Chapter 518: Surplus Wealth
Li Li Qinghong's pupils dilated slightly, the purple intent in her bright eyes dissipated a lot, and the 【Du Ruo】 in her hand had already been put away. She exhaled lightly, joined her slender hands, and said softly:
"Li Qinghong greets Senior." Li Li Qinghong remembered the scene of that day vividly. Chi Chi Buzi's soul seemed to have a problem, and she didn't know if he still remembered the events of that day, so she left it at that, only calling him Senior.
If Chi Chi Buzi had already lost his memory, then it should be that the two had never met. If he was some kind of water mansion immortal official, her words would not be wrong either.
The Chi Chi Buzi in front of her had disheveled hair and did not speak. He sat on a stone stool to the side, staring at her with light green pupils.
He had achieved the Early Zifu many years ago, and the way of the clear water was clear and turbid, so his appearance was naturally good, and his temperament was clear and refined, but his eyes were somewhat evil and strange. His two lips parted slightly, and he said in a low voice:
"Li Li Qinghong, you recognize me."
Although he was smiling, this sentence was very cold, like the ice and snow of the deep winter, falling on Li Li Qinghong. Li Li Qinghong lowered her eyebrows and parted her lips, replying:
"Senior is joking... Li Qinghong has cultivated for decades and has never seen a Early Zifu. Where would I have the good fortune to see the True Person's carriage..."
Chi Chi Buzi was clearly sitting in the secondary seat, and he did not use any supernatural powers, but the momentum on his body was too strong, suppressing Li Li Qinghong, who was waiting to the side, until her chest felt heavy.
"Dong dong dong..."
The clear spring in the cave became loud, and the clear spring water slowly turned into a gray and turbid color. Chi Chi Buzi raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Li Li Qinghong, I see clearly, you are afraid of me. Or rather, you are so guilty that you are afraid. You might have the means to resist supernatural powers, but I see clearly."
Chi Chi Buzi looked at her quietly: "That time, I most likely used the soul-searching technique and connected with that person's golden nature, which is why I ended up in this state. This time, however, I will not be careless."
The golden belt at his waist shone with magic light. Chi Chi Buzi stood up, took two steps on the platform, and said in a low voice:
"I guessed it was your family, so I didn't dare to return to Wangyue Lake, but after checking here and there, there was still Zongquan Island overseas, so I waited here."
Chi Chi Buzi put his hands behind his back, with his back to the light source in the cave. His clean white hands had two shallow lines. He said softly:
"Now that the Clear Water has gone beyond the heavens and has no energy to pay attention to this place, I have come, Li Li Qinghong."
He slowly turned around, and turbid Qi terrifyingly emerged from his light green pupils, gathering into a piece of dust, following the corners of his eyes upward: "Which one is the Lord? Immortal Yingze? Shexian? Or that one from the Water Mansion?"
Li Li Qinghong did not answer him, only feeling that the suffocation in the mansion became more intense. She pondered Chi Chi Buzi's words word by word and immediately had a deduction:
"'I guessed it was your family', 'You are afraid of me'. Chi Chi Buzi's memory is absolutely flawed. Otherwise, there is no need to guess at all. As long as he remembers the events of that day, he wouldn't have to guess!"
"He most likely forgot the events on the lake. Whether he forgot or not, at least he doesn't dare to remember!"
Chi Chi Buzi seemed not to care at all, but those light green pupils seemed to be observing her expression again. He said: "Li Li Qinghong, that person left means in my soul, you should know."
He smiled lightly, revealing sharp white teeth, hooked his fingers, and said quietly: "I didn't dare to think about it at all. I took that stupid immortal official and circled the East Sea, pointing them out to him one by one, and tore his set of things to pieces. He was then shaken in mind and lost his reliance."
"When the mind is shaken, one will make wrong decisions. It wasn't until I ate that stupid immortal official and swallowed all his cultivation that I dared to think: the Lord underestimated me. Chi Wei is the same, Yuan Xiu is the same, and Clear Water is the same."
His tone was steady: "Chi Buzi is not a stupid thing that is easy to suppress. Some means that make Early Zifu cultivators submissive cannot control me."
"The immortal official has already been eaten by me. It was truly a great supplement, allowing me to practice the fourth supernatural power, called 'Chou Gui Cang', hiding all methods in the body, and can do many things."
He walked all the way to the head seat, then sat down slowly, facing the light of the cave, and said softly:
"The Lord does not dare to kill me, which means that he has not yet reached the Golden Core. The Lord wants to return to his fruit position, and Clear Water must be eliminated."
Chi Chi Buzi smiled slightly and said softly: "Whether Clear Water's fruit position is handled or not, Chi Buzi does not covet it. I only seek a Golden Core. Whether it is the Yu position or the Run position, I only seek a Golden Core."
"The Lord will need it..."
His expression was sincere, and he said warmly: "The Lord wants to return to his fruit position or even immortal position in this world, and needs a capable assistant. The Lord should trust me. In such a filthy world, whether you want the righteous path or the evil path, people like Chi Buzi are sharp swords. The subordinates of the immortal official will only make things worse."
Chi Chi Buzi did not wait for Li Li Qinghong's answer at all and said softly:
"Whether Clear Water will return seriously injured, and whether Behind Shangyuan will be destroyed and flee back to the fruit position, this little Early Zifu cultivator cannot see clearly, but the Lord has his own grasp. If there are instructions, the Lord can move the little one with the number of fates, and Chi Buzi can see it."
He was either making a promise or conducting some kind of test, and said in a low voice: "It's just that if the little one dies, Clear Water will definitely notice, and I'm afraid it will ruin the Lord's affairs."
Li Li Qinghong understood that the other party was not speaking to her, so she stood silently. Chi Chi Buzi got up from the head seat, stepped down the stairs, walked all the way to Li Li Qinghong, and smiled: "Chi Buzi takes his leave."
His figure was like turbid wind, disappearing in an instant, escaping into the Great Void from the stone cracks.
Li Li Qinghong stood in the courtyard, not knowing whether the "Lord" in Chi Chi Buzi's mouth was watching. She stood silently for two breaths, sat cross-legged, and silently digested Chi Chi Buzi's words.
Qunyi Strait.
Chi Chi Buzi shuttled through the Great Void, went deep into the sea, traveled a full ten thousand miles, and then stopped on a deserted small island.
His hands hidden in his sleeves were still trembling uncontrollably, his breathing was rapid, and his original calm posture had long been thrown ten thousand miles away. He still felt his eyes go black.
"Damn it... that was a True Monarch or even an immortal..."
Chi Chi Buzi panted, calming his mood. He had not yet exploded into a pool of green water, which meant that his words had at least received a certain degree of recognition from this True Monarch.
"Dealing with a tiger for its skin... that was also the only way..."
Chi Chi Buzi's expression gradually turned gloomy: "Clear Water couldn't possibly not know that this path now requires the proof of clarity and turbidity to succeed, yet he deceived Chi Rui and Chi Wei until they were completely confused! He passed down some Five Elements Seeking Gold Method! It was clearly because he didn't want the two of them to succeed in breaking through!"
"That's right, Mu Hai has said many times that he has tried his best to suppress the dragon nature on the fruit position. How could he tolerate others achieving the Yu position or Run position? He is afraid of the guest usurping the host!"
Chi Chi Buzi's gaze was hidden in deep haze, like a poisonous snake, secretly saying:
"If you want to break through to the Golden Core, you will sooner or later die under Clear Water! Filling his Qingkui Pool... If you don't break through to the Golden Core in this life, what's the point? It would be better to die!"
He was not afraid of wearing shoes because he was barefoot, and he was not afraid at all of being beaten to death by the True Monarch behind the Li family, or being discovered by Clear Water. If he couldn't break through to the Golden Core, he would die sooner or later.
"If I die, I die. Just go and try!"
Chi Chi Buzi's thoughts flowed, secretly pondering:
"It's just that that person is also most likely of the water virtue, playing both sides. I'll find out clearly. If that person has a problem, with Clear Water's support, after the matter is done, there will be a chance to ascend to the Golden Core..."
Mount Mount Qingdu.
Li Li Xijun drove the wind back from the lake and landed on the mountain. He had seen the visions in the north and east. Not only his Li family, but the entire Jiangnan was in panic, and everyone was in danger.
Li Li Ximing had already gone into seclusion to cultivate, but Li Li Xijun had to pay attention to this trend. The manpower the family had in Milin County was gradually being replenished, and several families had been transferred over, preparing to set up several mansion peaks.
After all, Milin County was quite vast, even broader than the original Li family territory, so distributing several peaks was more than enough.
Just as he entered the hall, he saw a young man standing in the hall, elegant and noble, dressed in white, with outstanding temperament. Li Li Xijun's eyes lit up, and he smiled:
"Brother Zhi!"
The visitor was naturally Li Li Xizhi. He had stayed on Mount Hua for a night, but ultimately could not rest assured. He drove the wind all the way, let Yang Yang Xiaoer stay on the safe Mount Hua, and returned alone.
He nodded toward his younger brother and said softly:
"It is True Monarch Behind Shangyuan who has broken through in the North Sea. You all should have heard."
Seeing Li Li Xijun nod, he roughly explained the situation of the four seas, and then saw Li Li Chengliao driving the wind up. Seeing Li Li Xizhi, his eyes lit up, he bowed, and said: "The branches of the clan in Milin have all been settled. They are currently surveying the earth veins, separating several mountains, and preparing to set up other mansion peaks."
Li Li Xijun responded in a low voice. Outside, a light rain began to fall. Li Li Chengliao seemed somewhat restless, glancing lightly at the rain.
Li Li Xijun also felt a slight chill in his heart. Visions had been frequent recently, and he didn't know if it would affect Li Li Xicheng, who was in seclusion and breaking through. Unexpectedly, Li Li Xijun was only slightly stunned before seeing someone come up from below.
This woman was bright and generous. It was Li Li Minggong of the Chengming generation. Her cultivation was not high, and she was only at the early stage of Qi Refining until now. She had a sorrowful look on her face and bowed: "Reporting to Eighth Uncle... Eldest Uncle's life jade... is shattered."
Li Li Xijun was stunned on the spot. Only then did he know where this rain came from. Li Li Chengliao, who was on the side, heard the bad news of his father, and his eyes turned red, standing dazed on the spot.
Li Li Xicheng was Li Li Xijun's own elder brother. Their father died early, and Li Li Xijun had deep feelings for him. Although he had a premonition, he was still stunned on the spot. Li Li Xizhi did not know that his eldest brother was in seclusion and breaking through, so he was even more sorrowful and said in a low voice:
"What happened!"
Several people quickly drove the wind and landed in the underground water mansion of Mount Mount Qingdu like lightning. Only then did they discover that the cave was slightly damp. They flew to the stone door of the seclusion, and saw water droplets on the stone wall.
Seeing this, Li Li Xizhi immediately understood and waited with lowered eyebrows. Li Li Xijun hesitated for a moment, but ultimately let Li Li Chengliao open the door, while instructing Li Li Minggong:
"Eldest brother has many descendants. Go and invite them over."
Li Li Minggong nodded. She was wearing a precious sword at her waist and her demeanor was elegant. She replied: "I have already sent people to invite them, and they will arrive immediately, along with several clan elders from the Clan Justice Court who are also on the way."
Years ago, Li Li Ximing threw away his responsibilities and stopped working, so Li Li Xicheng received instructions, took over the position of Young Master, and later became the head of the family. The position of family head then fell to Li Li Chengliao. His death was also a major event, and the clan elders had to appear.
Out of emotion and etiquette, Li Li Chengliao had to go inside to tidy up the spiritual remains, and this matter naturally had to be handled by Li Li Xijun. He quickly stabilized his emotions, looked at the several young men and women who entered the water mansion one after another, all very cautious.
They were Li Li Chengliao's younger brothers and sisters. Either their talent was not high, or they were mortal bodies. The Li family's system in this regard was very cruel. These children had never been to Mount Mount Qingdu, and because their identities were watched, they all remained silent.
Li Li Xijun carefully asked for their names and saw that their clothes were even somewhat shabby. Before he could ask, the clan elders led by Li Li Xuanxuan had all arrived. Most of them were white-haired old men, and Li Li Xuanxuan's beard was trembling, very regretful.
Several people from the Clan Justice Court followed the current Clan Justice Li Li Zhouwei and stood to the side. The Crown Prince stood with lowered eyebrows, holding a jade slip in his hand, his fingertips somewhat white.
Seeing everyone's every move clearly, Li Li Xijun then said softly: "According to the old rules, the things in Eldest Brother's storage bag and cave should be handed over to Li Chengliao, and the remaining spiritual products and treasures should be distributed to the children. We are all here to witness, and we can begin the reading."
He said this and waited for Li Li Zhouwei to distribute them. Unexpectedly, the young man bowed slightly and replied:
"Grandfather's mansion, two cushions, and one incense burner, converted into three spirit stones, which is not enough for distribution, so it was converted into three hundred catties of spirit rice, fifty catties per person."
As soon as these words came out, Li Li Xuanxuan was stunned first. The clan elders looked at each other, their expressions different. Li Li Xizhi only looked at Li Li Xuanxuan, and both understood each other's thoughts: "Li Chengliao and Li Zhouwei are not the type to covet these properties... why is their appetite so ugly..."
After a moment of silence, one person stood out. It was Li Li Xicheng's second son, who had already started a family, grew a beard, and said respectfully:
"Reporting to the elders, Grandfather had no legacy in his mortal body. Father was cold and bitter since childhood and did not like luxury. Everything he obtained during his lifetime was donated to the cold-door cultivators within and outside the clan. He lived on Mount Mount Qingdu for cultivation, and there was not a single spiritual object in the mansion."
These words made everyone silent. Li Li Xijun nodded lightly, and Li Li Zhouwei on the side said:
"Reporting to the elders, Grandfather managed the family for seventeen years, and there is no surplus wealth in the family."
Li Li Xizhi listened silently, suddenly remembering the Foundation Establishment jade pendant that Eldest Brother Li Li Xicheng bought for him with his savings the year he left home at twelve.
That year, Li Li Xicheng insisted on stuffing it into his hand. Li Li Xizhi's mother's family was the Xiao family, and his father was the family head at the time, used to luxury. Holding it in his hand felt like charcoal.
This jade pendant was not even as good as the standard jade pendant of a Profound Pool Sect disciple, but he had worn it for many years, and he no longer felt it on his wrist.
Now, the touch of the jade pendant on his wrist against his skin became obvious, and it felt extremely cold. Hearing the sentence "no surplus wealth in the family", he felt bad in his heart.
Li Li Xijun had been with his elder brother year after year and felt it even more deeply, feeling gloomy in his heart: 'Eldest brother only felt that he had snatched Li Ximing's things in vain, and had always been walking on thin ice. The sons had never been treated like sons... even he was harsh on himself.'
He was lost in thought, and several clan elders were whispering. Li Li Xizhi turned his head and said warmly to Li Li Xijun:
"Eldest brother was not good at words, only buried his head in doing things. When Li Ximing comes out of seclusion, I must tell him... The burden he threw away at eighteen, Eldest Brother has done it all for him."
Li Li Xicheng originally had more descriptions, probably originally having two or three pages to shape his image, but that time when the rhythm was accelerated, it was cut off. Now try to shape his image well, hoping to leave an impression on everyone. ===== CHAPTER 519 =====
