Chapter 62: Communicating
"There is no such thing as peace and joy every year in the world! Life and death, rise and fall, are in the blink of an eye. I am not afraid. I only worry about whether the descendants can take on great responsibilities."
Li Xiangping smiled bitterly, stopped discussing this topic, took the cloth and ink brush, and asked Li Chijing to write down the sword technique.
"I have only written one sword technique for this sword technique, so it is called..."
Li Chijing tilted his head and thought about it. The moon-white arc-shaped sword energy appeared in his mind, and he said:
"Let's call it the Moon Gate Sword Arc."
After speaking, he picked up the brush and wrote on several pieces of cloth, detailing the breathing route, the distribution of magic power on the sword body, and the sword-drawing technique, and then put away the cloth with satisfaction.
"After you go to the Immortal Sect, I will transcribe it on a wooden slip."
Li Xiangping put away the cloth like a treasure and smiled.
Looking at the sky, another hour had passed. Li Chijing taught Li Xiangping some key points of talisman techniques, talked with Li Mutian all night, and used some magic technique supplements to nourish the old man's body, and finally set off for Pear River Pass.
————
Sitting on the Rosy Cloud Boat for a quarter of an hour, Li Chijing still remembered the family affairs. Senior Sister Yuan Tuan saw that he was absent-minded and said in a low voice:
"How is the old man's health?"
Li Chijing then remembered that he had returned home in the name of visiting relatives. He silently tightened the slender cyan jade bottle at his waist and said dully:
"He can still eat. I adjusted his body, and he should be able to hold on for a few more years."
Yuan Tuan sighed in a low voice, only thinking that Li Chijing was feeling uncomfortable, and persuaded:
"Cultivators can hardly avoid birth, old age, sickness, and death, let alone mortals. It is best to suffer less."
Li Chijing chatted one after another, but in his heart, he was carefully considering how to explain the origin of this Supreme Yin Moon Splendor to Si Yuanbai.
"Don't mention that the Lake Jin Qiu has to be requested from the sect, just borrowing the 'Moon Lake Reflecting Autumn Technique' requires Master's consent. This private practice of the technique is absolutely impossible. I still have to communicate with Master first."
Thinking of this, Li Chijing smiled at Yuan Tuan and said softly:
"Senior Sister, is Master on Green Spike Peak?"
Yuan Tuan burst into laughter and replied with a smile.
"Ah?"
Li Chijing was stunned, and a sense of being moved rose in his heart.
"In the end, the disciples of the surrounding peaks ran over to watch the excitement. It was the Yuanwu Peak Master who personally apologized and removed the thick clouds."
"Truly troubling Master."
Li Chijing smiled bitterly. He didn't feel wronged, but that Deng Qiuzhi had suffered a small loss here. The Deng family was a noble clan, and Li Chijing was also afraid of offending the other party too deeply.
The Rosy Cloud Boat was very fast. The two chatted for a while, and the Mount Qingchi Sect mountain gate appeared in front of them. Yuan Tuan dropped Li Chijing at Green Spike Peak and drove the boat to the main peak.
Li Chijing landed and walked for a while, seeing Senior Brother Xiao Yuansi collecting elixirs facing the morning sun. He put the elixir into the bottle and saw Li Chijing, his eyes lit up, and he smiled:
"Senior Brother has vented your anger and beaten that Deng Qiuzhi up."
"Many thanks, Senior Brother!"
Li Chijing laughed loudly, stepped on the stone steps, leaned forward, and said in a low voice:
"Senior Brother, what elixir are you refining?"
"Just tinkering with some things, trying some of my own new ideas."
Xiao Yuansi shook his head, touched the still-warm alchemy furnace, smiled, and said sternly:
"Master is at the summit, you go see him quickly."
"Just about to go."
Li Chijing nodded, touched ten spirit stones from his storage bag, and smiled:
"I forgot that the family still owes Senior Brother ten spirit stones. Now I can pay them back."
Xiao Yuansi waved his hand indifferently, took the spirit stones in Li Chijing's hand, threw them into the storage bag, and looked down at his alchemy book.
Li Chijing bowed and said goodbye, stepped lightly along the small path, and saw a small pavilion covered by pale white clouds and mist from afar.
Just after reaching the platform at the summit, he saw a man in cyan clothes, in his thirties or forties, with a handsome appearance and a gentle smile, with a white-glittering precious sword at his waist, standing elegantly between the pavilions.
Li Chijing thumped up the stairs, cupped his hands respectfully and smiled:
"Master!"
Si Yuanbai had a smile in his eyes and said softly:
"That Deng Qiuzhi came to my Green Spike Peak to apologize to you personally, but he made a wasted trip, hearing that you went home to see your father."
Thinking of Li Mutian, Si Yuanbai's expression was a bit strange, and he looked down at Li Chijing.
Who knew that Li Chijing lowered his head and knelt down with a thud.
"Please forgive this disciple, Master! This disciple deceived Senior Sister and Senior Brother, but there was another important matter when returning to Moon-Watching Lake!"
Si Yuanbai's expression changed, he hurriedly helped Li Chijing up and said sternly:
"How can it be? Speak quickly."
Li Chijing lowered his head and said with some hesitation:
"Jie'er received a letter from home last year. The family found a predecessor's cave. After much effort, they broke the formation, but found the cave cleaned cleanly, leaving only a cyan jade bottle."
"The family looked at the cyan jade bottle, and it contained a strand of heaven and earth spiritual energy, white as frost, flowing like water."
Si Yuanbai frowned and said sternly:
"White as frost, flowing like water?"
"Snow frost energy? Pine Forest North Wind? No... it can't be..."
Si Yuanbai shook his head, suddenly opened his eyes wide, and blurted out:
"Supreme Yin Moon Splendor?!"
Li Chijing nodded heavily and said sternly:
"This disciple checked the Scripture Pavilion for a long time and felt it was incredible, so I found an excuse to go home to check, and it really was that Supreme Yin Moon Splendor!"
"Take it out and let me see!"
Li Chijing hurriedly offered the slender cyan jade bottle. Si Yuanbai took it and nodded, saying sternly:
"This cyan jade bottle is indeed a style from a hundred years ago."
After feeling it for a while with his eyes closed, Si Yuanbai suddenly opened his eyes and said happily:
"It really is Supreme Yin Moon Splendor! You did a good job on this matter."
Si Yuanbai compared it carefully for a while, looked down at Li Chijing, and said softly:
"This Supreme Yin Moon Splendor is extremely precious. You must think about how to deal with it."
"Everything is up to Master!"
Li Chijing cupped his hands respectfully and replied.
"You child has too many thoughts."
Si Yuanbai laughed, touched Li Chijing's head, and said sternly:
"Your cultivation has reached the peak of Embryonic Breath. If you want to practice that 'Moon Lake Reflecting Autumn Technique', this Supreme Yin Moon Splendor must not be reported to the sect. Only Senior Sister can borrow the technique, and I will go and request the quota of Lake Jin Qiu, practice the technique first, make the raw rice into cooked rice, and then report it to the sect."
"Once the news leaks, even if the few ancestors in the sect don't take action for the sake of face, the group of people at Moon Lake Peak will try their best to obtain this Supreme Yin Moon Splendor from your hands."
"The Mount Qingchi Sect has broken this inheritance for three hundred years, and they have waited too long..."
Hearing Si Yuanbai's words, Li Chijing was also full of guilt, responding yes in his mouth, but his heart was complex.
Li Xiangping and Li Chijing were both suspicious and ambitious. Li Chijing had left home since he was a child and was very vigilant about everything around him. Now, looking at Si Yuanbai with a gentle expression in front of him, he was very moved and finally let go of his guard against Green Spike Peak and the fellow disciples.
