Chapter 615

The Li family's efficiency was always very high. Li Li Xijun waited on the edge of the continent, listened to the descriptions of the few array masters, and Li Li Chenghuai had already prepared many spiritual objects and brought people to catch up.

His attire was different from the robes of the Xiyue generation. He wore the pleated robes usually worn by noble family children, with black leaf patterns on the dark blue large sleeves, in two layers, quite elegant, and a white robe for mourning on the outside, clasping his hands in salute, very generous.

Li Li Chenghuai's appearance was not outstanding, and he was even more ordinary when he was young. Now at thirty-something, he had a steady air, which made him look decent. Having newly grasped the power in the family, he appeared high-spirited.

"Eighth Uncle!"

Li Li Chenghuai bowed and said:

"The spiritual objects are all brought, and several clansmen and outsiders with outstanding array skills have followed... perhaps they can help."

The spiritual objects he mentioned were clearly more than just those few gold-attribute treasures, but also many spiritual materials for setting up the array. Although they were not of high value, it would take some effort to organize them. Li Li Xijun nodded lightly and said:

"The masters are all here, let's discuss it together."

Li Li Chenghuai was ordered to land on the continent and began to talk with the few. Setting up the array was not a matter of a moment. Li Li Xijun handed the affairs of the continent to him and drove the cold snow all the way to Mount Qingdu Mountain.

Li Li Xuanxuan was chatting in the great hall. Beside him was the old cultivator He Jiumen. Both old men had witnessed the changes in Wangyue Lake for a hundred years and had quite a few common feelings when talking about it.

Such old cultivators had a fear of Foundation Establishment in their bones. Seeing Li Li Xijun enter from outside the hall, He Jiumen didn't dare to sit, jumped up on the spot, stood respectfully to the side, apologized twice, and hurriedly retreated.

Seeing him retreat, Li Li Xuanxuan then put away his smile, stroked his beard, and said:

"Daoist He has quite an understanding of the west bank. I was just getting to know him better, thinking of taking a few children to learn skills from him, and getting the refining part into my hands."

Li Li Xijun responded respectfully:

"He rushed to get close to you, which is also an idea. If you have the heart to make friends, it is also a good thing."

He changed the subject, looking somewhat distressed, and said softly:

"The forbidden great array is not difficult to break, and the cost is not much, but the island in the lake also needs to be set up with an array, which is the main event."

"The cost is one thing, but Senior Liu Liu Zhangdie is missing, and there is no master in the family who can be trusted. Even the opportunity to set up the array is not there!"

Li Li Xuanxuan also frowned with white eyebrows. Both knew in their hearts that the array of the island in the lake would be the foundation of the clan. If they went to find an immortal sect or immortal gate to set up the array, it would be putting their own safety in the hands of others.

The Li family had seen too much of this. The market town of the Yu family was broken by Jiang Jiang Heqian, and the array of the Fei family was entered and exited by others at will... all were lessons from the past. The only one who could be trusted, Liu Liu Zhangdie, was missing, which was undoubtedly a troublesome matter.

Li Li Xijun said softly:

"What's more, the island is very large, and it is not something an ordinary array master can set up. It consumes many spiritual objects and is not a matter of a moment."

Li Li Xuanxuan listened to the change in his tone and asked:

"What do you mean..."

Li Li Xijun responded:

"It's better to wait for the forbidden great array to be solved, and first send a few array masters to set up a Qi Refining great array to cover the island and integrate the Great Lake."

"As for the matter of the array, we will discuss it later."

He shook his head lightly and said in a low voice:

"That sect member of the Senior Chang Xiao Sect doesn't have much time overseas. Although Ming doesn't say it, it really shouldn't be dragged on and on. I'm afraid that if we miss it, it won't be beautiful."

Li Li Xuanxuan nodded heavily, thinking back and forth, looked at his expression, and probed:

"Li Xizhi returned this time, was he still warm?"

Li Li Xijun was stunned and responded:

"My lord, what are you talking about? Zhier returned specially to solve the west bank matter in his busy schedule. He didn't dare to stay long and immediately returned to the sect, so he didn't have time to pay respects."

Li Li Xuanxuan sighed. This old man was still worried about Li Li Yuexiang. He had sighed about "not cherishing his own siblings" when he sent Li Li Yuexiang out before. Now he couldn't mourn, but was worried about their sibling relationship, and advised:

"You are different from Ming and Zhi. You have to look after the family, so sacrifices are inevitable. It is best if they can understand..."

Li Li Xijun didn't expect him to bring up Li Li Ximing. He rubbed the sword hilt, drew the sword to wipe it, and shook his head:

"My lord, these words are meaningless. Uncle Li Yuanjiao told me long ago that holding the family is holding sin. This matter is my fault, no need to say more."

He sheathed the sword and took his leave to go up the mountain to find Li Li Ximing. Li Li Xuanxuan was still pondering in place. The old man suddenly remembered his sister, put down the cup in his hand, paced back and forth in the hall for most of the day, and still felt regretful.

A few months passed in a flash. Several auxiliary arrays on the island in the lake had been completed, shining faintly in the reeds by the island.

Li Li Chenghuai waited in the lake with people. Three magic lights arrived one after another in the sky, reflecting thunder, frost, and bright light. Li Li Chenghuai bowed and saluted, while the group of old men behind him knelt down with a crash.

"Greetings, my lords!"

Li Li Qinghong's reputation was not small. The thunder galloping on the riverbank had saved many cultivators, and they had seen her thunderous heavenly might with their own eyes. Thus, it spread among the families, and all kinds of titles filled the sky.

The Si family had the best eyes and were close to the Li family, so they were happy to build momentum. Thus, Mount Qingchi called her 【Sky Thunder Sparrow】. But Li Li Qinghong practiced Sky Thunder and held profound thunder magic treasures, so the various noble families called her Profound Thunder or Sky Thunder differently, which was quite chaotic.

With the past half year, Mount Qingchi cultivators and even Si Si Yuanli himself called her that in several public occasions, and the title 【Sky Thunder Sparrow】 became famous. The few all recognized her and became even more respectful.

Array Master Lin was the first to step forward and said respectfully:

"We have set up the great array, please bestow the treasure, my lord."

Li Li Qinghong nodded lightly, and Li Li Xijun behind her had already sent up the snow-white long bow, saying in a deep voice:

"This is the 【Shenbai】 used by the elders of the clan to guard the riverbank."

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Li Chenghuai looked up silently, and the rest of the old men were all stunned, then looked at 【Shenbai】 with fear and surprise, each with their own thoughts, secretly thinking:

"So this is 【Shenbai】."

Li Li Xuanfeng slaughtered eighteen Buddhists, and it was no exaggeration to call it the number one bow in Jiangnan. Array Master Lin hurriedly took it, only feeling his face was being cut by a knife, sent it into the great array, and then retreated to observe.

Not long after, he saw gold energy flourishing on the auxiliary array, and thunder surging. Array Master Lin sighed:

"Congratulations, my lords. This treasure is excellent. With the power of the three lords, resolving the residual thunder in the array is easy!"

"It's also a number of four or five."

Li Li Xijun calculated in his heart. Li Li Ximing and Aunt Li Li Qinghong were late-stage Foundation Establishments, and their cultivation was very profound, so naturally they couldn't be seen as ordinary Foundation Establishments:

"Since 【Shenbai】 is enough, there is no need to take out the Six-Xin Qijin Token."

The Six-Xin Qijin Token had lost much of its mystery, but it was still an ancient spiritual tool, and its material was extraordinary. It was best not to reveal it to others. Li Li Xijun only said:

"Then let's begin!"

He spread his sleeves, and several rays of light flew out from them.

The 【Zimu Profound Gold】 was about the size of a fist, bright white, showing dense dark gold patterns. The 【Dongxin Gold】 was slightly smaller, appearing light gold, with nothing special.

The 【Wuxuan Gold】 of Geng metal was scattered in black pieces, which were left after the self-detonation of the magic treasure of Di Fu of the Chi Sect back then, as well as the 【Lizhu Gold】 borrowed from the Xuanyue Sect, which was a pile of gold the size of rice grains.

Li Li Xijun waved his sleeves lightly, and these four spiritual objects landed on the array points respectively. In an instant, 【Shenbai】 on the main array shone brightly.

Array Master Lin immediately drove wind and flew up, wiped his old hand on the storage bag at his waist, revealed a treasure sword of the Tai Xi stage, and raised his other hand high, flicking his fingers hard on the sword spine.

"Clang!"

The treasure sword shook with force, swaying, and faintly had some cracks, but did not break. Array Master Lin felt embarrassed for a moment, hurriedly raised the treasure sword, and knocked three or four times on the magic light by the side of the array, only then hearing a crack, and the treasure sword broke into two pieces.

Array Master Lin had communicated with Li Li Chenghuai early on, and Li Li Chenghuai immediately flicked his sleeves and stepped forward to explain:

"This is the array ritual passed down by Master Lin's lineage, which is said to increase the possibility of success."

Li Li Xijun nodded slightly, and the great array under his feet rumbled and operated. Several magic powers landed on the array eye together, and the sky was covered with dark clouds. Li Li Qinghong nodded and said:

"Quite interesting."

Sure enough, the forbidden great array flickered, and the thunder within seemed to be attracted by something, all surging out of the array. The 【Shenbai】 long bow shone brilliantly and rose into the sky.

The magic power in his hands poured into the array. Li Li Qinghong saw 【Shenbai】 like a whale swallowing water, swallowing all the thunder in the sky, and said in a low voice:

"Residual electricity falls in metal. Perhaps it is not only the array path that has this. If there is a refining master, it is not difficult to specially craft a magic treasure. We must pay attention to this in the future."

"The junior understands."

Li Li Xijun had long remembered it clearly. After all, his own family had a thunder technique lineage, and it was even considered famous in Jiangnan. How could he not care about these things?

Between the two talking, there was less and less thunder in the sky. The 【Shenbai】 long bow exerted its full breath under the blessing of the three people's magic power, digesting all the thunder in the sky. The forbidden great array under the ground sprayed thunder one after another, but faintly seemed not enough.

After half a quarter of an hour, the forbidden great array began to draw on the spiritual energy of the surroundings. The few array masters had long seen the timing, and together drove several auxiliary arrays to lock the spiritual energy of the surroundings, preventing it from pouring into the great array.

If the great array in front of them was still the ancient array of the past, with high grade and occupying the geographical advantage, these few people wouldn't be able to lock even half a point of spiritual energy. Unfortunately, it was only a forbidden residual array left. The forbidden great array couldn't draw spiritual energy, and soon flickered.

"Boom!"

After a quarter of an hour, this great array finally overdrawn completely, emitting a piece of fragmented rumbling, slowly disappearing on the island in the lake, turning into countless thunder and profound light, disappearing without a trace in the sky.

A rich spiritual energy surged out, making Li Li Chenghuai feel refreshed. Looking up, he saw lush grass, and in the distance, he could see four residual pillars standing in the hinterland. The forbidden great array that had shrouded the island in the lake for nearly a hundred years finally vanished into smoke.

"Congratulations, my lord."

Li Li Xijun withdrew his hand and exhaled, calculating carefully. He had consumed five percent of his magic power. Going to ask Li Li Ximing and Aunt Li Li Qinghong, both had steady breaths. Li Li Qinghong had used three percent, while Li Li Ximing had used less than two percent.

Both had cultivation far superior to his, so Li Li Xijun was not surprised. Li Li Ximing's cultivation technique grade surpassed both, so naturally, he was the most relaxed.

The three landed before the array. Li Li Chenghuai had already taken the spiritual objects from the array and came forward. Sure enough, 【Wuxuan Gold】 and 【Lizhu Gold】 were not only intact but even shining brilliantly, and their appearance looked much better.

And 【Dongxin Gold】 and 【Zimu Profound Gold】 had long since disappeared. Only two completely different spiritual objects remained. Li Li Qinghong didn't even look at them and accepted them first. After waiting for the few to finish their auspicious words, she said warmly:

"Since the few have come, please also design a Qi Refining great array for my family, which can cover the continent. If there are any requirements, just go to Li Chenghuai."

Li Li Chenghuai nodded and stepped forward. The few old men were suddenly beaming with joy.

The reward for breaking this forbidden residual array before was not much, and it was something a few people fought to do, just to improve their own array path cultivation. But now, this great array was the real job that could earn spirit stones. The island in the lake was so large, and there was no lack of profit for the few, so naturally, they responded respectfully.

Li Li Qinghong drove thunder and returned, landing on Mount Qingdu Mountain with Li Li Xijun. Only then did she flick her sleeves lightly, releasing the two spiritual objects.

One spiritual object was like liquid, dazzling and blinding, restrained by magic power into the size of a head, like a small sun, its light extremely gorgeous.

Li Li Ximing identified it for a while and said softly:

"This thing seems to be 【Mang Jin Yu Liquid】, a Geng metal object, which has been extinct for many years. I can recognize this object... thanks to the "Mang Gold Asking Profound Technique"."

Li Li Xijun didn't have that much time to read various cultivation techniques on weekdays, but hearing this, he understood. Li Li Xuanfeng's storage bag had three ancient cultivation techniques, which were "Mang Gold Asking Profound Technique", "Deep Heart Chant", and "Washing Dew Yuan Formula". Looking at the usage habits of the cultivation techniques, they should all be obtained from the three drum walls of the Qing Song cave-heaven, so naturally, there was no spiritual energy to practice.

But the 【Mang Jin Yu Qi】 required by the "Mang Gold Asking Profound Technique" was refined from 【Mang Jin Yu Liquid】. Getting this thing in hand meant this cultivation technique could be practiced!

Li Li Qinghong heard the two finish speaking, nodded lightly, and calculated:

"In the cultivation techniques worthy of the direct line, gold, fire, and water are all sufficient, thunder and frost, and then there is the Bright Yang path, which is not easy to be targeted."

The other spiritual object was only the size of a fingernail, appearing gray-gold, icy cold to the touch, and extremely sturdy. The three looked around and couldn't recognize this thing, which was presumably some kind of spiritual object that had been extinct since ancient times.

Li Li Xijun accepted the two things, lost in thought, looked at the two, and said in a low voice:

"This matter has given me many inspirations... We were to eliminate residual thunder, so we had to convert Dui metal into Geng metal. But thinking about it, as long as we can find residual thunder, it can also be a way to obtain spiritual objects that do not exist in the world today."

"These things are ancient secrets, and the various sects should have them passed down. Perhaps there are more conversion methods, so that the direct line of the immortal sects can practice some ancient cultivation techniques where spiritual energy has disappeared..."

Li Li Ximing quickly remembered something and was about to speak, but Li Li Xijun had already said first:

"Brother, do you still remember the "Run Yang Technique"?"

"Of course I remember!"

This thing was read by Li Li Yuanjiao from the jade slip on Tu Tu Longjian when he first saw him. It could convert spiritual fire into each other. His own 【Long Xing Yuan Fire】 was converted from 【Profound Yang Li Fire】, which allowed the disciples in the family to practice the "Pheasant Fire Long Xing Technique"!

Having said this, Li Li Ximing naturally understood and said heavily:

"This thing has only been used once and has been left to gather dust in the family. It is more precious than we thought a thousand times! I'm afraid most of the fire-attribute cultivation techniques that cannot be practiced... are nothing to my family..."

Li Li Xijun nodded deeply. Li Li Ximing exhaled and lowered his eyebrows:

"He is truly pitied by heaven... any jade slip found on him is something that ordinary sects seek for hundreds of years and cannot get... how unfair is fate!"

Happy Winter Solstice, everyone!
