Chapter 416: Secret of Magic Spells

Li Li Xizhi dealt with the big and small people in the market, and took time to go to the courtyard. Grandfather Li Li Xuansuan was holding a talisman brush, dipping in some spiritual ink, carefully outlining.

The old man had drawn talismans for over seventy years, and could draw them without error even with his eyes closed. His gray-white eyebrows raised, looking at Li Li Xizhi, his hands outlining steadily, laughing:

"Zhier is here."

Li Li Xizhi responded respectfully, and Li Li Xuansuan moved his hand, and a talisman appeared, which was the 【Guiyuan Shield】 of the late Qi Refining stage, white and crystal clear. Li Li Xuansuan looked at his curious appearance and laughed:

"It's just road goods, can't compare to the talismans in your sect."

Li Li Xizhi looked twice and said softly:

"It is indeed much worse. Grandfather's talisman technique has already reached a very high level, but there is no top-grade inheritance, and it is wasted on these talismans."

"The talisman technique has a low threshold. There are many loose cultivators and clan cultivators like me in the Yue State."

Li Li Xuansuan waved his hand with a smile, took out 【Dinglin Peak】 from his storage bag, handed this golden, glowing magic weapon to him, and instructed:

"This 【Dinglin Peak】 has Senior Situ Mo's name on it, and the Tongjin Sect's mark. We don't dare to use it, hoping to find a family in the market to re-smelt and modify it for us, repair it, so it can be used."

He twisted his beard and said in a hoarse voice:

"I went out for a trip while I was free. Who knew that the few refiners in the market who could repair and modify were afraid of offending the Tongjin Sect, and actually drove me out! The only one willing to take it offered a sky-high price! Look at this... alas!"

Li Li Xizhi understood, took the magic weapon, and laughed:

"Leave it to grandson. Although I can't act recklessly or scrape oil and water in this market, I can open a convenience door by using my power. This matter is hard for the family to handle, but it is very simple for me."

Li Li Xuansuan nodded repeatedly, sighing:

"A few years ago, I calculated with your uncle, if you could stay at home, you would be the most suitable to manage the family... Pity you went to the sect, and only you were suitable to go at that time. If it were a few years later..."

Li Li Xizhi shook his head, and Li Li Xuansuan turned the topic:

"But in the end, you are also the best candidate to enter the sect. Li Ximing is a heartless one. If his temperament entered the sect, I'm afraid it would be terrible! Li Xijun is too sharp, Li Xicheng is too serious. The only one who can handle it and endure is you......"

"I heard you married a Yang family member, is she considerate? Bring her back when you have time for Ah Weng to see......"

Li Li Xuansuan was old, muttering when he spoke. Li Li Xizhi listened with a smile, and only then said softly:

"Grandfather, wait a moment, I will go call someone to re-cast the magic weapon."

Li Li Xuansuan waved his hand to let him go. The backyard creaked twice, and Li Li Xijun stepped in, his complexion looking much better, with some doubt:

"Uncle-Grandfather... we still need to find time to return home early. We are naturally safe in this market, but I fear that Senior Situ Mo will harm us if he fails to harm us here, and go to Mount Qingdu Mountain. Aunt is alone, I'm afraid she is not his opponent."

"Indeed."

Li Li Xuansuan felt it made sense, the talisman brush in his hand stopped, and he replied:

"Wait for Jiao'er to come out of seclusion, we can all return home together. Let Li Xizhi send the magic weapon later."

Li Li Xizhi went out of the courtyard, and the two old men greeted him very diligently. He asked softly:

"Does the Tongjin Sect have any industry in the market?"

An old man stepped forward and laughed:

"There is a Jianmen cultivator here... good at making magic weapons, but... he is also a disciple of the Immortal Sect, and has long been closed-door and not seen. His temperament is not very kind, and we dare not invite him, I'm afraid you have to visit him personally..."

"【Wanyu Jianmen】... No matter, take me there."

Li Li Xizhi nodded suddenly, followed the two forward, rode the rainbow and rose, the two followed behind, looking at the rainbow light under his feet with envy and fear, one transmitted sound with magic power:

"This master is truly lucky, born in the Mount Qingdu direct line, and became a Mount Qingchi disciple. His master is a Foundation Establishment of the Mushroom Forest Yuan family, and his father is the Li family ancestor, three generations of Foundation Establishment... truly born above you and me..."

The other old man nodded secretly, replying with magic power:

"Who says it isn't... I'm afraid this master's background in the sect is also among the best... not touching the oil and water of the market... perhaps it's because he doesn't look down on it at all!"

Li Li Xizhi couldn't hear the conversation between the two, stepped into the courtyard, and saw a young man sitting across the ground, holding a drawing and looking at it, squinting his eyes and glancing at him.

"Wanyu Jianmen, Cheng Cheng Jinzhu, I don't know which peak of Mount Qingchi you come from?"

The relationship between Wanyu Jianmen and the Mount Qingchi Sect was not good, but this person sitting across and squinting was also rude. Seeing him so arrogant, Li Li Xizhi secretly felt that this matter was difficult to handle, and said softly:

"Qingsui Peak, Li Li Xizhi."

"What Qingsui Peak? Never heard of it...!"

Cheng Cheng Jinzhu replied lightly, suddenly frowned, sat upright, and wondered:

"This Li family of yours, not the 【Fuchen Peak】 Li family? Qingsui... is it the Qingsui of the Sword Immortal?"

"It is Wangyue Lake, Mount Qingdu Li family."

As soon as Li Li Xizhi's words fell, this Cheng Cheng Jinzhu jumped up immediately, his face changed greatly, and his smile became enthusiastic, ashamed:

"Disrespect, disrespect... I saw that fellow Daoist's appearance was so young, and thought it was that direct line of the Demon Sect... So it is a descendant of the Sword Immortal family! Truly sorry!"

Cheng Cheng Jinzhu could generously call the Mount Qingchi Sect the Demon Sect, but Li Li Xizhi dared not admit it. After being relieved, he could only lower his head and pretend he hadn't heard it, humbly:

"The shade of the predecessor, not worth mentioning."

Cheng Cheng Jinzhu's attitude had changed completely, pulled him and said heartily:

"What not worth mentioning! Back then when the Moon Palace sword intent appeared, the 【Wanyu Sword Book】 in my sect was also moved, writing that the sword name was 【Mount Qingchi】, and the sword intent was 【Moon Palace】, ethereal and changing, it looked like a righteous path!"

"We don't like to use the Demon Sect's immortal peaks to call it, but whenever we talk about the Sword Immortal, we use the sword name to play."

His face showed sorrow:

"It's just a pity that something happened in the southern frontier! Truly a pity."

Cheng Cheng Jinzhu pulled Li Li Xizhi's hand and said softly:

"You were born in Mount Qingchi, otherwise my Jianmen should have been the closest to your family. These years my sect has been fighting everywhere, the state is truly not good, barely self-preservation, otherwise I would definitely have to take your family's disciples into the sect to practice..."

He said softly:

"The matter of Wrathful Moha, although my sect's elders never participate in the filth of Buddhist cultivators, they also broke the precedent to secretly contribute to saving people in the Taixu, and had some unexpected effects, but unfortunately it didn't succeed in the end..."

Cheng Cheng Jinzhu seemed to have a belly full of anger, pouring out bitterness. Li Li Xizhi listened carefully, feeling a bit of emotion. Cheng Cheng Jinzhu realized it after the fact and laughed:

"Come, come, come, fellow Daoist has a family heritage, quickly compare a sword with me!"

Li Li Xizhi understood that he was afraid that he was pretending to be a Li family member to earn him, so he pressed his right hand on the hilt to accumulate power, and said very frankly:

"Good, I will only strike one sword."

'After all, I only know this one sword of the "Moon Palace Sword Canon"......'

Li Li Xizhi muttered in his heart. Cheng Cheng Jinzhu became serious immediately, drew his sword, the sword Qi was bright, flowing endlessly, waiting in full battle array.

Wanyu's sword technique had been passed down for a long time. Cheng Cheng Jinzhu ran the sword, observed Li Li Xizhi's movements, and saw his waist sword jump up, hooking a huge sword arc, coming toward his face.

"Clang..."

The sword in his hand retracted and shook, and the sword arc in front of him disappeared. Cheng Cheng Jinzhu retreated several steps, thoughtful. Li Li Xizhi felt empty in his heart:

"What a fast sword. Although he is at the late stage of Qi Refining, being able to resolve my family's sword technique so easily shows his strength."

Cheng Cheng Jinzhu touched his chin and said softly:

"This sword technique of your family takes a strange path, which is very interesting."

His heart was itchy, wanting Li Li Xizhi to strike a few more swords, but Li Li Xizhi didn't want to drag it out, only asking:

"I obtained a magic weapon from the Tongjin Sect, and I ask fellow Daoist to re-cast it for me, so that my family can use it."

"Tongjin Sect, huh."

Cheng Cheng Jinzhu responded, and said very naturally:

"Naturally no problem, but is it a Foundation Establishment magic weapon?"

Li Li Xizhi handed over 【Dinglin Peak】. Cheng Cheng Jinzhu took it and looked, praising:

"Original, good treasure."

He looked like an experienced hand, only asking:

"Want to forge a sword? What kind of true essence to drive it?"

Li Li Xizhi said:

"Song wind, frost, and snow type."

Cheng Cheng Jinzhu estimated it, nodded and replied:

"If you have any cold jade or cold stone there, just bring it, I will re-cast it for you, about... about two or three years! This golden material is very good, making it into its current appearance is a waste of talent, changing it into a sword is also an easy Foundation Establishment level."

Li Li Xizhi thanked him happily, and hurriedly asked:

"I wonder how many spirit stones?"

Cheng Cheng Jinzhu stroked the 【Dinglin Peak】 in his hand, very casually:

"Look and give, I won't take advantage of you

Li Li Xizhi did not care about this; he just nodded in agreement. The two chatted for a moment, then bid farewell and left.

When he turned back and landed in the courtyard, the family was already preparing to leave. Li Li Xizhi had only seen his family for half a month and suddenly felt reluctant to part. He hurriedly stepped forward and said to Li Li Yuanjiao:

"Father, have your wounds healed? Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Li Li Yuanjiao said softly:

He smoothed his black robe and said in a deep voice:

"There are indeed a few things I need to ask you."

Li Li Xizhi responded, but never expected Li Li Yuanjiao to say:

"Have a duel with your younger brother."

"Ah?"

Li Li Xizhi looked at Li Li Xijun, who was holding his sword in front of him, and was slightly stunned. He immediately understood, and Li Li Yuanjiao indeed said:

"Let us both see how much difference there really is between our family's direct line and the disciples of the Mount Qingchi Sect!"

Li Li Xizhi landed somewhat awkwardly. Li Li Xijun in front of him was dressed in white and had been stuck at the sixth level of Qi Refining for a long time, while Li Li Xizhi had just broken through and was wearing brocade robes.

He pondered for two breaths, put away the feather robe on his body, and then nodded to his younger brother.

"Brother, please forgive me!"

Li Li Xijun stepped into the void, channeled the "River-Crossing Turbulent Step," strode forward, pressed his hand on the sword hilt, his expression solemn, white Qi moving in his eyes, and flew toward Li Li Xizhi's side.

Li Li Xizhi held his sword sheath and stood in mid-air, colorful light swirling beneath his feet, calm and unruffled. With one turn of his body, he was already several yards away. Li Li Xijun was instantly stifled and thought to himself:

'This movement technique is far too brilliant; I cannot think about closing the distance...'

He immediately made a decisive choice, drew his sword, and brought out a vast white sword arc. Li Li Xizhi did not bully him and likewise drew his sword, meeting him with the Moon-Que sword arc.

Li Li Xijun's sword was ordinary, while Li Li Xizhi's was swirling with magic light, dazzling and eye-catching; one look showed it was no ordinary object. The two collided, emitting a booming sound.

"Boom..."

The two clashed in the air, dust and smoke rising. Li Li Xizhi brushed away a wisp of sword Qi that flew over with his sleeve, finally showing a trace of surprise, and nodded:

"Good!"

Li Li Xizhi was older than him, had practiced swordsmanship longer, and his innate talent for the sword was better, but he had practiced many magic techniques in the sect, so the time spent on swordsmanship was naturally far less than Li Li Xijun's. Although he had the advantage of a magic treasure, he was still a notch inferior.

Li Li Xijun gained the upper hand in one move and wanted to press in close to strike with sword Qi, but Li Li Xizhi shook his head and smiled, pinching a seal in his hand, from which a stream of colorful light flowed.

【Floating Light Picking Objects】

This colorful light was misty and undulating, moving as fast as lightning. Li Li Xijun only felt his hand go empty; the sword in his hand was already in Li Li Xizhi's grasp.

"What kind of magic is this!"

Li Li Yuanjiao, who had been watching quietly from the side, saw Li Li Xizhi "swish" the precious sword out of Li Li Xijun's hand and immediately changed color, his heart filled with shock.

'So there really is a technique to restrain weapon arts!'

Rogue cultivators and clan cultivators did not understand magic techniques; the only things they could use to contend with immortal sects were swords, spears, knives... these types of skills, which had low thresholds and high ceilings. Li Li Yuanjiao had always suspected that the Mount Qingchi Sect had targeted techniques, and his heart skipped a beat:

"If this is the case, how can there be any chance of winning? A single magic technique and even the sword is snatched away!"

Li Li Xijun was also caught off guard, but fortunately, he reacted quickly. He immediately joined two fingers together and released the 【Slaughtering Jun Tujun Kuiguang】, white light gushing out to strike at Li Li Xizhi.

"Good magic."

Li Li Xizhi praised, backhanded and pinched a seal as well, his middle and ring fingers curling into his palm, the others standing on each side to form a tripod shape, saying word by word:

"Enter, my, heart, tripod."

As soon as his voice fell, the Tujun Kuiguang constricted into a white line, moved nimbly in a circle, and fell into his palm. Li Li Xizhi gave a light turn and struck it to the side; white Qi swirled, freezing the bluestone floor to pieces.

Seeing the situation reach this point, Li Li Xijun could only sigh helplessly. Li Li Yuanjiao and Li Li Xuanxuan looked at each other, both filled with shock:

'Zhier is not yet a Mount Qingchi direct descendant, it is just that the "Morning Glow Gathering Dew Technique" is a complete and comprehensive one that the Mount Qingchi Sect can name... and it is already this formidable! If it were replaced by a Chi family member...'

Li Li Xizhi bowed to his younger brother, looked at the silent appearance of the two elders, and said silently:

"Zhier is not weak within the sect..."

Li Li Yuanjiao sighed and asked:

"How many magic techniques can an ordinary Mount Qingchi disciple practice?"

Li Li Xizhi said respectfully:

"Three or four. If there are any more, I'm afraid it will delay Foundation Establishment."

Li Li Xizhi looked at his father, hesitated for a moment, and answered:

"Disciples in the sect often reach Foundation Establishment at fifty or sixty. It is not limited by talent, but delayed by auxiliary magic techniques and waiting for the right moment to break through. Some magic techniques, if not practiced during Qi Refining, make Foundation Establishment even more difficult."

"Why is that?"

Li Li Yuanjiao frowned slightly, and his eldest son replied:

"Once a cultivator casts their immortal foundation, they will gain many natural wonders. If the magic techniques they want to learn cannot harmonize with it, it will be very difficult to make progress..."

"Conversely, if one learns magic techniques early before Foundation Establishment, after Foundation Establishment, these magic techniques will be influenced by the immortal foundation, and perhaps many more wondrous changes will emerge!"

"Therefore, disciples in the sect push as much as they can. Often, as some people grow older, it ends up causing many tragedies."
