Senior Li Li Tongya was just in time for the robbery of the Yuan Huzhong market when he was young. Later, he sneaked into it and used the water-control technique to take out a jade box from the array eye. It was light cyan and covered with mysterious patterns, empty inside.

Although the senior did not get the treasure inside, he noticed that the material of this box was special and could store treasures, so he carried it with him and passed it down, later used to store the Sword Canon.

Li Xi-ming did not understand sword techniques and had very little contact with this object, so he should not have recognized it. However, when the Li clan unified Wangyue back then and unlocked the Yuan Huzhong market's forbidden array, Li Li Xijun specially took out the jade box to observe it in order to study the array in the continent. Li Xi-ming took a look at it on the side and had a memory of it.

Seeing a Early Zifu cultivator send this thing up carefully and cautiously, how could Li Xi-ming not be surprised? But it was not the time to ask in detail. He pinched a formula, and the "Heavenly Clarity" operated. The invisible light of the Six Harmonies immediately condensed at his fingertips, calculating carefully.

Li Xi-ming's slight daze was not noticed by Yan Duishui. He took out a black jade piece from his sleeve and sent it to Li Xi-ming's hand, whispering:

"Trouble Fellow Daoist to stick this talisman to your brow, only then can you see the spiritual object… This object is extremely strange. If it weren't for being locked here by this 【Soul-Listening Tinghun Sangmu】, I'm afraid it would have drifted away to who knows where long ago."

"It's just that when elevating this object, it might reduce some lifespan… I won't take a single bit of the 【Soul-Listening Tinghun Sangmu】, I'll give it all to you as compensation!?"

Li Xi-ming had the Immortal Mirror in his hand and saw it clearly, but he still accepted it solemnly and used the talisman, thoughtful.

The spiritual object before his eyes was extremely mysterious. The spiritual sense of a dignified Early Zifu cultivator swept over it, but he saw that it was empty, without any detection. Only when the light of the Six Harmonies brushed over it did it show one or two abnormalities…

The light of the Six Harmonies in his hand is the only life divine ability of Bright Yang, with the purpose of balancing heaven and earth and asking about the universe. On weekdays, it can sense the fate and energy filling the world, filling everywhere. If observing the world with spiritual sense is like looking at an empty house with all kinds of objects in it, then observing the world with the light of the Six Harmonies is like being in a vast ocean, with all kinds of objects at the bottom, and the difference is not big.

But in this cave dwelling, the spiritual sense feels that the surroundings are empty, and the light of the Six Harmonies only feels that the tree stump is also empty—it immediately became different. The vast ocean doesn't even have 【water】, isn't it even more obvious?

"Exiled Qi can swallow energy. If this object is made into a weapon, I'm afraid it will pass through someone's body before they react!"

He praised it secretly, pushed the spiritual object forward silently with the 【Light of the Six Harmonies】, and lifted it lightly!

The divine ability dharma power in Li Xi-ming's body immediately poured out at a terrifying speed, as if lifting a great mountain made of mysterious stone. The light of the Six Harmonies shook violently, but only made the feather drift slightly.

This drift made Yan Duishui's eyes suddenly brighten, and his heart thumped:

"What the adult said is true! This object cannot be lifted by divine abilities, nor can it be detected by spiritual sense. Only by the principles of heaven and earth, the place where all spirits bow, and the unity of heaven, earth, and man, can it be sensed… Fortunately, 'Heavenly Clarity' is useful!?"

But he was pleasantly surprised, while Li Xi-ming's expression changed suddenly.

When driving this feather, his own life divine ability declined rapidly, and the light of the Six Harmonies was constantly damaged. This was truly eroding his divine ability cultivation!

"What a terrifying speed!

He felt his scalp tingle for a while, and the divine ability dharma power poured into it like a waterfall. The feather finally drifted into the jade box. Strange to say, the spiritual object, which weighed ten thousand jun, fell into the box and became as light as a white feather, without half a point of weight.

At this moment, Li Xi-ming was already pale, the talisman on his brow turned to ashes, and he forced himself to use the light of the Six Harmonies to collect the black Qi of the cave dwelling, lock it into the box for nurturing, and adjusted his breath for several breaths on the spot before he had blood color on his face.

"How dangerous… if it weren't for the talisman between my brows blocking a lot for me… I'm afraid I would have suffered some internal injuries."

He ensured that his body was fine, then sealed the jade box and sent it to Yan Duishui's hand, saying:

"Congratulations!"

Yan Duishui nodded heavily with red eyes and pointed to the wooden stump on the stone platform, saying:

"【Soul-Listening Tinghun Sangmu】, Fellow Daoist, please help yourself."

Although 【Soul-Listening Tinghun Sangmu】 can be taken with divine abilities, Li Xi-ming still probed it several times cautiously, reached out to collect the things, looked around, and recorded the various runes, secretly thinking:

"This place is narrow and long, it looks like a coffin.

He suspected that the good things were scattered around. While collecting some black Qi into the bottle, he looked at Yan Duishui. The old man looked conflicted, and as he looked around with him, he seemed very nostalgic, and also seemed to be hesitating about something, finally stepping forward.

The incense in the front hall was bright, and the incense had shortened by a section. The blackness in the great hall seemed to be even thicker, and one could not see one's fingers.

Li Xi-ming took another look and found that there was a passage on the other side. Seeing that Yan Duishui didn't mean to take him inside, his heart moved. He walked forward slowly on the surface, but secretly operated the immortal tool again.

In an instant, the fog drifted away, the patterns on the wall were clearly visible, and the six stone lamps in the other passage appeared before his eyes in an instant, extending all the way to the depths. At the end of the passage was a smooth stone wall.

The patterns on the wall were thin, and it seemed that a small gloomy array was drawn, revealing a mysterious feeling of the Witch Talisman path.

"This place is not big… but just a house."

Li Xi-ming had no time to study it. The two crossed the threshold and went outside. The cave dwelling was shrouded in blackness that was difficult to see. When the two exited the place together and stepped into the Great Void, looking back, the place seemed to have vanished.

Li Xi-ming's expression was slightly unusual, and he had already secretly remembered the place. Turning to look at Yan Duishui, the old man was completely unaware, holding the box in his arms in a daze, muttering:

"The treasure passed down by ancestors for thousands of years has fallen into the hands of others."

Li Xi-ming knew that he must hand it over to Mount Jiuqiu. The front and back were originally Mount Jiuqiu promoting this matter, but Yan Duishui's lifespan was running out, and the juniors were incompetent, what else could he do?

"The treasure passed down by ancestors is for the descendants to protect the clan… it doesn't matter whose hands it falls into… other families envy the opportunity to make friends with Mount Jiuqiu."

But these were all polite words. Even Li Xi-ming, who was standing beside him, did not have much pity at this moment, but cast his eyes on the jade box in his hand, comforted him a few words, revealed a bit of envy, and asked:

"This trip has truly opened my eyes, but… what is this box? It can easily store things of Exiled Qi that are known as untraceable!?"

Yan Duishui was restless, turned his head to look at him hurriedly, and smiled reluctantly:

"This object was borrowed for me by True Person Senior Lingdu of Mount Jiuqiu, specially prepared for this matter… Not only can you not see the origin of this object, Fellow Daoist, but I also can't see it clearly."

Li Xi-ming nodded, didn't say much, and the two didn't say a word, tacitly heading toward Mount Jiuqiu Mountain. Not until the red leaves of the mountain entered his eyes did he hear Yan Duishui sigh:

"What the Fellow Daoist said is also true. Ancestors have tried it many times and couldn't take this thing out. Without this jade box, it's just entering a treasure mountain and returning empty-handed, leaving it in place in vain…"

The two entered the mountain. Li Xi-ming found that Senior Lingdu was still sitting quietly at the table, reading a Daoist book, seemingly not having moved since he left, waiting for the two to return together.

Yan Duishui bowed respectfully at the table and smiled:

"Adult… Lin Yi has come to visit… the things have been retrieved for you."

Li Xi-ming had thought about the high status of the Mount Jiuqiu orthodoxy, but hadn't thought it was to this extent, and was secretly clicking his tongue, but Senior Lingdu was very natural, letting the two sit down with a smile, putting the jade box away, and raising his eyebrows:

"Thank you both for your hard work."

This old man didn't open it, but took out a pottery coin from his sleeve, only two fingers wide, thin as a cicada's wing, and placed it on the jade box. The side facing up was pitch black and shiny, with four characters written on it:

【Serve the dead as if they were alive】

He put it down, and the pottery coin was driven by some invisible force, jumping and turning by itself, flipping the side facing down up, revealing four characters:

【The most obscure is the holy】

Obviously, after leaving that ghost mansion, this jade box could no longer be opened. Senior Lingdu used a special method to detect whether there was truly a spiritual object inside. He was satisfied and put the things away, saying to Yan Duishui:

"I have asked myself, except for the Tianyi Chunyuan that deals with you, the Chi Zhiyan Peak is willing to form a connection and provide for three descendants of your clan. As for whether they can achieve divine abilities, it depends on your family's good fortune."

Yan Duishui nodded silently and thanked him repeatedly, not speaking for a long time. Senior Lingdu smiled and looked at Li Xi-ming, saying:

"Congratulations, Can Zhaojing!"

Li Xi-ming gained a lot this time. Although he lost a lot of cultivation, these things can eventually be made up for with elixirs, but the 【Soul-Listening Tinghun Sangmu】 the size of a table board can never be seen again.

His thoughts had been sinking on the jade box, and now that he was reminded, he felt joy:

"Li Zhouwei… I… Li Jiangqian… Li Quewan… the soul lamps are completely enough, even a drop in the bucket. Even if I cut two palm-sized pieces to give to Monk Minghui, the rest is enough to squander… I can even research some consumables for life-saving and splitting shapes…"

【Soul-Listening Tinghun Sangmu】 can be considered precious. It is only heard that a few solar orthodoxies have it inside, passed down from ancestors, specially supplied to the Early Zifu. Back then, Senior Changxi of the Brother Xuan-yue Sect used the Jade Seat Golden Silver Pattern Soul Lamp, which was sensed with Earth and Jade treasures. It is a large life jade, but divine abilities can be passed down for a long time without constant nurturing. It is not troublesome for the Early Zifu to use it themselves.

He was in a good mood, while Yan Duishui was full of melancholy and didn't speak. Li Xi-ming used the old trick again, asking about the mysterious box. Senior Lingdu shook his head with a smile, his expression gradually becoming solemn, and replied:

"If this object is truly calculated… it should be the thing of True Person Taixu."

Li Xi-ming was stunned, and even Yan Duishui raised his head, his face showing an unbelievable expression, and asked:

"It is actually so noble!"

Senior Lingdu sighed gloomily and replied:

"At that time… True Person Taixu had not yet achieved the Dao, and was cultivating in the Mirage Mirror Cave Heaven… which was commonly known as the Qingsong Mirage Realm at that time. After all, the Qingsong path had three ups and three downs, and there were many continuations, so a Qingsong View is uncertain."

"It is rumored that there were several seats, and among the seats, the immortal left jade boxes for the disciples, corresponding to Xiuyue, Changhuai, Hengzhu, Jianmen, Ziyan, and Mount Qingchi."

"This object is one of them, it is the one of True Person Taixu."

He looked at Li Xi-ming with deep eyes and said:

"Your family has also been in there, so you should have seen it."

"Qingsong Island!

Li Xi-ming's heart was even more shocked:

"If so, which one is this one in my hand!"

Li Xi-ming thought of thousands of things and nodded silently. Senior Lingdu continued:

"When the True Persons opened this realm, there were six of them. Changhuai and Hengzhu were empty, Mount Qingchi and Ziyan were lost, Jianmen retrieved it, and Xiuyue's belonged to Xiukui…"

He specifically said Xiukui, paused slightly, and seeing that Li Xi-ming was not surprised, understood that he also knew about the past of Xiukui, and stroked his beard:

"The lost one was in the hands of a cultivator. He was originally a person with Fire Virtue fate and was extremely talented. Our Great True Person thought highly of him, cared for him a lot, acted as a matchmaker, and returned the Ziyan one. Great True Person Zimu accepted the things inside, and this jade box was requested to be kept by our Dao."

Hearing this, Li Xi-ming was shocked and speechless for a moment.

The Li family was involved in the jade box matter back then! The True Person mentioned by the other party was most likely the Tu Tu Longjian who was hiding overseas and keeping a low profile!

"It is actually Senior Junjian!"

"Senior Junjian actually has a deep friendship with the Mount Jiuqiu orthodoxy! Not only that, but he was also enlightened by this Great True Person of the Yuan Dao, which allowed him to avoid Jiangnan early and go to the North Sea!

All the clues were connected, making him silent and solemn, his heart shocked:

"When did this happen… Does it mean that he was a chess piece laid out by the Mount Jiuqiu orthodoxy early on! Why was he able to escape when the True Persons blocked the Great Void back then? I'm afraid it was this Great True Person who helped him! Only with his divine ability and cultivation could he have the ability to protect the senior silently under the eyes of the True Persons!"

"And was this Great True Person's motive for this jade box?"

He wanted to speak but stopped. His first reaction was to suspect whether Mount Jiuqiu orthodoxy's favor for him came from this Senior Tu Tu Longjian! But he lowered his head to look at Senior Lingdu, only to find that he was completely unaware, and didn't have any eye hints because of mentioning Tu Tu Longjian.

The old man talked down very naturally:

"This object cannot be said to be very precious. It was originally an ordinary object. It is just that it experienced the achievement of the Dao by the True Persons, and this box has the meaning of being passed down from master to disciple, so it received one or two points of the aura of the noble position, and from then on it became extraordinary and refined, and it is naturally no problem to accommodate those rare treasures."

He felt somewhat emotional, shook his head and said:

"The Early Zifu has already achieved divine abilities. The vast majority of things allowed to circulate in this world cannot escape the eyes of divine abilities. By the time it reaches the Early Zifu, it is difficult to see the materials and guess the origin. Nine out of ten are items used by this kind of True Person…"

He felt somewhat emotional:

"These items have not entered the eyes of the adult, so there will be no specific mysteries. They are of no use in the hands of small cultivators. At most, they are stronger. Even in the hands of great figures like the Great True Person, they are just collecting a taste of Exiled Qi."

Yan Duishui listened to such a secret, and his mind had eased a lot, and he couldn't help asking:

"What if it enters the eyes and has mysteries."

Senior Lingdu turned to look at him and smiled:

"You can't run away. When the time comes, your life will be gone. Then why don't you kneel down and kowtow? Think about whether you have a life, and you still want to pick it up!"
