Chapter 61: Sacrificial Extraction and Origin-Seizing Method
"The family has no major important matters. With Third Brother and me here, you don't need to worry."
Li Tongya smiled, touched ten spirit stones from the storage bag, and said softly:
"Our family still owes your Senior Brother Xiao Yuansi ten spirit stones. Why don't you take them back to Green Spike Peak on your way, so you don't have to go through another hand."
Li Chijing suddenly realized and smiled:
"I forgot that the family still owes Senior Brother ten spirit stones."
The three chatted, walked and looked at the scattered stalls, gradually left the market, took the large boat to the shore of Moon-Watching Lake, and headed to Lijing Mountain.

Lu Jiangxian heard many chaotic noises in his confusion, and massive amounts of information and conversations appeared in his mind, but disappeared like quicksand slipping through his fingers.
A pleasant female voice rang in his ears, and Lu Jiangxian vaguely saw a blurry face, but couldn't remember anything.
"Mount Qingchi Gate? Isn't it Mount Qingchi Sect."
Lu Jiangxian muttered to himself, and finally woke up suddenly, staring blankly at the tea table and furnishings in the small house.
The incense by the stone platform had been burning for a long time, emitting white smoke. Li Mutian was dozing on the stool opposite, and the moonlight shone on his own cyan-grey mirror body, looking extremely magnificent.
After pondering and recalling for a few breaths, everything in his mind slowly disappeared like a big dream, leaving only a volume of cultivation technique.
"Sacrificial Extraction and Origin-Seizing Method"!
This technique is in the same line as the "Profound Pearl Sacrificial Spirit Technique," and it is also a technique performed with the mirror body as a medium. It uses incense, souls, essence blood, and spiritual power as objects of sacrifice, harmonizing all kinds of energy, and refining a strand of Lu energy.
The volume claims that this Lu energy: strengthens cultivation, grows six senses, promotes root bones, changes aptitude, pulls up quality, supplements deficiencies... all kinds of supernatural things, wonderful and indescribable.
"But it can't repair my mirror body! It seems I still have to look for things that can repair the mirror body."
Lu Jiangxian sighed regretfully, his spiritual sense moved, and he contacted several of his talisman seeds wandering outside, and immediately found that Li Chijing and the others had left the market and were coming to Lijing Mountain.
"It's a pity. After such an incident, I didn't go to explore the attraction in the market. I can only wait until next time."
His spiritual sense moved, and the cyan-grey mirror floated up again, slowly absorbing the moon splendor under the soft moonlight.

After returning to Lijing Mountain, Li Chijing took out the talisman ink and explained to Li Xiangping and the others:
As he spoke, he fetched a cup of clear water and dripped a drop of the talisman ink into it; it immediately bloomed, turning the entire cup of clear water a pale, wine-red color.
He took another piece of cloth, placed it on the stone table, pressed it tightly with paperweights on both sides, and soaked the cyan jade talisman brush in the clear water for a while.
"That's it."
He picked up the brush and wrote quickly on the cloth. In less than a stick of incense, the talisman head and talisman gallbladder were completed in one go. A light red talisman pattern immediately appeared on the cloth, integrated, emitting a faint red light.
Li Chijing put down the brush lightly and waited for a few breaths. The cloth made a bang, and it burned on the spot. Not long after, it turned into a smear of black ash, attached to the desktop.
"If this talisman is drawn, the cloth cannot bear the talisman power, so it naturally burns. If it is not drawn, wash off the ink on the cloth and draw it again from the beginning."
Li Xiangping's eyes lit up and he smiled:
"Jie'er, this is really a clever method. It doesn't waste the talisman paper, and uses less talisman ink, greatly reducing the cost."
Li Chijing nodded, laughed low, and explained:
"This is just a clever trick taught by Master. The Mount Qingchi Sect has been inherited for six hundred years, so naturally, there are some clever methods."
Looking up at the sky, Li Chijing said sternly:
"I still have one day left. Do you have any doubts about cultivation? Has anyone in the family practiced the 'Profound Water Sword Technique'?"
Li Tongya became interested, untied the green blade at his waist, and smiled:
"I have practiced sword light, but the sword energy is slow to leave the body. I don't know if it counts as practiced?"
"Sword light and sword energy are just introductory."
Li Chijing waved his hand and continued:
"The sword techniques in the world are all different, but the sword techniques are roughly in a few realms: sword light, sword energy, sword origin, and sword intent are almost similar. It's just that the difficulty of the sword technique is different, so there is a distinction."
"This 'Profound Water Sword Technique' is considered simple among Qi Refining sword techniques. Almost after practicing for a short period of time, one can practice sword light."
Li Xiangping's expression was embarrassed. Thinking of the several times he read the sword technique but couldn't read anything, let alone practice sword light, he had to lower his head and pick up the Spirit-in-Talisman Technique to read carefully.
Li Chijing laughed low, untied the sword at his waist, drew the pure white sword body, and smiled:
"Watch."
As soon as the words fell, a grey-white sword light lit up on the blade, undulating like breathing. As Li Chijing raised his eyebrows, the sword light immediately spat out, turned into a sword energy about three inches wide and soared into the sky, whistling and piercing a large banyan tree in the distance.
Li Tongya frowned and watched for a while. Li Chijing personally gave pointers. After Li Tongya went down to practice by himself, Li Chijing clapped his hands and suddenly realized:
"I realized a sword technique on Green Spike Peak, only one move. I'd better record it in the family first, lest I die outside one day and let this sword technique be lost in vain."
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Li Xiangping scolded in a low voice and said sternly:
"Jie'er, you must take care of yourself outside! Your Third Brother and I can't share anything for you, we just guard the family for you. The outside is dangerous, you must be very careful..."
Li Xiangping nagged for a while, seeing Li Chijing listening attentively, he was silent for a few breaths, and said:
"Your Third Brother is dull-witted. I have been bumping and bumping for these years and reached the fourth level of Embryonic Breath, the Green Origin Wheel. It is becoming more and more powerless. If there are no elixirs and spiritual items, I am afraid that in the end, I will only be a Jade Capital Wheel Spirit Initial Wheel."
"Your Second Brother's aptitude is better than Third Brother's, but not much better. He can't compare to you. It's just that there is hope for breaking through to Qi Refining. Relying on us two, we can maintain the Li family's territory, and with that mirror, my Li family is not afraid of breaking the inheritance."
Sitting on the ground, Li Xiangping said with some sigh:
"Your Second Brother inquired when he went to Crown Cloud Peak. The Mount Qingchi Sect has very strict requirements for recruiting disciples from the families under its rule. At least they can cultivate to Qi Refining, and one or two out of ten can even reach Foundation Establishment."
"Your Second Brother and I can die, but you cannot."
Listening to Li Xiangping's words, Li Chijing's eyes were wet, and he said in a low voice:
"Our family can all be well. Third Brother, don't worry. Jie'er will also work hard in the sect and strive for some resources for the family." ===== CHAPTER 62 =====
