Chapter 797

Li Li Ximing naturally had nothing to say. The only one his family had more contact with was Chang Xi of 'Gen Earth', and then Su Mian of 'Bao Earth'. He had only heard that there was a Cheng Yan cultivating 'Wu Earth', but had never even seen him, so he just kept listening and said some nonsense halfway through to play along.

Taking advantage of the gap in their conversation, Li Li Ximing asked Senior Senior Lingdu:

"Senior... do you know about the Xiaguang orthodoxy?"

Daoist Daoist Houfu's expression was a bit playful, and his gaze suddenly became deep, while Senior Senior Lingdu frowned and said:

"Is Can Zhaojing talking about... the Mount Luoxia Mountain of Wu Guang Hu Jie Xia?"

Li Li Ximing was considering it for his elder brother and took the opportunity to ask. He did not expect the first sentence to involve Mount Luoxia Mountain. He was also hearing this name for the first time. He was slightly stunned and hurriedly said: "No... it is the Xiaguang Early Zifu orthodoxy..."

Senior Senior Lingdu was stunned at first, clearly relieved, and smiled helplessly: "All the Xiaguang in the world, one comes from Mount Luoxia, and the second comes from Duan Mountain. Although it seems to be two places, it is just that one person enjoys it alone. You want to talk about the Xiaguang Early Zifu orthodoxy... it is also someone else's private property. The vast majority of orthodoxies do not have this thing..."

Li Li Ximing flattered:

"This junior also knows that it cannot be asked elsewhere, and the vast majority of orthodoxies naturally do not have it. But an ancient and unfathomable orthodoxy like yours naturally far exceeds others... so I thought to come and ask."

Daoist Daoist Houfu sighed, his gaze meaningful, and replied: "Can Zhaojing takes it for granted... there is no connection to Xiaguang."

He spoke obscurely. Li Li Ximing raised his head in surprise, but the two had no intention of speaking. Someone came to the forest again. Tantai Mumming stepped up quickly. After Daoist Daoist Houfu, who was talking, finished, the three looked over, and he said respectfully:

"I have already taken Daoist Xia to recognize her clan, let her read Senior Brother Yu's life story, and now she has changed her clothes and is waiting quietly in the forest."

"Good."

Senior Senior Lingdu answered with a smile: "Daoist Can Zhaojing should still have things to entrust. Let her come up."

Li Li Ximing understood that it was probably not suitable to stay for long. He also pondered in his heart: 'It is indeed time to stay for long, and the benefits have been taken. The Mount Jiuqiu orthodoxy is very good to my family, and it is not polite to stay for long. It is better to leave early.'

Soon he saw Xia Xia Shouyu come up, dressed in white, with a light green long skirt on her lower body, hanging with shellfish, clanging, a dress of an overseas cultivator. Li Li Ximing let her come up, took two scrolls from his sleeves, one red and one gold, and said: "Take these two scrolls back. The red scroll is to set your marriage, and the gold scroll is my handwritten letter. Just hand them both to Elder Brother Xuan Brother Xuan in the lake."

Xia Xia Shouyu did not know what she was thinking, but she thanked him respectfully on the surface: "Many thanks to the True Person for bestowing the marriage! This junior will definitely hand them to the Elder!"

Only then did he turn to look at Daoist Daoist Houfu and bowed: "Troubling you, Senior!"

Daoist Daoist Houfu nodded slightly. Li Li Ximing signaled Xia Xia Shouyu to stand behind him and saw Daoist Daoist Houfu reply:

"Can Zhaojing is polite, just call me Daoist Daoist Houfu... In recent years, 【Sheng Bai Dao】 and 【Great Kang Zhao Temple】 have been fighting, and the Great Great Xiyuan is shaking. The Sword Gate is asking my Great Xiukui Temple for help. I am also going to the Great Great Xiyuan in the west and can pass by. It is not a trouble."

Li Li Ximing nodded. Senior Senior Lingdu was very surprised, opened his eyes wide, and asked: "【Sheng Bai Dao】? Is it one of the three of Fenkuai Island? This is extraordinary! This is extraordinary..."

Li Li Ximing knew quite a bit about ancient matters, and Fenkuai Island could not be considered a big secret. In those years, Immortal Yingze divided the West Shaoyang Demon Lord, and one of them was the demon head Xi Yan, who was in the Great Great Xiyuan...

Although he did not know why Senior Senior Lingdu pulled out the Xi Yan Demon Lord when he heard 【Sheng Bai Dao】, it did not prevent Li Li Ximing from realizing that this matter was extraordinary. He said in a low voice:

"Senior's meaning is... West Shaoyang..."

Daoist Daoist Houfu only shook his head. Even though he spoke so cautiously, he still raised a finger and placed it on his lips. His expression was very heavy, and he replied: "That is not necessarily the case. It is the rise of 【Sheng Bai Dao】. First, it was more than ten years ago... the Sheng Bai Dao Master attained the Alien Prefecture, and a year ago, one of the Five Brights also refined supernatural powers. Two Early Zifu were attained in succession, and the situation reversed. The few Eyed Lianmin of 【Great Kang Zhao Temple】 could not take it..."

"Although there is no trace of that one, as a West Shaoyang orthodoxy, it is possible that it is the work of the great person."

Senior Senior Lingdu's complexion was not very good. He also raised a finger, pointed to the sky this time, and replied:

"Don't forget, there is also a West Shaoyang outside the sky... If it was the injury he suffered, and it caused the other two to have abnormalities, it is also possible."

The three looked at each other in silence. These two dared to speak, but Li Li Ximing did not dare to listen. After all, one was a Sun orthodoxy and Great Yin Immortal Attribute, and the other was a Mount Jiuqiu orthodoxy and an overseas hegemon... He, Li Li Ximing, was a down-and-out person, and there was no one covering his head. Seeing the two not speaking, he felt cold behind his back and waved his hand:

"I will not bother you anymore. Many thanks to Mount Jiuqiu Immortal Mountain for the spirit fire this time. The affection is kept in my heart..."

He said a few polite words. Senior Senior Lingdu only kept him for a few sentences and sent him out of the mountain. This old man was clearly absent-minded. The three had their own thoughts, and this farewell also appeared very sloppy. Only Daoist Daoist Houfu mentioned one more thing: "This trip to send Xia Xia Shouyu back to the lake will inevitably make people feel that I have met Can Zhaojing. I am not afraid of Ye Gui or Senior Chang Xiao... It is just that if Ting Lan comes to ask, I will not be easy to explain to her."

Clearly, as a Sun orthodoxy, Ziyan and Xiukui still had quite a bit of affection. Daoist Daoist Houfu was not easy to deceive her to her face.

Li Li Ximing considered slightly. After all, he still had to build a grand array, and it was indeed not appropriate to leave this True Person aside. However, exposing his whereabouts was also troublesome, and he should not give too accurate a location to prevent being used by Senior Chang Xiao. After thinking about it again and again, he took a jade pendant from his sleeve and handed it to Daoist Daoist Houfu, saying:

"I am traveling in the East A Wang Sea nearby. If Daoist Ting Lan wants to find me, let her come to the junction of the East A Wang Sea and the Peacock Sea, crush this talisman, and I will go find her."

Daoist Daoist Houfu took it in understanding. Li Li Ximing bid farewell to the two and flew across the sea. He flew to the nearby East A Wang Sea. The chaos here had subsided slightly. Several demon generals had divided their territories, and small forces had also grown. The sea area did not look like there was any turmoil.

He carefully confirmed his Dharma body, confirmed that there was no West Shaoyang brilliance, and muttered: "Caught off guard, suddenly talking about such terrifying things... Talking about one leads to three, and can pull out seven or eight..."

Li Li Ximing raised his eyes to investigate, dived into the sea, and fell onto the seabed. At the moment, he mobilized 【Yu Gan Shan to the Sea Tiger】. Under the cover of a pure Gen Earth brilliance, he traveled through the ground, drove the Gen Tiger Flying Shuttle into the underground, and found a fire vein to settle down.

Using 【Yu Gan Shan to the Sea Tiger】 to create a cave, he drew the fire vein into it, placed the alchemy furnace on it, and only then did Li Li Ximing sit down.

He had not yet made any moves when he suddenly felt a chill in his Yang Prefecture, as if a cold force had smashed down on his head, smashing his mind into sparks, his vision blurred, and the cold air suddenly rushed to his face, tears gushing out: "This..."

'It's over!'

It was as if a big hand had suddenly grabbed his spiritual sense and rushed into the infinite sky outside the sky.

Suddenly seeing the sun and stars, the white jade immortal palaces were lined up, the clouds were lingering, the golden crow's divine light was flying, the golden lake's twelve bridges were lying gracefully, thousands of halls and rooms, birds were flying...

This scenery passed by in a hurry. Li Li Ximing had not seen it clearly before he fell back into the darkness, as if he were in a deep underground palace, with little light before his eyes, a stone bridge crossing it, and a man in gray clothes with blood on his body standing on the bridge. After identifying it slightly, he was surprised to find a steady and calm middle-aged face.

Wang Li Quwan.

In the dim darkness, there seemed to be only one stone bridge, hanging empty in a piece of darkness. Wang Li Quwan was looking up, holding a blue-gold precious sword tightly in his hand. Above, pieces of white brilliance like silk and threads were hanging down, seemingly connecting to some wonderful Daoist treasury.

Li Li Ximing's vision zoomed in on the white brilliance, and countless wonderful treasures, Daoist books, and magic treasures flashed before his eyes like flowers in a fog, colorful and gorgeous, finally stopping at the spirit sword hanging in mid-air in the deepest part.

This spirit sword was simple and generous, appearing light gray overall, without a single pattern, different from the luxurious and complex refining style of today. The sword guard at the hilt was almost the same width as the sword blade, causing the entire sword to appear as a character.

What truly attracted Li Li Ximing was the only decoration of this spirit sword—a bright white spirit stone at the end of the sword.

The familiar aura coming from this spirit stone made the talisman seed in Li Li Ximing's Yang Prefecture restless, almost making Li Li Ximing tremble. This feeling was not the first time. In those years, when Yu Yu Muxian came by boat from the lake, the young Li Li Ximing was touched by the fragment and fainted, which was this feeling.

Li Li Ximing's heart exploded like lightning, flashing a word:

'Immortal Mirror Fragment!'

The white brilliance retreated rapidly, followed by the dimness that dissipated quickly. Li Li Ximing only felt a dizziness, slowly opened his eyes, and saw dark stone walls, dark alchemy furnaces standing before him, and the crackling sound of the fire vein appearing in his ears. Clearly, he had arrived in the underground cave.

He first performed a great salute, then stood up, his face pale, and a cold air slowly spat out from his lips. Enduring the discomfort, he touched a jade box from his storage bag:

"Cough!"

Just as Li Li Ximing opened his mouth, several pale vines grew wildly from his mouth, instantly grabbing his chin. Several branches hung down, blooming with pure white flowers in mid-air like spider plants.

The cave was filled with fragrance, a piece of chill.

He reached out and grabbed, pulling the spirit object out completely, putting it into the jade box, not daring to look more, and hurriedly checked his body.

'Did not suffer any Great Yin supernatural power impact... just a slight cold... So it was the Immortal Mirror... I thought it was the True Person Wang Yi, who angered which one, just happened to be nearby, and was about to be killed by the fruit position...'

Relieved, the chill in Li Li Ximing's heart faded, and he was shocked and overjoyed.

'Wang Li Quwan... that is Wang Li Quwan! That place must be the Mifan Daoist treasury, and there is an Immortal Mirror fragment in the Mifan Daoist treasury!'

'This place is more than ten thousand miles away from Jiangbei, yet I can see the Mifan scenery... How powerful... Where is that place like an immortal palace... Could it be outside the sky...'

He estimated that he should have hooked onto a place outside the sky first, then approached Jiangbei along the relationship between the outside of the sky and the Immortal Mirror, observed the Mifan inheritance, then shuttled into the Mifan Daoist treasury, and detected the location of the fragment...

'Truly a divine skill...'

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Li Li Ximing soon realized that he had already missed it.

'The opening of the Mifan orthodoxy must have an interval. This time it should be that the Chengyun Gate gathered the inheritance, and the Mifan orthodoxy was opened for the first time... Although I missed this time, as long as I wait for a period of time, there is still a chance...'

'If this is the case, it is completely too late for my family to cultivate a Mifan successor. It is impossible to let that precious sword stay inside for ten or twenty years... Only by fully supporting Wang Li Quwan...'

He sat quietly in place, his eyes heavy:

'Wang Li Quwan... Wang Li Quwan... is it destiny, or is it fate?'

Li Li Ximing slowly restrained his gaze. Li Li Jiangqian in the family also received the talisman and must have sensed this matter now. With him sitting in the family, there will be arrangements, and Li Li Ximing does not need to rush.

Only then did he drop his gaze to the jade box. The moon orchid in the box was still full of vitality, blooming on eight small flowers, emitting a light white halo.

'What a Early Zifu resource.'

Li Li Ximing's gaze had long been different from before. The sky light was hidden between his eyebrows, and he could distinguish many grades. Although he could not recognize what treasure this Great Yin spirit object was, he could still recognize that it was a Early Zifu-level resource, similar to 【Jiao Wood Gold Spike】.

'Just in time to open the furnace to refine elixirs, and there is another great medicine... it is on me.'

Calming down slightly, he felt around his body, accurately pressed to the position of the Dantian, stretched out his index finger and thumb to measure, and supported with two fingers.

"Clatter!"

The skin and flesh at his lower abdomen were suddenly supported open, revealing the Dantian Qi sea inside, and the golden brilliance shone from it, making the entire cave bright.

Li Li Ximing hurriedly lifted his sleeves, broke into his belly with his other hand, groped for a while, and pulled something out bit by bit.

It was a white, round bead, smooth and round, presenting a crystal-like luster, about the size of a grain of rice. As soon as it left his abdomen, it immediately expanded to the size of a fist, emitting an intoxicating fragrance.

Li Li Ximing almost could not hold it. His entire body's supernatural powers operated, using the suppressing power of the "Yetian Gate" to suppress the round bead so it would no longer expand.

"Hoo!"

This thing was the spiritual energy refined by 【Li Gufeng Fire-Drawing】 beside the 【Fang Yin Pool】... If it were a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it would be hidden in the Qi sea, neither used up nor moved. Even for a Early Zifu cultivator, it would take a long time to draw it out with normal Qi.

Fortunately, Li Li Ximing's mind was flexible. It was fastest to dig it out from the Qi sea with his hand. At the moment, he relaxed and stroked the wound, and it immediately recovered cleanly, without leaving a single scar.

'It is just that without the blessing of Li Gufeng Fire-Drawing, my supernatural power suppression is far inferior.'

Looking at the round bead in his hand, Li Li Ximing immediately pondered with the eyes of his old profession:

'Pure Clear Qi, Lesser Yin supernatural magic power, stayed in my Qi sea for a period of time, stained with a bit of Bright Yang. If it is used as an elixir... it should be able to produce a furnace of spirit elixirs that increase supernatural powers and have wonderful uses.'

'After all, this Qi elixir needs my supernatural power suppression at all times. Once I let go, I fear it will spray out and turn into a mountain of spiritual energy. If I don't refine it, it is not a way to keep it in my hand forever.'

His complexion suddenly became strange.

'It is not that there is no way to carry it... I can also open my belly and stuff it back into the Qi sea to let 【Li Gufeng Fire-Drawing】 manage it...'

These words were naturally a joke. Although 【Li Gufeng Fire-Drawing】 could suppress this thing without effort, this thing had already turned into the size of a fist, and it could not be stuffed back into the Qi sea even if he forced it.

Although 【Three-Watch Guarding Profound Fire】 had not been refined, with 【Li Gufeng Fire-Drawing】 in hand, Li Li Ximing figured that one hand was not afraid. At the moment, he took out the vermilion bowl with one hand and flicked his finger.

"Boom!"

【Three-Watch Guarding Profound Fire】 surged out again, and the bright red brilliance immediately illuminated the entire cave. Li Li Ximing inhaled lightly.

"Clatter!"

The entire flame immediately flew out from the bowl, surging in along his breath. In just an instant, the bright red brilliance had disappeared from the cave, leaving only an empty vermilion glazed bowl pinched in his palm.

As soon as 【Three-Watch Guarding Profound Fire】 entered his body, it wanted to escape. 【Li Gufeng Fire-Drawing】 immediately shone brightly, like a hungry beast, binding 【Three-Watch Guarding Profound Fire】 with an extremely strong pulling force. This flame shone slightly, and Li Li Ximing had completely controlled it.

He easily drew this flame down, settled it in the Giant Que Court, and the Bright Yang Purple Flame not only did not conflict with the True Fire but actively gave up its position, guarding this True Fire in the middle.

Only then did Li Li Ximing open his eyes. His pupils first turned bright red, then disappeared in a flash, then emerged with light gold, and then slowly retreated to their ordinary color.

"Good!"

Looking at the Fang Yin Qi elixir and the moon orchid in his hand, Li Li Ximing felt very comfortable in his heart and pondered the refining method.

'I don't have the corresponding elixir formula. If I refine these two things separately, I can only mix them myself. I fear that none of them will be particularly precious... It is best to refine them together. Clear Qi, Lesser Yin, Great Yin, and Bright Yang do not conflict, so I can make a great elixir!'

'After all, alchemy emphasizes the monarch, minister, assistant, and envoy. These two things are both great medicines, equal in strength, and their natures are different. It is impossible to refine them. Even if they are barely refined, the medicinal properties will be wasted in vain.'

The alchemy method of the Xiao family is the traditional alchemy technique of Jiangnan. Li Li Ximing had long ago broken out of Xiao Xiao Yuansi's alchemy path. Li Li Ximing had several refining methods worth mentioning: 【Brother Xuan Que Jing Heart】 and 【Tian Yi Cui Yuan】 only had different elixir formulas, and the refining methods were similar. There was also the 【Tian Xin Yi Yi】 obtained from the sea corner, which was a complete system of alchemy methods, counting as a unique branch.

'The 【Tian Xin Yi Yi Alchemy Method】 has high requirements for Dao practice, which is not difficult. It is just that using life as the main medicine to refine elixirs... hiss...'

Li Li Ximing was also a master in alchemy, and he saw it much more thoroughly than the vast majority of Early Zifu in Jiangnan. After having this 【Tian Xin Yi Yi Alchemy Method】, his alchemy vision and alchemy technique were on a higher level.

Jiangnan uses nature to refine elixirs, which is to match the nature of various spirit objects into elixirs. What is tested for the alchemist is magic power, cultivation, and supernatural powers. The 【Tian Xin Yi Yi Alchemy Method】 uses life to refine elixirs, which is to match the life grid of various spirit objects into elixirs. What is tested for the alchemist is Dao practice, life number, and position.

'Spirit objects also have nature and life. The position of the moon orchid spirit object is terrifyingly high, while the Fang Yin Qi elixir is essentially magic power, having nature but no life. Although it walked a circle in my body, it must be far worse than the moon orchid!'

'If I refine it with 【Tian Xin Yi Yi】, the moon orchid spirit object will be the monarch medicine, and the Fang Yin Qi elixir will be the iron-clad minister and assistant. Lesser Yin is the assistant of Great Yin, which is extremely fitting! Furthermore, the moon orchid was born in my mouth, and the Qi elixir was born in my abdomen. They are one body, and the life principles are connected. The opportunity is natural. Who but me can refine this elixir?'

Li Li Ximing suddenly understood. He groped his way down, and in terms of alchemy, he vaguely caught a glimpse of a higher level of atmosphere! At the moment, he was in high spirits, slapped the furnace with one palm, and the bright red 【Three-Watch Guarding Profound Fire】 surged out, gathering and circling on both sides of the furnace, surging to the bottom of the furnace, gathering into red profound flames.

He was focused as never before, specially took out a 【White Emerald Spirit Wood】 gifted when breaking through to Early Zifu, which he had collected for a long time, and threw it into the True Fire first.

Then the storage bag on his waist shook lightly, and boxes, jade bottles, large and small, were all swept out by supernatural magic power. 【Hui Yuan Spirit Water】, 【Wu Xi Sand】, 【Yuan Yang Spirit Essence】... various spirit objects flowed out, jumping into the furnace one after another.

A layer of viscous bright purple elixir liquid gradually gathered at the bottom of the furnace. The 【Fang Yin Qi elixir】 fell into it and immediately wanted to turn into a massive spiritual energy storm and break out of the furnace. Li Li Ximing's sky light between his eyebrows shone brightly, and white supernatural power suppression pressed down, binding all spiritual energy in the furnace.

The last moon orchid grass fell into it. Li Li Ximing immediately sealed the furnace lid, pressed both hands on the side of the furnace, covered it with Bright Yang supernatural powers, closed his eyes, and exerted all his strength.

'This elixir has already exhausted my life's learning. It must be the peak of my alchemy path in the first half of my life!'

South Sea.

The Stone Pond Sea is the ocean with the least land in the South Sea. It is called the Ten Thousand Mile Stone Pond, backed by the Southern Frontier, facing Song Continent in the east, and connecting to Lu Fang in the south. Excluding the North Dan Continent of Mount Qingchi, there are only small islands scattered like stars, just connecting to several large continents. In recent years, it has been peaceful, and trade has been even more prosperous.

North Dan's scenery is beautiful, with an Elephant Mountain standing in the center, about six hundred feet high. There is a pavilion on the top of the mountain, and cultivators are coming and going in a hurry, which is very lively. Passing through this pavilion, there is another pavilion in the backyard, and a man in white is standing in the pavilion.

He looks elegant and atmospheric, with long cheeks, and his eyebrows and eyes are close together, presenting a generous elegance. He holds a sword flat in his hand, which is bright white overall, but intertwined with seven-colored brilliance.

The surging sword Qi is brewing on the sword spine. He frowned slightly, closed his eyes, and his face was pale. After a full few breaths, the sword light on the sword flickered, about to spray out, and only then did he suddenly open his eyes.

"Cough."

He coughed twice, and pieces of osmanthus flowers rolled down along his robes, scattering into a circle of golden light on the ground.

He had clearly lost his mind, but the sword light on the sword only flickered, not spraying out, which shows his profound attainments in magic arts and sword arts.

This person is the Master of the Ultimate Heaven Pavilion, a direct descendant of the Wangyue Immortal Clan, and now the Lord of Stone Pond North Dan—【Heavenly Pavilion Xia】 Li Li Xizhi!

Li Li Xizhi calmed down slightly, the brilliance on the sword stabilized immediately, and his other sleeve flicked lightly. The osmanthus flowers on the ground were all rolled into his sleeves. A jade box jumped out from his waist, and in an instant, it was collected into it and hidden in the storage bag. All traces disappeared without a trace.

He raised his eyebrows, and a look of uncertainty flashed in his eyes: 'Immortal Mirror fragment... which disciple of my family touched the opportunity...'
