Chapter 685

Li Li Ximing paused slightly, covered the jade box with his hand, knocked lightly, looked at the old man in front of him, and said sincerely: "Since the relationship between the two families is like this, please reveal a little bit about how many backhands the old senior has left."

Li Li Ximing certainly did not believe that Chang Xi had come to beg temporarily:

'His lifespan is approaching, he must have arranged his affairs decades ago, and now he must have something to rely on... And in his original plan, there must be no Li Li Ximing...'

Since Profound Heaven wanted the Li clan to help, Li Li Ximing could not ignore the friendship of the predecessors, but things must be asked clearly. Just saying this, Chang Xi immediately became serious and sighed: "It is good to let Can Can Zhaojing know, my Profound Heaven... moved from north of the Yangtze River, is not the Green Pine Daoist lineage, nor is it the Immortal Prefecture's old subordinate, so it has been discriminated against in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time. These few hundred years... I have only relied on my old face to support it. If I really want to say who can be cited as aid, there are not many..."

"Now that my lifespan is running out, there are even fewer who can help. I have made friends for nearly a hundred years, and have gained help from two parties."

"The first... is the Early Zifu sect east of the Chengyun Gate, east of the Yangtze River, called 【Brother Xuan Miao Temple】, and the one sitting in the town is True Person Qi, with the Daoist name 【Su Mian】."

Li Li Ximing knew this sect. In the ten years since the return from overseas north of the Yangtze River, two Early Zifu have appeared. One sect is the 【Bai Ye Capital Immortal Dao】, and the other is 【Brother Xuan Miao Temple】.

Seeing that he knew this immortal temple, Chang Xi continued: "The second is a mountain overseas, called Lin Jingyi Mountain, and the mountain master is True Person Xuanyi... My direct descendant is an apprentice under his sect."

"The rest of the layout is two or three pieces, so I won't say much, for fear of being laughed at. I will find a day to introduce Can Can Zhaojing to meet..."

Chang Xi and he did not have any familiar friendship, so naturally he would not reveal his trump cards clearly. Li Li Ximing knew the general idea, but he did not dare to meet casually. Who knew what kind of path 【Brother Xuan Miao Temple】 and 【Lin Jingyi Mountain】 were? 【Brother Xuan Miao Temple】 was beside 【Chengyun Gate】, could there be friction? If other Early Zifu misunderstood, I am afraid he would be inexplicably cast into a certain faction.

He replied:

"This junior still has to visit the families one by one to return the gifts, so I am not in a hurry to meet."

Chang Xi stroked his beard:

"It was my lack of consideration!"

Li Li Ximing talked to this point, hesitated again and again, the middle-grade Earth spiritual weapon remained warm in his hand, and finally asked:

"I heard that the senior had a close relationship with Situ Tong... Is there such a thing?"

The Li family's history was short, but the news was well-informed. The Kong family and the Situ family were in-laws in the early years, almost the same relationship as the Xiao and Li families. The Situ family was the Tangjin Gate, and now it was a sea of blood and deep hatred with the Li clan. How could Li Li Ximing not pay attention...

Now Situ Ku was still being held under the Green Du Mountain. Next, he was going to target the Tangjin Gate. If he pulled out a piece of the Kong family, and he promised to protect the Kong family, wouldn't he make himself a person who was not a person inside or outside...

He asked this, and Chang Xi was speechless. Seeing his expression, he said in a low voice: "I am not afraid of Can Can Zhaojing laughing at me. In the early years, our family and the Situ family were indeed friends. Although Situ Tong was arrogant, he was refreshing and generous to those close to him. He was quite disdainful of the sects in the south of the Yangtze River, and was also isolated outside the Seven Gates. I visited in all directions, but only he was willing to see me. At that time, I had a friendship with him and even set up an in-law relationship."

"But he was arrogant after all, and offended countless Early Zifu. Once he died, I gradually did not dare to associate with Tangjin. The internal strife in the Tangjin Gate was great. His several sons had high talent and successively had two Early Zifu. Although they were enthusiastic on the surface, they looked down on this old man in their bones, so the friendship gradually broke."

He understood the hatred between the Li family and the Tangjin Gate, and had no intention of making peace. He only cleared his relationship, and even reminded him in a low voice: "Everyone knows that Situ Mo has the shadow of the Golden Feather behind him. Can Can Zhaojing should still pay attention... The Golden Feather Sect has been governed for three generations, and its strength is already the best in the Yue State, and there are more than these few Early Zifu cultivators... Be careful."

Chang Xi did not want Li Li Ximing to go to trouble the Tangjin Gate at all. His own Profound Heaven was already a difficult thing that made him unable to take care of himself. If the Li family collapsed, Profound Heaven would have no good end.

"Many thanks to the old True Person for the reminder!"

Li Li Ximing responded solemnly, pondered for a while, and the middle-grade Earth spiritual weapon 【Tiger Rushing Through Mountains and Seas】 remained on the table. Li Li Ximing pushed it and said in a deep voice:

"Senior Chang Xi, there is no need to say more about the friendship between the two families. Profound Heaven is in trouble, and the Li clan will definitely help. 【Tiger Rushing Through Mountains and Seas】 is really too precious, so it shouldn't be in my hands like this."

Chang Xi stroked his beard, slightly surprised, and asked: "What does Can Can Zhaojing mean..."

Li Li Ximing thought for a moment and said: "The two families support each other, and they are on the same path. 【Tiger Rushing Through Mountains and Seas】 is a middle-grade Early Zifu spiritual weapon. Senior, keep it in your hand and ponder it well, and see if you can exchange it for greater help from other forces, which can also relieve the pressure later... There is no need to use it to move me..."

"If Senior's lifespan is approaching and there is really no other way, then hand 【Tiger Rushing Through Mountains and Seas】 to me... so that I can add some foundation, and it will be easier to deal with the pressure from all sides."

True Person Chang Xi was stunned this time. He seemed not to have thought that Li Li Ximing would say such a thing. He paused for a full few breaths before saying hoarsely: "Kong Tingyun persuaded me a lot in those years and said some bad things. I am really sorry to Can Can Zhaojing."

Li Li Ximing knew that he was referring to Kong Kong Tingyun's reminder to Li Li Qinghong to leave the Bright Square Heavenly Stone to Li Li Zhouwei. He shook his head and said: "Can Can Zhaojing is not unable to see the big picture. It is precisely because of these reminders that I understand Kong Tingyun's painstaking efforts. Not to mention the help year after year, when my brother had an accident in the East Sea, it was Kong Tingyun who covered it up for him. I remember all these things."

Years ago, Li Li Xizhi broke into the Dragon clan's land in the East Sea by mistake, and found Kong Kong Tingyun to pull a name to resolve Chi Chi Zhiyun's murderous intent. Although he pulled Chang Xi's banner, in fact, only Kong Kong Tingyun treated the Li family sincerely from beginning to end.

After he said this, True Person Chang Xi understood that Kong Kong Tingyun's face was big. He sighed and replied:

"Can Can Zhaojing... the Li family's way of doing things is really..."

Li Li Ximing could not listen to these words, and was even more afraid that the Early Zifu would put a righteous hat on him to use the Li clan, so he hurriedly stopped his words and smiled:

"It is still the senior's painstaking efforts to prepare multiple backhands, so the Li clan dares to help. If the situation is too bad, to the point of being destroyed overnight, endangering my own foundation, Li Ximing will not dare to respond."

Chang Xi nodded silently. But if it weren't for the previous reputation, he wouldn't dare to take out the spiritual weapon. If it were some East Sea Early Zifu, they would have responded politely, taken the spiritual weapon into their hands first, and then walked away after he died.

True Person Chang Xi's expression gradually became solemn. He shook his sleeves, and a yellow light was released from his cuffs, covering his side. At this moment, his tone returned to the original appearance, no longer using fellow Daoist to lift him up, and said in a low voice: "Little friend Can Can Zhaojing, to tell you the truth... there are three Foundation Establishment peaks in my sect who are in seclusion."

"Three?"

Li Li Ximing suddenly realized. Chang Xi's face had already turned into an aged appearance, with white hair, and he whispered:

"The first is my great-grandson Kong Kong Haiying. He was secretly hidden in the sect since he was a child and cultivated in secret. He was much earlier than Kong Tingyun and obtained a Early Zifu spiritual object 【You Guan Precious Earth】 to go into seclusion. Although it is not very compatible with 'Foolish Rushing Through Mountains', it is much better than ordinary people. He has been in seclusion for more than forty years, which is really too long, otherwise he should have come out before my lifespan ran out."

"The second is my guest Fu En. There were rumors that he died overseas years ago, but he has actually been in seclusion in secret, and it has been more than twenty years now. The probability of his breakthrough is not high, just a reluctant attempt."

"The third is Kong Tingyun... She has been in seclusion for fifteen or sixteen years. Her talent is not high. She was originally a casual piece, although her heart is good, her understanding of the Dao is very shallow. She is the one with the lowest possibility among the several, but I didn't expect her to get an opportunity in the cave heaven, and the possibility of breakthrough is actually higher than Fu En's."

People say that a cunning rabbit has three burrows. Chang Xi obviously made many preparations. Li Li Ximing thought about it now, and there were very few Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivators in Profound Heaven. It turned out that Chang Xi urged them to break through year after year...

Li Li Ximing considered it slightly, and his heart was relieved a lot. If Kong Kong Haiying could succeed, then the Li family's help in the snow would be perfect. He suddenly realized and smiled secretly in his heart: "It's really an old fox... Revealing the news is probably not driven by being moved! If I don't agree, he will also tell me about Kong Kong Haiying... to make me move."

He responded solemnly, and Chang Xi thanked him several times. Li Li Ximing suddenly moved his ears and said apologetically:

"Old Senior, the families have already arrived at Dense Forest Mountain, I am afraid it is not suitable to let them wait too long."

The two rode the wind and rose, discussing carefully while heading towards Dense Forest Mountain.

"Purple Smoke Immortal Gate! Kong Kong Yuzi arrives!"

Li Li Jiangqian's gaze wandered in the seats for a while. Si Sima Tongyi beside him had already raised his head, and then he saw a woman in yellow feathered clothes landing in the seats. Before he could look closely, he heard the singing of names again:

"Tu Jun Immortal Gate, Gao Gao Xuanzi arrives!"

This Daoist name made Si Sima Tongyi narrow his eyes slightly. Everyone felt refreshed and looked up together, and then saw the white snow in the long sky, the bright frost condensing, and a young man appeared in the seat of the Tu Jun Gate.

This young man was dressed in a dark blue pleated robe, painted with bright frost patterns, and wore a thick brocade robe outside. Sword tassels were faintly visible between the robes, and a circle of fine white velvet as white as snow surrounded the collar, setting off the smooth lines of his chin.

His lips were slightly pursed, his skin was slightly pale, his eyebrows were sharp, and his pupils were grayer than the Li family's. That pair of pupils had an unusual demonic feeling, and with a slight blink, they quickly covered up into a smile.

"Hmm..."

Li Li Zhouwei sipped his tea, his golden pupils moved, and the whole garden was bustling with noise, as if everyone was focused on talking and laughing, but everyone was paying attention to this Gao Gao Xuanzi.

'Never seen this person before...'

'The Tu Jun Gate has such a character among its direct descendants?'

'Seems to be a sword cultivator too...'

Gao Gao Xuanzi sat down in the seats. The Tu Jun Gate only sent him alone. Dozens of seats were empty, and he sat in the middle alone, appearing particularly different among the many sects.

He didn't care, just rubbed the jade cup, seemingly feeling the touch of the real object. His gaze looked forward, right at Li Li Zhouwei who was looking from afar.

Both were young in appearance, one with golden eyes and solemnity, white gold armor, majestic and dignified, the other with gray eyes and snow skin, plain velvet robe, calm as snow, and they looked at each other in the air.

Li Li Zhouwei tightened his jade cup. After all, the other party was a direct descendant of the Tu Jun Gate, so he rarely returned a smile. Gao Gao Xuanzi also smiled, his gaze appreciative.

"True Person Can Can Zhaojing... arrives..."

As the Three Sects and Seven Gates all arrived, Li Li Ximing finally revealed his figure in the middle. The Early Zifu True Persons all raised their cups to indicate, the direct descendants bowed and saluted, and the loose cultivators and clan cultivators in the lowest seats worshipped together, a patch of black heads.

"Congratulations to the True Person for attaining the divine ability!"

The sound shook the clouds and shattered the floating clouds. The colorful clouds in the sky rose and annihilated. Li Li Ximing returned the salute and thanked them. The music in the garden played loudly, and the spiritual banquet began.

Chang Xi had returned to the Profound Heaven seats. Li Li Ximing scanned roughly. Tian Que of the Golden Feather Sect was a hasty temper, bringing the female cultivator Zhang Zhang Duanyan beside him to step forward, holding a blue stone box.

The Golden Feather Immortal Sect was now the hegemon of the Yue State. Li Li Ximing stood up to welcome him, performed a junior salute, and Zhang Zhang Duanyan said respectfully: "Golden Feather presents 【Six-Horned Red Flame Lamp】 to congratulate the True Person!"

The stone box in her hand should be the 【Six-Horned Red Flame Lamp】. Li Li Minggong saluted and took it, and Tian Que smiled:

"Can Can Zhaojing, you are a refiner after all. If you have any requirements for spiritual medicine in the future, be sure to come to me. My Golden Feather is rich in products, and I will definitely satisfy the fellow Daoist."

Li Li Ximing naturally responded politely, and Tian Que said: "My Golden Feather has two Bright Yang spiritual weapons. If you need them, please send someone over, so as to save you from refining them."

"This junior will remember it."

Li Li Ximing responded cautiously, and Tian Que said goodbye and left. Just after he left, Heng Li, dressed in a Li Fire Daoist robe, stepped into the air. Bi Bi Yuzhuang, who sent the jade bottle over, smiled: "Heng Zhu congratulates the True Person, and presents a portion of 【Pure Feather Li Fire】!"

Li Li Ximing was slightly embarrassed. After all, it was well known that Tian Que and Heng Li were at odds. When these two collided, the smell of gunpowder was very strong.

Heng Li's voice was rough:

"Fellow Daoist Can Can Zhaojing, there is no need to say more between our two families. My family also studies Bright Yang weapon methods. If you need them, I will naturally create magic weapons for you!"

'This is putting me on the fire to roast...'

Li Li Ximing shook his head in his heart. Tian Que's words earlier were deliberately loud, not to mention Heng Li, eight or nine out of ten people in the field heard it, and then he said such targeted words...

Heng Li spoke warmly and was quite generous, but he was also a ruthless character who would be stubborn to the end after offending him. Li Li Ximing smoothed things over. Heng Li obviously didn't want to stay here for long, and left quickly.

These two left, and the rest were easy to deal with. Chang Xi had chatted in detail earlier. The Sword Gate, Wu Kui, and Purple Smoke all sent Foundation Establishment cultivators. The Purple Smoke Immortal Gate arrived first.

"Purple Smoke Immortal Gate presents the congratulatory gift 【Que Flame Elixir Book】 to congratulate the True Person!"

Li Li Ximing nodded slightly and raised his cup. The female cultivator of the Purple Smoke Gate, Kong Kong Yuzi, poured wine for her master, avoided the front, and returned the salute from the side.

Kong Kong Yuzi hurriedly retreated. Li Li Ximing then had time to pay attention to the Tu Jun Gate. Seeing the young man who was mostly cultivating cold Qi, he felt it was reasonable: "Tu Tu Longjian is cultivating Mu Fire, but Tu Jun is the cold Qi Lesser Yin lineage... It's not surprising... It's just that the young master has a good posture..."

Gao Gao Xuanzi was smiling, looking at the seats on the side. Li Li Ximing followed his gaze, but it was Li Li Xuanxuan who was surrounded by the crowd, the music was noisy, the old man laughed loudly, and returned cup after cup of wine. He hadn't been so free for a hundred years.

Li Li Ximing couldn't help but smile, stepped out, and appeared in the empty seats. Gao Gao Xuanzi hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands, his pupils containing an inexplicable meaning, his voice respectful and smiling: "I have seen True Person Can Can Zhaojing!"

Happy Lantern Festival, everyone~ Families reunite and share the festival~
