Chapter 235: Paying Respects to the True Person

Tian Youdao heard this and just looked at him expressionlessly. Tian Zhongqing was stunned for a moment, suddenly understood, his hands stopped shaking, and his tears stopped flowing. He just bowed slowly and said in a low, desolate voice:

"Your nephew understands."

Unexpectedly, Tian Youdao snorted coldly and replied:

"It hasn't come to that yet."

Tian Zhongqing was about to say his last words with his eyes closed, but upon hearing this, his eyes widened. Between the great ups and downs, he coughed twice and said hoarsely:

"Zhongqing is not a person who fears death!"

A smile finally appeared on Tian Youdao's face, but it quickly returned to indifference. He kept a straight face and said:

"Who told Rong'er to be a piece of trash..."

Tian Zhongqing knew that the Tian Rong mentioned by Tian Youdao was Tian Youdao's eldest son and his only offspring. It was a pity that he did not inherit his talent and was a playboy who only knew how to fight chickens, walk dogs, eat, drink, and play. This was the greatest regret of Tian Youdao's life.

"Looking at the disciples of the Tian clan, it is one thing that their talent is mediocre, but they don't even know how to restrain themselves. I really hate to beat one every time I see one. Tian Rong is even more of a piece of trash among trash. Only you possess spiritual apertures and can protect the family business."

Tian Youdao waved his hand, his expression somewhat low, and changed the subject, saying in a deep voice:

"This is not the time to talk about this. The only plan now is to beg one person."

"Who?"

Tian Zhongqing hurriedly raised his head, only to see Tian Youdao ponder slightly and say:

"Li Jingtian."

————

"Come to Xianyou Peak."

This sentence was as plain as water, the voice was old, but it exploded in Li Tongya's ears like a thunderclap. He recognized it as Senior Xiao Chuting's voice in an instant. Both happy and terrified, the jade chopsticks in his hand paused slightly and were quickly put down.

He responded respectfully, watching the crowd around him who were unaware. At this time, the Dharma assembly had almost reached its end. The disciples of the Immortal Sect at the head had all left, and there were few Foundation Establishment families left. Li Tongya stood up, flew away from the formation, and headed toward the mountain.

Watching the rushing Yue River beneath his feet and the pine and cypress trees dotted among the mountains, Li Tongya's suspicious nature made him hesitate again. Although he had no reaction on the surface, his heart was like a raging sea.

"Senior Xiao Chuting's 'Old Man on the Creek' and my Vast Sea happen to be... He has also taken care of me many times. The coincidences in this make one unable to help but be suspicious."

But the Xiao family had truly been a great benefactor to the Li family, making Li Tongya feel a little guilty for his suspicions. By now, there was no way back, so he could only suppress his doubts, walk silently through the mountains for a while, and land in front of the highest and most prominent peak.

The formation on the peak was independent. An opening was specifically made halfway up the mountain for Li Tongya to enter, not letting him climb from the foot of the mountain. The measure was just right, giving Li Tongya face without lowering his status too much.

Li Tongya nodded slightly and landed halfway up the mountain. He saw a stretch of cold grass, the forest wind rustling, and a brown wooden staircase winding upward. Xiao Yuansi was already waiting. Seeing Li Tongya, he smiled slightly, bowed lightly, and said:

"Fellow Daoist, please—"

"Troubling you, Fellow Daoist."

The two went up together, almost floating against the ground. After a full incense stick's time, they finally reached the top of Xianyou Peak.

At the peak, there was the sound of gurgling water. Between two broken peaks, there was a deep pool, surrounded by cold mist, with some cold-resistant flowers and plants growing on the edge. It was a scene of an immortal family. On the cliff sat an old man in white, looking very spirited, watching the two with a smile.

Xiao Yuansi bowed lightly, signaling him to go up to the broken cliff, while he stood in place waiting. Li Tongya tapped his feet lightly on the stone several times, landed in front of Senior Xiao Chuting, bowed, and said respectfully:

"Your junior, Tongya, pays respects to the True Person! Congratulations to the True Person for achieving the Zifu and shaping an Immortal Clan!"

Senior Xiao Chuting nodded lightly, and saw Li Tongya pat his waist, take out a jade box, hold it up with both hands, and say respectfully:

"Your junior congratulates the True Person and offers a Golden Bamboo Fruit!"

The jade box was naturally changed. The jade box picked up from the ruins of the Wangyue Lake market was too mysterious. Li Tongya was not wealthy enough to give it to Senior Xiao Chuting as a gift, so it was naturally a later jade box; the previous one had long been put away.

"Oh?"

Senior Xiao Chuting raised his eyebrows slightly, took the jade box from his hand, and opened it gently. Immediately, a golden, colorful spirit object appeared. The fruit skin was delicate, and light halos flowed on it.

The fruit had been arrogant before, but now it was trembling and unable to speak, only making a cursing mouth shape. Senior Xiao Chuting picked it up and looked at it, and it didn't even dare to make the mouth shape. Senior Xiao Chuting nodded and said:

"It is indeed a Golden Bamboo Fruit, but the age is not high, just over a hundred years. You have a heart."

Having received Senior Xiao Chuting's praise, Li Tongya's expression became even more respectful. Senior Xiao Chuting said again:

"You may get up. There is no need for so much courtesy. Sit down and talk with me."

"Yes!"

Although Senior Xiao Chuting spoke gently, Li Tongya did not dare to be arrogant and still waited with the courtesy of a disciple, just raising his head slightly, looking like he was listening.

Senior Xiao Chuting nodded slightly and said softly:

"I should congratulate you. You also broke through to Foundation Establishment early. Your future is boundless."

Li Tongya hurriedly thanked him. Senior Xiao Chuting waved his hand to interrupt him and smiled:

"You don't have to worry. I wouldn't eat you, otherwise Yuansi would be anxious with me."

This sentence was a small joke, but it made Li Tongya feel much more relaxed, and the atmosphere became much more humorous. Senior Xiao Chuting didn't look at Li Tongya's reaction and continued to say to himself:

"Li Mutian was someone who knew how to teach his son. Looking at the appearance of you two brothers described by Yuansi, your father's appearance and expression seem to have appeared before my eyes. It's a pity he left early. I was busy breaking through to the Zifu at that time and never met him."

This sentence was purely a polite remark. At that time, the Li family was just a small Embryonic Breath clan. When Senior Xiao Chuting was laying out his pieces, he was too lazy to talk much to Li Tongya, let alone take the time to go to Lijing Mountain to sit down and talk with Li Mutian. Helping Li Tongya was just a casual move, until later when Li Chijing's talent was revealed, Senior Xiao Chuting paid more attention to the Li family.

Li Tongya nodded in agreement, revealing a look of regret, and saw Senior Xiao Chuting smile slightly, change the subject, and reply:

"I have also heard of the Yu family in the dense forest. When I was young, I also fought with Yu Yufeng. This person's palm technique is truly good, and he was once famous in Li Xia County. Later, he was defeated by the junior Yu Yuxie and became a stepping stone for Yu Yuxie's fame. He was very ashamed and gradually stopped making moves."

Seeing Li Tongya listening attentively, Senior Xiao Chuting continued:

"Later, he returned to the Yu family to become an ancestor, and I never heard from him again. I didn't expect the Yu family to produce another Foundation Establishment. I have also heard of their great movements on Wangyue Lake these years."

He rubbed the fishing rod in his hand and said softly:

"To suppress the Yu family, just get rid of the White Jade Hand, Yu Yufeng."

Third watch, making up for the alliance leader of the big shot.
