Chapter 1066: Not Purple Clothes
The one who came alone to the Zhi Xuan Pavilion was naturally Guangchan. He stood in the palace with his sleeves tucked, appearing both awkward and helpless, replying:
"Wei Lord's guidance was sincere... but I misunderstood the meaning!"
Guangchan left the Zhi Xuan Pavilion, Wei Wei Xuan Yin knew he would inevitably obey orders and go south. He gave two more reminders out of the kindness of the Tao family, but this monk wouldn't listen? In his heart, he had long sneered, feeling that it was Wei Wei Xuan Yin who wanted to swallow the creation of Mingyang himself, so he blocked him. Now that he returned with a gray face, he realized that what Wei Wei Xuan Yin said was not wrong at all.
This white-clothed man stood up from the main seat, flicking his sleeves, sighing:
"The battle between North and South lies in the dark and light chess. The North plays white, pressing people with momentum, and the South plays black, controlling with strangeness. Li Ximing is a light chess, Yang Ruiyi will definitely find a way to protect him. You want to kill him by surprise, but the only way you can surprise him is the Treasure Tooth Golden Land."
A different color appeared in his pupils, asking:
"But are you really willing? If the Treasure Tooth Golden Land appears on the lake, controlled by others, and the Dharma Realm helps, the fate is sufficient, and it will definitely take the Golden Land back. Can you afford to gamble?"
Guangchan sighed endlessly, replying:
"The Lord spoke clearly, but this small heart of mine couldn't listen to the advice. The fate of cutting Mingyang is good, but losing the Golden Land, who knows who will cut whom in the future..."
He was a person who came to ask for help, lowered his posture, belittled himself, and then said his intention:
"It's just... whether I can still work for the Lord and stay in Jiangbei..."
This monk had a clear mind. The Great Mu Dharma Realm hoped he would stay in Jiangbei, but Great Yangshan suffered heavy losses this time. Many people on the mountain were staring at the Dharma Realm. There must be someone to take the blame. If Qi Lanyan was still aggressive, Jiang Tou Shou would file a complaint, and the responsibility would be pushed, he would inevitably not be able to stay.
The one who could appease Qi Lanyan... was naturally this master of Zhi Xuan Pavilion.
But Wei Wei Xuan Yin's expression was calm, shaking his head:
"On the day of the meeting of the various Daos, Fellow Daoist Yao has already decided that Qi Shizhi will fully command the affairs of Jiangbei, and I will control Shu. Why does Jieyi have to come and ask me?"
Guangchan was blocked by him, even more awkward, pacing two steps anxiously. Wei Wei Xuan Yin sighed:
"Go back to Jiangbei. This matter still requires you and Qi Shizhi to talk in person—go and see him boldly."
Guangchan was designed by Qi Lanyan to be miserable. Where would he still dare to see him? He was about to open his mouth to beg for mercy, but seeing Wei Wei Xuan Yin's expression, he took the words back and pondered thoughtfully.
Wei Wei Xuan Yin remained silent.
This nephew was determined to be at the top of Jiangbei. How could he let go of such a big help as Guangchan?
"He doesn't care who hinders Mingyang, as long as he can make the possibility of Wei King seeking gold smaller, or even kill him... Buddhist cultivators certainly have this wish, but they can only count as half an ally—they hope that the cause and effect of Mingyang will fall into their own path, not in the hands of others, so they interfere with each other... He wants to concentrate the power..."
He pondered for a moment, and Guangchan had gradually realized, knowing that his current position of breaking the game was here, and his heart was filled with joy:
"No wonder! No wonder Jiang Tou Shou has already sent a letter to Great Yangshan, but Qi Lanyan has no news. I thought it was suppressed by Wei Wei Xuan Yin! It turns out it was for this reason!"
He was overjoyed, thanked him repeatedly and said goodbye, and hurried out. His figure immediately disappeared at the edge of the vast stairs of Zhi Xuan Pavilion. Wei Wei Xuan Yin watched him go, stood up from the main seat, raised his left hand, and flattened it again, revealing a white-as-jade palm.
A flickering color jumped from his palm. Wei Wei Xuan Yin's figure changed bit by bit, his shoulders narrowed, his long hair flew, his eyes became more and more rounded, gradually revealing a dark gray brilliance.
He listened for a long time, his eyes flickering, and after waiting for the moon to rise to the firmament, he took a jade bottle from his sleeve.
The jade bottle was about a finger long, with a white jade stopper. It shook slightly and shattered, bursting out a purple-white energy that rose and changed, constantly circling his fingertips.
But Wei Wei Xuan Yin remained silent, always staring at this energy, his brows tightly locked:
"This is the fourth one... this is the last one left by Fellow Daoist Yao... it cannot fail."
This thing didn't look eye-catching, but its preciousness was indescribable. It was the last divine ability that could be used to cultivate the 'Jue Yin' path, 【Boundless Que Yin】, the life divine ability 'Not Purple Clothes'!
In today's world, 【Boundless Que Yin】 had already been cut off. To get this spiritual energy, it must be transformed from the spiritual energy of the 'Taiyin' path, 【Yin Run Yi Qi】, through various changes.
But 'Taiyin' had been hidden for many years, 【Taiyin Moon Essence】 was used less and less, and 【Yin Run Yi Qi】 was the same. Although many were left in the Yuan Prefecture in the south, they were ultimately limited. If this failure happened again... Wei Wei Xuan Yin's path of seeking the Dao would likely be shelved for ten or twenty or even thirty years!
This made Wei Wei Xuan Yin stare at the spiritual energy in his palm, his expression uncertain, pondering in his heart.
'Not Purple Clothes' was the most difficult divine ability to achieve in the Jue Yin path. It was also called 'Covering and Hiding Clothes' back then. If achieved with the orthodox Daoist lineage, it could cover negligence, level mistakes, become leakless, and complete the Yin body, corresponding to the perfection of divine abilities. It was the last divine ability to be cultivated.
Of course, in the Daoist lineage of Zong Chang, it was called 'Li Yi Chen', barely a substitute, and didn't need 【Boundless Que Yin】. The imagery had completely fallen into the demonic path, and it didn't have to be so difficult.
"But no matter how difficult, it shouldn't make me fail three times!"
Wei Wei Xuan Yin was an unparalleled genius with high Dao practice. Although he couldn't compare to Wei Guanyan, the ancestor who founded the 【Guan Hua Heaven Building Dao】, the years of cultivation had already made him exceed his late master Tao Ping... and Tao Ping only failed twice in cultivating 'Not Purple Clothes'!
"Could it be that time has changed, and this path has changed? But after so many years, Mingyang has not revived, and no one has achieved Jue Yin..."
This mystery stained his heart like a shadow. Wei Wei Xuan Yin finally withdrew his hand. The shattered jade bottle condensed again in his palm like time flowing backward, binding the spiritual energy. He placed the jade bottle on the table and remained silent.
"... If there is a legacy in the Yuan Prefecture, it is possible that the Solar families have it..."
The clouds drifted between the mountains, the vibration in the distance faded rapidly, and the white snow scattered from the treetops, piling up by the jade stool. Li Ximing stood alone on the top of the mountain, pacing and pondering.
"The people of Great Yangshan have retreated to Bianyan..."
He stepped two steps on the mountain in disbelief, lifted the golden scroll in his hand, and read the big characters written on it. Li Ximing read it again and again and sighed:
"Appointed as General of Pinghuai, and also Festival Envoy of Tang Jin..."
This reward could not be said to be small. Tang Jin Festival Envoy was already comparable to Liu Bai's Jinghai Protector, and added a General of Pinghuai, which could be said to be the head of the military generals, almost controlling the situation in the entire North.
Now that the Buddhist cultivators had retreated and the dust had settled, once Yang Ruiyi returned to the wilderness and stared at Shanjie, Tangdao Mountain would be handed over to Situ Huo, and the land of Caishan and Baijiang would all be commanded by Situ Huo.
"Cheng Qian or I, or even Tinglan... now all belong to his command."
He laughed bitterly:
"It turned out to be Situ Huo!"
These words made the man on the side shake his head slightly, replying:
"Thinking about it now, it should be him..."
The man was not tall, his expression was cautious, his face was as white as jade, with a cinnabar point on his brow, and the spiritual machine on his body was unpredictable. He stood quietly on the top of the mountain, really having an out-of-the-world atmosphere.
His surname was Lian, name Wo, it was True Person Cheng Qian of Guoling Peak, cultivating the 'Whole Elixir' path. He was not old, and was a proud disciple of the Zifu loose cultivator True Person Xian Yao.
True Person Xian Yao cultivated in Guoling Peak, and was very old. Li Ximing had also heard of this Daoist lineage, but had never seen his disciples walk in the world. He asked carefully and found out that True Person Xian Yao was a loose cultivator.
"True Person Xian Yao did not establish a sect, but stood his own immortal mountain high in the firmament, and used a great formation to hide it, thus isolating himself from many small cultivators... There were no disciples in the mountain, only a few disciples and relatives, so he was called a loose cultivator."
Although he was also a loose cultivator, True Person Xian Yao was undoubtedly more thorough than True Person Chang Xi. Sometimes True Person Chang Xi was scolded by people, calling him a loose cultivator, but in fact, he was also a Daoist lineage, and no one cared.
Seeing that Cheng Qian was easy to talk to, and asking about the time, it was when the Great Ning Palace fell that he achieved the Dao. His age was older than Li Ximing.
But even so, he was still very humble in front of Li Ximing. Originally, he called him senior, but was persuaded by Li Ximing a few times, and now changed to fellow Daoist, still polite.
Li Ximing had been at Caishan at the foot of the mountain for a period of time, and had mixed with him as an acquaintance:
"This person has not been in the world for long, but he is very intelligent. It is almost impossible to see that he had been cultivating in the mountain before Zifu—after all, it is almost impossible to become a Zifu as a loose cultivator without a bit of intelligence."
Now listening to his words, Li Ximing turned his head to ask:
"Why do you see it?"
True Person Cheng Qian smiled modestly and said:
"My ancestor had a friendship with him and met him several times. The spiritual boots on his feet are powerful, obtained by Situ Tang from a mountain. If we talk about spiritual boots alone, there should be no pair in Jiangnan that can compare. Having survived to this day, he will inevitably throw himself into the North or South, it's just a matter of which path."
Li Ximing nodded, shook his sleeves, and that 【Divine Split Body】 had already returned to its peak, round and perfect, faintly flashing with gloomy light, even looking more vivid than the original.
"【Taiyin Moon Essence】 is really powerful, 【Divine Split Body】 has recovered to its peak, much faster than the speed of my healing..."
This injury was similar to the battle with Helian Wujiang, but with the assistance of 【Divine Split Body】, it was undoubtedly much lighter. Coupled with the end of the battle on the lake and the retreat of Guangchan and others, to prevent further conflict, Li Ximing took a 【Treasure Star Body God Elixir】. This ancient elixir fell into his abdomen, and the effect was excellent, but no matter what, it was not a matter of a few days.
"Guangchan..."
This monk's power far exceeded Li Ximing's imagination. Besides being a descendant of Mingyang, the most important thing was the four words that hovered in the mouths of Tinglan and others:
【Treasure Tooth Golden Land】.
Although Li Ximing heard it half-understood, he vaguely felt that it was the 【Treasure Tooth Temple】 that bound him during the battle, 80-90% presumably the wonder that collected people one after another.
"The first layer is the square in front of the temple, the second layer is the palace of the five golden bodies, and there was a deeper inner room, but it was interrupted by the Xuan cow..."
The reason why Li Ximing took out the 【Chang Long Pearl】 immediately was because he felt a not-shallow sense of crisis... Tinglan mentioned that this person was even more powerful in the north. Who knows if he had already been restricted on the lake!
"Guangchan will inevitably be a heart-trouble in the future. 【Treasure Tooth Golden Land】 must be asked about. I heard that this object was left by the famous King Jinming... If it can assist Mingyang, it must be an excellent thing."
He specifically asked the True Person beside him, but unfortunately Cheng Qian didn't know anything and had never even heard of this object, so he had to give up. But the 【Divine Split Body】 had been perfected, and Li Ximing's heart had already calculated early:
"The North cultivators have retreated, and there is no ability to attack in a short time. Presumably there is an opportunity to get away, go to the overseas..."
There was also an object in his sleeve, a crystal clear glass bead the size of a fist, the 【Chang Long Pearl】 given to him by the old True Person of Qusi Mountain, which once sealed a 【Xiaoyao Xuan Cow】.
This battle, this 【Chang Long Pearl】 gave him great help, it could be said to be important. Li Ximing pondered again and again, and should also go to Qusi Mountain to return this object to its original owner to express his gratitude.
"Since he sent the 【Chang Long Pearl】 to the lake urgently, he presumably knows the power of 【Treasure Tooth Golden Land】, and helped specifically... 80-90% is clear!"
On the other hand, Li Ximing knew deeply that there would be no pie falling from the sky. The more enthusiastic Qusi Mountain was, the more doubts he had:
"It is good that the Qusi lineage is friendly to me, but I cannot gradually owe a big favor, and must ask clearly about its plot before making plans for advance or retreat."
Of course, this was just one of the reasons for him to get away... Equally important was the appearance of this Tang Jin Festival Envoy Situ Huo!
"Yang Ruiyi's attitude toward me has always been good. If I open my mouth personally to let me go out, he will nod and agree 80-90%... But once Yang Ruiyi returns to the wilderness and Situ Huo takes charge of Tangdao Mountain, things will be completely different!"
Li Ximing naturally understood that the relationship between his own family and the Tang Jin Sect was not good at all, and even had great grudges. It was just that Situ Tang's ability to cause trouble was greater, offending everyone, so the grudge between his own family and the Tang Jin Sect seemed lighter...
Even so, Li Ximing was not willing to be driven under him. Taking advantage of the fact that power had not yet been handed over, it was best to get away in time, and also avoid many troubles later!
Thus, pretending to heal, he entered the cave heaven, immediately took out a golden scroll, his words were sincere, saying that he was alone and weak, wanting to borrow the power of Qusi to guard the mountain for the Great Song, sent the golden scroll into the Great Void, immediately calmed his mind and spirit, and seized the time to heal his injuries.
"Even if I can't get away, I should heal my injuries quickly to deal with the trouble that may come..." ===== CHAPTER 1067 =====
Li Ximing certainly understood that the relationship between his family and the Tangjin Sect could not be good at all, and there was even great enmity. It was just that Situ Tang had a greater ability to cause trouble, offending everyone to death, so it seemed that his family's enmity with the Tangjin Sect was lighter instead...
Even so, Li Ximing was equally unwilling to be driven under him. Taking advantage of the fact that power had not yet been handed over, it was best to withdraw in time, which could also avoid many troubles later!
So, he feigned healing and entered his cave dwelling. He immediately pulled out a golden scroll, his words earnest, saying that he was alone and weak, and wished to borrow the power of Qusi to guard the mountain for the Great Song. He sent the golden scroll into the Grand Void, immediately cleared his mind and calmed his spirit, and seized the time to heal his injuries.
'Even if I cannot withdraw, I should heal my injuries quickly to deal with the troubles that may come...'
