Chapter 333

The young Daoist's voice fell, and the magic bead in his hand rotated for a week, gushing out a layer of hazy gray light, like clouds and mist, rising continuously.

The two had not yet made any moves, and the gray mist had already wandered around, covering the top and bottom, isolating the Great Void, and preventing others from peeping with divine abilities.

"Oh?"

Jiang Boqing's gaze lingered on the gray light around him for a breath, and he said softly:

"I don't know about 'Answering the Beggar under the Mulberry Tree'... I am only familiar with Buzi in the Qingchi Sect... As for Xiao Chuting, he is just a junior with some means. We have never met, so how would I know?!"

"You Changhuai Mountain... want to plan for the Immortal Book, seeing me so down and out now, you think I am a soft persimmon that is easy to pinch...?"

Jiang Boqing stared with blood-red eyes, his face ferocious, and said coldly:

"A rotten ship still has three pounds of iron. When I was rampant, you were just a small Daoist in the Wudu Division. Don't you fear that I will bite back, at least breaking your Dao path!"

"Senior is joking."

Qing Jifang smiled lightly. With this magic tool to protect him, he was not afraid of being detected by the Zifu of the Yue country, so he said slowly:

"Senior says you are not acquainted with Xiao Chuting, but this Li Xia slaughter county was promoted by Senior and the Qingchi Sect. To say that Senior has no relationship with Xiao Chuting, Junior does not believe it!"

Once these words were spoken, Jiang Boqing's face changed greatly, and Jiang Yan on the side was stunned, raising his head in disbelief. Jiang Boqing looked at Jiang Yan, whose body seemed to be pierced by his gaze, and forced himself to be calm, replying:

"That was the plan of Xiao Chuting and the Qingchi Sect. I just borrowed strength..."

Qing Jifang was able to cultivate to Zifu, and naturally he was also a person with meticulous thoughts. He immediately noticed the fluctuation of Jiang Boqing's emotions, understood in his heart, looked at Jiang Yan behind him, and said softly:

"This little young master, this person used divine abilities to lure your father, brought disaster to kill your mother, and refined you as a talisman. You still call him Master one by one. How can this be?"

Jiang Boqing saw him pretending to be compassionate, but instead calmed down, and said in a deep voice:

"What do you mean, fellow Daoist!"

Looking at Jiang Yan who was silent, Qing Jifang then cast his gaze on Jiang Boqing and said softly:

"I will not pull skins with Senior either. 'Answering the Beggar under the Mulberry Tree' is an Immortal Book. Except for Duanmu Kui, Senior is the most familiar with it in the south. Now that Wushan has been destroyed, everyone's eyes are on Senior."

"Not to mention my Wu country, even the three True Persons of the Yue country have two staring at you. Where do you think Senior can escape to?"

Qing Jifang's voice echoed continuously in the air, and Jiang Boqing's face was dripping with blood, silent. Qing Jifang's words seemed to shatter Jiang Boqing's self-deceiving dream, making his expression slowly ferocious.

This Zifu cultivator moved his gaze to Jiang Yan again and said in a deep voice:

"Father is born as Yang, three-nine true talisman, mother dies as Yin, witch Dao blood talisman, it is indeed a good flesh body. If Senior is willing to go to Wu country with me, I can spare his life and leave Senior a chance."

"I will ask about the situation of the people in the Yue country. I only ask for the fragments of Senior's memory regarding 'Answering the Beggar under the Mulberry Tree'. After it is done, I will let Senior reincarnate."

Qing Jifang smiled slightly and said softly:

"By then, my Wu country will have obtained clues, and Senior will have lost his memory and have no value, so there is no need to be stared at by several True Persons. With this excellent flesh body, you can cultivate for another life and be at ease in the world. Isn't that beautiful?"

Jiang Boqing stared at him coldly and replied:

"I have already obtained a wisp of gold nature, no need for divine abilities to confuse me."

Qing Jifang's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled:

"It is Junior who is showing off before an expert, but this condition is sincerely offered and remains valid."

"Good."

Jiang Boqing hesitated for a while and finally answered, whispering:

"Send this good flesh body of mine away first."

Qing Jifang was overjoyed and replied:

"Senior has great courage, Jifang will never break his promise!"

After saying this, he hooked out a wisp of colorful light and gently took it toward Jiang Yan. Jiang Yan was only able to resist Foundation Establishment with the help of Jiang Boqing's power. How could he eat the power of Zifu? He was easily taken away.

"Wait, I will do it myself!"

Jiang Boqing shouted to interrupt, and Qing Jifang suddenly realized, and felt Jiang Boqing's sincerity even more, nodding:

"Exactly, exactly, Junior still shouldn't handle it."

At the moment, the gray mist revealed a gap for Jiang Boqing to send Jiang Yan away. Zifu cultivators roam the Great Void. Not to mention ten thousand miles in an instant, a hundred miles is still possible. Jiang Boqing has gold nature, enough to send Jiang Yan a thousand miles away and break the trail.

Jiang Boqing caught the colorful light, urged the gold nature, and unceremoniously snatched the control from Qing Jifang's hands, causing the Zifu Daoist's eyelids to jump.

Jiang Yan could not speak, staring quietly at him. Jiang Boqing reached out and pulled a black light, sending Jiang Yan away, and then turned his head to look at Qing Jifang with a smile.

"Senior?"

Qing Jifang stared at him vigilantly. Jiang Boqing stared at him for a while and said softly:

"Changhuai Mountain has a witch technique Dao lineage. If you can get 'Answering the Beggar under the Mulberry Tree', the True Person can definitely go up another level."

"So what?"

Qing Jifang faintly sensed something wrong. The magic bead in his hand floated up and down, and then saw Jiang Boqing smile:

"Guess whether Lushui is willing to see the Immortal Book lose its trail and be lost in the Yue country, or whether it is willing to have clues controlled by your country and be controlled by others step by step?"

"Bad! What madness are you making?!"

Watching Jiang Boqing's body shatter with a bang, turning into flesh and blood all over the sky, Qing Jifang was shocked, put away the magic bead without hesitation, and was about to escape into the Great Void.

"Clang—"

A wisp of golden light appeared in the shattered body, bumping into this Zifu cultivator as if it had eyes. In an instant, the light shone brightly, ten thousand frogs croaked under the mountain, and the river water surged.

Qing Jifang was full of disbelief, watching the golden light hit him. The Great Void around was locked by the gold nature in an instant, and he only said sharply:

"Don't even want your life!"

————

November, heavy snow.

The white snow on Wutuo Mountain was piled up, the stone table was covered with snowflakes, and the bluestone in the courtyard was also covered with a piece of white. The youth in brocade clothes and white fur leaned on a red wood chair, holding a jade cup with two fingers, silent.

"Zhier."

The woman at the head had willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, dressed in red, with exhaustion in her eyes, and said softly:

"Are everything prepared?"

"Hmm."

Li Xizhi responded lightly and replied:

"Where is Father."

"Your father went to Lijing Town. The Immortal Master is about to arrive, and there are many things to prepare. In a while, a carriage will come to find you."

Xiao Guiluan saw the grievance in his heart and explained it comfortingly for a while. Li Xizhi's expression did not change, he stared intently at the cup, and whispered:

"Qingsui Peak has a sparse population and only has a reputation. As the eldest senior brother in the peak, I fear there will be endless trouble in the future."

He was explaining his worries on his lips, but his heart was full of bitterness, and he dared not confide in his mother.

Hearing that Yuan Tuan was about to arrive, Li Yuanjiao finally showed the clan's internal history to his eldest son. Li Xizhi held the book and read it all night, his expression changed several times. The entanglements between Chi Wei, Chi Zhiyun, and even Yuanwu Peak, and Li Chijing's final desolate end all made him feel bitter and silent:

"How many entanglements in the sect... carrying the reputation, I fear I will become a pawn for all parties."

He silently grasped the sword at his waist, put down the jade cup, and replied:

"Since I have entered the sect, I can only do my best."

Li Xizhi was pondering when someone came up from below, dressed in simple clothes, with some snowflakes on his shoulders, in a hurry.

He patted the snow on his body urgently, first saluted Xiao Guiluan at the head, and called out loudly:

"Zhi Brother!"

Li Xizhi hurriedly stood up, greeted him and replied:

"Why did Xicheng Brother come."

Li Xicheng was dusty, his clothes were thin, and he didn't even have any accessories. He took out a jade pendant from his arms happily and smiled:

"Hearing that you are about to enter the sect, I found some good things for you!"

He had not received the talisman seed and did not know the many secrets in the clan. He only thought that going to the Qingchi Sect was a great thing with all benefits and no harm. He shone the jade pendant, which was flashing with cyan light, stuffed it into Li Xizhi's hand, and explained with a smile:

"This is a Qi Condensation magic tool, which has the effect of gathering spiritual energy. It will be a congratulatory gift from your brother to you!"

Li Xizhi was stunned for a moment. His father was Li Yuanjiao, and his grandfather was Li Xuanxuan, who had been the head of the Li family for generations. In fact, he was not short of these little things, but seeing Li Xicheng full of joy, his heart was not a taste.

Li Xicheng's father had no spiritual aperture, and his grandfather died early, so he lived even harder. In this brother's view, this jade pendant was already a rare thing, and he kept stuffing it into Li Xizhi's hand.

Li Xizhi saw that he was simple and had no magic light, but he still looked at himself gently and kindly. The jade pendant he was pinching was like a burning wooden charcoal, burning him so that he didn't know what to say, and he said astringently:

"Xicheng Brother... you spent too much!"

"Eh."

Li Xicheng had been supervising spiritual rice in Shanyue for these months, had gained knowledge, and his speech was generous. He smiled:

"Your brother, I, now have a position in the clan and a clan salary. Don't be polite to me!"

His tone was gentle, but Li Xizhi was not a taste. He grabbed his brother's hand, had a stomach full of words to say to him, and whispered:

"I heard that Brother's expenses are insufficient, the bag is empty, and the resources and clan salary issued by the family are half-sent and half-borrowed to the clan brothers. Is there such a thing?"

"This..."

Li Xicheng paused and muttered:

"Harm."

Li Xizhi couldn't help laughing or crying. He took this brother of his and hugged him hard in his broad chest, smiling and reminding:

"You should save some use, be careful that the Clan Justice records you as extravagant and scattering wealth."

Li Xicheng smiled sullenly, not knowing if he heard it. The servant below stepped forward and said respectfully:

"Young Master, the carriage is here."

Li Xizhi nodded slightly when he heard this, looked at Li Xicheng's full smile, and the bitterness in his heart disappeared, his heart full of fighting spirit and expectation.

————

Lijing Town.

Li Yuanjiao was in black, standing silently in the snow with his sword. The snowflakes fell on him and fell apart. Li Xizhi stood beside him, looking at the sky in a daze.

A group of Li family members waited for a while, and in the heavy snow, a green-robed cultivator rode a deer, looking thirty or forty years old, moving and moving.

The deer under the seat was snow-white, dotted with green, light and strong, with smart eyes. The person on the deer was floating in green clothes, like an immortal, with a wisp of cyan silk tied around his waist, constantly fluttering in the wind.

This long silk had complex patterns, transparent and light, and it looked like a good magic tool.

"Li family members, greet the Peak Master!"

A group of Li family members called out respectfully, Yuan Tuan nodded with a smile, and the white deer landed, kicked its four hooves, and turned into a piece of white snow, disappearing.

This miraculous means made the Li family members and guests pause, silently marveling, Yuan Tuan replied:

"No need to be polite."

Yuan Tuan was about the same age as Li Tongya. She practiced Qi at eighteen, originally faster than her senior brother Xiao Yuansis, but I don't know why, after she practiced Qi, she specialized in talismans and spiritual plants, but her cultivation fell behind.

"Please, Immortal Master, come inside..."

Yuan Tuan nodded softly, stepped on the snow lightly, and went over. The guests and foreign surnames all retreated, leaving only a few direct descendants to enter with Yuan Tuan.

Her gaze lingered on the sword at Li Yuanjiao's waist for a breath, turned her head somewhat uncomfortably, and said softly:

"Is that the Cyan Ruler Sword?"

"Exactly!"

"This sword..."

Yuan Tuan's expression was somewhat complicated, and she whispered:

"I followed Master to beg for it for him. At that time, the peak was tight, and it was only refined into a Qi Condensation peak magic tool. Jing'er was still happy, thanking him repeatedly..."

"I didn't expect that later this sword killed demons and punished demons with him, and was warmed by sword intent for many years. It didn't make a sound and broke through, achieving a Foundation Establishment magic tool."

A group of Li family members listened silently. Yuan Tuan raised her eyebrows, stared at Li Yuanjiao, and asked:

"You wear this sword, are you the head of the Li family."

Li Yuanjiao had already rehearsed for a long time. At the moment, he answered respectfully:

"Chijing Gong had no offspring, so the junior is the clan successor grandson of Chijing Gong, Yuan generation Jiao, so I wear this sword."

"Hmm, no offspring..."

Yuan Tuan barely maintained her expression, stood in place for a full two breaths, and then guided by Li Yuanjiao, she boarded the head, scanned the faces of the crowd silently, and said softly:

"Why don't I see the figure of fellow Daoist Tongya?"

Li Yuanjiao lowered his head and said in a deep voice:

"Old Ancestor is in seclusion and has not come out yet."

"Oh."

Yuan Tuan nodded, and saw Li Yuanjiao signal. Li Xizhi stepped forward and bowed:

"Junior Li Xizhi, greets Senior!"

"Good."

Yuan Tuan smiled, her spiritual sense swept over him, examined him for a while, carefully checked the Qi sea, Shengyang Mansion, and Juque Court, and closed her eyes without speaking.

Her closing her eyes made everyone in the hall silently nervous. Li Xizhi was even more forced to be calm, feeling the Xuanzhu talisman seed in his Qi sea, his heart beating like a drum.

After a dozen breaths, Yuan Tuan opened her eyes and nodded:

"Not bad, should enter my Qingsui Peak!"

Then she smiled and said to Li Xizhi:

"Good child, no need to be nervous."

Once these words were spoken, everyone put their hearts down, and it was finally settled. Li Xizhi thanked her respectfully. Yuan Tuan looked at him with a smile and said softly:

"Raise your head!"

Li Xizhi's face was similar to Li Yuanjiao's. When he lowered his eyebrows, he still had a bit of gentleness and peace. Now that he raised his head, he revealed that ambitious appearance again, which made Yuan Tuan smile lightly and said:

"The appearance is similar to yours, quite fierce, and the power can suppress the crowd. It is really the material for the first disciple. I didn't expect that I really picked up a bargain."

"It is indeed the dog son, Senior's praise..."

Li Yuanjiao responded and whispered:

"Being able to enter Qingsui Peak is the blessing of my Li family."

"Hmm."

Yuan Tuan nodded and asked again:

"I heard that your family has a small alchemist. I don't know if he is here?"

The plot of these chapters will be a bit flat, just a transition.
