Chapter 355: Soul Searching

Li Li Yuanjiao listened to Xiao Xiao Guiluan's explanation, his heart felt cold, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind:

'Where is Chi Buzi now? Did he hear any news about our family? Xiao Xiao Guitu just got the technique, and Luan'er went to visit immediately. Wouldn't Chi Buzi misunderstand?'

'Should I use the 【Mount Qingchi Sword】 to replace the immortal mirror!'

Li Li Yuanjiao believed that if this bronze immortal mirror were quietly placed in the mountain forest or some river ditch, even if the Early Zifu True Person came, he wouldn't be able to find it. Then place the Mount Qingchi Sword on it, and no one would be able to see anything.

He pondered in his heart, his legs stiff, and another possibility flashed through his mind:

'The speed of the Early Zifu is by no means comparable to Qi Refining. If Chi Buzi had arrived at Wangyue Lake long ago, he would be staring at it in Tai Xu right now!'

'But we can't sit still and wait for death! Early Zifu cultivators absolutely wouldn't be bored enough to waste time staring in Tai Xu! A sweep of divine ability would be enough to ask, Chi Buzi shouldn't be on the lake!'

Li Li Yuanjiao understood that the Early Zifu breaking through the air was only an instant. Theoretically, it was much faster than Xiao Xiao Guiluan's return. His thoughts turned a hundred times, but his actions didn't stop, and he said in a deep voice:

"Luan'er, you go back to Wutuo Mountain!"

After speaking, he had already gone to the backyard. Xiao Xiao Guiluan understood that the matter was urgent and went down like the wind. Li Li Xuanxuan was also greatly changed in color, wanting to speak but stopping.

Li Li Yuanjiao then stepped out, only to feel a warning in his mind, the Xuanzhu talisman seed in his Qi Sea acupoint moved violently, his whole body felt cold, and he had the illusion of being stared at by something dark.

"Oops!"

He stopped abruptly, only to find that the air in front of him suddenly turned black, slowly revealing a green-robed cultivator, standing with his hands behind his back.

This green-robed cultivator had a smile on his face, looking only twenty-seven or twenty-eight, his clothes fluttering, his long hair disheveled, staring at him quietly.

'True Person Chi Buzi...'

Li Li Yuanjiao's mouth was bitter. Chi Chi Buzi raised his head with interest, green clothes falling, and in his clean white right hand, he held a small, exquisite white jade bottle.

"What is this?"

Chi Buzi seemed to be asking plainly, but it made Li Li Yuanjiao break into a cold sweat.

The jade bottle in True Person Chi Buzi's hand was the Lu Pill that existed in the Li family's treasury!

The Lu Pill condensed by the immortal mirror!

'Chi Buzi has been to our family's treasury...'

Li Li Yuanjiao hurriedly bowed, made a terrified appearance, and said tremblingly:

"The Li family under the governance of Mount Qingchi, junior Li Li Yuanjiao greets True Person Chi Buzi!"

His voice was not loud or small, just enough for Li Li Xuanxuan, who was guarding outside, to hear clearly. Li Li Xuanxuan was terrified, got up to take the magic mirror.

He had only taken one step when Li Li Xuanxuan immediately reacted. The Early Zifu cultivator's spiritual sense was more than enough to cover the entire Mount Lijing Mountain. If he went to the backyard now, I'm afraid it would be in front of Chi Buzi.

Li Li Xuanxuan outside was like an ant on a hot pot, and Li Li Yuanjiao inside delayed time, almost immediately making a judgment:

'Chi Chi Buzi broke through Tai Xu and fell into our family's treasury for the first time... was attracted by the Lu Pill, and came to ask directly...'

Although Early Zifu cultivators could easily use Tai Xu to pass through most formations and enter the formation, spiritual sense could not pass through the formation, but had to go in in person to know what was inside.

And the Li family had five mountains, more than twenty large and small formations, plus small formations guarding spirit fields, I'm afraid there were hundreds. Chi Chi Buzi naturally couldn't look at them one by one.

Even Mount Lijing Mountain had five separate formations, three spirit fields, one ancestral hall, and one clan treasury.

'He only went to the treasury on the top of the mountain, and hasn't been to the ancestral hall yet!'

He had many thoughts in his mind, but Chi Chi Buzi stared at him and said softly:

"You actually recognize me?"

Li Li Yuanjiao bowed again and said respectfully:

"The small one has seen the portraits of the four True Persons of the sect. True Person Xiao Yuansi and True Person Li Yuanxiu are both white-haired True Persons who have attained the Dao. Only you and True Person Element are green-robed youths, and True Person Element has been guarding the southern border all year round, so it can only be you..."

"Not bad."

Chi Chi Buzi looked at him smilingly. Among the remaining four Purple Mansions of the Mount Qingchi Sect, Tang Tang Yuanwu, Si Si Boxiu, and Ning Ning Tiaoxiao were all cultivators of the same generation, the left and right arms of Chi Weiyun, so they were called by the Dao name Yuan.

He was a generation later. By the time he became Early Zifu, the Mount Qingchi Sect was no longer popular with Dao names, so he was just called Chi Buzi. Seeing Li Li Yuanjiao could call out so many Purple Mansions of the Mount Qingchi Sect, his smile became even wider, repeating:

"What is this?"

This naturally referred to the Lu Pill. Li Li Yuanjiao opened his mouth and said respectfully:

"This thing was obtained by the lower clan in the cave mansion, and it was obtained together with that Taiyin Moon Essence back then. The clan didn't recognize this pill, didn't know if it was good or bad, and feared the crime of carrying a jade, so they didn't dare to see people..."

Chi Chi Buzi waved his hand to interrupt him and said smilingly:

"This medicine has excellent breakthrough effects, quite rare. It looks like it was refined by ancient methods. Your family's opportunity is not shallow!"

Li Li Yuanjiao was about to answer, but suddenly felt a panic in his heart. The world in front of him suddenly turned gray and black, dark and misty, as if covered with a thin veil of darkness, becoming gray.

'Divine ability!'

His stomach cramped with pain, and his face was wet. Li Li Yuanjiao's consciousness broke into several pieces, vaguely floating out large sections of words.

He used his remaining consciousness to close his mouth, his lips trembling, and the talisman seed in his Qi Sea acupoint moved slightly, revealing a trace of cool airflow, maintaining Li Li Yuanjiao's consciousness, but not waking him up completely, so as not to expose any strangeness.

Li Li Xuanxuan outside was also affected by the divine ability. Fortunately, Chi Chi Buzi focused on Li Li Yuanjiao alone, and he was just dizzy for a moment, immediately understanding it was a divine ability.

Watching his consciousness become more and more confused, Li Li Xuanxuan felt his will was weak, so he slapped his own Shengyang Mansion and fell down with a thud.

Chi Chi Buzi didn't care at all what Li Li Yuanjiao's performance was. He just waited for Li Li Yuanjiao to kneel on the ground, his consciousness blurred, and lightly pressed his palm on his Shengyang Mansion, pressing on the space between his arrogant eyebrows, and pinched the formula with the other hand:

"【Fangyin Mount Jiuqiu Asking Heart Method】!"

This method was a pure technique-cultivator soul-searching technique, much higher than those half-baked techniques of demonic cultivators. It was once a forbidden method that hindered the Dao path, but in today's world, it had become an immortal method with a hundred benefits and no harm.

Li Li Yuanjiao performed flawlessly, and Chi Chi Buzi was too lazy to guess how this pill came about. Li Li Yuanjiao said the truth or disguised it to deceive him, he was too lazy to listen to Li Li Yuanjiao's details, soul-searching and soul-snatching, everything was clear.

Chi Chi Buzi was focused, closed his eyes slightly. He had used this technique many times, and it was invincible. Spiritual sense entered Li Li Yuanjiao's sea of consciousness, guiding all memories to emerge.

'The origin of this pill!'

He mobilized the magic, and rays of color appeared in his hand, entering along Li Li Yuanjiao's Shengyang Mansion, turning into one after another light gray talisman characters, jumping in his sea of consciousness.

Chi Chi Buzi's eyes were dark for a few breaths, and a dim secret room appeared, the lights were dim, the surroundings were icy and cold, and one or two white lights of magic were constantly shaking.

'This is... that cave mansion?'

Chi Chi Buzi's gaze flowed, and on the floor full of patterns, actually appeared one after another osmanthus trees, with one after another illusory white osmanthus flowers hanging on them, fragrant, but icy and cold.

'What is this... it's quite similar to the sect's Early Zifu spirit root 【Yueming Liuli Tree】.'

After all, it was the place where Taiyin Moon Essence was obtained, and it was normal to have some visions. Chi Chi Buzi moved his gaze away. In front was a blue stone high platform, covered with white mist, quite miraculous.

'This is...'

Chi Chi Buzi's heart moved, but he heard a clattering sound beside his ears, one after another golden-white osmanthus flowers fell, the stamens were like gold, fragrant and pleasant, appearing particularly dazzling in the mist-like moon essence.

"Rustle, rustle..."

The sound of movement sounded, and several toads jumped out from the dark corner, agile and cute, stepping on the osmanthus flowers all over the floor. "Li Li Yuanjiao" finally straightened up, letting Chi Buzi see clearly what was on the platform.

A blue-gray mirror.

The patterns and seal characters on it were ancient and mysterious. Before he could see it clearly, a pair of eyes suddenly appeared on the broken mirror surface.

Gentle, indifferent, majestic.

On the top of Mount Lijing Mountain, Chi Chi Buzi was hidden in his sleeves, his hands pinching the magic formula trembling violently, and blood tears fell from his tightly closed eyes, winding down his cheeks, looking particularly terrifying,

"Drip, drip."

Those two drops of blood tears fell on the blue stone floor, shattering two bricks with a bang, like two beads rolling on the ground, making a series of crisp sounds.

————

Chi Buzi came too suddenly, which was the evil result of giving Li Li Chijing Taiyin Moon Essence to cultivate the Dao foundation back then.

Although Si Si Yuanbai back then was afraid of harming the Li clan, claiming it was obtained by himself, he deceived the Purple Mansions, but no one expected that it would break out suddenly many years later. After all, there were greedy people who held a fluke mentality and came to the Li clan in person.

"Finally have to face it..."

Although the immortal mirror hadn't recovered its strength, its position was extremely high. Once calculated, it was equivalent to calculating characters above the Dao fetus. Lu Lu Jiangxian had borrowed it back then and had long since experienced it.

Whether it was Master Monk Minghui or Jinlian Moha, they were just following Li Li Qinghong's roots and were led by Lu Lu Jiangxian to the magic mirror, and immediately suffered a big loss.

And the talisman seed of the magic mirror was even more overbearing. Those who received the Xuanzhu talisman seed in the Li family, soul, life number, and cultivation were all on the talisman seed. As long as Lu Lu Jiangxian was unwilling, no one could move them.

And now Chi Buzi searched Li Li Yuanjiao's soul, which should have been nothing, but Lu Lu Jiangxian saw him not giving up, secretly terrified. After all, if Li Li Yuanjiao's soul search failed, it would be even more suspicious.

It was tangled and unclear, and finally, the family would be exposed. Taiyin Profound Light was only at the Foundation Establishment realm. Although the power of killing the peak of Foundation Establishment in seconds was enough to threaten the Early Zifu, Chi Chi Buzi was not a stationary target. If he escaped into Tai Xu, he couldn't be kept.

Watching Chi Buzi launch soul searching, touching the magic mirror, Lu Lu Jiangxian gritted his teeth and secretly thought:

'Simply use the talisman seed as a springboard and immediately connect to this Chi Chi Buzi's magic.'

Lu Lu Jiangxian was not good at soul-searching techniques, but after so many years, he was quite amazing in the Witch Talisman Dao. At the moment, moon essence surged, life numbers connected, the immortal mirror lit up, and he slammed into Chi Chi Buzi's sea of consciousness.

"Although I haven't recovered, my divine sense far exceeds ordinary spiritual sense. Only by relying on this technique to backlash can I get a line of life!"

Li Li Yuanjiao's consciousness floated in a daze for a long time, suddenly cleared up and down, a cool meaning rose from the Qi Sea acupoint, suddenly opened his eyes, in front of him was Chi Chi Buzi's palm, pressing on his eyebrows. All around was black and dim, the corner was dark, and the atmosphere was gloomy, which was the time when the evil spirit was the heaviest.

The sky had already darkened, and it seemed that nearly an hour had passed. The bloody dim sunset flowed in the sky with dark red clouds, which didn't look like a good omen.

He looked around, and the ground was full of bright red jade beads, lying quietly, reflecting dazzling light, flashing one by one in the dim scenery, quite beautiful.

"True Person?"

Li Li Yuanjiao called out cautiously, not knowing what Chi Chi Buzi had done to him with divine ability, silently lowering his head.

'Our family is not dead... Chi Chi Buzi shouldn't have discovered anything.'

Chi Chi Buzi had no response.

Li Li Yuanjiao felt a trace of unease in his heart, and it took a long time to slowly retreat. Chi Chi Buzi still didn't say a word, his sleeves hanging alone. Li Li Yuanjiao looked up, the True Person's face was gloomy, his eyes tightly closed.

The dim sunset shone on Chi Chi Buzi's face, and two lines of shocking blood tears fell, winding down his cheeks, looking particularly terrifying,

"Drip, drip."

The blood on Chi Chi Buzi's cheeks flowed, and two drops of blood beads fell from his chin, turning into crystal red jade beads as soon as they landed, colliding with the jade beads on the ground one after another, making a series of crisp collision sounds.

Li Li Yuanjiao finally understood how these jade beads on the ground came from. He felt relieved and terrified, retreated a step, and Chi Chi Buzi still stood like a sculpture in the dim sunset, motionless.

Li Li Yuanjiao used his spiritual sense to sweep Chi Chi Buzi carefully, only feeling that there was nothing in front of him, and there was no such pressure anymore.

The jade bottle containing the Lu Pill in his sleeve fell to the ground, already shattered, and the Lu Pill rolled out, staying in the brick seam.

He silently moved out of the courtyard, father Li Li Xuanxuan fell straight to the ground, Li Li Yuanjiao touched his nose, stable and long, with blood on his head, should have been knocked unconscious.

Li Li Yuanjiao immediately flew up with the wind, spiritual sense swept over, the two clan soldiers outside the courtyard might have been affected by the magic, sleeping together, snoring like thunder.

Watching someone swaying and about to wake up, Li Li Yuanjiao hurriedly fell back into the courtyard, closed the courtyard door, helped Li Li Xuanxuan up, and cast magic to wake up his consciousness.

Li Li Xuanxuan woke up leisurely, looked at Li Li Yuanjiao in a daze, terrified, and asked:

"Where is that True Person?!"

Li Li Yuanjiao smiled miserably, shook his head, helped Li Li Xuanxuan up, opened the courtyard door, and the two clan soldiers stood straight, not looking like they were sleeping together at all.

"Go and invite Li Qinghong and Brother Yuanping!"

The two clan soldiers went down. Li Li Yuanjiao then pulled Li Li Xuanxuan to the courtyard behind.

The sky was getting darker, Chi Chi Buzi still stood in the courtyard, two lines of blood tears dripping continuously, Li Li Xuanxuan felt dizzy, and a pile of red jade beads rolled in front of him, crystal clear.

"Jiao'er..."

Li Li Xuanxuan used his spiritual sense to sweep up and down, the person stood quietly like a jade pillar, he couldn't believe it, confirmed it repeatedly.

Chi Chi Buzi's divine ability colorful light behind his head, his surging momentum, and the pressure of walking in Tai Xu all disappeared, leaving only a thin green robe covering his jade-like flesh.

Chi Chi Buzi's face was slightly painful, blood tears didn't stop.

"... is it fallen... is it fallen..."

Li Li Xuanxuan's face was pale, staggered back a few steps, without a trace of relief and pride, only the fear that made his hands tremble.

"Mount Qingchi Sect... how many years has it been since a Early Zifu was killed..."
