Chapter 555

Two True Persons appeared at the same time. True Person Senior Chang Xiao looked toward True Person Hengxing, his smile a bit playful. Tuo Tu Longjian broke through the red fog, appeared, looked at the two Early Zifu cultivators in the air, neither humble nor arrogant, and said loudly:

"Junior Tuo Tu Longjian, named Junjian, attained divine ability with Mutuo fire, I have seen two seniors." True Person Senior Chang Xiao had a pair of willow-leaf eyebrows and deep cultivation, but he was very kind to Tuo Tu Longjian, with both hands behind his back, saying gently:

"So it is True Person Junjian. Fellow Daoist attained Early Zifu at a young age, truly outstanding, we admire you very much."

He said this politely, but True Person Senior Chang Xiao was also not old, with high means and decisive actions, and was one of the few who cultivated the fastest among the Early Zifu.

True Person Hengxing on the side was very disgusted by True Person Senior Chang Xiao's words, facing him with a cold face, making his position clear, and only thawed a lot when turning to Tuo Tu Longjian, saying softly:

"Congratulations to True Person Junjian. I am Hengxing of Hengzhu Dao. The two sects look at each other across the mountain, and we can communicate and exchange more in the future."

True Person Senior Chang Xiao had no malice toward True Person Hengxing, just remained silent with his hands behind his back when the other party spoke. Tuo Tu Longjian could see that the two sides had a very bad relationship, so he didn't rashly get close to either side, only replying: "I have long heard of the prestige of the two lords. Junjian should have come to visit, but I just broke through, and there are many insights into divine ability, so I stayed in the mountain."

Both True Persons heard his subtext. Senior Chang Xiao smiled without saying a word, while Hengxing nodded and said:

"Just broke through to Early Zifu, you need to experience the divine ability well. Fellow Daoist Junjian, when you have free time, you can go north along Taixu to see Mount Bianyan Mountain."

Tuo Tu Longjian had never left the mountain, but he was not completely ignorant of the news from the outside world. Hearing that Mount Bianyan Mountain was a struggle between immortals and demons, with Early Zifu and Mohas fighting, he had long had the intention to do his part, saying in a low voice: "Junjian understands."

These words made the two True Persons have different expressions. Hengxing nodded and said goodbye, disappearing. True Person Senior Chang Xiao finally opened his mouth and said:

"Fellow Daoist Junjian, you and I have some fate. We both struggled out of the chess game. I am a few years older, so I will give you a reminder."

Tuo Tu Longjian's expression was calm, and he didn't change color because of his words, saying loudly: "Senior, please give me advice."

Senior Chang Xiao looked at him quietly, opening his mouth and saying:

"Fellow Daoist, you came all the way, grabbing things from which family, and receiving favors from which family, all have no meaning. After Early Zifu, the gains and losses in the previous chess game are not important, but there are a few things that need to be picked out and calculated."

"The first is Early Zifu magic treasures. Ordinary Early Zifu magic treasures are fine, but the 【Six Ding Tianwu Tianwu Binghuo Order】 is a heavy treasure, and the Guo family cannot compromise."

Tuo Tu Longjian nodded slightly, seemingly having expected it, and said thanks. Senior Chang Xiao's willow-leaf eyes stared at him, clear clouds rising on his robes. He looked at Tuo Tu Longjian intently and said softly: "The jade box of the Qing Pine Temple is missing two pieces. Fellow Daoist knows their whereabouts, right."

Tuo Tu Longjian's pupils moved when he heard this. Senior Chang Xiao said calmly: "One is 'Taiqing', and the other is 'Taixu'. Fellow Daoist must know the value of these two things now. Mount Qingchi couldn't spare his hands back then, and Senior Zipei determined that the opportunity was limited and refused to take action."

"Now that fellow Daoist has walked to the stage, you either return them to curry favor with one of the sects, or pretend not to hear and refuse to return them, seeking your own opportunity."

Tuo Tu Longjian listened to these words carefully and replied: "Thank you, Senior, for the guidance."

Senior Chang Xiao looked at him quietly and said softly: "There are many roads. Guo Guo Shentong and I walked along different paths back then, and now we have become enemies. Fellow Daoist, take care of yourself."

After he said this, his figure gradually dissipated. Only then did a few figures appear one by one in the distance, either a golden-clothed woman, smiling, or a serious old man, old-fashioned and serious, or a gloomy man, a sword-stroking female immortal.

True Person Yuan Xiu of the Mount Qingchi Sect came, bowing to him meticulously, seemingly not taking Senior Chang Xiao's words to heart at all, saying a few polite words and leaving.

Most of the three sects and seven gates, such as Jin Yu, Ziyan, and Xuanyue, had arrived, and their tone was still polite, only missing the Xueji Gate and Xiuyue Sect.

"The Xueji Gate has been closed for nearly two hundred years, so it's normal to have no movement... The Xiuyue Sect is also closed, and several Early Zifu immortal clans under Xiuyue are unable to take care of themselves, so I fear it is very difficult to spare time to come here."

And the two Early Zifu immortal clans of the Yue State, perhaps because the Early Zifu cultivators were out and not in the Yue State, did not appear to visit. Tuo Tu Longjian stood in place for a breath, and no more Early Zifu cultivators appeared, so he fell back into the red fog.

The cave dwelling in the mountain was red, and every table and chair presented a red color. The cave dwelling was wide, and several bright Dharma beads were inlaid on the top. Tuo Tu Longjian arrived at the mansion, took out a black-red token from his sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Senior, did you hear clearly?"

This token flashed twice, released several gray flames, circled twice in the air, and fell back into the token.

Tuo Tu Longjian put two fingers together, placed them on his two lips, the fingertips facing his face, the fingertips just level with the tip of his nose, the hazy colors in his two eyes lit up lightly, and a gray wind emerged between his fingers.

He ordered softly:

"Perverse Mutuo fire, knead into a human body!"

This gray wind swirled in the cave for a week, rolled up the 【Six Ding Tianwu Tianwu Binghuo Order】, and landed, transforming into a gray-clothed man, with deep eye sockets, thin cheeks, and a small figure, standing firmly on the ground, taking a deep breath, and saying happily: "It's still comfortable to be a human!"

"Senior Guo."

Tuo Tu Longjian had no intention of chatting with him, looked at him deeply, and said in a low voice: "What else have you hidden from this junior?"

This gray-clothed man sat on the seat carelessly, drank tea, and laughed:

"You probably guessed it almost! Although you have fate, if there were no Early Zifu cultivators to help, how could you have reached today so easily and smoothly?"

Tuo Tu Longjian looked at him silently. The gray-clothed man shrugged: "Senior Chang Xiao is beating around the bush, but I will tell you straight, it is Chijiao Island!"

Tuo Tu Longjian's expression sank little by little, and he said in a low voice: "So... the 【Six Ding Tianwu Tianwu Binghuo Order】 was deliberately sent to my hands by Guo Guo Hongyao... Your many promises and calculations... were all instructed by Guo Guo Shentong, and putting your soul into the order was also to calculate me."

Guo Er laughed and replied:

"Fart! Guo Guo Shentong hasn't been seen for many years, maybe he died in some corner! Chijiao Island says the soul lamp is bright, without any signs of weakness, but who knows if it's Guo Guo Shentong's soul lamp!"

"As for Guo Guo Hongyao? She doesn't have half a heart, how could she know what is deliberate or not? It's just that she became a sacrifice in the faction struggle!"

"Chijiao Island's East Reef and West Reef factions are fighting endlessly. Letting this magic treasure flow into your hands, one side must be hoping for my return, to integrate the two factions. As for who it is... I don't know either!"

Tuo Tu Longjian was silent, but Guo Er said:

"They calculated accurately. Either I will take your body, or I will get a body because of gratitude, and they can get such an ally as you, with a hundred benefits and no harm."

This gray-clothed man drank several sips of tea, seemingly savoring the taste of the tea, and said happily:

"Tuo Tu Longjian, the old man is sincere to you. Once I knead a real body and combine Chijiao Island, you and I will join hands. What else can't be solved!"

Tongmo County.

Clouds and mist drifted in the sky. Li Li Chengliao stood on the clouds, his feet stepping on crystal clear airflow. The White Ape, transformed into an old man, drove the clouds silently, shuttling through at extreme speed.

Tuo Tu Longjian attained Early Zifu. The Li family thought about it. In the current turbulent situation, Li Li Ximing should not be dispatched, and Li Li Zhouwei had not yet established his foundation. It was better for Li Li Chengliao, who was the head of the family, to be solemn.

Moreover, Li Li Chengliao had grown up in the clan since he was a child and had never seen the outside world, and later he had been in seclusion for cultivation day after day. He was very looking forward to this matter, so he was satisfied to go out when he had nothing to do.

The place under his feet was the Yuyang Chen clan of Tongmo County, with many mortals and a vibrant scene. Li Li Chengliao had also been managing the family for many years, looking at the regular buildings and courtyards, and nodded.

The Chen clan was also a famous big clan. Not to mention the Yuyang Chen clan, the Lingyu Gate was also surnamed Chen back then, but the origins of the two families were different. The Yuyang Chen clan had lived here for generations, while the Lingyu Gate ancestor seemed to have moved from the Ning State.

The Li family was also like this. It is said that there is another Li clan in the Wu State, which has also lived in the Wu State for generations, while the Wangyue Li clan is considered a northern remnant clan.

Putting aside these things, the situation of the Chen clan was much better than that of the Li clan. After all, they were deep-rooted local snakes, and almost every sect had people of the same clan. Although there was only one Early Zifu cultivator, the relationship with each sect could be considered quite good.

Seeing Li Li Chengliao looking out of his mind, the White Ape rarely opened his mouth and said: "Family head, the Chen family bloodline in the clan is not bad, and it should also be related to these two Chens."

Li Li Chengliao naturally understood and only replied:

"There is an opportunity to check, but it is said that this secret method involves Early Zifu, so I fear it is not so easy."

The two were chatting when they soon left the Yue State boundary. The mountains became steep, often shrouded in miasma, and the forests became towering and gloomy, with demon energy soaring into the sky from time to time, roaring and howling.

Kuijun Mountain is located on the border of the southern border. Although the man and the demon had never been here, they recognized it at a glance.

Without it, in the middle of the green miasma, Kuijun Mountain was hazy and bright, with red energy soaring into the sky. The vision brought by the Early Zifu breakthrough had not yet completely disappeared. The night was deep, and there was not a single cloud in the sky above the mountain top. In the distance, it was surrounded by a piece of red fog, and cultivators flew in and out, which was very lively.

The two stopped at the foot of the mountain, but saw that the mountain gate had already been erected, which was still decent. The two stood in front of the gate, looking very disciplined, and only asked the two to go up the mountain.

Walking up all the way, everything was orderly, with clear functions. Although the cave dwelling was a bit sloppy, one could already see the care taken. Li Li Chengliao was slightly surprised, secretly thinking: "So amazing."

Although Tuo Tu Longjian was a lone man, seeing the current appearance, he had many confidants and subordinates who had formed relationships and surrendered, which was enough to support the appearance of a sect.

Li Li Chengliao was observing the organization of the Tuojun Gate cultivators, but the White Ape's expression was much more complicated, looking at the group of cultivators running up and down, everything that was similar but not similar, and remained silent.

Li Li Chengliao handed the jade box in his hand to the cultivator who came to meet him, and said softly:

"Mount Qingdu Li family, offering 【Taiyan Long Fruit】, congratulating the True Person on attaining Early Zifu!"

He said this while smoothing the jade box lightly. The color of the white jade box gradually faded, turning into a transparent color, presenting the things inside.

It was a fruit that was rising in flames, bright and hazy, and long in shape. The rich flames were darting back and forth in the box, which was also a rare treasure medicine.

This thing was obtained from the Yu family's treasure house many years ago. 【Purple Jin Lian Bodhi】 was given to Master Kongheng, and the monk's eyes were wide open, thanking him repeatedly. And this 【Taiyan Long Fruit】 happened to be a fire-virtue treasure, and it was even nine times out of ten Mutuo fire. It was just right to send it as a congratulatory gift.

This congratulatory gift was both precious and met the heart, making Tuo Tu Longjian's subordinates who came to meet him look at him with high regard, recording it carefully before retreating.

The White Ape opened the door of the cave dwelling and said in a hoarse voice:

"Family head, be prepared. Once this name is passed up, the True Person will definitely come to meet you."

Li Li Chengliao nodded and sat down, feeling a bit tangled in his heart: "It is said that the True Person and Uncle have a deep relationship, but he has already been asked to take action in the Qing Pine Temple, and the favor has been spent a lot. The elder fell... and the True Person has no relationship with the others in the family..."

"Hatred is not forgotten for a hundred years, and favors are always as thin as paper... The predecessor has passed away... although there is still some connection, if you really want to ask this True Person to take action, I fear even the last connection will be thin."

Li Li Chengliao had been waiting for half a quarter of an hour when he heard the door of the cave dwelling knocked twice, and two loud laughs were passed in, revealing a black-clothed man.

"Is it the Li clan visiting?"

A figure appeared in front of Li Li Chengliao. It was a black-robed youth, smiling cheerfully, dressed in a capable manner, with several deep red patterns drawn on his cuffs, stepping into the cave dwelling.

"Junior has seen the True Person!"

Tuo Tu Longjian had a young face, looked ordinary, only with a hazy point between his eyebrows, and was very generous to people. Perhaps because he had just attained divine ability, he did not have the high-and-mighty attitude of ordinary Early Zifu cultivators.

But after all, he was a Early Zifu cultivator. He just stepped into this cave dwelling, and there was a feeling of stuffiness and slight suffocation, and the sense of oppression rushed toward his face.

Li Li Chengliao bowed and left his seat, but was helped up by Tuo Tu Longjian before he could finish the action. He felt slightly relieved, and the youth in front of him smiled: "It's really troublesome for your clan to spend your heart. 【Taiyan Long Fruit】 is rare now. Your clan's gift is too heavy."

Tuo Tu Longjian also knew something about the Li family's situation. Now that the situation was much better than many years ago, taking out this treasure medicine was not easy, which made his voice somewhat sighing: "Just a little bit is fine..."

He had no movement, and the door of the cave dwelling had closed itself. The youth sat on the seat and said softly:

"After we parted at Qing Pine, I hid east and west, closed my doors everywhere, seeking breakthrough, and haven't been to your clan to worship the predecessor. It is my fault..."

No matter how polite Tuo Tu Longjian was, Li Li Chengliao dared not sit down, only pouring tea for him in front of him. Seeing him not sitting, Tuo Tu Longjian didn't force him, but said in a low voice: "Qing Pine Temple Yu Yu Muxian matter, did Mount Qingchi make things difficult for you?"

He raised his head slightly, thoughtful, his eyes cold: "It couldn't be that Tang Tang Shedu is still making trouble, holding a grudge against your family?"
