Chapter 139

Li Tongya returned home. Li Xuanfeng had not yet returned from the prefecture, so he returned to the Meichi Peak cave dwelling, opened the stone door, and tapped his storage bag lightly. A simple long sword instantly appeared in his hand.

"This long sword of Yu Mujian... the material is nothing unusual."

He picked up the long sword to look at it, checked it up and down for a while, and saw the character "Yu" engraved on the hilt, finally understanding where this sense of familiarity came from.

"So it's something from the Lingyu Sect."

Li Tongya moved his spiritual sense, and the river true essence in his body surged out, sinking into this long sword along his palm. White light instantly flickered on the sword.

Li Tongya poured one-tenth of his total magic power into it, and there was instantly the sound of rushing water colliding on the sword. His eyes lit up, and he continued to pile true essence into the sword.

You must know that after receiving the Heavy Sea Long Whale Record, Li Tongya's magic power was shockingly thick. The river true essence condensed by the "Jianghe One Qi Formula" was inherently thick. Now, one-tenth of his magic power was already equivalent to a small half of the magic power of an ordinary early-stage Qi Condensation cultivator. The sound of rushing water colliding on the sword instantly became more intense.

Li Tongya condensed his magic power for several breaths, and one stroke of the "Yu" character at the end of the sword suddenly lit up. A full incense stick of time passed before the "Yu" was completely lit up, consuming a full five-tenths of Li Tongya's true essence.

"It has already far exceeded the peak Qi Condensation cultivator. It seems that this sword was originally used to screen cultivators who cultivated the 'Jianghe One Qi Formula' and reached Foundation Establishment..."

Li Tongya recalled the "Jianghe Great Mausoleum Scripture" and had a plan in his heart, secretly saying:

"Judging from the words of Zhang Yun back then, this 'Jianghe One Qi Formula' is mostly the prerequisite technique for the 'Jianghe Great Mausoleum Scripture.' If we can unlock that jade slip, my family will have a complete Purple Mansion inheritance!"

Thinking of this, the long sword in his hand was already humming, and the sword body flew up, revealing rippling water light on it, projecting lines of text onto the walls of the stone cave.

"'Crossing Jianghe Rushing Flow Steps'?"

Li Tongya was overjoyed. Footwork is the rarest among many techniques. Not to mention the high price, he had never seen any family take it out to sell. He stared at the stone wall where the water light flowed quite excitedly, recording the content of this set of footwork one by one. The sword light flickered for the time of an incense stick before slowly dimming.

This "Crossing Jianghe Rushing Flow Steps" is the footwork of the Lingyu Sect, sealed in the sword by a senior named Xiao Xianyou. The text mentions that he had an epiphany on the Great Mausoleum Jianghe and obtained this set of footwork. At the end of the article, a small trick called "Blood Escape Technique" was attached, which is an escape spell that consumes essence and lifespan, which can save one's life at a critical moment.

"Third-grade footwork 'Crossing Jianghe Rushing Flow Steps.' Xiao Xianyou sealed the Lingyu Sect's inheritance in this sword... Carrying the inheritance with sword light, it seems that this senior's sword path cultivation is also quite profound!"

"With this footwork, my Li family's disciples have a guarantee whether they are fighting the enemy or escaping. It is truly a good thing!"

Maintaining this sword in the air with magic power, Li Tongya bowed slightly to express his gratitude to this senior. A flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, and he muttered with a flash of insight:

"The Li Xia Xiao family uses the Lingyu Sect's technique as their inheritance, and this senior is also surnamed Xiao. Could it be the ancestor of this Li Xia Xiao family?"

Putting away the sword, Li Tongya thought about going to the Xiao family to ask carefully one day, took a jade slip, and carefully recorded it with his spiritual sense.

Li Xuanfeng entered a fur shop, called several Qi Condensation-level clerks, and took out the bear pieces that had been frozen and sealed with spells in the brocade bag, which instantly clattered on the ground.

"See how many spirit stones this is worth!"

The clerks nodded repeatedly. Seeing that it was a Qi Condensation-level demon, they hurriedly called the shopkeeper out. The Qi Condensation cultivator in fur clothes estimated it and smiled:

"Fellow Daoist, the flesh and blood of this bear are full of spiritual energy and it hasn't been dead long. It's worth twenty-one spirit stones."

Li Xuanfeng nodded. He had been hunting demons for many years and was very familiar with the ins and outs of this. This price was not much different from his estimate, so he nodded readily, and the money and goods were settled.

After putting away the twenty-one spirit stones, Li Xuanfeng felt comfortable earning this money. He walked a few steps with a smile when a young man in a fox fur coat walked toward him, stared at Li Xuanfeng, and smiled:

"Brother Xuanfeng, we meet again!"

"Brother Changdie!"

Li Xuanfeng cupped his hands and responded. The person who came was Liu Changdie, holding several jade beads in his hand, his fox fur coat as white as snow, and said:

"Changdie is looking for a magic material for an array in this market, but I didn't expect to see Brother Xuanfeng! It's rare. Come, come, come, follow me to sit for a while, I'll treat you!"

After speaking, he pulled Li Xuanfeng and was about to enter a restaurant in the market. Li Xuanfeng was also in a good mood, smiled and nodded, and followed him into the restaurant.

"Is the Yi Xuan Light Array still running well that day?"

"It's good!"

The two ordered a few dishes, sent wine up, and chatted for a while. Liu Changdie thought for a few breaths and secretly said:

"It's only a dozen years away from that demonic disaster. I don't know if the person in front of me has any news, but the ones suffering are the Qingchi Sect and the Tangjin Sect. Li Xuanfeng may not know."

Liu Changdie changed his mind and secretly said:

"Better ask. What if there's some harvest?"

So he smiled at Li Xuanfeng and said seemingly casually:

"Brother Xuanfeng, do you know a person named Jiang Yan?"

"Jiang Yan?"

Li Xuanfeng thought for a breath, had no clue, and smiled:

"Never heard of him. Why? Are you looking for this person?"

"Haha, just asking!"

Liu Changdie hurriedly changed the subject, feeling quite helpless in his heart. He thought he could show his talents in this life, but he didn't expect that apart from the faster cultivation from scratch and the array path cultivation he brought back, there was almost nothing else he could use.

The strong people of the previous life had not yet risen, but they had never publicized how they rose in the previous life, making it impossible for Liu Changdie to start grabbing opportunities ahead of others. He only remembered some major events of the previous life, and at least he was related to several potential stocks.

"Brother Xuanfeng, what do you think is the meaning of a person's life?"

Li Xuanfeng was stunned, somewhat unable to laugh or cry, waved his hand and said:

"Just for a moment of pleasure!"

Once these words were spoken, a dashing and uninhibited momentum instantly appeared on his body. Looking at Liu Changdie's look of disbelief, he said:

"Brother Xuanfeng's words are almost demonic, quite close to what the demonic path that stirs up the world says..."

Li Xuanfeng laughed, picked up a piece of demon beast meat, drank a sip of wine, and said with a smile:

"Righteous path or demonic path, now the upper sect treats human life like grass, what is the difference from the demonic path? The lower people are just struggling to survive. Xuanfeng doesn't care about many things in this world. As long as my family is not bullied by others, Li Xuanfeng can drink and eat meat dashingly. Who cares if the world collapses!"

Putting down the wine cup, Li Xuanfeng said sternly:

"Eight or nine out of ten things in life are unsatisfactory. When you are unsatisfactory, grit your teeth and get through it. When you are proud, you must enjoy yourself quickly, otherwise, if you die one day, wouldn't it be too much of a loss!"

"Brother Xuanfeng is really..."

Liu Changdie gave a bitter smile. Seeing his dashing appearance, he also felt a sense of relaxation in his heart. Since his rebirth, he had calculated everything, tired to the point of dizziness. It was quite relaxing to be with Li Xuanfeng.

"But Brother Xuanfeng, under the eyes of everyone, words cannot be said too clearly."

Liu Changdie carefully looked around. There were few people in the flow of people today, and there were no guests early in the morning. He breathed a sigh of relief and raised his cup to smile at Li Xuanfeng.

When raising the wine cup, the old man named Xu San suddenly appeared in front of Li Xuanfeng. His heart tightened, and he muttered:

"Xu San, you just wait. When there is an opportunity, I will also let the Tangjin Sect see some blood!"
