Chapter 412

'So it is the Jin Yu Immortal Sect...'

Li Qinghong only heard him surnamed Zhang, and combined with this attire, she immediately understood. Zhang Yun did not want to be exposed and called himself a knife guest of the South. She naturally did not expose him.

'Zhang Yun...'

This name was very familiar. Combined with his previous tone, Li Qinghong thought of one person in an instant.

When Li Tongya broke into the snake demon's cave back then, he shared the spoils with a knife guest named Zhang Yun. Zhang Yun got the snake demon's treasure pearl and the "Blood Mo Dharma Book," and Li Tongya got the Du Ruo Spear and the "Jianghe Daling Sutra." This spear was still in Li Qinghong's hands today.

Li Qinghong estimated that this person should be the Zhang Yun from back then. Now, seventy or eighty years had passed, and he was almost about to cultivate into the Zifu.

'This is... the direct line of the Three Sects!'

She arched her hands lightly and replied:

"I have met the Senior. This junior is Li Qinghong, and Li Tongya is this junior's grandfather."

"So it is still the descendant of an old friend."

Zhang Yun glanced at her, his golden clothes fluttering, and said directly:

"The Immortal Foundation is not bad, and this thunder talisman also has some things. The spear technique is mediocre, and as for the escape technique, escape method, magic technique, and secret technique, none of them can be on the table. It is only enough to bully the aristocratic families, similar to the cultivators of the Seven Gates. If you face my Jin Yu Qingchi, you will lose more and win less."

Li Qinghong nodded in response. Zhang Yun swept his gaze over the two, stood with his hands behind his back, and asked:

"Since you know that I have a friendship with your family's elder, why don't you invite me in?"

Zhang Yun had spoken to this point, so Li Qinghong could only invite him down. The "Green Ox Leaning River Array" on Qingdu Peak was probably like a display in front of him. If he intended to harm them, he would have already taken action.

Zhang Yun didn't seem to see her suspicion, or didn't care at all. He landed on the mountain, looked at the Du Ruo all over the mountain, and said softly:

"Li Tongya... what a pity. Back then, I heard that he broke through to Foundation Establishment, and I thought that sooner or later I would have a formal fight with him! In the end, there was no opportunity."

After walking two steps, Li Qinghong was cautious and didn't dare to say much, while Zhang Yun talked to himself:

"The successor taught by Li Tongya is not bad, much stronger than me. Although my three sons have very good talent, because I have been in seclusion for many years, they lack discipline... and they have all been raised with arrogant tempers."

Zhang Yun seemed to suddenly realize that he had gone off-topic, and replied:

"However... I have come here this time, just to warn you about one thing:

"Do not interfere with the matter of Zhang Huaide, or any large or small things that happen on the river bank. I was sent to watch this matter personally, and I have some sympathy for Li Tongya, so I made this trip. You all take care of yourselves."

Li Qinghong said a thank you softly. Zhang Yun suddenly stopped, stood with his hands behind his back, and said softly:

"The 'Jianghe Daling Sutra' is in your family, right."

As soon as these words came out, Li Qinghong paused and replied:

"Reporting to Senior, it is."

Zhang Yun was not young, but he still had a frivolous taste, and only smiled:

"Good, good, good."

Zhang Yun glanced at her, suddenly looking a bit suspicious, and whispered:

"Is the 【Wanling Flower】 something that flowed out from your family?"

Li Qinghong didn't expect him to suddenly ask about this matter, but her heart turned, and she immediately understood:

'It is said that the 【Wanling Flower】 has been extinct in the South for hundreds of years, and was suddenly obtained by my family. The movements of the South are all mastered by the Three Sects, so it must have already reached their ears...'

"Yes!"

Li Qinghong responded respectfully. Zhang Yun finally looked serious and said in a deep voice:

"Where did it come from!"

Li Qinghong's mind flashed through it like lightning. Zhang Yun obviously knew what the Wanling Flower represented, so he asked specifically about this spiritual object, but her family knew nothing at all...

'It must have something to do with the Wang clan!'

Her family had already lost a move in information, and their status was not equal. If she played tricks, nine times out of ten it would be counterproductive. Li Qinghong could only be as vague as possible:

"It was left by a Northern Daoist. My family helped him, so he bestowed the spiritual root."

Zhang Yun had looked a bit frivolous when he was smiling before, but now that he was serious, he was very majestic, and said in a deep voice:

"What is his cultivation? What is his surname!"

Li Qinghong showed hesitation and whispered:

"That Senior was very strange, his momentum was magnificent, but he couldn't see his cultivation level. Surname... surname Wang!"

She was clever and had a sense of proportion in her speech. Wang Xun clearly treated her as a peer, but she respectfully called him Senior, fitting her description. The image of a Northern Great Power had already emerged, making Zhang Yun frown.

"Sure enough, surnamed Wang!"

Zhang Yun exhaled deeply and thought secretly:

'Yinghua Wang clan! Jin Dan aristocratic family!'

His heart shook, and he immediately asked suspiciously:

"That is an Immortal family of the North. You are a small aristocratic family, what matter could you help him with?"

Li Qinghong whispered:

"My family's elder once left a sword, named 【Qingchi】, which sealed a sword intent of his, and that Senior just wanted to take a look."

Zhang Yun then understood and said softly:

"So it is. Your Li family only has this thing that is interesting... Where is the sword?"

"It has been taken away by my family's elder brother, who went out to the South."

Zhang Yun had no choice but to give up. He nodded, suddenly laughed, and said softly:

"This is your family's opportunity, but don't think too beautifully... The Yinghua Wang clan most avoids getting involved in worldly karma. Giving your family this spiritual root has already calculated the fate cleanly!"

Li Qinghong raised her brows slightly. Zhang Yun's eyes were clear, and he clearly saw through all the calculations. Even if she didn't pull any tiger skin, she sighed in her heart:

'Jin Yu direct line, truly difficult to deal with.'

Who knew that Zhang Yun in front of her was also very sorry in his heart, thinking secretly:

'It was actually bestowed by the Yinghua Wang clan! What a pity, what a pity. Originally, I thought this 【Wanling Flower】 was extremely useful, so I came to the Li family to take this Foundation Establishment spiritual root away and put it in the sect for my own use... Now it seems, it really cannot be taken.'

After all, it was bestowed by the Yinghua Wang clan, representing the end of karma. But Zhang Yun would have snatched it away in a few years, and it was inevitable that the Wang clan would be somewhat dissatisfied. Although the Foundation Establishment spiritual root was precious, for Zhang Yun, it was not something he had to have, and it was not worth offending the Wang clan.

He looked at Li Qinghong and suddenly asked:

"Is your elder brother also Foundation Establishment?"

Li Qinghong didn't dare to lie to him on this obvious question and only nodded. Zhang Yun smiled and said muffledly:

"Interesting... interesting... Three generations of five Foundation Establishments in one family, there must be something tricky."

He recalled for a while and said:

"And Ning Tiaoxiao personally set the marriage contract, he must have discovered something... hmm... Li family."

Zhang Yun said:

"Li Qinghong... has your elder brother also cultivated 【Haohan Sea】?"

"Exactly."

Li Qinghong answered softly, and Zhang Yun chuckled and nodded:

"Good, very good."

As soon as the words fell, he didn't care about the Li family in front of him, rolled up a golden-glowing brilliance, passed through the Li family's array, and went north by himself.

Li Qinghong lowered her head to respectfully send him off. Until he laughed and went far away, she breathed a sigh of relief, her back sweaty. Looking at Li Xicheng who rushed into the courtyard in a hurry, she said in a deep voice:

"Immediately block the news. You must not let Zhang Yun's visit spread!"

Li Xicheng nodded and replied:

"Aunt, don't worry. The fight just now was too fast, they only knew that someone used a thunder method. I will pass the news down, saying that Aunt was practicing magic techniques."

Hengdong Prefecture.

"Fellow Daoist, sending me here is enough... no need to be so polite."

Li Xijun and the others flew all the way to the edge of Hengzhu Prefecture, arched their hands toward Bi Chengjuan on the side, and said softly:

"Farewell!"

Bi Chengjuan nodded upon hearing this and replied:

Li Xijun left with a smile. Li Xuanxuan on the side, although still looking old and decrepit, was much more spirited, his eyes were clear, and there was a smile on his face.

"This Hengzhu's 【Ningqing Demon-Cleansing Art】 is quite extraordinary! The depression in my heart has been resolved a lot, and I don't feel raw when I exert my true essence."

Li Xijun only smiled:

"This is a great thing. Uncle Grandfather must strictly follow the instructions. You must not take action in these few years. If you fight... I'm afraid it will affect the Immortal Method."

He was afraid that Li Xuanxuan wouldn't listen, so he hurriedly said:

"This, if you fight, the dozens of spirit stones will be wasted."

"I understand... I naturally know..."

Li Xuanxuan hummed two sentences, muttered some trivial words, the atmosphere improved a lot, while Master Kongheng kept chanting scriptures, watching the old and young chatter.

Flying into the Helin Mountain Range, the three landed. This was considered searching for spiritual objects separately. The two searched on the outskirts of the Helin Mountain Range for two months, found one or two spiritual objects, and had no other major gains.

Li Xijun met with Li Xuanxuan at the agreed time. The old man's expression had become more and more relaxed over the past two months, and he felt a sense of freedom. He carried a few plums in his bosom and shared them with him.

Li Xijun took them with a bit of amusement and sighed with regret:

"I didn't expect the spiritual energy of Helin Mountain to be so poor. No wonder there haven't been any good spiritual objects for so many years."

Li Xuanxuan took out a few more plums and handed them to Master Kongheng. Master Kongheng took them with a smile. Only then did Li Xuanxuan say:

"This Helin Mountain Range doesn't even have a few demon beasts, so naturally it can't compare to Great Lishan."

Li Xijun took out the map and looked at it twice, suggesting:

"The time is still early, why not cross the prefecture and go to the Quanwu and Dongli mountain ranges to take a look?"

Li Xuanxuan naturally had no objection. The three set the itinerary, rode the wind immediately, and went east, preparing to follow the road to the northeast, first to the Quanwu Mountain Range to take a look.

"The Quanwu Mountain Range is so vast."

Master Kongheng looked at the mountain range looming in the clouds in the distance and praised:

"When we went south, we crossed the western foot of this mountain. Now that we have circled around and come back, we have only arrived at the eastern foot of this mountain."

Li Xijun listened and immediately caught the opportunity, taking the opportunity to ask:

"How does it compare to Luoxia Mountain?"

Master Kongheng pondered for a while and replied:

"It is very difficult to compare. The North also has majestic mountains, most of which are famous for being high, dangerous, and full of spiritual energy, but they are different from this mountain, which is continuous and stretches for ten thousand miles..."

"If we only compare spiritual energy, naturally Luoxia Mountain is the first, and there is nowhere to compare."

Master Kongheng rarely spoke very positively, saying:

"The place with the most abundant spiritual energy in the world should undoubtedly be Luoxia Mountain. The others can only be the blessed lands of various sects and gates... As for other mountain ranges, they can only rank behind."

"This Luoxia Mountain... what kind of Dao lineage is it exactly?"

Li Xijun asked curiously. Master Kongheng seemed a bit distracted and praised:

"Only when this ray of rosy light fell on the mountain could all kinds of rosy light be born. It is said that there are seventy-two kinds of rosy light in the world, and forty-eight of them are the supernatural powers and creations of this True Lord."

Li Xijun asked:

"Since Luoxia Mountain is the first Dao lineage in the North... I'm afraid there is more than one True Lord?"

Master Kongheng said softly:

"As for how many True Lords there are in Luoxia Mountain? How many are in the sea? How many have left this world... It has always been a matter of opinion, and there is no fixed number."

"Only these three True Lords have appeared and taken action in the last few hundred years. These are solid Jin Dan True Lords!"

Seeing that the old and young of the Li family were listening very seriously, Master Kongheng added:

"However, I have also heard some rumors, saying that the True Lord who achieved the Dao with rosy light... has actually become an immortal."

"Become an immortal?!"

Southern Dao cultivators say "Immortal Child" and "Upper Immortal" in every sentence, and Northern Buddhist cultivators also say "Realized" and "Achieved Dao" in every sentence. But Li Xijun understood that the meaning of becoming an immortal in Master Kongheng's mouth was much more profound, and he whispered:

"Is... is it a Dao Embryo?"

"Not bad."

Master Kongheng nodded, a trace of envy appeared on his face, and he said softly:

"Truly a person with great supernatural powers."

Li Xijun praised, Master Kongheng shook his head lightly and said softly:

"Doesn't your South also have a clear immortal?"

"This..."

Seeing the confusion on the faces of Li Xijun and the other, Master Kongheng wondered:

"I heard that in your South, whenever a Zifu breaks through to Jin Dan, that person will send someone to collect the golden nature. Could it be that this matter is a rumor?!"

"So it was this matter!"

Li Xijun suddenly realized and replied:

"There is indeed such a thing! There is indeed such a thing! So it was sent by an immortal!"

"That's right!"

Master Kongheng hurriedly asked:

"I do not know what cultivation this immortal has? With what Dao did he become an immortal? And where is the Immortal Mansion?"

To this series of questions from the monk, Li Xijun could only shake his head helplessly and answer, saying softly:

"To tell you the truth, my South has always been blocked from news by the Three Sects. It is said that they have collectively destroyed books, blurring a large amount of information about achieving Foundation Establishment and Zifu."

"My family's foundation is shallow, and we have to rely on overseas cultivators to ask about the news of the South itself, let alone any immortal..."

Master Kongheng nodded thoughtfully and apologized.

The group traveled day and night, flew for half a month, and arrived at the other side of the Quanwu Mountain Range. This place was close to Libu Prefecture in the north and Dongli Mountain in the east. It belonged to an area with fewer demon beasts and was much safer.

The group dispersed, searching for water veins and seeking spiritual objects.

Li Xizhi left the sect, rode the wind and flew north very quickly. On the way, he clumsily coaxed Huai'er in his arms to sleep and landed in a small town.

"Let's rest for a while... there is still a long way to Libu Prefecture."

Li Xizhi landed. The night was deep, and the town below was still flashing with firelight. He stopped to take a look, but found that the people in the town were holding fire, surrounding a group.

Thanks to @Si Wuxie for the alliance leader~
