Chapter 384
Heaven and earth in the mirror.
Li Yuanjiao flew all the way from the desolate mountain temple to Shanjie Prefecture. The Embryonic Breath cultivation techniques read by Lu Jiangxian were one hundred and thirty-one, thirty-six Qi Refining cultivation techniques, and two Foundation Establishment cultivation techniques, all piled up in front of the case, full.
'Another two Foundation Establishment spells, "Yimu Talisman Art" and "Mountain Mist Peak Sea Art", are Dao Foundations "Yimu Quan" and "Mist Return Yin" respectively...'
The books in front of Lu Jiangxian's case had piled up into a small mountain. He held Tu Longjian's "Runyang Method" and looked at it carefully. This method was the longest secret technique he had read, which really opened his eyes.
'It's the first time I've seen someone born with destiny.'
Li Yuanjiao would let Tu Longjian go, naturally Lu Jiangxian did not take action, letting Li Yuanjiao's thoughts be moved, and let this person go.
Under the illumination of the Immortal Mirror, Tu Longjian's back was red, and his power was quite amazing. Li Yuanjiao couldn't see it, but Lu Jiangxian could see it clearly.
'If Tu Longjian died in Li Yuanjiao's hands, it would disrupt the trend. When the Zifu traces back to the source, I'm afraid there will be big problems...'
Lu Jiangxian had also contacted many Zifu. Zifu could not exhaust the changes in the world, nor could they stare at anyone day by day. They just cultivated the destiny divine ability and colluded with each other, so they knew the general trend of the next situation.
Li Yuanjiao shouldn't have discovered this person, but destiny could not defeat the Immortal Mirror. If he killed and collected Tu Longjian and took the "Runyang Method", it might ruin the Zifu's big event.
Although the friendship between Xiao and Li was in front, the Zifu would naturally suspect Xiao Chuting, and Xiao Chuting would naturally suspect that it was the Zifu of the Li family, but Xiao Chuting was already walking on thin ice. Lu Jiangxian was afraid that the old man would not be able to hold on, and secondly, he was afraid that the Zifu would simply suspect the Li family.
'It's just what exactly is this destiny... it's very different from divine ability, and it affects others without a trace!'
Lu Jiangxian watched with his own eyes as Tu Longjian's destiny blood surged, making Li Yuanjiao change from killing intent to recruitment intent, and blood light appeared behind Li Yuanjiao. Who knew that Li Yuanjiao himself was suspicious, and forcibly turned the recruitment of Tu Longjian into a family destruction and disaster into a disaster relief.
'Vaguely there is the shadow of 【Qi Travel Swallowing Spirit】, it looks like... two destinies compromising with each other... but if Li Yuanjiao also has destiny, why have I never seen it?'
'Is it destiny playing with people or people playing with destiny...'
…………
Li Yuanjiao rode the clouds and mist, floating and flying. He had just obtained treasures, couldn't put them down, carefully experienced the wonders of them, and flew to the territory of the Profound Heaven Gate without knowing it.
His mood was always relaxed and happy, inexplicably having a sense of joy after the disaster, and he was more determined that this Tu Longjian had destiny. He stopped in front of the formation and put away the magic weapon.
Kong Tingyun came out after a few breaths, changed into a yellow feathered robe, much more solemn than when they met earlier, and smiled:
"Brother Jiao is here! Tingyun has been waiting for a long time."
Li Yuanjiao cupped his hands ceremonially, and Kong Tingyun said:
"Fellow Daoist, follow me to the salty lake, and talk in detail on the road."
The two rode the wind, but Li Yuanjiao asked first:
"How is your sect's harvest at the sea entrance?"
Kong Tingyun bent her eyebrows and smiled, and replied:
"Of course it is a rare big harvest. In such a big event of dividing the grotto-heaven, the things that fall from Qingchi's fingers are enough to eat full."
"I fought with this hook snake once, it was very difficult to deal with. It was afraid of the immortal sect behind me, did not dare to kill, fled in a hurry for a hundred miles, and changed to a place to occupy. I was afraid of scaring it away, and did not explore further."
Kong Tingyun explained:
"No need to be so troublesome."
Li Yuanjiao shook his head, rode the wind and landed on the water. The lake was surging with waves, and there were vaguely dragon snakes turning, occasionally revealing black scales and claws.
Not long after, a deep green turtle shrimp jumped out, shrinking its body, supported in the air by the waves, shivering. Li Yuanjiao said in a low voice:
"Where is the hook snake?"
After listening, Li Yuanjiao threw the turtle shrimp back into the salty lake and smiled:
"Seventy-two miles east of here, there is a desolate mountain in the lake, and the hook snake is in seclusion there."
"I forgot about your 【Vast Sea】!"
Kong Tingyun praised, the two rode the wind, and Li Yuanjiao opened his mouth:
"Fellow Daoist said earlier that this hook snake was driven away by the green water dragon. I wonder what kind of monster the green water dragon is."
Kong Tingyun said:
"Tingyun also asked the overseas Red Dragon Island. This green water dragon is not strong, but it was sent by a dragon palace in the seabed, with a deep background, so it drove away the hook snake..."
Li Yuanjiao only cared about the Foundation Establishment monster in the sea, and asked in confusion:
"Are there many monsters in the sea without any background like this hook snake?"
Kong Tingyun nodded slightly and replied:
"There are countless monsters overseas, and the East Sea is full of monster caves. Not to mention the East Sea, there are many in the salty lake, but the hook snake is the weakest."
The two were chatting, the desolate mountain had appeared in the distance, Kong Tingyun pinched the spell, clouds and smoke rose under their feet, Li Yuanjiao said in a low voice:
"I have a magic weapon for restraining breath."
Kong Tingyun's eyes lit up, nodded knowingly, and replied:
"Tingyun goes first, Brother Jiao follows."
Li Yuanjiao watched her ride the wind into the water, used the 【Dark-Patterned Bottle】, checked the surroundings, determined that there were no people or monsters ambushing, and then fell into the water.
The lake was already surging up and down, all kinds of fish and shrimp fled, Li Yuanjiao looked at the emerald green formation in front of him, and couldn't help but envy slightly:
"It is the Three Sects and Seven Gates, and the shot is a Foundation Establishment-level formation."
He approached slowly, the formation vibrated endlessly, Li Yuanjiao thought to himself:
'This woman probably won't collude with the monster to kill me... with the Immortal Mirror, I'm not afraid.'
So he used the 【Dark-Patterned Bottle】 to release water mist to cover himself, sneaked into the formation, and saw the filth surging everywhere, revealing a snake body the size of a water tank two feet thick, with scales shining on it, each piece the size of a palm.
This hook snake vibrated endlessly, and mourned:
"I have practiced for many years, and I was lucky enough to eat many spiritual beasts before I had today's Dao Foundation achievement. I came to the salty lake just to eat spiritual objects, and had no intention of offending. Can the lady see that my practice is not easy, spare my life, I will go far away immediately, and never return to the salty lake."
Kong Tingyun knew that Li Yuanjiao had entered the formation, said nothing, and tried her best to support. Li Yuanjiao stepped forward silently. The hook snake saw that she could not be persuaded, and then said fiercely:
"Little lady is so arrogant, trying to kill me with a formation! I will eat you at worst, and flee to the depths of the East Sea. Can Changxi come from ten thousand miles away to seek revenge!"
During the conversation, Li Yuanjiao had already reached one foot of the big snake. It was too close to scare the monster, so he pressed his sword and accumulated strength, waiting for the monster to raise its head high, bringing up a piece of sword arc.
"Ouch..."
The sword light flashed in the water for a moment, and a huge wound was cut at the seven inches of the hook snake, which shocked Kong Tingyun and sighed:
"What a bright sword technique."
The black dragon coiled up and entangled with the hook snake. The hook snake was too late to hate the opponent's despicable, Kong Tingyun's spells and Li Yuanjiao's sword energy smashed into it one after another, beating it over and over again.
This hook snake did not know what kind of Immortal Foundation it was, spit out two green lights, and the two poisonous hooks on the bifurcated tail jumped up. Kong Tingyun laughed and opened her mouth:
"Borrowing this treasure, I was waiting for you!"
So a light golden bead flew out of her sleeve, swaying and flying over, releasing bursts of golden light, stopping the snake monster's tail, and the other two green lights were also blocked by her shield-shaped magic weapon. Kong Tingyun said:
"Leave it to Brother Jiao!"
Kong Tingyun used the magic weapon to fix the double tail that was most threatening to the monster, and used the magic weapon to block the monster. Li Yuanjiao drew his sword again, forcing the snake monster to be embarrassed. Its mouth opened, and it spit out a bead.
This bead turned, and a stream of white cold air flowed out, freezing a piece of broken ice around it, but Li Yuanjiao's face was slightly strange.
At the moment, his finger hooked, 【Qi Travel Swallowing Spirit】 operated, and this cold air hit half of it into his hand. Li Yuanjiao laughed:
"Good snake bead, unfortunately, I don't understand spells, just use cold air to defend against the enemy, making people laugh."
The two hands closed, the cold air poured into his hands continuously, and the white bead could not turn, leaning towards Li Yuanjiao, the white air poured into his hands like a storm, leaving a long ice pillar in the water.
'The immortal sect disciples are really full of immortal methods...'
This hook snake was full of despair, and lost the snake bead again. Kong Tingyun threw a golden mountain in her hand, suppressing it. The hook snake became more and more powerless, and only died desperately:
"There is only one 【Zhiyuan True Water】 in the ground in the mountain, how can you two divide it!"
As soon as this word came out, Kong Tingyun's face changed greatly, slightly annoyed, pinched the spell in her hand, the golden mountain suddenly shone brightly, smashing the hook snake to vomit blood, the female cultivator scolded:
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Li Yuanjiao looked at her expression, and understood, stepped forward a few steps, grabbed the snake bead in his hand, cut off the connection between the two, put it into the storage bag, and said in a deep voice:
"Fellow Daoist, quickly solve the formation."
As soon as the voice fell, he had arrived in front of Kong Tingyun, pressed his sword with one hand, full of vigilance, Kong Tingyun pursed her lips and solved the formation. Li Yuanjiao took the formation disk into his hand without mercy, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
'I'm afraid she is blinded by greed and wants to surround and kill me here. Although this woman will definitely not be able to fight me, it will be a big deal if she offends Profound Heaven.'
Li Yuanjiao landed in front of the mountain, sealed the Dao Foundation of the snake monster, and then looked back, saying in a deep voice:
"Fellow Daoist, don't you explain?"
Kong Tingyun put away the beads and golden mountain, apologized:
"Tingyun did deceive you, Fellow Daoist. The two long hooks on the hook snake's tail are indeed what Tingyun needs, but the real one to take is this 【Zhiyuan True Water】."
She explained softly:
"Profound Heaven has secret methods. Tingyun observed the changes in the water veins many years ago. This place will give birth to a spiritual water. I am afraid that it will be taken by others, so I secretly covered the water veins, thinking that I would come to take it soon."
"I didn't expect this place to be occupied by this hook snake later. Tingyun just wanted to find a helper to remove this monster, so that I could take this spiritual water..."
Li Yuanjiao went out, and he had many means of deception, each according to his ability, without much anger, nodded and said:
"Actually, Fellow Daoist has never fought with this hook snake at all. You knew that this hook snake was here long ago, and many means earlier were just to cover up this desolate mountain..."
"As for not looking for fellow disciples, I'm afraid it's because your water vein covering technique was recognized by fellow disciples?"
Kong Tingyun smiled and nodded, replying:
"Not bad, I didn't expect this snake monster to discover this thing, wasting my efforts."
The two looked at each other, Kong Tingyun said in a deep voice:
"【Tail Hook】 and 【Zhiyuan True Water】 are what Tingyun must get! Please give up, Fellow Daoist..."
Li Yuanjiao narrowed his eyes slightly, took the withered hook snake at the bottom of the lake, and replied:
"I want the hook snake and the snake bead, and take another spiritual water to make up for me."
Kong Tingyun shook her head and said:
"You want too much, Fellow Daoist. Tingyun has no heaven and earth spiritual water. Please change the condition, Fellow Daoist..."
Li Yuanjiao weighed it for a moment, and couldn't think of what the family needed urgently, so he kicked the ball back and said in a low voice:
"It depends on what you can take out, Fellow Daoist."
Kong Tingyun saw that he didn't look like he was teasing, suddenly overjoyed, and guaranteed by patting her chest:
"Cultivation techniques, pills, magic weapons... my family lacks these the most. If you need them, Fellow Daoist, you can also rely on the relationship in the sect to help you get them!"
Kong Tingyun couldn't figure out his needs and bottom line, and didn't dare to open her mouth. Li Yuanjiao narrowed his eyes and thought, and replied:
"Can you get 【Tianyi Chunyuan】?"
【Tianyi Chunyuan】 belongs to the precious kind among many spiritual waters. It is not only a first-class healing medicine, but also can purify true essence and improve Dao Foundation, making miscellaneous Qi cultivators become righteous Qi cultivators.
The Li family has no miscellaneous Qi cultivators who need this thing. Li Yuanjiao thought about finding this thing for his sister to improve her Dao Foundation.
After saying this, Li Yuanjiao remembered that the "Purple Thunder Secret Yuan Art" was also changed. If it really changed the Dao Foundation, wouldn't it also cut off the Dao path.
Kong Tingyun shook her head repeatedly and replied:
"You look down on me, Fellow Daoist! This 【Tianyi Chunyuan】 is meta-water, Zifu level. I'm afraid only the Three Sects have it. If anyone in the predecessors got this kind of thing that can purify the Dao Foundation, they would have swallowed it themselves long ago. How could they leave it to their descendants."
Li Yuanjiao had to give up and asked:
"Does your sect have people who mine fire veins? Please help my Li family cultivate a fire vein, Fellow Daoist."
Kong Tingyun smiled and said:
"There are naturally some. My senior brother has gone out. When he returns after a period of time, he can go to your clan... to cultivate fire veins for your clan... just..."
"Why do you think I won't break my promise, Fellow Daoist?"
Kong Tingyun looked a little cunning, her big eyes blinked, and she stared at him with a smile. Li Yuanjiao shook his head and took out an emerald green formation disk from his storage bag, steadily saying:
"Your Foundation Establishment formation is still in my hands, Fellow Daoist, which must be much more valuable than the fire vein."
Kong Tingyun was stunned, didn't expect that he had thought of the last three steps when he took the first step, gritted her teeth, glared at him, but laughed out loud, just saying:
"Li Yuanjiao, you are the most cunning person I have ever seen."
Li Yuanjiao took back the formation disk, already calculating how to make the best use of this formation for nothing, and replied:
"You praise me, Fellow Daoist. Under Qingchi's rule, those who are not cunning and sinister have already died cleanly."
Kong Tingyun smiled slightly, pinched the spell, and searched for that spiritual water silently. Li Yuanjiao took the opportunity to ask:
"I wonder what kind of treasure this 【Zhiyuan True Water】 is?"
Kong Tingyun seemed to be in a good mood, hummed a tune, and smiled:
"Brother Yuanjiao, this 【Zhiyuan True Water】 is a fine product among heaven and earth spiritual water. You are cunning and decisive. I am afraid that if I tell you the use and value, you will turn your face and grab it from me, and the formation is in your hands. The little girl is really afraid."
Li Yuanjiao suddenly paused, retreated, Kong Tingyun glanced at Li Yuanjiao, and said softly:
"Is there any Foundation Establishment brother in your clan? A Foundation Establishment clansman who is similar in temperament to you and has not married into the Xiao family?"
Li Yuanjiao was confused and frowned:
"Not at all."
Kong Tingyun sighed slightly, lowered her eyebrows, and complained:
