Chapter 736

~8 min read 1,454 words

The spring rain was continuous, drifting down. Several disciples in the temple were busy stepping on the wind to collect Qi, driving the light like swimming fish shuttling through the spring rain, the light green brilliance in their hands constantly collecting, gathering into streams of airflow.

The middle-aged layman had a slightly square face, simple clothing, carrying his robe, and walking on the stone steps in wooden clogs. His movements were like an ordinary person without cultivation. When he arrived in front of the courtyard, he pushed the door and invited, smiling: "Zhaojing, please come in!"

A True Person in a white robe with golden patterns entered from the door. His appearance was upright, and although he looked very young and his eyes had no fierce color, he scanned plainly, but made the disciples on the left and right lower their heads at the same time.

Li Ximing followed him across the steps and replied:

"Spring rain is rare. I see that the disciples in your temple are all collecting Qi. It seems that they are looking forward to this day every year. No wonder I didn't see Qiuxin."

Sumian only greeted him with a smile and said:

"Qiuxin has gone out long ago. After all, the East Sea matter is really troublesome, and he has to sit in town at all times. The spring rain is collected every year, but it is never enough. Sometimes I have to use my supernatural powers to refine it myself."

He laughed and continued: "Your clan has many cultivators. If you are interested, can you help me collect some on the lake?"

"The old thing is really plucking feathers from a wild goose."

Li Ximing smiled: "Easy to say, as long as I see the Qi collection formula, my family's cultivators can also collect Qi and come to your temple to exchange for some spirit objects."

"I will send it to your clan later."

Sumian was actually fearless and not afraid of the Qi collection formula leaking at all. Li Ximing was not afraid of him either. His Li family lacked everything, but had many cultivators, and many were idle, so it was good to do some small business.

After Li Ximing finished speaking, he sighed secretly and said again: "It's only been a few days, and the formation has been built on Senior Changxi's mountain! The old True Person is really quick... It seems that this spirit mountain is quite useful!"

Sumian smiled without saying a word. They arrived in the courtyard together and saw a woman in a yellow satin skirt sitting and sipping tea, with green dots on the corners of her eyes. It was the Tinglan True Person of Ziyan. Li Ximing was not surprised, greeted her, and sat down straight.

Li Ximing had received Sumian's message early in the morning, saying that he wanted to discuss the Xuanyue mountain gate matter, so he knew that there must be more than one person in this Mysterious View, and Tinglan or Senior Ling Mei must be there, not to mention Yehui himself.

After taking the cup, Li Ximing did not go around in circles with him and asked: "Sumian, what do you say?"

Sumian nodded and smiled, replying:

"This matter should have been handled long ago, but it was dragged on for a few months to save some face for Xuanyue. Now that Tinglan has come to visit and mentioned this matter to me, I invited you here."

Li Ximing smiled: "Then has Yehui come?"

Sumian hesitated slightly, and Tinglan took over the conversation and replied:

"He came once, clarified the conditions, and invited you here."

She looked at him more and said softly: "It is better to resolve grievances than to tie them. Everyone is Zifu. The cultivators underneath play with some good or bad toys. If you look at them, you have some thoughts. It's nothing more than wanting to take care of your own face. Why do you really have to form any hatred... You can play chess, you don't have to move real fire."

Regardless of whether the Li family and the Du Immortal Dao really formed a hatred, Tinglan was helping her solve this matter. It might be that she presided over it from beginning to end. Li Ximing naturally understood her good intentions. He still had to give face to this Ziyan True Person, so he said solemnly:

"Tinglan is right. I have played against Senior Yehui once or twice, and played a game in Jiangnan and Jiangbei. Originally, it didn't reach the point of forming a hatred. This matter is easy to handle."

Sumian's face was obviously not as big as Tinglan's, but the old True Person didn't care at all. As long as he could persuade these two guys who kept having friction, so as not to drag himself into the water, it was a success for Sumian. The old True Person asked: "I heard that you went to investigate, did you find anything?"

Li Ximing nodded and said:

"I asked a True Person to calculate it. The guest Fu En in the sect died early, the one who died early was Kong Haiying, and the soul lamp was tampered with by Senior Changxi, so it was actually not his long ago. As for Kong Tingyun... I don't know where she broke through."

Hearing that he asked a True Person to calculate it, Sumian couldn't help but sip tea, but Tinglan smiled:

"That's easy to handle. I have a good friend who cultivates in the Shiqi area, called Zhu Gong, who has the intention to station here. In this way, the matter is solved."

Sumian raised his eyebrows and asked: "Tinglan, your friend took this place, aren't you afraid that Kong Tingyun will break through successfully and come to seek revenge?"

"Listen to me."

Tinglan blinked. This True Person from Qi had a different upright beauty from Jiangnan and smiled: "I will clarify it with Yehui. Zhaojing is willing to give up Xuanyue and allow him to enter the mountain gate to investigate himself. But after he searches and grabs, he can move as many mountains as he wants, but the mountain gate must be returned to me."

"When Yehui brings people to attack the mountain, Zhaojing will resist a few times, collect the 【Hundred Mountains Hidden Spirit Array】, pretend to be injured and retreat, let the mountain gate to him, and leave spirit objects, wait for Yehui to finish collecting and investigating, and then I will let my friend come to seize the mountain and let Yehui give it up."

She stretched out her hand and pressed her fingers one by one:

"You Wangyue, obtained the formation, Xuanyue Dao path, and hearts, isn't it better than guarding that piece of land and waiting for the people around to covet and envy? Even if one in ten thousand people breaks through successfully, Zhaojing has an explanation everywhere... and there must be kindness!"

"He Du Immortal, took spirit objects and cultivation techniques, and moved away the mountains he wanted, solved his heart's enemies, although he didn't get Shanjie and Xuanyue, it's enough to give him face! As for where to find Kong Tingyun, that's his business. Since it has reached this point, are you still afraid of offending Xuanyue?"

She sipped tea slowly and said solemnly:

"And for Yehui... what is good about Xuanyue is the mountains and spirit lands in the mountain gate, not the geographical location itself. If he really eats this place, controlling a vast territory across a river, not to mention the head and tail, it is not necessarily a good thing to be too high-profile."

He did not dare to let him calculate An Siwei, who was currently the most important, so he picked one with the least connection and said:

"Leaving me and Qi old True Person... and you don't have to worry about your affairs."

After she finished speaking, she happened to finish drinking a cup of tea and finished the full game of chess. Every Zifu got meat. The courtyard was silent for a while. Sumian was a bit stunned and sighed: "I heard early on that the righteous path is good at chess, and the Zifu in the sea avoid danger and gain profit invisibly... It is indeed so! The True Person's hand, really makes the old man admire!"

Sumian started to flatter, but Tinglan shook her head, revealing some complex lingering fear, and smiled:

"Old True Person is too praised. I have just watched more Zifu games in the past few years. Don't talk about comparing with Chuting Qiushui and Yuanxiu Senior Chang Xiao... even compared to the means of Tianyuan Chiwei... they are all small tricks!"
