These things that were like talismans but not talismans surged up and down, circling and condensing into a small gray-green mirror, emitting flashing magic light. At a glance, it was not an ordinary object; it was the treasure that the Li family obtained in the cave dwelling in Li Li Yuanjiao's memory.

'So it was this guy's backup plan.'

How could Chi Chi Buzi not recognize it? He stared at it for a few moments, regretting his greed for a breath. Who could have thought that the Taiyin moonlight was the bait released by this old thing?

Chi Chi Buzi paused, immediately suppressed the greed in his heart, and pondered:

'This old thing is a monster from who knows what year or month, but there is no rush. First, trick the secret news out of his mouth... Perhaps my opportunity to form a Dan and seek nature lies within it!'

The witchcraft technique was still planted in his own soul, but Chi Chi Buzi was not afraid at all, staring at the talisman energy:

'Just a witchcraft technique. When the True Monarch comes out of seclusion in eighty-three years, it will be easy to resolve this technique. It is just that ancient objects are rare, so I must trick it into my hands before seeing the True Monarch!'

He was silently observing when this Water Prefecture Liu Xianguan suddenly became vigilant and replied:

"What does it have to do with you? This is my own immortal position inheritance, bestowed by the Immortal Court. Do not covet it."

Chi Chi Buzi didn't take in a single word of the whole sentence; only four words remained in his mind:

'Immortal position inheritance!'

'The opportunity of a Dao-Fetus Immortal!'

Chi Chi Buzi breathed heavily twice, his expression gloomy and uncertain, and a thought popped into his mind:

'Is it true or false? This old thing still thinks there is some Immortal Court... If it is true, how could Lushui keep me? The True Monarch is vicious. Once the adults know, where would there be any need for the Mount Qingchi Sect? I fear it is not just a matter of my own life.'

Chi Chi Buzi's thinking was agile. In just a short moment, he deduced many possibilities:

'Since that is the case, rather than being silenced and robbed, it is better to find a reason to escape overseas and slowly plot this inheritance...'

He touched the corner of his eye, only then noticing his terrible situation, and organized his thoughts:

'Investigating Wangyue Lake... searching the souls of the Li family... being taken advantage of by this old thing to escape...'

All three of his divine abilities had varying degrees of damage, and there was even a force of moonlight energy running wild in his body, which should have been caused by looking directly at the immortal position.

'It is just a matter of recuperating for a dozen years.'

Chi Chi Buzi did not feel there was anything wrong. Having come into contact with such an ancient old thing, his current loss was already as light as could be, not to mention that the so-called immortal position was obviously an extraordinary thing.

"First, fix the two eyes!"

Stroking his sleeves, Chi Chi Buzi scooped up mud and water by the river, rubbed out two mud balls the size of thumbs, opened his pitch-black eye sockets, and pushed and squeezed them gently.

These two mud balls replaced the position of the eyeballs perfectly. Chi Chi Buzi closed his eyes and moved them, pinched a divine ability, and rays of colorful light rose. When he opened his eyes again, they were black and white.

'Just make do with them for now! I estimate I lost my eyes by looking directly at this immortal position. I will return to the sect to take a few strands of blood energy and then make better ones.'

With eyes, the world in front of him became much clearer, and his thinking became more agile.

Although he had the powerful evidence of this old thing destroying his sea of consciousness, Chi Chi Buzi still could not believe it in his heart, secretly saying:

"How could a Dao-Fetus inheritance be so easy to obtain? This damn immortal position spiritual sense cannot scan through it... who knows what it is, but if Lushui believes it, where would I have a way to live."

Chi Chi Buzi thought of this, suddenly remembered something, his expression froze, and he said in a deep voice:

"Old thing, does the Li family know about you?!"

The Water Prefecture Liu Xianguan said slowly:

"I hid in their house for decades, never spoke, and had long since erased the memories of those few people."

The Liu Xianguan said it lightly, but it concerned his own life and death. How could Chi Chi Buzi agree? He whispered:

"I will go silence them! And take back the divine ability magic power I leaked!"

Although Mount Qingchi and Mount Mount Dali had an agreement not to blood-sacrifice the North Foothills, killing a few people was no problem. As for the divine ability magic power, he naturally referred to the blood beads all over the ground just now.

Chi Chi Buzi was not greedy for that bit of spiritual material; the blood beads would dissipate after an hour or three, but he was afraid of being used by someone with ulterior motives. Just as he broke through the Great Void, he saw this Liu Xianguan obstructing him, cursing:

"You dare to do this kind of harmful thing!"

So he spoke with certainty, counting one, two, three, four points, which made Chi Chi Buzi sigh low, having to withdraw his steps, and said coldly:

"Truly an old antique! We are not the same kind as mortals and low-level cultivators. With divine abilities, we actually still have to be constrained by the morality fabricated by the secular world. It is truly ridiculous!"

The Liu Xianguan snorted coldly, and just as he was about to speak, Chi Chi Buzi said in a deep voice:

"Old thing, let me ask you, when the world first opened, it was vast and empty. Were there such things as morality, laws, and honor and inferiority?"

The Liu Xianguan was stunned and replied:

"There should not have been..."

Chi Chi Buzi smiled coldly and said:

"Later, when the Great Beginning gave birth to humans, the former were honored, the latter were inferior, the strong were emperors, and the weak were slaves. So-called morality was initially just rules formulated by the honored to control the inferior, by the emperor to enslave the servants, and by the master to tame the grandson."

"So the master died of old age, the grandson took the position, became shrewd, and also wanted to maintain this set of order. Year after year, it became honor and inferiority, morality and ritual systems."

"If you want it to exist, it exists; if you ignore it, it does not exist. Morality and laws are fabricated illusions. Since I am now the honored one and I wield divine abilities, I can naturally set the rules. Why should I submit to the delusions of the dead!"

The Liu Xianguan was furious and cursed:

"You slaughter the common people, harming the harmony of heaven, are you not afraid of karmic retribution!"

Chi Chi Buzi sneered, his voice like a deep undercurrent, and muttered:

"Karma is a toy in the hands of the Maha, and the common people are the cattle and sheep under my divine abilities. Do you think these cattle and sheep are very cute? They hate me to the bone, yet they wish they could replace me."

"As for retribution."

His smile became more and more exaggerated, and he replied:

"It is a powerless wail, a pathetic delusion."

Although the place where Chi Chi Buzi landed was far away, it was still within Lu Lu Jiangxian's spiritual sense. With the witchcraft technique in his soul and the blessing of spiritual sense, even Chi Chi Buzi's psychological activities could be perceived by Lu Lu Jiangxian.

"Chi Chi Buzi came suddenly, I can only deal with it like this..."

Anyway, even Early Zifu cultivators could not see through the talisman energy. Lu Lu Jiangxian naturally boasted, trying his best to say it was something even the Jin Dan coveted. As long as Chi Chi Buzi did not dare to gamble on Lushui's vision, he would naturally not go to report it.

As for the Liu Xianguan's soul, it was naturally under Lu Lu Jiangxian's control and had a fairly high degree of autonomous consciousness. Combined with the complete Immortal Court system from his previous life and the incantations and rituals of the mirror, it was enough to deceive Chi Chi Buzi for a period of time.

Even if there were any contradictions, the Liu Xianguan would think that he had lost most of his memories and would naturally not suspect that he was a soul fabricated by someone.

As long as Chi Chi Buzi did not dare to find Lushui, with that soul watching him at all times, once there was a possibility of leakage, the follow-up measures Lu Lu Jiangxian left behind would immediately make him die suddenly, which was much better than dying at Wangyue Lake.

"When this period of time passes, after using this guy up and ensuring that he cannot trace it back to me, it will be much easier."

Lu Lu Jiangxian felt relieved and even had some anticipation.

"That Liu Xianguan asked about current affairs, he will definitely look at Mount Qingchi's cultivation techniques and secret arts, at least he can ask about some things that only Purple Mansions can come into contact with. At that time, as long as Chi Chi Buzi comes to Wangyue Lake, I will connect with this soul and read his memories..."

His spiritual sense scanned around Wangyue Lake, and Lu Lu Jiangxian flipped through the treasure vaults of the various families again. There was nothing new, but the Ding family's inheritance had an extra set, which was a second-grade cultivation technique of no great use.

He recorded this technique and slowly landed back on the mirror. Chi Chi Buzi's blood beads all over the ground were still rolling around.

'It can be used.'

These blood beads contained Chi Chi Buzi's divine ability magic power. Although there was not much, the Witch Dao was best at using these magic blood objects. Such a quantity was enough for Lu Lu Jiangxian to make good use of it.

'It's just that I still need to give a hint and let the Li family offer them up.'

The Immortal Mirror's interference with the outside world, except for spiritual sense and Taiyin moonlight, was powerless. Unless someone touched the fate of the Immortal Mirror, let alone pulling people into the world within the mirror, they could not even move.

Therefore, although Lu Lu Jiangxian coveted these blood beads, he could only wait for the Li family to offer them up.

Li Li Yuanjiao and the others watched Chi Chi Buzi drive the wind away and looked at each other, obviously completely unexpected, and said in a low voice:

"Dangjiang Creek Water Prefecture Liu Xianguan? Immortal Prefecture?"

"He should have been possessed by some golden nature."

The Li family members still had some knowledge now. Li Brother Yuanping nodded slightly and replied:

"Elder brother said... but he saw that object in the house, how could a golden nature be generated..."

He stopped abruptly, exchanged glances with his father and brother, and tacitly changed the subject:

"Looking at the one occupying the True Person's body, he seems to be easy to talk to. I don't know what his outcome will be."

Li Li Xuansuan's expression relaxed a lot. He wiped the sweat on his forehead and said softly:

"I don't know if this True Person will recover and when he will return to take revenge on my family. The current plan... is to make two preparations."

"Jiao'er, what do you think about going overseas?"

Li Li Yuanjiao shook his head slowly and replied:

"At least there must be two Foundation Establishments in the family before we can consider opening a branch. Now, no matter who is sent overseas, they cannot stand firm; it is just a vain death."

He paused:

"My meaning is: why not quietly send Li Ximing to the Xiao family and discuss it with Ancestor Xiao Yuansi, and quietly foster him on his peak in the name of alchemy."

"Firstly, Ancestor Xiao Yuansi is a kind and thick-hearted elder. Li Ximing will not be wronged under his peak and will definitely be able to learn a lot of things, which is much better than staying at home."

Li Li Yuanjiao gradually returned to calm and said clearly:

"Secondly, if my Li family has an accident and the whole clan is wiped out, the Early Zifu will definitely silence us. Without divine abilities to cover us, fleeing anywhere will be of no avail... Xiao Xiao Chuting can protect Chen Chen Taojing, who is suspected of being a remnant of the immortal sect, and will most likely also use divine abilities to cover Li Ximing's tracks, leaving a spark for my family."

Li Li Xuansuan also sat down and sighed:

"Ancestor Xiao Yuansi has already helped my family too much. The grace of predecessors will eventually come to an end. If it were not for the necessity, I would not want to ask him."

Li Brother Yuanping, who was on the side, had been listening silently, nodded slightly, and bowed to retreat:

"I will go arrange it now."

Li Li Xuansuan nodded to him and turned to look at Li Li Yuanjiao:

"In this time of crisis, why don't you carry the Immortal Mirror with you, close the ancestral hall, and live on Wutuo Mountain for emergencies."

Li Li Yuanjiao pinched a magic spell, collected the red beads on the ground, took out a jade box, finished containing them, and looked at them in the moonlight.

These jade beads were bright red and glowing, faintly emitting gray mist, appearing exceptionally bright under the moonlight. Staring at them for a long time made one feel depressed and irritable, which was indescribable.

Li Li Yuanjiao then put them away, only feeling the talisman seed in his body jump slightly, and was secretly happy in his heart:

'It can actually serve as a sacrificial object! It is indeed a good thing.'

He replied:

"This matter is of great importance, I still need to consult the Immortal Mirror."

After speaking, he stepped inside, opened heavy formations, passed through the ancestral hall, pushed open the forbidden stone door, and bowed.

He said:

"Prayer: Li family disciple Li Yuanjiao, suffering from disaster, the clan is in danger and the Dao is precarious... Respectfully invite the Xuanming Upper Law to protect the body and guard the Dao... Pray to receive the upper edict."

He finished the whole process in a rambling way, performed a great ceremony, and the magic mirror above slowly retracted its light and fell in front of him, obviously the prayer was successful.

Li Li Yuanjiao had read several prayer methods bestowed by the magic mirror and had studied these miraculous prayers quite a bit. He originally did not understand why the magic mirror was so troublesome, only thinking that its status was extremely high.

But having just seen the golden nature claim to be: Liu Xianguan of the Dangjiang Creek Water Prefecture under the Immortal Monarch, Li Li Yuanjiao was shocked and associated it with the various aspects of the magic mirror, and a guess emerged:

'Perhaps there is a huge Immortal Prefecture behind the Immortal Mirror! It is located outside the heavens, and the Immortal Mirror is just a tool to communicate with the outside of the heavens!'

If this were the case, everything could be explained. Chi Chi Buzi met a certain requirement, perhaps he offended the Immortal Prefecture in his memory, or perhaps he became a physical sacrifice! Allowing a certain Liu Xianguan in the Immortal Prefecture to descend to the mortal world!

After this series of guesses, it seemed that the powerful force behind it was slowly surfacing. Li Li Yuanjiao did not dare to say more and could only hide it in his heart, a hot excitement rising in his heart:

'Body thanking Taiyin... could it be... as long as the cultivation base is sufficient, one can reach the Immortal Prefecture...'

Suppressing all these guesses, Li Li Yuanjiao respectfully put away the Immortal Mirror, stepped out of the backyard, nodded to his father, and said respectfully:

"Child will go to Wutuo Mountain to cultivate now!"

Li Li Xuansuan let out a long breath, nodded, watched the younger generation retreat, stepped forward to close all the formations, covered the traces in the secret room, and also retreated to cultivate.

Li Li Yuanjiao returned to Wutuo Peak, and Xiao Xiao Guiluan greeted him with concern, saying warmly:

"How is it?"

Li Li Yuanjiao shook his head and replied:

"Nothing, the True Person did not come, it was just a false alarm."

He changed the subject and said:

"The family is preparing to send Li Ximing to the Xiao family to learn alchemy, and it will trouble you to make a trip."

"Good."

Xiao Xiao Guiluan did not drag things out, responded crisply, and drove the wind away.

Li Li Yuanjiao felt slightly guilty. Xiao Xiao Guiluan had entrusted everything without reservation, but he, Li Li Yuanjiao, still had to hide some things, which inevitably made him feel uneasy.

After all, through Li Li Tongya's words and Li Li Yuanjiao's personal experience just now, the talisman seed could resist the Early Zifu's bewitching divine ability, and only those who had received the talisman seed could lie in front of the Early Zifu.

And Xiao Xiao Guiluan had no talisman seed; knowing too much would only harm her.

"Hmm?"

Li Li Yuanjiao suddenly remembered one thing and pondered:

"The Yu family is too quiet!"

Since he had brought out the Immortal Mirror, Li Li Yuanjiao simply sacrificed the blue-gray ancient mirror, which drifted up into the air, went to the northeast, passed through the mountain forest, and landed in the Yu family's cave dwelling.

The cave dwelling at the highest point had the most concentrated spiritual energy, guarded by heavy formations, and the cave entrance was also blocked tightly, reinforced with several layers of spiritual formations.

Li Li Yuanjiao entered it and saw bright broken jade rolling all over the floor, pale walls, green jade, red jade... jade stones all over the floor, reflecting each other. The cave dwelling was full of various crystals, and white fine salt was all over the floor.

The skeleton on the couch presented a jade-like color, but it was abruptly broken into two sections. The upper body skeleton fell to the ground, showing that the cross-section in the middle was smooth and flat, reflecting light like a mirror.
