Chapter 1007

【Ten Thousand Chariots Punishing Light Emperor Book】.

Li Xi Ming glanced at it and praised:

"It is more suitable. Although both are 'Red Severed Arrow' and the grade cannot be distinguished, the Wei Li inheritance is distinct. The 【Ten Thousand Chariots Punishing Light Emperor Book】 is clearly more orthodox than the 【Red Tiao Guard General Dharma Scripture】!"

Li Zhouwei nodded and replied:

"Furthermore, immortal techniques are limited. The 【Ten Thousand Chariots Punishing Light Emperor Book】 requires two hundred and twenty, while the 【Red Tiao Guard General Dharma Scripture】 requires one hundred and eighty-one. The gap is quite large."

"It's just that..."

"When I exchanged for the 【Heavenly Secretary Cloth Order Divine Scroll】 back then, there were already one hundred and seventy-five left. I broke the sect and destroyed the gate, beheaded Cheng Yan, and obtained fifty-"

"seven... totaling two hundred and thirty-two..."

Li Xi Ming pondered slightly and replied with some emotion:

"There isn't much left."

A slight smile appeared on Li Zhouwei's face, and he said:

"It is a good thing to be able to use it. What I fear is having vast mountains and seas of cultivation techniques and manuals but no use for them. As for immortal merit, there will be some sooner or later."

He raised his hand and pulled three sticks of incense from his sleeve, but then paused and replied:

"Although this junior has a divine body, the etiquette cannot be lacking. I will burn incense and bathe before performing the act of listening to Heaven."

Li Xi Ming suddenly realized and said thoughtfully:

"Good!"

The two went down from the pavilion, and Li Zhouwei put away his hand and said solemnly:

"Where has Lord Yang fought to?"

Li Xi Ming was on the lake, and he had clearly been paying attention to this matter all along, saying in a low voice:

"He has already passed Lijing!"

The two sat down by the stone table, and the moon-white round lamps on both sides lit up immediately. Li Xi Ming said:

"The Great Desire Dao went south wantonly and spent a lot of effort. Each golden lotus does not look like a mundane object, and they promoted the local people to enter the Buddhist path, but they collapsed easily to the north, leaving behind many followers. They are refined but not numerous, and they are quick to kill."

"It's just that I heard the news..."

He had an emotional expression and replied:

"I heard that those mountains are full of children soaked in silver water, and they are ruined from the roots. That Lord Yang does not have the heart to kill, so he seals these lotus flowers one by one and releases them down the mountain to be fostered. It doesn't look like a good thing."

Li Zhouwei pondered silently and replied:

"That is the Yang family's business. Now that Senior Chang Xiao has been razed and Si Yuanli has boarded the ship, the sea is safe for the time being. This True Qi has also fought to the wilderness. At least at this point in time, the north dare not start a major war, and the family is rarely safe... I want to go to the East Sea."

"Oh?"

Li Xi Ming wanted to speak but stopped, listening to the young man say:

"Everything must be done with the most cautious attitude. Although the 【Ten Thousand Chariots Punishing Light Emperor Book】 is in hand, there must be a reason. I will meet the descendants of the Cui clan, ask some questions carefully, and take back those Mingyang cultivation techniques of the Cui family."

Li Xi Ming was slightly worried and nodded heavily, while Li Zhouwei stroked his sleeves, looking unconcerned:

"Uncle Grandmaster, rest assured. I will not make things difficult for them, nor will I take them for nothing. I will not let them suffer losses where compensation is due."

He raised his eyes, the gold somewhat dim:

"I have also met Yang Ya. He doesn't look like a generous person, so it's hard to guarantee what actions he might take in private. I will also take the opportunity to support Jueyin. If he dares to mistreat Jueyin, this junior will not spare him."

This sentence made Li Xi Ming nod repeatedly, replying: "Jueyin has been diligent for so many years; this is no longer a matter of the Cui family or the Li family."

"Furthermore..."

Li Zhouwei pondered slightly and replied:

"It would be best to see the Dragon. If I can't see him, it doesn't matter... Then I will go to Yinzhou and resolve the Buddhist artifacts on hand."

Li Xi Ming pondered for a while and replied:

"Since that is the case, the miscellaneous things in hand can also be disposed of. I was thinking about this earlier."

He took out the 【Dushan Pointing Spirit Talisman】 from his hand and said solemnly:

"I already have enough spirit artifacts on me, and I can't even use up one spirit treasure. The 【Bitin Qingyuan Profound Tripod】 and 【Shichuan】 are enough for me to toss about. You take this thing and see... It's best if it can be exchanged for some benefits. If not, Kuang Yu will also come to the lake during this time, so I will leave it with Kuang Yu."

Li Zhouwei raised his eyebrows. This was the second time he had heard the name Kuang Yu, and he said with interest:

"Uncle Grandmaster has been very close to this True Person recently!" Li Xi Ming didn't think much about it and shook his head, saying:

"Each takes what they need! When the sun loses its brilliance, these people immediately gather together to huddle for warmth. Whether it is my Daoist lineage or alchemy, it is ultimately useful."

Li Zhouwei raised his eyebrows, and then had a bit of a smile:

"How is Uncle Grandmaster's 'World Bright'... going?"

Li Xi Ming smiled awkwardly and replied regretfully:

"The first time didn't work... There are three or five years of effort left... I can try again."

Li Zhouwei was slightly helpless, but he still said very solemnly:

"I am not blaming Uncle Grandmaster. The difficulty of divine abilities is known to everyone. Even if I didn't have one or two fates on me, I would have hit a wall one after another in front of these divine abilities. It's just that time is tight, and I don't know when the new dynasty will be established, or how much tossing there will be. I can't afford to drag it out any longer."

"Now that the family has sufficient resources and the 【Wall Sinking Water】 of the Qunyi is less, the matter of elixirs can be put aside to let the techniques be refined and the divine abilities be cultivated."

He said solemnly:

"If it doesn't work this time, I will have to find Sima Yuanli again. No matter what, I must exchange that 【Bright Truth Harmonizing Spirit Pill】 from his hands."

Li Zhouwei spoke so bluntly that Li Xi Ming was no longer embarrassed. He nodded repeatedly and said with certainty:

"There were no elixirs to refine anyway. You go ahead, don't worry about the family... It's just that there is one thing that will trouble you."

Li Zhouwei cast an inquiring look, and Li Xi Ming took two things out of his sleeves.

One was a crystal-clear jade bottle, emitting a faint white energy, with strands of mysterious patterns floating on it. It was the 【Bright Truth Harmonizing Spirit Pill】!

The other thing was even more miraculous. It was a short knife with an ivory blade and a jade handle, carved with mysterious patterns like a ghost and monster catalog, emitting purple light.

Li Xi Ming smiled and said:

"During the time you were out, Ding Xuan Yangzi came to find me. This 【Upper Witch】 spirit embryo 【Li Blade】 has already been refined."

"Such fast speed... Ding Xuan Yangzi really has ability!"

Li Zhouwei nodded in surprise and asked suspiciously:

"He refined this thing, and the spiritual resources he took from my family every year were not small. The speed is so fast, it might also be a shortcut method of the Profound Dao..."

The golden eyes swept over the 【Li Blade】, Li Zhouwei's words stopped abruptly, and he frowned:

"Good treasure."

Li Xi Ming looked at him suspiciously, but saw Li Zhouwei staring at the ivory blade and looking closely, asking suspiciously:

"Is this... is this... a spirit object of the 'Treasure Earth'?"

Almost everyone would sigh at the 【Li Blade】, but Li Xi Ming had never noticed it. After all, it was just a spirit embryo in the end. He only heard Li Zhouwei raise his eyes and say:

"I heard that the sign of the 'Treasure Earth' is the 【Qi Elephant】. Where it sleeps, it rises into hills, called 【Treasure Household Hill】. Within a hundred miles, if there is no rain between the hills during marriage, pregnancy cannot flow, women work with swollen bellies, and cannot give birth all day... It was also a great demon in ancient times."

He lowered his eyebrows and said:

"This should be the ivory of a demon like a peacock next to the 【Qi Elephant】, but it's strange... such a good treasure, why was it used as a spirit embryo?"

Li Xi Ming heard that this demon was so strange, and felt a little uneasy in his heart, replying:

"It is ultimately the secret of someone else's Daoist lineage, so I won't investigate it. If you have time, just hand it to Jiao Zhongzi."

Li Zhouwei then got up, agreed to this matter, drove the bright light, and went out to change clothes and bathe.

And Li Xi Ming was still standing silently in the pavilion, standing quietly for a long while, finally sighed deeply, and sat cross-legged on the spot.

I don't know how long it took, the golden-eyed young man had already stood silently in front of the steps. He passed through the long corridor where white energy floated, and walked step by step to the mysterious room at the highest point of this 【Upper Huan Pavilion】.

The black wooden slip was still attached to the groove of the stone platform. His hand slid gently over the wooden slip, and the pale silver illusion rippled like water waves.

The condensed silver characters were not the 【Ten Thousand Chariots Punishing Light Emperor Book】 but another six characters.

【Rainbow Clouds Longitudinal Cloud Body Technique】.

But these silver characters only flickered for a moment and then dissipated. Strands of technique Daoist lineages floated up one by one from top to bottom, majestically:

"【Light Clouds Falling Clouds Technique】, 【Seven-Colored Clouds Seal】, 【Yi Light Escape Technique】, 【Hong Clouds Wonderful Technique】..."

These dense rosy light Daoist techniques slid across his eyes, but could not make him have a trace of nostalgia, instead making his eyes slowly lower.

He remained silent, and suddenly the face of Uncle Grandmaster Li Xi Ming appeared before his eyes—this Uncle Grandmaster must have discovered it earlier than himself, but he was calm and composed, as if there was nothing unusual.

"They are all techniques, no Daoist lineage."

"Not even one."

He Tian Sea.

Calcining Mountain.

The colorful clouds between the mountains were ethereal, the rosy light was clear, and the light of the mountain peak intertwined. The colorful clouds flew by, landed on the mountain peak, paused slightly, and then lifted the light, going straight forward.

At the foot of the mountain, groups of demons walked. A Daoist nun in a simple robe was stepping on the wind, and she saw the black light passing by, landing on the sea, but refused to land on the mountain, looking at each other from afar, turning into a middle-aged man.

This person manifested his figure, making the Daoist nun look up, take another look, and say faintly:

"So it is the True Person who has come!"

The middle-aged man looked at her with some embarrassment and replied:

"I am going to Kong Que Sea, passing by He Tian, so I came to see my sister."

"True Person is polite."

The Daoist nun replied casually, without much of a good face: "Now that you have seen me, do you have any instructions?"

The middle-aged man had a complex expression and replied:

"Xiao'er, I understand the bitterness in your heart, but you are ultimately family. I haven't seen you for decades... Why be like this."

This Daoist nun was surprisingly Yang Xiao'er!

And the man standing opposite her was surprisingly the Yang family True Person Yang Ruiyi whom Li Zhouwei saw in Si Min County!

Hearing Yang Ruiyi's words, Yang Xiao'er's cold expression finally softened a little. Without speaking, she saw Yang Ruiyi take out a small pocket pavilion from his sleeve.

This pavilion had nine corners, one table and four chairs. He threw it up gently, and immediately a pitch-black color shrouded down, pulling the two into it, standing opposite each other.

Yang Ruiyi sighed deeply, turned to the side, stood with his hands behind his back, and replied:

"Whether you believe it or not... your matter... I never thought it would be the result today. Father set this matter back then, and never thought that it would eventually become the overall situation of Mingyang..."

Yang Xiao'er didn't say a word. Yang Ruiyi frowned, his tone somewhat urgent, and said in a low voice:

"The fox clan is not worth mentioning. Let alone us, even in Tang Pan's hands, it is not a big deal. How could we spend so much effort! I..."

"..."

His words were interrupted by the Daoist nun in front of him. Yang Xiao'er said faintly:

"It seems that Li Jiangliang's matter is not a big effort either." Yang Ruiyi paused slightly and replied:

"You listen to me..."

He raised his eyebrows and said:

"Jiangliang's matter is that the overall situation between the north and south has been decided. We need Bai Lin, and the Li family also needs a token with us. That's why this happened... This is a decision at a higher level, and it cannot be confused with Father's arrangement at all..."

His expression became a bit more melancholy:

"Father had only a few children. You were born with poor aptitude and no spiritual orifices. He spent a lot of effort to get the 【Taiqing Spirit Palace Precious Qi】 just to help you open your orifices... but this thing has limited ability and cannot become a divine ability. Father just wanted you to be safe..."

Yang Ruiyi was dim for a while:

"Later, the Ning Li bloodline flowed out. It was just when Father was in charge. He already had a friendship with Ning Li, and seeing that Li Xizhi was a good person, he told you to go to the mountains to see if there was any marriage... I didn't expect you to fall in love at first sight... At that time, Father was still very satisfied, saying it was the fate of the two families..."

"After all... after all, it is Ning Li, so what if we keep one or two!"

Yang Xiao'er was gradually moved, still not saying a word, listening to her brother sigh:

"At that time, I never thought about Mingyang at all!"

He sighed like this, and suddenly raised his head:

"You have to know, Bai Lin was born after Cheng Huai was born. If I had known this earlier, I would never... I would never have let him be surnamed Li!"

Yang Xiao'er said faintly:

"Brother said it well. Whether it's me or my child, the people above don't care. It's because they don't care that there are these troubles."

She took a step forward, her clean face carrying some sorrow:

"I am not a stupid person, and Brother doesn't have to cover up for Father... Father... I'll call him Father..."

"Valuing my husband is because of the friendship of Ning Li. He just wanted to use the bloodline of my Yang family to protect these one or two branches of Ning Li, but there are deeper concerns behind it. What is it—Anhuai and Wanling, the two cave heavens, right?"

Yang Ruiyi lowered his head, listening to his sister say softly:

"Father ultimately did these actions because of private feelings, just wanting to keep a little bloodline in case of need. He didn't want my husband to have any great achievements and stand out, thereby attracting others' attention and receiving reprimands from above, so that no one could be protected in the end. What he hoped for most in his heart was that he could be mediocre, or break through and die, and just pass down the bloodline."

"But how can the bloodline of Ning Li be simple? A sword immortal has just appeared, and the sword immortal is even my husband's elder in the sect... The two cave heavens of Anhuai and Wanling will be opened sooner or later. As a descendant of Ning Li, who knows what opportunities there are?"

"So you pointed him to a dead end without changing your expression, just hoping he would stop at the point. Even these two cave heavens were specially used to keep him away, not letting him have any possibility of touching them... It's really cautious..."

She smiled softly, her face carrying a bit of sorrow mixed with pride:

"But my husband is not an ordinary person. Even if he walks on this dead end of Hongxia, now that Father sees his cultivation growing day by day, he is starting to be afraid in his heart again..."

Yang Xiao'er raised her eyebrows and looked directly at this True Person:

"Brother, am I right?"
