Chapter 434

Yishan City.

The majestic city stood tall, Dharma light flowing. A middle-aged man wearing black-gold spirit armor stepped on a golden shuttle, his eyes under sharp eyebrows looking into the distance, like a hawk.

His spirit armor was black-gold, the scales shining, integrated with the golden bow behind him, stepping on a diamond-shaped flying shuttle under his feet, emitting sharp Jin Gang.

The polishing of time made him no longer arrogant, his gaze slightly lowered, his eyes narrowed, hiding his sharp spirit inside, accumulating, ready to go.

Li Xuanfeng drove the wind and flew up from the city wall, stopping for a moment. In the distant forest sea, demonic creatures circled, with no intention of coming forward. He landed back on the city, and several people came up below, all fresh faces.

Only a middle-aged man came up, with a dignified appearance, looking very elegant, and said softly:

"Brother Feng, Fairy Qiuhu is waiting under the city."

Most of the people who followed him south in those years married and had children here, and became food for demonic creatures in battle after battle. Only Fei Yihe remained by his side, also over seventy years old, never daring to break through.

Although the Qingchi Sect had never expressed anything, the tragedy of the Fei family in those years was still before his eyes. Fei Yihe naturally did not dare to act rashly. Li Xuanfeng nodded after listening, not surprised.

'If Ning Wan came, it should be that the True Person has left the pass.'

His spirit armor knocked out a crisp sound on the ground. Li Xuanfeng drove the wind down, and sure enough, saw a woman standing in front of a small stall in the market, watching with interest.

Ning Wan's temperament was very unique. Although she used Qingchi spells to cover her cultivation, Li Xuanfeng practiced 【Clear Eye Spirit Pupil】 and had similar cultivation to her, so he found her after a rough sweep, went up, and said softly:

"Xuanfeng has seen the senior."

Ning Wan now had the cultivation of the peak of Foundation Establishment, not far from Zifu, and her strength was very strong. She turned her head and looked at him, saying softly:

"Not bad... when are you preparing to break through in closed-door cultivation?"

Li Xuanfeng had broken through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment for a long time and had been polishing his cultivation. Now hearing her say this, he answered:

"I'm afraid my foundation is unstable, so I'm not in a hurry to break through."

Ning Wan nodded and said with a smile:

"I have seen your archery. Now that I think about it, when the Tangjin Sect members went south in those years, it was you who killed them, right?"

Li Xuanfeng didn't expect her to bring up old things again, but by now, it was already harmless. He apologized, and Ning Wan nodded and said:

"How old were you then, and you understood the intent of the arrow... I was influenced by 【Weng on the Creek】 or Jiang Boqing at that time, mistakenly thinking it was Zifu, but it achieved today's fate. Truly, things in the world are unpredictable."

Li Xuanfeng remembered the things of those years, and there was a loss in his heart, but there was no change on the surface. Ning Wan continued:

"There is news to inform you."

"I would like to hear the details."

Li Xuanfeng immediately cheered up, and Ning Wan shook her head and said:

"On the Chijiao Island overseas, there is a direct female cultivator named Guo Hongyao who drove the wind to your territory and made a big scene... it seems she wanted to take someone as a disciple, but it ended up making both sides unhappy, and they dispersed in a hurry."

"Chijiao Island?"

Hearing that it was news from home, Li Xuanfeng immediately cheered up. Ning Wan took a look and said softly:

"As a result, when this female cultivator returned overseas, she was abruptly seriously injured, almost died on her own territory, relied on talismans to escape, and had a very important Dharma artifact snatched. The murderer was very rampant, and Chijiao Island has already sent people to investigate."

Ning Wan pursed her lips and smiled. Obviously, this news made her feel very good. She suddenly said:

"The ruins of Qing Song Temple are ahead, Chijiao Island will not investigate carefully. That female cultivator was injured in vain, and it will be hard to have any progress in these decades."

Li Xuanfeng was stunned, frowning:

"Daring to snatch a direct descendant of an immortal sect on the territory of an immortal sect, who is so bold..."

Ning Wan smiled without saying a word. The two flew for a while and tacitly landed in front of the element's cave abode. Bypassing the strange-looking copper beast in front of the courtyard, white gas permeated all around, flowing endlessly, and the ankles were cold. True Person Element was lying on the stone platform at the head.

"Seen the True Person!"

True Person Element's face was round, and he had never had any power, and now he looked even more detached. The pale golden seal on his waist swayed. Li Xuanfeng and Ning Wan bowed. Element lifted his hand to let them get up and asked:

"Wan'er, how are things?"

Ning Wan answered respectfully:

"Reporting to the ancestor, several people suspected of having fate have already received news of Qing Song Temple and have gone to the sea one after another... there is no major problem..."

"Hmm."

Element nodded, holding the seal in his hand, and said plainly:

"After all, Luoxia Mountain let the fruit position walk into the world, and it is normal to trigger the condensation of several fates. These people can stand out, regardless of whether they have fate, at least they have some skills, and they can bring some things out when they enter the ruins."

Ning Wan nodded and said softly:

"It's just... there is another big thing... True Person Senior Sui Guan went to Chijiao Island and then to the Jin Yu Sect. Zhang Tianyuan sent him out personally, very respectfully."

True Person Senior Sui Guan was the Zifu cultivator who emerged inexplicably from the Qingchi Cave Abode, which was full of life and full of clear water. When Element heard this, his complexion became ugly, and he said in a low voice:

"What is he going to do again!"

Element had a headache for this person. No matter how bad Chi Buzi's temper was, he was an acquaintance, and his relationship with him was not too bad, and his cultivation was not too high. But this Senior Sui Guan really couldn't grasp the routine.

Element had been hiding in Yishan City, even breaking through in closed-door cultivation, just to avoid this person. Now hearing his news, his complexion was not good. Ning Wan hesitated for a breath and answered:

"I heard from the Chi family... he went to take a copy..."

She stopped here, and Element waved his hand and said softly:

"Just say it."

"Took a copy of 【Xuanming Two Instruments Qi】."

Element straightened up, thought for a breath, and said:

"That's right... it should be Xuanming Qi. Only this thing can make Senior Sui Guan go to Jin Yu Sect personally... He is at the peak of Zifu cultivation... could it be that he wants to break through to Golden Core?"

He made this inference, then frowned and denied:

"No... doesn't look like it."

The two below were silent. Element quickly came back to his senses, stopped talking, looked at Li Xuanfeng, and nodded:

"Not bad, the progress is faster than I thought."

"All thanks to the True Person's guidance."

Li Xuanfeng thanked him twice. In these ten years, Element had really treated him well. All kinds of spirit armor, precious medicine, golden stone Qi, secret methods, and secret arts were prepared by Element for him, almost treating him as a junior.

If it weren't for the fact that these things were bestowed by Element and were somewhat sensitive, Li Xuanfeng would have wanted to send some home. On the contrary, the better Element treated him, the more uneasy he felt.

Element looked at him twice and said softly:

"Alright, your current strength can be considered to have entered the stage. Go to the East Sea and handle two things for me."

Li Xuanfeng was overjoyed and responded repeatedly:

"True Person, please give orders!"

First, he had been trapped here for decades and finally had a chance to go out, so he was naturally overjoyed. Second, Element finally had a request for him. Otherwise, holding these techniques and spirit objects in his hand was really hot, but he couldn't refuse.

He agreed immediately, and Element said:

"First, I have a batch of my own disciples who are going to Fenkuai Island. Recently, the sea area has not been peaceful, and Ning Wan cannot move lightly. You go there."

He reminded:

"Don't provoke things, just send people there safely. If someone really blocks the way, all those who are not dragon-like can be killed."

Watching Li Xuanfeng nod and agree, Element continued:

"After you go to Fenkuai Island, go all the way east to the Zhu Lu Sea. The market of my Ning family there has also been harassed by a demonic creature. You kill it on the way and then return."

"I don't know if it is...?"

Li Xuanfeng asked, and Element said:

"Don't worry, it's just a water ape. Ordinary people can't defeat it, but for you, it's not a big deal."

He hung up the jade seal and said softly:

"I see you haven't returned home for many years. Have a good chat."

"Thank you, True Person!"

Li Xuanfeng thanked him, saw True Person Element wave his hand, and slowly went down. Ning Wan was silent for a moment and said softly:

"True Person... Li Xuanfeng's cultivation has improved rapidly in recent years. It seems that the Li family's resources were scarce and the techniques were simple before, and he didn't practice any spells, and he broke through to Foundation Establishment so late."

"After all, it's Wei Li."

Element responded and said:

"If he practiced bright yang nature, it would be even faster... A thousand years ago, the appearance of the Wei Li direct line connecting with golden nature... that was called the descent of bright yang."

The two were chatting, and Li Xuanfeng had already resigned from the cave abode, flew for a while with the wind, and landed in front of his own cave abode.

Li Xuanfeng's cave abode could be considered excellent in Yishan City. Pushing the door in, his wife Ning Hemian held the child and greeted him, full of smiles, saying softly:

"What did the True Person say?"

Ning Hemian was from the Ning family, and her news was even better than his. Li Xuanfeng was not surprised, picked up the child, and answered:

"Go to the East Sea on a chosen day, send people and kill demons."

The boy in his arms pursed his lips, his eyes gray and black, but his eyebrows were much gentler than his father's, and he hadn't grown up yet, looking a bit weak.

"Qin'er..."

"Dad."

Li Xuanfeng hugged him and asked about the recent situation. Li Yuanqin didn't say much, just responded with hmm, and Ning Hemian closed the stone door of the cave abode, saying with some worry:

"What does the True Person mean, is he going to offend people? Is there any danger?"

"Should not."

Li Xuanfeng showed a thoughtful look, raised his eyebrows and said:

"I have now learned 【Shangmang Huifeng】 and have 【Black Gold Spirit Armor】 to protect my body. My combat power is fierce. If I don't hit the direct Foundation Establishment of the three sects head-on, most of them can't do anything to me."

"If I am allowed to ambush in advance, open the distance, and be ready, even the direct Foundation Establishment of the three sects in the late stage will have to spit out a few mouthfuls of blood before giving up in front of my arrows. Ordinary Foundation Establishment... is no different from the demonic creatures torn to pieces in dozens of moves before the pass."

Li Xuanfeng's tone was plain, but the bloodiness revealed was heavy. He said softly:

"Only the Southern Border knows the reputation of my 【Jin Gang String】. Going overseas this time, I can also see what kind of characters those cultivators are."

Ning Hemian pulled her hair back, and while tidying up the spirit medicine in the cave abode for him, she responded casually:

"Yes, yes, yes, I know you are amazing!"

Li Xuanfeng was much older than her, sometimes seeing her like a child, laughed, and pondered:

'When to take Qin'er home... I don't know how Yuanjiao and Qinghong... are doing now.'

He had inquired about a lot of news about the Li family through the Ning family's relationship, but after all, he only got some superficial news. Thinking that he could go home and take a look, his heart was already secretly heating up.

Qingdu Mountain.

The process of burning incense and praying was not complicated. In fact, sitting cross-legged in front of the incense to practice was also fine. Li Qinghong bathed carefully, changed the imperial armor on her body into a Daoist robe, tied up her hair, practiced in front of the incense for several months, and drove the lightning close to Yuting Mountain.

This immortal mountain was now full of green pines. On the snow-covered mountain top stood an altar of more than ten feet, carved with various rain, fog, and lightning patterns, with bluestone as the main body, and crafted with various copper and iron.

At the very head, there was a circle of various copper and silver statues, twelve in total, either catching lightning and spreading clouds, or holding halberds and glaring. Eight were in the image of people, and the other four were of dragon and snake attributes.

Li Qinghong stood on this Dharma altar, and felt the magic power in her body active, eager to try in the lightning pool, and that mysterious lightning talisman rose and fell, very excited.

She sat cross-legged in the middle, hands facing up, placed on her knees, and purple electricity appeared on her body, flowing along the patterns on the ground.

'At this moment, the twelve statues should be lit up together, the sky should be covered with dark clouds, and lightning should appear... only then can it be considered the beginning.'

Li Qinghong urged the immortal foundation and waited for a full half-quarter of an hour. It was just purple lightning flowing, without any strange phenomena, and there was no sign of the so-called human-heaven remote sensing. On the contrary, the magic power in her body was consumed a lot.

"Is it really useless?"

Li Qinghong waited for a while, and in the sky, let alone lightning, there was not even a sign of a dark cloud. She had to sigh in a low voice, gave up this secret technique, and turned to communicate with the statues one by one with lightning.

This was another use of this Dharma altar, which could calculate when the lightning in heaven and earth would fall in a certain place, how many tribulation lightning had fallen recently, and who had done evil, and was about to suffer lightning.

"Most of it is useless. Where is there any tribulation lightning now... I haven't even heard of it... This spell is really ancient enough."

She tried them one by one, and still returned without success. Li Qinghong tried twice more unwillingly, until the last dragon-shaped statue finally had some reaction.

"Crack..."

The two eyes of this dragon-shaped copper statue flashed slightly for a while, and Li Qinghong suddenly had an understanding in her heart:

This copper statue showed lightning, then extinguished, and there was no reaction.

"Ah?"

Li Qinghong blinked and sighed in her heart:

"It really is an ancient method! But... but what is the use of this..."

If she could really know the orientation, it would be fine. Li Qinghong could drive the lightning over and use spells to catch this falling lightning. Listening to this name, it should be some kind of heaven and earth spirit lightning, which was extremely rare in the current world.

First, since the near-ancient times, the lightning between heaven and earth had become less and less, and lightning cultivators had become rarer. Second, lightning was not like fire spirit water, falling as soon as it appeared. Unless it was a coincidence, or accidentally encountered in the clouds, it was difficult to take.

But the news obtained from this spell was actually an ancient place name. Even if she knew there was such a place, she had no way to find it... Li Qinghong could only sigh:

"What's more, this place is mostly in the North, and the Angry Path is still very hostile to us, and it is accompanied by fate entanglements, so we must not go."

Li Qinghong calculated the time, and the next prayer for lightning should be three months later. She calculated in her heart:

"This Dharma altar has been crafted, and casting spells for a while consumes nothing more than some magic power. Try it every three months. If you happen to encounter a county town in the Yue Kingdom, and there are some familiar names, you can also get some lightning back."
