Chapter 348

"【Blood Mo Dharma Book】..."

Li Li Xuanxuan pondered for a breath, vaguely remembering that Li Li Tongya had mentioned this cultivation method. It seemed to be a method of the Jin Yu Sect. The beginning of the volume said it was fourth-grade, and it only had the Qi Refining part of the cultivation method.

"It seems that among these demonic cultivators, they also use cultivation methods as threats, controlling each other layer by layer. After all, demonic cultivators are selfish. If they weren't threatened by their path, they would have scattered long ago..."

"It shouldn't be just that."

Li Li Yuanjiao paused slightly. Not all demonic cultivators have the hope of breaking through to Foundation Establishment. There should be some connection or method of controlling the lower by the upper among these demonic cultivators.

"It's not strange for the Three Sects and Seven Gates to have demonic cultivation methods. But this Jin Yu Sect cultivation method appearing on a demonic cultivator in the Mount Qingchi Sect's territory is a bit interesting. Did the demonic cultivators of Mount Qingchi secretly defect to the Jin Yu Sect?"

He was confused in his heart and said in a low voice:

"Or... the demonic disaster is something that the Jin Yu Sect and the Mount Qingchi Sect tacitly approved or even intentionally promoted, but like this..."

"But what good would that do!"

Li Li Yuanjiao, dressed in black, stared tightly at his father, quite puzzled:

"Aristocratic families and loose cultivators have supported Mount Qingchi for many years, only to be slaughtered by demonic cultivators in vain. Not to mention that Mount Qingchi Sect will have to send people to enlighten them again next year, the places ravaged by the demonic disaster will be withered for at least decades, and it will take nearly a hundred years for small clans and loose cultivators to grow up. Isn't this just giving away one's own egg-laying hen for others to enjoy!"

"Perhaps... the demonic disaster has other uses."

Li Li Xuanxuan shook his head, moved his thoughts away, and read the several pitch-black jade slips one by one.

They were the 【Sacrifice Life Roll Blood】 for fleeing, which should be the blood wind the demonic cultivator used to escape, followed by the 【Ghost Infant in the Abdomen】 for rebirth, and the 【Blood Turning Capital Origin Sutra】 for turning from the immortal path to the demonic path...

A total of five techniques, all requiring human blood, spiritual energy, resentment, and human heads. They were not good things. The two only read the general outline and roughly understood the secrets of demonic cultivation.

Demonic cultivators also start from Embryonic Breath, but after condensing the six wheels of Embryonic Breath, they don't immediately refine Qi, but combine the six wheels into one different mansion.

Once this different mansion is formed, the Juque Court, Shengyang Mansion, and Qihai Acupoint are combined into one, and the body is no longer the foundation of cultivation, but becomes a boat in the bitter sea like the Buddhist cultivators.

There are many mysteries in this that are hard to describe, as if there is a strange demonic power that wants to suck other people's spiritual sense into it, unconsciously running according to the routes in the cultivation method. Fortunately, this power is not strong, and the two of them woke up after just a trance.

Li Li Xuanxuan didn't think he was a person with a strong will, so he didn't dare to look closely and hurriedly let go.

"Different mansion... the so-called technique of different mansions in the same furnace, that's what it means..."

Li Li Yuanjiao had also heard the words of Lord Murong Xia when he went south, saying it was something about raising a human head in the abdomen, but it was different. Anyway, the world's cultivation has its own path, which is hard to exhaust.

Just as Li Li Yuanjiao was thinking, Li Li Xuanxuan in front of him silently picked up the black jade slip of the 【Blood Turning Capital Origin Sutra】.

"Poof!"

Li Li Xuanxuan moved his hand and crushed the jade slip recording the 【Blood Turning Capital Origin Sutra】, put away the remaining four jade slips, and said to Li Li Yuanjiao:

"Find a secret room to store them. With these cultivation methods as a reference, it won't let the younger generation be completely unprepared when facing demonic cultivators."

Li Li Yuanjiao nodded and picked up a jade bottle from the desk. This jade bottle was one size larger than the ordinary elixir jade bottle and was light green all over.

His spiritual sense probed into it. The bottle was filled with a clear, bright spiritual water, deep and cold, light black, about half a bottle. It swayed, as if it were a whole, emitting bursts of chill, freezing Li Li Yuanjiao into a trance, and he said in a low voice:

"Heaven and Earth Spiritual Water?"

Li Li Xuanxuan hurriedly took it and looked, also shivering from the cold. But his knowledge was not much higher than Li Li Yuanjiao's. Although he had recognized some spiritual objects in the market for many years, he had never seen Heaven and Earth Spiritual Water.

"Perhaps? It could also be some special Heaven and Earth spiritual energy..."

He hesitated for a moment, and seeing Li Li Yuanjiao carefully put it away, he hurriedly said:

"Store it in the family's treasure vault just in case."

The remaining elixirs were scattered, and not many bottles could be used. There were even two green bottles, one with blood energy and one with resentment energy. After estimating, there was about the amount of a thousand people, and there were some human heads and internal organs of Qi Refining cultivators, which were used for casting spells, so he called people down to bury them hurriedly.

These two green bottles didn't know how to be handled, so they could only be stored first. The remaining thirty-odd spirit stones were the big head, making Li Li Yuanjiao let out a long sigh of relief.

It can only be said that demonic cultivators burn, kill, and loot, and their family wealth is abundant. Ordinary Qi Refining cultivators only have five or six on them, but this one person had a full thirty-five, enough for the Li family to be comfortable for the next five years.

"It's a pity that the demonic cultivator's storage bag couldn't be kept. The space was quite large, and it must be worth a lot! This demonic cultivator didn't look strong... I don't know where he stole it from."

Li Li Xuanxuan shook his head regretfully. Storage bags are the easiest places to play tricks. Even the storage bags of the few direct descendants of the Li family today have some secret hands on them. Li Li Xuanxuan was in an emergency at the time, so how could he think this storage bag was so good, and he didn't dare to keep it.

The two finished dividing the property, and their mood was great. Clan soldiers had already come up, followed by an old monkey about five feet tall, full of wrinkles, with clear and wise eyes, bowing silently.

This old monkey had healed his wounds and removed the fire poison. Only then did Li Li Xuanxuan see that the monkey was not young. After washing away the charcoal ash, his fur was snow-white, his body was short, not reaching Li Li Xuanxuan's chin, and he looked at him with gratitude.

"Dare to ask..."

Li Li Xuanxuan didn't know whether to call him fellow Daoist or senior for a moment, only finding that the monkey's throat seemed to have some problems, and he could only make some syllables, saying warmly:

"I don't know the fellow Daoist's name?"

The old monkey shook his head, pointed at Li Li Xuanxuan, and then pointed at his own forehead. Li Li Xuanxuan was thoughtful and asked:

"Is the fellow Daoist willing to live in my Li family?"

The old monkey nodded repeatedly. Li Li Xuanxuan was overjoyed. After all, this old monkey was a combat power at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and he probably understood pharmacology and spiritual planting, which was truly a good help, so he tentatively said:

"Fellow Daoist will enter my family wall from now on, following my Li surname."

The white monkey nodded, opened his mouth, and spat out a green jade pestle. Li Li Yuanjiao watched Li Li Xuanxuan take it, also pleasantly surprised, and said repeatedly:

"The 【Wanling Flower】 on Mount Wan Huaqian has been slow to sprout. Why not ask him to go and take a look."

Li Li Xuanxuan understood, lowered his head to explain to him for a while, ordered the clan soldiers to send him over, and only then turned back, smiling at Li Li Yuanjiao:

"Father has good fate."

Li Li Yuanjiao also had this idea in his heart, praised him happily, and picked up the emerald green jade pestle and jade mortar. Although both were inferior-grade magic tools, they were a set, quite precious, and pondered:

"Let's call them 【Jade Pestle】 and 【Jade Mortar】."

Li Li Xuanxuan's mouth twitched. It was the first time he found that his child was not ordinary in naming, and shook his head:

"Li Xizhi's name was thought of by Xiao Guiluan, right!"

"Correct."

Li Li Yuanjiao didn't know why his father asked about this, not understanding, and saw Li Li Xuanxuan smiling and shaking his head repeatedly.

Tian Tian Youdao only broke through to Qi Refining at the age of sixty, and now he was also an old man, wearing a gray coat. He was sent to check the situation of Guanyun Peak, bowed solemnly, and replied:

Li Li Xuanxuan and Li Li Yuanjiao looked at each other, both feeling that if the lips were gone, the teeth would be cold. Tian Tian Youdao continued in a rigid manner:

"This person is dead. On Guanyun Peak, clear water is floating, like rain and fog, demonic smoke is rolling, wrapping the group of demons and heading south."

"South?"

The two immediately relaxed. As long as the group of demons didn't swarm out in Li Xia County and bloom everywhere, it could definitely be called a good thing. Li Li Yuanjiao said in a low voice:

"South should be heading to places like Xunlin Plain."

In this way, the actions of this group of demonic cultivators appeared particularly suspicious. They were originally demonic cultivators from places like Xunlin Plain who gathered together, broke the Xiao family's market, and immediately returned to their respective homes. It was obvious that they wanted to make things difficult for the Xiao family.

Tian Tian Youdao finished reporting the situation and immediately withdrew. An Jiyan hurriedly came up. His personality was much more careless. Although he had experienced great ups and downs, his speech was still like a whirlwind:

"Report to the family head! The formation of the Xiao family's Xiao Xianyou Peak has been open for six full days, isolating the inside and outside, making us wait well."

"Until the formation was lifted, the Xiao family only came out to lead our few families in to meet Young Master Xiao Guitu, saying that although the Xiao family was attacked, there was no major harm, only two Foundation Establishment cultivators were lost, the True Person had already returned to the peak, no need to worry."

"The True Person has returned to the peak."

Li Li Yuanjiao waved for him to go down, and couldn't guess how much of Xiao Xiao Guitu's words were true and how much were false, but the Xiao family was his own backer, so he could only believe it whether it was true or false.

"Just wait for now..."

An Jiyan then withdrew. The old monkey had already hurriedly come up, gestured with Li Li Xuanxuan for a while, and finally understood.

"It's that the spiritual spring of Mount Wan Huaqian is not enough and cannot provide sufficient spiritual energy."

Li Li Yuanjiao suddenly realized. No wonder Wang Xun said this 【Wanling Flower】 was delicate. The spiritual spring on Mount Wan Huaqian couldn't satisfy this spiritual root. After careful consideration, he suddenly said:

"The families on the East Bank... the Rui family and Pu family adjacent to our family, seem to have a spiritual spring, right?"

Sending troops to the East Bank was Li Brother Yuanping's plan. First, it could resolve internal conflicts in the clan, second, collect tribute, and third, these families used mortals as medicine, and they could also occupy the righteousness.

"In this way, these families have to be taken."

He sent someone to inform Li Brother Yuanping. Since the demonic cultivators hadn't come west, Li Li Yuanjiao didn't have to rush to take that elixir, just practiced silently, striving to break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining before the end of the year.

The market was destroyed, so Li Li Xuanxuan naturally couldn't go again. He simply took advantage of this life-and-death realization to retreat and practice. Li Ye Qiuyang hadn't gathered with his family for many years, so he returned home.

————

Heavy snow at the end of the year.

The snow in the past two years had been exceptionally scarce, so this heavy snow this year seemed rare. Perhaps it was to mourn those who died in this disaster, as it fell particularly heavily.

The world was a vast expanse of white. Li Brother Yuanping stood on the high watchtower, looking down. The group of soldiers below was listless, shivering in the cold winter.

He patted the snow off his body. Li Li Ximing, who was nine years old and at the second level of Embryonic Breath, was holding a fur coat, accompanying his father in the snow.

Li Brother Yuanping's complexion was still pale, but compared to the past two years, he was more withered, and his hair had turned slightly white, but he deliberately dyed it black, making him look younger instead.

The demonic cultivators came and went, and I don't know how many lives were taken on the road. The Li family spent several months inquiring about the news. One said that this group of demonic cultivators wandered to the territory of the Ziyan Sect, and others said they were wandering on the Xunlin Plain.

"If there's a headache, it should be the Yuan family's headache."

This matter was naturally the sending of troops to the East Bank that Li Brother Yuanping had been thinking about for a long time, subduing the chaotic families near the East Bank, and rectifying an order.

"Family head, it's time."

After speaking, he flicked his finger and revealed a pitch-black jade bead. Li Ye Qiuyang hurriedly took it and looked at it carefully.

This jade bead was about the size of a fist. Li Ye Qiuyang reached out and took it, feeling a slight numbness in his hand, and it was heavy. It was pitch-black, and nothing could be seen.

Li Ye Qiuyang looked at it for a while, but didn't find any clues. He checked it with his spiritual sense for a few breaths and asked suspiciously:

"Senior, this spiritual item is rare. I haven't seen it before. Our shop doesn't collect many spiritual items. Please forgive me... Is it a Qi Refining-level spiritual item?"

"Hahaha!"

The black-robed cultivator sneered, slammed the long sword in his hand on the table, making a loud noise, startling Li Ye Qiuyang and Li Li Yuanyun. The cultivator said in a hoarse voice:

"Opening a shop, and you can't even recognize a spiritual item! Is this the level of the Mount Lijing Li family?! Ridiculous?!"

As soon as this was said, Li Ye Qiuyang's face changed suddenly, and a burst of secret anger rose in his heart, thinking:

"It seems he's here to smash the place!"

Although this person was not good, Li Ye Qiuyang still endured it and said submissively:

"Please wait a moment, Senior. This little one will go and invite the shopkeeper... He is knowledgeable and will definitely recognize this thing."

As he said this, he handed the treasure bead to him with both hands. The black-robed cultivator seemed to have no fear, took the treasure bead casually, waved his hand, and said:

"Get lost!"

Li Ye Qiuyang endured it and went down. The black-robed cultivator greedily looked around, staring at the furs and spiritual items in the shop, humming and muttering.

Li Li Yuanyun in the corner silently shrank into the darkness, not daring to make a sound, until Li Li Xuanxuan came down from upstairs with a thud and said with a smile:
