Chapter 787

Chi Chi Buzi waited for a few breaths, and the Jiang of the Dang River finally stepped forward and bowed:

"Reporting to the Immortal General... This person was personally selected by the Venerable One back then, who allowed him to ascend to the heavens to seek the Dao. Now... having achieved initial success in his immortal merits, he has come specifically to pay his respects. He only hopes for a word of guidance from the Immortal General, so that he may have a hope of reaching the Jin Dan realm." He knelt honestly, tugging at Chi Chi Buzi with both hands to signal him to offer the token. Although Chi Chi Buzi was a noble Great Cultivator of the Early Zifu, he knelt as soon as he was told, his expression extremely natural, as he said respectfully: "This humble cultivator has successively sacrificed two demons to exchange for immortal merits to serve as resources for the Dao, all of which are contained within this token. I only ask for the Lord's guidance."

Immediately, a Heavenly Soldier descended from the platform, took the token from Chi Chi Buzi's hand, and delivered it all the way to Lu Lu Jiangxian, who had transformed into the Lord Lord Zhengao, reporting:

"My Lord, there are six hundred and forty-one immortal merits in the token."

The Lord Lord Zhengao nodded slightly, glanced at the two, and replied:

"Go and seek the Leap Position."

Dang Jiang could no longer understand these words, and Chi Chi Buzi also hesitated. His Mount Qingchi Liushui lineage was powerful enough to suppress all cultivators, but precisely because this lineage originated from Liushui, Chi Chi Buzi had surprisingly little understanding of the Jin Dan realm. Although he had tried his best to collect information over the years and had made many gains, he was a shrewd person; how could he not take this opportunity to ask a few more questions? He immediately bowed and said:

"Reporting to the Lord... This humble cultivator's lineage is crude, and my attainments are shallow; I am completely in the dark regarding matters of the Jin Dan realm... I only received the mercy of the Immortal Lord in the Anhuai Heaven, who granted this humble cultivator's hope. The Lord's words are profound, so I beg for an explanation..."

Lu Lu Jiangxian smiled inwardly upon hearing this.

"He is actually using me to back himself up!"

He had read a vast amount of classics and possessed the Immortal Formula as a guide; whether through empirical evidence or deduction, he understood far more about Jin Dan matters than Chi Chi Buzi, and in fact, he was quite confident.

These things were marvelous secrets that could not be easily passed on. Chi Chi Buzi would not release the hawk until he saw the rabbit, and Lu Lu Jiangxian also intended to continue using him, so he was not stingy and said softly: "In your current situation, you cannot get rid of that True Lord of Liushui, and you have no hope of attaining the fruit position; you know this yourself... Yet you are a descendant of his lineage, and he is watching you closely; he doesn't even want you to attain the Surplus Position. If you try to go head-to-head with him on the path of Liushui, it is no different from seeking your own destruction. There is only the Leap Position left to take."

Chi Chi Buzi's breathing suddenly became heavy, and he said in a low voice: "This humble cultivator dares to ask the Lord... which Leap Position should I seek?"

For ordinary cultivators, the Surplus Position and the Leap Position were things completely ethereal and unheard of. Even for the direct descendants of the Early Zifu, they only knew of these things. Even the three sects and seven gates, with their dignified Jin Dan lineages, did not have a single cultivation method or classic that could clearly seek the Surplus Position and the Leap Position...

No matter how many things he had seen before, Chi Chi Buzi could always grasp the key to the problem. The answer to this question was as heavy as Taishan to the entire world, and its value was unimaginably high.

The Lord Lord Zhengao, however, acted as if he had heard a simple question, shook his head and said: "That depends on your divine abilities. Liushui and Mother Pin Shui have a leap. Among the five divine abilities, 'Dongquan Sound', 'Ru Ru Zhongzhuo', and 'Chougui Cang' are all leaps of Mother Pin Shui. Yet you went and cultivated 'Qingxi Rain', which makes things troublesome."

How fast was Chi Chi Buzi's reaction? After this unhurried sentence, his complexion changed several times in succession.

'Liushui and Mother Pin Shui have a leap.'

What did this express? — He, Chi Chi Buzi, could rely on this to seek the Leap Position of Mother Pin Shui!

The complexion that had remained unchanged even when Taishan collapsed before him finally shattered. A shock of sudden realization appeared in his eyes, with doubt and enlightenment intertwining repeatedly.

Relying on his own attainments and the ancient books he had collected, Chi Chi Buzi had actually long had ideas about Mother Pin Shui and Fushui. Back then, he had also guessed that Immortal Yingze was a Fushui True Lord and had taken a risk to show his loyalty...

And now that he knew there was a divine ability called the Leap of Mother Pin Shui, most of the fog in his mind was cleared. But simply knowing that Liushui and Mother Pin Shui had a leap was not the key to the matter... The key was which immortal foundation should be used to supplement it? And what method should be found to seek gold?

Too many thoughts popped into his mind at once, but he still judged based on his own attainments, suppressed his excitement, and replied: "In the past, the seniors in the lineage only sought the Surplus Position of Liushui and never had the extravagant hope of a Leap Position. By my generation, I have already recognized the True Lord's intention and thought about plotting for a Leap Position in my heart... but I never expected that 'Qingxi Rain' would ruin the big event..."

The Lord Lord Zhengao had already picked up the jade slip and was reading it to himself, responding: "If you had not cultivated this 'Qingxi Rain', the affinity of this Mother Pin Shui path would be quite marvelous. But having cultivated this divine ability, 'Qingxi Rain' is a late-coming rain, which is the correct fruit of Liushui, and thus it does not match Mother Pin Shui."

Chi Chi Buzi finally understood. The Chi family already had 'Ru Ru Zhongzhuo' and 'Dongquan Sound', and only the Mount Qingchi 'Qingxi Rain' was in the sect's inventory. Being suspicious by nature, he immediately blamed Liushui and said in a low voice:

"Now... I beg the Lord to point out the way!"

The Lord Lord Zhengao rubbed the token in his hand, and the luster on it immediately dimmed. Dang Jiang felt heartache, but Chi Chi Buzi didn't care at all and waited respectfully below, seeing the Lord Lord Zhengao say: "There is a 'Morning Cold Rain' in Fushui. Do you know of it?"

Chi Chi Buzi naturally knew. Without thinking, he immediately said:

"This humble cultivator has heard of it. Fushui's 'Morning Cold Rain' is often seen in the East Sea, and many of the offspring of Liushui demon creatures possess this path..."

The Lord Lord Zhengao said softly: "If you want to attain a divine ability, you should cultivate this path."

Chi Chi Buzi was slightly stunned, feeling quite uneasy in his heart.

After all, if a Early Zifu cultivator attained the wrong divine ability, they would undoubtedly stop making progress. The Early Zifu cultivators in Jiangnan only dared to use other paths to supplement their last divine ability, and even then, they had to calculate thousands of times to avoid conflicts between their divine abilities... It was not a simple matter.

What's more, asking a Liushui cultivator to use a Fushui divine ability to attain the Mother Pin Shui Leap Position was simply a fantasy. If he had heard this idea a day earlier, Chi Chi Buzi would definitely have slapped the person who suggested it until they were reduced to ashes. He couldn't figure it out at all, and seeing the Lord Lord Zhengao raise his eyebrows, he heard:

"'Morning Cold Rain' is when falling snow meets the morning light and turns into a cold rain. The rain is contained within the snow, and the snow is the valley of the rain. In Fushui, it is the Leap of Mother Pin Shui. It is also fortunate that it can continue the three leaps of Mother Pin Shui above and connect with 'Qingxi Rain' below. Although it is not as good as using the other two Mother Pin Shui paths to cultivate, it can be considered a path."

The more Chi Chi Buzi listened, the more reasonable it sounded. He nodded hurriedly, and a little trust grew in his heart.

No matter what, this method still had four Liushui paths, which was still within the common sense of the secular world. Even if there was no chance to impact the Jin Dan realm, his life would at least be preserved. Chi Chi Buzi instead felt that not cultivating 'Qingxi Rain' and cultivating three Liushui paths before cultivating two Mother Pin Shui paths was more like a joke...

'The seniors and various classics have long written clearly that as long as one cultivates a divine ability other than the gold nature, the cultivation base will stop immediately. Cultivate two? Can it be cultivated? If it is cultivated, how many days can one last before the body explodes and dies?'

He judged that if the two paths were placed before him, he would also cultivate the five divine abilities of four Liushui and one Fushui. He was even glad that he had already cultivated 'Qingxi Rain', otherwise it would not be easy to refuse the other party. He immediately said: "This 'Morning Cold Rain'..."

It was not that Chi Chi Buzi did not have this Fushui cultivation method, but he knew nothing about these marvelous leap and surplus secrets, so he naturally had to ask for insurance. In his heart, he most hoped that the other party could produce an exclusive cultivation method, and his tone was hopeful and earnest.

Lu Lu Jiangxian was just waiting for him to ask this. After all, having already dangled the carrot, Chi Chi Buzi would naturally take the bait willingly. He immediately controlled the Lord Lord Zhengao and smiled:

"This matter is easy. 'Morning Cold Rain' is after all a Fushui cultivation method. It is best to modify it to better fit your path. If you have sufficient immortal merits, you can go to the mansion to request a cultivation method. The subsequent gold-seeking method is the same; none of it is difficult."

Hearing this made Chi Chi Buzi's heart thump. Lu Lu Jiangxian knew his power and felt a little worried in his heart. After all, writing a cultivation method also took time, and he was afraid that this person would come for a big haul, sacrificing a mountain of pity, and then he wouldn't be able to produce the cultivation method. At his current level, seeking a gold-seeking method was even more of a fantasy. He hurriedly added, saying regretfully:

"I must remind you of one thing: the colleagues in the mansion are not as easy to talk to as I am. They all have a poor opinion of the Purple Gold Method. You should go there less often. If you have requests, let Dang Jiang go and ask. The cost will not be small... Work harder!"

This reason was reasonable and logical. Chi Chi Buzi even felt that some of the doubts in his heart had been resolved, and there was less suspicion. He and Dang Jiang bowed respectfully and exited the platform. This man in green was simply refreshed and radiant.

Dang Jiang, however, looked at the token in his hand. Of the six hundred and forty-one immortal merits, only a fraction of forty-one remained, but Chi Chi Buzi didn't care.

'A joke, it's just the lives of two demon creatures. A single sentence about Liushui and Mother Pin Shui having a leap is worth the lives of how many Early Zifu cultivators in a lineage?'

Shao Hui was waiting outside holding a pipa and always looked at Chi Chi Buzi with great displeasure, but she was a very patient person and sent him outside without a word. When they reached the courtyard, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

This time Dang Jiang was on guard against him, and Chi Chi Buzi didn't mention any gifts, saying solemnly: "When I go back this time, I will slowly collect immortal merits. Doing this too much will arouse suspicion, and the path ahead is one where one's body and spirit can be destroyed at any time, like walking on thin ice. If I fall, you will also lose your path to promotion."

"You are very safe in the heavens, so please ask for me about the path of cultivation methods and how much they are worth. If there is a chance, collect some spirit elixirs and miraculous medicines for me. Being a great help to me is also helping yourself."

"Do you need to tell me?"

Dang Jiang spat at him. Chi Chi Buzi almost blurted out the word "idiot," but finally disappeared from the round pool, leaving Dang Jiang to look with envy, take a step, and suddenly feel that something was wrong in his heart.

"Mother... Chi the dog catches demons and earns three hundred immortal merits, three hundred immortal merits. I seem to... seem to earn less than his fraction... Why is there not even a commission! Can people working below be called working if they don't take a sixty or seventy percent cut!"

Huasuyuan Ming Shengqing Taiyin Mansion.

Heavy snow danced, and the figure of Lu Lu Jiangxian slowly manifested by the table. In the center of the table was a jade pot, and a full pot of blue-white, star-like, ocean-shaped divine ability was still shining.

'Chi Chi Buzi basically believes it... At least let him cultivate to the peak of the Early Zifu first. There are still two hundred years of time ahead, which can be considered a trump card.'

Lu Lu Jiangxian was not lying to him. According to his own calculations, if the gold-seeking method matched, although this path was strange and difficult, it was also a small path pointing directly to the Jin Dan realm.

"This 'Morning Cold Rain' cultivation method is also not difficult. The fact that Chi Chi Buzi was able to break through by relying on the Lu Qi back then shows that the Lu Qi is indeed inseparable from divine abilities, having the ability to sense divine abilities and nurture divine abilities. As long as it is written to the Foundation Establishment, it will be much simpler."

Lu Lu Jiangxian had plenty of gray Lu in his hands, and he also had seven white Lu in stock. Although there was no record of the sacrificial method, the effectiveness of these two grades of Lu Qi should be different: "Chi Chi Buzi has great ability. When the time comes, I will reward him with a gray Lu and let him break through with his own water-grinding effort. I will leave the white Lu for that guy Li Li Ximing, so that the 'Jun Jun Daowei' in his hand can be cultivated faster, so he won't be beaten and flee everywhere."

He pinched a few human bodies and tried a few times. As long as one cultivated to the Early Zifu, the Lu Qi could indeed sense the previous divine ability and help nurture the next divine ability.

"Li Li Ximing's 'Ye Tianmen' is not yet complete, and it will take some time before it can be put to use."

He withdrew his thoughts and observed for a while. Chi Chi Buzi outside was as usual. Only then did he wave his sleeves, and a small, exquisite seven-colored peacock with a golden beak and golden feet appeared on the ground.

This peacock's body should have been as huge as a mountain, but it entered the world of the mirror and was suppressed by him into a small one. Lu Lu Jiangxian glanced at it twice and had a rough estimate: "It's far worse than Yu Fuyu. Both its body and soul have defects. Although its true spirit was forcibly collected by the Dharma Mirror, it has no divine ability at all. It can be used as mediocre resources, but it's very boring to use."

These pity-filled people were full of those scriptures, and the spells they learned were nothing without the release soil. Only a few innate instincts of the peacock remained. Even if it were pulled up to write spells, it would be a mediocre person with an empty brain.

At the moment, he gently raised his hand, and the peacock on the ground immediately turned into strands of colorful flowing light and leaped up, quickly gathering into his palm, condensing into a seven-colored glazed treasure ball the size of a fingernail.

Lu Lu Jiangxian originally wanted to take a soul to match Yu Fuyu's Shaoyin divine ability to refine the Lu Qi, but the pity-filled people had no divine ability and only cultivation base. Shaoyin divine ability at least had some other uses. At the moment, he simply took the whole peacock to use.

"Come!"

The entire Tiangong froze instantly. Every Heavenly Soldier and General froze in place like a statue. The golden incense fire suppressed under this huge Tiangong gushed out, spanning the sky, all flying towards the seven-colored glazed treasure ball in his hand.

The golden lake that Dang Jiang and others saw under the Twelve White Jade Bridges was just a corner. The incense fire of millions of people around the lake year after year had condensed into a huge golden lake under the Tiangong, decaying at a terrifying speed.

Lu Lu Jiangxian had never had such consumption when condensing Lu Qi before, and he didn't even consider whether the incense fire was sufficient. At the moment, the consumption of Qing Lu jumped from ten thousand to one million. It was only thanks to the day and night accumulation of the past fifty years that the water level of this golden lake dropped bit by bit and finally supported it.

A bit of cyan luster emerged from in front of him, and countless mysterious patterns appeared in the air, spreading out like a spider web. Various immortal bells and string music played out of thin air. This Lu Qi swayed, seemingly observing the surrounding environment with curiosity.

Lu Lu Jiangxian took it casually and pressed it into his palm, and all the strange phenomena disappeared. The golden lake under his feet rose and fell, leaving only a small half.

"Everything is ready. Once the Li family's sacrifice is over, it can be used to bestow the talisman seeds."
