Chapter 476

Li Xizhi went down the mountain, but didn't go to find Yuan Fuyao for the first time. Instead, he took a slight detour, found the high building, and landed outside the main hall in the middle. The main hall had eighteen steps up to the platform in front of the hall, with a stone statue of a horned male beast crouching on each side. The hall had bright yellow glazed tiles, and the rainwater dripped down, falling from the beast's mouth, which had quite a flavor.

Li Chengliao had just finished packing things and came down from the steps. His face was thick and heavy, compared to his father Li Xicheng, he had less honesty and more edges. Seeing the person in front of him driving the light down, feather clothes fluttering, rainbow light flowing, he hurriedly cupped his hands: "Chengliao has met Third Uncle!"

Li Xizhi carried one hand behind his back, lifted him up with the other, and smiled: "No need to be polite, this time I came to see our family's heir."

Li Chengliao's face immediately shone, nodded to lead the way, went to the building on the side, walked down from the jade platform on the top, passed several corridors, and pushed open the courtyard door.

Inside was a small table, and beside the table sat a boy of about four years old, dressed in white-gold short robes, with two stacks of books piled on the table. He was resting his chin with one hand, reading silently.

His nose bridge was slightly high, there was still childishness between his brows, his eyes were lowered, and his side face was still somewhat plump with a child, presenting a healthy reddish color, his legs crossed, sitting quietly.

Li Xizhi stepped forward. There were no attendants in the courtyard, only an old white-haired monkey sweeping the floor in the courtyard, which was at the peak of Qi Refining. He was wearing a Daoist robe, with lowered brows and drooping eyes, seemingly not caring that someone had come over.

"Wei'er... this is your Third Granduncle."

Li Xizhi looked over with a smile, and suddenly bumped into those dark golden eyes. With his Foundation Establishment level of eyesight, everything around him was clearly visible. He could clearly see the gold in those eyes like rings, interlocking layer by layer.

The gold flickered lightly before his eyes, becoming dim as Li Zhouwei looked away. He only saw his brow bone raise, lifting the gold-white robe, and performed the junior's salute.

"I have met Third Granduncle!"

Li Zhouwei stood up and answered, his small hands together, just about to bow down. Li Xizhi was awakened as if from a dream, and quickly supported him with sharp eyes and quick hands, saying in a low voice: "Only now do I know how the elders are so sure... Yes... such a person, as if he had cultivated his life in the womb, is unusual after being born."

Li Xizhi pulled this child up, turned his head to greet Li Chengliao, and ordered: "I heard that there are many taboos for people who cultivate both life and nature in ancient times, which have been passed down to this day and cannot be verified. Perhaps it is a superstitious word, but just in case, the family can refer to it."

He said with a solemn expression:

"After this, no matter who you see, don't let this child bow... try to call his name less, and replace it with a Daoist name... the family calls him heir, which is indeed good."

Li Chengliao listened solemnly and nodded. Li Xizhi still had a look of surprise, sat down with him, thought for a long time, and stared into his eyes.

"The quality is out of the ordinary, and it doesn't look like he has a destiny, but rather like some kind of bright Yang body."

Li Xizhi watched for a while, and a fragrance gradually surged from his nose. After careful identification, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Chengliao, surprised:

"Peony?"

Li Chengliao was completely unaware and looked at him with some confusion. Li Xizhi picked up Li Zhouwei. The child's small hands pressed tightly on his arm, his brows slightly frowned. Li Xizhi looked at him carefully and said in a low voice: "This child has grown up, I'm afraid he is not a kind person, his nature is overbearing."

He thought for a while, shook his head, and said: "But I am shallow in learning, I really can't see clearly, nothing looks like it, it's just like... it's just like..."

He swallowed his words in his stomach and thought in his heart:

'To be honest, the appearance of all these signs is like the incarnation of a golden evil spirit mentioned in the book... but if it were really like this, evil spirits have no constant wisdom, how could they sit here quietly...'

Li Xizhi put him down, asked Li Chengliao for some details, was silent for a while, and opened his mouth:

"No matter what the situation, we must pretend to be the one with the least threat, just say he is of bright Yang bloodline... as for these eyes... I will go to the sect to exchange for a similar pupil technique to cover it up."

He explained:

"The East Fire Cave Heaven fell, and Qingchi obtained many bright Yang cultivation methods, among which many pupil techniques. I have seen them very early, and there are one or two that can be used for cover."

Li Chengliao nodded. Li Xizhi looked at Li Zhouwei before him practicing calligraphy on paper by himself with a smile, and while watching, opened his mouth:

"Is the family's sacrifice ready?"

"Tomorrow it will be."

Li Xizhi calculated that the date was just right, so he didn't delay time, asked for Yuan Fuyao's residence, and drove the wind all the way there.

Along the way, he was still thinking about Li Zhouwei's eyes and that strange aura, secretly thinking:

'After covering the eyes, Qingchi and Xiuyue are at daggers drawn, just at the time when everyone is in danger... The several families on Chijiao Island in the East Sea are restless again... several great Zifu have passed away... there shouldn't be many things.'

He thought and soon arrived in front of the cave dwelling, let people go to report, and saw a handsome young man rushing out to greet him, opening his mouth:

"Junior has met the Daoist! I didn't welcome you from afar, I lost the etiquette!"

Li Xizhi was very likely to be the future peak master of Qingsui Peak, with a high status. The arrival of Yuan Tuan back then was welcomed by the whole Li family. Now the gap in cultivation and status between the two was much greater than that between Yuan Tuan and Li Yuanyuan back then, no wonder he was so terrified.

Li Xizhi waved his hand to enter. Yuan Fuyao bit the bullet and followed this feather-clothed Daoist into the cave dwelling, sat on the side, and saw Li Xizhi ask:

"The Young Master has been in the Yuan family for many years. Now that my master is missing, I searched in the East Sea for a circle and found no news. This time I sought the Young Master, also wanting to ask if the Yuan family has any news, and what the situation is now."

Yuan Fuyao hesitated for a while and answered:

"My family... has five main veins, my father is not among them... each vein now has slight friction, actually... the things left by the ancestor are not enough for the few veins to divide."

"Ancestor Huyuan is the head of the first vein... but now talents are withering, and he is the only Foundation Establishment... as for the news of Ancestor Yuan Tuan, the family only knows that she went to Qunyi, and there is no other news."

Li Xizhi responded with a hmm, glanced at it, didn't say much, and said in a low voice: "What plans does the Young Master have."

Yuan Fuyao's forehead was faintly sweating, and he only answered: "I... I only obey the family's orders, cultivate in your noble family, and wait for my father to return."

Li Xizhi nodded and opened his mouth:

"Good, I will take this as the Young Master's meaning."

He smiled, stood up suddenly, Yuan Fuyao was caught off guard, reacted that his words were a bit wrong, opened his mouth to look at this feather-clothed Daoist, met his slightly sharp corner of the eye as he turned his head, but couldn't speak.

The disappointment in Li Xizhi's eyes flashed away, and he walked out of the cave dwelling slowly, arrived before the steps, as if saying casually:

"The friendship between the two families is deep, the Young Master can stay here as long as he wants."

After he finished saying this, he drove the rainbow away fluttering. His wife Yang Xiaoer was already waiting in the air, looking a bit worried, looking with inquiring eyes. Li Xizhi flew up with her and said playfully:

"The elders in the family are just too observant of the rules. Being a family for many years, they have done too many good things and have burdens... seeing the friendship between the two families, they can't bear to refuse. What about this? Yuan Chengdun just wants my family to protect his descendants, just protect them, and still want to involve my sister?"

He paused, and the fierceness like his father Li Yuanyuan appeared on his originally calm and gentle face, and he said coldly:

"Without courage or strategy, not knowing how to advance or retreat, Yuexiang likes him, let it be. Could it be that she would let my sister suffer for this unfinished favor? What kind of reason is this!"

Yang Xiaoer held him and said in a low voice:

"Fortunately, it's a private agreement between the two, otherwise it wouldn't sound very good if it spread out... Yuexiang has her own thoughts, Yuan Fuyao really doesn't understand her."

"Alright..."

Li Xizhi waved his hand and answered: "My sister handled it well, she had already left enough room for herself, what's good or bad to hear? Do you believe that if the betrothal gift was given to him, this kid would still be happy in private."

The two fell back to the peak, stepped into the main hall, Li Yuexiang came up with a smile, looking at him with eyes that seemed to speak. There was not much time to go and come, and several people were still in the hall. Li Xizhi answered:

"I have already played the villain, Little Sister, you go and take the betrothal gift and hand it to him. You know how to speak, he might even thank you."

Li Yuexiang said softly:

"Troubling Elder Brother."

Although Li Xizhi forcibly managed this matter, his attitude toward Li Xuanxuan was still very low, and he said respectfully:

"Grandson was angry for a moment, and followed his words to say this matter to death, don't know if it delayed the family's affairs..."

"Go go go... what are you saying to tease this old man..."

Li Xuanxuan raised his foot, as if wanting to kick him. Li Xizhi smiled and stood up. Li Xuanxuan looked at the two brothers and sisters cooperating tacitly, sighed on the side, and said in an old voice:

"This is the best."

Li Yuexiang took out several jade boxes from the cabinet in the hall, in which brocade bags were placed. She blinked her phoenix eyes, took them in her hands, drove the wind and rose all the way, and flew toward the cave dwelling at the foot of the mountain.

Yuan Fuyao was sighing in the cave dwelling, not expecting someone to report again, saying that Miss Yuexiang had come.

Yuan Fuyao cheered up, hurriedly took the two servants and rushed out, watching this beauty drive the fire cloud down, and hurriedly opened his mouth:

"Yuexiang is here! I..."

He just wanted to open his mouth to explain, but didn't want Li Yuexiang to smile slightly, made a gesture of silence to him, let him close his mouth, took out several jade boxes from her sleeve, and smiled: "Look what this is!"

Yuan Fuyao took them, opened them one by one, his spiritual sense sank into them, and found jade stones, precious liquids rippling, magic tools and spiritual objects, precious medicines and demon beads, piled up like mountains, flashing and dazzling, and for a time he was fascinated.

Li Yuexiang sighed very lightly in her heart and said softly: "My elder brother said that Fellow Daoist doesn't want to live in my house for a long time... Fellow Daoist has an upright temperament, a gentleman, and has no other intentions."

These words immediately woke Yuan Fuyao up, and he opened his mouth to explain hurriedly, but was blocked by her next words.

"Since this is the case, originally these were the betrothal gifts left by Senior Yuan Chengdun to my family, now they are returned to Fellow Daoist one by one, it is too precious, please keep them carefully."

Once these words came out, they placed Li Yuexiang and these huge-value treasures in opposition, shattering the words he wanted to save, which was unspeakable.

"My family's promise to the senior is still valid, the Li family always has a place for the Young Master, and will do our best to protect the Young Master's safety."

Li Yuexiang handed all the jade boxes over, let go, and said in a low voice: "Fellow Daoist, take care."

She soon drove the wind and left, leaving Yuan Fuyao standing blankly on the spot. Even though he had enough spiritual objects for three generations of cultivation, he didn't seem to have the excitement he expected, but instead had a sense of loss.

"Truly a good girl."

He soon swept this feeling out of his mind, looked at the glowing eyes of the two attendants on the side, and finally had a sense of security in his empty heart, sighing: "Now there is room..."

His full words rolled in his stomach, murmuring: "Now there is no room..."

The sacrifice at the foot of the Li family mountain this year was smaller in scale than in previous years. The water flooded the four borders, so it was really not suitable for big movements. Lu Jiangxian watched in the Great Void, the population in these counties dropped sharply, and evil resentment rose everywhere.

"In the Xun Lin Marsh, it is almost settled."

The Li family couldn't see the situation on the plain, but Lu Jiangxian saw it clearly. The faction in the Yuan family that was close to the Chi family had gradually dominated the situation, and Yuan Huyuan was becoming more and more embarrassed, I'm afraid he couldn't hold on for long.

"It's not just this yin-natured rainwater... but also the wailing of these millions of people, which is also destroying the 【Xuanping Middle Atmosphere】."

He observed quietly, unable to intervene, only reached out in the mirror to summon the talisman energy from the sacrifice, refined it slightly, and threw it back into Li Xizhi on the altar.

Now Lu Jiangxian was no longer what he used to be. With a squint of his eyes, he watched Li Xizhi in feather clothes, and veins appeared on his body, roughly divided into two directions.

One was surrounded by light vermilion runes, the color was between red and pink, slightly sharp, and the sharp edge of the seal characters turned: "【Vermilion Mansion Flowing Rainbow】"

One of its talisman effects could bless offspring, making the offspring born after receiving the talisman more talented and smarter. The second could make magic power more vigorous, the power of the immortal foundation more powerful, and bless flight speed.

The other was surrounded by a light orange-yellow halo, the colors on both sides gradually faded, slowly turning into yellow and white, and the seal characters were very bright:

"【Colors Penetrate the Cloud Thoroughfare】."

This talisman could maintain mental strength, invigorate the spirit, and those who received the talisman could resolve others' magic spells and understand the operation of magic power. Every time they closed their doors to cultivate, they would bless and nourish this talisman, slowly improving their own spell power.

It was even rarer that this talisman had the ability to maintain life. Although it was difficult to compare with 【Avoiding Death and Extending Life】 and could not resolve disasters, it could add a little blessing.

Lu Jiangxian peeked slightly, thought about it, 【Vermilion Mansion Flowing Rainbow】 was only useful for offspring born after receiving the talisman. Li Xizhi was now a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and Yang Xiaoer was also at the Qi Refining stage, I'm afraid it would be difficult to give birth to offspring again, so this effect was probably useless.

And 【Colors Penetrate the Cloud Thoroughfare】 was a rare talisman energy with the effect of blessing time and luck, and it became more powerful as the time of seclusion became longer. Li Xizhi's cultivation method was specially chosen, and he had the protection of the Qingchi status, making him the least likely to have accidents among the Li family, so it was quite suitable for this talisman energy.

Thinking of this, Lu Jiangxian waved his hand, and this talisman energy turned into a bright yellow color, threw it into Li Xizhi's body, and then cast his gaze on Li Zhouwei.

Over the years, the bright Yang golden nature had become more closely connected with him, and many anomalies had appeared. Lu Jiangxian just waited silently:

"When he receives the talisman and has cultivation, he can use the relationship between the talisman seed and the main body to try to let him control these influences freely... so as not to be too ostentatious."
