Chapter 401: Breakthrough (Thanks to Loughshinny for the Alliance Leader)

"Uncle... please restrain your grief."

Seeing Li Yuanjiao, Li Xijun bowed and said a few words of comfort. Li Yuanjiao nodded and said in a deep voice:

"You let Kongheng go over!"

Li Xijun took a deep breath and said respectfully:

"Nephew has confidence... Kongheng cultivates the ancient methods of the Buddhist sect... his strength is low. Although he is politely called a Dharma Master, his strength is no more than the early stage of Qi Refining. Moreover, this person's nature is bright..."

Li Yuanjiao couldn't listen anymore. With a slight look of anger, the green ruler sword in his hand didn't leave its sheath, but he struck Li Xijun on the back, causing Li Xijun to stagger. Li Yuanjiao broke the silence:

"How can you gamble on this!"

Li Xijun bowed and said:

"Please trust nephew. Kongheng is a bright person, Xijun will not misjudge him. He has been watching over the common people and saving lives at the foot of the mountain for many years, waiting for this opportunity..."

Li Yuanjiao frowned and said coldly:

"What does his Kongheng's opportunity have to do with me? Whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with my family! Why should my family take risks?"

"I don't care how many years he has been waiting for this opportunity. The Buddhist sect is full of people who eat lives! You have a good personal relationship with him and are willing to fulfill him, but I am not willing!"

After hearing this, Li Xijun raised his head and replied:

"If Kongheng can break through, he will be a Buddhist Dharma Master, and he will be very strong among the Foundation Establishment cultivators... He received this great kindness... and will add another combat force to my family..."

"Nephew understands Uncle's hatred in his heart, but in the countries within the sea, the Buddhist sect already occupies six out of ten. My family has offended the Wrathful Dao lineage and can no longer go north. Do we still have to provoke another orthodox Liaohai Temple..."

Li Yuanjiao scolded:

"That is your aunt breaking through to Foundation Establishment!"

Li Xijun knelt down and said in a low voice:

"Uncle! Aunt's Foundation Establishment will definitely not have any accidents! No matter who wants to use, eat, or lead the fate..."

He raised his head and said in a deep voice:

"At least one must be Foundation Establishment to be qualified to be harmed! If Kongheng is not possessed by Jinlian Mohe, how could he escape the eyes of the Yuan family and Senior Wushao? If he is Jinlian Mohe, he must also wait for Aunt to break through before eating her life, and it must have been discussed with the crowd of Zifu cultivators. My family cannot hide!"

"If he intends to harm her, how much difference can there be between Wangyue Lake and Tianlei Peak!"

Li Yuanjiao narrowed his eyes and looked at him, saying coldly:

"And how do you know how much difference there is!"

He immediately restrained Li Xijun, sealed his cultivation, rode the wind to the ancestral hall, creaked open the gate, threw him into the main hall, and said in a deep voice:

"Kneel for me! Wait for me to catch Kongheng back!"

Li Xijun lowered his head and agreed. Li Yuanjiao turned and left, rode the wind and left the mountain. Li Ximing was slow to react, hurriedly chased out of the courtyard, wanting to persuade Li Yuanjiao, but was stopped by Xiao Guiluan.

"Lady! This... there is no change on Tianlei Peak, why get so angry!"

Li Ximing persuaded, but Xiao Guiluan shook her head helplessly and said softly:

"Go back... go back... The uncle and nephew are acting for Kongheng to see, don't get involved."

"Ah!"

Li Ximing was stunned, responded twice, although he was a bit loose, he was not a stupid person, understood, and rode the wind back.

Xiao Guiluan persuaded Li Ximing back, landed on the peak, picked up Li Yueshang who was greeting her, and thought to herself:

"Husband still doesn't like the Buddhist sect..."

Lijing Town Main Hall.

Kneeling under the steps of the main hall was an old man, his beard and hair were all white, with the cultivation of the ninth level of Qi Refining, his expression was very solemn, he bowed respectfully and said in a deep voice:

"Report to the Family Head, thank you Family Head for the convenience you have given my father and daughter over the years. The Meng clan is grateful. Now I am old and confused, I am afraid I can no longer refine magic tools for your noble family, I am willing to offer the inheritance!"

"Offer the inheritance?"

Li Yuanping looked at the old man in front of him and frowned:

"Old Meng is joking, my family has no intention of coveting the senior's inheritance."

Meng Taizhi lowered his eyebrows and eyes, and replied:

"The old man thinks he doesn't have many years to live, so he is preparing to go into seclusion to break through to Foundation Establishment. It was a helpless move, a gamble before death. I only seek to find a way out for my daughter... I am willing to use the inheritance I have obtained to exchange for protection."

Li Yuanping couldn't figure out his background and shook his head slightly, but Meng Taizhi said:

"The inheritance I obtained was from the 【Jiaozhu Sect】 of the East Sea, it is definitely not an ordinary object. Family Head, please listen to me first..."

The old man knelt on the ground and said respectfully:

"The inheritance I obtained comes from the 【Jiaozhu Sect】. The Dao lineage has been cut off for a thousand years. The kindness and hatred have all dissipated, clean and tidy, without cause and effect. Family Head can rest assured to adopt it."

"Furthermore, there are nine refinements and six castings in this Dao, which is definitely not an ordinary casting technique. As long as one has the talent for this Dao and cultivates diligently, the achievements will definitely not be low. Not to mention casting Foundation Establishment magic tools, at least one can have Qi Refining."

"Oh?"

Li Yuanping looked at him quietly and asked:

"What does the old man want? Is it to marry off his daughter?"

Meng Taizhi bowed again and said in a low voice:

"The old man dare not... My daughter originally had a marriage contract and married an East Sea hero, but was later killed by someone. My daughter was also injured by magic light, cutting off her lineage..."

Li Yuanping nodded, his expression relaxed slightly. Meng Taizhi continued:

"I only ask for two things. First, I hope to let my daughter learn a few alchemy skills from the Young Master, so that she can make a living and not be bullied by others."

"Second, after I die, your noble family can give some protection to preserve this lonely daughter for a few years. When she has strength, she will definitely not trouble your noble family, she will go out to venture on her own and will not stay long."

Li Yuanping looked at him intently and asked:

"The old man came from the East Sea, did he not cause trouble..."

Meng Taizhi shook his head and said quite frankly:

"I might as well be straight with the Family Head. My family was just East Sea loose cultivators, later destroyed by demonic cultivators, only because my ancestors had some connection with the Xiao family, so I went to rely on the Xiao family all the way... All the way here, only the father and daughter were left, even my son-in-law died on the road..."

"So that's how it is."

Li Yuanping replied indifferently and asked:

"But I specifically checked, there is no Meng family of refiners in the East Sea recently, and it is rare to see any refiners leave the East Sea."

Meng Taizhi shook his head with a bitter smile and replied:

"My family was originally a guest of the small sect 【Yuanting Island】, later destroyed by demonic cultivators, so I wandered outside. Family Head can follow the investigation, the Xiao family also knows."

Li Yuanping nodded and asked again:

"Then why didn't you hand over this vessel Dao inheritance to the Xiao family? Protection by a Zifu immortal clan, wouldn't it be better? My family is just a noble family, how can it compare?"

Meng Taizhi shook his head, looking very helpless, and smiled bitterly:

"Naturally, I have already given it, so I had the opportunity to come to the lake. Otherwise, what could a little connection from hundreds of years ago count for? I couldn't even step into the threshold of the immortal clan."

Li Yuanping stared at him and nodded:

"Old man, hand over the inheritance, then send your daughter up the mountain. I will contact the Xiao family on my end."

"Thank you! Thank you, Family Head!"

Meng Taizhi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, thanked him with a smile, and hurriedly retreated. Li Yuanping greeted Li Xicheng on the side and ordered:

"Let Ximing write a letter to Senior Yuansi, ask if this is true. If it is true, then take this inheritance."

Li Xicheng looked at his face, hesitated, and reminded:

"But Ming brother... is easily moved by beauty... if he has feelings with this Meng clan... if he hides any hatred, when someone comes to the door..."

"It doesn't matter, find Senior Yuansi to confirm it first."

Li Yuanping explained:

"As long as this person's explanation has no problems, after a few years, this person will leave, it doesn't matter."

"Meng Zhuoyun is naturally not a problem."

Li Xicheng hesitated:

"I'm afraid that when the time comes, Ming brother will be reluctant to let go and want to keep people..."

Li Yuanping sneered and said straight:

"What feelings can this brat have? He is completely heartless. He has fooled around with several girls in the Xiao family, perhaps left seeds, have you ever seen him ask about anyone? There are many concubines, and have you seen him speak a word for anyone?"

He was a bit dejected, shook his head and said:

"The first thing in this child's heart is his own Great Dao. Female beauty is just a pastime. Everything else has to step aside in front of his Great Dao... After raising him for so many years, I have seen through him."

Li Yuanping coughed twice, bent down in pain, Li Xicheng hurriedly went to support him, passed some true essence in, Li Yuanping rested for a while, and only then slowly recovered.

He said lightly:

"Let him be, anyway, the Meng clan cannot have descendants, it is fine for the two to be close, it is fine to have an affair, let him pass the time, when the time comes, let the Meng clan leave."

Li Yuanping's expression was calm, and he said in the affirmative tone of a father:

"He is more heartless than anyone, he will not keep her."

Li Yuanjiao had always been cautious in riding the wind, covering it with Xuanwen spirit mist, and with the blessing of 【Xingqi Tunling】, the speed was extremely fast.

The biggest blessing of 【Xingqi Tunling】 to Li Yuanjiao was the increase in cultivation speed. His cultivation speed since childhood could not compare to Li Qinghong, but under this Lu Qi, he caught up all the way to the current level.

"Xi Jun... trusts this monk very much!"

Li Yuanjiao rode the mist and pondered carefully.

He had carefully asked the Xiao family about Kongheng's affairs, and had also talked with several fellow Daoists in private. Ancient Buddhist cultivators had the saying of crossing the tribulation. If several Jinlian Mohe in the north came as incarnations, they wouldn't be able to hide from the Immortal Mirror.

That was what was said. Although Li Yuanjiao was acting just now, he secretly got a little angry, not against Kongheng, but Li Xijun's protection of Kongheng in his words:

"Your grandfather died at the hands of the Buddhist sect, your great-grandfather also died at the hands of the Buddhist sect, and in the end, you actually protect a Buddhist cultivator like this!"

Li Yuanjiao also knew Kongheng's character, but it was hard to accept. He just sighed and drifted down on the mushroom forest plain.

The mushroom forest plain was a fertile land, the green forest was lush, crossing this forest, one could see black mountains rising, the mountain was full of large and small holes, and the surroundings were blocked.

The ore on this mountain is entirely purple-black, faintly stirred by lightning, and from time to time, thunderbolts strike down, emitting bursts of violent roaring. There is an array protecting the mountain, so Li Qinghong must be inside.

Li Yuanjiao just landed at the foot of the mountain, and someone hurriedly came over on the wind, only Qi Refining cultivation, and said respectfully:

"Senior, this is my Yuan family territory, what instructions do you have?"

Li Yuanjiao waved his sleeves and said in a deep voice:

"Qingdu Li Yuanjiao."

This Yuan family Qi Refining cultivator immediately understood and bowed:

"Senior, please go up the mountain, Senior Wushao is in the courtyard."

Li Yuanjiao nodded, flew up, Xuanwen spirit mist shrouded, hid his figure, and heard a roar from far away:

"Stinky monk, what scripture are you chanting again!"

Li Yuanjiao's mouth twitched slightly. Li Wushao had always been fierce and poisonous, rarely losing his composure like this. Looking up, the black-clothed youth was standing on the courtyard wall with a irritable face.

"Wushao fellow Daoist... this is called "Zunxiu Fuzhe Yan", the seven northern paths are best at using this scripture to subdue monsters... you should listen more, and have a defense in the future."

In the courtyard, Kongheng was bare-chested, his smile was very peaceful, and he was pinching golden light in his hands. Li Yuanjiao was slightly startled. In less than three years, this person had actually become a Dharma Master!

Li Wushao looked at him through gritted teeth, looking very headache, Kongheng said softly:

"Fellow Daoist, remember, calm your mind, steady your heart, I will teach you a few formulas, which can resist this path."

"Go to your mother."

Li Wushao scolded, but didn't make any moves, obediently listening, Kongheng then rambled on for hundreds of words, Li Wushao remembered them all, and wondered:

"Monk, I heard that the northern Buddhist sect likes to capture monsters, control and tame them, and confuse their minds. Is there such a thing?"

"Naturally there is."

Kongheng frowned and said in a deep voice:

"Once controlled by this magic, it is not something that can be compared to handing over the spirit... it will be addicted to it, and from body to heart, it will change completely, becoming a so-called spirit beast."

Li Wushao shook his head with lingering fear and asked:

"Then wouldn't you also capture monsters?"

"Not so."

Kongheng shook his head:

"The technique is self-crossing, not crossing others. If you use the technique to confuse people's minds, it is an evil path and cannot see the World Honored One."

Li Wushao looked at him and smiled and nodded:

"Not bad."

Kongheng nodded, looking like he didn't care much about his own Dao lineage, sat down cross-legged, a bit worried:

"I don't know if Xijun will be implicated by me..."

Li Wushao sat on one side and persuaded:

"If you ask me, since you have become a Dharma Master, you might as well go back early... so as not to cause trouble here. You just broke through, I have already sent the news back."

Kongheng said in a low voice:

"I will watch here, in case something happens, I can have a response. I am now a Dharma Master, and I can fight Foundation Establishment."

Li Yuanjiao listened for a few sentences, rode the wind down, revealed his figure, startling Kongheng and Li Wushao to jump on the spot. Li Wushao was so frightened that he almost returned to his original form, and said timidly:

"Wushao has seen the Master!"

He stole a glance at Li Yuanjiao, saw his expression was as usual, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Kongheng looked at him with thin eyes with some unease and replied:

"Little monk has seen fellow Daoist."

"Dharma Master is polite."

Li Yuanjiao said quite calmly:

"Since the Dharma Master has successfully broken through, why not return with me."

"Yes."

Kongheng responded and said respectfully:

"However, my temple's secret method needs to lead the Void Yin Thunder. Little monk used the Xuan Thunder to form a pool to cultivate when Qinghong fellow Daoist condensed the Immortal Foundation. Since little monk has already broken through, presumably Qinghong fellow Daoist will also be successful soon."
