Chapter 1067: Adjustment and Guarding

The night was gloomy, the black waves were surging, a silver light shuttled from the sky, stopped halfway, and rested for a while.

Then saw this silver light manifest as a middle-aged man, wearing a fur coat that was quite elegant, with three silver lights on his brow, holding a technique in his hand, looking around at will.

Since these days, Liu Changdie had lived much more comfortably. The Xu Shui Demon King sent by the dragon clan had explained many plans. Although he still didn't dare to go into the sea, he relied on the protection of the dragon clan to walk in the East Sea and had a few points of freedom.

But Liu Changdie's hesitation was not here, but on Senior Senior Fuxun.

Having received Li Ximing's reminder, Liu Changdie already didn't dare to seek Senior Senior Fuxun at will. After such a long time, he only went this once today.

Senior Senior Fuxun was arranged after all, left alone without management, living quite comfortably, and the monsters under his command gradually became famous in the sea, but the injuries on Senior Senior Fuxun's body became strange.

This injury was healed on the surface, but the damage was in the bone marrow, like a maggot on a tarsal bone, unable to be waved away. Senior Senior Fuxun was miserable, always instructing him to find a cultivator of the Lesser Yang path to heal, making Liu Changdie remain silent.

"In the current situation, I can't even get out of the East Sea. Where can I find a cultivator of the Lesser Yang path for him, and this matter doesn't dare to trouble Ximing..."

He had to put this worry aside, fluttering toward the island, pondering, and soon saw the big island in the distance.

This island was really strange. Looking from afar, it was flat and wide, without any giant peaks standing, but low hills connected, the terrain lower toward the middle, hidden in the light gray spiritual mist.

It was the world-famous 【World Navel】.

He didn't go forward, turned his wind, and went to the immortal mountain at his feet.

Liu Changdie actually knew a few Zifu in the East Sea. He had wandered in the World Navel back then, and formed some fate with the Daoist lineage there. Achieving Zifu and returning, he continued the fate.

Coming here again today, one was for some private matters, and the other... was also the guidance of Xu Shui's words back then:

'In the eyes of Beiyao Niangniang Xuan, the various barbarians cannot watch me, who is favored by the Heavenly Inspection Office, fall...'

This was the title of Xu Shui Demon King himself!

Liu Changdie's cultivation in Zifu was not high, but his knowledge was absolutely first-class. How could he not know 'Si Tian'?

"'Si Tian' is Dou Xuan, offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, deriving divine abilities, measuring mysterious sequences, monitoring all directions..."

Liu Changdie naturally knew that this favor must be his own rebirth. He could live to this day, still looking at the face of Beiyao Niangniang Female Water... so he couldn't help but come to make friends.

He stepped down from the clouds, and soon stopped at the Xuan Mountain on the edge of the island, made the disciples pass the message, and immediately saw a piece of gray color crossing out, manifesting as a person.

This person looked thin, stepping on the clouds lightly, his face as pale as paper, but his lips were red and dripping, his black eyes staring at him, saying:

"Fellow Daoist Liu!"

Liu Changdie replied:

"Senior Cang Tiaozi, long time no see!"

This True Person nodded lightly, leading him all the way in, asking about some recent situations with concern. Liu Changdie couldn't see anything special about him toward himself. He sat down between the tables, and Cang Tiaozi said expressionlessly:

"Fellow Daoist Liu came here, is there any important matter to discuss?"

Liu Changdie knew that 'Cang Tiaozi' was a layer of skin cast by the Female Water divine ability. Being able to walk and talk was already extremely remarkable, and he wouldn't come to make any expressions specifically, so he started to inquire about the movements of the East Sea.

'This matter is not easy to ask, try him first, and then inquire about the Female Water.'

He originally started a topic, but it seemed to fall right on Cang Tiaozi's worry. He shook his head and said:

"It seems that fellow Daoist has also heard of this matter... Many monsters have been folded in the depths of Zhu Zhu Lu Hai. A Great Demon King of the government water who has been avoiding the world for many years has appeared. I don't know how many times he tossed, breaking many monster mansions. Those Zifu monsters have divine abilities far inferior to him, and have to avoid the wind, going to various seas..."

"This can only be counted as a strange thing. It is just that the depths of Zhu Zhu Lu Hai are unusual, pressing the corpse of the Eighth Prince, which is extremely sensitive, so this matter was made very big, attracting the attention of all parties."

The so-called Zhu Zhu Lu Hai not only refers to the color of the seawater, 【Zhu Lu】 actually refers to 【Punishing Lu】, which refers to the matter of this Eighth Prince falling. Liu Changdie naturally knew it, but the two places were far apart, really a bit far, and it shouldn't make this True Person so concerned. Asking carefully, he saw Cang Tiaozi reveal a bit of heartache:

"I refined a Lu water treasure in that place, and now I can't take it back. I don't know which family took it, cheaply benefiting others."

Liu Changdie was not interested in this matter, laughing:

"Fellow Daoist is proficient in the Female Water path, inheriting from Beiyao Niangniang Female Water, actually also has research on Lu water?"

Cang Tiaozi's gaze changed slightly, laughing:

"Female Water is close to all waters, naturally it doesn't matter."

Liu Changdie noticed the other party's taboo, asked about Female Water several times, this person smiled, prevaricated, and had to open his mouth:

"I sent someone to ask a few days ago, is there any news about this 【Guan Yuan Xuan Light】?"

These words made the True Person shake his head repeatedly, saying:

"'Gathering Wood' path is not obvious nowadays, this thing is hard to find. You asked about those... only one thing has news, it is a 'Whole Elixir' spiritual object."

Liu Changdie was overjoyed, asking:

"Is this true!"

The reason why Liu Changdie asked the Zifu of the World Navel was because this place was quite ancient, with many spiritual objects, and the Female Water healing ability was one of the best. This Cang Tiaozi often got favors from others, and the possibility of having these things was the greatest!

Sending people over at that time, not only asked about the spiritual objects he lacked, the Daoist lineage of 'Treasury Gold', but finally kept an eye on it, inquiring about the spiritual objects of the 'Whole Elixir' path————naturally for Li Que Wan.

Li Que Wan's spiritual object matter, Li Ximing had inquired about it, Liu Changdie didn't have it in his hands, but sighed for him:

"This is 【Six Rituals Phase Color】, which can be ranked in the top three among the Whole Elixir spiritual objects. Presumably it is the only one in this Wanling Heaven!"

His heart was naturally joyful:

"The spiritual objects I want to ask about are too rare. I have searched for so many years and haven't found them. It is normal that there is no such thing here, but 'Whole Elixir' has news, which is also worth celebrating!"

Cang Tiaozi listened to his

"What is fake about this... The Quandan spiritual objects were looted by the Jin Yu Sect, and there are none in ordinary places. Only the West Sea has a lineage that also cultivates 'Quandan'."

"Their family originally had a Great True Person of the 'Quandan' path, who fell hastily a few years ago, so the situation of the disciples became increasingly difficult. Now they specifically found me to exchange for Mother Pin Shui to heal their injuries."

Liu Zhangdie was suddenly enlightened, and said with a sense of loss:

"Understood... Actually, this junior also thought of the West Sea, but something happened, and it was not convenient to contact people from the West Sea... In the end, after going around and around, it still requires the West Sea. I wonder what it is?"

Cang Tiaozi spread his palm, and saw a streak of red sand constantly rolling and jumping in his palm. This True Person said:

"【Zhu Miao Jinya Sand】!"

Liu Zhangdie was not surprised, a trace of realization flashed between his brows, and he sighed:

"Sure enough! It is 【Xinggong Terrace】, right!"

Cang Tiaozi shook his head and said:

"Just knowing is enough, no need to mention more."

The 【Xinggong Terrace】 in Liu Zhangdie's mouth was originally a great sect of the West Sea, which was once prosperous for a time. The Great True Person Miao Qi took one step at a time, and in his later years, he crossed the Canzi realm and became one of the top figures in the world.

It is a pity that the West Sea was in turmoil, Great True Person Miao Qi suddenly fell, and another lineage, the 【Xifu Dongyuan Sect】, came from behind. A great battle broke the backbone of 【Xinggong Terrace】, and it never flourished again... This 【Zhu Miao Jinya Sand】 is precisely the capable spiritual object in the hands of the True Person of 【Xinggong Terrace】!

Liu Zhangdie traveled the world and also had traces in the West Sea. He knew the figures of 【Xinggong Terrace】, so he had some melancholy. Cang Tiaozi was much more ruthless and laughed:

"This object is between the Su and Jin paths, and is good at changing into a sky full of vermilion sand treasure rain. If it can be refined into a magic tool or refined into a technique, it will definitely have unimaginable benefits, much better than water and fire!"

Spiritual water and spiritual fire originally had value beyond ordinary spiritual objects. Cang Tiaozi used this object as a comparison, obviously emphasizing its value. Liu Zhangdie hurriedly took out a jade box from his sleeve and showed it to this True Person one by one, but saw Cang Tiaozi shaking his head repeatedly, saying:

"I only hope for 【Yiqi Baihuan Stone】!"

Liu Zhangdie became troubled. The 【Yiqi Baihuan Stone】 on his body was used to exchange for 【Guanyuan Xuanguang】, how could he take it out in advance?

'But if I don't use the 【Yiqi Baihuan Stone】, he has little interest in other spiritual objects, and he will definitely only exchange if I add many more...'

He hesitated again and again, opened his mouth, but ultimately did not speak.

Even if he treated the Li family as his own family, when encountering such an extremely precious thing that would empty his savings, he obviously did not have the determination to decide in an instant. After thinking for a moment, he said:

"Please keep this object for me, Senior. I will go and raise some, ask around, and try to bring out something of equivalent value to exchange for this object."

Cang Tiaozi naturally nodded and sent him out of the mountain all the way. Liu Zhangdie held his hand and begged repeatedly:

"This junior knows that 'Quandan' spiritual objects are scarce now, and many lineages are searching everywhere... But this spiritual object is crucial to this junior, so please keep it for me. I will definitely come to exchange it soon!"

The summer leaves in the mountain drifted down and the autumn yellow sprouted again. On the jade table in the deep cave dwelling, two jade boxes of white jade quality were placed, shining brightly under the light of the Mingyang. The True Person sitting upright in the cave dwelling slowly exhaled and opened his eyes.

He stood up and shook his sleeves. The injuries on his body had healed more than half, and there was no fluctuation of Qi visible on the surface. This obviously exceeded Li Ximing's expectations. He pinched his fingers to calculate and was slightly surprised:

'It has actually been more than a year since I sent the letter to Yang Ruiyi...'

Li Ximing was slightly disappointed, estimating that Situ Huo had already taken over Jiangbei, and his own escape had become a problem. However, he was prepared in his heart, so he did not look disappointed.

'It seems I have to find another opportunity...'

The jade stone in his sleeve buzzed constantly. Li Ximing hurriedly took a step forward and left the cave dwelling. Sure enough, he saw the True Person Chengqian standing in front of the cave dwelling with his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth. Seeing him, he smiled, and the first sentence was actually:

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist!"

Li Ximing was slightly stunned and asked:

"What joy is there?"

True Person Chengqian reached out to invite him out, while smiling and lowering his head to explain:

"News came from the mountain, it's about the transfer of the garrison!"

So he untied the golden scroll in his hand and handed it to Li Ximing. It was clearly written with dozens of characters on it, the general meaning... was to let True Person Xianyao and Sima Yuanli come to Caishan, while Li Ximing and Chengqian would set off immediately to go to Jinghai to quell the demon chaos.

Chengqian explained:

"The Wu Kingdom in the south had already been attacked and destroyed quite a bit, and there was chaos everywhere. True Person Zhusheng came to the north, and that group of demon kings suddenly lost their deterrence and tried to test us shamelessly... That's why you and I need to make a trip!"

If it were a year ago, Li Ximing would definitely have smiled, knowing that Yang Ruiyi had given him this face. But a whole year had passed, which inevitably made him a bit confused. He just suppressed his doubts first, bowed to return the golden scroll, and walked out of the cave dwelling. Sure enough, he saw Qinghu Sima Yuanli waiting before the door.

The two did not say much, drove the wind together to say goodbye, broke into the pitch-black Grand Void, and headed south at high speed.

After leaving this mountain, True Person Chengqian looked much more relaxed, and Li Ximing also breathed a sigh of relief. Finding a gap, he frowned and said:

"For no reason, there is actually a transfer... Has the situation changed this year?"

True Person Chengqian only said:

"Fellow Daoist was in seclusion to heal your injuries, so I didn't dare to disturb you... But there have been quite a few changes this year. They were not big scenes of fighting. Caishan only suffered one or two tests from Lianmin, and it seems they wanted to find out who was guarding it."

"But there were quite a few big events at Tangdao Mountain."

Li Ximing cast a suspicious look, and True Person Chengqian said:

"As soon as Fellow Daoist went into seclusion, news from the mountain came. The Situ Commissioner blocked the northern army, but when he arrived at Tangdao, he suddenly received an order to go south to see the Monarch at the Song Court. He stayed for several months... True Person... had no choice but to stay in the north."

He said this in a way that made Li Ximing thoughtful, and he immediately understood:

'Yang Ruiyi could not return to the wilderness... but was guarding Tangdao Mountain...'

"How did General Yang react?"

True Person Chengqian said:

"I haven't heard of any reaction, but it is rumored privately that the north should still have big moves and must retake Dayuan Guangyin Mountain... This is why General Yang continues to guard this place."

Before Li Ximing could speak, Chengqian continued with a smile:

"Logically speaking, calling him back originally only had a ceremony of worship, but the Situ Commissioner just didn't come back and stayed in the imperial court for a long time, requesting the Song Court to gather the remaining blood descendants of the Situ family and allowing him to re-establish the clan."

Li Ximing narrowed his eyes slightly, realized Situ Huo's intention, and asked:

"How did the Monarch answer him?"

True Person Chengqian looked very polite, and it was impossible to see what his own position was, only saying:

"The Situ family had long had no direct descendants. Fortunately, after a careful investigation, it was discovered that when Tangdao Mountain collapsed, the Ziyan Blessed Land gathered a batch of collateral branches of the Situ family. Now they are still in Yufu and have been bestowed upon Senior Situ."

He sighed with emotion:

"After tossing back and forth for a year, Senior Situ only arrived at Tangdao Mountain a month ago. Our transfer should be an order given by Lord Yang before he left."

Li Ximing heard this and calculated slightly in his heart, remaining silent for a long time:

'The true direct descendants of the Situ family are still in the hands of the Buddhist cultivators. Situ Huo has become a hot figure in the south, and the fate of those direct descendants has also risen with the tide...'

He was just pondering when he saw Chengqian say solemnly:

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Zhaojing!"

Li Ximing was slightly stunned and turned to look at him:

'He also knows it's thanks to my blessing that he doesn't have to guard Caishan... Now everyone is injured, whoever guards the northernmost point is likely to be unlucky... He is quite sharp!'

So he laughed and shook his head, not answering him directly, but laughed:

"When I arrive at the South Sea, I still have some private matters to deal with. I might have to trouble Chengqian."

This young man looked at him thoughtfully twice and hurriedly said:

"Lian understands! Please don't worry, True Person!"

His injuries had healed much better, and he didn't have to guard Caishan. Li Ximing was suddenly in a great mood. He took a talisman from his sleeve and sensed it with his life's divine power:

"Qusi... still needs to head south."
