Chapter 649: Two People

After Li Zhouwei finished praying, clear light circled in the hall, and white mist swirled within the Chongming Dongxuan Screen. Two points of white light were born in the void, circled once, and planted two white flowers, which hung in the air and formed two lines of golden characters. One flower was:

"Li Jiangqian."

The other was: "Li Shuwan."

Li Zhouwei and the others all thanked him, raised their eyebrows to look, and turned to look at Li Qinghong, only to see that she had a look of shock. The two white flowers drifted down, and she immediately reached out to catch them.

"There are actually two talisman seeds..."

The name Li Jiangqian made the few of them breathe a sigh of relief, but the other name had never been heard of at all. The three of them were stunned, only Li Xuanxuan had a look of recollection.

Li Qinghong's expression was complex, while Li Xuanxuan frowned, having already taken out a jade slip from his storage bag to look at. The old man was nostalgic and often had to think about which family and which lineage had died out, and which lineage had to be determined to make up for it, so he had the roster for every year in his hands.

After a full two breaths, Li Xuanxuan showed some satisfaction and replied:

"So it is my descendant... but it is a bit far away... it is a small sect now."

He laughed, turned the jade slip over, handed it to the two of them, and whispered:

"It couldn't be better!"

Li Qinghong breathed a sigh of relief, took the jade slip to read, found the name Li Shuwan at a glance, went all the way up, and frowned again, reading:

"Li Yesheng... Li Xiewen... Li Pingyi... Hmm? Isn't this the lineage of Uncle Xiewen? Did the eldest uncle read it wrong?"

Mentioning this matter, a trace of pain flashed in Li Xuanxuan's eyes, and he whispered, "This matter... has to be said about your eldest brother!"

Li Qinghong immediately raised her eyebrows and muttered, "Brother Yuanxiu?"

Li Xuanxuan sat down on the side, sorted out his words, and whispered, "Uncle Yesheng didn't have many descendants, mainly Xiewen. The others were not good things. At that time, they opened gambling dens and were involved in lust. Your eldest brother caught them, killed one, burned the hands of the others, and drove them out of the town. The clan also removed their names, so only Xiewen was left..."

"Xiewen had three daughters and one son, only Li Pingyi. He was young and because of..."

Decades passed, and Li Xuanxuan still choked up when talking about this matter, sighing, "Because of the thunder fire of the Yu family, he committed suicide out of shame... so the lineage was broken."

"Xiewen had no sons, and several brothers had committed great crimes and were not in the clan. I remembered his old feelings, and the second son of my seventh grandson was a mortal and had already fallen into a small sect. Since both were small sects, I passed him to him..."

"So that's how it is..."

Li Qinghong was silent for a moment and said softly, "Since a spiritual aperture child has appeared now, let's return to the great sect!"

Li Zhouwei listened quietly on the side, and Li Xuanxuan only said:

"I will go pick her up right away."

Li Qinghong nodded with a smile and said:

"I will go. This matter should not be delayed. Calculating the time... she is only six years old. Don't attract the attention of those with ulterior motives. I will go see her under the cover of night and see what this little girl looks like."

Li Zhouwei responded and replied:

"I will go bring Jiangqian over."

Li Qinghong disappeared from the main hall in an instant. Li Xuanxuan picked up the two white flowers, not daring to hold them in his hands, only using his magic power to hold them in the air, his spiritual sense moving lightly.

This flower had twelve petals, all of which were pure white. The flower core inside was as hazy as light and shadow, flickering, emitting a strong osmanthus fragrance. The old man smelled it and felt refreshed. He looked up and asked:

"Does Minghuang know what this is?"

Li Zhouwei shook his head, felt the extremely abundant Taiyin power in the flower, took out two jade boxes, put them in, and whispered:

"I am afraid it is another extinct spiritual object. When I have a chance, I will go to the dragon kin or the fox clan to look for some jade slips recording ancient spiritual objects and compare them."

There were actually more than these Taiyin treasures in the Li family, including a laurel branch and white flowers that fell when the Immortal Mirror rioted when Yu Muxian came to the lake. They were carefully collected by Li Yuanyuan, but according to the Li family's preservation method, they could not be completely preserved, and they were dissipating year by year.

A small part of these things was used to match Li Wushao's fate, and the rest had long since dissipated over the decades. Li Zhouwei put them away and whispered:

"It seems very difficult to preserve. Perhaps it is another treasure that cannot be exposed. If it cannot be found, or if it is found but is too precious, it is better to use it up. The white ape suffered too many injuries in his early years. Using these two things to match his fate should be able to make up for his foundation."

"Hmm..."

It was not that Li Xuanxuan didn't feel sorry for this old brother, but listening to it, he always felt a bit toothache. He was only afraid that this thing was much more precious than 【Mingfang Heavenly Stone】 in Taiyin lineages like the Pure One Dao.

"Our family uses it to match fate... just like using Taiyin Moon Essence to practice the Profound Scenery Wheel in the beginning..."

The old man couldn't laugh or cry, but he looked at the jade box in his hand over and over again and carefully put it into his arms.

Mount Lijing Prefecture, Lichuankou.

The night wind was slightly cold, the loquat trees in the prefecture hung low, and the rain dripped. Li Baotuo shivered with cold and added two more pieces of clothing. Several children laughed in the courtyard.

"What are you shouting about!"

He buttoned his clothes, pushed the door out, and rubbed his hands. The weather was indeed getting colder day by day, but Li Baotuo's heart was as hot as hot charcoal.

"Heaven bless... generations of mortals, finally a cultivator has appeared..."

Li Baotuo's daughter, Li Shuwan, had condensed a wisp of spiritual power after reading the cultivation method distributed by the clan the day before yesterday, which made Li Baotuo ecstatic.

Li Baotuo's lineage had never produced a cultivator, so they were very far behind in the roster of cultivators coming to check for spiritual apertures. There were too many mortals like his family, and there were even more six-year-old children. It was difficult to check them one by one, so they usually distributed a most ordinary fetal breathing cultivation method for people to take home and try.

Li Baotuo's ancestors had been glorious, and he was not short of this thing. As soon as Li Shuwan reached six years old, he was too lazy to queue up and took the cultivation method to try it himself. After trying it, he was almost dizzy with joy.

"Shuwan!"

Seeing his daughter coming over, his face was full of smiles. The children sat at the table together. He sat down with a posture and said in a deep voice:

"This matter is of great importance. I will go find Clan Uncle Chengchi... and ask him to find a cultivator to take a look at Shuwan! Calculating the time, it will be here soon. Everyone pay attention."

Li Shuwan leaned on the table, her eyes turning to the meatballs in the bowl—this meal was truly rare.

Li Baotuo's ancestors had been glorious, but that was only the ancestors. Today's life was actually extremely shabby. He had a large house, but what could be sold had long been sold by his ancestors. Selling this large house meant it was really gone.

The whole family relied on Li Baotuo and his eldest son to operate several ships on the lake. These businesses could still be done. Occasionally, the Clan Justice Court would come to check, and Li Baotuo naturally had a clear conscience.

"But how can it compare to cultivating immortality?"

To put it bluntly, as long as Li Shuwan's talent was sufficient, the whole family could even move to the lake. The salary distributed was enough for the whole family to live safely and spend the rest of their lives.

"As for Shuwan... after decades of cultivation, when she comes back to see us, I'm afraid we won't recognize her."

That's what the plays said, and Li Baotuo had heard many rumors. Immortals were high and low. He estimated that he wouldn't have much time to see Li Shuwan for the rest of his life. While gratified, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Li Baotuo quickly threw this behind his head and discussed with his sons how to set up the table, how to notify relatives and friends, and how to have a good banquet. Li Shuwan had a spiritual aperture, so those who looked down on them before would all come to give smiles, and several cultivation branches with close relationships would send people over. This was what needed to be pulled together for Li Shuwan.

He waited for a while, his heart becoming more and more anxious, and finally heard a call from outside the courtyard: "Good nephew! I have invited the guest minister!"

Li Baotuo jumped up from the table, and his sons stood up one after another, all following behind him, rushing to the front of the courtyard in a swarm, saying respectfully: "Seen the two elders!"

The leader was Clan Uncle Li Chengchi. Although he was a mortal, his bloodline was extremely precious. Li Baotuo's ancestors had a very deep brotherly relationship with his ancestors, and he had seen him when he was young, so he called out: "Haven't seen Clan Uncle for many years! Little nephew misses you extremely!"

Li Chengchi laughed. He was a person who knew how to drill, and he was Li Ximing's own son. Although he was a mortal, he used this to make friends with many cultivators. He had a good impression of Li Baotuo, so he immediately invited the cultivator over.

He pointed to the old man in brown clothes beside him and smiled: "This is Hu Hu Keqing! A high-level cultivator at the Qi Refining level!"

"Qi Refining!"

Li Baotuo was shocked. He had a good understanding, and such characters were high-ranking in the prefecture peak. Li Chengchi could invite such characters, which made him very excited, and he said respectfully: "Seen the Senior! It's simple here... please forgive me!"

Hu Hu Keqing was very polite to Li Chengchi, but he was not so polite to this branch that had fallen into a small sect for unknown how many years. Seeing Li Chengchi's face, he nodded slightly and said softly:

"Don't be polite."

Li Baotuo didn't feel anything, nodded repeatedly, and welcomed him into the courtyard all the way, just in time for Li Chengchi's meaningful look, and immediately understood:

"This is finding a backer for my Shuwan!"

"But... is this appropriate..."

If Li Baotuo was an ordinary small sect disciple, and he got such a hint, he would have licked his face and welcomed him long ago. But he had some inheritance, and he also had some understanding of the affairs in the prefecture peak. The sixteen prefectures were not a harmonious group.

"This is Mount Lijing Prefecture... the territory of the old four surnames... to vote is to vote under these four surnames. I don't know which prefecture's cultivator this Hu is. If I get involved with him... it's inevitable to offend the four surnames..."

What's more, Li Baotuo knew his own family affairs. He looked like an ordinary small sect, but he was actually passed down from the great sect. If the younger generation was outstanding and excellent, they could even return to the great sect. Then there was no need to fight for it with any sect or system! In his thoughts, his mind passed many things, and he had already pulled the girl over, smiling: "Shuwan! Seen the two Seniors!"

Li Shuwan turned her head to look, and found that the man in brown clothes had six points of light flashing on his body, and a slightly mixed airflow circled around his side, which was slightly different from those who had flown in the sky before, so she couldn't help but look a few more times.

Hu Hu Keqing only glanced at her lightly, nodded and stepped forward, secretly sighing in his heart: "Li Baotuo's ancestors were all mortals. This is the first cultivator to appear in this head. How good can the talent be? Li Chengchi wants me to give some pointers... It's really troublesome."

He held his posture, swept his eyes around the table, and found that there was nothing he could eat, and said softly: "Tea is fine."

The full table of food carefully prepared by Li Baotuo was done in vain. He welcomed him into the inner hall with sweat on his forehead and sat down. Li Chengchi talked for a few sentences at first, Hu Hu Keqing still had some responses, but as soon as Li Baotuo opened his mouth, the man in brown lowered his head and said nothing.

Now even a fool could see Hu Hu Keqing's resistance. The food in the hall gradually cooled, and his wife stood at the end of the hall helplessly. Li Baotuo was a mortal after all. What could he talk about with a cultivator? He couldn't speak in embarrassment.

Although Li Shuwan was only six years old, she saw it in her eyes and felt sad in her heart, whispering:

"Daughter is going down."

Li Baotuo let out a breath and was about to stop her, but Li Chengchi smiled and let her go. After Li Shuwan left, Hu Hu Keqing saw Li Chengchi's dissatisfaction and asked casually:

"I don't know how much time it took for your daughter to condense the first wisp of spiritual energy?"

Li Baotuo felt his embarrassment slightly relieved and whispered:

"It seems to be an hour."

Hu Hu Keqing was stunned. Seeing Li Baotuo's blank face, a piece of shock rose in his heart: "What?"

Several people chatted in the hall. Li Shuwan just wandered to the back courtyard. Several loquat trees stood in the desolate courtyard. She walked, thinking of her parents' helpless appearance, and couldn't help but wipe her tears.

"This guy..."

She walked two steps and bumped into a person standing in the courtyard, startled.

"Ah..."

Li Shuwan was startled for a moment, and was immediately attracted by the woman in front of her, her eyes fixed on her, unable to move half a step.

The woman was wearing a long feather coat, her black hair was coiled up, a small white flower was pinned to her hair, the skirt with green patterns jumped with dots of purple light, and her eyes were hazy with purple, looking at her with a smile.

"You..."

Li Shuwan was stunned for a while and couldn't speak. This woman touched her face very naturally and laughed. Her voice was very clear, crisp and pleasant:

"Li Shuwan?"

"Yes..."

Li Shuwan's hands were nervously behind her back. She knew that this must be a cultivator, so she didn't dare to move around. She secretly glanced, but found that there were no six points of light on her body, only a piece of purple like water waves.

Just watching the immortal-like woman nod, her purple eyes looked at the courtyard gate behind her, her tone slightly cold:

"This Hu Jingye... really played a good game of chess. Seeing your extraordinary talent, he immediately threatened and lured you... wanting to set your marriage with his young son..."

It was strange to say that this woman just stopped smiling, and her speech carried a bit of coldness. The temperament of her whole body was completely different. A majesty that made people awe-inspiring appeared on her face. There seemed to be thunder rolling in the clouds.

Li Shuwan raised her head, only feeling that the clouds in the sky were vaguely purple, and hurriedly whispered:

"But I heard my father say that this person is very powerful... he is a big figure in the prefecture peak..."

This woman was stunned by what she said, and the coldness on her face disappeared immediately. She had a pair of apricot eyes, like spring breeze thawing, and laughed very clearly, laughing at herself: "What a big figure!"
