Chapter 260: Seeing Xiao Guiluan (Two-in-One)

Liu Zhangdie was proud, watching the great array about to take shape, with spiritual energy faintly connected up and down, secretly saying:

"This array is almost ready. With the help of the Li family, after cultivating that spirit eye, I can ride the wind to the north to take a look. Xu State is in chaos, if I go at this time, maybe I can fish in troubled waters and get some opportunities."

Thinking this way, Liu Zhangdie only saw a person carrying a golden bow land, holding a jade slip, and smiled:

"Brother Zhangdie, I have brought you the "Spirit Eye Clear Pupil"!"

Liu Zhangdie was overjoyed, thanked him repeatedly, and stepped forward, but saw Li Xuanfeng's expression was somewhat regretful, and continued:

"It's a pity that the Old Ancestor's immortal track is uncertain, I didn't find him. This guest retainer matter has never happened in my family, Xuanfeng cannot act on his own, so I can't make a conclusion."

"This..."

Foundation Establishment immortal cultivators are all in seclusion for years, Liu Zhangdie could understand, but he didn't understand why Li Xuanfeng still brought the jade slip over, his heart was lost and regretful, and he looked at the jade slip in his hand, asking:

"Fellow Daoist is..."

"Oh."

Li Xuanfeng then realized and raised his head, replying:

"The Old Ancestor doesn't know when he will return, how can I wait until then? I will take this "Spirit Eye Clear Pupil" and let you practice it first."

"How can this be!"

Liu Zhangdie was moved and uneasy, responded, but saw Li Xuanfeng pull his hand, forcibly stuffing the jade slip into his hand, laughing, and then said:

Li Xuanfeng's words were tough, and the thing was forcibly stuffed into Liu Zhangdie's hand. Liu Zhangdie was vigilant and subconsciously wanted to retreat, but felt that Li Xuanfeng's hand was like an iron clamp, immovable. He didn't pull it for a while, until Li Xuanfeng realized and let go. Liu Zhangdie was greatly shocked, secretly surprised:

"I used magic power unconsciously, but couldn't break free. No wonder Li Xuanfeng was feared by everyone in the city in his previous life. This strength is simply inhuman, truly terrifying."

"In the previous life, Li Yuanjiao once said: Li Xuanfeng likes to kill demons with arrows. There was a demon general who thought he couldn't fight close combat and changed to close combat. As a result, this person killed to his heart's content, caught it with his hands, laughed incessantly, and only used two palms, then died... It's really true."

Li Xuanfeng also noticed Liu Zhangdie's fear, apologized, and smiled:

"Xuanfeng has been able to carry a tripod since he was a child. I startled you just now, I'm really sorry!"

Li Xuanfeng's blood energy like a demon was given by Lu Qi. This was just to block Liu Zhangdie. Seeing Liu Zhangdie say "no harm, no harm", Li Xuanfeng smiled:

"Brother has made a Xuanjing spiritual oath, so you can practice."

"Naturally, thank you."

Watching Liu Zhangdie make the Xuanjing spiritual oath, Li Xuanfeng handed the jade slip over and continued:

"This pupil technique is not easy to practice. My family hasn't practiced it since it was obtained. Brother Zhangdie, you must be careful."

Liu Zhangdie was full of joy and accepted it, saying repeatedly:

"No harm, no harm."

Li Xuanfeng had also practiced this pupil technique, but it was difficult to practice without that heaven and earth spiritual object called Clear Origin Spirit Water. Seeing Liu Zhangdie's confident appearance, his heart moved, thinking:

"The Old Ancestor once said that this person's origin is mysterious and has many secrets. It is not guaranteed that he also knows the origin of this Clear Origin Spirit Water. I must keep an eye on it."

So he arched his hands and said:

"Good to say! Good to say!"

Liu Zhangdie didn't know if he looked at it carefully, and agreed with his mouth full. Li Xuanfeng also arched his hands and rode the wind away.

Only a month later, the great array on Huaqian Mountain was completed. Liu Zhangdie restored 70% of the power of the Earth Locking Huaqian Array left by Wan Huaqian back then, enough to withstand Qi Refining late-stage cultivators. It could also borrow the spiritual spring in the Huaqian Mountain cave dwelling, endless and flowing, most able to withstand the siege of a group of low-strength Qi Refining cultivators, and even Foundation Establishment could hold on for a column of incense time, which made Li Xuanfeng quite satisfied.

Solving this time, Liu Zhangdie went to Hua Zhong Mountain to modify the array disk. Li Yuanjiao sent away this array master, and his heart was bitter, but also greatly relaxed.

Li Yuanjiao was in black, sitting cross-legged on the high seat at the head, picked up the spirit wine and took a sip, spat out a warm breath, and heard Li Qinghong on the side blink her eyes with a smile, her voice light and pleasant, teasing:

Li Yuanjiao smiled awkwardly, unexpectedly being seen through by Li Qinghong so easily, and said somewhat pitifully:

"I don't know what kind of woman..."

Li Qinghong giggled, holding the wine glass in her hand, stained it with her vermilion lips, but didn't drink it, imitating the middle-aged man's voice, tiger-like:

"My family has a daughter from a side branch of the direct line, called Yu Xiaogui Luan. Her character and appearance are top-notch, so she is matched to Yuanjiao, just right."

Li Yuanjiao glared at her fiercely, looking at her giggling, and said angrily:

"You are happy! You don't know I am suffering in my heart now."

Li Qinghong straightened up and smiled lightly:

"I heard that Yu Xiaogui Luan also has Embryonic Breath fourth-layer cultivation, and her talent is excellent. Since it is said that her character and appearance are top-notch, what else does Brother Jiao have to worry about? Seeking a woman as a wife in the human world, besides these three, what else is there to consider?"

Li Yuanjiao sighed long and replied:

"Which cultivator's appearance is too bad? What's more, they will be gray-haired in eighty or a hundred years. No matter how good the appearance is, it will wither. In my opinion, this appearance is the cheapest and not worth mentioning."

Li Yuanjiao drank some wine and spoke his heart, comparing a finger, and continued:

"As for talent, too good or too bad will make people immortal and mortal. You and I are evenly matched, which is the best."

Putting down a finger, a trace of doubt flashed on Li Yuanjiao's face, and he replied:

"I worry most about this character. Senior Xiao Yuansi is a loyal and honest person. This is top-notch character, who knows what it is like..."

Li Qinghong nodded thoughtfully and replied:

"Is it afraid that Yu Xiaogui Luan is too kind? Or is it too weak?"

Li Yuanjiao sneered and replied:

"Kindness is good, viciousness is also fine, as long as you can't read the face, can't distinguish the situation, can't see the human heart, if you get one of the three, it is the way to take disaster!"

Li Qinghong was silent for a while, and only nodded after a long time:

"Brother Jiao makes sense... but I still have a doubt."

Seeing Li Yuanjiao raise his eyebrows, Li Qinghong's expression had sorrow, and asked:

"But Big Brother... clearly is top-notch in everything, why did he end up like this..."

Li Yuanjiao closed his eyes, let out a long breath, and replied:

"Outstanding in everything, it's just enough to climb onto the chessboard, to be the ants of this great contending world, the playthings of the Early Zifu great powers."

Li Qinghong choked. She had a dream of chasing the immortal path and long life, but hated the style of the Early Zifu Jin Dan, only silent. Then she saw Li Yuanjiao drink wine and smiled again:

"That's what I said, it still depends on you and me in the future."

Li Qinghong nodded and smiled:

"Okay, let Brother Jiao know, I am going to condense the last wheel."

Li Yuanjiao suddenly paused, put the wine glass down heavily, and said angrily:

"Damn it! What are you drinking... go cultivate!"

Li Qinghong laughed crisply twice, bid farewell and left the courtyard, walked two steps in the clear wind, the mountain below was a lively scene, her slender hands gripped the long spear in her hand, secretly saying:

"Among the brothers and sisters, my talent is the best. In the future, I must be the barrier for the family, and I must not slack off."

————

Xiao family.

The Xiao family is now a Early Zifu immortal clan. The Qingchi Sect sent half of Li Xia Prefecture, and the Tangjin Gate in the north also meant six towns. The territory is not small, but because of the exhaustion of the Qingchi Sect back then, the population is much less, but it is enough to support the secular descendants of the Xiao family.

The Xianyou Mountain has gentle terrain and rich spiritual energy. Since Xiao Chuting broke through to Early Zifu, the highest main peak, Xianyou Peak, has been supplied to him alone. The various Foundation Establishment cultivators retreated to other peaks. The spiritual energy of the Xianyou Mountain earth veins is rich, and it is more than enough to support this piece of cultivators.

Between the rise and fall of the mountain range, looking at a small peak that is not high, the moonlight just sprinkled down, illuminating the courtyard brightly. The decorations in the courtyard are exquisite, the lights are dotted, and it looks exceptionally gorgeous. A girl in green clothes sat in the main courtyard, without powder, her eyebrows like willow leaves, a pair of phoenix eyes looking around, her clean slender hands holding an ink pen, gently sketching on the cloth in front of her, saying softly:

"The gifts for the husband's family are all prepared... the share given by the family, is there any surplus?"

"Return to Miss."

A servant on the side bowed and replied:

"Except for those nine boxes of dowry, the remaining ten or so spirit stones, I don't know if it's enough."

The girl in green clothes pulled her hair and counted:

"The Li family reuses outer surnames... Tian, Liu, Ren, Xu, Chen, and even the main wife Dou family, these small surnames must be taken care of, so as not to be gossiped about. These ten or so spirit stones are truly too few."

Her beautiful eyebrows frowned, and she said softly:

"Father there... have you asked? Is it really that he is not willing to take it out at all?"

That maid nodded hesitantly, shook her head with some indignation, lowered her voice, and replied:

"No, the people sent down the mountain couldn't even enter the door several times."

"Don't blame him."

This girl in green clothes is naturally Yu Xiaogui Luan, who is about to marry west. At this moment, she shook her head and said quietly:

"The daughter married out is like spilled water, he is naturally dissatisfied."

"But... the Li family is after all a family, and it's not bad. Father's move... is really embarrassing."

That maid responded, Yu Xiaogui Luan smiled, explaining:

"If I listen obediently and seek a cultivator to marry in, it would be a great help for him. Now I marry west to a family, I am glorious, he has no feelings for me, just feels that he has lost a lot for no reason, naturally dissatisfied."

That maid closed her mouth and dared not say more. Then she saw Yu Xiaogui Luan put down the pen and ink, took off a jade bracelet with flowing magic light from her wrist, and ordered:

"I have been using this jade bracelet since I cultivated the Xuanjing wheel. It can calm the mind and absorb spiritual energy. It is also a good treasure. You take it down the mountain and find a confidant to pawn it, so you can save some more spirit stones and make up for this gap."

That maid was obviously uneasy and replied:

"Miss, must it be so... those are just a few outer surnames, it should be them who come to flatter you, no need to be so concerned..."

Yu Xiaogui Luan put the jade bracelet into her hand, explaining:

"The Li family has four branches, but there is only one position for the Family Head. This plan is long-term, you don't have to doubt."

After speaking, she paused, glanced at the cloth on the table, and ordered:

"Don't let the family know about this! The dowry given by the family should have been a share from Father, so there is this gap. If he doesn't want to pay, then forget it. If the family knows, he will be punished. When the time comes, there will be trouble."

She held the maid's hand and said in a low voice:

"The opportunity to marry west to a family is hard to come by. Now it is at the critical moment, don't cause trouble and make me embarrassed."

Yu Xiaogui Luan, although of the direct line, is a girl born of a concubine. If she chooses an outer-surname cultivator in the clan to combine, at most it is a Qi Refining cultivator, mostly those who are fifty or sixty years old. Yu Xiaogui Luan is only seventeen or eighteen, how can she be willing?

Yu Xiaogui Luan has also seen Li Yuanjiao's portrait, and he looks good. He is young and is a Qi Refining fifth-layer Yujing wheel, hoping to impact Foundation Establishment. What's more, Yu Xiaogui Luan is marrying west as a Xiao family woman, and the Li family must be polite to her. The two are like clouds and mud, Yu Xiaogui Luan naturally cherishes it.

"Yes..."

That maid responded in a low voice. Yu Xiaogui Luan nodded, picked up the pen and ink, and prepared to record this sum of spirit stones as paid by her father, but unexpectedly the courtyard door knocked. Yu Xiaogui Luan frowned and said loudly:

"Who is visiting?"

"Little one is ordered by Senior Xiao Jiuqing to send gifts for the Yushan branch!"

"Xiao Jiuqing..."

Yu Xiaogui Luan gave a look, and the maid hurriedly opened it, only to see a small servant kneeling outside the courtyard, not daring to enter, only holding his hands high, holding a small brocade bag in his hand, respectfully:

"Send congratulatory gifts for Miss!"

The maid took it and sent it up. Yu Xiaogui Luan took it and weighed it. There were about five or six spirit stones, and her heart was slightly happy, replying:

"Go back and tell your master that Seeing Xiao Guiluan has remembered this thick gift. The resources are very generous, thank you very much."

That small servant responded repeatedly, not daring to look up at Yu Xiaogui Luan, and retreated two steps. The maid stepped forward and covered the door, strangely:

"Miss, we have never had any dealings with Xiao Jiuqing of the Yushan branch, how could he be so kind..."

Yu Xiaogui Luan covered her mouth and smiled, drew a circle on the cloth, and replied:

"This is flattering! He is optimistic about the Li family... or... optimistic about that Li Yuanjiao."

Yu Xiaogui Luan, although clever and witty, is only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl after all. Seeing her future husband being so optimistic, she was slightly happy in her heart, and her slender hands picked up the pen, wrote a 'Jiao' character on the cloth, and muttered:

"Kindness is good, viciousness is also fine, just don't be a fool." ===== CHAPTER 261 =====
