Chapter 610

Li Xijun pondered to this point and kept a heart, but unfortunately the jade box was empty, without any grooves or fixed protrusions, just a purely empty jade box. The two had not yet discussed anything, when a thunderbolt galloped over, landed on the island, the purple dissipated, revealing a female cultivator in feather clothing, holding a spear, her voice gentle:

"I have already looked at the island. It is cut and patched. With the surrounding islands and marshes, it is about a hundred miles in radius."

"It is not small."

Although Wangyue Lake is known as a three-thousand-mile Dahu and the largest lake in the Yue Kingdom, it has long been incomparable to ancient times. The narrow and long part in the west passes through Xiping Mountain, and the eastern tributary passes through the wilderness. The lake is flat and full of reeds. With the seasonal rise and fall, it is only a thousand miles in radius. The Huzhou is already extremely large.

Li Qinghong rode the thunder and landed. The thunder in this forbidden array was like nothing to her. She landed affectionately on the Du Ruo spear, purple electric arcs jumping. She opened her mouth and said:

"This array is forbidden, but can you find out the situation?"

"Aunt."

Although Li Ximing is an alchemist, the Li family's inheritance has reached this point, and he has dabbled in arrays, alchemy, talismans, and artifacts. After studying for a few days, he already had clues and bowed his hands:

"I looked at this array. It seems not to be an array of later generations. The patterns are ancient. There are four pillars in the array, symbolizing Binghuo, He Shui, Muhuo, and Mother Pin Shui. All four are still complete, so it is powerful."

Li Xijun took over the conversation and said softly: "Looking at it, it is an ancient array, not arranged by Chen Taoping. There is also the 【Cloud Gathering Heavenly South Great Array】 of the Fei family on the lake, which is also an ancient array. Perhaps it came from the same family. So I sent someone to the Fei family to take the object suppressing the array eye, and personally went home to take this jade box."

Li Xijun explained the causes and consequences. Li Qinghong took the jade box and looked at it carefully. This white jade box shone in her slender hands, and purple thunder flashed by. She hadn't opened her mouth yet, when a person and an ape fell from the sky.

"Greetings to all my lords!"

This person and ape were naturally Fei Tongyu and the White Ape. With his strength, he naturally couldn't enter the array alone. The White Ape was waiting for him outside the array.

Fei Tongyu had taken the medicine, and his complexion looked much better. Under the escort of the White Ape, he entered the array. As soon as he landed, he knelt down, held up a small flag with both hands, and offered it.

This small flag presented mysterious yellow and yellow colors, with dark silver patterns embroidered on the edges, emitting bursts of dim clouds, which looked quite good.

His two missing fingers were hidden behind the flag surface, and he said respectfully:

"The 【Cloud Gathering Heavenly South Great Array】 array eye 【Sui Xuan Flag】 is here."

"Senior, you are too polite."

Li Xijun's tone was very polite. He stepped aside, immediately helped him up, his expression gentle. Li Qinghong took the flag and replied warmly: "Jun'er is right. Brother Fei is one of our own, so don't be too polite."

Fei Tongyu just stood respectfully and lowered his head. Li Xijun looked at it carefully and understood: "The 【Cloud Gathering Heavenly South Great Array】 turned out to be a great array belonging to 'Sui Qi', which is rare in the south."

Speaking of 'Sui Qi', this Qi presents a mysterious yellow color. Among the Li family members, Li Xizhi in the sect understands it best. He has fought against Tuoba Zhongyuan of the 'Sui Qi' path. Emperor Wu of Liang was the 【Heavenly Accomplished Sui Qi Su Xuan True Person】, which is the True Person of the 'Sui Qi' path.

Li Qinghong heard this and guessed:

"If it is not wrong, the 【Cloud Gathering Heavenly South Great Array】 was also established during the Liang Dynasty, so it used 'Sui Qi'. At that time, this array was quite remarkable. Now that Liang has fallen, the power of this array is afraid that it has gone more than 60%..."

Even if the 【Cloud Gathering Heavenly South Great Array】 was greatly weakened, it was the first great array on the lake before the Li family. Ordinary Foundation Establishment could not easily take it down. The Fei family relied on this array to stand firm for generations.

Sure enough, Fei Tongyu nodded respectfully and replied: "Returning to my lord, this array was inhabited by my ancestors. Tracing back to the era, it also reached the Great Liang. The cultivators of Great Ning attacked this place, which was established by the cultivators guarding the river in the Ning Kingdom. As for the weakening of power, examining the family history, it is indeed the case."

Fei Tongyu paused slightly, lowered his head and said: "Although this array is ancient, it has never had any accidents for so many years. Only when the ancestor was killed in the past, that person walked through the array, treating this array as nothing. The array disk and array flag did not respond at all, respectfully sending him away."

Li Qinghong tilted her head slightly, meeting Li Xijun's gaze. This young man was also thoughtful: 'The cultivators guarding the river in the Ning Kingdom.'

There was a letter in Li Xuanfeng's relics, which was obtained from the Ning Kingdom palace. It was a letter written by a certain cultivator of the Ning Kingdom to the Sima family, which once mentioned: 'Your clan has been guarding the river bank for many years...'

"Could it be that this array once belonged to the Sima family."

Li Xijun suppressed his doubts, took the array flag, and compared it with the patterns on the ground one by one. After a long while, he opened his mouth and said:

"It should be from the same person."

Li Ximing breathed a sigh of relief, shook his sleeves, and replied: "That makes it much easier to handle! With an object of the array eye for reference, and then invite an array master, several Foundation Establishment cultivators work together. No matter how strong this array is, it is now just a forbidden array. Breaking it is not a difficult task."

The three of them stood up together. Li Xijun first looked at Fei Tongyu and said harmoniously: "Senior, please go back. I still need to trace the patterns on the array flag to break the array. This thing still needs to be borrowed for two or three days, and then returned together."

Fei Tongyu responded and bowed, and was escorted out by the White Ape. After he left, the three of them came out of the array together. Li Ximing was quite satisfied: "It is killing two birds with one stone. In this way, the array secrets of the Cloud Gathering Heavenly South Great Array are also mastered by us. No matter what happens in the future, at least this great array will not play any big role."

Li Xijun nodded slightly. The array patterns just now were indeed from the same person. However, whether it was or not, at least in front of Fei Tongyu, they were. He said softly:

"Submission requires the sacrifice of the authority of submission. Getting the array flag in this way is much gentler than other methods, at least it will not hurt the face of the rest of the Fei family, and Fei Tongyu will be better off in the middle."

"This thing is still Eighth Brother's specialty!"

Li Ximing shook his head and praised. Li Qinghong was still observing the jade box in her hand. Li Xijun turned his head and replied: "This thing should also be sent to Zhige's hands to check if there is any origin in the sect. The Fei family's matter is a lesson from the past. These ancient arrays and ancient artifacts are indeed easy to use, but I don't know who the original owner is. I am afraid that others will come and go at will."

Speaking of ancient artifacts, Li Ximing's eyes lit up. He took out an object from his sleeve and threw it into the air. It suddenly rotated and grew larger, actually turning into an incense burner the size of a person.

This incense burner was crimson, with three feet all patterned with beast faces. The furnace wall was painted with a three-eyed beast that was neither wolf nor tiger, and all four feet stepped on clouds and smoke, lifelike. It was the 【Three-Eyed Qiaoshan Beast】 that was quite famous in ancient times.

Only the bottom of the furnace was printed with the two characters 【Sima】, shining brightly. Li Ximing spent a lot of time and finally finished refining this thing, quite satisfied: "This furnace is called 【Wrong Incense】, which is an ancient Foundation Establishment artifact. It is different from many magic artifacts today and is not used for fighting."

Seeing the two look over, Li Ximing introduced:

"This furnace is good at raising fire and burning smoke. It can not only sustain various spiritual fires but also suppress fire veins, transforming the evil spirit erupted from the fire veins into spiritual smoke. Such efficacy is unheard of."

He pinched the formula lightly in his hand, and a fire light jumped in the furnace, turning into the shape of a bird, which was obviously the Li family's only spiritual fire 【Long-term Origin Fire】 stored in it.

The Li family's Wutu Mountain has a fire vein, the firepower is medium, alchemy is still okay, but alchemy is a bit insufficient. Fortunately, the Yu family has deep savings, and there are two fire veins in the dense forest mountain. One is used for alchemy and one is used for alchemy. The history is very long. This magic artifact is not worried about not being used.

Li Ximing's talisman Qi 【Valley Wind Fire Induction】 can refine flames. First, he showed this ability to raise fire, and continued: "What is more wonderful is that this furnace has the ability to 【Raise Qi】, which can store various spiritual energies without hindering each other. Most spiritual energies can be warmed and raised without letting them slowly dissipate over time."

This efficacy is really good, making Li Xijun's eyes light up.

The Li family's current Qi collection techniques have dozens of types, and the accommodation conditions for each spiritual energy are different. What's more, one spiritual energy requires a special jade bottle. Accumulated, it is not a small share. These jade bottles have space inside and cannot be put into the storage bag.

"Send it to Yuting..."

Li Xijun read a sentence and said softly: "Forget it, send it to the dense forest. You can set up a new department later, specializing in Qi collection."

The Li family's body is becoming more and more huge. It is not a good thing for the Yuting Guard to be too centralized. Every aspect must be divided into special departments. Li Xijun has already started to set up a new system, preparing to change the law by taking the opportunity of moving to the Huzhou.

His thoughts Li Qinghong also understood, and the woman thought to herself: "【Wrong Incense】 is a family treasure, and this screen is not much worse. It is a pity that the difficulty of refining is too great. The magic power invested in it so far is like a stone sinking into the sea... I don't know when it can be refined."

【Wrong Incense】 is in Li Ximing's hands, and the screen is naturally in Li Qinghong's hands. It hasn't been refined for a while. As for the gold talisman and mercury drops, the Li clan doesn't understand, but Si Yuanli, who has been to the Great Ning Palace, is 80% or 90% aware. Xizhi has already started to ask.

The three of them landed on the peak, and Li Xuanxuan came up to meet them. The old man held a letter in his hand, his brows locked. Li Xijun took the lead and bowed:

"My lord, this is..."

Li Xuanxuan just handed the letter over. Li Xijun took it and looked: "Ning Hejing, Chi Fupo and others, following the legacy immortal order of the Sect Master, overnight supported Chi Zhiyan's son Chi Xuxiao as the Sect Master... promoted Chi Zhihu, Xia Yun, Ning Hede and others to serve in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, Qi Collection Peak, Immortal Tribute Division, Cloud Ship Division..."

"At the hour of Zi, Si Yuanli returned to Qingchi, saying that the rescue was not in time. Chi Xuxiao did not think it was a crime and rewarded him greatly..."

Li Xijun looked silently. Li Ximing took the letter and frowned:

"How did a Qi Refining Sect Master run out!"

The letter mentioned that Chi Xuxiao was only twelve years old and only at the second level of Qi Refining. A Qi Refining Sect Master of the Qingchi Sect had not appeared for more than three hundred years. Li Xuanxuan just shook his head and said: "I only see that Si Yuanli is not having a good time. None of them have any good intentions towards him."

Everyone arrived at the hall and sat down. The letter was passed around and returned to Li Xijun's hands. He read it twice and said in a low voice:

"The Qingchi Sect's reaction is surprisingly fast... but this disposal is unexpected..."

The young man in white held the hilt of his sword, his voice slightly lower, and said warmly: "A Sect Master has been established. How do Ning Hejing and the various Chis think..."

Most of the names in the letter were not known to everyone, except for a few familiar ones and Chi Zhihu of the Chi family's middle branch. The rest were probably either the remnants of the Chi family or the people of the Ning family. Li Xijun said: "Actually, Chi Zhiyun has not left seclusion, so there is no need to be so urgent. Just promote the Chi family and their own people to control a few key positions, win over the various families, and wait and see..."

"Although the various families are dissatisfied with the Chi family, Chi Zhiyun is good at winning people over. The various Daoists in the sect still recognize the Chi family. Now it seems weak instead."

Of course, whether it is the Chi family's move or the attitude of the various families and Daoists, it is under the premise that True Person Yuanxiu Si Boxiu is missing or not intervening—as long as Si Boxiu takes action, Qingchi changing from Chi to Si is just a matter of a single sentence.

Li Qinghong nodded and said softly: "It's just looking at Si Yuanli's move, at least True Person Yuanxiu has no other intentions... otherwise why bother to enter the hall and plead guilty?"

Li Xijun responded and organized his words in his heart. First, he said decisively: "Chi Zhiyun absolutely cannot have any legacy orders. If he could think of today, that order should not be to establish a child... This thing must be forged."

"My nephew guesses, perhaps there is some compromise between Ning Hejing and the Chi family... perhaps the Chi family doesn't trust Ning Hejing, and Ning Hejing is also afraid of killing the donkey... This possibility is too much. In short, this list, or Chi Xuxiao himself—is the result of compromise..."

Everyone was lost in thought. Li Xuanxuan looked at this situation and secretly took it as a warning, thinking about the system between the branches, and said on the side:

"No matter which family it is placed in, such a big defeat where the main branch is wiped out will hurt for decades, not to mention the Chi family's Zifu is missing..."

Mentioning the Chi family's Zifu missing, Li Qinghong raised her teacup and took a sip, lowering her brows to cover her expression. Li Xijun raised his eyebrows slightly and continued:

"It is this reason. The Sect Master is established. Establishing has the benefits of establishing. In any case, it is better than doing nothing. Next, it is Si Yuanli's headache to break the situation."

"No matter what, the Qingchi Sect's turmoil has begun. The Yuanxiu branch is deeply rooted and ambitious. The Chi-Ning branch has a name but is mixed...."

Although the Li family had long confirmed that Qingchi was going to have turmoil, sometimes things would not develop according to the trend imagined. Who knows if Si Boxiu would show up in person? Who knows if Ning Hejing and others would sit and wait for death? If the Si family was like a broken bamboo, occupying the main seat of Qingchi in one breath under the host of the Zifu True Person, looking back, how could these tail-heavy families be better in the eyes of the Si family?

As long as they sit in that position, whether surnamed Si or Chi is the same position. It is nothing more than the Li family having merits before, and the Si family's attitude is gentler. But can they watch the land of a lake fall into the hands of the Li family? This situation is actually normal in the eyes of everyone. Only Li Xijun secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, his brows became relaxed, his eyes bright, and his words changed: "And my Li family."

The young man in white breathed out, his tone much more relaxed, and said in a low voice:

"We should take advantage of the turmoil of the upper sect, the struggle between several factions, the waste of offerings, and the opportunity of no one to manage the various families to achieve our family's century-old wish!"

"Swallow the Dahu, enter the Central Continent, become the head of a county, seize spiritual objects, seek Zifu..."

He paused, white clothes better than snow, his tone cold and sharp, word by word: "The merits of all six generations!"
