Chapter 321: The One Named Li

~13 min read 2,591 words

The swamp filled with moisture was eternally dim, giving people a lonely and oppressive feeling.

Constantly going deeper.

Rotten mud and water grass gradually disappeared, turning into a turbid water kingdom.

The Prefecture Shepherd Jade Boat traveled on the water swamp only three feet deep.

Li Youyi sat at the bow of the boat, the wound on his palm had completely healed, and the severely consumed magic power in his body had also recovered. After all, he was only at the first heaven of the Dao Seed Realm, continuously performing great art-level attacks, the magic power consumption was huge, and he couldn't fight for a long time, unless he used liquid magic power.

Non-dragon species planting the Dao, martial cultivators at the first heaven, often need several years of hard practice to accumulate, comprehend, and experience.

He took out the pitch-black thousand-year essence medicine from the boundary bag.

According to what Tuoba Butuo said, it grew deep underground, moved extremely fast, and almost couldn't be caught.

"Should be a thousand-year Earth Spirit Boy."

Li Youyi already had a fairly detailed understanding of various treasures and essence medicines in the world.

Walking the path of a thought master, one must be knowledgeable and remember well.

Earth Spirit Boy grows underground, born by absorbing Yin Qi. It becomes human-shaped in a thousand years and develops intelligence.

Sky Spirit Boy grows in the clouds, born by absorbing Yang Qi.

In addition, there are Water Spirit Boy, Fire Spirit Child, Wind Spirit Boy...

If it can grow for ten thousand years, turning into an Imperial Medicine, it can break away from the grass and wood body, raise a flesh and blood body, and although its combat power is not as good as a martial arts Son of Heaven, it is fully capable of competing with a transcendent and mastering self-protection power.

Er Feng leaned over, moving stealthily along Li Youyi's arm toward the Earth Spirit Boy.

"You want to eat alone?" Li Youyi said.

Er Feng nodded fiercely.

Li Youyi said: "The big phoenix already has different intentions, you should encourage it. Take it, grow to the third realm of the Dao Seed Realm as soon as possible, shoulder the heavy responsibility, and take on the big task."

Since following Tang Wanzhou, the big phoenix often mentioned her in front of Li Youyi, telling Li Youyi not to be afraid of danger, use the teleportation array to find her, or teleport it alone.

The body was still with Li Youyi, but psychologically it had clearly derailed.

Er Feng revealed a loyal look of "rest assured, I'm here," then bit the thousand-year Earth Spirit Boy and ate it alone.

Qi Xiao sat at the stern of the boat, studying Sikong Ce's circular shield.

This shield was an extraordinary treasure, the Qilin Lion giant ghost battle soul sealed inside had combat power comparable to an expert of the fourth heaven of the Dao Seed Realm, and its value was extraordinary.

But it was only the fourth heaven of the Dao Seed Realm, far less precious than the Ghost Flag.

In this regard, magic tools have a clear disadvantage compared to Dao arts.

As the martial cultivator's cultivation realm improves, they must change to magic tools of higher grade, and then go to adapt to the magic tools. Like Sikong Qin, Sikong Ce, and Sikong Jingyuan, the loss of magic tools was simply a heavy loss, and their combat power slipped by a large margin.

Li Youyi summoned the golden ancient mirror from his Ancestral Field, studied it for a while, handed it to Tuoba Butuo, and exhorted: "In the main altar, never use this tool, otherwise there will be a killing disaster."

Tuoba Butuo was not hypocritical and accepted it directly: "I understand, after all, it is related to the Hall Master of the Withered Glory Hall. Brother Youyi, this Black Swamp of Meditation Flowers connects to the entrance of the underground immortal mansion we came in from, in the world, I don't know how many experts are exploring and searching there. It's been almost a year, you say, will anyone come to the underground immortal mansion to look for our bones because of us?"

Missing for a year, losing contact with the outside world, anyone would think they were in bad luck.

Li Youyi could feel Tuoba Butuo's sadness and longing, and Qi Xiao at the stern of the boat also looked thoughtful.

The first figure that appeared in Li Youyi's mind was Jiang Ning's moving figure. But soon, a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face; not to mention that the two only had a brief intersection, just the marriage with Sikong Hongting was enough to make all weak good feelings vanish.

Later, the Ancestral Field being abolished, suicide and decadence, etc., were enough to make any woman disdain and be disappointed.

Not to mention a noble lady like her.

The ten of them went to the Crossing Disaster Temple, it had been almost two years, and now they might have returned.

Compared to Jiang Ning, Li Youyi felt that Sikong Hongting and Yao Yin were more likely to come to the underground immortal mansion to find him, the former after all had a marriage contract in name, and had brotherly feelings. The latter was more emotional.

Putting away all kinds of miscellaneous thoughts in his mind, Li Youyi said: "The moment we joined the Twin Rice Sect, fate had already headed in another direction. Wanting to break free from the shackles on our bodies and return to the past is by no means an easy task. With our current cultivation base, what we can do is nothing more than stick to our original heart and take one step at a time. Only by living can we possibly break free from the shackles."

Qi Xiao nodded in agreement: "The Twin Rice Sect has at least three transcendents, two Rice Ancestors, and that living spirit in Coffin Mountain. The hall masters, vice hall masters of the four halls, the five great venerables, the leaders of the God-Slaying Servants... are all Longevity Realm giants, their strength is even stronger than the ten-thousand-gate sect. If we betray, we will surely die, and may even implicate family and friends."

"This is just a corner we learned." Li Youyi said.

They had only been to two of the seven layers of the main altar.

In the distance, the roaring sound of water flow became gradually clearer.

Tuoba Butuo stood up and looked over: "Arrived!"

Li Youyi and Qi Xiao were shocked to the point of holding their breath by the scene before them.

Above the Black Swamp of Meditation Flowers, it was thousands of meters high, covered by miasma black gas, forming a fake sky.

Coming to this place, a terrifying big hole appeared in the sky, as if it had been punched through in ancient times, with a diameter of dozens of miles. Above, don't know where it leads?

A blood waterfall poured down from the "sky" thousands of meters high.

The blood waterfall had abundant water volume, and the sound was roaring, but it hung on the edge of the big hole, looking from afar, like a blood line.

The swamp turned into a blood-red ocean here, boundless.

Qi Xiao said: "No wonder it is said that after going three hundred miles deep, you cannot go forward. Coming here, I feel uneasy, like breaking into hell, and my mood is inexplicably irritable."

Tuoba Butuo said: "Not hell, but it's about the same! There was a world-shaking battle here, under the mud of the blood swamp, it's all bones, countless, like a sea of corpses. The thousand-year essence medicine and the spear were fished out from under this sea of corpses. How about it, two brothers, dare to go down with me to explore again?"

Li Youyi said: "Other places have long been explored by Rice Sect disciples for many years, and the possibility of finding good things is very small. Here, on the contrary, is a treasure land."

"Exactly this reason! The armor and battle soldiers on the corpses of some experts of the Pogaluo Sect are not completely rotten, fully capable of being sold for a good price. As long as there is money, are you afraid of not being able to buy cultivation resources?" Tuoba Butuo said.

"Sikong Jingyuan don't know when he will find us, someone must stay on the boat, otherwise there is a possibility of being ambushed by them. I will stay!"

Li Youyi released the five Phoenix-Wing Moth Emperors except Er Feng, letting them also explore the bottom of the water to find thousand-year essence medicines.

These five guys actually summoned a large number of fierce insects to be soldiers, not only looking for thousand-year essence medicines, but also working with Tuoba Butuo and Qi Xiao to fish up corpses wearing armor and rotten battle soldiers, working vigorously.

Tens of thousands of years passed, most of the magic tools of the past had rotted into broken copper and iron.

"This armor is okay, cast from dense metal, can be returned to the furnace for refining, can be sold for thousands of Gushing Spring coins."

"A pill furnace is a pity, it should have been a thousand-character tool back then, can refine pills, can be a battle soldier. The scriptures inside have dissipated, and it has been pierced. The material of the tool, a small part has not rusted, can be worth tens of thousands of Gushing Spring coins."

Li Youyi sat on the boat, identifying them one by one, and took the tools with remaining value into the boundary bag.

He exhorted the six little ones to look for items with materials similar to the spear, and the Spirit Platform Flame Star Stone.

So many experts of the Pogaluo Sect had died here, how could they not carry the Spirit Platform Flame Star Stone? There would definitely be a harvest.

"Whoosh!"

A gust of Yin wind blew over, very cold.

Li Youyi hurriedly raised his head, looked at the scarlet and vast swamp sea, and looked behind him, feeling slightly nervous and worried that the movement here was too big, attracting terrifying things.

This place doesn't look like a good place.

Yang Qingxi stood in a cave dwelling like a karst cave, which was extremely vast, dozens of meters high, with bronze beams, steps, stone pillars, stone beasts... some were naturally formed, some were artificially carved.

This place was the treasure house discovered by Wang Shu.

The treasure house was divided into an outer layer and an inner layer.

Climbing the steps on the cliff in the distance, one could enter the inner layer.

But on the steps, there was an array left during the ancient Pogaluo Sect period, and only at the end of each month would the power of the array weaken.

Yang Qingxi felt that this place should be the cave dwelling of a big figure of the ancient Pogaluo Sect, and there must be supreme treasures in the inner layer, but she had tried many times and couldn't break through the stone steps.

Behind her, fragrance drifted over.

Yang Qingchan in a green shirt floated down to a stone pillar a few feet away.

The ghost in her body was extremely fond of beauty, and as her physical body strengthened and her strength improved, she paid attention to her external image, drawing eyebrows and painting lips, applying powder to her snow cheeks, even more beautiful and exquisite than Yang Qingxi who didn't wear makeup, and her whole body exuded an unusual luster.

Yang Qingchan said: "Sikong Yanlun has retreated!"

"Oh, he doesn't look like a person who gives up easily." Yang Qingxi was a bit surprised.

Because she was worried about the treasure house being exposed, Yang Qingxi had been hiding in the cave for the past few days, while Sikong Yanlun wandered in the nearby area searching.

Yang Qingchan said: "He was summoned away by Sikong Jingyuan."

"Sikong Jingyuan found the one named Li?" Yang Qingxi's heart moved.

Before, Yang Qingxi had already encountered Sikong Yanlun and Sikong Jingyuan once, ending in a disastrous defeat. Fortunately, Yang Qingchan's physical body was already very strong and could erupt with tyrannical combat power, so they were able to escape back to the treasure house.

But because of this, the secret of the treasure house in the nearby area was exposed.

The reason Yang Qingxi knew Li Youyi had also come to the south was that Sikong Yanlun had once made a wild statement of "killing Li Youyi in front of her, making her willingly submit under his body." It was as if the reason she didn't submit was because of a certain man, which really made Yang Qingxi angry and ashamed.

Just waiting to break through to the fourth heaven, first beat his stinky mouth, then smash him into ten thousand pieces, to avenge the siege of this period.

Yang Qingchan said: "Saying it out, you might not believe it. Sikong Jingyuan actually lost to the one named Li in your mouth, so he came to find Sikong Yanlun, wanting to kill back."

A different color appeared in Yang Qingxi's eyes: "This is impossible! Li Youyi's martial arts have reached the end. Thought power cultivation is a slow process, where did he get so many Star Day Pills?"

Li Youyi possessing Star Day Pills was no longer a secret.

Yang Qingchan said: "I intercepted Sikong Qin who was sent to return to the Withered Glory Hall to ask for the great true disciple Chang Yuyan, and forced out many things. That Li, his thought power may have reached the level of a four-star spirit thought master, and he successfully planted the Dao in the Wind Mansion."

"Where is the person?" Yang Qingxi asked.

Yang Qingchan poured out Sikong Qin from the boundary bag: "He was seriously injured in the battle, injured by the Yin Ghost Commander, what he said should not be false. That Ghost Flag is an extraordinary treasure, you should find a way to seize it, sacrificing some beauty is also worth it."

"Beauty? Do you think what kind of person Li Youyi is? You'd better not act rashly there, be careful of being clever but being mistaken by cleverness." Yang Qingxi looked at the old man on the ground.

Sikong Qin's limbs were all broken, very miserable, bleeding from seven orifices, his face dark purple.

"What happened to him?"

"Applied some secret arts to him! Obtaining information, how could it be so easy?"

Yang Qingxi asked: "Does he know where Li Youyi is now?"

"Seems he hasn't left the Black Swamp of Meditation Flowers, but went to the depths of the swamp, his courage is not ordinary." Yang Qingchan said.

"The Flower of Meditation and the Spirit Platform Flame Star Stone are treasures for thought master cultivation, he should be for these two things."

A thought arose in Yang Qingxi's heart, her eyes lit up: "Why don't we go join in the fun?"

"Mantis stalks the cicada, oriole behind." Yang Qingchan laughed like silver bells, her red lips shiny.

Yang Qingxi said: "Whether to be an oriole, let's not mention it for now. If the one named Li loses to those two brothers, and those two brothers get the Ghost Flag, Demon Armor, and seven strange insects, where do we still have a chance to turn over? Submit to them? Yao Qian, I don't look up to, let alone them?"
