two stone lions in front of the mansion seemed to notice Li Yi, growling and roaring, ready to pounce, but were suppressed by his dragon-tiger Qi, instantly withering into a corner, not daring to move.
Although lions were majestic, dragons and tigers were the kings.
Li Yi walked inside the Prince's Mansion.
Sure enough, no matter which world's princes and nobles were very enjoyable. This mansion was like spring all year round, with birds singing and flowers fragrant, ancient trees touching the sky. The maids coming and going were all beautiful, and some strange flowers and grasses, mountain treasures and earthly treasures were everywhere. For example, he saw old turtles spitting beads in the water, spiritual birds nesting in the trees, and nine-leaf ginseng blooming in the flower garden.
And between the comings and goings, there were white foxes playing and old apes dancing with swords.
"They are all monsters." Li Yi glanced and found that the animals here were not ordinary; all had opened their spiritual wisdom and had a certain cultivation.
But even if they were monsters, they were willing to join the Prince's Mansion and be kept by people.
The reason was very simple.
Princes and nobles could share the huge incense belief power from birth. These monsters entering the Prince's Mansion could also share a cup of soup, which was helpful for cultivation, and they would be protected, without illness or disaster, which was much better than staying in the wild. Moreover, if they achieved success in cultivation and served the imperial court, it would be easy to be appointed as a true god.
It was just that entering the Prince's Mansion was not easy; one had to be valued.
"Stop, where did this Daoist come from, daring to cast magic and sneak into the Prince's Mansion? Look at the sword." Suddenly, a loud shout came, and a white ape standing on an ancient tree observed the surroundings. Suddenly, its eyes lit up, seemingly seeing through Li Yi's Invisibility Spell, holding an ancient sword, and stabbing straight over.
Although they were a hundred meters apart, the white ape's figure was extremely agile, and with just one leap, it was already close to him.
Li Yi didn't say much, just rolled his Daoist robe to block the sharp ancient sword, then retreated slightly.
This white ape was like being hit by a giant dragon, its strong body instantly flew backward, crashing through countless flowers, plants, and trees along the way, and finally, with a bang, shattered a rockery, burying its whole body inside.
"Wah!" The white ape spat blood, eyes revealing human-like terror.
This, what kind of strength is this?
Just a light push, and it flew over ten feet away. If the Daoist priest hadn't held back, just that moment, it felt its body would have exploded; there was absolutely no possibility of surviving.
"Sorry, I didn't control my strength well; it was a bit too much." Li Yi said: "You white ape can already speak human language; it seems you have really become a monster. I was just passing by and looking for a place to rest. If you pretend you didn't see me, I won't make things difficult for you, how about that?"
"I am the Mountain-Watching Ape of the Prince's Mansion, specifically responsible for guarding this place. How can I allow a mountain Daoist like you to enter and exit the Prince's Mansion at will?" The white ape stood up from the ruins very stubbornly, its fur stained with blood, but it still held the ancient sword tightly.
Li Yi said: "The whole city only has this place big enough. When I cast magic tonight, the impact here will be the smallest. After tonight, I will leave. Wouldn't it be good for everyone to live in peace? Otherwise, if we fight, and I accidentally kill you, that would be a pity. If you agree, I can give you a magic spell, just the Invisibility Spell from earlier, how about that?"
He tried to bribe this white ape.
The white ape's eyes turned. At this moment, it hesitated. After all, it couldn't beat this Daoist priest, and being able to learn a magic spell was not a loss. It immediately said: "Is your Invisibility Spell proper? It's not some evil magic, right?"
"True transmission of the Daoist school, very proper." Li Yi said.
"That's good. You teach me the Invisibility Spell, and I allow you to stay in the Prince's Mansion for one day. But just one day. After one day, you Daoist must leave." The white ape agreed.
Li Yi smiled: "Then you come to the Invitation Star Tower at night, and I will teach you the magic spell."
"The Prince is hosting a banquet at the Invitation Star Tower tonight. You cannot go to the Invitation Star Tower before the Xu hour." The white ape said.
Li Yi said: "I can cast the Invisibility Spell and sit quietly on the side without being discovered." The white ape scratched its head, thought for a while, and said: "That's fine. Then I will wait until the banquet disperses before looking for you to learn the magic spell. You cannot go back on your word."
"Why would I, a Daoist priest, lie to you, a monkey?" Li Yi said: "However, how did you see through my Invisibility Spell? My Invisibility Spell is not a great magic, but it is not something monsters can see through."
"Before I came to the Prince's Mansion, I cultivated in the mountains, watching the sun during the day and the moon at night. Over time, my eyes underwent some changes and could see through many changing magic spells." The white ape said: "Plus the exquisite sword technique I learned, many monsters are not my opponents."
"So that's how it is. Refining the eyes with the sun and moon, no wonder it's extraordinary." Li Yi nodded slightly.
This cultivation method should have inadvertently fit the cultivation method of some magic spell. If perfected, it might not be a new Daoist technique. His Invisibility Spell was just learned casually from a Daoist technique book, and it was normal for it to be seen through by the white ape's eyes.
"However, your sword technique is not very good; it can only be said to be barely usable." Li Yi then commented again.
The white ape said: "Does the Daoist priest also understand sword technique?"
"Understand a little."
Li Yi pointed with his hand, and a sword Qi crisscrossed, instantly cutting open the air, shattering a rockery, and then the sword Qi darted into the sky and disappeared.
The white ape looked, its eyes shrinking, seeing the rockery cut like tofu, and was shocked. If that sword had struck, it wouldn't have been able to react at all. If it had been hit, it would have been beheaded and died on the spot in an instant.
"This, this is a flying sword?" It said very shocked.
No mistakes, one read, one send, one content, one look!
Li Yi said: "It's not a flying sword, it's sword Qi. Why, does anyone here know flying sword?"
He didn't expect that in this world of incense becoming divinity, there were also people who knew flying sword. Wasn't that the means of the cultivators of the Xuan Xian Continent?
"The Daoist priest invited by the Prince knows flying sword. He can knead a precious sword into a sword pill and swallow it into his abdomen. He only needs to spit it out, and it can turn into a flying sword, flying out instantly, invincible." The white ape said.
It seems the Daoist priests of this world still have some ability, but I don't know how their sword pills compare to the spiritual weapon flying swords of cultivators.
"However, I also know that flying sword technique you mentioned." Li Yi then smiled lightly: "But that magic spell is not powerful, and I don't use it much."
He only needed to channel the metal Qi in his lungs and spit it out, and it could turn into a flying sword. As for how powerful it was, he hadn't tried it.
"Daoist priest, you are indeed a high person, actually knowing so many magic spells. Then why don't you show a few hands at tonight's banquet? Maybe you will get the Prince's appreciation, and then you will enjoy endless wealth and glory." The white ape at this moment was like an old broker, trying to pull Li Yi into the Prince's Mansion.
"Haha, I would like to enjoy wealth and glory, but the big things are not finished, so I have to run around." Li Yi said with a smile.
However, the commotion here seemed to attract the attention of others, and two soldiers on patrol walked over after hearing the sound.
"White Ape, who are you talking to? Did a thief enter the mansion?" One soldier asked.
The white ape's eyes turned, but the Daoist priest had already disappeared, not knowing where he had gone. It immediately said: "No thief. I was distracted when looking at the sun and fell from the tree. I was just scolding someone."
"So that's how it is. You keep a close watch these two days. Something happened today; the government office in the city collapsed. I heard it was done by a demon Daoist with high magic power, and that demon Daoist is now missing. If he entered the Prince's Mansion, that would be terrible." The soldier said.
"Alright, I know." The white ape immediately agreed.
After sending away the two soldiers, the white ape whispered: "Daoist priest, Daoist priest, are you there?"
"I am here."
Li Yi walked through a courtyard wall at this moment, his figure appearing.
"Daoist priest, what magic spell is this?" The white ape asked with burning eyes, scratching its head.
Li Yi said: "Wall-Passing Spell, just a small magic spell not worth mentioning. I'm leaving. Remember to look for me at night. If you miss the time, don't blame me for not teaching you the magic spell."
As he spoke, he turned and walked toward the Invitation Star Tower.
"This Daoist priest's magic is powerful, and his aura is pure; he is definitely not a demon Daoist. That demon Daoist must be someone else." After watching Li Yi leave, the white ape recalled the soldier's words earlier, then shook its head, not believing Li Yi was a demon Daoist, only feeling that this was a high person who had attained the Dao.
"However, I also want to learn that Wall-Passing Spell. What should I do?"
Then, the white ape scratched its head again, thinking about how to learn magic spells from Li Yi's hands.
Its eyes turned, looking at the treasure bead spat out by the old turtle in the pond, then it carried the ancient sword and walked over with a grin.
