Chapter 772: Xuanque Essence
Xia Xia Shouyu knelt on the ground, and the monster general wriggled on the ground, exhausted:
"True Person... True Person spare my life..." Li Li Ximing found him noisy, his heart moved, and this voice was vaguely blocked outside. He smiled:
"Little friend Xia, you chose exactly right. This guy is undoubtedly a female water monster. Does he have any background, any relatives or friends? Don't make too much noise and let the outside world notice."
Xia Xia Shouyu understood the implication, knowing that this old monster wanted to nest and heal. This kind of old monster might have some enemies outside, most likely a great enemy of the righteous path. If something really happened, she would be no better than a bedbug, so she nodded repeatedly and replied:
"True Person! This guy is a monster general at the Cape. He is called King Qiu. This piece of land of ours is too remote. The dragon-affiliated sea herders don't come to this place. There are only a few Foundation Establishment monsters that have come over the years, and they have some friendship with some small monsters in the local area. Even if all the monsters die, it is not certain that anything will happen..."
Li Li Ximing didn't quite believe the words of her, a small Qi Refining cultivator, and thought:
'This little monster has some brains. Although it didn't come here in a mighty way, it brought a group of confidants. If they all died here, there would definitely be many eyes. It is better to have less trouble.'
Xia Xia Shouyu saw him silent, fearing that he would have some thoughts and use her as a vanguard, hoping he would keep a low profile, and whispered:
"This monster is still better. I only heard that going west from here, crossing the sea, you will reach the Peacock Sea in the outer sea. There is a Nine Qiu Mountain in the sea, and there is a great supernatural power on the mountain, with infinite power, who can make the dead speak and the living ascend to immortality. The immortal envoy on that mountain came to the Cape to accept disciples sixty years ago... so it is still concerned."
"Oh?"
Li Li Ximing heard that this was a Early Zifu, and the location was also on the edge of the Cape. It should be the closest one, so he whispered:
"What is his surname? What does he cultivate? What other reputation does he have?"
Xia Xia Shouyu hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Little one doesn't know! I only heard that great supernatural powers often travel between this immortal mountain. That great supernatural power has a gourd. More than ten years ago, the gold talisman reached the sky above the Cape, the gauze light rained, and the gourd was as big as a mountain. It should be him sparring with the great supernatural power."
Li Li Ximing had never heard of any gourd, was vigilant about the direction, waved his hand to let Xia Xia Shouyu stop, looked at the sea worm on the ground, and opened his mouth:
"You monster, you bumped into my hand, which side are you from?"
The monster general mourned:
"Master! I am a person from the Zhu Nan Water Prefecture, True Person! I didn't mean to offend you, just look at the face of the Water Prefecture... spare this little monster's life!"
The monster shouted loudly, had already untied the storage bag at his waist, and poured out a large pile of things with a clatter. It was flashy, poor and small, mostly blood energy, and the degree of shabbiness was breathtaking, not as good as the family background of the Qi Refining direct line of the Jiangnan Immortal Sect.
He tremblingly took out a jade bottle from it and mourned: "This is what I obtained unintentionally, I offer it to the True Person!"
"Haha!"
Li Li Ximing took a look, it was an ancient elixir, and he didn't know if it could still be used. He found it funny. He wanted to listen to the monster's defense and make use of it, but he was too lazy to believe such a clumsy lie. He picked up the lump of meat, slightly loosened the supernatural power, let him turn back into human form, and cursed: "Fabricating! The Zhu Nan Water Prefecture is far south of Zhu Lu, and this place is the Cape of the East Sea. It would take a year or a half to fly from that place to here, and you are talking nonsense to me here!"
Li Li Ximing's own sect, Quandao, was in the Zhu Nan Water Prefecture, and he knew more details than this monster. The feminine man was scared into a cold sweat and said tremblingly:
"Reporting to Master, the little monster was once a subordinate of Yun Shaozi, a high official in the Zhu Nan Water Prefecture, and later went out to break through, and came to the Cape all the way..."
"Enough!"
Li Li Ximing smiled when he heard this, and opened his mouth:
"Call your subordinates down, say you want to study the array carefully, let them disperse first, return to your prefecture to guard, and leave two to guard the island, so that outsiders don't know."
Even if the monster had thousands of turns in his heart and thousands of considerations, knowing that his death was near, he had no choice. Even if he wanted to frown more and open his mouth more in front of his subordinates, with supernatural powers in front, he couldn't even make an extra expression.
He could only whisper to the monsters above. Li Li Ximing used the Immortal Mirror to bless, and with supernatural power supervision, he saw clearly that he couldn't make any waves. A group of monsters didn't suspect anything and left together.
Using the Immortal Mirror to look from afar and see that the group of monsters had nothing unusual, Li Li Ximing returned to the cave, took out a pitch-black alchemy furnace from the storage bag, and it landed with a bang. The patterns were complicated, the furnace body was engraved with waves and fierce beasts, and it was supported by three legs.
【Jiangzhong Furnace】.
In fact, as Li Li Ximing advanced to Early Zifu, it didn't matter whether he had an alchemy furnace or not to refine this elixir, not to mention that 【Jiangzhong Furnace】 was not even a Foundation Establishment magic treasure, but Li Li Ximing was refining a life-saving elixir, so he was particularly cautious.
The monster's face was ashen, and he turned into his original form in a moment. Li Li Ximing picked him up and said casually:
"Still Yun Shaozi? That old Yun Shao has been dead for many years!"
The gap between the Jiangnan Early Zifu and the Cape Foundation Establishment was too great. The monster general thought his most remarkable news was just a joke in front of him. Now seeing the monster's mana surging violently, emitting dots of gray gas, Li Li Ximing couldn't help but click his tongue: 'A good female water, but not raised well, and so much blood food was used to pile up the cultivation.'
After considering for a while, he didn't use the 【Hui Yuan Spirit Water】 he originally chose, but used 【Earth Sha Cold Spring】 instead, and then neutralized it with 【Qing Ming Spirit Flower】 to dissolve the evil spirit of the monster. Many valuable spiritual objects of the Li family were on him, and he gathered them in two steps.
He started refining the elixir, purple fire raging, projecting his back on the stone wall, jumping constantly. Xia Xia Shouyu became more and more uneasy in her heart, her eyelids jumping, and she didn't know how much bad things she had done:
'How long will the old monster refine the elixir... If he buries his head and refines for ten or twenty years, missing the time... I will be trapped to death in this land.'
She knelt in the bright firelight for two days and two nights, and the flames in front of her actually began to shrink. Xia Xia Shouyu was horrified in her heart, and abruptly saw the old monster slap the alchemy furnace and shout:
"Rise!"
Immediately, a burst of fragrance permeated. Xia Xia Shouyu only felt that she had never smelled such a wonderful smell. The full medicine fragrance rushed to her mind, and she felt floating and didn't know where she was, hearing a muffled sound: "Bang!"
The lid of the alchemy furnace jumped up, and seven elixirs flew out from it, each showing a blue and white color, with bright purple patterns drawn on it, and fell into Li Li Ximing's palm one by one, colliding with each other, making a crisp sound like glass.
"Success!"
Li Li Ximing only felt a sudden joy in his heart. Seeing that there were seven elixirs, he couldn't help laughing, flicked his fingers, and all seven elixirs rolled into the jade bottle.
'Unexpected joy!'
You know, the elixir Li Li Ximing is refining now is not an existing elixir recipe, but based on the 【Xuanque Sutra Heart Medicine】, combined with the extremely mysterious 'female water' spiritual elixir method 【Tianyi Tu Cui】 read from Purple Smoke, tailored according to his own injuries! Being able to refine seven elixirs in one breath is enough to prove that his alchemy cultivation has jumped out of the Xiao family orthodoxy and can be called a Early Zifu Alchemist.
"Good... based on the Xuanque refining method, taking Tianyi Tu Cui to form the elixir, let's call it 【Xuanque Essence Elixir】!"
He laughed loudly, scaring Xia Xia Shouyu into kowtowing like pounding garlic, shouting:
"Congratulations to the True Person for the success of the divine medicine! Congratulations to the True Person for further progress!..."
This sounded strange to Li Li Ximing, and he always felt it didn't sound good, so he didn't laugh anymore, didn't look at the woman much, and silently took out an elixir and put it in his hand. The purple patterns on the elixir were still faintly glowing, extremely magnificent.
This elixir was swallowed into the abdomen, and the pure female water power operated. Under Li Li Ximing's guidance, it all surged into the Juque Court. With Juque as the valley, the nourishing power of the female water dispersed instantly, making his Juque Court cool.
The surging gray water immediately rose from the Juque Court, surrounding the art fire. Li Li Ximing took the opportunity to suppress the fire outside his body. The 【Sang Yu Can Jiu Brother Xuan Method】 sensed inside and outside, and the black fire in his body suddenly flourished.
He sat cross-legged, and the art fire that had been burning on his Dharma body for so long finally disappeared completely, all converted back into Juque, and was suppressed by the 【Xuanque Essence Elixir】, unable to spread.
Seeing this scene, Li Li Ximing finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the supernatural light flashed in his slowly opened eyes. He exhaled and smiled: "Finally suppressed!"
This elixir was effective, which meant that Li Li Ximing didn't have to walk with flames all over the sky, and could finally come and go freely. The 【Xuanque Essence Elixir】 was still slowly consuming this flame in the Juque Court. Although it couldn't be suppressed for long, Li Li Ximing still had six left, which could support a year or a half, and he didn't even need to refine subsequent elixirs. This art fire was extinguished with the help of supernatural powers and 【Xuanque Essence Elixir】.
"Boom!"
As the flames left, the cave was empty and pitch black. The black water veins on the ground were still gushing out, making a violent roaring sound, and the spring water on the ground poured back, blue and black intertwined, quite magnificent.
Li Li Ximing picked up Xia Xia Shouyu and pierced out of the cave. The temperature of the lake had dropped, and the green color quickly turned into black, from Lu Water to Fu Water.
The two monsters were still guarding the lake stupidly. Li Li Ximing knew that these two guys guarding here must be catching people to satisfy their hunger on weekdays. He glanced at them, and the two monsters were beheaded. He threw Xia Xia Shouyu to the ground and ordered:
"Collect the things and transport the people on the island away."
Xia Xia Shouyu was a bit puzzled. Since this demon had left the pass, it would be just a matter of opening his mouth to eat all the people and monsters on the island. She could only pack up the two monsters and take them away, respectfully saying: "There are so many barbarians, I can't carry them alone... I still have to go back and invite people to transport them."
Li Li Ximing himself was poor, without even a spirit boat, so he had to wave his sleeves and said:
"Then forget it! Lead the way..."
'Lead the way to where... where else can I go... naturally to my orthodoxy 【Qingxu Temple】...'
Xia Xia Shouyu was uneasy in her heart. She raised her eyebrows and looked, finding that the old monster had grown five senses, the center of his eyebrows was shining with daylight, like an immortal, his appearance was upright, his eyebrows were flat, and a pair of eyes were pale gold, quite intimidating.
What could she say? Since she released this terrifying supernatural power user, is there a second way to go now? She silently led the way, her expression frightened and fearful, unable to hold herself.
Li Li Ximing was refreshed, standing in the wind, never feeling that the sea breeze was so refreshing. He took out a jade bottle from his sleeve, which was the elixir given by the monster.
Li Li Ximing looked at it twice, and his heart gradually settled: "The injury is not healed, I will never return to Jiangnan! This Cape has a lot of ancient meaning, I will stroll around once or twice, and by the way, think of a way to inquire about the family's news."
Li Li Ximing carried the Immortal Mirror. In a place like the Cape, which is uninhabited and some places don't even have Taixu, he can be said to be afraid of no one. If Senior Chang Xiao dares to chase here, facing the Immortal Mirror is just a matter of one round, so he is naturally full of confidence.
As for the medicine in his hand, it didn't count as anything, but the refining method had a lot of ancient meaning, and it seemed to have the meaning of collecting the essence of heaven, earth, sun, and moon. Li Li Ximing saw it clearly, but he was a bit moved:
'The refining method of this thing... I don't know if the Cape has any remnants. If I can get a refining method of collecting moon essence into elixir, that is truly endless, endless resources...'
The refining method of using moon essence as elixir certainly cannot only use moon essence. Li Li Ximing considered himself a Early Zifu Alchemist now. Once a refining method is in his hand, there are too many improvements. On weekdays, he can use moon essence to replace one or two spiritual objects. That is also a big profit.
Xia Xia Shouyu didn't dare to delay time. After flying on the sea for a while, she vaguely saw a peak rising on the sea, with a large area of temples and monasteries located in it. Li Li Ximing raised his eyebrows and looked, and whispered: "Oh? Is it a temple?"
Xia Xia Shouyu only felt a chill rushing to her mind. This person looked like a big demon at first glance, and most likely couldn't see the Buddhist cultivation. Fearing that he would misunderstand, she hurriedly explained urgently:
"Reporting to True Person, the little one's orthodoxy is 【Qingxu Temple】, which once worshipped a great supernatural power 【Xuxiang】, so it is also a temple... it has little to do with the current Buddhism and ancient Buddhism... Master, please observe!"
'Tongxuan Palace Xuxiang!'
Li Li Ximing was no stranger to this name. Su Mian's mysterious orthodoxy was based on the Tongxuan Palace 【Xuxiang】 as the ancestor. He nodded slightly and replied: "So it is the orthodoxy of the Baotu True Monarch, rare to see."
Xia Xia Shouyu clearly didn't expect Li Li Ximing to really recognize 【Xuxiang】, her heart skipped a beat, she remembered "Baotu True Monarch", and saw the demon raise his eyebrows and say:
"You also know ancient Buddhism and current Buddhism?"
Xia Xia Shouyu said respectfully:
"Reporting to True Person, the Cape also has ancient Buddhist orthodoxy, but few current Buddhists stop here. Most of the orthodoxy in the Cape are temples, but they all worship ancient great supernatural powers. There are not many Buddhist cultivators."
Li Li Ximing nodded when he heard this, and there was a different color in his eyes. He didn't know if this group of Buddhist cultivators who plucked geese were disdainful to come or couldn't come, and smiled:
"Current Buddhism is mostly shameless, bullying the soft and fearing the hard. You worship the Immortal Dao True Monarch after all, and I forgive them for not daring to go too far."
He stood in the clouds, looking at the layout below with great interest. Xia Xia Shouyu waited respectfully beside him, seeing the demon smile: "Do you want to go down and prepare first? If I go down from the sky and scare the people in your orthodoxy to faint, it is not a good thing."
I have been busy for the past two days, but fortunately, I updated in time today. The update tomorrow may be late. ===== CHAPTER 773 =====
